Chapter 280: Junxie Has Changed

Han Moze led the group for an entire night, as his heart grew colder and colder.

He looked out at the first light of day on the skyline with a worried look on his face.

Shuang’er, where are you?

At the Demon Palace on the Edge of Heaven…

Liu Rushuang slightly opened her beautiful eyes and found herself in bed, staring at several glowing light blue crystals in a large cyan-grey room.

She was stunned for a split-second but immediately leapt out of bed and rushed to the door. Then, she walked down dozens of flights of stairs.

There was an equally large room with a foot tall platform with engraved, jade colored, flower etchings. Junxie was seated in a cross-legged position in meditation and practicing martial arts with a black fog that encircled him.

Liu Rushuang scanned the entire room and realized that the walls black fog covered the stone walls.

It looked like there were enchantment circles on each and every door.

Liu Rushuang furrowed her brows and walked over to the fog-covered stone doors. She summoned strength from her whole body and attacked it with her palms, but the stone doors didn’t move an inch.

Junxie moved both his hands, causing the fog to gradually disappear around him. He opened his eyes and walked over to Liu Rushuang. “Phoenix, won’t you stay by my side? I’ll give you whatever you want,” he said with a faint smile.

Liu Rushuang looked over at the same captivating and handsome face that she had seen as a child. Junxie had a lonely and dark aura about him. “Junxie, won’t you quit going about things the wrong way? I know that you don’t really love me. You purely want to possess me to beat Ice Dragon and Demon Fox. Hasn’t your persistence done enough serious damage? Junxie, I hope you don’t continue down this wrong path. It’s not too late to turn back now. I believe you can definitely defeat your own demons,” she said with a kind smile.

Junxie furrowed her brows in deep thought for a moment. “I can’t let you go. I really like you. In this Demon Palace without sunlight, you’re the only person who truly makes me happy. I need you,” he said.

Liu Rushuang furrowed her brows. “If you truly love me, then let me go. Alright? Ice Dragon is the one I love, not you.”

Junxie forced a smile. “Phoenix, what do you want? I can get it for you. The only thing I can’t do is let you go.”

Liu Rushuang gritted her teeth and furrowed her brows, then fought the urge to hit Junxie. He was being practically out of order!

In the past, Junxie would do anything to make her happy. But now, he was forcefully holding her captive.

Junxie, when will you wake up?

Liu Rushuang took a deep breath and asked in a chilling voice, “How is Ice Dragon right now? I want to see him.”

Junxie looked considerably annoyed. “Alright, I’ll take you to see him,” he said through gritted teeth, after some hesitation.

With that said, he picked up Liu Rushuang flew up like a tornado and out of the humongous Demon Palace.

The thick layers of clouds appeared before her eyes, but there were no signs of sunlight.

On ground, the natural landscape of mountains, grass, trees, and rivers looked murky.

The only source of light came from the Demon Palace, which was covered all over in a light blue glow.

Junxie carried Liu Rushuang and flew up into the clouds. Then, after some time had passed, they reached over Yulan City.

Liu Rushuang spotted Han Moze looking for her in the valley and her eyes couldn’t help but turn red. Ze must be worried to death about her.

“Junxie, won’t you let me talk to Ice Dragon? Also, could you let Ice Dragon go?”

Junxie looked down at Liu Rushuang’s red eyes but didn’t say a word.

Liu Rushuang stared right into Junxie’s eyes. “Junxie, you’ve changed. You’re not the same Junxie who used to let me do what I wanted.”

Junxie slightly shook his head and said, “No, I’m the same Junxie as before.”
