Chapter 44: Forty-Four Slashes "I am naturally your husband"...
Luo Mingshu took two steps back as Xie Changming approached.
Xie Changming's palm was warm, and as he held her forehead, it seemed to have a strange suction force, making her forehead even hotter.
"You—" Luo Mingshu was about to raise her hand to push Xie Changming away, but his body had already covered hers.
"Don't move," he said to Luo Mingshu, bowing his head.
"What kind of spell did you cast on me?" Luo Mingshu looked up at Xie Changming and asked with a frown.
Xie Changming was completely innocent; he just wanted to come and see Luo Mingshu.
“It’s not magic.” Xie Changming released his hand, but Luo Mingshu’s body went limp and she almost fell to the ground.
Xie Changming reached out and helped her up. He carefully observed Luo Mingshu's forehead and said, "You're going to grow horns."
His tone was very serious, and since Luo Mingshu was too weak to push him away, she could only ask, "How could I have horns?"
"Because you are—" Xie Changming was about to say Luo Mingshu's race, but at this moment, the green bracelet flew out of Luo Mingshu's spatial pouch again.
In desperation, the system didn't know what words to come up with, so it rushed out and only made a loud "gurgle" sound.
Luo Mingshu and Xie Changming froze, the green bracelet flitting about, emitting urgent cries: "Host—Host—"
For a moment, he couldn't think of what to say to interrupt Xie Changming. The timing was too coincidental. Xie Changming was planning to tell Luo Mingshu the truth in the Misty Star Sea. If he was outside, his soul could still connect to the heaven or receive instructions, but the Misty Star Sea would cut off the connection between his soul and the outside world.
Xie Changming sneered. He had long disliked this system. So he tossed the green bracelet into Manman's hand and said, "Take it out and play by yourself."
Slowly, it began to understand. Holding the green bracelet, it leisurely walked out. Since the system was now inside it, the poor system could no longer interrupt it with human voice.
Luo Mingshu felt better now. She touched her forehead and asked curiously, "What am I?"
She found this Supreme Immortal Lord strange. Although his appearance didn't quite fit her aesthetic, she was surprisingly quite pleasing to the eye.
“You are a dragon,” Xie Changming said to her. “Yinglong, one of the four ancient demon gods, the last pure demon god bloodline that has been passed down since ten thousand years ago.”
"Oh." Luo Mingshu's mind was a bit confused, and she responded blankly. After a moment of silence, she pointed to her nose and said in surprise, "How could I be Yinglong?"
If she is Yinglong, then why is she still only a Nascent Soul cultivator after so long? Shouldn't she be kicking the human realm and punching the demon realm to unify the cultivation world by now?
"Yes." Xie Changming said to Luo Mingshu. He lowered his head and carefully examined Luo Mingshu's forehead, which was still emitting a faint light. "You're about to grow horns."
"Why am I..." Luo Mingshu frowned and looked at Xie Changming with confusion, "My forehead became like this after I saw you."
"What do you think?" Xie Changming lowered his eyes, stared at her, and said through gritted teeth.
He didn't know why Luo Mingshu could forget him—even now she still hadn't remembered him; her blood was reacting, but her mind still couldn't recall.
After a long pause, he sighed softly, "Wait until you remember it yourself."
“You…” Luo Mingshu pressed his shoulder and analyzed carefully, “Judging from the state of Misty Star Sea, you must have abandoned me. You scumbag.”
“No—” Xie Changming said.
His hand was still pressing on Luo Mingshu's forehead, as if something of jade was poking his fingertip. The dragon horn had indeed grown out.
Xie Changming did not understand how Yinglong grew, but the more powerful the race, the more fragile they were when they were young. Some races even had to go through three or four stages in their lifetime before they could grow into a complete form and gain all their strength. This might be the fairness of God. No one had a smooth sailing from the beginning.
The process of the dragon horns growing was not painful. Luo Mingshu just frowned as she lay in Xie Changming's arms, and pale purple jade dragon horns slowly emerged from her forehead.
However, the dragon horn is very small, and it seems that it has only just sprouted. It will take some time before it fully grows out.
Luo Mingshu raised her hand and touched her temple, feeling a little unfamiliar. Just like that... this temple just grew out like that?
“I…” She stood up from Xie Changming’s embrace and went to the crystal mirror. The dragon horns were adorable, with small, pale purple tips peeking out, more like hair ornaments adorning her temples. 『Pianozl』
"Who exactly are you?" Luo Mingshu asked earnestly, looking at the Supreme Immortal Lord before her.
"Of course I am your husband." Xie Changming said this with a matter of course.
"I am a dragon. Even you can see it, but I don't know it myself." Luo Mingshu muttered to himself, "Then why is my cultivation still so low?"
"You still need to go through growth and breakthroughs before you can reach the next stage." Xie Changming also had some understanding of the advancement methods of some demon races.
“Me?” Luo Mingshu was taken aback for a moment, then said softly, “No wonder.”
No wonder she couldn't find her race even after searching the entire Demon Realm, because the Demon God is neither demon nor human, and there would be no record of her race in the Demon Realm. But why did she lose her memory and come to the Yu Ling Sect?
"Was it you who dumped me at the Yuling Sect?" Luo Mingshu asked.
Xie Changming shook his head: "It wasn't me."
"Do you know why I lost my memory?" Luo Mingshu wanted to know the answer.
"I don't know." This is also what Xie Changming is confused about.
He had originally planned to take her with him, and raising another fish back in the Demon Realm wouldn't be a bad idea. However, when he went to look for her after finishing his own business, she was gone—which led him to believe for a long time that she had abandoned him.
Of course, after seeing the character design of the Supreme Immortal Lord in the Misty Star Sea, he realized that perhaps in Luo Mingshu's eyes, he was the one who had abandoned her.
This was not a pleasant memory, and Luo Mingshu herself did not want to recall it. She was simply curious about her identity: "Me, Yinglong, are you sure?"
"Yes." There was no doubt about that, Xie Changming nodded to her.
"How could this be!" Luo Mingshu slapped her forehead in confusion. "So what if I am Yinglong? I am still a Nascent Soul cultivator. I can't find the person I want to find, and I don't even know how to advance to the next level."
Luo Mingshu had been feeling somewhat lost, but she was carefree and enjoyed life as it came. Now, she couldn't understand such a complicated question: "There shouldn't be any other Yinglong left in this world, right? Even the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm has returned the Yinglong bloodline to the Yinglong clan. Even if you tell me I am an Yinglong, what can I do?"
She can only do what she wants to do, just like she does now.
"I can accompany you—" Xie Changming almost let slip that he was still pretending to be the Supreme Immortal Lord. The characters in this exploration scene would not say something like "I can accompany you to find it."
"I think I knew you before I lost my memory, or rather, I knew your face." Luo Mingshu looked at the ordinary face of the Supreme Immortal Lord in front of him and said softly, "But I forgot you. As for our previous memories, you don't have to tell me. I want to remember them myself. I only trust my own memory."
“You might be very important to me.” Luo Mingshu and Xie Changming looked at each other. “I will find the answer myself.”
Xie Changming looked at her and thought, yes, this is her.
So he nodded.
Luo Mingshu accepted this fact, or perhaps she was arrogant from the beginning and thought she must be the most unique cultivator in the world, so after learning that her race was Yinglong, her surprise did not last long.
"I'm Yinglong now, hehe." She thought for a moment, then leaned back on the couch and began to imagine her bright future. "Once I get out, not to mention the human realm, at least I can run rampant in the demon realm."
"It's best to keep your identity a secret for now," Xie Changming said to Luo Mingshu. "That green bracelet is not good for you."
He realized that this was the second time the system had interrupted him when he was about to tell the truth; it seemed that the system did not want Luo Mingshu to know her true identity.
This matter is suspicious and needs further investigation.
Luo Mingshu nodded, then touched the tiny dragon horn that had just sprouted on her forehead. She asked Xie Changming, "How can I hide it?"
Xie Changming looked into her eyes, placed his large hand on her forehead, and where Luo Mingshu couldn't see, a dark light flashed by, covering Luo Mingshu's forehead and hiding her little dragon horns.
This hidden spell can only be seen through by those of the same level as Xie Changming.
"It's no use trying to please me now," Luo Mingshu said, looking at his face. "My goal is to unify the Heavenly Realm and drive you down."
"Mm." Xie Changming was willing to play this role-playing game with her—his goal from the very beginning of entering this exploration scene was to play with Luo Mingshu and make her happy.
"Hmm what?" Luo Mingshu was angry. Her goal was to provoke the Supreme Immortal Lord into taking action, but she didn't expect him to be so good-tempered. He not only told her his true identity but also helped her hide the dragon horn. Now that she said she wanted to remove him from the stage, he actually agreed.
"I wanted to kill you from the very beginning." Luo Mingshu did not hide her murderous intent. If someone dared to deliberately abandon her for a thousand years and then be ungrateful, she would definitely seek revenge.
"Then kill them," Xie Changming said. Anyway, this was just his disguise, so the sooner he got rid of it, the sooner he would have peace and quiet.
Luo Mingshu has always been someone who responds better to gentleness than force: "Then I won't kill you now. With your high reputation, I won't get any credit for killing you."
Xie Changming asked her, "Whether it's murder or arson, you can do either."
Luo Mingshu: "..." Do I really have to be this obedient, Supreme Immortal Lord!
“I don’t need your help.” Luo Mingshu raised her hand, her fingertips tracing a line from his chin to his Adam’s apple. “Just wash your neck and go back to wait for me, that’s all.”
Xie Changming lowered his eyes, grabbed her wrist, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was low and deep: "No."
"No what? No?" Luo Mingshu looked up at him.
"I want to see how you take me down." He said this quite frankly.
"How can I do anything if you're following me?" Luo Mingshu asked.
At this moment, Xie Changming seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration: "I heard that you lost a security captain before."
"Yes." Luo Mingshu felt a surge of hatred whenever she thought of him. That devil actually dared to abandon his teammates and solo the game.
“I can impersonate him and see how you do it,” Xie Changming said.
