Ji Fu was not in good condition. Although he gained memories after merging with his original body, he still couldn't recall many fragments of those memories. Recently, he had been in a daze, and his dreams were filled with past memories, which had drained a lot of his energy.
Upon seeing Xie Shun today, he was filled with rage. Seeing Xie Shun's drastically changed expression, he felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
Upon exiting the special prison, Ji Fu's already pale skin was tinged with a vibrant red. All the pent-up desires and hatred of the past years had just been released, and under the intense emotional impact, Ji Fu's steps faltered slightly.
Gu Chun quickly stepped forward and grasped Ji Fu's arm. His hand was large, and his palm was warm, unlike his appearance.
How are you feeling?
Ji Fu smiled, his face still flushed with illness, but he felt an unprecedented sense of joy.
"It's alright."
As he said this, Ji Fu gripped Gu Chun's arm tightly. The touch from his palm was warm and powerful, as if it could give him some strength in this cold winter.
Gu Chun wanted to take him away from here, but Ji Fu stopped him. He looked up at the sun in the sky. It was winter, but the sun was so bright. The sunlight pierced through the layers of clouds and shone on the skin. It had lost its warmth, but it brought a sense of satisfaction to the soul.
"Let's go sit there."
Ji Fu pointed to the bench installed next to the solitary confinement cell, and Gu Chun followed him and sat down. The sunlight shone down on the two of them without any restraint, adding a thin layer of pale yellow gauze to them.
Ji Fu spoke slowly, his voice as clear as ever, but today it carried a heavier weight, "After I was captured, they wanted to make a pact with me."
He chuckled softly, as if mocking the group's overestimation of their abilities.
Gu Chun gripped Ji Fu's hand tightly.
"Of course it's impossible. Let alone the fact that I've already gained sentience and don't want to. Even if I hadn't been born, with their abilities, it would be absolutely impossible for them to form a contract with me."
Ji Fu's voice carried a hint of pride. His work was a masterpiece crafted by all the master craftsmen of that era. How could it be contracted by a few Nascent Soul cultivators? That would be underestimating him.
“At first, I sent several batches of people from the four major families to the Immortal Realm. At that time, I was still confused and couldn’t distinguish between good and bad things and people. I only knew to do things according to the requirements. Later, I gradually discovered that something was wrong. How could so many people sent there be related by blood? Heaven is fair and it is impossible for blessings to fall on one family.”
Gu Chun sensed the dejection in Ji Fu's tone. He looked up, the sunlight shining brightly. He gently patted Ji Fu's back, the perpetually coldness softening slightly. "This isn't your fault."
Ji Fu did not deny it. "Yes, it's not my fault."
Those who have made mistakes will be punished one by one; there is no need for him to impose his own mistakes on himself.
"I discovered the clues and naturally refused to help them anymore. The four major families were furious, but they couldn't really control me, so they had the idea of destroying what they couldn't have."
The four major families finally discovered that a sentient being had emerged inside the Yellow Sacred Bell. According to the records from the immortal realm, this should be a spirit that is extremely rare in the world.
It is certainly a joy when a magical artifact gives birth to a spirit, but when that spirit cannot be used by me, it becomes a burden and a hindrance.
The four major families drew a magic array determined to destroy this unruly spirit, but they were ultimately not skilled in magic. The array they drew could only damage the strength of Ji Fu's spiritual consciousness, but could not reach the root of the problem.
However, under constant confinement, Ji Fu found it difficult to communicate with the outside world, but he still remembered his mission to connect the two worlds.
Not long after his birth, Ji Fu broke through the confinement with great effort and selected two souls to send into the Immortal Realm, namely Chong Shan and Gu Chun.
Ji Fu chuckled as he said this, "I was the one who sent you there, but I also sent something unpleasant."
Gu Chun squeezed Ji Fu's hand, afraid that he would blame himself for what happened to Chongshan, "Don't you still have me?"
Ji Fu looked at Gu Chun. After returning, this person single-handedly eliminated all objections and established the alliance. As the alliance continued to expand, the entire cultivation circle became more vibrant than ever before.
"Yes, thank goodness I still have you."
Ji Fu sighed for a moment and continued, "After sending you two off, I fell into a deep sleep for a period of time. I don't know exactly how long I slept, so long that the four major families thought I had really been eliminated, and the power of the array on my body also decreased a lot. When I woke up, I found that the restraints had been reduced, so I immediately began to search again. This time I used almost all my strength and finally found two souls with excellent talents in the entire interface."
"Yes, it's Rong Hang and Jiang Yixing."
When talking about the two of them, Ji Fu's smile warmed up a bit, "I never expected that the two of them would be so destined to meet."
Gu Chun nodded, recalling the many cultivation techniques Jiang Yixing had provided for the modern world, "The person you chose is excellent."
Ji Fu smiled and said, "Yes."
-------------------
Jiang Yixing's new film has been renamed "Paradise," at He Mang's suggestion. He believes that the previous title did not fully capture the film's dramatic nature. The new title, "Paradise," creates a strong contrast between the title and the film's content. The scenes of a desolate country and widespread suffering contrast sharply with the extravagance of the palace, resulting in a highly ironic tone.
Jiang Yixing and Rong Hang had no objections to this, but He Mang's eyes twitched as she watched the two of them intertwining their hands as if no one else was around.
"By the way, could you guys tone it down a bit?"
Rong Hang glanced over indifferently, his eyes conveying the message that he had already been quite restrained.
He Mang snorted coldly, deciding to ignore Rong Hang. He was going to completely overturn his previous conclusion. Rong Hang was not a privileged young master with a good family background and high talent! He was simply a petty, cold, and terrifying wolf leader! He had completely claimed Jiang Yixing as his own territory and would not allow anyone to touch it. If anyone did, his scarlet eyes would stick to them, showing a kind of ambition and persistence that would not stop until he achieved his goal.
I don't know how Jiang Yixing could put up with it.
Looking again at Jiang Yixing, he saw that Jiang Yixing was smiling at He Mang with an extremely innocent expression, "I knew you would keep it a secret!"
They'll first flaunt their trust in you, making you feel a little proud, so you'll have no choice but to accept their dog-abusing behavior.
He Mang gritted her teeth, feeling like she was about to have her fill of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and waved her hand, "Alright, the movie is over, the wrap party is over, you two should go now."
