The Supreme Being Against Heaven

“Haha! Get up quickly.”

Qiu Yongchong laughed as he helped Liu Rulong to his feet. Then his brows suddenly furrowed tightly. His gaze swept toward the tightly shut hall door as he spoke coldly.

“Who is outside?”

A voice replied respectfully from outside the hall.

“Reporting to the Law Enforcement Elder, this disciple is named Liu Chong. I am a guard of the Space-Time Hall. If you need anything, please summon my senior brother.”

“Come in and answer my question,” Qiu Yongchong said.

“This disciple obeys.”

After pushing the hall door open and stepping inside, Liu Chong glanced at Liu Rulong with a slightly hesitant expression.

Qiu Yongchong spoke sternly.

“Speak. What happened?”

Liu Chong cupped his fists respectfully before reporting truthfully.

“Reporting to the Law Enforcement Elder, this disciple came to inform Senior Brother that Tan Yun has returned from Snow Valley.”

“Hmph!”

Qiu Yongchong snorted coldly.

“It seems the 173 Law Enforcement disciples truly all died in Snow Valley.”

Then he immediately ordered,

“Liu Chong, bring more people and bring Tan Yun to see me.”

“This disciple obeys!”

Liu Chong bowed before turning around and leaving immediately.

…

After failing to find Mu Mengyi at Mu Mengyi’s pavilion, Tan Yun went to the residence of Xue Ziyan instead.

The moment he stepped into the hall, he heard the sound of sobbing.

“Senior Sister Mu… don’t scare Ziyan like this! What happened to you… sob… sob…”

Tan Yun’s expression changed instantly.

“Damn it!”

He hurriedly rushed upstairs in panic.

Bang!

The door was pushed open violently.

He saw Xue Ziyan standing beside the bed, tears streaming down her face.

“Who—”

Xue Ziyan suddenly turned around.

When she saw who it was, her tear-filled eyes immediately flashed with deep anger.

“You bastard! Since you’re not dead, why didn’t you come back sooner?!”

“Look at what you’ve done to Senior Sister Mu!”

Tan Yun’s heart immediately turned cold.

Without saying anything, he quickly walked to the bedside.

When he saw Mu Mengyi’s current condition—

He froze instantly.

His heart felt as if it were being tightly crushed in pain.

Mu Mengyi had become extremely thin. Her face was pale and exhausted.

She lay motionless on the bed, her beautiful eyes red as tears continued to flow endlessly.

Her entire body looked like someone who had lost her soul.

Her gaze was vacant, empty, and filled with despair.

“Senior Sister Xue… what exactly happened?”

Tan Yun turned toward Xue Ziyan, whose eyes were swollen from crying. His expression was filled with anxiety.

Xue Ziyan immediately stood up.

“What do you think happened!”

She slammed her fists hard against Tan Yun’s chest while crying uncontrollably.

“What do you think happened! What do you think happened!”

“Whoosh!”

Tan Yun suddenly reached out with both hands and grabbed her wrists.

His expression twisted instantly.

Then he shouted in a low, furious voice.

“That’s enough! Tell me—what happened to her!”

Xue Ziyan stared at Tan Yun for a moment.

Then she spoke through tears.

“Late at night 29 days ago, someone came and told Senior Sister Mu that I was about to die.”

“So Senior Sister Mu hurried to find me… and left you alone at the pavilion.”

“But when she arrived, I was sleeping. She immediately realized she had been tricked into a trap.”

Xue Ziyan sobbed before continuing.

“After that, Senior Sister Mu rushed back to find you like a madwoman.”

“And then she encountered Liu Rulong at the cultivation room.”

“Senior Sister Mu fought fiercely with him until the pavilion was completely destroyed.”

“At that time, Liu Rulong told Senior Sister Mu…”

Xue Ziyan’s voice trembled heavily.

“…he said that he had already killed you and threw your corpse to the dogs…”

“Wuu… wuu…”

“After hearing that, Senior Sister Mu seemed to lose her sanity. Her power suddenly increased tremendously.”

“In the end, she defeated Liu Rulong…”

“But after that, she fainted.”

Xue Ziyan cried so hard she could barely breathe before continuing through sobs.

“She was unconscious for 7 days and 7 nights…”

“When she woke up… she became like this.”

“She only cries… but she hasn’t spoken a single word…”

“Tan Yun, go see Senior Sister Mu. She became like this because she loved you too much. When she learned that you had died, the grief almost broke her heart…”

After listening to Xue Ziyan’s tearful account,

tears of pain silently streamed down Tan Yun’s face.

He knew that Mu Mengyi had feelings for him.

But he had never realized that she loved him this deeply.

“I understand… Can you leave me alone with her for a while?”

Tan Yun looked at Xue Ziyan with reddened eyes.

“Fine.”

Xue Ziyan walked to the door before turning back to look at Tan Yun.

Her voice suddenly became icy cold.

“Tan Yun, to me, she is like my real sister.”

“If anything happens to her… I swear I will kill you!”

After saying that, she immediately closed the door.

Inside the room, silence filled the air.

Tan Yun walked over and sat beside the bed. His hand trembled slightly as he gently stroked Mu Mengyi’s pale and thin face.

“You silly girl… wake up. It’s me… Tan Yun. I’ve come back.”

Thinking of her smiles and expressions in the past,

his tears fell onto her forehead, scattering into tiny droplets.

Mu Mengyi slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

But those eyes showed no response.

Empty… lifeless…

Tan Yun understood clearly.

Her heart had entered a state of “spiritual hibernation” because the grief had been too overwhelming.

She had sealed her own heart,

almost completely cutting herself off from the outside world.

She was still trapped in the pain caused by the news of his death.

At that moment,

Tan Yun finally realized

just how deeply Mu Mengyi loved him.

At the same time,

he could not understand

why she loved him so deeply.

There is a saying:

A sickness of the heart must be cured by the heart.

Suppressing the sorrow in his heart, Tan Yun began recounting their memories in a voice filled with emotion.

“Mengyi… do you know?”

“From the first moment I saw you in Meteor City, I was deeply attracted by everything about you…”

“When we jumped from the back of the crane to escape Murong Kun’s pursuit…”

“When you came looking for me and accidentally stepped on a sharp stone that cut your foot…”

“Perhaps from that very moment, I had already fallen in love with you.”

“Do you still remember?”

“When I grilled fish for you, you ate it without even giving the slightest smile.”

“I was only teasing you so that you would enjoy the food more, but you ended up crying.”

Tan Yun smiled bitterly.

“Actually, I knew that your background was extraordinary.”

“I also know that your mother was imprisoned and your father was killed.”

“At that time, you must have remembered something, so you started crying…”

He took a deep breath before continuing.

“Mengyi… 29 days ago, I returned from Snow Valley.”

“And I learned that you waited for me in front of the Space-Time Hall for 7 days and 7 nights.”

“From that very moment, I knew that I had truly fallen in love with you.”

“Do you remember?”

“When Murong Kun saw us holding hands, he threatened me to let go of you.”

“But instead, I held your hand even tighter.”

“I told him that as long as I was alive, he should never even think about touching you.”

“Those words were not because I wanted to provoke him.”

“But because in my heart…”

Tan Yun looked at her deeply.

“…you are my woman.”

“And no one has the right to touch you.”

While Tan Yun was speaking,

he suddenly noticed that

Mu Mengyi’s fingers moved slightly.

Then within her tear-filled eyes,

a spark of life slowly began to appear.

Tan Yun became excited like a child.

“Mengyi! You’re listening to me, aren’t you!”

“You can hear what I’m saying, right!”

Mu Mengyi pressed her lips tightly together, trying to hold back her tears.

She looked at Tan Yun with eyes full of longing.

Her voice trembled.

“Are… the things you’re saying… real…?”

“Finally… I waited for you…”

“I knew it… you wouldn’t be so cruel… as to deny me even a dream…”

“Don’t cry, Mengyi.”

Tan Yun looked at her with a heart that hurt so badly he could hardly breathe.

“This isn’t a dream… I really came back.”

But Mu Mengyi smiled through her tears.

A faint smile appeared on her pale face.

“Silly… how can the dead come back to life…”

“I won’t cry… I really won’t cry…”

“As long as you come to see me in my dream… I’m satisfied…”

“I’m truly satisfied…”

Her voice was filled with sorrow.

“I only blame myself…”

“Why didn’t I confess my love to you while you were still alive…”

“I only realized how much I loved you… after you were gone…”

“Tan Yun… I’m sorry…”

“It was all because of my carelessness… I fell into the trap they used to lure me away…”

“I was too foolish…”

“Wuu… wuu…”

“I should have stayed to protect you… if I had been there, you might not have died…”

“I hate Liu Rulong… but I hate myself even more…”

“Don’t worry…”

“I will live well… and avenge you…”

Mu Mengyi said with a tearful smile.

“Tan Yun… I’m really happy to see you in this dream…”

“Truly very happy…”

After finishing those words,

tears streamed down her face.

Mu Mengyi slowly closed her beautiful eyes.

Those eyes that had not closed even once for 29 days

finally…

fell into a deep and peaceful sleep.
