Chapter 136: Love is Hidden After Parting (Special Chapter 25 — End!)
Su Lian Yue finally agreed to Jiang Xianyue’s request, but she only gave her the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
No matter if Jiang Xianyue could come up or not, she would go down to find her when the time was up.
Su Lian Yue mobilized her spiritual energy and placed a defensive barrier on Jiang Xianyue’s body. This could greatly protect her safety.
Jiang Xianyue patted her chest and promised that she would definitely complete the mission.
Su Lian Yue watched as Jiang Xianyue jumped to the bottom of the lake, and her heart couldn’t help but start to worry.
Yaoling on the side was even more nervous than Su Lian Yue. If something happened, Su Lian Yue would definitely take it out on her first.
When Jiang Xianyue entered the water, she also couldn’t feel any aura. She looked around and saw that the lake was very deep.
The surroundings were dark, and she could only vaguely see some blurry outlines.
Jiang Xianyue remembered what Yaoling had said. Only a person with an extremely high affinity for the ice element could possibly sense the aura of the Ice Spirit Divine Marrow.
She didn’t think that she had a very high affinity for the ice element, but among the three of them, she was the only one who cultivated the ice element.
So she had to come down and try no matter what.
She couldn’t sense anything in the lake, which was within Jiang Xianyue’s expectations.
She closed her eyes and began to release the Ice Heart Art.
The moment the Ice Heart Art was released, the lake water that could originally weaken the divine sense’s exploration actually lost its weakening effect. At this time, Jiang Xianyue’s divine sense could already extend to about ten miles in the lake.
She mobilized her spiritual energy and quickly shuttled through the lake. The ten-mile divine sense allowed her to accurately scan every area of the lake bottom.
Her efforts were not in vain. Jiang Xianyue finally discovered a very inconspicuous ice-elemental fluctuation at the bottom of the lake, and this fluctuation was very obvious.
Jiang Xianyue seized this opportunity and her divine sense closely followed this fluctuation.
And the thing that was emitting the fluctuation seemed to be still moving. Jiang Xianyue noticed this and quickened her pace.
Soon, she saw the object that was emitting the ice-elemental fluctuation. It was something similar to a shell.
From a distance, its size was no less than the shell bed in the mermaid tribe.
A flash of joy appeared in her eyes, and she quickly swam towards the shell.
The shell seemed to have a consciousness. Knowing that it was being targeted, it began to run wildly.
How could Jiang Xianyue let the duck that had come to her fly away? She circulated the Ice Heart Art and directly froze the water around the shell, trapping it in place.
Seeing that she had gotten the thing, Jiang Xianyue was extremely happy.
She wanted to control the shell and swim up, but the shell was too heavy. Her little bit of cultivation was actually not enough to carry it.
Jiang Xianyue had originally wanted to send a sound transmission to tell Su Lian Yue to come down and get it together, but it didn’t work at all.
The Ice Heart Art could not be used to strengthen her divine sense.
Leaving the shell in place and running back to tell Su Lian Yue was also not a good idea.
Because this little bit of cold ice spiritual energy could not control the shell. It would run away again then.
Jiang Xianyue knew that this was the only chance.
She decided to open the shell underwater and bring the treasure out.
She controlled the shell’s movement with one hand and grabbed a piece of ice blade with the other, starting to pry open the shell’s mouth.
Fortunately, the shell’s mouth was not very tightly closed. Jiang Xianyue spent a few minutes and opened it.
The moment the shell was opened, a bone-chilling cold aura was released.
There was indeed a whole new world inside. The Ice Spirit Divine Marrow was inside.
Jiang Xianyue hadn’t expected this mission to be so easy. She was just about to put the Ice Spirit Divine Marrow into her spatial ring, but the spatial ring’s grade was too low to store a divine object with a consciousness like the Ice Spirit Divine Marrow.
Jiang Xianyue had a premonition that she didn’t have much time. She had to make her own choice.
She circulated a part of her spiritual energy and attached it to her hand. There was no other way. She could only take out the Ice Spirit Divine Marrow with her bare hands.
The moment she touched the Ice Spirit Divine Marrow, she felt her body stiffen.
The Ice Spirit Divine Marrow carried a natural cold air that directly rushed into her body through her palm. Jiang Xianyue felt that this cold air had already entered her spiritual meridians and was already affecting her spiritual energy mobilization.
Clearly, this divine object had already developed a self-protection consciousness at this stage.
“So cold…”
This was a cold that even a cultivator who cultivated the Ice Heart Art could not accept. Jiang Xianyue gritted her teeth and began to swim up desperately.
But the terrifying thing was that the hand that was tightly holding the Ice Spirit Divine Marrow had already begun to freeze. She realized that she was losing control of her body, and her body began to erupt with a desire to survive.
But she was still two hundred meters away from the water surface. She had used up all her spiritual energy and had only swum about a hundred meters.
Jiang Xianyue’s consciousness began to blur as she looked at the approaching water surface.
Su Lian Yue on the shore was pacing anxiously, silently counting every passing minute.
The time was up. Su Lian Yue could not wait any longer.
Seeing this, Yaoling could only say in a low voice, “Your Excellency… if you go down now… her previous efforts might be in vain.”
“So what if they’re in vain? Nothing is more important than her.”
With that, Su Lian Yue quickly jumped into the lake. Yaoling looked at the water surface and couldn’t help but sigh.
The moment she fell into the water, Su Lian Yue sensed an extraordinary ice-elemental power.
She knew that Jiang Xianyue must have found something, but she was nowhere to be seen.
Su Lian Yue’s heart was in a mess. She gritted her teeth and erupted with a monstrous demonic energy. Instantly, the entire lake surface began to boil.
Yaoling on the ground’s expression changed the moment she sensed the demonic energy, but she quickly concealed it.
But the drawback of Su Lian Yue doing this was that the Snow Realm could no longer withstand her spiritual energy, and the space had already begun to shatter.
Su Lian Yue was not willing to expose her demonic power in front of Jiang Xianyue, because the attitude of the Mortal Realm towards demons was to kill them no matter how far away they were.
If Jiang Xianyue knew her true identity, their relationship might not be able to go back to what it was before.
Su Lian Yue would never allow such a thing to happen, but now, compared to being exposed, Jiang Xianyue’s safety was the most important.
The demonic energy began to be released, and the strength of the peak of the Mahayana realm finally broke the divine sense’s weakening effect of the lake water.
Soon, she found Jiang Xianyue, who had lost consciousness and was sinking.
Su Lian Yue’s heart skipped a beat. She almost instantly came to Jiang Xianyue’s side and held her in her arms.
At this time, most of Jiang Xianyue’s body had already frozen, and her breathing was also very weak. She was already a little short of oxygen.
Su Lian Yue couldn’t care less and began to swim out with Jiang Xianyue. But Jiang Xianyue was having difficulty breathing and could not hold on any longer. Su Lian Yue felt that her life was constantly slipping away.
Su Lian Yue could no longer care about anything else. She directly kissed Jiang Xianyue’s lips and began to transfer the oxygen in her body.
Jiang Xianyue’s fingers twitched slightly. Her body’s instinctive reaction to survive made her begin to greedily suck the air from Su Lian Yue’s body.
Su Lian Yue’s kiss was very clumsy, but at this time, she couldn’t care less and continued to swim towards the water surface.
With the breath that Su Lian Yue had passed over, Jiang Xianyue had successfully held on until she reached the water surface.
The moment she broke through the water surface, Su Lian Yue felt that the space in the Snow Realm was collapsing.
But she couldn’t care less. A gentle spiritual force hit Jiang Xianyue’s body, dispelling the cold air for her.
Seeing this, Yaoling also came over to help. The power of nature began to circulate.
A ball of leaves wrapped around Jiang Xianyue. With the joint efforts of the two, the cold air on Jiang Xianyue’s body gradually dissipated by more than half, and her face also recovered a little bit of rosiness.
Jiang Xianyue struggled to open her eyes and handed the Ice Spirit Divine Marrow in her arms to Su Lian Yue.
“Sister.. am I…. very amazing…”
“Don’t talk yet. I’ll take you out right away!”
Su Lian Yue did not take a few more glances at the Ice Spirit Divine Marrow in her arms, but she still put it away first. She held Jiang Xianyue and asked Yaoling, “How much longer can this space last?”
“Your Excellency, at most a dozen minutes.”
The collapse of the Snow Realm’s space meant that the opening time of the Snow Realm had been forcibly ended. The Snow Realm’s small world would only have a self-repair function after it was closed each time, but this time was very long.
Su Lian Yue looked up at the sky. She knew that she could not repair the collapse of the Snow Realm’s space at this speed.
“I’m taking her out. You’re on your own!”
Su Lian Yue hurriedly left after speaking to Yaoling. She needed to go back to the exit she had come from.
Yaoling looked at the two of them, her eyes flickering. She had lived in the Snow Realm for long enough. She would not leave.
And she had to say, the relationship between the two of them was really good.
The Snow Realm was not completely collapsing. Yaoling just needed to hide in a place that had not collapsed and wait for the Snow Realm to repair itself.
At the same time, the cultivators who had entered the Snow Realm were also running out like madmen.
In the last few seconds, Su Lian Yue rushed out of the Snow Realm with Jiang Xianyue in her arms.
Su Qingyu and Su Yuebai had been waiting outside for a long time.
Su Yuebai looked at Jiang Xianyue and knew that her situation was not very optimistic.
Seeing this, Su Qingyu did not say much.
Su Lian Yue felt that Jiang Xianyue’s life was stable and breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yuebai hesitated for a long time before she asked, “Master… she…”
“She’s fine. We… let’s go back to the Demon Realm!”
Su Lian Yue stroked Jiang Xianyue’s face, wanting to remember her appearance in her heart. At this time, Jiang Xianyue had already fallen into a coma.
Now was undoubtedly the best time to leave Jiang Xianyue. But would she go crazy looking for her after she woke up?
The answer was definitely yes.
Su Lian Yue could not bring her back to the Demon Realm. She had her own difficulties.
She didn’t want Jiang Xianyue to come and find her… and their companionship should also end.
Su Lian Yue made a painful decision. She pointed a finger at Jiang Xianyue’s forehead, wanting to delete her memories of herself.
This would eliminate all future troubles.
But she couldn’t do it. She didn’t want Jiang Xianyue to forget her.
Su Qingyu, who had had many opinions about Jiang Xianyue, couldn’t help but turn her head away at this time. Parting was undoubtedly the most painful thing.
After who knows how long, Su Lian Yue decided to seal Jiang Xianyue’s memories.
She hugged Jiang Xianyue tightly, wanting to merge her into her own body. Her voice trembled, “When you slowly become strong… you will slowly remember me.”
“At that time.. you will know everything…”
Su Yuebai pulled Su Qingyu away. They wanted to give their master and Jiang Xianyue some space.
“I don’t know… if you will hate me after you know that I am a demon…”
Su Lian Yue had not been like this for a long time. Ever since she had destroyed her own face, she had thought that there was nothing in this world that was worth her being sad about.
Su Lian Yue could not control her emotions, and a hot tear still fell on Jiang Xianyue’s cheek.
She had not experienced the feeling of shedding tears for a long, long time.
Su Lian Yue carried Jiang Xianyue and walked step by step to the vicinity of the Snowfall Sect. On the necessary path for the Snowfall Sect disciples to return to the sect, she gently put Jiang Xianyue down.
“You are like that not-so-perfect crescent moon… suddenly appearing in my life, reminding me of the moon that should have belonged to my own childhood.”
“Actually… I’ve been lying to you all along… my real name is…”
“Su Lingxi.”
Su Lingxi kissed Jiang Xianyue on the forehead and resolutely turned and left the Snowfall Sect.
She didn’t dare to stay for another second. She was afraid that she would regret it.
And so she completely disappeared from Jiang Xianyue’s life, as if she had never existed.

“There seems to be someone lying on the ground over there. Let’s go and take a look!”
“Eh? How is it Senior Sister Jiang? Report to the Sect Master quickly!”
