Chapter 115 Chapter 115 (Revised) Pei Zichen I like him so much...
Jiang Zhaoxue got up from the ground, put on his clothes and sat down at a desk. After taking out the jade token for voice transmission, he began to send a message to Ye Tianjiao.
Knowing it was Pei Zichen, she no longer had any reservations and spoke openly.
After a moment, Ye Tianjiao received her message and immediately said, "Sister! Did you succeed?!"
"without."
Jiang Zhaoxue said, sitting cross-legged on the ground, and told the truth: "It seems that he has created a fake clone."
Jiang Zhaoxue recalled today's events and confirmed, "He used that clone to trick me out of my medicine."
Ye Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, then he murmured, "Alright...alright. It's okay, I still have the medicine. Let's keep trying!"
"Aren't you worried about me?" Jiang Zhaoxue sneered. "I drugged Li Xiuji, and now I've been arrested. How come you're not worried at all that Li Xiuji might kill me?"
"Hey, don't worry," Ye Tianjiao said immediately, "He would rather commit suicide than kill you."
"Ye Tianjiao," Jiang Zhaoxue heard his tone and was sure that he knew everything. She gritted her teeth and said, "Is there something you haven't told me?"
"No...no." Ye Tianjiao said guiltily, "I've said everything I need to say."
"Okay, then let me ask you something," Jiang Zhaoxue said coldly, "Who is Li Xiuji?"
Ye Tianjiao did not respond.
Seeing him pretending to be dead, Jiang Zhaoxue shouted, "Tell me clearly, is Li Xiuji Pei Zichen?!"
"Oh," Ye Tianjiao said bluntly, seeing that he couldn't pretend anymore, "Since you asked me this, why don't you ask him?"
"If I could ask him, I would ask you!!" Jiang Zhaoxue said immediately, "Tell me clearly, is it true or not?"
Jiang Zhaoxue asked seriously. The other party fell silent. Jiang Zhaoxue pursed her lips and asked again: "Is he Pei Zichen?"
"Yes." Seeing her persistence, Ye Tianjiao knew that if he didn't respond, she would keep talking, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I said he is in the Nine Nether Realm..."
Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes flickered, and her eye sockets were sore. However, she clenched the sound transmission jade token tightly, and her voice was calm and without any ripples, she said: "Why is he here? Whose spirit is this? Why... is he behaving strangely, as if he doesn't fully remember me?"
"What exactly do you mean by weird?"
When Ye Tianjiao heard her say "romance novels are weird", he immediately spoke.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Jiang Zhaoxue reminded him, "Answer my first two questions first."
Ye Tianjiao listened, sighed, and said helplessly: "Sister, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but this matter involves the Nine Nether Realm. After all, I am considered a member of the Nine Nether Realm. If I say it, I am a traitor. If you really want to know, you should solve the problem of Pei Zichen and ask him in person."
Ye Tianjiao spoke sincerely, and Jiang Zhaoxue fell silent, knowing that what he said was right.
After a pause, she whispered, "Then how can I ask him?"
She thought about Pei Zichen's condition and frowned: "He's not talking to me at all now. He just had a fight with me and now he's gone. I don't know when he'll be back."
Thinking of the frustration just now, Jiang Zhaoxue couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved and pursed her lips and said, "He wasn't like this before."
"Don't blame him."
Ye Tianjiao sighed and reminded her, "Sister, the divine shell he's wearing belongs to Li Xiuji. I told you that Li Xiuji is a condensation of resentment and cannot bear beautiful things. That's why he gave me a pill that year to help him quickly condense the power of heaven and earth when he wakes up, so that he can have a space to store beautiful emotions and memories and regain his mind."
"But you didn't make it in time."
Jiang Zhaoxue recalled what Ye Tianjiao had said when he had coaxed him to come to the Nine Netherworld Realm, and pondered, "So, what you call Li Xiuji's awakening wasn't really awakening at all, but Pei Zichen's soul entering his divine shell. And because you didn't have time to get him to take the elixir, Pei Zichen entered a body that couldn't hold beautiful memories and emotions?"
"good."
Ye Tianjiao responded and said patiently: "Originally, when his soul and divine shell merged, and he didn't take the elixir, he would immediately become an evil creature. It just so happened that you were summoning his soul."
"What's going on?" Jiang Zhaoxue didn't understand.
"You repeatedly summoned his spirit, causing his soul to never fully merge with the divine shell. A bit of his beauty remained within the unfused soul, so he wasn't completely devoured and turned into an evil creature." Ye Tianjiao explained, sighing, "But he is still within the divine shell, suffering from the resentful energy of the divine shell day and night. If you don't find a solution sooner or later, he will completely merge with this divine shell and become the evil creature that Xin Luoyi has been waiting for."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, his heart sinking as he finally understood, "So you asked me to come to the Nine Netherworld Realm so that he could take the elixir that Li Xiuji gave you back then, so that he could enter the divine shell normally, instead of becoming an evil creature?"
“Uh…” Ye Tianjiao’s tone changed noticeably when he heard this, and he said guiltily, “I guess so…I guess so.”
"What do you mean by 'calculate'?" Jiang Zhaoxue reacted sharply and asked, "What went wrong with the pill?"
"That," Ye Tianjiao said guiltily when Jiang Zhaoxue questioned him, "It's not a big deal. It's just that the pill Li Xiuji gave me was a little fragile when I was being chased by Xinluoyi and running away."
"Did it melt?"
Jiang Zhaoxue instantly understood what the muddy substance in the first box that Ye Tianjiao opened was.
Ye Tianjiao smiled awkwardly.
Jiang Zhaoxue closed his eyes.
She suppressed the surging anger in her chest, forcing herself not to be angry at this time. However, she endured it again and again, but still couldn't help asking: "Ye Tianjiao, what have you been doing for the past thousand years?! Isn't it shameful that Xin Luoyi is chasing you to kill you with such a good talent?!"
"Sister, don't be angry," Ye Tianjiao retorted in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced. "Everything has a price. Who could live like her, where she is so devoted to cultivation from the moment she opens her eyes?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't made an excuse, but as soon as he did, Jiang Zhaoxue covered her chest and felt pain in it.
But she also knew that Ye Tianjiao was still in the mood to argue with her, and he must have other plans. She could only put aside her scolding for the time being and said through gritted teeth, "So, what did you give me when Li Xiuji's medicine is gone?"
"It's an auxiliary item to help him temper his strength and shape his divine core."
Ye Tianjiao sighed and said patiently, "Li Xiuji's elixir is actually his divine core. There are evil gods and true gods in the world. The difference between them lies in their different hearts for entering the Tao. Only those with a sufficiently persistent heart for the Tao can become the ultimate god, and the divine core is what is produced when the obsession is strong enough to carry such powerful mental power. Back then, Li Xiuji was worried that his divine core would be infected by resentment, so he kept it separate and sealed it in the elixir. Logically, after his return, the divine core will also return to his body, and the resentment will be suppressed by his divine core. Then he will naturally absorb the power of heaven and earth to purify the resentment in his divine shell. In time, he will have a normal divine shell. When the divine shell with the divine core merges with the □□, he can become a true god."
Ye Tianjiao said, gritting his teeth: “In the end, it was ruined by Silla Yi!”
"So, if Pei Zichen wants to completely merge with the divine shell now, he must regenerate the divine core. Only then can he avoid evil after the true fusion. Otherwise, he will either become an evil creature that loses his mind, or become an evil god that destroys the world."
Jiang Zhaoxue sat cross-legged and tapped his knees, understanding what Ye Tianjiao meant.
Ye Tianjiao nodded: "Yes, my medicine is to help him shape the divine core."
"Will he get the divine core if he eats it?!" Jiang Zhaoxue always felt that it was not that easy.
Ye Tianjiao denied it and said softly, "As for the Divine Core, it all comes down to whether he has enough power to form it. My medicine is just a supplementary function."
"Then where did he get such powerful strength all of a sudden?" Jiang Zhaoxue immediately realized the problem upon hearing this. "Even the resentful energy within his divine shell is so strong that it can't form a divine core. What power could allow him to possess a divine core?"
"Of all the power in this world, the fastest and strongest, don't they all come from the human heart?" Ye Tianjiao reminded slowly, "Resentment comes from the human heart, isn't love?"
These words stunned Jiang Zhaoxue, and she immediately realized Ye Tianjiao's true intention of asking her to come.
"Sister, don't you understand why Pei Zichen can still retain a part of his soul from being eroded by the resentful power and fused with the divine shell?" Ye Tianjiao saw her dullness and said helplessly, "Do you think your necromancy can recall the soul in the divine shell?"
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, her fingers curled slightly, and then she heard Ye Tianjiao say, "It's not your necromancy that keeps Pei Zichen kind-hearted, but his love for you."
"Then you..." Jiang Zhaoxue's heartbeat quickened. She didn't dare to speak for a moment, but then she had to speak out, "But love isn't the only thing in a person's life. If you let me do this, are you sure I can reshape his divine core for him?"
Ye Tianjiao didn't say anything. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you feel anything when he touches you?"
Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it and confirmed, "Yes."
"Can he tell by your scent?"
"Can."
"Can he tell what color clothes you are wearing?"
"Of course I can." Jiang Zhaoxue was a little confused. "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you notice that he has no five senses?"
Ye Tianjiao asked back, and Jiang Zhaoxue was stunned.
She reacted belatedly at that moment and listened to Ye Tianjiao's confirmation: "A spirit formed by resentment cannot perceive beautiful things, and the five senses are the source of all beautiful perceptions. The sounds he hears are transformed by power, and the things he sees are colorless. In his world, he can only see your color, can only truly hear your voice, can only feel your touch, can only smell your scent... Sister."
Ye Tianjiao was rarely serious: "Other people may have many lives, but Pei Zichen's world only has you."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, his heart pounding, but he remained silent.
In fact, she knew about Pei Zichen's friendship, but this was the first time she heard such a clear and detailed perception from someone else.
Ye Tianjiao also knew her temperament and understood that Pei Zichen would never tell her these things. He sighed and said, "Sister, I knew it very well when we were brothers. He didn't want to live at all back then, but he lived for you. When he was seventeen, he secretly hid a handkerchief from you. During the years you were away, he kept it carefully against his chest every day. One morning I saw him washing the handkerchief, and I went over to check on him, and he almost killed me with his sword. His love for you was never a spur-of-the-moment thing, but something he had kept in his heart for many years. Later, he gave you the five divine artifacts at the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion. His love for you..."
Ye Tianjiao was silent for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "If this still doesn't allow him to condense a divine core, then the only option left for him is to become an evil god."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, feeling bitter in her heart and tears in her eyes.
Thinking of the young Pei Zichen, she suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had let go of many things earlier and been more open-minded, perhaps...
But there are no maybes in life.
If she had not fallen in love with him and had not lost him, no matter how many times it happened, she would never give up the Tianji Lingyu and could not trust him.
"Then," Jiang Zhaoxue said in a dry voice, "what should I do?"
"I don't know either," Ye Tianjiao probed, "How much do you think he remembers about you now?"
"I don't know."
Jiang Zhaoxue frowned. "He seems to be very resistant to me now. Today..." Jiang Zhaoxue said with some difficulty, "He pressed me down and went crazy. He said he wanted to kill you all. He said if I taught him about sex, he would spare your lives..."
"So exciting?" Ye Tianjiao's tone was full of shock. After he said it, he realized what he had said. He quickly coughed lightly and whispered, "Go on."
After being interrupted by Ye Tianjiao so heartlessly, Jiang Zhaoxue's embarrassment disappeared, and she said numbly: "Then I took the initiative to kiss him, but he pushed me away and ran away."
"oh……"
As Ye Tianjiao listened, his desire to share instantly reached its highest point. He wished he could find Qingye Diewu Dielan or even Xinluoyi Shen Yuqing right now to share this explosive news with them.
They kissed.
They kissed!
Ye Tianjiao forced himself to remain calm and coughed lightly, "It seems that the part of his soul that retains is the ability to love you, but as for the memory, it may not be complete..."
"It's definitely not complete!" Jiang Zhaoxue thought about it and became a little angry. She couldn't help but say, "He thought it was his first time. He even asked me to teach him... Sigh."
"Well," Ye Tianjiao listened, scratched his face, and analyzed with some difficulty, "It's actually understandable."
"What do you mean by extenuating circumstances?" Jiang Zhaoxue didn't understand. "I don't think he's forgotten everything. What criteria does he use to forget things?"
"It's like this," Ye Tianjiao coughed lightly and tried to explain in an academic manner, "He doesn't remember good emotions. So, if he only remembers something when there are negative emotions, then he will only remember the negative emotions at that time. If he doesn't have any negative emotions about something, then he probably won't remember anything at all."
After these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.
After a moment, Anan concluded in shock: "So, Pei Zichen doesn't remember you sleeping together because of this process..."
As Anan spoke, he turned his head and met Jiang Zhaoxue's eyes.
It feels so good.
This sentence was not spoken out loud, but Jiang Zhaoxue already knew it.
She glared at Anan fiercely and cursed, "Shut up!"
"I haven't spoken yet." Anan said aggrievedly.
Jiang Zhaoxue ignored him and continued to ask, "So, what impact will his incomplete memory have now?"
"Then the resentment will only deepen." Ye Tianjiao said immediately, "A person's brain is constructed by his memories. In his memories, everyone is a bad person, so he will only think of the bad things. Will the resentment grow deeper? His own resentment is definitely the strongest force. Isn't it only a matter of time before it devours souls?"
"If he can remember..."
"If he can remember the past and feel love, then the love he generates will naturally be a very strong force."
Ye Tianjiao pondered and said, "Actually, since he has a soul carrying his love for you, he shouldn't forget it so easily. The reason why he forgot it so easily is probably because he gave up on it himself." Then, Ye Tianjiao asked curiously, "What's going on between you two? Why did he give up on this relationship on his own?"
Jiang Zhaoxue's heart sank when she heard this. She pursed her lips and said slowly, "I cast a soul-locking formation on him, hoping to take the five divine artifacts. Although I eventually discovered that he would die if he took the artifacts, I tried to force him to leave, but he still found out..."
"So that's why you married Shen Yuqing, and why he went to the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion and gave you the five divine artifacts to sever your marriage ties?"
Ye Tianjiao understood and took a deep breath: "I was wondering why he was so desperate. Fortunately, the artifact finally recognized its master..."
"What did you say?"
Jiang Zhaoxue asked sharply, and Ye Tianjiao shut up immediately, saying vaguely, "Well, so, in fact, he was not sure that you liked him, so he took the initiative to give up the feelings. Then your most urgent task is to prove your feelings to him..."
Ye Tianjiao said, slapping his leg and excitedly said, "Listen to me, go find him right now, hug him and kiss him, and say I love you a hundred times a day. He has to believe that you love him first, and be willing to fight for you in his heart, then we can talk about the future."
"Then what about his current brain?" Jiang Zhaoxue said uncertainly, "Can we trust him?"
"Believe it or not, he has you in his heart right now," Ye Tianjiao said immediately, "Don't worry about anything else for now. Let him think of something beautiful. The more beautiful the better. It would be best if he completely forgets about it!"
After hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue knew what Ye Tianjiao was talking about.
She fell silent.
Ye Tianjiao whispered: "I just made a suggestion..."
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, thought for a while, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I get it. It's just to coax a man."
Jiang Zhaoxue's mentality gradually improved, and she pursed her lips: "I'll try."
"You can definitely do it!" Seeing her mood improve, Ye Tianjiao immediately began to flatter her, "Sis, you are beautiful and speak sweetly, just coax him and he will be yours easily, right? Listen to me, even though he looks like a serious man, all men are the same! Go find him first, hug him and cry. If he doesn't respond after you've cried, tell him with tears in your eyes that you won't disturb him and you'll leave first. Then walk to the door, looking back every few steps, and when you look back at him, deliberately fall down..."
"alright."
Jiang Zhaoxue felt a headache when she heard him say that, so she quickly stopped him and said, "I'll figure it out myself, don't get involved."
"Okay." Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Ye Tianjiao didn't talk nonsense and just said, "Anyway, if you need anything, come to me. We have a deep brother-sister relationship and we will definitely be able to save Pei Zichen!"
Jiang Zhaoxue remained silent.
She looked down at the brocade pattern on the bed, thought for a long time, took a deep breath and said, "I know, go to sleep."
As she said that, she cut off the communication with Ye Tianjiao.
When the room quieted down, she sat alone in her original position. After a moment's rest, she lay down on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
Anan jumped over and asked curiously, "Master, aren't you going to look for Xiao Pei now?"
Jiang Zhaoxue glanced at her but didn't speak immediately. Anan tilted his head and said, "Sending a message would be fine."
Jiang Zhaoxue didn't say anything. She hesitated for a long time, turned over, and said carefully: "Anan."
"Um?"
"I was wondering..." Jiang Zhaoxue frowned, "Why did you suddenly appear?"
This startled Anan, who blinked, "Master, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I was just thinking about what Ye Tianjiao said," Jiang Zhaoxue pondered. "Pei Zichen was able to return to Li Xiuji's body. They all assumed this was 'awakening'. Li Xiuji even prepared medicine to condense the divine core when he awakened. In other words, all of this was planned by Li Xiuji long ago. And Pei Zichen's journey, from obtaining the Lingxiao Flower from the Wuyue Forest to obtain the Tianji Lingyu for Mu Jinyue, to obtaining the Tracing Light Mirror with the help of the demon cultivator in the Lingjian Immortal Pavilion, and even my helping him after I entered the Seventh Realm of Life Master and learned that this was a book... all of this was ultimately aimed at him obtaining the Five Divine Artifacts."
Jiang Zhaoxue pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask, "If everything was arranged by Li Xiuji, then is it really my ability to enter the seventh level of destiny master?"
Jiang Zhaoxue said, turning to look at Anan: "The way of heaven that you and I have observed, we think it is a book, is it really the truth we see, rather than what others have shown us?"
Anan was stunned by her question. He looked at Jiang Zhaoxue in shock and said bewilderedly, "So...so what?"
Anan didn't understand: "No matter how much he calculated, he's dead anyway, right?"
"Now," Jiang Zhaoxue lowered her eyes, her heart tightening slightly as she whispered, "Who's alive, Pei Zichen or Li Xiuji?"
Li Xiu Ji's soul reincarnated as Pei Zichen, and then the soul returned to Li Xiu Ji's body. So, who is this person, Pei Zichen or Li Xiu Ji?
Li Xiuji planned everything, perhaps even her helping Pei Zichen to obtain the five divine weapons was part of his plan.
Is this kind of person Pei Zichen?
She remained silent. Anan watched from the side. After hesitating for a long time, he whispered, "But Master, according to what you said, isn't Li Xiuji looking for a divine weapon?"
This made Jiang Zhaoxue stunned. Anan reminded her, "But Pei Zichen, I'll give you all the artifacts."
What Li Xiuji wanted was the artifact, but Pei Zichen chose to give it to him in the end.
They are souls who make completely different choices.
"And now this person, the artifact is in your possession, but he hasn't made any move on it, right?"
When Anan said this, Jiang Zhaoxue's heart started pounding.
Anan sighed and couldn't help but say, "Master, you just take everything too seriously, but sometimes, in many things in the world, you have to trust your intuition. Look, when he was wearing a mask, you felt that he looked like Pei Zichen. When his mask was broken, you never doubted his identity at all. Didn't you kiss him? If you really thought he was not Pei Zichen, how could you do such a thing? You have to trust your heart."
Anan jumped onto Jiang Zhaoxue's knees, raised his hand and placed it on Jiang Zhaoxue's chest, and said with a smile: "Things like feelings cannot be dealt with by the brain. Don't think about it now, just close your eyes and think carefully, if Pei Zichen stood in front of you without the face, how would you feel?"
Jiang Zhaoxue listened, lowered her eyes to look into Anan's dark eyes, and Anan encouraged her: "Think about it."
Jiang Zhaoxue looked at her, struggled for a moment, and slowly closed his eyes.
She tried hard to think about Pei Zichen, the feeling of being with him, the throbbing sensation when she touched him, the joy when she hugged him, and every touch of his on her body.
As the man before her evolved from a young boy to a demon king, she suddenly realized...
If it weren't for the familiar feeling deep in her body, she wouldn't have been so frivolous when she looked up at the young man on the lonely boat;
She would not allow the other man to carry him back while pretending to be drunk;
She wouldn't be aware of his late-night visits and her body would still react uncontrollably...
All the reservations she gave to that "Emperor" were due to her body's familiarity with Pei Zichen.
The moment she realized this, Jiang Zhaoxue felt her eyes sore. She looked at the back of the figure standing alone on the boat in front of her and finally confirmed it.
She found Pei Zichen.
"I want to save him."
Realizing this, Jiang Zhaoxue slowly opened his eyes and said firmly, "I want him to become a god."
"good!"
Anan sensed her emotions and immediately jumped onto her shoulders: "Master, come on, make him feel loved! Come on, while you're full of passion."
Anan flew to the desk, brought back a pen and paper, and spread them in front of Jiang Zhaoxue: "Write a love letter and let him feel your sincerity!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoxue and Anan looked at each other in bewilderment and couldn't help but ask, "What...what does this say?"
“Just write about how you’re really feeling at this moment.”
Anan said seriously, "Sincerity is what moves people."
Jiang Zhaoxue thought for a moment, took a deep breath, picked up the pen, and poured out his heartfelt affection into a concise, passionate, and loving love letter. Then he held it to his fingertips and whispered, "Heaven has called—"
She pursed her lips and smiled: "Send the message, Pei Zichen."
As he spoke, the letter disappeared.
When she wrote the letter, Pei Zichen was interrogating Shen Yuqing in prison.
Jiang Zhaoxue and the disciple named "Ye Chen" started communicating with each other as soon as he left the house, without any reservation, as if they were treating him as dead.
He felt their voice transmission and sat in the dark, watching Zhou Shan interrogate Shen Yuqing.
Zhou Shan didn't know Shen Yuqing well, and he interrogated her about a bunch of random things. Pei Zichen felt a headache listening to him. He was already irritable, and after a long while, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He raised his hand to let Zhou Shan go, and whispered, "Let me do it."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Yuqing raised his eyes sharply.
He knew there was someone there, but he could never see his face clearly. When he heard the other person speak, Zhou Shan hesitated for a moment and retreated respectfully.
Pei Zichen and Shen Yuqing were the only two left in the prison. The only light was on Shen Yuqing. Shen Yuqing looked at the man who had deliberately hidden in the shadows and said coldly, "It has come to this. Why are you playing tricks on me? Why not show yourself and have a conversation? I will kill you or chop you up, it's all up to you."
Hearing this, Pei Zichen couldn't help but laugh and whispered, "Chen Xianjun is truly a man of steel, truly admirable. But I'm really curious," Pei Zichen looked at the young man in blood-stained clothes in the light, a little puzzled, "How did Chen Xianjun's cultivation level fall to this point?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuqing confirmed the other party's identity in his heart and said coldly, "Is the Emperor trying to humiliate me by this matter?"
"Just asking questions."
Pei Zichen's tone was indifferent. Thinking of Shen Yuqing's thoughts, he said nonchalantly: "How about this, I don't want to embarrass Shen Xianjun. I can answer what Shen Xianjun wants to know most, and Shen Xianjun will also answer what I want to know. How about it?"
Shen Yuqing fell silent. After thinking for a long time, he took the initiative to speak: "What do you want to do to Jiang Zhaoxue?"
Hearing this, Pei Zichen looked up coldly.
He found it funny for a moment and curled his lips sarcastically, but he asked in return: "What do you think I will do?"
"There are countless women in this world," Shen Yuqing heard, and recalled the look in the man's eyes when he caught up with Jiang Zhaoxue. He knew that look very well, and he could see the man's feelings for Jiang Zhaoxue at a glance. He forced himself to suppress his emotions and said respectfully, "There are many people who admire the Emperor. Why does the Emperor force them?"
"You're forcing me to do something?" Pei Zichen sneered. "Why, does Lord Chen think that I'm keeping Lord Jiang because I want to keep him as my own, as a forbidden delicacy?"
Shen Yuqing's face turned pale, and he immediately said, "Emperor..."
"Don't say I don't have such thoughts," Pei Zichen interrupted him, annoyed by their mutual concern. He said impatiently, "Even if I do, who are you? Is it your turn to care?"
"Your Majesty, this is wrong," Shen Yuqing pursed her lips and said, "Even though we are not husband and wife, I have promised... Immortal Master Jiang that I will protect her for the rest of her life, no matter what."
"That's not your turn!"
Pei Zichen listened to him speak, raised his hand to his forehead, his breath became anxious, and he felt murderous intent boiling. He just wanted to end this conversation quickly. He restrained his emotions and said, "I don't plan to do anything to her. Trapping her in the Nine Nether Realm is also to save her life. If you really want to protect her, then answer this question truthfully."
This made Shen Yuqing stunned, and he couldn't help but ask: "What's the problem?"
"Is the Book of Destiny still in the Spirit Sword Immortal Pavilion?"
Pei Zichen spoke directly, and Shen Yuqing's expression changed slightly.
Pei Zichen saw his expression and understood the answer. He continued to ask, "It's still there. Where exactly is it?"
"I don't know what the Emperor is asking." Shen Yuqing said coldly.
Pei Zichen was too lazy to say more to him. He suppressed his murderous intent and stood up, rubbing his head and said, "If you don't know, think about it slowly, but I tell you, the Book of Destiny is watching Jiang Zhaoxue."
These words made Shen Yuqing look stern.
Pei Zichen turned to look at him from the shadows and reminded him, "The only destiny master who is free from the control of the Book of Destiny, and the only one in the world who can truly end it. What do you think the Book of Destiny will do to a ninth-level destiny master? Shen Yuqing," Pei Zichen said in a low voice, "if you really want to protect her, think about what you should do."
Pei Zichen turned and walked out. After a few steps, Shen Yuqing suddenly said, "Emperor, I haven't finished what I want to say."
“Silla Yi is Mu Jinyue.”
Pei Zichen spoke directly, obviously knowing what Shen Yuqing wanted to ask, and said coldly: "She has been an undercover agent of the Nine Nether Realm from the beginning. What else do you want to ask?"
The person behind him didn't say anything. Pei Zichen was impatient to leave, but just as he took a step, he heard Shen Yuqing whisper, "That's not what I was talking about."
This surprised Pei Zichen. Turning around, he saw Shen Yuqing kneeling on the ground. She said wearily, "I want to tell the Emperor that Jiang Nuxian is a very good person. When she likes someone, she loves them wholeheartedly. Now that she has someone in her heart, you can't force her. If you really like her, you can't force her. You can only wait."
"What are you waiting for?" Pei Zichen mocked him as a protest, "Waiting for your sweetheart to die?"
Shen Yuqing was stunned when he heard this, and seemed a little dazed.
After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not her sweetheart anymore."
Pei Zichen was puzzled by this and frowned. Then he saw Shen Yuqing raise his head, staring into the void, and said with difficulty, "The person she likes is my disciple, his name is Pei Zichen."
Pei Zichen stood there in a daze, listening to Shen Yuqing muttering, "Pei Zichen is dead. She killed my master. There's no chance for her and me. Emperor, just wait a little longer." Shen Yuqing raised his eyes and said solemnly, "There will be a time when the clouds will clear and the sun will shine."
Pei Zichen didn't say anything, he stared at the person trapped in the formation.
He realized that Shen Yuqing was saying these things to dissuade him in a tactful way, fearing that he was really a "devil" and would use force to hurt Jiang Zhaoxue.
For this reason, he brought up "Pei Zichen", talked about Jiang Zhaoxue's temperament, and advised him to "wait", all in order to make him treat Jiang Zhaoxue better.
But he said he didn't know any of this and had never heard of it.
He didn't know that it was Jiang Zhaoxue who killed Gu Jun, nor did he know that Jiang Zhaoxue and Shen Yuqing separated.
He stared at Shen Yuqing, trying to force himself not to ask, telling himself that this was all a trap.
This might be a trap set for him by Shen Yuqing and Jiang Zhaoxue.
However, at this moment, he couldn't help but continue to ask: "Why did she kill your master?"
"She wanted to avenge Pei Zichen." Shen Yuqing thought of that day and smiled bitterly. "She wanted to kill all the murderers who besieged Pei Zichen and forced all the disciples who participated in the besieging of Pei Zichen to cut off an arm. That day, she became the enemy of the entire immortal path and almost destroyed it."
"Then she's done."
"Yes." Shen Yuqing smiled bitterly, "But by then, she probably didn't even want to live anymore."
"Is Pei Zichen so important?"
Shen Yuqing did not answer this question. Pei Zichen studied his expression. Shen Yuqing seemed to be patient for a moment before advising: "Emperor, Jiang Zhaoxue is like quicksand. If you force it, you will not be able to catch anything. But if you can wait, and she is willing, what she can give is all she has."
Pei Zichen listened without saying anything.
Shen Yuqing waited for a long time, but when the other party didn't respond, he looked up and saw that the room was pitch black.
Pei Zichen walked out of the cell, looking dazed.
He felt that he shouldn't believe Shen Yuqing's words. Which of Shen Yuqing's words sounded true?
He just wanted to deceive him, and deceive him together with Jiang Zhaoxue.
He was walking alone on the corridor, feeling the light falling on his shoulders and the cold night wind blowing. He suddenly felt the spiritual power around him vibrate, and then he heard a sound tearing through space.
"Heaven has called, deliver the message, Pei Zichen."
The moment the voice fell, a letter suddenly jumped out from space, instantly turned into golden words, and appeared in front of Pei Zichen.
These words bounced and danced, and the moment they appeared, they began to read aloud: "Pei Zichen, I know you definitely don't want to listen, so I decided to read it to you. There is something wrong with your current spirit body. It is condensed with resentment and cannot carry beautiful memories, but our past was much better than you remember! I love you more than you think and like you more than you think. When I think of you being alive, I especially want to say these words to you——"
As she spoke, the golden words disappeared, and on the next page, Pei Zichen heard a woman's voice, repeating over and over in the night:
I like you I like you I like you
I like you I like you I like you
I like you I like you I like you
I like you I like you I like you
I like you I like you I like you
…
Pei Zichen, I like you so much!!!
Pei Zichen didn't say anything, he just looked at the golden words quietly.
After a long time, he stretched out his hand, and the golden words rushed into his fingertips.
Then he turned around and walked out of the Demon Palace.
He came to Baishi Pavilion, which was specially entrusted by Cangdu to handle affairs, and randomly picked up a young man.
"Do me a favor."
He stretched out his hand and took out the top-grade magic crystal.
This is the currency circulating in the Nine Netherworld. The other party was stunned when he saw the magic crystal and quickly said, "Sir, please give your orders."
"I'll send one of you to the True Fairyland to help me figure out what the Penglai Lady, the current leader of the Fairy Alliance, Jiang Zhaoxue, did after the death of Pei Zichen, a disciple of the Spirit Sword Fairy Pavilion."
