“Are you begging me?” The Celestial Phoenix Maiden sneered.

Song Xiaojun couldn’t move her body, but still seriously nodded, saying, “Yes, I beg you, don\'t kill me now.”

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden went silent for a moment, before she opened her mouth again, “Do you know that, Ye Qingyu never bows to the enemy, even more would never beg the enemy for mercy to live. He had fought his entire life and had been in danger countless times, but had never begged for mercy. You are his lover, why are you like this.”

In that tone of voice, there was indisputable hatred.

“You love him too, don\'t you?” Song Xiaojun suddenly spoke, changing the topic abruptly.

At this moment, she could clearly feel that the fire palm around her neck was suddenly tightening again, and that the scorching flame seemed to be swallowing her head, but she did not struggle as before, as though she had already accepted her fate.

“But he\'s in love with you.” There was a loneliness in the voice of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden.

“Then it seems my guess is correct.” The corners of Song Xiaojun\'s mouth curved in a faint smiling expression. “Yes, what woman wouldn\'t like a man like Brother Qingyu. Even the high and mighty heaven\'s prideling, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, will also fall in love with him... Since you like him, then don\'t kill me. I can give him to you.”

“Shut up.” The Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s voice grew furious all of a sudden. “Do not use the means of your Unmoving City of Darkness to sway my mind. If I want to get his interest, I will fight for it myself. I don’t need your help. A woman like you really doesn’t deserve him... Wouldn\'t it be more painful to love the wrong person? If I killed you, it would also be a great relief to him.”

With that, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden began to gather power to her fingers.

The flames of the True Phoenix poured into Song Xiaojun\'s body, and pain that was similar to being hacked to pieces instantly spread all over Song Xiaojun\'s body.

But she did not struggle in the slightest, and the expression on her face did not show the slightest pain.

Instead, there was a hint of a smile on her beautiful, flawless face.

“You love him very much, don\'t you? If you love him, then you shouldn\'t kill me.” A very calm smile spread across Song Xiaojun\'s face. That smile contained many emotions, sadness, relief, worry, which all in the blink of an eye vanished, turning into a peaceful calmness.

In spite of the sharp pain burning her body, she ignored the flame that was choking her neck and abruptly turned around. There was a sacred resoluteness on her flawless face as she quietly looked at the Celestial Phoenix Maiden.

The moment she saw the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s face, Song Xiaojun\'s breath was taken away. She is indeed a woman of matchless beauty. A woman like her is also worthy of Brother Qingyu.

She then stared into the eyes of the Celestial Phoenix Maiden, her voice soothing but firm as she said, “Brother Qingyu is facing an unprecedented crisis. He is already injured, if I die in front of him, his mind will certainly fall into disorder. He will no doubt lose this battle, and then be killed. Do you want to watch the person you love die in front of you? I think the reason you were able to get out of the puppet curse seal so quickly and regain your consciousness is not just because of the harvest you got from the Emperor battle. You broke the shackles because you love him, you wanted to help him, isn\'t that right?”

All of a sudden there was an irritable feeling in the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s heart.

For some reason, looking at this delicate woman who looked like she came out of a painting, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s determination to kill was fluttering indefinitely. This woman is the one he loves. If I kill her, he will be very heartbroken, and will also hate me from then on, right?

A hint of bitterness flashed in the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s eyes.

Song Xiaojun smiled, “My life is now in your hands, it makes no difference whether you kill me now or later. When Brother Qingyu finishes his battle, as long as you don\'t let him see the scene of my death, you can kill me anytime. If you don\'t believe me, then plant the Phoenix Nirvana Flame in my body, I won’t fight back.”

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden was taken aback.

It turns out that the reason she begged her not to kill her was not because she was afraid of death, but she did not want Ye Qingyu to see her die. The Celestial Phoenix Maiden must admit that, given Ye Qingyu\'s feelings towards Song Xiaojun, if he sees Song Xiaojun killed, he would certainly panic and lose the Emperor battle.

It turns out that this was her worry.

For Ye Qingyu, she not only did not care about her life, but also did not care about her dignity and honour as the Emperor of Darkness. She was willing to give up everything and beg an enemy for mercy... It turned out she loved him this deeply.

“If Brother Qingyu does not see me die in your hands, then without me, Brother Qingyu will certainly choose you instead.” Song Xiaojun spoke again, “Isn\'t this a choice that satisfies both sides?”

Staring at the woman in front, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s gaze was unconsciously wavering. She appeared to be caught in a long period of hesitation and entanglement, a look of struggle and pain surfacing on her face.

Song Xiaojun did not speak, nor did she take the opportunity to fight back.

She waited quietly for the Celestial Phoenix Maiden’s final answer in an undefended manner.

It was unknown how long it was before the Celestial Phoenix Maiden came out of her trance.

She was startled, aware of her carelessness, and then looked at Song Xiaojun again, frowning, “It was a good opportunity for you, why not take the opportunity to try to resist, perhaps...”

“I\'m worried that if a battle broke out here, it\'s going to distract Brother Qingyu.” Song Xiaojun smiled. “At this time, I don’t want Brother Qingyu to take risk.”

“But have you ever thought that, even if he is not distracted, he is no match for the Sky Emperor. He can\'t win this Emperor battle?”

Song Xiaojun slightly lifted her head, eyes smiled like crescent moons, and spoke in a tone full of confidence, “No, you are wrong, Brother Qingyu will win, I believe in him, no matter what kind of desperate situation he\'s in, he will never let the people who love him down.”

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden was taken aback again.

The girl\'s confident smile was like the most beautiful light in the world, dazzling her like she was in direct sunlight.

So, she seemed to have finally made her decision and nodded firmly.

“Fine, I promise you, I won\'t kill you now, but I have a requirement. You have to scatter all your yuan energy of darkness, become an ordinary person, let go of all resistance and let me plant the Phoenix Nirvana Flame in your body. Only then will I fully believe you. If you make the slightest movement, the Nirvana Flame will erupt and instantly incinerate your body and soul.”

Speaking of this, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden\'s expression turned resolute, asking in an unquestionable tone, “Do you dare to say yes?”

Song Xiaojun almost did not think, “Yes.”

She did not even have the intention to bargain, spread her hands out slightly, and the power of the darkness bloodline in her body began to dissipate as quickly as a receding tide.

As the darkness bloodline gradually vanished, the aura of Song Xiaojun also reduced as a result.

The power of this bloodline had brought Song Xiaojun near the peak of martial arts, but also gave her hope to set foot onto the realm of the true Martial Emperor in the near future. But it was also the power of this bloodline that once made her forget the most important person in her life. At the same time of becoming the high and mighty Emperor of Darkness she also had to shoulder the fate of countless people. She had no choice but to struggle in worldly affairs. Even as the Emperor of Darkness, she was also impacted by this turbid world.

There had been countless times, in the dead of night, sitting high above on the cold, dark throne alone, overlooking the towering one hundred fifty million kilometers of the great wall, overlooking the Dark Realm east of the great wall, overlooking the chaotic area west of the great wall, Song Xiaojun had asked again and again whether it was because of the outbreak of the power of her bloodline that led Ye Qingyu to choose to leave White Deer Academy and go to Youyan Pass, a bitter and cold place, to improve himself, which then led to a series of other things?

If the power of the dark bloodline had been dormant in her body all along, then would Ye Qingyu quietly stay in White Deer Academy to complete his studies and perhaps become a great hero of the Snow Empire. He would not have to bear so much pain and suffering, and would not have to take on so much responsibility?

If the power of the dark bloodline did not break out, then would she continue to stay at White Deer Academy and continue to be the dazed little girl who always followed Brother Qingyu? Would she have continued to practice martial arts and wait until the time is right to confess to Brother Qingyu, and become a well-behaved little wife?

Song Xiaojun was willing to pay any price if she could remove the power of the darkness bloodline in her body.

If time can be turned back, she really wanted time to return to the sunny morning in White Deer Academy, back to the early morning when she met Brother Qingyu. Then she would certainly watch the heroic-looking young man from afar, and then calm her pounding heart to go up to say hello...

If...

If time can be fixed at that moment, how good would that be?

Unfortunately, everything cannot turn back.

My Brother Qingyu, let me do one last thing for you. To be able to see you in the last moment of life, to be able to hold your warm hand is already a dream come true.

The power of darkness dissipated like a tide.

She had evaporated the blood from every blood vessel in her body.

Although her body was already controlled by the power of True Phoenix\'s flame, she was still able to do this since the power of darkness came from the bloodline. The evaporation of blood would also lead to her power fading away naturally.

Song Xiaojun\'s complexion slowly grew pale.

As the blood flowed away, her face grew paler.

This evaporation of blood was completely different from the draining of blood of an ordinary person. For a martial artist——especially a bloodline martial artist like Song Xiaojun, it was simply the most brutal and terrifying torture in the world.

The Celestial Phoenix Maiden stared at Song Xiaojun, eyes calm and indifferent.

From the beginning to the end, she was like an indifferent bystander, watching the high and mighty Emperor of Darkness fall from the clouds. It was as if one of the most beautiful flowers on the tallest branch in the sky had been blown by the merciless cold wind, its petals scattered and eventually fell into the dust.
