"Boss, where have you been these past two days?"
"Guess."
"Old Shu, you disappeared to chase girls for these two days, didn’t you?"
"Guess."
"Little Yunyun..."
"Guess."
"Guess your sister!"
Xiao Feng slapped at the back of your head, but you deftly dodged it.
"Madman, gentlen should use their mouths, not their hands. Let tell you, Brother’s martial arts have improved a lot compared to two days ago. Now, taking on both of you wouldn’t be a problem."
You weren’t bragging. Inside the array barrier, indeed, the surge of zombies like tidal waves had honed your impressive martial arts skills. Even though you didn’t have your Ring Head Knife now, if you had it in hand, you could once again wreak havoc.
"Brother isn’t interested in the ghosts of where you die. What I want to talk about is Zhao’er’s issue."
"Zhao’er? What happened to Zhao’er?" The mont you heard it was about Zhao’er, it was as if soone stepped on a cat’s tail; you instantly jumped up.
Xiao Feng glanced at you, his face full of a mischievous expression: "Guess."
"Guess your sister!"
At this very mont, at the southern end of Earth, on a beautiful hillside grassland in New Zealand, the Empress and Wu Qiyi were leisurely walking across the lush green grass.
"He’s already out." Wu Qiyi slightly turned her head, looking northward.
"I know."
The Empress replied indifferently.
"It’s ti to go back."
"Are you so eager to see him?"
"Mm."
Wu Qiyi never hid her feelings.
"Why?"
Looking at Wu Qiyi, looking at that face she knew all too well, her thoughts easily flew back more than a thousand years.
But those were the vicissitudes of change; everything had long since been transford. The woman before her with a figure and appearance identical to her elder sister was no longer the all-powerful, high-minded Empress of a bygone era.
"Ever since I first saw him, I felt my originally lonely life had beco colorful; since the year I turned five, when I made a promise with him, he has been deeply buried in my heart; and not long ago when he ventured into the Heavenless Hell alone to bargain with King Qinguang and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva using his own soul to recreate my Three Souls and Seven Spirits, I beca one with him, with no distance left between us."
Hearing Wu Qiyi’s words, the Empress was startled. The first two incidents, in her view, were just children’s play, and she had also learned about them from the Shadow Guard; however, she had never imagined there was such an event as venturing alone into Heavenless Hell.
Heavenless Hell, that kind of place, even the fearless Empress would feel her scalp tingle at the thought...
"Since he has done so much for you, why do you still let him stay with Zhao’er? With your status and abilities, taking him away from a still ntally undeveloped Zhao’er should be easy, shouldn’t it?"
"I used to have that thought, but eventually, I figured it out. Since my soul is already bound to his, why bother with worldly conventions and ti? Besides, as long as I can see him all the ti, my heart is full."
Looking at Wu Qiyi, the Empress couldn’t help but scoff coldly: "That really doesn’t sound like you. In the past, you went to extres to monopolize his affection; it was you who killed our sister with your own hands."
Turning her head slightly, Wu Qiyi’s smile was serene and natural, as refreshing as a spring breeze, delighting the heart and mind.
"Borrowing his words, the mont I drank the Grandma ng Soup, I cut off all ties with my past life, with no more connections. He and I only have this life; we’re irrelevant to the past life and the next one."
"Hmph, you sure know how to let go."
The Empress still faced her with a cold deanor.
Wu Qiyi was the Young Master of the Luanfeng Pavilion and, by status alone, was a generation below the founding Empress of the Imperial Alliance. However, looking across the world, aside from Zhao’er, no one else could speak so calmly with the Empress.
Looking at the Empress, Wu Qiyi smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" Even though she knew that the stunning beauty before her wasn’t from her own array barrier, seeing a similar smile still stirred sothing in the Empress’s heart.
"You’ve always kept him in your heart, haven’t you?"
As soon as these words ca out, a sudden oppressive force from heaven and earth enveloped Wu Qiyi.
"Don’t think I don’t dare to kill you!"
Faced with the Empress’s terrifying pressure, Wu Qiyi’s face remained as tranquil as a flowering peach tree. "It’s an undeniable fact, even if you kill , nothing will change. Moreover, I also know you can’t bring yourself to harm him, so you use soone else’s hand to kill him; but when he’s in danger, deep down, you struggle..."
"Enough!"
With a flick of her hand, the Empress sliced off a layer of a three-story boulder atop the adjacent hill, which thunderously crashed down!
Wu Qiyi smiled and continued, "Just like when we were young, you still can’t face your own heart."
The Empress’s heart jolted violently!
Staring at Wu Qiyi in disbelief, "You... you actually rember..."
"Mm, when my soul was restructuring, I also integrated the mories from before," Wu Qiyi turned around, still wearing a smile, but that smile made the Empress stagger backward several steps.
She knitted her brows tightly, staring deathly at Wu Qiyi, "So you’ve been playing all along!"
"You, you’re still so persistent," Wu Qiyi sighed slightly, "I’ve already made it clear, my past life has no connection to this one. Now, I’m just a woman living behind the scenes, and this life is dedicated to him."
Looking at the most familiar stranger, the Empress beca silent.
"Go back..." Wu Qiyi gently called out.
The Empress curtly flung her sleeve, "Don’t ddle in my affairs!"
With that, the Empress stepped into the void in front of her and her figure promptly vanished!
Observing the beautiful scenery before her, Wu Qiyi couldn’t help but sigh deeply, "What an insincere little fool..."
"Dong, dong dong, dong, dong dong..."
Under the pitch-black night sky, amidst the swirling fog, a battery-operated tricycle carrying goods slowly made its appearance.
On this old street, there weren’t many people walking at night, and the tricycle wobbled along.
As it passed a convenience store, a young man’s voice ca from inside, "Granny, give a bowl of dumplings."
The tricycle ca to a stop, and the old lady deftly served the young man a bowl of dumplings.
"Granny, you work so late every day, isn’t it exhausting? Doesn’t your family care?"
The old lady smiled gently, "Young man, aren’t you the sa? Are you going to pull an all-nighter at the store tonight?"
"I have no choice, it’s to make a living."
After the young man paid and returned to the convenience store, the old lady prepared to leave when a crisp, syrupy voice reached her ears from the side, "Elder sister, give a bowl of wontons, no fatty at, please."
At the sa ti she heard this voice, the old lady’s body involuntarily tensed, and her normally unflappable deanor showed a look of horror on her wrinkled face.
She hurriedly regained her composure and looked over to see a petite figure slowly erging from the darkness.
"Elder sister, I’m hungry, why are you not cooking for yet?"
A girl with a charm that made everyone want to squeeze her little cheeks, she seed to be only six or seven years old with her hair tied in two cute pigtails, wearing a striking black princess dress as if she had stepped out of an ani.
A sweet, doll-like little loli calling an elderly woman "elder sister" was sothing that was hard for people to accept.
The old lady looked at the little loli, frowning over and over again; she had not anticipated encountering her here!
Finally, unable to bear the gaze of what seed like innocent, pure eyes, the old lady managed to ask, "You... you’re actually in the Human World... what are you doing here?"
Blinking her adorable eyes, the girl spoke with a sweet smile, "Of course, I’m here to find daddy and mummy."
