Chapter 162

As dusk fell, candles were lit everywhere at the Spring Flower Banquet. The monks toasted each other, talking about everything related to the Immortal Lord and the Nightmare Lord. Even the Lord in Black became an insignificant thing of the past.

The reason why they had no scruples was that those venerable masters with profound cultivation had all returned to Qianli Yanbo, and the ancestors and leaders of various sects who stayed here were also talking about the same topic. With them taking the lead, the disciples below were even more excited.

On the other side, Su Jinzhou flew back to Jitang on his sword. When Huanmang caught up with him, he had already brought the man into the cave and cast a spell to seal the cave.

Huan Mang was a step too late and bumped into the thick wall of the forbidden spell, knocking him backward. He was so angry that he grimaced, but there was nothing he could do.

Inside the cave, Su Jinzhou pulled someone into the bedroom.

He took big steps, and Jitang had to jog a few steps to keep up with him.

It has been a while since she moved to Qitang Pavilion, and this place still retains the same appearance as when she moved in.

Su Jinzhou finally had some time alone with Jitang.

Ji Tang couldn't guess what Su Jinzhou was thinking. She caught Su Jinzhou off guard. It was obviously a decision made by both of them, but she just spoke on her own.

She interlocked her fingers with his and shook them tentatively, "Brother?"

Su Jinzhou's heart is still beating wildly.

He let go of Jitang's hand.

Ji Tang was slightly stunned, and then Su Jinzhou lifted her cheek. She raised her head as he moved, and her face met Su Jinzhou's deep eyes.

"Senior Brother?"

Su Jinzhou moved closer to her and their lips touched.

Ji Tang shrank back as if he had been electrocuted, and then felt Su Jinzhou's firm grip.

He put one hand on the back of Jitang's head, not only not letting her go, but also pulling her closer to him.

Jitang's breathing quickened.

Su Jinzhou left her for a short while, and in her bewildered look, he said, "Open."

In this extremely short period of time, a hint of doubt flashed across Jitang's eyes.

Su Jinzhou was helpless and turned to ask her, "What did you call me just now?"

Ji Tang answered subconsciously: "Senior Brother."

With lips open, the boat will naturally capture the city.

Ji Tang's limbs trembled slightly as if they were electrified. She had no choice but to support Su Jinzhou. Her five fingers gradually closed together, wrinkling his black clothes.

The bedroom was dark and silent.

Ji Tang felt itchy and numb from being bitten by the other party, and his nose was filled with the hot breath he exhaled, mixed with the fragrance of spiritual tea.

She was a little tipsy and could also smell the mellow aroma of the strong wine she drank. The tea and wine kept intertwining, making her feel a little dizzy.

Jitang slid down and leaned his face against Su Jinzhou.

Su Jinzhou hugged her tightly, his eyes shining surprisingly brightly in the dark night, like a wild beast hiding in the darkness hunting. Now that the prey was in his arms, he felt a little hungry.

The prey could not see the beast's eyes, but could only feel his chest heaving violently up and down, and the arms around her back tightening.

Ji Tang was surrounded by heat, and the heat caused the strong liquor to spread even more strongly.

Ji Tang waited until his breathing became steady before speaking, "Brother, I acted on my own initiative."

"Yeah." Su Jinzhou responded, but in fact he didn't hear what she said at all.

He was torn between his conscience and his desires, and was extremely grateful that the black robe was made of high-quality material and was invulnerable to swords and guns, which could effectively hide his gaffe.

Jitang: "What do you think?"

Su Jinzhou wanted to carry her behind the bed curtains.

"Senior Brother?"

"Um."

Ji Tang sensed something was wrong, and she climbed up onto Su Jinzhou's clothes to look up.

She had adapted to the darkness and saw Su Jinzhou's eyes full of complex emotions - his undisguised desire was suppressed by the chains of forbearance and restraint.

When Ji Tang looked at her, he quickly looked away, feeling uneasy, as if he was worried that his overly blatant thoughts would scare her.

Ji Tang stared at those eyes in a trance.

That primitive and urgent look should have given people a sense of aggression, but because of his forbearance and restraint, the aggression was shackled, the wildness was suppressed, but there was still an undercurrent surging, full of tension.

She blinked and lowered her head.

She didn't dare to look. She believed in her senior brother, but she had no confidence in herself.

In the face of beauty, no, no... beauty can mislead people!

She had no choice but to straighten her expression and stand up straight silently. "Senior brother, what are you thinking about?" she asked knowingly.

Su Jinzhou finally regained some sense and asked, "What did you ask me just now?"

The two people had different thoughts, and although they reached the same destination through different paths, they both held back along the way.

Ji Tang: "I suddenly proposed the contract ceremony without discussing it with you in advance."

Su Jinzhou let go of Jitang without leaving a trace, then silently took a half step back before saying, "It was very sudden."

Ji Tang raised his eyes, "Brother, do you blame me?"

He noticed that her expression had a hint of shrewdness, and he felt amused, but he didn't show it. "You scared me."

Ji Tang: "The Immortal Master is too timid." She said this with a hint of meaning, but Su Jinzhou couldn't hear it.

Su Jinzhou walked to the table and lit the candle.

The room was lit up, and the two could see each other's subtle expressions more clearly, and naturally saw the new smiles in each other's eyes.

Jitang sat down and said, "Have some tea."

Su Jinzhou made tea for her.

Because she likes to drink, a set of high-quality tea sets is also prepared in the cave.

He knew exactly how much tea to put in and how hot the water should be.

Ji Tang held his chin and looked at him. Seeing that his movements were natural now and the undercurrent in his eyes was gone, he felt unhappy.

What, you calmed down after just a moment?

She tried in the warm light of the candle, "Brother, are my lips swollen?"

Su Jinzhou's hand holding the kettle shook, the teacup tilted out of the kettle mouth, and the hot water immediately spilled onto the table.

Jitang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Oh, it turns out it’s not about being calm and composed, but about disappearing into the dark.

She was happy with the answer and moved the teacup under the crooked spout of the pot.

Su Jinzhou then continued to pour tea. After he finished pouring the tea, he put down the teapot and waved his hand, and the water on the table disappeared completely.

"The contract-making ceremony has already been announced. I'm sure Master, Rao Jin, and the others will start preparing right away." Ji Tang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then continued, "Once something is said, it's like spilled water. Brother, you have to marry now, whether you want to or not."

Su Jinzhou was almost amused by her. Was she the leader of some village? So overbearing.

Thinking of this, he followed her words and asked, "Marry into the Nightmare Clan?"

Ji Tang's eyes curved into crescents with joy, "Marry Jiu Ming Yuan."

*

Ji Tang's words made Liu Wushu and Rao Jin very busy.

If the covenant ceremony was held in Suxuan Sect or the Nightmare Clan, they would have been more confident in their preparations, but they actually decided to hold it in Jiumingyuan.

What does Jiu Mingyuan look like now?

There is no grass growing, the land is everywhere wasteland, the gate of Jiuming Tower is dilapidated, and there is a huge pit blasted by thunder when Jitang was undergoing the tribulation!

Looking around, it's a desolate scene with broken walls and ruins. How can a grand ceremony of covenant be held here?

Before preparing for the covenant ceremony, their top priority is to rebuild the Nine Nether Abyss.

The master of Jiu Mingyuan became a hands-off boss and went straight to Qingmang Yanyue Mountain with his two senior brothers, Huanmang and Huanyue.

There is still some time before the Spring Flower Banquet ends, and Jitang will definitely not show up every day.

The Dragon Lord is still suffering from the ice marrow poison. As long as the poison is not cured, the Dragon Lord will not be able to wake up. The longer the time is delayed, the greater the damage to the Dragon Lord.

They flew into the Dragon Lord's cave on their swords.

The Dragon Lord was well taken care of, lying quietly on the ice bed. If it weren't for his extremely pale face, he would have looked like he was asleep.

Jitang took out the extremely cold plant.

As soon as this immortal plant appeared, a raging cold air instantly filled the cave, and the cave walls were immediately covered with a layer of ice crystals.

Even though they had high levels of cultivation, they were still shivering from the cold.

They all summoned their spiritual powers to protect their bodies and carefully observed the immortal plants.

Ji Tang quickly used his nightmare energy to wrap the extremely cold plant tightly, and the cold air stopped spreading outwards.

She got used to it the first time, picked a spherical pistil, put the extremely cold plant back into the storage ring, and nodded to Huan Mang.

Huan Mang gently helped Long Zhu up, let her lean on him, and nervously watched Ji Tang's movements.

Jitang put the pistil into the Dragon Lord's mouth.

She said, "The pistil will turn into spiritual liquid and flow down once it enters your mouth, so don't worry."

"Okay." Huan Mang had complete faith in Ji Tang. He hugged his mother, feeling the bone-chilling coldness from her body, and his heart ached.

Ji Tang lowered his eyes slightly, "Remove the ice bed. Once the ice marrow poison is cured, it won't be needed anymore. Replace it with something more comfortable for my stepmother."

Huanyue walked away, "I'll arrange it right away."

Huan Mang simply picked up the Dragon Lord and asked, "When will mother wake up?"

Ji Tang was also unsure. "My stepmother has been poisoned for too long. Even if she is cured, she will need to recuperate for some time. But as long as she no longer suffers from the icy marrow, it is only a matter of time before she wakes up. After that, let Doctor Dragon take good care of her."

Huanmang looked outside the cave anxiously, "Why hasn't the Dragon Doctor arrived yet?!"

Ji Tang knew he was anxious, "My stepmother is feeling cold, I remember there is a spiritual hot spring in the mountains, why don't you take her there first, I will go find the dragon doctor."

Huanmang agreed immediately and went out in a hurry.

Ji Tang also turned around and left. As soon as she came out of the cave, she saw Su Jinzhou summoning his flying sword and reaching out to her.

Ji Tang laughed and said, "If I always take the Suzhou boat from now on, what will happen to Ji Yao?"

Ji Yao was floating in the air beside Ji Tang, and after she finished speaking, she even touched Su Jinzhou.

Su Jinzhou raised his hand and patted it, trying to comfort it. "Let it go with Su Zhouzhou, but it won't take you."

Ji Yao also obeyed and quickly flew to Su Zhouzhou's side, with the two flying swords standing side by side.

The tassels floating at the end of the hilt are one moon white and one hibiscus purple. The tassels are intertwined, looking quite intimate.

Jitang glanced at his senior brother silently.

Su Jinzhou took Jitang's hand and pulled her onto the flying sword.

They brought the dragon doctor to the mountain hot springs, and the dragon doctor quickly completed the treatment for the Dragon Lord.

"The Dragon Lord has been in a coma for too long. His body has been severely depleted, and his spiritual power has dissipated a lot. If he wants to recover to his peak, he needs to recuperate slowly. We can't rush it."

Huanmang: "Time is not a problem, just focus on taking good care of your mother!"

The dragon doctor bowed, "Don't worry, young clan leader."

That night, Jitang and Su Jinzhou stayed on the mountain.

Huan Mang personally arranged caves for them. He deliberately placed their caves on the left and right of the main peak, far apart.

Several people knew the truth, but no one brought it up openly.

Jitang moved into the cave and found that it was arranged to be warm and comfortable, and it was obvious that it was carefully decorated.

She performed the body cleansing technique and went to bed to rest.

The night deepens.

With Huanmang's order, the dragons who hid during the day and came out at night would not approach the cave where Jitang was, so as not to disturb her rest.

At this moment, a figure flashed outside the cave, which should have been empty.

The figure moved very lightly, like a breeze passing by, easily blowing into the spiritual wall condensed by the cave and slipping in.

Ji Tang opened his eyes as the figure appeared in the cave, and the sleepiness in his eyes was replaced by sharpness.

"It's me." Su Jinzhou approached the bed.

When Ji Tang realized it was him, his fierceness immediately disappeared, and only a smile remained in his eyes.

"Brother, when did you learn how to climb walls?"

Su Jinzhou sat on the floor, his back resting on the edge of the bed. "Tonight."

A soft laugh echoed from the quiet cave.

Su Jinzhou's hand was already placed on the edge of the bed, palm facing up.

Jitang stretched out his hand from the thin quilt and put it in his hand.

Shake hands.

Su Jinzhou's fingertips gently rubbed the back of Jitang's hand.

"Brother is very energetic at this time, you are not afraid of him checking on you."

Su Jinzhou frowned slightly, and when he thought of Huan Mang, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his eyes.

Jitang wanted to laugh when he saw his expression.

Not to mention how old she and her senior brother are, they have to be called "ancestor" wherever they go, but they have to be restricted and disciplined by their elders like young men and women, and even have to meet them in secret.

Is Su Jinzhou afraid of Huan Mang? It's almost the same if the two of them switch places.

The reason why he allowed Huanmang to make arrangements was because he knew that Huanmang cherished Jitang.

He sneaked into the cave late at night just to see her, so he would not overstep the boundaries.

Huan Mang knew what Ji Tang meant to him. All the difficulties Huan Mang was in were just because his brother couldn't bear to part with his sister and wanted to make things difficult for him. He just had to bear it.

As for when Huan Mang would finally agree, he wasn't in a hurry. He could wait for hundreds of years, or even longer.

Jitang is by his side now, and being with him is the most important thing.
