Chapter 1557: Do You Want to Follow Me Now?

The lights and shadows started fading gradually, until they had completely disappeared, signaling that the sealed memory had returned to Xuanyuan Wanrong’s mind.

Her entire face had been drained of blood. It was scarily pale. Her hands were trembling, as she stood, stunned and glued to a spot.

“D*mn, those revolting beasts!” Duan Qide had gotten extremely furious at what the people from the Heaven Palace Sect had done, and he’d started to clamor for revenge. “I will raid their treasure trove as a punishment.”

“Count me in,” Buttface shouted immediately.

“Go away, I’m not counting you in.” Duan Qide glared at Buttface.

“Sh*t, why won’t you let me accompany you?” Buttface answered stubbornly.

The man and the Kylin stared at one another. Neither of them was going to back down.

Xu Que didn’t care enough to join in, and his gaze fell on Xuanyuan Wanrong. He really studied her.

Xu Que had known Xuanyuan Wanrong at a time that was tens of thousands of years in the future. Now that they were in the world of her memory, Xu Que had still felt that this woman was even colder and more indifferent than she would turn out to be tens of thousands of years later. Even though he didn’t loathe her, he had no good feelings toward her.

He’d also known that Xuanyuan Wanrong’s life had been very pitiful and that, after her parents had died, their souls had been imprisoned in the back mountain area of the Heaven Palace Sect. However, he’d never actually known what had occurred.

Now that he’d witnessed this memory with his own eyes, Xu Que felt very uncomfortable and full of guilt.

Suddenly, he’d recalled that when he’d rescued the souls of Xuanyuan Wanrong’s parents, he’d made a joke about her parents in front of Xuanyuan Wanrong. After all, he was accustomed to being cheeky and cheap, and it would’ve been strange if he hadn’t acted like that.

Who could have known that because of that joke, Xuanyuan Wanrong had become sworn enemies with him. And, because of that, Xu Que had always had unpleasant feelings about Xuanyuan Wanrong.

Now, he’d understood that some jokes were really beyond the pale.

“It seems as if my joke...was really quite tasteless.” Xu Que stroked his nose awkwardly like a child who had done something wrong, and he was embarrassed to face Xuanyuan Wanrong.

Just seeing Xuanyuan Wanrong’s trembling body and pale complexion, Xu Que felt extremely distressed.

After all, they had gotten to know each other, and then he had done something completely out of line. He had to apologize to her and find some way to make it up to her.

COUGH! COUGH! “... Miss Xuanyuan...” Xu Que thought it through and coughed, looking at Xuanyuan Wanrong.

But Xuanyuan Wanrong didn’t react at all and just stayed standing on the same spot, with tears in her eyes. Her face was deathly pale, and she was biting her lips, but there was still no color anywhere on her face.

It was completely understandable that the return of this unbearable memory had caused her much shock and disbelief.

“Little fellow, our previous agreement has become invalid. This lady is so pitiful, I can’t give her to you.” Duan Qide ran over and stood in front of Xu Que, his face full of disdain. Then he spit on Xu Que.

Xu Que’s expression changed, and he quickly moved away, avoiding the extreme danger.

“Sh*t, Duan Qide, you’re a disgusting person. There was actually poison in that spit.” Xu Que scolded him angrily.

Fortunately, the calamity-foreseeing art had warned him again. Otherwise, he would’ve been poisoned by the spit.

“Eh, you found that out also?” Duan Qide felt frightened again.

Poison in spit was one of his secret methods. The people who he’d spat at had almost all been killed by his sword, and those who knew this method were so few he could count them on one hand. “How did this fellow know?”

“You can go away and leave us alone also. Do you really think that I am here to steal a woman? My goal is not the same as yours. I only came here to destroy the Heaven Palace Sect,” Xu Que said as he rolled his eyes at Duan Qide’s crass nature.

“Destroy the Heaven Palace Sect? Just you alone?” Duan Qide suddenly laughed out loud..

“Ha, ha, ha!” Buttface also laughed along with him, mocking Xu Que.

PAH!

Xu Que threw a stick at him which knocked Buttface in the head.

“Shut up, you have some nerve to be laughing at me.”

1“Oh, Brother Xu, I will fight with you and never give up until I die.” Buttface roared.

“Won’t give up until you die? I don’t have the time to waste on you now.”

Xu Que looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and beckoned to her. “Miss Xuanyuan, let’s go, I will help you to destroy the Heaven Palace Sect. By the way, there is something else I want to tell you, although you might not believe everything I have to say.”

SWOOSH!

Xuanyuan Wanrong raised her head, her face pale as ice, and, with a chilly expression in her eyes, she stared at Xu Que. Then she said in a deep voice, “I don’t need you to intervene in my affairs. If you dare to say anything about what you saw today, I will, at all costs...”

“...You will fight with me and not give up until you die, right? Do you all love using this phrase?”

Xu Que interrupted Xuanyuan Wanrong and waved his hands in the air. ” Okay, don’t be so cold with me. In fact, this is not a real world at all. You are the One Chosen by Heaven, and I am the one chosen by you. Both of us are now in your world of memory.”

“What?” Buttface and Duan Qide exclaimed at the same time.

Xuanyuan Wanrong was also stunned and stared at Xu Que with her eyes wide open. There was a faint flash of panic in the depths of her eyes.

“Hey, hey, hey, d*mn, Xuanyuan Wanrong, what was that gaze supposed to mean? Don’t think that I didn’t see it. You mean that you look down on me? Back then, it was you who forcibly engraved my name onto the Heavenly Book of Taiyi. I haven’t even had the chance to get even with you yet.” Xu Que saw her look and immediately became unhappy, stamping his feet.

“Little fellow, please clarify what you’re talking about. This world is fake?” Duan Qide couldn’t sit still, but rushed over to Xu Que, asking questions.

“Sh*t, it can’t be. Does that mean that all of my stealing of treasure troves has been in vain?” Buttface was dumbfounded.

Xuanyuan Wanrong stared at Xu Que. Her expression was still ice-cold, and there was suspicion in her eyes. She was apparently not quite convinced by Xu Que’s words.

She found it hard to believe that she could ever fall in love with this kind of man. She also felt that it was even less likely that she would become a cultivation companion with this kind of person and have to go through the relationship tribulations together with him.

TSK! TSK! “It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. And anyway, whether you believe it or not, I still have many things to do. I’m finished talking to you.” Xu Que shrugged his shoulders. He didn’t care whether they believed him or not. He turned around to leave.

“Please explain yourself. If this is really the world of memory, wouldn’t the two of you be doomed?” Duan Qide quickly blocked his way and asked.

“Doomed? Why would we be doomed?” Xu Que replied.

“Passing the relationship tribulations, don’t the Ones Chosen by Heaven have to fall in love to be recognized by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi? I know about this. If the relationship tribulations fail, then both the Ones Chosen by Heaven will die.”

As Duan Qide said this, he looked at Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong with a strange expression on his face and continued, “Looking at how things are going for the two of you, it’s already a good thing that you’re not fighting each other to the death. How could it be possible for you to fall in love?”

“That’s right, you don’t deserve Xuanyuan Fairy, and I don’t agree to this marriage! You must be lying to us!” Buttface echoed what Duan Qide had said.

Evidently, these two didn’t believe what Xu Que had said, but they were afraid that there was a possibility that it really was true, so they were trying to use logical reasoning to see how Xu Que would react.

However, hearing this, Xu Que laughed. “Ha, ha, ha, who said you must fall in love and pass the relationship tribulations to be recognized by the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi? I only need to do something big that will upset the subsequent development of this world of memory, making it impossible for it to continue. Then the relationship tribulations would be over.”

Xu Que looked up at Xuanyuan Wanrong and continued, “Indeed, I know you don’t really like me, and I don’t really like you either. It was a misunderstanding that I was written into the Heavenly Book of Taiyi by you. It was also a coincidence that we entered into this world of memory together. The last relationship tribulations we went through was in my world of memory, and we also used this method to crack my world of memory, thus passing the first level.”

“So...” Xu Que reached out a hand toward Xuanyuan Wanrong, and a smile appeared on his face. “Although taking revenge here is not true revenge, once we get out of this memory, I will help you! But before that, do you want to follow me now to experience the thrill of revenge?”

At this moment, the sunlight passed through the woods and fell on Xu Que’s face, reflecting a warm smile, which warmed the cold and broken heart of Xuanyuan Wanrong.
