Chapter 2496 - 2496 Stealing a Lifetime, Turning Old Together

2496 Stealing a Lifetime, Turning Old Together

Her voice was soft, but her words were heavy. Just like that, she handed over all her trust and love.

Chu Liuyue thought that there was probably no one in this world who was better at lying than him.

“Rong Xiu, you said before that you came today with the intention of dying… You were also lying to me, right?” She looked at him, her eyes flickering with tiny specks of light, extremely low expectations, and desires that even she hadn’t realized.

Rong Xiu’s lips moved slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard that ancient voice coming with endless pressure. “As the Emperor, Rong Xiu should uphold justice, but he went against the Heavenly Dao for his own selfish desires! Today, he must die! However, you don’t have to worry. After he dies, you’ll be next!”

Rong Xiu suddenly looked up in shock. “She has already cut off her life from the evil spirit. Moreover, everything here was done by me alone. Why is she implicated?!”

“Rong Xiu, at this point, you’re still trying to protect her? Don’t forget that I already ordered you to kill her 10,000 years ago! You’ve already delayed her lifespan by 10,000 years. Isn’t that enough?”

“Today, you and her are both going to die!” Every word was firm, resolute, and couldn’t be disobeyed!

Rong Xiu slowly clenched his fists. I took the initiative to die today to leave her a way out, but… From the looks of it, it seems impossible…

A dark light flashed across his eyes.

At this moment, on the light screen, a stream of light suddenly turned into an arrow and tried to stab Chu Liuyue!

Chu Liuyue knew that something was wrong, but under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, she couldn’t retreat in time!

In a moment of desperation, she used all the strength in her body to dodge to the side!

Swoosh!

The sharp arrow brushed past her neck!

A bloody mark instantly appeared on her slender and fair neck!

When the dark red blood was reflected in Rong Xiu’s eyes, it instantly burned like a prairie fire!

Then, flames burned in the depths of his deep eyes. One was dark, and the other was bright gold!

An extremely terrifying aura suddenly erupted from his body!

Chu Liuyue was shocked. She looked over and met his extremely cold gaze!

Boom!

The black and gold flames instantly surged out of Rong Xiu’s body and overturned him!

Her heart sank. “Rong Xiu!”

The messy bloodstains were quickly burned away. Broken bones and open wounds were also quickly healed by the flames!

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change.

Countless pairs of eyes watched this scene in extreme shock and couldn’t recover for a long time.

On the other hand, Yun Muchen suddenly narrowed his eyes. “Huh? This is…”

The flames burned fiercely, and Rong Xiu’s figure gradually blurred. However, the aura that kept spreading around him was still rising crazily!

Crack!

There was a cracking sound. It was the powerful light screen being instantly shattered by the impact of this power!

Chu Liuyue’s heart trembled. The next moment, she saw the black and gold flames quickly condense into a sword!

Rong Xiu’s figure appeared in her eyes again!

The black brocade robe was already extremely damaged, but the bloodstains on it seemed to have been burned clean.

His body under his clothes was tall and straight. All his injuries had disappeared!

Swoosh!

He waved his wrist, and the sword instantly cut through space.

The hand holding the sword had also returned to normal. It was strong and powerful, with distinct joints. There were no longer those fine bloody wounds.

The most different thing was his eyes. Those deep and clear eyes were already completely occupied by those two balls of flames!

With just one look, it made people subconsciously submit to him! Compared to the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, it was actually… not inferior!

A ridiculous and bold thought suddenly surged into Chu Liuyue’s mind. Rong Xiu… broke through?!

He looked at her steadily and walked toward her.

Without the barrier of the light screen, the two of them were only a few steps away.

He came up to her and held out his hand.

Without thinking, Chu Liuyue handed her hand over.

He exerted strength with his long arm and easily pulled her up into his arms.

Without any pause or hesitation, he held the sword in one hand and wrapped his other hand around her slender waist. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her ruthlessly.

This kiss was deep and long!

After a long time, when she could barely stand, he finally stopped. After that, he tilted his head slightly and kissed the tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

Chu Liuyue’s heart swelled with sourness, and the joy and heartache from getting him back after almost losing him swallowed her.

She leaned into his arms and grabbed his shirt tightly.

Feeling the warmth under his clothes and his strong heartbeat, her heart finally calmed down. “Rong Xiu… Rong Xiu…”

He kissed the space between her eyebrows. His voice was low and gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing her, but every word seemed to suppress his bone-chilling madness.

“Yue’er, I’ve racked my brains and waited 10,000 years to steal a lifetime and become husband and wife with you. Now that the heavens want to kill you, I’ll crush the sky and rebel against the heavens!” With that, he let go of her.

With a tap of his toes, he soared into the air!

He hovered in midair, holding the black gold sword in his hand as his clothes fluttered. The next moment, he pointed his sword at the sky.

His fighting spirit was obvious!

There was a hint of shock and anger in that ancient and distant voice. “Rong Xiu, how dare you!?”

Rong Xiu sneered coldly. “You’ll know soon enough whether I dare or not!”

Since she had to be punished according to the Heavenly Dao, he knew he couldn’t change her life. Then… there was no need to endure anymore!

A breeze blew.

Suddenly, a puzzled voice came from the crowd. “What’s that?”

Chu Liuyue looked up.

A peach blossom floated over from afar.

Her heart tingled. Is this… a peach blossom from the abandoned garden?

At this moment, the peach blossom floated in front of Rong Xiu and silently landed on the sword.

The pink and white color quickly faded, revealing the dark and dazzling gold inside.

Swoosh!

The moment they touched, the peach blossom transformed into a cluster of flames and fused with the sword. Right on the heels of that was the second, third…

Countless peach blossoms fluttered and scattered across half the sky.

Under the dazzling sunlight, blood surged as peach blossoms fell. This scene was like a dream, so unreal.

Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes.

When the last peach blossom landed on Rong Xiu’s sword, she closed her eyes.

The wind suddenly stopped.

Rong Xiu slashed down!

Boundless sword intent, intertwined with dark and dazzling gold, swept through the sky! At the same time, the mirror in Peach Blossom Dock suddenly shattered!

Splash—

The same scene happened everywhere in the human world!

The 3,000 mirrors left behind by the Heavenly Dao were shattered at this moment!

Fantasy Divine Sea.

The dark and turbulent sea suddenly condensed and transformed into endless snow in the blink of an eye. Then, the snow seemed to have been summoned by some force, flying up and heading for the Heaven Gate.

A faint green barrier suddenly appeared.

The ice and snow melted instantly when they touched.

…

Boom!

When the sword landed, a crack instantly appeared on the astrolabe! Then, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Force began to surge crazily toward the crack.

But at this moment, Chu Liuyue opened her eyes! In an instant, green streams of light appeared everywhere in the Fantasy Divine Palace.

It was a barrier! Moreover, this wasn’t just a simple barrier—it was formed by countless barriers intertwining!

The huge Fantasy Divine Palace was completely enveloped by this barrier!

A green barrier appeared in front of Chu Liuyue.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly. Then, she raised her hand and tapped gently. “Fall!”

This low voice instantly spread throughout the entire world!

After a short silence, a white and translucent snowflake suddenly fell from the sky.

Wherever the snowflakes passed, space and energy froze!

The green barrier covered the entire Fantasy Divine Palace. Soon, countless snowflakes fell and occupied every inch of the mountains, rivers, plants, and trees here…

If it couldn’t devour the Heaven and Earth Force, the cracks on the astrolabe wouldn’t be repaired.

Rong Xiu slashed again!

Crack!

The astrolabe completely shattered!

In an instant, the dazzling light on it dimmed. At the same time, the terrifying Heavenly Dao pressure dissipated!

Rong Xiu’s deep and dignified voice reached the ears of millions of people in the world at this moment. “The past is the past. Today’s battle is over! From now on, we’ll stay in our own lane, mind our own business, and live in peace. If you offend us again and hurt my wife, I—Rong Xiu—will definitely fight to the death with you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist and sent a sword flying into the shattered astrolabe.

Boom!

Flames burned fiercely!

Chu Liuyue looked up, and her lips curled up slightly. “I forgot to say that even if he’s the Emperor, he has to marry me and become my husband.”

At this point, the last flame was also burned to ashes.

The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the weather became clear.

All the violent energy gradually calmed down, and everything returned to calm.

The green barrier faded bit by bit, leaving only snowflakes falling.

Rong Xiu moved and returned to her.

Just as he was about to speak, Chu Liuyue suddenly went forward and pulled his hand. “Follow me.”

With that, she pulled him in a certain direction.

“Cen Yi, I’ll leave this to you.” Chu Liuyue’s voice came from afar.

The void fluctuated, and Cen Yi’s figure appeared in front of the Holy Jade of Chaos. He placed one hand on his left chest and nodded his head respectfully. “Yes.”

…

Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu walked side by side at a moderate pace.

A thin layer of snow quickly fell on the road in the Fantasy Divine Hall.

After making a few turns, the two of them arrived at a courtyard.

The door was tightly shut, but a few black branches spread out from the wall.

There was no plaque here.

After the turmoil 10,000 years ago, there was only an obscure title left here—the deserted garden.

Chu Liuyue looked at Rong Xiu, her eyes moving. “Let’s go in and take a look.”

Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and took a step forward to push open the door. Then, he softly laughed and said, “Yue’er, I’ve taken care of this place for tens of thousands of years. I’m most familiar with it—”

Creak—

The moment the door opened, Rong Xiu suddenly stopped talking.

Large peach trees grew in the garden, and there was no end to them. But at this moment, clusters of pink and white peach blossoms were blooming on the peach tree that had withered for 10,000 years.

The white and translucent snow fell one after another, already covering the ground with a layer of white. The spreading branches and brocade peach blossoms were also piled with sparkling white snow.

He stood there in a daze for a long time.

He hadn’t seen such a scene for a long time.

Chu Liuyue came to his side, tilted her head, and smiled. “Your Highness, you said you’ve seen it before. The sky is filled with dancing snow, and the peach blossoms are dazzling. Now, I’ve seen it too.”

She turned her gaze slightly and looked ahead. There seemed to be a glint in her eyes. “It’s indeed beautiful.”

Rong Xiu looked at her exquisite and beautiful side profile and said, “Beautiful indeed.”

Then, he suddenly closed the door.

Chu Liuyue was stunned.

Before she could speak, she was pulled in by him. Soon, her back was pressed against the trunk of a peach tree.

He wrapped one arm around her waist and cushioned her back. He grabbed her chin with the other hand and kissed her.

His kiss was urgent. His breathing was hot and gradually became hurried.

She almost melted into spring water and melted into his arms. Then, his hand went to her waist.

But the next moment, a weak hand suddenly pressed his hand down.

He looked at her. and his voice was especially low and hoarse. “…Yue’er?”

Her face was slightly flushed, and her starry eyes were sparkling. Her full and soft lips were moist and sweet.

With just one glance, he felt even hotter.

He leaned closer and bit her fair earlobe.

Her body went limp. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned into his arms, as if that was the only way she could have something to rely on.

However, she still shook her head. “…No…”

Then, she raised her head slightly and leaned into his ear. With a red face, she said softly, “I think… I’m pregnant…”

Rong Xiu’s body stiffened, and he finally stopped. Then, he lowered his head slightly and stared at the person in his arms.

She was looking at him intently, but there was a hint of amusement in her eyes.

He narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. In the end, he kissed her lips and carefully pulled her into his arms.

Snowflakes fell, and the blooming peach blossoms swayed gently in the breeze.

Their voices sounded almost like whispers in the air.

“How long?”

“…About… a month?”

“Then, it’s time to prepare… What name should we give?”

“Think about it.”

“No, it’s a daughter, so you’ll name her.”

“…How do you know it’s a daughter?”

“It must be.”

…
