119: Chapter 119 A colossal lie, yet my junior sister believed it!

Facing the Ice Snow Palace Master's doubt-filled gaze, Su Yun's heart instantly leaped into his throat.

Every word he said next would determine his life or death.

Saying one wrong word could lead to eternal damnation!

Yet, his face showed not even a hint of panic.

Instead, he let out a bitter smile that mixed helplessness, self-deprecation, and a trace of bone-deep hatred.

He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tear stains from the woman's eyes.

Then, in a tone full of vicissitudes and exhaustion, he let out a long sigh.

“Sigh...”

“It's a long story.”

He didn't answer directly, but first used a sigh to set the atmosphere.

Only then did he slowly begin the 'seamless' lie he had rehearsed countless times in his mind.

“Junior Sister, there are things you don't know.”

“In that battle back then, although I luckily escaped the siege of those three old dogs from the Heaven Burial Palace,”

“my Physical Body had already been completely destroyed by their joint efforts.”

“Even my Divine Soul suffered almost irreversible damage, leaving only a wisp of a remnant Soul to linger on the brink of death.”

As Su Yun spoke to this point, a perfectly timed look of pain from unbearable memories surfaced in his eyes.

“For all these years, to evade the pursuit of the Heaven Burial Palace, I could only hide this remnant Soul in this Lower Realm where the Spiritual Qi is thin, hiding everywhere like a stray dog.”

“It wasn't until recently that I finally found this body, which barely matches my Soul's aura, and achieved Rebirth through Possession.”

“Unfortunately, this body's natural talent is far too poor, and its cultivation is too low.”

“I spent an enormous amount of effort just to barely raise my cultivation to this current, mediocre Soul Transformation stage.”

“If that piece of trash from the Heaven Burial Palace hadn't come to my door today and pushed me to a dead end, I probably wouldn't have used the Heaven and Earth Supreme Yang Art that would expose my location for the rest of my life.”

“Sigh, in the end, it's because I, your Senior Brother, am too useless.”

“Not only did I fail to keep my former cultivation, but now I even have to let you save a cripple like me.”

These words were spoken so reasonably and so movingly.

They perfectly explained why his 'appearance had changed drastically' and his 'cultivation had plummeted'.

Moreover, he played the victim card, portraying himself as a tragic character who endured humiliation and bore heavy burdens, only to still end up as a fallen hero.

It was truly an Oscar-level performance!

As expected!

After the Ice Snow Palace Master finished listening to his 'history of blood and tears', her eyes, which had just stopped crying,

were instantly filled with endless heartache and sky-high rage!

“Heaven Burial Palace!”

She gritted her teeth, spitting out these three words one by one.

The Killing Intent contained in that voice caused the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees once again!

She could never have imagined that her Senior Brother, who was once so high-spirited and invincible, would suffer such inhuman torture!

Physical Body destroyed!

Divine Soul shattered!

Even forced to possess such a 'garbage' body!

This was simply more painful for him than killing him!

At the thought that her Senior Brother had been surviving in such a humiliating way all these years,

the Ice Snow Palace Master's heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife, aching so much she could hardly breathe!

She reached out and tightly grasped Su Yun's hand.

Those icy blue eyes were filled with determination and an unquestionable resolve.

“Senior Brother, don't worry!”

“From today onward, as long as I am here, no one in heaven or earth will be able to harm you in the slightest!”

“Those who once harmed you, I will make them pay back a hundredfold, a thousandfold!”

“So what if it's the Heaven Burial Palace?”

“Sooner or later, I will personally flatten it to avenge this blood feud for you!”

These words were spoken with such dominance and resonance!

Hearing them, Su Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart.

Holy crap!

This rich lady—no, this Junior Sister—is just too awesome, isn't she?!

Not only does she have the looks, the body, and the strength,

but she's also so protective!

This is simply a top-tier golden thigh delivered right to my door!

I’d be doing myself a disservice if I didn't cling to it!

“Junior Sister...”

Su Yun's face showed an expression full of 'gratitude' and 'relief'.

He held the woman's cold yet soft and boneless little hand in return.

He looked at her with a 'doting' gaze.

“I'm very happy that you have this heart.”

“However, there's no rush for revenge.”

“The Heaven Burial Palace is a powerful force with as many experts as clouds; it won't be easy to deal with.”

“We need to plan this carefully.”

He first soothed her agitated emotions.

Then, changing the subject, a look of 'worry' appeared on his face.

“On the other hand, it's you, Junior Sister.”

“To save me just now, you forcibly took action and triggered the backlash of this realm's Heavenly Dao. It seems... you've also been quite seriously injured?”

He remembered very clearly that after this woman repelled Silver Armor, she had vomited blood on the spot.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words,

a flash of indiscernible paleness crossed the Ice Snow Palace Master's originally murderous face.

But she held on and shook her head.

“Senior Brother, I'm fine.”

“It's just a little bit of Heavenly Dao backlash, it's no big deal.”

“Still saying it's no big deal?”

Su Yun's brow instantly furrowed.

His face showed an expression of 'heartache' and 'reproach'.

“Look at you, you even vomited blood!”

“Quick! Let Senior Brother have a look!”

As he spoke, regardless of whether she agreed or not,

he directly grabbed her wrist, which was as perfect as a work of art.

Then, he pretentiously probed a wisp of Spiritual Qi into it.

He began 'examining' her injuries.

The Ice Snow Palace Master was also stunned by his sudden domineering move.

A touch of moving red blush instantly flew across her cold and peerless face.

In all her life, except for her Senior Brother, no man had ever dared to touch her so closely.

This feeling of being domineeringly cared for by her closest person

gave her a long-lost sense of peace and sweetness.

She didn't struggle.

She just lowered her head, letting that warm, large hand hold her wrist.

Her heart began to throb uncontrollably.

After Su Yun finished his 'examination', the look of 'worry' on his face grew even deeper.

“Nonsense!”

He released her hand and scolded her in a stern tone full of 'concern'.

“Your dao foundation has developed cracks because of the Heavenly Dao backlash! And you call this no big deal?!”

“Do you want to worry your Senior Brother to death?!”

His scolding, full of 'overbearing CEO' vibes,

didn't make the Ice Snow Palace Master angry.

Instead, it made her heart feel sweet.

She looked up, her watery eyes filled with attachment to Su Yun.

“Then... then what should I do, Senior Brother?”

She subconsciously began to seek help from her 'Senior Brother'.

“What else can you do?”

Su Yun gave her an annoyed glare.

“Of course, we immediately find a place to heal your injuries!”

As he spoke, he pulled the woman's hand without allowing any argument and turned to walk toward the map of mountains and rivers.

“Come with me!”

“That Magic Treasure of mine contains its own world with abundant Spiritual Qi; it's perfect for you to heal!”
