Chapter 238: Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost 59
She accompanied him through every lonely and quiet night in Xuanji Palace, making him feel that he was not alone and that there was someone who cared about him and accompanied him.
He didn't know when she was imprinted in his heart and would never leave it.
But at this moment Runyu was a little hesitant. He was not sure whether Axi would be willing to accompany him to that position. That position was the highest and farthest, cold and lonely, and would also erode people's humanity.
Ah Xi likes freedom and doesn't like trouble. If it weren't for the safety of the six realms, she would not be willing to stay in this heavenly palace.
How could Ling Xi not notice Runyu's abnormality? Today, she could feel that Runyu was hesitant and wavering. She didn't know what he was thinking and he was hesitant to talk to her.
Finally, it was Ling Xi who spoke first. He looked up at Runyu and asked, "Runyu, what do you want to say to me?"
Runyu had already prepared himself mentally, but when faced with such direct words, he still panicked for a moment.
If you care too much, you will not be willing to lose.
Runyu's heart was a little uneasy, beating up and down. He breathed nervously and said, "Ah Xi, Taiyi Immortal and others have requested that I ascend to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven. This can be regarded as a comfort to the people in the heaven."
The heavenly realm is leaderless now, and his cultivation is very strong. All the immortals are aware of his abilities in the past few months. Therefore, if Runyu can ascend to that position as soon as possible, it will also be able to suppress the thoughts of some people in the heavenly realm.
Ling Xi smiled and looked at Runyu with satisfaction: "Isn't this great? The immortals and the various races in the heavens have seen your efforts over the past few months. This is what you deserve."
Unlike in the original plot, where he ascended to the throne of Heavenly Emperor with the reputation of killing his father and brother, Runyu now has a clean hand and outstanding abilities, and it is everyone's expectation that he will ascend to that position.
"But," Runyu's earlobes blushed. Even the most stable person would become as reckless as a young boy when such things were mentioned.
"They also mentioned establishing a queen. Ah Xi, are you willing?"
Without waiting for Ling Xi to answer, Runyu continued to speak desperately, as if holding a desperate mood: "I know you like freedom and don't like being restricted. I also know that you probably don't want to be the queen.
I once thought about letting you leave and travel around the world, but when I thought about the days without you, I found that I couldn't do it. I have already reflected you in my life and it is difficult to separate you.
So, I want to selfishly and meanly ask you to stay. In my life, I don't ask for much. The only thing I insist on is you. I only ask you to love me a little more every day, day after day, month after month, year after year, year after year in this life. It doesn't matter if you love me lightly, but I ask you to love me for a long time."
Runyu was feeling uneasy yet hopeful. He stared at Ling Xi with his pair of eyes as gentle as jade, and her figure was reflected in his eyes.
Hearing Runyu's words, Ling Xi suddenly stared at Runyu, making Runyu feel embarrassed.
Runyu couldn't help feeling disappointed, and a sad look flashed across his eyes. It seemed that he was unwilling.
What Ling Xi was thinking was that this person finally spoke out his true feelings, which he had been holding back for a long time.
She laughed softly, her laughter as clear as a silver bell, and smiled at Runyu, bright and charming, with a smile in her voice: "I thought you were going to keep these words to yourself until the end of time?"
"Are you willing?" Runyu stretched out his hand to Ling Xi.
Are you willing to sit with him on the lonely and high throne of the Emperor of Heaven, and be with him until the end of time?
Ling Xi pursed her lips, listening to Runyu's slowed breathing, and then, under his incredulous gaze, she reached out her hand and placed it in Runyu's palm.
The two hands, one big and one small, are extremely harmonious, as if they were born to be together.
Ling Xi smiled, her eyes shining, "I thought you already knew my feelings." The happiest thing in the world is that the person you love also falls in love with you at the same time, and both of you are running towards each other. That is the happiest moment.
After getting Ling Xi's affirmative reply, Runyu felt like he had returned from hell to heaven. He was uncontrollably excited and his heart was beating fast.
Finally, unable to hold back his excitement, Runyu suddenly hugged Ling Xi into his arms.
The body in his arms was soft and light, the petite back pressed against the strong chest, the slender waist was held in his palms, and Runyu's heartbeat was clear and strong.
"Thank you, Axi." Runyu whispered softly into Lingxi's ear.
Thank you for never giving up on me.
Ling Xi reached out and hugged Runyu back, her slender white hands resting on his strong waist, her head buried in his heart, accompanying him quietly.
After getting Ling Xi's accurate answer, Runyu's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny, and he became as bright as the sun, with a smile on his face the whole time.
To the extent that when Ling Xi talked to him about serious matters, he just laughed foolishly.
Ling Xi couldn't bear to look at it, and patted Runyu, "Stop smiling like an idiot, and talk about business."
Runyu was not angry when he was patted. He slightly suppressed his smile, and only his smiling eyes showed that he was in a very good mood.
Ling Xi was helpless in the end and could only let him be like that, and then continued talking to herself.
"Taiwei has already met with King Gucheng and they have joined forces. They worked together once to kill Lian Chao, and this is the second time."
Runyu nodded, but he didn't look worried. "Among the three kings of the Demon Realm, the current Demon Lord Yancheng King is quite powerful, but he is not as scheming as Biancheng King, so he is not to be feared. Biancheng King is upright and doesn't like war, so he won't take advantage of the opportunity to do anything. This Gucheng King is the most ambitious and scheming one, so he is worth guarding against. The most important thing is to beware of him instigating Yancheng King to attack the Heaven Realm."
Ling Xi's voice was soft and gentle, "It's okay. The demon world won't be a big deal. We still have other enemies. That person is the most important one and should not be underestimated."
"Although I made a lot of preparations, I'm not sure if my preparations worked."
Runyu's eyes were bright, and he looked like he understood everything, but his words were sharp: "That person is Xuanling Doumu Yuanjun, right? Ah Xi, am I wrong in my guess?"
Runyu looked at Lingxi with a smile, his eyes saying "please give me a compliment."
"Yes, you guessed right." Ling Xi nodded.
“In fact, I was reluctant to believe it at first. After all, that person was a saint from Shangqing Heaven and never cared about the affairs of the six realms. I couldn’t understand why she did so many things. But later, when I looked back at everything that happened, it seemed that there was the shadow of Xuanling Doumu Yuanjun.
When Qiongqi was released, we all thought he was the King of Gucheng from the Demon Realm, but no one noticed that the seal on the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron was put there by Xuanling Doumu Yuanjun herself. The seal of a Daluo Jinxian is not so easy to be lifted.
And the matter of the Flower Goddess. She is the Flower Goddess's master. She taught the Flower God all his skills. Can she really watch the Flower God die without stopping him?"
Runyu couldn't help but think about all the things.
