2669 Ximen Lingyu's Catharsis (2)

"No, you belong to that era."

Ximen Linglan said firmly, "If you don't belong to that era, you can't interfere with anything in that era. Therefore, you belong to that era, but you haven't completely experienced it. You were born in your so-called era, but in fact, you don't belong to your era… I didn't understand this until I joined the Time Temple."

Ximen Ling had kept some things in her heart for too long and now she finally had a chance to speak out. She continued, "Because you felt that in that so-called era that you belonged to, there were very important things for you to do, so you gave up living in this era and gave up on me. If you really want me to die in peace, you can actually cultivate with me, grow up with me, and spend those five thousand years with me. In that case, we will live happily for five thousand years. No matter if I die in battle or die of old age in the end, at least I will live those five thousand years happily. After five thousand years, you can still return to your so-called era, and in that era, you should have only spent a short period of time… So, you gave up five thousand years for your so-called years…"

Although Ximen Ling'an was already a Great Monarch, her emotions seemed to be ignited at this moment. She was a little excited. The words that had been suppressed in her heart finally found an opening to vent.

Han Fei was rendered speechless by her words. Although he really didn't know that hundreds of years in the Age of Doom only took dozens of days in the Ideal Palace, this wasn't an excuse.

Compared to him, Ximen Ling'an had waited for a full 5,000 years. Now, it had been more than 100,000 years.

Ignoring Han Fei's silence, Ximen Linglan continued, "I waited for you for 5,000 years. I cultivated hard, tried to become stronger, and tried to reach the Time River. But no, I just couldn't… I loved you for 5,000 years, and I hated you for 5,000 years, hated why you appeared in my world, hated why you left without saying goodbye… At the last moment of my life, in that big battle, I pulled my enemy into the Time River resolutely. I could feel the loss of my life, I could feel despair, but I couldn't accept it… I couldn't accept that I had waited for 5,000 years but only saw you in a hurry. I turned myself into the Blade of Vengeance and went to your side. I wanted to ask you, Why… Why did you leave me alone? Why…"

At this point, Ximen Ling'an was already in tears. Realizing her emotions and state, Ximen Ling'an issued an order in her heart, and the tears all over her face turned into water vapor and dissipated in the air.

Her emotions gradually calmed down, and her expression gradually changed from excitement to indifference. She said, "My soul, my life, my will, my love, my hate, all of me, at that moment, crazily surged into the Blade of Vengeance. At that moment, I realized that I was going to cut through time with mortal power, but it was also at that moment that my life came to an end… However, at the moment when I was about to die with everything I had, an invisible hand took me away from time… At that moment, my teacher gave me a new life, and I really needed a new life. Yes, why, why should I live for you? Without you, I, Ximen Lingyu, can still live and live better…"

At this point, her attitude had become extremely cold, and there were no emotional fluctuations in her words.

She continued, "Now, I am me. I am Ximen Lingyu. I have my own way of living, my own life, and my own pursuits…"

Han Fei: "..."

"Sorry~"

Ximen Linglan's words were like knives, carved into his bones. Han Fei could almost feel the despair, the grief, and the helplessness. But it was impossible for him to really feel it. In the end, he could only say sorry weakly…

Ximen Lingyu shook her head indifferently. "You should feel sorry for me. But I don't care now. I am the most outstanding genius in the history of the Time Temple. I have the ability to cross time without damaging my lifespan. You are my man, but also the man who abandoned me. Our bond ends here… I'll return this blade of revenge to you…"

With that, the Blade of Hope shot out from Ximen Ling'an's side and instantly entered Han Fei's body.

Han Fei hurriedly said, "This is yours."

However, Ximen Ling'an shook her head and said, "That's the Ximen Ling'an of the past. That's the Ximen Ling'an who loved you. The past is the past. I don't want the things she gave you…"

After that, the coffin of the Ancient Tree of Life flew to Han Fei's side. Ximen Linglan glanced at Xia Xiaochan again and said indifferently, "I finally know that the woman whose name you called countless times in your sleep looks like this. It's funny that you pretended to be stupid back then and planned to hide it from me for the rest of your life…"

Then, she snapped her fingers and shot a wisp of vitality into the coffin of the Ancient Tree of Life.

Han Fei asked, "What is this?"

Ximen Lingyu snorted coldly. "The coffin of the Ancient Tree of Life can protect her body for at most 100,000 years. Now that she has crossed the Time River for 100,000 years, the vitality of this coffin is almost exhausted. Let me replenish some of it for her. At least it's enough for her to return. Why, do you think I want to harm her?"
