Chapter 528: Breaking the Sky_1
"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here! If you really want to repay me, just stay alive. That way, my efforts to save you these three times won’t be in vain." Ye Qingci’s attitude remained cold and aloof.
Su Chengyu smirked and said, "Whether it was out of convenience or not, you know best."
Ye Qingci raised her brow, glaring at Su Chengyu. He immediately fell silent, put away his smile and hurriedly walked down the cliffside.
After Su Chengyu had gone a considerable distance, he slowed down, rubbed his chin and said, "Aunt Ye’s behavior this time was different from the previous two encounters. Odd."
In their previous meetings, Ye Qingci, while always as aloof and as transcendent as a celestial fairy, had been relatively cordial to him. But this time, she was noticeably colder, as if she was consciously distancing herself from him.
Su Chengyu didn’t bother trying to decipher Ye Qingci’s thoughts. Women’s hearts were like needles at the bottom of the sea, and the thoughts of a celestial being like Ye Qingci were even harder to fathom.
At the top of the cliff, Su Chengyu having left, Ye Qingci’s complexion turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
She hurriedly took out an elixir and placed it in her mouth, then sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing and recuperate.
During this hurried mission to slay demons on Bayue Mountain, she hadn’t expected to encounter a top-ranking Demon King on the brink of breaking into the Demon Monarch Realm, his power comparable to hers.
Ye Qingci battled the Demon King valiantly, leaving him mortally wounded. Knowingly facing certain demise, the Demon King, out of deep-rooted hatred for Ye Qingci, attempted to die with her by detonating his Demon Core, which severely injured her in the process.
Concerned about Su Chengyu’s safety and without time to tend to her wounds, she flew over a thousand kilometers to reach Lin Jiang, worsening her injuries.
