Letting Loose After Marrying A Tycoon

On the way home, Han Jun drove while Xu Qian sat quietly in the passenger seat. She lowered her head and massaged her temples with her slender index finger.

There were many bends on the way down the mountain and Han Jun couldn’t be distracted. She drove around a big bend and suddenly asked, “What did you and Neil talk about in the garden just now?”

Xu Qian was in a daze and didn’t answer.

Han Jun thought that they were talking about something that couldn’t be said, so she teased. “Why? Can’t you say it? Is it a secret between men?”

Xu Qian rolled his eyes and looked at her apologetically. “What did you say just now?”

Han Jun frowned slightly.

“What are you thinking about?”

Xu Qian told the truth. “I’m thinking about Lin Yutian’s whereabouts. I’m thinking about where the eye of the array chosen by the evil spirit will be.”

“Don’t waste your time. You won’t be able to guess.” Han Jun was always very patient when facing Xu Qian. She repeated her question. “I asked you, what did you talk to Neil about in the garden just now?”

A smile appeared on Xu Qian’s face. He said, “That child is rather cute. He asked me how I felt the first time I called your parents’ dad and mom. Seeing that I changed my address, he was envious and jealous. He might also want to change his address.”

Hearing this, Han Jun couldn’t help laughing. “Neil is quieter and introverted because of his childhood. He’s also thin-skinned.” She looked at Xu Qian meaningfully and said, “Compared to you, he’s naturally thin-skinned.”

Xu Qian couldn’t help feeling amused. “Why, am I just thick-skinned?”

Han Jun snorted. “Old demons are naturally thick-skinned.”

“Little CEO Han, your words are heartbreaking.” Xu Qian hugged the Return to One Sword tightly and sighed. “Ah Qiu used to worship me.”

Han Jun said, “You were so reserved and cold to me in the past.”

Xu Qian was speechless.

The car drove to the foot of the mountain. The two of them were about to go home directly, but Xu Qian’s cell phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and turned on the speaker to let Han Jun hear their conversation clearly.

“Master Xu! We have all arrived and are just waiting for you!” It was the people from Emei Wudang and Shaolin Monastery who had arrived. They were gathered together and waiting for Xu Qian to host the meeting.

“Wait a moment, I’ll be right there.” After Xu Qian hung up, she smiled helplessly at Han Jun. “Looks like I can’t accompany you tonight.” Today was their first day as legally married couples. Logically speaking, they should do something tonight.

But the situation forced them to put aside their romantic relationships.

Han Jun freed up her right hand and patted Xu Qian’s arm to comfort him. “There’s still a long way to go. There’s no hurry.” Han Jun was the same as Xu Qian. They were both people with a big picture view. The priority now was to find the evil spirit’s hiding place and eliminate it as soon as possible.

Han Jun wouldn’t be unreasonable with Xu Qian at this point.

In reality, Han Jun was not someone who would be unreasonable. If Xu Qian really angered her and offended her, Han Jun would usually choose to solve the problem by force with Xu Qian.

If they fought, the winner would be right and the loser would be wrong.

It was simple and crude, but also the most effective.

The meeting location was set at a Daoist temple in a mountainous area in Wangdong City. Han Jun personally drove Xu Qian to the intersection in front of the Daoist temple. Xu Qian alighted with his sword. He sensed that Han Jun was looking at him very intently from behind. He silently turned back and smiled at Han Jun. “I will go to the company to look for you tomorrow afternoon.”

Han Jun raised her brows and asked, “Do you need me to prepare anything? Rose fragrance? Durex and red wine?”

Xu Qian’s smile faded slightly and his eyes darkened.

He looked at Han Jun deeply for a long time before saying, “You are the best present.”

Han Jun nodded. “Got it.” She watched as Xu Qian entered the Taoist temple. She could vaguely see his figure shuttling along the corridor. The man’s back view landed on the window of the attic. It was slender and exceptionally cold.

Han Jun retracted her gaze and stared at the deep forest near the Daoist temple. After hesitating for a long while, she picked up her cell phone and called Yan Qingxiu, who was far away at the research institute.

Yan Qingxiu picked up the phone and said in a tired voice, “My lord, you called me at this time. Are you not resting?” Yan Qingxiu had already seen the news of Xu Qian and Han Jun registering their marriage on Song Ci’s social media. Logically speaking, his lord should be with Xu Qian at this time.

It was unusual for Yan Qingxiu to see that the Lord still had time to call him.

Han Jun asked him a question. “How does tearing open a space-time tunnel to come to Earth affect you?”

Yan Qingxiu’s expression became hesitant. “Lord, why are you asking this?”

Han Jun said, “I know that under the rules of the universal civilization’s protection law, every planet with intelligent life in the universe has a Lord God protecting it. You ignored the universal civilization’s protection law and forcefully came from a high-level civilization planet to a low-level civilization planet. This is not allowed by the Lord God. Tell me, what punishment did you receive?”

Yan Qingxiu walked to the end of the research room and stood in an empty corner.

Although he didn’t know why Han Jun was asking this, Yan Qingxiu still told her the truth. “Every time I go to a world, my ability will be weakened to the lowest point. Earth is considered one of the top planets in the low-level civilization world. It is about to advance to a second-level civilization. It has a very strong rejection for foreign experts. If not for me being fortunate enough to meet Dong Yang, whose compatibility with my body is close to 100%, I would have been expelled from this world by the Master God of this planet long ago.”

“Lord, why are you asking this?”

Han Jun looked at the Daoist temple in front of her. She clenched the steering wheel and said in a low voice, “I want to fuse my soul and recover my true body.”

Yan Qingxiu was overjoyed when he heard this. “That’s great! Lord, I’ve been waiting for this day for too long!” Previously, Han Jun had refused to fuse with her soul because she wanted to use Han Jun’s identity to accompany Han Zhan and Song Ci in their old age.

Han Jun was finally willing to accept the soul fusion. How could Yan Qingxiu not be happy!

Once Han Jun completed the soul fusion, she would regain her true form. The Master God in charge of protecting this world would definitely sense Han Jun’s existence and expel her from this world.

At that time, Han Jun could return to the Aosheng Continent!

Yan Qingxiu had waited for this day for too long!

But Han Jun said, “Yan Qingxiu, I can’t bear to part with them.”

Yan Qingxiu’s excitement and passion were instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

Han Jun’s recovery also meant that she was going to part ways with her family, lover, and friends.

Yan Qingxiu felt sad for Han Jun.

“Yan Qingxiu, don’t work overtime tonight. Wait for me at my house.”

Yan Qingxiu asked hesitantly, “Supremacy… are you really planning to fuse souls?”

“Mmm.”

What could I do? 

The evil spirit was brought to this world by her and Xu Qian, and it wanted to bring 4 million souls down with it. Among these four million people, there were her family, friends, and subordinates. She couldn’t take the souls of four million people for burial just because of her own selfish desires!

–

That night, Xu Qian and the rest didn’t stop discussing until dawn.

The young Daoist priest at the Daoist temple knocked on the door from outside and reminded everyone, “Dear guests, it’s 7pm now. It’s time for breakfast. Breakfast has been prepared at the restaurant. I’m sorry to trouble you to move to the restaurant for dinner.”

Only when they heard the Little Daoist’s voice did everyone look up. They shook their sour shoulders and looked up at the dawn outside the window. “Is it already dawn?”

Xu Qian got up and walked to the window. He pushed it open and the morning sun shone into the room.

The light was oppressive and everyone closed their eyes in discomfort.

“Let’s go eat,” Xu Qian said.

Daoist Xu, who came from Qingcheng, couldn’t help asking, “Master Xu, what… should we do?”

Although the others didn’t speak, they all looked at Xu Qian.

Xu Qian hugged his sword with one hand. He saw the expressions of everyone present. His eyelids lifted slightly and his voice was very soft, but it was filled with the determination to stake everything. “If he wants death, we will die before the rest of the world.”

Everyone’s expressions turned cold when they heard this, and they instantly cupped their hands and echoed. “You’re right! Even if the sky collapsed, it would definitely crush our bodies first!”

Even at noon, the searching butterfly didn’t return. Clearly, it still hadn’t found Lin Yutian’s whereabouts. Perhaps Lin Yutian’s aura had already been affected by that evil spirit and changed.

Xu Qian had breakfast and chatted with his friends for a while before taking a car to Zeus Corporation. Only when he arrived at the Imperial Dragon Building did he know that Han Jun didn’t come to work today.

Xu Qian called Han Jun. Although it went through, no one answered.

Xu Qian felt uneasy.

He quickly drove to Han Jun’s house. Han Jun’s house was only about 10 minutes away from the Imperial Dragon Building. Xu Qian quickly arrived at Han Jun’s house. He went straight to Han Jun’s house but saw Yan Qingxiu in the living room.

Xu Qian stared at Yan Qingxiu in the female body and couldn’t help asking anxiously, “Where’s your master?”

Yan Qingxiu turned around and stared at Xu Qian for a long while before pointing upstairs. Xu Qian frowned and sized up Yan Qingxiu’s appearance. Yan Qingxiu seemed very agitated and his eyes were red.

He cried? 

“Why are you crying?”

Yan Qingxiu was crying tears of joy. He touched the tears at the corners of his eyes and sighed hoarsely. “I am happy. I have waited for this day for too long!”

Seeing that Yan Qingxiu was so agitated that he couldn’t explain what had happened, Xu Qian lost his patience and ran upstairs. Just as he was about to push open Han Jun’s door, it opened automatically.

Xu Qian hesitated for a moment before striding in.

Han Jun was wearing an orange halter dress and had long hair. She stood by the window with her back facing Xu Qian.

“Little CEO Han.”

Just as Xu Qian finished speaking, the beautiful figure by the window turned around and revealed herself.

Seeing Han Jun’s face, Xu Qian was stunned.

“…”

Han Jun’s facial features were quite different from yesterday. Her willowy eyes that looked like Song Ci’s had turned into majestic phoenix eyes. The corners of her eyes were raised in a dignified manner.

Her eyes were cold. When she looked at someone, it was as if she was looking at a dead object.

She was beautiful but cold. The person in front of her was Han Jun, and also not Han Jun.

Xu Qian stared at Han Jun for a long time before raising his right hand and caressing his face with trembling fingers.

The moment his fingertips touched Han Jun, Han Jun’s cold eyes rippled. She tilted her head and rubbed her cheek against Xu Qian’s hand.

Xu Qian’s eyes reddened. “Ah Qiu.”

Han Jun grabbed Xu Qian’s hand and interlocked their fingers. “Qu Jingtian, I am back.”

She had returned, but he had changed into another appearance. She had stood alone in the Great Ice Palace and watched the Fleeting Flower for hundreds of years, but how could the Fleeting Flower compare to Qu Jingtian’s smile?

Han Jun took a step forward. She looked up and kissed Xu Qian’s lips. Tears streamed down her face.

Han Jun wrapped her hands around Xu Qian’s neck. Her passionate kiss gradually changed.

They were already married and could love each other to the end.

Han Jun hinted to Xu Qian. “I am your wife.”

These words were like a death sentence, snapping the last thread of Xu Qian’s rationality. He hugged Han Jun’s waist and responded enthusiastically…

–

At dusk, Xu Qian fell asleep from exhaustion.

Han Jun sat by the bed and watched gently as Xu Qian slept to his heart’s content.

There was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Yan Qingxiu walked in respectfully and bowed to Han Jun from afar.

“Lord, have you thought it through?”

Han Jun looked up and stared at Yan Qingxiu coldly. She then looked down at Xu Qian, who was lying on the bed. That look was like the last one. She was going to carve Xu Qian’s face deeply into her heart and she would never dare to forget it.

Han Jun stood up, picked up her phone, and called the landline at the Imperial Dragon Villa.

After Butler Cai answered the call, he called Song Ci and Han Zhan over according to Han Jun’s instructions. The couple stood by the phone together and heard Han Jun sobbing on the other end of the call.

When the call was about to end, Han Jun told them, “Father, Mother, Junjun really wants to accompany you guys until you grow old and can’t walk anymore, when all your teeth are gone. But I’m unfilial. I have to go.”

Hearing this, Song Ci covered her mouth on the spot and cried silently on the other end of the phone.

Are we still unable to keep this child? 

Tears welled up in Han Zhan’s eyes.

After hearing Han Jun’s explanation, Han Zhan could understand that Han Jun had no choice. He was proud that his daughter had such a righteous heart. But that was his daughter! Thinking that he would never see this little baby again, Han Zhan’s heart ached.

Han Zhan’s eyes couldn’t help turning red. “Junjun, Father supports your decision. Father is proud of you.”

Hearing Han Zhan’s words, tears streamed down Han Jun’s face. “Goodbye, Father and Mother.”

Han Jun put down the phone, turned sideways, and said to Yan Qingxiu, “Do it.” She threw a silver dagger to Yan Qingxiu. Seeing that Yan Qingxiu’s hands were trembling, she gave Yan Qingxiu a comforting smile and told him, “Don’t be afraid. I’m a heartless person. Without a heart, I won’t die.” Han Jun was originally an evil spirit. Now that her magic power was strong, her life wouldn’t be in danger even if she returned the heart to Xu Qian.

At most, she would never be able to experience human emotions again.

Qu Jingtian’s soul was not complete because he was missing a heart. Only by returning this heart to Qu Jingtian could his soul be complete. Perhaps after this life ended, Qu Jingtian could still be revived.

But without this heart, Qu Jingtian would truly disappear from this world.

She had waited 1300 years not to wait for Qu Jingtian to turn into ashes!

Yan Qingxiu held the dagger and cried.

He cried as he said, “Master, without this heart, you won’t be able to feel the joy and sorrow of humans. Can a person without a heart be happy?”

Han Jun shook her head slightly. “It’s enough that he’s alive.”

She was an evil spirit and was born to be a cursed dirty thing. Qu Jingtian gave her a new life and brought her around the world. She experienced love and hatred like a real person.

She was satisfied.

“Qingxiu, don’t hesitate. Do it.”

“Master!” Tears streamed down Yan Qingxiu’s face as he stabbed the dagger at Han Jun…

–

When Xu Qian woke up, it was a dark night.

Han Jun was not around and Yan Qingxiu was not around either. He walked out of the room and felt that his body seemed to have become much stronger. He felt a slight pain in his chest, as if someone had forcefully opened his sternum and secretly stitched it up.

But there was not even a scar there.

Xu Qian massaged her chest as she walked downstairs.

“Little CEO Han?”

“Han Jun!”

Xu Qian yelled all the way to the first floor but didn’t find Han Jun. Instead, he saw Song Ci and Han Zhan. Han Zhan and his wife sat on the sofa in silence. Hearing the commotion, the couple looked up at Xu Qian.

Xu Qian saw them and hurriedly stopped. He instinctively tightened his bathrobe to cover his exposed chest. “Father, Mother, why are you here?”

Song Ci looked at Xu Qian with reddened eyes. She didn’t know how to tell Xu Qian about Han Jun.

Xu Qian looked at Song Ci’s crying eyes in confusion and felt very uneasy.

What exactly happened? 

Han Zhan decided to be that ruthless person and told Xu Qian the truth. “Xu Qian, Junjun has gone back.” With that, he closed his eyes because he didn’t dare to see Xu Qian’s reaction.

When Xu Qian heard this, he was stunned. He was such a smart person and knew what ‘go back’ meant.

“What happened?” Xu Qian asked calmly.

Neither Han Zhan nor Song Ci expected Xu Qian to be so calm.

They thought Xu Qian would go crazy after knowing the truth and deny that Han Jun had returned to the Aosheng Continent.

Xu Qian’s calmness made Song Ci and Han Zhan feel uneasy and even more upset. Han Zhan told him, “After Junjun recovered her true self, she returned her heart to you. She was too powerful and was expelled by this world’s consciousness. She has already returned to her original world.”

Xu Qian’s hand on his chest turned cold inch by inch.

So it was not an illusion that my chest hurt so much. 

At this moment, the Cinnabar Butterfly flew in from outside the door and stopped on Xu Qian’s shoulder. It fluttered its wings to send him a message. Xu Qian got the information he wanted. He waved his finger and the Cinnabar Butterfly disappeared.

Xu Qian took out his cell phone and sent a message to the group, informing the experts in the same profession to go to the location where the evil spirit was hiding. Then, Xu Qian looked up and said to Han Zhan, “Father, Mother, you guys stay here tonight. It’s not peaceful outside tonight. Don’t run around.”

With that, Xu Qian brought the Return to One Sword along and drove towards the center of the storm eye!

–

Wangdong City High School!

Although it was already summer vacation, the second-year students who were about to be promoted to the third year had already started school a month in advance and were tutoring in school. At this time, all the second-year students had already fallen asleep and were dreaming.

On the rooftop of the Year Three school building stood a skinny girl.

The girl was wearing a white shirt, but her body under the shirt was so thin that it looked like there was no meat. It was going to rain soon. The wind blew and the shirt flapped. It was empty inside.

There was a cloth bag beside the girl’s feet, but nobody knew what was inside.

The girl took off her sunglasses and looked at the dark clouds and lightning in the sky with her grayish-white eyes. She said in a strange tone, “That year, when you were bullied by Zhou Heng, your classmates didn’t think of comforting you. Instead, they all spread your videos like they were watching a joke and even sent messages to mock you. Lin Yutian, let’s destroy this place together!”

With that, the girl closed her mouth. After a while, her lips opened again. It was clearly the same person with the same mouth, but the voices coming from the front and back were completely different. “You lunatic! You can’t hurt them! I don’t hate them! I never hated them! I only hated Zhou Heng!”

“Little girl, you are too kind. Haven’t you heard of a saying? A good horse is ridden by someone, a kind person is bullied by someone! If not for that girl called Han Miao helping you, you would have died in prison!”

“Let us destroy this city together!”

Lin Yutian screamed in shock. “I don’t want it!”

A strange and terrifying smile appeared on Lin Yutian’s face. She chuckled sinisterly before muttering, “Whether you want it or not, that’s not up to you…” With that, she squatted down, opened the rope of the cloth bag, and revealed the contents.

It was actually the unconscious Mother Lin.

In order to activate the Six-Star Light Array, one had to sacrifice the life of the relative of the person who set up the array to activate it! “Little girl, after I recover my full strength, I will bring you back to my world. Over there, the strong are respected. It is much more exciting than over here!”

With that, the evil spirit raised its dagger and stabbed Mother Lin!

At this moment, Xu Qian and the rest finally arrived at the rooftop.

Seeing Mother Lin lying on the ground bleeding from her injuries, Master Chen Jing from Shaolin Sect scolded angrily, “Evil spirit! Don’t kill the innocent!”

Lin Yutian looked up and gave everyone an evil smile. The corners of her lips were about to reach her ears. “You’re all here?” Lin Yutian snorted disdainfully. “You think you can deal with me?”

Lin Yutian lazily raised her right hand. The dark clouds in the sky suddenly turned into skeletons. They rushed down from the sky and attacked Master Chen Jing and the rest.

A chaotic battle was inevitable!

Thunder rumbled non-stop. The sounds of fighting and killing were drowned out by the thunder and lightning. The students resting in the dormitory building in the distance didn’t know what happened here.

Lin Yutian watched them kill the lightning leisurely like an outsider watching a show. She was very relaxed.

Only when she saw Xu Qian standing at the back of the crowd with the Return to One Sword in hand, calmly looking at him, did the smile on her lips freeze. “Qu Jingtian…”

Lin Yutian suddenly realized that Qu Jingtian was much more powerful than the last time they met. She couldn’t help feeling puzzled. Qu Jingtian’s original ability was already very weak, but now, he actually looked slightly more powerful than when he was in the Aosheng Continent.

Why did he improve so quickly? 

But so what if Qu Jingtian’s ability had improved?

The current Xu Qian was no match for me at all!

Lin Yutian glanced at Mother Lin, who was lying on the ground on her last breath. He glanced in the other two directions and saw that those six directions had received the summoning of the array core. A faint light shot towards the sky.

Lin Yutian was overjoyed!

The Six-Star Light Array was about to succeed!

Lin Yutian seemed to have smelled the deliciousness of a large number of souls. She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. Then, she raised her right hand and pointed in Xu Qian’s direction with her index finger. She said with a smile, “Qu Jingtian, the Six-Star Light Array is about to be activated. It’s too late for you to stop me!”

Xu Qian tightened his grip on the Return to One Sword. He stared at the light shining from six different directions and knew that Lin Yutian was telling the truth. He walked out from the back of the crowd and looked at the evil spirit from three to four meters away.

The evil spirit was an evil entity from the Aosheng Continent. It possessed Lin Yutian’s body, and the laws of the universe were completely ineffective against her. The evil spirit had been recuperating for many years, and its strength was close to its peak. Ordinary people could not eliminate it at all.

Only he could eliminate it!

Xu Qian clenched the Return to One Sword tightly and pressed his chest. His eyes became more determined.

Seeing Xu Qian’s lonely gaze, the evil spirit was stunned for a moment. Then, it laughed out loud and insulted Xu Qian. “Qu Jingtian, give up. You are not my match! 1,300 years ago, you failed to destroy me. Now, you are even less of a match for me!”

“I know that this is your last life. The heart is the core of you cultivators. You gave the heart to that woman Yan Qingqiu and you reincarnated for another 13 lifetimes. Your soul is weak to the extreme and your ability is getting weaker and weaker. You are not my match at all!”

“You can only watch as I destroy this city! Destroy this world that you protect!”

“Qu Jingtian, open your eyes and take a look!”

The evil spirit raised its hands and shouted, “Today, I sacrifice my own mother’s life…” Before the evil spirit finished shouting, he saw an unbelievable scene.

That pitch-black Return to One Sword floated in midair. Xu Qian conjured a seal with one hand and looked at the Return to One Sword with a determined gaze. He muttered an obscure incantation. As he chanted, his figure became fainter and fainter. In the end, he actually merged with the Return to One Sword and turned into a pair of pitch-black bows and arrows!

Xu Qian actually sacrificed himself!

The Return to One Sword as an arrow and Xu Qian as a bow. That bow didn’t need anyone’s guidance. It automatically bent the bow and shot towards the evil spirit in the middle of the array core!

Instantly, the dark night was as bright as day!

Seeing this, Lin Yutian’s scalp went numb and every hair on her body stood up!

Danger! 

A terrifying force attacked, scaring the evil spirit out of Lin Yutian’s body. It turned to escape.

The moment the evil spirit escaped from Lin Yutian’s body, the huge bow in the air turned into Xu Qian again. Xu Qian slashed at the Return to One Sword and shouted, “Return to One Sword!” The Return to One Sword, who was only a few centimeters away from Lin Yutian’s chest, heard Xu Qian’s call. He turned and flew back into Xu Qian’s hand without hesitation.

After fusing with Xu Qian, the Return to One Sword understood Xu Qian’s thoughts better. He transformed into a gun according to Xu Qian’s will. Xu Qian aimed at the evil spirit and pulled the trigger!

The bullet left the shell and quickly shot at the evil spirit.

Before the evil spirit hiding in the dark clouds could rejoice, it was shot by that brilliant bullet. Xu Qian disappeared from the spot and merged with that bullet again. He collided wantonly in the evil spirit’s body and cut off every lifeline of the evil spirit.

The evil spirit let out a mournful roar in the air. The roar covered over and over again, piercing one’s eardrums.

Master Chen Jing and the rest chased away the lightning skeleton. When they heard that sharp cry, they couldn’t help covering their ears. Lin Yutian, who was unconscious on the ground, was directly injured by the evil spirit’s screams until blood flowed from her seven apertures.

A moment later, the screams gradually weakened.

Everyone looked up and saw that the dark clouds were gradually dispersing and the lightning was getting weaker and weaker. Above their heads, a long sword was strangling a ball of dark, thick fog. That thick fog kept struggling and struggled for nearly 10 minutes before collapsing.

After successfully killing the evil spirit, the Return to One Sword fell from the sky. When it landed, he turned into Xu Qian.

Seeing this scene, Master Chen Jing and the rest revealed shocked expressions.

“Master Xu!” They snapped out of their trance and hurried over to Xu Qian.

Xu Qian was very weak. He sat cross-legged on the ground and stared at Master Chen Jing and the rest. He said angrily, “Everyone, the evil spirit has been killed and the danger has been averted. We have completed our mission!”

“Master Xu, don’t speak. You must go to the hospital!”

Xu Qian waved his hand. “I don’t have much time left.” He could feel that his lifespan was coming to an end.

Hearing this, everyone remained silent.

Xu Qian’s face was very pale, but his eyes were shining with a scorching light. Xu Qian cupped his fists at everyone and said, “Everyone, the Xu Family’s young master is still very young. After I leave, please take care of some young masters.”

“Master Xu!”

Xu Qian heaved a long sigh and shook his head. His body grew weaker and weaker before finally disappearing from his original spot. Following that, the Return to One Sword also disappeared.

–

Aosheng Continent.

This was a frozen world, and also the cursed world of the Aosheng Continent.

A long, long time ago, there was no one on the Ice Domain Continent. This was originally the place where demon beasts lived. Only 1,300 years ago, when Yan Qingqiu was forced to hide in the Ice Domain Continent by all the cultivators, did the first human arrive.

To be precise, Yan Qingqiu was not human. She was an evil spirit born to bring misfortune to humans.

Under Yan Qingqiu’s leadership, the Ice Domain Continent became more and more lively. Here, humans and demon beasts lived in harmony. But following Yan Qingqiu’s death in the Great Tribulation of Ascension a thousand years ago, Yan Qingqiu’s eldest disciple also mysteriously disappeared. This harmonious continent gradually became chaotic.

Without Yan Qingqiu’s protection, the Ice Domain Continent was a fat piece of meat waiting to be slaughtered. The cultivators coveted the demon beasts on the Ice Domain Continent. They needed to capture demon beasts to be their mounts and sell their lives for them.

In order to obtain the ownership of the demon beasts, the cultivators of the Aosheng Continent started to attack the Ice Domain Continent.

The demon beasts of the Ice Domain Continent and their subjects tightened into a rope to resist the foreign enemies. But they were outnumbered. After hundreds of years of invasion, the Ice Domain Continent was still successfully broken through by the cultivators outside.

Only the big ice palace at the top of the snow mountain had not been broken through by the cultivators because of the protection of Yan Qingqiu’s ability.

Now, this Ice Domain Continent had already become the most chaotic place in the Aosheng Continent. Massacres and invasions were staged here every day. Some of the subjects that Yan Qingqiu brought back to the Ice Domain Continent to live were killed in battle, while others were slaughtered by cultivators.

Currently, there were not many native residents left on this mainland. They were all hiding at the foot of the mountain under the Great Ice Palace, hoping for the return of the Lord of the Ice Region, Yan Qingqiu, and the eldest disciple, Yan Qingxiu.

They firmly believed that the Master of the Ice Domain would return and help them drive away those disgusting cultivators!

On this day, a bell suddenly rang in the Great Ice Palace, which had been silent for a thousand years at the top of the snow mountain. Hearing the bell, everyone stopped what they were doing. They turned around and looked up at the top of the snow mountain, their eyes filled with confusion.

The bell on the Great Ice Palace rang? 

It had to be known that ever since the fall of the Lord of the Ice Region, the big bell that rang every morning was like it was in a deep sleep and never rang again. Meanwhile, some new children had never heard the bell.

Hearing this low bell, the children instinctively hid in their parents’ arms, thinking that the invader had attacked them again.

The bell rang non-stop for a total of 100 times.

The children were afraid, but the native citizens of the older generation looked excited.

The oldest old man suddenly knelt on the ground in excitement. He kowtowed to the side of the Great Ice Palace and shouted excitedly, “My king is back! My king hasn’t fallen!”

Hearing the old man’s call, everyone knelt down and kowtowed to the Great Ice Palace. They shouted, “Welcome back, our king!”

“Our king has returned. We await your arrival!”

“Our king has returned. We await your arrival!”

The calls of the citizens at the foot of the mountain reached the top of the mountain.

The woman lying on a chaise lounge with her eyes closed slowly opened her phoenix eyes. The moment she opened them, they were cold and threatening.

Yan Qingqiu stared at the sky outside the main door.

In an instant, she saw all the changes in the Ice Domain Continent over the past thousand years.

Upon seeing those smelly cultivators who had committed murder in her domain, Yan Qingqiu stood up. Step by step, she walked out of the spacious and cold palace. Standing in the corridor of the palace, she stared at the Terpsichore Flowers that had been destroyed by the cultivators at the edge of the Ice Domain Continent. Her eyes were filled with ruthlessness and bloodbath!

Damn it!

“Qi Xiao!”

Hearing Yan Qingqiu’s call, the demon king, Qi Xiao, who was sleeping at the bottom of the snow mountain, suddenly opened its golden eye. It had woken up and turned over underground. The commotion was so great that the entire Ice Domain Continent trembled.

Soon, everyone active in the Ice Domain Continent saw a vertical golden eye that suddenly appeared at the top of the big ice palace. That golden eye stared at every corner of the Ice Domain Continent with a dignified gaze, its eyes filled with murderous intent!

“It’s Demon King Qi Xiao!”

Seeing that golden eye, all the subjects at the foot of the mountain stood up and shouted the demon king’s name excitedly!

Demon King Qi Xiao’s figure gradually materialized in the void. In the distance, the cultivators stopped and looked up at the demon king in the sky.

It was a demon beast that looked like a qilin but had golden vertical pupils. Its body was as large as a medium-sized mountain. Those with high cultivation levels saw a light purple figure standing on Demon King Qi Xiao’s back.

No one could see that woman’s face, but they heard her cold, flat voice ring out across the entire continent.

“Those who trespass on our Ice Domain Continent will be executed!”

“Those who bully our citizens of the Ice Domain Continent, die!”

“Those who kill all the demons and fiends at will, die!”

“Those who trample the Fleeting Flower, die!”

As soon as the woman’s voice fell, a man in a long white robe quickly flew to the big ice palace. He held a huge fiery red bow and shot an arrow in all directions of the Ice Domain Continent!

The long arrow was like a rainbow as it flew in four different directions with flames. Wherever the long arrow passed, all the cultivators with shallow cultivations were turned into ashes and scattered in the air.

Seeing this shocking scene, some old cultivators flew in the air on their swords and murmured in shock, “It’s Supremacy Bathing Flame Yan Qingxiu!”

This was not the most shocking thing. What was even more shocking was yet to come.

That purple-dressed woman controlled the Demon King, Qi Xiao, to walk in the airspace of the Ice Domain Continent. Her palm rose and fell, and everything under her was instantly frozen into ice sculptures. Anyone who knew the Lord of Ice, Yan Qingqiu, knew that she was the most vicious person.

As she liked ice sculptures, she created a vicious move that could instantly freeze a person, let the ice and snow invade their bodies inch by inch, and slowly freeze them to death. During the entire process, the people who were frozen still retained their consciousness. Before they died, they would clearly experience the pain of their limbs and bones being swallowed by the ice and snow, and this pain would last for three days.

The Triple Deadly Art was one of Yan Qingqiu’s unique skills. In this world, only Yan Qingqiu was good at this move!

In just a few breaths, all the outsiders in the entire Ice Domain Continent were frozen into ice sculptures by Yan Qingqiu. Only a few experts who had reached the high-level Supremacy level took the opportunity to escape the Ice Domain Continent.

The number one Supremacy of the Aosheng Continent was actually so powerful!

“Yan Qingqiu is back!”

“Yan Qingqiu didn’t die!”

“That demoness Yan Qingqiu is back!”

The news of Yan Qingqiu’s return spread throughout the entire Aosheng Continent. Everyone was in a panic. Everyone gritted their teeth at Yan Qingqiu, but there was nothing they could do to her.

But at the thought that Yan Qingqiu usually only liked to stay in her Ice Domain Continent and rarely went out to cause trouble, everyone relaxed.

But they were wrong!

Yan Qingqiu had changed!

She no longer cowered in her Ice Domain Continent. She started to take the initiative to go out. She rode her demonic beast’s Qi Xiao, brought her disciple Yan Qingxiu and the remaining experts of the Ice Domain Continent, as well as those powerful demonic beasts, and started the days of fighting everywhere.

In just two months, Yan Qingqiu had subdued the twelve neighboring countries of the Ice Domain Continent. From her stance, it looked like she wanted to conquer the entire Aosheng Continent and step on it.

Yan Qingqiu’s actions had completely enraged all the cultivators in the world. All the top experts on the continent once again joined forces to denounce Yan Qingqiu. This time, they were fighting the righteous slogan of “Kill the evil spirit, Yan Qingqiu, and return the world peace.”

Yan Qingqiu held a black Startling Flower and sat in a corner of the palace in the Great Ice Palace. She looked at the cultivators on a big mountain at the outermost edge of the Ice Domain Continent. The cultivators who had teamed up to kill her were all at the Supremacy level. The strongest among them was the Supremacy Boundless.

This scene made Yan Qingqiu think of that scene 1,300 years ago.

What a familiar scene.

Under the mask, the corners of Yan Qingqiu’s lips slowly curled into a cold smile. She asked Yan Qingxiu behind her, “Xiu, how about you dominate this world with me?”

Yan Qingxiu frowned at his master, his heart aching.

His master, who had lost her human heart, had also lost her human feelings. She had become a true evil spirit, a greedy, bloodthirsty, natural destroyer without any emotions!

Yan Qingxiu lowered his head and replied, “Whatever Master wants to do, I will accompany you.”

“Okay.”

Yan Qingqiu stood up and casually threw away that Startling Flower. She looked at the tall mountain and murmured softly, “Then let’s start with the Immeasurable Venerable!” Although Yan Qingqiu couldn’t experience joy and love in the world, she had a hatred for the Immeasurable Venerable.

That damn hypocritical old man! 

Three days later.

The cultivators were all ready to attack the Great Ice Palace.

The temperature in the Ice Domain Continent was extremely low. This group of Supremacies had high cultivation levels. Although they had already reached the point where they were unafraid of the cold, they still frowned slightly in discomfort when they arrived at the Ice Domain Continent.

Before they arrived at the Great Ice Palace, the Boundless Supremacy led the way and shouted at the people inside. “Evil spirit fetus! Come out and die!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Qingqiu appeared. Her figure appeared out of thin air above the palace of the Great Ice Palace. She was wearing a mask and looking down at this group of people with her cold eyes.

Yan Qingqiu smiled playfully at the Immeasurable Venerable and asked him, “Old Man Immeasurable, why? Are you afraid that I will expose what you did to Qu Jingtian back then? After hearing that I am back, you can’t wait to kill me to silence me?”

The Immeasurable Venerable’s expression changed slightly.

The group of Supremacies behind him also looked at Immeasurable Venerable with suspicion and surprise.

The Immeasurable Venerable hurriedly changed the topic and shouted righteously, “Evil spirit fetus, don’t speak nonsense to bewitch the hearts of people! You’ve been showing signs continuously for nearly two months and caused the flames of war to soar. An evil spirit fetus like you shouldn’t exist! Everyone, listen to my orders. Kill the evil spirit fetus and uphold justice for the heavens!”

Hearing the command of the Immeasurable Venerable, everyone attacked Yan Qingqiu.

At this moment, Yan Qingxiu and the demonic beast Qi Xiao appeared together. They collided head-on with the other Supremacies and handed the Immeasurable Supremacy to Yan Qingqiu. Yan Qingqiu clenched her left hand in the void and a dark purple longsword materialized.

Yan Qingqiu, who had been raised by Qu Jingtian, was also best at using swords. This sword was a weapon that Qu Jingtian had personally forged for her called Heaven Shattering.

The Heaven-Shattering Sword had the powerful ability to cut apart heaven and earth. The moment it appeared, the air started to distort.

How could the Immeasurable Venerable not recognize this divine artifact?!

He noticed that the words “Grace Gifting” were carved on the sword and instantly gritted his teeth. “That brat really treated you well. He actually forged a divine artifact for you!”

Yan Qingqiu sneered. “Today, I will use the divine weapon he personally forged to kill you, this hypocritical old man!”

“Stop talking nonsense!”

The collision of the two super-powerful experts in the world today was very loud. They could lift seas and mountains with a raise of their hands, and could move clouds and rain with a raise of their hands. As the two of them fought, the saber and sword shadows were filled with danger. The people in the chaotic battle instinctively stopped their attacks and silently retreated to a relatively safe position to watch the battle.

The Immeasurable Supremacy had not entered the realm where he was allowed to ascend for 1,000 years. Yan Qingqiu had already sensed the summoning of ascension 1,000 years ago. In terms of ability, Yan Qingqiu was definitely the strongest.

In the beginning, the Immeasurable Venerable could still fight Yan Qingqiu. But after fighting for four hours, the Immeasurable Venerable finally showed signs of fatigue. He started to lose his strength, but Yan Qingqiu was still as imposing as ever.

“Change the Sun!” With Yan Qingqiu’s shout, the Heaven-Shattering Sword snatched the afterglow of the scorching sun hanging in the sky.

A huge fireball smashed towards the Immeasurable Venerable with a terrifying pressure. The Immeasurable Venerable hurriedly sat down and used all his Dharmic powers to form a protective barrier. However, the majestic power brought by the fireball descending from the sky was not something the Immeasurable Venerable’s ability barrier could withstand.

Bang!

The ground shook!

Pu! The energy barrier around the Immeasurable Venerable was shattered. He was struck by the fireball and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The clothes and hair of the Immeasurable Venerable were ignited by the fireball and his entire body instantly burned.

“Ah!” The Immeasurable Venerable turned into a fireball. His uncomfortable screams scared the other cultivators.

Yan Qingqiu held her sword in midair and watched expressionlessly as the Immeasurable Venerable was refined into a piece of charcoal by the scorching sun.

Yan Qingqiu still felt that it was not enough. She forcefully extracted the soul of the Immeasurable Venerable who was about to escape and crushed it. Only then did she turn around and stare coldly at those restless and timid cultivators in the distance. She asked loudly, “Next person who wants to die, step forward yourself!”

“…”

No one dared to take the initiative to walk out.

Yan Qingqiu added. “I’ll give you one minute. If you don’t leave now, you will stay in the Ice Domain Continent forever!”

Hearing this, the cultivators fled in all directions like kiwis who had fallen down a tree. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.

A crusade ended in the death of the Immeasurable Venerable.

Yan Qingqiu kicked the incomplete body of Immeasurable Venerable and said to Yan Qingxiu, “Crush it into ashes and sprinkle it at the place where the Startling Flower bloomed as fertilizer!”

“Yes, Master.”

…

After the death of the Immeasurable Venerable, Yan Qingqiu seemed to have lost interest in conquering the world. She became the woman who stayed in the Ice Domain Continent to retire in peace. But as she was raised, her stomach grew bigger as she was pregnant.

Yan Qingqiu was the only evil spirit in this world, and no one knew if an evil spirit’s pregnancy was the same as an ordinary person’s.

During the early stages of Yan Qingqiu’s pregnancy, she didn’t experience any sleepiness or vomiting. Only when her stomach was so big that it looked like a rubber ball and there was a little thing moving inside did Yan Qingqiu suspect that she was pregnant.

I and Xu Qian had only done it two to three times that afternoon. How could I get pregnant like that? 

Yan Qingxiu had been sent out by her to handle some matters recently. When he was summoned back to the Great Ice Palace, he saw his master’s bulging stomach and instantly widened his eyes in shock. “Master…”

Yan Qingqiu patted the seat beside her. “Sit.”

Yan Qingxiu sat down.

Yan Qingqiu reached out her wrist. “Let’s see if I’m pregnant.”

Hearing this, Yan Qingxiu’s heart skipped a beat.

Master is really calm.

Yan Qingxiu took Yan Qingqiu’s pulse for a moment. She was indeed pregnant. After confirming that Yan Qingqiu was pregnant, Yan Qingxiu didn’t know whether to congratulate his master or worry for him.

“Congratulations, Master. You are pregnant.” With that, seeing that his master didn’t answer, Yan Qingxiu couldn’t tell what was on Yan Qingqiu’s mind. He asked hesitantly, “Master, do you… want this child?”

Yan Qingqiu asked in disappointment, “Do you think he can still come back?”

Yan Qingxiu didn’t dare to answer, afraid that he would answer wrongly.

Yan Qingqiu touched her bulging abdomen and said, “Give birth.” Since the child was here, he had chosen her to be a mother. She couldn’t experience joy and love herself, but she would work hard to make her child grow up healthy.

She would try to raise this child well like Han Zhan and Song Ci had done.

Yan Qingqiu’s pregnancy took 18 months before it acted up. She had a daughter whose pupils were actually grayish-blue in color, exactly the same as her grandfather, Han Zhan!

Yan Qingqiu stared at her daughter’s gray-blue eyes and suddenly felt empty.

She wanted to meet her father and tell him that she had given birth to a beautiful little girl with gray-blue eyes like her father’s.

Yan Qingqiu was puzzled. I clearly didn’t have a human heart, so why did I miss him?

The child grew up day by day. In the winter when she was seven years old, there was an unprecedented snowstorm on the Ice Domain Continent. The Ice Domain Continent became exceptionally cold. The residents at the foot of the mountain all wrapped themselves in thick fur coats to resist the cold.

With the arrival of the cold world, the ice sculpture competition also started.

This year’s ice sculpture competition had up to 20,000 participants.

The competition was in full swing and the day of the finals was approaching. The child grabbed Yan Qingxiu’s hand and looked up at him. “Senior Brother, can you bring me to the foot of the mountain to see ice sculptures?”

Yan Qingxiu stared at the little girl’s swaying braids as she spoke. He felt pity for her and hurriedly carried her up. “If your mother agrees, I will bring you down the mountain.”

The little girl broke free from Yan Qingxiu’s arms and ran into the Great Ice Palace to find Yan Qingqiu.

After hearing her daughter’s request, Yan Qingqiu thought that it had been a few years since she went down the mountain to watch the ice sculpture competition, so she decided to bring her daughter down the mountain. “Let’s go down the mountain together.”

The little girl jumped up happily and skipped down the mountain with Yan Qingqiu to the ice sculpture competition.

The grand finals were held at a pilgrimage square at the foot of the mountain.

As far as the eye could see, there were several lifelike and exquisite sculptures standing on the square. There were a total of 20 people who had entered the grand finals. In the past years, Yan Qingxiu had replaced her to choose the champion. The participants who had won the championship would be allowed to enter the Great Ice Palace to carve and admire the ice sculptures for the Lord of the Ice Region.

This was a great honor, so all the contestants worked hard to win the championship.

Yan Qingqiu appeared at the foot of the mountain wearing a mask. Her imposing aura made it impossible for anyone to ignore her existence. After recognizing her as the Master of the Ice Region, the participants and the surrounding citizens were all very excited.

“Welcome, my king!”

Everyone knelt down on one knee and looked at Yan Qingqiu.

Yan Qingqiu led the little girl onto the pilgrimage square. She walked past the 20 ice sculptures and sized up each ice sculpture seriously. When she reached the 16th sculpture, her footsteps stopped.

It was an ice sculpture girl. She was not wearing the clothes of the Ice Domain Continent, nor was she wearing the clothes of any country in the Aosheng Continent. She was wearing the clothes of an Earth star, a flying dress, and a pair of high heels.

High heels were a style that didn’t exist in this world, so that piece stood out among a pair of competitions.

The little girl shook Yan Qingqiu’s finger and asked her, “Mother, who is she? She’s so beautiful.”

She is your mother.

Yan Qingqiu stared at the young girl ice sculpture and suddenly said, “Participant of No. 16’s work, step forward.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at that participant at the same time.

In the extremely cold weather of the heavy snow, that male participant was only wearing a white, wide-sleeved robe. On his back was a black sword, and a crane-shaped hairpin fixed his long, ink-black hair.

The man walked out of the crowd. Only then did everyone realize that the man was gorgeous and charming. One couldn’t bear to look away.

The man walked up to Yan Qingqiu and her daughter. His gaze swept across Yan Qingqiu’s masked face before landing on the little girl beside her. His Adam’s apple made a swallowing motion as he was slightly agitated.

The man took a step back and bowed respectfully to Yan Qingqiu. “Greetings, my King.”

Yan Qingqiu stared at the other party’s face that had long been engraved in her mind. After a long silence, she asked with a trembling voice, “The participant’s name.”

The man lowered his head slightly and replied, “Qu Jingtian.”

Yan Qingqiu’s breathing slowed down significantly. She squeezed her daughter’s hand tightly and asked, “Where did you come from?”

“Black Moon Nation.”

“Foreigner, why have you come to my Ice Domain Continent?”

Qu Jingtian gazed deeply at the little girl before saying, “My wife and daughter are here. I don’t dare not to come.”

Hearing Qu Jingtian’s reply, the little girl widened her gray-blue eyes. Qu Jingtian squatted down and looked at the little girl evenly. She asked her, “What’s your name?”

The girl said, “My name is Pangui.” The little girl looked up at her mother and saw that her mother’s attention was not on her. Only then did she dare to ask Qu Jingtian, “Who are you?”

Qu Jingtian was about to answer when she heard Yan Qingqiu say, “He is your father.”

The little girl was truly shocked. She looked at Qu Jingtian in shock and didn’t know what to say.

Qu Jingtian reached out and touched the goat horn braid on the little girl’s head. He said, “Pan Gui, Father has returned.”

After 1300 years apart, Qu Jingtian, who had experienced 13 reincarnations, finally returned to his Ah Qiu’s side. In this life, he would accompany her on the top of the snow mountain for the rest of his life.
