Chapter 36 What's going on
"How long can this delay?"
Xiao Nian fell into deep thought.
"Not long, just two years."
Chi Li shook his head. He was willing to cut down some of the most important trees in the Ninth Heaven just to let Jiang Jiu live in peace for a while. He put in a lot of effort.
“…”
Xiao Nianzhong fell silent again, for a shorter time than he had imagined.
"I see."
He didn't expect to get such an answer today. It was worse than he had imagined, or in other words, many times worse.
"Ji Chen will soon discover something unusual and find a way to hold him back."
Chi Li looked at Xiao Nianzhong's back and left only the last words.
When Xiao Nianzhong left the Moon Palace, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to see Jiang Jiu as soon as possible.
At that time, Jiang Jiu had just woken up from a dream and looked at Xiao Nianzhong who appeared in front of her with a confused look on her face.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Jiang Jiu asked cautiously, fearing that Xiao Nianzhong was unhappy about something.
"I missed you."
Xiao Nianzhong pouted in grievance, walked forward and hugged Jiang Jiu, then lingered in his lover's arms.
Jiang Jiu was suddenly confused by the coquettish behavior. Although Xiao Meiqiu was usually a coquettish person, why was she so... er? Coquettish today?
"I miss you as well."
Jiang Jiu hesitated for a moment, but still put his arms around Xiao Nianzhong's lean and tight waist and patted his back gently.
"Jiujiu, can you like me a little more?"
Xiao Nianzhong was like a big, spoiled puppy, rubbing against Jiang Jiu's neck as if absorbing her scent.
"Huh? Why suddenly?"
Jiang Jiu was confused and didn't know what was wrong with Xiao Nianzhong.
In the past, he was very restrained and would only say this when he really couldn't help it.
"Tell me, tell me you like me."
Xiao Nianzhong refused to give in and held Jiang Jiu tightly. It seemed that he would keep pestering her as long as Jiang Jiu didn't agree.
"Well...but..."
It’s not that Jiang Jiu is stingy, she really doesn’t dare to speak carelessly. What if she dies or leaves this world, what will happen to Xiao Nian?
"No buts, you obviously have feelings for me, why don't you admit it!"
Xiao Nianzhong felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, his voice choked with sobs.
"It's the same in the fantasy world. I apologized to you, but you were still angry. I didn't know how to treat you."
Jiang Jiu became more and more confused. After Xiao Nianzhong's disturbance, her head was like a mess.
"Wait... Can you tell me what just happened to you? Why did you suddenly..."
Jiang Jiu pushed Xiao Nian's heavy body away with difficulty and asked with a serious expression.
"If I were to die, would you still not say you love me?"
He refused to admit defeat and asked stubbornly.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Jiu frowned. Xiao Nianzhong was a demon fetus, how could he die so easily?
"What if? Even if is not an option?"
Xiao Nianzhong refused to give in and continued to ask Jiang Jiu questions.
“No ifs.”
Jiang Jiu had a stern face. She hated it most when people around her left for various reasons, and what she hated most was death.
She couldn't understand why Xiao Nianzhong suddenly asked her this today.
"I understand."
Xiao Nianzhong's devilish voice carried a hint of sadness. He tilted his head and looked very sad, which for a moment softened Jiang Jiu's heart, which had finally cooled down.
"Don't use death as an example... If... I mean if... there's a chance in the future, I will be with you."
Jiang Jiu closed his eyes, but still couldn't help but give him hope.
After she said this, she felt a little regretful, but when she saw Xiao Nianzhong's eyes suddenly light up, she couldn't bear to take it back.
"So! You like me too, right?"
Xiao Nianzhong's handsome face was filled with joy. If he had a tail, it might have been wagging so hard that it was about to fly.
"Um."
Jiang Jiu lowered his head, his cheeks flushed, and his voice was muffled and small, but it was enough to make Xiao Nianzhong feel better.
"Jiujiu, I really like you."
Xiao Nianzhong hugged the person in his arms again, unable to hide his joy.
...
The person he finally coaxed left happily, and Jiang Jiu finally had some time to himself.
She slowly opened the door and stretched, then saw Yu Zimo looking at her not far away.
"Big Brother?"
Jiang Jiu shouted subconsciously.
Ever since Yu Zimo turned back into the form of the eldest senior brother for some unknown reason, Jiang Jiu has habitually called him the eldest senior brother.
And for some reason, Yu Zimo hasn't been close to her recently, and the contact was only for a very brief moment.
But if it was said that Yu Zimo no longer liked her, Jiang Jiu thought it was impossible.
Otherwise, he would have left Xianyu Pavilion and returned to the ghost world long ago.
"Have you been feeling unwell lately?"
Yu Zimo's voice was gentle, and it sounded like ordinary concern.
Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and shook his head at Yu Zimo.
"No, I've just been a little sleepy lately. The rest of my energy is also very strong. I'm almost breaking through my realm."
She also discovered that although she had more time to sleep, her realm progressed rapidly, even faster than when she was in the mortal world. It sounds incredible, but it is true.
"Well, that's good."
Yu Zimo nodded, but didn't say what Jiang Jiu looked like in his eyes now.
In his perception, the vitality of ginger wine was several times more exaggerated than that of top-level spiritual medicines, and the vigorous aura lingering around it even prevented him from getting close.
But this was very wrong, because the breath came from within Jiang Jiu's soul, it was almost... as if she was about to turn into a ball of fire of life and burn herself.
If he hadn't seen all this, he wouldn't have asked Chi Li what was going on yesterday.
"What's wrong, Big Brother?"
A question mark popped up over Jiang Jiu's head. She felt like a confused person now. Xiao Nianzhong was not right, and Yu Zimo was not right either, but neither of them told her why.
"without......"
Before Yu Zimo finished speaking, he heard the bell from the Ninth Heaven ringing, which meant that something serious had just happened.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Jiu turned his head in confusion. Now that there was no extraterritorial demon anymore, why would he ring the bell?
Did the immortal defect?
"It's the sacred laurel tree."
Yu Zimo only needs to release his spiritual sense slightly to perceive the situation in the distance.
The Moon Palace is now in chaos. The Moon Goddess stands in front of the withered laurel tree with a blank expression. She even looks a little pitiful.
"What happened to the sacred laurel tree?"
Jiang Jiu couldn't help but ask.
"The sacred laurel tree was cut down. Now it is withered. The Moon Palace is surrounded by immortals. Ji Chen has also gone there."
Yu Zimo's intuition told him that this matter was not simple. He frowned, but still patiently explained to Jiang Jiu.
