Chapter 178: Is this the Immortal Lord’s arrangement?
"It's okay, I'll just wait alone."
Jiang Jiu shook her head. Perhaps it was because Long Xuan hadn't seen her for a long time, so he was unusually clingy during this period.
Xiao Nianzhong was so angry that he was on the verge of exploding every day.
"But....."
Long Xuan wanted to say something but stopped himself. He felt a chill rising from his back. A sharp gaze was staring at him from behind.
"Stop it."
Jiang Jiu rubbed her temples. She was anxiously waiting for news from Yu Zimo and had no energy to deal with the conflict between them.
"oh."
Long Xuan pursed his lips and said "Oh", and Xiao Nianzhong also became quiet instantly.
Both of them saw that Jiang Jiu was in a bad mood, so they didn't provoke her again.
The same thing happened to everyone else, and no one came to disturb Jiang Jiu's solitude.
Except for Chi Li.
He hasn't shown up these days. Although he is still at the Medicine King's residence, he has never come to see Jiang Jiu.
And Jiang Jiu never took the initiative to look for him for various reasons.
The atmosphere between the two was like that of friends who had just had a quarrel and were in a cold war. If it were any other time, Jiang Jiu would definitely rush to apologize and cheer Chi Li up.
But now, she also feels very tired.
Jiang Jiu thought, looking up at the sky with an empty mind. She was now Big Fat Orange (a weak version).
Suddenly, a shadow appeared behind Jiang Jiu, and then she smelled a strange fragrance.
Before Jiang Jiu could confirm where the smell came from, his vision became blurred.
"Owner!"
Xiao Lingying's anxious voice sounded, and Jiang Jiu felt dizzy and unable to answer Xiao Lingying.
Before she fainted, the last scene in her eyes was Yu Zimo opening the door and walking out, his expression filled with anger, running towards her quickly.
This was Jiang Jiu's last thought before he passed out.
She didn't expect Yu Zimo to have such an expression. She had never seen it in the game.
...
Before Jiang Jiu could fully wake up, she felt a hand pinching her chin tightly. The stinging sensation forced her to open her eyes.
"Is this the woman Sekirei is obsessed with?"
The man in front of her was half-kneeling in front of her, holding her chin with his hand. Although he looked unfamiliar, his face was handsome, and there was a hint of familiarity between his eyebrows.
A name suddenly flashed through Jiang Jiu’s mind, Ji Chen!
Yes, this person looks like Ji Chen!
"Not talking?"
The strange man raised his eyebrows slightly and turned Jiang Jiu's face back and forth as if he was teasing a little pet.
Only then did Jiang Jiu realize that her hands were hung in the air by two chains, her ankles were also locked, and she was forced to sit on the ground with her legs bent.
“…”
Being so close to a strange man, a man who gave such a strong sense of oppression, Jiang Jiu's social anxiety came back. He was speechless and could only stare at him mercilessly with a stiff face.
It wasn't that she wanted to meet this man's gaze, but she had no choice.
Her chin was still pinched.
Ji Ling saw that Jiang Jiu had no reaction, no fear, and just looked at him coldly, as if he didn't care about being imprisoned at all, and didn't even take him seriously.
The pleasure of catching the person disappeared in an instant, and his face became ugly and gloomy.
Then Ji Ling thought about it and took out what he thought was his trump card, the temptation of becoming the Fairy Queen. I'm afraid that no woman in the entire Six Realms... no, even men can't refuse it.
"I am the Immortal Lord. If you follow me, the position of Immortal Queen will be yours. How do you do it?"
After Ji Ling finished speaking, the air became eerily quiet.
As time passed, Ji Ling's expression became uglier and uglier.
He thought he had used his trump card, but he didn't expect Jiang Jiu to still not care. Even his expression didn't change. He just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at a clown.
“…”
In fact, when Ji Ling said this, Jiang Jiu broke out in a cold sweat. It was not because he was frightened by Ji Ling's aura or identity, but mainly because he was PTSD because of Yu Zimo.
She vaguely remembered Yu Zimo saying the same thing to her, that tone...
It is true that men remain silent when they hear this, while women cry.
Jiang Jiu and Ji Ling just stared at each other. Ji Ling was too embarrassed to continue talking, while Jiang Jiu was just a pure social phobia sufferer.
Finally, Ji Ling flicked his sleeves and strode away, leaving Jiang Jiu with an angry back.
“…”
After Jiang Jiu woke up, he watched Ji Ling perform a big drama alone, and his brain didn't even react to what happened.
This person left in anger?
Just left?
Is this the Immortal Lord’s arrangement?
Jiang Jiu was puzzled, but she didn't really say it out loud. After all, she didn't know where this place was.
Ji Ling is an immortal after all. It would be embarrassing if he heard it.
Thanks to Ji Ling's departure, Jiang Jiu finally recovered from his social anxiety and was able to devote his attention to observing where she was.
A dim, empty hall filled with ancient sounds and atmosphere. The road leading to the hall was lined with statues of gods with different expressions. The door was tightly closed, and she was locked in the depths of the hall. Only her place was illuminated by the night pearl.
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Above her head, she could vaguely see the jade-like beams of the house with carved beams and painted buildings. The chain hanging on her wrist was tied to the beam.
Jiang Jiu lowered her head silently. She was now absolutely certain that this was not the world of cultivation.
Even though her meridians were sealed and she couldn't feel the presence of spiritual energy, she was very sure.
Jiang Jiu's eyes swept over the statues in the hall, which looked more and more weird. The fear in her heart continued to accumulate, and finally she couldn't help but speak.
“Is anyone there…?”
Jiang Jiu is indeed socially anxious, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t afraid of being alone!
She was the only one in such a large space, and it was pitch black all around. There were also a bunch of humanoid sculptures extending outward. She felt as if she had entered some horror dungeon.
Jiang Jiu's voice echoed in the empty temple, and then fell into silence.
No one could answer the question about ginger wine.
Because the temple where she is now imprisoned is located at the very edge of the entire Nine Heavens, no one knows where this ancient temple came from or who built it.
All the immortals in the world of gods know that this place is very evil. If you touch anything inside, you will be cursed.
Of course, if you follow the temple's rules, nothing will happen.
After Ji Ling discovered this secret, this temple became the place where Ji Ling did bad things.
And now, because of Jiang Jiu's special identity, he was imprisoned in this temple.
"Owner....."
Xiao Lingying's weak voice sounded in Jiang Jiu's head. Jiang Jiu, who was originally dejected, suddenly raised his head with a start.
"Xiao Lingying! You're still here!"
Jiang Jiu really wanted to cry, but luckily, Xiao Lingying was there with her.
