Divorce By Agreement

Chapter 2 Experts Are Really Bold! They Dare to Turn Their Thoughts Into Actions Immediately! (1)

September 22nd, 2022

I opened my eyes suddenly and gasped. The cold air rushed into my lungs, sobering me up in just an instant.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the bright moon and stars. Not a cloud could be seen in the sky. I could even see two or three meteors streaking across the sky.

This peaceful and quiet scenery was like a dream.

I comforted myself inwardly, ‘That’s right. It has to be a dream! How could I have touched Pangu’s Ax? How could Xie Zhuo say he wanted to kill me? No matter what, we were husband and wife for 500 years… How could he want to kill me? It was just a dream…’

I was still comforting myself when I turned my head and saw the black-clad man sitting next to me.

Xie Zhuo, my ex-husband, whose aura was incomparably cold, looked at me murderously. His hand was holding an almost broken ax. He looked just like those horrible murderers in Kunlun’s foreign legends at this moment.

I inhaled sharply and sat up immediately. My butt was still on the ground as I hastily scooted about ten feet away, looking at him vigilantly.

Xie Zhuo looked at me silently for a long time before he lowered his head and said lightly, “I thought you were going to die just like that…”

‘What do you mean?! Were you worried that I was unconscious for so long or did you think it’s a pity that I didn’t die?!’

I dared not give voice to the questions in my mind. After we divorced, I felt like I really did not understand Xie Zhuo at all.

In the past, although Xie Zhuo was cold, taciturn, and controlling, I could at least read his emotions. Whether he was happy, sad, dissatisfied, angry, or embarrassed, I could easily sense it. However, now, it seemed like he had pushed all of his emotions into a room, bolted the door, and installed 1,000 locks on it. I could not see through his thoughts at all. It was just like… when I met him in the beginning.

Xie Zhuo no longer spoke to me. He rose to his feet and straightened his robes.

I rose to my feet tentatively as well. However, as soon as I stood up, I felt lightheaded. Not only that, but my arms and legs were sore and weak. I swayed slightly before I fell to the ground again.

Xie Zhuo glanced at me before he ignored me again.

In the past, whether I fell or sat on the ground on my own accord, as long as Xie Zhuo saw it, he would definitely come to me and extend his hand to me silently. When I put my hand in his, he would pull me up and say, “The ground is cold.”

I guessed things had changed now that we were divorced.

I pursed my lips and did not bother to get up. I surveyed the familiar but strange surroundings before I asked, “Where did you bring me?”

“The highest point in Kunlun,” Xie Zhuo replied.

I was puzzled. Were we not already at the highest point of Kunlun? Where was that black hole? What about his barrier? What about the immortals outside who were desperately searching for him because he took Pangu’s Ax?

I looked at him in confusion.

He returned my gaze. After a long time, he finally said, “500 years ago.”

‘500 years ago?! What 500 years ago?!’

When realization dawned on me, my eyes widened, and I exclaimed in shock, “We’re in Kunlun 500 years ago?!”

I looked at him with a stiff expression. My eyes slowly drifted down from his face before they finally rested on the almost broken ax in his hand. I saw the pattern on the ax.

It was a familiar pattern that most immortals were taught to memorize since childhood. It was the pattern unique to the immortal artifact, Pangu’s Ax.

“You… You… split the sky with Pangu’s ax…” I stuttered.

The corners of Xie Zhuo’s lips finally lifted into a derisive smile before he said, “That’s right. To travel back in time.”

I panicked.

I think I was really married to a stranger for the past 500 years. I know nothing about my ex-husband or his strength at all.

‘Xie Zhuo… What kind… of demon is he exactly?’

“You… Why can you wield Pangu’s Ax? You’re a demon so how can you use an immortal artifact to split time and space? Why did you bring me here?”

The longer I spoke, the lower my voice became.

Just this matter alone seemed to have a thousand layers of mystery surrounding it.

How could Xie Zhuo wield Pangu’s Ax as though it was a toy?

At this time, Xie Zhuo raised Pangu’s Ax indifferently. In the next moment, the ax turned into a streak of light and shot into his sleeve.

‘Look at how easy it is for him!’

Out of so many questions I asked, Xie Zhuo, unsurprisingly, picked the easiest one to answer. He said, “I didn’t intend to bring you here.”

“What exactly do you intend to do?”

Xie Zhuo turned around and walked to the edge of Mount Kunlun. A cloud of mist stretched for thousands of miles under his feet near the cliff. He spoke very calmly but his tone was the most determined I had ever heard as he said, “Fu Jiuxia, you cut off our marriage with a pair of scissors…” He turned back to look at me before he continued to say, “And I plan to cut off our marriage in my own way…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped off the cliff.
