In the princess residence of the Evergreen Immortal Empire’s imperial palace.
Two young women were chatting together. They were beautiful and had the innocence of youth. But at this moment, a slight sorrow could be seen between their brows.
“Elder sister, if sister Qingcheng continues like this, I’m afraid she will collapse sooner or later. Help think of a solution if you can.” The younger girl glanced at the other girl beside her as she spoke. The two of them were siblings.
“You should be very clear regarding the relationship between sister Qingcheng and master. Unless master comes back to life, there are no solutions…” The older girl beside her sighed. So, these two were none other than Zhi Yan and Zhi Ran, the two disciples Qin Wentian, Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng accepted when they were roaming around the immortal realms for leisure.
Zhi Ran’s eyes dimmed. She knew that her sister was right.
“Is Qingcheng still like that?” At this moment, a voice rang out. The two sisters instantly glanced over.
“Sister Qing`er!” The two of them called out. A maiden of exceptional beauty appeared before their eyes. Her silvery white hair was like snow and her demeanor was colder than before. Even for Zhi Yan and Zhi Ran, they could clearly sense the coldness from Qing`er.
“Mhm, we are useless.” The two of them lowered their heads as though they had done something wrong.
“This isn’t your fault.” Qing`er sighed. “As your mistress, I did not assume any responsibility and had not taught you girls anything at all. In addition, I’m afraid I have no time in the future too. Do you all wish to go out and cultivate? I can get others to guide you.”
Zhi Yan and Zhi Ran both shook their heads. Zhi Ran spoke, “Sister Qing`er, don’t chase us away. We are willing to take care of sister Qingcheng all the way until she recovers. We won’t be able to set our hearts at ease if others took care of sister Qingcheng. After she recovers, it wouldn’t be too late for Sister Qing`er to find other people to instruct us.”
Qing`er patted them on their heads as she sighed silently in her heart, glancing at the figure behind the sisters.
Over there, a maiden clad in white could be seen. Her features were beautiful but there was an extremely haggard look on her face. Her eyes lacked spirit and were like empty holes. She had no reaction even when Qing`er came here. She merely stared ahead in a dumbfounded manner. In fact, Qing`er couldn’t even sense her lifeforce, she was like the living dead.
“Qingcheng…” Qing`er felt pain in her heart when she saw how Qingcheng looked. Although she was now cultivating in the City of Ancient Emperors, she would return here often to see Mo Qingcheng. However, everything she tried was useless.
It has been ten years, Mo Qingcheng didn’t eat or drink anything in these ten years. The clothes on her body wouldn’t be changed if it wasn’t for Zhi Yan and Zhi Ran. She had truly become a zombie. Because she feared Mo Qingcheng would meet with an accident, Qing`er instructed her people to guard her day and night. After that, the pair of sisters volunteered to be the ones taking care of Mo Qingcheng.
“Wentian will definitely return. He definitely will, he didn’t die then. Qingcheng, why won’t you believe me?” Qing`er’s heart was filled with sorrow when she saw the appearance of Mo Qingcheng. She had promised Qin Wentian to take care of her. But Mo Qingcheng, she didn’t really need anyone to take care of her. When she saw Qin Wentian being blasted to smithereens, her heart had also died at that moment. No matter what Qing`er said, there was no reaction from her.
“Princess.” At this moment, a voice drifted over as a strand of immortal sense arrived here. When that figure saw Qing`er, she respectfully greeted.
“Who told you that you can send your immortal sense to pry here?” Qing`er’s eyes turned cold. Her immortal sense swept out coldly. That serving girl instantly turned pale, “Princess, your subordinate has no such intentions. It’s just that the princess of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, Beiming Youhuang, begs for an audience with you. I initially sought to inform miss Zhi Ran and Zhi Yan but I didn’t expect that princess was here as well.”
“Beiming Youhuang?” Qing`er’s eyes flashed with coldness. “Tell her to go back.”
But at this moment, the sound of whistling wind rang out as a figure arrived directly inside Qing`er’s manor. In the air, Beiming Youhuang glanced at Mo Qingcheng and Qing`er as she sighed in her heart.
“What do you mean by this?” Qing`er’s expressions turned a few notches colder.
“I have news about Qin Wentian. Let’s find a secret place, I wish to tell you this alone.” Beiming Youhuang transmitted her voice over. In an instant, Qing`er’s cold eyes flashed with a bright light, as though she wanted to see through Beiming Youhuang. A few moments later, she nodded, “Come with me then.”
“Bring her along too.” Beiming Youhuang continued transmitting her voice, she was clearly referring to Mo Qingcheng.
“Zhi Ran, Zhi Yan, leave Qingcheng to me. You girls wait for me here.” Qing`er spoke softly. After that, she glanced at the serving girl, “You can withdraw.”
The serving girl outside the manor bowed and retreated.
Qing`er carried Qingcheng and led the way. Beiming Youhuang followed behind her, and eventually, they arrived at Qing`er’s bedchambers.
“You have news about him?” Qing`er stared at Beiming Youhuang.
“Qing`er, Qingcheng.” At this moment, a voice rang out. In an instant, Qing`er stiffened. Even Mo Qingcheng’s empty eyes seemed to regain a hint of their previous luster.
A bright light flashed as a figure condensed from a strand of immortal sense appeared.
“You guys chat. I will leave first.” Beiming Youhuang directly turned about. With a wave of her hand, she sealed the chamber and left the area. The strand of immortal sense was something Qin Wentian left on her. It wouldn’t be able to exist for too long and would naturally dissipate after a moment of time after it activated. By doing so, Qin Wentian was naturally worried about Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng. And as for Beiming Youhuang, she had already done what Qin Wentian needed her to do.
Qing`er naturally wouldn’t bother about Beiming Youhuang leaving. At this moment, she was staring dumbfoundedly at the figure that just appeared. Mo Qingcheng’s eyes grew brighter and brighter as more spirit flashed within.
“Wentian, are you really here?” Mo Qingcheng’s tears began to flow as she trembled, walking forward slowly. It felt like she was in a dream.
“Qingcheng, it’s me.” Qin Wentian glanced at the snow-white hair of Qing`er and the empty eyes of Mo Qingcheng. He felt an extremely heart-wrenching pain in his heart. At this moment, he hated himself, he actually caused them to feel so much torment. In addition, it has been ten years since he ‘died.’ For ten years, although they were alive, every waking moment they had to endure, was probably worse than death.
Mo Qingcheng bit her lips, using enough force to cause blood to flow. She felt the sensation of pain and when she moved her hands over and wiped her lips, and when she saw the fresh blood, she finally knew that this was reality. She could no longer endure it, her tears flowed down like falling rain. She stretched out a trembling hand, wanting to touch Qin Wentian.
However, Qin Wentian’s figure was ethereal. He stretched out his hand was a wave of warmth enveloped Qing`er. “Silly lass, this is a body projection formed from my immortal sense.”
“Mhm, mhm…” Mo Qingcheng’s tears continued flowing, her body trembling involuntarily and was convulsing. She stretched out her hands, moving them closer to his face although she knew she couldn’t touch him. She muttered in some disbelief, “Wentian, are you really still alive?”
Upon seeing how Mo Qingcheng appeared, Qin Wentian felt even more pain in his heart. Qing`er didn’t move forward, she stood at her original location. That time when Qin Wentian died, she smiled radiantly as she watched. But now, her tears also finally flowed although she knew Qin Wentian still had another true-self that was alive out there.
“Qingcheng, Qing`er. I’m really well and alive now, what are you two crying for?” Qin Wentian felt a sourness in his heart. When he saw his wives, boundless pain and sorrow flooded his heart but he still tried to smile. He didn’t want his wives to cry any longer.
“Mhm, I will stop crying.” Mo Qingcheng finally smiled after ten years. She wiped her tears away, and when Qin Wentian saw how haggard she looked, he couldn’t help but to tremble. He then said gently, “In the future, even if I’m not around you, you are not allowed to cry anymore, okay?”
“Okay.” Mo Qingcheng nodded. “As long as you are alive, I will wait for you. I will listen to whatever you say.”
“Silly lass…” Qin Wentian’s voice turned softer. Qing`er continued standing there. Although she wanted to go nearer, she was willing to leave this time for Mo Qingcheng. As long as Qin Wentian was safe, she was already very satisfied in her heart.
“Wentian, this avatar of yours, is he also in the immortal realms now?” Qing`er asked lightly. She wanted to see him very badly.
“Qing`er, this is the immortal sense from my original body.” Qin Wentian replied. His words caused Qing`er to turn stiff as a look of joy appeared on her face. She trembled and asked, “Really?”
Back then those years ago, although she knew Qin Wentian had another true-self, she couldn’t help feeling boundless sorrow and despair as Qin Wentian’s original body was blasted to pieces. Her hair turned white in an instant, the body of the man being blasted into pieces was the man she loved most. Although she knew he had another avatar, she was still willing to give her life in exchange for his. If not, she wouldn’t have snuck out of the City of Ancient Emperors behind Qin Wentian’s back.
So when she learned of the news that Qin Wentian was still alive, one could very well imagine her current emotions.
“You two, why don’t you girls trust me?” Qin Wentian bitterly smiled. “In the war back then, I did die but because of some strange coincidences, I managed to survive and was saved by a mysterious senior. I’ve gradually recovered my strength, and after this, that mysterious senior will send me to the Upper World, to the strongest layer of immortal realms among the thirty-three heavens. The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.”
“Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms…” Qing`er mumbled, gradually believing his words. Earlier, she still suspected if Qin Wentian was lying to her for the sake of consoling them.
“Also, that mysterious senior is currently within the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. This is also the reason why I asked Beiming Youhuang to do me a favor and come here. After I leave, I will naturally still return in the future. You girls must stay strong. Don’t be worried for me. The day I return shall be the day the skies of these immortal realms change.” Qin Wentian spoke with a heroic air. As expected, after Qin Wentian spoke, Qing`er finally smiled, causing her beauty to be even more intense.
“This strand of immortal sense of mine also contains some memories. They are information on cultivation arts, and I’ll pass them on to you. Qing`er, your talent is higher, after I leave, take care of Qingcheng for me.” Qin Wentian smiled at Mo Qingcheng. The haunting look in her eyes earlier truly had frightened him.
“Mhm, I know.” Qing`er seriously nodded.
“Also for that little lass Bai Qing. I don’t know what reaction she had after I died. She would definitely feel extremely hurt. Help me think of a solution to tell her the news that I’m still alive.” Qin Wentian instructed.
Qing`er recalled the tears of blood from Bai Qing as her heart trembled. She nodded and asked, “What about Jun Mengchen and Little Rascal?”
“You don’t need to tell them about this. Mengchen will surely want revenge for me after I died. Let my death serve as a source of motivation for him to improve his strength. As for Little Rascal, he will definitely work hard in cultivation too. It’s just that I feel sorry for Purgatory.” Qin Wentian slowly sighed. “Time is short, remember to stay strong and wait for my return.”
The two maidens nodded seriously. After that, Qin Wentian’s immortal sense transformed into a beam of light that shot towards Qing`er’s forehead. Qing`er naturally didn’t resist it.
After today, Qing`er stopped solely focusing on cultivating day and night at every moment. As for Mo Qingcheng, she gradually recovered her spirit.
With regards to Qin Wentian, he and Beiming Youhuang were silently sent out of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms!
