Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 276 But for Your Majesty
Yun Yi suddenly woke up, as if he had a nightmare. He hugged Song Xinci tightly in his arms and felt her carefully before he breathed a sigh of relief.

He gently rubbed the corner of his wife's eyes with his chin, and found that the woman in his arms was real and not fake, which made him feel relieved.

Song Xinci was very upset the whole night and naturally couldn't sleep.

She was struggling with whether to tell Yun Yi about her awakening of her past life memories, fearing that being so frank would make her lose him.

So she pretended to have just woken up and asked drowsily, "What's wrong?"

Yun Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, I just had a nightmare."

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed that you were about to ascend to heaven suddenly. I was chasing you and calling your name, Xinci. I can't live without you, Xinci!" Yun Yi said and burst out laughing.

Unfortunately, Song Xinci tried to force a smile for a long time but still couldn't.

She really couldn't laugh. Last night, as her memory awakened, she merged the "Taishangwangdao" of the two lives into one. Now it was really the critical moment of ascension.

So Yun Yi’s “dream may come true” at any time.

Yun Yi asked doubtfully, "You...seem strange?"

Song Xinci said guiltily, "What's so strange about that? You were busy for so long last night, isn't it okay for me to be tired?"

Now it was Yun Yi's turn to feel guilty, but men are thick-skinned. He smiled playfully and leaned forward to give her a kiss, then said, "Are you hungry or thirsty? I'll get you a glass of water."

In the world of the painting, Yun Yi took great care of Song Xinci, and for a moment he even forgot that she had recovered her cultivation and no longer had any worldly desires.

Song Xinci hugged Yun Yi tightly, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yun Yi said, "Stop pretending, you just have something on your mind."

"Ah."

"I didn't have any worries before, but why do I feel so worried now after getting married? Is there something wrong with my behavior?"

Song Xinci put a finger on Yun Yi's lips and said, "Let's talk about business."

Yun Yi shut up obediently and nodded with a "hmm".

Song Xinci said seriously, "I know why you hid from me in Wuming Town, why you knew the whereabouts of the 'Nine Revolutions Soul-Fixing Orb', and why you warned Zhuque to be wary of Nian Nujiao... I've figured it all out."

Yun Yi's expression suddenly changed, and he gradually tightened his arms around his wife.

"Like you, I have now awakened my memories of my past life. After you fell from the Cliff of Absolute Heaven, I died with you under the influence of the Tongxin Gu."

The fact that she could actually say the three words "Juetianya" meant that she was not lying, or she had noticed something through Yun Yi's dream talking.

That was Yun Yi's biggest secret in this life, the cause of his death in his previous life, and the fundamental reason why he had always been targeting Futian Pavilion.

He had already buried this secret deep in his heart. Unless his soul was searched, there was no way he could let others know it.

Yun Yi's body couldn't stop shaking, and he was so nervous that his voice changed slightly, "Xinci...you?"

Song Xinci said firmly: "I will never leave you in this life. Even my past life could not change my mind about this."

She stared into Yun Yi's eyes, trying to calm him down. As expected, Yun Yi gradually calmed down.

He asked, "What do you remember?"

Song Xinci replied, "It's not complete. Most of it is about you. As for the other memories, it may take some time to fully digest them."

She reached out and gently stroked Yun Yi's cheek: "Don't be afraid."

Yun Yi smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Even in my past life, I have never done anything to let you down."

"Actually... I've always failed you." Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly romantic, the newlyweds realized that this was not the time for fooling around, so Yun Yi took the initiative to change the subject, saying, "After I died that day, I inexplicably returned to the nameless town where we first met, and I still have my memory."

Song Xinci echoed, "I can't tell whether it's Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou."

"Before, I just thought I was lucky, so I never thought about why I was the one who was reborn. But if you have also recovered your memory, it means that there may be another mystery behind this incident."

"Also, my situation is somewhat different from yours. My previous life's 'Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness' has been restored along with my memories. It has become one with the Dao I'm cultivating in this life, and it's difficult to separate them."

Yun Yi was stunned after hearing this, "Then aren't you going to turn back into that ruthless and heartless person again?"

Song Xinci asked back, "Do I have it?"

No, her eyes don't lie.

Song Xinci said: "If I were to return to my former self, I would have kept the fact that I had recovered my memory a secret from you, so that I could make better use of you."

Yun Yi felt the same way: "If it were you in your previous life, you would have done the same thing."

"But I don't want any estrangement or deception between you and me, Yun Yi. In fact, we have both changed."

This is true. He went from being obsessed with Song Xinci to being a swordsman who roamed freely in the world.

One realizes the higher level of "Tai Shang Wang Qing", no longer sticking to the love between men and women, but having more love for the common people.

Yun Yi and Song Xinci even inexplicably developed a feeling that the experiences in their previous lives were like a stepping stone to help them reach higher places.

Yun Yi said, "Actually, whether it's Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou, we don't need to dwell on it for now. Instead, we should focus on the present."

Song Xinci said: "And the biggest trouble right now is... I seem to be about to ascend."

"what?!"

The nightmare is about to come true!
"In this life, I've only just entered the Hedao realm, but with Senior Wang Shenlai's help in completing my sword path, my state of mind is actually far superior to my previous life, but I'm still lacking in maturity. However, the Supreme Forgetfulness I possessed in my previous life was able to fill that gap, allowing me to directly reach the late stage of the Hedao realm."

Yun Yi was both excited and disappointed, "That's fine, ascending to heaven has always been your wish."

"But it's not anymore. Now I just want to stay in the human world with you."

"New porcelain..."

"Senior Pei can give up his ascension for Yu Wuxia, and I can do the same."

Song Xinci's tone was calm, but his determination was self-evident.

Yun Yi had no doubt that his wife had actually made up her mind to give up ascending to heaven and stay in the human world.

No one could have imagined that the He Dao Ascension that everyone longed for had now become something that Song Xinci feared like a tiger.

If she is willing to give up all her cultivation and abandon the "Supreme Way of Forgetting Love", she will naturally no longer need to ascend.

But the problem is that the Futian Pavilion is now hiding in the dark, and a conspiracy that will sweep across the three realms is brewing. Dispersing one's cultivation is tantamount to committing suicide.

Then Song Xinci said the answer that he had come up with after pondering for a whole night: "I need to go into seclusion for a while. I must find a way to stabilize the Supreme Forgetfulness Dao at the Hedao realm."

If other cultivators heard this, they would want to commit suicide on the spot. Others go into seclusion to make breakthroughs, but you do so to stagnate.

God is never fair.

Yun Yi couldn't find a better way for the time being, so he said helplessly, "This is the only way."

"But before that, we must first get rid of this scourge, Yi Tianxing. In the last life, he caused you and me to be seriously injured. In this life, I will shatter his dream of ascending to heaven!"

At this moment, Song Xinci had a bit more of the arrogance of his "previous life".
