Chapter 5671: Young Noble,Go
Villagers greeted Li Qiye during his stroll. Everyone gave the feeling of returning to simplicity.
Eventually, he made it to the back where a woman waited. Although she hid her aura, people couldnât help but shudder.
Staring at her gave the impression of seeing a bloody spear capable of slaying emperors. One wouldnât have the chance to talk before having their throat pierced if she desired so.
She had something different than murderous intent. The latter stemmed from inner murderous thoughts but the one from her was a piercing will to slay immortals.
She was gorgeous like a water fairy. Her smile could captivate a kingdom. Unfortunately, her piercing presence always stole everyoneâs attention. They had no time to appreciate her beauty.
Her eyes lit up the moment she saw Li Qiye. Her aura softened immediately and her beauty took the front stage, turning her into a goddess of the sea.
âYoung Noble.â She sighed, having waited countless years for this moment.
He gazed deep into her eyes and saw their lethality, causing him to become sentimental. He spread his arms wide and she threw herself into his embrace like a swallow returning to its nest.
He hugged her tightly, instilling an affectionate warmth and telling her that time was still flowing. She breathed in his scent and savored the moment.
âYoung Noble.â She said softly.
âI shouldnât have.â He said.
âI did it, I havenât forgotten you, Young Noble.â Zi Cuining remarked.
âYes, you did, but perhaps I have wronged you by turning you into a spear meant for killing.â He sighed.
âI was willing and this was the path I must take to give my dao value.â She shook her head.
âBeing a weapon, how lonely and torturous.â He said softly.
âMy heart is determined for this goal.â She locked eyes with him.
âWe leave it to you then.â She said softly.
âYouâve endured a lot so now that Iâm here, itâs time for you to take the next step.â He nodded.
âI shall follow your advice, Young Noble.â She spoke with a firm gaze.
âThis will help you break through again. Now, you will return to being yourself, no longer just a weapon.â He said.
âI understand, I will refine this dao again.â She said.
âThis process will be agonizing.â He said earnestly.
âI am ready just like before when you said I could slay immortals. I did it back then, I can do it again.â She said.
âVery well.â Primordial light flickered around his finger as he said: âThis will hurt.â
âPlease start, Young Noble.â She took a deep breath and stared straight at him.
His finger eventually touched the spot between her eyebrows. It penetrated her flesh and left behind an indelible law.
The engraving process left her shaking in agony - a pain worse than having oneâs skin flayed and bones removed. It went beyond the realm of physical torture and affected the soul itself.
âAh...â She became drenched in sweat while trembling.
He hugged her but didnât stop the process - still forcefully embedding primordial light into her mind.
The pain alone could cripple and torment someone, making living a fate worse than death. However, she endured with the help of his grand dao.
âBuzz.â As the process inched towards completion, a dao pierced through her true fate and brought her to the brink of death.
âAh!â She finally lost consciousness.
After a long while, she woke up and saw Li Qiye still there, embracing her.
âYou made it.â He greeted her with a smile.
She looked within and saw a dao spear looming inside her mind, looking eternal.
