2125 xia qingyue - Against the gods The final battle

Chapter 2125

Chapter 2136 - The Past

Shenwu Yi's face showed a rare moment of panic. She had never been held so intimately by a man before. In all her memories since arriving in the Abyss, she had never had any physical contact with any man.

"Don't touch me!"

With an instant burst of her Divine Extinction Realm level six power, Shenwu Yi directly blasted Yun Che away, who had been completely unprepared.

"Ow! That hurt! How can a woman change her face faster than flipping a book? You looked like you were in pain just now, and I was just concerned about you..." Yun Che put on an innocent expression, looking helpless.

A moment ago, Shenwu Yi's expression had clearly shown signs of struggle and contemplation, something Yun Che had keenly noticed. In his mind, the Eternal Night Divine Daughter must have remembered something from the past. If she had regained part of Xia Qingyue's memories, their relationship would not feel so distant.

Now, her reaction could only mean one thing — perhaps fragmented memories were flashing through her mind, but there were still gaps. She couldn't recall every bit of her past.

Still, Yun Che couldn't help but think — the feeling just now was just as he remembered. No... even more abundant than before.

There was no trace of embarrassment on Yun Che's face, only regret that he hadn't been able to hold her for longer. Though their separation hadn't been long, seeing her again stirred deep emotions in him. He wanted to hold her like this forever, to protect her, to never let her be hurt again.

"Touching the Eternal Night Divine Daughter — you deserve to die!" Shenwu Yi's voice grew colder. Just a moment ago, when she was caught off guard, Yun Che had taken advantage of her so shamelessly.

She had never experienced anything like this before. Though her words were harsh and icy, deep inside, her heart was racing. She wasn't as resistant as her tone suggested.

Yun Che's hands had been far too unruly, touching places he shouldn't have... If it had been just a simple, concerned embrace, she wouldn't have reacted so violently.

"It's not like I haven't touched you before..." Yun Che muttered under his breath. But despite his words, he wisely took a step back, keeping some distance to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"By the way, there's something very important I haven't told you yet," Yun Che said mysteriously.

"What is it?" Shenwu Yi collected her thoughts, calming her mind, regaining her usual cold demeanor.

"You have to take off your veil first, and then I'll tell you." Yun Che pointed at the black veil covering her face.

"This was given to me by the Mother God. She said it must never be removed without her permission. I cannot grant your request." A trace of hesitation flashed across Shenwu Yi's face, but she ultimately remained firm.

"This is the Fog Sea. Even a True God as powerful as her cannot perceive everything here. Besides, you'd only be taking it off in front of me. As long as we both keep quiet, it won't be considered defying Lightless Divine Regent's will," Yun Che coaxed. "Don't you want to know what I was going to say?"

"I was interested at first, but now I'm not." With that, Shenwu Yi turned away, unwilling to be entangled with Yun Che any further.

"Eh?" Yun Che was dumbfounded. This wasn't how the script was supposed to go! The old Xia Qingyue would never have reacted like this.

In his plan, Shenwu Yi would gradually relent, allowing him to slowly take control of the situation. But unexpectedly, he encountered a setback at the very first step.

For a moment, Yun Che stood frozen, staring blankly at Shenwu Yi as she walked away. He had considered many possible scenarios, but not this one.

"Wait!" Yun Che suddenly shouted. "You can forget me, even forget our past... but what about them?"

With a flick of his finger, an image appeared before them — Yue Wuya, Yue Wugou, Xia Hongyi and Xia Yuanba.

These were the closest people to Xia Qingyue. Even if she had been artificially created by the Ancestral Goddess, she still shared a blood connection with them.

Shenwu Yi stopped and turned back, her emotions surging even more intensely this time. While her past self may not have valued family more than Yun Che, the ties of blood and soul were something that even Yun Che could not replace.

The old Xia Qingyue had deep regrets toward Yue Wuya and Yue Wugou. She had vowed to protect the Moon God Realm for life, but in the end, she had failed to fulfill her promise. One moment of regret might not break a person, but repeated regrets could shatter the soul. That was simply human nature.

As for Xia Hongyi, Xia Qingyue had few memories of him. She had never been particularly close to her father and had never truly been filial. But when it came to her younger brother, Xia Yuanba, she owed him even more.

The Nine Profound Exquisite Body and the Heart of Snow Glazed Glass she possessed had been forcibly extracted from Xia Yuanba's physique by the Ancestral Goddess.

Shenwu Yi slowly walked back toward Yun Che, faint glimmers forming in her eyes.

"Tell me about them. I want to know everything." Shenwu Yi's voice carried an unmistakable command.

She couldn't bring herself to feel any killing intent toward Yun Che. Not even the slightest disgust. His voice in her ears was like the purest melody, something she had never experienced since awakening as Shenwu Yi.

"Take off your veil first." Yun Che dissipated the image, crossing his arms, smirking playfully.

If anyone from the Eternal Night Kingdom of God were here, they would be utterly stunned — someone dared to talk to the Eternal Night Divine Daughter like this? And that person was a mere lowly man!

Shenwu Yi frowned, visibly struggling. The images had clearly stirred something within her, making her eager to understand, to confirm the truth. After a battle of thoughts, she finally relented and slowly removed her veil.

"This must not be mentioned to anyone else. If you do, I will kill you."

"Don't worry, Qingyue, my wife. Your words are my favorite to hear. But if you want to know more, you have to feel it with your heart. Close your eyes too," Yun Che chuckled mischievously, looking immensely pleased with himself.

Shenwu Yi didn't resist. She slowly closed her eyes, wanting to immerse herself in the memories, to retrieve what was lost, to mend past regrets, to verify the rights and wrongs of her past.

Yun Che gazed at Shenwu Yi's face, unchanged from before. But seeing her again now, his heart was overwhelmed with emotions.

Even though he had mentally prepared himself, the moment he truly saw Xia Qingyue's breathtaking face again, an unusual warmth surfaced in his eyes. His guilt, his self-blame, his longing, his joy… all surged into his heart, completely occupying his soul. His mind was no longer clear, no longer rational.

Yun Che slowly moved closer, unable to resist the urge. He kissed her lips without restraint.

There were no extra words. No unnecessary movements. No thoughts of consequences. At this moment, he simply wanted to kiss her — so he did exactly that.

Shenwu Yi's lips felt the sudden warmth, and her eyes flew open in shock. Her pupils widened to their limits. Just moments ago, she had been floating in a serene world, and now, she was dragged into a blazing inferno. The drastic contrast made her mind falter.

She didn't push Yun Che away. Instead, she quietly accepted this moment of warmth. She didn't understand why she was doing so, but her body honestly told her — though unfamiliar with this sensation, she did not reject it.

Not far from where Yun Che and Shenwu Yi stood, Pan Buwang's figure appeared. He was relentlessly slaying Abyssal Beasts, advancing deeper into the Fog Sea.

A/N: Some people wanted more emotional depth—so here it is today. Only one update this weekend. I'll be organizing the final arc's outline this week. I hope I can bring you all the perfect ending I envisioned! Your comments and support are my greatest motivation!

Chapter 2137 - Hope and Despair

Shenwu Yi felt the continuous warmth coming from her lips and could no longer resist. Her face flushed with slight anger, and she bit down hard on Yun Che's lips.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, are you a dog?" Yun Che licked his injured lips, and a faint taste of blood mixed with the woman's fragrance spread across his taste buds.

This scene perfectly overlapped with what happened when Xia Qingyue and he were at the Vanishing Moon Celestial Palace all those years ago.

Back then, Yun Che couldn't help himself either. Xia Qingyue had been married to him for twelve years but they had never consummated the marriage. So, he boldly acted, taking her first kiss.

Now, seeing her again, Yun Che was naturally even more reckless. But the pure lust he once felt had faded. Now, it was more about the gratitude and preciousness of regaining Xia Qingyue.

Shenwu Yi's expression was complex. As the noble and cold Divine Daughter of Eternal Night, she shouldn't, and couldn't, do such an outrageous thing with a man. But today, she had, and she hadn't resisted.

If this was just a momentary lapse in judgment, Shenwu Yi's emotions wouldn't be so turbulent. She would only feel a lingering anger and disgust. However, the warmth that passed between them lasted for several breaths. If Shenwu Yi hadn't been unable to tolerate it anymore, it might have lasted longer. It could no longer be hidden with a simple "coincidence."

The heartbeat of the Divine Daughter of Eternal Night quickened, and her emotions fluctuated greatly. It seemed that there was a voice in her heart telling her that Yun Che was her husband, and there was nothing wrong with intimate actions between spouses. Her body was also accepting this idea.

"I'm sorry." Shenwu Yi actually rarely apologized to Yun Che. It was clear that she had been taken advantage of, that she was the victim, and that such words should never come from her mouth.

Yun Che froze for a moment. In his perception, Shenwu Yi hadn't changed, but clearly, such a response could only come from Xia Qingyue. Only Xia Qingyue would act this way.

"Do you remember things from the past?"

"Not yet. But countless scenes flashed in my mind. I know what you said is true, you haven't lied to me. I don't know how to handle it. You need to give me some time," Shenwu Yi shook her head and said slowly, putting the black veil back on her face, regaining her cold demeanor.

"Hmm, don't force yourself. Just being able to see you again is the greatest gift from heaven. This time, I won't let you get hurt. I won't let you bear everything alone. I won't let you be lonely again." Yun Che's eyes were filled with deep affection. Some words he had been brewing for a long time, but when he finally saw Xia Qingyue, they turned into simple, straightforward sentences.

"Today, what happened between us must not be spoken of. I am still the Divine Daughter of Eternal Night. I cannot afford the slightest stain on my image. Otherwise, the Mother God will not only strip me of my power, but she will also destroy you without hesitation." Shenwu Yi said seriously. Her biggest concern was still the wrath of the Divine Regent, not Yun Che's shameless actions, which she didn't even give much thought to.

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife Qingyue. Whatever you say, I'll do it." Yun Che smiled brightly. Since coming to the Abyss, other than the time spent alone with Hua Caili, he hadn't been this happy.

"Shenwu Yi!"

A cold, bone-piercing voice broke the immersion between Yun Che and Shenwu Yi.

A handsome man in black appeared before them. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his face was cold, especially his eyes, which emitted a terrifying black light as they glared at Shenwu Yi with hatred and animosity.

"Owl Butterfly Divine Son Pan Buwang." Shenwu Yi's voice was calm, showing no sign of disturbance at the appearance of Pan Buwang.

Yun Che frowned. He had been so caught up in the joy of meeting Xia Qingyue that he had completely ignored someone approaching.

However, as soon as he saw that the person was Pan Buwang, his tension and displeasure evaporated. Instead, he smiled in satisfaction. The revenge tool he had cultivated for three years had truly not let him down.

"Meng Jianyuan, you're here too?" Pan Buwang was clearly surprised. He hadn't expected anyone else to be nearby, especially a man.

The Eternal Night Kingdom of God's disdain for men was infamous throughout the Abyss. Because of the existence of the Lightless Divine Regent, this trait was amplified to the extreme. As the Divine Daughter of Eternal Night, Shenwu Yi naturally shared this sentiment.

Pan Buwang furrowed his brows, unable to figure out the relationship between the two. They were standing very close to each other, and Shenwu Yi had no intention of making a move, which didn't seem logical. However, remembering that Meng Jianyuan was only at the fourth level of the Divine Master realm, he didn't dwell on it any longer.

"How come Owl Butterfly Divine Son can come here, but I can't?" Yun Che said casually, not taking Pan Buwang's arrival seriously.

"You're only at the fourth level of the Divine Master realm, and you have this ability? I underestimated you," Pan Buwang stared at Yun Che, his face showing a hint of surprise. To be able to venture so deeply into the Fog Sea showed that the Dreamweaving Divine Son was no simple figure, especially since the Abyssal Beasts here were all beings at the Divine Extinction Realm.

"There are still many things that Owl Butterfly Divine Son hasn't thought of. From being the discarded son you were to now recovering your status as a Divine Son, the person you should thank most is me. If it weren't for me sending you out of the Dreamweaving Kingdom of God back then, you would have already fallen into the Sinking Dream by now. How could you still be standing here, talking to me?" Yun Che smiled, as though merely stating a trivial matter.

"Thank you, Meng Jianyuan, I will remember your kindness. I will repay it whenever the opportunity arises," Pan Buwang bowed to Yun Che, but his goal was clear: he only wanted to settle things with Shenwu Yi. "I have a mortal enmity with the Divine Daughter of Eternal Night. This matter has nothing to do with you. I don't want to hurt you by mistake. You can leave first."

Yun Che clearly understood Pan Buwang's hatred. However, he hadn't expected that one of Pan Buwang's targets for revenge would be the amnesiac Xia Qingyue, which put him in a dilemma.

If he really ignored everything and Xia Qingyue got hurt, Yun Che would be very heartbroken. He had already secretly sworn in his heart not to let Qingyue suffer any more harm. He could not accept it.

But if he teamed up with Shenwu Yi to injure Pan Buwang, that would also not align with his plan. Such a weak Owl Butterfly Divine Son would disappoint Qi Heng, delaying the inheritance of the Divine Source.

Just as Yun Che hesitated, Shenwu Yi spoke, "This is a matter between him and me, it has nothing to do with you. Please step aside."

Yun Che was about to speak when he heard Li Suo's voice. "You should step aside. You'll get to watch a good show later."

"?"

Yun Che was stunned, not expecting that one day he wouldn't understand the meaning behind Li Suo's words.

But despite this, he didn't doubt Li Suo's judgment. He nodded at Shenwu Yi, "Then be careful."

Yun Che wisely stepped aside, no longer getting involved in their grievances.

"Have you killed Shenwu Qing?" Pan Buwang's eyes were filled with hope, praying that the answer wouldn't be so cruel.

Unfortunately, the only answer he received was a cold, emotionless word.

"Yes." Shenwu Yi's expression was calm, and there was no fluctuation in her face.
