He Still Has Me in His Heart

Above the clouds, the Milky Way shines brightly.

Lovers meet on the dazzling Magpie Bridge.

They looked at each other with tender affection.

The man holds the world in his hands.

With the stars as our witness, we offer our vows without regret.

"Tianxuan, I love you."

thump.

My heartstrings trembled wildly, stirring up waves of emotion.

Her cold red lips burned with sincere passion.

This scene is like a dream.

Suddenly.

The scene before my eyes has lost its color.

The world suddenly froze, becoming fragmented.

The same night, the same starry sky.

The woman mustered her courage, offered her heart to the man, and expressed her feelings.

However, all that was received was bone-chilling cold.

"Junior sister, let bygones be bygones. It was my fault for pestering you before. Now I am engaged to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi."

"That's not true. My heart has always belonged only to you, Senior Brother. You don't need to wrong yourself..."

"It's not that I felt wronged; it was only after meeting the Holy Maiden of Yaochi that I realized my true feelings."

"Senior brother, I..."

"Junior sister, please don't do this again. I'm afraid the Holy Maiden of Yaochi will misunderstand."

The evening wind was like a knife, breaking her heart.

She was so cold that she curled up in the darkness.

"No……"

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan suddenly opened her eyes.

Still shaken, she gasped for breath, as if she had just experienced a terrifying suffocation.

"Senior brother..."

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan murmured softly.

The past declarations of love and the rejection from years ago are constantly intertwined and overlapping.

Whenever she cultivates, it haunts her like a demon.

That calm tone and resolute gaze.

It broke her heart.

The intense emptiness cannot be filled in any way.

Like a fish out of the lake, struggling to breathe.

The only thing that sustained her was...

"My senior brother still cares about me."

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan thought to herself.

This is not just an unrealistic obsession.

As far back as she can remember, her senior brother has always been by her side, and his figure can be seen in every scene.

Even when she had a falling out with her senior brother and hid in the deep, deserted mountains.

Her senior brother would always come looking for her and take her hand as they left.

The two reconciled and went back to normal.

Despite being blinded before, she foolishly pushed away her senior brother who loved her deeply.

But no matter what, her senior brother will eventually return to her side.

The separation we are experiencing now is only temporary.

If her senior brother refuses to forgive her.

That's no big deal, she can just go and beg her senior brother for forgiveness herself.

Just like how her senior brother relentlessly pursued her back then.

"My senior brother's engagement to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi was merely a result of his heartbreak, which the Holy Maiden took advantage of..."

The Holy Maiden of Tianxuan has disliked the Holy Maiden of Yaochi for a long time.

The cultivators in the world often mention the two of them together.

However, their relationship was quite ordinary.

At the Peach Banquet that year, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi took the initiative to challenge her to a duel.

She sensed that the other party had ill intentions and was going all out to try and overpower her.

Of course, she didn't hold back either.

"I am the one my senior brother truly loves; the Holy Maiden of Yaochi is merely a substitute for the one he cannot have..."

"My senior brother is definitely resentful towards me, so I need to appease him. No matter how much he hits or scolds me, it doesn't matter. That way, he'll eventually change his mind..."

Although her senior brother had already firmly rejected her and told her to be mindful of her behavior.

But the Holy Maiden Tianxuan had no intention of giving up.

She couldn't give up either.

Because that would be no different from death.

Moreover, this marriage was destined to fail.

"The sect leader will absolutely not agree to this marriage, and apart from me, my senior brother listens to the sect leader the most."

"I need to go see my senior brother now..."

Tianxuan Saintess couldn't wait to visit Luo Tian.

She would inquire about Luo Tian's whereabouts every day.

Naturally, they also learned that Luo Tian had been taken back to the sect by Empress Xuan and was currently being punished by being confined to the forbidden area behind the mountain to reflect on his mistakes.

"Senior brother's cultivation is currently sealed, and he needs care and attention."

"I am a virgin, a Yin body, and have received the inheritance of the Yin Holy Emperor, making me an excellent vessel for my senior brother."

"If I go to visit my senior brother, perhaps I can help him break the seal..."

A sickly blush appeared on the stunningly beautiful face of the Heavenly Maiden.

It seems they have regained their right to breathe.

……

Not long after.

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan arrived at the Cliff of Cleansing Hearts.

Empress Xuan punished Luo Tian to stay here in seclusion and recuperate, and did not allow anyone else to come and visit.

They were only allowed to pass today.

Tianxuan Saintess's goal was to be the first to visit.

She recalled how her senior brother had looked for her when she was a child, and quietly concealed herself.

Prepare to give the other person a surprise.

Just like that, my lifeless heart became burning with joy.

However, as she approached the location of the cave...

But then they heard a sound coming from inside.

Wow!

Like being doused with cold water.

Tianxuan Saintess's heart sank immediately.

She was the one who started it.

who is it?

Who took her place?

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan hid in a corner and secretly eavesdropped.

"Senior Brother, you don't need to do anything. Just leave the rest to them."

"Junior Sister, wait a minute, are you going to sit here? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"No problem, I'm an adult now!"

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan recognized the voice as that of Junior Sister Yaoguang.

This wasn't the first time the other person had bothered his senior brother.

Although it was regrettable that the Holy Maiden Tianxuan failed to seize the initiative, she could still accept it.

But the problem now is...

What are they going to do? Why do they need to act like adults?

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan had a bad feeling.

His expression unconsciously twisted slightly.

She endured her discomfort and continued to eavesdrop.

"Hehe, is Senior Brother ready? I'm about to go!"

Soon, the faint sounds of bodies colliding could be heard coming from inside the cave.

It was as if a hammer was constantly striking, piercing the heart of the Heavenly Maiden.

Tianxuan Saintess held her breath.

"Junior sister, are you sure you can handle this? Is this your limit?"

"Um...it's my first time~and senior brother's body is too unfair..."

"In that case, let me do it!"

"Huh? Senior Brother!"

As the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang cried out in surprise.

The next second, rapid breathing and groans came from the cave.

"No...don't..."

Tianxuan Saintess froze, her hands and feet ice-cold.

But her heart was even colder.

Hearing the strange noises coming from inside, she wanted to go deaf.

She didn't have the courage to rush in and stop them, worried that it would make her senior brother unhappy with her.

At the same time, it seems to have an inexplicable attraction.

This prevented her from simply turning away.

The Holy Maiden of Tianxuan stood frozen like a statue waiting for her husband, listening intently without moving, afraid of being discovered by the two people in the cave.

The sound echoed in her mind, and her expression became increasingly distorted.

Lost in her thoughts, she blushed deeply.

But her heart was shattered.

Envy, jealousy, pain, pleasure...

Countless twisted emotions mingled together, strangely filling the emptiness in her heart.

The more I listen, the more painful it becomes, and the more painful it is, the more I want to keep listening.

She was completely baffled.

In the end, he even revealed a sickly smile.

"It's alright... This is my senior brother's punishment for me. He's just spoiling his junior sister Yao Guang; the person he loves in his heart is still me."

"Junior Sister Yaoguang is the most pitiful one. Even at a time like this, Senior Brother is still thinking of me..."

"My senior brother loves me deeply, so how could I be jealous?"

"I love you too... Senior Brother..."

……

"Is someone coming from outside?"

Luo Tian walked out of the cave.

"No, right?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang peeked out from behind.

The two looked around but found nothing unusual.

With Luo Tian's cultivation sealed, his senses are much weaker than before, making it difficult to detect anything unusual.

He simply shrugged.

"It seems to be an illusion. Junior Sister, let's go back and continue."

"The senior brother is bullying people!"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang clung to Luo Tian's arm, pouting and acting coquettishly.

Luo Tian chuckled and pinched her little nose.

"Junior Sister, you said you wanted to learn body-refining techniques from me, so why are you giving up halfway through?"

"I just wanted to keep my senior brother company while he was in solitary confinement, who knew you would take it so seriously, senior brother."

"With the abnormal activity in the forbidden zone of life, our Xuantian Sect is the first to bear the brunt. It's a good thing that Junior Sister has learned more self-defense techniques."

Luo Tian shook his head and patted the little head of the Holy Maiden Yao Guang.

The Peach Banquet was previously attacked by the restricted area.

Empress Xuan swiftly intervened to save the day, eliminating the Ten Kings of Hell and the Emperor's son in the process.

Then they took Luo Tian back to the Xuan Tian Sect.

After returning to the sect.

Luo Tian inevitably received a severe scolding from Empress Xuan.

She could only barely keep the other person calm by acting cute and rolling around on the ground.

Unfortunately, he could escape the death penalty, but he could not escape punishment.

In the end, he was put in solitary confinement.

She was even imprisoned at the Cliff of Cleansing Hearts, which shows that Empress Xuan was truly angry.

However, it was the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang who was an accomplice.

Nothing happened.

To be precise, Empress Xuan didn't even notice.

Luo Tian looked at his junior sister and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang swung her legs and chatted with Luo Tian.

"I thought I'd never see my senior brother again! I was planning to go into seclusion to become stronger before coming back to save him. I never expected the sect leader to let him go... How did my senior brother persuade the sect leader?"

"Isn't it enough to just tell the truth?"

Luo Tian feigned composure and said.

Only he himself knows the hardships he endured.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang wanted to ask for more details, but unfortunately, it concerned the dignity of her senior brother, Luo Tian, ​​and he would never tell her.

However, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang still sensed something and made a firm promise to Luo Tian.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother! One day, I will rescue you from the Sect Master's clutches!"

"Hehe... I appreciate your kindness, junior sister..."

Luo Tian smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"You should also know that the sect leader did this partly to protect me."

It's already a certainty that the forbidden zone of life intends to eliminate him.

Moreover, it was not due to any personal grudge of the Ziwei Emperor.

Seven forbidden zones for life are stirring.

It's more like a debate about philosophies, or rather, about the fundamental principles of cause and effect and destiny.

What it will ultimately trigger is very likely to be a dark upheaval that will bring disaster to the entire world.

Luo Tian had a vague premonition.

This may be the final battle he will face.

"The sect leader is disrespectful to his elders and is just looking for an excuse to satisfy his own selfish desires."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang curled her lip.

Suddenly, his eyes darted around twice, and then he changed the subject.

"However, the sect leader's approach is not without reason. If we don't keep a close eye on our senior brother, he might abandon us again and suddenly disappear."

"Junior Sister, I should be the one saying that. I'm more worried about everyone's safety than my own."

Luo Tian said.

Anyway, with the system around, he won't really die.

The path of utmost sincerity that he cultivates could truly shatter his Dao heart if he lost the people around him.

Wasn't this how Luo Tian, ​​whose fate was predetermined, died suddenly?

"That's why we locked up the eldest brother."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang puffed out her cheeks in anger.

She stretched out her finger, and a semi-real red string appeared, connecting her to Luo Tian.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang said expressionlessly.

"If one day you leave me, no matter where you are, I will use this red string to find you. Please remember that, senior brother!"

"Okay, okay... I will definitely remember."

Luo Tian twitched the corner of his mouth.

I finally managed to persuade my junior sister, who was using gravity to escape.

The cave finally returned to tranquility.

Luo Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to prepare for the final battle and protect this land.

Some things can't be put off any longer.

For example...

Exposing the true face of the Heavenly Maiden.

"Speaking of which, it feels like Junior Sister Tianxuan has almost disappeared. Ever since that night when I had a complete showdown with her, I've barely spoken to her..."

Luo Tian scratched his head helplessly.

Having played the role of a sycophant for ten years, he intentionally or unintentionally distanced himself from and resisted the Holy Maiden of Tianxuan.

It's difficult to maintain the childhood sweetheart-like relationship between the two senior and junior students.

"The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was right; her advice is always incredibly effective, almost too good."

"I thought Junior Sister Tianxuan would come to visit me immediately to clear her name..."

"Looks like I was overthinking it..."
