"When I learned that even the Eastern Imperial Clan couldn't avenge my mother."
"I completely understood."
"In this world, everything is fake, only power and authority are real!"
"My power isn't enough, my authority isn't enough."
"So, I need to become stronger, more powerful than anyone else."
"That way, I can personally stand before Saint Li, cripple his cultivation, and break his bones."
"Making him wish for death but unable to die, forever kneeling before my mother's grave in repentance!"
Oriental Aoyue's jade hands clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Of course, not just Saint Li.
Also Saint Li's legal wife, and all those involved, must pay the price!
Seeing Oriental Aoyue's emotions fluctuate.
Jun Xiaoyao also sighed slightly.
She, a woman, had indeed endured far too much.
It made one's heart ache.
"Alright, Aoyue, you don't need to worry, I will be with you."
Jun Xiaoyao stroked Oriental Aoyue's beautiful back, comforting her.
After learning Saint Li's identity.
Jun Xiaoyao's expression didn't change much.
He wasn't intimidated by Saint Li's astonishing background.
At most, he was just a little surprised.
For him, no person or force could intimidate him.
Even the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse couldn't do it.
Could Saint Li be even more terrifying than the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
"Xiaoyao, this is my revenge goal, it has nothing to do with you."
Oriental Aoyue didn't want to drag Jun Xiaoyao into this muddy water.
Although in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes, Saint Li was nothing to be wary of.
But in Oriental Aoyue's eyes.
This was not a simple character.
He was the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.
Even though Jun Xiaoyao was backed by the Yun Clan Emperor Clan and didn't fear the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.
It wasn't that easy to directly eliminate a Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion.
"Aoyue, are you looking down on me, or treating me as an outsider?"
"I just said that I would accompany you on your path of revenge, and now you want to cast me aside?"
Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
"It's not like that, absolutely not."
Oriental Aoyue shook her head, fearing that Jun Xiaoyao would misunderstand her intentions.
She was just afraid of causing trouble for Jun Xiaoyao.
Looking at Oriental Aoyue, who was originally cold and elegant as frost, turning into a soft girl.
Jun Xiaoyao felt a bit helpless.
Love really does change a woman's personality.
"Alright, don't be so independent, although in the minds of women in your Eastern Imperial Clan, men should be virtuous and manage the household."
"But I, how should I put it, should still have some ability to help you."
Jun Xiaoyao teased slightly.
Oriental Aoyue's lips curved into an arc.
She knew Jun Xiaoyao wanted to ease her emotions.
Not letting her heart be constantly occupied by negative emotions.
Such a perfect male god, who is domineering when he should be, gentle when he should be, and flawless in appearance and personality.
Would any woman truly be able to resist him?
Even a powerful woman like Oriental Aoyue had all her feelings transformed into gentle tenderness.
"Xiaoyao, why are you so good to me? It's been like this from the beginning, even though we weren't close back then…"
Oriental Aoyue pressed her cheek against Jun Xiaoyao's chest, listening to his heartbeat.
In front of Jun Xiaoyao, she seemed to transform from a cold and elegant queen into a soft and pampered little wife.
Jun Xiaoyao was silent, then smiled: "I said we had a past life connection, and you still didn't believe it."
"Is that so? Alright, then I believe it now."
Oriental Aoyue's lips revealed a sweet smile like a kitten.
But Jun Xiaoyao lowered his gaze slightly.
He could only say that for now.
If he directly told the truth, that she was one of Jiang Shengyi's four souls.
That Jun Xiaoyao was only so good to her because he wanted Jiang Shengyi to return.
He was afraid Oriental Aoyue would completely turn evil.
Then no one would be able to save her; she would become a true Demonic Lord of destruction, casting aside all emotions.
Although she would know eventually.
However, he would deal with that when the time came.
Jun Xiaoyao was even a bit confused himself now.
What he cared about, was it Oriental Aoyue, or one of Jiang Shengyi's four souls?
It felt like there was no difference, yet it also felt like a huge difference.
Moreover, if Jiang Shengyi was to return, would Oriental Aoyue have to be sacrificed?
No, perhaps it wasn't a sacrifice, but merely a Fusion of souls.
Just like Yuan Che, Ling Yuan, and Heavenly Maiden Yuan.
However, the more Jun Xiaoyao thought about it, the more he felt a headache coming on.
It truly was an entangled mess.
Jun Xiaoyao temporarily cleared his mind.
Now, the only thing he could do for Oriental Aoyue.
Was to try and find a way to help her deal with Saint Li of the Heavenly Emperor Pavilion and resolve her inner turmoil.
This Saint Li was not like the peers Jun Xiaoyao had encountered before, who could be easily killed with a flick of his hand.
If he truly had to deal with him, he would need to think and plan carefully.
"Alright, that's enough. It seems we've forgotten the purpose of our visit, haven't we?"
Looking at Oriental Aoyue, who was still nestled in his arms like a lazy kitten, Jun Xiaoyao chuckled softly.
They had come for the demon monarch's sword.
But it felt like they had already spent a lot of time here.
"Xiaoyao, how I wish this moment could last forever."
As a strong, independent woman.
Oriental Aoyue felt a trace of dependence for the first time in her heart, wanting to cling to Jun Xiaoyao's embrace.
"Don't worry, there will be plenty of time later." Jun Xiaoyao smiled.
"Is that so?" Oriental Aoyue murmured.
"Of course." Jun Xiaoyao said.
Although Oriental Aoyue felt attached, she didn't hesitate too much.
After all, there was still important business to attend to.
"Let's get out of this Seven Deadly Sins Illusion Realm first. I'm afraid some people have already left." Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Okay." Oriental Aoyue said.
Immediately, Jun Xiaoyao once again brought out the Seven Sins Seed.
He let the Seven Sins Seed absorb the surrounding Seven Sins Power while moving forward.
"This is…"
Oriental Aoyue looked at the Seven Sins Seed.
"It's something I discovered by accident. This thing can absorb Seven Sins Power, thereby affecting the Seven Deadly Sins Illusion Realm." Jun Xiaoyao said.
He couldn't possibly say that he got this from a sign-in.
Although his relationship with Oriental Aoyue was already very close.
There were some secrets that Jun Xiaoyao would never reveal to anyone.
Not even to the closest people.
"No wonder you broke into my illusion realm back then. It seems it was also because of this thing." Oriental Aoyue said.
"That's natural."
"However, I also have to thank this thing, otherwise…"
Although Oriental Aoyue's beautiful face was once again covered by a veil, a blush was faintly visible.
Although their relationship was already somewhat ambiguous before.
There was always a thin veil between them.
But in this illusion realm, her most vulnerable and hurt side was discovered by Jun Xiaoyao.
Their relationship then underwent a substantive Breakthrough and change.
So, she truly had to thank the Seven Sins Seed.
Jun Xiaoyao just smiled faintly; they were finally about to leave the Seven Deadly Sins Illusion Realm.
