Chapter 83 083 The Primordial Spirit Returns to Its Position
Gongsun Jin, inside the Demon Emperor's Palace, had already sensed that Feng Qingyu and the others were outside the palace gate.
As he started walking towards the door, he bumped into the little demon coming from the doorway.
"Your Majesty, your Daoist companion Jiang Yan is waiting outside the palace. She said, she said..." the little demon stammered, "that she wants to come and break off the contract with you!"
Gongsun Jin frowned slightly and continued walking out without saying a word.
Outside the palace, Lingyue and Xiaobai curiously examined the majestic Demon Emperor's palace before them. The palace walls were constructed of stacked stone, with a unique design and lifelike animal totems carved on them.
An invisible demonic aura lingered around the palace, but strangely enough, wisps of immortal energy also floated within this dense demonic aura. These two auras, which should have been incompatible, were strangely intertwined in a balanced way.
Jiang Yan also felt that the aura of the Demon Emperor's Palace was somewhat strange, but after thinking about it carefully, she also felt that it was somewhat familiar.
The wisp of celestial energy floating around was actually somewhat similar to the aura emanating from 'Gongsun Jin'.
And that trace of demonic energy seems to have a similar effect.
She couldn't help but tilt her head slightly to look at the person beside her.
Gongsun Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at the figure walking quickly toward them not far away, and said, "He's here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and broke the surrounding barrier effortlessly.
Jiang Yan frowned. Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, the aura emanating from him made her frown in confusion. This Demon Emperor seemed to possess an even stronger aura of immortality? As an old demon who had lived for over five hundred years, how could he be surrounded by such a dense aura of immortality?
She gathered her thoughts and walked toward the figure in the gray-blue clothes.
They stood at a distance of half a meter.
Jiang Yan spoke first: "Demon Emperor."
“Miss Jiang, you’ve come from afar, you must be tired. Please come inside with me first, and we can discuss the matter of breaking the contract after you’ve rested.” Lin Yun’s gaze swept over the green snake coiled around her wrist, and she subconsciously hissed and stuck out her tongue at him.
Gongsun Jin frowned slightly, his possessiveness was strong.
Jiang Yan said politely, "Thank you for your trouble."
"You're too kind, young lady."
As 'Gongsun Jin' turned around, her indifferent gaze swept over 'Feng Qingyu' behind her.
Their eyes met, and their thoughts were unspoken.
We need to get our souls back as soon as possible after this meeting.
The little demons in the Demon Emperor's palace were quite perceptive and immediately arranged for some fruits and tea.
Inside the hall, Gongsun Jin, who resided in the body of the Demon Emperor, sat at the head of the table, with Feng Qingyu to his left and Jiang Yan to his right.
The others took their seats in turn.
Before the meal was officially served, Jiang Yan handed the prepared contract termination document to the person beside her: "Your Majesty, you can take a look first. If you have no objections, just sign your name and the contract will be terminated."
Gongsun Jin glanced at the contents indifferently and said calmly, "Let's talk about it after we finish eating."
He is currently in Feng Qingyu's body, and signing the contract now will not allow him to successfully break the contract. Only after switching back to his original body will he have a chance.
Jiang Yan smiled slightly: "Okay."
Things seemed to be going more smoothly than she had imagined, but it wasn't entirely unexpected, since this was a demon beast that had lived for over five hundred years and would naturally disdain to associate with a flower cultivator like her.
The thought of successfully getting rid of a mosaic made Jiang Yan feel happy.
After working so hard these past few days, we're finally making some progress!
As the fine wines and delicacies were served one after another, my appetite was greatly stimulated.
I couldn't help but drink a couple more glasses during the meal, and I got a little tipsy, but not to the point of being drunk.
Towards the end of the dinner, she mistakenly drank a glass of Peach Blossom Wine. This wine seemed to be her natural nemesis; a mere sip was enough to make her completely intoxicated.
Jiang Yan propped herself up on her elbow, her eyes glazed with drunkenness, and squinted at the person beside her, saying with a smile, "Demon Emperor, remember to sign the contract to dissolve the contract."
Gongsun Jin cast a detached glance at her, "Miss Jiang, have you really thought it through? You don't want any of our five Daoist partners?"
In an instant, the hall fell silent.
Lin Yun glared at the meddlesome little immortal lord and said silently and rudely, "If you want to dissolve the contract, then dissolve it. Why ask such a pointless question?!"
Gongsun Jin raised an eyebrow dismissively and looked at Jiang Yan again: "Miss Jiang, are you sure you won't regret this?"
Jiang Yan rubbed her temples slightly, smiled faintly, and said haltingly, "Of course!"
Suddenly, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
Lin Yun's snake-like eyes narrowed slightly; his intuition told him that this 'Little Immortal Lord' was doing it on purpose!
Shen Yuchen's gaze also narrowed.
Gongsun Jin then asked, "After the contract is dissolved, what are Miss Jiang's plans?"
"Of course... I'll go home!"
"Which home? Phoenix Village?"
Jiang Wei shook her head, her eyes still blurry with drunkenness, and said, "I am a Blue Star person... I have absolutely no connection with your world!"
"What will it take for you to go back?"
"Of course, I need to break the contract with you first!" Jiang Yan chuckled dazedly. "Right, I can't kill anyone... This is all I need to do to go back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she slumped onto the table with a thud.
Lingyue and Xiaobai exchanged a glance, their astonishment barely concealed.
Lin Yun's cold, serpentine eyes stared at 'Gongsun Jin'. He was now certain that this little immortal lord had done it on purpose.
Shen Yuchen was briefly surprised, but quickly regained her composure.
Dongfang Chenyi remained calm. He had been somewhat surprised, but only for a moment. After all, he had lived for hundreds of years, and some things were not surprising to him.
However, he thought there was something she must have said wrong. If there really was no connection, she wouldn't have come to this world for no reason.
Gongsun Jin beckoned to the little demon beside him to help the person to the room to rest.
The coal ball suddenly jumped to the ground and went out with it.
Gongsun Jin said calmly, “All of you are extremely talented, and your single-minded pursuit of the Dao will surely lead you to a bright future. Falling for someone who is not meant to be will only bring you trouble. Since you already know the ending, why be so stubborn?”
Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "Immortal Lord, you are in charge of the Heavenly Laws and are used to disciplining yourself and others. But we are used to being lax, so I'm afraid your wise words are misplaced."
He suddenly jumped off the stool: "In all things in life, it's better to enjoy them to the fullest than to strive for perfection."
After saying that, he turned around and scrambled out.
Soon, Shen Yuechen, Dongfang Chen, Ling Yue, and Xiao Bai also went out.
Only Gongsun Jin and Feng Qingyu remained in the hall.
Feng Qingyu picked up the cup of peach blossom wine in front of her and said slowly, "You knew from the beginning that she couldn't drink this wine, so you deliberately served it to entice her to say those words."
Gongsun Jin said calmly, "I just want them to realize the path they should take as soon as possible. Some people and some things are just fleeting moments. The ending is already clear, so why should the Demon Emperor continue to be obsessed?"
Feng Qingyu suddenly slammed the wine glass on the table, spilling the liquid inside in a mess.
"Whether she stays or leaves is entirely her own business. In my five hundred years of life, I have traversed countless worldly realms and witnessed countless cycles of cause and effect. I have more experience than you, and I understand my heart's desires better than you. You go and cultivate your path to immortality, while I have my own pursuit of trials and tribulations. Our paths are fundamentally different, so there is no need for further words!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Qingyu raised her hand and forced out her soul.
The surrounding light suddenly intensified, and his soul, like an arrow released from a bow, instantly disappeared into his body. At the same instant, Gongsun Jin's primordial spirit also transformed into a stream of light and returned to his body.
