Yu Suo turned and left after seeing Chu Mu keeping quiet.
Chu Mu did not know how to keep her and watched her leave.
Chu Mu’s mind was also a little messy now. He still could not understand why Yu Suo would give him the energy to reach Undying rank.
She left. Watching her distancing figure, Chu Mu felt like she was exiting the stage and would never appear in the world again.
Chu Mu did not know where she would go. After she transformed into Evil Good Queen, everything she did was for this Solar Eclipse night. However, the energy eventually ended up in his body.
Then, she just left. It seemed as if everything that would happen afterwards were unrelated to her, as if nothing mattered to her anymore.
In fact, Chu Mu himself did not know why he especially came to make her stay. Perhaps, it was because he felt he owed her when she gave him the fruit of labor she worked so hard to earn.
However, when she asked him to stay as what, he really could not answer. He could not find a reason or excuse no matter how he considered.
……
After travelling really far, Yu Suo finally turned around and took a glance at the cluster of crimson flame that still stood there.
She was not reminiscing about Chu Mu, but she remembered the question he asked, “Where are you going?”
Where should she go??
Yu Suo was also asking herself, she did not know where she should go.
After leaving her vengeance to Chu Mu, she seemed like a puppet who had lost her goal. She did not know where she should go, it seemed that the only thing she could do was to wait for the day she would hear about Yu Tian getting killed by Chu Mu or Chu Mu dying in Heaven Palace…… Hmm, yes, both were good news, were they not?
“Wuwuwuwu~!” Dark Death King raised its head and cried out.
It was also asking its master where they should go.
“To a place far away from the ocean, not too humid,” Yu Suo told Dark Death King.
“Hmm, it also needs to be warm and fresh, best would be a place with flowers,” supplemented Yu Suo.
Dark Death King nodded and suddenly turned towards the north.
“Idiot! Don’t you know that there is a default condition? Stay as far away from him as possible!” scolded Yu Suo as she smacked Dark Death King’s head.
Dark Death King hung its head down and gave up trying to go north. It then began heading northeast.
Rumor said flower’s kingdom was in that direction.
……
Chu Mu thought for a long time while remaining there, then eventually raised his head to look at Heaven Palace which blocked the sunlight.
Ancient Flood Dragon Person was temporarily suppressed, but finishing off that cunning Evil Dragon was not an easy matter. Chu Mu gave Little Yellow Spring another task after delivering the two children to Northern Territory. He told it to go to Yellow Spring Emperor and convey his intention.
Chu Mu himself flew towards Northern Territory. There were still many people waiting for his safe return.
……
Crossing through a piece of human territory no longer took a long time. Chu Mu landed in the new city of New Moon Land.
This city was much larger than Wanxiang City, it was a real Kingdom Capital, enough to accommodate citizens from Wanxiang City and a number of important cities.
It was Chu Mu’s first time coming to North City. He could not find the location of his family immediately.
As Chu Mu flew past in the night sky, nobody in the city realized that their king had returned. Chu Mu quietly landed at the City Lord Mansion.
The mansion’s construction style resembled an ancient yard. It did not look as stylish as New Moon Palace. This construction style belonged to the northern region of Zhengming Continent. If they wanted to change, it would be after Solar Eclipse.
The dim light could only brighten a limited area. The darkness was even more tyrannical than the usual night atmosphere, making the entire yard appear deserted.
Chu Mu followed the soul pact and looked for Ning Maner in this yard which had some unfamiliar faces as well as many familiar faces.
At the spot near the garden, Chu Mu saw an elegant pavilion.
The pavilion had a green tile roof. As Chu Mu walked closer, he immediately saw a girl sitting on the roof and watching the black sky.
When Chu Mu jumped onto the roof, she was still spacing out.
“What are you thinking about?” asked Chu Mu after sitting next to her.
Ning Maner was startled for a moment and turned around, her gloominess was immediately erased.
Tears flowed out from her beautiful eyes. Ning Maner pounced into Chu Mu’s bosom and cried out.
“Big brother is a jerk! You left quietly, then returned quietly!” grumbled Ning Maner.
Chu Mu only told Ye Qingzi about him staying in Wanxiang City. He did not want to make other people worry too much.
However, even if Chu Mu did not say anything, there were things other people could guess. He went off to face an enemy he could not defeat, yet did not even bid farewell. How could that not worry others?
During this period of time, nobody slept well. They would face the black sky everyday and even treated a childish act like wishing towards the meteor as the most reliable prayer.
Ning Maner’s crying sound immediately alerted Ye Qingzi who was in the room.
Ye Qingzi wore a thin sleepwear and her hair looked disheveled. She also hung a large coat over her body to prevent coldness.
Her skin looked a little pale and she appeared really haggard.
Waiting without an end was the most horrible torture. Ye Qingzi stood in the garden and looked at the unscathed Chu Mu, looked at him gently consoling the crying Ning Maner……
Her face looked really calm, but her heart was already in great turmoil.
Chu Mu smiled. He saw her becoming so haggard for him and felt guilty.
After their marriage, Chu Mu noticed that he had always been running around. Ye Qingzi had also been waiting. They seemed to have drifted apart, yet seemed even more intimate.
She was the only woman who could completely understand him without the need for him to speak. Chu Mu did not know how much effort she put in observing and memorizing his behavior……
She became even more quiet and composed, even more understanding and capable of enduring. Actually, she was not like that in the past. It was because of his own impulsiveness, neglect and wickedness that she gradually chose to become like that. This would allow the two of them to share a smoother relationship for a long time, and not become filled with conflict, annoyance and frustration like other couples over the time.
Not many women were willing to change themselves to become a wife who acquiesced many things.
Chu Mu stroked her cheek and noticed the traces of age.
If he kept leaving for a year, or cultivated for a year or two. Would he suddenly noticed that she began aging when he hugged her as they slept??
At this moment, Chu Mu suddenly recalled Yu Suo’s words.
Chu Mu began to panic. How could he let his beloved age unknowingly?
If she had to age, it should be him aging together with her. If all of them left, while he was still living in this world alone, this Undying rank would be far more painful than dying.
Chu Mu hugged Ye Qingzi even tighter. Even though Ye Qingzi still had a very long lifespan, and that the traces of aging only appeared due to her fatigue, Chu Mu was really afraid that one day, she would……
Life force had always been flowing away, Chu Mu had never noticed. He was only working hard in cultivating and missed out many other things.
“Have I left for too long?” asked Chu Mu.
“Yes,” Ye Qingzi nodded.
“When everything is over, I will always stay by your side, alright?”
“What else is not finished?” asked Ye Qingzi.
“Ancient Flood Dragon Person is not dead, it is only being suppressed for now. There’s also Heaven Palace. My power comes from Heaven Palace’s Solar Eclipse formation. They won’t let me off easily,” said Chu Mu.
“One thing after another. After Ancient Flood Dragon Person, Heaven Palace appeared. Is there something after Heaven Palace?” muttered Ye Qingzi.
“No more,” said Chu Mu with certainty.
“But why do I feel that you are here to bid farewell?” asked Ye Qingzi.
“How can that be? Don’t make blind guesses,” said Chu Mu in a stern tone.
……
The dark sky was still filled with unknown fear. Various creatures never seen before roamed in human territory. Those things had membrane wings like huge bats, yet looked like winged beasts. When lightning flashed, one could see their fangs still stained with fresh blood……
Bai Jinrou frowned and descended into the sky from the sky.
Chu Mu was cultivating to stabilize his power. She did not dare to interrupt him.
“Old Li, have you seen these things before?” asked Princess Jinrou after finding Old Li.
Old Li stroked its beard and spoke after thinking for a long time, “They seem to be ancient creatures.”
“But I have seen them before,” said Princess Jinrou.
“Where did you see them?” asked Old Li.
“Heaven Palace. These look like those Heaven Demons in Heaven Palace, although they are not as menacing and powerful as Heaven Demons……” said Bai Jinrou.
“Why did Heaven Palace’s creatures appear in the human world??” Old Li was also astonished.
Heaven Demon was a race that actually threatened Heaven Palace’s survival. Rightfully speaking, that kind of creature should be inhabiting in Heaven Palace’s wheel continent, why did they come to human territory……
Was it due to Solar Eclipse??
“Yu Suo seemed to have said before that Heaven Demons are monsters that live on the back side of the wheel continent. They detest sunlight. They would hide in soil when sunlight shone down. Now that the entire world is in darkness and sunlight cannot shine down. Perhaps this place has become the paradise for those monsters…… Also, these things eat living humans,” said Princess Jinrou.
Old Li was shocked and hurried spoke, “Go ask Female Supreme Liu if there are missing people recently.”
Princess Jinrou suddenly realized something and changed her expression as she rushed towards Liu Binglan’s yard.
