"This is for you."
Lan Chiyu, what are you still expecting? You fed him the Mengpo Soup with your own hands. Do you still expect him to recognize you?
Gu Yuan's dark eyes fixed on my face. His eyebrows twitched, and he continued, "This time, I will never let you slip through my fingers again."
My eyes widened in surprise, but I didn't understand what Gu Yuan meant for a moment.
Just as I was about to ask for clarification, my heart surged with demonic energy like a volcanic eruption.
This time, my subconscious was clear, but my body wouldn't obey me at all.
The voices that came out were not just mine. Three voices resounded together, and the powerful force made the entire Purple Star Palace tremble.
"Today, I'll make the Three Realms accompany me to my doom."
As soon as the words were spoken, Chi Yu's body slowly rose into the air. When she spread her arms, the whole Heavenly Realm was filled with flying yellow dust, as if a sandstorm that had lasted for ten thousand years had arrived.
Tornadoes swirling with lightning rolled towards the Heavenly Court from outside the Heavenly Realm.
The power was too strong. If this continued, it might really be like what Ying Gou said, and all sentient beings in the Three Realms would suffer this catastrophe.
Gu Yuan stood up from the ground and pulled out the dagger from his lower back.
Fortunately, the wound wasn't very deep. As soon as the dagger was pulled out, the wound had already healed.
Seeing Gu Yuan's powerful healing ability, the Heavenly Emperor calmly swallowed his saliva and said to Gu Yuan, "Long Yuan, I order you to capture him. As long as you can capture him alive, I'll restore your status as the crown prince..."
Gu Yuan's eyes were sharp. When he looked at the Heavenly Emperor, the intimidating power was so strong that even the high - and - mighty Heavenly Emperor had a hard time dealing with it.
He scoffed at the Heavenly Emperor's words and then turned his eyes to Ying Gou again.
Gu Yuan had never cared about the position of the crown prince from the beginning. How could he care about it now?
He raised his palm, and the Moon Gold Wheel quickly returned. His eyes emitted a cold light, showing the air of a king.
"Come on. If you have the guts, kill me. Anyway, this physical body doesn't just carry my soul. If you can't kill me, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Ying Gou's voice was full of mockery. Because everyone in the world knew that he was the ancestor of zombies. Although only his soul remained, it was an immortal soul that could only be suppressed but not eliminated.
Before Gu Yuan could attack, Ying Gou launched another attack. This time, it was not just a sand - dust tornado but also the waters of the Nether Sea that were swept along.
This time, the Heavenly Emperor couldn't sit still either. He ordered all the surviving high - ranking immortals to set up a barrier in front of the main hall of the Purple Star Palace and resist with all their might.
"You can only stop me if I'm dead." Ying Gou's voice was deep and resounded through the sky.
Gu Yuan turned around and saw that the approaching flood was mixed with red - chained snakes, which were like raindrops and penetrated everywhere. Without any effort, they broke through the defenses of the high - ranking immortals with weak magical powers.
A barrier was like a dam on the verge of collapse. As long as there was a single breach, the flood like a wild beast would pour in from this small gap, giving you no time to repair it.
Seeing the flood pouring into the Purple Star Palace, Gu Yuan held the Moon Gold Wheel in his hand. His eyes were extremely cold, and he didn't seem to want to help at all.
If this continued and the flood hit the mortal world, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The demonic blood in my body was surging, but somehow Gu Yuan's blood had invaded my heart.
The two forces were in conflict, and the feeling of swelling came again. The Nuwa Stone on my chest seemed to sense the fluctuations in my heart and suddenly emitted a strong light.
Ying Gou's soul seemed to be suppressed by my power, and my soul took control of Chi Yu's body.
I looked at the menacing flood. I wanted to stop it, but I didn't know how to control my power.
"You can only stop me if I'm dead." Ying Gou's words suddenly flashed through my mind.
It was all because of me, so I should end it.
I don't know where I got the courage. I pulled out the wooden phoenix feather on my head and stabbed it into Chi Yu's chest without hesitation.
As soon as the wooden phoenix feather touched the blood, a white light radiated from my chest. I actually saw a silver - colored phoenix fly out of my back.
A phoenix cry resounded through the sky, and a gorgeous firework exploded in the sky.
"Don't..." Gu Yuan, whose face had been as cold as ice before, looked panicked at this moment.
He quickly retrieved the Moon Gold Wheel in his hand and reached out his hand to rush towards me.
My body suddenly became very heavy. I couldn't stand steadily on my heels and fell backward.
Great. I'm finally free.
The Nuwa Stone in my hand slipped through my fingers and fell into the surging waters of the Nether Sea.
A water vortex formed at the place where the Nuwa Stone fell. In a short moment, the flood and the red - chained snakes disappeared into the vortex together.
Just as my body was about to hit the ground, Gu Yuan had already put his arm around my shoulder, picked me up horizontally, and landed gracefully on the stone steps.
"Why? Why?" Gu Yuan's body trembled as he held me in his arms. Tears welled up in his eyes.
I looked at his face, feeling mixed emotions. Didn't he drink the Mengpo Soup? Why was he holding me and looking so sad?
"Do you remember me?" I asked weakly.
Gu Yuan nodded slightly and replied with a trembling voice, "You're Chi Yu. You're Chi Yu."
Suddenly, my eyes welled up with tears. I felt a little disappointed in my heart. I forced a smile and said to him, "Yes... I'm Chi Yu. I didn't expect you to still remember me."
Gu Yuan hugged me tightly and said in a low voice, "Chi Yu, how can I save you? I promised my wife that I would save Chi Yu."
"Your wife?"
"Have you... have you gotten married?"
"Yes, I'm married. On our wedding day, my wife gave me a bowl of Mengpo Soup and then left. She's such a fool. She thought I didn't know..."
"So... so you didn't drink it?" I wanted to reach out and hold Gu Yuan's face to tell him that I was his wife.
"I knew it, but I once promised her that no matter what she fed me, I would eat it willingly... But that bowl of Mengpo Soup was so bitter. I don't know how many tears of hers it contained. These unforgettable memories just made me remember her even more clearly. How could I forget?"
Listening to Gu Yuan's words, my chin trembled violently. I felt so stuffy in my heart. He actually didn't forget. Was the Mengpo Soup I gave him fake?
"Your wife will be very happy to hear these words. Thank you for telling me this."
"So... how can I save Chi Yu? She told me to save Chi Yu, but why didn't she tell me how?"
"Forget it, forget it. There's no need to save me. This is a relief for me."
"What about me? What will I do after you leave? How can I be relieved?"
"You... be relieved?"
