Chapter 191 You Die Before Me
Jiang Jiu heard this from Bai Ze. She had never thought that Ji Chen intended to use himself to save her life. However, if that was the case, Jiang Jiu would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life and would never be able to let it go.
It's just an exchange.
It will be more sad for the living.
"Are you finished?"
Jiang Jiu's tone was surprisingly calm, and it sounded like he was about to explode in the next second, which made Ji Chen's hands gradually clench into fists, waiting for Jiang Jiu's judgment.
Even though he had become an immortal, he still couldn't protect her.
Anyone would be justified in feeling resentful.
He did not look directly into Jiang Jiu's eyes, but lowered his eyes, waiting for Jiang Jiu's "judgment".
However, in the next second, Jiang Jiu stepped forward, took his hand, slowly opened his clenched fist, and softened his tone.
"But none of what you said makes sense to me. You've obviously done a good job, so why are you blaming yourself?"
Jiang Jiu's voice seemed to be swept into Ji Chen's ears by the wind. The dark clouds that had originally shrouded his heart were dispelled in just an instant. He raised his eyes in a daze and met Jiang Jiu's bright eyes, which seemed to be shining with starlight. Her eyes were full of love as she looked at him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't necessarily do better than you do."
She told Ji Chen her thoughts, just as she had promised him.
"You've been my Master, my teacher. You've tried your best to practice everything you taught me. You're not two-faced, saying one thing and thinking another. You've treated me the same way. You haven't let anyone down, so why are you blaming yourself so much?"
Jiang Jiu has always known that Ji Chen is a person with very correct values. In the words of the cultivation world, he is self-disciplined and polite, respects teachers and integrates knowledge and action.
Isn't she the same?
If Ji Chen faced such a problem, she would only cry helplessly and would not be able to find an effective way to solve the problem. However, Ji Chen has been trying. Although he failed at the last second, it does not mean that his thoughts and actions are inconsistent.
He chose the world and her, but only wanted to give up himself.
He has surpassed many people, even immortals.
It's not like she hasn't seen selfish immortals before. Selfish desires always dominate intelligent races, let alone humans.
"You...don't blame me?"
Ji Chen hesitated.
"I don't blame you, and I have never blamed you. If I must say, I am very happy and blessed to have met you. Master, no, Ji Chen, don't you like me? You want to stay with me, right?"
Jiang Jiu also spoke frankly about his thoughts.
Neither of them can lose the other, so they might as well talk it out and make the future days easier.
Although they have a lot of time left, there is a knot in their hearts and a barrier between them. No one can live well and they will toss and turn and have trouble sleeping all night.
"Then why do you..."
Ji Chen's eyebrows drooped again, as if filled with melancholy.
He was struggling with Jiang Jiu's attitude during this period.
Jiang Jiu also understood it in an instant.
"No, it has nothing to do with that incident. It's all in the past... Do I look so petty? Why would I still hold a grudge against you?"
She sighed, then explained in detail her recent tangled state of mind.
"I'm just... still not used to you changing from a teacher to my boyfriend. You know, in our world, teacher-student relationships are taboo."
Jiang Jiu said seriously.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, a strange look flashed across Ji Chen's eyes.
“But we used to…”
He was referring to the incident in which Jiang Jiu had deliberately seduced him. Although it had happened a long time ago and it happened in the game, it showed that Jiang Jiu should not have been resistant to this. Why did he suddenly have such a big reaction now?
"No, no, no! That's different. You don't understand."
Jiang Jiu waved his hands repeatedly and explained to Ji Chen slowly and carefully. It took Ji Chen a long time to understand Jiang Jiu's thoughts, although he didn't fully understand it either.
"In the world of cultivation, the relationship between master and disciple is also unacceptable. It is equally immoral and even more difficult than yours. I didn't expect that in your eyes, we are actually teacher and student..."
Ji Chen seemed to be thinking about something.
"That's about it, but I've let it go now."
Jiang Jiu rubbed her solar plexus helplessly. In any case, she absolutely could not let Ji Chen continue to consume his internal energy. In the words of traditional Chinese medicine, this would consume a lot of Qi and blood.
Ji Chen was already extremely exhausted due to his own reasons, and he was so thin that he seemed like he would fall down if the wind blew. He couldn't be allowed to continue to be autistic like this.
"Okay, let's not continue this topic. We don't need to think about who owes whom in the future. Besides, I still owe you a curse, don't I?"
Jiang Jiu said helplessly.
That's right, she just realized in the past two days that what Ji Chen had lost was his health, which manifested as being cursed. He could only be a sickly handsome man from now on. Although he was not really weak, Ji Chen's strength was still considerable, but he would need to take good care of his body every day in the future, as he could easily vomit blood.
I wonder if the immortal will die young like this?
Jiang Jiu thought about this and felt a little melancholy for a moment. After all, Ji Chen left the world before her no matter what.
Now the theory of life span has affected her, a person who is forced to live forever.
Perhaps Jiang Jiu's expression revealed too many thoughts, and Ji Chen's voice floated into her ears. Her brows were slightly furrowed on her cold face, and her thin lips were lightly pink, making her look very kissable.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiu's eyes turned dark.
Lately, she's been inexplicably craving kissing, as if possessed by a sex maniac.
"Nothing."
Jiang Jiu quickly shook his head and turned to walk up the mountain.
Ji Chen was left there and followed for a while. Jiang Jiu thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief after walking for a while, but she didn't expect that as soon as she stopped, she heard Ji Chen's questioning voice coming from behind.
"Why don't you answer me?"
His words made Jiang Jiu stiffen.
"Didn't you just say that you wanted to open up to me and stop hiding things? Did you lie to me?"
Ji Chen's gaze made Jiang Jiu feel uneasy. She clearly didn't mean that just now. It was only about what happened before, not everything in the future. Couldn't she keep a secret?
Although Jiang Jiu complained in his heart, he remained honest in his words.
"No, no....I just thought that you might die before me in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Jiu felt as if the air seemed to freeze. She also realized belatedly that there was ambiguity in her words and quickly covered her mouth.
He was so bold as to curse his master not to live longer than him.
Obviously, Ji Chen was also amused by her shocking statement, and he didn't care about the internal friction and repentance he was just doing.
"Are you already expecting me to die?"
