Rebirth In Against The Gods With The Ultimate System 12 Chapter 12: Qingyue's Resolve?

Yun Che returned to his senses.

When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife Xia Qingyu was sitting in seiza or j.a.panese kneel on the bed. It appears that she was waiting for him to wake up.

Yun Che remembered about her going to leave for cultivation. Without saying a word, he stands up and put Zangetsu on his back. If she wanted to leave, she can leave anytime.

It was time for him to meet his Little Aunt. As he was walking to the veranda, he heard…

'Hus….'

Hearing that, Yun Che immediately released his reaitsu….

The reaitsu was powerful enough to scare her.

He turned around. He gaze her with his eyes of hatred.

"You don't have the right to call me that…."

Xia Qingyue was shocked. She wanted to call him 'husband' but instead of finis.h.i.+ng the word, she received suppression and that gaze once more. Her heart was sent into turmoil once more.

He hates me….

My own husband despised me….

She lowered her head, wondering why her husband looked at her that way.

Redrawing his reaitsu, he looked at her.

"Xia Qingyue, our marriage was based on the promise between your father and my father. I know you yourself didn't want this. From the way to look at me this morning and how you pierce me with cold energy. It's clear that you don't like me at all. So i am not going to be polite."

"You're a good girl, following your sects' order and fulfilling your father's promise. It's a bliss to have someone like you as a wife. But, you might be beautiful in the eyes of the world but you are cold and on the inside.

"That's what I expect from a genius disciple of the Frozen Cloud Asgard."

Xia Qingyue looked at him seriously. The matter of her being the disciple was perfectly disclosed but Yun Che knew it.

"Yes, I know of you, a disciple of the Frozen Cloud Asgard.'

How did he...

"How I knew it is none of your concern."

"The gaze you gave me before, it's like you're looking at a piece of trash. That kind of gaze was the gaze I hated the most. When I was challenged, you didn't care at all. It hurts me the most if my own wife didn't care about her husband's life."

Xia Qingyue listened to everything, she felt something. She felt sadness after her own husband called her with her full name. It made her sound distant. She felt ashamed for what she did to him during his wedding. How could she do that?

"The feelings you had right now?"

"It was admiration, you admire me because I was strong."

"It was not love….."

"If I am still a cripple right now, you probably kicked me out the room. Deny me of my own wife."

"Now, I felt neither hatred nor love towards you. I understand your path was more towards cultivation. I understand why you refused to be touched, refused to get married and refused to be loved."

"If you want to go….then go. Focus on your cultivation and honed your skills. You have your own goal don't you?"

Xia Qingyue looked at him. She then saw Yun Che started to walk towards her before disappear towards her back. She felt something on her back, it was like he was pus.h.i.+ng her.

Why would he that?

Xia Qingyue wanted to say something but instead, she felt in her profound veins. All of the blocked Profound Entrances in her body was unlocked. It made her whole and burst with power. She tried to open those Profound Entrances before with the help of the sect but Yun Che gentle palm simply opens it. She looked at him again.

Who is he actually?

Xia Qingyue wanted to pry more but Yun Che said something first….

"Consider it a wedding gift and a parting gift to you…."

Parting?

Xia Qingyue was conflicted. A part of her just simply wanted to go a return to the sect but after hearing that word. She felt….sad.

She then saw something, Yun Che pulled something from his outfit. Then, he threw it at her before it lands near her feet.

She took it and she saw what he threw…

Their marriage certificate….

The only thing that bounds them together…..

Yun Che suddenly said, "If you wanted to leave me then burn that certificate. "

He looks at her before disappears again.

Xia Qingyue looked at the veranda and felt something running on her cheeks.

Yun Che reappears at his usual meeting place with his Little Aunt. It was a small viewing platform on the top of the hill behind the Xiao Manor.

He thinks about his action just now.

Did he really hate her?

Did he really despise her?

If he did, he could just leave her and destroy the certificate on his own.

Instead….

He gave her encouragement to pursue on cultivation, cures her Profound Entrances, purify her body and leaves her the certificate.

He said those things so she had the reason to leave.

He wanted her to pursue her cultivation so she could find her long lost mother. He wanted her to grow strong so she could reunite her family. Even if he had to sacrifice his own happiness for it.

Yun Che started to wonder about his feelings towards Xia Qingyue. She was a beauty. A beauty that can turn the whole world upside down. A beauty with a cold heart was the type of beauty he hates the most. He didn't know about her heart state right now but he really wanted to smash that iced heart of hers. Fill her with love so she could be happy with him, happy with cultivation and happy in pursuing her goal.

He felt different to her rather than this morning. Was the real Yun Che's feelings started to affect him?

He gave her a choice whether to divorce him or not.

He was someone values relations.h.i.+p. The word 'husband' should be said and accompanied with the feelings of love. He hated if that word is misused. It makes the value like it was nothing. He wanted nothing more than a happy marriage. He failed to achieve in his previous world but he may be able to achieve it here. He understands a lot of things for a 17 year old.

One day, he'll make up to her but right now….

"Xiao Che? Why are you here?"

Yun Che turned around. Even if he claimed a new name this morning, there's always someone calls him that. That someone was someone he cared.

"I…" Yun Che scratched his head. "I couldn't sleep, so I came out to stargaze."

Yun Che was still in his s.h.i.+nigami mode. His little Aunt just looked at him, seeing him and remembering what he did this morning. She even wary about him. Still, he was still her Little Che.

Seeing him in his s.h.i.+nigami Mode, Xiao Lingxi started to ask him.

"Little Che, who and what are you?"

"Well, I could cultivate. I just didn't tell anyone." He said with confidence. He lied. He couldn't even cultivate. He just had the system. Besides….

He can't tell her that can he?

"You could cultivate?....Little Che could cultivate…"a tear was rolling down her cheek.

"Little Aunt, its no big deal…I… "He moved right next to her and immediately holds her shoulder to comfort her. But instead…..

Xiao Lingxi just pinch his hand….

"Owowowowowow…."Yun Che pulled his hand and made a blowing motion on the sore spot.

"Why did you do that?!?"

"Little Che you idiot!!!....Why didn't you tell me you could cultivate, why did you destroy that mountain? Don't you know it's dangerous to swing your sword that way…..and.."

"Ohhh man…I am so f.u.c.ked.." Yun Che thought in his mind.

"Why are you out here? Tonight is your wedding night, you aren't with your Xia Qingyue consummating… consummating your marriage, but instead came out here to stargaze?!" Xiao Lingxi grabbed Xiao Che's arm, an angry pout on her face. "Don't you know that it's dangerous here? From time to time, profound beasts will come out, and when it's this dark, sometimes bandits will come here. What would happen if you carelessly ran into them? I have told you many times now, if I or your grandfather aren't by your side, you absolutely can't come out here, even if it's during the day. You actually… did not listen to my words!"

As she talked, Xiao Lingxi also angrily pinched Xiao Che's arm as punishment.

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts!" Xiao Che hurriedly yelled and then apologetically said, "Little aunt, I know I'm in the wrong, next time I definitely won't dare."

"And besides….Profound beast? Bandits?...if I met them, I'll blast them away with my sword."

"You're arrogant now?!??" She immediately pinched his arm harder..

Owowowowow…. Poor Yun Che…. Still controlled even after slapping the whole city speechless.

After a few rounds of scolding and pinching,

Yun Che was sitting in seiza apologizing to his Little Aunt.

"That's more like it… There's not allowed to be a next time!"

"Yes" He nodded while sitting down.

"Then… Little Aunt, why did you come here? It's this late already." Yun Che ask trying to change the subject.

"I…" Xiao Lingxi's voice lowered, her eyes appearing a bit hollow. "I don't know why, but I couldn't sleep tonight. Then I saw that the stars were really bright tonight, so I wanted to come to the lookout to take a look."

Yun Che looked up at the sky, and then said with a smile, "In the past, Little Aunt and I would frequently sneak out here at night to enjoy the evening wind and look at the stars… And would frequently get caught and scolded by grandfather."

"Hm." Xiao Lingxi responded. It was a moment of silence until…"Little Che. Why did you kill Xiao Yulang and Xiao Yang?"

Yun Che looked at her seriously, Can he tell her that the real Xiao Che killed by them?.

"And….When you killed them, you looked scary." Little Aunt lowered her head remembering the event during the wedding.

"Little Aunt....." Yun Che tried to approach her but she backs away a little.

"If I didn't kill them, who knows what will they do in the future. Humiliate me in my wedding, insulting me and tried to kill me. I did it to avoid future trouble" Yun Che then started to explain to her about the murdering powder this morning. How he fainted and if his Little Aunt didn't find him, he'll die.

Sort off….

"Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, hmph…they deserved to die after all. Trying to kill my Little Che." After growing up with him, she trusted him. She was now sitting beside him as if trying to protect him from another a.s.sa.s.sination attempt.

That escalated quickly.

"One moment there she was scared of me and then poof…She trusted me. She really does love me. No matter what I've become, she still loves me." he silently though in his mind.

"You really are an angel" he blurt out loudly.

"What was that?" she suddenly turned

"Oh, nothing.." Yun Che trying to hide his embarra.s.sment.

"Ehem…back to the real question…What are you doing here?" Yun Che trying to change the subject, again.

"I thought I'd see how it felt to come out by myself to stargaze… Because in the future, I might not be able to stargaze with little Che."

Yun Che was quiet. The reason he came here was to fulfill his promise to meet her and break the news of his departure tonight. Seeking strength and power so he could level up. She probably thinks he was married and has responsibilities to his wife.

Yun Che immediately got up and holds her waist.

"Little Che! What are you doing!?!" Little Aunt struggle a little as Yun Che holds her tight.

"Hold on…." He activated Flash Step or Shunpoo towards that familiar place.

Xiao Lingxi was quite shock about his speed. It was faster than any other clan members. She tried to ask how he did it but Yun Che just gave her a vague answer. You can't teach Flash Step to a human right?

Anyway ….

This was a small hilltop covered by soft and tender gra.s.s. Yun Che and Xiao Lingxi leaned against each other shoulder to shoulder, bathing in the occasional evening wind, their hearts at peace.

"Little Aunt, I may be married but I will never forget the one friend I grew up with. Xia Qingyue might be pretty but she will never compare to you. Little Aunt was pretty in on the inside as well as on the outside. It's a blessing for me to have you by my side."

"Because Little Aunt and grandfather are the most important people in my life. Other people can't compare. Little aunt, I promise you, even though I'm now married, you won't ever lose me, just like I hope to never lose you."

"Hehe…" Xiao Lingxi happily smiled, her hands hugging Yun Che's arm. She rested her head on his shoulder. "As expected, my Little Che is the most well behaved, most obedient."

They chat together, remembering their mischievous act, sneaking out and mostly their own moments together. Yun Che remembers those moments well. He was slowly developing feelings to his Little Aunt.

It's time to drop the bomb.

"Little Aunt….I…" Yun Che began….

"I wish to explore the world. Now that I could cultivate, I wish to become even stronger to protect you."

"Little Aunt, would you let me go?"

Xiao Lingxi was quiet, too quiet. She knew one day he was going to leave. It's the nature of a cultivator. To explore the world, keep getting stronger and protect his loved ones. But, the price of power always came with a price.

"Little Che, are you leaving? What about your wife?"

"She plans to join a sect later on. As for me, I'll forge my own path. She's the city dazzling pearl. She won't be confining herself here." Yun Che kept a secret about Xia Qingyue. That way, her image to Little Aunt wasn't tarnished.

Xiao Lingxi was conflicted. She knew she could never keep him here. Forcing him here would halt his development. After his stunt this morning, various powers would come and recruit him. She was willing to let him go…

On one condition….

"Little Che, please…please….. Come back to me when you had a chance. When you became strong…

"Don't forget me…." She holds his arm and look him with tears in the eye.

Yun Che looked at her seriously and slowly hugs her.

"When stand in the grand apex of the world one day. I promised, I'll come back to you…and I'll marry you."

He said it. The real Yun Che would took almost 800 plus chapters to confess to her but for him….

"Ehhhhh!!!!!….Little Che, I was joking about marriage all the time. You have Qingyue, you..you…you"

She was fl.u.s.tered. Never expect that Yun Che would propose to her immediately.

Yun Che holds her hand.

"Little Aunt, I am serious. I may be married but I want to marry you as well. This isn't about cheating or unfaithful. I want to be with you and I want to protect you. I want to make you a reason to come back here. Besides, you are the one asking to be married." Yun Che looked at her teasingly.

Xiao Lingxi was red as a tomato…she was so fl.u.s.tered…

She tried to gather he wits and….

"Please take good care of me" she said in embarra.s.sment. Deep down, she was happy. Boy…. She was really happy.

Yun Che smiled, he knows that promise and proposal was on a whim. He'll develop those feelings one day.

Both of them continued to talk until Xiao Lingxi fell asleep on his shoulder. He lied her down and looked at her smiling face.

Those anime fans going to be so p.i.s.sed if they see this. He was proposing to Megumi-chan. Not the real her but she looks like her. He looked at her again. She was happy even in her sleep. He continued siting up and observed the stars.

Xia Qingyue observed them from afar. She never saw him so happy with that girl. She knew that girl was his aunt. When she looked at them, she had this twisting feeling. It makes her uncomfortable when looking at the two of them. What is this feeling?

Xia Qingyue immediately shake it off, she slowly approached them from behind. She wanted to tell Yun Che that its time. She has to return for the sect's recruitment. Her master was waiting.

"You showed up…."

Yun Che slowly gets up and turned to her. He knows her reason for coming here. He didn't want an answer. He just gave his permission.

"Go…. Spread your wings…If fate wills it, we will meet again…"

Xia Qingyue looks at her husband. She wanted to say something.

"Hus…"

Yun suddenly draw Zangetsu, unsheathe it from the bindings and points it at her face.

"Go.. I wouldn't tell you a third time…" As he said that, he saw it. A s.h.i.+ny drop on her beautiful face.

She shed a tear in front of him. A cold hearted girl like her sheds a tear. She just nods and leaves reluctantly, still holding the certificate in her hand.

Yun Che looked at her retreating back. He finally did it. He finally shatters that cold heart of hers. He slowly thinks, was I too hard on her?

He could really tell that he had left an everlasting image of him in her heart. She still holds the marriage certificate. It's clearly she was reluctant to divorce him.

I am sorry Qingyue, one day I'll make it up to you.

Right now, Xia Qingyue thinks that her husband hates her. He hates her cold personality. She did even get to call him husband. She wipes her tears and return back to her cold personality.

She saw her master. She was one of the Seven Fairies of Asgard, Chu Yueli.

"Are you ready to go?"

Ever since this morning, her master was quite curious of the powerful being appear during the wedding. Since her disciple was there, she'll be sure to ask questions later. Which leads to an uproar in the Asgard later on about Xia Qingyue's profound veins.

She nods silently. Inside of her cold heart, the image of Yun Che slowly forms. With that, she had a resolve. Aside from cultivating to find her mother, she had another goal. The goal was…..

Win back Yun Che's heart.
