This white-robed figure was, naturally, Jun Xiaoyao.
The familiar aura he had sensed earlier was indeed Oriental Aoyue.
Jun Xiaoyao knew that Oriental Aoyue harbored a deep obsession in her heart.
And this kind of obsession was very dangerous within the Seven Deadly Sins Illusion Realm.
The situation was just as he had expected.
Oriental Aoyue's Primordial Spirit was being tainted by the Seven Sins Power.
Because her obsession was too, too deep.
Previously, Jun Xiaoyao had only heard about it from Oriental Aoyue's attendant, Xiao.
Oriental Aoyue's obsession was related to her mother's death.
But at this moment.
Watching this scene in the illusion.
Jun Xiaoyao finally understood what kind of heartache Oriental Aoyue was enduring.
Xiao was right.
Oriental Aoyue was, in fact, a woman who truly made one's heart ache.
She numbed herself with a cold personality, transforming all her sorrow and hatred into ruthlessness.
And her heart held only one singular obsession.
That was power!
And the reason she craved power.
Was because she wanted revenge!
It was hard to imagine that little Aoyue, at such a young age, had already endured so much.
At that time, she was still just a child!
Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward.
Little Aoyue in the illusion seemed to sense something and turned her head.
She saw a peerless Young Master in white robes, looking at her with gentle eyes.
With a hint of sigh.
"You are..."
Little Aoyue's expression was bewildered.
Jun Xiaoyao said nothing, slowly bent down, and gently embraced little Aoyue.
At this moment, no words were necessary.
A single hug was worth a thousand words.
What felt strange was.
Although it was an illusion.
Jun Xiaoyao felt that the body temperature and the heartbeat were real.
Little Aoyue froze.
She did not resist.
An instinctive warmth enveloped her heart.
Allowing her heart, which had been covered by negative emotions like hatred, anger, and sorrow, to feel a trace of warmth.
"Big Brother, who are you?"
Little Aoyue asked hesitantly.
"With me here, you don't have to be afraid anymore."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone was gentle.
Hearing this, a tear suddenly slipped from little Aoyue's originally hollow eyes.
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Then, Big Brother, will you always be by Aoyue's side from now on?"
"Yes."
Jun Xiaoyao said.
Little Aoyue smiled through her tears.
At the same time, Aoyue's Primordial Spirit, which had been tainted by the Seven Sins Power, gradually began to clear up.
Her Primordial Spirit gradually became transparent.
Unbeknownst to them, the illusion dissipated.
In Jun Xiaoyao's arms, he was still holding someone.
But it was not little Aoyue.
It was...
Oriental Aoyue!
At this moment, a tear also slipped from the corner of Oriental Aoyue's eye.
"Xiaoyao..."
Oriental Aoyue stared blankly at the White-robed man who was smiling gently in front of her.
When did he walk into her heart?
And save her?
"It seems you've woken up, that's good."
Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.
He had originally thought that if there was truly no other way, he would directly activate the power of the Seven Sins Seed to absorb the Seven Sins Power from Oriental Aoyue's Primordial Spirit.
But now, it seemed it wasn't necessary.
Because of his intervention, Oriental Aoyue had woken up on her own.
"You saw everything?"
Oriental Aoyue lowered her gaze.
"Yes, I just feel a little regretful."
Jun Xiaoyao shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Regretful about what?" Oriental Aoyue asked.
"That I wasn't by your side at that time." Jun Xiaoyao said.
This was not some false flattery from him.
Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words, a glimmer of crystal seemed to flash in Oriental Aoyue's eyes.
For so many years, she had been cold, ruthless, and killed countless people, earning her the title of Blood Princess.
But who knew what she was truly like beneath the mask?
And who truly understood the sorrow and pain in her heart?
Only Jun Xiaoyao had seen it.
And he had given her a warm embrace.
Regardless of whether he embraced little Aoyue.
Or the current Oriental Aoyue.
Oriental Aoyue gazed at Jun Xiaoyao.
Her veil slipped from her face, revealing a stunning countenance that made the heavens and earth pale in comparison.
"Aoyue, you..."
Jun Xiaoyao was slightly stunned.
But the next moment, he couldn't speak.
His words were sealed by Oriental Aoyue's red lips.
She kissed him.
Very forcefully.
It was hard to imagine a woman being so bold.
Only Oriental Aoyue would dare to be so proactive.
Her lips were very soft, with a burning warmth.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Oriental Aoyue panted slightly.
But unlike other women, who would be shy or bashful after a kiss, Oriental Aoyue's delicate face was only slightly flushed, and her gaze remained fixed on Jun Xiaoyao.
"Before, my life had no other thoughts besides revenge."
"But now, Xiaoyao, after meeting you, I feel that I might be able to look forward to something more."
If, before meeting Jun Xiaoyao.
Oriental Aoyue's life was a bleak expanse, shrouded in the gloom of revenge.
Then now, after meeting Jun Xiaoyao.
He was like a warm sun, illuminating Oriental Aoyue's dark life.
Who said the Blood Princess wouldn't be lonely?
It was just that she hadn't met the right person.
And now, she had.
She confessed proactively.
She didn't want to miss out.
Jun Xiaoyao was silent.
Then, he spoke.
"I'll accompany you on the path of revenge."
A simple sentence.
There was no mushy sentiment, no flowery sweet talk.
But it was this simple sentence that was more profound than any grand vow.
Jun Xiaoyao didn't know who Oriental Aoyue's target of revenge was.
Nor did he know how difficult it would be.
But he directly offered to accompany her.
This was already the most unwavering vow.
Oriental Aoyue's eyes were glistening.
She didn't have a habit of crying.
But in front of this man, she seemed to be able to shed all her cold disguises.
Revealing the softness deep within her heart.
Just like little Aoyue at that time.
Oriental Aoyue embraced Jun Xiaoyao tightly once more.
A wave of tenderness quietly flowed.
After a long while, Oriental Aoyue composed herself.
She looked at Jun Xiaoyao, her beautiful eyes, which were originally cold and emotionless.
Were now filled with an emotion of longing.
It was hard to imagine Oriental Aoyue revealing such a gaze.
This woman, who had hidden her heart with coldness and ruthlessness.
For the first time, had completely opened her heart for a man.
"Xiaoyao, whatever you want to know, I will tell you."
Oriental Aoyue's voice was as soft as a heavenly melody.
"About your goal, your target of revenge." Jun Xiaoyao said.
Although he knew Oriental Aoyue's obsession.
He still didn't know her target of revenge.
Moreover, Oriental Aoyue, as the Young Miss of the Eastern Imperial Clan, and now even the Young Clan Leader.
Was definitely a powerful and influential figure among the younger generation in the Realm Sea.
And even so, Oriental Aoyue had never stopped pursuing power and influence.
This proved that her target of revenge was definitely not a simple character.
Oriental Aoyue's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of hatred.
Although Jun Xiaoyao had brought warmth to her heart.
It didn't mean that Oriental Aoyue had let go of this hatred.
"The person who brought my mother to such a tragic state came from the Realm Within a Realm."
"Realm Within a Realm..."
Jun Xiaoyao frowned.
"That person is Saint Li!"
Oriental Aoyue, with incredibly bitter coldness, uttered the name of her target of revenge.
