When Yaohua was in a coma, she vaguely heard something and suddenly opened her eyes. "Husband!"
However, what she saw was Chongming's cold and peerless face.
She was first overjoyed. "Have we switched back?"
Chongming slightly lowered his eyelashes, as if there were broken glimmers of tears. "Don't you want to see me?"
Yaohua rubbed her eyes, suspecting she was seeing things wrong. How could her master, who had always been like a sharp sword on an ice field, shed tears so easily?
She didn't take this to heart but anxiously asked, "Where is he? How is he?"
Seeing that she didn't care about him at all, Chongming understood but still felt extremely sour.
He had always thought his heart was as cold as ice and snow, without the slightest flutter. After hearing about the strange event of time - space travel, he had been thinking about the sentient beings in the Three Realms and had no time to think about other things.
But now, the girl who used to only have eyes for him was anxiously calling another person's name and ignoring him. His heart felt stuffy and painful, and he didn't know what to think.
This strange feeling intensified in his chest, almost about to explode, constantly knocking on the door of his heart.
Although he was ignorant about love, he wasn't completely oblivious. Under such a strong stimulus, it was hard not to redden his eyes. He even wanted to defy the overall situation and ask if Yaohua would rather it was him who was about to die instead of the other version of him from another world.
Yes, they had been married for several years in another world. Her heart and eyes were full of that person. How could he, just her master, compare?
"Master, please tell me quickly. Where on earth is he? I must go and save him right away. He's just a demon now and can't bear the punishment."
Seeing that he closed his eyes and didn't answer, Yaohua thought the situation must be more serious than she could imagine. Her eyes welled up with tears and her voice choked with sobs.
Little did she know that this would only give Chongming a stronger stimulus.
He said in a hoarse voice, "He has been taken away and locked up. Zhao Yue has formed an alliance with Mu Hua and is trying to overthrow the Three Realms. The God - Lord has no time to deal with other things. You can rest assured."
Yaohua let out a sigh of relief. "Then let's go and save him quickly."
She quickly got up, took a few steps, then turned back and asked in confusion, "Master, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? Did the God - Lord make things difficult for you?"
Chongming was silent for a long time, then shook his head. "It's okay. I'm just being self - disturbing."
"If you're a mediocre person, there won't be many smart people in the world." Yaohua joked casually.
Chongming stared at her. He should have said something but finally didn't. He wasn't sure if Yaohua's closeness at this moment was because she mistook him for another person.
Did they look alike? They must.
After all, they were the same person, but why did his heart still feel stuffy and painful?
Seeing that he seemed to be in a bad complexion, Yaohua was a little confused. But then she remembered that their relationship wasn't that close yet. She silently took a few steps back. "I've overstepped. Please don't be angry, Master."
Chongming didn't say much.
The two immediately rushed to the Heavenly Prison.
The heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the door widened their eyes in surprise. "The God - Lord has personally gone to battle to resist the demons. Lord Chongming, I used to respect you the most, but you actually want to secretly release the prisoner while he's away. Are you really colluding with the demons?"
Before he could finish his interrogation, Yaohua knocked him out neatly. "You insignificant person, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
Just thinking about how these heavenly soldiers and generals had treated her husband made her angry.
Inside the Heavenly Prison, "Zhao Wu"'s shoulder blades were pierced by chains, and his body was covered in blood. Two jailers were pouring water that was specifically designed to restrain demons on him.
Wherever the water fell, countless blisters appeared on "Zhao Wu"'s body, and his demonic energy scattered.
He was tortured to the brink of death.
Yaohua quickly knocked the two jailers aside and rescued him with red eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm late."
"Zhao Wu" gave her a tired smile. "It's okay. I knew you would come."
Then, he fainted.
Yaohua's nose turned sour, and big tears fell. She felt so useless. If Mu Hua hadn't just gathered a large army to attack the Heavenly Realm, Chongming might have died here.
Along with the sadness, a deep - seated hatred for the God - Lord rose in her heart.
If it weren't for the God - Lord, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation!
At this time, there was a rumbling thunder outside. She looked up in confusion. "How could the war affect this place? What's that sound outside?"
"It's the Heavenly Punishment." A figure appeared in front of her.
Immortal Jiang Mo's gaze was calm, as if he had no feelings at all. "You came too early. I had to use this way to make him die."
Yaohua subconsciously hugged the unconscious "Zhao Wu" in her arms tightly. "What do you mean by that? Is the thing outside your doing?"
Jiang Mo didn't deny it. His voice was as cold as ice and snow. "I understand the pain of losing the beloved, and so does the God - Lord. You just don't understand, so you keep interfering in this matter."
As he spoke, Yaohua's premonition of danger grew stronger. "What on earth do you want to do?"
Jiang Mo said calmly, "So, in order to make you understand me, I've summoned the most severe punishment from the Nine Heavens. The demon will be completely annihilated under this punishment. Even the soul of a god will be blasted into nothingness."
Yaohua's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Chongming was now in the body of a demon.
Jiang Mo wanted to make her lose her beloved forever and stay in this time - space muddle - headedly, never to return.
She hugged Chongming tightly and said angrily, "Are you really crazy to this extent? You clearly know that if we let Mu Hua's strength grow, he will become the greatest disaster in the Three Realms!"
"So what?" For the first time, Jiang Mo's emotions fluctuated. His eyes were full of madness. "It's just a matter of letting him be the master of the Three Realms. I just want to live a peaceful life with my beloved. Is that wrong? You're so high - minded just because your beloved is still alive in the real world!"
"My father is dead too!"
Yaohua couldn't stand it anymore and angrily interrupted him. "Do you think I don't want him to live? Do you think I don't want my family to live happily together? But look at the world outside now. The demons are running wild. It will take who knows how long for the land of the Nine Provinces to recover. If Mu Hua becomes the ruler, of course, we powerful immortals can be spared and live in peace. But what about the common people in the world? How will they survive?"
"They are humans. They are weak. They also have brothers, sisters, relatives, and lovers. Are they just supposed to be trampled on like this?"
