NFBE Chapter 309
Chapter 309
Nalan Jingwen remembered that after that incident, Chi Chenyi rarely went to the human world to play. He hated mortals and thought they were just a group of greedy and unscrupulous ugly people.
Even though he loathed it so much, he never showed it to Nalan Jingwen until later.
The appearance of the abyss.
That was a truly formidable opponent. He had been lying low for a thousand years, possessing strength comparable to hers, but his beliefs differed from hers.
Yuan is bloodthirsty and murderous, advocating violence and war, and attempting to overthrow the existing balance of the three realms, turning everyone into slaves for her use and command, turning them into her personal playground, where she reigns supreme.
Therefore, after Yuan emerged, her first choice to attack was the Divine Realm, and she took the position of the chief god. In those days, their battles almost always ended in a draw. At that time, their struggles caused turmoil in the Three Realms, and the people suffered. No grass grew wherever they went.
In order to defeat Yuan, she continuously improved her strength, even using forbidden techniques to rapidly increase her power in a short period of time. However, the consequence was that even if she won, her soul would be damaged due to excessive consumption, causing her to fall into a deep sleep for an unpredictable period of time, which could be a hundred years or even forever.
Nalan Jingwen stood outside the hall, looking at the dark, heavy clouds on the horizon. Thunder rumbled and claps of lightning filled the sky, making it almost suffocating.
Another fierce battle ensued.
The hall was empty and somewhat messy. A gentle breeze blew, lifting the silver gauze that fell like moonlight. She walked in, went around the screen, and headed towards the Cloud Jade Terrace.
That was where she secluded herself to cultivate.
Passing through the layers of beaded curtains once more, she saw a familiar face.
Chi Chenyi collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected. His robes were disheveled, and he stared blankly ahead, his eyes empty. Tears streamed down his face like a burst dam, disappearing into his red robes.
On the ground were scattered scrolls and papers fluttering in the still air.
Nalan Jingwen recognized them; they were all forbidden techniques she had found.
So Chi Chenyi knew all along.
A deafening explosion rang out, causing ripples and tremors in the air. Chi Chenyi seemed to finally come to her senses, frantically wiping away the tears on her cheeks. She staggered to her feet, dropped the scroll in her hand, lifted her skirt, and ran barefoot outside.
Nalan Jingwen followed behind him and saw him run out of the hall. Without hesitation, like a moth to a flame, he rushed into the arms of the woman who had just finished a battle.
The woman had a wound on her face, her armor was torn, and her clothes were ripped, making her look somewhat disheveled.
The moment Chi Chenyi saw the scars on her face, tears welled up in her eyes almost instantly. Her breath caught in her throat, and her fingertips trembled as she tried to touch the scars on her face, but she dared not.
Seeing this, the soldiers behind him wisely limped away. Only Xingxiu glanced at him again, wanting to say something, but was pulled away by the people around him.
The woman's gaze fell on his bare feet, then she picked him up with one hand, her tone calm but with a hint of reproach.
Why aren't you wearing shoes again?
Chi Chenyi then noticed that blood was continuously flowing from her other hand, and the red blood fell to the ground, exploding into beautiful and alluring blood flowers.
His tears flowed even more freely, and he choked back sobs as he touched her cheek, asking, "Does it hurt a lot?"
The woman remained calm as she strode into the hall, placed the man in her arms on the couch, and wiped away the hot tears from the corners of his eyes with her clean hand.
"It doesn't hurt, don't cry."
These external injuries weren't very painful; the internal injuries were the ones that hurt, but for her, they were all bearable.
Nalan Jingwen found a seat and sat down, watching Chi Chenyi with tears in her eyes as she carefully applied medicine to the woman, her eyes filled with heartache.
Actually, these injuries didn't need any medicine; they could have healed with a little meditation. But Chi Chenyi insisted on doing it this way, so the woman just let him be.
After applying the medicine, the woman casually put her arm around his slender waist, pulled him onto her lap, rested her chin on his shoulder, and whispered, "I'm a little tired, stay with me and sleep for a while."
Chi Chenyi was afraid of pressing on her wound, so he struggled to get up, but when he heard her words, his heart softened and he gently wrapped his arms around her neck.
"it is good."
The woman lifted him up by supporting his buttocks with one hand, and Chi Chenyi instinctively wrapped his long legs around her waist. The two walked to the bed and slept together fully clothed.
The two faced each other. Chi Chenyi approached her, cupped her face in his hands, and carefully and breathlessly placed a kiss on her lips, then reverently pressed his forehead against hers.
The moment the curtain fell, Nalan Jing heard him whisper, almost a vow:
"I will always be with you."
"The Crimson Robe will always be with Awen."
"I will always be yours."
"..."
The moment he learned that she was practicing forbidden arts, he made up his mind that he would stay with her forever, even if she fell into a deep sleep afterward, whether for a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, or even if she never woke up again.
He will always stay by her side.
Until the heavens and earth collapsed, the universe crumbled, and everything turned to ashes.
……
In fact, Nalan Jingwen never expected that at the very last moment, Yuan would do everything in his power to destroy Yingtian Stone, even if it meant his own demise and defeat, he would drag the entire Three Realms down with him.
This was something no one expected; they were so close to winning.
After the destruction of the Yingtian Stone, the Three Realms fell into chaos and darkness, and the entire Divine Realm was filled with fear and unease.
Everyone knew what the consequences would be after the Yingtian Stone was destroyed, until she announced that she would sacrifice herself to repair it, which once again caused a huge uproar.
"I disagree!"
To everyone's surprise, Chi Chenyi suddenly appeared. His eyes were red as he strode in under everyone's gaze, staring intently at the woman on the high seat, and repeated, word by word, "I disagree!"
"How dare you! This is no place for you!"
After Xingxiu finished speaking, she coughed violently again. She had been seriously injured in the final battle and was being helped here.
Chi Chenyi ignored the pointing fingers of the crowd behind him and did not move an inch.
The woman simply looked down at him, her expression cold and devoid of any emotion.
"go back."
"I'm not going back!"
This time, the woman did not comply with him and ordered someone to take him back. Chi Chenyi struggled incessantly, "I won't leave! So what if Yingtian Stone is destroyed? Those people are nothing but a bunch of selfish and self-serving people. They are greedy, disgusting, and ugly. Why should they sacrifice themselves for such people?"
They don't deserve this from you!
The woman stopped looking at him and said, "Take him away."
As everyone watched Chi Chenyi being taken away, they suddenly fell silent. They would never dare to say these words in front of her, but who could say that what Chi Chenyi said was wrong?
"My lord, is there really no other way?"
They asked tentatively, but everyone knew that this was the only way.
The woman looked down, her calm and dignified voice resounding throughout the entire hall.
"I've made up my mind."
