Because of that fate...
When Gu Ping came to his senses, he noticed a spark of life in Ye Youluo's eyes as she smiled at him. Her short hair, about an inch long, seemed to grow visibly before his eyes, quickly reaching her waist, leaving Gu Ping utterly stunned.
The blood-stained sky highlighted Ye Youluo's powerful aura, presenting her with the grace of a war god in Gu Ping's eyes, like a lotus blooming in the Blood Sea, flourishing even in death.
Due to the influence of the Black-Red Chess Piece, Gu Ping felt as if he were kneeling on one leg, holding fresh flowers while proposing to Ye Youluo. He was mesmerized by her smile, completely dazed and unresponsive for a long time until Ye Youluo's laughter finally snapped him back to reality.
"Why is he proposing to me? Should I consider it? I look so ordinary; how could someone as impressive as him want someone who barely looks presentable? With my appearance, I might as well be a little red face—it's increasingly hard to take myself seriously."
Gu Ping quickly stood up. As he gripped the chess piece tightly between his legs, he felt his spiritual energy becoming sluggish. The red piece was like his Yin Yang Cloak, capable of suppressing the external spiritual energy.
I can see it.
What? Does he think I’m easy to bully? If he keeps looking at me like that, I might just gouge out my own eyes. Hmph.
Having freed herself from the constraints of fate, Ye Youluo now appeared to Gu Ping as a girl should be—unlike the elusive and intangible figure she had been before.
Retracting his somewhat inappropriate gaze, Gu Ping fiddled with the chess piece in his hand. No more proposals?
What’s the point of keeping them around?
And what then? Am I really planning to just die here? I’ve only just escaped the shackles of fate; I can’t just accept that.
But what can I do? He had arranged everything. He knew Xiao Zhang and Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, and even Hong Yulong had not left Tiandong City. But what difference did it make? Soon enough, the top twenty beasts would seek to break their seals. The Nine Nether Immortal would soon arrive, and there were others in the World of Mortals who would restrain him. It would be apparent to the Nine Nether Immortal that he was very much alive and wouldn’t let him off easily. Moreover, I don’t deny it; whether it’s Oil Master Daoist or Yellow Spring Path Sovereign, they could easily discern his situation and escape from Bu Luo.
A sense of loss echoed in Gu Ping's ears, preventing her from continuing to speak. Ye Youluo knew she was afraid; she feared that if Gu Ping continued, she would want to escape from there, choose to live on, and even sabotage her own plans. She was unwilling to let go of the fate she had just managed to escape, unwilling to bury her future so soon after glimpsing that world. She was unwilling because she was Ye Youluo, and because she was Ye Youluo, her unwillingness could only manifest in this way.
"I don't deny it. Was my life a mistake? Fate has drifted far from me," Ye Youluo thought as she felt herself fading away.
As she spoke, Gu Ping slowly retrieved the Yin Yang Canopy from her left leg. In an instant, light enveloped Chang Kong, dispelling the blood-red glow. Gu Ping used her left leg to grasp Heizi, significantly suppressing the external light and controlling its spread.
The fleeting brilliance quickly faded but still caught the attention of the Blood Sea Beast, which began moving toward them.
As if ignoring everything around her, Gu Ping took Ye Youluo's Canghong Jade Leg and placed the Yin Yang Canopy over it. Then she retrieved the Yin Cloak and draped it over Ye Youluo's leg. The gray Chaotic Spiritual Power swiftly began to stabilize under Hongzi's suppression.
What if I’m just afraid he’s deceiving me?
So what? In the end, Bu Luo is just a dead man. Perhaps living isn’t as significant as he thinks, Gu Ping sighed, tightly gripping the pieces within her legs, merging them completely into her body and suppressing the powerful spiritual fluctuations of Dao Foundation. My fate has come to an end; Jie Donglai will face his own destiny.
The Blood Sea Demon Emperor approached Gu Ping, observing with interest the Little Guy who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, as if watching a lover bid farewell, savoring the scene before him.
Soon enough, a furious roar interrupted its thoughts; the Raging Lion King had broken its seal at rank twenty-seven. The Blood Sea Demon Emperor realized it could no longer maintain its position in Shadow Tower Forest and decided to take advantage of the Raging Lion King's weakened state to eliminate it first.
Damn it! Just let our two Little Guys live; one king is enough for that world! Hahaha!
