“…” Xuan Yi’s gaze flickered. After two seconds, he looked down and said, “Sorry, sister. I don’t have any choice. I can’t accompany you back.”
“That’s why I can’t trust young people like you.”
Ye Yu sat by the bed and glanced at Xuan Yi, asking, “Is the Godly Sword damaged?”
Xuan Yi’s gaze flickered, feeling conflicted, resigned, and fierce.
But after a while, he slowly propped his body up and took out the Godly Sword from the space ring.
The sword emitted a faint red light, icy cold and it had a sharp light in which people couldn’t glance straight at it.
Glancing at the sword, Ye Yu’s gaze also became complicated.
But moments later, she placed her emotions away and faintly smiled.
“If you exhibit the complete power of the Godly Sword, you should be able to kill Xuan Bin, right?”
“…But I can’t.”
While saying this, the young man’s black eyes became bloody red, mixed along with a murderous intent and desperation.
“Demigod state. It’s too late… There has been no actual god in centuries, so right now, Xuan Bin basically has control over half the immortal-devil mainland. At most, just one more day, he’ll be able to find this place…”
Speaking of this, Xuan Yi stopped talking.
He suddenly thought of something and he trained his gaze on Ye Yu anxiously, saying, “There’s not much time now. Sister, you must leave — Ye Fei!”
“This subordinate is here.”
Ye Fei stood up, feeling complicated.
“Your mission is to protect —”
“…Shut up.”
Ye Yu couldn’t hold it in anymore and pushed Xuan Yi back in bed. “Your mission right now is to rest. Once Xuan Bin arrives, you still have a tough battle to fight.”
Xuan Yi glanced coldly and said, “Sister, this isn’t something to be taken lightly. You must leave immediately!”
“Who’s joking with you?”
Ye Yu glanced at her.
Seeing how Ye Yu was acting like nothing happened while in a life or death situation, Xuan Yi was incredibly angry. He lowered his voice and said in a slightly angry tone, “Ye Yu!”
With this impolite address, it was rare that Ye Yu didn’t express anything.
She quietly gazed at Xuan Yi for a while before smiling and sighing.
“Didn’t you want me to stay with you the entire time?”
Xuan Yi froze.
Then, he looked down. “… I am very satisfied that you came to find me.”
He said this in an extremely low voice and as if in a daze, it seemed like Ye Yu had seen the teen from her past life… but not the devil Emperor, Xuan Yi, who had deep thoughts and schemed.
For some reason, Ye Yu felt a pang in her heart. Although she only smiled on the surface, she still smiled.
“You really want me to go? You won’t regret it?”
“Yes.” Xuan Yi glanced at her and his beautiful eyes reflected with her figure. “I want you to stay with me, but I don’t want you to die with me.”
“…Silly.”
Ye Yu sighd a third time.
Then, she reached for the Godly Sword.
“Since you can’t use it, give it to me as a souvenir.”
Xuan Yi was stunned.
At this point, Xuan Yi’s subordinates all revealed looks of disdain or dislike.
Except for Ye Fei who glanced meaningfully at the woman’s figure.
It seemed like Xuan Yi thought of something and so he knitted his eyebrows. “Even if sister has broken through the Primal Chaos Realm, it’s impossible for you to control this sword.”
“Of course not.”
Ye Yu replied without hesitation. “So you’re not willing to give it to me?”
Xuan Yi felt helpless, saying, “It’s not that.”
In the end, he mulled over this and couldn’t think of any bad consequences, so he loosened his grip and allowed Ye Yu to have it.
Ye Yu caressed the sword blade and half smiled, saying, “Actually, there is a possibility. I want to cultivate into a demigod and then get revenge for you.”
“…Ok.”
Xuan Yi agreed and stared fixated on Ye Yu. “Cultivate into a demigod and get revenge for me.”
“…”
Ye Yu’s eyes slightly dilated.
After half a moment, she softly chuckled and said, “Ok. The one who lies is the puppy.”
“…Ye Fei.” Xuan Yi withdrew his gaze from Ye Yu with difficulty and he clenched his fist under the thin clothes, veins popping.
However, he maintained a calm look on his handsome face and said, “Take her back to Jian Sect and stay with her at all times.”
Ye Fei looked down and said, “Yes, Emperor.”
The next day, when the day just brightened, Xuan Bin brought the remains of his trusted troop up the mountain.
Yun Sect’s elder’s treatment clearly worked. Only a night passed and Xuan Yi was half recovered.
But everyone knew that it was useless.
