Chapter 151: Riding the Sword to Chase the Clouds, the Chaos Immortal Realm of Western Kunlun
“Huh… Relatives are really different. Are you two having a great time? It’s been so long since we last met. Look at July’s carelessness—she didn’t even tell me her uncle was coming. I didn’t prepare much either; I just exchanged a few loads of firewood for some beef and old wine as a welcome gift for her uncle.” Liu Yi, who had gone out, just returned and saw the Wolf King and July chatting happily.
July wasn’t sure whether she was happy or not, but she knew that after today, she would embark on the journey to the “Chaos Immortal Realm” with Liu Yi. Perhaps Leng Jian could pierce through the twilight skies, but Liu Yi might not be able to. At this point, he had nothing left. In July’s heart, it seemed destined that he would leave this world and go to another.
But with him by her side, she no longer felt any attachment. She was willing to do anything for him, even go to that mysterious “Chaos Immortal Realm.”
July said with a smile, “You’re back.”
Liu Yi nodded and placed the food and wine on the table…
Wolf Wang looked at Liu Yi and said, “Demon… oh, dear nephew. I discussed it with July earlier, and we plan to let her take you back to her hometown tomorrow.”
Liu Yi politely poured wine for the Wolf King while saying, “Great, I’d like to see July’s hometown too.”
July smiled, but there was much helplessness in that smile. That hometown might be her last paradise—or hell.
That night, the three of them chatted and laughed. Fortunately, the room was spacious enough so that the Wolf King wouldn’t have to sleep on the ground…
Each of them had their own thoughts. July thought of herself and Liu Yi, the Wolf King thought of the Eternal City in the future, while Liu Yi thought of July’s hometown. And so, the three fell asleep with different thoughts in mind…
Time wouldn’t allow them to stay long. Dawn came, and July was the first to wake up. She had already put on those black tight-fitting clothes. That stunningly beautiful woman reappeared in the thatched cottage. There’s truth to the saying that clothes make the man.
Gently touching “Dance Moon,” the two red gems emitted a pink glow, reminding July of Liu Yi in the secret chamber of the underground island—the scholar who drew out “Dance Moon” and gave it to her. As she thought about it, July couldn’t help but laugh, “Silly scholar…”
At that moment, Liu Yi also came out of the room. Seeing July’s outfit, he was initially surprised, then said, “You look so beautiful. Why are you wearing this today?”
July smiled and said, “I put on your clothes and took your sword. We’re going on a long journey. Besides… my hometown is also terrifying. You need to draw your sword to protect me at any time.”
Liu Yi smiled and said, “Oh, so it’s to your hometown. Great, then I’ll play the role of a guardian. Whoever dares to bully my July will face my sword.”
July said, “Alright, go ahead. I’ll pack my clothes and some food and supplies. We might have to stay there for a long time.”
Liu Yi smiled, took off his black leather jacket—light, soft, yet sturdy—and returned to the house. He quickly put on the jacket and took down “Sorrowful Dream” to pin it back to his waist. The black gloves seemed a bit troublesome to him, but after some thought, he still put them on…
Qiyue came out of the inner room, already packed. Looking up at Liu Yi’s outfit, she seemed to remember something and said with a smile, “Scholar, you said you would protect me. Remember that.”
Liu Yi patted his chest and said, “Of course. Oh, by the way, your uncle still isn’t awake. Do you want to let him know?”
Qiyue shook her head. “He left early. He has things to do. Since we weren’t awake, he didn’t say goodbye. Let’s leave first.”
Liu Yi nodded. “Alright, let’s go.”
Qiyue smiled faintly. She could feel that as long as she was by his side, even just hearing him speak made her happy…
Watching the two disappear, the Wolf King came out of the inner room, shook his head gently, and said, “Demon Lord, if you truly can split heaven and earth, return to the Three Realms. If you can’t recover, then spend your ordinary life with Qiyue in the ‘Chaos Immortal Realm’… Sigh.”
A sigh carried so many emotions, so much sorrow…
Mountains upon mountains, waters upon waters, yet deep affection had taken root…
Driven by his powerful vital energy, Qiyue took Liu Yi on a sword flight, enjoying the comfort of white clouds and sunlight, as well as the emotional connection between them.
Although Liu Yi was initially unaccustomed to flying at such heights, three days of non-stop travel had made him enjoy the thrill of flying. He even felt reluctant to leave.
Using a sketch given by the Wolf King, Qiyue easily found their location. They crossed the Kunlun Mountains and continued toward the deserts of Western Kunlun. With the breeze carrying white clouds and sunlight shining on the land, a sword left a beautiful pink glow as it carried the lovers toward the “Chaos Immortal Realm.” After another three days of travel, following the Wolf King’s sketch, they had now reached above the entrance to the realm. Looking down carefully, they saw they had left the desert behind; beneath their feet was now a lush green area.
They landed gently. Qiyue sheathed her sword “Dancing Moon” and took Liu Yi’s hand, saying, “Be careful. There are many monsters here. The place we’re going to is right in the middle of this forest.”
Liu Yi nodded and said with a wry smile, “I thought I was protecting you. You’re much stronger than me—you can even fly…”
Qiyue walked forward while smiling. “I want your protection. I’m not afraid of monsters, but I’m afraid of you. I’m not as strong as you.”
Liu Yi asked in surprise, “Afraid of me? Afraid of what?”
Qiyue explored the dense forest while saying, “Afraid of you… Ah, never mind. There are too many things to fear. Let’s go.”
Just as the two of them stepped forward, a tiger roar came from behind. They immediately turned around and saw a tiger—no, it wasn’t a tiger at all; it was a monster, at least twice the size of an ordinary tiger. Its entire body was covered in black fur. What was most terrifying was that the black tiger had three heads, with a horn growing on each of the heads on the left and right… With its gloomy green eyes and dense teeth, the three-headed black tiger lunged at them the moment they turned around, targeting Liu Yi, who was already frozen in fear. At that moment, July crossed her arms and stood in front of Liu Yi, saying, “Back up…” She quickly channeled her true energy and drew out the ‘Dancing Moon’ sword. A pink glow instantly shot out from her waist and headed straight for the black tiger…
