The Evil God's heart sank. Nangong Guyue had a special constitution, which made her somewhat troublesome to deal with.
"Hahaha!"
Nangong Guyue grinned savagely. "You beast, didn't see that coming, did you?"
"Hmph!"
The Evil God snorted coldly. Ignoring Nangong Guyue, he continued trying to seize her body.
Nangong Guyue wasn't afraid in the slightest and fought back with all her might.
Time flew like a shuttle, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
In that year, the Star Holy Land rose to become the undisputed strongest force in the lower realm! And all of it was thanks to the ring Chu Yun had sent.
On this day, Su Chen brought Ye Lingxi to the Star Hall, with the Demon Venerable following behind them.
Xia Meng was somewhat surprised to see Su Chen. "Peak Master Su, is something the matter?"
Su Chen nodded. "I've come to bid farewell to Holy Lord Meng."
Xia Meng was taken aback. "Are you leaving?"
"Mm," Su Chen replied.
Xia Meng fell silent, her eyes showing complicated emotions. She hadn't expected Su Chen to leave so soon.
Su Chen handed the Peak Master Token to Xia Meng. "I'm leaving."
With that, he took Ye Lingxi's hand and turned to leave.
He was decisive, without a trace of hesitation.
Xia Meng stared blankly at Su Chen's departing back. Even after he had disappeared from sight, she still didn't look away.
"He really is decisive."
Just then, a voice filled with complicated emotions came from the shadows, and a figure stepped out.
Murong Xue!
Murong Xue came to Xia Meng's side and said with complicated emotions, "He... ultimately belongs to a different world from us."
Xia Meng remained silent.
Seeing this, Murong Xue sighed and said nothing more.
At that moment, both women's hearts were filled with endless thoughts, like a gentle breeze brushing through their hearts and leaving deep traces behind.
Every meeting and every backward glance was fate. When you fell in love with someone's back or longed for a certain look in their eyes, it meant your heart had become bound to a romance. But whether those bonds ran deep or shallow, no one could control.
Immortal Realm
Su Chen and his two companions arrived at an inn.
Looking at the delicious food on the table, Ye Lingxi drooled all over the floor.
Su Chen smiled. "Eat."
Ye Lingxi nodded, then buried her head in her meal.
Su Chen glanced at the Demon Venerable, who was standing nearby. "Sit down and eat too."
The Demon Venerable bowed respectfully, then sat down, picked up a piece of meat, and began eating.
In truth, he hadn't eaten much before. After all, at his realm, he could go his entire life without food.
But after spending two years at Su Chen's side, he had learned to enjoy life.
If a person devoted their entire life to pursuing the Dao, how lonely and dull it would be. When there was nothing to do, one should enjoy life, let oneself relax and find peace, and release the pressure and weariness in one's heart. Such people were often less likely to become indifferent and repressed.
Su Chen poured himself a cup of wine and gazed at the night scenery outside the second floor, his thoughts unknown.
The Demon Venerable put down his chopsticks and suddenly asked, "Young Master, what kind of force is the Su Clan, exactly?"
Su Chen looked at him and blinked. "It's just a small force."
Demon Venerable: "..."
Do you think I believe you?
The Demon Venerable was speechless, but he didn't dare say anything. He silently lowered his head and continued eating.
Half an hour later, only the empty plates remained on the table.
Ye Lingxi burped, patted her belly, and looked thoroughly satisfied.
Su Chen looked at Ye Lingxi and smiled. "You'll be meeting your parents soon. Are you nervous?"
"Parents?"
Ye Lingxi blinked, looking puzzled.
Su Chen smiled faintly. "Am I your brother?"
Ye Lingxi nodded obediently.
Su Chen continued, "Then what are your brother's parents to you?"
Ye Lingxi blinked and grinned. "My parents."
Su Chen smiled. "Then are you nervous about meeting them?"
Ye Lingxi bit her finger. "Now that you put it that way, Brother, I really am pretty nervous."
Su Chen laughed and reached out to pinch Ye Lingxi's cheek. "Don't be nervous. Your parents are very gentle."
Ye Lingxi grinned. "Mm-hmm."
Three days later, Su Chen brought Ye Lingxi and the Demon Venerable to a plain.
The last rays of the setting sun fell upon the plain, dyeing the once-green grassland a deep crimson, and the air was filled with a fresh, natural scent.
The Demon Venerable looked puzzled. He didn't understand why Su Chen had brought them here, but he didn't ask, because he knew Su Chen couldn't have brought them here for no reason.
Just then, Su Chen extended a finger and tapped the space before him.
The next moment, space suddenly shattered, and a vast force rushed out from within.
The Demon Venerable's eyes widened. He sensed danger in that force!
"How dare you! Who dares trespass upon my Su Clan!"
Just then, wave after wave of terrifying presence came from the shattered spatial rift, and several figures flew out!
Clad in black armor, they looked imposing, long spears in their hands. Their terrifying presence filled the world around them!
The Demon Venerable looked at them gravely. Their presence was only slightly weaker than his!
And what was more, they looked like they were only guards at the gate!
He glanced at Su Chen and saw how calm he was. The Demon Venerable breathed a sigh of relief, even as curiosity began to stir in his heart.
These are the people of the Su Clan?
Terrifying indeed!
Remembering how Su Chen had said his family was only a small force, he couldn't help his lips from twitching.
It was worth mentioning that Ye Lingxi was perfectly calm.
With her brother here, she wasn't afraid at all!
One of the men in black armor looked at Su Chen and the others. "Who are you? How do you know about my Su Clan?"
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "What's this? I haven't been back for a few years, and it seems you've forgotten me?"
The black-armored man frowned. The next moment, his pupils contracted sharply. "Are you the Young Master?" he asked, uncertain.
Young Master?
Holy shit!
The Demon Venerable glanced at Su Chen, shocked. He hadn't expected Su Chen to be the Young Master of the Su Clan!
Su Chen said nothing, silently watching the black-armored man.
The black-armored man called out respectfully, "Young Master, this subordinate didn't know your identity before. Please forgive me."
Su Chen nodded, still saying nothing. Instead, he took Ye Lingxi's hand and slowly walked into the shattered space. The Demon Venerable hurried after them.
The black-armored men didn't stop them. After all, Su Chen had brought them, so naturally they didn't dare.
After the three entered the shattered space, it was as though they had arrived in another world.
Mountain peaks stretched endlessly, ten thousand rays of golden light shone, and a thousand streams of auspicious Qi rose. All manner of rare treasures and exotic beasts could be found here, the dense Immortal Qi had almost condensed into liquid, and countless exquisite, majestic pavilions and grand halls displayed boundless splendor.
"This is actually a small world of its own!"
The Demon Venerable spoke with disbelief written all over his face.
At this moment, stormy waves surged through his heart!
He couldn't even imagine what kind of person could create a small world of their own!
Terrifying!
Su Chen glanced at the black-armored man who had followed them and said calmly, "Don't tell anyone I've returned. Understand?"
As soon as he spoke, the black-armored man's hair stood on end, and a chill swept over him. He looked at Su Chen in disbelief. "Y-Young Master, you..."
Su Chen stared at the black-armored man without speaking.
Seeing this, the black-armored man hurriedly nodded. "This subordinate understands!"
