Chapter 419: Chapter 069 The Way Out!

"Ning’er, whatever you wish to do, your husband will agree! I’d spare nothing, no one shall stand in our way! Even if saints or gods target you, I’ll fight them all!"

Zhou Yan suddenly felt worried, afraid. Afraid that the Jade beauty in his arms would suddenly leave, suddenly disappear. So, he held Ning’er tight.

"Husband, thank you. But just like the trials you faced, I too must confront them.

Now, your Emperor Qi Sword Body is completely destroyed, and I have opened the seals of my past life, effectively living this life in vain, rendering all effort to ashes. My Life Soul has also been lost to the Netherworld Life and Death Illusion Realm, causing Ping’er’s death...

Now, all I want... all I want is to fulfill that prior promise, to superficially agree to marry Ji Wu, and then, using that day’s opportunity, to fully awaken and kill Ji Wu and his backing saints to eliminate all your life’s enemies."

Ning’er revealed her plans, hiding nothing from Zhou Yan.

"Ning’er, don’t worry. What does it matter if there are Saints? What does it matter if there are gods, I won’t let you be wronged! Before, I hadn’t hardened my heart to cultivate, continually failing to find where my heart belongs. Now that I’ve found it, I will break all barriers, shock the corners of Heaven and Earth, and make eight directions come to celebrate our union!

Not only this, but I am also going to the Netherworld Life and Death Illusion Realm, to slay all the Evil Spirits from the Netherworld Palace that have brought you pain, retrieve your Life Soul, and rescue Ping’er!

Rest assured, many seek Zhou Yan’s life, but none can succeed. Everyone plotting against us, trying to trap and hurt you, will face the most bitter retaliation!"

Zhou Yan was filled with confidence, or rather, he didn’t want Ning’er to have the slightest worry about him.

"Husband... you live, not just for yourself, but also for your child. And I, am fated to a life of calamities and disasters brought by my beauty.

Now that I’ve reopened the seals of my past life, though quickly gaining strength, I have no way out. Since I’m fated to leave, let me do so with a smile in the underworld.

My love will forever accompany you like a sincere curse through life after life. With every breath of Spiritual Energy and every perception of the Heavenly Dao, you will know that I am always with you..."

"Ning’er, don’t you trust me? I am far stronger than you think. My strength is not in realm or ability, but in conviction!

How vast the conviction, so vast the journey. My conviction transcends everything in Heaven and Earth, aiming towards the ancient Primordial, transcending planes.

Ning’er, trust in me, let things take their natural course, and I will handle everything. I want you to be a fine lady, a perfect bride, waiting for me to come and marry you.

Outside, you can still call me Zhou Yan and act indifferent towards me. I don’t mind, and I don’t care, because as long as it makes things a bit easier for you, I’m willing to bear any hardship!

In the past life, I died without knowing why, in such a pitiful way. But in this life, since I owe it to you, I will give everything for you, ensuring every moment brings you happiness."

Zhou Yan’s words, from the depths of his heart, finally silenced Ning’er.

Ning’er tightly embraced Zhou Yan, then suddenly kissed him passionately.

Zhou Yan kissed her back naturally.

A kiss bloomed like a flower.

A kiss wasted away the heavens.

After a long while, their lips parted.

A beautiful flush appeared on Ning’er’s somewhat pale face, while Zhou Yan felt joyful in body and spirit, his thoughts clear, his once frail soul seeming to transform and swell.

At that moment, all the pressure in his heart dissipated, the shackles on his body and mind felt as though they were unlocked, his thoughts flowing smoothly in one breath, his realm swiftly transitioning into Sword Void, making notable progress.

Zhou Yan experienced such transformation, and Ning’er greatly benefited as well, her mental turmoil resolved.

Thus, although Ning’er was still not in good condition, her mental state finally stabilized.

"Ning’er, when we get outside, just wait for me. I will marry you in a ceremony under the gaze of thousands. If I can’t conquer Ji Wu, if I can’t overcome this challenge, even if you help me this time, I still won’t get far! Moreover, I want to accomplish all this alone, using only the Thunderflame Sword Body!"

Zhou Yan softly spoke.

"Mm, Ning’er has come to terms, husband, I will wait for you! In the past life, this life, and for all lives to come, as long as there’s a thread of my Ghost, I will continue to wait for you, to be your bride alone."

Ning’er, too, was moved, her gaze slightly intoxicated, within which lay the sheen of happiness and the trace of tears.

"Ning’er."

Zhou Yan gazed at Ning’er, his smile long absent now gracing his face.

It was the first heart-easing smile he had shown in a long time, and beneath that smile, the icy beauty of Ning’er’s face also bore a captivating smile.

The two exchanged smiles.

"Hahaha——"

Suddenly, Zhou Yan, feeling spiritually fulfilled, broke into loud laughter.

His voice resonated through Heaven and Earth, echoing in the Divine Array.

Engrossed in bitter cultivation, Xiong Ba opened his eyes, revealing a relieved expression, but muttered, "Damn, a pair of lovebirds."

Though he cursed, his eyes reddened, nearly bringing him to tears.

"Master, I think, you can rest peacefully now. So, I’ll guard for ten years."

Xiong Ba murmured to himself, gave one last helpless shake of his head at Zhou Yan and Ning’er, then resumed setting the Array to isolate himself, no longer looking at the couple.
