Chapter 2112: Everything I Did, I Did For You, Lord (3)

Su Yu nodded and ignored the odd gazes they were shooting him as he flew off.

With him gone, He Tu said, "His Majesty sure is very concerned about Xing Yue. I believe we are merely the ones he's resurrecting in passing. Xing Yue must be his actual target of resurrection. Am I right?"

Liu Hong glanced at He Tu without saying anything. The truth did not matter. He only knew that shutting his mouth was the smart thing to do. Su Yu was too petty. That was not someone he would want to gossip about. There was no way he was going to fall for this.

He Tu could court death himself. Liu Hong did not intend to join him. In fact, Liu Hong was already noting down these words of He Tu. The next time He Tu offended him, he could sell He Tu out to Su Yu. He even wondered if he would receive a nice reward for it.

***

Xing Yue's castle.

Complete silence engulfed the castle.

The massive gate was tightly shut.

When Su Yu arrived, some of the death spirits under Xing Yue recognized him. They were overjoyed to see him and hurriedly greeted him on their knees, "We welcome the great commander!"

Su Yu had called himself their great commander once. But until today, these death spirits still knew him as their great commander. That did not change even when they knew that Su Yu was already the lord of the Death Realm.

Su Yu smiled at them before looking at the shut gate. He asked, "Is Lord Xing Yue in cultivation?"

"I don't think so." Xing One, the death spirit Su Yu had personally named, answered with a slight hesitation, "Our lord isn't in seclusion, but she has been shut inside for a few days."

Su Yu nodded before striding toward the castle.

"Lord Xing Yue, I'm coming in."

"Go away!"

A furious roar rang out.

With a nonchalant smile on his face, Su Yu pushed the gate open and stepped inside. Clearly, her temper had not improved one bit.

***

Inside the main hall.

Xing Yue glared at Su Yu with a dark expression and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Here to give you an update on our recent situation..."

Xing Yue sneered. "Cut the act. Su Yu, the death qi connection between us has been severed. From now on, we are separate individuals. We no longer have anything to do with each other. You can stop acting before me since I don't really have anything you want anymore. You love treasures? Well, this castle is the only thing I have left. If you want it, take it and piss off."

Su Yu laughed. "You jest, Lord. About our death qi connection—"

"Hmph! I'm not interested in hearing your explanation."

Su Yu shrugged before suddenly raising his voice, "Shut up and listen!"

Xing Yue trembled slightly before she could stop herself. Just as she was about to say something, Su Yu's aura erupted and suppressed her.

She could only glare at him in fury.

This was too excessive!

Only then did Su Yu speak again, "I was pioneering my life and death daos on the day I severed the connection. Do you understand now? At the time, I was on the verge of dying. I was in need of life force, but you were trying so hard to send me death qi. Were you trying to kill me or something?"

Xing Yue blanked out. What?

Su Yu continued, "Sure enough, women are troublesome. Even dead women are troublesome. I nearly died because of you. Lord, you nearly killed me. Were you even aware of that?

"So many people were counting on me to survive, but you nearly killed me. Fortunately, I am generous. I don't intend to do anything about that, but why are you the one being all angry here? Fortunately, I have a kind nature, and I understand that you were trying to help me. Therefore, I am not harping on that issue."

Xing Yue continued blanking out. Was she...the one at fault? But...this guy had not informed her about what he was doing! How was she supposed to know that?

Su Yu laughed again and said, "Of course, that is a trivial matter. I survived, and I'm here to explain things to you. Do you know that I only attempted Creation so I could resurrect you?"

With an emotional tone, Su Yu continued, "It was difficult, but you're my lord. I have no choice but to prioritize you at all times. In fact, I'm making He Tu the lab rat. He will be the first I resurrect. If he ends up dying from it, so be it. I can't allow my lord to die, right?

"Therefore, I'm here to explain things to you lest you do something wrong again."

.bg-ssp-10081{margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:flex;justify-content:center;}

He paused slightly, frowned, and said, "Can you not understand what I'm doing, Lord? Sigh. Fine, fine. Since you want me gone, I'll leave."

He turned around to leave, leaving the furious Xing Yue behind.

Screw him!

That bastard had suppressed her. How was she supposed to respond?

Only when Su Yu reached the gate did the suppression from Su Yu fade. She asked, "Where do you think you're going?"

Su Yu turned around with an innocent expression and asked, "Aren't you ignoring me, Lord?"

"..."

Xing Yue had the urge to choke Su Yu to death.

She snorted. "Shut up. Who are you to interrupt when I'm speaking?"

But she couldn't hold her curiosity in as she asked, "What pioneering are you talking about?"

"..."

Su Yu nearly laughed, but he forced himself to stay serious. "I pioneered my own life and death daos. Independent life and death daos. I killed myself and turned into death spirit before coming back to life. I did all that for you, Lord."

"Independent daos?" Xing Yue asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

"Daos pioneered in chaos, separate from the River of Time."

"Uh..." Xing Yue asked with shock, "Did you...really turn into a death spirit?"

Su Yu nodded. "Yes. It was right about that time that you started sending me a large amount of death qi."

"No." Xing Yue said, "At the time, I sensed your presence disappearing, as though you were out of energy. I only...only sent you some death qi after sensing that. That wasn't...wasn't deliberate."

Su Yu sighed. "It's fine. What's the big deal about nearly killing me? It's not bad to continue existing as a death spirit, right?"

Xing Yue had a wronged expression as she continued explaining herself, "It really wasn't deliberate..."

"Forget it." Su Yu said, "I forgive you. After all, a good subordinate should always know when to bow before their superior."

Xing Yue felt gloomy. Subordinate? Nonsense! This swindler was now terrifyingly strong. He also had a bunch of super experts under him. Yet he was still here pretending to serve her. How shameless!

Su Yu flashed her a wide smile and asked, "So...are we good, Lord?"

Xing Yue stared at him. Something felt wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.

She felt both annoyed and gloomy. "Forget it. I will forgive you."

Su Yu grinned, "Sure. In that case, this matter ends here. By the way, I suspect you have been sealed. You might have been quite powerful before your death. You were probably quite powerful even as a death spirit. But someone sealed your strength away. I might need to remove that seal before I can resurrect you."

Xing Yue asked furiously, "A seal? Which bastard did that?"

"Culture King!"

Xing Yue was stunned. Culture King?

Su Yu continued, "Yes. Him. He sealed your strength away, making growth impossible, no matter how many death imprints you consume."

"Culture King was the bastard?"

Xing Yue cursed. "I see now. So he was the reason for me to stay weak for a hundred thousand years! Damn him!"

This was intolerable.

She asked, "Why did he seal my strength away?"

Su Yu explained, "Probably to resurrect you, but he failed in the attempt. But he didn't bother to remove the seal before leaving. How irresponsible, am I right?"

Xing Yue nodded in agreement. Yeap!

Since he had failed, he should have removed the seal!

Damn him!

Su Yu added, "Therefore, I need to fully prepare before attempting to resurrect you. I won't be as irresponsible as Culture King.

"Did it not occur to him that for a hundred thousand years, no, more than a hundred thousand years. You have been stuck for so long. Wouldn't it be terrible for you to die to some weak death spirit during that time because of the irresponsible Culture King?"

Xing Yue nodded again. Yes! How hateful! Culture King was too unreliable!

"Why...why did he want to resurrect me?"

Su Yu shrugged. "I don't know. Perhaps he was trying to steal Xing Yu's token? What a scoundrel!"

"..."

Xing Yue kept feeling like something wasn't right, but...she decided to let it slide since it was Su Yu.

After a slight hesitation, she asked, "Can I really return to life?"

"I can't promise anything, but the chance is quite high." Su Yu said, "I will make the attempt after I'm fully ready. By the way, I moved Culture King's house to the Death Realm. There are flowers everywhere around his house. When you return to life, you can stay there for a bit. I believe Fat Ball will be happy to see you there."

"Flowers?" Xing Yue nodded, "Yes, I remember that. In fact, I was the one who had taught Time Sage her gardening skills all those years ago..."

Was that the case?

Su Yu was left completely speechless.

Xing Yue sure was old, and she sure had a lot of free time back then. Because of her, Fat Ball had been relegated to being a gardener for over a hundred thousand years. Without rest. Poor Fat Ball.

So the culprit was right here!

"I'm leaving, Lord. You can visit the research center if you're curious about the process."

"No thanks. I enjoy staying here."

Xing Yue was clearly curious, but she refused the invitation.

Su Yu laughed. Sure enough, this was a super shut-in.

So be it. It was true that she had been staying here all these years. The one time she had moved away, she had done it for Su Yu during his visit to the Luminous Domain Mansion.

"Sure. See you, Lord. I'll be back shortly to report on the progress."

Xing Yue nodded. While maintaining a countenance of utmost dignity, she said, "You may leave."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Su Yu left.

Not long after, the ancient castle was reopened.

Xing Yue was in a good mood. Thus, she no longer locked herself inside her castle. In fact, she started gardening again. It had been a few days since she last took care of them. It was all that bastard's fault. Her flowers had nearly died off because of that.

Ultimately, she decided to forgive him since he had offered to resurrect her. And thus, the joyful Xing Yue started gardening her death flowers. Outside, her death spirit subordinates saw everything. They felt greatly helpless. Their lord...was a tad bit too fickle.

She was still so furious not long ago. But after only a few words from their great commander, her mood had taken a complete turn.

Their great commander was great indeed.
