As she spoke, You You’s body released black rays of light. She released both hands as her body slowly drifted up, stopping a little above the ground.

A black whirlwind spun around her as she closed her eyes. The black whirlwind increased in intensity, whipping her long skirt.

“You You!”

Azure wanted to dash forwards, but he was stopped by some powerful energy, so he couldn’t get close.

Sima You Yue felt as if she was also being torn apart by that energy, wracking her body with pain. However, no matter how painful it was, You You did not utter a single cry.

“You You-”

Azure was on the outside, heart filling with self-blame and pain. Tears covered his entire face. If it wasn’t’ because it was the wrong time, You Yue might even have laughed.

She could feel that the body was quickly losing strength, as it was all absorbed into the Sky Splitter Devil Sword. Finally, her body turned into a black ray of light and shot into the Sky Splitter.

You Yue’s consciousness flowed with it. Before she sank into darkness, the last thing she heard was Azure’s cry as he fell apart.

“You You, I won’t let your soul scatter-”

When Sima You Yue woke up, her face was already covered with tears. She did not know why she would cry. The one who went through it clearly wasn’t her, but she still felt terrible and couldn’t stop crying.

She finally understood that it was not that reaching a monarch rank was not powerful enough to destroy the devil sword, but that once Azure reached the monarch rank, he was not willing to destroy it.

Because she had fused with the Sky Splitter, it was a place where she resided. He could not destroy the only thing he had left of her.

As such, he kept the sky splitter in here, refusing to destroy it. He left a part of his soul here, as if he was accompanying her.

“You You…”

That pained and broken cry echoed beside her one again, filling her with heartbreak. She clutched both hands to her chest, tucking her head in between her knees as she continued to cry nonstop.

“You You… Sigh…”

Sima You Yue could feel that there seemed to be one more person beside her, and he lightly patted her black her.

When she lifted her head, she saw someone who looked just like the person in the picture.

“Azure…” She involuntarily greeted him.

“You You, you’re back. I finally managed to wait for you.” Azure lifted her face and said with a smile.

Although his appearance had changed a lot since then, his eyes still filled with tenderness. It did not change with the passing of time.

“Azure…” You Yue called back, her voice sounding like You You’s did back then.

She felt as if this was not her voice.

“I thought… I’d failed. That I’d ever be able to see you again.” Azure pulled her up and hugged her, resting his forehead on hers.

Sima You Yue could feel her head getting hot. She stretched out both hands to wrap around his waist, snuggling sweetly inside his embrace.

Suddenly her heart was chilled as Mo Sha’s aura rushed into her brain. It helped her to regain clarity.

She released him and stepped backwards, leaving his embrace.

“You You, what’s wrong?” Azure lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes carrying traces of hurt.

Sima You Yue looked at him, saying, “Sorry, but I’m not your You You. I’m You Yue, Sima You Yue.”

“I know your name. But, you are my You You. The You You that I’ve waited so many years for.” Azure said.

“I think you have it wrong.” Sima You Yue shook her head, “I’m from the human clan. I’m not the black lotus from the Ninth Underworld Mountain.”

“You are.” Azure stretched forth a hand to stroke her cheek. He slowly rested on the space between her eyebrows, as if he were gently caressing her, “You are You You. I know, you’ve returned.”

“But I…”

“Ssh-” Azure stretched forth a finger and placed it on her lips, “I’ve read your memory. Whatever you want to say, I know.”

“You know?”

Azure nodded, “Ever since you entered this place, I awoke. That is why I know about everything. I also know about him.”

He moved his hand down from her cheek and came to her bracelet, stroking her devil snare bracelet.

Sima You Yue was shocked. Just now, Mo Sha was the one who let her come back to her senses. He knew!

He was the emperor of the human race while Mo Sha was the Devil King of the devil realm. Would he…

“Do not worry. I will not harm him.” Azure said, “I will not harm myself.”

“Yourself?” Sima You Yue was confused as she looked at him with round eyes, “You, you’re saying…”

Azure smiled, scaring her.

“You You, being able to wait for you before I leave has already made me very happy. However, thinking that I have to lose you again makes me very upset. What should I do?”

“I…” Sima You Yue saw the pain in his eyes. She could no longer say that she was not You You.

After a moment, she asked what she was the most curious about, “It’s been so many years, how did your soul survive this long?”

“Sealed it.” Azure said, “When I realised that you had indeed disappeared, I sealed myself until you would return. Because I sealed myself, although millions and millions of years passed, I remained.

“But you said that you were going to disappear…”

“This seal can only buy me some time. But once the seal is released, I will disappear. As for the way to release the seal, that would be you using your blood to open the door to this little realm.”

“You…”

Sima You Yue didn’t know what to say. In order to wait for the one he had loved the most, he had chosen this kind of method. He had sealed himself for ten million years. He had waited for ten million years just to see her again.

Although the one he was waiting for was not her, she was still moved.

“You You, you are her, but you are also not her. Your physique is rather special, however, it is still incomplete. You are in a bit of danger.” Azure siad, “But, there is not enough time…”

He placed a hand on her shoulder and her clothes slowly turned to ashes. She was a little embarrassed as she was left with only a little red undergarment.

Sima You Yue didn’t think that he would suddenly destroy her clothes. Before she said anything, she could feel a bout of aura enter her body. Then, her back began to heat up, and it was the same as when she saw the black lotus from before.

When Azure came behind her, her perfect back only had two little lines, it was extremely enticing.

He looked directly at her perfect back and saw a black lotus slowly appear. Its long stalk slowly extended below her waist, on it were nine beautiful petals.

It looked exactly like the black lotus on the door of the little realm.

Azure watched as the black lotus slowly appeared, his eyes filling with tenderness. He stretched forth a finger, stroking every petal, as if he was caressing his most beloved one.

“Inside your body flows the bloodline of You You’s clan.”

Sima You Yue did not know how long her back continued to burn for, but she felt as if her bones were going to turn to ashes. Just as she could take it no longer, an icy chill brushed away her pain.

And what he said filled her heart with surprise.

She had the bloodline of the black lotus?

“Only those with her bloodline will be able to inherit her soul.” Azure continued.
