Chapter 1390: Chapter 1080: These words wouldn’t happen to be spoken by the Heavenly Emperor’s order, would they?
Pei Shuhua gazed into the depths of the universe, and Pei Tianlu stood by her in the void. After a long while, Pei Shuhua finally asked, “Did the ancestor have any wishes to fulfill before the great calamity?”
Pei Tianlu thought for a mont and replied, “There is one.”
Pei Shuhua asked, “What is it?”
Pei Tianlu said, “You are the most outstanding of my descendants. As your ancestor, I naturally wish to see you find a good partner and beco a couple.”
Pei Tianlu paused for a mont and then quickly added, “Of course, I know this is difficult. After all, ten thousand years is too short to find a suitable partner easily.”
Pei Shuhua slightly turned her head, looking at Pei Tianlu with suspicion.
“Ancestor, could it be that His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor asked you to say this?”
Pei Shuhua knew about the master-servant contract between Lu Chen and Pei Tianlu. Hearing the ntion of a partner, Pei Shuhua imdiately thought of Lu Chen.
Thinking of Lu Chen’s lecherous tendencies, Pei Tianlu’s ntion of a partner inevitably led Pei Shuhua to suspect that Pei Tianlu wanted her to marry Lu Chen and beco his woman.
Pei Tianlu knew that Pei Shuhua had misunderstood, so he quickly said, “His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor did not ask to tell you this. Moreover, His Majesty does not need to speak on such matters. He is a direct person; if he likes soone, he will tell them personally.”
“Besides, as long as you find a partner who can make you happy, your ancestor will approve. It doesn’t necessarily have to be His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.”
Pei Shuhua’s face still showed a hint of skepticism; she still had so doubts about her ancestor’s words.
However, thinking back, although Lu Chen was sowhat lecherous, he didn’t seem to have other significant flaws apart from this one.
Lu Chen treated his won very well, unlike so n who abandoned them after sleeping with them.
But…
Just the thought of sharing a husband with so many won made Pei Shuhua feel a bit repulsed.
Pei Shuhua then said, “If I find a suitable partner, I will let the ancestor know.”
Hearing Pei Shuhua’s words, Pei Tianlu showed a comforting smile and then said, “Your ancestor was rely saying it casually. You don’t need to find soone just to complete a task.”
Pei Shuhua said, “I understand.”
At this mont, Pei Tianlu glanced at the star domains of the Chiyue Dynasty and said, “Alright, I’ll head back first. If you ever want to manage the forr star domains of the Chiyue Dynasty, just speak to the Heavenly Emperor. He will agree.”
“Alright, ancestor, take care.”
As soon as Pei Shuhua finished speaking, Pei Tianlu’s body turned into a stream of starlight and left this star domain.
After Pei Tianlu left, Pei Shuhua remained silent in the void for a long ti. For so reason, Lu Chen’s image reappeared in her mind.
She raised her delicate fingers and rubbed her forehead, trying hard not to think wildly.
…
A month later.
Tianchen World.
Lu Chen’s main body had already left Chu Yunzhi’s room and went to attend to his duties with other concubines. Taking this opportunity, Chu Yunzhi ca to Chu Yuqin’s chamber and t Chu Yuqin’s child.
Chu Yuqin was, after all, a part of Chu Yunzhi. Thus, Chu Yuqin’s child was equivalent to Chu Yunzhi’s child. When Chu Yuqin’s child first saw Chu Yunzhi, they felt a deep sense of closeness.
In the chamber, Chu Yunzhi held Chu Yuqin’s hand as they sat on the soft couch, causing it to slightly sink under their weight.
Chu Yuqin smiled and said, “Have you realized your mistake now?”
Chu Yunzhi’s lips curved slightly, “I suddenly feel that without the mistakes of the past, we wouldn’t have today’s everything.”
Although she felt that her actions back then were sowhat absurd, upon reflecting calmly recently,
If she hadn’t sought revenge on Lu Chen, hadn’t let her secondary body stay by his side, wouldn’t it also an that their fate would have been entirely cut off?
Lu Chen wouldn’t have co to save her, and her final fate would have likely been to beco Emperor Shenwu’s Furnace Cauldron.
Hearing Chu Yunzhi’s words, Chu Yuqin seed helpless, “It seems you still haven’t realized your mistake. If Lu Chen hears this, you’ll be in for more hardships next year.”
Chu Yunzhi, with an unchanged expression, said, “Let him co. Now that I am a Great Emperor, what is there to fear?”
Chu Yuqin said, “Oh? Is that so? Then I’ll have him not visit your room for the next year.”
Chu Yunzhi was taken aback, then said, “You are my secondary body; how can you take Lu Chen’s side.”
Chu Yuqin said, “Back then, you were the one who severed our ties. Now, we are no longer considered the sa person.”
Chu Yunzhi said, “Enough, enough, this is fine too.”
At this point, Chu Yunzhi picked up a wine jug from the small table on the couch, poured herself a cup of wine, and took a gentle sip.
After a sip of wine, Chu Yunzhi continued, “If that guy had been enlightened earlier, none of those things would have happened later on.”
The enlightennt Chu Yunzhi referred to was Lu Chen’s lecherous nature. If Lu Chen had been lecherous in his past life, he might have taken her completely. She would have lost her Spiritual Body, and Emperor Shenwu wouldn’t have targeted her.
Seeing Chu Yunzhi bring up Lu Chen again, Chu Yuqin said, “Didn’t you just say enough? Why bring it up again?”
Chu Yunzhi was startled and said, “I don’t know why, but there’s always a thorn in my heart.”
Although it appeared that she was avenging herself on Lu Chen back then, wasn’t it also a form of self-punishnt? She loved Lu Chen so much, yet did such things to the one she loved. It was sothing she couldn’t forgive herself for.
Her Guardian Path was the Path of Love, closely tied to Lu Chen. Avenging herself on Lu Chen was against her path, which inherently made it hard for her to let go.
Thus, the harsher Lu Chen’s retribution, the happier she might feel, as it provided a sense of atonent.
It was this sense of atonent that made Chu Yunzhi very enthusiastic when Lu Chen punished her, leading Lu Chen to suspect that there was sothing off about her attribute.
Chu Yuqin sighed and said, “Your Majesty probably doesn’t mind. If he did, he wouldn’t have gone so far to save you.”
As Chu Yunzhi’s secondary body, Chu Yuqin knew well what Chu Yunzhi was really struggling with.
Chu Yunzhi fell silent and continued drinking. At this mont, Chu Yuqin suddenly thought of sothing and continued, “Actually… I suspect the reason you wanted to avenge yourself on Lu Chen was because that person used sothing on you—sothing to confuse you, making those thoughts not genuinely your own.”
Hearing this, Chu Yunzhi was stunned. She put down her wine cup and asked, “Why do you say that?”
Chu Yuqin said, “Think about it. You loved Lu Chen so much; how could you grow so hateful to the point of wanting him dead? You are not that kind of person.”
Chu Yunzhi was silent for a mont and found so sense in that.
At this mont, she suddenly thought of sothing, “It seems he used the Sky Evolution Stone on .”
The Sky Evolution Stone had the ability to change one’s thoughts. Chu Yunzhi suddenly realized why Emperor Shenwu would have felt so confident leaving the Sky Evolution Stone with her for a period of ti.
It must have all been because of Emperor Shenwu. He wanted her to give up on Lu Chen, so he used the Sky Evolution Stone to influence her personality, making it beco twisted.
At this thought, Chu Yunzhi felt a lot better.
