Chapter 262 The Martial World (Part 10)
"Ha, look at yourself now, do you even look like a prostitute anymore?" Gu Yanjing almost laughed out of anger.
“The Vermilion Bird has changed too, hasn’t it?” Lu Lingjun grasped Gu Yanjing’s hand, which was resting on the table, and rubbed it.
Gu Yanjing fell silent.
He did indeed undergo a drastic change in temperament.
"After you finish eating, I'll take you for a walk. The Heavenly Realm has changed a lot these days." Lu Lingjun held onto Gu Yanjing's hand tightly.
"I know, I noticed it when I came back last time," Gu Yan replied, somewhat reluctant to go out.
"You've definitely never really gone out to have fun. There's a new Marriage Tree in the Heavenly Realm, a peach tree that has attained enlightenment. I've heard that as long as you get a peach blossom from the tree spirit under it, you'll eventually become a couple."
Lu Lingjun persisted in his persuasion.
"Aren't we family now?" They need a little tree spirit to prove it.
"It's different, Suzaku, you know that in your heart." The sleeping servants would attack every few days.
"I'm just liking you in my own way." Gu Yan's laughter was perfectly normal, without any hint of forcedness.
"Heh, I'm truly flattered by this approach," Lu Lingjun sighed.
In the end, Gu Yanjing was taken out of the house by Lu Lingjun. He had originally planned to stay at home and sleep, and he had already chosen a place.
However, walking under the peach tree, Gu Yanjing was still surprised.
The celestial realm was engulfed in smoke and war, but the island where the peach tree stood remained peaceful, untouched by the flames of war.
In fact, there are quite a few people who come here in groups.
"There are demons here."
On the way here, Gu Yanjing saw quite a few demons.
When his instincts on the battlefield of the Demon Realm made him want to attack those demons, Lu Lingjun stopped him.
"This tree is the peach tree where Gu Qiqi and Qianyan pledged their love. It was originally just a tree spirit from the Changling Continent. A few days ago, Gu Qiqi brought it to the Heavenly Realm and planted it here. This place is protected by Gu Qiqi's Heavenly Dao power, so no demons can come here."
Lu Lingjun held Gu Yanjing's hand and explained gently.
"It's actually the peach tree where Gu Qiqi and Qianyan pledged their love!" Gu Yan was surprised to hear this, his gaze falling on the huge tree, his eyes momentarily turning dangerous.
"Stop fooling around. If you move this tree now, Gu Qiqi might wake up. In that case, Gu Yuan's many elaborate plans will probably all go to waste."
Lu Lingjun smiled and pulled Gu Yanjing into his arms.
Sigh, other people's Daoist partners are all gentle and tender, how come his has become so fierce and menacing?
"Awake? What's Gu Qiqi's condition now?" Gu Yanjing keenly caught several key points in this sentence: "Also, what is Gu Yuan's plan? Is he plotting against the Heavenly Dao?"
“Yes, Gu Qiqi is asleep, and her consciousness has not yet returned. Gu Yuan’s schemes are indeed against the Heavenly Dao.” Lu Lingjun nodded: “My Zhuque is really smart.”
"It seems that Heaven will not tolerate Gu Yuan." Gu Yan rubbed his temples in surprise.
What a turbulent time this is! His elder brother hasn't even reclaimed the throne yet, the Heavenly Realm is in complete chaos, and Gu Yuan is at odds with the Heavenly Dao again. It seems Gu Yanqing made some kind of deal, as even Gu Qiqi has been sealed off, all to help Gu Yuan in his actions.
"Yes, the Heavenly Lord and the Dao Lord should have always guarded the Heavenly Palace, free from the seven emotions and six desires, and be impartial and selfless. However, they have all developed hearts and feelings, so the Heavenly Dao naturally cannot tolerate them."
Lu Lingjun paused for a moment before speaking again, his tone tinged with gossip: "I heard that when the Heavenly Dao asked Gu Yuan whether he was willing to abandon Shisanqiu and continue to be the Heavenly Lord, or perish, Gu Yuan chose to break through the Heavenly Dao's blockade with Shisanqiu and become an enemy of the Heavenly Dao."
"Logically speaking, Heaven is Gu Yuan's biological father, so Gu Yuan is fighting with his own father for the sake of the little girl." Gu Yanjing explained it again using his own understanding.
Okay, that's it.
Lu Lingjun chuckled: "You could say that, but Shisanqiu is no pushover either. These past few days, he hasn't caused any trouble for the Heavenly Dao."
Gu Yan was shocked: "I must have been furious that day. My son and daughter are both such a worry."
“Heaven is heartless and emotionless, it shouldn’t be angered.” Lu Lingjun shook his head.
Gu Yanjing suddenly sighed out of the blue: "It's a good thing we don't have children. If we had such a troublesome child, I'd probably be driven crazy."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingjun's gaze suddenly fell on Gu Yanjing's belly: "Actually, it's not impossible for Zhuque to have a child."
Following Lu Lingjun's gaze, Gu Yanjing looked at her stomach, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips, and slapped Lu Lingjun across the face: "You're dreaming."
This piece of trash actually wants him to have a child? What a load of rubbish!
Lu Lingjun said he could consider it.
The menacing appearance of the group immediately attracted the attention of several young couples nearby, with the eyes of the boys and girls all turning towards them.
Although the celestial realm is never short of good-looking people, these two are completely unfamiliar to them.
Suddenly, a girl with shining eyes ditched the boy beside her and headed straight for the two of them.
"Qi Yue from the Eastern Divine Island greets you two immortal friends. I have never seen you two in the Heavenly Realm. May I ask which immortal mountain you cultivate on?"
The girl's eyes were clear, without any greed, and her gaze was solely one of appreciation for beautiful things.
Gu Yanjing had seen this kind of person before; they were probably what people in modern worlds called "face-value enthusiasts."
The young man who was traveling with the girl saw her infatuated expression and reluctantly followed: "Qin Sheng from the Eastern Divine Island greets you two immortal friends. My junior sister is a bit impulsive and has disturbed your trip."
Gu Yan nodded in surprise: "It's alright."
Lu Lingjun didn't like the way Qi Yue stared at Gu Yanjing. He wished he could hide Gu Yanjing away and not let anyone see her. He then pulled Gu Yanjing away.
"Ah, my two fellow immortals haven't told me which immortal mountain you cultivate on yet. I'll visit you when I have the chance in the future."
Qi Yue stared longingly at Gu Yanjing's retreating figure, her mouth practically watering.
Helpless, Qin Sheng took a handkerchief and covered the girl's face, reminding her to wipe her drool.
Sigh, if it weren't for his wife, he would have just walked away.
But what can you do? You chose your wife, and you're the one who will spoil her.
"No need, I'll be leaving the Celestial Realm in a few days." Gu Yanjing didn't turn around, unusually in a good mood, and didn't make any excessive movements.
"Heh, some nobody who ascended from who-knows-where. What kind of destiny does he have to cultivate on a celestial mountain? I bet he'll be killed by demon soldiers from the demon realm the moment he leaves this Marriage Island."
Beside them, a woman appeared out of nowhere, dressed very similarly to Qi Yue, but her eyes were fixed on Qin Sheng.
Seemingly realizing that Qin Sheng hadn't noticed him, his words became even more unpleasant: "However, if you two are willing to serve me, I can take you back to the Eastern Divine Island and give you a place to stay."
Gu Yan touched his stomach and looked at Lu Lingjun beside him: "I'm a little hungry."
Lu Lingjun grasped Gu Yanjing's hand: "Then shall I take you to get something to eat?"
Gu Yan yawned: "It's been too long since I went back."
He must be crazy to follow Lu Lingjun to such a far place. It takes an hour to get here, which is two hours in total.
Two hours is enough for him to play at least six games in the King of Glory arena.
Although he doesn't have the chance to play King of Glory now.
“I remember Chen Yu* lives nearby. Let’s go to his place for a meal.” Lu Lingjun was silent for a moment, then thought of someone.
"His cooking is terrible." Upon hearing this, Gu Yanjing's entire being screamed rejection.
Chen Yu* was once a fierce general under Gu Yanjing. He fought alongside Gu Yanjing in the Demon Realm and was regarded as a ferocious god by the Demon Realm.
This guy is good at everything, except he loves to study cooking. But for a two-meter-tall, rough man like him, carving fancy dishes in the kitchen is simply unbearable to watch. Gu Yanjing had patiently accepted his invitations several times.
Then, I never went there again the third time.
There's no way around it, the food is just too awful.
This thing is simply not to the celestial realm's taste; it likes to add insects when cooking.
Even though they were all bird people, Gu Yanjing had never seen any celestial immortal who had attained enlightenment eat insects every day.
"How about I make it for you?" Lu Lingjun thought for a moment.
"Heh, I don't want to crawl back today," Gu Yanjing sneered.
“How can you crawl back? At least I can carry you back.” Lu Lingjun’s smile was forced.
心爱的人不仅喜欢揍他，还不喜欢吃他做的饭。
Seeing the two leave without looking back, the girl's anger flared instantly. She raised her hand and conjured a whip, lashing it at the two of them.
"How dare two mere newly enlightened immortals ignore me? This is utterly presumptuous."
Qi Yue originally had feelings for Gu Yanjing and Lu Lingjun; well, it was simply a matter of liking their looks.
Someone is trying to hurt the person she likes, and this person is a woman who wants to steal her man. She has to stop them and beat them up.
"Zhang Ling'er, are you crazy? How could you actually make a move on Marriage Island?" Qi Yue blocked Zhang Ling'er's whip with her sword, causing peach blossoms on the ground to fly up and block the view of many people.
Marriage Island has rules: demons are not allowed to enter Marriage Island, and violence is prohibited on Marriage Island.
If you break either of these two rules, you will definitely be thrown off Marriage Island and never be allowed to go back in again.
Most people would remember these two rules and would never dare to offend Daojun.
However, Zhang Ling'er was simply too dim-witted.
"So what if I took action? I must bring these two people back today." Zhang Ling'er is the daughter of the deputy island lord of the Eastern Divine Island. She has been pampered since childhood and has never suffered any disrespect.
She got nothing from Qin Sheng and Qi Yue.
She was in love with Qin Sheng, but Qin Sheng fell in love with Qi Yue. She thought she was better than Qi Yue, who had ascended from the lower realm, in every way. But she never expected that Qin Sheng would fall for this slut.
"Ha, people are just here enjoying the peach blossoms, and you're making a fuss. You want to take him back? What are you going to do with him? Do you want the whole heaven to know that you want to keep him as a male concubine..." Qi Yue couldn't bring herself to say the words "male concubine."
These two people are so good-looking, those two words are an insult to them.
"Qi Yue, mind your own business." Zhang Ling'er's face was grim.
While the two of them were still arguing, Gu Yanjing and Lu Lingjun had already decided where to eat.
Besides Chen Yu*, the closest person here is Nan Hua.
Nan Hua is the island lord of the Eastern Divine Island that these three little devils mentioned.
Even those who weren't Gu Yanjing's people, but Lu Lingjun's people, couldn't compete with Gu Yanjing in talking to her.
As a result, things have changed drastically. Gu Yanjing was usurped seven times, and Lu Lingjun almost didn't make it back, while the other person is doing very well.
However, once the two of them left the area of the Island of Marriage, they looked around, feeling lost and confused.
The Eastern Divine Island is in the east, right? I seem to have momentarily forgotten the way.
Thinking of this, the two remained silent for a moment, exchanged a glance, and tacitly returned to the tree.
However, before they could find the three little creatures they had seen earlier, a peach blossom suddenly fell on their heads.
The peach blossoms are vibrant and beautiful, like the most beautiful one on the tree.
Lu Lingjun caught the peach blossom, looked at the red-clad young man faintly visible above it, and then used the peach blossom to pin it to Gu Yanjing's hair.
"My Suzaku is so beautiful."
Gu Yanjing tried to struggle but failed, and was made even more beautiful by the peach blossom.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Shao silently slapped Lu Lingjun twice more.
Hmm, her face is as red as mine, which is pretty good.
Lu Lingjun touched his face.
Is this beating really being paid in installments, a little bit every day?
"You're quite handsome too." Gu Yanjing looked at his work and touched Lu Lingjun's face with great satisfaction.
"Suzaku, it hurts."
Lu Lingjun felt somewhat aggrieved.
"Isn't it normal to feel pain? Let's go." Gu Yanjing adjusted the peach blossom on her head.
The jade hairpin that held her hair back had been taken away by Lu Lingjun, leaving only a peach blossom hairpin.
In the end, Gu Yanjing did not remove the jade hairpin.
Oh well, it doesn't matter what I wear.
Lu Lingjun was overjoyed and grabbed Gu Yanjing's hand with a smile.
When the two found the three small fry again, they were already locked in a fierce fight.
No, it should be that Qin Yue and Zhang Ling'er were fighting fiercely, and Qin Sheng was trying to break them up.
Unfortunately, the two women were too fierce in battle, and he was left alone and helpless in the space, almost getting injured in the process.
Life is tough.
Being caught between two women makes things even more difficult.
"Should we stop them?" Lu Lingjun asked, toying with Gu Yanjing's hand.
"No need, the island's garrison has arrived." Gu Yan yawned and glanced at a blue dragon flying towards him.
The peach tree spirit and the island's guardian had their own way of communicating. When the two started fighting, he called Qing*, but Qing*'s attention was on Gu Yanjing and Lu Lingjun.
These two people made him feel extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, the two people didn't seem to pose any danger to the peach tree, so he didn't make a move.
On the contrary, these three little devils, are they not taking Daojun seriously, or are they not taking him seriously at all?
