Chapter 186 The First Reunion
Life suddenly became peaceful. The Ye Luoli warriors returned to their homes and continued their school and daily lives as usual. The Lingxi Pavilion masters also stayed at home, wanting to recover their immortal power as soon as possible.
However, this time the Flower Breath Restoration Technique had extracted far too much immortal power. No matter how much immortal power the Saint-level fairy or the few lesser fairies tried to recover, they were still severely depleted.
Meanwhile, Shui Qingli, who had been granted "leave of absence" by Yan Jue, did not leave the Shui Linglong Palace at all...
[Fairyland, Pure Water Lake, Water Crystal Palace]
As darkness fell, Shui Qingli lay languidly on her throne, taking out the Worldly Armor she had obtained from the Book of Destiny that day and examining it closely.
A sliver of light, deep in the lake, shone on the purple gemstone, casting a dim glow. As Shui Qingli gazed at the exquisite armor, her thoughts drifted far away.
In truth, the culprit behind this whole affair is undoubtedly himself...
In that great war thousands of years ago, countless ancient saint-level fairies risked their lives to finally be able to seal the Ten Dharma Forms.
Furthermore, to prevent Yue Yuanming from breaking the seal, they also dispersed his immortal power into six pieces of the Worldly Armor, which were scattered throughout the immortal realm and the human world.
What Shui Qingli has obtained now is only one of them.
What role did he play at that time?
Shui Qingli thought about it. At that time, he deeply realized the horror of forbidden power, so he secretly helped those ancient fairies to seal all the Dharma forms, including himself.
However, Shui Qingli is different from other Dharma forms. Even Yue Yuanming was helpless against this seal, but he did not expect that he would have such a special ability to ignore the seal and leave on his own.
But what exactly did those eyes behind the mask mean back then...?
The ring, unnoticed by anyone, emitted a faint black light. Shui Qingli felt herself getting sleepier and sleepier until she closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
[!] Upon detecting that Shui Qingli had suddenly lost consciousness, Qianqian in his mind immediately became alert. She had a feeling that Shui Qingli would fall into a deep sleep, and that someone must have tampered with it.
However, after realizing who the culprit was, she felt relieved and did not remind Shui Qingli. Instead, she immediately returned to a state of having no contact with the outside world.
—I vaguely remember that one of the most important rules of the system was not to pry into the host's private affairs.
The next moment, the ring and the World-Speaking Armor lit up almost simultaneously, and a tall figure condensed in the light. He wore a white robe embroidered with golden patterns, a unique thorn crown on his head, and black smoke emanated from his body, giving off an invisible pressure.
If Shui Qingli were still conscious at this moment, she would be very surprised, because this person is none other than the head of the Ten Dharma Aspects, World King Yue Yuanming.
There was nothing wrong with the seal, and Yue Yuanming did not actually leave the forbidden area. He was merely temporarily forming a body using the power of the Worldly Armor and the primordial spirit in the ring.
Yue Yuanming gazed at Shui Qingli's sleeping face for a long time. Even though the person he longed for was so close, a complex feeling arose in his heart—
She wanted to pull Shui Qingli into her arms, but she was also afraid of his disgusted and fearful eyes—that resistance before their separation had already hurt him too many times.
However, Shui Qingli is still unconscious, so... there's no need to worry, right?
Thinking this, Yue Yuanming tentatively picked up the Worldly Armor from Shui Qingli's hand, put it aside, and then carefully held his hand, interlocking their fingers.
Seeing that Shui Qingli had no reaction, Yue Yuanming became a little bolder. The small throne was ultimately affecting his performance, so he used his immortal power to lift Shui Qingli up and held him in his arms as he wished.
Feeling the familiar, sharp yet calm aura emanating from Shui Qingli, just like when they first met, Yue Yuanming felt extremely at ease. He had always felt that only with Shui Qingli by his side could he suppress his innate destructive and tyrannical nature.
However, Yue Yuanming couldn't remember the last time he had been able to get along so harmoniously with Shui Qingli. Ever since that day of their falling out, there had always been a tense atmosphere between them, whether in ordinary times or in special places like the bed.
An inexplicable misunderstanding has always existed between them. Emotions and memories, like shattered glass, have deeply pierced a loving heart, leaving them both scarred.
So he gave up his emotions for him, and he lost his memory because of him.
Their unwillingness to possess and their determination to escape drove them further and further apart. Yue Yuanming thought that as long as he let Shui Qingli go free and let him calm down, the last bit of affection between them could be preserved. But in the end, things didn't go as planned.
