“Finally… after waiting so long…” Wan Yue tiptoed onto the bed and wrapped her smooth, jade-white arms around Lin Luochen from behind. She leaned in toward his neck and breathed him in greedily, her celestial face filled with madness and sickness.
Her soft hands gently parted the boy’s robe and slipped inside, caressing the defined lines of his chest. Strangely, Lin Luochen didn’t wake up. It was as if he were trapped in a dream—no matter how daring Wan Yue’s movements became, he remained unconscious.
Her long, slender legs—beautiful enough to drive countless men insane—clamped tightly around his waist. Her tiny, translucent toes curled slightly.
“Feng’er… I missed you so much…” Wan Yue held the boy tightly, love overflowing in her eyes like a tide that could melt ice and snow.
She stared at his sleeping face and smiled enchantingly. “In our past life, we were bird and cicada—short-lived but brilliant. But in this life, we are sea and reef. Our love will outlast the sea and stone.”
“When you regain the memories of your past life, I will marry you…” Wan Yue’s voice was ethereal, like a song from heaven, intoxicating to the bones and soul.
She softly pressed her lips to his forehead.
At this moment, Lin Luochen was dreaming. In the dream, he saw the love of his life—she had waited for him through one lifetime after another. From a breathtaking fairy, she had waited until her hair turned white…
She didn’t pursue immortality. She only waited for his return in the mortal world.
The dream unfolded from his perspective. His chest hurt, and he murmured in a blurred whisper, “Qingyue… wait for me… I will come back…”
That voice was soft and sorrowful. It was his dream-talking.
Wan Yue, holding him, trembled. Her delicate nose tingled, and her clear eyes turned red.
“Qingyue… don’t go…” Lin Luochen turned over and held onto the soft warmth before him.
In the dream, he had watched as his beloved drifted farther and farther away. It was just a dream, but it felt like he had endured countless lifetimes.
That pain carved deep into his soul made him feel helpless and afraid.
“I’m here… I’ve always been here…” Wan Yue hugged him back tightly. Her graceful body glowed like flawless jade, but in this moment, her heart defense completely broke.
…
Elsewhere—
“Old Li, are you sure that fairy will come here?” Ye Chen drooled, his eyes full of lust.
Not long ago, Ye Chen had encountered a fairy in a red feathered robe at some ancient ruin. She was ethereal, peerlessly beautiful, with natural elegance and a divine aura—unmatched in grace and stunning to the extreme.
According to Old Li, that fairy was none other than the Moon God Hall’s chief disciple in Central Province—Yi Qingwu!
“No doubt about it. I’ve done the calculations—she will definitely come!” Old Li, despite inwardly despising Ye Chen’s look, replied seriously.
Old Li should’ve been long dead, but he survived thanks to the Dao of Heaven’s protection over Ye Chen. Not only did he escape death in that deadly situation, but his soul also recovered somewhat, becoming more whole than before.
This left him with no choice but to continue following Ye Chen. Though Ye Chen’s character was awful, he was the child of destiny with incredible fortune, gaining many great treasures along the way.
“She’s a 4th stage Heavenly Venerable. Without Saints appearing, she’s among the peak powers of this world. According to my calculations, she might even share some karmic tie with you.”
Old Li spoke solemnly. In his past life, he could calculate the tides of fortune. That was why he had been an invaluable aid to Ye Chen during his early cultivation.
“Master, please don’t tease me. I haven’t even avenged my blood feud. How could I care about love affairs?” Ye Chen’s gaze turned serious.
As the child of destiny, it was a given—his parents were dead, his relatives gone, either slaughtered or hunted down.
And Ye Chen belonged to the former.
Old Li looked deeply at Ye Chen’s eyes full of undisguised lewdness and almost believed him.
“My disciple, according to my calculations, if you form a good bond with her, you’ll gain entry into the Moon God Hall and your future will be limitless. At that point, your enemies would be nothing but dust.”
Old Li comforted him.
“Fine. As long as I can avenge myself, I don’t care if I have 3,000 beauties in my harem!” Ye Chen nodded heavily, then waved his hand.
“Yiya~” A seven-colored serpent slithered into view, flicking its tongue.
This snake was saved by Ye Chen when he was young. He later found out it was a descendant of the ancient Swallowing Sky Python clan.
“Xiao Cai, it’s your turn now.” Ye Chen gestured. Xiao Cai instantly understood.
Xiao Cai would pretend to be a ferocious beast hunting Ye Chen, so that the fairy would rescue him, giving him the chance to approach her.
This trick had never failed Ye Chen. It was how he met Leng Qingqiu and became a disciple of Cloudveil Sect.
“Buzz—” In the distance, a space-tearing sound echoed, as massive voids were ripped apart and filled the heavens.
“She’s here!”
“Xiao Cai, time to shine!” Ye Chen shouted toward the serpent.
The seven-colored snake had long developed intelligence. Hearing Ye Chen’s shout, it cried out and began to grow.
“Roar—” Xiao Cai let out a terrifying roar. Her rainbow-colored scales shimmered with a cold light, deliberately drawing Yi Qingwu’s attention.
Her body expanded rapidly, eventually growing to nearly 21 meters in length.
Her expression turned ferocious, eyes blood-red, locking tightly onto Ye Chen, pressing forward step by step, opening her massive jaws to swallow him.
“Xiao Cai’s acting gets better every time,” Ye Chen praised with admiration.
“Focus! She’s almost here—don’t mess this up,” Old Li warned.
The plan was perfect. Xiao Cai would pose as a terrifying beast. When Yi Qingwu approached, she would attack Ye Chen. Ye Chen would pretend to be badly wounded and get flung toward Yi Qingwu’s direction.
This would allow him to get close to her. Xiao Cai would then retreat. Seeing Ye Chen seriously injured, Yi Qingwu wouldn’t pursue him.
She’d tend to his wounds, and they’d gradually grow fond of each other. Ye Chen would then reveal his astonishing talent and get recommended to the Moon God Hall.
Returning to the present, Ye Chen wiped away his lewd grin and looked at the giant Xiao Cai in front of him. He roared, “Vile beast! How dare you attack me! Die!”
Xiao Cai raised her head and roared. Her massive tail lit up in rainbow colors and slammed down toward Ye Chen like a falling sky.
“Boom—” Ye Chen took the full hit, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. Like a kite with a broken string, he was flung toward a beautiful figure.
Everything went exactly according to plan!
As Ye Chen got closer to the figure, he finally saw Yi Qingwu’s appearance clearly.
She was breathtaking. Her face flawless, her beauty unimaginable. Curved brows, a red feathered robe outlining her hazy silhouette, bones as flawless as jade.
Beautiful!
Too beautiful!
Only a woman like this is worthy of me!
No wonder Master said this was my destiny!
If I could win her heart, what would revenge matter?
Ye Chen, filled with excitement, closed his eyes slowly, pretending to faint from his injuries.
…
At this moment, Yi Qingwu was very unhappy. She had just messed up a mission given to her by her master.
Now her junior sister told her that a man had entered the Moon God Hall and even received a personal summons from the master. Her mood was completely ruined!
In her eyes, her master was a divine goddess, an untouchable being. How could a filthy man be allowed near?
The more she thought about it, the worse her mood got. The temperature around her plummeted, reaching freezing point.
But as she passed a desolate forest, a shadow flew straight at her, about to crash into her.
Yi Qingwu’s eyes flickered. When she clearly saw it was an average-looking man wearing a lustful grin, with his hand trying to grab at her…
She was instantly furious!
Could the man meeting her master be this kind of lecherous trash?
Just thinking about it filled her with disgust!
Yi Qingwu’s gaze turned cold, and her voice was on the verge of erupting. “How dare you!”
She lifted her hand slightly. The aura of a 4th stage Heavenly Venerable exploded. Moonlight poured down with destructive power, enveloping the entire forest.
At first, Ye Chen was still feeling smug, thinking the plan had worked. But his smile quickly froze.
“Master… something’s wrong. I think she’s coming straight for me…”
“No… she’s coming straight for us,” Old Li said bitterly. Xiao Cai was terrified.
“Boom—” A silver light blanketed the forest within 50 kilometers. It erupted, tearing the void apart, shaking heaven and earth.
