Chapter 247 The Movie King (18)
Gu Yanjing and Lu Lingjun walked quickly, but did not leave immediately. They shamelessly waited outside and asked the kitchen to pack a braised pork knuckle and a braised shrimp to take away. As for the money, they put it on Director Zhuang's account.
The manager went in to ask Director Zhuang for instructions. Director Zhuang heard that Gu Yanjing was not only shamelessly eating, but also wanting to pack the leftovers. He wanted to go out and kick the man.
His victory celebration was ruined.
However, he was too weak to defeat His Majesty the Vermilion Bird, so he could only grit his teeth and send Gu Yanjing another plate of broth, instructing the chef to prepare it quickly and send the man away.
Gu Yanjing didn't care, as long as there was food. While waiting outside, she saw He Zigui carrying Bai Xi and running out in a hurry.
I guess they're going to the hospital.
After all, Bai Xi was groaning in pain, but the Vermilion Bird Fire was inexhaustible. As long as Gu Yanjing didn't withdraw it, Bai Xi wouldn't be able to get rid of the burning sensation.
"I have a feeling someone will come looking for me tonight." Gu Yanjing said, with a lollipop in his mouth—it was cola-flavored, which he liked.
"Then eat more, we have to deal with those people tonight." Lu Lingjun folded the candy wrappers that Gu Yanjing had left over, skillfully turning them into a small origami crane.
In that chuunibyou (delusional) world, Lu Lingjun learned many skills in order to pursue Gu Yanjing, such as folding stars, folding origami cranes, and changing to a very melancholic QQ ID.
"This plane is not simple. I just saw death energy on He Zigui."
The male protagonist, favored by the destiny of this world, is actually on the verge of death; such a thing would be unthinkable in other worlds.
After all, usually only the female lead can kill the male lead, or powerful beings like Gu Yanjing and Lu Lingjun who transcend the level of another plane can directly crush him.
Otherwise, the male protagonist would basically be invincible in this world.
However, this time, He Zigui, who had a smooth life in his first life, was unexpectedly reborn. After being reborn, his luck seemed to have weakened and become very unstable.
He did it several more times, and even luck couldn't protect him anymore.
"Should we save him?" It's quite troublesome if the male lead dies.
"No need. They're going to die sooner or later anyway. This little troublemaker might just bite back if we save her." Gu Yanjing chewed up the lollipop in his mouth, stood up, and together with Lu Lingjun, took the three dishes handed over by the manager. He waved his hand and turned to leave.
The two of them didn't have a car, so after thinking about it, they simply flew away.
There's no such thing as a flight restriction here, but a dozen red lights flew over from a distance, surrounding the two people and forcing them to stop.
Gu Yanjing did not force a breakout, and cooperated by stopping with Lu Lingjun on the rooftop of a building.
The place is quite spacious.
"Your Majesty, the Vermilion Bird." A dozen or so men in black, wearing black trench coats and masks, covered themselves up completely, making it impossible to discern any of their personal characteristics.
"Something that can't be shown to anyone." Gu Yanjing shoved the takeout box in his hand into Lu Lingjun's hand, flames rising from his body, making him look extremely fierce.
I hadn't even finished my meal when this person showed up. It's so annoying, I just want to strangle them.
"Your Majesty's presence makes me restless and unable to eat or sleep." Seeing Gu Yan's shocked expression, the leading man raised his hand, ordering the dozen or so people following behind him to quickly retreat ten meters.
“Stolen rights, do you like them?” Flames shot from Gu Yanjing’s fingertips, instantly burning the masks off the faces of the dozen or so people.
The flames even smugly ignited the group's hair, and upon seeing their bald heads, they quickly slipped back into Gu Yanjing's hands, rubbing against her ingratiatingly.
"Of course, I like it." Zhe Yang raised her hand to extinguish the flames that were causing trouble on her head, and took off the mask ear loops that were no longer of any use.
"So, just because you like something, you want to possess it forever, and you want to kill me?" Gu Yan smiled gently, his smile becoming very warm, just like the Vermilion Bird Emperor he faced in the celestial realm, who had always taught and spurred him on.
However, everything is irreversible. Human nature is always greedy and insatiable. He enjoyed the power of the Vermilion Bird Palace for seven decades, and now, he will never let go.
The only way to solve all of this is to kill Gu Yanjing.
Once Gu Yanjing dies, no one will be able to touch his Vermilion Bird Palace anymore.
No one calls him a thief who stole the throne from the Vermilion Bird Palace anymore.
"Your Majesty knows that I always have to give it my all."
Even if he dies here today, it's still better than living in constant fear.
"Perfect timing. You offended my brother a thousand years ago, and you also used my Vermilion Bird Palace as a cover. We can settle those scores together now."
At this point, Gu Yanjing released the flames between his fingers and grasped the sword that Lu Lingjun had forged for him.
This is a case that needs to be settled.
Gu Yanjing and Zhuo Yang moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye they had already flown into the air. The people Zhuo Yang brought wanted to help him, but they were stopped by Lu Lingjun with a sword.
"Your Majesty is settling accounts with Yang. You have no right to interfere." In this world, not everyone is qualified to die under his beloved Jiaojiao's sword.
"Your Majesty Lingjun, with these *beings* trapped by the Vermilion Bird, do you really intend to be the Vermilion Bird's lackeys for the rest of your life?" The man in black stared at the sword blocking their way, his face grim.
"Who said that all my power is because I'm trapped by His Majesty the Vermilion Bird's side? Any immortal who's reached a certain age knows that I'm actually coveting the position of Empress of the Vermilion Bird Palace."
Lu Lingjun stood with his hands behind his back, looking incredibly pretentious and stylish.
However, the way he spoke was so sentimental and drawn-out that he clearly wasn't a good person.
Especially when she said this, she looked up and glanced at Gu Yanjing's slender waist.
The throne is nothing compared to the fragrance of his beloved.
"Your Majesty, are you willing to abandon the Phoenix Clan just for the sake of the Vermilion Bird? Now, because of Your Majesty, the Phoenix Clan is being forced into a difficult situation by Emperor Ye. Doesn't Your Majesty feel any pain?" The man in black knew he was no match for Lu Lingjun, but their purpose was simply to restrain Lu Lingjun.
"If a certain immortal clan will decline because it loses its leader, then it's because they are too weak and lack the ability to survive on their own. There's no need to save such an immortal clan."
Besides, he had already paid back what he owed the Phoenix Clan, and he had also paid back what he owed his parents.
"Your Majesty Lingjun is truly heartless. I wonder if the remaining immortals of the Phoenix Clan will feel chilled upon hearing Your Majesty's words."
The man in black sneered, looking at the crimson sunset clouds that had painted the dark night sky above, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Gu Yan was astonished by that crimson divine power.
That azure divine power is for planting seedlings.
However, judging from the commotion in the sky, it was clear at a glance that Gu Yanjing was struggling to breathe under the weight of the seedlings.
"Whether they are disheartened or not is none of my business. I am now the Empress of the Vermilion Bird Palace, and I have long since severed all ties with the Phoenix Clan." Lu Lingjun's smile slowly faded, replaced by a chilling aura.
The men in black suddenly tensed up, trying to form a battle formation. However, the green-clad figure that had been standing on the ground instantly transformed into an ice-blue phoenix, its enormous wings radiating cold air as it fiercely lashed out at them.
The formation formed by the dozen or so people was broken in no time. Countless solid ice rose from beneath their feet, freezing them into a dozen ice sculptures in minutes.
"It's over. I finally don't have to talk to you idiots anymore. They can't even have a conversation. They're useless."
Lu Lingjun glanced at the dozen or so ice sculptures on the ground, turned around, flew into the sky, and caught Gu Yanjing.
He waited for a long time, just waiting for the battle above to end.
He could crush these little things in a minute.
Gu Yanjing stood on his back, and the thousand sword blades flew towards the seedlings like a tornado, pinning the helpless seedlings to the ground. Gu Yanjing himself raised his hand and conjured the Vermilion Bird Bow, which had been retrieved a few days ago.
With slender fingers drawing back the longbow, crimson flames transformed into feathered arrows, and at the full moon, Gu Yan was startled and released his grip.
The crimson arrow flew swiftly, leaving a bright red streak in the night sky, and finally headed straight for the seedling's heart.
In the face of life and death, a fiery red spear deflected Zhuque's arrow, saving Zhu Yang, who had resigned herself to her fate.
The woman raised her hand and took the gun that was nailed to the ground back.
Dressed in fiery red, she resembled a heroine from an anime, beautiful and dignified.
"Your Majesty, Zhuo Yang is my man. Please give me face and let this matter go."
Ye Anjing held the gun, his body surging with spiritual energy.
"Your face? You still have face in front of me? I'll settle all the scores with you over all these years. You probably think I don't know about how you and Yang plotted against my brother a thousand years ago, don't you?"
Zhuque narrowed her eyes, looking at Ye Anjing with an extreme sense of danger in them.
He drew his longbow again, and the flames at his fingertips condensed into three crimson arrows, aimed directly at Ye Anjing and Zhe Yang.
More swords surged out from behind, instantly rushing towards Ye Anjing.
Gu Yanjing's cultivation level was so low that he used to get beaten up by Ye Anjing when he was young, but things are different now.
He is no longer the Suzaku he was as a child.
He was the Great Emperor of the South.
Ye Anjing met Gu Yanjing's dangerous gaze and parried with his spear.
She also used a gun; she loved the battlefield and the feeling of sweeping through enemy lines.
But later, she fell in love with Gu Yanci, so when Gu Yanci used a sword, she also learned to use a sword.
Even though she knew it wasn't right for her, she was willing to learn and discipline herself for the sake of the person she liked.
However, Gu Yanci actually rejected him for a male fox spirit. Even if it meant death, even if it meant losing his position as the Heavenly Emperor, he still wanted that male fox spirit.
Oh.
Then what sword does she need to use?
It's best to break it sooner rather than later.
Gu Yan was shocked to see his arrow blocked, and kicked Lu Lingjun at his feet.
Lu Lingjun understood and conjured a block of ice at Gu Yanjing's feet to support him.
He flew around once, transformed back into human form, stood beside Gu Yanjing, and then took the Vermilion Bird Bow from Gu Yanjing's hand.
This bow was a coming-of-age gift from Zhuque.
When he returned from his tribulations in the mortal realm and held his coming-of-age ceremony, Zhuque avoided him and went into seclusion for a month. He wondered why Zhuque, who had always been clinging to him, would suddenly avoid him.
Until his wedding day, Zhuque personally presented him with a wooden box taller than himself.
"Brother Lingjun, this is a bow I'm giving you. See if you like it." At that moment, Zhuque was overjoyed, and her eyes were filled with nothing but him.
At that moment, he eagerly opened the box that Zhuque had sent, and then the smile on his face froze.
Inside are the bones of the Vermilion Bird, transformed into a longbow.
Those were his favorite bones.
His youngest son was most afraid of pain, yet he was willing to have his bones melted for him.
Thinking of this, Lu Lingjun couldn't help but smile, and instantly five ice arrows, wrapped in the flames of the Vermilion Bird, were condensed in his hand and released in an instant.
His archery skills were better than Zhuque's. In one of his past lives, he was a general in the human world who died on the battlefield from an arrow piercing his heart.
It is probably because the Vermilion Bird saw the tragic state of his past life that it gave him this longbow made from his own bones.
This is his Vermilion Bird, his beloved.
Ye Anjing intercepted the first wave of arrows, but Gu Yanjing now flew alone on his sword, forcing Ye Anjing away.
Lu Lingjun seized the opportunity to launch an ice arrow, this time aimed directly at Yang's heart.
The light in Zhuo Yang's eyes faded at the last moment.
He worked diligently his whole life, but ultimately died because of his own greed.
If he had listened to his advice, would the outcome have been different?
Ye Anjing turned around, saw that Yang was dead, and realized that there was no need for him to stay here anymore, otherwise he would probably be killed by the couple. He turned around, his spear slicing through the void, and left.
Gu Yanjing looked at the seedling, which was completely dead, and then raised his hand to retrieve the sword from the ground.
Lu Lingjun also put away his longbow, looked at the dimensional rift that Ye Anjing had torn open, and sighed: "What a pity, we could have kept him here today."
"It's alright, leave this person to my brother to deal with." Gu Yan waved his hand and looked down.
Then, I saw a dozen or so ice stakes, and a few packed dishes on the ground.
Yes, it's upside down.
It looks like it's been spilled.
"My flesh."
"I was wrong, I didn't mean it, I'll go back and make it up to you." Lu Lingjun followed Gu Yanjing's gaze downwards, and then froze.
It all came from the heart in an instant.
He didn't really notice at the time; he was just thinking that Jiaojiao was almost done with her call and he needed to go pick her up.
The result was...emmmm.
"How will you compensate me?" Gu Yanjing was in a bad mood. He casually wiped out the dozen or so ice stakes and flipped over to land on the rooftop where he had started.
"How about I cook for you?" Lu Lingjun bent down, picked up the takeout box from the ground, and asked Gu Yanjing with a smile.
"Why do you always try to poison me? Ha, is it because you want your half heart back? Just say so if you want it, I don't need your half." He still had a whole heart.
However, because it was given to him by Gu Yuan, Gu Yanjing was worried and hadn't used it yet.
"Is it wrong for me to wash your hands and cook for you?" Lu Lingju felt completely innocent.
"No, it's not your fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't be alive. You should have just poisoned me."
Damn it, doesn't this guy have any self-awareness about his own nature? Why does he like making drugs so much?
