Chapter 1353: Chapter 1353: Yan Ye, Keep Your Word!
“`
Ming Xiu had absolutely not anticipated that Yan Ye had harbored another plan, and by the time he realized it, all three of them had grown up. Another year passed, and when Yan Ye arrived in the Western Wilderness, Ming Xiu rushed over. By that time, with the help of Xi Feng, he had already formed a heaven-sent blood contract with Huang Jiu.
Seeing Yan Ye standing alone beneath the Joyful Union Tree, looking sorrowful, Ming Xiu knew that Yan Ye must have learned of his marriage contract with Huang Jiu. He said to Yan Ye with a sense of superiority, “You still have a chance, I don’t mind competing with you fairly, if one day, Little Ninth prefers you, I am willing to step down.”
That single sentence had inspired Yan Ye to strive for over a thousand years. On the battlefield, facing opposing armies countless times, Yanmo Heavenly Clan had suffered devastating defeats in order not to harm Huang Jiu, allowing the Spirit God Clan to steadily expand their territory.
Now, the words Yan Ye spoke were the very same ones Ming Xiu had said beneath the Joyful Union Tree, “You still have a chance, I don’t mind competing with you fairly, if one day, Little Ninth prefers you, I am willing to step down.” Back then, Ming Xiu had used those words to trap Yan Ye, and even if Yan Ye knew the trap, he probably wouldn’t have given up.
But today, Yan Ye repeating those words, what did it mean?
It was a challenge, Yan Ye’s challenge to him! Did it mean that if Ming Xiu could still win Little Ninth’s heart, Yan Ye would be willing to step down? Thinking this, a glimmer of hope arose in the originally despairing Ming Xiu’s heart. His somewhat dim eyes suddenly brightened, and he raised his voice, “Yan Ye, you said it, you have to keep your word, let’s compete fairly!”
The so-called fairness meant starting from the same starting line. As long as Yan Ye didn’t intend to erase his name and write Yan Ye’s name over where his was, Ming Xiu was fearless.
Competition? For Ming Xiu, there was still hope, and he was somewhat confident that he could make Huang Jiu fall in love with him! After all, they had lived together for so many years and shared childhood memories. Their relationship had gradually grown distant as Huang Jiu grew up and began to understand more.
Ming Xiu’s voice pierced through the Divine Veil. When it reached Yan Ye’s ears, Yan Ye cracked a smile. Just then, Beiting Huang’s finger, influenced by him, jabbed fiercely onto the Divine Veil. The blood from the tip of her finger trickled down from the Divine Veil, flowing over the place where Ming Xiu’s name was written. Just after it passed over, the entire Divine Veil emitted a dazzling golden light.
The golden light burst forth from where the fresh blood flowed, blooming like a golden lotus, with petals unfurling atop the four Divine Pillars and reaching towards the sky, like a streaming rainbow. Almost instantly, it ascended to the nine heavens above.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
No one knew how the rules of heaven and earth were established, where they were inscribed, or who was the one controlling this world. This was probably the first time since the establishment of Rubis World that the rules of heaven and earth became visible to these mortals.
Nearly everyone was blinded by this brilliant golden light and could hardly keep their eyes open, yet they bore the pain and kept their gaze fixed on the radiance. Just like the Glorious Lotus blooming in Bodhi’s hand, no language could capture its brilliance and divine light. A pale celestial glow spread forth from it, illuminating the lands of the Central Continent, and it seemed that in an instant, all things gained a touch of vitality, and the spiritual qi between heaven and earth seemed richer.
