"Young man, what do you mean by this?"

[Xuanfeng looked at the divine consciousness that had retreated to a corner within her sea of ​​consciousness, her gaze warily scanning the surroundings.]

"You can do your possession, don't worry about me."

[He replied impatiently, then focused his attention back on the three spiritual objects before him, waiting for his cultivation to surge.]

Could it be that he really doesn't want to live anymore?

After probing several times, Xuanfeng muttered to himself.

Never mind!

It doesn't have much time left. If it misses this opportunity, it will likely vanish completely from this seal soon.

With this in mind, Xuanfeng no longer hesitated, transforming into a streak of black light and plunging into the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness.

The familiar feeling of being peeled away returned, and the physical body began to transform at an terrifying speed.

[Over the years, although your body refinement cultivation has reached a bottleneck, you still continuously absorb the power of moonlight whenever you have free time.]

Now, with the Xuanfeng possession as a catalyst, coupled with the moonlight accumulated over the past three hundred years, the energy within his body reached his cultivation bottleneck in an instant.

【"Boom!"】

A surge of immense blood energy erupted, forming a crimson tide like ocean waves around you, slowly spreading outwards in layers.

Sensing the domineering power surging within you, your expression hardens slightly, and your fingertips swiftly form several profound hand seals. The three spiritual fruits hanging before you tremble violently, then their outer skins slowly peel away, transforming into three streams of light of different colors, all disappearing into your inner world.

【"Phew~"

You exhale a long breath; although the excruciating pain hasn't completely subsided, a delicate balance has been achieved within your body.

Therefore, all we need to do is wait for the transformation.

"You really won't resist?"

[Xuanfeng's voice rang out again.]

Just as you were about to say something to fool it, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

[Boom!]

The dome of the entire underground palace shattered with a deafening roar, sending debris raining down like a storm. Amidst the billowing dust, a figure in black, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, crashed down in front of you.

【Buzz~】

Black spiritual energy rose up, firmly protecting you and shielding you from all falling debris and dust.

You slowly raised your head and saw Gu Wudao looking down at you expressionlessly.

A chilling, oppressive atmosphere crept in, and you instinctively shrank back.

How scary!

Cultivating immortality isn't easy, but the performance must continue.

"Husband... my lord~"

You leaned against the stone pillar, forcing a less-than-attractive smile, and reached out to tug at his hem, a hint of pleading in your eyes.

Gu Wudao's gaze was extremely complex.

There was confusion, anger, and a vague, inexplicable sense of fear.

[He is Gu Wudao, who could possibly instill fear in him? And when has he ever feared anyone?]

【"Cough cough cough~"

The violent coughing made Gu Wudao's body react before he could think; by the time he came to his senses, the person was already in his arms.

Feeling the rapid transformation of his body, you dared not waste any more time and laboriously raised your hand to stroke his cheek.

Gu Wudao didn't stop you, but he didn't make any unnecessary moves either.

"Husband, are you blaming me?"

[You forcefully suppressed the pain within you and uttered a slightly playful remark, just like your usual endearing and coquettish manner.]

[But this simple sentence, coupled with his inevitable death, made Gu Wudao feel as if his long-dormant heart had been struck a heavy blow.]

Countless images swirled in his mind, mostly scenes of the two of them spending time together.

It wasn't a grand vow of eternal love, nor a resolute promise to live and die together; it was simply the most ordinary of everyday moments, which at this moment transformed into the sharpest blade, piercing the softest corner of his heart.

Humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?

[But Gu Wudao has never truly understood his own heart, nor is he willing to.]

The word "love" is the greatest burden on the path of cultivation; this is a truth he understood from the very first day he entered the world of cultivation.

Even his parents, who seemed to treat each other with utmost respect and were a powerful alliance, had absolutely no affection for each other; everything they did was for profit.

【But...】

Gu Wudao didn't know how to express this unfamiliar emotion, but the next moment, a hoarse voice that even he himself found unfamiliar uttered:

"I'm not blaming you."

Human emotions are extremely complex.

[Attracted by looks, but loyal to talent is merely a facade.]

The ultimate factor in the sublimation of a relationship is the harmony of souls; it is a unique bond that arises from two hearts polishing and understanding each other over a long period of time.

Watching the pink mist gradually dissipate, you know you've succeeded.

The highest level of acting is not acting at all, but completely immersing yourself in the long script with your "real" self.

You did it.

This game, however, did leave you somewhat exhausted in the simulation.

This is too difficult.

"My husband, I know you aspire to the pinnacle."

When he denied it, a sweet smile appeared on your face.

"Qingyu deserves to die anyway, and I don't want to drag you down with her."

Why?

Gu Wudao's divine sense enveloped you, and as he gazed at the giant black bird deep within your sea of ​​consciousness, a boundless killing intent gradually surged in his eyes.

【"don't want!"】

You quickly reached out and hugged his neck, pressing yourself tightly into his embrace.

"My husband, please listen to me."

Gu Wudao hesitated for a moment, then finally stopped.

The possession has begun, and no one can stop it. Forcing it will only hasten your death.

"I know you're collecting information on special constitutions, cough cough cough..."

You whispered in his ear, reveling in the bliss of being enveloped in pink mist.

"I...I've already awakened about forty percent of my Azure Phoenix Sacred Body, which should be of great help to my husband."

"Lin Qingyu, you..."

You raised your hand to stop him from speaking before he could, and red cracks appeared on your fair skin, the pain suddenly intensifying.

"To be able to marry someone like you in this life is already a stolen blessing. Qingyu is very happy and proud of you."

The pink mist suddenly intensified.

Gu Wudao's pupils suddenly contracted, and the surging bitterness in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Your consciousness is becoming increasingly blurred. The powerful energy seems to be breaking through some bottleneck, but when you look at the expressionless boy with reddened eyes, you still freeze for a moment.

[Great opportunity!]

With all your might, you tilted your head back and kissed the corner of his eye.

"Gu Wudao! You are a born king. Don't cry for me. Just... just go to a higher and farther world, okay?"

"Yes, my husband promises."

Her fair arms slowly drooped down.

Gu Wudao looked calmly at your face, a hint of doting even playing on his lips.

At this moment, his heart was at peace; he was simply thinking:

Did she hear her own final reply...?
