CHAPTER 1183: CHAPTER 1183: OUR LAST MEETING

"Hmm?"

Ye Chenfeng’s brows furrowed with a trace of confusion as he turned around, astonished to look at the Empress.

Not only did the Empress have Ye Qingge’s face, but she also recognized him!

Which meant she was Ye Qingge!

If she was Ye Qingge, he wouldn’t have a reason to hold her back and not leave.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes narrowed into the most dangerous needle-like shape, finally detecting something unusual at this moment.

She was Ye Qingge, yet she seemed not to be.

Now the Empress brought Ye Chenfeng a feeling both unfamiliar and familiar, making his emotions even more complex.

It might just be a psychological effect, but it was truly so.

The hand he was holding, Ye Qingge’s hand, was icy cold, devoid of any warmth, just like... just like a dead person’s hand.

The Empress effortlessly withdrew her hand from Ye Chenfeng’s grasp and slowly walked to the side.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes almost narrowed to a slit as he came up behind the Empress, his face full of incredulity, asking, "Why?"

"There’s no why, you should leave here immediately," the Empress said expressionlessly, her tone as cold as ice.

Ye Chenfeng stared into the Empress’s eyes, curiously asking, "Aren’t you Qingge?"

Then, Ye Chenfeng added, "Since you can recognize me, saying you’re not is absolutely impossible."

"Yes, but also no," the Empress replied lightly.

The Empress’s answer left Ye Chenfeng bewildered, like a monk who can’t make sense of things.

"What do you mean? Aren’t you Qingge? How can you not be?" Ye Chenfeng asked, extremely confused.

"You don’t need to know, I have nothing to do with you."

The Empress’s attitude put Ye Chenfeng in a deep freeze, his heart sinking to the deepest point.

His greatest fear had come true...

Just as Phoenix Asura and the others had analyzed, Ye Qingge was no longer the Ye Qingge of the past; she had changed.

Even more likely, Ye Qingge was one of the people behind the events back then, always hiding the truth from everyone.

Impossible, Qingge isn’t such a person!

Thinking of this, Ye Chenfeng’s face showed an extreme expression of anger, throwing all these thoughts out of his mind.

"Qingge, do you have some secret you can’t reveal? Tell me, I will solve everything for you!" Ye Chenfeng said.

"I already told you, it has nothing to do with you. Just leave quickly," the Empress suddenly raised her tone.

Yet Ye Chenfeng seemed even more resolute: "Tonight, I must take you away! Whoever blocks me, I will kill them!"

A massive killing intent had already emanated from Ye Chenfeng, enveloping the Holy Temple completely.

Ye Chenfeng had made up his mind, determined to take Ye Qingge away.

If someone obstructed him, Ye Chenfeng could only respond with killing.

If the Holy Mountain produced a master stronger than him, Ye Chenfeng would open the seal at all costs, even if it meant facing the judgment of the Land of the Gods!

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes revealed madness...

On the other side.

"You’re going to the Holy Mountain?"

Catherine stood in front of Phoenix and the others with a playful look.

Phoenix nodded heavily, "The Divine King is in danger, we must go!"

"Rest assured, he won’t be in trouble. If you go, it’ll only create chaos. Just stay here obediently!!!" In the end, Catherine was almost roaring.

The powerful aura made everyone’s heart tremble, even Asura’s expression turned serious.

Catherine was definitely a super formidable figure!

"Miss Catherine, I have something to say to you..."

The always silent Yao Dao suddenly spoke, drawing surprised glances from everyone.

Catherine’s gaze slowly fell on him, she spoke, "Tell me!"

"The Divine King’s purpose in going to the Holy Mountain is simple — to confirm whether the Empress is the Queen," Yao Dao said.

"So what?" Catherine asked, surprised.

Yao Dao stared at Catherine, "If the Empress really is the Queen, what would the Divine King do? Do you think a small agreement can bind him? Given the Divine King’s character, he might very well take the Queen away and flee. If that’s the case, Miss Catherine, your plan to get married might be ruined."

After listening to Yao Dao, Catherine’s expression almost solidified on her face, leaving her stupefied where she stood.

"Ye Chenfeng!"

A long time later, Catherine spat out a word and then left.

Shi Buddha shook his head with a sigh, "Love truly makes people foolish — even those reputed to be the smartest can’t pass through the gate of emotions."

"We should leave too!"

Phoenix showed urgency, Yao Dao’s words served as a reminder for Catherine but also for her.

...

Inside the Holy Temple.

Ye Chenfeng revealed his manic side, the surging murderous intent echoed.

"Give up on this, I won’t leave with you," the Empress said coldly.

Ye Chenfeng’s eyes were full of confusion, nearly frantic, "Qingge, I want to know why all this is happening? What caused your change?"

Even the Empress responded just as frantically, "You don’t need to know, just leave!"

"Since I’ve seen you again, I’m absolutely not leaving. Unless I’m dead!" Ye Chenfeng said with utmost determination.

"Hehe..."

Facing such Ye Chenfeng, the Empress’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"You want to know what’s going on? Fine, I’ll tell you!" The Empress’s tone became much calmer.

"Fine, if you have a sufficient reason to convince me, I’ll leave!"

The Empress slowly raised her gaze to meet Ye Chenfeng’s eyes.

...

The Empress and Ye Chenfeng talked for a long time, and finally, Ye Chenfeng’s eyes showed utter despair, as if devoid of life.

He slowly took steps, walking out of the Holy Temple.

The Empress’s eyes constantly watched Ye Chenfeng’s silhouette, showing an incomprehensibly complex expression.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the Holy Temple’s door tightly shut.

The Empress slowly closed her eyes, two lines of clear tears slid silently down, leaving marks on her beautiful cheeks.

"Chengfeng, it’s not that I don’t want to leave, it’s that I simply cannot leave here," suddenly, the Empress’s metallic face showed a rich expression.

She even screamed hysterically, her voice extremely mournful, yet no one heard.

"Chengfeng, let’s hope this is our last meeting. Someone will accompany you through life," the Empress cried.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, strong winds arose within the Holy Temple.

At the end of the Empress’s vision, a mass of black mist appeared, like a ghost in the night.

"I promised you I’d let him go this once! You’ve seen him, and now you have no attachments," the black mist uttered in a hoarse voice.

The Empress said nothing, only silently weeping.

"But if he dares to come to the Holy Mountain again, I won’t let him go," the black mist spoke again.
