Long River Eternity

"I..." Ye Tingxue gently rubbed her temples. The memory made her head ache. After a moment, she whispered, "I only remember that scene—you were engulfed in the flames of the Ghost Chariot. In that critical moment, I tried my best to activate the Green Leaf Condensation Technique. A loud bang erupted inside my body, and my entire body and soul were struck by a powerful energy. What happened after that is a complete blur."

Yang An listened quietly, feeling a surge of unease. He told her everything he had seen, and Ye Tingxue was stunned. She had never expected the situation to be so complicated, and even she herself seemed to have changed.

"What method did you use? How did you defeat the Ghost Chariot so easily? Is it because of the Netherworld Divine Land?" Yang An asked urgently.

"The situation was extremely urgent at the time. I thought of the Nine Phoenix and the Soul-Slaying Banner fusing to form the Ghost Chariot, which would greatly increase its strength, so I thought of using my soul to fuse with the Netherworld Divine Land." Ye Tingxue's voice flowed out slowly, as if recalling the urgency and determination of that moment.

"I think this might significantly increase my soul power. Initially, I allowed my soul body to merge with the divine soil. Although my power increased, it still took a tremendous effort to defeat the Ghost Chariot at that time."

"When I saw you being devoured by the black flames, I was extremely anxious and merged a large number of dead souls into my soul body. Perhaps it was because the souls and bodies of those dead souls were merged into the Xirang before they died, and they suffered torture. The hostility of the dead souls was more intense than the souls in the Soul-Slaying Banner, and it instantly broke through my consciousness, and was replaced by a completely different emotion. That's why my temperament changed drastically." She spoke slowly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

Only then did Yang An understand that Ye Tingxue took the risk because she cared about him. Having lost his parents at a young age, he felt both touched and guilty when Ye Tingxue was the first person besides his sister Yang Nian who was willing to take the risk for him.

In fact, the two have fought side by side for ten years, and their friendship has long surpassed that of ordinary friends.

But in this dangerous world, even though the outside world believed that they were a couple, the two of them never broke that layer of window paper.

However, now that Ye Tingxue was willing to risk her life for him, Yang An could no longer ignore his deep feelings for her.

He slowly raised his hand and gently brushed away a strand of hair from her forehead. His palm gently stroked her slightly pale cheek, his voice gentle but firm: "Silly girl, I will never let you do such a dangerous thing again. I will do my best to protect you, even with my life. Are you willing to give me this chance?"

Ye Tingxue's distinct black and white eyes fixed on Yang An, stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected his confession to be so sudden. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and then the corners of her mouth lifted into a brilliant smile, and she nodded solemnly, "I do."

Hearing that Ye Tingxue agreed to him, Yang An seemed particularly happy. He held Ye Tingxue's hand tightly and didn't know what to say for a moment. In the original world, Yang An, who was nearly 30 years old, had devoted himself to study and scientific research since childhood. He was a typical science boy and had never been in a relationship. This was the first time he confessed to a girl, and he was still a little nervous inside.

Ye Tingxue looked at the smirking Yang An and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If those who admire you see the Chaos Body Yang An showing this silly look, your image will collapse."

"I'm not a celebrity, so how can I have any personality?" Yang An shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Aren't you a celebrity yet? In this age without the internet and backward communications, your name has spread throughout the entire Pangu Continent. I've heard more than once that you're calm and composed, graceful, talented, and possess the potential to be an emperor..."

"Alright, alright." Yang An quickly interrupted Ye Tingxue's compliments with a smile, "You're making me embarrassed. We're so famous now because we're disciples of the Taoist Master. If we weren't the only disciples of Taoist Master Fuxi in billions of years, we wouldn't have gotten these false reputations."

At this time, there was a movement from the conch shell on Yang An's body. When Yang An raised his hand, the conch shell appeared in his palm, emitting a faint light and accompanied by slight vibrations.

Yang An tapped the conch lightly with his finger, and Shi Gang's voice came from inside: "Hey! Old Yang, do you hear that? Hey!"

"I heard it. What's wrong?" Yang An heard that Shi Gang's tone was not urgent, so he said easily.

"I have the ferocious beast Xiu Snake on my side, and I have already dealt with it. How is it going on your side?" Shi Gang asked.

"We had the ferocious beast Dafeng and the demon tribe's Jiufeng on our side. Fortunately, with Yi's help, we were able to resolve it. Is Yao still with you?"

"He said he had an agreement with someone to go to the Western Regions to continue slaying ferocious beasts, and he'd already left. I told him there was already plenty of money to be made there, so he didn't need to go. But he insisted on going, and I couldn't stop him. But I've already contacted your sister, and I'll come find you when we meet up here."

"The person he made an appointment with is Yi. It's a long story, let's talk about it when you get here. I'm now in Kangen City in the central part of the Eastern Wilderness. Ye Tingxue was slightly injured. We will stay here for a while and then meet here." Yang An said.

"Okay, see you then." After saying that, Shi Gang disconnected the connection.

Yang An put away the conch shell and said softly to Ye Tingxue, "Then we will stay here for a few more days and wait for Shi Gang and my sister to come. You just woke up, so you should rest a little longer."

Ye Tingxue smiled and nodded, so Yang An helped Ye Tingxue lie down again. After she fell asleep, he extinguished the candle and quietly left the room.

Not long after Yang An left, Ye Tingxue on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils flashing a faint red light in the darkness. The corners of Ye Tingxue's mouth raised, revealing a strange and sinister smile of success.

Soon he fell into a deep sleep again.

Three days later, Shi Gang and Yang Nian finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, Ye Tingxue's injuries had basically healed. She only felt a little dizzy occasionally, but there was nothing else unusual.

After the few people met, they told each other about their encounters with the ferocious beasts. Now three of the six ferocious beasts in the legend have been eliminated. According to the legend, the remaining Yali should be in the Western Regions, Jiuying is in the North Sea, and Fengxi is in the Central Plains.

Once Hao Fei, Han Dong and Qin Hanming deal with the remaining three ferocious beasts, a situation of ten suns suddenly appearing.

Yang An told a few people about his speculation and concerns. They all looked extremely surprised. They didn't expect that they would witness one of the most famous myths in China.

But he also had the same doubt as Yang An: where did those ten golden crows get the courage?

"Master, nothing will happen to me, right?" Shi Gang suddenly asked doubtfully.

"Who on this continent can hurt your master? Even my master may not have the strength to do so." Ye Tingxue retorted.

Just as they were discussing this, a young man in feathered robes suddenly appeared before them: "My good disciples, do you want to be my master?"

"Master?" "Master?" Several people asked in surprise in unison.
