Jianchen hugged You Yue gently as he sniffed the faint fragrance coming from You Yue. He said softly, "Yue 'er, it's been hard on you these past few years. I've made you wait for me for so long. Do you blame me?"
You Yue raised her head and looked at Jianchen affectionately with her limpid eyes. Her gaze was filled with gentleness as she said softly, "Jianchen, I've never blamed you, because I know that you've been through a lot these past few years. Or rather, ever since you left Kargath Academy, you've been through a lot. For you to have your current achievements, you must have sacrificed a lot these past few years, even almost sacrificing your own life. As your fiancée, I can only watch as you work hard outside without being able to help you at all. What do I have to complain about?"
"Jianchen, do you know? Actually, in Yue 'er's heart, I've always been proud to be your wife, even though I'm still your fiancée. You're extremely outstanding, extremely powerful.
You possess an unprecedented cultivation talent. Who knows how many peerless beauties have fallen for you in this world. Yue 'er is very glad that Imperial Father arranged this marriage for the two of us. "
You Yue looked at Jianchen in a daze. Not only was her voice pleasant, it was also extremely gentle. Afterwards, she stood on the Ziying Sword and gently turned around. She hugged Jianchen tightly with her arms, pressing her entire body into Jianchen's embrace. She said, "Jianchen, you once promised Yue 'er that you would marry Yue' er. Do you still remember? Have you ever forgotten? "
"Of course I remember. How could I forget something like that? Only, Yue 'er, apart from you, I, Jianchen, have other women." Jianchen said softly. He seemed to have thought of something as a complicated expression appeared on his face.
You Yue smiled faintly and said, "Jianchen, your father has four wives. Do you know how many consorts my father has?"
Jianchen shook his head. Although he was a citizen of the Kingdom of Gesun and was also the Imperial Protector of the Kingdom of Gesun, he knew nothing about the Kingdom of Gesun's imperial family. He did not even know how many princesses and princes the king of the Kingdom of Gesun had.
You Yue laughed when she saw the blank expression on Jianchen's face. She said coquettishly, "You are the Imperial Protector, but you don't even know this. Let me tell you. My father has 28 consorts in total. My mother is only one of them." You Yue's expression darkened when she mentioned her mother. Her mother had passed away when she was just born. If it were not for the portrait, You Yue probably would not even know what her mother looked like.
"Which of those powerful men doesn't have multiple wives? Your father is like that, and so is my father. You, on the other hand, are more outstanding than your father and my father. Who knows how many women in the world have fallen in love with you. Yue 'er has long understood that you are not someone that any woman can monopolize. Therefore, Yue' er does not care how many women you have." You Yue continued speaking in a very gentle and considerate tone.
"What if I tell you that I already have a child?" Jianchen said with some guilt.
Even his parents did not know about Shangguan Aojian. The first person he told was You Yue.
You Yue gently trembled. She stared at Jianchen in some surprise. After a moment of silence, she said with a trembling voice, "Jianchen, is that true?"
"It's true. I haven't seen him in over a decade now. He should have grown up by now," Jian Chen sighed softly. He could not help but think of Shangguan Aojian on Three Saint Island. He also felt rather guilty because he knew that he was not a good father. He had spent very little time with Shangguan Aojian in the past few years. He could even count the number of times he had spent with Shangguan Aojian.
"Once this is over, I'll go to Three Saint Island and stay there until the day the World of Forsaken Saints invades," Jian Chen thought. However, before that, he had to pay a visit to the Huang family because Huang Luan was there.
"Although I don't know who that person is, I believe that she's no ordinary woman. Jianchen, if there's an opportunity in the future, can you take me to see your child?" You Yue asked. Her gentle voice was very calm and composed, but Jianchen could still sense the faint disappointment in You Yue's voice.
Jianchen nodded. The two of them remained silent for the rest of the journey. Even though Longevity Valley was a million kilometers away from Flame City, they crossed the distance very quickly with the speed of the Ziying sword.
Longevity Valley was located at the edge of the Cross Mountain Range. Jianchen stopped at the entrance of the valley on the Ziying sword before walking in with You Yue.
Many years had passed, but Longevity Valley remained the same as before. It did not seem to have changed at all. Even when weeds grew, they would be cut down by the villagers as soon as possible. In the past, the atmosphere in Longevity Valley was peaceful and peaceful, giving people the feeling that it was a paradise. However, the valley was covered in white cloth today. Basically every household hung a snow-white cloth in front of their house according to the local customs. There was also a white flower that gave off a faint, bitter smell. The entire valley was filled with sorrow.
Jian Chen and You Yue entered the village of Longevity Valley. They found the sorrowful Little Fatty in mourning clothes in the centre of the village. He knelt before a coffin as he remained motionless like a statue. Beside him, his mother sat on the ground with swollen eyes. Her face was filled with deep sorrow. She seemed to have lost her soul, as if she had already lost it.
Jianchen stared at the coffin with some sorrow.
His mood became even heavier after entering Longevity Valley. He knew that the person lying in the coffin was uncle Xiu Mi, who had once saved his life. Xiu Mi was born with an incomplete soul, which was why he could not break through to Saint Ruler. He only had a lifespan of a thousand years. Now, uncle Xiu Mi had reached the end of his lifespan. He had died from exhaustion. Even ten-thousand-year-old, hundred-thousand-year-old, or million-year-old heavenly resources could not change his fate.
These hundred-thousand-year-old and million-year-old heavenly resources could change a person completely. They could turn a cripple who could not cultivate Saint Force into a prodigy in a short amount of time. They could even bring the dead back to life. As long as the person still had a single breath left in them, they could be revived in the shortest amount of time. However, no matter how heaven-defying these heavenly resources were, they could not give a person another soul.
Even Jianchen had not come across heavenly resources that could give a person another soul in the Xuanhuang Microcosm.
Quite a few villagers in the surroundings recognized Jianchen. They all nodded and greeted Jianchen. On the day of uncle Xiu Mi's death, all the villagers in Longevity Valley felt very sad. No one was willing to say too much, only expressing their greetings with their gazes or nods.
Jianchen passed through the crowd and directly arrived before uncle Xiu Mi's coffin. He stared at the coffin silently for quite a while before bowing deeply.
Jianchen's heart was filled with indescribable bitterness. He was a Class 9 Radiant Saint Master. Not only could he revive Saint Weapons, but he could also bring people back to life. As long as the soul was not destroyed and the soul did not disperse, Jianchen could even revive the dead Holy Emperor. However, there was nothing Jianchen could do about uncle Xiu Mi's death.
