"Jing Shaoci, are you willing?"
Jing Shaoci looked into Yan Zixiu's blazing eyes, trying his best to control the violent emotions in his heart.
He took a deep breath and said, "I am willing."
Yan Zixiu put the silver ring on Jing Shaoci's slender finger, and at this moment, the oath of the Taiqing Divine Lord spread throughout the five realms in the form of an oracle.
Everyone looked up at the oracle flowing with thousands of golden lights, all with their mouths open, stunned.
Jing Shaoci's uneasiness was swept away at this moment, and after Yan Zixiu stood up, he hugged him tightly in his arms.
It turned out that his lover didn't care about his feelings, but always wanted to give him the best.
The originally beautiful scene was interrupted by a man covered in frost.
"Yan Zixiu!"
Yan Zixiu stepped out of Jing Shaoci's embrace and turned to look in the direction of the voice.
The man was Shen Yan.
After flying to the other side with Jing Shaoci, he looked at Shen Yan and said, "This is the first time I've heard you speak with such a gnashing tone in all these years."
Although Shen Yan was mostly sarcastic when he was summoned to the lower world last time, he was not like this now. Shen Yan sneered
, his eyes full of coldness, and said, "I'm here to remind you that the divine domain also includes my temple."
What this sentence means is that the Void Heaven Extreme Realm illuminated by the Holy Candle is now also in the silver ring on Jing Shaoci's hand.
Yan Zixiu didn't feel guilty at all after hearing this, but said calmly: "Yes, I know."
Shen Yanxiu narrowed his cold eyes and was about to speak, but Lin Shi'an suddenly appeared at this time.
Seeing this, Yan Zixiu put his hands behind his back and said: "Since you have become the ancestor of the demon world, you must return to the demon world with the demon ancestor."
When Lin Shi'an heard this, he immediately looked at Shen Yan with bright eyes, "Can I?"
All the anger disappeared because of the little demon's look. Shen Yan held Lin Shi'an's hand and said coldly: "Yes."
Lin Shi'an immediately smiled and curved his eyes. As long as Shen Yan came to his territory, he would have his say.
Hey, there is hope for a counterattack.
Unfortunately, some things are always smooth when you think about them, but become a thousand gullies when you put them into practice.
After the two of them left, Jing Shaoci asked in a low voice: "Besides the last incident, does Shen Yan owe you anything?"
He knew his lover's temperament best. If there was no reason, Yan Zixiu would never covet anything from others.
"He should have been the one to open up the fairyland."
After the family returned from the God Realm, Gu Shiyi suddenly asked in confusion: "Wife, you said that my brother and sister-in-law have been in love for so long, why haven't they slept together yet?"
Li Fengzhi didn't quite understand this either. After thinking for a while, he said: "Maybe Mr. Jing wants to save it until after marriage." Gu Shiyi
didn't believe that his cousin was voluntarily "keeping his chastity". Just by looking at the look in Brother Jing's eyes when he looked at Brother Yan, he knew that he must be a large carnivore.
So one day he seized the opportunity and quickly asked this question.
After Jing Shaoci finished listening, he raised his lips slightly and said, "After getting married, it will be difficult for Yan Yan to run away."
"Run away? Brother Yan has already offered the entire Divine Realm to propose to you, why would he..."
Before he could finish his question, Gu Shiyi was suddenly confused by his own associations.
"Great." He raised a thumb in a daze, and praised with a chuckle, "It's really great."

Every year, reporters will list a red and black list of interviews. The artists on the red list are the stars who have a good reputation in the interview activities, and the black list is naturally self-evident.
This year is more special because Yan Zixiu is ranked first on both the red and black lists.
The reason for being on the red list is that he does not put on airs, has a high degree of cooperation, and his team is also punctual and professional, and respects media staff.
The reason for being on the blacklist is not because of anything else, but because Yan Zixiu spoke too little in the interview and answered questions in a very official way.
There are no explosive points, no scandals, and he just quietly shoots movies and wins awards all year round. He is obviously a top star, but there is nothing to write about him in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, every time after interviewing Yan Zixiu, the reporter goes back to write the article and it is a state of breaking his head. Every year,
the artists on the blacklist will be scolded on the hot search, but this year, netizens have a series of hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Yan Zixiu's fans even typed out the topic [Feeling sorry for the entertainment industry] and spontaneously saved their reputation.
But not long after, this feeling of pity fell on them themselves.
Yan Zixiu and Lu Qiaobei's respective relationships have been settled, and now they plan to announce their relationship and hold a wedding.
"Brother Yan, I'm going to make it public on the fifth of next month. The company has already informed the social media platforms in advance. When do you plan to do it?"
Yan Zixiu had already discussed this with Li Fengzhi. Just as he was about to answer, Jiang Yuan, Lu Qiaobei's agent, ran into the lounge.
"Oh no," she swallowed hard, "It's out on the Internet."
Yan Zixiu's relationship was exposed in advance.
But it wasn't between him and Jing Shaoci, but between him and Yin Jue.
The two of them hugged each other in the street. There were not only photos but also clear videos, right in front of the restaurant where he had dinner with the Lu family that day.
The paparazzi who took the photos even used the title [Yan Zixiu took his lover to dinner with his family during the New Year], and it was marked with the deep red word "explosive" as soon as it came out.
Li Fengzhi called soon and told Yan Zixiu that the company would issue a statement in the afternoon.
Yan Zixiu and Lu Qiaobei were waiting backstage at this time, and happened to run into this big news. As expected, after the brand event ended, the reporters were already waiting impatiently.
Generally, in this situation, the artist would choose to leave directly, but Yan Zixiu unexpectedly chose to stay and accept the interview.
"Yan Zixiu, is the revelation on the Internet true?"
"How long have you
been dating him? If you are not photographed, when do you plan to announce your relationship?" "Do you plan to get married by meeting him with your family?"
No matter how the media reporters asked, Yan Zixiu, facing the long gun and short cannon camera, never opened his mouth.
This embarrassing situation continued until Lu Qiaobei raised his hand.
On his left ring finger, there was a wedding ring. Lu Qiaobei smiled happily and said, "I am the one to marry. His name is Yin Jue. He is the one I have been pursuing for a long time. He is also Brother Yan's cousin."
The flashlight stopped instantly. Even the reporters who had seen big scenes were stunned by this reversal.
Taking advantage of this gap, the bodyguards and assistants quickly stepped forward to escort the two people off the scene. Even if the reporters asked questions at the back, the team did not give them any chance.
Yan Zixiu did not care how badly the Internet exploded that day, and Xingyi's public relations department also breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the hotel, he immediately called back Jing Shaoci's video call.
After the call was connected, the first thing Yan Zixiu said was: "It was Yin Jue who hugged me that day."
Jing Shaoci looked at the screen of the phone and sneered: "I kindly let you go, but he repaid me with hatred. I think he doesn't want to open Zhuyuanzhai anymore."
Yan Zixiu smiled, "He is going to marry Xiaobei soon, why are you jealous?"
"Then this is not a reason for him to hug you in public."
Yan Zixiu shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say.
"Just now, Li Jingji told me that the date we announced will be postponed."
In fact, this is the real reason why Jing Shaoci is unhappy. He wants to let everyone in the world know about his relationship with Yan Zixiu today.
Yan Zixiu coaxed him for a while, and finally he could only appease Jing Shaoci with the condition of returning early.
Compared with Yan Zixiu, Lu Qiaobei has always been a traffic actor, but traffic has always been a double-edged sword. The
company was prepared for a collapse, but the result was beyond the agency's expectations. The fans were surprisingly receptive to this incident.
This is all due to Lu Qiaobei's unlucky scandal physique.
Compared with the previous female stars who were both hype and demon-making, they would rather have a beautiful and low-key male sister-in-law.
In addition, Yin Jue also has the title of Yan Zixiu's cousin, which has also increased his favorability.

Time flies to April, and "The End of the World" has entered the promotion period.
As the producer said, all the funds were spent on production, and the money for publicity was pitifully small.
To make matters worse, "Monster Hunter 2" was postponed on the eve of the Spring Festival, and it was also chosen to premiere on May 1st.
The reason announced by the film company was that the post-production had not yet achieved the most ideal effect, but the real reason was actually to vent.
Since Yan Zixiu started to make movies seriously, although he has only one work every year, none of them is a bad movie.
At the beginning, some people said that he was lucky or had a deep background, but over the years, this statement no longer caused any waves.
But the investors of "Monster Hunter 2" just focused on this topic. They just wanted to break the so-called box office myth of Yan Zixiu and make him regret his original choice.
Under the overwhelming publicity of "Monster Hunter 2", Doomsday was suppressed and had no power to fight back.
In the pre-sale box office before the release, the former broke the record and reached 53 million, while the latter only had 7.6 million, and these were the results of Yan Zixiu's trip to 23 cities.
Many film critics were not optimistic about this doomsday movie, and even some fans bought tickets purely out of support.
The pre-sale box office was not ideal, and the biggest impact was the screening rate. Even theaters in big cities only scheduled two shows a day, so how could the box office go up?
Yan Zixiu had ten thousand ways to solve this dilemma, but he didn't, because he chose to find a sponsor.
Jing Shaoci had just returned from the company and ate three dishes and one soup made by Yan Zixiu himself. When handling official business, Yan Zixiu also brought a fruit plate.
When he returned to his room to take a shower, Yan Zixiu said seriously, "Take a shower quickly, I'll wait for you."
Jing Shaoci's Adam's apple moved up and down, then he held his hand and said, "Yan Yan, if you have something to say, just tell me directly."
Yan Zixiu couldn't help but raise the corner of his lips and said, "Don't think too much."
It would have been fine if he didn't say this, but Jing Shaoci became more uneasy after saying this, "Are you going to correct my bones again?"
Yan Zixiu shook his head and said mysteriously, "You'll know when you come out."
Jing Shaoci finished his shower with a nervous mood. After coming out of the bathroom, Yan Zixiu patted the bed and said, "Come here."
After he went over, he didn't lie down, but asked back, "Is Duan Shaoheng pursuing you again?"
"No."
"You were hugging someone and the paparazzi took a picture of you again?"
Yan Zixiu helplessly raised his hand to hold his shoulder and said, "I'm just giving you a massage."
He pressed Jing Shaoci to lie on the bed, and then really started to massage him.
"Have you been tired recently?"
"Is dinner to your taste?"
"What kind of clothes do you like to see me in the most?"
Jing Shaoci lay on the bed and said, "I like you without clothes."
The hand on his shoulder instantly increased its strength, pinching him directly and making him groan.
Jing Shaoci turned over, looked at him and said, "You said you wouldn't hit me in bed."
Yan Zixiu lowered his eyes and said coldly, "It won't work if you are too gentle."
Jing Shaoci raised his hand and pulled him into his arms. As soon as they lay down together, Yan Zixiu took the initiative to hug his waist.
Jing Shaoci had no reason and no willpower to refuse this "lucky opportunity" that came right to his door, but before doing so, he still wanted to ask clearly.
"Yanyan, where did you learn this way of coaxing people?"
Yan Zixiu pursed his lips slightly and whispered, "Romance movies."
Jing Shaoci was silent for a few seconds and said, "This learning method is not bad, but you chose the wrong direction."
Yan Zixiu asked shamelessly, "Then which one should I choose?"
"There must be such themes in those films of Gu Shiyicun." As soon as
the voice fell, Jing Shaoci clearly felt Yan Zixiu's clenched fist on his waist, so he changed the subject with a strong desire to survive: "Yanyan, do you want me to do something?"
Yan Zixiu turned over from his arms, looked at him and said, "My intention is so obvious?"
Jing Shaoci pinched his earlobe and teased, "Little Tangyuan, you almost wrote it on your face."
Yan Zixiu brushed away his mischievous hand and said straight to the point, "I want money, and your..."
He thought about it for a while, picked out a suitable word and said, "Power."
Speaking of money, it is undoubtedly the most depressing thing for Jing Shaoci.
Over the years, Yan Zixiu only let him take 100 million to invest in movies, but after the movie was taken off the shelves, he made nearly 1 billion.
Jing Shaoci looked at the extra numbers in the account, and at that moment, he felt that he was a kept gigolo.
So after hearing what Yan Zixiu said, he quickly sat up and asked seriously, "Is this another investment that will make you a lot of money this time?"
"Well..." Yan Zixiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Maybe not."
Jing Shaoci breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I feel relieved."
"But this time..."
"No buts." Jing Shaoci interrupted directly, eliminating all possibilities of being kept, "How much does it cost?"
Yan Zixiu thought for a moment, gestured a number and said, "Fifty million."
Jing Shaoci was silent, and after a long while he said, "Last time you wanted one hundred million, but this time it's only fifty million."
He looked at Yan Zixiu, feeling aggrieved, "Has your love for me also decreased by half?"
Yan Zixiu frowned in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"
Jing Shaoci didn't dare to say more, for fear that the money would become less while he was talking.
After asking about other things, Jing Shaoci looked at Yan Zixiu and said, "Yan Yan, it's easy for you to solve these problems, why did you come to me?"
Yan Zixiu leaned over and kissed him on the corner of his lips, "Because I want you to know that I need you all the time."
