Chapter 1461: A Romantic Debt (2/2)

Having said that, he turned and left. This surprised both of the girls.

After calming down, Yonghuang raised her voice: “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to see someone. Like I said before, don’t wait for me. If I don’t come back, just go back to your homes...” He disappeared into the sky before finis.h.i.+ng his sentence.

A shadow crossed the city’s sky. It was so fast that no one was able to detect it.

However, Li Qiye immediately gave chase to this shadow. He could cross realms by utilizing the immeasurable speed of his Soaring Immortal Physique.

Eventually, he was able to catch up. It was the same woman who was drifting through the void. It looked as if she was walking slowly, but her speed was amazing. She looked like a strolling fairy with a wonderful posture — completely kingdom-toppling.

This fairy-like woman landed on a peak and turned around to coldly stare at Li Qiye.

Li Qiye also stopped and met her gaze.

He said: “I’ve been waiting for you.”

He was met with the same indifferent gaze and silence just like last time.

He bitterly smiled after seeing this: “I know it was all my fault, but no matter what, I hope we can end this so that you can have closure before I leave.”

“Clank!” A sword left its sheath with its tip touching Li Qiye’s throat. If he moved even a tiny bit, it would immediately pierce through him.

Li Qiye didn’t panic at all. He slowly closed his eyes and sighed: “If killing me can take away the hatred in your heart, then go ahead. I won’t be mad at you even if you chop me into pieces.”

“You cultivate the Death Physique.” In the end, she finally spoke with a voice as heavenly as an immortal. Despite the cold intent, it was still very pleasant to the ears.

“Yes, you understand me too well.” Li Qiye chuckled without hiding anything.

She coldly uttered: “Understand you? If I did, I wouldn’t have been tricked by you!”

He pondered for a moment before opening his mouth to speak. However, she interrupted him: “You shouldn’t say it was all for my sake. I know you will say so since you always come up with an excuse! As the teacher of Immortal Emperors, you always come up with such perfect excuses!”

He earnestly said: “First of all, I admit that I have deceived you. Second, whether you believe it or not, I only hope for you to live on. I have promised your father that as long as I am alive, no one can kill you. It’s fine if you don’t believe me.”

She coldly asked: “You thought I was going to die? Was my defeat so certain in your eyes?”

He wryly smiled: “I know you, but I know her even better. Do you think both of you could have survived?”

She retorted: “So you chose her.”

“I didn’t choose her.” He sincerely said: “When her invincible dao reached completion, I knew that she could suppress eternity itself. Nothing could have stopped her, not even you. Even against impossible odds, would you have stopped?”

She didn’t answer this time and only glared at him.

“You know that you wouldn’t have backed down and I know this as well!” He met her gaze and directly stated: “In the final battle, there was only one result — your death!”

“So I should be thanking you for saving me. I was the one who was wrong.” She stared at him with icy eyes.

“No, it was my fault.” He bitterly smiled in response: “Everyone says that I can control everything and reverse the universe itself, but I am also powerless at times. Ultimately, I am fully responsible for what happened.”
