Chapter 1062 -846: Your Dowry (Part 2)

This time, the direct confrontation was indeed a bit impulsive, and getting beaten up was something he was mentally prepared for. Actually, when Ye Jiuyou said he was “inflated,” there was some truth to it. Even Piaomiao, that heartless and desireless Demon God, could become tender as water; what can’t Ye Jiuyou do? Especially from Piaomiao’s experience, her emotions are even more intense in her demonic state, and Ye Jiuyou is indeed a demon.

But the truly crucial factor leading to such direct action this time was that the situation didn’t allow for slow mutual cooperation and probing. Ye Jiuyou is not an ordinary little demoness; she is the top Great Demon, with many scheming arrangements hidden in the background. This time, she was just toying with corpses; what about next time? Given her attributes, plotting world destruction is not surprising. Coupled with the White Tiger dispute, opposing sides have already emerged. If not extinguished timely, would we wait for something to really happen and then fall out?

How to extinguish it? Relying on force? Gather the Four Symbols and Piaomiao and the others, even link up with the Sword Emperor, to directly crush Jiuyou?

Perhaps taking advantage of her current weakened transformation, it is indeed possible… but can it be done? Zhao Changhe knows he can’t do it when he sees her solitary silhouette in the dark by her pool, feeling not horror or eerie but rather loneliness; Zhao Changhe realizes he can’t do it.

Maybe his life is always bewildered by appearances… Even Ye Wuming dared to think about it, Ye Jiuyou is just a bit more sinister, what’s there to fear…

Then go for a direct confrontation, even if unsuccessful, at least it can make the relationship straightforward and clear. The most troublesome point about Ye Jiuyou is her constant engagement with the darkness; she never wants to trust anyone, always plotting villainous schemes alone in secret… Once willing to lay it all out, Zhao Changhe truly believes there is nothing that cannot be turned around; this is indeed the best way to resolve the issue.

“If you keep staring at me like that, I really will gouge out your eyes.” Ye Jiuyou’s voice seems to come from the Underworld Netherworld, chillingly cold.

Various evil auras torment Zhao Changhe’s body more frantically than before.

Zhao Changhe lay back with his hands behind his head, even though he was sweating from the pain, he still grinned and said, “Actually, torturing my body isn’t really interesting; you’ve witnessed many of my battles, this kind of thing is child’s play to me. Why don’t you use a steel ball?”

Ye Jiuyou didn’t know what a steel ball was, but she knew that physical torture was of little use to Zhao Changhe. Remembering this guy’s iron bone when he heals by flaying his flesh, there’s truly no physical pain that can compare. Actually, Ye Jiuyou dares to say that Piaomiao would fancy Zhao Changhe, which has a very direct relation to witnessing his displays like these; such a person like Piaomiao greatly values heroes, leading to a good initial impression even before they meet.

Ye Jiuyou herself is not indifferent… She’s used to seeing Destruction and Yin Kui, those rats in the gutter; someone like Zhao Changhe does bring her a different feeling.

Of course, it’s impossible to speak words of praise; instead, she coldly said, “Do you really think my means of torture only reach this level? I can affix the Shadow to your bone marrow, then you’ll understand what it means to…”

Zhao Changhe directly interrupted, “Bone marrow can’t compare to soul savagery. My Soul Chain is already unlocked, go ahead.”

Ye Jiuyou hesitated for a moment, then angrily charged into his Soul Sea.

You really think I’m afraid to puppet you, huh? At the least, I can plant a shadow; when necessary, a snap of my fingers will make you a dog. Are you unaware of these tricks?

As soon as she rushed in, she hesitated again.

This is not a normal Soul Sea, but Zhao Changhe’s created imagination within his Soul Sea, presented to Ye Jiuyou.

What she saw before her was a dark Void, with a slowly rotating sphere ahead. Upon closer inspection, the sphere had continents and oceans, rivers and mountains on the continents, as well as various life forms, houses and bridges.

“Is this… your world?” Ye Jiuyou couldn’t help but ask.

No response came, the sphere gradually became distant and smaller, surrounded by other celestial bodies, each rotating. Ye Jiuyou’s heart stirred slightly, is this… the Seven Luminaries?

With the perspective furthering, an endless Star River appeared before her eyes, countless magnificent nebulae, indescribably beautiful and mysterious, billions of stars like specks of dust.

Trying to find that original sphere again, it was almost impossible, leaving only an extremely tiny point.

With further extending perspective, it vanished entirely.

“Looking at this background, isn’t it your darkness?” Zhao Changhe’s voice echoed.

“…It is.”

“You say without accumulating small steps, one cannot reach a thousand miles… that’s true.” Zhao Changhe said, “But do you think it’s simply the difference between small steps and a thousand miles; do you truly grasp the real gap in your heart? When the quantity gap reaches a certain level, it becomes a qualitative difference. With a mistaken understanding of essence, no matter how much you do, it’s like fishing for a fish from a tree.”

Ye Jiuyou’s mind was shaken by the boundless Cosmic, momentarily speechless.

Suddenly, numerous spheres break away from their trajectories, crazily colliding, endless Star Bursts coming from the front, fragments silently scattering into the Void.

No matter whether there’s life within, it’s complete Silent Annihilation, even without sound.

“Is this the chaos, death, and Silent Annihilation you seek?” Zhao Changhe’s voice rang out again.

In the next moment, all images vanished, becoming Zhao Changhe’s proper sea of consciousness, a small world with mountains, water, sun, moon, and stars. Zhao Changhe’s Divine Soul phantom dwells in the sea, smiling at her: “Is it possible to have an enlightenment detached from the mold of Heavenly Dao?”

Ye Jiuyou took a deep breath, “It is.”

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly, “Then… stop messing with my body; isn’t this more meaningful than anything else, right?”

“…Yes.” At this moment, it wasn’t these things that shook Ye Jiuyou.
