CHAPTER 11

"Your Majesty, you can't do this. This world is quite dangerous---"

But Emperor Yijun can't be stopped, he exerted a powerful aura towards the tree who holds a great world created by the Dark Lord

Meanwhile...

Qiang Ping stared calmly at the distant sky, someone was trying to enter forcefully.

He grinned mischievously, his expression was of to be feared. Without the mask he always wore, everyone will be killed seeing his oppresive and devilish smile. Even his whole body parts is not functioning, but with his unleveled cultivation he can kill a cultivator in a blink.

His eyes turned red and he finally exerted his sealed qi inside his body. The limp and gullible Qiang Ping before was very far different from now, the Dark Lord has awoken again.

After the war, after Chao Lei herself injured him badly, he was caught aware that his qi was sealed. Only staying here on his own Miniature World can heal himself. But he had complication on controlling everything here caused by the sealed qi.

He likes the little herb Harir but unfortunately, it doesn't like unrighteous people.

And he was unrighteous because he was the Dark Lord.

Despite of it, he forced himself to get the herb he planted on the cliff because Chao Lei wants it.

It was a risk with his current condition but he knew he can't die on his own world.

And now, he was on urge to kill.

Not just because this visitor will disturb the tranquility here in his world but this person, was planning to take his wife away from him.

He frowned deeply. He dare!

A very extreme murderous aura exerted on him, the ground trembled and the birds scattered out feeling the murderous qi coming from the courtyard when suddenly, he was stopped by a person who went to seat in front of him.

She caressed his frowning brows and gently closed his eyes.

"My husband is being ugly now." Chao Lei spoke as he gently brush off Qiang Ping's closed eyes.

Qiang Ping's murderous aura immediately seized down and smiled "Am I?"

Chao Lei smiled widely and cupped his cheeks "Yes you are."

She then said,

"Let me handle this Qiang Ping." Chao Lei's 'General' tone was on.

She knew this day will come, Yijun was a powerful man and they are both childhood friends who shared a close relationship about everything. They cared for each other.

Chao Lei stayed with the word care but Yijun felt more than that.

Qiang Ping took her hands and hold them tight, slowly he opened his eyes. It was still red, flaming with a very oppressive aura.

Chao Lei felt small only just staring at his eyes.

"I won't let that." he declared.

"He can't take me you know that. But now, I only wanted to deliver my last words to the world I had promises." Chao Lei spoke sincerely.

....

Emperor Yijun used all his qi to enter this Miniature World and now, he landed on a greeny place which was a bit peculiar to him.

Looking around he was stunned to see a man sitting on a wheelchair with an old man behind him. They were like waiting for his arrival beforehand.

The guy sitting on the wheelchair was kinda approachable so he greeted him and asked, "This person was lost, may I ask for somethings on Mister?"

But Qiang Ping only stared at him.

"I came from the distant land. I was lost so I am wishing for Mister's guidance." Yijun repeated.

Finally Qiang Ping said "The First General is dead." he then threw a very familiar sword.

It was Chao Lei's heaven defying sword which was the reason he lost his legs.

Seeing it, Yijun was dumbstruck on his place. Froze and couldn't utter any more words. The heaven defying sword was the only one in the continent and only the First Divine General own it.

Qiang Ping continued,"She's dead." he said it emotionlessly.

These were Chao Lei's words. Or more like, this is what Qiang Ping want to convey.

She wanted her former world to tell them that they should now be at ease for the world finally gained the golden age were the war against the Dark Lord has ended.

And the general finally settled in peace. After of centuries protecting them, she finally halted and settled a life she wanted. A new life where violence will never occur. A life that she can be with someone she love.

And for Qang Pings view, the world should clearly forget Chao Lei for she is already his property no longer their protector.

"You're lying... You're lying!!" Yijun exclaimed.

Qiang Ping smiled "Yes of course I'm lying."

Yijun frowned.

"Chao Lei is alive and kicking."

"Are you playing with me?!---"

"He's not playing with you Your Majesty."

Hearing this voice, Yijun froze. Coming behind was Chao Lei herself.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant greets you."

"General Chao!" he cried in happiness and quickly walked towards Chao Lei but

Qiang Ping scorned. And flinched his finger, Yijun was forcefully kneeled on the ground by an invisible force.

He groaned because he felt a very oppressive aura was just above him, mushing him down!

Chao Lei shook her head to Qiang Ping.

If only Qiang Ping delivered her words rightly to Yijun, she shouldn't have shown up.

Qiang Ping shrugged.

"Your Majesty. I came here to tell you that, the Kingdom has finally gained peace from an endless war against the black spirits. The core will no longer exist."

"Of course we know it. The war had ended and the Dark Lord is killed by you! Everyone was singing praises for the First General! The only divine general who managed to protect the continent for centuries! We should hurry and go back together to the Kingdom Chao Lei..." he said in persuasion

Qiang Ping was laughing inside. Emperors are truly stupid

Chao Lei didn't moved a muscle on her face but kept her calm demeanor. But suddenly, she bowed at him ninety degrees and said, "Your Majesty should no longer bother about it. I, First Divine General Chao Lei hereby resigns for my position and will no longer go back."

Yijin who was on the ground stared at her in disbelief "J-Just what are you talking about General Chao?!"

"Your Majesty, please tell the world I'm dead." she continued

Yijun stared at her in great disbelief.

"I will be resigning with my duties in the kingdom and will live fully with my new life and role." she said warmly.

Yijun was utterly shocked. This woman he's facing, was very far different from the indifferent and fierce Chao Lei! She said those words in a sincere and warm expression.

He can't believe it and yelled,

"Chao Lei! You must be exhausted in this world and may be it had altered your mind. I'm going to get you out of here---"

The oppressing aura forcefully made him kiss on the ground.

Yijun eyes widened and struggled to look at the wheelchaired men, the aura was coming from him but how can he be powerful with his condition?!

"Listen. Emperor. No one will take my wife, not on my watch." Qiang Ping calmly said.

Another surprise hit him and abruptly looked at Chao Lei.

Chao Lei responded,

"Your Majesty. This General is already married."

Yijun trembled.

It can't be!

Without waiting for his response Qiang Ping continued "Emperor. As for becoming the husband of the 'former' first general. I offer my gift. Yuilin."

The old man behind him stepped out.

"Yuilin is one of my trusted spirit. He will help you perceive and control things at hand in the Kingdom. And he will greatly help you announce to the world of what the First General wanted."

"Yuilin will stay by your side until the end. And by stepping out from here today, you can never come back then again." Qiang Ping coldly declared.

Yijun froze at the spot.

"Your Majesty. I will hope for your great health and live a life for more centuries... This will be our last meeting, my friend."

After those words utter, the world surrounding him trembled and started changing shape, Chao Lei and the wheel chaired man disappeared slowly.

Yijun tried to reach her once more but she dissipated with the world. Is this how it ended?! No! He haven't even confessed, he haven't even saw the same smile she threw on that man... That warm smile that he had seen as to be rarest treasure in the whole world!

He felt his heart sunk.

It was centuries of unrequited love.

The Emperor came back safe and sound with Yuilin tailing him. The willow tree that took hold of the Miniture World disappeared from its place.

Clearly, it does not wanted to be disturbed and be found.

There's an epilogue but it's on
