Jun Xiqing reminisced about her short life at the bottom of the lake. The Jun Family that she had worshipped was just a joke.
Her dearest brother, whom she had only known for a few months, had already been killed twice in front of her eyes. He had left her forever.
She had met someone when she was young and in her early years, he had been blessed by the heavens. He was so talented that any woman in the world would be moved by him.
Did he hate him?
Did he hate him?
No.
When she first met him, she knew that he loved Elder Sister Mo 'er deeply. The best promise he had given her was that he would only allow her to be with him for the rest of her life. He had also said that the love she wanted might come in the future. He had never lied to her and had always been calm. Perhaps she would be able to accompany him for the longest time, and one day in the future, she would eventually replace Elder Sister Mo' er in his heart.
But she didn't walk over bravely.
He didn't walk over either.
The two of them stood on opposite ends. They both wanted each other to walk towards them, but in the end, they drifted further and further apart.
Had he been scheming against her all along?
Yes.
But hadn't she schemed against him as well?
When they first met in the Capital, she was the one who schemed against him first. She was the one who provoked him first.
During the battle at the border, she had personally sent him to the battlefield and watched him come back bathed in blood.
If he hadn't been tough enough, he would have been killed by her schemes long ago.
Love was a matter between two people. It took two hands to clap. She also had an undeniable responsibility for getting to where they were today.
The past was just a fleeting dream. He didn't treat her sincerely, and she didn't love him with all her might. Wrong, it was all wrong. The repeated plots and schemes had changed this encounter beyond recognition. All that was left was exhaustion and desolation.
If she could, she would rather have never met … met that man called 'Lu Yeming'.
Jun Xiqing's red lips curved upwards and she closed her eyes gently.
At this moment, she suddenly felt her sinking body being supported by a gentle yet powerful force, and a warm current slowly flowed through her ice-cold blood. She felt as if there was a pair of eyes looking at her, calling out to her.
Jun Xiqing slowly opened her Spirit Eyes. She saw a pair of eyes belonging to a divine beast.
Bai Ling.
Bai Ling had awakened!
Before Jun Xiqing could react, her body had already broken through the surface of the water. Bai Ling spread its wings and brought her up into the sky.
Ah!
Jun Xiqing screamed in fright. At this moment, someone hugged her from behind and a white cloak draped over her shoulders. She heard a gentle voice. "Qingqing, Brother is back."
Brother.
Turning back, Jun Xiqing saw Dongfang Yu's devilishly handsome face. Her brother was smiling at her.
…
On the cliff.
Lu Yeming rushed over. His deep eyes were filled with this scene. Mu Yanfeng and Jun Xiqing had fallen together.
His heart stopped for a moment. He ran to the edge of the cliff and reached out to grab it.
He grabbed a piece of cloth and in the next second, it slipped from his palm. Mu Yanfeng and Jun Xiqing disappeared from his sight.
They fell together.
Lu Yeming's blood froze in that instant. The entire world fell silent as a voice echoed in his ears. Lu Yeming, you've lost her. This time, you've really lost her.
Lu Yeming's eyes turned bloodshot and he called out to her, "Qingqing!"
Qingqing!
Without hesitation, Lu Yeming jumped down.
He wasn't going to lose her.
All this while, he had thought that he wouldn't lose her.
It wasn't because he was confident or that his plans were flawless. It was because no matter where she went, he would find her and bring her back.
Mo 'er was right. He had already treated her as a part of his life.
Lu Yeming jumped down.
"Your Highness!"
Fan Men rushed over, raising his hand to knock on the back of Lu Yeming's neck.
Three years ago, His Highness had jumped off the cliff with Miss Jun. For the past three years, Fan Men had been on high alert. If he could go back in time, he would definitely have stopped His Highness.
This time, he succeeded.
Lu Yeming's body went limp and he knelt on one knee.
"Your Highness, you're injured. You're seriously injured!"
Fan Men knelt on the ground. Blood flowed from the corners of Lu Yeming's eyes, filling his entire eyeballs.
If His Highness wasn't injured, he definitely wouldn't have been able to sneak an attack on him.
But His Highness was injured.
This time, it wasn't a flesh wound.
"Your Highness, your cornea was damaged by the landmine. You need immediate treatment, otherwise … you might lose your sight."
Lu Yeming knelt on the ground, his muscular chest heaving as he panted heavily. His fringe covered his bleeding eyes. Drip, drip. Drop by drop, blood dripped onto the ground beside his hand.
Clenching his fists tightly, his pale lips curled upwards and he let out a low chuckle.
She was finally free of him.
She was still gone.
His heart was empty.
This time, it was all empty.
It was as if someone had dug out his heart and left a bloody hole. This feeling of loss was unbearable.
There was a metallic taste in his throat as fresh blood flowed down the corner of his lips.
Blood from his heart.
He should have known. A long time ago, because of her, his heart had started to hurt and he was about to vomit blood from his heart.
But at the time, he didn't understand. He didn't understand that he had fallen in love with her.
"Ha."
Lu Yeming chuckled. He had lost. He had completely lost.
At this moment, there was a loud roar as a divine beast soared through the sky.
The people on the cliff all looked up and saw an ancient divine beast flapping its wings. Wherever it passed, it brought along a huge gust of wind. It slowly descended from the sky and landed on the ground.
Oh my god.
Everyone held their breaths as they watched this scene in horror.
Fan Men's expression changed. "Your Highness, Miss Jun and … Dongfang Yu … are back. They have awakened Bai Ling!"
Lu Yeming looked up. Bai Ling had landed and Jun Xiqing had walked down.
She was wearing a white cloak, and her black hair, which was originally tied up, was now loose. Her delicate face was as white as snow, and her delicate eyebrows seemed to be a bit more lively. The faint multicolored light was breathtaking, and no one dared to look directly at her.
Bai Ling had awakened and the Goddess had returned. Lu Yeming knew that Jun Xiqing was reborn.
She wasn't dead.
She was back.
Lu Yeming's bloodshot eyes suddenly softened. This feeling of regaining what he had lost made his heart flutter. Actually, what was Nine Underworlds? His heart and eyes were filled with her now.
Why hadn't he been willing to compromise in politics and schemes for her in the past?
"Qingqing …" He called out her name hoarsely.
Leader Mu wasn't completely dead yet. He looked at Jun Xiqing in shock. "You … you …"
Bai Ling suddenly stretched out his sharp claws, his sharp nails directly piercing Leader Mu's heart.
Babies, there was still more.
