2498 To Live and Die Together
Yun Qing Yang’s expression darkened when he heard Ke’er’s words. Back then, he had gone to a lot of trouble to arrange the fate of this woman’s reincarnation and placed her in this remote mundane realm. He had done it so she would not come in contact with her family so soon, giving him more time to approach her. Before she regained her memories, he had planned to build a relations.h.i.+p with her, win her over, conquer her… He really did not expect his younger cousin would marry another man and even give birth to a child.
Vexed, Yun Qing Yang thought to himself, ‘Sh*t! If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have left all those years ago!’ Many years ago, he had to leave the mundane realm after arranging for his cousin to be reincarnated here to attend to some matter. It had taken him many years before he returned. Naturally, those years were not long to him. Since he had found someone to keep an eye on Ke’er, he felt at ease leaving her in this mundane realm. Who knew the person he had entrusted to keep an eye on his cousin had died and his cousin had been won over by another man when he returned? He could not accept this.
“Cousin, you should know that uncle and aunt won’t allow you to be with this mortal vermin. If they were here today, they would kill him as soon as they find out he has defiled you,” Yun Qing Yang said in a deep voice.
Ke’er said coldly, “That’s the Xia family’s business, and it’s none of your business!”
“Cousin, have you forgotten that my mother is your aunt. She’s a member of the Xia family as well! As her son, I’m considered a half-member of the Xia family. Therefore, I can’t s.h.i.+rk my responsibility when it comes to the Xia family!” Yun Qing Yang said as he stared at Duan Ling Tian with killing intent. He struggled to suppress the urge to tear Duan Ling Tian into pieces.
“Don’t make yourself sound so n.o.ble!” Ke’er scoffed. “Do you dare say you have no selfish motives behind your actions? Yun Qing Yan, I advise you to give up and not waste any more time on me… Whether it’s in my past life or my current life, I’m not interested in you nor will I ever be your Cultivation Partner. The marriage agreement between us in my past life had been destroyed along with my body in my past life!” Ke’er said determinedly.
Yun Qing Yan’s expression turned unsightly immediately. “We’ll put aside the matter regarding our marriage agreement for now, but you must return with me today! Your parents have asked me many times about your reincarnation. They care about you a lot.”
“What a joke!” Ke’er laughed scornfully when she heard Yun Qing Yang’s words. She looked at him pointedly and said, “If you truly care about my parents’ feelings, you wouldn’t have placed me in this remote mundane realm. If I’m not mistaken, you didn’t tell them that I was reincarnated in this mundane realm, right?” When she saw the change in Yun Qing Yan’s expression, she scoffed again. “It seems like I’m right.”
After a moment, the frown disappeared from Yun Qing Yang’s face. “So what? No matter what, you have to follow me back today!”
“She’s my wife! Who are you to bring her back with you?!” Duan Ling Tian who had remained silent thus far could not help but speak up when he heard Yun Qing Yang said he intended on bringing Ke’er away. His expression soured as well In the past, he was helpless when Ke’er was taken away by Gan Ru Yan in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Today, it seemed like history was about to repeat itself. This time, he would not sit back and do nothing. He had promised Ke’er that they would not part again as long as he still had one lingering breath in him.
“Who am I?” Yun Qing Yang remained calm when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. A sneer appeared on his face before he said mockingly, “I’m someone who’s invincible in front of someone like you. I don’t even have to lift a finger to kill you or make you wish for death. I can do that with just a thought!” His eyes flashed coldly when he spoke.
In the next moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions rang in the air as the void around Duan Ling Tian that had just mended itself crumbled again.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shortly after, an extremely powerful force hit Duan Ling Tian, dispersing the energy he had mobilized through his 99 Saint Veins. The force that hit him seemed to be just the right amount. He had no way to mobilize his energy faced with this sweeping force nor did he have any way to cast his techniques. It seemed like he had been reduced to a puppet, powerless to resist the evil force that a.s.saulted him. He kept spitting out mouthful after mouthful of blood, causing his aura to weaken. He could not even maintain his position in the air, and he fell with a crash on the peak of a mountain. He was further weakened from this.
“Yun! Qing! Yan!” Ke’er said through clenched teeth when she saw this. Her body trembled with rage and no warmth could be seen on her peerlessly beautiful face at this moment. Her eyes were filled with killing intent when she stared at Yun Qing Yang. However, pain flashed in her eyes when she looked at Duan Ling Tian.
Ke’er could not move because Yun Qing Yang had bound her so she could not act when he attacked Duan Ling Tian.
Yun Qing Yang did not even move a muscle when he bound Ke’er and attacked Duan Ling Tian. It was one thing for him to be able to deal with Duan Ling Tian so effortlessly. However, his strength was made evident when he could even act on Ke’er whose strength was on par with a Golden Celestial from the Devata Realms at the same time.
Yun Qing Yang did not bother with Ke’er’s cries of anger. He descended from the sky on the mountain peak and arrived before Duan Ling Tian who was lying on the ground, heavily injured. He squatted down as Duan Ling Tian lifted his head with great difficulty to look at him. He said mockingly, “Didn’t you ask who am I to take your wife away? Are you going to ask the same question again? How dare a vermin like you scream and shout before me? Seeking death!”
Duan Ling Tian’s heavy injuries rendered him immobile. He only lay on the ground silently. However, when he heard Yun Qing Yan’s words, he gritted his teeth and spoke with great difficulty in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “You better kill me today, Yun Qing Yang. Otherwise, you’ll regret it in the future. Mark my words.”
Smack!
Yun Qing Yang slapped Duan Ling Tian as soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking. He said scornfully, “You dare boast about making me regret this in the future if I let you live, you sc.u.m? Fine. If you wish to die, I’ll fulfill your wis.h.!.+”
Yun Qing Yang had no qualms about killing Duan Ling Tian. If his cousin did not interfere earlier, he would have already killed Duan Ling Tian. How dare this vermin defile his cousin and even have a child with her? He could not tolerate this! He wanted to tear this man into thousands of pieces.
“Yun Qing Yan!” Ke’er cried out just as Yun Qing Yang was about to kill Duan Ling Tian. “If you kill Brother Tian, I’ll end my life immediately to follow him!”
Yun Qing Yang’s hand came to a stop when he heard Ke’er’s words. His expression was extremely grim. His anger began to boil again as he said, “Cousin, you’re of n.o.ble birth, and yet, you’re willing to discard your life for this mortal? Is he worth it?!”
His cousin had been a beauty with a cold character in her past life. She would keep him at arm’s length no matter what he did. Even when they had a marriage agreement, she still did not submit to him. To think she was willing to discard her life for man after she had been reincarnated.
Yun Qing Yang’s heart was filled with jealousy. Why? Why would the woman who remained out of his reach even though he went through great pains to pursue her willingly discard her life for another man? She would not even give him a chance. If this man was superior to him, he might have been able to accept it. However, this man was just a mortal vermin in this mundane realm. He did not even have to lift a finger to kill this man! He really felt unresigned.
“He’s the man I, Xia Ning Xue, have chosen… No matter how many times I’m reincarnated, I’ll live and die together with him! If he lives, I live; if he dies, I die!” Ke’er said coldly, causing the temperature in the surroundings to drop even further.
