Chapter 4205 Staying Overnight
"You're awake." Li Hanxue said.
Zhou Yuchen looked at Li Hanxue with a dazed look, then looked around and said, "You... when did you come back?"
"Just came back."
Zhou Yuchen stood up and looked at Li Hanxue with a surprised look, as if he saw him for the first time, with a little fear in his eyes.
Li Hanxue said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhou Yuchen said, "You give people a terrible feeling, just like a god. In the past in the Killing Valley, you never made me feel this way."
Li Hanxue said, "Maybe it's because I was still a great emperor at that time, and now I have the cultivation level of an ancient emperor."
"Ancient emperor?" Zhou Yuchen obviously didn't understand what these two words meant.
"Above the great emperor, there are five levels of realm: ancient emperor, heavenly emperor, mysterious emperor, holy emperor and god emperor, and the realm I am in now is the ancient emperor realm, which can control a piece of time and space." Li Hanxue said.
"No wonder, no wonder the feeling you give people has completely changed." Zhou Yuchen murmured.
"Have you been staying in the Killing Valley since I left?" Li Hanxue asked.
Zhou Yuchen was startled, and said with some guilt: "No... I just happened to pass by here a few days ago, so I came in to take a look."
"When I saw you, you had forgotten everything, as if you had completely lost your memory." Li Hanxue said.
Zhou Yuchen sighed: "Maybe it's because you have gone astray in your practice."
"Going astray?" Li Hanxue looked confused, "What kind of skills are you practicing?"
Zhou Yuchen said: "Don't you know it all the time? I practice the Snow Demon Book."
"The Snow Demon Book is at most a supreme level of skills, and you have already become a supreme, and your strength is far superior to that of the original Snow Demon. You should not be able to use his skills." Li Hanxue said, "Zhou Yuchen, what kind of skills are you practicing?"
Zhou Yuchen looked into Li Hanxue's eyes, and his heart was in turmoil again.
"In the past, he always ignored me and turned a blind eye to me. My appearance was like a plague, as if it would ruin his life and all his happiness. But now why does he care about me and show me these unnecessary concerns?" Zhou Yuchen's heart began to be confused.
She told Li Hanxue everything truthfully.
"At the beginning, Liu Yanfei taught me the ruthless way. I practiced for a while, but later found that the ruthless way was not suitable for me, so I gave up practicing. But later I found that once you practice the ruthless way, it is difficult to stop. Originally, after you left, I was able to practice normally, but because of the erosion of the ruthless way, I was unable to suppress the curse and resentment left in my heart by Murong Ling, so..." Zhou Yuchen said bitterly.
"It turns out that the ruthless way is the cause, and the resentment is the result."
Zhou Yuchen hated Li Hanxue because of the love between Li Hanxue and Gu Xiyu, so he vowed to kill Li Hanxue. Influenced by Liu Yanfei, he secretly practiced the ruthless way. But she didn't know that the founder of the ruthless way was Gu Jinchao, Gu Xiyu's biological father. She also didn't know that once you practice the ruthless way, it would be extremely difficult to give it up. Warriors who practiced the ruthless way were like being branded, as if they were injected with the emperor's blood by Gu Jinchao, and it was almost impossible to get rid of it.
If Zhou Yuchen had a harder heart and hated Li Hanxue to the end, this kind of thing would not have happened. But she loved this man deeply in her heart, and no matter how sad and desperate she was, she couldn't give up completely. So later Zhou Yuchen had to give up practicing the ruthless way, and today's result came.
"The ruthless way is Gu Jinchao's Taoist tradition. This person is ruthless and is the first evil person in the world. How could you practice his way?" Li Hanxue said.
"It's because of you..." Zhou Yuchen blurted out his words, half impulsive and half deliberate.
The atmosphere immediately became dead silent. Zhou Yuchen said, "I... I mean it's because you didn't help me after you became a Taoist. You should have helped me get rid of this evil root when we were in the Killing Valley."
Li Hanxue said, "I didn't notice your abnormality at that time, but it's not too late now. I don't know Gu Jinchao's current realm, but the ruthless way you practice is not his true teaching, so it shouldn't be difficult to get rid of the ruthless way in your heart."
After that, Li Hanxue stretched out her right hand and pressed Zhou Yuchen's forehead through the air. A warm current quickly flowed into Zhou Yuchen's body. Zhou Yuchen only felt that this warm current was like a dexterous hand, which drilled into her body and went straight into her heart.
Zhou Yuchen couldn't help but tremble all over. She recalled everything that happened with the red-haired man in Linghan Sect that day. Although Zhou Yuchen knew in her heart that the will of the red-haired man was completely different from Li Hanxue's own will, when she knew that Li Hanxue and the red-haired man had merged into one, coupled with the change in Li Hanxue's attitude towards her, she always thought more.
For a moment, Zhou Yuchen was distracted.
Li Hanxue seemed to sense the change in Zhou Yuchen's inner emotions, and whispered: "Zhou Yuchen, guard your soul, don't mess up your mind."
Zhou Yuchen's mind was shocked, and he quickly regained consciousness.
At this time, the ancient emperor power that surged from Li Hanxue's body had completely merged into Zhou Yuchen's body, and grasped the key thing in the depths of her soul. It was invisible and intangible, but like a maggot on the tarsal bone, it was deeply rooted in the depths of Zhou Yuchen's soul, emitting an extremely cold breath from the inside out.
Li Hanxue had felt this terrible breath on the Great Dao Plain. At that time, Li Hanxue saw it as a plague god and tried to avoid it. But now that Li Hanxue has reached the realm of the Ancient Emperor, he no longer needs to fear the invasion of foreign ways. He has his own way in his heart, a way that is not inferior to anyone, so he is no longer afraid of Gu Jinchao's way.
"Evil ways retreat!"
Li Hanxue shouted, and the power of the Ancient Emperor turned into a golden mark, which directly hit the depths of Zhou Yuchen's soul and combined with the ruthless way.
"Um..."
Zhou Yuchen covered her chest, and the heart-wrenching pain came from the depths of her soul. She felt that her whole body was about to crack.
"Li Hanxue..."
"Don't be afraid, this is normal, just get through it." Li Hanxue comforted.
Zhou Yuchen gritted her teeth, and the intense pain swept over like waves, almost completely drowning her. In a short while, she was sweating profusely.
"Li Hanxue, I feel so uncomfortable..." Zhou Yuchen curled up and rolled on the ground.
Li Hanxue held down Zhou Yuchen's body and integrated her spiritual power into her sea of consciousness, temporarily cutting off the connection between her body and soul and alleviating the pain she was enduring. But even so, the pain of the body could not be felt, but the pain in the depths of the soul was still flooding and raging.
Finally, after half a quarter of an hour, Zhou Yuchen finally stopped groaning in pain. Her face was flushed and sweaty. Although she looked very out of control, she had a different kind of beauty that made people reluctant to look away from her.
"Li Hanxue, wait for me for a moment..."
Zhou Yuchen disappeared in a flash after saying that. After only a few breaths, she changed into a white dress and appeared in front of Li Hanxue neatly.
Li Hanxue said, "You should not be troubled by the ruthless way in the future."
"Thank you." Zhou Yuchen whispered, "This time you come back to the Nebula Continent, will you leave again?"
"Probably not. I have met too many strong people in the future world, and I understand that it does not belong to me after all." Li Hanxue said.
Zhou Yuchen said: "Yes, some places, no matter how good they are, are not as good as the original place. Just like this Killing Valley, if you had not spent some time here, you would never have noticed such an inconspicuous place in your life, right?"
Li Hanxue said: "I came to you to discuss the matter of reviving Ziyuan with you."
Zhou Yuchen was stunned for a moment, with surprise and uneasiness in his eyes.
"Do you already have the power to revive Ziyuan?" Zhou Yuchen said.
"Yes, Ziyuan still has a trace of residual soul in the world, and it is not really dead. Moreover, I have always brought his residual soul with me, nurturing it from time to time, just waiting for the right time, so reviving Ziyuan is much easier than reviving my father and others." Li Hanxue said.
Zhou Yuchen said: "Since you already have the power to revive Ziyuan, just revive him directly, why bother to discuss with me?"
"After all, he is your child, you have the right to know everything about him." Li Hanxue said.
Zhou Yuchen glanced at Li Hanxue and said: "Is this compensation for me?"
Li Hanxue was silent.
"I understand."
"So you want to revive Ziyuan?"
"I am his mother after all." Zhou Yuchen said, "When do you plan to revive him?"
Li Hanxue said, "Not now. In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, we need to do some preparations beforehand."
"Then go and prepare. I will stay in the Killing Valley waiting for you and Ziyuan." Zhou Yuchen said, "I hope you can let Ziyuan be born in this world as a brand new and flawless life. I don't want him to be branded with our grievances and Murong Ling's grievances."
Li Hanxue said, "I understand. I will do my best to let Ziyuan be reborn as clean as a blank sheet of paper. Everything in the past should not belong to him."
"Thank you." Zhou Yuchen said.
"No need." Li Hanxue looked up at the sky and was about to say goodbye.
Seeing that Li Hanxue was about to leave, Zhou Yuchen spoke first, "Li Hanxue, stay in the Killing Valley tonight."
Li Hanxue looked at Zhou Yuchen with surprise.
Zhou Yuchen said, "I want to cook a dish for you to try."
"Let's do it another day."
"Just this once, I will never let you stay overnight again." Zhou Yuchen's attitude suddenly became extremely tough, completely unlike her usual appearance in front of Li Hanxue.
Li Hanxue hesitated for a moment, but finally did not turn around and leave.
The wind and snow were howling, and the snow was flying in the Killing Valley, blurring the sky and the earth. Li Hanxue sat quietly in the house, the warm yellow light shining on his face, he just lowered his head slightly to read. Zhou Yuchen was at the stove next to him, tidying up and fiddling with it slowly.
