Shu Jianyue had no idea that the spiritual elixir and pills she gave Gu Yunxiao had unexpectedly earned her a few determined followers who were still staring intently at Chongjiu.
Seeing that he had returned to normal, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Three days have passed and there's still no improvement, so she's starting to get anxious.
With a surge of spiritual energy, Chong Jiu released the fourth seal and restored his cultivation to the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
Shu Jianyue took two steps back, her eyes lit up, and she stared intently at him.
When Chong Jiu opened his eyes, he saw her anxious gaze. He raised his hand to her corner of the eye and smiled, "I'm sorry to have worried you. This time it's a little more difficult than before."
"The energy on this dragon throne is less than the previous ones, so it took some effort."
Shu Jianyue looked at the dragon throne and asked, "Why is this dragon throne underground? Shouldn't it be in the palace?"
Chong Jiu shook his head. "Let's absorb the energy inside first. I don't know if it will help you break through."
"Okay." Shu Jianyue grabbed the armrest of the dragon throne and began to absorb energy.
She discovered that, just as Chong Jiu had said, the energy in this dragon throne was indeed less than the previous three, but it was still enough for her water-based superpowers to reach level seven.
The previously restless mental energy also broke through, reaching the level eleven mark.
However, his cultivation level only broke through one level and stopped at the ninth level of the Void Refinement stage.
After she absorbed all the energy, the dragon throne turned into dust and fell to the ground.
Shu Jianyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It broke because of a toy, are you alright?"
"Why do you think there's less energy in it?"
Chong Jiu thought for a moment and said, "The fire python has been coiled on it for a long time, so it will absorb some of the energy."
"When I took this dragon throne, there was a Fiery Spirit Fruit Vine growing next to it, which shows that it also absorbed the energy from the throne."
As he spoke, Chong Jiu stepped forward and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her head.
Shu Jianyue was stunned by his sudden action. "What, what are you doing?"
Weren't we just talking fine a moment ago?
"Yueyue, when will I be officially hired?" Chong Jiu gently stroked her lower back.
I can only look but not eat every day, I'm starving!
Shu Jianyue felt a little itchy and struggled slightly, but he hugged her even tighter. "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
The topic shifted abruptly, without any warning.
"This concerns my future, how could I not care? I'm thinking about it all the time." He hadn't mentioned it before because he was afraid that if he asked too many questions, she would become resistant. But when he saw the worry in her eyes, Chong Jiu knew that his chance had come.
Shu Jianyue's eyelids twitched. Could it mean what she was thinking?
Chong Jiu had no idea what she was thinking. Seeing that she remained silent for a while, he asked again, "What's wrong?"
Could it be that I haven't been officially hired yet?
Shu Jianyue looked at him, and she was certain of her feelings for him. She would start to worry about his safety, and she would miss him after being apart for a long time.
But, marriage?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems like there's nothing wrong with it.
What happens after you become a full-time employee?
"Of course I'll marry you. We've sworn an oath to become Daoist partners, protected by the rules of heaven and earth. You don't need to worry that I'll betray you." Chong Jiu looked at her with bright eyes.
Looking at the face sculpted like a god's, Shu Jianyue felt her eyes shine even brighter and deeper. She was already moved, so what was wrong with getting married and becoming Daoist partners?
He raised his hand to touch that face, feeling the warmth beneath his hand, and thought for a moment before saying, "It's fine to become Daoist partners, but you're not allowed to hide anything from me, and I'll tell you everything about my life."
Chong Jiu pulled her into a tight embrace and smiled, "Of course, I'll tell you everything you want to know."
"You have to tell me things I don't want to know."
Chong Jiu nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you everything that happened to me."
Shu Jianyue nodded in satisfaction, but then felt a little dazed.
Then she thought of Yuchuan and Yanxi, and felt that everything was inevitable, after all, they already had a child, it felt like it was bound to come to this sooner or later.
"Shall we get married now?"
Chong Jiu lowered his head and kissed her, saying, "Of course I can't let you suffer like this. If I could, I would like to hold a grand banquet in the Upper God Realm so that everyone in the Ten Domains, Eight Desolations, Four Seas, and Holy Spirit God Realm would know that you, Shu Jianyue, are my wife, Chong Jiu's Daoist partner."
"But I can't wait that long, Yueyue, will you blame me?"
Shu Jianyue shook her head, "I don't care about this kind of thing, I just want something simple."
It's fine if we don't have a wedding. It's just about living together. She's not very romantic and doesn't care much about these things.
But Chongjiu values her highly, so how could he let it go so easily? "I will choose the nearest auspicious day and hold a grand banquet at Shengshi Academy."
"You can invite anyone you want. You can't let the whole world know, but at least you have to let everyone in the Ten Realms and Eight Desolations know."
Shu Jianyue rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Aren't you afraid that the person above will find out?"
"Have you forgotten what your current cultivation level is?"
"With your current strength, can you beat them?"
These three questions immediately dampened Chongjiu's excitement.
This added another layer to Chong Jiu's resentment towards that person.
Seeing his dejected expression, Shu Jianyue immediately comforted him, "Alright, I know what you're thinking. There's no rush. We can make it up to you later."
I feel that he is very different now than he was before.
Where did that aloofness from when we first met go?
Where did that feeling of being able to look down on everyone go?
Why does it give off a puppy-like vibe now?
