Chapter 2760

"So…" Emperor Yun was genuinely confused by Zhu Yanyi’s meaning, so she asked directly.

"So." Zhu Yanyi smiled in a particularly strange way. "Why should I listen to the rules of a secret realm spirit?"

(⊙o⊙)… Emperor Yun was stunned again.

She had experienced the Earth Demon Abyss many times, but no god had ever ignored its rules. Yet now, Zhu Yanyi clearly told her: "She has no intention of following the Earth Demon Secret Realm’s regulations. That would be meaningless."

She lowered her head, thinking about everything they had experienced in the past. Had they all been wrong? She frowned slightly, unable to figure it out.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at Emperor Yun. "You value the Earth Demon Abyss too much, so you subconsciously follow its rules. But I think, every time the Earth Demon Abyss sets rules, it is likely for a game. And the reason for this game is that it is lonely."

Hearing this, Emperor Yun twitched the corner of his mouth. "Empress Yan, your words make me feel a bit strange."

"Not strange at all." Zhu Yanyi gave Emperor Yun a definite answer. "As a secret realm spirit, the Earth Demon Abyss cannot leave this secret realm. So it needs to find some fun. Your appearance gave it some joy. Although you improve within the Hell Abyss, this improvement is likely just compensation, like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai—both willing."

Zhu Yanyi paused, then continued. "Actually, whether it is the Earth Demon Abyss or our so-called War of Gods, they are all products born from loneliness. Because of loneliness, we need discovery. Coming to the Earth Demon Abyss became a habit. And because of our arrival, the Earth Demon Abyss is happy and no longer lonely. That is why there are rules for every Earth Demon Abyss."

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, Emperor Yun subconsciously felt she was right. "What you say makes sense. But are these your guesses, or do you have evidence?"

"Whether there is evidence or not is unimportant. Whether it is a guess or not is also unimportant. What matters is, now we can use flying machines to move forward. Only a fool would walk foolishly for ten years." Zhu Yanyi shrugged.

Emperor Yun felt like a fool. If she hadn’t met Zhu Yanyi, she would have walked step by step. In fact, if not for Zhu Yanyi’s divine inspiration, she would have preferred to walk slowly with her.

Ten years is not very long, but for Emperor Yun, if she could have ten years of shared memories with Zhu Yanyi, she would be very happy.

Emperor Yun took a deep breath, then looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Empress Yan, what are you looking at?"

That’s right. At this moment, Zhu Yanyi was looking at the ring on her ring finger. "I miss my husband. I wonder how she is doing."

Emperor Yun paused. "Can you tell me the story of you and Emperor Yan?"

"The story of me and my husband?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Emperor Yun in surprise. "Why are you curious about this?"

Emperor Yun was startled, then smiled to hide his true purpose. "Curiosity. Because all of you in the Supreme Universe have divine partners. I thought that after this War of Gods, I would go down to find one too. So I want to learn some experience first, which is why I want to ask you."

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi laughed loudly. "If you want to find a divine partner, you cannot learn from me."

"Why?" Emperor Yun asked in surprise.

"Because everyone’s feelings are different." Zhu Yanyi said seriously. "Although these feelings are all called love, the love between people is different. Just like the eight of us in the Supreme Universe, the four pairs of divine partners, each pair is different."

Since they were flying now, Zhu Yanyi didn’t mind gossiping with Emperor Yun. "Our Black Emperor and Empress’s love is said to have been born from filming together. It is a love that grows over time. The Immortal Emperor and Empress are in the same industry, but they were surprised at first sight and decided on the second meeting. It was very fast. As for the Fire Emperor and Empress, their love was eaten into existence."

Zhu Yanyi laughed again when she said this. "As for me and my husband, we are childhood sweethearts. Of course, my husband is older than me. Among the mortals in our place, people generally say I was raised by my husband."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Emperor Yun and said, "So you don’t need to deliberately learn love from me. Love cannot be learned. When it happens, no one can predict it."

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, Emperor Yun pondered slightly. "So you and Emperor Yan are childhood sweethearts."

"Yes." Zhu Yanyi naturally wouldn’t mention past lives and present lives. Even though she had some friendship with Emperor Yun, she would not reveal such personal secrets.

Emperor Yun began to ponder. She naturally knew that feelings are uncontrollable. But after hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words and seeing her expression when mentioning Yan Aohan, a bitterness arose in her heart. She even had a thought: if only she could stay with Zhu Yanyi forever. Or, if she had known about Zhu Yanyi earlier, she could have gone to the Supreme Universe plane to find her sooner.

This thought startled her slightly. Her mind cleared up, and she despised herself for such thoughts. After a while, she said to Zhu Yanyi, "Anyway, we are just flying like this, and there is nothing to do. We can’t just drink tea and eat snacks all the time. Why don’t you tell me about you and your husband? I will just take it as a reference."

"If love could be referenced, it wouldn’t be love." A hint of sweetness appeared at the corner of Zhu Yanyi’s mouth. "Many things between my husband and me cannot be told to you, because they are beautiful memories belonging to her and me. I can only say, if my husband did not exist in this world, I would not exist either. I exist for her, and she exists for me. If I did not exist in this world, she would not exist either. She exists for me."

Hearing this, the bitterness in Emperor Yun’s heart became stronger. But she didn’t know if she was a masochist, as she forcibly suppressed this bitterness and listened to her continue.

Zhu Yanyi looked at the tea in her hand. "My husband is the best person in the world for me. She is the ruler of the Yanluo Realm, yet she can wash her hands and cook soup for me. This is not something an ordinary man can do."

Emperor Yun nodded slightly. "Indeed, at least I cannot do it."

"You cannot do it because you haven’t met someone who makes you want to wash your hands and cook soup." Zhu Yanyi refuted. "In our Supreme Universe, only male gods with divine partners can cook soup. Because they know that a bowl of soup from them can make their wives happy for a long time."
