Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Behind the valley's small courtyard, beside the green bamboo forest, in front of the waterfall pool, Jingya faced the waterfall, silent.

The waterfall plunged straight down, crashing into the pool, making a rumbling sound, and the water droplets splashed high, sparkling and dazzling in the warm spring sun, like shattered diamonds.

"Aunt Jing, you don't need to worry."

"I'm not worried, I'm just angry!"

Jingya's voice was quite displeased. She faced the waterfall, leaving only her back to Jun Wuxie.

"When did Aunt Jing become so petty?" Jun Wuxie wore an expression as if he didn't know what had happened, and said, "Let me think, is it because I didn't let Aunt Jing speak just now, so you're angry?"

"Are you deliberately asking when you know the answer? Is it because of that matter?" Aunt Jing turned around, shaking her head helplessly, sat down on a bluestone by the pool, and said, "Do you want to face a mythical-level Half-Step Saint Emperor?"

"I want to try how strong the mythical level of this realm is, and by the way, see where my current limit is."

Jun Wuxie replied with a smile, his face full of ease.

"You know that's not what Aunt Jing cares about." Jingya got angry when she saw him pretending not to know, "You want to test the mythical-level Half-Step Saint Emperor in Biancheng, Aunt Jing doesn't object. But is that your real purpose? You want to send a message to those sects and lure them out. You want to fish, to lure out more mythical-level Half-Step Saint Emperors. But they can't keep coming to your door, they're not fools. You're also leaving Qingzhou soon, how will you deal with those strong enemies then?"

"With your strength, facing one mythical-level Half-Step Saint Emperor is already the limit, maybe you can still protect yourself, but facing two or more, there is almost no chance of survival!"

Jingya was concerned and confused, and her demeanor at this time no longer had the elegance she usually possessed.

Jun Wuxie smiled and said, "Aunt Jing's worries are actually unnecessary. Also, Aunt Jing, such an elegant woman, should still restrain her emotions, otherwise it will be too damaging to her elegant image."

"You're still laughing, still being glib-tongued?" Jingya bit her red lip lightly, hammered him twice, gnashing her teeth, and said, "Aunt Jing is angry now, what elegance or no elegance!"

"Angry?" Jun Wuxie moved his face forward, and said, "Let me see, it does look like you're angry…"

Seeing that she was about to lose her temper, Jun Wuxie hurriedly said, "Aunt Jing is worried about me being in danger, but there's really no need. Not to mention mythical-level Half-Step Saint Emperors, even if mythical-level Saint Emperors come, they can't do anything to me."

"Huh?" Aunt Jing showed a strange look, looking at him puzzled: "Why?"

"Why? Because there is a female powerhouse by my side with immortal beauty and jade bones, all-consuming beauty, and unparalleled elegance, even mythical-level Saint Emperors are no match for her."

"Are you talking about Mu Ciyin?"

"No."

Jun Wuxie shook his head.

"Not Mu Ciyin?"

A hint of vigilance appeared in Jingya's eyes, and she said, "Which other female powerhouse is by your side that Aunt Jing doesn't know about? Who is she?"

"She is a very good person to me, and also a very important person to me."

A look of warmth appeared in Jun Wuxie's eyes, his smile was warm, and his tone of voice was very gentle.

"Oh."

Aunt Jing suddenly felt a little lost when she heard him say this.

She had the feeling that someone had snatched Jun Wuxie away from her.

After so many years of dependence, aren't they very important people in each other's hearts?

But he said such things about other people in front of her.

"Does Aunt Jing want to know what she looks like?"

Jun Wuxie smiled very brightly, very brilliantly, his smile was incomparably warm, like a spring breeze, but Jingya did not feel any warmth.

She forced a smile, without responding, because she was lost in her heart.

His warm smile was not blooming for her, but for a woman she had never heard of.

She really didn't understand, who could it be?

She knew everyone around Jun Wuxie, but she didn't know this one person.

He was dating her behind her back, it seemed that he did have an extraordinary affection for that woman.

Whether it was family affection or love between a man and a woman, in short, it was very special, surpassing the affection that she and he had shared for so many years.

Jun Wuxie looked at Jingya, and then took out a piece of sacred-grade cyan jade from his Na Ring, and said, "I will carve out her appearance for Aunt Jing to see."

"Okay."

Jingya tucked her hair, her movements were very elegant, and a smile appeared on her face.

When Jun Wuxie lowered his head and concentrated on carving the jade statue, she secretly grinded her teeth in her heart, thinking jealously, who wants to see it.

Jun Wuxie carved very carefully, very attentively, all his mind was on the cyan jade in his hand.

The cyan jade was five inches long, almost the length of a palm.

At this time, under the finger light thinner than hair strands that permeated from Jun Wuxie's fingertips, the jade shavings of the cyan jade fell rustling, and it gradually turned into a female's prototype.

When Jun Wuxie was carving, he first carved the limbs, hair, corners of the skirt, and so on.

As for the face, it was just a rough outline, and the positions of the facial features had always been blank.

Obviously, he planned to carve the facial features last.

Jingya watched his focused expression from the side, and the more she saw him immersed, the tighter her moth eyebrows became furrowed.

Just carving a statue, was it necessary to be so focused, with all his mind invested in it, as if he was isolated from other things in the world, his eyes were only on the jade statue being carved, perhaps even she beside him had been completely ignored, even forgotten that she was still by his side.

Jingya thought like this in her heart, and no longer had the heart to watch Jun Wuxie carve the jade statue.

Her moth eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and there was a trace of unresolved sorrow between her eyebrows, sitting on the bluestone, looking at the snow-white training-like waterfall crashing down, the wind carrying the moisture of the pool water, messing up her hair, and there was a chance to stick it on her cheeks, even embedded in between her lips.

She didn't seem to notice, and was in a daze like this.

I don't know how long it took, but Jun Wuxie, who was concentrating on carving the jade statue, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile.

The cyan jade in his hand had now completely turned into the appearance of a woman.

This was an extremely beautiful woman, all-consuming beauty, unparalleled elegance, and could make people's minds intoxicated at just one glance.

Turning his head, he saw Jingya staring at the waterfall in a daze.

"Aunt Jing, it's carved."

Jun Wuxie said with a smile, waving the jade carving in front of her, "Do you want to see it?"

Jingya勉强 smiled, her eyes falling on his hand.

Because his hand was covering it, she couldn't see the appearance of the jade carving.

"Why do I feel like Aunt Jing is very lost, which ignorant person dares to make my Aunt Jing angry, if I find out, see how I deal with him!"

Jun Wuxie looked angry.

Jingya knew that he was deliberately asking when he knew the answer, knowing everything in his heart but pretending not to know, thinking about it, she became even more annoyed, and couldn't help but glare at him.

"Bring it here, Aunt Jing wants to see, which enchantress…" She seemed to feel that the wording was inappropriate and lacked elegance, and immediately corrected her wording: "Which extraordinary woman can make you so concerned!"

While speaking, she reached out and took the jade carving from Jun Wuxie's hand, and when she lowered her head to look at it, her expression instantly froze, and her emotions took a one hundred and eighty-degree turn.

I saw that the female jade carving in her hand was wearing a green feather palace dress, with beautiful feather flowers dotted on the skirt, her figure was slender and graceful, her green hair was tied into an elegant bun on the top of her head, and then it fell down, hanging behind her like a waterfall, her facial features were exquisite and perfect, the outline lines were soft, the corners of her mouth were slightly smiling, and her eyes were focused and energetic, every micro-expression between the facial features revealed elegance.

She just lowered her head and looked at it like this, her lips slightly pursed, and her slender white palms gently caressed the jade carving.

"Does Aunt Jing like it?"

Jun Wuxie smiled slightly.

"Like it, Aunt Jing likes it so much～" Jingya's voice was particularly soft, just like her slender hand caressing the jade carving, as gentle as brushing on people's hearts.

"But Aunt Jing seemed very unhappy just now."

Jun Wuxie deliberately teased, but in fact, how could he not know why Aunt Jing was emotionally lost?

He just wanted to tease her.

"Heh～" Jingya raised her head suddenly when she heard him mention what happened just now, her face showing displeasure, "You still say, you bad guy, you did it on purpose, you're happy only if you make Aunt Jing sad, right?"

She said this in her mouth, but there was an undisguisable joy in her eyes.

"This matter can't be blamed on me, it's Aunt Jing you who doesn't trust me, I'm actually quite sad. We came to the Upper Realm together, we depend on each other, there is nothing that I hide from Aunt Jing. But Aunt Jing doesn't trust me very much, so she thinks there are secrets hidden from you…"

He sighed deeply after saying that, his expression full of loneliness.

"Wuxie… Aunt Jing didn't…" Jingya heard him say this, looking at his lonely face, she immediately felt guilty and rushed forward to hug him, and said, "It's Aunt Jing's fault, I shouldn't have doubted you, Aunt Jing was wrong, don't be sad, okay?"

She was both self-blaming and flustered, but she didn't know that Jun Wuxie had a triumphant smile on his face at this time.

But he still let out a helpless sigh in his mouth, and said, "Aunt Jing always admits her mistakes the fastest, but she will continue to make mistakes afterwards, and the words she promised me don't count. Who said before that they would listen to me in everything, but today they got angry with me and suspected me. Aunt Jing, do you think I'm a failure as a person, even the people I depend on don't trust me…"

"It's Aunt Jing's fault, but Aunt Jing is worried about your safety and doesn't want you to face strong enemies alone, so she tried to change your decision by being angry. Because Aunt Jing knows that if I persuade you normally, you won't listen…"

"Then don't persuade."

Jun Wuxie separated from Jing Ya and said, "What happened today, Aunt Jing, made me very sad, so Aunt Jing should be punished!"

"Ah?" Jing Ya didn't seem to expect him to say that, but then she complied with him: "However you want to punish Aunt Jing, Aunt Jing will accept it."

"I sentence Aunt Jing to stay by my side forever, and she is not allowed to leave without my permission!"

"Wuxie, this matter..."

Hearing these words, Jing Ya immediately understood Jun Wuxie's purpose. She shook her head, very resistant.

"What's this? Is Aunt Jing going to break her word again? How many of the things you promised me can you actually do?"

Jun Wuxie's attitude was no longer as gentle as before. His voice rose, and his attitude became much more forceful.

"Wuxie, listen to Aunt Jing, except for this matter..."

"Aunt Jing, I don't want to hear anything else. I'm just asking you, do you agree or not?"

"Wuxie, Aunt Jing can't agree to you..."

"Jing Ya!" Jun Wuxie's voice sank, and he directly called her name. Jing Ya was startled by his voice. Meeting his sharp gaze, she found that she didn't dare to look him in the eye and hurriedly looked away.

"You want to defy me, huh? Let me put it this way: you have no choice but to agree. You must stay with me!"

"Wuxie, don't force Aunt Jing, okay? It will kill you. You know Aunt Jing..."

"I only know that you can only stay by my side in the future. There is no other choice, and you cannot have other choices!"

He held Jing Ya's hand tightly.

Aunt Jing tried to pull away but couldn't, so she struggled a little. "You're hurting Aunt Jing."

She didn't dare to resist with her true energy, afraid of hurting him.

"I said, you can only listen to my arrangements! Come with me!"

Jun Wuxie said, directly pulling Jing Ya into the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace.

"This is the space of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace, an Emperor artifact. So, inside here, Aunt Jing, you are absolutely safe. The Heavenly Dao cannot sense your existence. What else is there to worry about?"

"It's naturally safe here, but Aunt Jing can't stay here forever. Aunt Jing possesses the Dao Fruit of the previous life's Heavenly Dao and needs to be in the world, without any special objects isolating her, to gradually awaken the Dao Fruit. Therefore, Aunt Jing has to go out and comprehend the world every once in a while. As the Dao Fruit awakens, the Heavenly Dao's perception will become more and more sensitive. At that time, you will be drawn into this vortex!"

Jing Ya didn't want to bring such great danger to Jun Wuxie.

Originally, she wanted to help Jun Wuxie guard the dynasty. When the Dao Fruit gradually awakened to a more dangerous stage, she would leave and enter some secret places, perhaps to escape this calamity, live to the time when she could fight against the Heavenly Dao, or live to the time when Jun Wuxie could fight against the Heavenly Dao.

If she unfortunately died, at least it wouldn't implicate him.

So, after awakening her memories and knowing her past life, she was very clear that her future was very渺茫.

"That's fine then. Since Aunt Jing is so determined, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Then you promise Aunt Jing not to use that method to lure Myth-level Half-Step Saint Emperors."

"Aunt Jing, don't worry about this matter. Don't interfere in my affairs."

Hearing him say this, Jing Ya immediately showed a wry smile and said, "Are you angry at Aunt Jing, aren't you?"

Jun Wuxie pulled her back outside, still in front of the waterfall.

He looked at the rippling pool water and said, "Aunt Jing, you should leave. Since you are worried that the Heavenly Dao will bring disaster to us, you might as well leave earlier. Anyway, your body is now healed, and there is no need to stay with me anymore."

"Okay, Aunt Jing will leave in a few days."

Jing Ya said this, and she decided to immediately go to Hanzhou and slaughter the high-level members of the six major sects. This would solve Jun Wuxie's current crisis, and she could leave with peace of mind without worrying about implicating him in the future.

If it were other opponents, she wouldn't be so decisive.

The opponent is the current Heavenly Dao, an existence so strong that it is hard for the cultivators of the Upper Realm to imagine!

"Well, it's been many years since I saw Qingyu. I should go to the Demon Clan to see her. Aunt Jing, when are you leaving? How about we travel together for a while?"

Hearing these words, Jing Ya immediately felt a sense of suffocation.

She knew that Jun Wuxie must have guessed her thoughts, so he said this.

"Do you really want to force Aunt Jing like this?"

She felt deeply powerless, struggled in her heart for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, saying, "Are you sure? Really don't regret it? Aren't you afraid that Aunt Jing will implicate you? It's really possible that you will die! If you die, what will it mean for those who care about you? Have you thought about it?"

Jun Wuxie suddenly turned around. Jing Ya was caught off guard and almost bumped into him, so she took two steps back.

He followed closely, causing Jing Ya to retreat continuously until her body leaned against the emerald bamboo before stopping.

"Aunt Jing, I don't understand why you always have so much nonsense to say. I thought we shouldn't have this nonsense between us anymore. It's meaningless! You have sworn more than once that you would listen to me in everything, but at the same time, you have broken your promise more than once. I am now telling you very solemnly that this is the last time you will break your promise in front of me. There will be no next time, no matter what the reason, I will not give you any more chances!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes and expression were very solemn, and every word he said was very serious and earnest.

Seeing his expression and hearing his tone, Jing Ya didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little flustered and uneasy.

She knew that she had really angered him today.

But was she wrong?

She just didn't want him to be in danger.

"I don't need you to treat me well in a way that you think is good for me. I only need you to interact with me in a way that I approve of. You can say I'm very domineering, but I'm just that domineering!"

Jun Wuxie's eyes were completely devoid of the gentleness he usually showed her, but were full of sharpness, anger, and even coldness.

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Jing Ya standing under the bamboo forest, leaning against the emerald bamboo in a daze.

He really couldn't bear to see any more misfortunes befalling any of his important people. He would never let this kind of thing happen again in this lifetime.

The scene outside the Great Zhou Imperial City that year was still vivid in his mind, so heartbreaking and lung-splitting, becoming a permanent scar engraved on his heart.

In the cataclysmic torrent, there were also old friends who died because of him.

I wonder how the Azure Sky is now, whether it has recovered.

I must go down to the Lower Realm in a while to take a look at the Heavenly Dao and understand the situation.
