That humanoid creature had awakened!
In an instant, the wisps of aura that seeped out transformed into terrifying Dao patterns of order that swept across the area.
Jun Wu Xie was horrified, and his pupils shrank into two dots.
At this moment, not to mention moving, even his soul had been imprisoned, and his thoughts had stopped.
"Emperor-level aura …"
Ji Inran was not immobilized like Jun Wu Xie and Ling Qingyu.
Her expression changed instantly, and her body seemed to have teleported in front of Jun Wu Xie.
Her entire body was glowing, and immortal light shone in all directions. Her previous life's Dao Fruit bloomed, and under the pressure of this aura, she was forced to awaken.
Almost at the same time, a figure in snow-white clothes suddenly appeared in front of them, and her cloud-like sleeves fluttered gently.
A wisp of order ripple spread out and rushed forward.
The terrifying murderous aura emitted by the sealed person was silently annihilated in the void.
"Seal! Heaven! Absolute! Earth! "
The figure in snow-white clothes formed a seal with both hands, and dazzling immortal light bloomed. A huge seal diagram condensed, flew into the sky, and pressed down. The immortal light of order poured down like a waterfall, enveloping the entire corroded area.
In an instant, the terrifying aura of destruction disappeared.
Jun Wu Xie suddenly woke up, and like a person who had been holding his breath for a long time, his body swayed, his chest rose and fell violently, and his throat made a fierce gasping sound.
He spat a few times before returning to normal, and his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
Beside him, Ling Qingyu was the same, and her whole body went limp on the ground.
Jun Wu Xie's heart was still fluttering with fear. She took two steps forward and held Ji Yinlan's hand. Looking at the woman in white whose back was facing them, she called out Ye Qingxue.
The woman in snow-white clothes slowly turned around. She wore a bronze mask on her face, revealing only her deep eyes that seemed to contain the Star of the Heavens. Who else could it be but Ye Qingxue?
She looked at Jun Wu Xie calmly, her gaze falling on his and Ji Inran's tightly interlocked hands. Without any warning, she suddenly took off the mask on her face and threw it directly at Jun Wu Xie.
He was caught off guard and was hit in the face by the mask, leaving a few red marks.
Without her mask, Ye Qingxue's face was shrouded in the mist of the Great Dao. Only her eyes were exposed.
Jun Wu Xie was completely stunned. He did not know why she suddenly lost her temper.
In his impression, no matter when, even when he asked her to return the mask and made her so angry, she had never laid a hand on him.
Now, she actually threw a mask at him!
This kind of action was really not in line with her identity …
"What happened to you?"
Jun Wu Xie could not wrap his head around it. He really did not know what he had done to offend her to make her so angry.
However, she still maintained enough rationality to perfectly control her power. Otherwise, even the universe would have been smashed through, let alone him.
Ji Inran looked at Ye Qingxue and then looked at Jun Wu Xie, who was interlocked with her hands. She suddenly understood something and hurriedly separated her hands from his before pushing him toward Ye Qingxue.
Jun Wu Xie came to his senses and bent down to pick up the bronze mask. He carefully wiped away the layer of dust on it and walked over to Ye Qingxue.
He handed the mask to Ye Qingxue and said, "I heard from Auntie You that you left during this period of time. I'm relieved to see you back. Did everything go well?"
Ye Qingxue did not say anything. She only looked at him.
Her eyes were deep and boundless, and there was an endless Star twinkling in them. It was impossible to see what she was thinking through her eyes.
"We haven't seen each other in a long time. Do you have to be like this?"
Jun Wu Xie sighed. Nannan was so obedient in the past. There was no way she would treat him like this.
The little girl had really grown up. She had become stronger, and her temper had also grown.
Ye Qingxue waved a hand, and a burst of light flashed past, forming a barrier that enshrouded Ji Inran and Ling Qingyu. They were unable to see or hear anything from the outside world.
At this moment, the mist of the Great Dao around her face dissipated, revealing her features that made even the sun and moon pale in comparison.
"I shouldn't have bothered with you. I should have just let you die."
Her tone was very calm, but her words did not sound like that.
"Wait, what did I do to offend you?"
Jun Wu Xie was speechless. Her temper was a little strange.
"You didn't offend me. I offended myself."
Jun Wu Xie: "…"
He shook his head and put the bronze mask on his face, revealing only his eyes.
He looked at Ye Qingxue and suddenly called out to her.
Ye Qingxue's delicate body trembled slightly.
The face in front of her overlapped with the face in her memory.
Her red lips trembled and her sparkling eyes gradually took on the scenery of the mortal world. Her eyes even became a little moist.
"You …"
She reached out to touch the mask on Jun Wu Xie's face. Her hand trembled slightly, but just as she was about to touch it, she stopped.
"Don't think that I'm still the little girl in your memory. I'm not!"
She suddenly retracted her hand, then reached out to Jun Wu Xie and said, "Give me back my mask!"
Jun Wu Xie took off his mask, but he did not put it in her hand. Instead, he grabbed her hand.
"Let go!"
Ye Qingxue's delicate body trembled slightly, and she said coldly.
"Let's take a walk."
Jun Wu Xie ignored her and said to himself. He glanced at the corrosive area that she had sealed off, and regardless of whether she was willing or not, he pulled her toward the strange river.
Ye Qingxue did not struggle. She just let him pull her with a cold expression.
The two of them soon came to the dark green river and strolled along the river bank.
For a long time, they both kept silent.
In the end, it was Jun Wu Xie who broke the silence and sighed. "Are you still blaming me?"
"I'm not. I'm not worthy."
Ye Qingxue said faintly. No matter how one listened to her words, it sounded like she was acting out of spite.
At this moment, she no longer seemed to be the high and mighty Celestial Emperor who was untainted by the mortal world, but an ordinary woman with worldly emotions.
Jun Wu Xie said with a bitter smile, "Back then …"
"It has nothing to do with what happened back then." Ye Qingxue interrupted him and said, "I'm just very angry with you now!"
Jun Wu Xie was stunned. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
He could not help but smile and said, "I understand."
"What do you understand?"
"I just understand, but I won't say it. Otherwise, how can you, an Emperor-level expert, still have any face?"
Ye Qingxue was silent for a moment. Then, she stopped and turned to stare at him. "Do you think I'm ridiculous?"
"Why do you say that?"
"How can there be a Celestial Emperor in this world who can't even control his own emotions?"
"Because you are Nannan, so in front of me, you are destined to be unable to control your emotions. This is not ridiculous. A Celestial Emperor is also an expert who cultivated from a human. He has the seven emotions and six desires of a human. Happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, it's normal. Could it be that a Celestial Emperor expert should be restrained at all times? It's just that when one reaches that realm, what one thinks and what one pursues is different. But if there is always obsession in one's heart, then it's another matter … "
Ye Qingxue was silent and did not speak.
Then, she silently used her slender and warm fingers to open Jun Wu Xie's fingers. She passed through the gaps between his fingers and interlocked her fingers with his.
"Do you know, I have never forgotten this feeling. Even if that memory was sealed by Father, when I remember it, it is still so familiar, as if it was yesterday …"
Jun Wu Xie's heart trembled slightly. He said, "When I have time in the future, I will go to the Space Suppression Pagoda to accompany you."
Ye Qingxue did not respond to his words. She muttered to herself faintly, "To you, it's just a short 20 years, but to me, it's an entire 160 million years …"
Jun Wu Xie did not reply. He just silently interlocked his fingers with hers and strolled along the riverbank.
His heart was very uncomfortable and filled with guilt.
Although he knew that even if he did not carry out that battle back then, he still could not keep Nannan.
But she suffered for such a long time. That was such a lonely and lonely time.
160 million years, to him, was an unimaginably long time …
Looking back on these 20 years, it felt like a lifetime had passed. 160 million years, what kind of concept was that?
As he walked, he felt that the hand in his hand was rapidly becoming smaller.
He could not help but be stunned. Turning his head to look, Ye Qingxue was no longer there.
The one he was holding was a little girl. She looked to be four or five years old. Her hair was tied up in pigtails and her face was dirty. She was wearing tattered clothes and small shoes with toe holes.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the past, those beautiful years.
"Nannan …"
His voice could not stop choking, his eyes wet.
"Big brother."
The little girl raised her head. Her large eyes were bright and pure.
He took off his sword robe and wrapped it around her body. Then he hugged her and stared at her in a daze.
"Big brother, Nannan missed you so much. I missed you so much."
Little Nannan's eyes were filled with tears. Her small arms hugged his neck and she pressed her face against his, intimately rubbing against him.
Tears flowed from her eyes, wetting her face and his face.
"Big brother knows that big brother will never leave Nannan again. Never. But Nannan, don't always be angry with big brother, okay?"
"En."
She smiled through her tears and kissed him on the cheek.
Jun Wu Xie smiled and scratched her little nose, saying, "Nannan will grow up in the end. In the future, you will grow up to be a big girl. But no matter what Nannan becomes, in big brother's heart, you will always be the little girl that makes my heart ache."
He knew that Ye Qingxue's obsession with the past was too deep. That was why she turned into her childhood appearance.
But she did not want to be trapped in the past. That was not a good thing for an Emperor level expert's state of mind.
"Big brother has protected Nannan for so many years, so when Nannan grows up, I have to protect big brother. Only when Nannan grows up can I protect you …"
There was a deep reluctance in Nannan's eyes, but her body was gradually changing. Soon, she turned back into Ye Qingxue's appearance.
Because when she turned into Nannan, she was in Jun Wu Xie's arms. At this moment, she was still in his arms, being hugged by him.
"Open up the knot in your heart. Don't separate the past from the present. That is your life. It should be complete. Whether you are the weak little girl from back then or the Celestial Emperor level expert now, in my heart, there has never been the slightest change. You are you. You are the person who used to be with me day and night. You are also one of the most important people in my life. "
Jun Wu Xie counseled her. He was just a Holy Sect. Even if he added his previous life, he was just a God level cultivator. Yet, he counseled a Celestial Emperor here. It was quite laughable.
But this Celestial Emperor did indeed have a knot in his heart. It was impossible for a Celestial Emperor level expert to have a knot in his heart.
This knot in his heart could only be untied by him. It had nothing to do with the level of cultivation. It was only because of him. That was all …
"Meeting you back then was fate and also a calamity. I will use my entire life to face this calamity …"
Ye Qingxue got down from his body and interlocked her fingers with him. They walked side by side.
Jun Wu Xie could feel that the knot in her heart seemed to have been untied quite a bit. At least, she was no longer as tangled as before.
"I have disappointed you once. There will not be a second time. In the future, I will definitely stand at the same height as you, or even surpass you. At that time, I will still stand in front of you and shelter you from the wind and rain, just like back then … "
His voice was calm, but it was very firm. It was as if he was making an oath and making a promise.
"I will wait for you. I will also assist you and protect you until you surpass me. I will always wait for that day to come. We will fight side by side and create a prosperous world. At that time, the rest of our lives will be eternal … "
Ye Qingxue said softly, clasping his hand even tighter.
