The shock was palpable as the Reincarnation Stone trembled and exclaimed, "You are so malicious!"
Yun Zhi Yue smiled charmingly, "Malicious? Not at all. People must think of themselves; otherwise, they will perish. I have already attained the strength of the Imperial Realm. Why should I continue to support that scoundrel who takes advantage of me? If you don’t agree to my terms, I won’t return. The Heavenly Realm is vast; I can enjoy my freedom here."
Seeing her sister's thoughts, Yun Shijiu concealed her excitement beneath a calm facade. She immediately chimed in with mockery, "Exactly! My sister has it so good in the Heavenly Realm. With a master who can fight and a brother like me, why would she want to go back to the Underworld for endless fighting and killing?"
The Reincarnation Stone gritted its teeth in frustration. "You two are simply too much!"
"Oh? Am I really too much?" Yun Zhi Yue replied, her tone teasing. "You must consider this, little stone. I am now in the Imperial Realm and have inherited the Time Path from Sister San Sheng. Ksitigarbha has always treated me well. If anything happens to me, Li Shang Shizun will not abandon me, and Suye Emperor cares for me greatly. Do you know how many Emperors stand behind me? Why should I settle for being a Ming Hou when I can be the King of the Underworld?"
"Don't worry," she continued confidently. "Even if you don’t return, when you do, I won’t kill you. Let him become one of the Ten Yama Kings; there are vacant positions anyway. Throughout history, the strong have always held power; if I am strong, I deserve to rise."
Yun Shijiu quickly echoed her sentiments, "Exactly! You’re just being stubborn; perhaps you should consider that your human side might be more open-minded than you think?"
The Reincarnation Stone smiled coldly, its small face betraying no warmth. "Yun Zhi Yue, remember what you said about the strong holding power today. I agree to your request, but don’t regret it in the future!"
Yun Zhi Yue completely ignored the threat and happily celebrated with Yun Shijiu.
Then she turned to Li Shang with a serious expression and bowed deeply. "Master, during these hundred years in the Heavenly Realm, I have received your care at every turn. This disciple will always remember your kindness. However, as a being of the Underworld, I cannot stand idly by while my realm faces difficulties."
With that, she bid farewell to her master and prepared to return to the Underworld. "If fate allows it, we shall meet again as master and disciple," she expressed her gratitude once more.
Yun Zhi Yue knocked her head three times in respect before saying goodbye to the other Emperors.
Finally, she urged Yun Shijiu to focus on training with the Batwing Clan while also gathering information about Yue Shi before taking the Reincarnation Stone's hand and walking toward the Mingfu Gate.
Though she couldn't let go of Yue Shi, there was no news at all. Once she returned to the Underworld and found Sister San Sheng, perhaps they could peer into the Time River for any traces of Yue Shi.
As they walked, deep in thought, just as one foot was about to cross into the Underworld Gate, a chilling aura from Wu Yue Jian sent shivers down their spines.
Yun Zhi Yue barely had time to merge with the Reincarnation Stone's soul before being enveloped by Wu Yue Jian's red murderous intent.
Li Shang's gaze turned icy as he declared, "Did this master say you could leave?"
Yun Zhi Yue felt a jolt of anxiety; despite her strength in the Imperial Realm, facing that surrounding red aura made her freeze in place. "Master, what do you want?"
"You can leave if you go back to Wujie and speak with my true form."
A sense of foreboding washed over Yun Zhi Yue; Li Shang couldn’t possibly mean—no! She didn’t want to return to Wujie!
Just as she contemplated struggling against this fate, the Mingfu Gate was shattered by Wu Yue Jian!
Wrapped in a cold, fragrant black robe that isolated her from all sensations, she lost track of time—whether it was just a moment or an eternity. She found herself once again submerged in the Ice Pool that Li Shang had prepared for her.
Uncertain of how her clothes had vanished, her vision blurred by droplets of water, she could still clearly see the fury simmering in the depths of Li Shang's dark eyes.
She wanted to say something soothing to placate him and get through this moment, but before she could utter a word, his lips descended upon hers with fierce intensity, leaving her utterly speechless.
