Chapter 1739: Chapter 799: Oath

When Ye Lingyue and Di Xin returned to the Jiu Provinces Main Camp, it was already around dawn.

Little Jiu Nian came unexpectedly, and Ye Lingyue, having just come out of seclusion earlier, hadn’t even had a chance to meet with the other team members.

Taking the opportunity, Di Xin told Ye Lingyue about some things that had happened in the Jiu Provinces Main Camp during her days of seclusion.

"Yue Mei is dead?"

Ye Lingyue was taken aback.

"She passed away the day after you went into seclusion. The entire Jiu Provinces Representative Team was very angry. Chen Mu was heartbroken for a few days, reportedly losing all appetite. Everyone says he is a hopeless romantic."

Di Xin mocked.

A guy like Chen Mu, what kind of hopeless romantic is he?

I haven’t forgotten how he looked at my wife in the main tent, like a hungry wolf.

"Something seems suspicious about Yue Mei’s death, it’s necessary to keep an eye on Chen Mu."

Ye Lingyue frowned.

Yue Mei’s death would undoubtedly spark some dissatisfaction towards her at the Jiu Provinces Main Camp.

She had injured Yue Mei, but she knew exactly how much strength she used, there was no way it was fatal.

"Di Xin, I couldn’t ask earlier, but what’s going on with Fifth Sister and Demon Emperor Chi Ye?"

Ye Lingyue remembered the interaction between Demon Emperor Chi Ye and Fifth Sister at the Demon King Tongtian’s banquet night, which seemed rather peculiar.

In her memory, Fifth Sister had always been shy and honest, how would she get involved with someone as hot-headed as Demon Emperor Chi Ye?

Di Xin smirked and gave a brief summary of the ambiguous situation between Chi Ye and Wuyue.

"Are you saying Fifth Sister and Chi Ye almost... and that Fifth Sister likes Chi Ye?"

Ye Lingyue’s beautiful eyes widened, her mouth almost agape.

"I don’t know if Fifth Sister likes Chi Ye, but Chi Ye is definitely interested in her. The way he looks at her is just like the way I look at you."

Di Xin teased.

"What nonsense, unless Fifth Sister agrees, you can’t just play matchmaker. Have you forgotten about Big Brother Yan Jiu and Sister Cai’er? Even though Fifth Sister doesn’t have parents, she’s still a disciple of the Lonely Moon Sea’s Sect Leader, and Chi Ye is a Demon Emperor. Them being together would face overwhelming obstacles and might not end well."

Ye Lingyue put on a serious face.

The relationship between Lan Cai’er and Yan Jiu was scorned by many, and because of that, their child, Little Jiu Nian, also bore a heavy burden.

Thinking of Little Jiu Nian facing the Demon World alone at such a young age, and almost dying several times, Ye Lingyue felt uneasy.

She didn’t want Wuyue to repeat the same mistake.

"Wife, do you disdain demons? No wonder you never let me touch you. Chi Ye and Fifth Sister have only known each other for a short while and they’re already at that stage, but you and I..."

Di Xin’s handsome face fell, shoulders slumped, showing a hint of self-pity.

"That’s different. Chi Ye is a Demon Emperor, honored by many. The obstacles for Fifth Sister being with him are too great. Most importantly, she hasn’t fallen for him yet. But you and I..."

Worried that Di Xin would misunderstand, Ye Lingyue hurried to explain, but in doing so realized she had fallen into Di Xin’s trap.

"What about you and I?"

Di Xin coaxed Ye Lingyue to continue.

"I love you, and you love me. If two hearts are in harmony, facing a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, we’ll go through it willingly."

Ye Lingyue blurted out after clenching her teeth, her heart pounding like a drum, not knowing where to direct her gaze.

Such words of love between a man and a woman were something Ye Lingyue had never spoken before.

Di Xin laughed heartily, and without caring they were still on the road, spread his arms wide and lifted her up by the waist.

Under the starry and moonlit sky, a gentle breeze caressed them.

Di Xin gazed deeply at the blushing person in his arms, his phoenix eyes filled with the gentlest glow.

He leaned down, lightly pecked those sweet and tempting lips, and having tasted its sweetness, slowly moved to a deeper kiss, their tongues entwined gradually, the warmth penetrating through the thin fabric to caress each other’s skin.

It was unknown how long the kiss lasted, but finally, as the person in his arms began breathing rapidly, Di Xin had to release her lips.

His eyes were still tinged with a lustful red, his voice a bit hoarse.

"Wife, if it’s a mountain of knives, I’ll stand in front of you, if it’s a sea of fire, I’ll carry you across. Remember, no one can separate us. Such words of love, you may only say to me, and I’m only willing to hear them from you."

Ye Lingyue was slightly taken aback, sensing a faint trace of jealousy in Di Xin’s words.

No big deal, what’s with this guy suddenly getting jealous again?

Without knowing, Di Xin, as he heard Ye Lingyue mention two hearts in harmony, couldn’t help but think of Xi Jiuye.

So in the past life, did she love Xi Jiuye the same way?

For Xi Jiuye, she was willing to leave home, defying her parents’ wishes.

As his wife whispered those tender words of love.

While secretly delighted, he also felt a slight jealousy towards Xi Jiuye.

Maybe it’s because Xi Jiuye has been showing up around his wife too frequently lately, amplifying Di Xin’s sense of crisis.

Even though that man no longer existed in his wife’s memory, just thinking that in her past life, she might have felt for him and even spoken those words of love, made Di Xin feel a sting in his heart.

Di Xin held Ye Lingyue tightly, not letting go, and throughout the journey, he constantly nibbled at her, leaving Ye Lingyue’s face flushed, puzzled by what kind of madness Di Xin was having this time.

By the time they returned to the Jiu Provinces Main Camp, it was already around dawn. After a short rest, Ye Lingyue gathered the other members of the Huangquan Team.

"Captain, you’ve finally come out."

Upon seeing Ye Lingyue, the morale of the Huangquan Team soared, even the Tang Ancestor and others looked jubilant.

"What happened? Why do all of you look so excited?"

Ye Lingyue asked curiously, glancing at Di Xin, who just smiled without saying a word.

"Captain, you need to go and see the new Jiu Provinces Heaven and Earth List!"

With that, the ever-eager Qin Xiaochuan urged Ye Lingyue to head to the entrance of the Jiu Provinces Main Camp to see the Heaven and Earth List.

The Jiu Provinces Main Camp now resembled a small city, similar to super cities like Xuanwu City and Wanxiang City, with two constantly scrolling Heaven and Earth Lists hanging at the camp’s entrance.

First was the Jiu Provinces Heaven List, which ranks all cities, societies, and representative teams across the Ancient Nine Provinces.

Ye Lingyue glanced up and down at the latest ranking list, noticing significant fluctuations in the standings.

The most conspicuous was undoubtedly Wuling City. About a year ago, when Ye Lingyue first saw the Jiu Provinces Heaven List, Wuling City was listed, but ranked low, not being noticed by many.

But within just a year’s time, Wuling City, thanks to Di Xin as a "Demon Hunting Machine," and Wuyue’s recent defeat of Demon King Tongtian, both the Wuling Team and Wuling City have benefited from it.

Wuling City had already climbed to the eighth position in the overall ranking, right after Wuling City, and the Wuling Team was ranked thirteenth.
