Chapter 1451 Su Youwei

Zhou Yuan’s wedding was set for ten days later.

It was no surprise that the news created an enormous commotion in Cangxuan Heaven, drawing the curiosity of countless people. After all, Zhou Yuan was currently the greatest authority in Cangxuan Heaven, and many busybodies were dying to know which lady could enter his eyes.

Hence, countless people excitedly discussed this topic over the subsequent days leading up to the wedding.

However, heaven master Zhou Yuan’s princess consort was extremely mysterious, making it near impossible for an ordinary person to even catch a glimpse of her. This only served to make everyone even more curious as they wildly guessed and debated over who she was. For a time, the interest in Zhou Yuan’s wedding eclipsed even the Blessings Tower.

It basically became the focus of the entire heaven.

Of course, this was not limited to Cangxuan Heaven. The all-heaven and even the Omega Shrine immediately turned their attention to Cangxuan Heaven after receiving the news.

The current Zhou Yuan was no longer just a new rising star to the all-heaven. Not only had he stepped into the Saint stage, he was also the master of Cangxuan Heaven. Such status definitely made him a heavyweight in the all-heaven. As such, his every action would always draw the all-heaven attention.

What’s more, the more informed individuals were well aware of who exactly this princess consort was...

This wedding was inevitably going to be the focus of the entire world.

...

The Omega Shrine.

Wu Yao climbed numerous stone steps and ultimately arrived at a high platform. This was the highest spot in the Omega Shrine. If one casts one’s gaze out from here, one would see countless stars streaking across space, a sight that was both gorgeous and mysterious.

Wu Yao admired the beautiful scenery for a while, before shifting her attention to the front of the stone platform where a figure was silently seated, head raised to watch the stars shoot by.

Wu Yao sat down beside the figure and turned her head to see the outline of a beautiful face. The flawless raised nose seemed suffused with jade-light, and her thick eyelashes only accentuated eyes that twinkled like stars.

Even a proud woman like Wu Yao would never tire of admiring such beauty, wishing that this moment could be enjoyed for an eternity.

“Interested in a little drink?” Wu Yao raised her hand, causing the two wine jars clasped between her fingers to clink together.

Su Youwei finally glanced to the side, her gaze pausing on the wine jars. She bit her lip and accepted the offer, immediately unsealing the cork and pouring the contents into her mouth.

Fragrant, crystal-clear wine flowed down her cheeks and wet her clothes, causing it to stick to her chest and slightly reveal the alarming curves concealed within.

However, the two ladies were the only ones here, wasting the soul-stirring sight.

“Because of him?” Wu Yao was very direct and did not beat about the bush, going straight to the heart of reason behind Su Youwei’s terrible mood. After all, it had been a hot topic in the Omega Shrine for the past few days, and Su Youwei would obviously find out.

“There’s no need to be like this, right? Although he’s pretty amazing, I honestly don’t feel that you lose to him by much. Not picking you is his loss.”

Su Youwei raised her head. Another shooting star was reflected in her star-like eyes as she softly said, “To be honest, I already knew this would be the outcome from the start. Big sis Yaoyao has always been accompanying his highness and they’ve experienced so much together. How can I possibly compare to her?”

Wu Yao indifferently said, “But didn’t you choose to leave him and go to Hunyuan Heaven so that you can grow stronger and eventually help him?

“Staying behind isn’t hard. Leaving requires true courage and is the greater sacrifice.

“Su Youwei, I know that you’ve always been grateful to Zhou Yuan for saving you all those years ago and giving you a new life, because ever since then, you’ve always been living for his sake. To become capable enough to him, you ultimately suppressed your own wants, and left Cangxuan Heaven to arrive at the then foreign Hunyuan Heaven.

“You gave up everything you had to begin a new cultivation journey in this unfamiliar environment.

“For his sake, you had once been willing to ignore my goodwill and treat me as an enemy.

“If not for your unshakable resolution to help him in the nine regions tournament, I believe that he might not have become the champion.

“Even later on, you did all you could to follow him, willingly concealing your equally dazzling self behind him

“Zhou Yuan’s kick from back then might have started a new life for you, but it has also bound you to his shadow.”

Wu Yao looked at Su Youwei and earnestly said, “Hence, I feel that you don’t owe him anything. Su Youwei, it’s time for you to start living for yourself.”

Su Youwei was silent, only taking another swing of the wine jar. A long time later, she finally said, “But I like to be bound by his shadow.”

Wu Yao’s brows creased slightly, wishing she could somehow get through to this hopeless girl. “You won’t die even without a man!”

Su Youwei softly chuckled, looking at Wu Yao as she gently said, “Of course I understand all of this. However, if you genuinely like someone, there’s no need to think about so many things.

“I did all that not because I want to repay him, but simply because...I wished to.

“However, you are also right. I should also start thinking for myself after his highness wedding.”

Wu Yao nodded and said, “That’s better. There’s so many outstanding men in this world.”

Su Youwei shook her head. “But none of them will ever be good enough.”

Wu Yao could not deny this. No one could deny Zhou Yuan’s current accomplishments. Even individuals like her and Zhao Mushen deeply acknowledged Zhou Yuan’s capabilities. Hence, she pondered for a bit and said, “There’s several outstanding women as well.”

Su Youwei, “......”

“Never mind, it’s not like I won’t be able to get over a single person. I plan on challenging Omega Mountain soon and hope that I will succeed.” Su Youwei raised her arms and stretched, displaying her slender waist and soul-stirring curves.

Omega Mountain was a special domain created by the Omega Shrine Saint experts, and was originally used by them to temper their Saint force. Currently, it was open as a training ground to the super heaven prides that had been specially selected from the all-heaven.

There was no need to explain how dangerous a place where Saint force could be tempered was to peak Law Domain experts like Su Youwei and the others. It was very normal for a single slip to result in one being erased from existence.

Su Youwei, Wu Yao and the others had already come into contact with it, but their interactions had only been probing in nature, and they had not properly entered the mountain. However, Su Youwei had clearly made her decision.

Wu Yao stared at Su Youwei and said, “You’d better not be trying to die because of love. If you really don’t want to give up, I can accompany you to wreck his wedding.”

Su Youwei smiled and shook her head. “I’m not that weak.”

Wu Yao shrugged. “Whatever you say.”

Su Youwei raised her wine jar to Wu Yao and chuckled softly. “However, I still have to thank you.”

Wu Yao clinked her jar with Su Youwei’s. “It’s hard to meet someone who I acknowledge. I would have likely been very lonely without you.”

“You speak far too highly of me.” Su Youwei smiled as she shook her head, before lifting her face to gaze at the stars streaking across the sky. Although she said she would get over it, there was still a hollow pain in her heart that made her feel like crying. These surging emotions, however, were ultimately suppressed by her.

In the end, Su Youwei lifted her wine jar and raised it to the sky.

A determined smile rose from the corners of her mouth.

“Your highness, I wish you happiness.”
