Chapter 718: Seal
His face seemed to be hidden in the mist, and she couldn’t see him clearly, but that voice sounded familiar as if she had heard it somewhere before.
For some reason, Chu Liuyue confirmed that the ‘Yue’er’ was calling her!
Who is that man? Why is he calling my name, and in such a close tone… Chu Liuyue almost instinctively wanted to move forward, but her body seemed to be stuck to the ground, and she couldn’t move an inch.
The distance between the two of them couldn’t be shortened no matter what, and that man didn’t seem to be anxious as he extended his hand. It seemed as though he was waiting for her to go over.
He stood upright, and the wind blew over, blowing his black clothes. He was like a mandala placed in the dark, yet he floated like a deity.
Chu Liuyue opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but no words could come out.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two of them, and they couldn’t get close to each other.
You are…
You are… Instincts told Chu Liuyue that she knew this man, and her chest was filled with an urge to shout out his name. It was as if she could remember who he was once she called out his name.
But Chu Liuyue couldn’t yell it out no matter what, and she gradually started to become anxious.
Suddenly, a golden light ray floated past her eyes.
Chu Liuyue immediately descended into a sparkly gold color, and she couldn’t see anything clearly. The next moment, it was as if something harshly pulled her.
Her body fell forward!
Bam!
Everything in front of her suddenly disappeared!
…
Tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Within the extremely exquisite loft, a figure sat by the window. He changed into a black attire today and looked extra cold.
At this point, a chessboard was placed in front of him.
36 Respected Elder Ming was opposite him.
His long, white fingers held up a white chess piece, and he paused in his actions when it landed in midair.
“Your Highness?” 36 Respected Elder Ming looked up at the man opposite him strangely. He is always swift and decisive when playing chess and would never stop halfway. It seems like he was thinking of something.
36 Respected Elder Ming was about to ask when he suddenly saw a spark of golden fire on the man’s fingertips.
That fire rapidly formed half a seal in midair before rapidly disappearing.
Whoosh!
The chess piece in between his fingers suddenly became white mist as it dispersed into the air.
36 Respected Elder Ming squinted his eyes. His Highness actually used such a seal at this time…
“Your Highness, did something happen?”
Rong Xiu shook his head, and his thin lips curled up into a light smile. “Nothing.”
It’s just that… She opened the seal to the pyramid faster than I thought.
36 Respected Elder Ming saw his relaxed expression and the smile on his lips, as well as the vague love and pride in his eyes, and he roughly guessed what happened. “Is it related to the Princess Consort?”
Rong Xiu smiled as he picked up another chess piece and placed it down.
Pak!
“En. She should be thinking of me,” said Rong Xiu calmly and righteously.
36 Respected Elder Ming instantly pouted in contempt. You can just directly say that you miss your wife, yet you must say that she misses you. How pompous!
“Your Highness, it seems that your skin is getting thicker,” said 36 Respected Elder Ming rudely.
Rong Xiu smiled with deep meaning and didn’t mind him saying this as he raised his brows. “…I was just speaking the truth, but I don’t know…”
I don’t know what aspect of me she is thinking about?
…
Chu Liuyue suddenly recovered her senses and breathed in heavily. Her forehead was filled with cold sweat, and her clothes were already drenched. They stuck close to her body, and it was very uncomfortable.
A soft feeling came.
Chu Liuyue looked up in a daze and saw that Little Nine had leaned over with worry in its eyes. She woke up from the dream. Just now… that scene… It didn’t seem to be an illusion, but… a memory!
Chu Liuyue tightly pressed her lips against each other, and she panicked slightly in her heart. This memory cannot belong to Chu Liuyue’s body. Then… Us it mine? But I never had this memory in my twenty-plus years of life! Could it be… I really forgot something?!
Chu Liuyue unwittingly clenched her fists as the light breeze blew over, and she felt a chill down her spine.
The first time this scene appeared, she thought it was a mistake or an illusion. But this time… She clearly felt that the entire scene was much clearer than before.
It was as if she took out something that had been put away for a long time as she tried to wipe away the dust on it to reveal its original appearance gradually.
Chu Liuyue rarely had such an expression. She vaguely felt that she had forgotten something important, but she herself didn’t even know what it was.
The more uneasy thing was that the man in black seemed to be a very important person to her!
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and suppressed her messy feelings. She then looked at the black pyramid within her dantian again and realized that the tiny cracks were still on it. However, the faint glow coming from inside had disappeared.
At first glance, there seemed to be darkness and nothingness beneath the crack. The seal did indeed break, but it didn’t completely open.
Chu Liuyue tried to move the seal, but it was to no avail.
“Girl, that crack was split open by the Heavenly Dao strength when you made an agreement with this red-tailed phoenix. It’s not that easy if you want to open it with your own strength!” Shangguan Jing’s voice suddenly sounded.
Chu Liuyue was shocked. “Agreement? Heavenly Dao?”
“Hm? Don’t you know? This red-tailed phoenix has already become your legendary fiend! When the ninth-grade fiend broke through to become a legendary fiend, the strength from the Heavenly Dao it summoned was trapped within the ninth bolt of lightning. This fellow almost failed to endure it previously, but it managed to pass this barrier after it made an agreement with you. And naturally, a portion of the strength from the Heavenly Dao was given to you.
An idea popped up in Chu Liuyue’s head. Now that I’ve changed into another body, I naturally had to make another agreement with Little Nine. Thinking about it now, it seems like we unwittingly succeeded in making an agreement when Little Nine scratched my neck?
Chu Liuyue touched her neck.
The wound wasn’t considered big. Even though Little Nine attacked her when it almost lost its rationality, it still relied on its own strength to avoid all the vital points at the very last second.
This wound had already formed a scab, and she could recover after some treatment.
Back then, she just thought of summoning Little Nine back to help it make it through the ninth bolt of lightning. She didn’t expect to make an agreement with it with a freak combination of factors.
It proved that the connection between them couldn’t be cut off no matter what!
“The thing in your body went through the Heavenly Dao strength and became like this. It’s a pity that the strength of the seal is too great, and it seemed to fix itself…” Shangguan Jing’s voice had a tinge of regret. He originally thought he could use this chance to resolve the seal completely!
Chu Liuyue kept quiet for a moment and said determinedly,”One day, I will open this seal.”
