Chapter 174 Something Big Happened
Jiang Jiu could tell that Chi Li's words were full of ill intentions, and he shuddered secretly, but he still gave himself courage and tried to pretend to be calm.
"No need for rewards, I care about the world."
Ji Chen looked at Jiang Jiu's stubborn look, rubbed his temples helplessly, and was so angry that he laughed.
"Are you proud?"
Chi Li's gaze was like a knife, and Jiang Jiu was instantly pierced like a hedgehog.
"Hmm... a little bit... a little bit."
Jiang Jiu didn't know whether to follow Xiao Nianzhong's wishes or what, and felt anxious.
"Junior sister, if anything happens to you, I will accompany you."
Yun Shuili raised his head, his eyes were empty, which scared Jiang Jiu. When combined with what he said, Jiang Jiu almost jumped up from the ground.
"No! Even if I die, you have to live well!"
Jiang Jiu's mind was full of Yun Shuili's absolute forbidden thoughts. She would eventually die or leave this world. If Yun Shuili was so irrational, she would have to bear the responsibility of another life.
[I will die sooner or later, so please don't commit suicide.]
“…”
As soon as she finished saying this, she immediately felt the atmosphere in the hall drop to freezing point. Even the lazy Chi Li stood up straight. Foxes are most sensitive to emotions and can sense how much of what Jiang Jiu said was sincere.
"What do you mean?"
Long Xuan took a step forward and rushed in front of Jiang Jiu, hugged Jiang Jiu's shoulders, and asked with a look of grievance on his face.
“…It’s meaningless.”
Jiang Jiu panicked.
"I'm just afraid you won't be rational."
Jiang Jiu really regretted it. He should have known not to be so stressed.
At this moment, Jiang Jiu met Ji Chen's eyes through the gap of Long Xuan's shoulders. Her eyes were filled with indescribable emotions. There was no doubt that Ji Chen probably heard her thoughts.
Suddenly, Jiang Jiu's head was filled with the message "It's over, it's over".
"Master....please listen to me."
Jiang Jiu curled the corners of his mouth. The person who should be coaxed the most now must be Ji Chen.
“…”
However, Ji Chen just looked at Jiang Jiu deeply, turned around and left the side hall directly, with sadness in his back.
Watching Ji Chen leave, the others also realized something.
Looking at Jiang Jiu's obviously abnormal reaction, a certain guess was directly confirmed.
The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point, and Jiang Jiu vaguely felt like the world was falling.
"You guys...listen to my explanation, don't misunderstand..."
Jiang Jiu pulled the corners of her mouth and tried to continue struggling, but even Yun Shuili, who relied on her the most, just glanced at her, lowered his head and left the side hall.
Like a chain reaction, everyone finally left the side hall, leaving Jiang Jiu alone standing there.
The wind blew through Jiang Jiu's hair through the crack in the door, making him feel inexplicably desolate.
"...Well... not judging me should be considered a good thing...right?"
Jiang Jiu originally thought that he would have to go through some things like making promises, admitting his mistakes, etc. before he could get through today's incident smoothly. Who knew that such a situation would suddenly happen.
I don't have to face their anger.
Ginger wine can only comfort myself in this way.
...
From that day on, Jiang Jiu felt that her world had suddenly become strange. There was nothing that needed her help every day. She heard from them that after the space rift was closed, the six realms had returned to their previous peace.
The first generation never appeared again, and the inner demon had been silent for some reason, and his head suddenly became very quiet.
Although living in Zixia Palace, Jiang Jiu hasn't seen Ji Chen much recently.
When they met occasionally, Ji Chen would just lower his eyes and look at her from afar, then turn and leave without saying much to her.
The same goes for other people, they rarely appear in front of her.
If she hadn't been sharp enough to catch their occasional fleeting figures, Jiang Jiu would have suspected that they never wanted to see her again.
The crisis was resolved, the world was at peace, and it seemed that she no longer needed to make any sacrifices, and the Heavenly Dao never appeared again.
"It feels like... it's suddenly the end."
Jiang Jiu touched her chin and lay beside the bed bored. Only Xiao Lingying was with her every day.
“Master, you are so strange, isn’t this the peaceful life you like best?”
The little light floated in front of Jiang Jiu and looked at him with a confused expression, its tone very puzzled.
"Hmm... That's right..."
Jiang Jiu pursed his lips and buried his head in his hands.
"But I always feel that everything around me is unreal, like... like I'm dreaming."
Jiang Jiu described it this way.
"Master, please rest assured. I am familiar with all the illusions in the six realms and I will never let you be blinded."
Xiao Lingying comforted.
"I did not mean that."
Jiang Jiu sighed and stared blankly through the window at the peaceful and tranquil sky outside. The clouds in the Ninth Heaven looked much purer than those in the lower world. Just staring at them seemed to heal the soul.
"What is the master thinking?"
Xiao Lingying asked in confusion.
"nothing."
She couldn't describe the taste of ginger wine, so she shook her head and decided to go out for a walk.
As she walked out of the corner of Zixia Heavenly Palace, she bumped into several fairy servants.
When the immortal servants saw Jiang Jiu, they all knelt down and saluted.
"Meet Fairy Qingyuan."
Jiang Jiu was waving his hand and was about to wake them up when a moon-white figure just happened to enter his sight and stood at the corner of the corridor. He could faintly hear the sound of Buddhist beads colliding.
"Buddha...Buddha Jiang."
Jiang Jiu showed a look of joy and just opened his mouth to call his name, but Fo Jiang looked up at Jiang Jiu indifferently, then nodded to indicate that he had met him, and left without stopping.
He didn't even want to get close to Jiang Jiu or say a word.
Jiang Jiu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and after a while it dropped down awkwardly.
"Forget it, I'm going to die."
She comforted herself in her heart that perhaps their attitude was just right, and when the day came when she was really sacrificed, she wouldn't have to be so sad.
She was still a little uncomfortable being treated like this all of a sudden.
"You guys get up."
Jiang Jiu just remembered the immortal servant who was still bowing to her, and a hint of apology could not help but appear in her voice.
She didn't plan to hide it anymore, so she decided to just throw out the truth without having to fight for anyone's feelings.
All we can say is that she didn't take the initiative to say that she would make a sacrifice, so it didn't count as a violation of the agreement with the Heavenly Dao.
But Chi Li is so smart, he must have guessed something, right?
Jiang Jiu thought about it and suddenly felt a little relieved.
If she completely disappoints them now, when that day finally comes, maybe she won't have to think so painfully about separation. After all, it's just... going home, no big deal.
