Chapter 330: He Vomited Blood

Hua Qiyue frowned and said, very displeased, “Do you guys have the habit of voyeurism?”

Tianpi gave a light snort. “I merely can’t stand you two. Since you won’t accept another man, you might as well be with him.”

Hua Qiyue’s emotions were suddenly stirred. “Who says I can’t accept another man?”

“You can? If you can, why treat Hua Zun so coldly? Why reject the others so completely?” Tianpi flatly curved up the corners of his lips. “Because I owe you too much in your former life, I won’t force you now. I will respect whoever you choose. But you don’t need to mind the past so much.”

Mind? Hua Qiyue’s face sank. In Tianyuan Continent, women regarded their chastity as more important than their lives. Could Tianpi’s mere words make her forgive the past?

Tianpi started to wave his fan coquettishly. Hua Qiyue cursed him as a nutcase. The weather was so cold and yet he was playing with her Drunken Flower Fan!

“Master, I won’t brood over the past. But Rong Qiyue was my former self. I died once before because of Yun Shimo!”

“You’re wrong. Even without Yun Shimo, Zhou Zhicheng would still hook up with other girls. He would still betray you and make you die in the hands of his women!” Tianpi said coldly. His tone was cruel and merciless!

Hua Qiyue’s bosom started to heave frantically. Tianpi suddenly chortled. “It’s been so long and you’re still thinking about it? Do you still miss Zhou Zhicheng? If not, why do you mind what happened when you were Rong Qiyue?”

“Who miss him? That wicked cad deserves to die 10,000 times. I won’t miss him at all!”

“Then let go of the past!” Tianpi’s words assaulted her relentlessly. Hua Qiyue unleashed a palm at the pool and caused a large wave to surge, splashing against the wall.

Tianpi left noiselessly.

Hua Qiyue was alone in the hot spring. The snowy-white light shone in and illuminated her face. The luminous night pearl glowed too. It was not too dim.

She had a stupefied expression on her face. She had almost gone berserk from all the thoughts.

Tianpi might be right, but she could not overcome that hurdle in her heart.

That was an entangled knot in her heart. It could never be unraveled with the passing of time— unless something crucial happened.

For the next few consecutive days, Hua Qiyue did not see Yun Shimo. He must have been too heavily injured to appear before her?

On the other hand, Tianci visited Yun Shimo’s bedroom often. Yun Shimo also brought Tianci along in his two trips to Ice City.

Later, Yun Shimo got Tianci to hand Hua Qiyue an exceptionally exquisite necklace. It was made up of 188 pearls and 188 extremely rare, red energy gems.

Hua Qiyue did not accept the necklace. She complained that it was too heavy and of no practical use.

Tianci specially mentioned that Yun Shimo made this necklace after several days of sleepless work.

Hua Qiyue gave a cold snicker. She made Tianci return the necklace to Yun Shimo and said nothing more. Tianci was upset. He had no choice but to return that gorgeous necklace to Yun Shimo.

Tianpi and Hua Zun mocked Yun Shimo over this for a few days.

Anyway, no matter how Yun Shimo tried to please Hua Qiyue, she would reject his approach. Not only did she reject, she would become even colder and harsher.

Although she could not act so harshly before Tianci, Hua Qiyue would always respond coldly in the chances Tianci created for them. Sometimes, she would not glance at or talk to Yun Shimo for a few consecutive days.

The days that followed were unexpectedly harmonious.

Neither Hua Zun nor Tianpi created any trouble for Yun Shimo. Even the Sun Moon Deity was well-behaved.

On this day, a northern wind was howling outside. Hua Qiyue glanced at the snowstorm outside the window and at the sumptuous spread on the table. It must have been Yun Shimo at work again, eh?

The company sat at the table. Tianpi and Hua Zun were chatting happily. They even teased Tianci for a while. The atmosphere had become extremely harmonious. Hua Qiyue felt it strange—Tianpi was once a devil, having veered into the Devil’s Path because of Hua Zun and his friends.

And he was trapped inside the green jade gourd for 10,000 years. Now that he had been released, why did he not resent Hua Zun at all?

If he did not resent him, Tianpi must be extraordinarily magnanimous. Perhaps he understood Hua Zun?

“Yes, a few years ago, I saw the Fiery Divine Tree… No, no… To be more precise, it was Qiyue who had seen it.” Tianpi gave a quiet smile. Hua Zun’s eyes focused. “You mean… it’s still there?”

Hua Qiyue was speechless. They could still remember this incident so long ago.

“Yes, it’s still alive. It’s the masterpiece of Peach Fairy. Why would it disappear so easily?”

Tianpi smiled and Hua Qiyue stared astounded at him. “The masterpiece of Peach Fairy? A person could refine a Fiery Divine Tree?”

“Yes. You used to be gifted in so many areas, especially in creativity. The Fiery Divine Tree is a new tree you managed to refine using the souls of three 10,000-year-old trees,” Tianpi answered with a smile. Yun Shimo’s countenance started to turn grim.

So Hua Qiyue was Tao Xian’er two lifetimes ago!

As a Qi Artist, he knew the legend of Tao Xian’er well. After all, she was one of the paramount Qi Artists in Tianyuan Continent.

There would not be another woman as astonishingly gifted and beautiful as she.

Hua Qiyue pursed her lips and was a little disappointed. “In other words, I have regressed. I am not at all creative in this life.”

“That’s true. After all, you only have her two souls, a spiritual and a physical one. If you were the complete Tao Xian’er…” Hua Zun glanced at Tianpi. If she had all the souls of Tao Xian’er, Hua Qiyue would surely have chosen Tianpi?

Tianpi’s expression in his eyes was downcast. Hua Zun glared hatefully at Yun Shimo. Yun Shimo had profited so much in this life!

Hua Qiyue pouted. She instantly felt that she had let her former self down. She was now merely adept at Qi Art, but her Qi Art was not the highest nor was she the most talented.

Tianpi watched Hua Qiyue’s exquisite little face and felt an indescribably dull pain in his heart. In the past, he could still suppress his yearning and urge to possess. But now, he was facing the real Hua Qiyue. He could no longer quite control himself.

“Hey, Uncle Tianpi, why is your face so ghastly?” Tianci pointed at Tianpi and started to yell. The others all turned to watch him.

Tianpi’s face was indeed as white as paper. He touched his cold face in some astonishment. The dull pain in his heart had intensified. A gush of warmth surged out from his heart, unable to be controlled!

Tianpi turned away in time. He retched and sprayed the crystalline wall with a mouthful of blood.

Tianci and the others stared at Tianpi, stunned. Why was Tianpi throwing up blood all of a sudden?

Tianpi glanced apologetically at Tianci. “It’s alright… I just feel a little unwell. You eat first…” With these words, Tianpi dashed out of the kitchen.

Hua Qiyue was quite full. When she saw this scene, she felt rather worried and ran after him.

Tianpi ran to the back of the Ice Palace. With one hand propped against a withered tree, he started to throw up blood again.

The blood fell on the ice and looked exceptionally glaring.

Tianci sprinted after him with a glass of water. Hua Qiyue caressed his head. “Be good, Tianci. Go back first. Grandmaster will be fine after a while.”

Tianci nodded, his large eyes clouded with worry. He scurried back and Tianpi gave a consoled smile. “There seems to be people still concern about me.”

Hua Qiyue handed him the glass of water. “Don’t talk nonsense. Rinse your mouth first. What happened?”

Tianpi took over the glass, gurgled with the water and spat out. Then, he drank the water. His hand was propped against the tree and he felt ill at ease. The more he looked at Hua Qiyue, the more he wanted to possess her!

He forced himself to turn around and say nothing. The Sun Moon Deity sauntered out from within and gave a cold snort. “He has been hurt by all the uncleared demonic energy inside his body. Tianpi, you deserve your suffering. You haven’t cleared all demonic energy inside you and yet dared to release yourself from the seal! You’ve… let all their good intentions gone down the drain!”

It was indeed true. Although his captors Bai Ling, Xuan Cuo and Yun Tian hated Tianpi for killing Tao Xian’er, they were also responsible for the mess due to their selfishness.

So the three of them tried to remedy the situation. They did not try to kill him nor were they able to. Instead, they trapped Tianpi inside the green jade gourd with a seal.

Tao Xian’er’s green jade gourd was the Tao Family’s heirloom. A person would be able to survive inside. It would become a second world for the trapped Tianpi.

No one expected Tianpi to break free from the seal the moment he recovered his powers, because of Hua Qiyue’s wedding. He had not cleared the last whiff of demonic energy inside his body.

If he had managed to, such a thing would never have happened.

“I will do what I like. You don’t need to be here, telling me what to do!”

Tianpi replied coldly. The Sun Moon Deity sneered. “You haven’t cleared all the demonic energy inside yourself. Soon, you will become a devil again! But I have a solution… Right now, your demonic energy is welling up because of your love. The more you love, the more intense the demonic energy. If Hua Qiyue marries you, she will be able to clear you of your demonic energy with her constitution. The Eight-horned Demon Dragon hadn’t lost its sanity in the past because of the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead in its body.”

Hua Qiyue’s heart immediately sank. “Is this the only solution?”

The Sun Moon Deity nodded. “Of course. It’s the only way for Tianpi to retain his sanity. If you are not willing to marry him, he will… retread his former path!”

Tianpi heard him and hit out a palm on the withered tree in rage. The snow on the tree instantly melted into water droplets and the trunk disintegrated into dust.

“I can control it. I don’t need you to worry for me, you stinking bird!”

The Sun Moon Deity’s face flushed red and white by turns. It hated anyone who called it a bird. An earth-shattering oppressive aura dashed out from its body and hurtled toward Tianpi!

In the twinkling of an eye, the two were engaged in a combat. As they slugged out at each other, the mountains quaked and the earth trembled. Mountains and rivers were shaken.

Although Tianpi had vomited blood, he was still very strong in his combat prowess. After 20 moves, neither side won. Their fight attracted Tianci, Hua Zun and the others to the scene.

Hua Zun stood at Tianpi’s side and was about to intervene when they stopped. They were panting strenuously. Tianpi’s robe was drenched in blood.

He knitted his brows, trying his best to not look at Hua Qiyue. He turned and headed for Ice City.

In a short while, Tianpi disappeared from the sight of everyone.

Hua Qiyue was extremely anxious. After entrusting Tianci to one of the men, she went hurriedly after him.

But Yun Shimo pulled her back. His face was so grim that it looked frightful. “He left for Ice City so as not to see you.”
