In his previous life, Nan Gongjing suffered a tragic betrayal and, despite being rescued, still met a miserable end. Now, returning to the eve of his awakening, he vows to make those who harmed him...

Chapter 176: Untitled
Nangong Jing recounted the scenes in his dream one by one, and said at the end.
"According to the scene in my dream, you must have absorbed too much evil energy, so that even the Heaven-Slaying Battle Art couldn't dissolve it. In the end, you had no choice but to enter the cycle of reincarnation again."
"So we were a couple in our previous life."
Compared to his own evil spirit, Xuanyuan Xingyao cared more about the fact that he and Nangong Jing were a couple in their previous life.
Nangong Jing didn't expect that after he said so much, Xuanyuan Xingyao only remembered this.
Nangong Jing didn't know whether he should be angry or feel sweet.
"I've said so much, and this is all you hear."
Seeing Nangong Jing looking angry, Xuanyuan Xingyao couldn't help but move over and give him a kiss, with a more serious look on his face.
"I heard every word you said. Don't worry, I won't let myself end up like in my previous life."
Xuanyuan Xingyao has not recovered his memories of his previous life, so he doesn't know what happened in his previous life.
But from Nangong Jing's dream, Xuanyuan Xingyao could feel the despair of Nangong Jing in his previous life.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was unwilling to let Nangong Jing fall into despair again after experiencing despair once.
Moreover, Xuanyuan Xingyao could not guarantee that he and Nangong Jing would be so lucky to meet each other again and fall in love with each other again every time.
I don’t know if it was Nangong Jing’s words that stimulated him, but that night Xuanyuan Xingyao actually dreamed of some memories of his past life, just like Nangong Jing.
Moreover, Xuanyuan Xingyao's dream was more comprehensive than Nangong Jing's. In the dream, Xuanyuan Xingyao knew that he and Nangong Jing were both born as gods.
One of them is the god of war who is in charge of battle, and the other is the god of beasts who controls magical beasts.
The two of them, the God of Time, and several other gods who were born with similar powers were close friends. They grew up together and guarded the divine realm together.
But they are not the only ones in the divine realm. There are also many who have ascended from other worlds, and there are even some monsters that specialize in absorbing the cultivation of others to improve themselves.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao woke up, he happened to dream of a great war in the divine realm. In the dream, Xuanyuan Xingyao was leading his friends and subordinates to fight against those monsters and some outsiders.
The originally peaceful and beautiful divine world turned into a sea of blood, with red everywhere.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao woke up, he could still smell the strong smell of blood at the tip of his nose, which made him unable to calm down for a long time.
Xuanyuan Xingyao did not hide his dream.
After listening to Xuanyuan Xingyao's story, although the two had not yet completely awakened their memories of their past lives, they were still able to roughly understand everything about their past lives.
In their previous life, they were childhood sweethearts, born and raised together, and finally fell in love smoothly.
It’s just that a war broke out in the divine realm, and this war lasted for a long time. After it was finally calmed down, the divine realm was already covered by the evil spirit generated by the war.
Not everyone can absorb evil energy, and evil energy can be very corrosive to people's hearts.
For the safety of the divine world, Xuanyuan Xingyao in his previous life had no choice but to absorb all the evil spirits.
In the end, the evil energy was too heavy to be resolved, so he had to choose to enter reincarnation, using reincarnation again and again to consume the evil energy, and finally to this life.
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing didn't know that although what they guessed was not the whole truth of their previous life, it was almost the same.
What surprised Nangong Jing the most was his identity in his previous life, the Beast God. No wonder so many magical beasts liked him and were attracted to him in this life.
"Brother, why are you here? Hurry up and get some tea."
After Nangong Tao went to the border, Nangong Jing lived completely in the palace, and his contact with the Duke's Palace became much less.
Nangong Mu saw Nangong Jing wearing casual clothes, looking relaxed, and his manner when giving orders to the servants was very natural. The servants were also very respectful to him. It was obvious that he was the one who could call the shots in the palace.
"I have a day off today, so I thought I'd come and see you. It seems like you're doing well in the palace."
"Brother, let me tell you the truth. Compared to the Duke's Mansion, I feel more at ease here."
Nangong Jing gestured for Nangong Mu to sit down, then he picked a chair at random and sat down, saying with a chuckle.
If Nangong Mu didn't quite understand it before, then after almost dying and having his brothers involved, he could now understand Nangong Jing's words very well.
Nangong Mu didn't know what he was thinking about, and said with some self-mockery.
"I never imagined before that now I have to be very careful even when drinking water or eating, fearing that someone might poison me again."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Jing knew that Nangong Mu must have encountered something again, and asked with concern.
"Brother, what happened?"
"It's okay, I just encountered poisoning a few times recently, but I was lucky enough to avoid it."
Nangong Mu said lightly.
“Or did they do it???”
Nangong Mu said it lightly, but how could Nangong Jing not hear the thrill in it?
"I can't find out, but my mother replaced all the servants in the mansion. Speaking of which, Yunsheng is really my benefactor. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that the food was poisoned."
Nangong Mu knew that his food was poisoned when he had dinner with Yue Zhuo Yunsheng by chance, and Zhuo Yunsheng noticed something was wrong.
Nangong Mu only then realized that someone had put a chronic poison in the food. It would be fine at first, but over time his body would begin to weaken and eventually he would die miserably.
“Can’t find out???”
Nangong Jing asked back with a hint of surprise.
Let’s not talk about anything else about Zhong Yumei, but her methods in the harem are beyond words. Nangong Mu’s food was drugged, and she couldn’t even find out who did it???
"After my mother learned that I was poisoned, she quickly found the person who did it, but she was a step too late and the person was already dead. She had no choice but to replace a group of people in the mansion, especially those around me."
But even so, it is still difficult to guard against.
Nangong Mu didn't know whether to say that the person behind the scenes was too clever or that he hated himself too much.
Every now and then, some unknown drugs would appear in the meals. If Zhuo Yunsheng had not been able to detect them with light magic, Nangong Mu would have no idea how many times he had been poisoned.
But because of this, Nangong Mu can't leave Zhuo Yunsheng anymore, and has to eat with Zhuo Yunsheng every time.
This made Nangong Mu feel very embarrassed, as he had clearly just wanted to treat him to a meal to express his gratitude.
As a result, he tied the person up to his side. Nangong Mu also thought that he should be more careful and not trouble Zhuo Yunsheng.
But Nangong Mu didn't go to find anyone, Zhuo Yunsheng came to him first, which made Nangong Mu even more embarrassed.
"Brother, have you ever thought about giving someone a taste of their own medicine?"
Nangong Jing said meaningfully to Nangong Mu.
Nangong Mu had basically no idea about conspiracies and intrigues.
Therefore, after Nangong Jing said this, he didn't react at first. It was not until he met Nangong Jing's meaningful eyes that Nangong Mu realized what he meant.
Nangong Mu is not a saint either. Nangong Dao has wanted to kill him many times, so Nangong Mu naturally does not completely hate him.
But after all, they were brothers, and Nangong Mu was reluctant to let him kill Nangong Dao.
Nangong Jing knew that Nangong Mude had a strong sense of morality, so he was not disappointed when he saw that he couldn't make up his mind, but just said.
"Brother, unless he gives up the idea of competing with you for the heir, the two of you are doomed to fight to the death. Moreover, now that he has taken refuge with the Second Prince, even if he wants to give up, the Second Prince will not let him do so."
What Nangong Jing didn't say explicitly was that this was no longer a struggle between Nangong Dao and Nangong Mu, but a war between Xuanyuan Leng and Xuanyuan Qing.
Although Nangong Mu is easily soft-hearted, he is the successor taught by Nangong Tao after all, and he can be ruthless when necessary.
"I see."
Nangong Mu's eyes gradually changed from confusion to determination, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
It was a rare opportunity for Nangong Mu to come to the palace, so Nangong Jing naturally couldn't let him leave without even having a meal.
Thinking that they hadn't gotten together for a long time, Nangong Jing directly asked someone to call Feng Xuanzhou, Zhuo Yunsheng, and even Tianze to get together at noon.
Therefore, when Xuanyuan Xingyao came back from court, before he even got close, he heard several people having a lively discussion in the room, among which Feng Xuanzhou's voice was the loudest.
"Xuan Zhou, if you go to the Monster Forest, remember to keep your voice down, otherwise I'm worried that all the monsters within a hundred miles will be attracted by you."
As soon as Xuanyuan Xingyao appeared, he started teasing Feng Xuanzhou.
Feng Xuanzhou saw Xuanyuan Xingyao coming back and was about to greet him with a smile, but then he heard Xuanyuan Xingyao's "sarcasm" and his face immediately drooped.
She even deliberately avoided looking at Xuanyuan Xingyao, as if to say, "If you don't coax me, I will ignore you."
If it were someone else, they might coax him, but Xuanyuan Xingyao said that from childhood to adulthood, apart from Nangong Jing, he had never coaxed even his father, so it was impossible for him to coax others.
When Feng Xuanzhou saw that Xuanyuan Xingyao had ridiculed him, instead of trying to comfort him, he went up to Nangong Jing and started talking to him affectionately, feeding him a face full of dog food.
Feng Xuanzhou felt even more heartbroken. What should he do?
Feng Xuanzhou deliberately held his heart and looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao with a sad and shocked face, and the words "you are a heartless man" were almost written on his face.
When everyone saw Feng Xuanzhou like this, they couldn't help but hold their stomachs and burst into laughter.
Even Yu Tianze lost his usual noble demeanor and laughed loudly, slamming the table.
Sure enough, wherever Feng Xuanzhou is, there is always laughter.
After dinner, a group of people started sparring in the martial arts training ground of the palace.
Nangong Jing and Zhuo Yunsheng had a direct duel. This was the first time the two had faced each other since the mainland college competition.
Since the last competition, Zhuo Yunsheng has been practicing hard, hoping to defeat Nangong Jing and avenge his previous defeat.
What a pity, he practiced hard and Nangong Jing never slacked off.
In addition, after Nangong Jing changed his cultivation method from his previous life, his cultivation improved rapidly.
If Nangong Jing hadn't been worried about arousing suspicion by advancing too quickly, he would have summoned his seventh magical beast long ago.
Therefore, the final outcome of the competition was Zhuo Yunsheng's failure.
The duel between Zhuo Yunsheng and Nangong Jing made the other people's blood boil, and they all took turns to fight.
The ending is a mixed bag of winners and losers. When it was completely dark and everyone had to leave, the expression of "I'm not satisfied" was still written on everyone's face.
