"My wife?"
Looking at Ye Yaoyue's pale face, Li Youyun was stunned. However, before he could ask what happened, the door of the thatched cottage was locked by Ye Yaoyue.
In the outside world.
Kong Xuan stood with his hands behind his back. There was no terrifying aura around him. Instead, he looked toward the thatched cottage with a disappointed expression.
"Brother Kong Xuan."
Ye Yaoyue's face was pale and bloodless. Her eyes were filled with sadness and despair. She knew that she was doomed when she saw Kong Xuan arrive.
Kong Xuan was a figure at the peak of the Sage-to-be. Even though she had many magic treasures in her hands, she could only surrender in the face of Mahamayuri. She had no power to resist.
"Yaoyue, you are so muddle-headed. You have committed a grave mistake by privately marrying a mortal. How can you face Ye Tiandi and the entire Celestial Court?" Kong Xuan said resentfully.
"Brother Kong Xuan, I …?" Ye Yaoyue stuttered. She did not know what to say.
"Let's go. Return to the Celestial Court with me. I will send people to take care of your children and this mortal secretly. This is the only thing I can do." Kong Xuan said coldly.
"Brother … Brother Kong Xuan … I am sorry … I really can't go with you." Ye Yaoyue clenched her teeth and rejected Kong Xuan's request.
"Yaoyue, do you want to force me to fight?" Kong Xuan was furious. The Five-colored Divine Light faintly overflowed. Even the sky and earth changed color.
"Brother Kong Xuan, I know I am no match for you. However, if you want me to abandon my husband and children, forgive Yaoyue for not being able to comply. Even if I die in your hands today, Yaoyue will have no regrets."
Clang clang clang!
A Autumn Water Celestial Sword appeared in Ye Yaoyue's hand. She pointed the sword at Kong Xuan with an expression that said she would rather die than submit. This made Kong Xuan's face turn gloomy. His eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Yaoyue, then don't blame me for not remembering our old relationship. I have no choice but to capture you back to the Celestial Court."
Kong Xuan suddenly attacked. The Five-colored Divine Light rippled out. Ye Yaoyue took out her Celestial Sword and turned it into a sky full of sword radiance that slashed toward Kong Xuan.
Clang clang clang.
Kong Xuan was so terrifying that he was no match for Ye Yaoyue. the sword radiance in the sky was shattered... a ray of the Five-colored Divine Light bombarded Ye Yaoyue's chest. a ray's and's, Ye,, fell.
"Wife!"
"Mother!"
Suddenly, the door of the straw hut was slammed open. Li Youyun was glaring at Kong Xuan furiously. He even stumbled over to Ye Yaoyue and hugged her. Their son and daughter were crying and shaking Ye Yaoyue's arms, calling for their mother.
"Who are you? Why did you hurt my wife?" Li Youyun was extremely angry. His face was flushed red as he scolded Kong Xuan.
"Hubby … don't … don't … he … he's my Big Brother …" Ye Yaoyue's face was pale. She grabbed Li Youyun's hand tightly and said weakly.
"What?"
"He … he's your Big Brother."
Hearing the words of his wife in his arms, Li Youyun was completely stunned. He had never heard Ye Yaoyue mention her Big Brother before. Why was there an additional Big Brother now?
"Why … why did he hurt you?" Li Youyun asked in a daze.
"Hmph."
"You're just a mere mortal. What right do you have to marry Yaoyue?"
Kong Xuan looked at Li Youyun with murderous eyes. He had already decided to kill this mortal. Perhaps this was the only way to make Ye Yaoyue give up.
"Big Brother Kong Xuan, don't!"
Ye Yaoyue quickly shielded Li Youyun behind her. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as she begged Kong Xuan with a sorrowful expression. This made Kong Xuan's expression change. The murderous intent that had just risen in his heart disappeared without a trace. An extremely helpless look flashed across his eyes.
"Don't you dare bully Father and Mother." The two children cried out and glared at Kong Xuan angrily.
This scene made Kong Xuan's expression change. He said, "Yaoyue, come back with me. You know you can't resist me."
"Big Brother Kong Xuan, do you really want me to kill myself in front of you?"
Suddenly, Ye Yaoyue picked up the Autumn Water Immortal Sword and placed it directly between her eyebrows. Clearly, this sword would destroy her soul and scatter her soul.
"Yaoyue, are you crazy? You're actually threatening me with death for a mortal?"
This scene made Kong Xuan's expression change drastically. He loudly rebuked Ye Yaoyue. He didn't expect Ye Yaoyue to do such a foolish thing.
"Big Brother Kong Xuan, I beg you. I will definitely not go back with you. Please grant Yaoyue my wish. If Big Brother really wants to force me to leave my husband and children, then I can only die in front of you." Ye Yaoyue's voice trembled slightly. Her eyes were filled with the will to die.
"You … you …?"
Kong Xuan trembled and was speechless. His body and mind were trembling. How could he bear to watch Ye Yaoyue die in front of him?
"Good, good, good."
Kong Xuan said three times. Then, he looked angrily at Li Youyun and said, "You lowly mortal, you've caused my little sister to suffer so much. Although I won't kill you today, and I won't take her away, you should know that you're not worthy of Yaoyue. I hope you can take care of yourself."
Kong Xuan suddenly turned and left. He couldn't force Ye Yaoyue to her death. He absolutely couldn't allow such a tragedy to happen.
"Stop right there."
Suddenly, before Kong Xuan could take a few steps, Li Youyun calmly spoke and walked toward Kong Xuan. This made Kong Xuan look coldly at this mortal.
"I, Li Youyun, don't care who you are. But I want to tell you that I'm Yaoyue's husband, the child's father, and an indomitable man. If you want to hurt Yaoyue in the future, you'll have to step over my dead body," Li Youyun angrily rebuked.
"With just you?"
Kong Xuan sneered and said, "You talk big, but unfortunately, you're just a mortal. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't even have to lift a finger. If it weren't for Yaoyue, you'd have died thousands of times already."
"Remember, if you want to become Yaoyue's husband, you have to have the strength and status to match her. Otherwise, empty talk will only make you a laughingstock." Kong Xuan flung his sleeves and strode away.
"I'll remember what you said. I'll definitely pass the exam and become a man above all others," Li Youyun roared at Kong Xuan. But to Kong Xuan, it was an extremely laughable thing.
"Husband, come back."
Ye Yaoyue whispered miserably. She knew she'd avoided a disaster today, but what would she do in the future? Although the Three Realms were vast, how could she avoid the pursuit of the Celestial Court?
… …
The 33rd layer of the Celestial Court, the Celestial Emperor Palace.
The immortals were speechless. The Yao Kings were silent. Ziwei Tian Di sat on the emperor's throne, his brows tightly knitted together. Below him was Kong Xuan, who had returned to the Celestial Court.
"After all, I watched Yaoyue grow up. I can't bear to see her die in front of me." Kong Xuan was slightly ashamed. He'd originally said that he'd bring Ye Yaoyue back, but in the end, he'd failed.
Ziwei Tian Di sighed and comforted him, "There's no need to worry, Wise King. If it were me, I'd do the same."
In an instant, the atmosphere in the Celestial Emperor Palace became somewhat stifling. Even Kong Xuan had returned without success. Who else could bring Ye Yaoyue back to the Celestial Court?
