The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler - Chapter 2416

Wu Yao turned around and saw a rather familiar face. He tugged his lips, smiled, and asked, “Oh, Eleventh Deity, why are you here?”

He glanced at the Heavenly Gate.

Nobody came up at this time.

…

The Heaven Gate was opened for a year. Those who could come had long come. Why would they wait until now?

Qiu Tong looked at him coldly. “I should be the one asking you that. You’ve come here every day for the past few months. What exactly do you want?”

It wasn’t his first or second day noticing this Wu Yao. The latter didn’t cultivate or go somewhere else, as if he was bound to stand guard here.

In the beginning, Qiu Tong was still worried that he wanted to do something. But after staring at him for a while, he realized that Wu Yao really did not do anything. He just stood here and stared at the Heaven Gate. Once he looked at it, it would be a whole day or even a few days.

This Heaven Gate has been the same for the past 10,000 years. What is there to look at?

Qiu Tong was displeased about this, yet Wu Yao never did anything out of character, so he could not scold him.

However, it was different now.

Wu Yao looked innocent after being reprimanded. “I-I’m just… spacing out here. Can’t I do that?”

Qiu Tong frowned. This answer clearly lacks sincerity.

He took a step forward and coldly said, “From today onward, you can’t.”

There were only three days left until the Heaven Gate closed. A person like Wu Yao naturally could not stay here any longer.

He came here today for this.

Wu Yao: “…Can’t I just stand here and look?”

“No.”

“Then, how about I stand further?”

Qiu Tong’s expression became colder.

Wu Yao wasn’t senseless, and he immediately raised his hands. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll go now.”

He did not want to fight with this deity. It was really not worth it.

As he spoke, he finally left.

Behind him, Qiu Tong’s eyes were glued to him in a sharp and icy cold manner.

Wu Yao snorted lightly in his heart, rubbed his fists, and shrugged his shoulders as he left.

Qiu Tong’s expression became warmer when Wu Yao’s figure completely disappeared from his vision.

He came to the Heaven Gate and glanced outside.

Below the silver bridge, the path spread toward the dark and mysterious ocean.

The waters rippled—it was icy cold and humid.

There vaguely seemed to be a faint smell of blood that spread with the wind.

Qiu Tong furrowed his brows.

It had been a long time since Xi Yan and Jiu Long were sent to be punished in the Fantasy Divine Sea. However, they had yet to return.

The First Deity doesn’t seem like he is going to show mercy. There are only three days left. Does he have to continue waiting?

He shook his head.

…

Inside the room.

On the chessboard, the black chess pieces and the red-golden chess pieces were in an intense battle.

More than half of the chessboard had been filled.

Chu Liuyue lightly heaved a sigh of relief.

This was indeed not easy.

Every single ray of light and every single chess piece contained extremely shocking force.

For every piece she placed, she had to endure an extremely demanding and terrifying attack of the force.

Before the chess game was complete, her bodily force seemed to be depleted. It seemed like… she could not continue on.

Her hand holding the chess piece was even trembling slightly, but the man opposite did not say a word. His gaze became deeper, and nobody could guess what he was thinking.

Chu Liuyue thought for a long while before she finally chose a position and placed her piece down.

Pak—shoo!

The moment that red-golden chess piece landed, it was crazily shredded by the surrounding terrifying force at a crazy and fast speed!

At this moment, the chess piece broke, and Chu Liuyue’s body trembled. Bright red blood slowly seeped out of the corner of her mouth.

She held the table with one hand, and her face was paler than ever. Her entire body trembled slightly.

If it weren’t for this, she would have collapsed.

Rong Xiu slowly clenched his hands in his sleeves. On the back of his hand, the green veins could be clearly seen.

Then, he said, “Continue.”

His voice was clear and low.

Chu Liuyue slowly wiped away the bloodstains by the corner of her mouth, trying her best to circulate her bodily force and move it to her fingertips!

Her movements were extremely slow. If anyone else was present, they could definitely tell that the current Chu Liuyue had reached her limit.

Soon, she would not be able to lift her hand.

However, Rong Xiu did not move. He just quietly sat opposite her and waited patiently.

Chu Liuyue clenched her teeth and finally placed down the piece again.

Shing!

A zither sound suddenly played in her body!

Chu Liuyue’s brows moved. Following that, she felt a sensation coming from the Cosmic Ring on her hand!

That was… The rocks that she brought back from the God-Killing Tumulus moving!

She was stunned, and she widened her eyes slightly.

Piak!

On the opposite end, Rong Xiu had already placed another piece.

Upon hearing this, Chu Liuyue looked up, and her eyes shrunk slightly.

That black piece had driven her to a corner, and she had no way to escape.

Another zither sound played again!

Chu Liuyue suddenly realized something: This isn’t the first two music scores! This is… the last music score!

She suddenly looked up at Rong Xiu.

He said, “It hasn’t ended yet.”

…

God-Killing Tumulus.

The sky was dark, and clouds gathered.

Rough winds blew across the barren land, hurling the sand up.

Everything was blurry, as if it was covered in a layer of mesh, and one could not see clearly.

There was no one in sight. The place was so quiet that it seemed like a gigantic tomb.

Countless broken tombstones fell to the floor messily, and they exuded an indescribable abandonment and sorrow.

Between heaven and earth, the black wall stood quietly and speechlessly.

After a while, a voice seemed to ring in a seemingly smiling manner. “This day… is finally coming?”
I’ve really waited for so long.
