1 Chapter 2335
In a red pavilion inside Great Love immortal venerable's grotto heaven, two figures were sitting next to each other.
One was a man considered so handsome that he was almost beautiful; he was wearing a simple black robe. Sitting directly opposite him was a woman with unparalleled beauty wearing a white one.
"Fang yu- great love immortal venerable, I have disposed of the remaining heavenly court immortals; no one in the entire 5 regions and 2 heavens is left standing in your way."
Fang Yuan looked at Bai Ning Bing and frowned ever so slightly.
"Ning Bing, there's no need to act so formal; it's just the two of us here."
Bai Ning Bing's cold demeanor dropped, and a blush made its way onto her face.
"I'm sorry, it's just that there have been rumors about us, and I've been making sure to not give any of those newsmongers any more ideas."
Fang Yuan looked at her and chuckled. Bai Ning Bing's face turned red, and she looked at Fang Yuan questioningly.
"What's so funny?"
"Doesn't this remind you of Shang Clan City and how those mortals kept talking about us and Shang Xin Ci?"
Bai Ning Bing froze when she heard Fang Yuan mention Shang Xin Ci's name.
"Ah, I suppose so, yes..."
Fang Yuan looked at Bai Ning Bing, and his smile suddenly grew wider.
"Ning Bing, are you jealous again? Well, I mean, I do remember you being quite infuriated when I took her into my grotto heaven. You do know I only love you, right?"
Bai Ning Bing started sputtering because she didn't know what to say. After a moment of awkward silence, she asked
"If your love for me is as you claim, then why haven't you proposed to me yet?"
It was Fang Yuan's turn to be bewildered! He coughed and simply stated,
"The five regions simply aren't ready to hear such a scandal. At least not while we're still building our sect's foundation."
"Bullshit. You never cared about things as fickle as reputation."
"I'm just sayin-"
"I don't want to hear it, Fang Yuan. Just tell me why we can't even perform a simple wedding ceremony in secret. Is it... Is it because you're still obsessing over the fact that I used to be a man?"
Immediately, Fang Yuan's face contorted into an expression of anger: "What!? No, of course not!"
Fang Yuan stayed silent, and finally he let out a sigh.
"After enslaving Spectral Soul immortal venerable, I found out that the true recipe for the Rank 10 sovereign immortal fetus, needed not only the lives of every living being but their souls as well."
Bai Ning Bing's body shook and she realized everything. "If you advance to rank 10, you won't be able to revive me. You've been putting off my love for you because you're unsure if you'll be able to commit to the act of genociding the entirety of the world because of me."
Fang Yuan shook his head.
"No, I've... I've already decided that it isn't me who should advance to rank 10, it's you. I planned to use switch soul immortal Gu on you right before my ascension."
"Fang Yuan... Y-you gave up your plans on achieving immortality for me?"
"Bai Ning Bing, my love for you knows no bounds I am unwilling to let you die but I cannot live knowing none of us have experienced immortality. I wanted you to experience immortality for me. I planned on erasing your memories of me so you would live on without having to mourn for me. I distanced myself away from you all this time because I know, I know I wouldn't be able to commit this act if I had gone even further into our relationship with you.
"So please... Please don't make it more difficult then it already is for me."
