Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2882

Chapter 1395: Capture

“Escaping your marriage?” Zu’an asked, puzzled. “Emperor Di Jun is the Heavenly Emperor, why would you elope?”

“Heh, just because he’s the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t mean I have to like him,” Xi He retorted irritably. “He’s just a lecherous old man. That guy is clearly the Heavenly Emperor, but he doesn’t have the slightest bit of the solemnity and majesty of an emperor. He only knows how to seduce women everywhere. Countless women under heaven are his harem, and he’s fathered countless children.”

“The Zhongrong Kingdom, the Siyou Kingdom, the Baimin Kingdom, the Heichi Kingdom in the lower realms… they’re all his offspring. Why would I like such a scoundrel who sows seeds everywhere?”

Zu’an: “…”

He had thought he was already a bit promiscuous, but after conquering countless kingdoms with Di Jun, he was practically as innocent as a virgin.

Speaking of which, Di Jun was practically a chosen one destined for procreation.

“If that’s the case, then why did you get engaged to him?”

“Do you think I wanted to? He’s the Heavenly Emperor. If he takes a fancy to a woman, even if she doesn’t want to, her clan will pack her up and send her over.” Xi He’s tone was extremely frustrated.

Zu’an frowned: “Your clansmen are really no good. They sacrificed your happiness for their own selfish reasons.”

“They’re actually alright,” Xihe said magnanimously. “They used to help me fend off a lot of pressure from Dijun, but this time, Dijun offered me the position of his principal wife, and they wavered. I should say, there are few people in the world who can resist such temptation.”

Zu’an understood. Although Dijun was a womanizer and fathered children everywhere, most of them were just lovers he played around with, and he never formally married them.

Now that he’s offered the position of his principal wife, she’s practically an empress, and the benefits are self-evident.

“I’m afraid every woman in the world is insanely jealous, yet you insist on running away from the wedding?” Zu’an was somewhat impressed.

“I didn’t marry just to become the Queen of Heaven. My man must be a towering, invincible hero, someone I truly admire and respect from the bottom of my heart…” Xi He’s eyes sparkled as she spoke, then she suddenly remembered something and glanced back at Zu An, her spirits immediately deflated. “But I never expected to end up with someone like you. Did I lose my mind in the future?”

This guy was indeed handsome, but he was still far from the radiant image I had imagined.

Zu An: “…”

“Love is something that has no reason. It arises without knowing why, and deepens with each passing moment…” Zu An thought back to when he first transmigrated and saw the annotations Chu Chuyan made in those romance novels. He had felt ashamed for her back then, but now he felt the same way.

“Pah, she’s clearly a womanizer herself, yet she’s pretending to be a love saint.” Xi He rubbed her forehead. The reason she didn’t like Di Jun was because he was too promiscuous, and now the man she liked in the future was the same kind of guy. What was the point of all that trouble? Di Jun was, after all, the Heavenly Emperor.

Zu An wasn’t in the mood to argue with her: “Since it’s inconvenient for you to take me to find Di Jun, then I’ll go find Emperor Yan first.”

Gong Suyin might not have arrived in this era yet;

he needed to find Yao Ji first. Seeing him about to leave, Xi He became anxious: “You’re just leaving like that?”

Zu An was taken aback: “You want to come with me too?”

“Pah!” Xi He gritted her teeth. This man actually wanted her to accompany him to find his lover; where did he get the nerve?

“In that case, farewell.” Zu An was eager to find Yao Ji to confirm some things, and then use the Creation Box to travel to the correct time; naturally, he didn’t have time to waste here.

Watching his figure disappear into the distance, Xi He was first stunned, then suddenly felt a little sad.

Was this man really the lover she would fall in love with in the future?

He had told her so many secrets that only she knew, and she already believed about 70-80% of them.

Although she had been somewhat impolite, she was still full of curiosity about this man and wanted to understand him more deeply.

Who knew he didn’t seem to care about her at all, and simply left her.

She could clearly see that his feelings for that so-called Goddess of Wushan far surpassed hers. The thought of falling in love with a man who cared so little for her filled her with sorrow.

She had even run away from her arranged marriage to the Heavenly Emperor in pursuit of love, only to end up like this. What was the point of all that? She might as well have married Di Jun sooner…

Unconsciously, her eyes welled up with tears, and a single tear fell, like a meteorite striking the ground, igniting a massive wildfire—but she felt nothing of it.

A while later, someone suddenly shouted, “Xihe is indeed here!”

As they spoke, a group of heavenly soldiers and generals arrived on clouds, clearly having witnessed the power of that tear from afar and sensed the Sun Goddess’s presence, they had pursued her.

Xihe wiped her eyes discreetly, gazing at the celestial soldiers and generals, and coldly said, “You’ve arrived faster than I expected.”

How could she so easily escape the Heavenly Emperor’s marriage? It seemed her actions had indeed angered Dijun.

At this moment, a nine-headed celestial general in front of her coldly asked, “Xihe, where did you take the Heavenly Emperor?”

Xihe glanced at him and recognized him as one of Dijun’s ten demon generals—the nine-headed bird Guiche. Xihe

was taken aback: “I simply ran away from my marriage; what does the Heavenly Emperor have to do with me?”

“Heh, the Heavenly Emperor disappeared as soon as you left. What a coincidence!” Guiche said coldly.

Xihe’s face darkened: “Dijun, the mighty Heavenly Emperor, where he goes is none of anyone else’s business. Don’t try to smear me.”

“Still trying to be stubborn? Then capture her first, let the gods judge her, and seize this demoness!” Guiche waved his hand, and the celestial soldiers and generals surrounded her.

Xi He sneered, “Perfect timing, I’m in a bad mood right now!”

As she spoke, sunlight blazed around her, and billowing flames swept in all directions, causing the celestial soldiers and generals to flee in disarray, screaming in agony.

Seeing this, Gui Che dared not be careless and immediately revealed his true form. Soon, a gigantic nine-headed bird stretched across the sky, its heads screeching at Xi He, sending out invisible sound waves.

Xi He felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, as if her soul was about to leave her body.

In that instant, several binding ropes wrapped around her, rendering her immobile.

Gui Che’s ability was soul attack, specializing in devouring human souls; often, with a single gulp, the soul of a living being would be sucked away.

Although Xi He was powerful, she was precisely countered by his ability, resulting in a great loss.

However, Guiche, wary of her identity, dared not truly harm her, but merely captured her: “Take her back to face divine punishment, and she will naturally tell the truth then!”

Xihe had initially been terrified of being caught and brought back after running away from her arranged marriage, but now she found herself not as afraid as she had imagined; instead, she felt a sense of utter despair.

Since that guy had decisively left her anyway, she was destined to never find love in this life, so she resigned herself to being the Heavenly Empress.

She wondered if that person would feel even the slightest regret when they found out later.

Probably not…

Just then, she suddenly heard a familiar sigh: “Oh, how could you be so careless?”
