Chapter 256 He Was the King, Not Huangfu Yi

He propped himself up slowly with one hand, and there was confusion in his eyes. His exquisite facial features were even more impressive. His silvery and soft hair cascaded down.

Murong Xue couldn't hold it anymore and threw herself into his arms. "Yii, I miss you so much." She sobbed.

But his eyes were indifferent. He instantly pushed away Murong Xue and then grabbed her neck with his slender hand. "Mu Ruoyu!"

His grip made Murong Xue feel hard to breathe. Tears streamed down from the corner of her eyes, and she had no idea what happened. She grabbed his hand with both of her hands, but she felt like an ant trying to shake an elephant's thigh. "Yii... Ah…"

Gradually, she stopped struggling. Her hands had no strength, and her face was blue from lack of air.

In a trance, she only saw great hatred in his cold eyes. At her last moment, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. What happened to him?

When Murong Xue passed out, the man let go of his hand. He saw the shocking fingerprint on her neck, and panic passed across his eyes but soon disappeared. He held her in his arms.

His eyes, unfeeling and cold a while ago, were filled with tenderness. It seemed that he had changed into another person.

Mu Ruoyu!

He stroked her face with his slender hand. It was the same face but lacked the past enchanting and amorous features.

With a wave of his hand, Murong Xue instantly restored her look as a girl.

How dare her?

He was the King in this world.

She was a God in the God Realm.

His past promise was still fresh in his mind. At the last minute, her betrayal made him feel like falling into hell, and his black hair suddenly turned white as snow.

He clutched her neck again. If he tried any harder, she would disappear.

Would she disappear?

He loosed his grip but then tightened. The hatred in his eyes remained unchanged, but he just couldn't do it anyway.

Time ticked away, and they still remained the same postures.

Murong Xue slowly opened her eyes and saw his indifferent face.

"Yii..." Her voice was slightly hoarse from the choking. She reached out to touch his face, her eyes full of yearning and deep love.

As if burned by such looks, King's face instantly changed and became a little distorted as if a storm had been coming.

Murong Xue was so sad for him that she couldn’t bear it and hugged him tightly. "No matter what happened, I love you!"

In an instant, the storm blew itself out, and here came the spring breeze.

He said in a cold tone, "Remember what you said! If it happens again... " He didn't continue.

Murong Xue gave a quiver, feeling that Huangfu Yi was a little different.

Lying in his arms, she let go of her hand and looked up at him. What caught her eye was his long white hair. She widened her eyes and reached over to touch it in disbelief. "Yii, what happened to your hair? How could…?" Her voice was trembling.

"Call me King." He didn't answer her question.

"King?" Murong Xue was confused.

"Yes." His tone was still cold.

After calming herself down, Murong Xue finally found that something was wrong. Although he had the same face as Huangfu Yi, something was wrong.

She jumped to her feet.

Only then did she find that the man in front of her was wearing a white robe, the upper part of which was untied. His fair skin revealed. His hands were still slender and beautiful, but his nails were black, and his hair was strange. It cascaded down to his bare feet.

"Yii?" Murong Xue asked tentatively with unbelievable caution.

"King!" He gave her a side look.

Murong Xue's face changed. "You are not Yii!" This sentence was affirmative. At first, she was so excited to see the same face that she didn't notice the difference. When she calmed down, she found that though the man in front of her looked exactly like Huangfu Yi, he had a completely different temperament.

King suddenly took her hand and let her fall into his arms. His icy eyes met her charming eyes. "Who is Yii?" His slender hands were once again around her beautiful neck. It seemed that if the answer she gave could not satisfy him, he could strangle her.

Murong Xue struggled and tried to use spiritual power, but she then found that she couldn't use it at all as if her spiritual power had been imprisoned. "You let me go!"

King tightened his grip. "Tell me! Who is Yii?"

"Okay."

His eyes gleamed with malice, and his grip was tighter. "I've told you to remember what you said. You said you love me!"

Murong Xue felt so much pain that she couldn’t utter a word.

King loosened his grip after a while. "Say you love me!"

Murong Xue hadn't recovered from the choking and had a cough the moment she was let go.

King held her shoulders and forced her to look into his eyes. "Say you love me!"

Murong Xue felt her heart was being pricked by a needle, and the pain overwhelmed her. Obviously, he was not Huangfu Yi, but her heart still ached for him. She couldn't bear to refuse him as if those words had been the fetters of the soul.

"I..." Murong Xue's tears rolled down. She didn't understand why, but a deep sadness filled her heart.

It was so strange. King felt that the woman in front of him was not Mu Ruoyu.

"Ruoyu…" King said in a low voice.

Murong Xue suddenly pushed him away. "I'm not Ruoyu." She had no idea why her heart hurt so much. The pain was even stronger after she heard the name "Ruoyu".

"One day you will think of it, my Ruoyu, then..." King said but he didn’t finish his words. "I'll kill you then. How could I be the only one who remembers it?" King thought to himself.

King got up. "Let's go!" He had been here for so long that he almost went rotten in this world.

If it hadn't been for the deep hatred in his heart that supported him, maybe he would have gone with the wind.

Having waited for so long, he just wanted an answer.

It didn't matter. He had waited for so many years and didn't mind waiting longer until she remembered. When the time came...

"Think of it? What did he mean by that?" Murong Xue thought to herself. She wanted to ask but was gripped by fear and seemed unwilling to know the answer. "Where are we going?" Only then did she find that she had recovered her identity as a woman, and then she instantly activated the Dragon Ring and changed back to a man's identity.

"To the outside." King said softly.

"Wait a moment!" Murong Xue exclaimed.

King gave her a look.

"Can I take these spiritual stones?" Murong Xue asked. She couldn't leave those treasures here. After all, she and her partners were dirty poor now.

"As you like."

Murong Xue immediately put those spiritual stones in the Space.

"Her temperament had changed a lot. Ruoyu wouldn't give those things a look in the past." King thought. Thinking of her cold eyes before, his heart ached again and his eyes became malicious. There was no hurry. It was no fun to kill her when she didn't remember the past. He wanted her to recover her memory and then he would kill her.

His heart ached at the thought of this.

Murong Xue came up to King after picking spiritual stones up. "I'm done." But she didn’t dare to look straight at his face.

She didn't want to see his face, which would make her miss Huangfu Yi even more.

King saw her sad eyes and took her by the hand with great force.

"It hurts." Murong Xue couldn't help but let out a cry of pain and immediately felt he loosened his grip. She didn't know why she felt that King seemed to hate her very much. His eyes always looked malicious and he had intended to kill her two times, but she didn't fear him at all.

She didn't know why she was so sure that he wouldn't kill her.

King took her hand and levitated, and soon they arrived at the mouth of the cave. The blinding sunshine hurt Murong Xue's eyes, and it took a while for her to get used to it.

"Mu Tian!"

The moment they appeared, Lin Nan and others came up. Xiaobai jumped directly into Murong Xue's arms. Before it could land, it was hit flying by a slender hand.

Murong Xue was taken aback and intended to have a look but was held by someone.

"Let go. I'm going to see whether Xiaobai is okay!" As for how horrible the man beside her was, no one knew it better than her. Her purple-level cultivation was useless in front of him. Just now he gave Xiaobai a blow and she was afraid Xiaobai might die...

King tightened his grip and his face was cold. "It's all right!"

The rest wanted to help Murong Xue but couldn't move after King shot them a look. This man was so horrible.

Just when Murong Xue was about to say something, a black whirlpool suddenly appeared above the hole.

"You shouldn't have woken up."

A deep voice came from the whirlpool. The whole world seemed to be shaken by the sound.

King suddenly looked at the whirlpool, and he instantly let go of Murong Xue's hand. He just said in a cold voice, "I'll come back. Think of everything as soon as possible. Otherwise..."

He suddenly went into the sky. The black whirlpool seemed to be opened for him. Before long, he was out of sight and the black whirlpool just disappeared.

Murong Xue's legs suddenly went limp and she fell down to the ground.

The chubby Xiaobai also ran towards her. "Are you all right?" Xiaobai didn't look well, either. No one had expected that King would break the seal and make a comeback. The world was probably going to change and be swept by the wind of many years ago.

"I'm fine." Murong Xue shook her head, but she put her right hand on her chest and bit her lower lip, her face pale.

Her heart hurt. Ever since she saw him, the heartache just wouldn't go away.

Xiaobai gave her a complicated look. At first, it just felt that Murong Xue was familiar and never thought she would really be that woman. What a twist of fate! No matter how many years had passed, no one could get rid of fate.

Lin Nan helped Mu Tian get up. "Mu Tian, are you all right? You look pale!" He asked anxiously.

Murong Xue got back on her feet and showed a wan smile to everyone. "I'm really fine. Sorry to make you worried."

In fact, they themselves didn't look much better, with black eyes and gaunt faces.

"We're happy you're alright."

"I was really scared."

Wu Xiaomei's eyes were red.

Murong Xue was moved and got a ruddier complexion. "I'm really fine. Let's find a place to sit down and rest first!" She saw that everyone had reached the limit.

"Boss…" A loud and quirky cry was heard.

"D*mn! Why are you crying? Your boss is fine!" Xiaobai gave Thunder Beast an impatient look and said.

"Boss went away without saying anything." Thunder Beast cried sadly.

Maybe because Thunder Beast's expression was so funny, everyone felt more relaxed now.

They finally showed some smiles.

They ignored Thunder Beast and kept marveling at the man. At the same time, they renewed the height of being strong.

Murong Xue had complicated feelings and couldn't calm down. Xiaobai also became unusually silent. The rest seemed too tired and went to rest after knowing Mu Tian was safe.

This seemed to be just an interlude, but it made Murong Xue rethink all her experiences, including the fate that her master told her. At first, she didn't take it seriously, but after seeing King, she had to think things over, including why Huangfu Yi refused to see her.

She was reborn, got the Space, then came into contact with ascension, and fell in love with Huangfu Yi. All of these seemed irrelevant but were actually closely related.
