Chapter 654 West Emperor's Promise

Wei Yuanjun stepped onto the snow-covered stone steps of Longhu Mountain, one step at a time. In truth, her feet, clad in thin-soled boots, barely touched the black steps carved into the winding mountainside, only lightly treading on the snowflakes. Yet, she appeared to walk with solidity, determination, and composure.

In one hand, she carried the divine long spear forged by the Fire God Zhurong himself. A light blue ribbon fluttered in the evening northern wind, tied to her black hair. Her dark eyes reflected the mountain's moonlight and the lights below, like two ignited flames. Her expression was resolute, reminiscent of Lin Chong, the Leopard Head, braving the wind and snow at the Mountain God Temple.

But in reality, she simply wanted to prevent her parents' feelings from escalating.

Wuzhiqi followed behind, bored.

Each step left a dark, deep footprint on the white snow of the stairs.

If it were a fist-to-fist brawl with Wei Yuan, or a scheme, a backstab, even a co-op game, Wuzhiqi would show that guy what a greatsword stopping a dragon chariot was all about, igniting his fighting spirit. But this development felt like something out of those eight o'clock soap operas.

The second female lead, with her lackey, went to disrupt the romantic atmosphere of the male and female leads in a scenic setting.

And now, Wuzhiqi, the Great Sage, was this lackey who wouldn't even qualify for a role in the most cliché dramas.

A super-candle that shattered the beautiful atmosphere between the male and female leads.

An extra A, cursed loudly by countless viewers.

"I say, do you really want to stop them that much? If you don't want to take care of 'yourself', you can actually live here on Longhu Mountain. Nuwa is here, and there are many blessed lands around Longhu Mountain. There's more than enough room for you, no problem at all."

"Shh—, silence."

Wei Yuanjun put a finger to her lips, her large, dark eyes widening slightly, like two flames burning inside—

She saw Wei Yuan and Jue.

Then, like a thief, she immediately hid. The fact that she had been able to hide in the mundane world for so long without being found wasn't just luck. In the realm of concealing her presence and hiding, Wei Yuanjun had very, very high attainments. Of course, a bigger reason might be that in such a scene and atmosphere, the Yuanshi Tianzun had already lost his mind.

The flow of cause and effect did not detect malice, nor did it remind him.

Wei Yuanjun hid on a rock on the side of the mountain, staring at the two people over there, then raised the spear with her right hand.

The atmosphere was really good.

So good that she couldn't wait to stab her old man down the mountain with a steel fork.

Wei Yuan's brain stopped working for a moment, like an old clock with a wind-up mechanism. Originally, this clock should have been a precise machine meshing with time, but now every gear inside was covered in rust, and these rust stains now seemed to carry the flavor of a sea of flowers and the setting sun.

"Wha, what?"

Wei Yuan stammered.

Jue's outfit today wasn't the light and airy clothes she usually wore. Today was for 'stocking up,' so she had to play the part. She wore sleek black clothes, well-tailored, undoubtedly from the hands of the Water Gods. A white shirt, and her black hair was styled in a more dignified way, revealing her slender neck. There was a jade accessory at the collar, understated yet complementing her temperament.

When she looked at Wei Yuan, her eyes were flushed with a rosy color.

"That is, the Tu Shan Clan is actually just a front."

"Actually, our formal engagement, is that right?"

The girl under the moonlight turned to look at him, her black hair smooth, bathed in moonlight, the redness in her eyes bright, like a dignified Valkyrie, awe-inspiring and inviolable. Those black eyes looked at Wei Yuan, without the slightest retreat, almost like the Spear of Longinus being thrust out.

Wei Yuan opened his mouth, then suddenly deflated, scratching his head: "Yes."

"Actually, I didn't want to deceive you, just, just I wanted to give you a surprise..." Wei Yuan's voice became lower and lower, and he realized that only the person involved was qualified to evaluate whether what you did was a shock or a surprise. But when he made this decision, he never thought about the possibility that Jue would refuse.

"A proposal."

The girl, who had just been as stern as the north wind, suddenly seemed to take a step back. She examined Wei Yuan's slightly flushed face, then turned around, looking at the scenery in front. Wei Yuanjun's heart, which had been raised, suddenly relaxed. Then she suddenly realized that she couldn't move. She lowered her head. The harsh northern wind was entwined with frost and snow.

Like a mother in the human world would tie her crawling children to her waist with soft cloth to prevent them from falling.

Now, these winds and snow were wrapped around Wei Yuanjun's ankles.

It wasn't just Wei Yuan who had been too focused and ignored the changes in the outside world, but also her.

Wei Yuanjun's face slowly froze, feeling this gentle yet tenacious wind and snow rope. Jue's strength was undoubtedly not as strong as hers, and the chains transformed from the flowing wind were just very ordinary spells, but, but if she wanted to break free from these ropes, she would definitely make enough noise and sound, then Wei Yuan would notice the sound, and everything would be exposed.

When did she...

The girl over there folded her hands slightly, her light pink nails gently hooking her cuffs, which made her look a bit older. She took a deep breath of the cold wind on Longhu Mountain. She thought for a while, and said, "The contracts of the human world, marriage, getting married, actually, the establishment of these things wasn't so much related to emotions at the beginning."

"In the earliest barbaric era, the conclusion of such a contract was, one, for the reproduction of the race, which is something imprinted in the instincts of living beings, and the other was that the era was too dangerous, and relying on one person would make life very difficult. And if you were injured, you would have no source of food and would inevitably weaken."

"Weakness would lead to not being able to catch prey, which would lead to a death spiral whose ultimate purpose is death."

"So in order to survive, in order to better resist all kinds of risks in life, people had contracts like marriage. It was like this for a very long time. Only after a very, very long time, when people's lives didn't have to be so desperate, did they discover that this contract didn't seem to be just for survival. It was given more things."

The girl looked at the Taoist next to her: "For example, so-called affection, for example, to fight against the loneliness of one person."

"Fight against loneliness..."

This was a very grand proposition. Wei Yuan sometimes wondered, when Dijun sat alone at the edge of the world, his enemies were endless, and under his feet were the stars that were already incredibly grand and vast in the eyes of mortals, would he feel lonely sitting there, suppressing the years alone?

In order to find powerful enemies who can stimulate the spirit.

And this word was not unfamiliar to Wei Yuan. Longevity was not entirely lonely. He could meet other longevity people. After three or five hundred years of closed-door cultivation, he could still travel to the North Sea in the morning and to the Cangming Sea in the evening. At night, he could drink a pot or two of wine with friends, bragging and saying that this family's wine was not as good as his great-grandfather's three hundred years ago.

Another reply: Ah, yes, yes, yes, it's not even close to the ancestor master five hundred years ago.

Then they raised their glasses together to drink wine, reminiscing about the scenery of the past, so handsome that they were going to die, without any loneliness at all.

The real loneliness was like Wei Yuan, constantly reincarnating. The friends, good friends, teachers, colleagues, comrades-in-arms he knew, who had once drunk wine together, rode horses together, conquered the world, and made vows not to betray this life, but decades later, those friends were all silent in the soil, and Wei Yuan forgot everything, like washing away stains on clothes, and started a new reincarnation again.

He sometimes went to tombs, looking at Zhang Liang's tomb, Liu Bang's tomb, Liu Bei's memorial tablet, recalling the years when they had spoken together. He was no longer wearing the gray clothes, long shirts, and Taoist robes of the past. Tourists around him came and went, taking pictures of everything with their mobile phones turned off, coming in a hurry, and then rushing to another person's life in the guide's cadenced voice.

Wei Yuan felt that if it weren't for the state of being lost in the womb every time he reincarnated.

He might have been completely lost in these reincarnations.

And now he had actually just been swallowing these feelings of loneliness with his own state of mind, like countless waters converging into an abyss. As long as he didn't recall it, as long as he continued to move forward, then there wouldn't be any problems, and nothing would be able to shake his mind.

And the girl in front of him said to herself:

"I don't know if you have this feeling, Yuan. I have been looking for the whereabouts of the Queen Mother of the West, so I have also been to many places, places that the Queen Mother and I had been to before. Every time I went to a place, I could feel that time was too cruel to people. The Queen Mother and I once lived as honored guests in the imperial palace of the Han Dynasty emperor in the human world for a period of time."

"But now the house I once lived in has become ruins, and the pavilion where I once chatted with the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has become a tourist attraction. I watched the pedestrians come and go, and there were girls the same age as her in Han clothes posing in very beautiful poses, and their companions were taking pictures of them. They smiled happily, just like my friends back then."

"I almost felt out of place. Someone asked me if I wanted to take pictures, if I wanted to follow the guide, saying that these ancient palaces didn't have the professional knowledge of the guide's introduction. Coming here was actually no different from not coming. I couldn't tell them that I was more familiar with this place than you were."

"The craftsman who personally built this place introduced the layout of the palace to me in person. I walked on the mossy bridge, and if I sprinkled a handful of fish food, hundreds of koi would float to the surface to grab food. The fish selected by the royal family were completely different from those fish in the classics that are fed sweet bread and have fat heads and big ears..."

Jue stood on the mountainside, her right hand on the railing of the Yaoyue Pavilion, and said, "The human world is just a place that I have briefly experienced. The people I once knew, the friends I met, have disappeared in history. They didn't even leave their names in history. Originally, I could only feel loneliness here."

"I think you should be the same, Yuan."

"But for me, this human world still has more meaning."

"I still remember you carrying me on your back during the Spring and Autumn Period, following behind Confucius and the others. I remember that you saved me in the Qin Dynasty, and I also saved you. You took out the bronze thumb ring as the agreement at that time, saying that when I was in danger in the future, you would definitely appear by my side. I remember the expression you had when you first wanted to think of a name for me."

Wei Yuan suddenly felt that the atmosphere was different.

Something called solemnity and solemnity appeared in the eyes of the girl in front of him. She didn't know when it started, but she was facing him directly. The well-tailored black clothes on her body seemed to be hidden in the night, and then she was covered in the starlight and moonlight. The corners of her eyes were flushed, and her fair face was so beautiful that it was unreal. Then she took out her half of the bronze thumb ring.

The thumb ring tied with a red rope hung down.

The girl looked at him with her eyes and said seriously: "I am the god of Kunlun Mountain. I don't want to inherit my bloodline. The life of the human world is no longer as dangerous as it used to be. The contract of marriage is actually worthless, but I also think it is very valuable, because you are my past, the figure who has truly been by my side in my long years."

"The life span of gods is unimaginably long, and perhaps there is no end. When one day, even our current flower shop and museum will become ruins, and the ruins will become rumors, and then disappear into history, like a ripple. The former friends and neighbors no longer exist. Every trace of our life will disappear, but I hope you will still be by my side at that time."

"Even if what awaits at the end of the endless life of the gods is silence and loneliness without the slightest ripple."

"I also hope to walk with you to that time."

"This is the promise of the West Emperor of Kunlun Mountain, and also the contract of the gods."

Finally, the girl raised her hand and took off the hairpin. The dignified black hair that had been tied up was scattered behind her like splashed ink, or like a sudden night descending, all the way to her waist. Wei Yuan could smell the fragrance of her hair, and the eyes of the girl in front of him were bright and gentle. Her voice was clear and candid: "Please witness the day when the world grows old with me."

Hey, hey, hey, that's not right, that's not right.

Why does this seem like the atmosphere of a man kneeling down and saying, "Please marry me?"

This, this, this, it's reversed.

It's reversed!

I should be saying this!

Wei Yuan's heart beat wildly. An unbelievably beautiful girl was here saying to you, "I want to be with you, to see the traces of our lives become history, to see the day when the world grows old and the oceans wither, to see the deepest and most eternal silence in the universe."

With such romantic words full of divine aura, Wei Yuan's defenses collapsed in an instant.

He reached out and groped, but his arms only had Zhang Ruosu's habit, White Rabbit Creamy Candy. He had to crudely pinch a ring out of the White Rabbit Creamy Candy wrapper. The girl in front of him stretched out her hand, and Wei Yuan's hand trembled as he put the ring on her. When he looked up, he saw the girl in front of him looking down, her eyes full of brilliance, and her lips were as warm and moist as a layer of water in the moonlight.

The sweet smell of White Rabbit Creamy Candy filled the air.

The atmosphere was warm and quiet. Wei Yuan leaned over gently and approached the girl's lips. The girl lowered her eyes, and her gentle breath was already gently brushing against his cheeks.

Closer and closer.

Until a loud shout broke the beautiful atmosphere, Wei Yuanjun finally couldn't bear it anymore.

You, you, you—

What are you doing in front of your daughter!

"No way!"

The golden spear blade whistled at a terrifying frequency, making a sound like an angry dragon, and then tore through the wind and snow of the mountain, drawing a golden, brilliant streamer. Wei Yuanjun rushed out with a flushed face. She no longer cared whether she would be discovered, shattered the chains of the northern wind, and then the long spear directly pierced towards Wei Yuan, breaking this atmosphere.

Wei Yuan raised his hand and grabbed the tip of the spear. The huge force directly controlled Wei Yuanjun's body.

But the cold wind and snow blowing on his face still made Wei Yuan come back to his senses. He also felt regret and regret in his heart, but the atmosphere just now was probably impossible to go back to. At this moment, suddenly a hand gently pulled his collar, then down, and then a gentle and moist touch came from his cheek.

Wei Yuan's movements froze.

Jue took two small steps back, then blushed, shook the hand with the White Rabbit Creamy Candy ring, and even her eyes were filled with a smile, and said:

"Next time, at the Tu Shan Clan."

"Don't make me take the initiative."

Then she turned around and left step by step, treading on the flowing wind, fluttering like the snow swirling in the wind, perhaps the poem that appeared for today.

Wei Yuanjun opened her mouth, feeling very defeated. She glanced at the stagnant Wei Yuan, pulled out her spear and chased after Jue. Wuzhiqi shook his head at Wei Yuan. This guy was stupid. Fighting now was also meaningless. Such a good Tianzun, why was he stupid?

And Wei Yuan stood here, only coming back to his senses when the sun rose. He shook his body, and then made the same reaction as when the scumbag snake got Nuwa's gift—

I want to use cause and effect to cycle and bind what just happened, and never forget it!

Never!

Then he got the Kirin's message—

'Hey, hey, is that Senior Brother Yuan?'

'Zhuque, Zhuque has been contacted!'
