Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1297

Chapter 1297 Deepening Karma

"This was quite the experience, wasn't it?" Xun Junyao sighed, her body relaxing as the tension dissipated. This experience was unique, not only because it was her first time attacking a Paragon's Dao Imprint, but because of Wang Wei's presence. They were perfectly in sync, like two peas from the same pod. Xun Junyao understood why he was her fated lover, or maybe they fit so well because of that.

Of course, her perfect harmony with Wang Wei was not the most memorable aspect of this experience. In the past 3 million years, she has made rapid progress regarding the application of True Wills, and her understanding of Dao Imprints reached a higher level. This experience will drastically reduce the time she needs to adapt to battles at the Paragon Level.

"Indeed," Wang Wei replied. However, upon closer observation, Xun Junyao realized he was slightly distracted, and that's because Wang Wei had discovered something. His karmic connection with Xun Junyao had drastically increased in the past millions of years, and that somehow made it easier for him to cut off their fate line.

'What is this? Does Fate want to entice me to deepen my relationship with her before deciding to cut off all connections? Does it think I won't be able to resist the temptation?' Wang Wei wanted to roll his eyes but resisted the urge.

"Is everything alright?" Xun Junyao asked.

"Sorry about that, I was lost in my thoughts," Wang Wei apologized.

"I can tell. Care to share what's on your mind?"

"Nothing of importance," Wang Wei replied before looking at the tea cups and set. Even after so long, they remained intact — including the tea. However, it was no longer hot, so he waved his hand to heat it.

"If you say so," Xun Junyao nodded. Since he did not want to talk about it, she would not insist. She sipped her hot tea. The ambiance suddenly became awkward due to the silence. Xun Junyao could tell Wang Wei had this rejection against her. Although he tried to hide it, she noticed it.

'Well, he cultivates Fate Dao and pursues absolute freedom, so, understandably, he would reject a fated companion,' Xun Junyao thought. 'It's fine if he doesn't want to associate with me, but I still need to confirm whether he can help me.'

"Now that I think about it," she said. "I owe you more than one favor."

"Are you talking about Xiao Tiandi? If so, I don't think I did anything," Wang Wei replied.

"Without you giving him such a wake-up call, I doubt he would ever have the desire to change," Xun Junyao replied. She had been quite stressed about what to do with her disciple, trying countless methods to enlighten him. Luckily for her, Old Man Tianji gave a message that there might be an opportunity in the lower dimension, so she used all her connections to secure a spot for him.

"Maybe you're right," Wang Wei nodded. Xun Junyao frowned at his response.

"You seem guarded," she said. "This is unlike you."

"And you presume to know me?"

"No, but I know enough to know this is not how you normally behave," Xun Junyao responded calmly. Her words made Wang Wei ponder.

'She's right. There is no point in being reserved or alienating her. I don't need to be influenced by the events of my alternate self, nor care about what [Fate] is planning, and I especially do not need to worry about how Wu Hong would feel based on my relationship with her. In fact, I should act above board instead of being suspicious.'

"My apology," Wang Wei said. "It seems I've been overthinking a lot."
