ACER-Chapter 34: It Was All for Him

After knocking both of them unconscious, Di Yange only took Luo Ziyin with her. It was easy to imagine how furious Xiao Jue, who was left behind by her, would be.

But Xiao Jue was already in Golden Core Stage, he would only be unconscious for a short while, nothing would happen to him.

Moreover, what she was about to do couldn’t be interrupted by anyone.

Carrying Luo Ziyin on her shoulder, she arrived at the place she had prepared in advance.

This place was a small mountain not far from Jianxin Sect.

Fortunately, the previous battle had only blasted away half the mountain. The area she had set up remained fine.

Now all she had to do was wait for sunrise. The yang energy of this place would be at its peak during that time, perfect for altering Luo Ziyin’s constitution.

While it’s still dark, Di Yange sat to the side, wearing a troubled expression. Of course, that’s what others thought.

In reality, she was already imagining her life after returning, the days of becoming a domineering CEO.

When the time comes, how could she remain a low profile yet domineering CEO? And also with endless money flowing in, how should she resist temptation? These were indeed difficult questions.

As she thought about these things, an excited smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Only after letting out a small laugh did she realize it might look inappropriate and quickly restrained herself.

Outside the light screen, Luo Ziyin felt his heart climb to his throat, choking and suffocating him

It turns out he was this important in Di Yange’s heart, important enough that even in her critically injured state, just looking at him sleeping could make her laugh out loud.

He understood Di Yange’s current condition better than anyone, she was already so severely injured that her cultivation could collapse and she could die at any moment. Yet she still desperately persisted for his sake.

Blood continuously spilled from the corners of Luo Ziyin’s lips. The pain in his body was nothing compared to the pain in his heart. He collapsed before the light screen, crying uncontrollably.

“Brother, I’m sorry. I’m not worthy of how you treat me.”

Even though he really wanted Di Yange to stop, and really wished she would quickly heal herself, he knew this all already happened in the past. The debt he owed her was immeasurable, even his blood feud had been avenged by her.

“Hmph.”

The others merely snorted. Because they also thought that although Di Yange had wronged all of them, when it came to Luo Ziyin, they had nothing to say, she was so good to Luo Ziyin that it made them want to strangle him.

Of course, Xiao Jue, who was hidden among the crowd, also felt the same.

Back then, when he woke up after being knocked out by Di Yange, both of them were gone. It reminded him of when he had been captured by Tiangang Sect after being knocked unconscious. 

So in his anger, he had done some things he shouldn’t have, but he didn’t regret it. 

Because the future Di Yange would give him every reason to hate her.

…

Inside the light screen, the first light of dawn finally appeared. The faint red glow illuminated Di Yange’s bewitching face, tinting it like rouge. At that moment, all brilliance seemed to gather upon her, making the sight unforgettable.

Looking at that ray of light, she curled the corners of her lips.

She could finally go home.

She excitedly took out the prepared items from the Qiankun Ring and tossed them toward Luo Ziyin, the nine items landing precisely on the nine major acupoints of his body.

“The sun as true yang, the moon as true yin…”

Di Yange began chanting. With each word, her internal organs churned more violently.

After only a few lines, she could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining Luo Ziyin red.

Outside the light screen, Luo Ziyin also coughed up a mouthful of blood.

As Di Yange continued chanting, her smile grew increasingly enchanting, because she could feel death approaching once more.

Another step closer to home.

“…comprehend the balance of yin and yang…”

As the incantation progressed, streams of golden light suddenly gathered from all directions, transforming into mysterious symbols.

The golden symbols continuously circled around Luo Ziyin, at the same time, blinding light suddenly burst forth from the nine acupoints on his body and he started floating.

The golden symbols that were originally circling Luo Ziyin seem to be sucked in by something, they frantically burrowed into the nine acupoints on his body. The nine materials also slowly started to merge into those nine acupoints.

After a long time, a purple cloud formed above them, streaked with deep violet and gold lightning.

To defy fate was to invite heavenly punishment.

The golden lightning was Luo Ziyin’s tribulation, while the violet lightning was different. It was the lightning of curses.

This was a curse from the heavens. Once burdened, one would be plagued by misfortune for life.

Everyone watched in shock.

They never could’ve imagined that the Demon Emperor, Di Yange, had actually done so much for Luo Ziyin when they were young.

This is defying fate after all.

Although she originally came from the Divine Realm, this type of heavenly curse was still inescapable even for someone with a divine bloodline like her.

She would be plagued by misfortune for the rest of her life, through all her reincarnations, until complete annihilation.

This was the price of defying fate.

…

“Heh heh. The Demon Emperor must have a way to remove the curse and also a way to retreat unharmed. Just look at him right now, does he seem like he’s cursed at all?! This was all a trick, don’t believe him. He must’ve done all of this to gain Qingyang Great Emperor’s sympathy.”

“Exactly. How could the Demon Emperor sincerely save Qingyang Great Emperor?”

Just as the two of them finished speaking, their chests were suddenly struck and they were sent flying.

“Qingyang Great Emperor, you are the great emperor of law and order, how can you attack people at will?”

“I will kill whoever dares to say bad things about my brother.”

Hearing Luo Ziyin say this, the others glanced at the surrounding great emperors.

However, they were too busy staring at the scene on the light screen with jealousy, and were not bothered enough to spare them a glance.

After Luo Ziyin finished fighting, he returned in front of the light screen with an expression of grievance and misery again.

“Do you all see this? Brother did all this for me, he went against the heavens for me.”

The jealous crowd: “Heh heh.”

…

Inside the light screen, the process was nearing its end.

The golden light around Luo Ziyin had been fully absorbed.

At that moment, the golden lightning struck first, its target being Luo Ziyin.

Luo Ziyin had just undergone the process of defying fate to change his constitution, how could he possibly withstand being struck by lightning?

Di Yange wiped the blood from the corners of her lips and glanced at him, now drenched in her blood, “Luo Ziyin, take care of yourself from now on.”

She, this young master, wouldn’t accompany him any longer.

She even wanted to thank the eight generations of his ancestors, because she could finally go home.

When the lightning descended, Di Yange shot straight toward the cloud, flying right into the lightning.

Boom! The lightning strike nearly shattered Di Yange’s soul. With a crack, her Golden Core that was already fractured in the battle earlier, completely disintegrated.

Then, a streak of violet light entered her forehead, forming a purple symbol, making her already bewitching appearance even more captivating.

Di Yange only felt an itching on her forehead, she raised her hand to give it a scratch, then charged toward the purple cloud again.

“Come on… strike this young master dead… this young master will stand right here for you!”

But for some reason, after striking once, the purple lightning began to dissipate.

“Wait, don’t go… this damn lightning doesn’t follow the rules…why did you only strike once?”

Seeing that the purple cloud was about float away, Di Yange chased after it while coughing blood.

But halfway through, she suddenly lost all strength and fell from the heavens.

Her spiritual energy was completely depleted, combined with the backlash of defying fate, she could no longer hold on.

Of course, she also deliberately found such a high place for extra assurance.

As the wind roared past her ears, she felt completely empty, devoid of even the slightest bit of strength in her entire body.

The way home was right before her eyes.

Di Yange originally wanted to take this chance to throw out those two inheritances, but she realized that they seem to be bound to her at some point. No matter what she did, she couldn’t get rid of them at all.

If there’s nothing she could do about it, then they could just kick the bucket with her.

After returning, she would first become a CEO, then open up several schools.

She would find some good seedlings to spread the Xuan Medical techniques.

There’s also that sword dao inheritance, she could also teach a few martial arts classes after returning.

Suddenly, none of it seemed difficult anymore.

Di Yange quietly closed her eyes, waiting to go home.

She thought about the beautiful days of being a domineering CEO again.

A faint smile lingered on her lips.

“Brother! I’m not worth it, I’m not worth what you’ve done!” Outside the light screen, Luo Ziyin collapsed to his knees, clutching his chest and cried out.

If it wasn’t for him, Di Yange wouldn’t have been injured to this extent.

She cared about him so much that even under such serious injuries, there’s still a warm smile on her face.
