The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 42: Feilei Mountain

It started raining!

The sound of thunder suddenly woke Yue Hongling.

Her heart sank.

This was bad!

She had been so absorbed in the battle that she had forgotten that Feng Wuxie might fall into danger in the recent days.

Now, the human race had been winning battle after battle, while the other races were being pushed to the extreme. A cornered dog will jump over the wall—there's no need to chase a desperate enemy. It seemed it was time to slow down the fight with the other races.

The human race could take this time to digest the treasures they had gained recently.

As for her, she decided to stay with Feng Wuxie and help him survive this calamity.

"Shixiong, you told me this was a trap, and this life, I will make sure it never happens."

Yue Hongling immediately called for Luo Yuan and Feng Longxiang.

"Miss Yue, who are we fighting next?" Feng Longxiang, who was eight feet tall and as strong as a little giant, asked.

He was from the Jie Sect, the only sect among the major powers that practiced body-forging techniques, and their cultivation method was quite interesting.

They started by growing larger, initially becoming a small giant, then shrinking, back to the size of a young boy, then growing again like a small mountain, shrinking again like a child, growing into a giant mountain, shrinking again like a baby, and repeating the process. Every cycle increased the strength of the body.

Looking at Feng Longxiang’s eyes, it was clear he had immense respect for Yue Hongling.

Luo Yuan stared at Yue Hongling, his eyes holding a hint of approval—a recognition of her beauty.

"I’ll be away for a while. You two will take charge of the human race affairs °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° from now on. No more offensive actions; just defend and digest what we’ve gained," Yue Hongling said.

"But the momentum is strong now, we’re not attacking?" Feng Longxiang asked, surprised.

"Yes, no more attacking. First, digest the heavenly treasures, turning them into our own power. That’s the real way to gain strength. If we continue attacking without increasing our power, one mistake, and we’ll lose everything," Yue Hongling replied.

"Alright, but where are you going? Why not let Shangguan Wuchang manage? I can accompany you and go explore!" Feng Longxiang said seriously.

"Shangguan Wuchang is too distracted, and I’m not going out to fight. You don’t need to follow. If you two can’t make up your minds, go find Zhu Wangtian."

"Got it."

Yue Hongling hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"If things really reach a dead end, you can go to the Tianling Pool and ask my Shixiong to come out. Once he does, all problems will be solved."

When Feng Longxiang and Luo Yuan heard Yue Hongling’s words, they both showed surprise.

Her Shixiong?

Yue Hongling was already so strong, and if she said that in a desperate situation, she would turn to her Shixiong, then her Shixiong...

"Is your Shixiong that strong?" Feng Longxiang suddenly felt a surge of battle intent.

Yue Hongling smiled, and the meaning behind that smile was truly complex.

"Anyway, you two know—if things get truly desperate, just go to the Tianling Pool. And don’t say I sent you."

Hmm, Yue Hongling was quite self-aware.

It was possible that Lu Ye had originally planned to help, but once he heard, "Oh, Yue Hongling sent you," he would change his mind.

That would be a disaster.

After settling the matters, Yue Hongling left.

She took out the magic conch.

"Where are you now?"

On the other side...

Demons, monsters, spirits, gods, and various other races had just begun to make contact. Feng Wuxie sat cross-legged, silently recovering his injuries, with two powerful demons keeping a close watch on him.

"Buzz... buzz..."

The magic conch in front of Feng Wuxie began to vibrate.

The two demons guarding him immediately became alert.

A large blade was placed at Feng Wuxie’s neck.

"You won’t say anything you shouldn’t, right?"

"I know."

His eyes held mockery and cruelty. How had he fallen to this point, and now they wanted to reach out to him?

What had they been doing before?

He had begged multiple times to join them, even resorting to pleading, but what had happened?

He couldn’t go back.

Everything was irretrievable now.

"Where are you right now?" Yue Hongling's clear voice came from the magic conch.

Feng Wuxie looked up at the two demons.

"How should we answer?"

The two demons exchanged glances. They had just finished contacting the powerful leaders of the major factions, but although they had made contact, they weren’t fully prepared yet.

"We need to ask the Little Dragon King."

"It’s too late. If I don’t reply for too long, Yue Hongling will grow suspicious," Feng Wuxie said firmly.

"Then we still need to ask the Little Dragon King!"

"I said it’s too late!"

Feng Wuxie, suddenly growing bold again, let out a loud roar, despite the blade still pressed against his neck.

The two demons...

Feng Wuxie held the magic conch to his mouth.

"Don’t worry, since I’ve already planned to design her death, I will not leave her any chance to survive. If anyone dies, it will only be me!"

"You all need to trust me now. You have no choice but to trust me!"

One of the demons left, and the other stopped refusing Feng Wuxie’s contact with Yue Hongling.

Feng Wuxie cleared his throat.

"Hongling, you actually took the initiative to contact me?"

His voice was filled with surprise.

The demon holding the blade to Feng Wuxie’s neck couldn’t help but reveal a look of contempt. What was this thing?

Buzz... buzz...

"Where are you now? I’ll come to find you," Yue Hongling asked.

"Ah, you’re coming to find me? That’s great! Let me check where I am right now and I’ll tell you the location. There’s no recognizable landmark around here."

"Okay!"

Feng Wuxie looked up at the wolf demon.

"Tell the Little Dragon King to hurry up!"

...

Yue Hongling stood on top of a small mountain, gazing at the distant waterfall, quietly waiting.

She was deep in thought.

She had been reborn!

It was true that she had been reborn, but after the rebirth, she had lost the feelings she had for Feng Wuxie in her previous life.

Without that feeling, could it still be considered love?

How should she behave when she met Feng Wuxie again?

Could she blame her Shixiong for this?

Her gaze was filled with a touch of confusion, the fluttering emotions from her past life clear in her mind.

But after everything she had been through, she was no longer the little girl she once was. Now, she had the wisdom of a great emperor.

When compared to the Dao, love and relationships seemed so weak.

If only there had been no interference from her Shixiong in her past life, how much better would it have been?

Yue Hongling grew restless.

She picked up the magic conch again. "Where exactly are you? Have you found any recognizable landmarks?"

"Hongling, don’t worry, I’m more anxious than you. I’m finally able to see you again. I’m searching right now, it won’t be long."

Yue Hongling took a deep breath, trying to calm the restlessness in her heart.

Waiting was also a kind of training.

Time passed, second by second.

Buzz... buzz...

The magic conch vibrated again.

"Hongling, I found it. It’s Feilei Mountain. Come to Feilei Mountain to find me."

Yue Hongling stood up and vanished from her spot.

Feilei Mountain, a place where demons were active—how could Feng Wuxie have ended up there?

Forget it, it doesn’t matter. The Tianjiao Battlefield, there’s nowhere I can’t go!
