Perfect World

Chapter 753: Chapter 753: The Promise
 

(Yue Chan had appeared at the Heavenly Ladder before; corrections. Seems like I really shouldn’t stay up late, prone to mistakes.)

“Let go.” Yue Chan’s icy beauty was even more striking with one hand held, she rebuked Shi Hao, telling him to release her.

If it were someone else, they might become enchanted with her graceful demeanor, finding it hard to stay calm in the presence of a Fairy shrouded in icy skin, jade bones, and holy radiance, even feeling ashamed of their own unworthiness.

Clearly, Shi Hao was not one of those, his gaze pure, intently observing Yue Chan, he said: “I’m serious, wife, have you forgotten the past where we took our wedding vows in the Lower Realm?”

The term “wife” made Yue Chan’s elegant brow twitch, a forehead imprint emerging, a dazzling light blossoming, she felt this guy was beyond help, his natural familiarity made one feel utterly powerless.

Yue Chan quickly withdrew her hand, knowing that her own aura was unlikely to subdue him, it wouldn’t shame him but only encourage him to be more outrageous.

However, Shi Hao’s grip was firm, unwilling to let go, his eyes sparkled as he faced her.

“I saved you, but it wasn’t to let you take liberties with me.” Yue Chan spoke serenely, not flustered at all, like a blue lotus rising from water, untouched by the mundane.

“How would I dare, this is true emotion showing.” Shi Hao had an expression full of sincerity, stubbornly holding on without letting go.

Yue Chan tried to pull away again, but still couldn’t shake him off, her whole jade-like arm luminous and glowing, but still firmly held by Shi Hao, unable to break free.

“Although there’s been a misunderstanding between us, you saved me today, and I could see your intentions, you ultimately can’t let me go.” Clearly, Shi Hao’s thick-skinned attitude thickened by another inch as he rambled on.

However, he soon became dissatisfied, saying: “Yue Chan, what do you mean by this? I show you my true feelings, and you actually get goosebumps? That really hurts my heart!”

“Stop being cheesy!” Yue Chan bluntly rejected, knowing that against this shameless fellow, she must not give him any room to glow.

Unfortunately, no matter how she interwove her Bone Text, she was still unable to shake off Shi Hao, because the mysterious power he had recently cultivated after consuming the Bodhi Fruit was at work, dissolving the characters into nothingness.

“Wife, have you forgotten the affection of old?” Shi Hao earnestly inquired.

Hearing this address, Yue Chan really wanted to beat him up, this was the first time she felt that this guy was too much of a rascal, and somewhat exasperating.

“Sometimes I feel like I don’t know you.” She sighed lightly.

She had once seen Shi Hao’s impassioned, world-defying demeanor when he fought the Seven Gods, knowing he faced certain death yet still went to the rendezvous carrying what kind of tragic resolve? She had known when he swallowed up mountains and rivers as the Stone Emperor, severing the foundations of schools like the Heaven Mending Pavilion, Western Sect, Immortal Mountain one after another.

At that time, he truly possessed an imposing air, reigning supreme over the world, looking down with contempt on all contenders, a bona fide young Supreme.

Only, the moment this fellow had some downtime, he absolutely infuriates humans and ghosts alike, his heroic bearing only on display when there’s an urgent need to turn the tide.

Shi Hao shook his head and said: “Why should one live so tiredly in a single lifetime, Yue Chan you’re overthinking it.”

Her words sounded casual, but Yue Chan could understand, and also knew, he was ultimately still that person from the Lower Realm who once stirred up boundless storm clouds.

“Let the misunderstanding between you and me pass.” Yue Chan spoke, standing like a Divine Lotus, Yingying and exuding a transcendental light.

“With the misunderstanding cleared, we should naturally celebrate our reunion.” Shi Hao laughed and opened his arms, directly going for a heartfelt embrace.

Yue Chan’s forehead imprint emerged again, slightly trembling, and blazing brightly, casting a blinding light!

“Hey, what’s this for?” Shi Hao hurriedly contained his posture.

“`plaintext

Yue Chan gave him a glare and said softly, “You have more charm and show yourself better when you’re serious than when you’re joking around.”

“Then I’ll be more mindful, and from now on I shall exhibit a hero’s unmatched spirit!” Shi Hao proclaimed shamelessly, and then expressed his intentions with actions, sweeping her into his arms and striding outside.

“You jerk!” Yue Chan could no longer maintain her composure, feeling like a Fairy fallen from grace to the mortal world, quite embarrassed and annoyed, realizing that whatever she said to this guy would be ineffective.

“Aren’t I just seriously playing my part?” Shi Hao responded, then stopped and said, “We’ve already held the wedding ceremony, do you still plan to marry someone else?”

“All right, let’s talk about something important,” Yue Chan said, halting her steps.

Although Shi Hao was thick-skinned, he wasn’t shamelessly clinging on, so upon hearing her words, he released her and walked beside her.

“What have you done and where have you been since you came to the higher realms?” Yue Chan asked.

Shi Hao didn’t hide anything, telling her all he could.

Yue Chan was shocked, so desolate was actually him? She was truly staggered and speechless for a long while!

“I suppose it won’t be long before your identity is revealed; I don’t think the Celestials Clan will keep it a secret for much longer,” she murmured.

Yue Chan was also forthright, explaining her own situation. She was avoiding her main body, and judging from the current circumstances, she was no match for her main body and was evading a killing calamity.

“With me here, that’s not a problem. We will capture her alive in the future!” Shi Hao declared confidently and forcefully.

“You must not underestimate her,” Yue Chan shook her head, then pointed to her forehead, saying, “Once her Divine Sense fully undergoes nirvana and revives, it will be hard to contend with.”

Shi Hao wanted to ask for details, but Yue Chan simply stated that this was an innate ability.

The two talked for a long time, understanding each other’s experiences in the higher realms.

“Both of us are avoiding powerful enemies and can’t show our true selves, and both come from the Lower Realm. Don’t you think that makes us quite fated?” Shi Hao chuckled.

Yue Chan also felt moved, indeed sensing a shared empathy.

“Can you be serious for once? Being heroic suits you much better than this,” Yue Chan said.

“Okay, definitely!” Shi Hao replied, and then added, asking, “We did indeed get married, so are we pretending it never happened?”

Yue Chan placed a hand on her forehead, truly defeated by him. Her skin was luminous and white, flowing with character and treasure light to suppress her irritation.

“If you come out on top during the Hundred Rivers Converge to the Sea and the Three Thousand States talent battle, then I will admit, we were married before,” Yue Chan finally said.

“Is it that simple?” Shi Hao asked.

“Can you stop boasting?!” Yue Chan couldn’t bear him any longer, directly retorting.

“Who am I? I am destined to rise in the future, to vanquish the Destroyer Heavenly Nation, pacify the Netherworld, eradicate the Immortal Hall, venture into the vast No-Man’s Land, and comprehend the secrets and origins of the most supreme existence. Is there anything that can stump me?!” Shi Hao boasted.

“The world is much bigger than you imagine,” Yue Chan sighed softly, pointing to the sky, and then said, “Even the Immortal Ancient has become a thing of the past, buried by forces unknown!”

Shi Hao was very interested in this and inquired further, but unfortunately, Yue Chan knew only bits and pieces.

“`

Both of them chatted some more, discussing the preparations for the war across the Three Thousand States as well as various contingencies. Yue Chan felt regretful that she had not yet found the flame she was seeking.

“What kind of flame do you desire? To become divine, to ignite oneself?” Shi Hao inquired.

“I can borrow the power of the moon, resonate with it, and hope to find a Divine Fire related to it,” Yue Chan said.

Shi Hao shook his head and said, “That’s a pity. Otherwise, I know of a clump of Divine Fire on the grasslands of Fire Province, blue-green as the sky, mysterious and powerful. I could only flee when I saw it.”

“What did you just say?” Yue Chan was surprised, and then she widened her eyes, looking at him and urgently asking questions that did not match her usual otherworldly and tranquil temperament.

Shi Hao briefly described it, revealing the various characteristics of that blue-green fire.

“Green Moon Flame!” Yue Chan exclaimed, uttering these three words.

“Are you sure?” Shi Hao was astonished.

“If your description is not mistaken, it should be it—the blue-green as the sky is actually a giant green moon, filling the entire sky!” said Yue Chan.

Shi Hao was stunned and after some thought, it indeed seemed to be the case.

He didn’t expect that a casual mention would turn out to be the very thing Yue Chan needed most, the rare treasure fire.

“Is it very special, of high value?” Shi Hao asked.

Yue Chan nodded solemnly and said, “It’s on the same level as the Red Heaven Fire and Paradise Flame, among the strongest Divine Fires in the world, beyond compare. If one could obtain it, one could achieve perfect evolution, and the future achievements would be limitless.”

“They’re all fire, yet why is there such a big difference?” Shi Hao muttered to himself.

At the same time, he also thought of the even more mysterious fire that appeared along with the nine pieces of dragon bone iron and the Ancient Bronze Coffin—what could be its origin?

“Rare treasure fires are special because they have extraordinary and astonishing origins,” Yue Chan explained.

Shi Hao asked, “Do they have such considerations and origins?”

“Yes, that is precisely why they are considered precious and invaluable,” Yue Chan said with a serious expression.

Shi Hao, now intrigued, asked her to elaborate.

“Because they come from the Immortal Ancient Era, that much is almost universally acknowledged,” Yue Chan stated.

“What?!” Shi Hao exclaimed in shock.

Yue Chan spoke gravely, seriously explaining that the most valuable of these treasure fires are suspected to have been left after the fall of True Immortals, their bodies burned to ash, leaving behind only a clump of fire.

“This…impossible, right?!” Shi Hao was truly astonished.

“This is only conjecture, not yet confirmed, but some truth has been unearthed when excavating parts of Ancient Immortal Ruins,” Yue Chan said.

Shi Hao was dumbfounded, could the origins of a few rare treasure fires really be so?

“For example, the Red Heaven Fire, it is rumored to likely be the legacy of the Red Heaven Master who shook the Immortal Ancient Era with his might,” Yue Chan explained.

Shi Hao’s heart trembled with the enormity of its origin.

“And the Green Moon Flame is said to have been left by a female True Immortal named Green Moon, whose status could contend with that of the Red Heaven Master,” Yue Chan further explained.

These revelations deeply impacted Shi Hao—such terrifying secrets!

However, these could not be definitely confirmed, they were merely interpreted from things unearthed underground and from the secrets of the Immortal Ancient realm, and were mostly speculative.

“The Red Heaven Master fell, leaving behind fire that was not named Immortal Fire, and then what about the Chaotic Flame of the world and those named after immortals?” Shi Hao asked.

“Immortal Fire and Chaotic Flame are not left after the death of True Immortals; they are mysterious and hard to clarify,” Yue Chan replied.

Shi Hao nodded, and finally, he left the place together with Yue Chan. They agreed to go together to collect the Green Moon Flame in a few days.

“Can it really be subdued?” Shi Hao felt it couldn’t be tamed at all.

“Predecessors have experience; it’s not about force. Secret Techniques have been developed, and I will tell you when the time comes,” Yue Chan said.

As they left the lake and passed through various Arrays, people who saw them walking side by side were amazed as they emerged.

“Qing Yi, you went to the Immortal Pond, he…”

The person could hardly believe it because Shi Hao’s hair also had droplets of water, carrying the aura of the Immortal Pond, which shocked him. Was this… shared bathing?

“Today is an even-numbered day, and as a man, you dare to intrude upon forbidden grounds, to be together with Qing Yi?” Someone chided them; they were members of the enforcement squad, and they were deeply affected upon witnessing this scene.

“What are you shouting about, she is my wife!” Shi Hao rebuffed them loudly, and he directly hugged Yue Chan’s slender waist, standing together and facing everyone.

“Let go!” Yue Chan’s cheeks flew with blush; this guy was too indelicate.

“I recognize you, aren’t you that bastard who takes on jobs at the academy’s gate?” someone exclaimed.

“What, that guy from the little broken mountain gate? He actually dared to come here and flirt with the beauty from the Celestial Immortal Academy’s renowned beauty list, unforgivable!” Several people became furious.

Obviously, they also knew the severity and called for reinforcements.

“I’ll come find you in a few days,” Shi Hao told Yue Chan, then holding the Black Metal Badge, he turned into a streak of light, disappearing from there.

There was great turmoil in the Celestial Immortal Academy; despite the late night, it still caused quite a stir as many students rushed over.

“This is intolerable, that notorious Dao inheritence, is it really coming back? And, he even dared to covet Qing Yi’s beauty!”

The crowd was agitated, eager to immediately crusade against the Supreme Dao Ground.

All this was now unrelated to Shi Hao, leaving only Yue Chan grinding her teeth in frustration.

Inside the decrepit mountain gate, Qi Daolin was seated in meditation.

“Daolord, I want to ask, do you know about the nine dragons and the Ancient Bronze Coffin?” After returning, Shi Hao’s head was full of Divine Fires, and in a few days, he was to help Yue Chan to collect the Green Moon Flame, but he was even more concerned about the mysterious treasure fire at the Bronze Coffin.

Upon hearing this, Qi Daolin immediately stood up with a start, unable to maintain his composure! (To be continued.
