Chapter 1404: Chapter 45 Choice_3

“My husband…”

The dark clouds gradually gathered.

Yet in the old woman’s eyes, there was no one else.

Step by step, she walked towards the man.

With each step, her face and body became a few years younger.

Her withered white hair turned jet black, her hunched body straightened.

...

As she stepped through the void, approaching the man’s corpse, thunder leapt among the clouds.

Her dignified posture seemed to steal all the light in the world.

Only this way, it seemed, could she forget the past slaughter, could she have the courage to approach the man.

She gently extended her finger, touching the man’s face, her voice soft as a whisper:

“Why did you only return now?”

She caressed the man.

The skin, tainted by Yuanci, seemed still to retain its past softness.

And seemed to still be somewhat warm.

She could not help but step forward, greedily holding the man tight.

Closing her eyes and all superfluous sensations.

She only wanted to hold this familiar person for the last time, just one last time.

And on Yuchen’s body, countless forces of Yuanci, at this moment, seemed to sense something and dissipated like smoke.

With the fading of the Yuanci force,

A nearly invisible transparent phantom, as if unsealing a curse, floated out from the top of Yuchen’s head.

He looked around blankly, seemingly at a loss for everything around him.

Seeing this phantom,

Daoist Yuanci not far away and Qin Lingxiao, who had regained control of his flesh, both couldn’t help but show a shocked look.

“Is this… the senior Yuchen?”

“A remnant soul?”

This nearly transparent remnant soul quickly set its gaze upon the equally ethereal Li Yuehua.

“Yuehua?”

At this moment, he seemed to finally remember something, lowering his head to look at his increasingly transparent body.

A moment of realization crossed his eyes.

“…Am I already dead?”

“It is due to the forces of Yuanci that a shred of my remnant soul was preserved until now…”

In his eyes, there was no fear of death,

but he subconsciously looked at Li Yuehua, who had closed her eyes, across a deep tenderness and remorse in his gaze.

As if sensing something,

Li Yuehua subconsciously opened her eyes.

Upon seeing the remnant soul before her, her eyes were stunned, filled with disbelief:

“My husband…”

Yuchen gently stretched out his hand, lightly caressing her face.

The illusory fingers, however, passed right through.

He looked at her carefully.

Watching every little change in her face, her hair, her eyes.

Both familiar and strange.

He finally couldn’t resist speaking.

His voice was like the warm sun of March, seemingly instantly illuminating her world:

“These years, you must have been through a lot all by yourself, haven’t you?”

Hearing this voice, Li Yuehua laughed and cried.

She couldn’t say a word.

Just shaking her head, shaking her head, then nodding repeatedly.

She couldn’t help but wanting to step forward, to grasp his hand, to tell him that she was doing well.

But in front of her mighty Primordial Spirit, even if it was only a small portion, it was like a blazing sun, causing Yuchen’s remnant soul to melt away swiftly like ice and snow.

She hurriedly stepped back.

However, Yuchen’s remnant soul did not mind, smiling gently as he stepped forward and embraced Li Yuehua.

Stroking her jet-black hair.

Allowing his last remaining soul quickly towards obliteration.

His voice, still as gentle as before, filled with a deep apology:

“I have to leave… To be able to say goodbye to you properly before leaving, truly, I am fortunate.”

“But it’s rather unfair to you…”

His fingers reached out again towards her eyes, seemingly wanting to gently wipe away the glistening tear.

But just as the fingers were about to touch, they dispersed like smoke and clouds.

Then his arm, body… And finally, that face still with a hint of apology.

And the lingering sound that slowly faded:

“…Make sure to live well, to live really well.”

Among the clouds, lightning flickered.

Li Yuehua stared blankly at the dissipated remnant soul in front of her and her husband’s corpse that vanished with it.

Life is like a grand dream.

The bottom of a dark cave, the hurried passage of ten thousand years.

All the waiting, today, finally had a response.

She had imagined that the man before her had left heartlessly, thought that he might be trapped somewhere, speculated all the possibilities.

She went mad for it, succumbed to demons, was obsessive and delirious…

But upon seeing the man before her, she finally realized that everything was but a dream.

All her obsessions, too, grew silent at this moment.

“So, it’s been more than ten thousand years already…”

With a soft sigh.

Li Yuehua’s somewhat sharp features subtly softened.

Her countenance also became more gentle in the silence.

She lifted her head, allowing the lightning to brighten behind her.

Her gaze swept past the ravaged Yuanci Palace, then fell upon Daoist Yuanci, saying softly:

“Wait for me here for a while.”

Then she looked towards Qin Lingxiao, her tone carrying a bit more pleading:

“Child, can I borrow your body for a bit?”

Neither Daoist Yuanci nor Qin Lingxiao dared to refuse, hastily nodding their heads in agreement.

After a deep look at Daoist Yuanci, Li Yuehua’s phantom turned into a beam of light, entering Qin Lingxiao’s body.

The thunderclouds in the sky immediately dissipated.

Next moment, she flew directly towards the direction of Yuanci Palace.

The Yuanci Two Saints, now holding the relics left by Weichi Xi, were silent.

Having been together since birth, they cultivated together, lived together, and after thousands of years of companionship, today’s Shocking Change left the two remaining how to bear?

So much so that they completely missed what had happened to Li Yuehua.
