Qiao Qiu: What exactly is my gender?
Ji Rufeng: I also want to know what my gender is.
Qiao Qiu: Brother, do you want to question life?
Ji Rufeng: I'm already questioning it.....
For example, if the wind moves in a place for a moment and then changes slightly, that slight difference is enough for him to discern the difference.
The one who remained was even more skilled, not only dodging his attack but also remaining remarkably calm.
He's a formidable opponent, but unfortunately, without the curse, no matter how powerful he is, he's no match for him.
Ji Rufeng turned around, and the sword in his hand flew out.
The moment they were discovered, the gods hiding in the shadows dodged without a second thought.
She dodged the attack, but in doing so, she revealed her location.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the ring sprinkled revealing powder all over her body, stroking his chin, "This is an absolute beauty, Ji Rufeng, can you bear to do this to her?"
Indeed, this woman was incredibly charming, with a face like a peach blossom, especially her eyes, which were so beautiful and captivating that when she looked at someone, she could almost steal their soul.
Ji Rufeng raised an eyebrow slightly, looked at the ring, and smiled, "But I don't find her as pleasing to the eye as you."
"Tch~" The ring rolled its eyes at him. "Don't talk like you've got your eye on me, Ji Rufeng, this isn't over!"
"I've taken a liking to you," Ji Rufeng said sincerely.
The ring seemed to remember something, and gritted its teeth, saying, "I don't even want you!"
"Sigh, are you kidding me? You acknowledge my relationship with Qiuqiu and even recognized her as your mother. By all accounts, you're my son, just the difference between a godson and a biological son. But don't worry, I'll treat you like my own son." Ji Rufeng laughed as he kept stepping on landmines with the ring.
Hearing their conversation, the beauty's expression grew even colder.
She was a recognized beauty in public and often received advances from men. But today, she was rebuffed by these two men, one big and one small, and felt rather disappointed.
Ring's face turned green, but he had no words to refute it. Everything Ji Rufeng said was reasonable. Apart from being unwilling, he really had no point in arguing.
"Are you really not going to reconsider?" Ji Rufeng said gently, moving his finger slightly.
The beauty was still debating whether to attack when she suddenly noticed a golden light, and then she knew nothing more.
Ji Rufeng sighed softly, "So, how exactly did they die?"
The beauty turned to dust, and Ji Rufeng's sword had long been taken away by him. What truly killed that beauty was just a needle.
"Qiuqiu, what do you need to do?" Ji Rufeng stepped into the ring's barrier. Although their Li Liang had not merged, they were of the same origin, so the ring's barrier was useless to Ji Rufeng.
Qiao Qiu waved her hand over the teapot, revealing three people lying inside: Dong Yu, Luo Lan, and Dong Yuan.
“We have to deal with the three of them. It’s awkward for us to keep them around. Sending them away is the best option, but there’s no doubt that someone will take advantage of them again.”
"Master, what do you want to do? Just tell me, and I will definitely do it for you," the ring said.
Qiao Qiu hadn't expected that she would be tricked out even though there was a protective barrier last time. This time, sending her away would be far too easy, just like last time.
Ji Rufeng kept looking at Qiao Qiu, knowing that she definitely wouldn't have the heart to hurt them.
If you don't want to hurt others, you can only hurt yourself.
But he wouldn't just stand by and watch the latter outcome happen.
"Let's leave them here for now," Ji Rufeng said.
"You agree to leave them behind?" Qiao Qiu asked, somewhat surprised.
Ji Rufeng smiled and said, "Since sending them away makes you so uncomfortable, why not let them stay? That way you can rest assured, and everyone can feel at ease."
“But if we leave them behind, watching all this all day long…” Qiao Qiu felt this was a difficult thing to explain.
“Now that you’ve become a demon god, you’re an enemy of the gods in heaven no matter what. Dong Yu may not know this, but Roland certainly does. As long as you stick to this, everything else will be fine,” Ji Rufeng said.
Qiao Qiu thought for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense, let's do it your way."
"Okay, let them out," Ji Rufeng said.
"Okay." Qiao Qiu waved again, and the three of them came out.
Roland looked around and saw that everything had calmed down. She grabbed Qiao Qiu's arm and asked anxiously, "Big sister, what exactly happened?"
“The facts are just as you see them,” Qiao Qiu sighed.
"But, but..." Roland was conflicted and anxious, but he didn't know how to tell her.
"Seventh Sister, I know you're kind and can't bear to see such cruel things, but can you bear to watch me die?" Qiao Qiu asked.
"No!" Roland's voice rose several decibels, instinctively objecting. "Big sister, isn't it enough to just drive them away?"
“Even if I let them go, they might not be able to let themselves go.” Qiao Qiu said, “Those who value their lives have already run away. Those who come are all fearless. They will do anything to take our lives. Seventh Sister, when will you understand that being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself?”
Roland closed her eyes sadly. She didn't want to see her eldest sister become like this, but her sister was right. Back when they were being hunted down by the Heavenly Court time and time again, didn't she spare everyone's lives?
But every single one of the gods she spared wanted her dead. While she was still hesitating about whether to intervene, her eldest sister stood in front of her and did what she, in her weakness, dared not do.
Now that her elder sister has been forced into this situation, what right does she have to say such things about her? All of this is because of her.
The eldest sister is doing the right thing. She must put away that pathetic compassion and face up to what the eldest sister is about to do.
Roland opened his eyes and looked at her, a smile spreading across his face. "Big sister, do whatever you want to do. I support you."
Qiao Qiu laughed and patted her, "This is my good sister. You can't go anywhere else now, so stay here for now."
Roland looked at Dong Yu, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Dong Yu nodded; they couldn't go out and cause any more trouble for their eldest sister.
Roland happily jumped into Qiao Qiu's arms.
Qiao Qiu chuckled and hugged her back.
The ring looked up at her, then stuffed the thing in its hand into Dong Yuan's chubby little hand. "Little cousin, I'll take good care of you from now on."
"Ah... Ee-ee... Hey..." Dong Yuan spoke in a baby language that adults couldn't understand, and then he grinned and laughed.
The ring stroked his little head, sensing that he was indeed in a happy state, and also squinted its eyes and smiled.
Little cousin, don't blame me. Who told you to have the constitution to cultivate immortality? I have to keep a close eye on you and be ready to suppress your tendency to cultivate immortality at any time.
Children are probably more sensitive to the people around them; his smile immediately stopped, and he even looked embarrassed.
