Chapter 1289 - You’re So Big Now! (1/2)

Once one’s cultivation reached the divine way, their body could exist within the vacuum of space with no repercussions. But this was the first time that Yun Che had truly travelled through the starry expanse of the universe.

As time quietly flowed by, the two people had lost count of how many stars they had passed by as the Vanishing Moon Celestial Palace continued flying forward.

“So it turns out that all the strange situations that you kept finding yourself in in the past were actually because the Heavenly Slaughter Star God was by your side.”

“Weren’t the things that happened to you even more inconceivable?” Yun Che said with a small chuckle. “This world is so big, yet sometimes, it’s so very small.”

“When we got married all those years ago, you were still only in the Elementary Profound Realm. Yet in a short two decades, you have already become the Eastern Divine Region’s ‘Conferred God Number One’.” She looked at Yun Che while speaking in a heartfelt voice, “Perhaps, you truly are as they say… the child of the heavens.”

“That’s definitely not the case,” Yun Che said with an extremely nimble wave of his hand. What child of the heavens? Those nine rounds of tribulation lightning were clearly desperately and frantically trying to strike him to death, but in the end, it could do nothing but helplessly tremble beneath the might of the Evil God as it dissipated powerlessly. But in the eyes of the world and coupled with the words of those three old con men from the Heavenly Mystery Realm, it was as if that nine stage lightning tribulation had announced the birth of the “child of the heavens” to the world.

“During the last few years, have you never thought of returning to the Profound Sky Continent?” Yun Che asked.

“There was not a single moment or time that I did not feel like returning,” Xia Qingyue said with a sigh. “But, I did not dare to. I was afraid that foster father was still angry with my father… and even the Profound Sky Continent itself.”

“...” Yun Che gave a faint nod of his head as he gave a heavy sigh in his heart. He understood all too well what Xia Qingyue was feeling, because the current him was unable to return home either.

They were not those old monsters who had already lived for tens of thousands of years, who had grown more and more indifferent to things like feelings and emotions.

“Then what about you?” Xia Qingyue asked.

“I was supposed to go back within the next two years, but…” Yun Che helplessly shook his head, “I created far too great a commotion, so it can't be helped anymore. I will be entering the Eternal Heaven Pearl next, and I will have to wait at least three years before I can try to find an opportunity to return.”

When the two of them had first arrived at the God Realm, they had never thought that they would actually somehow, within a few short years, actually be able to reach a height where they were able to move the clouds within the Eastern Divine Region… At the same time, it had also saddled them with a multitude of heavy burdens and worries.

“If we have such an opportunity, let’s go back together,” he softly said as he looked at the side of Xia Qingyue’s face.

“...” Xia Qingyue remained silent for a long time before she finally gave a light nod of her head, “Alright.”

Can I still even return… She closed her eyes and was not able to find herself within her own heart and soul… Today’s choice had protected Yun Che’s dignity yet it had also cause her to turn her back on the foster father to whom she owed a mountain of gratitude, and her own birth mother. It had also caused her to become the great sinner of the entire Moon God Realm.

I no longer have the right to live for my own sake for the rest of my life…

During the time she lapsed into deep silence, Yun Che had always been silently looking at her.

They left Divine Moon City more than twenty hours ago, so their hearts and minds had already grown calm quite a while back. But, from the start to the end, he could sense the heavy aura of melancholy that shrouded Xia Qingyue’s body… and this aura had not even lessened by a single degree.

“Qingyue, I know that, right now, the only thing that is dominating your thoughts is how to ‘atone for your sins’ after you return.” Yun Che’s words broke the train of Xia Qingyue’s thoughts. He crossed both hands over his chest and said with the resolute manner of a husband, “Do not always think of taking it on all by yourself. You’re not that self-sacrificing, nor do you need to be that self-sacrificing. Since you still consider me your husband, then don’t you think that relying on me is only natural?”

“I already said that this has nothing…”

“Whether it has anything to do with me is for me to decide,” Yun Che cut her off before a very relaxed and confident smile played across his lips. “Perhaps you’re worried that the Moon God Emperor will kill me with a single slap the moment he sees me. But don’t forget that I am still slapped with the label of the “child of the heavens”. As long as he does not completely lose his sense of rationality, he is unlikely to go so far as to wantonly kill me without clearing up matters first… Furthermore, I do have a plan that will not only calm his anger, but it might just end up with him feeling grateful towards me in the end.”

“So, you don’t need to bring me to the Eternal Heaven Realm first. Instead, it will be I who accompanies you to the Moon God Realm first.”

“?” Xia Qingyue’s beautiful eyes swivelled towards him. Yun Che did not seem to be faking his confident and composed look so she asked, “What plan?”

Yun Che’s plan was naturally to use the Great Way of the Buddha to replenish Yue Wugou’s lifeforce. However, he did not intend to say it, because it was something that even the Moon God Emperor was unable to accomplish, so just why would the rest of the world believe that he could do it just because he said so. Furthermore… he was also afraid that Yue Wugou’s condition was far more serious than he currently anticipated and at that time, it would instead cause Xia Qingyue to lose the very last bit of hope that she held in her heart.

“Of course, it’s to send him a great gift that he will definitely be overjoyed with.” Yun Che thought about it for a moment and his eyes faintly flashed as he spoke with a mysterious look on his face, “Cough, this great present is rather unique, so I will only be able to tell you if you close your eyes.”

Xia Qingyue’s delicate brows gently drew together. It seemed as if she really wanted to know the method that “Yun Che” had mentioned, so she complied with his words and closed her eyes.

The beauty had closed her eyes and the clean and bright light of the Celestial Palace illuminated her body, it was as if she was a painting of a peerlessly beautiful goddess illuminated by moonlight, as she floated down to earth. Her robes were as white as snow, yet they paled in comparison to her beautiful skin which, was as lustrous as white jade and as smooth as rouge.

She simply stood there quietly, her breathtaking beauty and grace assaulted him head on. She was as beautiful as a fairy and even the words “transcending all conventional understanding” would barely be able to describe her!

Twelves years ago, Xia Qingyue was already beautiful enough to cause the ruin of cities and countries, and her current beauty had transcended this earthly world to an even greater degree. Even Yun Che had instances where he could not quite believe that this person was actually his wife.

Unfortunately for him, he had not touched her once over the past twelve years!!

He took a few steps forward before arriving in front of the completely defenceless Xia Qingyue and wrapped an arm around her waist. He did not wait for Xia Qingyue to react, planting a heavy kiss on her lips.

As those four lips came into contact with each other, Yun Che felt as if the lips he was kissing were just like orchid jade ointment. They were warm, soft, and satiny but they were also tinged with a sweet moist chill.

Xia Qingyue’s beautiful eyes widened into circles, her entire body suddenly went rigid, and she was about to involuntarily let out a sound but just as her pearly teeth parted, Yun Che took the opportunity to push his tongue inside. His tongue touched her fragrant tongue which wriggled around helplessly as he plundered a mouthful of her flavor.
