Chapter 580 - 576: Etched in Bone
Jing Chu followed the Divine Soul Fragment and the Secret Technique to find this place, and found Wen Nanxi.
When he saw the Ancient Snake Beastman who looked exactly like him, Jing Chu wasn’t surprised.
Strictly speaking, they were all avatars of the Ancient Snake Beast.
When Wen Nanxi saw the Beastman who looked exactly like himself, he instinctively became guarded.
Wen Nanxi looked carefully, but found that this person was not Nan Feng. Although they looked the same, their temperament and aura were completely different.
This person had an aura that was more ethereal and otherworldly.
As sunlight fell, he seemed like an illusory misty rain, as if he could ascend with the wind at any moment.
Unlike Nan Feng’s gloomy and cold aura.
Moreover, he could genuinely feel that the person in front of him had no malice or intent to kill towards him.
He only looked at him with calm yet complex eyes.
Wen Nanxi was silent for a moment, then uncertainly asked, "Are you Jing Chu?"
Upon hearing this question, Jing Chu’s exceptionally beautiful eyes trembled slightly, as if something within him was directly awakened.
A warmth surged within his heart, but this warmth was accompanied by a sour feeling.
Jing Chu slowly spoke, "It’s been a long time since anyone called me that name."
His voice was ethereal and distant, as if hiding an ancient story.
Jing Chu slowly looked up at the sky, surrounded by an endless aura of sadness.
This was the name she gave him. She saved his life, accompanied him for so long, but in the end, seemed to vanish.
Now, a hundred thousand years have passed. He awoke from his slumber, came to this continent, and sensed her presence.
"How do you know this name?"
When he was searching for her, he later didn’t like to use this name.
Because he didn’t like to hear this name from anyone else, he only liked her to use it.
So later, others called him Young Master Jing.
Wen Nanxi understood upon hearing this, that this was indeed Jing Chu.
Since it’s Jing Chu, Wen Nanxi’s guard wasn’t as strong anymore.
"Because my wife mentioned you to me."
"My wife missed you a lot as well. I didn’t expect you to still be alive."
When he was mending his Divine Soul, the Divine Soul Fragment fused into his body, and he could feel the Divine Souls of the Six Heads of the Ancient Celestial Snake merging.
His current body also had a six-headed snake form.
This means that including him, there were three avatars in total.
Besides him and Nan Feng, there was another avatar.
But this avatar never appeared.
His wife also told him about Jing Chu in the Resentment World.
But they were all unsure if, after a hundred thousand years, Jing Chu was still alive, or if the other avatar was Jing Chu or someone else; it was uncertain.
Now that he sees Jing Chu in person, he can confirm that this avatar is Jing Chu.
Jing Chu’s mind was shaken, his pupils suddenly contracted, and even his fingers trembled slightly.
She still remembered him.
Had she not forgotten him?
For a hundred thousand years, his memory of her hadn’t faded, even if he deliberately tried to forget, to lessen his own pain, to make himself feel better, he still couldn’t forget.
Just a slight mention of her, and it was as if someone cleared the fog in his mind, revealing her clear image.
It was also as if someone threw a spark into his still heart lake, instantly melting through layers of glaciers.
The first sensation was a slight tingling, and then the tingling spread from his heart
through all his meridians, rushing into his limbs and bones, even his fingertips trembled slightly.
It wasn’t anger or resentment, but a kind of instinctual thrill, like back in the forest, when the wind and snow brushed her skirt, she turned and smiled brightly at him, lighting up his heart.
It was also as if he was trapped in a tribal cave, imprisoned, and it was she who appeared, awakening him and saving him.
She was his salvation, the one he loved deeply and passionately.
He once humbled himself to implore her to stay by his side.
As long as she stayed, he would do anything for her.
But she said it wasn’t something she could control.
How could he forget her figure, her companionship was so vivid as if it happened only yesterday.
This feeling of thrill could no longer be suppressed, and Jing Chu slowly walked towards Wen Nanxi.
Wen Nanxi did not evade, he just stood there watching Jing Chu.
When he reached Wen Nanxi, Jing Chu moved his fingers, and his fingertips fell on Wen Nanxi’s chest.
"Why aren’t you moving, aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?"
Given Jing Chu’s current power, killing Wen Nanxi would be as easy as turning his hand.
Wen Nanxi spoke, "You won’t kill me."
"And even if you wanted to kill me, it wouldn’t help if I tried to escape."
Although he hadn’t used his power, his aura was unfathomable.
Wen Nanxi could tell that Jing Chu’s power far surpassed Nan Feng’s.
That was undeniable.
And it was likely that his power was unmatched, even by Nan Feng.
When he initially appeared behind him, Wen Nanxi hadn’t felt even the slightest hint of his aura.
Only when he intentionally revealed his presence did Wen Nanxi feel it.
"Moreover, you love her, don’t you?"
He could see Jing Chu’s expression when he mentioned his wife.
He loved his wife, so naturally, he understood what it meant to love someone.
So he was certain he wouldn’t harm him.
Jing Chu’s fingers slightly stiffened, "Indeed, I love her. I’ve lived until now just to find her and see her."
"So she came from a hundred thousand years in the future, and because I looked like you, she treated me well."
Jing Chu didn’t know whether to be self-mocking or grateful.
He was even somewhat jealous of Wen Nanxi.
He had received her love, became her wife, and even formed a Contract with her.
Jing Chu was so jealous he almost went mad.
It had been a long time since he had felt emotion.
Feeling his emotions at this moment, he was stunned.
The power in his fingers penetrated Wen Nanxi’s chest, revealing an Immortal Phoenix Feather mark.
It was the mark of a male belonging to his wife.
Right next to the feather, there was a small snake tail mark that made Jing Chu’s pupils tremble violently, "Child."
"She has your child."
Jing Chu murmured, almost in disbelief.
He stared straight at Wen Nanxi, and at this moment, his eyes showed killing intent.
Wen Nanxi did not deny it.
"Did you force her?"
In his anger, Jing Chu’s aura surged with a sharp momentum, as if transformed into Wind Blades, directly slicing through the surrounding trees.
"Boom..."
Countless trees fell, startling numerous birds into flight.
Wen Nanxi gained a deeper understanding of Jing Chu’s power, and his expression grew solemn.
He could be certain that even with the Divine Soul integrated, and having some of the Snake God’s memory, he was still not a match for Jing Chu.
He wasn’t afraid, but he couldn’t die here.
He spoke, "It’s not so."
Jing Chu’s Wind Blade aura moved, and a few strands of hair beside Wen Nanxi’s cheek were sliced off, carried away by the wind.
His exceptionally beautiful eyes glinted with a dark and sharp chill, "Do you know, being just an avatar of the Ancient Celestial Snake, incomplete, and now with her pregnant, what great risks are involved?"
"Normally, only a complete being can allow a female to conceive."
"And only females with extremely strong Fertility can birth the Beastlings of an Ancient Celestial Snake Beastman."
