Chu Yang felt a biting chill as the rain poured down in torrents. The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and the cold raindrops kept falling incessantly.
The piercing cold wind howled continuously.
Even Chu Yang found it difficult to endure such harsh weather.
Bang! As expected, when Chu Yang glanced back slightly, he saw the petite woman who had been following him struggling to withstand the terrible weather. She had collapsed into the rain.
Chu Yang glanced at her briefly without much emotion and continued moving forward, choosing to ignore the woman.
However, it wasn't long before Chu Yang turned back.
Seeing the small woman lying on the ground, Chu Yang sighed and finally decided to pick her up and continue on his way.
It was already challenging for Chu Yang to travel alone, and now with Yaoguang as a burden, it was uncertain how long it would take to completely leave the demon territory.
The woman in his arms trembled slightly and struggled a bit. Her voice was very weak: "You don't have to care about me. Just put me down."
Chu Yang glanced at her with a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "Stop moving!"
Yaoguang wanted to say something but saw Chu Yang's face and ultimately kept quiet, not saying another word.
Her heart was extremely conflicted.
However, now that he had to travel with Yaoguang, Chu Yang felt immense pressure.
Although Yaoguang's figure was delicate and light, to Chu Yang, she was still as heavy as a mountain.
Outside the Celestial Emperor's realm.
The group of cultivators watching this scene were somewhat moved.
They hadn't expected that in such a situation, the Emperor would not choose to abandon Empress Yaoguang.
"One must admit, the Emperor's heart is truly kind at this moment," a cultivator sighed.
One must know that Empress Yaoguang and the Emperor were mere acquaintances at best, and the Emperor had even slain her sister and brother-in-law.
One could say that they were enemies.
If Empress Yaoguang came to her senses, she could attack and kill the Emperor at any moment.
Yet, the Emperor did not abandon her.
It was already extremely difficult for the Emperor to leave the demon territory.
This was no longer the time when the Emperor had stormed into the Celestial Demon Mountain, possessing earth-shattering power, and could easily leave the demon territory.
The Emperor had now become a mortal, and every moment he spent in the demon territory posed a life-threatening danger.
People couldn't help but feel emotional.
The truest nature of humanity is not revealed when one is wealthy and prosperous.
Rather, it is when a person is penniless, destitute, and has nothing that their true character is most apparent.
The Emperor's character, both in the past and now, was impeccable and faultless.
Perhaps it was because of that little fox from before that had a significant influence on the Emperor.
Back then, the Emperor and the little fox had also met by chance, but the little fox was still willing to risk its life to help him.
This made the Emperor unwilling to leave Empress Yaoguang behind.
Ye Fan, listening to people praising the Emperor again, was full of frustration.
He was furious.
The Emperor was clearly a ruthless and tyrannical demon who wreaked havoc on the world!
Chu Yang felt a biting chill as the rain poured down in torrents. The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and the cold raindrops kept falling incessantly.

This made the Emperor unwilling to leave Empress Yaoguang behind.
Ye Fan, listening to people praising the Emperor again, was full of frustration.
He was furious.
He was the one destined to subdue this great demon and bring light to the world!
Especially seeing the Emperor carrying Empress Yaoguang forward, his anger burned even hotter. First, he had stolen Bai Xiaoqi's first kiss, and now he was so close to Empress Yaoguang.
With a sneer, he said, "Empress Yaoguang possesses the Taiyin Body, an unparalleled sacred body. Who knows what the Emperor is truly thinking?"
"In my opinion, the only reason the Emperor saved Empress Yaoguang is because he values her Taiyin Body."
"After all, the Emperor has lost his cultivation and foundation. If he can obtain the Taiyin Body that Empress Yaoguang possesses, he might have a chance to re-enter the path of cultivation."
As Ye Fan's words fell, the cultivators present were in an uproar.
They suddenly realized that the Taiyin Body was an exceptional vessel. Dual cultivation with such a body would bring immense benefits to any cultivator.
The Emperor had already lost many paths to cultivation, and it seemed unrealistic for him to start anew.
The cultivators couldn't fathom any other way the Emperor could re-enter the path of cultivation, so they focused their attention on Empress Yaoguang.
However, as Empress Yaoguang felt the strange gazes around her, she exuded an extremely cold aura, with terrifying imperial power surging from within her.
Everyone was filled with dread and withdrew their gazes.
Then, Empress Yaoguang gave Ye Fan a cold look.
Ye Fan felt awkward, realizing he might have misspoken.
He quickly apologized to Empress Yaoguang.
In truth, Empress Yaoguang had once suspected that Chu Yang saved her only because he coveted her Taiyin Body.
But as they spent more time together, she gradually dispelled this notion.
After all, back then, Chu Yang had no idea she possessed the Taiyin Body, nor did he understand its significance.
Moreover, she had subtly expressed her feelings for him, but Chu Yang had remained oblivious.
This had left Empress Yaoguang both loving and hating him.
Chu Yang's uniqueness deeply attracted Empress Yaoguang, and she fell completely in love with him.
The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred.
She once loved Chu Yang deeply, and now she hated him just as intensely.
Not far away, Bai Xiaoqi saw Empress Yaoguang's expression and sensed the extraordinary history between her and the Emperor.
She even felt a twinge of jealousy in her heart.
This surprised her, as she and the Emperor were supposed to be mortal enemies. How could she be jealous?
Shaking her head, Bai Xiaoqi refocused her attention on the Celestial Emperor's Mirror.
...
Three days passed.
Chu Yang's pace slowed considerably as he traveled with the burden of Yaoguang.
However, in these three days, with Chu Yang's care, Yaoguang's complexion improved significantly, and she regained some strength.
She looked much better than a few days ago.
Arriving by a stream, Chu Yang placed her under a large tree, then looked around before disappearing from Yaoguang's sight.
The cultivators watching were stunned.
"Is the Emperor going to abandon Empress Yaoguang?"
A cultivator sighed, not expecting the Emperor to do such a thing right after being praised for his character.
Even Ye Fan was caught off guard. He didn't expect the Emperor to act this way.
He immediately sneered, "As expected, the Emperor is as selfish as ever, ultimately choosing to abandon Empress Yaoguang!"
The cultivators were furious.
The Emperor's actions were too much.
Saving and then abandoning—what was the difference?
It was even more torturous for Empress Yaoguang. Giving her hope only to bring despair.
All the cultivators stood up for Empress Yaoguang, condemning the Emperor's actions.
