Chapter 87 087 Do Not Fall in Love

After Feng Qingyu left the study, Gongsun Jin couldn't help but open his palm and look at the marriage line on his palm.

He clearly used his spiritual power to forcibly sever his karmic connection with that flower cultivator, so why did he fail?

Just as I was racking my brains trying to figure it out, a long-lost voice suddenly rang in my mind.

"Xiao Jin".

"Immortal Venerable!"

The Immortal Lord of Crossing Dust said in a calm tone, "Since you have already calculated that she is your tribulation, and this tribulation is not yet over, why do you want to forcibly end it?"

“My disciple and she are destined to have no connection. It would be better to sever our ties as soon as possible and return to the Heavenly Court.”

"Now that this calamity has arrived, how can you expect to avert it so easily? Once you successfully overcome this calamity, you will be ranked among the Four Heavenly Gods of the Heavenly Court. You must not act rashly again."

Gongsun Jin frowned: "Immortal Venerable..."

"You have been exceptionally gifted since childhood, and you successfully ascended to immortality by cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness. Although you are now among the immortals, you are still missing that one tribulation, preventing you from advancing further. Now that the time is ripe, once you overcome this tribulation, you can reach a higher level. What are you still hesitating for?"

"But I..."

"What, now my words have no effect on you!"

"I wouldn't dare."

Du Chen said in a clear, cold voice, "This tribulation is ordained by fate, and there is no way to avoid it. I know you have always disliked worldly affairs, but as long as you endure this destined tribulation, you can sever all ties with that womanizer. After completing this journey, you will surely have a place among the Four Heavenly Gods. Our sect has a history of thousands of years, and you are the first to ascend and the most talented. Do not disappoint your master's expectations."

Gongsun Jin paused for a moment before replying, "Yes."

"You should stay with Hua Xiu for now. Her true form's aura can help you repair the missing wisp of your life soul and also help you suppress the karmic fire within your body."

Gongsun Jin was puzzled. How could Jiang Yan, a mere cultivator of the Flower Realm, have such a great effect with her physical energy?

However, he still gave a soft "Mm".

Then the Immortal Venerable Du Chen said, "You must remember that you cultivate the Path of No Emotion, and this tribulation of love is different from others. The key to this tribulation is not that you must fall in love. You only need to stay by her side and safely pass through this tribulation. Do not fall in love. Once love takes root, you will surely fail at the last moment."

"Disciple understands."

When Gongsun Jin came out of the study, there was no one outside the hall.

He wandered around for a while and found the flower cultivator in the training ground of the Demon Emperor's Palace.

She's very outgoing and seems to make friends anywhere.

Having only been in the Demon Emperor's Palace for less than a day, he had already become friends with the lesser demons.

At this moment, a small monster with a long nose and big feet was standing in front of Jiang Yan.

He tilted his head and stared intently at the potato chips in Jiang Yan and Mei Qiu's hands.

Slurping the drool from his lips, he looked at Jiang Yan and said, "You are our Demon Emperor's Daoist partner?"

Jiang Yan smiled slightly: "For now, yes."

"When isn't it?"

Jiang Yan took a bite of the potato chip in her hand with a 'crunch' sound: "This... is hard to say."

The little demon stared intently at the thing in her hand, then snorted the drool that had reached her lips.

Jiang Yan was amused by the little demon's adorable appearance.

She beckoned to him: "Come here, have some potato chips."

The little monster's eyes lit up, but it was too embarrassed to go forward.

Jiang Yan chuckled and walked towards him with a bag of potato chips: "Here, have some."

The little demon happily accepted it: "Thank you."

Jiang Yan subconsciously raised her hand and patted his head: "You little devil, you're quite polite."

The little demon tore open a potato chip, tasted one, and then widened its eyes in surprise: "So delicious!"

He munched on potato chips while chatting with Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan looked at his adorable big feet and asked, "What kind of demon are you?"

With those big paws of his, if he were stewed, she could eat several at once!

"Sister, I am a mandrill, they all call me Little Sixteen! I am already fifty years old!"

"Oh~" Jiang Yan pondered. In her previous world, this lifespan would have been considered that of a middle-aged person, but in the world of cultivation, it would be that of a child.

Little Sixteen munched away, making his friends around him drool. The slurping sounds all around were quite comical.

Jiang Yan gave him a few more packets, saying, "Share them with them too."

"Thank you, sister!" Little Sixteen excitedly took the potato chips and went to share them with her friends behind her.

Before long, Jiang Yan heard them saying, "The Demon Emperor's Daoist partner is so amazing! She actually has such delicious food! She really is just as amazing as our Demon Emperor!"

"I think she and our Demon Emperor are a perfect match!"

"I think so too!"

Jiang Yan: "..."

How did delivering a few bags of potato chips end up getting yourself into trouble?

However, the little demons here with Feng Qingyu are really cute. It's true that no matter what world you're in, children are the easiest to coax.

A moment later, Xiao Shiliu returned to Jiang Yan's side: "I think you should not break your contract with our Demon Emperor. He is very rich! He can afford to support you! He has been widowed for many years and is quite lonely!"

Jiang Yan couldn't help but frown, wondering if Feng Qingyu was still a virgin?

She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "What has he been doing for the past five hundred years?"

Before the little demon could answer, a voice rang out from behind: "If you want to know, why don't you come and ask me yourself?"

Jiang Yan turned around and saw a person in red standing behind her.

It is undoubtedly Feng Qingyu.

That red robe was dazzlingly beautiful, exuding an eerie charm—truly befitting a prodigy who had cultivated for five hundred years. Even without seeing his face clearly, the bewitching aura emanating from him could easily capture people's hearts.

Jiang Yan was wondering why the strong, aloof, and otherworldly aura he had exuded last night had suddenly vanished so completely.

He said, "The food is ready. Would you like to come and cook together?"

"Yes, yes!"

Before Jiang Yan could speak, the black ball at her feet answered for her on its own.

Coal Ball rubbed against her ankle, whimpering and whining, "Waaah~ Coal Ball wants to eat Master's cooking~ Waaah~ Please, Master, cook for me, okay~"

Jiang Yan bent down, picked it up, and held it in her arms with a doting smile: "Then let's go cook together!"

Upon hearing this, the little dumpling in her arms immediately showed a satisfied expression, and affectionately buried its head in her palm, saying, "Master~ pat pat~"

Jiang Yan reached out and scratched its head, then stroked its neck. Coal Ball's big eyes narrowed into slits, and it kept giggling.

Suddenly, Lin Yun, who was on her wrist, also handed his snake tail to Jiang Yan's palm.

Seeing that she didn't react, he quietly wrapped it around her little finger...

Gongsun Jin, who was following behind, frowned as he looked at the green snake and black ball in Jiang Yan's palm, and his eyes narrowed.

As expected, one is influenced by one's surroundings; she actually raised the ancient ferocious beast Taotie to be like this.

It's truly baffling what Elder Wushan was thinking. He raised a spirit pet for hundreds of years, only to give it away to this flower cultivator.

With such a lack of ambition, wouldn't she be hindering the righteous path of Taotie?

Gongsun Jin had no interest in cooking, so after leaving the training ground, he went back to his room.

After switching back to his body, the karmic fire within him seemed to be backfiring again. Although the aura emanating from the flower cultivator could temporarily stabilize him, that aura alone was far from enough. He still needed to go back to his room and use his cultivation technique to suppress it.
