Chapter 765: Chapter 763 Heavenly Dao Restoration
“Sacrificing Dongfang Yi will reset the Heavenly Dao? What if we don’t?” Sally asked.
“Sacrificing him will undoubtedly reset it, but if we don’t, who knows? It’s not my debt to pay.”
“The ruins of the Immortal Realm and Divine Realm are like weeds—inescapable and persistent. To stabilize all realms, indeed, helping him return would be better.”
“Have you made up your mind?” Jian Xiao looked at her.
“…What do you mean?” Sally frowned.
“He owes you a life since he killed you with a punch, so you should be the one to slice!”
“Uh!” Sally was stunned.
Little Dot squinted his eyes at his dad’s cunning look and said to Sally, “Mom, don’t believe what my dad says; he’s lying to you.”
“What?” Sally looked between Little Dot and Jian, unsure who to believe for a moment.
Little Qianzhi spoke softly and sweetly, “Mom, don’t worry. Just follow your heart and don’t force yourself.”
Sally glanced at her little daughter and suddenly smiled, “To think not even a child can see through it clearly. Little Qianzhi is right; don’t drag me into your grievances with the Heavenly Dao.”
Then, she picked up a well-layered piece of braised pork and placed it on Little Qianzhi’s plate, “Sweetheart, eat up.”
“But he does owe you.” Jian added a large chicken leg to Sally’s plate, “You eat too.”
“He owes, he owes, just don’t think of using me as a pawn.” Sally gave him a resentful glance and handed the chicken leg to Little Qianzhi.
Little Qianzhi silently endured her slightly overbearing love…
…
Dongfang Yi was not in the General Residence of Chang’an.
He had retired and returned to his home.
Back to the village where he and Wu Xiuer first met.
The place had changed now, from thatched cottages to a grand five-section mansion, with a signboard of Dongfang Residence hanging at the entrance.
It was Emperor Chu who had ordered it built.
When the thatched cottage was demolished, Dongfang Yi stormed into the Imperial Palace and had a fierce brawl with Emperor Chu!
Everyone thought Emperor Chu would punish Dongfang Yi severely, but not only did he not punish him, he built this grand mansion for him.
Sally teleported into Dongfang Residence.
Not a servant in sight, the whole house was as quiet as if uninhabited, yet the corners of the garden walls were clean, with just a thin layer of moss and not a single weed.
She stood under a locust tree, looking towards the archway dripping with flowers.
An old man, with pale hair and a face full of wrinkles, hobbled towards her, leaning on a dark vine cane.
With each step closer to her, the man’s appearance changed slightly; white hair turned to black, and the wrinkles carved by the years began to fade, transforming him into a young man with broad shoulders and a robust stature.
Sally watched him intently, unstartled.
An amulet disintegrated into bits from his fingers, fluttering to the ground.
“You’ve used an ‘old age rejuvenation’ amulet,” Sally observed.
Dongfang Yi’s gaze tightly locked onto the woman before him. “Who are you?”
“Who do you think I am?” Sally countered but quickly sighed, “Why bother?”
Dongfang Yi smiled, a seemingly bitter smile—yet with a hidden joy.
“You are her, right? Wu Xiuer was inherently foolish and couldn’t even cook or make a fire, yet you can make delicious pork offal dishes and even taught Duanmu Yunhua the Immortal Techniques.”
“Now you know, so you should understand why I came looking for you,” Sally approached him.
Dongfang Yi nodded, “I’ve been waiting for you.”
Sally raised her delicate hand to Dongfang Yi’s chest, slowly sinking it in…
He didn’t retreat or avoid her gaze; his eyes, dark as ink pools, seemed to engrave her image deeply into his memory.
Sally’s hand buried completely into his chest, not a single drop of blood flowed out.
Dongfang Yi’s vision began to blur, as if he could fall into darkness at any moment.
“Though we have been together for only four months, I like you.”
With her free hand, Sally embraced Dongfang Yi and whispered close to his ear, “Just like?”
Dongfang Yi’s eyelids slowly drooped, his pale lips trembling slightly as he struggled to utter, “More than like… I love you!”
Dongfang Yi’s flesh rapidly aged.
Sally’s hand withdrew from his chest, revealing a bright red heart in her palm!
She began to mutter, spells falling upon the bright red heart until she finally clenched it tightly!
With a ‘bang,’ the heart turned into a blaze of golden light and soared into the sky.
Sally gazed at the sky, and after a while, her body blurred and transformed into Jian!
“Although the karmic debt is repaid, another emotional calamity is added. I cannot pass it, and I wonder how you will transcend it yourself?”
A light smile appeared on Jian’s lips as his figure gradually vanished.
On the streets of Chang’an—
Sally was buying toys with Little Dot and Little Qianzhi when she suddenly felt something. She looked up to see a flash of golden light, but it vanished in an instant.
At the same time, from the direction of the Imperial Palace, the sound of a funeral bell rang—Emperor Chu had died!
…
In the Divine Realm.
Qing Linghuan reverted to his original form, carrying Little Shisi, Little Shiwu, Xiao Tiantian, as well as Little Shiqi and Little Beibei, flying through the sky.
Suddenly, he stopped.
A blaze of golden light ascended from the Lower Realm, seemingly recognizing them as it circled around them before continuing towards the endless heavens.
Qing Linghuan’s voice was deep and sonorous, “Heavenly Dao has returned.” 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Xiao Tiantian, bouncing on his back, asked excitedly, “Was that aura just now Heavenly Dao?”
“Um,” Qing Linghuan continued flying forward with them on his back, “It’s good that Heavenly Dao has returned, the myriad paths will stabilize and those broken Rules need to be addressed.”
Little Beibei ran to Qing Linghuan’s head, uninterested in Heavenly Dao, she simply said, “Uncle Qing, I miss my brothers and sisters. Can we go to Divine Beast University?”
“Of course we can, let’s head there now,” Qing Linghuan replied.
“Er—” Little Shiqi lay down, “I don’t like school.”
Xiao Tiantian added, “Me neither, I want to find Mother.”
Qing Linghuan’s golden eyes flickered… his little son truly was his spitting image; he, too, was thinking about Sally.
You Hao teleported over and said to Qing Linghuan, “Heavenly Dao has been restored!”
Qing Linghuan snorted, uninterested in engaging.
Little Beibei continued, “Dad, we just saw Heavenly Dao, and it even circled around us.”
“That’s right, and it didn’t even send us a gift or anything,” Xiao Tiantian complained.
Little Shiwu raised a paw and patted this greedy little brother on the head, “Who do you think you are to receive gifts? Silly brother!”
“Alright,” Xiao Tiantian obediently lay down.
You Hao extended his hand to Little Beibei, “Daughter, come here.”
Little Beibei teleported over, “What’s up, Dad?”
You Hao gently flicked her little ear, “Still remember who your father is? Always hanging out with that Dead Fox, people might think he’s your father.”
Clutching her ear, Little Beibei huffily said, “I like Uncle Qing, and I want to marry him when I grow up!”
“Nonsense!” You Hao tapped her forehead again.
Qing Linghuan chuckled, “Out of the mouths of babes are truths untethered, but it also proves that in the children’s hearts, I am better than you!”
Unable to hold back any longer, You Hao clenched a fist and swung at Qing Linghuan’s fluffy large face…
