252: Chapter 252 Your Majesty, Don't Forget Daji

With deliberate adjustment, her body temperature rose significantly compared to before.

She was also trying to use this intimate posture to hide the abnormalities in her body.

Looking at Su Chen before her, Su Daji felt both surprise and sorrow in her heart.

She was surprised that her body had reached the point of being like a lamp running out of oil, where even with her cultivation, the fact that her body was failing could no longer be hidden from Su Chen, who only had a seventh-rank cultivation.

She feared that her remaining time was already being measured in hours.

She hoped that the Su Chen before her... would not notice anything unusual.

Su Chen looked at her smiling face, which was no different from usual, and the slight sense of abnormality in his heart vanished completely.

Immediately, he felt ridiculous for his own thoughts.

The Su Daji before him was a Transcendent Heroic Spirit, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox who could fight her way through the Immortal Realm in the Great Yin world while carrying her own corpse.

How could she possibly catch a cold like an ordinary woman?

He shook his head with a bit of amusement.

Realizing this might be the last embrace with Su Daji for a while, he instinctively held her a little tighter.

After holding her for a while, Su Chen could feel that Su Daji in his arms was becoming a bit restless.

Su Chen had to endure the heat coursing through his body, but he didn't dare to actually have another "farewell bang" with Su Daji right now.

Otherwise, when he teleported in front of Zhuge Jinyu and the others...

With their cultivation levels, wouldn't they slaughter him once they saw the signs?

He soothed Su Daji, handed her his remote control, and signaled with his eyes that this was as far as it would go.

The two of them embraced and sat down on a bench at the edge of the Star-Gazing Platform.

Shoulder to shoulder.

Gazing at the starry sky above.

Neither spoke again, just sitting quietly.

As if they wanted to engrave this moment of tranquility and companionship into their very bones.

Time passed quietly.

The sun had already risen halfway into the sky.

The stars in the half of the sky belonging to the night seemed to have dimmed slightly.

The countdown in Su Chen's mind finally reached its end.

[Instant Teleportation Cooldown: 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds. Skill ready.]

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat involuntarily.

He took a slight breath, withdrew his gaze from the starry sky, and let it fall on the woman leaning quietly against him.

In the night, her expression was serene, even carrying a hint of satisfaction.

At this moment, she was like a weary bird that had finally found its home.

She already possessed her entire world.

Even though, compared to those thousand years of bitter waiting...

It was only a brief moment.

Su Chen composed himself for a while before finally speaking.

"Demon Concubine Su Daji."

"Hmm?"

Su Daji didn't open her eyes, only giving a soft response.

Her head rubbed against his shoulder.

Like a fox dependent on its master, she greedily breathed in the reassuring scent on him.

Su Chen was silent for a moment, organizing his words.

In the end, he chose to be honest.

Firstly, because Su Daji's current fragile and non-combative behavior made him, a "scumbag" about to leave his "main wife" for a "mistress," feel a few degrees of soft-hearted guilt.

Secondly, because the System had just told him in his mind that anything he wanted to say should be said to Su Daji now.

Her strength was great; the fact that he wanted to teleport could not be hidden from her.

Besides that, there were other reasons the System hadn't explicitly stated.

"I... have to go."

Hearing these words,

Su Daji's delicate body trembled slightly.

After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes, turned her head, and looked at Su Chen.

In the night, her beautiful face was incredibly calm.

There was no shock or anger as Su Chen had expected.

Those fox-like eyes didn't turn red as Su Chen had anticipated.

She just looked at him quietly.

Then, she very slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

Showing a gentle smile.

The peerlessly beautiful yandere immortal before him now looked like a young wife seeing off her husband, just as she had back in the Great Yin.

There were no other emotions in that smile, only bottomless love.

"I know."

"I've known for a long time."

"My King, you might not believe it, but your Demon Concubine Su Daji is indeed... omnipotent."

Su Chen was stunned.

"You..."

He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"You want to use your teleportation skill to leave this place and go to the East Sea, right?"

Su Daji finished for him, as if discussing something that had nothing to do with her.

"Your heart rate quickened, and your gaze would drift toward the southeast from time to time."

"How could I not know?"

"More importantly... I know you too well."

"My King has never been someone content with being imprisoned."

"In fact, I'm afraid your heart has never belonged to me alone."

Hearing this, Su Chen's heart sank, and he was suddenly speechless.

The young girl in his arms blinked, as if she could see through everything.

It turned out she knew everything.

Even her suggestion to come out with him was likely just her playing along for this final act.

Could it be that her previous yandere behavior was also an act?

Su Chen thought back to his treatment in the Star-Plucking Tower over the past few days.

Never mind, there was probably no way that was an act.

"It's all right, My King."

Su Daji reached out, her fingertips gently brushing across his face.

"If you want to go, then go."

"Demon Concubine Su Daji won't blame you."

"Demon Concubine Su Daji..."

Su Chen's heart was shaken.

The yandere suddenly turning into a gentle and lovely girl actually made him a bit hesitant.

No.

I still have to leave quickly.

Who knows if Su Daji's current appearance is an act?

If she found out that I'm actually going to find several other casual flings, I'd probably be locked in a little black room again the next second.

"My King, I know you love me."

Su Daji continued.

"Just like in our past life, you used your own life to love me."

"In this life, you are also willing to accompany me and humor me."

"Even with the world in your heart, you still do your best to respond to me."

"That's enough, truly."

"This world... needs you more now."

"There are others waiting for you too."

"Aren't there?"

"Go. Do what you must do."

"Go protect the people you want to protect, and this world."

"Only..."

She paused, her eyes shimmering with tears.

"Don't forget Demon Concubine Su Daji."

"Don't forget that somewhere, there is a silly fox who once loved you very, very much."

"Who loved you for two lifetimes with everything she had."

"And don't forget... to live well."

"Together with Demon Concubine Su Daji's share."

With that, she released the arms she had wrapped around Su Chen.

Hearing her words, Su Chen's nose suddenly stung, and his eyes instantly grew hot.

He abruptly reached out and pulled her tightly into his arms once more.

His grip was so strong it was as if he wanted to rub her into his own body.

This was the first time since the investment ended that he had proactively embraced her with all his might.

Her body was so soft and light, as if it would break at a touch.

"I'm sorry... Demon Concubine Su Daji, I'm sorry..."

"You still have to stay here and guard this place, right?"

"Once I've handled the matters at the East Sea, I will definitely come back to be with you as soon as possible, I promise."
