Transcending the Nine Heavens

y be celebrating joyfully, but after you open your eyes again, bones may have already filled a mountain.
And you should know yourself the number of people you’ve offended back when you ravaged the Nine Heavens Imperial Court seventy thousand years ago.”

“Add that to the enmity of all demons in the world, how much chance do you think you have of surviving?” asked the Demon Empress.

“Not even 10%,” answered Zi Xieqing frankly.

“Well then, give up the idea.” The Demon Empress was relieved.

“Though I don’t even have 10% of confidence in surviving, I… won’t regret it even if I die!” Zi Xieqing straightened her beautiful back.

“You…” The Demon Empress suddenly turned back and looked at her fiercely.
“You are presumptuous!”

Zi Xieqing didn’t speak.
Her lips pressed together, but her look was resolute.

Beside the Demon Empress, an extremely beautiful woman all in white who had sat in silence the whole time asked softly, “Zi Xieqing, I want to know what’s the reason that you are doing this?”

Zi Xieqing’s face flushed, and she bowed down her head.

The voice of the woman in white was calm.
She asked, “It’s for a man?”

Zi Xieqing bit her lips and nodded slowly.

“But even if you keep your demon body, you can still marry him.
Though it won’t be allowed by either race, so long as you do it secretly… there’s still a way.” The woman in white’s pretty brows wrinkled slightly.
“Why must you seek your own end like this?”

Zi Xieqing’s teeth sank deeply into her red lips.
After a long time, she said with some difficulty, “Seventy-five thousand years ago, Bai Susu…”

Both the Demon Empress and that woman in white trembled, and they remained silent.

Bai Susu was a legend in the demon clan, a rebellious legend.

Bai Susu was the first genius of the white fox race back then.
After she transformed into human shape, she roamed the martial world but coincidentally met a descendant of the Ling Feng Pavillion.
The two traversed the martial world together and found a soulmate in each other.

Bai Susu knew that humans and demons were enemies, so she concealed her identity and married that man as a demon.

But a tragedy happened eventually.
Several years later, the two had a child, and the child actually had a human body and a fox tail! Upon birth, demonic aura was all over his body.

That disciple of the Ling Feng Pavillion was so shocked, as if he was hit by thunder.
Bai Susu was forced to reveal her identity.
That man was quite moral, he left his masters with his wife and child and ran away.

But such a matter could not be tolerated by either humans or demons.
They joined forces to chase them, and eventually killed the whole family at the foot of Mount Canglan!

It was said that before she died, the elder of the fox clan questioned Bai Susu if she regretted it.
Bai Susu said, “My only regret is that back then I didn’t dare to go through the Soul Separation Platform, Demon Forging Cave… Such that my innocent husband and child died because of me… I don’t regret marrying him!”

“I don’t dare, and I am not able to regret that! I’m most reluctant to regret it!”

After saying this, Bai Susu died.

The professionals who hunted her down buried her, touched by her feelings.
They also named that valley “Valley of No Regrets” afterward.

It was also since then, that the intermarriage between humans and demons had been prohibited on the surface but turned a blind eye to in secret by everyone even if they discovered it.

There was no more killing.

Because they all knew that unless the love was extremely deep, nobody would violate such a taboo.

This was also a kind of love that was beyond worldly restraint whose opportunity was opened by Bai Susu with her life.
Though she didn’t enjoy it herself, every time such bold demons and humans loved each other so deeply that they had to marry, they would go to the Valley of No Regrets to worship Bai Susu.

Though the Valley of No Regrets was deserted, there was actually incense and offerings all year long.

Now that Zi Xieqing mentioned Bai Susu, both women in front of her immediately understood what it was that Zi Xieqing was worried about.

Zi Xieqing didn’t want the man who she loved deeply to be shamed, to be the subject of laughter by the world.
Yet she couldn’t get herself to leave and forget about him.
Therefore, she made the brave choice to endure countless sufferings to become a human!

The beautiful woman in white sighed with melancholy, thinking.
After a long time, she said, “Sister, you… should help her.”

“You don’t regret it?” The Demon Empress sighed.
The look she gave Zi Xieqing was somewhat complicated.

“No!” Zi Xieqing nodded resolutely.

“He’s worth it?” asked the woman in white.

“So long as I think he’s worth it, even if it’s not worth it, it’s worth it for me,” answered Zi Xieqing quietly.

“Well, then!” Cold light shone in the Demon Empress’ eyes.
“One day, I will see how worthy this man really is!”

She turned around like a whirlwind and said word by word, “It’s just as well! Since you are stubborn and nothing can change your mind, you will bear all consequences alone! So long as you save my son, I will grant you this wish!”

“Thank you so much, Demon Empress!” said Zi Xieqing gratefully.

“There’s no need to thank me!” said the Demon Empress indifferently.
“This is a deal.
I only want my son alive, and you only want… to be human! Hahaha… To be human! You will save my son and I will help you become a human! The deal is clear and we will owe each other nothing!”

“Yes.” Zi Xieqing’s expression relaxed.
She stayed silent.
It was as though the words “owe each other nothing” was exactly what was in her mind.
