Chapter 28 He's about to break
Jiang Jiu bought a lot of spiritual fruits and fermented rice wine at Huaxian's stall and left satisfied.
However, in the end, there was no escape from the marriage tree.
Jiang Jiu followed the two of them reluctantly, imagining various possible scenarios in his mind, and even thought about the possibility of them pulling up the marriage tree.
"If the marriage tree is gone, can you still be the marriage god?"
Jiang Jiu cautiously conveyed the message to Liu Bai.
"?"
Liu Bai turned his head and gave her a confused look, then asked cautiously.
"What? Do you think the Marriage Tree shouldn't exist?"
He seemed to have misunderstood something, thinking that she had some objection to the marriage tree.
Jiang Jiu was at a loss for words and shook his head quietly.
"It's not me, it's the two in front."
She continued to transmit the message.
Liu Bai was completely confused. He thought about it and looked worried.
"If the marriage tree disappears, there's nothing I, the marriage god, can do. Humanity might become extinct."
In fact, what he said was not an exaggeration at all. The marriage tree connects all the marriages and love in the six realms. If it disappears, human beings will definitely become extinct.
"Um... that shouldn't be possible."
Jiang Jiu calculated with his fingers and felt that Ji Chen would not do such a bad thing, so he turned to show a comforting look to Liu Bai.
"Don't worry, it should be fine."
Liu Bai was not comforted at all, but became even more frightened.
"should?"
He asked.
"Hmm...high probability."
Jiang Jiu hesitated for a moment and said.
"High probability?"
Liu Bai became even more panicked.
"Oh, it's nothing."
Jiang Jiu patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Although she said so, Liu Bai was still very nervous the rest of the way, fearing that Ji Chen and Fo Jiang would suddenly cause trouble and destroy the divine position that he had finally regained.
Not long after, the four of them arrived under the marriage tree. Many immortals had already arrived here, in pairs, looking very affectionate. The huge pink marriage tree stood in the upper realm, connecting the void and the nine heavens, and looked extremely spectacular.
The marriage tree also symbolizes life and the future in various senses. Without love, there will be no new life. It has the same effect as the origin tree.
Of course, Jiang Jiu didn’t understand much about all this. She just looked at the giant tree, and suddenly an indescribable sense of intimacy arose in her heart, as if she was close to a relative.
She walked forward unconsciously, even leaving Ji Chen and Fo Jiang behind. She slowly approached the marriage tree and instinctively touched the trunk.
"So warm, so kind."
This was the only thought in her mind.
After realizing it, Jiang Jiu was shocked by this thought. She was obviously a human being, so how could she feel that a tree was like a relative?
Jiang Jiu shook his head, driving out a bunch of strange thoughts from his head.
"The red string of the marriage tree..."
She looked down and saw a soft pink light right under the marriage tree. Jiang Jiu reached out to touch it, and the pink light suddenly turned into a red rope and wrapped around Jiang Jiu's wrist.
“!”
Before Jiang Jiu could react, he was caught off guard and entangled.
"What's going on?"
She turned her head and looked at Liu Bai beside her, asking questions.
"Once you touch the marriage thread, of course the red string will appear."
Liu Bai looked at her as if she were an idiot.
Jiang Jiu felt a little annoyed, but she didn't even realize it. It seemed that she had to be careful with her words and actions when she went to unknown places in the future.
“....”
Suddenly, Jiang Jiu felt a burning gaze falling on her. Following her sixth sense, she saw Ji Chen staring at her not far away.
Jiang Jiu's brain exploded like fireworks. It was over. She had triggered the red rope. Ji Chen was probably going to come to her and try to tie the red rope together.
As expected, Ji Chen walked towards her quickly when he saw this. To Jiang Jiu's surprise, a red rope appeared in his hand.
Every immortal and human has his or her own red thread, but it will only materialize after approaching the marriage tree. Only on the day of begging for skill will the immortals be allowed to choose their own lovers, and the rest of the time the marriage god is responsible.
Seeing Ji Chen staring at him without blinking, Jiang Jiu unconsciously tightened his hand holding the red thread.
"Teacher..."
Ji Chen lowered his eyes, and his cold expression was now tinged with a hint of anticipation and nervousness.
Jiang Jiu sighed helplessly, but still handed over the red rope.
"Master, don't look like that. I can't refuse you."
Jiang Jiu also knew that she was sometimes very conflicted. She was clearly trying hard to refuse, but when she saw him showing even the slightest bit of vulnerability, she couldn't help but bow her head for him.
"Um."
Ji Chen's long eyelashes like crow feathers trembled slightly, and he looked up at the flying red line.
Under the influence of the marriage tree, the two people were pulled by the red rope and slowly approached each other, emitting a faint pink light, looking beautiful and sacred, and then...
The pink light suddenly disappeared, and Jiang Jiu and Ji Chen's red ropes fell back into their hands.
"ah?"
Liu Bai was originally looking at the two people with an aunt's smile, but when he saw this scene, he opened his eyes wide in shock. It was the first time he encountered such a situation.
“!”
Jiang Jiu was also stunned and subconsciously looked at Liu Bai, then saw Liu Bai's stunned expression.
Well, it seems he doesn't quite understand.
“....”
Ji Chen stood frozen in place, his arms suspended in mid-air, motionless, the sadness and loneliness in his body almost overflowing.
"Uh, Master, this must be an accident."
Jiang Jiu looked at Ji Chen who was almost broken, and for a moment he didn't care about the problem of the red line, but tried to coax him in a panic.
In this situation, Ji Chen won’t cry, right?
"Don't worry, Master is fine."
Ji Chen clenched his fingers, the loneliness in his eyes was indescribable, and he looked extremely distressed.
“Uh….Uh…”
When Jiang Jiu was racking his brains to think of what to do, Fo Jiang suddenly walked towards them.
“!”
Jiang Jiu's eyebrows twitched and he felt a chill on his head.
What if Fojiang also says that he wants to tie a red rope?
If they can't tie it, both of them will be sad. If they tie it, Ji Chen will be torn apart on the spot.
Jiang Jiu was so flustered that he was like a little rabbit spinning in place, and he really wanted to cry on the spot.
"So worried?"
Fo Jiang saw the hidden meaning in Jiang Jiu's expression, shook his head and asked.
"Um...."
Jiang Jiu was in a dilemma whether to agree or not.
"You and this poor monk are not related."
When Fo Jiang said this, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Jiu's arm. The red rope between the two of them floated into the air, and as expected, it fell back inexplicably.
“?!”
Jiang Jiu was surprised, but not surprised at the same time. However, it seemed that Ji Chen beside him seemed to have come back a little bit, and was not as broken as before.
"Why is this happening?"
She looked at Liu Bai, but Liu Bai's eyes wandered away, and he didn't intend to pay any attention to Jiang Jiu at all.
Because he doesn't know either.
