Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

Ye Tianling recounted his story, altering some details while revealing certain truths.

Hearing this, even Long Qingzhuo was somewhat dumbfounded. ’It could actually happen like that?’

When Ji Yuechan heard his words and saw the way Ye Tianling seemed lost in his memories, she knew instantly that he was telling the truth!

Her expression instantly became a sight to behold. With a PFFT, she was so enraged that she actually coughed up blood!

’How... how could something like this happen?’

’How could something that was a sure thing have gone so wrong?’

It felt as if a stampede of wild horses was trampling through Ji Yuechan’s heart. The feeling was truly indescribable.

"You left behind killing intent when you departed? You would defy my orders?"

Just as Ji Yuechan’s expression turned utterly grim, Ji Yueqi spoke, her voice cold.

At those words, Ji Yuechan’s heart lurched and sank.

Other offenses were negotiable, but this kind of disobedience was what the Upper Ranks detested most.

Especially in a place like the Divine Hall of Life, where commands are of the utmost importance, feigning compliance with an order from one of the Upper Ranks was an extremely serious offense.

"Goddess, I... I was only..."

Ji Yuechan’s face was deathly pale.

"You are indeed diligent in your duties, but as I’ve told you, you are too narrow-minded. Your vision is too limited. Have I not made myself clear? He is a mere ant; it is best to let him live or die on his own. Have I not been thorough enough? It seems that after so many years as a Law Patrol Guard, and so long without serving me, you have forgotten my rules. You must understand that before me, you are only a Maid, not a high and mighty Law Patrol Guard."

Ji Yueqi’s voice was soft, but its coldness, that attitude of utter indifference to all life, sent a chill through everyone’s hearts.

THUD.

Ji Yuechan fell to her knees, kowtowing and admitting her fault.

"After you return to the Divine Hall of Life, go to the Purgatory Sea of Suffering and reflect. Think about where you went wrong. Once you understand completely, you may come out and serve me again. Remember, there will not be a next time."

Ji Yueqi issued her command.

Ji Yuechan’s body trembled, and fear filled her eyes. Yet at the same time, she felt inexplicably moved.

"I shall obey."

Ji Yuechan stood up.

This time, she didn’t even spare Ye Tianling a single glance.

It seemed that misfortune followed whenever she had anything to do with Ye Tianling.

"Hey, bitch, next time I face a Tribulation, how about you plant another one of your killing strikes on me? I don’t think I can get through this Hell Celestial Tribulation without it. It’s a world-ending storm, you know!"

Ye Tianling taunted her with a wicked grin.

PFFT—

Ji Yuechan’s body shuddered, and she sprayed another mouthful of blood.

She was seething with rage, but she couldn’t afford to get dragged into any more trouble.

’I’m out of chances. If Ye Tianling pulls another one of his tricks or frames me for something, I’ll be in over my head.’

’Whether the Life Goddess believes him or not is another matter. Her impression of me is already bad enough. If this goes on, what chance will I have left?’

’Once I lose my qualification as the Life Goddess’s Maid, my position as a Law Patrol Guard will be completely over.’

’And plant another killing strike for you?’

’Like hell I will!’

’Do you have any fucking shame? Can I even plant that kind of Slaughter Soul Seal anymore? You want to borrow my Power of Slaughter to get through your Tribulation?’

Ji Yuechan truly wished she could kill Ye Tianling with a single palm strike. The worst part was that with him calling her ’bitch’ over and over, she was actually starting to get used to it!

’What a terrifying habit!’

’You little bastard, just wait until I’m back in the Divine Hall of Life. You’ll get what’s coming to you then!’

Ji Yuechan seethed, but she knew that attacking him now was unrealistic.

And it was impossible for her to project her Descent across a vast expanse of Space just to slaughter an ’ant’ in the Life Goddess’s eyes.

Not only would it delay the Life Goddess’s travels and waste her time, but Ji Yuechan would also have no way to justify her actions.

"Are you planning on sending some of your lackeys to assassinate me after you get back to the Divine Hall of Life? You’d better remember, you only get one more chance—oh, wait, you don’t have any chances left! So treasure what you have, and don’t go courting death! HAHAHA!"

Ye Tianling roared with laughter, continuing his mockery.

’Little Dragon Girl’s act is just too cold and cruel.’

Ye Tianling even found himself thinking about when he could pin this cold Life Goddess down again. A passionate encounter would surely be incredibly satisfying.

Hearing this, Ji Yuechan nearly stumbled.

That was, in fact, exactly what she had been thinking. The Life Goddess had said it twice: he was a mere ant, to be left to live or die on his own. If she had acted in secret, it might have been fine, but with Ye Tianling calling her out on it so publicly, she obviously couldn’t entertain the thought any longer.

Because if Ye Tianling were actually assassinated, the Life Goddess would certainly find out.

Then, with her reputation further damaged, her future would be ruined.

’It really wasn’t worth it over a mere ant!’

Besides, at this point, even if she refused to admit it, Ji Yuechan was beginning to understand something.

Ji Yueqi didn’t want to kill Ye Tianling because of the causal link between them. She had received a favor from him, and killing him would leave a knot in her heart that could hinder her cultivation. Letting him fend for himself was indeed the best approach.

On the other hand, neither the Ancestral Dao Killing Intent in the Thousand Shadows Pool nor the fatal strike she had left behind had managed to kill Ye Tianling when he was on the brink of death. It was clear this man’s Qi Fortune was simply heaven-defying!

People with such heaven-defying Qi Fortune were very similar to some Divine Children, or even an Emperor’s Son. They all shared one infuriating trait: you just couldn’t kill them!

Often, the closer such people were to death, the more heaven-defying their opportunities and encounters became, eventually allowing them to stage a massive comeback.

If she tried to kill him again, Ji Yuechan mused, she might just end up stimulating his growth even further. That would be even more infuriating.

If she hadn’t unleashed that powerful killing strike before, Ye Tianling might have already been dead and gone!

Ji Yuechan’s heart was a whirlwind of mixed feelings. She was only now realizing how truly foolish she had been.

The Life Goddess, however, had clear judgment and true foresight, always seeing the bigger picture.

As she was thinking this, Ji Yueqi’s voice softly entered her mind via transmission. "This man was on the Sword Ancestor Star within the Buried Soul Star Domain. He survived a Celestial Dao Erasure and even evaded the rules of the Forgotten Dust World. His Qi Fortune is immense."

Hearing this, Ji Yuechan’s heart trembled. She immediately understood that what she had just figured out was something the Life Goddess had seen through long ago.

A complex, unpleasant feeling washed over Ji Yuechan. Still, she bowed respectfully to Ji Yueqi and said, "I understand. I will not be so foolish again, nor will I cause you, Goddess, to develop a knot in your heart."

Ji Yueqi nodded. "Let us go. The Purgatory Sea of Suffering is a bitter trial, but it is a path to the Other Shore. You are strong, but you did not achieve your breakthrough from the Great Perfection realm, so your power is far from sufficient. Only by achieving Transcendence over the Sea of Suffering and stepping onto the Other Shore will you be qualified to truly contend with a Venerable. Furthermore, although I have awoken, the Divine Hall of Life is still in decline. And the four great Ancestral Dragon Kings of the Dragon Race are indeed about to emerge."

"The other three kings already possess heaven-defying power. And as for the Emperor’s Path Thunder Inference King... it would be one thing if he never emerged, but should he appear, it will spell a great catastrophe for the world."
