I truly have a connection with Huai Yin; our encounters span more than just this lifetime. I can save her, but it wouldn't do to do so without reason, as it would make me, the Emperor, seem rather casual about it.
Yun Zhi Yue said earnestly, "Though I don't know the details, I want to save Huai Yin out of pure intention. As the Emperor commands, I will do my utmost. What do you say?"
As he stroked the little head kneeling before him, Su Ye seemed to be lost in thought, amusement dancing in his eyes.
Ben Jun instructed, "You should go to Wujie and apprentice under someone. Bring the Li Shang Wu Yue Jian back for me to play with."
Yun Zhi Yue's eyes widened in shock. "Li Shang Di Jun and Wu Yue Jian! Isn't that Shajian? How can I even approach it without being obliterated?"
Su Ye shrugged nonchalantly. "That's why I'm sending you to apprentice. Find a way to become his disciple and earn his trust; that should solve everything. Ben Jun has faith in you, so off you go to the heavenly realm."
Just then, as I was regaining my senses after being trapped by the celestial domain, Zhou Xiaoshou exclaimed, "Heavens, look!"
Around them, the desolate ground began to show signs of life; dead trees visibly revived. Though the buildings remained in ruins, vibrant green grass emerged, breathing life into the scene.
In these years of apocalypse, everyone had nearly forgotten what lush greenery looked like. Today, memories thought lost were vividly restored.
Amidst everyone's exclamations of wonder, only Shen Xingchuan scanned the surroundings anxiously, desperately searching for a particular figure.
When he saw Yun Zhi Yue suddenly appear, he immediately felt a surge of relief and rushed forward to embrace her tightly, enough to cause her pain.
Yun Zhi Yue understood that Shen Xingchuan must be extremely unsettled at this moment; she paid no mind to the discomfort of his grip and held him close. They only had one year left together.
The Emperor's will was unyielding; she hadn't yet established a solid foundation with him. Moreover, she had to ensure Huai Yin's safety!
In this broken world, life surged forth overnight—this was merely a flick of the Emperor's hand.
One day, she too would casually flaunt such power. Yun Zhi Yue silently vowed.
Regardless of the commotion outside, Yun Zhi Yue had no heart to pay attention at that moment.
Ugh. Her waist felt like it might snap.
On the top floor of Yun's Supermarket, ambiguous sounds echoed continuously. Yun Zhi Yue's hair was damp with sweat, clinging to her body as she endured the frantic energy of someone else.
Words were futile; she didn't need to speak. With just a glance, Shen Xingchuan could infer so much. Sometimes she wondered if he understood her better than she understood herself.
As she regained consciousness from yet another fainting spell, Shen Xingchuan continued...
Tears and sweat mingled together; without needing to look, Yun Zhi Yue knew how disheveled she appeared at that moment. Yet she didn't stop him—perhaps because she too found it hard to let go.
But at least they still had a year left together; if things continued like this, she would end up crippled.
With great effort, he raised his trembling arm and wrapped it around Shen Xingchuan. "Don't be afraid, you won't leave me."
Shen Xingchuan stopped all movement, burying his head into Yun Zhi Yue's chest, remaining silent for a long time.
Yun Zhi Yue gently stroked his head to comfort him. "Don't feel powerless. No one can make you feel ashamed, Shen Xingchuan. We still have a year left; soon it will be your turn to come find me."
"I will definitely find you!" Shen Xingchuan bit down on his lip in determination.
Yun Zhi Yue winced in pain and snapped, "Get off! What kind of man have you turned into, a dog demon?"
