Cen Xi never imagined that going out to worship Buddha and utter a complaint would make her trendy, becoming a transmigrator.
Others transmigrate to become rich young ladies, or empresses, or...
"Yu Kuang..."
Cen Xi stepped forward and hugged Jun Jianchou's waist, saying nothing at all.
"Alright! Stop crying. It seems like you're the one who hurt me. Okay, why are you crying so hard?"
Jun Jianchou felt that a large patch of his clothes was wet on his back, so he pried her hands open and pulled her to the front to wipe her tears.
He's really screwed up in this life. Hopefully, he'll have a chance to go to the King of Hell's palace in his next reincarnation, drink a bowl of Meng Po soup, and completely forget this woman!
Otherwise, he'd have to shamelessly fawn over her in his next life.
"I...I'm so sorry!"
Cen Xi took his hand away, wiped away her tears, and said.
"I'm sorry, Cen Xi, you've said this eight hundred times already. Fine, I admit defeat. I won't mention love or romance in front of you again. I'll let you go, and you can let yourself go too. Just don't tell me if you fall for someone else in the future, and don't send me an invitation to your wedding. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist crashing the wedding."
Jun Jianchou saw her remove her hand, raise it again, and finally lower it.
"Yu Kuang, I don't love you, and I won't love anyone else. I've made up my mind this time. I'm going to tear that Shen Gou to pieces. He bullied me twice, so I'm going to go to hell to repent!"
When Cen Xi thought of the man who could make her heart flutter, she became fierce and said through gritted teeth.
What are your plans?
The mere mention of that slumbering dog would send stormy waves through Jun Jianchou's peach blossom eyes; he wouldn't be able to quell his hatred until he killed him.
“I asked Zhu Yanniang to help me. I plan to have her transform into my appearance to seduce him. Last time I used the Demonic Sound to control him for half a cup of tea. This time I plan to use the same method to control him. Then I will cut the Gordian knot and kill him with a single sword.”
Her master said he was destined for a short life, so she might as well let him die young in her hands; she had no desire to get entangled with this person.
"Then don't show up. After you finish playing your piece, I'll take care of that 'sinking dog'."
Jun Jianchou's eyes held a hint of amusement and contempt. So what if that Shen Gou could use shameless means to get close to Cen Xi?
He could only provoke Cen Xi into doing everything she could to harm him. He knew Cen Xi's personality; she disliked being controlled by others the most.
So this is truly a perfect opportunity to kill Shen Gou.
"No! I'll deal with this bastard myself. Yu Kuang, actually, I called you here so you could deal with someone else. That person is the founding emperor of the Great Banquet Dynasty, Emperor Taizu. My master said he was reborn, but he wasn't born into the royal family. And twenty-one years ago, when I was born, my soul was extracted, and that was his doing."
"Now that I'm back, he naturally knows. If it weren't for the jade ring my master gave me, I probably would have been chased down by him until I couldn't even breathe."
Cen Xi counted the two times this person had chased her, and he hadn't personally taken action. Last time she killed so many of his people, so this time he should at least come and see what she looks like.
Therefore, she must be fully prepared.
"Grand Ancestor Yan? Grandmaster? When did you have a grandmaster? Doesn't the Hidden Sect only have Old Man Gongsun right now?"
Jun Jian was filled with doubt as he watched Cen Xi talk eloquently about people he had never met.
Although the bruises on her face hadn't disappeared yet, she could still show a puzzled expression.
"When my master threw me into the Star Shifting Formation for training, I accidentally fell off a cliff. I thought I would fall into a cold pool like Xiaolongnu in Jin Yong's novels, but I fell into a thicket of thorns. Luckily, a tree caught me, otherwise I would have been riddled with holes."
"puff!"
"Don't laugh, I'm not finished yet. After hanging in the tree for a day, I tried to get out, but I didn't expect that place to be set up with an array. So I tried to break the array, and while I was breaking it, I was pulled into a thicket of thorns by a strong force, and that's when I met an old man."
"Hmm? And then?"
"Then he told me about his entanglement with Emperor Yan Taizu, and the whole process of how Emperor Yan Taizu seized the throne of Daqi by despicable means."
"Then they said I was the one who would suppress Yan Taizu's comeback, and that if I were to slack off, I would be punished by heaven. After being killed by Buddha's bronze hand in my previous life, how could I not dare to believe in fate?"
"So now I'm forced to work and deal with this Yan Taizu. I hope that after I complete the task assigned by God, I can be a parasite in my next life!"
Cen Xi laid out everything she knew and her innermost thoughts. She couldn't keep a secret, so she had to speak; otherwise, she would feel uncomfortable.
"Your life in this life is truly tragic. Who told you to act so recklessly in the past? See, karma is coming your way."
Jun Jianchou glanced at her, without a trace of sympathy.
"Yu Kuang, I sent you here to help, not to ridicule you. I reckon that scoundrel and this Yan Taizu will probably be here by tomorrow night at the latest. And that Yan Taizu will definitely bring a lot of people. Last time I used the wild beasts around Feifeng Mountain to kill all the people he sent, leaving only one alive to report. This time I'm afraid there will be even more people coming!"
Cen Xi glared at him, then looked at the jade ring in her hand and calculated that it would completely expire tomorrow.
She had thought of Emperor Taizu last time, but she hadn't considered that there was another treacherous man lurking in the shadows, so she miscalculated. She must make thorough preparations for this.
"Why did you leave him alive last time? Were you afraid they wouldn't be able to find you? If what our master said is true, his junior brother is Yan Taizu, then he must be very strong. You are still young and inexperienced. Are you his match?"
Jun Jianchou asked irritably.
"Because I also need to determine who Yan Taizu is. You can't expect me to search all over the streets! It's better to take the initiative than to be passively attacked."
Cen Xi rolled her eyes at him and retorted.
"Hmm, I didn't expect you to be getting smarter. This way of thinking isn't bad; waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump is a good strategy! So, let me ask you, where did you offend that 'sinking dog'?"
Jun Jianchou was still bothered by why that stray dog had entered Cen Xi's field of vision.
Could he be Yan Taizu? No, that doesn't make sense. If he were Yan Taizu, Cen Xi wouldn't have told him to deal with Yan Taizu while she went to deal with that Shen Gou herself.
"I ran into this dog when I went to the Prince Heng's Mansion in Yucheng to find Emperor Taizu. He chased me all the way here."
Cen Xi now deeply regrets going to Yucheng and getting involved with someone she shouldn't have. Look how annoying he is now; she even has to go to great lengths to kill him.
She already had a powerful enemy, ha! Now she has another one.
"Alright! It's no use regretting it now. That dog will fall into your trap tomorrow night. You absolutely cannot be soft-hearted. One fatal blow is his damn standard move. Remember to be quick, accurate, and ruthless. That cunning dog is very sly. Opportunities are fleeting, so don't miss them."
"Don't worry about what's going on outside. If that Yan Taizu dares to come, I'll make sure he never comes back."
Jun Jianchou's face at this moment revealed a sharp edge about to emerge from his body.
