Chapter 1480 - Qianye’s Choice (1/2)

Brahma Monarch God Realm, Goddess Hall.

A small and withered old man dressed in a gray robe bowed before Qianye Ying’er. He said with a hoarse voice that was difficult to understand, “Miss, what instructions do you have for this old servant?”

“Uncle Gu,” when Qianye Ying’er talked with Gu Zhu in the past, her back or side was always facing him. But she faced him directly today, “You’re my servant and also my teacher. Other than Royal Father, you’re the person who is closest to me and the only one I trust in this world.”

Qianye Ying’er’s words caused Gu Zhu’s aura to tremble slightly, “It looks like Miss has a great task for me today. Even if this old servant has to die ten thousand times, Miss just needs to say the word and this old servant will do it.”

Qianye Ying’er stretched out her hand and a brilliant golden light formed on her fingertips which was accompanied by a gentle ringing sound.

That extremely strange aura caused Gu Zhu to look up, “Brahma Soul Bell?”

“The God Emperor actually bestowed the Brahma Soul Bell to Miss… Haha, this is great, congratulations Miss on attaining your lifelong wish earlier than expected.” Gu Zhu’s peaceful voice contained faint joy and gladness.

But what Qianye Ying’er did next caused Gu Zhu’s deep and hooded old eyes to bulge violently

Qianye Ying’er flicked a delicate finger and the Brahma Soul Bell instantly left her hand and flew towards Gu Zhu.

Gu Zhu’s withered body blurred. Not only did he not touch the Brahma Soul Bell, he even flashed to a spot thirty odd meters away in a single instant, allowing the core divine artifact of the Brahma Monarch God Realm to land on the ground. When it landed on the ground, it emitted a gentle ring that caused one’s heart to vibrate.

“Miss, you…” Gu Zhu was unbelievably shocked and utterly puzzled by Qianye Ying’er’s actions.

Qianye Ying’er did not take back the Brahma Soul Bell that had landed on the ground. Instead, she turned her gaze and calmly said, “Uncle Gu, I am now handing the Brahma Soul Bell to you. I will have to trouble you to return it to Royal Father in six hours… Remember, it must be after six hours. Within this time period, you must not let anyone know that it is with you.”

“This… you must not!” Gu Zhu shook his head and did not take a single step nearer, “The Brahma Soul Bell must only ever be in the hands of a Brahma Heaven God Emperor, how can you allow an outsider to touch it!”

“I have my own reasons for doing this,” Qianye Ying’er said. “Uncle Gu, you don’t possess any Brahma divine power, so you will not be able to use the Brahma Soul Bell. Moreover, you have been at my side for so many years and are my most trusted person. Another more ironic reason is that the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark that Royal Father planted on you back then still exists inside your body. So you are the one person who will never be able to go against his wishes and thus, I have no worries whatsoever.”

“Also, this is an order!”

The air solidified for a long while before Gu Zhu finally sighed. He stepped forward and stretched out a withered hand from under his gray robe. An invisible profound energy lifted up the Brahma Soul Bell before he stored it into the pocket of space he carried around with him… During the entire process, the Brahma Soul Bell had not come into contact with his body.

“Miss, may this old servant know the reason for this?” Gu Zhu asked. In the past, if Qianye Ying’er did not explain, he would have never asked.

“You will know soon enough.” Qianye Ying’er did not explain anything as she pushed her palms forward once again. “All of these Brahma Monarch secret texts and the profound tools that Royal Father bestowed on me back then, please safeguard them for now. Before I retrieve them from you again, you must not allow them to be damaged in the slightest.”

Gu Zhu accepted his orders without saying anything.

“This is the【Void Illusion Stone】that Royal Father bestowed on me back then, keep it with you for the time being as well.”

However, Gu Zhu did not take the item this time as he said, “Miss, no matter what you are preparing to do, your safety comes first. With Miss’ abilities, you have nothing to fear in this world. But, if you don’t keep this Void Illusion Stone, this old servant will not be at ease.”

“...Alright.” Qianye Ying’er said after thinking about it for a moment. She stored the Void Illusion Stone away before taking out a grayish-white stone slab.

This slab was smooth in shape but it had no aura to speak of and could not even be counted as a low-grade spirit stone. It appeared to be a completely ordinary stone, holes of different sizes evenly dotted across its surface.

She silently looked at it without saying a single word for a long time… The number one goddess in the Eastern Region was holding an ordinary piece of stone that did not radiate any spiritual strength in her hands, and this scene was unspeakably incongruous.

“Does Miss also want to leave this ‘remnant’ with this old servant?” Gu Zhu asked.

The light in Qianye Ying’er’s eyes fluctuated for a while, but in the end, she did not leave it with Gu Zhu. Instead, she slowly put the stone slab away. At this moment, her expression suddenly changed subtly as her tone became exceptionally icy, “Uncle Gu, get ready, I need you to ‘imprison’ a portion of my memory.”

“This… no matter what reasons you have, you must not do it!” Gu Zhu shook his head slowly, “If anything goes wrong at all during this process, Miss’s soul may be severely damaged and that portion of your memories might even disappear completely.”

“I have already made up my mind. There is no need to say anything else.” Qianye Ying’er was not only cruel towards others, she was also cruel towards herself. “Listen carefully to the words that I’m about to say and remember them well. You must not miss out or forget a single word that I’m about to say!”

………

Moon God Realm, the god emperor’s bedchambers.

Yun Che had been silently thinking this entire time. He simply had too many things to think about recently. After an indeterminate amount of time had passed, the bedchamber doors finally swung open and Xia Qingyue silently strode in and stood in front of Yun Che. Instantly, it was as if a bright moon had risen inside this cold and desolate bedchamber as every corner of the room started to glow brightly.

Yun Che opened his eyes and stretched his body. He muttered in a dissatisfied voice, “What have you been doing all this time! Even though I am no longer your husband, I’m still an honored guest! How can you just throw me here and disregard me!?”

Xia Qingyue cast a sideways glance at him and said, “Don’t you have Yao Yue to accompany you? With a beauty like Yao Yue by your side, you actually feel bored? And it seems like… you did not make a move on her? This does not seem to fit your nature at all.”

“Hahaha…” Yun Che laughed while gritting his teeth. “She's a Moon God! What kind of move can I even make on her!?”

“You don’t dare because she is a Moon God?” Xia Qingyue smiled half-heartedly. “Is there really any woman that you don’t dare to touch in this universe?”

Xia Qingyue had flippantly said that to irritate him but Yun Che could not help but feel guilty when he heard that. He curled his lips. “You’re the Moon God Emperor now, what’s more, Little Sister Yao Yue is still present. Don’t say things that will ruin the prestige of a god emperor!”

Yao Yue, “???”

“Also, what have you been up to? Is there news from the Brahma Monarch God Realm? I sure hope that our efforts were not in vain,” Yun Che said.

“We have just received an important guest,” Xia Qingyue replied nonchalantly.
