"What?" Xiaoqian was about to thrust forward when she discovered that the [Moye] had slipped from her grasp.
"Is it because you don't want to be my enemy, Cousin Moye?" Tianxin smiled bitterly.
"No, she sensed Gan Jiang."
A familiar male voice struck Tianxin as if she had been struck by lightning, leaving her frozen in place.
"Saint Lord Qiye!" Xiaoqian looked in the direction the sword flew and the voice came from.
"Even the forces of good and evil cannot sever the connection between Gan Jiang and Mo Xie." A man suddenly appeared, shrouded in a hooded black robe, and said, looking with satisfaction at the two swords circling and chasing each other in mid-air.
"Moreover, the [Yi Xi] within me has been reforged, and there is no longer any aura that they would find repulsive."
If Yi Xi were still alive, he would definitely break down.
Even the swords forged by Mo Xie inherited his disdain for him.
The man in the black robe removed his hood, revealing himself to be Qiye.
"Xiaoqian, you did a great job. You've kept Tianxin in check."
"Sure enough, only the appearance of the real Moye could make her ignore Gan Jiang's movements."
Su Tianxin is the strongest in the true sense of the word in this world; she is only a hair's breadth away from becoming an immortal.
Humanity also specially sent down [Six Harmonies Crystal Essence] as her instrument for proving her path.
Unfortunately, she was too love-struck to take the final step because of Gan Jiang.
In the original timeline, he even followed Mo Xie's example and jumped into the furnace to commit suicide.
If Qi Ye didn't use his cheat code, he wouldn't be able to subdue and reclaim the city without harming Tianxin, as he hadn't yet retrieved Gan Jiang and the City of No Tears.
"You are the Saint Lord Qiye, and also Gan Jiang." Tianxin's eyes instantly reddened.
Throughout these countless years, she was accompanied only by the phantom of Gan Jiang, the sorrow he left behind, and the sword he forged.
She subconsciously avoids the appearance of her nemesis in every lifetime.
Because she knew she would be unable to control herself.
"Gan Jiang."
When she came to her senses, she was already standing in front of Qi Ye, one hand unconsciously touching his cheek.
"Don't want."
In an instant, she retreated far away, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"Don't want it? You're the one who's actively approaching me, Tianxin." Qiye appeared in front of Tianxin in an instant. "This city has gone through countless years and has become one with [Gan Jiang], even becoming a demon! Now, it's like an extension of my limbs, and you can't escape me."
Everything in this world can be transformed into a demon or monster.
The City of No Tears is a living Demons and Monsters.
"You know the truth about this city."
He looked at the woman in front of him with amusement. In this real world, she was completely different from the one in the TV series. Her fair skin and delicate bones, her loving and sacred demeanor combined with the indelible sorrow between her brows, were a charm that people in the 21st century, who were used to beauty filters and Photoshop, could hardly imagine.
This kind of beauty is enough to touch anyone's heart, transcending the boundaries of gender.
Its naturally emanating, captivating fragrance is unique and cannot be replicated by even the most skilled perfumer.
"This City of No Tears exists not only because of Gan Jiang's sorrow, but also because of my sorrow, my unrequited love, my fear of loving, my cowardice." Tianxin's voice trembled, a mixture of sorrow and joy. "In taking over this city, you have also taken over me forever."
"My resistance is futile."
"Yes." Qi Ye placed his large hand on Tianxin's slender neck and kissed her directly.
Xiaoqian, who was standing nearby, wanted to join in, or perhaps push her butt.
Amidst the plaintive murmurs, Qi Ye stood up, pointed a finger into the air, and said, "No, Mo Xie cannot be defiled yet."
Under the intervention of an unknown force, Xiaoqian reverted to the body of a fox demon, her Qing Leng and moon-like aura dissipated, and she transformed into someone who could bewitch all beings.
A shell dressed only in a white undershirt fell out of her body.
She hugged him tightly, looking up at Qi Ye with pleading and longing in her eyes.
"Xiaoqian is fine." Qi Ye nodded.
After setting down the body she was holding, the fox demon revealed a beautiful smile, and her clothes were skillfully removed as she moved forward.
"This is how you bypassed the curse? Using your demonic form?"
When Su Tianxin, it was already the next day.
At this moment, her face was filled with shame and anger, her toes, like pearls, were clenched, and her full, white calves trembled with the ups and downs of her complicated emotions.
She remembered every detail of that chaotic night Chu Chu.
"Wait, is this... Coiling Dragon Valley?"
She could sense the location of the City of No Tears as it moved through the void.
"You want--"
"Shh," Qi Ye pressed his index finger against Tianxin's lips, which seemed to embody all the beauty in the world, "I will not harm Zhuge Wuwei. His existence is a blessing for me and for the demonic path."
Regarding the Seven Lifetimes of Resentful Lovers and the Heavenly Demon Star, Su Tianxin not only created the [Profound Heart Marvelous Art], but she also guided the birth of the seven lifetimes of love.
A love story spanning seven lifetimes, as the name suggests, refers to a couple who love each other for seven consecutive lifetimes.
In contrast to the seven lifetimes of Seven Lifetimes of Resentful Lovers.
Resist evil with love and resolve resentment.
This was a stroke of genius. Even the Moon Demon, who had once possessed love, neglected the existence of the seven lifetimes of love because of the demon's disregard for love.
But in the seventh generation, Zhuge Wuwei chose to escape.
She transferred her fate to the son of a demon without a destiny, her half-brother Zhuge Liuyun.
Humans and demons cannot have offspring; Zhuge Liuyun's birth was already a miracle.
He survived thanks to the help of the Hundred Families Lamp and Su Tianxin, which his mother Blue Demon, obtained. It was a miracle within a miracle.
It is a forbidden life that should not exist in the first place.
But this only inherits fate.
The love that lies hidden deep within the soul through seven lifetimes cannot be inherited.
If it were a non-action, Yan Hongye fall in love with him smoothly. Daring to love, she would be able to successfully master the [Profound Heart Marvelous Art], uphold the love of seven lifetimes, and directly defeat the demon formed from the resentment of seven lifetimes.
To prevent the arrival of the Demon World.
Fortunately, Zhuge Wuwei retreated.
"He's good, just like his father, persisting where he shouldn't," Qi Ye exclaimed.
"I heard from Saint Lord Qiye that he is a very good person." Xiaoqian rubbed her small face against Li Lin's palm, her eyes narrowed into slits, looking foxy.
"If all humans were like him, that would be wonderful. We only want to corrupt the world with demons, not to exterminate humanity. That way, there would be no sacrifices."
"Blue Demon? You're going to attack Blue Demon?" Tianxin struggled to get up, but Qiye dragged her by the leg and pulled her closer, then pressed her down.
"She is a good mother and a loyal lover. But she is not a good sister or a good daughter." Qi Ye whispered in Tianxin's ear, "She is the beloved sister of the Demonic Jing Wuyuan, and the most beloved Blue Sister in Yin Yue's eyes. Even Liu Dao does not interfere with her unconventional words and deeds. She has won the love and respect of all the Demons and Monsters in the Demon Realm, like a princess surrounded by stars, high above all others."
"But what did she do?"
"Knowing that Zhuge Qingtian was a spy, she still became pregnant with his child because of so-called love, betraying her own race and the world."
"Concealing the news allowed the Demon Palace to fall into the ambush of the Xuan Xin Sect, and also caused Yin Yue to give birth prematurely, resulting in the deaths of her child and husband."
"And she's a demon."
"She was favored, but not because she was the most beautiful woman in the demon realm."
"In terms of beauty, Yin Yue's dignified and luxurious appearance can rival it."
There is a great difference between demons and monsters.
Even someone as powerful as the Black Mountain Old Demon can only be called a demon, not a monster.
Demons are a collective term for non-human, intelligent beings.
"Demon" is a title reserved for beings most favored by the demonic path.
It is an advancement of a demon that does not possess the immortality of the Heavenly Demon Clan, but has power equal to it.
The reason he could become a demon Yi Xi was due to the [Heavenly Demon Ore] and his own immense power.
The reason why Blue Demon was able to become a demon at birth is because she is not just a dragon demon. Her parents and brother are indeed dragons, but she is still a dream, an intangible dream.
The reason Heavenly Demon Clan is immortal is because they are all the embodiment of the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, or some other concept.
Rather than calling them demons, it would be more accurate to say they are gods whose Dao Nature is more Daoist than human.
The devil is merely a stigmatization of them.
The will of Heaven in this world is also leaning more towards the devil.
The demonic path is the heavenly path.
Humanity triumphed over evil; humanity triumphed over the way of Heaven.
"Even Yin Yue is just a demon," Qi Ye said. "Now, in the entire Yin Yue Dynasty, besides me, only Xiao Xue, the Xiao Xue demon who is the embodiment of the snow spirit, is closest to being a demon."
Tianxin listened to everything but did not refute it.
Under Nanaya's will, she lost control of her body.
Now, she is fully dressed and has come to Coiling Dragon Valley hand in hand with Qi Ye.
Seven Nights continued speaking.
"But this is only close."
"Blue Demon, as the embodiment of dreams, is fundamentally a demon, even more so than Moon Demon, a true demon."
"The Moon Demon was able to survive the Carnage of demons only because the moon is too far away from the human world."
"And Blue Demon, as long as dreams exist, she will exist."
"But she fell into the form of a dragon demon, completely losing her demonic nature. She passed it on to her son."
"Perhaps, it was because of this that the Moon Demon saw the extent to which a demon with love could fall, and thus willingly allowed himself to be killed by the Jing Wuyuan, in order to get rid of love and become a demon again."
"No, Blue Demon is right, she did it all for love." A man dressed as a scholar stepped forward.
"Zhuge Wuwei, in the name of love, can trample on everything?" Qi Ye asked, "Do you still remember your mother? Your birth mother."
"Zhuge Qingtian abandoned you and your mother for love and chose to commit suicide."
"With his abilities, he could clearly live in seclusion, taking your mother and you with him."
"Moreover, if you truly believe in love, why hide in Coiling Dragon Valley and betray your responsibilities, especially when your partner has practiced the [Profound Heart Marvelous Art] which is destined to kill you?"
"I am just Zhuge Wuwei," the scholar said. "What did you do to Sister Tianxin? Let her go!"
"I've let go," Qi Ye said. "She just doesn't know how to face you and Blue Demon."
He looked up at the winged blue fire dragon hovering anxiously in the air, looking in his direction.
Is it really not Swedish Short-Snout?
They look so alike.
"Wuwei," Tianxin said. "He is the holy ruler of the Yin Yue Dynasty, the strongest in all its history. He is also Gan Jiang."
"The strongest?" Wuwei looked at Qiye. "Since you are already the strongest, why don't you take control of your own destiny? Why do you still come to find Blue Demon?"
"Fate? In the script of fate, in the battle between humanity and the way of heaven, humanity wins," Qi Ye said. "This is the fate of the master."
"I already have a sword that can overcome this calamity."
"But... as a mere demon, I still need a piece of the puzzle."
"That puzzle piece is Blue Demon?" Wuwei reacted instantly. "According to you, she has even lost her demonic nature and is just a dragon demon."
"How could her most valuable Core Elixir have any effect on you, the strongest one?"
"No." Qi Ye shook his head. He opened his hand, and the fire dragon in the sky seemed to be bound by an invisible force. As its body shrank, Accio towards his palm.
Ultimately, it fell into Qiye's palm, where he could play with it as he pleased.
"Very good, just as I thought, Zhuge Liuyun is only a half-demon. He did not fully inherit the demonic nature of dreams."
"The Blue Demon's Core Elixir still retains the corresponding root nature."
He looked up at Wuwei, whom he had just silenced with a thought, and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill her. I will let her live and obtain the demonic nature of the Blue Demon in a more appropriate and gentler way."
Inside the Demon Palace.
Empress Dowager Yin Yue's palace was bustling with activity at this time.
A beautiful female body was moving up and down on the man's body.
Bathed in the moonlight inside the room, the woman raised her head.
This face does not belong to Yin Yue, Yue Mo, or even Tianxin, Xiaoqian, or Xiao Xue.
Her blue, flame-like eyebrows and eyes, her delicate and refined features, and her face, imbued with both childlike innocence and intense maternal love, already revealed her identity.
"Very good, Blue Demon, you must keep up the good work and continue to serve my son well, so that we will spare the life of that half-human, half-demon bastard."
Empress Dowager Yin Yue's face showed a hint of pleasure.
Blue Demon's betrayal of the true culprit Zhuge Qingtian, was driving her to the brink of ecstasy.
Qi Ye simply lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
Immersed in a deep dream.
"Here we go again." Yan Hongye awoke from her beautiful dream.
This is the tenth time I've dreamed of that man.
Was this a dream?
Or reality?
Her magic, which she was so proud of, even the [Profound Heart Marvelous Art], which the current sect leader of the Xuan Xin Sect, Jin Guang, had to obediently bow his head to, had no effect on this dream.
This isn't even the worst of it.
She actually longed for this dream, and for the man in it.
This was worse than meeting her father, who had given her a tragic fate, at the Xuan Xin Sect; worse than dealing with her father and mother's quarrels; worse than dealing with that useless Zhuge Liuyun, who supposedly had a marriage agreement with her.
In particular, her life, which had already entered its countdown with the [Profound Heart Marvelous Art], also began to rotate counterclockwise with the beginning and end of the dream.
Whether from a psychological or physiological perspective, she had no reason to reject that bizarre dream.
She could only fill her time with official duties.
"Has the Three Realms Saintesses already foreseen the movements of the people in the Demon Palace?"
In the Heavenly Pool of the Xuan Xin Sect's Dao Realm, three girls sitting on jade lotus platforms, surrounded by holy light, opened their eyes upon hearing this.
"Guardian, we still haven't found anything."
The three replied respectfully.
Those who practice the [Profound Heart Marvelous Art] have a higher status than Jin Guang, the sect leader.
This is why Yan Chixia's rambling words and his status as a traitor were able to be accepted back into the Xuan Xin Sect.
