Chapter 95: You Can Only Like Me (21)
“Made up?” Song Jin’yue looked at Jiang Zhiyan.
Jiang Zhiyan immediately let go, took two steps back, put some distance between them, and sat down: “No, I just happened to bring you back from the city gate, after all, it’s your first time here and you don’t know the way, it’s just common courtesy.”
Song Jin’yue chuckled softly: “Okay.”
She rummaged through her storage pouch and looked at Jiang Zhiyan: “Close your eyes.”
Jiang Zhiyan didn’t move. Song Jin’yue leaned closer and kissed Jiang Zhiyan’s cheek, looking at her with a smile.
“I won’t hold it against you.” Jiang Zhiyan obediently closed her eyes this time, her heart pounding with anticipation.
“No peeking with your divine sense.”
“I’m not,” Jiang Zhiyan said. “You don’t trust me.”
Song Jin’yue nudged Jiang Zhiyan’s shoulder: “Okay, open your eyes.”
“What is this?” Jiang Zhiyan looked at the string of demonic beast teeth on the table. Having spent so much time in the Demon Realm, she could tell at a glance which region these demonic beasts came from. This person had backtracked, she probably hadn’t rested much these past few days.
“I asked around, it’s an ancient marriage proposal custom in the Demon Realm, stringing together teeth from nine different types of demonic beasts, all Nascent Soul stage, I didn’t encounter any Spirit Severing ones, and even if I did, I probably couldn’t defeat them,” Song Jin’yue pushed the necklace forward. “I’ve already processed them, there’s no smell.”
Jiang Zhiyan rested her chin on her hand, looked away, then back at Song Jin’yue: “So sly, I asked you to coax me, and you proposed at the same time.”
“But aren’t we already married?” Song Jin’yue sat beside Jiang Zhiyan. “I just wanted to give you a special gift, I chose demonic beasts with especially hard teeth, nine teeth, representing our long-lasting and unbreakable love.”
Jiang Zhiyan couldn’t help but chuckle. Seeing her smile, Song Jin’yue leaned closer, wrapped her arm around Jiang Zhiyan’s, her gaze like small hooks, capturing her attention. Jiang Zhiyan gently caressed Song Jin’yue’s neck and lowered her head. Song Jin’yue looked up, released Jiang Zhiyan’s arm, and wrapped her arms tightly around her neck.
Jiang Zhiyan pulled Song Jin’yue onto her lap and nibbled on her neck with dissatisfaction: “Just a reminder, I’m still not properly coaxed.”
“I know,” Song Jin’yue said helplessly.
…
“Interview time, the female lead and the female supporting character are together now, how do you feel?” the System asked curiously. During missions, it could usually only talk to Jiang Zhiyan, this was the first time it could communicate with other people and other species, it was a bit excited.
The world consciousness was silent for three whole minutes before speaking: “I’ve accepted it.”
After saying that, it disappeared, clearly not wanting to continue watching what was about to happen.
“They’re not even going to the room, this is indecent,” the System complained and also ran away.
Jiang Zhiyan had already carried Song Jin’yue onto the stone table, their kissing hadn’t stopped. Song Jin’yue, her arms around Jiang Zhiyan’s neck, slowly lay down on the table, her eyes red and watery.
“We’ll rest for a day today, you still have to cultivate tomorrow,” Jiang Zhiyan whispered.
Song Jin’yue, a little confused, arched her back slightly as Jiang Zhiyan moved: “You call this resting?”
“Leisure.”
“Aren’t we going inside?” Song Jin’yue asked.
“No one will come here, those with lower cultivation than me can’t spy on us,” Jiang Zhiyan said, listening to Song Jin’yue’s rapid breathing. “Haven’t you been cultivating diligently? You’re only at this level?”
Song Jin’yue turned her head away, covering her eyes, listening to her own broken voice, feeling like she had melted into a puddle of water.
“Why are you covering your eyes? Don’t you want to look at me?” Jiang Zhiyan asked with a wronged tone. “You can’t coax me anymore, completely uncoaxable.”
Song Jin’yue pulled Jiang Zhiyan’s collar, pulling her closer: “I’m looking, I love looking.”
…
Su Huo, standing outside the palace, was confused, why couldn’t she enter suddenly?
She looked around with her hands on her hips, thought for three seconds, then turned and skipped away. She had thought the barrier was temporary, who knew she still couldn’t enter after coming back at night, she discreetly asked Zhao Xiting.
“Don’t you know? She picked up a woman at the city gate today and started kissing her right there.”
Su Huo: ?
At this rate, what had she missed?
Zhao Xiting continued gossiping: “What’s the relationship between My Lord and Song Jin’yue and Wei Jingqian?”
“Wei Jingqian?” Su Huo felt like she hadn’t heard this name in eight hundred years. “He’s just a backdrop to their love story.”
Zhao Xiting understood and nodded: “You can do that in the cultivation world?”
“Normally, no, but do you think Jiang Zhiyan cares?”
“Indeed, as expected of My Lord.”
Su Huo suspected he was being sarcastic, but his admiring expression didn’t seem sarcastic at all.
She had felt that this person wasn’t quite right the first time she saw him, and even more so now.
…
Song Jin’yue initially thought Jiang Zhiyan was joking about only resting for a day, but she was actually serious.
When she woke up, she was already at the crater of a volcano.
“Are we in such a hurry?” Song Jin’yue looked at Jiang Zhiyan.
“Mm,” Jiang Zhiyan nodded. “The world consciousness will look after you, you don’t need any more instructions from me, you know what to do, I’m going to release the Demon Lord today.”
Song Jin’yue looked down into the crater: “Jump straight down?”
“Mm, I’ll pick you up after you finish cultivating,” Jiang Zhiyan looked at Song Jin’yue. “I’m leaving, aren’t you going to kiss me goodbye?”
“I don’t want you to leave, so no goodbye, I didn’t expect you to be in such a hurry,” Song Jin’yue walked over to Jiang Zhiyan. “Why are you so much taller than me in this world?”
“Just half a head,” Jiang Zhiyan lowered her head.
Song Jin’yue kissed the corner of her mouth: “Is it dangerous?”
“It’s alright, I already started preparing this morning while you were asleep,” Jiang Zhiyan said.
Jiang Zhiyan asked the System to prepare several highly inflammatory articles exposing the “false Heavenly Dao,” these articles would be spread throughout the three realms, and she also asked the Demon Kings to find some trustworthy-looking people to give speeches in each realm, there was no need to find specific evidence, the situation in the mortal realm was the best evidence.
All this was to shake people’s faith, a Heavenly Dao that wasn’t recognized by anyone couldn’t be considered a Heavenly Dao, at a time like this, if the world consciousness took appropriate actions, it could win over people’s hearts, especially those in the mortal realm who had suffered for so long.
Although the Demon Kings said it was difficult to find “trustworthy-looking people,” Jiang Zhiyan believed in their abilities.
If nothing unexpected happened, those rumors should have already spread throughout the cultivation world.
The leaders of the major sects and families in the cultivation world held an emergency meeting. They had originally planned to keep it a secret, but now it was clearly impossible to hide it any longer. Those who believed the rumors and those who believed in the Heavenly Dao were divided into two factions, and they had been arguing for almost half an hour.
“I think the Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion should know the most about this, after all, he’s been observing the heavens for so long, Sect Master He, you haven’t said anything since you arrived.”
The Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion frowned: “He didn’t tell me about the incident in the mortal realm.”
The entire hall fell silent, everyone’s gaze on the Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion.
“So what do you think, Sect Master?”
“The key is the cycle of reincarnation,” the ancestor of the Wanfa Sect said. “I’ve been to the mortal realm, none of you here can rebuild the cycle of reincarnation.”
Her words weren’t explicit, but everyone understood what she meant.
Whoever could rebuild the cycle of reincarnation was the Heavenly Dao.
“Perhaps it’s not impossible…” the Wei Family Head said.
“Even our ancestor couldn’t do it, you can?” The Second Elder of the Wanfa Sect looked at him with dissatisfaction. Jiang Zhiyan falling into demonic cultivation and taking the Sun and Moon Mirror was a heavy blow to the reputation of not only the Myriad Swords Sect, but also the Wei family.
“The key is Jiang Zhiyan.”
Hearing this name, the Sect Master of Tianyan Pavilion looked at the Wei Family Head, he didn’t want to cause more trouble, so he didn’t mention the Heavenly Dao’s order to eliminate Jiang Zhiyan.
“Jiang Zhiyan is a divine descendant, perhaps we can do what was done tens of thousands of years ago,” the Wei Family Head whispered.
His words were like a bolt from the blue, even the usually calm people present looked shocked, after all, not many people knew about what happened tens of thousands of years ago, and the divine descendant was just a myth to many, not to be taken seriously.
“Such a good opportunity, and you’re letting it slip away, it doesn’t want gods to exist, and it doesn’t want anyone to ascend, can’t you see? Fools,” Jiang Zhiyan said, she was at the Demon Lord’s seal, but she still diverted part of her attention to listen to their discussion. “If it continues to exist, all of you here will only end up dead.”
“None of you mentioned this during your discussion, do you not believe it?” Jiang Zhiyan sneered. “What happened tens of thousands of years ago? I have the true Heavenly Dao backing me, it won’t happen again, you have two choices, die or cooperate.”
Jiang Zhiyan’s sudden appearance made everyone’s expressions darken. Her actions were practically telling them that her cultivation level was higher than all of theirs.
“I’ll release the Demon Lord first,” Jiang Zhiyan tore open the seal with her bare hands. “Think carefully.”
The hall was silent for a long time, no one went to check on the Demon Lord, they couldn’t stop it anyway. Finally, the ancestor of the Wanfa Sect stood up, supporting herself on the table: “If we can’t ascend, then what’s the point of living? I’m truly bored.”
Once she expressed her stance, others echoed her sentiments.
…
The Demon Lord, who had been sealed for thousands of years, opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhiyan. The Demonic Sword, seeing its former master, was calm. It had been worried that the Demon Lord would discover it had abandoned him, but it wasn’t afraid now, because Jiang Zhiyan was already a demigod, and the Demon Lord couldn’t defeat her.
The Demonic Sword was a little proud, but the fact that Jiang Zhiyan didn’t like using it made it a bit unhappy.
“You…” his voice was hoarse.
“I want you to come forward as a victim and denounce the Heavenly Dao. I’ve already written the speech, you have three days to memorize it, and you have to appear vulnerable.”
Demon Lord: ?
Jiang Zhiyan didn’t bother explaining, she directly tossed the speech and a communication jade to him: “If you have any questions, contact the Western Demon King, do you know how to use a communication jade? Infuse it with demonic energy, there’s a message for the Western Demon King inside.”
