Eternal Tale

In the afternoon, Qionghua Shuiyu’s smile gradually faded, and her expression became more serious. ”Chen Xun, Bull.”

”Hmm?”

”Moo?”

”You all... these years... have you been okay?” Qionghua Shuiyu took a deep breath, as if this question had been buried in her heart for a long time.

Their relationship wasn’t deep, but such words often made it harder for her to speak, even making others think she had ulterior motives.

Chen Xun maintained a faint smile on his face. ”We’re fine, aren’t we all living well?”

”Yeah...” Qionghua Shuiyu seemed a bit absent-minded.

Suddenly, at that moment.

A woman in a red dress with a sword at her side swiftly crossed the street, looking every bit the part of a martial hero, causing the locals around to take a few steps back.

Just as they were about to curse, they saw the enchanting face carrying a hint of murderous intent, clearly not someone to mess with, so they immediately shut their mouths, cursing their luck under their breath.The woman in the red dress charged aggressively toward the pancake stall.

”Crossing the World, I’ve crossed thirty major cities, climbed mountains and ridges, and here you are selling pancakes with another woman?!”

The woman in the red dress shouted, her fiery voice echoing from afar, ”Liar!”

As soon as she finished speaking, a traveler eating pancakes choked on his food, his face contorting as if he had swallowed something unpleasant, groaning in discomfort.

Black Bull’s face turned pale with shock. Oh no, here she comes again, looking for a fight with Chen Xun!

It let out a soft moo and quickly moved aside, lest Chen Xun blame it for losing the argument, saying it wasn’t good with words...

Qionghua Shuiyu looked at Chen Xun, who was awkwardly silent, and couldn’t help but giggle.

It was rare to see this usually nonchalant and carefree man in such a state.

Chen Xun laughed heartily, intending to pat Black Bull, but the latter had already moved far away, leaving him patting the air.

His mouth twitched, and he glanced sideways at Black Bull. Damn it, betraying me?

”Moo...” Black Bull pretended not to see, fiddling with the flour on the ground with its front hooves. It never liked arguments, and those who knew it were aware of this.

Chen Xun calmly glanced at the sky; the sun was just right.

He slowly turned his gaze to the woman with a martial spirit, Yao Yue, and smiled. ”I heard you weren’t in the sect, so Bull and I came to Kingdom Qian to find you.”

Chen Xun’s expression was somewhat emotional, knowing that Immortal Absolute, Tian Li, and Qi Ming had gone to the battlefield beyond the boundary to find them...

The situation there was precarious, with even the great clans like the phoenix participating in the battle. Such life-and-death camaraderie couldn’t be measured by any immortal path realm.

Especially Brother Mo, who even postponed his grand wedding, leveraging the Ling family of the Heavenly Melody Immortal Kingdom to seek his whereabouts and give an explanation to those who followed him.

He kept this matter in his heart, determined to host an unprecedentedly grand immortal wedding for him in the future, to be remembered by a grand world!

A cold wind blew.

Yao Yue stood far away on the street, her face cold as she looked at Chen Xun, saying nothing, completely opposite to Qionghua Shuiyu.

”The incident back then happened suddenly, too hastily.” Chen Xun rarely explained, his voice gentle. ”It wasn’t intentional to hide it from you.”

”I thought you were dead.” Yao Yue coldly uttered, her eyes reflecting a world with only Chen Xun, ”...I searched for you on the battlefield beyond the boundary for many years.”

”I know.”

”If you hadn’t returned, I would have kept searching there.” Yao Yue’s words were cold and resolute, with no extra explanation.

”...”

Chen Xun’s fingers trembled slightly, forcing himself to take a deep breath, then smiled, ”It won’t happen again; this is the last time.”

Qionghua Shuiyu’s small mouth opened slightly, feeling a bit at a loss due to the tense atmosphere, so she could only watch silently.

Yao Yue snorted coldly, turning her head. ”Then I won’t stay long. Wild Heaven Region, the sect, I don’t like... it’s good you’re not dead.”

”Where are you going?”

”To stay in the mundane world of the Xuanwei Heaven domain. The battlefield is filled with murderous aura, not conducive to cultivation.”

Yao Yue remained cold, casually finding an excuse. ”It’s also a farewell to you. Thank you for your care over the years.”

After speaking, she turned and saluted with her sword, her eyes still carrying a hint of numbness.

Chen Xun’s throat moved, wanting to speak but stopping himself. Immortal Absolute once said Yao Yue had gone somewhat mad on the battlefield beyond the boundary, killing indiscriminately. If not for the protection of various immortal kingdom experts, she would have been the first to die.

”Yao Yue!”

”Here.”

”The matter of the Illusory Moon Immortal Sect, that demon has been suppressed by me in the back mountain of the thatched hut.”

Chen Xun frowned deeply, finally speaking, ”How to deal with this person is up to you. If you ask, I will personally take action for you. Even if it’s the sect leader of the Illusory Moon Immortal Sect or the clan leader of the Yuehuang Clan, if I say they must come, they will come.”

Qionghua Shuiyu’s eyes widened slightly. No wonder he was a man named in the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance’s wanted list... In that instant, Chen Xun’s figure suddenly became towering in her heart.

Hearing this, Yao Yue’s whole body trembled, her eyes quivering.

After a long silence.

She gently shook her head, her expression like an iceberg melting, finally revealing a trace of a smile. ”Crossing the World, just kill him for me, everything else is no longer important.”

”This person, I don’t want to see again, nor do I want to stay in this clan.”

Yao Yue’s eyes suddenly became somewhat misty as she looked at Chen Xun, seemingly smiling, seemingly crying, just staring at him, her lively eyes containing a thousand words.

In this life, she was unfortunate not to meet a good teacher, but fortunate to meet Chen Xun when all hope was lost, giving this insignificant being drifting in the grand world a ray of warmth and light.

Her smile deepened, turning her head to look at Chen Xun, her heart full of relief.

Chen Xun also revealed a clear smile, responding to Yao Yue without any hidden meaning.

”Then I’m leaving. When you think of me, come to the mundane world to see me.”

”I certainly will.”

”..Thank you.”

Yao Yue’s voice was as soft as a mosquito, quickly taking out an Image Stone from her storage ring, her divine sense instantly linking with Chen Xun, capturing this moment.

She left quickly, a smile on her lips, disappearing into the vast sea of people.

Chen Xun stood with one hand behind his back, watching Yao Yue leave until she vanished from Kingdom Qian.

Qionghua Shuiyu smiled gently, saying nothing more, just quietly watching. That woman seemed to carry many stories...

Chen Xun sighed slightly, turning to say, ”Shuiyu, Bull and I must leave too.”

”Moo~”

”Mm-hmm, alright.” Qionghua Shuiyu nodded heavily. ”I’m just here for training, Senior Song’s matter isn’t urgent, Chen Xun, don’t worry too much about it.”

Chen Xun nodded and saluted, looking at Black Bull. ”Bull, let’s go.”

”Moo?”

”The sect matters, divided into four branches: the Chen family, Spiritual Qi Immortal Path, Five Elements Immortal Path, and other immortal paths, for now, that’s it. The rest will wait until after the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance.”

Chen Xun casually arranged, his gaze cold. ”We will now head to the Ancient Immortal Realm, to stabilize the sect for now.”

”Moo!” Black Bull’s eyes were sharp, snorting heavily, there was no time to catch up with everyone.

Qionghua Shuiyu lowered her head, saying nothing, completely not understanding, she still preferred to chat about trivial matters.

”Shuiyu, as we part, may we meet again if fate allows.”

”Moo moo~~”

”Chen Xun, Bull, take care!”

Qionghua Shuiyu suddenly looked up at the sky, waving at them with a bright, flawless smile.

Chen Xun and Black Bull also smiled, nodding gently, completely disappearing from this world.
