Chapter 937: Swearing to Walk with You!

The stars shone brightly, and a clear, bright moon hung above the row upon row of rooftops.

The moon in Brightmoon City was different from elsewhere; seen from here, the moon was always full, with no waxing or waning.

Thus, the city was named Brightmoon.

Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the bright moon, and sighed, "Three hundred years make a cycle. The two cities, Sunblaze and Brightmoon, are finally about to shine together again! The Sun-Moon Divine Eyes have not appeared for a hundred thousand years. I wonder if anyone from your two families will succeed this time. But... I think you, Li'er, have a great chance."

Li'er stood half a step behind. Hearing Ye Yuan's words, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she said, "You... seem to know a lot about Sunblaze and Brightmoon Cities."

Ye Yuan turned around, looked at Yue Mengli, and smiled lightly, "You don't have to beat around the bush looking for answers. I can tell you, your guess... is correct!"

Yue Mengli's whole body trembled, and her eyes showed disbelief.

It wasn't that the result was surprising, but Ye Yuan's frankness caught her off guard.

Back in the Boundless Realm, Yue Mengli had wanted to find the answer, but Ye Yuan never gave her the chance.

After returning to Brightmoon City, she gradually came to terms with it.

Yue Mengli was certain that she had truly fallen in love with Ye Yuan.

But today, when Ye Yuan so casually told her the answer, she was instead somewhat flustered.

Yes, flustered.

The young man before her was truly that大人!

If Ye Yuan were just Ye Yuan, Yue Mengli would give everything to love him. But Ye Yuan was not just Ye Yuan, and she didn't know what attitude to take toward him.

The mindset before and after was completely different.

That大人 was a lofty pinnacle figure in the Divine Realm, someone she needed to look up to. Ye Yuan, on the other hand, was merely a small native from the lower realm.

Yet these two persons had miraculously merged!

"Why... why does大人 tell me this?" The usually calm and composed Yue Mengli finally lost her composure.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Haven't you always wanted to know? Since you want to know, I'll tell you."

Yue Mengli was stunned, never expecting the reason to be so simple. Beyond surprise, a trace of sweetness flowed through her heart.

This matter was of great importance, even potentially affecting the future格局 of the Divine Realm.

For Ye Yuan, this was also a huge secret; once exposed, it could even bring death.

Yet, he still told her!

"But before..."

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "Before, my heart was unclear; now, my heart is moved."

Yue Mengli's heart trembled, and she doubted what she had just heard, her eyes filled with shock.

A strong arm gently pulled her into an embrace, and he said, "Li'er, you know I bear a blood-deep vengeance, so... there are things I don't want to think about, dare not think about. But the moment you held me, I found I could no longer deceive myself."

Yue Mengli said nothing, but Ye Yuan could clearly feel her trembling in his arms.

"大人, I... I am so happy!" After a long while, these words came from his embrace, somewhat choked with emotion.

Under the bright moon, the two embraced, speaking not a word through the night.

After who knows how long, Yue Mengli whispered in Ye Yuan's arms, "Milord..."

"Call me Ye Yuan. The past is like smoke. In this life, the name Ye Yuan will shake the Divine Realm!" Ye Yuan said calmly.

Yue Mengli nodded slightly and changed her address: "Ye Yuan, what about Lingxue the Divine King..."

Ye Yuan was silent, then finally sighed and said, "Lingxue and I... perhaps we were not meant to be. Compared to her, I care more about you."

Ye Yuan felt Yue Mengli hold him tighter in her arms.

Another silence, this time broken by Ye Yuan: "Li'er, you should know about my affairs. To be honest, I don't even know what kind of existence I'm up against. But I think Ji Canglan might not be the most fearsome one. Perhaps..."

Before Ye Yuan could finish, a jade-like finger was placed on his lips, stopping him from continuing.

Yue Mengli slowly rose and looked into Ye Yuan's eyes, speaking candidly: "Ye Yuan, you don't know how happy I am now! Back then, when I saw Milord's bearing, I was already captivated. I swore then that I would marry no one but Milord in this life! When I heard the tragic news, I felt the world was collapsing. It was from that time that my innate war soul awakened, causing me to suffer the torment of soul tearing from time to time. Later, I took Yan'er to the Boundless Border to ease my mind, never dreaming that I would meet you. I think this is what people call fate? So, no matter how perilous the road ahead, Li'er vows to walk it with you!"

Yue Mengli's gaze was resolute; she would use her actions to protect this hard-won fate.

"Li'er, thank you!" Ye Yuan said with emotion.

Li'er had a personality that was outwardly gentle but inwardly strong; once she decided something, no force could sway her. Moreover, she was so considerate, always able to see things from Ye Yuan's perspective.

Perhaps it was these qualities that moved Ye Yuan.

...

Five days later, the Yue family's training ground was packed with people.

By then, the training ground had been transformed into a massive alchemy room.

The Yue family was also a family of alchemy, with many members being alchemists by trade. Thus, the Yue family had no shortage of Alchemy Emperors.

At that moment, there were as many as twenty or thirty Alchemy Emperors on the training ground!

"The Soul Severing Pill was made by this young man? He looks like he's just stepped into the Alchemy Venerable realm!"

"The family head said the Soul Severing Pill might be incomplete or tampered with, but I've refined it many times and found nothing wrong."

"Same here! If this young man could use some technique to fool us old-timers, then his alchemy skill would be terrifying!"

At this moment, Ye Yuan was surrounded in the center of the field, with a group of Alchemy Emperors appraising him.

These people had all refined the Soul Severing Pill, but none had discovered anything wrong with it.

However, Zhou Qianru's words had still spread among them.

After all, an eighth-grade pill that so many Alchemy Emperors couldn't refine was too strange.

Just then, a powerful aura descended from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a Eight Extremities War Chariot landing.

"It's Lord Quan Xingzi! The family head actually invited Lord Quan Xingzi to observe!" the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

As a peak Alchemy Emperor and vice president of the Alchemist Guild, Quan Xingzi held a very high status in the Divine Realm.

And today, he had come personally to the Yue family to observe the refinement of a mere eighth-grade pill—how strange.

But they didn't know that Quan Xingzi had also tried to refine the Soul Severing Pill and failed.

He was also curious: what kind of eighth-grade pill was it that even he couldn't refine?
