Chapter 62: I still want to be with my master before setting off for the Source of Nothingness...

The river crossing is a galaxy within the source of non-delusion, and the water of the river crossing is the crystallization of the power of the entire river crossing. It is like the blood of a person's heart, just a few drops, and it takes a lot of effort to obtain the water of the river crossing.

The water for crossing the river is located at the bottom of the river, but reaching the bottom is no easy feat. After all, the water in the river is corrosive; even a single drop of it will cause skin to rot rapidly. Therefore, despite its preciousness, no one has ever managed to obtain the water for crossing the river.

Jiang Yuemian was also having a headache this time. If there were other methods, she could try her best. She wasn't made of copper or iron. Even if she were, she would be corroded by the water in the river.

Sigh, but no matter how unwilling or difficult it is, she has to go.

So, she still had to go back to the demon realm first. She didn't really want Ah Que to go. For some reason, she felt that this time was different from the previous two, which made her uneasy.

Having made up her mind, Jiang Yuemian touched the face of Shen Que, who was fast asleep. Even though he was lying down, there was not a single bit of excess fat on Shen Que's face, and the perfect jawline was just right. Jiang Yuemian touched Shen Que's jawline again, and Shen Que finally woke up.

The first thing Shen Que saw when he opened his eyes was that he was not fully awake yet. He only knew instinctively that his lover was in front of him, so he nuzzled Jiang Yuemian's face with his head in a coquettish manner.

Then, she buried her head in Jiang Yuemian's chest.

"Master...I like you so much." Her voice was a little hoarse from just waking up, and also a little soft.

Alright, Jiang Yuemian decided to hold her Ah Que and sleep a little longer; Ah Que was so soft.

She kissed Shen Que on the cheek, then continued to hold him as they slept.

When the sun was high in the sky, Jiang Yuemian and Shen Que finally woke up. She opened her sleepy eyes, hugged Shen Que and kissed him, then smiled and got up with him.

Today is the day they bid farewell to Shang Yi. After all, things here are settled, and it's time to go back and visit.

As for Liwen Palace, Jiang Yuemian has no plans to go back yet. After all, she has a lot of things to do, and no one can predict whether she will survive in the end. So, she can't give people hope only to give them despair.

It's fine if only these people know. As for the senior brother and the others, Jiang Yuemian narrowed her eyes, "I'll see them soon."

Although Shang Yi was reluctant to part with Jiang Yuemian, he still let her go.

Shen Que and Jiang Yuemian returned to the Demon Realm and, after a day of using the teleportation array, arrived at the border between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm.

The two headed straight for the Demon Palace. Along the way, some demons recognized them and bowed respectfully, even though they were far away. This showed how high the Demon Lord's status was in the demon realm.

The two hurriedly returned to their bedchamber. Jiang Yuemian was already exhausted and started to feel lazy. She cast a cleansing spell on herself and lay down on the bed, still wanting to be affectionate with Shen Que as she lay there.

Jiang Yuemian patted the spot next to her in a mock manner: "A-Que, come here quickly."

Shen Que obediently lay down, facing Jiang Yuemian with his beautiful face and giving her a doting smile.

Jiang Yuemian subtly tugged at Chen Que's collar, her hand, which usually held a sword, now lightly teasing him, making his heart pound.

Just as the two were getting into the mood and their lips were about to touch, a sound came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Lord Rat requests an audience."

Shen Que frowned: "Let him wait!"

Jiang Yuemian laughed. Ah Que still had this look of loving beauty more than power. She liked it very much and leaned forward, wanting to kiss those lips that made her heart flutter.

"Your Majesty, Lord Rat says he has something extremely urgent!"

Both of them were stunned. Then, Shen Que sighed and coaxed, "Master, I'll be right back. Master, wait for me."

He then kissed Jiang Yuemian's lips and stood up.

Jiang Yuemian didn't think anything of it. Of course, A-Que should handle important matters. However, she'd need to appease A-Que when he returned, otherwise...

Jiang Yuemian's lips curved into a beautiful smile.

Just then, she heard the footsteps that had just gone out return, seemingly approaching her. Jiang Yuemian looked up in surprise.

"Ah Que, why are you back again?" Shen Que was already standing by the bed.

After that, Jiang Yuemian did not hear Shen Que's reply, but could only feel Shen Que's warm, wet kiss on her lips. Jiang Yuemian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and went to meet him.

After their lips parted, Shen Que stood up and said, "I still want to kiss my master before going."

Jiang Yuemian laughed: "Good~ Now that we've kissed, A-Que can go in peace."

Shen Que walked away blushing.

After Shen Que left, Jiang Yuemian got bored and called 001 to chat. After a while, she got sleepy and fell asleep with her eyelids drooping.

The yin-yang wood at her waist lit up without her noticing, but neither she nor 001 noticed.

Jiang Yuemian slept very soundly. When she woke up, she saw that Chen Que had returned from the meeting. He quietly moved a chair, sat on it, and watched her for an unknown amount of time.

"When did you get back?"

Jiang Yuemian thought that A Que really loved her to death; he could actually just stand there watching her sleep! So adorable! How could there be such an adorable man!

"Not long after, seeing that Master was sleeping soundly, I stayed here for a while." He wasn't lying; he really had just returned and saw that his Master was already asleep.

While sleeping, it would mumble something under its breath, which was so adorable that I couldn't resist watching it for a while longer.

"Hmm...what do you need me for?"

Shen Que then said seriously, "There has been turmoil in the southern part of the demon realm. Lord Rat's cultivation is not high enough, so only I can go."

So the turmoil in the demon realm must be quite significant. If they don't care, it's just an uprising. Otherwise, why would they need a dignified demon lord like him?

Jiang Yuemian asked again, "When will A-Que leave?"

"I'll be leaving soon, but I wanted to see my master before I left."

When Shen Que said this, his eyes were incredibly soft. He looked at Jiang Yuemian as if he wanted to imprint her deeply in his mind, and wished he could carry her with him.

But that was impossible. How could his master go to such a filthy place? Besides, his master had worked hard all day and deserved to rest.

At this moment, Shen Que had long forgotten that he had also been traveling all day; his heart was only filled with thoughts of his beloved.

"Master, wait for me to come back." When I come back, I will tell you what's on my mind.

"Okay." Jiang Yuemian didn't know why Shen Que was suddenly so serious, but she still answered "okay."

He felt that Ah Que seemed to have a little secret, but it didn't matter.

Jiang Yuemian waved goodbye to Shen Que with a smile. Shen Que gave Jiang Yuemian one last heavy look before turning and leaving, his figure resolute.

After he left, Jiang Yuemian lay rotting on the bed again.

"001, tell me, how do we get the water to cross the river?"

001 didn't know either, so she didn't reply. Fortunately, Jiang Yuemian didn't really want to know; she was just muttering to herself.

“001, don’t you think Ah Que is great? Actually, I never told him what I needed these things for, but Ah Que didn’t ask a single question and just went with me.”

Jiang Yuemian was talking about collecting materials for refining weapons.

“That’s right, Shen Que is a qualified boyfriend.” 001 had to affirm Shen Que this time, because even in later generations it would be difficult to find a man like Shen Que.

He's obedient, good-looking, and charming. Most importantly, he loves his girlfriend very much.

001 felt that she, as a member of her family, had unknowingly stopped objecting to Shen Que and Mianmian being together, and seeing Mianmian happy was actually quite good.

“Mianmian, I also have a little secret to keep from you, but I can’t tell you yet.”

I don't know how to tell Mianmian. Sigh, without realizing it, it and Mianmian have become very good family.

The thought that it might not be able to see Mianmian again made it a little sad.

"Oh? You're hiding something from me too?" Jiang Yuemian was a little surprised, then suddenly sat up in bed, grabbed 001's mushroom head, and tried to see what it was hiding.

001 struggled to shake its short legs, but found it couldn't escape Jiang Yuemian's grasp, so it gave up.

"Oh right, but I'll tell you when we go to the Source of Nothingness: I'll keep watch by myself for a while!"

001's eyes darted away when he said this, which didn't seem like a good thing.

Well, Jiang Yuemian felt that 001 hadn't done anything wrong; she had her own little secrets too.

Let's not talk about each other.

However, recalling the scene she had just experienced while sleeping, she felt that she didn't want Ah Que to accompany him to the Source of Innocence.

She couldn't bear to put Ah Que in danger.

Suddenly, she remembered that Ah Que had gone down to deal with the rebellion. Hmm... should she take this opportunity to go herself?

As soon as she had this idea, she thought it was a great idea. It would keep Ah Que out of danger and allow her to use her skills. Maybe by the time she returned with the water to cross the river, Ah Que wouldn't have even found out that she had gone there secretly.

After all, it takes time to quell a rebellion, doesn't it?

Right? Right?

Haha, she's so smart!

It's settled then! She wants to give Ah Que a surprise!

"001! We're setting off now to the Source of Nothingness to fetch the water for crossing the river!"

"What?! Mianmian! You're not waiting for Chen Que?"

The most taboo thing between couples is misunderstanding. If Mianmian goes alone, in Shen Que's eyes, that means she has abandoned him.

If Shen Que returns and finds Mianmian missing, then he...

001 thinks Shen Que would go crazy, right? He already regretted it once more than 500 years ago; this situation can't happen again!

Mianmian! Wake up!

Jiang Yuemian was determined. She gave 001 two choices: either come with her or lock it in a dark room until they got the water to cross the river.

Which one can we choose? Of course, we can only go together!

However, it had its own ulterior motives; it felt it could notify Chen Que.

Seeing that 001 had given in, Jiang Yuemian quickly packed her bags to go to the Source of No Delusion and then secretly climbed over the back wall of the Demon Palace.

001: "......" That's enough, it knows.
