Nine Lives, Nine Worlds of Tribulation

Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.

Chapter 10 A Love Story with a Slap

The ugly demon woman turned to look at Qian Mo and said, "My name is Cang Yue. Would you be willing to marry me and become a member of my demon clan?"

"What?!" Qianmo's mouth gaped open, completely dumbfounded.

All she did was slap this girl, so why is she suddenly being pressured into marriage?!

"There's a rule in the Demon Clan: if an adult woman is slapped in the face, she must become his wife, regardless of wealth, life or death, or gender, and stay by his side for life." At this moment, Gu Liyan walked in leisurely, looking at Qian Mo with a smile.

"Huh? You're not kidding, are you?!" Qianmo shuddered in fright. The first two were acceptable to most people, but what was this next one, regardless of gender?! She was a beautiful young woman, and you wanted her to marry an ugly monster?!

The world is so big, she wants to meet more beautiful older sisters!

Qianmo now wishes he could slap himself. Why did he have to slap someone's face for no reason?

I just had an urge to slap that face because I couldn't stand it, and who knew it would end like this!

Qianmo wore a bitter expression, looking utterly dejected.

Gu Liyan chuckled mischievously. Even he hadn't expected that Qianmo would use slapping as a means of attack on the battlefield. What was she thinking, slapping another girl's face?

Hearing this, Rui Xin, not wanting to miss out on the fun, stepped forward, patted Qian Mo on the shoulder, and said, "Congratulations, Qian Mo! I wish you a healthy baby soon!"

Qianmo's lips twitched: Give birth to your sister! How are we supposed to have children if we're all women?! And besides, I don't want to marry an ugly woman!

Seeing Qianmo's tearful expression, Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile. He walked up to Cangyue and said, "According to the rules of the Celestial Clan, you must marry into the Celestial Clan. Therefore, you must obey your future husband!"

Cang Yue glanced at the handsome Qian Mo and nodded. "Sure, as long as the Celestial Clan is willing to coexist with my Demon Clan, anything is negotiable!"

"That's absolutely impossible!" Before Gu Liyan could say anything, Tianxuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to speak coldly.

Cang Yue squinted at Tian Xuan, and feeling his power, she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Tianxuan had single-handedly killed many of her demons, and his words made her somewhat nervous and uneasy. Even so, Cangyue still spoke up, "If we can coexist, there's no need for us to continue fighting. Why not? We don't want to see such sacrifices!"

"The demons are all hypocrites. Your so-called coexistence is just about assimilating us into demons, isn't it?" Tianxuan sneered. "Your behavior is truly despicable and outrageous!"

"What did you say?!" Cang Yue glared angrily at Tian Xuan.

Qianmo hurriedly grabbed Cangyue, "Um, don't be angry, let's talk this over."

Seeing Qianmo speak, Cangyue nodded obediently.

"Qianmo! You need to understand your place!" Tianxuan was furious. His daughter was actually trying to plead for the demons in various ways. It was outrageous!

"Father, if we can avoid war, why not listen to their demands? Perhaps we will learn more about the rules of survival!" Qianmo hurriedly argued.

Snap—

Everyone stared at Tianxuan in astonishment. Qianmo paused, then subconsciously touched her cheek. The pain was intense, burning, and she didn't react for a moment.

"How can you be a candidate for the Heavenly Clan's Four Domains Supreme Emperor after saying such a thing!"

Tian Xuan trembled with anger. Qian Mo was different from the other children. Her talent was not only in spiritual power. She had potential energy that even Rui Xin could not match. She was the only candidate to inherit the throne of Tian Xuan!

Qian Mo kept her head down, so Gu Liyan couldn't see her expression, but it was precisely because of this that Gu Liyan felt something was increasingly wrong—

Qianmo trembled and suddenly raised his head. His eyes were icy cold, and a colorless, empty silver light flashed across them!

"Oh no! The second soul within her has awakened!" Rui Xin exclaimed, immediately pulling Gu Liyan back.

Gu Liyan felt a chill creep over her, a chill that pierced straight to her soul.

"How could this be?!" Gu Liyan, who possessed the Xuanbing Body, was actually afraid of this coldness, which greatly surprised her.

Tianxuan coldly looked at Qianmo and said, "Qianmo, look! This is your fate! Only battle is your destiny! You must accept the mission of protecting the Celestial Clan and driving out the Demon Clan!"

Cang Yue and the other demons were all prostrate on the ground, trembling with fear at the chill emanating from Qian Mo.

The demon race fears nothing more than a realm beyond their capacity. The reason they retreated from Thousand Absolute Mountain was because Gu Liyan emerged from seclusion and used his Xuanbing Body to create a Xuanbing Domain spanning tens of thousands of miles, which forced them to retreat.

The vacant look in Qianmo's eyes suddenly softened, and when he came to his senses, the silvery, deathly gaze had dissipated.

"So that's how it is..." Qianmo suddenly pointed at Tianxuan's blood-red eyes and scolded, "The Flower Goddess I loved was killed by you. You were afraid that I would awaken my Soul Burial Awakening, so you sealed my memories of her!"

Qianmo trembled all over, "And Luo Zichen and Yin Yang who disobeyed orders..."

Tianxuan said coldly, "Qianmo, you need to know that nothing is more important than the victory of the war. Their small sacrifices were all for the victory of this battle!"

"Sacrifice? You make it sound so righteous, but what does it matter?" Qianmo rebuked. "We can never go back, don't you know that? Mother died because of your sacrifice plan, right? Hua Shiman is dead too, Luo Zichen is imprisoned in the abyss, and Yin Yang Jue Wang has gone to the Sea of ​​Death. They will never come back! Because of you, because of you... they will never come back! Is such a sacrifice really meaningful!"

The bloodstains on the ground were a stark and unsettling sight. Gu Liyan felt a deep sense of sympathy; the peace bought with sacrifice was both unforgettable and hard to accept.

Gu Liyan looked at Qian Mo, wondering how painful it must have been for his memories to be sealed away until the day they were recalled.

Qianmo walked up to Cangyue and carefully helped her up. "I'm sorry, are you alright?"

Cang Yue looked at Qian Mo with a wronged expression, then hugged Qian Mo in her arms, looking like a little bird clinging to her.

Surprisingly, Qianmo did not refuse. Instead, she took Cangyue's fair hand, turned to Gu Liyan and the others, and said, "Since you cannot make the decision, let me make it! I will bear the consequences of coexistence alone!"

Everyone was stunned and had no time to stop them. Qianmo took Cangyue's hand and left gracefully, and the group of demons who had attacked Xuantian Pavilion also left with them.

Gu Liyan's gaze swept over Tian Xuan, only to see his gloomy face and his clenched fists, unsure of how to vent his anger.

For some reason, seeing Qian Mo leave, Gu Liyan felt a sense of relief.

Perhaps coexistence isn't so bad?
