Fleeing from the Wedding in Public

The entire venue was in an uproar.

Everyone was stunned.

The wine glasses in the hands of the elders from the major sects dropped in fright.

What... what was going on?

Backing out of the wedding in public?

On the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect, at the wedding of this female demon, slapping her face in public?!

Was this Ye Xuan... crazy?!

Xia Lengyue's body swayed violently.

She stared dead at Ye Xuan, the happiness and expectation in her eyes shattering like a mirror in this instant.

Replaced by endless disbelief and a monstrous chill.

"What did you say?"

Her voice became sharp, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Ye Xuan remained sitting there, even crossing his legs.

"I said."

"I'm not going."

"I'm not getting married."

"As for why I am sitting and not coming down..."

Ye Xuan swirled the wine glass in his hand, a mocking sneer curling the corners of his mouth:

"This is me saving you some face."

"After all..."

"If I really went down and threw wine on you in front of the whole world..."

"How ugly would that look, don't you agree?"

Dead silence.

A deathly silence.

In the entire plaza, you could hear a pin drop.

There was only the sound of the wind whipping the flags.

Everyone felt a terrifying killing intent that made their souls tremble, erupting from the bride in red.

The originally clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds.

The red festive decorations seemed so ironic and bizarre at this moment.

Xia Lengyue raised her head.

Her eyes had instantly turned blood red.

Her meticulously combed long hair moved without wind, instantly scattering and dancing wildly like a demon.

She looked at Ye Xuan.

There was no hysterical roaring.

Nor did she immediately make a move.

She only used an extremely cold, extremely unfamiliar tone, asking slowly:

"Husband."

"Are you..."

"Playing with me?"

Ye Xuan looked at her appearance of being about to fall into demonic deviation.

Looking at the extreme despair and pain in the depths of her eyes.

Ye Xuan's heart felt an unprecedented pleasure.

"Playing with you?"

Ye Xuan slowly stood up. He looked down at Xia Lengyue from above, looking at the demon who had once lingered in his nightmares, now wearing a wedding dress like a resentful woman about to be abandoned.

"Xia Lengyue, you think too highly of yourself."

Ye Xuan casually tossed the wine glass down.

"I am not playing with you."

Ye Xuan's voice suddenly turned cold, like mysterious ice that would not melt for ten thousand years:

"I am... judging you."

"Judging?" Xia Lengyue's pupils shrank violently, an ominous premonition instantly enveloping her entire body.

Ye Xuan ignored her reaction, opening his arms to embrace the sky full of wind and snow.

"Senior Sister, no, Xia Lengyue."

Ye Xuan looked at her, his eyes lacking the sickening disguise of deep affection for the first time, replaced by a chilling clarity and mockery:

"Haven't you always wanted to know if I remembered my past life?"

Xia Lengyue trembled all over.

She abruptly raised her head, the light of hope instantly igniting in her eyes, like a drowning person grabbing the last piece of driftwood:

"You... you remembered? You remembered our past vows? Remembered our love in the mortal realm?"

"Husband! I knew it!"

Xia Lengyue trembled with excitement. She took a step forward, wanting to fly up to the viewing platform:

"I knew you would remember everything! You love me, right? The misunderstandings of the past life are over, we..."

"Yes, I remembered everything."

Ye Xuan interrupted her.

A cruel curve hooked the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of sarcasm:

"I remember it clearly."

"I remember how my palms were scraped raw when I climbed a tree to get a kite for you."

"I remember kneeling in the heavy rain all night, just to beg your father for his blessing."

"But I remember even more..."

Ye Xuan's voice suddenly rose, carrying a venomous resentment suppressed for two lifetimes:

"I remember outside the mountain gate of the Supreme Forgetfulness Sect, for the sake of that Zhao Wuji, how you despised me for being dirty!"

"I remember you making love with another man in the cave mansion, while I listened outside the door all night!"

"I remember how you stepped my face into the mud to please Bai Yujing, telling me to scram!"

"I remember being bled like an animal in the side hall of Kurong Peak, while you were acting slutty and cheap inside!"

These words were like bolts of nine heavens' divine lightning, viciously striking Xia Lengyue's crown.

It also struck all the guests present dumbfounded, making their scalps tingle.

Dead silence across the venue.

Only the howling sound of the wind and snow.

Xia Lengyue's face instantly turned as pale as paper, devoid of any color.

She froze in place, contrasted against that fiery red wedding dress, looking like a glamorous ghost that had just crawled out of a grave.

"You... you..."

Her lips trembled, unable to utter a complete sound.

She thought what he remembered was the beauty.

But forgot that behind the beauty was a bloody path of thorns she had paved with her own hands.

"Precisely because I remembered."

Ye Xuan looked at her, his eyes so cold they lacked a trace of warmth:

"That is why I will not repeat the same mistakes."

"The Ye Xuan of the past life was a fool blinded by love, a cheap bone that let you take whatever you wanted."

"But the current me..."

Ye Xuan pointed to his heart:

"Here, it has long been empty."

"It was hollowed out long ago by your every knife, your every sword."

"No... it's not like that..."

Xia Lengyue shook her head frantically, tears bursting from her eyes. She tried to explain, tried to salvage it:

"Husband, that was the past life! That was for survival! I have changed now! How have I treated you these past ten years, can't you feel it? I've given my life to you!"

"Changed?"

Ye Xuan sneered:

"It is easier to change mountains and rivers than a person's nature."

"These past ten years, have you really changed? When you forced me, did you change?"

"You haven't."

"You merely changed the way you control me."

"In your eyes, I will always just be a dog."

Ye Xuan took a deep breath, seeming not to want to waste any more words on her.

He raised his hand, shaking the blood-red Cold Moon Ring on his wrist.

"Enough, the reminiscing ends here."

Ye Xuan's expression returned to indifference:

"Xia Lengyue, in the past life you owed me a life, owed me a lifetime of love."

"The resources you gave me these past ten years, and the things in this bracelet..."

"Consider them compensation."

"From now on, we owe each other nothing, karma severed."

"May we each be well, and not bother each other."

"Each be well?"

Hearing these words, Xia Lengyue finally broke down.

She suddenly erupted with a shrill scream, the spiritual energy all over her body went berserk, and the surrounding space began to twist and shatter.

"On what basis should we each be well?"

"I guarded you for hundreds of years! I searched for you for hundreds of years! I dug my heart out for you!"

"You took my things, deceived my feelings, and now you tell me we owe each other nothing?"

"Ye Xuan!"

Xia Lengyue's features instantly became incredibly ferocious, her originally stunning face now looking like an evil ghost:

"You want to leave? Dream on!"

"You are mine! Alive, you are my person, and dead, you are my ghost!"

"Since you refuse to do this the easy way, I'll just have to capture you! I'll lock you in the dungeon! Even if I have to break all four of your limbs, even if I have to reduce you to a limbless husk, I will make you stay by my side forever!"

A terrifying aura erupted instantly, manifesting into a giant, blood-red hand that blotted out the sky, clawing viciously toward Ye Xuan on the observation deck!

She was no longer pretending.

Since the soft approach failed, she would use force.

Even if all she got was a broken body, she still wanted him!

Facing the giant hand that could crush him into powder, Ye Xuan stood rooted to the spot, completely unmoving.

There wasn't even a trace of panic on his face.

"I know you've planted countless countermeasures on me."

Ye Xuan spoke nonchalantly.

"The Heart-Binding Curse, the Tracking Mark, the Soul Lock... even this wedding robe of mine is covered in restrictive formations."

"It's just a pity..."

At some point, an ancient talisman glowing with a faint gray light had appeared in Ye Xuan's hand.

As soon as the talisman was drawn, the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly quieted down.

An ancient, desolate, and mysterious aura quietly spread.

"This is..." Xia Lengyue's pupils shrank, and the giant blood-red hand reaching for Ye Xuan actually paused in mid-air for a moment.

"The Myriad-Mile Traceless Talisman."

Ye Xuan calmly stated its name.

"This is an ancient talisman."

"Once activated, it will erase every single mark on the user's body that doesn't belong to them."

"Whatever divine sense marks, whatever magical treasure restrictions, whatever Heart-Binding Curse..."

A mocking curve appeared at the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth:

"All of them, abolished."

"Then, it will teleport me to any location ten thousand miles away."

"It obscures the heavenly secrets and severs all karma."

"Even if an old monster at the Tribulation Transcendence stage came, they wouldn't be able to deduce my location."

"No!"

Xia Lengyue let out a heart-wrenching, furious roar.

She was scared.

This time, she was truly scared.

The fear of losing him completely chilled her more than death itself.

"Ye Xuan! You can't do this to me!"

"I am your wife! I am the person who loves you the most in this world!"

"How can you be so cruel?"

She frantically channeled her spiritual energy, desperately trying to grab him before the talisman activated.

"Cruel?"

Ye Xuan looked at her, a flash of vindication in his eyes:

"Back then, when you threw me into the mass grave like a piece of trash at Kurong Peak..."

"You were ten thousand times crueler than me."

By now, the Myriad-Mile Traceless Talisman had begun to burn.

A gray light enveloped Ye Xuan's entire body, and his figure began to turn ethereal.

"Oh, right."

Just at the final moment before disappearing, Ye Xuan seemed to suddenly remember something.

He looked at Xia Lengyue, who had already rushed to the edge of the observation deck and was reaching out to grab him, and an incredibly wicked, utterly cruel smile appeared on his face.

"Before I go, I'll give you one last truth."

"Actually, all that stuff about the Pure Yang Body, and my Five Elements being too unstable to lose my virginity..."

"I made it all up."

Xia Lengyue's hand froze in mid-air.

She stared blankly at Ye Xuan.

"The reason I never touched you..."

Ye Xuan dropped his smile, his eyes revealing the most genuine, undisguised disgust:

"Is simply because..."

"I think you're dirty."

"Dirty!"

This word, like a dagger, accurately stabbed into the most insecure, most fragile, and most hated scar in Xia Lengyue's heart.

She was struck as if by lightning, stumbling backward and nearly falling from mid-air.

The madness in her eyes instantly turned into endless pain and desolation.

"Dirty... you think I'm dirty..."

"I kept myself pure for you in this life... and you still think I'm dirty..."

"Ahhhhh! No! You can't leave! Take it back!"

Xia Lengyue broke down. She roared, like an injured mother beast, throwing herself recklessly at that ball of gray light:

"You can't leave me! I forbid you from leaving me!"

However.

Ye Xuan's figure had already completely faded.

Within the light, he looked calmly at Xia Lengyue grasping at thin air, leaving his final farewell:

"It's useless."

"Once the Myriad-Mile Traceless Talisman is activated, unless a true immortal descends from the heavens, no one can stop it."

"Xia Lengyue."

"We owe each other nothing. We will never see each other again."

"The grievances of the past end here."

Speaking up to here, his gaze suddenly became as sharp as a blade, his killing intent fully exposed:

"But if you dare to come looking for me, if you dare to disturb my new life..."

"Then we will be sworn enemies until one of us dies."

"This time, I will no longer be the servant you trampled underfoot."

"Goodbye."

"No, farewell forever."

The space trembled.

The gray light flashed and vanished.

On the observation deck, it was completely empty.

The man she had loved for hundreds of years, hated for hundreds of years, and searched for for hundreds of years.

Just like that, at her wedding, taking more than half of her fortune, and carrying his deepest contempt for her.

Disappeared without a trace.
