n1637 Yu Huang: Can’t Change

nWhen they found out that Yu Huang was about to become the Creator and be admired by the world, the first reaction of the professors present was envy, indignation, and unwillingness.

nYu Huang was a little girl who had only awakened her beast form at the age of 18. How many years had it been since she embarked onto the cultivation path?

nOn what basis could she become a lofty and respected Creator?

nWhen they heard Song Ji’s question, they realized that becoming a Creator wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

nTaixu’s fingers trembled slightly. Terrified and uneasy, Taixu tilted his head and asked Yu Huang, “Is what Mentor just said true?”

nYu Huang didn’t expect Prime Emperor Divine Miracle to figure out the situation so quickly. After all, he had lived for nearly 20,000 years. She could hide many things from Prime Emperor Taixu, Professor Tang Xiaoxiao, and the others, but she couldn’t hide them from Song Ji.

n“Mentor is right. After becoming a Creator, I should bear the heavy responsibility of guarding the three thousand worlds…” Yu Huang was halfway through her sentence when a black shadow suddenly appeared from the corner of her eye. She paused and looked up at the entrance of the canteen. She saw Sheng Xiao, who was wearing a black coat, and Eternal, who was still panting.

nWhen Yu Huang looked past everyone and at Sheng Xiao, she could no longer say the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

nSheng Xiao stared at Yu Huang with a deep and sorrowful gaze.

nNoticing Yu Huang’s reaction, Song Ji and the others turned around and looked out of the door. When they saw Sheng Xiao, who had suddenly returned to the inner academy, they exchanged looks and left the canteen.

nEternal hesitated for a moment before turning to leave the canteen and closing the door.

nWhen the canteen was completely empty, Sheng Xiao walked towards Yu Huang slowly. For the first time, his usually tall and determined figure seemed hunched and dejected.

nSheng Xiao walked to Yu Huang and squatted down slowly. Then, he held Yu Huang’s cold hands with pain, resentment, and sorrow.

nSheng Xiao had a lot to say to Yu Huang, but he felt that everything he said would come out wrong.

n“In the past, I always felt that if the sky was really going to collapse, I would definitely stand taller and do my best to support the sky above your head. I just never thought that when the sky was really going to collapse, I wouldn’t even have the right to stand up and support you.”

n“Jiujiu.” Sheng Xiao’s hand was trembling as he held Yu Huang’s hand. Then, he brought Yu Huang’s finger to his lips and kissed it again and again. After kissing it a few times, he asked in a pained tone, “Is there any way for me to bear all of this for you?”

nYu Huang stared at him gently.

nShe said, “You know that there’s no way.”

nSheng Xiao’s expression faltered.

nHe squeezed Yu Huang’s finger so tightly that it hurt. “Jiujiu, give me your Eternal Eye, okay? Let me make this sword and let me guard the three thousand worlds, okay?”

nUpon hearing this, Yu Huang finally couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore.

nShe pressed Sheng Xiao into her arms as she said, “No, Brother Xiao, we can’t swap places.”

nUpon hearing this, Sheng Xiao finally broke down.

nHe buried his head in Yu Huang’s abdomen and stopped talking.

nAlthough Yu Huang didn’t hear Sheng Xiao’s cries, she saw that his broad shoulders were trembling.

nSeeing this, Yu Huang held Sheng Xiao’s head and lowered her head to kiss his hair. Her tears landed on Sheng Xiao’s forehead and face, but her tone was calm as she said, “Many years ago, on the way to the Ice Blazing City, you said something to Prime Master Chengwen. You said that we worked hard to make ourselves into a sharp sword not to use it to kill, but to protect our home.”

n“Brother Xiao, you and I will eventually become sharp swords. We will walk side by side and kill the Great Dao together. In the future, I will be in charge of guarding the three thousand worlds. You will be in charge of protecting the living beings of the world, okay?”

nSheng Xiao couldn’t bring himself to answer her.

n“You make it sound so nice.” Sheng Xiao placed his palm on Yu Huang’s abdomen. When he felt the children in her stomach, he asked Yu Huang, “Have you thought about what to do with our children? If you want to guard the three thousand worlds, who will protect me and the children?”

nSheng Xiao’s question stumped Yu Huang, a prospective mother.

nSheng Xiao raised his body and held Yu Huang’s head while pressing it down. Then, he pressed his forehead against Yu Huang’s as he said, “Jiujiu, it’s the Great Dao’s responsibility to protect the three thousand worlds, but it’s your responsibility to accompany me and the children. Are you going to let us down?”

nYu Huang burst into tears.

nSeeing Yu Huang’s tears, Sheng Xiao suddenly couldn’t bear to make things difficult for her. He wiped Yu Huang’s tears with his finger, but the more he wiped, the more tears there were. “Don’t cry.” Sheng Xiao kissed the tip of Yu Huang’s nose affectionately as he said, “The three thousand worlds came before our small home. Jiujiu, you made the right choice. If it were me, I would have made the same choice as you. I just…”

nSheng Xiao’s mouth was filled with the salty taste of Yu Huang’s tears. He held Yu Huang’s hand and placed it on his chest so that she could feel his heart beating slowly because of her. “I just can’t bear to part with you.”

nYu Huang could feel how slow and heavy the heart under her palm was beating. She suddenly said to Sheng Xiao, “Let me ask you something.”

nSheng Xiao was puzzled, but said, “Ask away.”

nYu Huang wiped her tears and asked him, “Does the Psychic Divine Fox, Divine Master Mo Jing, really have nine lives?”

nSheng Xiao was stunned.

nHe didn’t understand why Yu Huang would mention the Nine-tailed Creator Fox at this time. However, Sheng Xiao knew everything Yu Huang wanted to know.

nNodding, Sheng Xiao told her, “Of course. Back then, the Divine Fox Divine Master Mo Jing had nine lives. So, even if the little foxes in his clan were useless, he could fight against nine people alone. He was considered a powerful existence among the Divine Masters.”

n“So it’s true.” Yu Huang picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. After she moistened her throat, she sighed and said, “How magical. There’s actually someone who has multiple lives.”

nAs Sheng Xiao stared at the tea in Yu Huang’s cup, his frown deepened.

n“Brother Xiao.” Yu Huang suddenly turned her wrist and brought the cup of tea to Sheng Xiao’s lips as she ordered him, “Drink some water.” Sheng Xiao must have rushed back to see her. He had not had the time to drink water and he had cried just now, so he must be thirsty.

nSheng Xiao opened his mouth obediently and took a sip of the tea Yu Huang handed him.

nAfter he tea moistened his throat, Sheng Xiao felt much calmer.

nAt that moment, Yu Huang suddenly covered Sheng Xiao’s lips with her soft and warm fingers. She pressed Sheng Xiao’s lips until they were red. Then, she looked at Sheng Xiao gently aS SHE said in a low voice, “You asked me to see if your heart and eyes would be filled with me in the future.”
