Chapter 289 - 288: It’s A Trap!
The sky was dark like spilled ink, quiet and wide. Stars dotted it like scattered salt, some blinking, some still. It felt like the world had gone to sleep, and only the sky stayed awake.
Chi Wuyao wore her usual robes, the color of inky night, as she quietly leaned against Yun Wuji’s chest. Her jade-white legs extended from beneath her dress, and her calves rested on the ground.
She loved this moment of peaceful stillness that she could not quite capture with words. A sense of peace and warmth that she had never experienced before washed over her, and she quietly wished that time would freeze, that this moment would last forever.
Yun Wuji stared into the distance as he thought of something. At some point in time, he had rested a hand on Chi Wuyao’s thick and soft thigh, his fingers caressing that satiny and supple flesh.
"Is everything ready?" Yun Wuji asked as he kissed her neck. He had come out of seclusion in this body because of a scheme Chi Wuyao had been planning, and she needed his help to carry it out.
"Mmm," Chi Wuyao hummed softly with her eyes closed.
Biting her ear, Yun Wuji said, "I’m really taking a big risk this time. If I pull it off, what are you going to give me?"
The scheme they were going to execute would bring them immense benefits, but it was also very dangerous, and all the risk that was going to be taken would be taken by him. One misstep and he would die an utterly ugly death.
Of course, Yun Wuji had a backup plan. He had two nirvana phoenixes, one given to him years ago in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, and the other from the Phoenix in the Divine Phoenix Empire.
Originally, the second Nirvana was supposed to go to Feng Xue’er, but she used it in the novel to save Yun Che’s life. But in this timeline, since the three divine spirits had fused, Yun Wuji ended up with two incomplete Nirvanas.
So even if Yun Wuji died, he would come back to life in the Profound Sky Continent.
