Bo Jichen's words struck Agares' heart like a muffled thunderclap, gradually clearing his mind, which had been clouded by concern.
Shu Xubai is a Vampire who feeds on human blood. He is strong, aloof, and arrogant. He and his young wife are close friends who are also rivals.
He was willing to travel from the Fourth Civilization to find her, to stage a play with her, so that she could escape.
She will return to Earth, and even if it means crossing countless galaxies, she will find him and bring him with her!
Jiang Jiang is 5000 years old, so Shu Xubai is definitely no less than 5000 years old.
He broke free from the constraints of time, conquered time, and lived for 5,000 years. So... he also has hope. He gave up his human identity and chose to become a Vampire, which gives him hope.
Bo Jichen looked at his student through the screen, remaining silent for a long time. He then poured cold water on his words: "Agares, in the memory inheritance I know, no one can live for three to five thousand years, and no one can live for ten thousand years."
"Moreover, you said that Jiang Jiang has fallen into a deep sleep, possibly for thousands or tens of thousands of years. What does that mean? It means that she may have fallen into a deep sleep more than once."
"Feelings can drive a person crazy, make them unable to live without someone, and even make them die for love. This is the beautiful side, but there is also an unpleasant side. There are many people who love each other to the point of hating each other and wishing they could kill each other."
"You want to live for a thousand years, ten thousand years, to stay with Jiang Jiang, but have you ever thought about whether she will still remember you when she wakes up after a thousand or ten thousand years?"
If everything Agares said is true, then his beloved eldest daughter, Lu Feng, is a being close to a god, even more noble than Shu Xubai.
For someone like that to descend to the mortal realm, get together with Agares, and even become pregnant with his child is truly a case of the ancient Chinese saying: "The ancestral tombs of the Troia Empire have caught fire, and it's not just emitting green smoke, it's burning so badly that even water pipes can't extinguish it."
Agares stared directly at Bo Jichen on the screen and said firmly, "Teacher, I can't live without her. I will die without her."
"She is currently asleep and we don't know when she will wake up. It doesn't matter. I will try my best to find a way to live for thousands of years. If I can live, I will stay with her. If I can't live, I will die far away."
"I know I was being willful. Please forgive me, teacher. Between the country and Jiang Jiang, this time I choose her, whether she forgives me or not."
She faked her death and escaped, leaving him heartbroken and feeling like a walking corpse. Only when he learned that she was still alive did his heart start beating again and his blood start boiling once more.
This feeling terrified him even more than when he was deep in enemy territory, on the verge of death. He didn't want to be controlled by this feeling, and he didn't want to have any regrets. So... no matter how many years she was asleep, he could wait and stay with her.
Bo Jichen sighed: "What forgiveness or not, what willfulness or not, what country or not, you made your choice, as long as you don't regret it, no one can control you, no one can."
"I'm so glad you've grown up. You know what you want and what you don't want. There's nothing to apologize for, nothing to be willful about. You protect what you like. That's human nature."
The person he loves must guard the empire, dedicate themselves to the 3 billion people of the empire until their dying breath. He has countless opportunities to kidnap the person he loves, take them to a desolate planet, and make sure that the person he loves only sees him.
But he didn't do that. Liking someone isn't selfish or self-serving; liking someone is about fulfilling their needs. Liking someone means liking what they like, and that no one else matters except them.
Agares lowered his head slightly: "I understand, teacher, thank you!"
Bo Jichen hummed in agreement and waved his hand, "No need to be polite. Just do what you need to do. Don't worry about the issue of the imperial heir. Jiang Dandan is too lazy to hatch right now, but it can't deny its status as the first heir of the empire anyway."
Agares: "Yes, teacher."
Bo Jichen gave a few more instructions, disconnected the personal terminal, kicked away the insect that tried to ambush him, then turned on the personal terminal and dialed the communication with the insect emperor He Yan...
Agares, sitting in the cockpit, paused only briefly before beginning to search for all information about Vampire.
Shu Xubai was his only hope to live for thousands of years, and he had to hold on to him tightly and not let go of any opportunity.
Aying returned to the plant pod and happily told the other companion spirits that the Spirit Eye was now in hibernation and would not die, and could live for a long, long time.
The other companion spirits were all happy for him: "Really? Really? That's wonderful, Ah Ying, you no longer have to worry about the Spirit Eye, you can stay with him for a long, long time."
"Congratulations, Ah Ying, may you and Ling Yan be together forever, until the end of time."
"I knew Ah Ying was a lucky person, and I was right."
"It's so good to have a master. Even the internal decay of the Spirit Eye can be healed. This master is amazing."
"Yes, yes, Master's spiritual power is amazing. My tree has flashed into human form several times. I believe that in the near future, it will definitely become human."
"My tree is the same. I've seen it flash into human form several times before, but it's still just a little bit short. I believe that in the near future, it will definitely transform into a human and become the most beautiful human."
"right……"
"What do you mean, 'right'?" Ling Hong ground her back teeth and said, lowering her head, "I'm asking you companion spirits, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"
"If the master you speak of is really that powerful, wouldn't it be enough for him to just turn all these thousands of trees here into people?"
"She's deliberately creating a fuss here to make you grateful and become her lackeys. And you lot are practically being sold out, yet you're still happily counting money for her!"
"Smack!"
As soon as Ling Hong finished speaking, her mouth was slapped by Ling Xi's snake-like temper.
A heavy stab from the snake tore his mouth open, drawing blood.
Aying turned around and scolded, "Linghong, you are a ginkgo tree, not a tea tree. How did you come up with the idea of saying such divisive things?"
Other companion spirits: "That's right, that's right. You're just stirring up trouble with your tea-laced words. Do you think we're children who lack judgment and can be easily fooled into betraying our master?"
"Don't be silly, Linghong. Just because our master brought us back to Earth, gave us identities, bought us clothes, and gave us money, even if his spiritual power is useless to us, we will not betray him as you say."
“The people chosen by the spiritual eye are always right, unlike you, who do nothing but drink blood and eat flesh and engage in crooked and evil practices. Sometimes I think that the reason you don’t have a companion spirit is because you are too filthy, and your companion spirit is slow to appear.”
As the saying goes, "to kill someone is to destroy their spirit." Words are like a soft knife; they stab into the heart, causing the person to scream in pain, but others can't see it and will think they're just being dramatic.
Seeing that many companion spirits were cursing him, Aying took a basin, filled it with water, poured a bag of salt into it, stirred it until it dissolved, and then, holding the basin, said to Lingxi, who was surrounded by swirling spirits, "Give me a few more marks on his body."
Lingxi, like an obedient dog rather than a snake, slapped Linghong's body repeatedly, exactly ten times.
Ling Hong screamed as he was whipped, his naked body covered in blood. He was unable to move or walk; the only thing he could express was his mouth, and the only thing he could move was his eyes.
Enduring the excruciating pain, just as he opened his mouth to begin the process, Ah Ying flapped her wings and flew up, pouring a basin of salt water over Ling Hong from head to tail.
"ah!"
The taste of salt made Ling Hong let out a scream.
With a loud clang.
Aying smashed a basin on Linghong's face, poked his nose, and scolded, "Linghong, you're addicted to tree vegetables. Don't provoke us every day. If you provoke us again and sow discord, I'll stuff salt all over you. I mean it."
Ling Hong: "!!!!"
Salt water was splashed on my body.
It hurt him terribly.
These companion spirits are all no good.
No, the Spirit Eye is not a good thing.
It's all because of him, all because of the lousy master he found that these companion spirits think they've found a powerful backer and are yelling at him.
The ship sailed through the vast sea of stars, leaving countless stars behind and shattering countless rocks into dust.
Agares cooks every day, puts the food in his spatial storage, and then goes to check on his little wife, but he still can't see her; she's wrapped in willow branches in bed.
Hunter stood at the head of her bed, holding Jiang Dandan in his hand. He stood there like a pine tree or a mountain, unmoving, neither eating nor drinking, with a firm gaze and a powerful aura of killing intent emanating from his body.
In the interstellar era, rapid development and advanced medical care have made superhumans powerful. Jiufeng's arm, leg, and chest were cut off. He was immediately treated with a healing spray. The bleeding stopped and new flesh began to grow.
He was still hanging there, his hands bound, his upper body naked except for a pair of trousers. If an ordinary person saw him, they would never recognize him as their cult leader, the chief of their Phoenix Clan.
The elders of the Phoenix Clan were different; they were not ordinary people. They saw him as a pile of elixirs of immortality, not as one of their own, much less their clan leader.
Jiufeng's hair had lost its luster, becoming dull and frizzy. Her beautiful cheeks were completely bloodless, her face was full of fatigue, and her eyes were bloodshot.
He hadn't slept for several days. The elders wouldn't let him sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, they would either splash water on him, stab him, or draw his blood.
In short, the elders wouldn't let him sleep, tormenting him mentally, demanding that he tell them where Changsheng was and where Shu Xubai's Vampire was.
Jiufeng didn't know anything. He only knew that there was no such thing as immortality. He only knew that the so-called immortality of the Phoenix Clan was a hoax, and that the ancestors of the Phoenix Clan had deceived them.
He tried to persuade the elders, but none of them believed him. They pointed at him and discussed, "We can't learn anything from his blood, we can't learn anything from his flesh, why don't we just boil him whole?"
"Boil him whole? How could you even think of that? He's the only one who knows about immortality. If you boil him, what will happen to immortality?"
"He...he's with that Vampire, so intimate, like partners. Do you think it's because of their physical intimacy, their spiritual connection, that..."
The speaker hesitated, which made a strange breakthrough in the minds of about ten elderly men, whose hair was white, their faces were covered with black spots, and who looked like skeletons. Their cloudy eyes lit up, filled with filth, and they stared straight at Jiu Feng.
The look in his eyes, the posture, the way he looked—it was just like a hungry wolf seeing meat, or a dying man seeing a magic pill, wanting to tear him apart, destroy him, and devour him.
Jiufeng shuddered, her reddened eyes staring at them. Her dry throat burned as if it had been pulled by hot coals: "First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, I'll say it again, there is no immortality. We are human beings, we have spiritual power, we have spiritual bodies. Humans cannot live forever."
A dozen or so old men surrounded Jiufeng, sizing him up and commenting: "Our clan leader has long legs, a slender waist, and a handsome face. If physical intimacy with him could grant immortality, I would gladly forgo my lifelong reputation as an old man."
"Yes, this old woman hasn't had a chance to meet someone as handsome as the chieftain in a long time. As the saying goes, 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' Our chieftain can get together with Vampires and sacrifice for the people, so it's not a big deal for me to get involved too."
The old man and woman's foul language filled Jiu Feng's bloodless face with anger and shame. "You, are you all insane?"
A dozen or so elderly men and women chuckled. “We’re not crazy. We want immortality. Chieftain, if you don’t want to suffer anymore, either find that Vampire for us, or we’ll taste you.”
“We are our people, we are the same kind of people. If Vampire, that outsider, can share a passionate encounter with you, then we… can even more so.”
"Don't worry, our goal is to achieve immortality, to live as long as the mountains and rivers, and to shine as brightly as the sun and moon. We don't want to harm your life. If you behave well, we will be gentle with you."
"What's with the gentleness? Give him some medicine and heal his wounds. I find his body disgusting. We need to do something to make things work."
“If you find this disgusting, then step aside and let this old woman go first. I don’t have much of an appetite at all; in fact, I’m quite happy to have it.”
An old woman with white hair, a wrinkled face, bright red lipstick, a hunched back, and hands like tree bark reached out and touched Jiu Feng's face.
Jiufeng's stomach, which hadn't eaten for several days, started churning, and a feeling of nausea rushed to her throat. She hid her face from the old woman's hand.
The old woman chuckled at his evasiveness, licking her lips smeared with lipstick. "Chieftain, don't hide. I, this old woman, blessed you when you were born."
"Now that you have the chance to live forever, then help this old woman so that I can also live forever. Don't worry, as long as my wish is fulfilled, I will protect your life and still support you as the clan leader and the spiritual belief of the Fourth Civilization!"
