42 I'm Done With These Women!

"Stop...!"

Out of nowhere, a bone-chilling voice echoed behind Qiuyue, causing her to drop Luo Xueying to the ground and release Nyx from her grip.

Yan Shun, looking somewhat disoriented, rose to his feet. His demeanor, however, was cold as ice.

"Why is there always a fight between the three of you!?" He exclaimed in frustration.

This was like an endless cycle! Could these women not coexist for even a moment?

"It was her who brought you here and knocked us out!" Nyx accused, pointing a finger at Qiuyue.

Yan Shun sighed deeply.

"Damn it... I didn't want to resort to this."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Luo Xueying asked with curiosity.

At that crucial moment, a strange-looking barrier filled with strange runes enveloped the trio, and Yan Shun muttered with a frosty gaze.

"The Nine Gods and Demons Sealing Array!"

But, instead of the array using his Qi to be activated; the array seemed to absorb Qi itself, like it had its own consciousness.

"What... kind of array is this?" Nyx questioned in astonishment.

"I have no idea." Qiuyue shook her head.

Even both of them, who lived for billions of years were clueless about Yan Shun's mysterious array.

"This array will endure for an ENTIRE YEAR..." He declared coldly.

"By the time you get out, I hope you've learned to get along... If not, next time, you'll be stuck in here for decades!"

"I'll catch up with you ladies in a year or more."

In an instant, Yan Shun vanished from their sight, thanks to the barrier obstructing their divine consciousness.

Stuck within the confines of the Nine Gods and Demons Sealing Array, the three women exchanged uneasy glances.

Luo Xueying finally broke the silence. "Well, this is just fantastic. Trapped in a barrier with two... home-wreckers."

Hearing her, Nyx rolled her eyes. "Blame Qiuyue. She's the reason we're in this mess in the first place."

"Shut up! If you didn't interrupt my quality time with Yan Shun, this wouldn't have happened!" Qiuyue retorted angrily.

The three women looked at each other with deep rage in their eyes; they all knew that it was going to be the worst and slowest year ever...

"Brother Qing!" Yan Shun called out to Luo Qing.

After hearing that same familiar, Luo Qing who was currently on his knees, turned his head, his lips curving into a happy smile.

'He survived...!' He exclaimed inwardly.

'My prayers... were answered!'

"Brother Shun... Uh... where are the others...?" He asked curiously.

"Ah, don't worry about them... they won't be leaving that place for an ENTIRE year..." Yan Shun smiled, emphasizing the "entire".

Looking at his weird smile, Luo Qing had a very bad premonition in his heart but obviously decided to ignore it.

I mean... after what happened... ahem.

"A-Alright...?" Luo Qing stammered.

'What did happen in those few moments...?' He wondered.

Meanwhile, Yan Shun was having a happy chat with his system.

'Are you sure that they can't escape?'

[Yes.]

'Really?'

[Yup.]

'Are you 100% sure!?'

[...Yes.]

'Are you absolutely sure that they can't esc—'

[YES! That is an Array that the strongest being used in the Primordial Era! It could seal every kind of demon or god!]

[Also, if someone attacks the array, it will just absorb their power. Relax! They won't be able to leave that array.]

'...Alright.'

"Brother Yan... Today is Christmas Day, so how about we celebrate?" Luo Qing asked.

"Oh, yeah... I forgot about that. Sure? Any ideas in mind?" He replied.

At that moment, Luo Qing's face suddenly turned a bit dark...

"Kekeke~..."

He approached Yan Shun and whispered something into his ear.

Yan Shun's eyes widened as he heard his words, however, his lips slowly curved into a small yet dark smirk.

Swoosh!

"Are you ready...?" Luo Qing asked.

"More than ready...!" Yan Shun replied.

"Three... two... one!"

"NOW!"

BOOM!

Suddenly, the room was suddenly filled with a burst of color as fireworks erupted in the night sky, casting a vibrant display of reds, greens, and blues.

In the heart of the midnight city, people gazed up at the stunning night sky painted with lively colors.

The spectacle carried on for several hours, a dazzling display of lights that captivated everyone.

As time flowed like a quiet river, suddenly, a colossal explosion burst forth in the sky.

It wasn't just an ordinary explosion; it was a grand moment that held everyone's breath.

Amidst the sparkling remnants of the explosion, only a tiny phrase lingered in the air...

Merry Christmas Everyone~~~ 🎄🎄🎄
