Chapter 388 (2/2)

Later on, after he’d been inflicted with the hex poison.

“Don’t you know that I only have one to two hundred years of life left? That I might not even be able to live to one hundred?

“Then you’ll have to accompany me in the future. We’ll always be together. Let’s walk every path beneath the heavens; walk to the edge of the sea and to the corner of the sky. Let’s tour every single part of the Xia Clan mortal world.”

“Haha, then this sick person will have to depend on you to take care of him.”

“Alright, then you must listen to me.”

“Definitely.”

When they got married.

After marrying each other, they walked to the other end of the world together.

Behind that back of confidence, he was tortured by the hex poison time and time again. Yet, Jing Qiu was there to wipe off his sweat and accompany him by his side. Sometimes, he’d even hide himself in his room, preventing anyone from entering as he tumbled about on his bed in agony. Whenever this happened, Jing Qiu would feel anxious as she stood outside their house..

They went together to the desert, to the prairie, and then to cross the sea.

They started a tavern together, a congee shop, and then a martial school.

They taught children together, learned to draw together, and then learned how to sculpt.

Then the war arrived.

She had kept holding on the entire time within the Star Pagoda and would rather die than compromise.

At that time, her soul had been constantly sapped at, which had worsened her injuries. None of the others had realized, but she herself knew just how serious her injuries were. “这次战争我挺怕的,就怕我撑不住,救不出你.”这是妻子在战争赢了后说的话.

“I was really afraid that I wouldn’t be able to hold on any longer, and that I couldn’t save you…” These were the words that his wife had said after they won the war.

Xue Ying’s eyes were filled with tears. “However, it’s me who cannot save you.”

******

Xue Ying remained squatting next to her and continued to lightly caress her face. He continued to sit there in a daze as he gazed at her.

Weng.

Suddenly, a vast figure had appeared at some point off to the side. He appeared to be a bald-headed male with a height of roughly twenty meters and an axe on his back. As he stood there, his cold eyes swept over the surroundings.

“A Deity Avatar?” The expressions on Palace Head Chen, Chao Qing, Mountain Lord He, and the others’ faces all changed.

“Dong Bo Xue Ying!” The time and space around that towering and muscular bald male were disrupted by his shout. His figure was also blurry and vague. His mighty voice resounded, “Did you think that after taking care of the war that the Sorcerer God and the others started, you’d have the qualifications to challenge me? I’ll give your Xia Clan a chance: Reconstruct all of my temples in as little time as possible, and forbid any malign rumors regarding my Temple of the Earth God from being spread. If you promise to do these things, I’ll let you off. Otherwise…”

The bald-headed male extended his hand, his axe now grasped within it.

“Do you have a miraculous treasure that can reconstruct one’s soul?” Xue Ying suddenly turned toward him and asked.

“A miraculous treasure that can reconstruct one’s soul?” The bald and muscular World Deity Wo Hai frowned and then roared, “Where did you hear that from? Do you think that such a miraculous treasure is something that you, a mere Transcendent, can freely ask about? Not just me, but even our Qi Lan Monarchs doesn’t have such a treasure.”

“You don’t?” Xue Ying lightly nodded.

“What’re you babbling about a miraculous treasure for? Did you hear what I just said? Quickly rebuild all of my temples and forbid—” Wo Hai began to repeat his words.

“Scram!”

Xue Ying suddenly shouted.

Hong!

His furious roar caused the sky to immediately dim. A gale of endless might proceeded to envelop the World Deity Wo Hai’s Deity avatar, who immediately revealed a look of shock as he held onto his axe. Amidst the surrounding primal chaos, both time and space were transforming and twisting, yet he couldn’t move at all. At the same time, a terrifying power shot through his body and caused it to begin to disintegrate.

“World, World Energy?” World Deity Wo Hai’s eyes widened. When he’d descended into this Deity Avatar, he hadn’t known that Xue Ying had already reached this stage. After all, the Sorcerer God and Great Demonic God hadn’t told him any matters regarding the war.

The World Energy left no place untouched; he couldn’t dodge the attack no matter what he did.

Considering he only had the power of a peak Demigod, he wasn’t able to withstand a single strike from the World Energy that Xue Ying had operated. His fleshy body immediately began to collapse, and before long, he turned into nothingness. All that was left was his axe, which rolled about uselessly.

The World Energy dissipated quite quickly.

The world soon regained its peace yet again. As for Xue Ying, he remained squatting next to his wife, holding her. After a long while, he finally stood up to leave the place.
