Chapter 1810 - 1103: Poison, Children

Listening to such words from Jun Wuxie, Sui Yi turned his face and said lightly, "Between you... you should not and cannot have children."

Jun Wuxie’s gaze trembled, suddenly turning to look at her.

"What do you mean?"

What do you mean...

Sui Yi crossed his hands behind his back, looking at the misty lake water: "You are of the Human Race imperial bloodline... the true lineage of the Jun Family, even if the Jun Family is now destroyed, you are still one of its few bloodlines. Because of this, its fate will intensify upon you. The fewer the people, the stronger the distribution of fate... Fate is divided into fortune and destiny. Fortune can make you have deep opportunities and quick cultivation, but as for destiny... It’s one of the rules that races do not intermingle, especially among the Humans, Witches, and Divine Races... As for me, it means can’t fall in love, and for you... can’t have offspring."

Cannot have offspring.

Jun Wuxie’s fist clenched, suddenly recalling that when he and Qi Lian just got married, during the Lantern Festival in Mortal Realm, he bought a lantern and turned to see his usually indifferent wife bending down to play with a braided child, all smiles on her face...

She said she really liked children...

Thinking again about Jun Yuqing and the High Priest...

Cannot fall in love, cannot have offspring...

No wonder, no wonder when Sui Yi initially learned that he and Qi Lian got married, her expression changed momentarily, he then thought she was heartbroken for Qi Lian marrying him...

"Is it absolute?" Jun Wuxie’s voice was somewhat hoarse.

"Absolutely counterproductive... The mother will surely die, and the child... will have little chance of survival, and it’s hard to estimate what the future holds for the child, after all, the bloodline counteracts, and the heavens are displeased."

The mother will surely die.

Jun Wuxie held Qi Lian’s hand gently, as if holding an entire world.

"Then let’s not have children. If she likes them, she can adopt a few later."

"You have the Jun Family bloodline... Jun Family, likely only left you," Sui Yi looked at him.

Can it really be forsaken?

Jun Wuxie’s expression was faint.

"People are selfish, I am too...."

What Jun Family, what imperial destiny.

He does not want any of it.

Once he gave up everything to find her, now naturally he can give up everything to stay with her.

"With you like this, I am reassured..." Sui Yi finally smiled.

Jun Wuxie also smiled.

As long as she’s alive, that’s enough.

——————

After Qi Lian woke up, naturally, she didn’t know what she had missed, but she knew she was already well. Upon seeing Sui Yi, she reverted to childish behavior, showing none of the steadiness befitting a wife, filled with delight.

Previously Jun Wuxie would feel some jealousy, but now he just thinks her happiness looks quite good.

Sui Yi already spoiled her, reached out to touch Qi Lian’s head, and asked about those mysterious people...

"They came for me... I have this feeling, and feel they were trying to capture me... alive, not risking death, simply because me and Wuxie had just broken through, and I happened to have just comprehended our Witch Spirit Court’s Puppetry Technique, using over a dozen puppets to kill many of them.... But they used some poison, and I was caught off guard... Master, these are fragments of my memory."

Qi Lian still feels some lingering fear now, so she condensed her memory fragments for Sui Yi to see.

After Sui Yi saw them, he raised an eyebrow.

"Hidden Gate"

Hidden Gate?

Qi Lian and the two had never been to the Outer Domain Battlefield, naturally unaware of the Hidden Gate’s power.

Listening to Sui Yi slowly recount the happenings of the Outer Domain Battlefield, but Sui Yi omitted the matters of the Heavenly Venerate Cocoon, also because Qi Lian had just recovered, her character is extremely pure, it could easily lead to heartburn or sadness, and Sui Yi was just one step away from saving people, feeling no need to speak further...

"Hidden Gate wants so much war merit, and also captures our Witch Spirit Court Wizards... surely related to the Minor Yuan Realm..."

Qi Lian was still somewhat worried, when she saw Sui Yi had a gentle and serene face, she seemed not worried.

This kind of temperament eased her worries.

Besides, Sui Yi said: "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

Qi Lian was reassured, feeling tired and about to fall asleep, Jun Wuxie wrapped her in his arms, right in front of Sui Yi’s face... Qi Lian blushed, about to push him away..

"Did I interrupt you?"

Sui Yi lazily looked over.

Qi Lian shivered, quickly saying no, no, and then obediently snuggled to sleep.

But undeniably, over the years, she has grown accustomed to this man’s embrace, his warmth...

Only then could she sleep.

After she fell asleep, Jun Wuxie asked about the true situation of the Foreign Race in the Outer Domain Battlefield.

He was not so easily fooled as Qi Lian.

Sui Yi understated, Jun Wuxie remained silent for a long time, then said: "Do you want to take back the Witch Spirit Court?"

What?

Sui Yi was startled.

Jun Wuxie saw from her expression that she did not know.

"The Main World is fragmented, but the Witch Spirit Court and Empty Court Ruins have always been within the Three Realms Origin, and within the Imperial Court, considered forbidden land..."

These two places... Sui Yi never thought of going to reclaim them.

In her eyes, they were never as important as people.

However, for the final step in saving her, if they were there, it would undoubtedly be more secure.

Besides, she knew about Qi Lian’s affairs, recalling those who were captured and turned into cocoons...

"At the beginning, I didn’t place much importance on the Witch Spirit Court"

Jun Wuxie was slightly dazed upon hearing these words.

"I am a Primordial Spirit; I had too much from the beginning, and my journey to the Human Realm was due to personal reasons, the Mortal Realm is merely my temporary residence... the establishment of the Witch Spirit Court was purely passive... for so many years, the Witch Spirit Court has taken deep roots and formed a system, I’ve always believed that even if I leave one day, it wouldn’t matter to the Witch Spirit Court... after all, I do not belong to the Human Realm"

Do not belong to the Human Realm.

Jun Wuxie suddenly understood that perhaps the tragedy of the High Priestess and Jun Yuqing stemmed not only from the laws of heaven and earth, but even more from her absolute calmness and restraint — she always knew who she was and where she belonged.

As for the High Priestess’s restraint, Jun Yuqing was so humble.

Perhaps they loved each other, but what separated them was not only two races.

But also heaven and earth.

"The person with the Imperial Crown should naturally stand above the nine heavens... this world cannot keep you"

Jun Wuxie said sincerely.

These words seemed familiar to Sui Yi... Jhiang Chenyu seemed to have said them too, only with more sarcasm.

"Is that so... is it also because the Human Realm does not belong to me... but I neglected the Witch Spirit Court... after that battle, I sealed the Divine Race and divided the central veins of the Human Race into the Three Realms Origin... I had left instructions regarding the Witch Spirit Court"

"Yes, Qi Lian mentioned... she said you instructed the Witch Spirit Court to either go into seclusion or dissolve, each seeking their own life... but how could they possibly abandon the High Priestess alone to suffer in the Ninefold Demon Tower, thus leading to the later revenge plan against the Human and Divine Races..."

As for the result, Qi Lian did not know, because Sui Yi cared for her, so those senior sisters and brothers excluded her, as both protection and helplessness.

— Perhaps they already knew it was a path of no return, if certain death awaited, they still wanted to leave the loved little sister of the High Priestess alive...

Not seeking the rise of the Witch Spirit Court, just leaving her alone...

"She remembered, her senior sister Spirit Master Li Yuling told her just before she lost consciousness"

"If truly lonely and unbearable, then give up, we’ll always wait for you at the Naihe Bridge... if you can endure, burn a copy of the Witch Scripture praised by the High Priestess for them every ten years... Qi Lian forgets some of the past but remembers this well..."

Jun Wuxie’s voice was light, Sui Yi closed her eyes.

"So, this is where I failed them the most"

She never thought... those disciples she took in one by one, would revere her so, sacrificing their lives for her, as Jhiang Chenyu said...

High Priestess, you are too proud, too ethereal, your heart is concerned with all living beings, but have you ever lowered your head to see those closest to you?

She had not.

Jun Wuxie suddenly heard Sui Yi gently say: "Yuling lied to her... those who died... none entered reincarnation, their souls entangled with their bodies, refusing to leave this world... even if she went to the Naihe Bridge, she could not find them"

Those lone souls, forever waiting in the fragmented world, across star domains, across seas, waiting eternally lonely for the companions of the Witch Spirit Court...

Perhaps, waiting for her as well.

Hidden in the cocoons devoured by the alien egg, bearing humiliation and pain, just waiting for her...

Sui Yi opened her eyes, vast as a starry ocean.

"So the Witch Spirit Court, I will reclaim it with my own hands"

Another place.

The Hidden Gate.

The Sect Leader of the Hidden Gate sat there, listening to the reports below, with a list floating in front of him, names lined up, most were crossed out in red.

No, it could be said, almost all were crossed out.

Only the name Loulan hung at the top.

"Witch Spirit Court..."

He slightly furrowed his eyebrows: "Only Loulan remains..."

He burned the list and stood up: "The High Priestess with the Imperial Crown could already unite with others to kill a Supreme, it won’t be long before she reaches the Supreme state herself... she also destroyed the three clans and took the cocoon..."

With a wave of his hand, everyone below withdrew.

The pitch-black great hall felt somewhat empty.

He stood up and half-kneeled on the ground, using the Turtle Puy Protocol to draw a formation, a while later, a suspended human face appeared on the formation.

He prostrated and reported certain matters obediently...

"Master, now only Loulan and the High Priestess are left, do you want us to..."

"Only they remain? It won’t be long before those people come back to life"

"What! How is that possible! Those people are all..."

"They will...."

The human face had a slightly eerie smile.

"But when they come back to life, it will be her time to die..."

————————

With Sui Yi around, Jun Wuxie and the others were safe and sound, and since the poison was resolved, Qi Lian wished to become an ornament on Sui Yi’s body, refusing to leave, while Jun Wuxie, a rare bloodline of the Jun Family, never thought of using his luck to gain anything, instead, he clung to his little wife, never leaving her side, however, cultivation could not be abandoned, or else how could he have the strength to protect Qi Lian.
