Chapter 955: 420
Yet it showed no color pollution.
"There must be a problem, sneaking around, moving with peculiar secrecy!" Yuexuang followed at a distance with excitement in her eyes.
Unearthing such a traitor, one of mythical level no less, this was definitely a big fish.
Moon Maiden Jinli stood shoulder to shoulder with Yuexuang, both blending into the dust, trailing behind Zhegui.
"To betray as a mythical being, alas." Yuexuang lamented, "I wonder who is meeting with her; could it be a Venerable or another mythical being?"
The moonlight was patchy, and the two Moon Maidens followed closely behind Zhegui with Yuexuang wearing a placid expression.
"Hopefully, they’re strong." Jinli spoke.
The stronger they were, the more impressive the combat achievements.
"Great minds think alike." Yuexuang smiled.
This was the territory of the Moon God Palace. Even if they encountered an unbeatable enemy, escaping would pose no issue.
The duo followed closely and after a while, they had covered a distance of ten thousand li.
The usual bustle of the Moon God Palace had vanished, leaving silence all around, with all colors gone except for the cold moonlight.
Zhegui stopped by a lake.
Suddenly, Yuexuang looked surprised: "Eh, there’s more than just her?"
In the distance, a figure shrouded in a black robe appeared, presumably a woman by her figure.
Dread appeared in Yuexuang’s eyes.
"A mythical being." Jinli stated, her brows knit slightly.
"Who is she? A mythical being from the Jueyue Abyss?" Yuexuang frowned, pondering the stranger’s identity.
The black-robed woman met with Zhegui by the lakeside, seemingly exchanging words.
At that moment, Yuexuang looked stunned: "Eh, it seems besides me, someone else remembers your birthday; you have a letter that’s arrived for you."
Yuexuang was in charge of the intelligence department for the Demon Abyss.
Letters from the outside world would enter her main Jade Slip via special channels.
Just now, she had received several letters.
Among them, the sender of one was Jinli.
"Oh." Jinli watched the black-robed woman, frowning in thought.
After all, there were only so many mythical beings in the Jueyue Abyss, and any defector was a matter of displeasure to her.
As for the letter... she paid it no heed.
As Yuexuang had said, she was a Moon Maiden, and on her birthday, there would always be some who sought to ingratiate themselves with her.
"Shall we open the letter?" Yuexuang asked.
For cultivators of their realm, multitasking was a trivial matter.
With an undisturbed look, Jinli remained silent.
"Eh, you actually know someone from the Sixfold Heavens. This letter, it seems to have been sent from the Sixfold Heavens a long time ago, taking three years to arrive?" Yuexuang was somewhat surprised.
This letter should have stopped at the last station half a month ago, set to be delivered to Moon Maiden Jinli on the seventeenth of Qiyue.
Under the moonlight, the woman clad in a long apricot dress felt her heart skip a beat.
Yuexuang extracted the information and placed it into a Jade Slip, handing it to Jinli.
"Take a look, it seems to be a cultivation technique."
"From the Sixfold Heavens to the Sixfold Heavens, sending a cultivation technique, how interesting."
Ripples seemed to emanate from Jinli’s eyes, which were filled with anticipation yet also apprehension.
Her delicate hand touched the Jade Slip.
The second sentence brought by the Wedding Dress Knightess in the past echoed in her ears now.
"Not seeing you in the past, my sorrows piled up like snow, thoughts deep in both ancient and modern times.
Not seeing you now, my longing eyes like dew of jade, drunk in both ancient and modern times.
But when I see you, I’ll not resent meeting late, nor wish the moments of light and shadow to be brief."
"Seeing you..."
The name of this cultivation technique was indeed "Seeing You."
In that moment, Jinli’s eyes grew misty.
At Qiyue Lake, the image of the Faceless Sword Deity fishing alone in the winter appeared in her mind.
He had been waiting for her all along.
Back then, she hadn’t known him.
And he had not recognized that the little Moon Maiden he was waiting for was her.
Moon Maiden Jinli clutched the Jade Slip tightly.
Just from the name of the technique, she was sure, absolutely certain, it was from him.
He was still alive!
He had come to see her!
He was in the Sixfold Heavens!
Overwhelmed with joy, she turned to the person beside her and pleaded urgently, "Yuexuang, I must go to the Sixfold Heavens!"
She did not want to stay in the Sixfold Heavens for another moment.
Yuexuang’s smile froze as she seemed to realize something: "Is it his letter?"
She did not wish for her friend to leave the Moon God Palace.
"Wait, something’s not right here..."
Suddenly, Yuexuang’s expression drastically changed.
Because the Black Robe Mythical figure lifted the mask from their head, revealing an all too familiar face.
"Deputy Defensive Commander Envoy!"
That woman, astonishingly, was the Deputy Defensive Commander Envoy of Jueyue Abyss, a Mythical being with partial authority over Bamboo Grove under the Waning Moon.
A betrayal by the Deputy Defensive Commander Envoy was fundamentally different from a betrayal by an average Mythical being.
Her heart sank to the bottom of the sea, her complexion turning pale in an instant, "The... Bamboo Grove under the Waning Moon... here has lost its effectiveness!"
What this implied, she knew all too well.
This meant that if a Mythical being from the Mo Luo Clan were to come here, the Sun God of Jueyue Abyss wouldn’t be able to react in time.
How could the Mo Luo Clan miss such an opportunity?
She smelled the thick scent of a conspiracy, along with endless regret.
She shouldn’t have followed them here!
The Sun God Heavenly Venerable of Jueyue Abyss must have already arrived.
Moon Maiden Jinli furrowed her brows, yet her hands were unconsciously clutching the corners of her clothes, betraying her unease.
"What do we do?" Yuexuang asked, her mind in chaos.
Sending a message now, even if it got out, it would be too late.
Just then, a cold breeze suddenly blew in, and Yuexuang felt its chilling intention.
As if with this gust of wind, it seemed as though pear blossoms had burst into bloom between heaven and earth.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, and looking up, the snowflakes under the moonlight were crystal clear, like classical beauties dancing gracefully.
Yuexuang was surprised, her spirit suddenly tense.
Looking across the expanse, she saw that where the snowfall was even heavier, a figure in blood-red appeared.
In his arms, he held a sword, and on his face was a mask without any features. Snowflakes settled on his shoulders, hidden within his black hair.
The two Mythical beings by the lakeside immediately bowed in respect, not daring to look directly at him.
Yuexuang bit her gums tightly, feeling a profound threat.
Sun God!
This was definitely the Sun God!
Done for...
But before she could give it more thought, she saw a flash of orange, dancing among the falling snow, dashing towards the Faceless figure.
Pushing forward relentlessly, surmounting all else.
Yuexuang’s expression briefly froze.
But under the falling snow, the man in the blood-red robe halted his steps.
"I emerge from heaven’s edge, having waited for you for a long time."
His voice was complex, profound, and resonated longingly.
Yuexuang seemed to see, beneath the lakeside, a Faceless person holding a sword, sitting atop a blue stone, as if waiting for someone.
The years had turned; the ancient Qichun Wood had added a few more rings.
The man in the blood-red robe looked tender, watching the moonlit dancers below, fluttering like butterflies.
He knew this was his Moon Maiden Jinli whom he had been waiting for by Qiyue Lake.
An agreement from the past, transcending time and space, was within reach, yet as elusive as a dream.
"Qi Yuan!!!"
Moon Maiden Jinli stopped in her tracks, her eyes shimmering; she halted three steps away.
She was nervous, afraid, yet as if in a dream.
But then, the man in the blood-red robe lifted the mask from his face, revealing a handsome yet somewhat unfamiliar, familiar face.
His presence was like jade, his charm unequaled.
He held his sword, honoring the pact and approached Moon Maiden Jinli.
"Seeing your graceful dance is like savoring fine wine."
This phrase seemed to be in response to the second sentence he had said to Jin Li in the past.
Without seeing you, my longing eyes are dewy with tears, and everyone from the past to the present is drunk.
Seeing your shadow now is like drinking fine wine.
Moon Maiden Jinli gazed at the man before her, and in her vision, there was only him in all the world.
Her body trembled, her shoulders shaking, as an endless torrent of longing gushed forth like mountains and seas.
"Jin Li, I’ve seen you," Qi Yuan told the woman in front of him; he rolled up his wide sleeves, exposing his fair arm.
There upon the originally smooth arm, a faint crescent moon mark was slowly taking form.
This mark, left by the Moon Maiden.
After slaying the outer realm demons, Qi Yuan awoke to find the mark had vanished.
Now, the mark reappeared once again.
Jinli stood quietly, staring at that face.
Even though she was wearing an orange gown that accentuated her ethereal qualities, she appeared particularly icy at the moment.
"Qi Yuan, I too have waited for you!"
She extended her hand, cradling Qi Yuan’s face as if, in a ruined temple, she’s holding the face of a faceless deity.
Time and space converged at that moment; their figures overlapped across the years.
Life without seeing each other is as fickle as the marketplaces.
Finally, I see you.
