Chapter 2552 The Eighth Agreement

An Xiruo never expected to meet Chen Qingyuan today. Her longing for him was like a flood bursting its banks, overwhelming the world.

She gently rested her head on Chen Qingyuan's shoulder, her hands gripping tightly, locked together, afraid of parting.

Sensing the beautiful woman's subtle movements, Chen Qingyuan knew exactly what she was thinking. He hugged her tightly in return, wishing he could become one with the soft jade in his arms.

My brother's safe return is more precious than any blessing in the world.

Given the choice between immortality and Chen Qingyuan's return, An Xiruo would undoubtedly choose Chen Qingyuan without the slightest hesitation.

The two embraced for a long time before slowly sitting down on the stone bench by the cliff.

Chen Qingyuan gently held An Xiruo and recounted his experience at the Extreme Feast without holding back.

Although there was no concealment, the hardships and pain involved were not discussed in detail, but rather glossed over.

The matter is over, there's no need to cause the beautiful woman any more worry.

Although Chen Qingyuan did not elaborate on the trials that occurred in the void realm constructed by the Myriad Dao Source Points, An Xiruo could still sense that the danger involved was far beyond what people could imagine. She couldn't help but lean closer and said softly, "It's good that you're safe."

I'm sorry to have worried you.

With the soft jade in his arms, Chen Qingyuan showed none of the cold and domineering aura of a Dao-proving Emperor, his face full of tenderness, speaking softly and gently.

“Brother, I want to make an eighth promise with you.”

Suddenly, An Xiruo exerted a little force and broke free from Chen Qingyuan's embrace, sat up straight, and became serious.

"You said."

Seeing the beautiful woman's solemn expression, Chen Qingyuan knew he had to take it seriously.

"From now on, let's not be apart for so long anymore. I...I'm scared."

When she said this, An Xiruo's voice trembled slightly, revealing her deepest emotions without any attempt to conceal them.

Especially on that day, when Chen Qingyuan's soul lamp suddenly went out, An Xiruo's heart stopped for several breaths, her sea of ​​consciousness exploded, and the sky and earth collapsed.

Even though she firmly believed that the extinguishing of the soul lamp was an accident, she could not rule out the possibility of death.

At that moment, An Xiruo felt her world collapse; her vision blurred, and she nearly fainted. She didn't care about the ultimate imperial throne; she only wished to be with Chen Qingyuan forever.

If Chen Qingyuan really doesn't come back, she doesn't know how she'll go on living.

She will most likely do everything in her power to enter the Ultimate Feast, find out the reason why the Soul Lamp went out, and finally live and die with Chen Qingyuan.

"Okay, I promise you."

Chen Qingyuan nodded emphatically and made this promise.

The ultimate banquet was extremely dangerous, and he didn't want An Xiruo to go inside, lest he be distracted. But he overlooked one thing: An Xiruo, being outside, would also worry about his safety, often anxious and unable to find peace.

An Xiruo smiled and said, "Mm."

The eighth agreement shall now take effect.

From now on, no matter what important things happen, the two will never be separated again.

This kind of pain of parting must be avoided with all our might in the future.

Back then, Chen Qingyuan was still unaware of his past and made nine promises with An Xiruo.

In the blink of an eye, eight agreements have been fulfilled.

"Xi Ruo, have you thought about this last promise?"

Chen Qingyuan pulled the beauty into his arms again, and a fragrance wafted into his nose, making him feel excited.

An Xiruo hesitated for a moment, then replied softly, "It's alright."

Perhaps she already has a plan in mind, but it's not something she can say aloud yet. Or perhaps she really hasn't thought it through and needs to think it over slowly.

In fact, after these nine agreements are finalized, Chen Qingyuan could make nine more promises to An Xiruo, ninety more, nine hundred more, and so on.

As long as An Xiruo asks, he will do his best to fulfill her request, without any limit on the number of requests.

An Xiruo was well aware of this.

However, she cherishes this experience and will certainly not end it hastily.

The two sat on the edge of the cliff, watching the clouds roll and reminiscing about their glorious past.

Before we knew it, several days had passed quietly.

“Brother, Master and fellow disciples do not yet know that you have returned. You should go and pay your respects. You cannot stay here forever.”

Although An Xiruo really wanted to continue sitting quietly with Chen Qingyuan, she didn't forget about the elders and relatives, and offered her suggestions.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Even if An Xi didn't bring it up, Chen Qingyuan would still take care of it, but he wouldn't rush it; it wouldn't matter if it took another three to five years.

After all, more than seven thousand years have passed, so what difference does a few short years make?

"Let's go together."

After Chen Qingyuan returned, An Xiruo's sorrow and coldness vanished, replaced by beautiful features and a radiant smile, making her a completely different person from before.

"Okay, together."

Chen Qingyuan held An Xiruo's jade hand tightly as they walked on clouds.

Their destination was the main hall of the Azure Sect.

In the magnificent and imposing palace, Lin Changsheng sat in the main seat, having just finished dealing with a pile of affairs, and was resting with his eyes closed.

Hey!

Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo entered the main hall, no longer concealing their presence.

Hearing footsteps and feeling a familiar scent approaching, Lin Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the palace gate.

Upon seeing the two people approaching hand in hand, Lin Changsheng, who had long held a high position and had developed a personality that kept his emotions hidden, lost his composure at this moment. His expression changed visibly, from astonishment to joy, and from disbelief to excitement.

"Junior brother! You're back!"

A moment later, Lin Changsheng was overjoyed.

There were more than ten elders in the hall, whose reactions were far more intense than Lin Changsheng's. They all stood up and shouted "Empress" and "Your Excellency".

As the Qingzong sect developed, many elders were no longer the seniors they once were. They were either guest elders or promoted through examinations. They had no feelings for Chen Qingyuan and naturally dared not presume to claim seniority, so they were respectful and courteous.

The elders bowed deeply, their bodies trembling slightly. They never imagined such a day would come, that they would be able to see the Red-Clad Empress and the Venerable One up close. They felt a mixture of fear, shock, excitement, and joy.

"Senior brother."

No matter how high Chen Qingyuan's career progressed, he would never forget his family and friends. With a smile, he bowed deeply to Lin Changsheng.

"Get up quickly, I can't accept the Green Emperor's bow."

Lin Changsheng flashed to Chen Qingyuan's side and reached out his hands to help him up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge him an inch.

Qing Emperor?

The elders in the hall caught a crucial piece of information, their hearts churning like a tidal wave. They suddenly recalled the ancient phenomenon that had occurred some time ago, and the earth-shattering Daoist voice proclaiming, "I am the Azure Emperor."

Could the "Azure Emperor" that the world is so passionately discussing be none other than His Majesty?

Since the sect leader has said so, it must be true.

Upon realizing this, the elders became even more excited, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, almost shaking like sieves.

"Senior brother, although we haven't seen each other for many years, there's no need to be so formal and polite!"

After bowing, Chen Qingyuan stood up and smiled.

"you......"

Lin Changsheng had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to begin.
