Chapter 91
The wedding curtain brushed against Jitang's knees as it fell, blocking out the flickering red candlelight, leaving only a faint red glow.
Jitang's hand was held tightly by Su Jinzhou. He went into the bed first and turned around to pull her.
Her thoughts were in a mess, wondering if the words she said and the actions she took were different from what Su Jinzhou had imagined, would it alert him or aggravate the growth of his inner demons.
But she couldn't let her spend the wedding night like in Su Jinzhou's dream. She was afraid that as soon as Su Jinzhou came over, she would not be able to control herself and kick him.
After thinking about it, she swayed slightly and was lying next to Su Jinzhou.
Su Jinzhou held her hand not loosely, but tighter and tighter.
"Jitang."
Ji Tang hummed, and his legs, which were lying flat, were hooked up involuntarily, ready to kick the Immortal Master at any time.
"If I have a demon in my heart in the future, what will you do?"
Her calf twitched and she let it go again.
"Brother, why would you ask this? Why would you have such a demon in your heart?" She smiled a little reluctantly.
Su Jinzhou also laughed, "I was just saying it casually."
Ji Tang looked at the ceiling of the bed, which was warmed by the residual light of the candle, and said seriously, "Then I will definitely help Brother to get rid of the inner demon!"
He gripped her hand tighter.
"Senior Brother?"
Su Jinzhou also lay flat on the bed like her, looking at the ceiling. After a long moment, he asked, "What if I don't want to?"
Ji Tang couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands, "It must be eliminated! Senior brother must know the harm of the inner demon, you have practiced hard for thousands of years-" She bit her lower lip and felt Su Jinzhou's gaze looking at her.
Ji Tang tilted his head and looked at him, "You have been practicing hard for a hundred years, isn't it just to ascend to heaven and become an immortal? The inner demon will not only not let you ascend to heaven, but will also make you fall into the devil! Then you will no longer be yourself, you will be crazy and mad all day long, and in the end you will even lose your life!"
Su Jinzhou turned sideways, his eyes filled with soothing intent, and whispered, "I know, I was just saying it casually. Why are you so anxious?"
How could she not be anxious?
This is not just a casual remark, it is clearly real!
Ji Tang: "Then Senior Brother, promise me that if you have a demon in your heart in the future, you must get rid of it completely!"
Her senior brother, who always responded to her requests, was silent now.
Ji Tang refused to give in and insisted on waiting for his answer.
Su Jinzhou's eyes shifted, looking at the candlelight outside through the wedding tent, "The red candle is already half burned, are you sleepy?"
Ji Tang was not even sleepy. She was so energetic that she could pull Su Jinzhou up and shake him for a thousand and eight hundred rounds. She couldn't fall asleep unless she woke this idiot up.
Ji Tang emphasized: "Senior Brother!"
Su Jinzhou had to look away and said firmly, "I can't."
"Why?!"
Su Jinzhou closed his eyes.
The moment before he closed his eyes, Ji Tang clearly saw the painful look on his face.
Jitang's hand holding Su Jinzhou's trembled.
After the night is over, I hold the boat with my arms wide open.
Jitang buried his face in his arms and heard his desperate whisper, "I can't lose you again."
At this moment, Jitang didn't want to care about anything anymore. He just wanted to tell him directly, I'm not dead, I'm still alive, you don't have to use your inner demons to see me.
But when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she gritted her teeth and held them back.
When Su Jinzhou was going through the thunder tribulation of ascension, the black shadow that appeared outside Su Jinzhou's retreat cave has been a thorn in her heart until now. It is so deep that it cannot be pulled out. It reminds her every minute and every second, making her nervous.
She had no idea what the man looked like or which sect he belonged to.
All she knew was that he was the mastermind behind the black-clad believers, and that he was so powerful that even she, who was about to transcend the tribulation and ascend to heaven, was no match for him.
It was through her that the man learned about the existence of Su Jinzhou, and then wanted to kill him when Su Jinzhou ascended to the thunder tribulation.
She tried her best to force the man to retreat temporarily, and it was then that she discovered that the black shadow was just a clone.
Her soul was severely damaged, and the Nightmare Soul Pill was shattered into pieces, leaving only a few fragments. What she defeated was only a clone of that person?
This realization made her shudder, and she would break out in a cold sweat every time she thought about it.
This was a bottomless black hole! Ji Tang was already deeply trapped in it, being pulled down continuously. She couldn't drag Su Jinzhou into it anymore.
Everyone thought she was dead, so she could continue her investigation in secret, recover her strength, and protect them at the same time.
Ji Tang lowered her head, trying her best to hide her emotions. Su Jinzhou was always perceptive, so she could only make an excuse: "Brother, I'm sleepy."
Su Jinzhou coaxed softly, "Go to sleep."
The two of them had different thoughts and hugged each other all night without closing their eyes.
This dream lasted longer than any other time. Ji Tang estimated that this night was the same time as the outside world. They really spent four hours in the dream, and adding the previous time, they had almost spent a full day.
After this night, they still hadn't woken up from the dream.
Ji Tang opened his eyes pretending to have just woken up when he heard Su Jinzhou get up.
She said good morning and when she got out of bed, her wedding gown had turned into a light hibiscus-colored long skirt.
Su Jinzhou seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his lips. "The sun is shining outside, shall we play a game of chess?"
Ji Tang was at a loss for words: "How did I offend my senior brother? He wanted to kill me without a single piece of armor left in the morning."
Su Jinzhou was the first to leave, leaving behind a sentence: "Why don't you call your husband to listen?"
Ji Tang had to do everything according to the dream, and felt somewhat controlled by him. Now he couldn't help but be more energetic and deliberately asked him: "Can I win the flag just by calling me husband?"
She saw Su Jinzhou pause as he walked out, and then walked faster.
It's like running away.
Jitang chuckled softly.
Although the Immortal Venerable did many things in his dream that he could not do in reality, he was still himself in the final analysis. Once Ji Tang took the initiative to tease him, he was a little at a loss.
She took a step back out of the bedroom, and the sea of flowers outside had turned back into a vast expanse of smoke.
A thousand years ago, there was no sacred peak called Qianli Yanbo. Perhaps Su Jinzhou subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate for them to get married and continue living in his master's Ganri Peak, so he directly changed to Qianli Yanbo.
Of course, Jitang in the dream would not feel anything wrong.
When she came out, Su Jinzhou was already sitting at the chess table. Ji Tang walked over and sat opposite him.
Ji Tang still wanted to watch his senior brother having fun, but Su Jinzhou lowered his eyes first, so Ji Tang gave up because he couldn't see clearly.
In the past, when the two of them played chess, Su Jinzhou always played the black pieces, and Ji Tang played the white pieces. This time, Su Jinzhou also sat on the black piece side first, waiting for Ji Tang to make his first move.
Ji Tang put down the chess piece, and his mind calmed down along with the chess game.
The game ended and Jitang lost.
Ji Tang no longer mentioned whether she was her husband or not. Su Jinzhou never gave her any handicap when playing chess with her, and she didn't like being given any handicap. Losing was losing, winning was winning, and she didn't care about winning by giving her any handicap.
She was fully focused on playing chess and hadn't been so calm and composed in a long time.
For her, it is a way to calm down, but for Su Jinzhou, it is a chronic poison. No matter how he lives in the dream, good or bad, it will become nourishment for the inner demon. The longer the time in the dream, the stronger the inner demon will be.
The white piece landed on the board in the wrong place.
Su Jinzhou raised his eyes, "You are upset."
Jitang remained noncommittal.
Su Jin Zhou stopped playing and asked her, "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Tang thought he was thinking about you, but he said, "Brother, I haven't asked you yet, what place did you get in the sect disciple ranking competition?"
At that time, she was urged by her master to go into seclusion before she could watch Quan Su Jinzhou's game. After she came out of seclusion, the incident with the Nightmare Clan happened. Although the two met again after that, they never had any in-depth conversation.
The sword she stabbed at Su Jinzhou was a hurdle that Ji Tang would never be able to get over. She never knew what her senior brother thought, and she didn't dare to ask, so she became a coward.
After that, she only dared to ask about his recent situation from other people, or hide in the dark and watch him from afar.
The two of them spent most of their time practicing. Ji Tang said that he gave up on ascension, but he still held his breath and climbed up with all his strength. The cultivation level of the two of them improved visibly, and the speed was so fast that it shocked the world of cultivation. In the end, they both reached the peak of the tribulation period, and no one could catch up with them.
Su Jinzhou seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Only made it into the top ten."
Ji Tang was surprised: "Tenth?" She could imagine the grand occasion when Su Jinzhou got tenth place, but unfortunately she didn't see it with her own eyes, which always made her feel regretful.
Ji Tang didn't care about the wrong move and continued playing chess, saying with a smile: "Congratulations, senior brother, for ranking tenth in the sect." This congratulations came a thousand years late.
Su Jinzhou's eyes were gentle.
The black piece landed lightly next to the white piece.
The two fingers holding the chess piece suddenly shook violently, and the surrounding chess pieces suddenly became chaotic.
Jitang's gaze followed Heizi, and he saw the fine black lines on his fingertips. The lines spread rapidly, following the fingertips, quickly covering the back of his hand and disappearing into his sleeves.
She immediately looked up, and in the blink of an eye, black lines emerged from the right side of Su Jinzhou's neck, crawling up his right face like a living thing, occupying the entire right cheek visibly.
Su Jinzhou stood up in a panic, his long sleeves messing up the chessboard, and the chess pieces rolled to the ground.
The inner demon appeared with great force. Su Jinzhou looked at Ji Tang with a look full of reluctance. After a glance, he suddenly turned his back.
Ji Tang frowned and said nothing.
Since he entered the dream, his inner demons have tormented him twice. This cannot go on any longer.
Ji Tang no longer hesitated and began to absorb the nightmare energy in the dream.
It is true that this dream is caused by the inner demon, but the nightmare energy that creates the dream comes from Ji Tang, and it is very easy for her to absorb this nightmare energy.
As the nightmare energy thinned, the dream began to become unstable.
The thousands of miles of smoke and waves were sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, covered with a layer of white mist, and soon began to sway left and right with the white mist.
Su Jinzhou shouted her name in a suppressed voice.
The next moment, the two were ejected from the dream.
When Ji Tang opened his eyes, he saw that Su Jinzhou still had his eyes tightly closed, with cold sweat running down his cheeks and jaw. His face was pale, and the black lines on the right side of his face were alternating between light and dark.
The inner demon disturbs the mind, and when it overtakes the host, that is when the host collapses. The inner demon is born from the host, and the higher the host's cultivation, the stronger the inner demon invasion. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for Su Jinzhou to fight against it.
Ji Tang looked at the nightmare aura on his body which had weakened a lot, and stretched out his hand slightly to continue absorbing it.
The inner demon is very clever and knows how to find the weakest point of the host to attack. The nightmare is the best breakthrough point for the inner demon to invade Su Jinzhou.
Ji Tang quickly absorbed all the nightmare energy from Su Jinzhou, and Su Jinzhou's tightly furrowed brows began to relax.
After that, Jitang couldn't help him and he had to rely on himself.
This time, she did not choose to integrate the absorbed nightmare energy into her body, but instead gathered it into a ball and temporarily placed it in her dantian.
These nightmare auras were enough to allow her to continue to improve her cultivation, but she did not do so.
If Su Jinzhou wakes up and sees that her cultivation has improved, he will immediately know that she has absorbed the nightmare energy from him. It would be strange if she is not knocked down the mountain by Su Jinzhou then.
Not only that, Jitang also channeled the nightmare energy he had previously absorbed into his dantian, and now his cultivation seemed to have returned to the late stage of enlightenment.
Su Jinzhou regarded her as a container for storing the nightmare energy of the Nightmare Lord. If her cultivation level could not improve, Su Jinzhou might want to use the nightmare energy in her body to enter his dream again.
If this continues, sooner or later he will not be able to suppress the demon in his heart. Instead of this, it is better to stop him from thinking about these nightmares and just assume that all the nightmares have been used up in this dream.
After doing all this, Ji Tang moved away from Su Jinzhou and sat cross-legged in another corner, waiting quietly for him to suppress his inner demons again.
