Qin Shi's expression changed slightly, but then he smiled faintly and said, "That's right …"
Even if I have to go to heaven or hell, I will find you.
Suddenly, Qin Shi remembered something he had said while looking at Qin Xue Xin's back in the Unrequited Love Valley.
"Xue Xin, we've known each other for twenty years, haven't we?" The scenes in the Unrequited Love Valley appeared in Qin Shi's mind.
Qin Shi would never forget what Qin Xue Xin had said when he was almost killed by the Blood Puppet King. She had shielded him with her life on the line.
"You know what I mean, and I feel pity for you. I must ask the heavens for this feeling."
Just like how Qin Xue Xin would never forget how Qin Shi had shielded her from the countless Blood Puppets.
That was the first time Qin Xue Xin had faced Qin Shi's feelings.
But at that time, he was just a tiny Spirit Sealing Realm cultivator. Qin Xue Xin stood at a height he could only look up to.
Because of this, Qin Xue Xin seemed to have become a completely different person not long after the two of them had exposed their hearts to each other.
The awkward acquaintance, the hasty encounter, and the fragile feelings.
"That's right … It's been twenty years."
Qin Xue Xin also smiled gently. She looked at Qin Shi with her bright eyes and said, "Thank you, Qin Shi, for persevering for the past twenty years."
"That's right. I still remember that you wanted to escape back then." Qin Shi rubbed Qin Xue Xin's snow-white hair and held Qin Xue Xin in his arms.
Qin Xue Xin didn't struggle. She gently lay in Qin Shi's arms. She had thought countless times that she would have such an opportunity one day.
Now, after twenty years of hard work, he had finally succeeded.
The two of them had met in the tiny Crimson Flame Empire. At that time, she was the high and mighty Spiritual Maiden of the Blue Snow Sect, while he was merely a weak youth from a small family who was stumbling about and had an unknown future ahead of him.
At that time, he could only look up to that beautiful face. It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful girl. She was breathtaking, refined, and breathtaking.
His heart naturally pounded like an ordinary person. However, at that time, Qin Shi never imagined that he would have any chance encounter with this woman. This was because this woman was ice-cold and untouchable. She was so close, yet it felt as if she was thousands of miles away.
At that time, he only thought that Qin Xue Xin was a woman who didn't understand human emotions. However, after learning about Qin Xue Xin's story, he felt pity and heartache. However, he knew the gap between the two of them. He couldn't help but admit that when Qin Xue Xin recovered her strength, even Qin Shi felt a sense of inferiority in his heart.
At that time, Qin Shi soared into the Nine Heavens for the first time. Under Qin Xue Xin's lead, he left the Passionless Valley. At that time, he swore that one day, he would bring Qin Xue Xin with him to witness the reappearance of the Azure Sky.
However, things changed with the passage of time. Twenty years later, the youth of the past had finally grown up and stood at the peak of this continent.
Perhaps only he knew how much he had sacrificed for this journey. However, he had never regretted it.
However, Qin Shi also knew that in these twenty years, this girl had also sacrificed a great deal in order to be with him.
After returning to the Blue Snow Sect, everyone knew that Qin Xue Xin had met a boy. Countless Blue Snow Sect disciples who wanted to pursue Qin Xue Xin wanted to kill their way to Chi Yan. It was she who stopped everyone, and then secretly came to Chi Yan from the Blue Snow Sect to see Qin Shi. She helped Qin Shi go to the Time Vortex. She helped Qin Shi obtain the Human Emperor Demon-Conquering Orb for Qin Shi. For Qin Shi, she fought against the Burning Sky Sect. For Qin Shi, she put herself in danger time and time again.
On this path, she might not be as bold and passionate as Chen Yan, but she had quietly done a lot for Qin Shi.
Even ten years ago, when she had almost lost her life, she had never regretted it.
She had quit the sect, become enemies with the Eight Regions, and become enemies with the heavens.
Qin Xue Xin had once said that in the eyes of others, there might be nothing more important than the heavens. However, in her world, there was nothing more important than Qin Shi.
It was Qin Shi who had saved this girl, who had been harboring misfortune, from a hopeless situation.
"You promised to take me to see the sea, but this time you didn't take me to the village near the sea." Qin Xuexin said with a bit of resentment in her voice.
Qin Shi was stunned. Only now did he understand why Qin Xue Xin had deliberately brought up the matter of him going to the coastal village.
Qin Shi smiled bitterly. "This time, it was indeed a little rushed, but when things in the human world are over, I will take you to the deep sea. There, I also have many friends I want to introduce to you."
As he said that, Qin Shi stretched his back. He looked at Qin Xue Xin standing quietly beside him and smiled. "Do you know what my biggest dream was?"
Qin Xue Xin looked at Qin Shi curiously. "What is it?"
"To be able to stand in front of you as an equal."
Qin Shi smiled. "However, it's still not enough. I have to become stronger than you. Only then can you be at ease and let go of all the burdens. Let me carry them for you and let you be a quiet woman behind me." Qin Shi smiled. "You're right.
"Then you must work hard. If I leave you behind, you won't have a chance anymore." Qin Xue Xin smiled sweetly.
Qin Shi touched Qin Xue Xin's nose. Then he said with a bit of heartache. "The power in your body, is it really okay?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a problem for the time being. In these ten years, at the beginning, this power was very violent. It made me feel like I had changed back to how I was before I met you. I didn't dare to trust anyone, and I was very cold. In the Chaos Cemetery, I killed two disciples of the Puppet Group. After that, I gradually calmed down."
"Now, this power seems to have calmed down a lot. There shouldn't be any problems in a short period of time."
Qin Shi let out a sigh of relief and nodded. Then he said seriously, "However, you can't let your guard down. I don't know what's going on with this power, but it definitely has something to do with the Puppet Group. When the demon comes back, I'll ask him to take a look. Maybe he'll know what's going on. Before that, you must promise me that you won't use this power. No matter what happens, let me protect you."
Qin Xue Xin smiled mischievously. It seemed that she only showed this side of her in front of Qin Shi. "I know, housekeeper!"
"Hey, you dare to say that I'm a housekeeper? Do you believe that I won't confiscate your space ring? You won't have any freedom at all."
"Alright, that way, I won't have to worry about anything in the future. As long as I eat and drink my fill every day, I'll be fine. I'll let you take care of all the troubles." Qin Xue Xin was unconvinced. She pinched her waist and retorted.
Qin Shi smiled. He really hoped that there would be a day when he could let go of this girl who had been entangled with fate and disaster since childhood. Even if he was tired, he felt that it was worth it.
"Oh right, before you came back, Xiao Hua came to see me once." Qin Xue Xin suddenly said.
"Donkey Ruhua?"
Qin Shi was slightly moved. Ever since they parted ways in the deep sea, he had lost track of Dong Ruhua. He only knew that the evil spirit had told him that Dong Ruhua would be fine, which was why he was at ease. However, when he heard Qin Xue say that Dong Ruhua had returned before he returned to the human world, he became excited again. He owed Dong Ruhua a great debt of gratitude.
"Yes, she told me to tell you that she went back to the Beast Realm first. She told you not to worry about her. She said that if you have the chance, you should go to the Beast Realm." Qin Xue Xin said.
Qin Shi nodded his head, "We must go to the Beast Realm. Xiao Mi Cai is still in the Beast Realm and I still have something to pass to her. No matter what, that lass has been calling me daddy for a long time."
"Let's wait until everything in the human world is over."
Qin Xue Xin nodded. "Are you confident?"
Qin Shi knew that Qin Xue Xin was talking about the upcoming battle with the Chaotic Lands.
Qin Shi became slightly solemn. He said honestly, "I have a chance, but I'm not absolutely confident. We have more than two hundred World Realm cultivators, but the Chaotic Lands are also creating more powerful cultivators. Both sides have equal numbers. But as long as Yao Ming doesn't break through to Life Realm, I'm confident that I can win."
"Do you want me to help you?" Qin Xue Xin asked softly.
Qin Shi said decisively, "No need. The power in your body can explode at any moment, so don't use it."
Qin Xue Xin didn't insist. She nodded. "But you must promise me that you will be safe. If anything happens to you, I will attack. I will kill Yao Ming at all costs."
"I promise you." Qin Shi nodded.
Then, the two of them stood on the wall of Red Flame City. A cold wind blew against them.
In the following month, the Qin Sect and the Chaotic Lands finally started fighting. However, it wasn't a battle between powerful cultivators. Instead, it was between disciples from both sides. They started fighting in the human world.
The human world seemed to be divided by two forces. One side occupied the southeast, and the other side occupied the northwest.
Tens of millions of disciples from both sides started fighting. The biggest battle in the history of the human world finally broke out.
It was a battle that would decide the future of the human world.
The next day, Qin Shi was sitting in the Imperial City of the Crimson Flame Empire. Suddenly, an ancient and dignified figure appeared. It should be a clan leader who had been in a high position for a long time. However, at this moment, there was a trace of panic on his face. He leaped into the great hall, and when he saw Qin Shi, he immediately knelt down. "Le- Alliance Leader … I beg you, no matter what, you must save Dan Yang's life."
"Clan Leader Guo?"
Seeing this old man, Qin Shi frowned. This old man was the leader of the Guo Clan of the Hundred Tribes. "Leader Guo, what's going on?
Stand up and tell me. "
"Alliance Leader, Dan Yang, Dan Yang, she's in trouble."
The Guo family elder's eyes were red. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Lie of the Blazing Domain sent out a domain order yesterday. Dan Yang will be executed in the Blazing Domain at noon today!"
