【In fact, when Pei Chuxia was sent away,】
【she already sensed something might go wrong.】
【Ye Yu had never before entrusted her with anything so seriously, nor had he ever shown her the Shadow Stone.】
【Such actions felt more like making arrangements for what might come after.】
【So on the way to Pei Chuxia, tears never stopped flowing.】
【Unexpectedly, she ended up witnessing a scene filled with unbearable pain.】
【Pei Chuxia trembled as she gently stroked Ye Yu’s face.】
【The cold touch left her at a loss.】
【Inside Ye Yu’s body, it was completely empty; his soul had long since vanished without a trace.】
【The death of her beloved caused Pei Chuxia unbearable agony.】
【At that moment, she sensed a faint movement.】
【Without hesitation,】
【Pei Chuxia’s figure flashed to a place of ruins.】
【There lay Qiao Shoushu, his flesh and blood already dissolved, resembling a skeleton.】
【He was now on the brink of death.】
【Within the time of a single tea break, he would surely die and his Dao vanish.】
【Seeing Pei Chuxia arrive, Qiao Shoushu struggled to lift his head.】
【But even such a simple action was beyond his ability.】
【He could only look up at the sky, quietly awaiting death.】
【Wearing the legendary Mind Demon, he dying in this place was truly unexpected.】
【Pei Chuxia directly cast a technique to extract Qiao Shoushu’s soul.】
【But only half was drawn out.】
【And it was shattered and fragile like glass about to break, unable to withstand any blow.】
【This left Pei Chuxia very puzzled.】
【She was about to ask what was going on,】
【but unexpectedly, Qiao Shoushu burst out laughing.】
【Freed from bodily constraints,】
【he felt more at ease in soul form.】
【“Hahaha! Girl, your demon mate is truly powerful.”】
【“You shattered my two demon lord puppets and even drove me to a dead end.”】
【“If I hadn’t sacrificed half my soul to summon the Mind Demon God, I probably couldn’t have killed them.”】
【“But even so,”】
【“The punch he threw before dying, with just his punch aura, not only shattered my broken body but severely damaged my shattered soul.”】
【“Truly terrifying!”】
【“To die by his hand is no injustice!”】
【“In fact, I think I benefited. To reach early Demon King Realm in only fourteen years is enough to be proud in the entire Demon Realm.”】
【“He’s really strong! Truly strong!”】
【After these words,】
【Qiao Shoushu’s soul completely shattered.】
【This so-called strongest Mind Demon in nearly two hundred thousand years had truly fallen.】
【Pei Chuxia opened her eyes wide in shock.】
【Mind Demon God?】
【Isn’t that an existence only in legends?】
【Qiao Shoushu actually summoned it?】
【Is this his true power?】
【But why?】
【Why exactly?】
【Everything had only just begun. She even wanted to have a demon child with Ye Yu.】
【She had already secretly embroidered the child’s tiger head doll shoes.】
【But now, all was shattered!】
【Pei Chuxia collapsed onto Ye Yu’s body, crying out in grief.】
【Time passed, stars shifted, day turned to night.】
【Half a month later.】
【Pei Chuxia finally awakened from immense sorrow.】
【Only then,】
【she remembered Ye Yu had left a Shadow Stone.】
【She quickly took it out and infused it with demon energy.】
【Soon, Ye Yu’s image appeared.】
【His warm, gentle voice rang out.】
【“Perhaps, by the time you see this Shadow Stone, I may no longer be here.”】
【“But I hope you live well.”】
【“Pursue that highest position—the Demon Emperor.”】
【“At worst, be a Demon /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Lord.”】
（Friendly reminder, to save you the search: Earth Demon, Heavenly Demon, Profound Demon, Demon King, Demon Lord, Demon Emperor, Demon Sovereign, Demon Emperor）
【“You have the strength for it.”】
【“Endure the loneliness, keep cultivating; we will meet in the next life.”】
【“Hmm, perhaps that’s not quite right.”】
【“Let me say it like this: when all ends, everything will begin again. Then we will meet again.”】
【“But perhaps not in the Demon Realm, maybe in the Heavenly Realm.”】
【“Maybe I will have become an immortal in the Heavenly Realm.”】
【“So you must cultivate well.”】
【“After becoming the strongest, find me again!”】
【After hearing these words,】
【Pei Chuxia’s once lifeless eyes regained vitality.】
【Having spent so long with Ye Yu,】
【Pei Chuxia knew well—】
【her husband was not one to speak carelessly or without purpose.】
【Since he said they would meet in the Heavenly Realm, then they surely would.】
【But what did he mean exactly?】
【“When all ends, everything will begin again.”】
【Pei Chuxia pondered deeply but could find no answer.】
【Finally, she decided to stop dwelling on it.】
【Instead, she would cultivate hard to reach Demon Sovereign Realm as soon as possible.】
【As for Demon Emperor Realm—that was completely a matter of fate.】
【Reaching that level had nothing to do with effort anymore.】
【Over a thousand years later.】
【Pei Chuxia really did reach Demon Sovereign Realm.】
【Upon reaching this realm, she did not hesitate, immediately began researching how to ascend from the Demon Realm to the Heavens.】
【Soon, she found a method.】
【The same route as Bai Xichu.】
【First become Demon Lord of a province, then enter the mortal world, and finally ascend from the mortal world to the Heavenly Realm.】
【It might sound troublesome,】
【but this was the known and most convenient path at present.】
【Having a plan, Pei Chuxia naturally acted quickly.】
【In just one month,】
【she completely took over Niepan Province, making the land bear the Pei name once more.】
【But she felt no attachment.】
【Instead, she broke the boundary to enter the mortal world, then ascended to the Heavenly Realm.】
【Upon truly arriving at this incredibly strange place,】
【Pei Chuxia’s smile could no longer be contained.】
（This is truly a tearjerker; writing this line really brought tears to my eyes.）
【Because she firmly believed her husband would not deceive her.】
【Ye Yu would definitely be waiting for her in the Heavenly Realm.】
【Thus, Pei Chuxia began a long life of searching.】
【To improve efficiency, she even established two immortal sects.】
【Mobilizing many immortals to search with her.】
【But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.】
【After searching the entire Heavenly Realm for the third time,】
【Pei Chuxia’s eyes lost all light.】
