《Ancient God (Ancient Love Poetry)》Chapter 17: Return (Part 1)

The dark and deep purple long silk skirt poured down from the waist, the layers of various patterns around the bottom of the skirt, outlining a fancy and tough edge. The totem of the nine-tailed demon fox soared on the sleeve, empty and mysteriously, with a somewhat overpowering sonorous face. Long hair was casually draped over the shoulders, not at all failing the depression of Chongzi Palace. Chang Qin seemed to have transformed suddenly as she stood in front of the Gate of Life and Death, staring at Sen Yu with indifferent eyes.
If it weren’t for the very strange atmosphere, Hou Chi would have whistled at Chang Qin like in the Mortal Realm scripts. This look, this posture, this temperament was so much stronger than the one standing to the side. She glanced at the nervous woman in light purple standing behind Sen Yu, and she rolled her eyes. The two’s clothing were of similar colors, but one looked heroic and majestic with first-class style, while the other looked pitiful but attractive.
This Qing Li was good at scheming, but her approach just made her inferior and ugly.
“A’Qin, although the Demon and Immortal Realms have been at peace these years, the three thousand years period is almost over. At that time, a great battle will be inevitable. Why don’t you stay in the Third Heaven? The brothers in the army all miss you very much.” Ever since that incident happened that year, Chang Qin insisted on leaving the Third Heaven. She had already resigned her position as the commander of the Demon World. Now, Sen Yu wanted to keep her, so he could only use emotions.
“Second Highness, Hei Wu has already taken over my position. He had done a very good job these few thousand years and he has done nothing wrong. Your Highness doesn’t need to say anything else, my intent on leaving is set.”
A cold voice came slowly. Somehow, there was a sense of loneliness that held all these years. Chang Qin raised her head to look at Sen Yu, who was not far away, and her eyes slightly fell on Qing Li who was on his side, with no sorrow or joy. In the end, it was her who was too persistent all these years.
“A’Qin, are you worried about Qing Li?” Seeing Chang Qin look towards Qing Li, Sen Yu immediately took two steps forward and said anxiously, “There was a reason for what happened back then. Qing Li lost her demon pellet because of me. She originally couldn’t survive, so I had to give her some of the vitality of my demon pellet. This way, she has to stay next to me in a thousand-kilometer radius.”
It was taboo for demons to take out the vitality of one’s demon pellet because of the loss of lifespan. Chang Qin’s expression froze, then looked at Sen Yu, who looked anxious and lightly pressed her lips. Qing Li lost her demon pellet to save him, so he used his demon pellet’s vitality to save her. This was indeed something that Sen Yu would do with his personality and style. No wonder Qing Li could still survive without her demon pellet. So this was the reason.

However, for Qing Li, who had lost her demon pellet, even if Sen Yu helped her, it wouldn’t be possible for her to have lived till now.
After hesitating for a while, Sen Yu’s voice lowered a little, “Qing Li became like this to save me. Even if I use my demon pellet’s vitality to save her life, she will not survive for one thousand years. Before she completely transforms into a fox, she once pleaded to me to allow her to stay in the Third Heaven in the name of my fiance. Chang Qin, my action of canceling the marriage back then was…”
Sen Yu stopped talking, his expression lonely. He didn’t have any power to give back to a life-exchanging grace. At that time, he could only choose to keep Qing Li by his side and cancel his marriage with Chang Qin, and then he would explain to Chang Qin one thousand years later when Qing Li left. For them, a thousand years was very short, but he and Chang Qin had been together for tens of thousands of years, so he knew that if he allowed Chang Qin to leave the Third Heaven like this, they probably wouldn’t have any chance to meet again, which was why he tried his best to keep her here all these years.
The scene in front of the Gate of Life and Death suddenly became extremely quiet. Hou Chi looked at Chang Qin, who had obviously turned silent after hearing this. Her small hand rubbed her chin, and the corners of her mouth were raised into a subtle arc.
In this case, Sen Yu really was an honest person. But he was just too stupid. That little fox was not simple at all…
At this time, Qing Li was standing behind Sen Yu, her lavender skirt fluttering and her head hanging down, feeling a sense of frailty. No one could see the expression on her face, but only the slightly tightened hands at her side.
“Sen Yu.” A somewhat melancholy voice suddenly sounded. Chang Qin looked at the man not far away with a sudden overjoyed expression and slowly said, “We have known each other for thousands of years. You should understand my personality.”
Sen Yu froze and looked at the extremely calm face not far away. He had never seen her this exhausted and disappointed, and a touch of anxiety suddenly rose inside, as if…he was going to completely lose something.
“My Demon Fox Clan is from ancient times. Although we respect the heavens, we don’t obey ghosts and gods. Other people have absolutely nothing to do with me, even if I were to receive someone’s life-exchanging grace, I wouldn’t make things this hard for you. These one thousand years, you watched me suffer in the Third Heaven but didn’t allow me to leave, and I…stayed here just for you to tell me the reason. It’s such a pity that if it wasn’t that Qing Li could transform into a human today, you wouldn’t have told me. Although this a promise between the two of you, you have also ruined our original trust. Sen Yu, although I have said this the year you canceled our marriage, I think this sentence is more suitable now…”

Wearing a purple robe with a bitter expression, Chang Qin was as proud as she was tens of thousands of years ago when they first met. Sen Yu held his breath, his body stiff. Chang Qin was right. He kept his promise with Qing Li, but he betrayed Chang Qin’s love. He could only blame the fact that he wanted to keep her at his side, but he really lost her because of this.
“I, Chang Qin, will have nothing to do with you from now on. The gods in the heavens are my witnesses.”
The cold and solemn voice sounded in front of the Gate of Life and Death, making Hou Chi and the others move slightly. It was said that the Demon Fox Clan had only one personality, being proud. This was true…
“Since I promised that I wouldn’t leave if I don’t defeat you, I will naturally achieve this.” Chang Qin turned around and said lightly.
The pure and transparent purple light overflowed from her body, soaring into the sky. With that power, it was not at all weaker than Feng Ran’s power, who was standing in front of Chongzi Palace.
“This is the secret spell of the Demon Fox Clan. Chang Qin is forcibly increasing her demon power.” Feng Ran said with emotion. It wasn’t strange for them ancient beasts of clans, both immortal and demon, to have some secret spells. It was just that Chang Qin, who had just recovered, needed to recuperate for at least one or two years before she could once again possess the strongest demon deity power.
The nine-tailed demon fox totem slowly rose and imprinted itself onto Chang Qin’s back. It was enchanting and mysterious, and an ancient aura permeated the Gate of Life and Death. The condensing purple light rushed towards the Third Heaven’s barrier in a slow but exceptionally tenacious manner.
With a ‘crash’, the invisible cracks spread slowly, gradually connecting.
Sen Yu looked stiffly at the purple figure rising in the sky. The barrier in the Demon Realm that had never cracked in tens of thousands of years shook in her hands. His heart was cold, and unspeakable regrets flooded the sky until it swallowed his entire attention.
The Demon Fox Clan had such power! It was at this time that he truly understood that Chang Qin wasn’t incapable of leaving these thousand years. She stayed in the Third heaven only to wait for him to make his decision, and he ruined everything.
After undergoing Qing Mu’s power, the barrier appeared to be much more fragile. It was only a quarter of an hour before the impact of the purple light gradually cleared, and there was a possibility of collapse at any time.
Chang Qin, who was in mid-air, turned her head. Her face was pale, and her enchanting purple pupils swept across Sen Yu and finally landed on Qing Li. She looked at her deeply. The purple light transformed into a sword, rushing straight towards the barrier. The overwhelmed barrier made a crisp sound and finally broke.
Accompanied by the purple light piercing the barrier, Chang Qin, who was hanging in the air, disappeared as well, leaving only her profound look at Qing Li staying in everyone’s minds.
The barrier was shattered, and the Third Heaven also oscillated. But before a second, the situation was suppressed, and the tall figure of the Demon Emperor appeared in the place the barrier was broken, his strong demon power quickly repairing the damaged barrier. In only a breath of time, the barrier was as good as before.
Hou Chi was a little surprised when she saw this scene. The barrier of the Demon World was born from the heavens and earth and was simply difficult for the ordinary demon clan to control. The Demon Emperor had been in the Demon Realm for so many years, but unexpectedly, he was able to command this huge force. No wonder he could sit safely on his Demon Emperor throne.
Maybe one day, when he turns the power of the Demon Realm’s barrier into his own will be the day he asks for the position of a high god!
“Sigh, I didn’t expect Chang Qin to be so stubborn. I have been too unfair these few thousand years.” A heavy sigh came from the Demon Emperor’s mouth. He walked up to Hou Chi and the others, bowed, and turned away.
Hou Chi was unwilling to reveal her identity, so she didn’t bother to make polite courtesies.
Hou Chi squinted her eyes, a smile at the bottom of her eyes. With such a big movement, perhaps the Demon Emperor purposely allowed Chang Qin to release her anger. It seemed that the status of the Demon Fox Clan among the demon clans was much higher than she imagined.
In the entire square, only Sen Yu was in a sluggish state. He stared blankly at the place where Chang Qin had disappeared, his eyes dark. Qing Li stood behind him quietly and somewhat strangely calmly.
“Second Highness, we won’t bother you anymore, so we’ll leave now.” Qing Mu coldly said these polite words that were hard to say and nodded to Sen Yu, who looked a little pitiful, then walked towards the Gate of Life and Death with Hou Chi in his arms
