#2204 - The beauty's tearful farewell misled the king's heart
Back at the Azure Wind Merchant Guild, just as he entered the residential area and before he even reached his courtyard, Steward Zhou hurried over.
“My lord, the word on the street today is that the Emperor and the Chosen Son of Destiny have attacked an immortal.
Those two are trying to take all the glory for themselves and are recruiting people everywhere. Do you think we should do something about it?”
“I already know. Let them be.
The real cannot be faked, and the fake cannot become real.
Glory can be stolen temporarily, but strength cannot.
Perhaps when the evil demons attack the city, we will see who is who.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Steward Zhou silently retreated upon hearing this.
… …
Back in the courtyard, only Little World Tree, Linglong, Mu Lian Yue, and Lan Lan were present.
Extending his divine sense, Jun Wuxie quickly located Mu Ciyin.
She was by the lake outside the courtyard.
Standing there quietly, watching the lake water rippling slightly in the breeze, her white dress fluttering, and her black hair dancing.
“Junior Brother, you’ve really stirred up a hornet’s nest this time.”
Linglong glanced in the direction of the lake and then at Mu Lian Yue, who looked embarrassed.
Jun Wuxie gently shook his head, then looked at Mu Lian Yue and said, “Lian Yue, from today onward, you will live here.
If you want to go out and train, that’s fine, but after you return to the city, treat this place as your home.
If anyone from the Twilight Dynasty contacts you, no matter who it is, do not respond and do not meet with them.
If you must meet, tell me, and I will accompany you.”
“Understood, Lord Jun.”
Mu Lian Yue nodded gently, her emotions somewhat low.
Severing ties with the royal family, emotionally, she had not yet completely moved on.
After all, that was the home where she had lived for so many years.
Now, the home was gone, and all her former relatives were gone.
Looking around, in this vast world, the only person she could trust seemed to be the man before her.
“Lian Yue, don’t be sad, you still have us.”
Little World Tree and Linglong both comforted her.
They already knew what had happened and sympathized with her situation.
“Yiya ~ Lan Lan too ~”
The little one gently tugged at Mu Lian Yue’s skirt with its little claws.
Mu Lian Yue’s eyes slightly moistened, and she picked up Lan Lan, saying thank you to Little World Tree and Linglong.
“Senior Sister Linglong, I have some Hundred Lifetimes Divine Forbidden Pills here, as well as some Fourth Order Primordial exclusive Divine Artifacts.”
He took out several pills and a pile of exclusive Divine Artifacts.
Linglong’s enchanting eyes immediately lit up with a dazzling light.
Whether it was the Hundred Lifetimes Divine Forbidden Pills or the Primordial exclusive Divine Artifacts, they were both things she currently needed.
The Hundred Lifetimes Divine Forbidden Pills were not easy to obtain.
Since entering the Secret Realm, she and Mu Ciyin had only obtained two Hundred Lifetimes Divine Forbidden Pills after training until now.
As for exclusive Divine Artifacts.
Although she and Mu Ciyin both had Supreme-grade exclusive Divine Artifacts, many parts of their bodies still had Ancient-grade equipment.
Fourth Order Primordial-grade required killing Fourth Order Transcendent God-level creatures, which was too difficult for them.
Now, with these exclusive Divine Artifacts, except for special parts, the regular parts could basically be fully equipped, and the Divine Forbidden Domain could also be improved in a short period of time.
“Junior Brother, thank you!”
“Senior Sister Linglong, why are you thanking me?”
Jun Wuxie sighed softly, looking at her with a speechless expression.
“By the way, what’s the deal with your ‘flying wing to wing’ title?”
Linglong was very curious. At this time, she had completely turned into a curious baby, lacking her usual cold and aloof queen-like aura.
What interesting things happened between Junior Brother and Lian Yue to get the ‘flying wing to wing’ title?
“This ‘flying wing to wing’ comes from a pair of rings dropped by the Fallen Immortal King, which are the Fallen Immortal King Ring · Phoenix and the Fallen Immortal King Ring · Qilin on the rankings.”
Jun Wuxie shared the effects of his ring with her.
Linglong looked at it, dumbfounded, standing there in a daze.
There were actually non-Secret Realm exclusive Divine Artifacts!
Moreover, the effect was so powerful.
One of the top sublimation secret techniques only increased the amplification by nine times!
The ring, however, provided a tenfold increase.
Sublimation secret techniques had requirements for the strength of the physical body, but the effect of this ring did not.
This meant that in the extreme sublimation state, having this ring could further increase the amplification by ten times without bringing unbearable pressure to oneself.
“There are many good things in the Secret Realm, which need to be explored slowly in the future.
Moreover, we may need to use the Secret Realm as a base for a long time.”
Jun Wuxie spoke of the dark forces breaking through the borderlands.
Mu Lian Yue and Linglong were both shocked.
Linglong was slightly better, after all, she had experienced the dark invasion.
But Mu Lian Yue had not.
However, Linglong’s mood was heavier than Mu Lian Yue’s.
It was precisely because she had experienced the dark invasion that she understood what the fall of the borderlands meant.
Fortunately, there was still the Secret Realm as a pure land, providing a place of refuge for the creatures of the Divine Ancient Star, otherwise, the Divine Ancient Star would become an unimaginable purgatory.
“Junior Brother, what are you going to do?”
“After the evil demons attack the city, I have to go to the borderlands and tell my mother about this, to see what she thinks.
When the time comes, I will find Yao’er and discuss it together.
I don’t know much about the current situation of the Divine Ancient Star, especially the attitudes and strengths of the major forces.
If possible, it would be best to defend at least one continent of the Divine Ancient Star.
This would also restrain the dark army, to completely cut off any possibility of them attacking other ancient life stars.
Whether or not it can be done depends on how many forces are willing to fight against the dark creatures, and also on the scale and number of strong individuals of the dark creatures crossing the border at that time.”
“We have to seize the time to cultivate. I didn’t expect the dark invasion of the Divine Ancient Star to come so quickly. Time is too tight…
However, Junior Brother, you should solve the immediate troubles first.”
Linglong glanced in the direction of the lake, then put away the Hundred Lifetimes Divine Forbidden Pills and exclusive Divine Artifacts, and walked into the house with a smile.
“That… Lord Jun, I’m going to cultivate too, to recover to my peak state as soon as possible, so I can try the effects of the Adamantine Divine Bone Zenith Pill.
I’ve caused you trouble, I’m sorry.”
She gave an apologetic look, she could see that Sister Mu’s mood was very bad.
“Settle down and don’t think about anything else.”
Jun Wuxie finished speaking and turned to walk towards the lakeside.
It was very quiet here, and there was no one walking around for a long distance.
“In a bad mood?”
He came to Mu Ciyin’s side, standing shoulder to shoulder with her.
Mu Ciyin did not speak, only quietly watching the sparkling lake surface, the wind blowing her ink-like black hair.
There was no expression on her face, her cold eyes, a piece of calm, just like her when they first met, holy and cold, making it difficult to approach.
“Don’t want to talk to me?”
Jun Wuxie was somewhat helpless, her jealousy was getting bigger and bigger.
“Once loving the dusk, from then on, new people replace old people.”
Her faint voice drifted in the air, with a hint of sorrow, and her ice-clear, crystal-clear beautiful eyes finally revealed emotion, and also condensed a layer of water vapor.
“Nonsense, do you not believe in my feelings for you so much, or do you not have confidence in yourself?”
Jun Wuxie held her shoulders, turned her around, faced himself, and said softly: “Beautiful woman’s tears bid farewell, wrongly misunderstanding the heart of the lord, year after year, the heart of the lord remains the same.
You are Mu Ciyin, in my heart, you will always be the woman I deeply love, how can you belittle yourself?”
“You only know how to say nice things to coax me…”
Mu Ciyin lowered her eyes, the tears in her eyes almost falling down.
She didn’t know why, she just felt very sad, very sad, and wanted to cry.
She knew that she shouldn’t be like this with her identity, but she just couldn’t control herself.
She clearly didn’t want to pay attention to him, but when she heard him say these words, a trace of sweetness uncontrollably grew in her heart.
“I’m not coaxing you.”
Jun Wuxie leaned over and touched her forehead, and said: “I really cherish you, don’t you know your own charm? You’re actually jealous of Lian Yue.
There are so many sisters, but I haven’t seen you jealous.”
Mu Ciyin gently pushed him away, raised her head and stared into his eyes, “But among so many sisters, I haven’t seen anyone flying wing to wing with you!”
“It’s just a title, that ‘flying wing to wing’ comes from the two rings we got when we killed the Fallen Immortal King.”
“So, two rings, you have one, she has one, you are a match made in heaven, me and the sisters are nothing…”
“It’s getting more and more outrageous…”
Jun Wuxie shook his head helplessly, picked her up in one fell swoop, his eyes slightly strong, and said: “We have been together for so many years, experienced so much together, and now you still doubt my feelings for you?
Tell me, should you be punished?
Come, touch here.”
He grabbed Mu Ciyin’s hand and placed it on the position of his heart, “Have you felt it beating for you at this moment.”
Mu Ciyin’s slender hand stroked his strong chest, her eyes misty, and she put her face on his chest, muttering: “Liar, I don’t want to believe your sweet words.”
“That won’t do.”
He leaned close to her crystal ear and whispered: “If you don’t believe in your husband, Ciyin’s world will collapse.”
“Narcissist!”
Mu Ciyin slapped him.
“Tell me, who exactly is she? If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, don’t touch me, go find her to cultivate with!”
Jun Wuxie, who was full of tenderness, frowned slightly when he heard this and fell silent.
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Mu Ciyin felt a little uncomfortable and said: “What, you’re too lazy to even explain?”
“I know you’re saying this in anger, but don’t use the matter of love between men and women to talk about things.
I can not touch you.”
Jun Wuxie said and was about to let go of his hands and put her down.
“That's not what I meant.” Mu Ciyin's delicate body trembled, and she tightly hugged his neck.
“Let go.”
Jun Wuxie's voice remained gentle.
However, within that gentle voice, Mu Ciyin heard a kind of indifference.
At that moment, she seemed to feel a distance growing between them.
In all the years they had been together, she had never felt this way before.
This feeling filled her with panic, leaving her at a loss.
“Wuxie, you know that's not what I meant, I…”
“I think you need to calm down.”
Jun Wuxie pried open her arms that were wrapped around him, held her by the shoulders, and said, “Ciyin, I may not have much time or energy to deal with jealousy.
If, deep down, you feel more and more aggrieved being with me, you can tell me, and I will send you back to the Upper Realm.”
“I don't feel aggrieved, it's not what you think…”
“Think it over carefully before you tell me.”
After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he turned and left.
Mu Ciyin reached out to grab him, but only managed to grasp the corner of his clothes.
The corner of his clothes slowly slipped from her fingers, and his figure gradually receded into the distance.
“How could this happen…”
Watching his back disappear from her sight, she could no longer control her emotions, squatting on the ground, her face covered in tears.
Why did things develop to this point!
She suddenly hated herself, why did she let things develop to this point!
All along, she had felt that their hearts were intertwined.
Now, there seemed to be a crack.
This crack made her feel that she and he were no longer as intimate as before.
“You clearly know that I was just being coquettish with you, clearly know that's not what I meant, why do you abandon me, you bastard!”
She sat on the ground, hugging her knees and weeping bitterly.
…
“Lord Jun, Ciyin, she…”
Jun Wuxie returned to the courtyard, and the Little World Tree cast a worried gaze.
With her strength, she had clearly heard their conversation.
“Time is limited, and I don't want to always spend time and energy on this kind of thing in the future.
Find a time, and you can send her back to the Upper Realm.”
The Little World Tree's delicate body trembled slightly, “Then what about your source injury?”
“It's just a source injury, it doesn't matter if it can't be resolved for now.”
As Jun Wuxie spoke, he walked into his room.
“咿呀, what's wrong with Master? He seems to be in a low mood.”
Lanlan looked up at the Little World Tree.
The Little World Tree looked at the closed door, remaining silent for a long time.
This scene was something she had not expected.
She knew that Lord Jun and Mu Ciyin had a deep relationship.
In her opinion, even if Mu Ciyin was jealous, Lord Jun shouldn't be like this.
But as Lord Jun said, if she is always like this in the future.
Against the backdrop of this great era, how could he always use his energy and time to resolve such matters?
