Chapter 334 Extra Chapter 15: IF Path [Cultivation Arc]
Jiang Gu's explanation for the damaged palace was that he lost control while practicing magic. After all, there had been precedents before, although they were from a long time ago when he was a teenager—back then he was full of curiosity about the entire Upper Realm and liked to try all sorts of new magic.
Of course, when Ling Yin asked, he answered perfectly, saying that he had not yet adapted to his body from his teenage years.
Ling Yin expressed his understanding and told him that his body would return to its youthful state in a few years, and that he should be careful to exercise restraint.
Jiang Gu's expression went blank for a moment.
control?
"I heard that a new celestial official has come to your palace, and you value him highly." Ling Yin said very tactfully, subtly reminding him, "Although you two are close, there are so many empty rooms in the palace. You prefer quiet, so there's no need to let him live so close. If you really like him, you should give him a proper title."
"Mother, you've misunderstood," Jiang Gu retorted instinctively. "I kept him in the palace only because—"
Ling Yin waited for his next words.
Jiang Gu remembered that she was very sensitive to matters related to the Divine Gate, and Wei Feng's heavy aura of chaos was not acceptable to immortals, so he had no choice but to awkwardly change the subject: "It's just to relieve boredom."
Ling Yin's gaze towards him held a hint of reproach: "Yao Yan?"
"I have matters to attend to in the palace, so I'll head back now." Jiang Gu turned and left without even offering a greeting.
Ling Yin became increasingly puzzled: "Why is this child so absent-minded? Could it be that he has been bewitched by some demon?"
“He’s always been shrewd; it’s impossible,” Yao Shuo said. “He’s probably too shy to admit he likes someone.”
“Look at how much of his immortal spirit he’s squandered. If he truly loves her, he should marry her. What kind of behavior is this, this nameless and unrecognizable affair?” Ling Yin frowned. “Besides, is our son the kind of person who would succumb to lust?”
Of course not. Yao Yan is known for being ruthless and heartless; how could he suddenly change his nature?
Yao Shuo said, "That makes sense. Let's go and see who this person is when we have time."

Jiang Gu had just returned to his newly repaired bedchamber when Wei Feng appeared behind him like a ghost, wrapped himself around him, lowered his head and bit his neck, licking away a piece of immortal spirit and leaving behind a ring of bloody teeth marks.
Jiang Gu raised his hand to erase the mark and said coldly, "You've made too much of a fuss this time. My mother and the others are already suspicious."
Wei Feng smacked his lips, still wanting more, and pondered where to start next. Hearing this, he said, "If they dare to come, I'll kill them."
"You dare?" Jiang Gu's eyes sharpened.
Wei Feng said with dissatisfaction, "You won't let those people be killed, and you won't let these people be killed either, but you only let them kill me. Jiang Gu, you're not being fair."
Jiang Gu almost laughed out of anger: "They are my parents."
Wei Feng vaguely knew that his parents were very important, after all, Jiang Gu didn't want his heart back then, and he even wanted Jiang Gu to be his parents.
"Alright." Wei Feng seemed to have no bottom line, and he was even more agreeable after eating. "As long as they don't come to kill me, I won't do anything."
Jiang Gu pushed him away, sat down in the chair, and asked him, "Do you remember everything that happened when you were still a wisp of mist?"
“Of course.” Wei Feng liked to stick close to him and walked over to sit directly on the table. “For a while, you chatted with me every night, took me to the markets and lantern festivals in the lower realm, and even taught me how to break the magic array to sneak out and play… Also, after you ascended, you even tried to kill me with the Spirit Leakage Array.”
Jiang Gu said, "Back then, I thought you were just a mass of consciousness that I created."
"Even so, you can't just erase me like that." Wei Feng said angrily, "I will never forgive you, you heartless man."
Jiang Gu twitched his lips: "In the end, you committed suicide by running into the center of the magic array."
"That's because you broke my heart," Wei Feng accused righteously. "You were the one who rejected me first."
Jiang Gu snorted coldly: "Soliciting nonsense."
Wei Feng looked at him angrily: "What do you mean? Don't resort to strange words just because you can't win an argument."
Jiang Gu: "...Never mind."
Wei Feng said smugly, "Give me another bite of immortal spirit, and we'll call it even."
“No.” Jiang Gu refused him. “They could come at any time. You should leave the Upper Realm for a while.”
Wei Feng was stunned for a moment: "You don't want me anymore?"
Jiang Gu paused for a moment: "I'm just letting you hide for now, besides, we both have the symbiotic technique."
"Liar," Wei Feng said. "I'm not leaving."
“If you are discovered, the consequences will be very serious,” Jiang Gu said. “Not only will we be unable to enter the Divine Gate, but we may also be exiled to the lower realm.”
He is undergoing another tribulation.
There couldn't be anything more troublesome than this.
Wei Feng laughed and said, "Anyway, I don't want to go back to the Divine Gate. The lower realm is no different to me. It's you who are very important."
Jiang Gu sighed almost imperceptibly: "Then what do you want?"
Wei Feng followed his example, lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then yawned sleepily.
Jiang Gu: "..."
This person wasn't thinking at all.
"What exactly do you want?" Jiang Gu decided to take pity on him and offer him some ideas to threaten him.
"I want you," Wei Feng said bluntly.
Jiang Gu frowned: "Be more specific."
"Just like now, eating and sleeping together, with an endless supply of immortal spirits, it would be best if we became Daoist partners and stayed together forever," Wei Feng said.
Jiang Gu said, "It's unlikely."
“Hmm, I know.” Wei Feng lowered his head in frustration. “I’ve looked at countless possibilities for our future. There’s only one time when we can truly be together. The rest of the time we’re always fighting. It’s either you die or I live. Most of the time we’ve been annihilated together within the Divine Gate, completely returning to nothingness.”
Jiang Gu was stunned: "So you cast a symbiotic spell on me?"
“Otherwise, given your personality, you would definitely fight with me, and that’s how our feud started,” Wei Feng said.
At first, he didn't really care whether he became enemies with Jiang Gu or not. He simply thought the immortal spirit on Jiang Gu's body tasted delicious. His vision of the future was probably just out of momentary curiosity. If Jiang Gu fought with him, he would definitely beat him up. But he happened to see the only happy ending in the future, so he couldn't help but envy, expect, and want to have it. He wanted to be the only path to survival among countless dead ends.
Therefore, he no longer wanted to stay in the Divine Gate, waiting for his power to grow stronger before going out to fight Jiang Gu to the death, or waiting for Jiang Gu to enter the Divine Gate so that they could perish together. Instead, he tried every means to escape the Divine Gate, even though he was on the verge of death, he still wanted to find Jiang Gu. He tried his best to suppress his instincts and not do anything that would make their relationship irreparable. He even clumsily imitated that "successful person" in order to make Jiang Gu like him.
Unfortunately, the results were minimal.
Fortunately, his Jiang Gu was also very clever.
"Only once?" Consultant Jiang asked him. "You've seen how our story will end?"
Wei Feng shook his head: "I can't see my own future clearly, and neither can yours."
Jiang Gu said, "If they can do it, why can't we? Wei Feng, you underestimate yourself too much."
Wei Feng frowned and said, "I think the problem lies with you."
Jiang Gu: "?"
“If you were nicer to me, I definitely wouldn’t fight you. You’re so good-looking,” Wei Feng said earnestly. “Of all the possibilities of mutual destruction, if you had smiled at me the first time we met, I would have dismantled the Divine Gate and given it to you as the gate to your Immortal Palace.”
Jiang Gu replied indifferently, "Dream on."
Wei Feng nodded in agreement: "So all of this is thanks to my efforts."
Jiang Gu said, "Trying hard to devour my immortal spirit?"
Wei Feng was taken aback: "The only thing I have about you that's worth enduring humiliation for."
Jiang Gu was taken aback: "Do you know what 'bearing humiliation and carrying heavy burdens' means?"
Wei Feng was so angry he was practically fuming: "Jiang Gu!"
Jiang Gu curled the corners of his lips and said nonchalantly, "Fool."
Did you just laugh?
"No."
"I saw it! You smiled, and it looked so beautiful. Smile for me again."
"...I think you're tired of living."
"Jiang Gu, I want to live with you."
"Let's get down to business. Do you have a way to get back to the Divine Gate...?"
"Jiang Gu, please smile again, or I'll beg you."
"roll."
——
Wei Feng's frankness was unexpected by Jiang Gu, but he quickly came up with a corresponding strategy. He was not afraid of what Wei Feng wanted, but he was afraid that Wei Feng's ideas were too simple and he didn't want anything. Now, even if Wei Feng wanted "Jiang Gu", he was confident that he could make him achieve his goal within a controllable range.
Besides, he didn't think he was any worse than the other "Jiang Gu". It was just that he had such a hard time overcoming a small love tribulation. He was simply a useless person.
Wei Feng was assigned by him to the Mi Hua Realm at the end of the Hua Yu Demon State.
Wei Feng, carrying a storage bag full of immortal spirits and two magical treasures from the Endless Cave, left without the slightest hesitation. Before leaving, he still threatened him: "If you dare to use me to seal the Divine Gate, I will crawl out and perish with you. But then again, I have tried my best. If you still can't save our lives, then you are truly worlds apart from others."
Jiang Gu's forehead veins bulged: "Shut up."
During his time in the Upper Heaven, this fellow concealed himself and wandered around, secretly reading many of Yuan Yao's storybooks. He became much more fluent in his speech, but also became exceptionally irritating, not as endearing as when he first started uttering each word carefully.
Wei Feng weighed the immortal spirit in his hand, opened his arms and hugged him: "You need to cultivate hard and replenish yourself, so that I will have an endless supply of immortal spirits to eat."
For the first time in his life, Jiang Gu felt a kind of rebellious mentality towards his efforts in cultivation: "Let go."
Wei Feng sighed, raised his head and met Jiang Gu's cold gaze. Jiang Gu was wondering what kind of trouble he was up to when Wei Feng suddenly lowered his head and covered his lips with his. The soft and warm touch made Jiang Gu stiffen for a moment.
Before he could react, Wei Feng had already vanished in a flash.
Jiang Gu wiped his mouth with a look of disgust, then suddenly realized the weight was off. He reached into his sleeve and took out the extra thing, then froze on the spot.
It was his own celestial spirit, which filled three storage bags to the brim.
There was also a note written in a haphazard, illegible hand by Zhang Weifeng:
You must come find me.
Jiang Gu stared at the note for a long time, then disgustedly stuffed it back into his sleeve.
The characters are written like a dog crawled out.
It's really ugly.
