Chapter 1648 “Bai Xiao (2)”

“I’m always ready to be your wife… if you want me to.” She says, eyes blazing with hope for the answer.

Not turning to face the old witch, Chu Yi God continues to have his back on her, “You are overthinking things. I didn’t kill you because there’s still value in your existence.”

If it weren’t for Yun Ruo Xi, Bai Yan wouldn’t have gone to the demons.

If it weren’t for Yun Ruo Xi, he wouldn’t be in this precarious state of not being able to see her again for a full millennium.

He hates this woman standing behind himself. It’s past the point of being mere emotions anymore, in fact, it’s burned into his bones that he would tear her soul apart.

“No, I don’t believe it, I know you have feelings for me!” The truth suddenly sent the old witch into a hysterical burst of self-denial, “Yi God, I love you, don’t you know I did everything for your sake? Why won’t you accept me, why?”

She has lost to Bai Yan once, this time she won’t lose again!

That remark finally got the Celestial Lord to face her, even so, those eyes were that of strangers with no warmth, only cold indifference.

“What you do is always for yourself.”

Boom!

There seemed to be a lightning strike manifesting above their heads, striking the old witch until her heart’s a charred thick pile of dust. It became difficult to breath like she’s suffering from incredible pain in the chest.

Clearly what the man said hurts, a ruthless rebuke to the lie that’s keeping her going after losing it all.

Again, the impressionable picture of their first meeting relapses back into her mind like always when she’s about to lose her mind. It’s the image of young love, the most important time to shape a person’s character.

“Then why did you make me fall in love with you? I fell in love with you, yet you won’t take responsibility!” Tears filled those eyes as she cried this out aloud.

Not moved in the slightest: “If only… you had never fallen in love with me, that would’ve been better.”

That way then those tragedies from a thousand years ago would not have happened.

Bai Yan would not hate him to the core….

Yun Ruo Xi’s trembling body instantly froze over like an iceberg. If her heart had been pierced a thousand times by his harsh refusal, then the words just now was a crushing blow to her sanity.

Did he… did he just say he wished I hadn’t fallen in love with him?

HAHA! Funny, how laughable!

In her lapse of having a breakdown for the next while, Yun Ruo Xi started to ooze a foul aura that seeped into the environment. It’s disgusting, turning everything it touches to death and rot. If only the Celestial Lord had remained after pushing her over the edge, if he did then he would instantly strike her down. This transformation from the old witch was far too corrupt even for Chu Yi God to turn a blind eye. Sadly, the man had left earlier and didn’t witness the change.

“Bai Yan, if it weren’t for you then Chu Yi God would’ve fallen in love with me. You clearly have the demon king already, why are you stealing what’s mine? I won’t ever let you go, never!”

Yes, everything that’s wrong in her life was the fault of Bai Yan. It’s not her own deceit and lies, it’s not her own treacherous scheming and foul heart, it’s all someone else’s!

Vowing for revenge was one thing, actually carrying it out was another. Yun Ruo Xi was no fool. She knows Bai Yan and Di Cang remains out of her reach. Getting up from the ground through much struggle, she sneered at the dark open sky and disappeared through a rip in the fabric of reality.

……

Ever since the cold lifeless bodies of Keeper Ling and Keeper Zun were thrown back over to the Celestial Palace, those remaining defenders had fallen into a great mess of panic and fear. Bai Yan kept her promise of course, she herself didn’t seek revenge on those people. However, that didn’t stop the demons rearing for the chance of revenge. As a result of this instability and the disappearances of the other Keepers, the entire Celestial Realm has fallen into rampant strife and danger.
