Chapter 727: Chapter 154: Active and Passive
Ping’er’s face still bore an expression of shock, sorrow, and uncertainty, and she had not yet recovered from the series of changes.
At hearing Zhou Yan say this, her bright, large eyes imdiately turned red.
"Young Master, Ping’er is not suffering, but Ping’er has finally kept the Holy Daughter’s Life Soul safe and sound, fulfilling the expectations of the Holy Daughter and yourself."
Ping’er sobbed softly, unable to restrain herself from embracing Zhou Yan’s waist and resting her head on Zhou Yan’s shoulder as she broke into tears.
Zhou Yan felt a bit emotional, but he comforted the two won by his side from ti to ti.
This scene made Xiao Wanting, who was standing in the distance, sowhat shocked. After a long while, she seed to realize that this Zhou Yan was indeed Zhou Yan, the Lei Yan King!
At this mont, Xiao Wanting’s gaze flickered with an exceptionally peculiar expression. She had originally planned to take ’Seven Cosmos’ and nurture him properly, yet to her surprise, ’Seven Cosmos’ turned out to be this man.
Xiao Wanting pondered for a long ti, her eyes reflecting a mix of desolation, excitent, and other complex emotions as her mory seed to imrse in a certain mont from the past.
However, she ultimately just sighed and facing Zhou Yan, said, "Lei Yan King, or should I say Zhou Yan? The Goddess had already placed a True Void interference here earlier so your true identity is now known only to a few of us, and you need not worry that I will do anything to you."
"I only want to ask you one thing: apart from the Jiang Family Saintess and the Netherworld Goddess, do you still rember another—Xiao Ziyi?"
"Does the Venerable wish
to rember, or not?"
Zhou Yan gave a bitter smile, feeling quite helpless.
In his mories, there were so parts about Xiao Ziyi stored in the mory Crystal, but he had not retrieved them, for Xiao Ziyi was a madwoman.
Those mories also contained so poignant tales from the past.
"Rember or not, you know in your heart. You must know that many won do not necessarily need an outco from you, just an attitude—simply knowing whether you hold them in your heart or not is enough. So many years of youth have been wasted on you, but how did you treat her at that ti? If you do not acknowledge the past life, then do not get entangled with the Goddess or Saintess. If you acknowledge it, then accept the responsibilities you ought to bear!"
"I never had a favorable impression of you, nor did I like you, but your capability and courage left
speechless. I hope in this lifeti, you will not let
down."
"The Goddess asked
to co, likely intending to help you, yet if you prove incapable, I will not aid you. The Demon Soul Palace was handed over to my control because of my sister Xiao Ziyi, but I will not relinquish it to you. If you have the prowess to truly step into the world of planes, I will accept you. Otherwise, you cannot even maintain control over all your forces."
Xiao Wanting spoke continuously in a cold tone, venting the dissatisfaction in her heart.
Though there was a sense of venting, her tone was not as cold as she portrayed.
A woman, after all, is mostly bark and no bite.
"I haven’t forgotten her. Her selfless devotion to , I rember it all, it’s just that I failed too many in the last life, in this life—" Zhou Yan said bitterly.
"This life, just treat them well, and after I leave, I will subtly support Lei Yan King’s benevolence and his help for our Netherworld Plane, ensuring all of the Netherworld rember your great kindness, and not target Lei Yan King anymore, allowing you to be more ’ordinary’."
"I know you are looking for the Extre Cold Ice Soul Stone, but unfortunately, the Netherworld Plane no longer has them. Those remnants were already stolen by Jiang Tianling earlier. If you need it, you may seek the Extre Cold Netherworld King. He should still have a million-year-old portion of the Extre Cold Ice Soul Stone. Finding him will cost you sothing, and he might give it to you, or perhaps he won’t. Of course, whether he gives it to you or not, you must not reveal your true identity! You know how valuable your soul is. There are still people who would wish for your death, to extract your soul to comprehend and strive for the Immortal Tao."
"I understand, thank you for your help." Zhou Yan spoke sincerely.
"Hmph, who helped you? I was rely looking out for my sister’s pitiful sake, and gave you so pointers!"
"Moreover, I know you dislike changing your na and prefer using your real na. Thus, I will cultivate many geniuses, giving them nas similar to ’Zhou Yan’, and make the na ’Yan’ a very common ’na’, turning it into a cultural inheritance of the Supre Way. This way, using your real na in the future will not draw attention. After all, ’Yan’ also represents the Tao, a word belonging to those with ’Divinity’. It is not bad for a na, and it won’t be deliberately rembered, so you need not use soone else’s na."
Xiao Wanting carefully eliminated potential troubles for Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan looked at her with a peculiar gaze; her face displayed a slight unease. She soon stomped her foot and twisted her waist, her hands on her hips as she cried out: "What are you looking at, with those thieving eyes? I’m leaving! Rember, if that old guy, the Extre Cold Netherworld King, doesn’t give you the Extre Cold Ice Soul Stone, you should head to the Ancient Ice Glacier in the Netherworld Extre Lands yourself. His temperant is strange; do not provoke him and bring trouble upon yourself."
Seeing that Zhou Yan was still staring at her intensely, Xiao Wanting looked sowhat panicked. After saying this, she transford into a streak of light and fled.
Zhou Yan touched his nose, but his heart was clear as a mirror.
He knew Xiao Wanting must have been deeply enamored of Lei Yan King; otherwise, she wouldn’t struggle even a little to maintain any seriousness.
Won, even those of high status, always feel a lot of discomfort and lack of confidence in front of the n they fancy.
Xiao Wanting was exactly like this. Even though she was a Venerable, she was still a woman, a woman who fancied Lei Yan King.
"My husband, Sisi’s condition is gradually stabilizing. Qingyan checked her, and she no longer has any lasting aftermath."
Mu Qingyan watched Xiao Wanting leave and softly said.
"Qingyan, you’ve worked hard. By the way, you let Xiao Wanting co because you were worried the plan might fail, and I would encounter danger after my real ergence, wanting her to desperately save , right? You actually planned and manipulated several Venerables in the plan, didn’t you? And then had them leave because the plan was still under control and you didn’t want to expose it, right?"
Zhou Yan suddenly looked up and inquired.
He could not help but admire Mu Qingyan’s intelligence heavily, truly worthy of her title as the ’Wan Jie Divine Woman.’
Mu Qingyan was taken aback, then didn’t hide the truth, saying, "Yes, husband. As long as my husband survives well, what does it matter if Qingyan employs a little scheming? This life, Qingyan does not want to be passive anymore."
Hearing her words, Zhou Yan was moved, but seeing Qingyan’s gentle and charming deanor, he felt a surge of passion.
He had watched his past life with Mu Qingyan enjoying over five months of romance in the Ti-Space Soul-locking Tower—his desires had already been stirred.
Thus, Zhou Yan gave a sly smile, took Mu Qingyan’s hand, and affectionately said, "Qingyan, if you don’t want to be passive, then take the initiative tonight. How about we experience the delights of the Netherworld Nine Heavens for hundreds and thousands of tis just like our last life, enjoying the thrill of floating towards Immortality and stepping into the Immortal Realm?"
"My husband, Lilith and Ping’er are still here; they are still young, don’t lead them astray!"
Suddenly blushing, Mu Qingyan couldn’t help but rebuke in a charming tone.
At this ti, Lilith looked confused, whereas Ping’er suddenly blushed too.
