Xi Yue continued to cry, unable to speak, "Ji Mingyu, everyone said you were dead. But I know you will come back, and I know you won't abandon me. Because you promised me that you will be with me forever!"
"Yes, I, Nangong Yu, promised He Xi that I would stay with her for the rest of my life, holding her hand and growing old together, never to be separated. I, Ji Mingyu, also promised Xi Yue that I would never let go of your hand in this life!"
Xi Yue was stunned for a moment. She raised her head and looked at the man's face with tears in her eyes.
The man's face was still handsome, but he looked so haggard and dishevelled, with stubble growing out of his beard, as if he had gone through thousands of reincarnations.
"You... you remember?"
Ji Mingyu reached out and gently stroked her cheek, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, I remember everything. I remember our meeting, our knowing and loving each other, and the vows we made to each other. I am Ji Mingyu, and also Nangong Yu."
"Also, I couldn't answer your question back then, but now I can tell you with absolute certainty."
"Xi Yue, I love you, not because the origin of wood attracts me instinctively, not because you are a saint and I am the reincarnation of the God Emperor, but simply because you are you. Whether you are Nangong Yu or Ji Mingyu, my love for you has never changed, and it has never been mixed with any impurities."
Xi Yue stared at him blankly, her eyes were dazed, as if she was seeing something from the distant past.
Tears overflowed from my eyes little by little, and I couldn't tell whether it was joy, vicissitudes, or longing.
She didn't expect that even in the most desperate situation, good things would come.
Her Ji Mingyu is back, and her Nangong Yu is back too.
But…
Xi Yue gently stroked his thin cheeks and messy stubble.
With Ji Mingyu's cultivation level, what kind of vicissitudes did he go through to become so haggard
Ji Mingyu held her hand, a trace of annoyance flashing across his eyes.
With a movement of spiritual power in his body, the stubble and haggardness on his face disappeared instantly, and he became handsome again.
Instead, he and Xiyue are together, looking like an uncle and a young girl.
Ji Mingyu's mental training in the Divine Emperor Trial was like experiencing all the dozens of reincarnations he had experienced in order to relieve the Flowing Marrow Ice Prison.
To others, only a few dozen days have passed.
To him, it was a world of change, as if dozens of centuries had passed.
There are all kinds of temptations in these reincarnations, power, sex, wealth and fame, everything that human beings desire. He has experienced them, possessed them, and lost them.
What Ji Mingyu was most obsessed with was the life he was Nangong Yu.
Only after personally experiencing every bit of the relationship between Nangong Yu and Xi Yue did he realize how much Xi Yue loved Nangong Yu, and how much Nangong Yu loved Xi Yue.
That kind of feeling is even deeper than the one between him and Xi Yue.
Ji Mingyu was obsessed with it and at the same time jealous to the point of madness. He was almost trapped in it and could never get out.
The purpose of the Divine Emperor Trial is exactly this, to trap him in those reincarnations forever, so that he will be haunted by demons and will never be able to break through.
But in the end, he came to his senses.
Because he heard his girl crying.
He heard his girl saying that she missed him.
No matter how beautiful everything in the fantasy was, it was not his Xier after all.
And his Xi'er has been waiting for him! Waiting for him to come back! (To be continued)
