Chapter 386 Goodbye Li Yue, A Complete Showdown!
Fengyu Palace, flickering candlelight.
Nan Lingyue stood in front of the palace window, looking calmly in the direction of the Emperor's sleeping palace, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xing'er knew that Ji Xiu was fine, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She was happy at the thought of leaving the realm of the gods with Ji Xiu soon.
Xiao Fei Niu looked curiously at the snowy figure on the palace bed. From the beginning, her curiosity turned into strangeness, and now she was shocked. She wondered what this woman had dreamt of to make her look so strange.
Cang Xue lay on the palace bed, tightly hugging a pillow. Her face was flushed to the extreme, her black hair in disarray, and her breath was scorching hot. Between her slightly parted red lips, there were soft moans that made people blush and their hearts race.
"Ji Xiu...."
"You belong to this lady!"
"This lady wants you!"
"I want all of you!"
"Mmm~"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fei Niu reached out and poked Cang Xue's cheek, muttering with a pouted mouth.
"Why does this woman always dream about my master?"
"Is she crazy?"
As she spoke, a jade hand had already grabbed her chubby arm. Before she could react, Cang Xue forcefully pulled her onto the palace bed, into her embrace, and bit down on Xiao Fei Niu's chubby cheek.
Ah!!
Xiao Fei Niu screamed, her big black eyes filled with horror. She thought this woman had gone mad and was going to eat her!
Hearing this, Nan Lingyue turned around and couldn't help but laugh when she saw the scene. She lightly opened her red lips and said,
"Serves you right!"
Xing'er hurriedly went forward to help. It took a lot of effort to pull Xiao Fei Niu out of Cang Xue's embrace. At this moment, Xiao Fei Niu's left cheek, which had been bitten by Cang Xue, was already bright red, with clear teeth marks and a few drops of water.
"Damn woman!"
Xiao Fei Niu wiped off the saliva from her face with disgust. At this moment, she was still a little frightened. It was too scary just now.
Nan Lingyue, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows and looked at Cang Xue, whose breathing had gradually calmed down. She slowly spoke to herself,
"Mission accomplished!"
"Next, it's up to Ji Xiu!"
...
Meanwhile, Ji Xiu left Fengyu Palace and arrived at the Emperor's sleeping palace.
Hoo!
Ji Xiu took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable nervousness, and gently pushed open the palace door.
Clang!
The palace door opened.
Ji Xiu stepped slowly into the Emperor's sleeping palace.
At this moment, the Emperor's sleeping palace was very dark, with no lights on, and it was pitch black. Ji Xiu felt that something was not right.
But even so, he still walked towards the inner part of the palace. At this moment, he couldn't afford to have any hesitation, because this was his only chance.
There was no one on the palace bed.
But there was the sound of splashing water behind the screen.
Splash!
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on behind the screen.
At this moment, twenty-four bright lights suddenly lit up in the Emperor's sleeping palace.
Li Yue, wearing a gorgeous golden imperial dress and barefoot, slowly walked out from behind the screen. A golden belt was tied around her slender waist, and her plump chest almost burst out, almost tearing her clothes apart. The perfect crescent shape was extremely eye-catching!
At this moment, her golden hair was slightly damp, and there were still traces of water on her unparalleled face, which was as beautiful as a dream. Her golden eyes looked at Ji Xiu without sadness or joy, half cold and half weary.
She still exuded extreme luxury and majesty all over her body. At this moment, even the most gorgeous words in the world couldn't describe her beauty!
"Tian'er!"
"Today is your wedding night."
"Why are you here?"
Li Yue lightly opened her flower-like lips, her tone as cold and majestic as before.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu didn't speak, he just looked at Li Yue quietly. Behind him, the palm of his hand had a faint celestial rune shining.
Li Yue seemed to be unaware of Ji Xiu's small action. She slowly walked to the table in front of the sleeping palace and sat down, lifting her delicate hand to pour two cups of apricot blossom wine.
One cup for Ji Xiu.
She had a glass.
After she tilted her head back and drank a glass of apricot blossom wine, she gently placed the wine glass on the table and then quietly looked at Ji Xiu for a while before sighing.
"So, in the end, you chose Lu Xiyue, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu's expression froze, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but at this moment, he still appeared calm. Finally, he shook his head and sat down at the table opposite Li Yue. He picked up the apricot blossom wine on the table and drank it all, then spoke with a somewhat complicated tone.
"When did you find out?"
Li Yue smiled when she heard this, then poured another glass of wine for Ji Xiu and replied.
"Since the night you killed Cang Tian."
So that's how it is!
Ji Xiu nodded.
He thought he had been discreet enough, but the reality was different. But here's the problem, if Li Yue knew early on that he was still himself, why didn't she expose him?
Seemingly guessing Ji Xiu's thoughts, Li Yue fell silent for a moment before speaking.
"Actually, even if you didn't kill Cang Tian that night, he would still die!"
Hmm!
Ji Xiu made a soft sound of agreement. He knew that what Li Yue said was true. In the novel, Li Yue was lonely throughout her life, a solitary existence accompanying the gods. So he knew that Cang Tian would definitely die, and he would die by Li Yue's hand.
But at this moment, Li Yue changed the subject. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as she said,
"But you don't know!"
"That night, besides you in the Broken Soul Mountain Range."
"I was there too!"
"I personally witnessed the entire process of you killing the experts from the Nine Heavens Storm Tower."
"I have to say, that night, my dear, you were quite impressive!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu suddenly understood. He spoke slowly,
"So, that broken jade piece, you also gave it to Cang Xue?"
Yes!
Li Yue did not deny it. After that night, everything was done by her.
"Why?"
Ji Xiu asked in a low voice. Since Li Yue knew everything, why didn't she personally hand him over to the Nine Heavens Storm Tower? Why did she go through the trouble of sending a broken jade piece to the Nine Heavens Storm Tower?
"Because I want the Nine Secrets and you!"
Li Yue slowly replied.
The reason she didn't expose Ji Xiu was because she wanted him to help her comprehend the final forbidden nine volumes of the Three Thousand Dao Collections.
The reason she gave the broken jade piece to Cang Xue was because she wanted Ji Xiu to make a choice. Whether to choose Lu Xiyue or her, because at present, she was the only one who could protect Ji Xiu in the entire Nine Heavens. She truly hoped that Ji Xiu would become the Lingtian Prince of her Divine Realm!
Of course, she still had her final plan that no one knew about.
"Are you done asking questions?"
"Now it's time for me, Li Yue, to ask you, Ji Xiu, the Crown Prince!"
Li Yue calmly spoke without joy or sorrow.
"You ask!"
Ji Xiu nodded.
After a moment of silence, Li Yue slowly asked,
"So, in your eyes, am I really inferior to Lu Xiyue?"
"You actually chose that crazy woman instead of me?!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu shook his head and replied,
"Your Majesty, that's not the key question!"
"The key question is, in the end, I am not the Lingtian Prince of the Divine Realm!"
"I have always been Ji Xiu!"
Hmm!
Li Yue nodded without denying it. She once again drank another glass of apricot blossom wine and then looked at Ji Xiu with interest as she asked,
"So, Ji Xiu, the Crown Prince!"
"After acting for so long, what is it that you truly desire?"
