Chapter 179 "Daddy!"
With the help of the Destiny System, Shen Junze was determined to get the Phoenix Inner Core.
In order to get the Phoenix Inner Core, he tried his best to pretend to be her Taoist partner Tianci in front of Xian Yunzi.
Just after noon, in the bamboo hut, Shen Junze, with Tianci's face covered, sat opposite Xian Yunzi.
The woman's white jade fingers held the teapot and poured water into the cup. The hot steam gradually dissipated the coolness around.
Shen Junze took the hot tea handed over by the woman, put it to his lips and blew a few times. The refreshing tea aroma came to his face, and just as he was about to take a sip, the voice of the system's destiny came into his mind.
[Tianming: Your Highness, according to Xian Yunzi's memory, the great demon Zhu Yin will appear soon. In Xian Yunzi's memory, Zhu Yin is the real murderer of Tian Jue's death. Tian Jue died at Zhu Yin's hands in order to save Xian Yunzi.]
[Tianming: After all, this is just Xian Yunzi's dream. You just need to pretend to be seriously injured and trick Xian Yunzi into using the Phoenix Inner Pill to save you.]
[Shen Junze: She won't be suspicious, will she?]
[Tianming: No, Xian Yunzi deeply loves Tian Jue, whether inside or outside the dream. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been reliving everything about their lives in her dreams.
Not long after Tianming finished speaking, a gust of evil wind was seen outside the bamboo house, dark clouds covered the sun, and the surroundings were already in darkness.
Wanwan said: "On the third day after Xianyunzi and Tianzhi returned to the mountains, their former enemy Zhuyin found them. Xianyunzi and Tianzhi were both seriously injured. In the end, Tianzhi died together with the big demon Zhuyin in order to save Xianyunzi."
Xiao Moqing said: "Then Xianyunzi was heartbroken and entered the secret valley, trapped himself in the dream and kept reliving every bit of her and Tianzhi?"
"Of course not!" Wanwan heard what her brother Ergou said, "Although Tianci died and Xianyunzi was extremely sad, she did not perish because of this. Instead, she turned her grief into strength and established Xianyun Temple, vowing to kill all the demons that harm people in this world.
So she spent a hundred years to eliminate demons, and when all the demons in this world were almost killed, she entered the Secret Valley and trapped herself in a dream."
After hearing what the little milk ball said, Xiao Moqing originally thought that Xianyunzi trapped herself in the Secret Valley and relived every bit of her and her Taoist partner Tianci's life, and was a love-brained person.
But after hearing what Wanwan said, Xiao Moqing suddenly felt that she was too narrow-minded.
How could this Xianyunzi be a love-brained person? She is clearly a powerful person and a heroine.
After his lover died, he not only did not give up, but also focused on his career. He spent a hundred years slaying monsters, which brought decades of peace to the world. He can be called a hero.
"That's because Shen Junze is too immoral. He still cares about the only relic left by Tian Jue to Xian Yunzi. Tsk tsk tsk." Xiao Moqing couldn't help but sigh.
He originally didn't like Shen Junze at all, and now he hated Shen Junze, the male protagonist, to the extreme.
Wanwan nodded her head and agreed strongly.
[That's right, if you want to become stronger, you have to practice on your own. Why bother to steal other people's things? You always want to get rich overnight without working hard yourself.]
The big and the small were walking on the muddy path in the forest. As they were complaining, they saw the sky not far away suddenly darken.
The sky on the other side seemed to be shrouded by a large area of black evil spirit. Wherever the black evil spirit passed, the green forest withered instantly.
Wanwan was carried on the back of her second brother. Looking at the dimness not far away, she secretly cried out in her heart, "Oh no!"
The next second, she hurriedly pulled the clothes of a certain Er Gouzi and shouted, "Second brother, hurry up, it should be that big demon Zhu Yin who appeared. Later, Shen Junze pretended to be seriously injured and tricked Xian Yunzi into giving him the Phoenix Inner Pill. We must go and stop him!"
Hearing this, Xiao Moqing said nothing, and immediately quickened his pace and ran quickly towards the center of the black evil spirit.
At the same time, in the center of the black evil spirit, the evil spirit enveloped the entire bamboo house.
When Shen Junze and the woman walked out of the house, they saw the huge one-eyed evil dragon hovering above their heads.
"I said before that I will avenge the eye-gouging that day. Prepare to die!"
As soon as the Zhuyin finished speaking, he attacked the two people standing at the door.
Shen Junze thought everything was too simple in his dream. He thought that he would pretend to be injured according to Xian Yunzi's memory, and then trick her into giving him the Phoenix Inner Pill.
But he didn't expect that in order to pretend to be injured, he had to be really injured.
Tianming had previously copied the memory of that celestial oracle for him. When he imitated that celestial oracle and was hit by the palm of the great demon Zhuyin, Shen Junze felt that his internal organs were in pain.
"Ahem——"
He half-knelt on the ground, covered his chest, and spit out a mouthful of blood.
[Tianming: Your Highness, are you okay? Although it is said that we are in a dream, these are all puppets, but they all have their own thoughts]
[Shen Junze: I know, I can bear it]
Shen Junze covered his chest, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and held the sword in his hand again.
[Tianming: But don't worry, Your Highness, I am here, I will naturally not let Your Highness get hurt, but Your Highness will be wronged to suffer some flesh injuries]
Although Tianming used his own power to protect his heart, but when the dragon claws of the big demon stabbed into his stomach, Shen Junze really felt the pain worse than death.
He gritted his teeth with red eyes. The moment the dragon claws peeled off his flesh and blood, he was thrown aside fiercely. The blood mixed with dust had already stained his white clothes.
With bloodshot eyes, he saw the evil dragon rushing towards the woman.
The endless desire for power became the motivation for Shen Junze to continue acting despite the pain. He was completely immersed in the role of Tian Ju.
So, the next second, he also learned from Tian Ju who sacrificed himself to save Xian Yunzi, and fell in front of the woman to block the final fatal blow of the evil dragon for the woman.
"Puchi——"
The sharp claws pierced his heart. After a burst of intense pain, Shen Junze only felt that countless fragments of memory seemed to flash before his eyes, like a horse-walking sight, flashing before his eyes one by one.
He saw many old friends in his memory, his father, his mother, his brother, many people in the royal family, and finally the peasant girl Qiu He whom he hated...
At that moment, Shen Junze felt as if he was really going to die.
He suddenly felt that if he died like this, it seemed like a kind of relief.
Shen Junze felt that he had been lying on the ground for a long time, and suddenly a voice rang in his ears. It was Tianming.
[Tianming: Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up...]
Shen Junze heard this and suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly bumped into the tearful eyes of the woman in front of him.
"Xianyunzi": "Tianju, are you okay?"
The woman in front of him had red eyes, looking at the large bloodstains on his body, and large tears rolled down from her eyes, "Wuwuwu, don't scare me... Wuwuwu"
[Tianming: Your Highness, right now, Phoenix Inner Pill]
The pain in Shen Junze's body made him a little dazed. It was not until he heard Tianming's voice that he remembered the purpose of his coming here.
The next second, he opened his mouth and was about to say something when a child's voice from not far away said faster than him:
"Daddy!"
