Divorce By Agreement

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

September 22nd, 2022

“Xie Zhuo!” I cried out. I supported my weak body with my hands and crawled to the edge of the cliff.

‘Don’t tell me this jerk can’t accept our divorce and traveled back in time 500 years ago just to commit suicide?!’

However, just as I arrived at the edge of the cliff, the wind began to surge. Then, I sensed Xie Zhuo’s demonic qi before I saw his figure beneath the mists. His figure looked beautiful but lonely in the darkness of the cold and windy night, like the beautiful but loneliest galaxy in the universe.

I think I must have temporarily lost my mind earlier. How could I be so stupid? He was a demon who could split time and space using Pangu’s Ax before traveling 500 years back. How could someone like that die from jumping off Mount Kunlun?

At this moment, as I stared at his figure which was growing smaller and smaller, his last words to me echoed in my head. I finally figured out Xie Zhuo’s purpose.

He came to change history.

He wanted to prevent our past selves from meeting and falling in love.

He wanted to cut off our marriage directly at the source.

Due to divorce, he came back to the past and simply decided to prevent us from getting married so there would not be a divorce in the future.

I sighed helplessly. “This person… The way he looks at problems and solves them is really strange, but they’re also very… refreshing… Experts like him are truly bold! He dares to turn his thoughts into action immediately!”

‘Wait… Something’s not right…’ I stroked my chin, feeling like something was amiss. After a moment, I exclaimed, “Wait! Pangu’s Ax! He has to return the ax!”

Xie Zhuo brought Pangu’s Ax in the present back to the past. In other words, the present Kunlun no longer had Pangu’s Ax on Mount Kunlun. Without the ax, Kunlun was without protection. The barrier around Kunlun would eventually fall without the ax’s support. At that time, the evil miasma from the outside world would permeate Kunlun, eroding the rare and quiet paradise.

If that happened, it would be difficult for countless immortals in Kunlun like Meng Meng, who grew flowers and plants, to survive.

It was fine with me that Xie Zhuo wanted to break our marriage in his own way. There were two of us in the marriage, and it was the same for the divorce. However, no matter how chaotic things were between us, I could not let our personal matters affect the lives of others. That was my bottom line.

“Xie Zhuo!” I shouted at the darkness of the night and the endless mist. Needless to say, it was futile; he naturally did not come back.

Seeing that his figure was about to disappear from my sight, I grew anxious. Despite my weak body, I hastily cast the Wind Controlling Immortal Technique to chase after him.

I imitated him and jumped off the cliff, but unlike him, I fell past the cloud of mists clumsily like a rock.

‘Damn it! We both traveled back in time, but why did he adapt as soon as he arrived, but I can’t even control my limbs?!’

I looked down at the snowy mountains in Kunlun and various jagged rocks that protruded from the ground. Even if I was an immortal, if I really fell to the ground, I would break quite a few bones.

I quickly calmed down, bit my finger, and tried to use the power of my blood to boost the Immortal Technique. However, the speed of the fall was too fast, and I did not have time.

The snowy ground was close at hand. When I was just about to hit the ground, the wind surged, and a stream of energy wrapped around me like a ribbon. After spinning in the air twice, I was firmly placed on the snowy ground.

I inhaled deeply twice before I looked up.

Xie Zhuo hovered in the air. The moonlight that shone through the mist cast a gloomy light on his face as he looked at me.

Although he looked displeased, as though he was very unwilling to save me, he still saved me. There were some people in this world whom you could not judge by their words, but by their actions.

‘Hehe! Didn’t you say you wanted to kill me earlier? Your words and your actions really don’t match up! No matter what, we were married for 500 years! Just because you say you want to kill me, it doesn’t mean that you can do it. How can it be so easy to wash away your emotions?’

By saving me, I felt like I was back on familiar ground. There was hope. It seemed like he had not lost his mind completely.

“Xie Zhuo, let’s talk.”

I felt really weak now, and I could not move. I sat cross-legged on the ground before I said again, “Come down.”

Xie Zhuo descended from the sky and stood in front of me. His expression was even more indifferent than before as he said, “If you want to die, make sure you don’t bleed.”

His words did not make sense at all. If I was going to die, could I still control whether I bled or not?

I guessed this jerk must be trying to save face. After all, he had said so decisively that he was going to cut off our marriage and left in such an unrestrained manner. However, in the end, he had to turn back and save me. Anyone in his shoes would have felt embarrassed as well.

I decided to ignore his words and changed the topic. “I know the divorce is a little sudden for you, and it’s unpleasant. I’m also very sorry that our marriage didn’t have a good ending. However, you can’t just take Pangu’s Ax because of our matter, disregarding the safety of Kunlun and the immortals there. Let’s bring the ax back to the present. It doesn’t matter that the ax is broken. I’m sure the Queen Mother of the West will be able to repair…”

Xie Zhuo did not let me finish. He said, “What right do you have to beg me now?”

I believed that in this world, only a husband was capable of saying exactly the right words to skillfully anger his wife to death. I took a deep breath and persuaded myself inwardly, ‘You mustn’t fight with him. Remember that you’re no match for him. It’s best to talk things out peacefully…’

Nonetheless, despite telling myself to talk peacefully, I could not help but say indignantly as soon as I opened my mouth, “I wasn’t begging you!”

I raised my hand and massaged my temples and forced myself to stay calm as I continued to say, “I’m trying to reason with you. Our relationship failed. The divorce is our business…”

Xie Zhuo, looking like he could not be bothered to pay attention to me, turned around and left.

“Xie Zhuo!”

Who could wake up a person who was pretending to sleep? Who could make someone, who was determined to pretend to be deaf, listen? Since he was determined to ignore me, he naturally would not turn back just because I called out to him.

Flames of fury surged in my heart. Alas, with his strength, my options were limited. I could only call out loudly, “Are you determined to destroy our marriage at its source before you’re willing to return?”

Previously, before coming here, I remembered Xie Zhuo saying he would kill me when he returned. Put the matter of killing me aside, his words implied that he would leave this place after he finished what he came here to do.

Therefore, I said, “I’ll help you!”

As soon as the three words were said, Xie Zhuo’s feet came to a halt. He turned slightly and looked at me from the corners of his eyes.

I held onto the rock next to me for support as I rose to my feet.

At this very moment, the mist parted, allowing the moon to shine down on us. The light reflected in his eyes made him look even colder.

In order to stay with him and achieve my goal, I said loudly, “Since our ending is bad anyway, I’ll help you break the source of our marriage!”

The wind blew past him and me, stirring up the snow. It stung my cheeks like needles. I endured the pain and continued to say, “When we’re done here, we’ll go back to the present immediately and return Pangu’s Ax.”

Xie Zhuo stared at me silently. He did not move at all.

Just when I thought he had been frozen by the cold, I heard him say unhappily in a slightly hoarse voice, “Very well, Fu Jiuxia.”
