NOVEL NEXT Chapter 613: Gu Qingcheng Returns
The Ancestral Empress opened her own room, just next door to Xiao Ye and the Fate Divine Spirit.
She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, her brows tightly knit, unable to sleep the whole night.
For five hundred thousand years, she had been Blue Star's most dazzling Divine Spirit; no other male or female Divine Spirit could hold a candle to her.
On the Starry Battlefield, after stalemating with the White Horse Demon Path for hundreds of thousands of years, she had also been the top of the top, outstanding in every way.
But now, out of nowhere, a Human Emperor had popped up, crushing her at every turn, accomplishing countless things she had been completely helpless to solve.
Like eradicating Divine Spirits, uniting the Blue Star Divine Spirit camp, and wiping out the White Horse Star System's Demon Path in a single move.
Each and every one of those achievements outshone even those of the Ancestral Empress herself.
She, quietly, had found herself falling for the Human Emperor.
*She couldn't believe it. As a Divine Spirit, how could she fall for someone? How could she actually like a human teenager?*
*But feelings just weren't something she could control. In the beginning, that crush had her blushing and her heart thumping, filling her with a sweet, giddy feeling.*
But today, she'd just been a third wheel all day.
*She obviously liked the Human Emperor, but right in front of her, the Human Emperor was getting all cuddly with another woman,*
eating stinky tofu, strolling the streets, watching movies, opening a hotel room together.
*It left her heart sour and astringent, like she'd just eaten an unripe lemon. It was ridiculously bitter.*
The Ancestral Empress felt pissed, jumping up in anger, stretching her limbs, and snorting coldly,
"The Fate Divine Spirit is just the obsession form of Qingcheng, who's always been the Human Emperor's wife, so why the hell am I getting all worked up over this?"
"It's been ages since I beat someone up."
"The Five Elements Divine Spirit isn't dead yet, might as well go pummel him!"
"I'm totally not jealous, not even mad; it's just been too long since I smacked the Five Elements Divine Spirit around and I'm bored, hmph!"
She swept her spatial perception over to the next room.
The result left her blushing bright red. She cursed silently, the anger on her face only growing, but she stubbornly insisted,
"Definitely bored out of my mind, should get some air, and maybe beat up the Five Elements Divine Spirit at the same time, hmph!"
"That guy's Divine Spirit body is who-knows-where, so I'll just hunt him down at the Five Elements Rule Origin Essence!"
The Ancestral Empress stormed off in a huff.
If the Five Elements Divine Spirit knew he'd been randomly targeted by the Ancestral Empress for no reason, he'd probably look like he just ate dirt and yell, You're bullying Divine Spirits!
Next door.
After two hours of battle, Xiao Ye hadn't been defeated.
At this point, his Realm was Tier Two of the third phase of the Emperor Realm, while the Fate Divine Spirit was only Tier One of the third phase.
In that fierce and exhilarating battle, Xiao Ye had won!
After winning, he pushed his advantage, not giving the Fate Divine Spirit a chance to escape, rooting her out completely, making her beg for mercy again and again, until she totally lost the will to fight.
The battle ended.
Xiao Ye very graciously made peace with his enemy, the Fate Divine Spirit, and got along in harmony.
The two of them cuddled up and fell asleep together.
The next morning.
Xiao Ye was woken up by the noise of a breakthrough in the Realm.
His Realm had already risen to the Perfection level of the third phase of the Emperor Realm!
Xiao Ye felt the various Origins within him churning and roaring like an ocean, his heartbeat exploding with thunderous booms inside his chest.
Suddenly, the enemy Fate Divine Spirit launched a new attack.
How could Xiao Ye back down? He immediately rose up, unleashing the terrifying might of the Emperor Realm's third phase Perfection, and took down the Fate Divine Spirit decisively.
In that battle, he utterly destroyed the opposition, leaving no room for doubt…
Sometime later, warm sunlight filtered through the window and filled the living room.
In the living room, the two of them were eating stinky tofu for breakfast.
Xiao Ye, practically gagging at the stench, could barely stomach it. Who the hell ate stinky tofu for breakfast anyway?
But the Fate Divine Spirit was there stuffing her face, lips greasy and glowing, eating bite after bite, totally lost in bliss, her stunningly beautiful face glowing with intoxicated enjoyment.
Xiao Ye used a creation-type manifestation divine technique to conjure some normal breakfast, ate a few bites, then headed back to his room, saying calmly,
"Fate Divine Spirit, wait for me a minute, I've got something important to take care of."
The Fate Divine Spirit's lips curled slightly upward, knowing exactly what he was about to do.
She quietly took out a Memory Stone, hugged it to her chest, and gazed at it in a daze, an unconscious smile of happiness blooming on her face.
Every second of eating stinky tofu, walking the streets, watching movies, even opening a hotel room, had all been recorded in it.
These were memories that belonged only to her and the Human Emperor, and she wanted to treasure them forever!
Xiao Ye came out holding a little box, looking puzzled,
"Fate Divine Spirit, what's that you're holding?"
The Fate Divine Spirit hurriedly tucked it away, forcing herself to stay cool, "Nothing, just a stone."
Xiao Ye didn't make a fuss, shaking the delicate little box in his hand. On it, the words 'Fate Divine Spirit' were carved. He grinned,
"Fate Divine Spirit, I've put Qingcheng's box away. This one's for you."
"This is our real crystal."
But the Fate Divine Spirit shook her head, pushed the delicate box back his way, her eyes complicated,
"This one, you keep it."
"I have other things to remember."
Suddenly, her face turned heavy, sadness flickering in her eyes. In a mournful tone, she said,
"Human Emperor, last night, while you were asleep, Qingcheng came back."
"It's time for me to go."
"I won't fight Qingcheng over a man. You were always her husband."
"I wish you two a long and happy marriage, growing old together."
The Fate Divine Spirit stood up and turned away, tears streaming down her pale cheeks.
Her enchanting figure shook uncontrollably.
Her form gradually faded away.
Xiao Ye panicked, "Fate Divine Spirit, you're also Qingcheng! You're Obsession-form Qingcheng! You're my wife, too!"
"Where are you going?"
Her figure dimmed, dissolving into little spots of light and fading from sight, her sad, dejected voice echoing through the living room,
"To a place where you aren't."
"I can't keep being Qingcheng's substitute. I'm the Fate Divine Spirit!"
"Last night I gave myself to you too, we made some beautiful memories, and that's enough!"
She was gone, who knew where she'd gone.
Xiao Ye's face darkened as he muttered, "Fate Divine Spirit, the Reincarnation Divine Spirit is about to break through to the Star Domain Realm. He can use the Great Reincarnation Divine Technique to restore your memories, and you just walk away now?"
"I keep telling you, you're not a substitute. You're the obsession-form Qingcheng, and Qingcheng and you are two different individuals!"
"Sigh~!"
He collapsed on the sofa, rubbing his forehead, totally exasperated.
Just then, with a click, the presidential suite's second bedroom door opened.
A stunning white-robed woman with a graceful figure stepped out, staring sharp-eyed at Xiao Ye, a domineering aura radiating off her.
Xiao Ye froze, caught her gaze, and asked in disbelief,
"Fate Divine Spirit, you're back?"
"Good, you came back. I've always said, you're my wife too, not Qingcheng's substitute."
"Don't overthink it. Obsession-form Qingcheng and Qingcheng aren't exactly the same person. My feelings for you both aren't exactly the same either!"
But the stunning white-robed woman didn't respond, simply walked slowly over, her eyes filled with memories, dazedly watching him for half a minute.
Xiao Ye laughed, "What are you looking at? Didn't you just see me a moment ago?"
The stunning white-robed woman shook her head and, in a slightly domineering tone, said,
"No, we haven't seen each other in five thousand years."
"I am Qingcheng, the Hang City Empress, Gu Qingcheng!"
Xiao Ye was stunned.
