Chapter 615 We've known each other for so long, and this is the first time a wizard has said he
After Yan Yun finished speaking, she added in a slightly aggrieved voice, "But you have to remember to call me out in a few days, don't keep me locked up for ten days or half a month again."
Upon hearing this, Fu Sheng paused for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "Okay."
With a flick of her fingertip, a faint light flashed, and she sent Yan Yun into the Beast Fantasy Space.
"Thinking of Schnauzers?" Yan Su suddenly asked.
Fu Sheng looked up and met his calm gaze. She thought to herself that Yan Su was indeed insightful and could see through her thoughts at a glance. She replied softly, "Yes. What Yan Jun said just now reminded me that it has been a long time since I summoned the Schnauzer. I only summoned Yan Jun in these two domains. Leaving it alone in the space, it must be sad."
Schnauzer was always afraid of being alone and had never liked staying in the Beast Realm before, but she hadn't summoned it since entering the Miracle.
Yan Su said indifferently, "The miracle is fraught with danger. It's not very bright and would easily cause trouble if it came out. It's safer for it to stay in the Beast Realm."
The Schnauzer is far less intelligent and quick-witted than Yan Jun, and it doesn't know how to adapt to changing circumstances. If it were to accidentally get separated from Fu Sheng, it wouldn't be able to find her like Yan Jun does with the power of the contract.
“That’s what I think too,” Fu Sheng sighed.
This is why she never summoned the Schnauzer after entering the miracle; she had already learned this lesson once before in the tomb of the gods.
"Let's not talk about that anymore." Fu Sheng came back to her senses. "Weren't you fighting with Jun Wuchi earlier? Why did you suddenly rush down?"
“I heard your voice,” Yan Su said.
"Is Junwu Pond still up there?" Fusheng asked.
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, Fu Sheng immediately became anxious: "If you come down now, what if he takes the opportunity to take Qian Qiuxue away?"
“It’s alright.” Yan Su said calmly, “Qian Qiuxue has not yet been born, so even if he guards the mountaintop, he will not be able to obtain her.”
"Not yet born?" Fu Sheng asked in surprise. "When will it be born? What are the conditions for its birth?"
In his previous life, when Yan Su arrived at the summit of the snow mountain, the mountain suddenly split open, and he sensed the aura of the divine artifact, from which he found the Thousand Autumn Snow.
Fu Sheng hadn't paid close attention before, but now that Yan Su had mentioned it, she realized that the snow mountain in front of her was nothing like the one described in the book from her previous life, with a deep ravine splitting open from the middle of the mountain peak.
The Thousand Autumns Snow has indeed not yet been born, and the snow-capped mountains are still intact.
But as Fu Sheng thought about it, some doubts arose in her heart.
Compared to their previous life, the time they entered the miracle in this life has been delayed considerably. Fu Sheng believed that Qian Qiuxue should have already been born, but she had not yet left the mountain and was still deep in the snow mountain, undiscovered by anyone.
But now, it hasn't even been born yet; the snow mountain is still in its gestation stage.
"I don't know." Yan Su slowly shook her head.
Fu Sheng looked stunned.
It was rare for her to hear the word "I don't know" from Yan Su, and there was something that Yan Su had no clue about.
“Even if we don’t know the conditions for Qianqiuxue’s birth, we’re both stuck here now, and only Jun Wuchi is left on the summit. What if Qianqiuxue is born before we reach the top? Wouldn’t he easily take her away?” Fusheng frowned, blaming herself softly. “Sigh, it’s all my fault. I wanted to go up and help you, but I only made things worse and even made you jump down to save me…”
"How could it implicate anyone?" Yan Su said dismissively. "If Jun Wuchi really took that sword, then so be it."
He said matter-of-factly, "Qian Qiuxue is far less important than you."
Yan Su spoke casually, but Fu Sheng knew better than anyone how much Qian Qiuxue meant to him. Hearing him say this, her heart was instantly filled with warmth, and she said, "You know I can draw spirits, so it's almost impossible for me to die from a fall. You didn't really need to jump down to save me..."
When Yan Yun suddenly disappeared and her body fell downwards, she was indeed frightened, otherwise she wouldn't have screamed.
But in reality, even if Yan Su hadn't saved her, she wouldn't have been in any real danger—after all, she could have drawn spirits in the air.
Even from a height of ten thousand feet, the fall would take a moment. She only needed to bite her fingertip before landing and draw the character '遁' (escape) with her blood to escape.
Although they may not necessarily escape to any particular place, they might escape directly to one of the top domains, just like before, but they will not perish easily.
“I know you can draw spirits, and I know you must have a way to protect yourself.” Yan Su’s eyes were calm, but there was an undeniable seriousness in them. “But you also said it was ‘almost’.”
"What if you panic and lose your composure in mid-air and can't draw the spirit in time? Or what if your hand is injured and you can't draw the spirit? Or what if your spiritual energy is depleted and you can't draw the spirit..."
Even if these possibilities are extremely slim, but—
He spoke each word slowly and firmly, "I dare not gamble."
Even if he had to do it ten thousand times, he would still jump without hesitation.
"..."
Fusheng remained silent.
Yan Su wasn't good at sweet talk and rarely said "I love you" to her, but his actions expressed it to her all the time.
These words are far more beautiful than sweet talk.
"Okay. But you have to promise me that if something similar happens again in the future, no matter what the circumstances, you must ensure your own absolute safety before risking your life to save me."
Fu Sheng paused, his tone becoming more serious: "If you can't do this, then you must not act rashly."
Yan Su responded: "I have my own domain, and I know I won't get into trouble."
“I know, I’m not talking about this time,” Fu Sheng interrupted.
This time, Yan Su jumped down to save her, and the two of them were able to land safely thanks to his domain that could slow down the flow of time.
But what Fu Sheng fears is that if Yan Su didn't have the "All Things Cease" domain, he would still jump down without hesitation if he saw her fall off the cliff.
"I accept you saving me, but I don't accept you dying for me, understand?"
Yan Su fell silent.
"Speak," Fu Sheng urged when he didn't respond.
“But if you…” The word 'death' was on the tip of Yan Su’s tongue, but she paused and changed her words, “…if you were gone, my life would have no meaning.”
Fu Sheng's heart softened, and her tone gradually softened: "Yan Su, you have to believe me. You're so amazing, the person you like can't be that weak."
Upon hearing this, Yan Su stared at her with her phoenix eyes, remaining silent for a long time.
"Why are you not saying anything again?" Fu Sheng asked.
"It's nothing." He smiled slightly, then lowered his eyelashes.
What he really wanted to say was—have you forgotten that we have a contract? If you die, I cannot live on my own.
But he didn't remind Fu Sheng of this, he just nodded slightly: "I understand."
Fu Sheng had long forgotten about her master-servant contract with Yan Su. Seeing that Yan Su agreed, she thought he had finally listened to her advice and was no longer so stubborn. She felt relieved and her eyes curved into a smile: "That's right!"
After saying that, Fu Sheng began to worry again: "...but we still need to hurry back to the mountaintop."
If Qianqiuxue had already been obtained by Junwuchi, that would be one thing, but it hasn't been born yet, and everything is still uncertain. Giving up now would be premature.
"How long did it take you to reach the summit of the snow-capped mountain?" Fu Sheng asked.
“Two days,” Yan Su said.
“Two days…” Fu Sheng frowned.
For such a high mountain, and without the ability to fly on a sword, reaching the summit in just two days is truly an incredible feat.
But given the current situation, Qian Qiuxue might not appear at any time, and Junwuchi is already waiting for an opportunity to act. Two days is still too slow for them.
"By the way, didn't you use your ice and snow domain to build a snow tower and send us directly into the sky?" Fu Sheng asked, remembering what happened in the second domain. "Can you use your domain to send us directly to the top of the snow mountain now, just like you did back then?"
Yan Su shook her head: "No, this snow mountain is too high. The power of the domain is limited by its range and is not enough to send us up."
"Okay." Fu Sheng was a little discouraged.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. This snow mountain is tens of thousands of feet high. No matter how powerful the domain power is, it is impossible to build a snow tower that high. Moreover, if it could be sent directly up, Yan Su would have used the domain long ago. Why would he need to spend two days climbing the mountain?
"Alas, what a pity. If Yan Yun hadn't grown so big back then, if she had been even slightly smaller, she could have maintained that size for longer. Even if it was slower, she could at least have sent me up. It would still be much faster than climbing the mountain myself... Now that she's exhausted her energy, she can't do anything. All we can do now is..."
As Fu Sheng complained, he suddenly remembered something and stopped talking abruptly.
She looked up at Yan Su and saw that Yan Su was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and they were clearly thinking the same thing.
“Schnauzer,” Yan Su said, revealing what Fu Sheng was thinking.
“Yes!” Fu Sheng’s eyes lit up.
We were just talking about Schnauzers, how could I forget about it!
If one Yanyun falls, another 'Yanyun' can always come!
-
Top of Snow Mountain.
Jun Wuchi stood on the edge of the cliff, the deep purple in his eyes long gone, leaving only a pair of emotionless black eyes, silently gazing at the bottomless snow abyss below.
The north wind swirled snowflakes across his clothes. Ever since Yan Su leaped down, he had maintained this posture, his body covered in a layer of frost, as silent as a statue.
'Young Master, what are you thinking about?'
A clear, magnetic voice rang out, its unhurried tone like a gentle breeze caressing the strings of a zither, bringing a rare touch of warmth to the otherwise desolate scene.
However, this voice emanated from his sea of consciousness, and only he could hear it.
"I think that Yan Su's jumping down means she's giving up on competing with me," Jun Wuchi responded calmly in his mind.
'I originally thought that the young master was worried about Fusheng's safety.'
'...'
Jun Wuchi's mind was indeed still replaying the scene of Fusheng falling off the cliff.
But recalling the woman's resolute demeanor earlier, a sense of irritation inexplicably arose within him, and his tone hardened: 'Why should I worry about her?'
That's good.
The voice, whether believing or not, spoke softly and slowly: 'She is protected by the art of painting immortals; she will be fine. But young master, you must remember, she and you are ultimately not on the same path.'
Upon hearing "nothing will happen," Jun Wuchi's tension eased slightly, but the second half of the sentence caused his eyes to darken again: "I am well aware of this."
He has asked for the answer again and again.
That person's answer remained consistent.
The thought of how he had previously held onto hope and repeatedly sought confirmation from the other party filled Jun Wuchi with embarrassment and made him feel utterly ridiculous.
He lowered his gaze, turned, and walked towards the center of the snow-capped peak. 'When will the Thousand Autumns Snow be born?'
Now that Yan Su is gone, it is the perfect opportunity for him to seize Qianqiuxue. However, since he set foot here, he has never sensed the slightest trace of the divine artifact's aura. He fought with Yan Su for three days, but the entire snow mountain remained silent, without the slightest disturbance.
If the wizard hadn't been so certain that Qianqiuxue was indeed hidden in this snow mountain, he would have almost doubted whether the divine sword really existed here.
"I am ashamed to say that I have no way of knowing at the moment," the voice said.
Upon hearing this, Jun Wuchi raised an eyebrow, surprised, and said, "Are there things in this world that even wizards don't know?"
"The affairs of the world are inherently complex and unpredictable, and I am not omniscient or omnipotent." The voice remained gentle and calm, with a very peaceful tone.
Jun Wuchi remained silent.
The wizard's nature has always been like this: humble, elegant, gentle, and peaceful. Although he refers to himself as "this humble one," in Jun Wuchi's heart, he is more like a master. Whether it is ancient or modern secrets, past or future events, or the encounters of others or his own destiny, he seems to know everything.
Having known each other for so long, this is the first time a wizard has spoken of something he doesn't know.
'In my previous life…' Jun Wuchi paused for a moment, his tone hesitant, before finally speaking, 'Did I obtain the Thousand Autumn Snow?'
He only knew a vague outline of his past life. The wizard rarely told him the details. It wasn't that he wasn't curious, but whenever he pressed the wizard for answers, the wizard would usually remain silent. Even when he did answer, it was only a few words. Once, when he asked too many questions, the wizard said: "Young master, you shouldn't know too much about your past life. It will affect your choices in this life."
Since then, he has rarely mentioned it again.
"I've got it," the wizard replied, his voice gentle. "The Thousand Autumn Snow was originally a keepsake left to you by your mother. In your previous life, after her passing, you made a pact with it. It has always accompanied you in your battles, and you've used it to slay countless demons, never leaving its side."
Upon hearing the word 'mother,' Jun Wuchi's heart involuntarily quickened. 'If that's the case, then why am I in this snowy mountain in this life?'
He fell into a long silence within his mind.
Just when Jun Wuchi thought the wizard wouldn't answer his question, he heard him speak: 'Because of Yan Su's birth.'
Jun Wuchi's gaze immediately sharpened, his face as cold as ice. However, he wasn't a reckless fool; as his emotions churned, he noticed something amiss and narrowed his eyes: 'But I was only ten years old when my mother died. The wizard said that in my previous life I received the Thousand Autumn Snow after my mother's death, so why didn't I receive it in this life? Yan Su wasn't even born then; how could this be related to him?'
