Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

After a brief moment of surprise, a smile appeared on Zhuque's face, and the worry she had felt earlier eased at that moment.

She had thought that if the young master intervened, there would be a certain degree of certainty in stopping the princess, though she wouldn't dare say it would definitely succeed.

She knew her personality too well; even in the Immortal Ancient Era, even her father rarely managed to change her decisions.

But now, her confidence in him had greatly increased!

"Aunt You, tell me, is there something else going on with Qingxue?"

Intelligent as Jun Wuxie was, he naturally thought of this, otherwise Aunt You wouldn't have asked like this.

"The princess has decided to go to the Beginningless Era again to explore the secrets of the Abyss Plague and find its source. Aunt You can't stop her, so I can only rely on you."

"She still wants to go?"

Jun Wuxie's expression turned grim. He had disagreed with Ye Qingxue going to the Beginningless Era before, but he hadn't known at the time, so he couldn't stop her, because what she was going to do in the Beginningless Era was too dangerous.

The facts proved that it was indeed dangerous; she was afflicted by the Abyss Plague.

Although the Abyss Plague virus in her body had been resolved, who could guarantee that she could resolve it again if she was afflicted by such a terrifying thing next time?

She was already in a weakened state, her strength less than one-tenth of her peak. She had already encountered danger once, how could she go again in this state?

"No wonder she's avoiding me! So that's why! Aunt You, take me to see her!"

Jun Wuxie said with a dark face, exploring the truth and source of the Abyss Plague was very important and necessary, but it didn't have to be done now!

There had to be adequate preparation, there had to be certainty!

At the very least, she needed to restore her strength to its peak state, and she had to break through a few more minor realms, going further in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, otherwise going to explore the root of the plague virus would almost certainly be a death sentence!

"Yes, Aunt You will take you to her, but Aunt You won't accompany you. Young master, no matter what method you use, you must stop her, otherwise the young master may lose your little Nannan forever."

Jun Wuxie nodded without saying anything. Of course, he knew the seriousness of the matter!

Although she was a Heavenly Emperor, with unimaginable power, and he was just a Saint Realm cultivator, he would do everything in his power to stop her from going to the Beginningless Era again!

Zhuque didn't say anything more, took him and disappeared in front of the Zhenyu Tower, and instantly appeared in a mysterious space inside the tower.

The scenery here was beautiful, with green mountains and clear waters, full of verdant greenery, floating white clouds, and steaming clouds.

This internal world was where Zhuque had previously helped Ye Qingxue heal.

She brought him into the valley.

Ye Qingxue was there. He saw her standing by a clear lake in the valley, dressed in white like snow, her black hair flying, leaving him with a beautiful back view.

Green mountains and clear waters, a beautiful woman like a painting, formed a beautiful and dreamlike landscape.

"Young master, everything depends on you."

Zhuque grasped Jun Wuxie's hand, her golden eyes filled with deep expectations.

"Aunt You, leave it to me."

Jun Wuxie said calmly.

Zhuque stared into his eyes, understood everything in his eyes, nodded slightly, and disappeared before his eyes, leaving this place.

After Zhuque left, Jun Wuxie took a deep breath, trying to adjust his state of mind and emotions, before taking steps towards the figure standing by the lake.

She was very quiet, so quiet that she seemed unaware of his arrival.

He walked to her back, less than a meter away from her, but she still didn't speak, like a perfect jade sculpture.

He didn't speak either, just quietly staring at her back, maintaining this state for a long time.

"Since Aunt You has already told you, if you're here to persuade me, give up. I won't change my decision."

The cold voice broke the silence, and she finally spoke first.

"Do you have to make it impossible to have a conversation the moment you open your mouth?"

Jun Wuxie stepped forward and stood side by side with her, saying, "Why do you have to disguise yourself in front of me? Also, you're wrong. I'm not here to persuade you, I'm here to stop you."

"You can't stop me, so doing anything is futile. I have to go to the Beginningless Era again."

Ye Qingxue didn't look at him, still facing the lake, standing against the wind, a bronze mask concealing her unparalleled beauty.

"This time, you were already in great danger."

"It's not as serious as you think. The problem has been solved."

Ye Qingxue's cold voice made light of the matter of being afflicted by the plague.

Jun Wuxie didn't respond, came in front of her, and blocked her view.

She just looked at him like that, her deep eyes like two deep pools, calm and unwavering, yet infinitely profound, making it impossible to read any inner emotions from her eyes.

Jun Wuxie also stared at her, their eyes met, and he felt like he was staring into an abyss, feeling like he was about to be swallowed.

This was the first time he had such a feeling when facing her.

Obviously, she had deliberately restrained the gentleness she used to show in front of him.

But even if her eyes were deeper, even if her status and strength were higher, to him, she was still the little Nannan who always followed him, infinitely dependent and attached to him.

Therefore, in front of her, he always had a closeness and intimacy engraved in his bones, and he believed that she felt the same way towards him. In the past, her various performances had already proved everything.

Jun Wuxie didn't continue to remain silent in the face of each other.

He reached out and touched the mask that concealed her peerless beauty.

Her body swayed slightly, as if she wanted to dodge, but for some reason, she didn't do so in the end.

She stood quietly, motionless like a jade sculpture, allowing his hand to touch the bronze mask, and then took the mask off her face.

Without the mask's concealment, her world-shattering beauty was presented before his eyes.

Her beauty was beyond doubt, and all the words in the world that describe beauty could not describe even a fraction of such a peerless face.

Her beauty surpassed the limits of beauty in the world, and it was simply indescribable, a dreamlike beauty.

Even Mu Ciyin, who had dominated the Starry Sky for hundreds of thousands of years in the Upper Realm with her beauty, was inferior to her!

Aunt You's mature, noble, and peerless beauty was also not as beautiful as her.

"You are a Heavenly Emperor, but your face is so pale, which shows how terrible the Abyss Plague is. Your denial of these things to me cannot change the facts, nor can it dispel the worries in my heart."

Jun Wuxie looked at the extremely beautiful face in front of him, which was so pale and bloodless, and felt very distressed.

"Does Nannan really want to make big brother worry?"

Jun Wuxie's tone changed, with pampering and sadness, his eyes filled with pity.

At this moment, the scene of his first encounter with Little Nannan flashed in his mind again.

The little pitiful girl who was begging in the streets, wearing shoes and clothes with holes, standing in the cold wind on the street, shivering from the cold, hungry, and still being bullied.

"I…"

Ye Qingxue's delicate body trembled involuntarily when she heard the name Nannan.

She could no longer maintain her cold and indifferent appearance, and there were obvious emotional fluctuations in her deep eyes.

Throughout her life, she was obsessed with the experience in the Divine Ancient World, which became the most precious memory in her life, the most beautiful and saddest years engraved in her heart.

In those years, helpless, she met a big brother who loved her and cherished her with all his heart, but it was also those years that her beloved big brother left her with a bronze mask, emptying her entire world.

"Don't go to the Beginningless Era anymore, will Nannan listen to big brother?"

Jun Wuxie held her beautiful face in his hands, his tone and expression exactly the same as when he spoke to Little Nannan back then.

She didn't respond, just stared at him, her deep beautiful eyes gradually filled with tears.

"Big brother left Nannan behind that year, why can't Nannan leave?"

There was a bit of a temperamental tone in her words and expression. She had always been brooding about that matter, and she had not completely let it go until now.

She knew that he had to go back then, but when she thought of the days of fear and despair after he left, she couldn't be calm.

The Heavenly Emperor was not a heartless person, but her state of mind was strong, and it was difficult to feel emotional fluctuations.

And Jun Wuxie was her deepest obsession in this life.

In front of him, she never regarded herself as a Heavenly Emperor. How much she wanted to return to those years, when she was still Little Nannan, she could not think about anything, she only needed to be by his side every day, hiding in his arms, being loved and pampered by him.

But after all, she was now a Heavenly Emperor, with too many responsibilities on her shoulders, and she couldn't ignore everything.

Because if she didn't do everything to fight for it, eventually everything would be wiped out, including her most cherished "big brother."

"Nannan, I'm sorry, back then…"

Jun Wuxie didn't expect her to mention the matter of that year again, and he didn't know how he could make her let it go.

Ye Qingxue covered his mouth and shook her head gently.

She didn't blame him, but her heart couldn't let go of the pain of those years.

"Anyway, I said you're not allowed to go, so you can't go! If you insist on going, I'll have Aunt You take me to the Beginningless Era to find you! You know Aunt You will agree on this matter, even if the Zhenyu Tower goes out of control!"

"You…"

Ye Qingxue didn't expect him to use this method to stop her.

"If you're not obedient, you'll get spanked!"

"You dare…" Ye Qingxue blurted out, with a hint of shyness and anxiety, "Although I am your Nannan, but Nannan has grown up, you are not allowed to do this!"

"Then you be a good girl and stay in the Zhenyu Tower to recuperate. You're not allowed to go anywhere. When the day comes that your strength is fully restored, and you've taken a few more steps in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, I absolutely won't stop you."

"Alright, I promise you."

Ye Qingxue let out a helpless sigh.

"Swear it! Swear it on my soul, that if you don't keep your word and go to the Primordial Era again, you'll let me be swallowed by darkness and fall into the abyss forever!"

"No! Such an oath cannot be made lightly! Darkness truly exists, and it has origins and connections with the heavens of the Bright Universe. Don't do this. I promise you, I will definitely do it!"

Ye Qingxue gritted her teeth, looking at him with some annoyance.

"This is my Nannan. Not like those days before, when you were always deliberately pretending in front of me."

Jun Wushang revealed a knowing smile, grasping her soft, fair hand.

Ye Qingxue's fingers actively threaded through the gaps between his warm, large fingers, interlocking with his, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Not going isn't so bad, I suppose.

Although she desperately wanted to find out the root cause of the plague virus and where it came from…

However, he opposed it so strongly. With his stubborn personality, if she didn't listen to him, he would definitely do what he said.

The Primordial Era is too dangerous. How could she let him, who is only in the Saint Realm, go to such a terrifying era!

What could be more important than him?

In other worlds and time-spaces, she wouldn't be afraid of him taking risks because she and Aunt You were there, and everything was under control; the Primordial Era was different, it would be beyond control, and she couldn't bear such consequences.
