Chapter 692: 692 Chapter: Good and Evil

Watching Zhong Mingxin’s fidgety appearance, Zhong Niangyao took a step forward, pushed open the door, and walked in, "Mom, I’m back."

The gathering among the major clans had ended.

Baili Lele had also attended this gathering. Although she achieved good results, she had just recovered from a serious illness and had expended too much energy, falling sick again from being too weak after returning home. She had spent the past few days resting in her room.

After resting, Baili Lele’s health had significantly improved, and she was now able to sit by the window and read.

Suddenly hearing the sound of the door opening, followed by her daughter’s voice, Baili Lele was delighted. She quickly put down her book, stood up, and saw Zhong Niangyao walking in.

A smile spread across her face as she prepared to greet her. However, upon seeing the familiar figure not far behind Zhong Niangyao, her smile froze, and she stood there, dazed, unable to recover for a long time.

Zhong Mingxin, who had initially been somewhat fearful in his heart, felt all his unease vanish in an instant upon seeing that long-yearned-for figure. He stood there, with nothing in his eyes or heart but Baili Lele.

Beside him, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but touch her nose, then she directly pushed Zhong Mingxin in.

"Mom, I’ve found Dad and brought him back, you two should have a good talk! I won’t disturb you."

After speaking, she took Lu Yichen’s hand and left the room. Of course, she didn’t forget to thoughtfully close the door behind her.

Without caring what sparks might fly between Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele, Zhong Niangyao and Lu Yichen went to the garden for a walk.

"Hehe, seeing the look on Zhong Mingxin’s face is quite comical!" Zhong Niangyao said, covering her mouth as she laughed, "Even though he’s not young, he acts like a lovesick young boy."

Lu Yichen glanced at Zhong Niangyao beside him and smiled, "For Zhong Mingxin, it’s been a whole ten years since he and Baili Lele have seen each other. For Baili Lele, it’s been more than twenty years. Regardless of who it is, that’s a large gap. Seeing each other suddenly would naturally make them nervous."

Zhong Niangyao nodded, "In the past, it was Zhong Mingxin who was several years older than Baili Lele. Now the situation has reversed."

"No matter the age, they probably won’t mind," Lu Yichen said solemnly, "Having been separated for so many years and now being able to reunite, they should cherish their time together more than anyone."

Zhong Niangyao agreed and then, as if thinking of something, suddenly covered her mouth and giggled.

Seeing the expression on Zhong Niangyao’s face, Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow, "Thinking of something funny?"

Zhong Niangyao shook her head, holding back her laughter, and said, "Speaking of age, I suddenly remembered something. Yichen, if we really calculate it, you don’t know by how many years you are older than me. Millions of years at least! By that measure, wouldn’t this be a case of an old cow eating tender grass!"

Emperor Yichen, Lord of Nine Heavens, eternal as the universe itself. He had already existed from the beginning of creation.

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Lu Yichen was not angry. After ruffling Zhong Niangyao’s hair, his tone filled with infinite indulgence, "It’s not that I was born too early, but I spent too much time finding you."

Zhong Niangyao’s lips curled into a sweet smile, then she blinked and spoke with a smile, "You sure know how to talk. Why haven’t I seen you so eloquent before?"

"Whatever kind of sweet nothings you want to hear, that’s what I’ll say in the future."

Lu Yichen embraced Zhong Niangyao tightly, his voice carrying an indescribable significance, "As long as you’re willing to stay by my side, whatever you want, I can give you. Even if it’s my life, I will give it to you."

Considering how tragic the past events had been, he dared not think back, nor could he imagine what he would do if it happened again—he might go mad.

Sensing the repressed emotions emanating from Lu Yichen, a flicker of emotion crossed Zhong Niangyao’s eyes; she reached out and gently patted Lu Yichen’s back, "What are you babbling about! Why would I leave you? We had promised to always be together, remember?"

Doubting, yet perhaps believing, Lu Yichen’s deep voice echoed, "Fine, forever together."

Perhaps sensing the deep insecurity within Lu Yichen, Zhong Niangyao quietly snuggled against him, without any struggle.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Zhong Niangyao slowly emerged from Lu Yichen’s embrace, then looked up at him and suddenly asked, "Yichen, there’s something I’ve never understood—where does the Evil Qi in you come from?"

Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s inquiry, a mysterious glint flashed across Lu Yichen’s eyes, although his face remained unchanged, "Yaoyao, you should know very well that I was born with the universe."

Zhong Niangyao quietly nodded, not saying anything.

Lu Yichen continued, "The sun and the moon, the universe, everything that exists was born alongside it. Good and evil are the same, always existing side by side. Where there is righteousness, there will be evil, and it’s unavoidable. It’s the shadow cast by sunlight, something that cannot disappear."

"From the beginning of time, the creation and succession of stars have led to the emergence of good and evil in this world. Being born alongside the universe, I embody both. Inside of me, Divine Power and Evil Qi exist simultaneously. It’s just that Evil Qi, I hardly ever use it."

Zhong Niangyao frowned, "According to what you said, your Evil Qi should have always been suppressed. Then why is it appearing now?"

"Yaoyao," Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Niangyao and spoke seriously, "No matter the reason, now my Divine Power and Evil Qi are able to coexist harmoniously and function at their best, that’s the perfect state, isn’t it?"

"Yichen," Zhong Niangyao’s gaze fixed intensely on Lu Yichen, "is there something you’re hiding from me? Remember, you once promised me, you’d never lie to me."

"I won’t lie to you."

Lu Yichen gently stroked Zhong Niangyao’s cheek, speaking softly, "But there are some things that you do not need to know now. When the time comes, I’ll tell you everything."

Zhong Niangyao’s eyes reflected her skepticism, "Are you telling the truth? Somehow, I find it hard to
