Chapter 598 - Meeting Chi Xue Again (1/2)

On the Nacre Lake, Zhong Yue has met with Chi Xue again,

After all this years, the young lady grew even prettier, and her eyes glimmered deeper with a mysterious air. But what was more surprising was her cultivation base that was no any weaker than Zhong Yue, even more, she was seemingly a hair's breadth stronger than him!

Chi Xue was holding an imperial air of a domineering empress, making her even more attractive than ever!

She was already appointed as the next Western Mother Empress, but was also the young lady who had a past with him. They have been in the an unofficial relation on the moon, but eventually parted on their own ways; Zhong Yue returned to the Ancestral Star, while Chi Xue stayed in Kun Lun.

They were two love birds who were never meant to be together, like Constellations Shen and Shang. Despite they have a spot for one another in their hearts, they could never be together.

"I'm leaving."

Zhong Yue smiled, he said, "It might take a very long time for me to return, or maybe never. So… I'm here to say goodbye. The Ancestral Star is undergoing major changes, some unknown force is shifting the principles of cultivation, it is no place for the Qi Practitioners anymore. The Ancestral Star will be devoid from cultivators in a thousand years time. Thus, other than saying goodbye, I am also here to…"

"To place the human race under my watch?" Chi Xue tilted her head and mulled, she interrupted, "No, you won't, you know me well. I am entitled with the greatest honor of the whole Kun Lun Realm, but my faction is yet to be strong enough; so you won't hand the human race into my hands. After all, I will have to face with all the other factions once Western Mother Empress dies; that places the human race in a greater threat, it might even go extinct from the war. Moreover, you won't allow the humans to bow to anyone else anymore."

Zhong Yue smiled, "I know your faction is yet to be fully matured, that's why, I will bring the Ancestral Star dragon race and Bai Zhe Clan to your aid. The old Western Mother Empress has at most 80 years to live, her death will lift off the last obstacle for the other gods to dethrone and replace you. However, with the helpers from the Ancestral Star, the pressure on you can be greatly reduced."

Chi Xue was overjoyed, "You are giving your helpers to me? I really do need them, but what about the human race? After you leave, and when the cultivation stops, the human race will be even more inferior than the naturally gifted races. What are you going to do then?"

Zhong Yue smiled, but never replied.

Chi Xue gazed deeply into his eyes; a thought flashed across her mind, and her body abruptly shivered in shock, she shook her head and said, "I don't believe you are capable of that!"

Zhong Yue was placid, however, "I do need to warn you on how much I value my people. If, in any case, you dare to infiltrate the Ancestral Star, not only that I will seal the Ancestral Star races, I will seal the whole Kun Lun as well."

A cold chill was sent down Chi Xue's spine, and she chortled abruptly, "You ungrateful lover, I am your lady, how can you threaten me like this?"

Zhong Yue laughed, "To the Western Mother Empress, I am just a man of yours. You don't belong to me, nor do I belong to you."

"Darling, why do you have to be so fickle in love?" Chi Xue mourned sorrowfully.

Zhong Yue then lowered his voice as he said, "An empress's will is unbendable, and the empire is her only concern. I cannot let my people down because of my personal affections."

Chi Xue chuckled, "How difficult to take advantage of you. Why don't you stay? Stay in Kun Lun, I am the Western Mother Empress and you can be the Eastern Father Emperor, we can each conquer one end of Kun Lun. You and me have both cultivated the Six Paths Wheels, we have 60,000 years to spend together, wouldn't that be nice?"

Zhong Yue shook his head while smiling, "I'd like to be the Eastern Father Emperor as well, but my people needs me more than anything else. I dare not lay back and relax for even a second. Maybe, when one day I have settled everything, I will come back and you can pass your throne away to your successor. Then, we can both be a pair of lovely birds."

Chi Xue knew words couldn't have penetrated through him anymore, so she stopped and smiled, "Let me tour your around. There are many gods in Kun Lun, I thought you should know as well what we are going to face against in the future."

Zhong Yue nodded, and the two started touring the Kun Lun Realm. The first place they came to was the Kua Fu Celestial Race. There, the Kua Fu experts and Kua Fuding tensed their muscles, and strained their nerves while staring closely at them.

"Zhong Shan Clan member, I know you are a disaster carrier, go back to your Ancestral Star and leave our Kun Lun as it is!"

Kua Fuding stepped forward, he smirked coldly while saying, "You and I are not done yet, we shall fight again!"

Zhong Yue startled for a second, he then nodded and left with Chi Xue.

After that, they came to a picturesque paradise hidden in a mountain. Shang Zhen God was hovering above the woods, glaring a pair of cold eyes at Zhong Yue while saying, "Zhong Shan Clan member, why are you here? I will never forgive you for killing my son, Shang Qing!"

Chi Xue brought him around, they were well received by the curse of gods, and also insincere talks.

Zhong Yue locked his brows deeper as time passes by. It was only when they visited the Tian Wu God that he was able to relieve the tension in his heart.

"Did you glean anything?" the future Western Mother Empress asked.

"Enemies. I have enemies all over Kun Lun."

Zhong Yue furrowed his brows, "But, how strange, they aren't doing anything. It felt like as if something is holding them back, like a near-eruption volcano that suppressed itself so as to deliver a stronger wave of calamity. I heard that was a West Barren god that seek refuge in the Kun Lun, he must be the one that is plotting all of these, trying to revenge on me."

Chi Xue nodded, "It is true, this Ancestral Star god is called the Yellow Snake, he found out of the hostility of the Kun Lun gods towards you, and gathered those who are interested to launch an assault. So, darling, what else do you see?"

"My enemies, are also yours. They are all related to those we've killed in the Returning Ruins."

Zhong Yue frowned, "When Western Mother Empress is still alive, they will not touch a single hair of yours. But once she leaves, you will have to face with their ragest assaults, they will first kill you and take the throne, then slaughter the humans in the Ancestral Star because of me."
