Chapter 3320: Su Die
Su Zimo looked at the blood-robed woman and felt his heart skip a beat. He had a dazed expression and did not know if this scene was reality or an illusion.
It had been more than 80,000 years since the two of them parted.
Unlike when Die Yue transformed into a b.u.t.terfly in Ping Yang Town and left, the two of them were separated by life and death in the medium chiliocosm.
In fact, Su Zimo did not even know if he would be able to see Die Yue again after ascending to the major chiliocosm.
What would Die Yue be like when they met again?
It was only at that moment that he realized that Die Yue was still the same person he thought about day and night. In fact, she was even younger than before.
There was an additional hint of girlishness on her carefree and lazy face.
Su Zimo had once seen Die Yue die in front of him with his own eyes.
That despair, powerlessness and pain made him wish he was dead.
He left his old friends and home to travel alone through the medium chiliocosm so that he could relieve the pain in his heart. However, it was still difficult for him to free himself.
Earlier on, the moment he saw Die Yue, all his hurt and pain vanished.
There was only endless joy in his heart.
Su Zimo’s eyes were red and he could not bear to leave at all. He merely looked at Die Yue in a daze, unable to even bear to disturb her.
After an unknown period of time.
Suddenly, the blood-robed woman harrumphed softly and said, “You’ve glared at me for a long time. How rude!”
As she said that, the blood-robed woman opened her eyes and looked in Su Zimo’s direction.
“Eh?”
When the blood-robed woman saw Su Zimo’s expression, she pursed her lips and a smile appeared in her beautiful eyes. “You’re quite an interesting person. Do you have to feel so aggrieved that your eyes are reddened just because I scolded you a little?”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat and he felt vaguely uneasy. He hurried forward and arrived under the peach blossom tree, asking with a quivering voice, “Die Yue, don’t you recognize me?”
“Why should I recognize you?”
The blood-robed woman glared at Su Zimo for a while before shaking her head.
When Su Zimo saw that Die Yue did not seem like she was joking with him, his figure swayed and his face turned incomparably pale!
The words of Empress Evil from back then appeared in his mind.
“She would gain a new life in the major chiliocosm, but it would not be a rebirth.”
“The so-called new life means wiping away all traces of this lifetime.”
“If she gains a new life in the major chiliocosm, she might become any one of the ten thousand races. Even if she cultivates again, she will forget about everything in this lifetime, including you.”
In the end, Empress Evil was right.
The two of them reunited but did not know each other.
Su Zimo’s heart ached.
The joy from earlier on dissipated significantly as well.
Right then, the blood-robed woman continued, “Furthermore, my name is not Die Yue. It’s Su Die.”
“Huh?”
Su Zimo was stunned for a moment and asked, “Why is your surname Su? Who gave you that name?”
“I named myself.”
At the mention of that, a smug look flashed through the blood-robed woman’s eyes. “I was raised by a group of b.u.t.terflies and the first word I ever said was Su. The first word I recognized was also Su.”
“I’m guessing that I must have been an impressive figure in my previous life. Since the word Su is so important to me, it should be my surname…”
Before the blood-robed woman could finish, she saw that Su Zimo’s eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.
After a lifetime of reincarnation, Die Yue almost forgot everything about her previous life and even herself.
However, she had not forgotten about him.
On the peach blossom tree, the blood-robed woman looked down at Su Zimo who was crying uncontrollably. Her heart skipped a beat and she felt an inexplicable heartache.
The blood-robed woman closed her eyes and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, she floated down and arrived before Su Zimo, asking gently, “What’s your name?”
“My name is Su Zimo.”
Su Zimo’s eyes were red from crying as he replied softly.
“Oh.”
The blood-robed woman replied in a seemingly casual manner.
Su Zimo wiped away the tears on his face casually and took a deep breath. “Miss Die, I want to tell you a story. Are you willing to listen?”
“That depends on how well you say it.”
The blood-robed woman smiled gently.
Su Zimo nodded and tried his best to compose himself, revealing a reminiscent expression as he said softly, “There’s a small town in Tianhuang Mainland called Ping Yang Town.”
“There’s a scholar in the town who owns a residence of his own. There’s also a peach blossom tree planted in the courtyard, similar to this one.”
As he said that, Su Zimo pointed at the peach blossom tree at the side.
No matter what, Die Yue still remembered some things.
If not for that, there would not be these peach blossom trees planted near her residence.
Su Zimo believed that that period of time in Ping Yang Town left a deep impression in Die Yue’s heart.
He hoped to use this to awaken the memories of Die Yue’s previous life.
Su Zimo continued, “The scholar’s daily life was ordinary. It was nothing more than reading and writing. One day, he went out and encountered a severely injured and unconscious red-robed woman, saving her…”
When Su Zimo first met the two of them, Die Yue left him three gifts. Then, he cultivated continuously and chased after her footsteps. When he arrived at the medium chiliocosm, the two of them finally met…
Then, the two of them fought against the world hand in hand and crushed the Heavenly Court. In the end, Die Yue died in the hands of Brahma Ghost Mother…
This story was extremely long.
Su Zimo fell into his memories and unknowingly, he recounted the story for three days and nights.
He did not realize that even after such a long time, the blood-robed woman did not reveal any impatience on her face. She listened to him quietly without interrupting.
Instead, when he mentioned the emotional parts, a hint of gentleness flashed through the blood-robed woman’s eyes as she looked at him.
After the entire story was told, Su Zimo snapped out of his stupor and heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s a great story.”
The blood-robed woman smiled faintly. “You’re not trying to tell me that the scholar in that story was you and the red-robed woman was my previous life, right?”
“You don’t believe me?”
Su Zimo did not expect that it would be useless even after telling her everything about her previous life. He could not help but feel anxious.
An idea crossed him as he hurriedly took out a painting from his storage bag and unfolded it in front of the blood-robed woman.
There were two people drawn on the painting—a man and a woman.
The man had black hair, green robes and a burning gaze—it was Su Zimo.
The woman’s blood-colored robes reached the ground and she looked down on the world—it was Die Yue.
This was a painting given to Su Zimo by Painting Immortal Mo Qing before he ascended.
“Miss Die, look.”
Su Zimo pointed at the two people on the painting. “This is a painting given to me by an old friend in the medium chiliocosm. Aren’t the people in the painting us?”
The blood-robed woman glanced at the painting and her gaze landed on a line of small words at the bottom right corner of the painting. She read it softly, “Junior Brother Su, I hope that you can find her as soon as possible and spend the rest of your lives together.”
The blood-robed woman looked at the words and smelled the faint fragrance from the painting. Suddenly, she asked, “This was given to you by a woman, right?”
“Yes.”
Su Zimo nodded instinctively. “Heaven and Earth Academy’s Painting Immortal, Senior Sister Mo Qing.”
“Senior Sister Mo Qing, huh? Why haven’t I heard you mention her before?”
The blood-robed woman glared at Su Zimo and asked with a fake smile.
“I—”
Su Zimo was stumped for a moment.
In his story earlier on, he was mostly talking about how much he missed Die Yue. He naturally skipped talking about other people as much as he could.
Suddenly!
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he snapped out of his stupor. He looked at Die Yue in disbelief with an emotional expression and couldn’t care less. He went forward and grabbed Die Yue’s hands, asking with a trembling voice, “Y-You’ve remembered, right?”
A blush appeared on Die Yue’s face and she did not break free. She looked at Su Zimo tenderly and nodded gently.
Su Zimo’s heart was about to explode and his blood boiled. He asked hurriedly, “When?”
“Just as you were crying.”
Die Yue pursed her lips and smiled.
Su Zimo blushed with a shy expression. However, he was extremely happy internally.
When he cried, he had yet to tell the story.
Su Zimo said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? You caused me to…”
Die Yue said gently, “We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Even after hearing you talk to me for three days and nights, I don’t think it’s enough.”
Su Zimo’s heart warmed when he heard that. He wrapped his arms around Die Yue and hugged her.
The two of them felt each other’s heartbeat and hugged each other tightly with almost all their might, as though they were afraid that the other party would leave again.
This time round, the two of them knew that no one could separate them.
