【At the edge of the Heavenly River in the Heavenly Realm.】
【Pei Chuxia gazed into the distance, fragments of memories with Ye Yu flashing through her mind.】
【Tears streamed down uncontrollably.】
【She had fully come to understand ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ now.】
【The reason Ye Yu told her to cultivate diligently before coming to the Heavenly Realm】
【was perhaps to give her enough time to move on from their relationship.】
【She believed that in the long stretch of years, everything would fade.】
【But husband, even if it’s thousands or tens of thousands of years past,】
【how could I live alone without your presence in these six realms?】
【Eventually, Pei Chuxia dispersed all her cultivation and threw herself into the Heavenly River.】
—
Time passed unknowably.
Pei Chuxia slowly awoke.
Seeing everything around her familiar,
she felt dazed.
Hadn’t she already chosen to end her life in the Heavenly Realm?
How was she now back inside the tall tower of Zhutiang Workshop in Juque Province?
What was going on?
Was that just a dream?
Pei Chuxia slowly rose, suddenly noticing a Shadow Stone beside her.
In an instant,
it was like a thunderbolt struck her; her hands trembled as she cupped the Shadow Stone,
slowly infusing it with demon energy.
Soon, Ye Yu’s image appeared.
Once again, his narration began:
“When all ends, everything will begin again. At that time, we will meet once more.”
“But perhaps not in the Demon Realm, but the Heavenly Realm.”
Pei Chuxia burst into tears.
So death was the end.
Now was the new beginning.
Which meant, they would meet Ye Yu again now?
Thinking this,
Pei Chuxia’s heart surged with excitement.
She hurried to leave the tower and search for Ye Yu.
But before stepping out, she suddenly stopped.
She earnestly tidied her appearance.
Having not seen her husband for so long, she naturally had to prepare well, not appear disheveled or tear-streaked.
Once ready,
Pei Chuxia quickly left the tower and began to search for Ye Yu’s whereabouts within Zhutiang Workshop using her divine sense.
But she found no trace.
Could it be he hadn’t arrived yet?
Pei Chuxia was not discouraged.
If husband would not come, then she would find him.
She rushed at full speed to the Demon Hall in Juque Province.
There she met Ye Chenyang and Yue Xing’er.
“Father-in-law, mother-in-law, greetings. Do you know where Ye Yu is?”
Upon hearing this,
Ye Chenyang and Yue Xing’er wore very peculiar expressions.
The two stared blankly for a long time before finally coming to their senses.
“Uh, maybe you have the wrong person. Who is this Ye Yu you’re talking about? We don’t know him.”
Pei Chuxia’s face instantly turned pale.
She exclaimed, “Ye Yu is your son; I am your daughter-in-law!”
Ye Chenyang’s solemn face suddenly changed.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said, “You can eat anything, but words mustn’t be careless. We have no son. Are you sure you have the right people?”
No son?
Pei Chuxia staggered backward.
No, it was completely wrong.
Could it be Ye Yu had not been born yet?
That was impossible; by the timeline, Ye Yu should be eighteen now.
No, was that just a dream?
If it was a dream, then what about the Shadow Stone in her hand?
Pei Chuxia tried hard to recall everything, then quickly disappeared.
She needed to go somewhere—to find answers!
After Pei Chuxia left,
Ye Chenyang couldn’t help but laugh.
“Really strange, such a beautiful demon woman speaking nonsense at broad daylight. So funny, wanting my son back?”
“Hey, madam, why aren’t you laughing?”
Yue Xing’er’s face darkened.
“Do you think I should laugh? Isn’t it possible you have an illegitimate son outside named Ye Yu?”
“And he told this demon woman he was the son of Niepan Province’s demon curse Ye Chenyang.”
“Wouldn’t that explain things better?”
Ye Chenyang’s expression changed greatly.
That did seem reasonable.
It also explained why she was so anxious to leave.
Surely she sensed the deception and went to find trouble with Ye Yu.
But no!
It couldn’t be like this!
He swore on heaven and earth, he really did nothing!
Just as Ye Chenyang wanted to explain,
he suddenly felt pain in his ear.
“You shameless thing! You do have a mistress and won’t even explain!”
“Listen, if you don’t tell me everything today, we’re not done!”
“Madam, please spare me! I really did nothing!”
......
Meanwhile, Pei Chuxia had already reached the border of Niepan Province.
Following memories in her mind,
she found Li Yao, who had not yet fully fused with the Ancient Demonic Body.
At this moment, he was at his weakest.
Pei Chuxia decisively slew him.
And firmly confirmed in her heart—it was definitely more than a simple dream.
She analyzed carefully.
In this Demon Realm, except for Ye Yu’s disappearance,
everything else matched exactly what happened in the dream.
This perfectly confirmed the second sentence.
Perhaps not in the Demon Realm, but in the Heavenly Realm.
Right, everything matched.
At this moment, Ye Yu should be in the Heavenly Realm.
The reason he couldn’t be found in the dream
was because everything had not ended yet.
Now, since everything had ended,
everything would begin anew!
Pei Chuxia raised her head to the blood-red sky.
She had only one thought—ascend to the Heavens! Ascend to the Heavens!
—
Meanwhile,
inside the spirit vessel in the Heavenly Realm,
Zhuo Lanqing’s expression grew somber.
The words Ye Yu spoke about Qiao Shoushu and Mind Demon confused her completely.
But upon reflection,
she suddenly understood everything.
Perhaps Ye Yu was using this way to reject her.
Not a bad idea.
This was a good thing; let’s just say he was temporarily deranged.
It wouldn’t be too awkward when they met again.
Yet, she really felt sad.
Zhuo Lanqing slightly lowered her head, trying to hide her red, embarrassed eyes.
“You were serious just now?”
Ye Yu’s words caused Zhuo Lanqing’s previously uncontrollable emotions to erupt fully.
“Of course I was serious. I even changed my immortal robe and spent a long time fixing myself up.”
“But you still refused, and...”
Zhuo Lanqing could say no more, her voice choked.
The feeling of rejection was truly bitter.
Seeing this, Ye Yu quickly waved his hands.
“Don’t cry, what’s there to cry about? I didn’t say I refused!”
Hearing this,
Zhuo Lanqing’s flowing tears stopped immediately.
She asked trembling, “So you agree?”
Ye Yu hesitated to speak.
The next moment, Zhuo Lanqing threw herself into his arms.
“Oh, why do I even ask? You didn’t say no, so that means yes.”
“Since you said that, you can’t go back on it!”
Ye Yu didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
—
Two days later.
The spirit vessel finally arrived above the Tower of Nothingness.
Ye Yu stood alone at the bow, looking down at the tranquil immortal sect.
He couldn’t help but sigh softly.
