Transcending the Nine Heavens

, his heart trembled yet again, as if the softest and most vulnerable part of his heart had been triggered.
In that instant, he seemed to somewhat understand how Tie Butian must have felt.

‘The sky darkens in the autumn breeze and setting sun, and after a great many changes in the world, one is left alone to ponder.
She lightly bemoans that heroes let one down too often, and a woman’s heart that goes through innumerable twists and turns.’

When he recalled this poem, a teenage emperor in golden robes and donning the royal crown seemed to appear in front of Chu Yang again.
She held her hands behind her back, looking down upon the world with a dignified bearing and reigning over the nation.

Yet when this teenage emperor turned and glanced over, the sorrow and loneliness those eyes held…

“Sigh…” Chu Yang heaved a long sigh.
“I once thought that I had left with no restraints and without anything weighing me down, not knowing that I had thrown away my roots and wasn’t even aware.
I once thought that I had a clear conscience and that I had bestowed kindness upon others, not knowing that I had owed a whole slew of debts instead…’She lightly bemoans that heroes let one down too often, and a woman’s heart that goes through innumerable twists and turns’; I’m not a hero but how many people have I let down? Tie Butian, I had only thought that you were referring to me toward Qianqian at that time.
I never expected that the one you were talking about was yourself.”

He gritted his teeth lightly, thinking to himself, “When I see that bastard again, I’m going to spank her bottom so hard! Actually hiding something so important from me…”

When his thoughts reached this part, Chu Yang started to stew again.
He muttered, “Without me, how the hell are you going to give birth! Actually keeping mum about it! …Seriously intolerable…”

As he thought about it, he became somewhat perplexed again.

Tie Butian… I’ve suspected that she was a woman and even observed her secretly a few times.
But every time I did, I saw that she’s clearly a man, wasn’t she… With an Adam’s apple, no breast and no butt… How did she suddenly become a woman…

Minister Chu was a little mournful.

Damn, that fellow would have been pretty handsome if she were a man.
But as a woman… She’s probably definitely going to be flat-chested… This, cough, is a little on the losing end…

And my child… I wonder how old is he? And what does he look like?

As his thoughts ran wild and messy, a loud sound drifted over from the gates.
A snow sled stopped in front of the gateway.

Feng Yurou and Yue Lingxue slowly got off the sled.

After much effort and strain, the two of them had finally walked down Mount Xingyun with Wu Juecheng in tow.
It was easy to go up the mountain but difficult to come down, and it was especially precarious after snowing.

Moon Breeze was only able to move about temporarily; they were far from recovering their cultivation and being able to activate their internal energy.
They really couldn’t even compare to a regular person right now.
Just the journey down the mountain alone, the two of them, together with Wu Juecheng, had almost fallen off the cliff several times…

After much effort, they finally got to the bottom of the mountain.
Only after waiting for a long time did a snow sled pass by at last.
Yue Lingxue had offered ten times the price, practically begging that merchant before he managed to buy the snow sled.
They carried Wu Juecheng onto the snow sled gingerly, as if serving their ancestors, and padded a thick layer of leather skins under him.
Only then did they hurry back to Tianji City on the snow sled.

When had Yue Lingxue ever begged anyone in his entire life? He had pretty much set a precedent today, a Revered ninth-grade Supreme Martial Artist begging a merchant… This was seriously a record-breaking first in history.

This made Yue Lingxue sigh with deep feeling, a sense of inspiration in his heart, as if he had seen through yet another facet of life.

They had a snow sled now but they couldn’t return just like that yet.

Because the battle must already have begun in Tianji City.

If they went back and participated in the battle in their current state, it was no different from sending them to their deaths.
Even a mere Revered Martial Artist would be able to easily kill these two ninth-grade peak-level Supreme Martial Artists!

In addition, they had a crucial motive in their return this time — Saving those few little fellows and getting them out of danger!

Now that they didn’t even have an ounce of strength, they were probably only left with bluffing as a solution…

And so, Yue Lingxue experienced another first in his life — Applying rouge.
Specifically, the rouge that women used.

The two of them dressed themselves up a little, changing their clothes and going back to their usual pristine appearance.
Then, they used the rouge that Feng Yurou always brought about with her and applied it on their cheeks, creating a radiant appearance at once.
Only then did they put up a pretense of leisurely ease and drove the snow sled back.

During the whole journey, now that the two of them didn’t have their cultivation to protect their bodies, they were so cold and frozen, as though little chicks whose feathers had all been plucked off and shoved into the coldest days of winter.
Yet they still had to act like they were in the pink of health and behave poetically and elegantly, their movements unrestrained and relaxed, as if ready to set the world right…

Truly elegant and refined!

In Feng Yurou’s words —”There’s no other day in their whole lives that’s more elegant than today…”

Before they had even reached the Orchard Palace, the stench of blood was already thick in the air.
Even the heavy snow couldn’t cover the thick murderous intent wafting about.

The two of them exchanged a look, both sporting wry smiles.
Then, they doubled their efforts in acting leisurely and easy, driving the snow sled amidst laughter and chatting.

That man in black had only taken a look from afar and seen the two of them, but he didn’t take a closer look.
If not, with his level of cultivation, he would surely realize that these two super experts whose awe-inspiring names resounded throughout the Nine Heavens were only two paper tigers right now.
Just a fingertip of his would be able to erase these two presences that he had to look up to usually…
