Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1484: Chapter 869: Envelopment

The first one to be enveloped was Jiang Chenyu, and in her eyes was a sense of melancholy, along with the tranquility that follows fulfilled desires.

Next was Viper, and in Viper’s eyes was desire; her desire was to break through the thousand-year limit, to transform from human to snake, from snake to dragon!

That way she could gain another thousand years of life, or even several thousand...

Truly transcending the foolish and lowly identity of the Human Race...

Then it was the Dragon King, and in the Dragon King’s eyes was a light, a kind of wild ambition and ferocity shining through chaotic primal wildness.

After that, it was Sui Yi.

A hundred-meter coverage, then a thousand-meter in the blink of an eye, then occupying the entire Peach Blossom Source...

No one could escape such a speed of coverage, nor evade the vast will of that emperor.

Sui Yi did not dodge, nor did she resist, yet she heard Gu Sansi whisper gently in her ear.

"This storm of will... I wonder what this primordial emperor of the Human Realm will show us... If there’s anything inappropriate for children..."

Gu Sansi said deeply, "Make sure to tell me where, so I can fast forward to watch it."

To be honest, such words suddenly came out.

The train of thought is really quite something.

Inappropriate for children... rolling in the sheets?

With whom is Sui Yi with?

Sui Yi was at a loss for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "I thought you knew everything about me..."

Since long ago, Cangwu was sent by that person to her hands, knowing everything about her like the back of one’s hand?

Sui Yi just said something casually, but never expected Gu Sansi to respond with this.

"Everything? The noble person of the Imperial Crown, at least when you bathe, Cangwu doesn’t dare to look, and Cangwu’s power has always avoided the dignity of the Imperial Crown."

"So, is there anything inappropriate?"

As a subordinate, being so aggressive.

It can only prove she is currently weak.

Always felt like a form of revenge, yet she hadn’t done anything.

Could it be that Lord Cangwu just happened to lend Lord Ye a hand with a broken fragment and got led astray?

Sui Yi glanced at her lightly, and said, "I don’t know, the things with him before... I can’t remember too clearly... maybe there is..."

Then Gu Sansi’s expression turned dark.

On the other side, Jiang Chenyu’s face also turned somewhat unsightly.

On another side, Gong Jiu and others were completely out of sorts!

Ye Zixu, Yi Chilian, all together, all at once showed a unified expression—(#‵′)!

Maybe there is, rolling in the sheets?

I’ll fast forward to watch!

To be honest, just one indifferent statement caused an indiscriminate attack, directly emptying the health bars of the enemy and us alike... in the entire world, only the Sect Master Teacher’s family, no other franchise!

And that serene, deathly still Peach Blossom Source... Liliu, sitting on a stone, was very aware of the affairs over by the house. As a Void-breaking, her Perceptive Power was too strong, every breeze and movement was known to her, so when the storm of will came, she opened her eyes and saw the Little Golden Crow grinning at her...

Confused, she had never seen a crow with an expression... and such an indecent expression at that!

It’s not some third-dimensional comic bird...

Liliu felt uneasy, but did not resist the storm of will; her brow furrowed, she entered into that vast and void Will Void.

The emperor... was he her lover?

She really must take a look.

If there’s any black history... she could use it to threaten him in the future.

Alright, when the storm of will swept through the Peach Blossom Source, that space was perfectly isolated.

As if time halted, space isolated.

No force, by any satellite of Mars or Venus, was able to capture any image.

And those outside the highway only saw a vast expanse of white light covering the previously ravaged battlefield.

Far away in the Cherry Snow Forest... Pu Qinghan suddenly felt a heart palpitation, the script in her hand clattered to the ground, and she turned to look in a direction.

That was the place she had passed by before and almost got into danger; she remembered Sui Yi’s admonition, haunted by past fears, so she hadn’t wanted to approach since coming to Cherry Snow Forest.

But now there was a scene that required them to go there.

She suddenly felt the palpitations, was it because of that?

Regardless of her apprehension, it was something she couldn’t speak of to outsiders, Pu Qinghan could only blame herself for not inquiring closely about the filming location earlier. Since there were no objections before, it’s too late now to say anything, she might as well just go.

A group moved mightily towards Life Dragon Long Lake...

Upon reaching the Life Dragon Long Lake, Pu Qinghan’s unease intensified, and she felt increasingly uncomfortable, yet she still suppressed it and began filming...

"Qinghan, just a bit further, stand right there by the lake, yes, yes... Famous Cheng, you get a little closer..."

The renowned director was instructing from the side, and the award-winning actors quickly took their positions...

Once Pu Qinghan began acting, she forgot herself, leaving just a sliver of her mind to guard against the adjacent lake...

But the third actor in the scene repeatedly failed to enter the role, always causing an NG...

This left the award-winning actress in a difficult position, as this third actor was a newcomer, she has always been lenient, didn’t say anything, and only endured it...

"You seem very troubled, is there anywhere you’re feeling unwell?"

When on the side, Cheng Lin softly inquired, Pu Qinghan was emotionally intelligent, and these days of intense acting, she felt Cheng Lin’s thoughts. She previously kept him at a distance, but it was not good to drag it on... There were so many people in the crew, and these days more and more were looking at her differently.

"It’s fine... It should be because the person who can make me feel at ease is not here."

Pu Qinghan spoke slowly, not really lying, indeed, this was also from her heart.

That person... truly put people at ease.

If she were here, even if she was dragged by that dreadful exotic beast into the deep waters of the lake, she would not be afraid.

If she were here....

Pu Qinghan’s thoughts wandered far for a moment, thus she didn’t notice Cheng Lin’s momentary realization and sadness.

This was considered a rejection.

Should he continue?

Why not.

He liked this person... even loved, already indescribable, just worrying about burdening her with some troubles, if he didn’t even have the room to care for her a little...

How bitter it would be for him.

Cheng Lin sighed inwardly, but he smiled appropriately, choosing not to converse further... Instead, he went over to guide the newcomer proactively, perhaps this could ease that person’s worries.

Pu Qinghan was unaware that she was rejecting someone’s adoration, whereas some of her friends were caught in... a storm of memories.

Whose memories?

The one who brings comfort, the Sect Master?

Uh...

No matter whose memories, under this passive recollection, all memories were played backwards from the final scene, from the scene of death to the past, then to before, finally to the bygone days...

When Ye Zui, having resided overseas for many years, found herself on Linlin River under the night sky, below was an isolated boat adrift, with flickering lights within.

Her first reaction was: if these were the emperor’s memories, why would such a small boat be so humble?

Her second reaction was — the emperor is shaking the boat? With whom?

Her third reaction — with her?

Her soul was involuntarily pulled down by a force...

Indeed, she saw a familiar face, only now its gaze was blurred and weary, and its gender indistinct... but truly as stunning as her true self, yet pressed beneath a woman, the clothes caught and pulled open, garments scattered below the bed, the slender and delicate frame wrapped within white garments, complemented by the brown-red soft quilt on the bed, enhancing the fair skin and red lips...

The emperor is a woman?

Her hand landed on that person’s waist, just about to untie the last satin band, the person underneath spoke softly, clutching her.

"Ah Zui... don’t leave."

This voice was light as snowflakes, thin as paper, bearing unapologetic pain and inextricable solitude.

She fell asleep, the person above her remained silent, fingers holding the band relaxed, seeming utterly exhausted and cautiously lay beside her, not releasing her hand, just lying sideways, watching the person tiredly asleep.

Her sleeping face so serene, tranquil.

Giving her an illusion, as if she weren’t poisoned by her design... but rather feeling at ease.

At ease? At ease sleeping beside her?

Chu Yezui silently gazed at the person before her.

Her highness.

All these years, her figure had become considerably thin, particularly that hand, slender and distinctly boned, held by another... this hand was cold, yet felt warm from holding it for so long...

She tried to retract her hand, only to find fingers intertwined, tightly connected.

This moment of realization made her pupils flush red, then painfully curl up her body.

Ten years had passed, the person who led her soul astray still could provide warmth, this was a calamity, she couldn’t escape...

But she also realized, if her highness didn’t wish to grasp her hand ten years ago and left, now even though she was willing... her hand was so cold, so unclean...

If she could only draw warmth from her, yet taint her purity...

How should she proceed?

"If there wasn’t a beginning... it should have ended on the day of our wedding ten years ago... if time truly treated me harshly... let me never meet you again in the next life.... if we meet again... may I never recall you..."

"This way, you would also be spared some difficulty."

One by one, fingers separated...

She got up.

Left the bed.

She took paper and pen from the cabinet...

Writing for a moment, she laid down the pen.

Picked up the wine pot on the table, the spout touched her lips, the intoxicating and lethal wine slid down her throat... carrying the fragrance, it made her eyes slightly drunk, walked a few steps, then turned back, went over... leaned above her, lowered her head, about to touch her forehead, but the motion paused there, the wine seeming to congeal in her eyes, crystalline yet scorching, on the verge of falling...

Finally, she just closed her eyes, pursed her lips, turned her face, letting tears fall onto the cold ground, she carried the wine pot, staggered past the curtain, and came to the deck, sitting at the bow of the boat.

She gazed at the bright moon and dotted starlight, falling into the lake, sparkling...

The wine pot was empty.

She placed the wine pot at the bow, silent for a moment, then loosened both hands.

The lake water was cold, yet due to the drunkenness and poison of the wine, it numbed everything, her only perception was the splendid dream through the water’s surface, of the moon and stars.

Hidden within her eyes, sinking into her heart.

Unknowingly, she seemed to return to the ten years of chaos and pain...
