The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 32: That’s Not Love

Yue Hongling did not choose to merge with the Pure Water Pearl.

She restrained her body's desire, the primal instinct of all living beings to survive.

Endless pain flooded her mind.

Her brain kept issuing commands, urging her to absorb the Pure Water Pearl, to absorb it immediately.

It turned out, her senior brother had endured this kind of pain back then.

To enhance his talent, he had actually suppressed the very instinct to survive.

No wonder her senior brother had suffered such severe injuries.

No wonder, no wonder...

It was too painful!

Yue Hongling deeply felt the pain her senior brother had endured, and intense regret tore at her heart like countless venomous insects.

Her senior brother had truly been too kind to her.

In this world, which man could treat her better than his own life?

Feng Wuxie couldn’t do that!

Although she had never been with Feng Wuxie, she could be certain that Feng Wuxie could never do such a thing.

But her senior brother, that wasn't love!

No matter how good he was to her, without that fleeting heartbeat, she could only feel gratitude, not love, towards him.

It was only when she was with Feng Wuxie that Yue Hongling felt that excitement, her heart racing, her body heating up.

Senior Brother, in this life, apart from being with you, I will agree to anything, even if it means dying for you!

Yue Hongling silently swore an oath in her heart.

She started swimming upwards, her strength gradually dwindling.

No, she really couldn’t hold on much longer.

After much hesitation, Yue Hongling finally decided to refine the Pure Water Pearl.

Her senior brother had no use for it, but if he had, she would have willingly given him the treasure for free.

Since her senior brother had no use for it, after improving her own body, she would definitely go help him find a very precious treasure.

With the swallowing of the Pure Water Pearl, Yue Hongling’s injuries began to recover rapidly, and the Pure Water Pearl continued to alter her physique, expelling countless impurities.

Yue Hongling’s cultivation began to break through.

She was about to shatter her core and enter the Nascent Soul stage.

Yes, when she fought Shangguan Wuchang before, she had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, but she had hidden her realm.

In fact, if Yue Hongling were at the Nascent Soul stage, she could have easily severely injured Shangguan Wuchang with a single strike.

After all, she was a reincarnated Emperor.

By the time Yue Hongling’s injuries healed and her breakthrough succeeded, reaching the lake's surface, Shangguan Wuchang was already standing there, holding his Fangtian Huaji, waiting for a long time.

"We didn't finish the fight properly in the water, how about we have another round now? What do you think?"

The heavy Fangtian Huaji swung, pointing at Yue Hongling as he spoke.

Yue Hongling’s beautiful face revealed a cold smile. “You couldn’t even defeat me in the water. Don’t think you stand a chance now.”

The Fearless Divine Fist struck again.

A fist imprint rushed toward Shangguan Wuchang. He swung his Fangtian Huaji, slashing through the fist mark, already planning his follow-up attack.

However, the moment the Fangtian Huaji and the fist imprint collided, Shangguan Wuchang felt an immense, unbeatable force surging from the fist imprint.

"Boom!"

The Fangtian Huaji was lifted high.

Shangguan Wuchang's face flushed, and his body couldn’t stop; each step left a deep imprint in the ground. He retreated more than a dozen steps before barely managing to stop his momentum.

He stared at Yue Hongling in horror.

How is this possible?

Yue Hongling, however, ignored him. She had no intention of killing this guy—let him be for Shangguan Huanling!

...

Lu Ye walked out of the volcano, a ball of flames like a ribbon wrapped around his Nascent Soul.

One of the three flames in the volcano had extinguished.

This meant that a divine flame had been taken.

The divine flame Lu Ye took was called the Daylight Yang Flame. Its temperature was high enough to be useful until reaching the Fourth Heaven, and if it wasn’t, it could be upgraded.

Next location.

Bai Yao Valley.

To gather his second life, Lu Ye needed a Golden Sunflower from the core of Bai Yao Valley. It was incredibly difficult to find such a thing outside. In his past life, it was here that he had found it.

His figure departed.

Chu Ling also left.

She had now realized something very real and terrifying.

That was, Lu Ye's strength was growing increasingly powerful. If her cultivation continued to progress so slowly, she would no longer have the qualifications to follow Lu Ye in the future.

In her past life, Lu Ye had actively brought her along.

In this life, however, Lu Ye wouldn’t care about her life or death.

She calculated the time.

Other demons, monsters, and various forces would soon arrive. Those things were far from the Tianjiao Ancient Battlefield, so they were a bit delayed.

Lu Ye looked up.

And saw purple and black whirlpools appearing in the sky.

Vibrantly colored whirlpools, almost appearing one after another with barely a minute’s gap, followed by demonic, ghostly, and妖气 (demonic qi), eerie howls, manic laughter, roars...

Lu Ye took one look and didn’t care anymore. In fact, he even felt some disdain for these noisy beings.

His figure arrived at Bai Yao Valley, a place filled with various kinds of formations. The rumor was that this was once an ancient and powerful sect’s medicinal garden.

Lu Ye, however, knew the rumor was false.

Because the formations here had all been set up by one person, who had wanted to # Nоvеlight # use the formations to challenge the countless ancient Tianjiao, a formidable figure.

Even though he had died in battle later, his formations had contributed greatly, and his name had been passed down through the ages.

Of course, he wasn’t dead yet.

The people in Bai Yao Valley were tirelessly studying the formations. To formation masters, the herbs might not even be as valuable as these formations.

Because when the formations were set up, the formation master was only about twenty years old, and his ideas were very suited to the younger disciples.

One of the people kept disappearing and reappearing.

This was because he was constantly breaking through the formations only to encounter new ones. Watching the speed at which he was breaking the formations, Lu Ye’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

How did he discover such a talented formation master?

Looking at the speed of breaking formations...

Normally, such a person shouldn’t be nameless. If he was, there could only be one possibility.

He died halfway through.

Lu Ye felt some regret. A formation master with such talent had died before he could fully grow. It was truly a pity.

He could help him a little.

Lu Ye entered the formation. It wavered slightly, and his figure completely disappeared.

He entered the formation, but instead of breaking it, he chose to use it. Soon, his figure appeared in front of the formation breaker.

The formation breaker was focused on his work, and suddenly, a person appeared, startling him.

“You, you... are you a human or a ghost?” The young man, with red lips and white teeth, asked with some fear.

Lu Ye???

“Have you ever seen a ghost?”

“No... no.”

“Then have you ever seen a human?”

“I have.”

“What’s the difference between me and a human?”

The young man finally regained his composure, somewhat embarrassed. The sudden appearance of Lu Ye had indeed startled him.

“Sorry, you... you’re more handsome than anyone.”

Lu Ye couldn’t help but laugh. This kid—was he foolish? He had some emotional intelligence. Was he emotionally intelligent? He was actually quite smart.

“What’s your name?”

“I’m Li Huaiyu.”

“Hmm, continue breaking the formation well. Focus and comprehend carefully.”

With that, Lu Ye’s figure disappeared.

Li Huaiyu’s eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the direction Lu Ye had disappeared. He then looked back at the intact formation.

How... how did he do that?
