Chapter 189 What’s the use of relying on men!
As the time for the covenant ceremony drew closer, Jiang Jiu felt the air grow increasingly gloomy as he sat there.
Of course, it wasn't just Jiang Jiu. All the guests present knew that something big was going to happen soon, and they kept looking towards Ji Ling and Jiang Jiu.
Many people sighed privately.
"This Fairy Qingyuan is not an easy person to deal with. I don't think today's wedding will be able to go smoothly."
"Well, that's not the way to say it. I heard that Fairy Qingyuan has saved the day many times in the lower realm. Who knows, maybe she can do it this time too."
"Actually, I think you've noticed that the Fairy Queen doesn't seem very happy about it. She hasn't smiled since she appeared."
"Fairy Qingyuan is an icy beauty, so it's normal for her not to smile."
"But I always feel that it was the Immortal Lord who forced me..."
"Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense!"
As soon as this speculation came out, even if it was spread privately, many people were shocked and stopped gossiping.
Because when they looked at Fairy Qingyuan again with this assumption, she seemed really reluctant. In addition, the Immortal Lord was so anxious to hold the contract ceremony, the speculation became more and more certain in everyone's mind.
Time passed by minute by minute, and no one stepped into Zixia Fairy Palace again. As the time for the contract ceremony approached, Ji Ling seemed to be becoming more and more relaxed.
"What? The rest aren't coming?"
Ji Ling moved slowly and leisurely, drinking the fairy wine on the table, and sent a message to Jiang Jiu with interest.
Jiang Jiu didn't say anything and his movements didn't change, acting as if he didn't care.
Only she herself knows how alert she is now.
Ji Ling's current abnormal behavior made Jiang Jiu very sure that he definitely had a conspiracy against them.
Maybe they want to gather everyone together and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Jiang Jiu could only pray silently that the remaining idiots would not come to the wedding banquet like moths to a flame.
but....
Why is Ji Ling so confident that he can beat so many people? They are all the strongest and most advanced in their respective realms.
"It seems that I overestimated their love for you..."
Ji Ling's faint sigh sounded in Jiang Jiu's heart, and Jiang Jiu clenched her hands tighter and tighter. If she hadn't been completely exhausted, she would have slapped him in the face.
Social phobia or something doesn't matter, this guy is just too despicable.
"With all three Supreme Gods here, how can I be missing?"
When Chi Li's leisurely figure appeared, Jiang Jiu felt her heart sink. She thought Chi Li should be smart, but he was the most cunning old fox. Even if others couldn't see such an obvious Hongmen Banquet, he would still be able to do it.
Chi Li shouldn't be able to see it.
"The Nine-Tailed God is finally willing to show up?"
This time, Ji Ling actually stood up, looked down from the high platform, raised the wine in his glass, and saluted Chi Li from afar.
Show more respect than any other guest.
"Of course. How can I not show up at the Immortal Venerable's wedding? That would be disrespectful to the Immortal Venerable."
Chi Li got a glass of wine from somewhere and raised it to toast it and Ji Ling.
He didn't mention ginger wine at all during the whole process, as if he was really here to attend a wedding.
"Nine-tailed God is so modest that I am ashamed. In terms of strength, I am naturally not as good as the God, so how can I say I am disrespectful?"
Ji Ling showed a look of shame on his face and behaved very humbly, but as soon as he said this, two of the other three gods present immediately changed their expressions.
Only Qinglian was still eating the food prepared for the banquet with a smile on her face, as if she hadn't heard anything.
"No, no, no, the Immortal Venerable is the leader of the Nine Heavens. How dare I, a mere idler, compare myself to the Immortal Venerable?"
Chi Li spoke lazily, and started the business-like mutual flattery mode.
Jiang Jiu's teeth were about to ache as he listened to this. After all, she was a fox spirit who had lived for thousands of years, so her words were very powerful.
"Please take a seat, Nine-Tailed God!"
Ji Ling drank the wine in his cup and made a gesture of invitation.
Chi Li smiled and walked unsteadily to the table, sitting together with the other three gods. If anything happened next, Chi Li would probably be the first one to be besieged.
Jiang Jiu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Suddenly, Jiang Jiu felt a chill rising in his heart, and gradually, his whole heart seemed to be frozen.
Feeling unwell, Jiang Jiu subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, but suddenly a loud shout came from his mind.
"Don't move! It's the Five Phoenix Forbidden Lock!"
There was anger in the inner demon's voice, which made Jiang Jiu stunned for a moment.
"What's the meaning?"
She couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"This thing can lock up the spiritual power of everyone present, even the gods."
As the inner demon finished speaking, Jiang Jiu felt the chill in his heart gradually subside, and the inner demon also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect Ji Ling to be so scheming."
The inner demon said angrily.
"This thing is silent when used. It will only truly restrain power when he wants to activate it. I'm afraid everyone present here has already been affected."
"Even if someone behind can break through this force, they will probably be half-dead by then."
The inner demon's words hinted at something, and Jiang Jiu subconsciously focused his gaze on the surging waves on the horizon. If the waters of the Prison Sea flooded the Zixia Fairy Palace at that moment...
Ji Ling activated the lock, then...
Just thinking about it made Jiang Jiu break out in a cold sweat. In order to catch all the male protagonists in one fell swoop, he even spared his own men and innocent guests.
"But don't worry, I'm here to protect you. The life and death of others has nothing to do with me."
As the inner demon spoke, her tone became complacent again, as if she was waiting for Jiang Jiu to thank her gratefully.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiu remained silent, his mind full of thoughts about what Xiao Nianzhong and the others were going to do.
"You, you, you're such a loser! You're hopeless! You're so lovesick that you should be dragged out and chopped off!"
The inner demon sensed Jiang Jiu's emotions and broke down on the spot, hating the male protagonists even more.
"But they also saved me."
Jiang Jiu's tone was hesitant, but he still couldn't help but retort.
"What's the point of relying on men?! Only yourself can be relied upon!"
The inner demon said with a look of disappointment.
"...Okay, okay, I know you can be relied upon."
Jiang Jiu didn't want to argue with her inner demon. She had never thought of relying on paper people, but she just didn't want them to die in vain.
"Of course!"
The inner demon didn't hear any reluctance in Jiang Jiu's words, and was coaxed into being overjoyed on the spot.
"Master, I actually discovered that you were entangled in chains..."
Xiao Lingying's weak voice sounded, and the inner demon that was laughing wildly disappeared without a trace in an instant.
For a moment, Jiang Jiu felt embarrassed for the inner demon for two seconds.
