Next, Jun Xiaoyao told Oriental Aoyue about Eastern Hao.
Unlike the imagined murderous coldness of Oriental Aoyue, her reaction was different.
After hearing the news, Oriental Aoyue merely said, "Is he still alive?"
Then, Oriental Aoyue looked up at Jun Xiaoyao.
There was a certain emotion surging in her eyes.
"Xiaoyao, am I… very detestable?"
"Why do you ask?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
Oriental Aoyue's lips curved into a self-mocking, somewhat sorrowful smile.
"Even though I once experienced my mother's passing."
"But later, I did the same thing as the person I hated most, Saint Li."
"I killed Eastern Hao's mother right in front of him."
"So, I am a very vicious, very cold, and very detestable woman, aren't I?"
Oriental Aoyue said this.
She, numbed by pain and revenge, had become the person she hated most.
Jun Xiaoyao was silent, then he said.
"You're right, you are indeed a woman so cold and vicious that you could be loathed and spurned by the world."
Hearing this, Oriental Aoyue's lips curved into a desolate smile.
Yes, she was such a woman.
"But…"
Jun Xiaoyao's tone shifted.
"You are my woman."
"Even if the whole world is against you, I will stand by your side."
"If Eastern Hao wants to seek revenge on you, then I will eliminate Eastern Hao."
"If the world is against you, then I will eliminate the world."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone was indifferent, as if he were a deity above all mortals.
His words might be hypocritical, and perhaps very unfair to Eastern Hao.
But in this world, when has there ever been fairness?
And Jun Xiaoyao had never claimed to be a righteous gentleman.
He only wanted the people around him to be well.
In Oriental Aoyue's black, gem-like eyes, a hint of mist appeared.
Jun Xiaoyao's words contained no declarations of love, yet they were the most beautiful words of affection in the world.
It could be said that ever since Oriental Aoyue's mother passed away, Oriental Aoyue had barely shed a tear.
But who said the Blood Princess would not cry?
A clear tear traced a path down her cheek.
"Xiaoyao…"
Oriental Aoyue offered her red lips again, kissing him.
"It doesn't matter if I am spurned by the world, as long as I have you…"
Oriental Aoyue closed her eyes and lightly kissed, thinking to herself.
Time flowed, and a warmth permeated the air.
After a long kiss, Oriental Aoyue finally let go, breathing slightly.
Her eyes became moist.
Whether from tears or some other reason, it only made her look more enchanting.
When the cold and ruthless Blood Princess transformed into a tender, gentle woman, no man could resist that charm.
And what was even more crucial was that although Oriental Aoyue didn't say anything, her moist eyes, filled with affection, conveyed the message.
Everything was understood without words.
As long as Jun Xiaoyao was willing, she could.
Because she had already recognized that Jun Xiaoyao was her only companion in this life.
"By the way, Aoyue, you asked me to come here, surely not just to see me, right?" Jun Xiaoyao said.
Oriental Aoyue's eyes drooped slightly, lost in thought.
Then, she composed herself and said seriously, "Actually, it's about the cooperation between the Ba Clan and the Doomsday Divine Sect."
"The Xuanhuang Universe might be in danger."
"Indeed, the Ba Clan has contacted the Doomsday Divine Sect; it seems their move is truly imminent," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Xiaoyao, you knew?"
Oriental Aoyue was surprised.
How did Jun Xiaoyao know about this situation?
"I knew the Ba Clan would make a move sooner or later."
"Especially now, with what happened at the Three Emperors Barrier, and my father's whereabouts unknown."
"Isn't it just a feint to draw attention?"
"It seems I was being redundant," Oriental Aoyue said.
She had originally intended to inform Jun Xiaoyao, but he already knew.
"There's another matter, and that is my Eastern Imperial Clan will also participate in the war," Oriental Aoyue said.
"Oh?"
Jun Xiaoyao looked at Oriental Aoyue.
"To fully gain the trust of the Doomsday Divine Sect, the only way is for the Eastern Imperial Clan to directly ally with them."
"And I must control the Doomsday Divine Sect, so I can only make the Eastern Imperial Clan do this."
Oriental Aoyue's tone was resolute.
At this moment, she seemed to have become that decisive, commanding Dongzun Blood Princess once more.
It must be said, this was truly a grand scheme.
For Oriental Aoyue, it was a risky move and a huge gamble.
If there was even the slightest mishap, the Eastern Imperial Clan could be in danger.
"I must personally deal with Saint Li, so I must obtain the full power of the Doomsday Divine Sect."
Oriental Aoyue's revenge goal had not changed.
"It is indeed you."
Jun Xiaoyao sighed.
Oriental Aoyue was still that Oriental Aoyue, a strong woman with decisive methods.
Only, the cost was not small.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will give a heads-up so that my people will try not to attack the Eastern Imperial Clan," Jun Xiaoyao said.
Oriental Aoyue replied, "Don't worry, my Eastern Imperial Clan's participation is actually just a gesture of allegiance; we won't truly go all out."
"It's just for show, to make a statement."
How could Oriental Aoyue truly let the Eastern Imperial Clan fully attack the Xuanhuang Universe?
It was merely a stance presented to the Doomsday Divine Sect.
As for whether the Evil Master of the Doomsday Divine Sect, Yuan Emperor, believed it, that was their own business.
"Additionally, there are some clues about the Demonic Lord and the doomsday immortal ship," Oriental Aoyue said.
"doomsday immortal ship…"
Jun Xiaoyao focused his attention.
This was an Opportunity he was particularly interested in.
This item was too important to him.
"Previously, I investigated numerous clues within the Doomsday Divine Sect."
"All those scattered traces eventually converged on one place," Oriental Aoyue said.
Jun Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, then tentatively said, "Could it be… the Origin Universe?"
Oriental Aoyue was stunned again, looking at Jun Xiaoyao.
After a while, she finally said, "Xiaoyao, how do you know everything?"
Indeed.
According to the clues Oriental Aoyue had uncovered, the doomsday immortal ship was very likely within the Origin Universe!
Now, Oriental Aoyue truly suspected if Jun Xiaoyao was a fortune-telling immortal?
"Heh, I was just guessing randomly, I didn't expect to hit the mark," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
"It seems I was truly being redundant," Oriental Aoyue said.
"No, I'm very happy that you could tell me these things," Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.
This meant that Oriental Aoyue had truly opened herself up to him completely, holding nothing back.
Oriental Aoyue nestled into Jun Xiaoyao's embrace again, like a lazy female cat.
Afterward, Jun Xiaoyao and Oriental Aoyue discussed some details of the plan.
Then, Oriental Aoyue departed.
She needed to go make some preparations in advance.
Watching Oriental Aoyue's retreating figure, Jun Xiaoyao sighed inwardly.
His relationship with Oriental Aoyue and Li Xianyao was indeed a bit complicated.
However, now was not the time to think about such things.
"The Ba Clan should be moving soon, right?"
"Next, I should have a Breakthrough."
Jun Xiaoyao murmured, then ascended into the air and returned to the Xuanhuang Universe.
