Chapter 64 Sister, you're so heartless! Of course I did it for you...
"Of course, but Ah-Que, it might be a bit dangerous for me to go this time." That's why I don't want you to come with me, and I don't want you to worry if you know.
Upon hearing this, Shen Que pursed his lips and tightened his grip on Jiang Yuemian's arm, as if in silent protest.
After a long while, Shen Que finally spoke, his voice muffled: "Does Master intend to abandon me again?"
Master is always like this. He didn't expect what happened more than 500 years ago, and this time he actually wants to face the danger alone.
Sigh, Shenque, how useless you are! How much must your master not trust you to always choose one person?
As Shen Que thought of this, he let out a soft chuckle, which Jiang Yuemian detected as a hint of self-mockery.
Jiang Yuemian immediately realized that Shen Que had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "Ah Que, it's not what you think. I just didn't want you to be in danger."
"Danger..." Shen Que muttered to himself.
“Yes.” Jiang Yuemian nodded, but the small gestures she made betrayed her unease.
“Master, I am no longer the weak person I once was. My cultivation is about to break through to the Mahayana stage.” Shen Que looked earnestly at Jiang Yuemian: “I will no longer hold you back.”
What happened last time will absolutely not happen again, and he will not allow it to happen again.
Jiang Yuemian was taken aback, not expecting him to say that. How could he hold her back? His presence was her support; she simply didn't want him to be in danger.
However, since Ah Que said that, it meant he wanted to stand by her side through thick and thin. So she shouldn't always keep him under her wing. After all, Ah Que was her lover, the lover she could fight alongside.
Jiang Yuemian smiled, her eyebrows curving and the corners of her mouth curving into a beautiful arc. She gently touched Shen Que's face, then leaned forward, and before she knew it, Shen Que's lips were pecked.
"Okay." We'll face it together.
Shen Que pursed his lips, his throat bobbing, wanting to catch up with her and kiss her again, but unexpectedly Jiang Yuemian also stepped back, then covered Shen Que's mouth and winked at him.
"Alright, let's get going!"
......
The Source of Innocence is located on the border of the Demon Realm, which is very close. This is why Jiang Yuemian felt she could sneak there and sneak back.
As soon as the two stepped into the Source of Nothingness, a chilling dampness instantly enveloped their bodies.
The name "Source of No Delusion" sounds like a fairyland, but upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a cold, damp, and dead land.
The creatures here possess characteristics that other organisms lack, such as corrosiveness...
Therefore, the plants picked here are very precious. After all, you need specially made boxes to get your hands on them, which has caused the price of plants growing in the Source of Nothingness to skyrocket.
The most fearsome thing is crossing the river in the Source of Innocence.
The crossing is located in the middle of the source of non-delusion. It is not large in area and is surrounded by silver grass. From a distance, it looks like the Milky Way.
However, many people are not fooled by its appearance, after all, if you get even a drop of this river water on your skin, it will instantly cause it to fester.
Therefore, this river is not for the mortal body to touch.
Except for Jiang Yuemian, she is a god.
So she wanted to test her suspicions.
She and Shen Que came to a point very close to the river crossing, then she turned to Shen Que and said, "A-Que, stay here, I'll go get it."
Shen Que immediately tensed up as if he wanted to say something, but then shut his mouth, only his eyes showing worry.
"good."
Jiang Yuemian released their clasped hands and walked forward step by step, getting further and further away from Shen Que. Naturally, she could no longer see how focused Shen Que's gaze was on her.
Jiang Yuemian cautiously made her way to the riverbank step by step. She slowly crouched down, looking at her silvery reflection in the water, and then stood up and jumped without hesitation.
The sound of splashing water made Shen Que's pupils shrink instantly. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already run to the riverbank.
His expression was both flustered and restrained, and in the end he gave up the idea of going down, only waiting on the riverbank as if sitting on pins and needles.
Jiang Yuemian in the water was different; she was quite content because, just as she had thought, human bones could not withstand the corrosive effects of the river water, but hers could.
She swam towards the bottom of the water as if she lived in it, as carefree as a fish, and soon reached the bottom.
[Mianmian, this is it. See that rock over there? Place your spiritual energy there.]
Jiang Yuemian listened to its words, scanned her surroundings, and then saw the stone that 001 had mentioned not far to her right rear.
001 also confirmed her guess.
[Yes, that's it. Go there quickly, Mianmian.]
Jiang Yuemian obediently swam in the direction 001 indicated, and then, as instructed, she poured her spiritual power into the stone.
At first there was no reaction, but as spiritual energy was slowly poured in, the stone gradually lit up, and then the light suddenly intensified, and a dazzling green column shot out from the bottom of the water, passing through the surface of the water, so that Chen Que, who was waiting on the top, could see it clearly.
It's the aura of my master.
Shen Que finally suppressed the surprise in his eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down.
Jiang Yuemian successfully obtained the water for crossing the river, carefully placed it into the box prepared by 001, put it into her storage bag, and then went upstream.
"call..."
Jiang Yuemian's figure suddenly appeared on the water. Before Chen Que could make a move, Jiang Yuemian emerged from the water like a lotus flower, making people forget that she was crossing the river.
When Jiang Yuemian reached the shore, Shen Que wanted to go forward to check on her, but before he could even touch her, she was pulled back as if she had been electrocuted, catching Shen Que off guard.
Seeing that Shen Que's outstretched hand was still frozen in place, Jiang Yuemian awkwardly explained, "Ah Que, I have some river water on me, you can touch me later."
Shen Que had no choice but to put his hand back.
After Jiang Yuemian used her spiritual power to dry the water off her body and then used a cleansing spell to clean herself thoroughly, checking that there was no trace of the river water on her body, she returned to Chen Que's side.
She naturally took Chen Que's hand, and their hands clasped together.
"Master, do you need any other materials?"
Before Jiang Yuemian could answer, 001's voice rang in her mind.
[Mianmian, we've gathered all three refining materials. Now all we need to do is wait!]
Jiang Yuemian: "Waiting for what?"
[Of course...]
"Xiao Wu?" A surprised voice came from not far away.
Then came the sound of rapid footsteps approaching the two.
"Xiao Wu, it really is you."
Jiang Yuemian turned around and saw Xiao Mingjue staring at her from a short distance away, his eyes full of surprise. In such a short time, he even shed tears.
Jiang Yuemian released her hand from Shen Que's, turned and ran towards Xiao Mingjue, then threw herself into Xiao Mingjue's arms.
"Senior Brother..." I miss you so much.
Xiao Mingjue's hand remained where it was, then he slowly raised it and patted Jiang Yuemian's back: "Xiao Wu, don't cry, your senior brother is here."
"Senior brother..." When Jiang Yuemian stopped crying, she wiped her tears shyly, let go of Xiao Mingjue's arm, and pushed her body back away from Xiao Mingjue's embrace.
At this moment, Shen Que had already walked to the two of them and nodded in acknowledgment.
Xiao Mingjue asked in surprise, "Xiao Wu, what's going on with you?" Xiao Mingjue looked Jiang Yuemian up and down.
Where did those five hundred years go?
......
"Oh, so Asao and the others didn't tell me. And I even..."
Jiang Yuemian realized that Xiao Mingjue meant to blame Xiang Chaosheng and the others, so she quickly explained that it was her request: "Senior brother, it's all my fault."
"Sigh, how could it be your fault, Xiao Wu? I heard before that Chen Que actually got married, and I was so angry that I couldn't sleep all night. I never expected this..."
Xiao Mingjue looked Shen Que up and down with admiration, then gave him a thumbs up.
"good."
Just as everyone was catching up, 001's voice rang out again.
[Mianmian, ask Senior Brother for a wisp of spiritual energy.]
Why?
[Mianmian, oh dear, just do as I say, hurry up~]
Jiang Yuemian had no choice but to comply.
Upon hearing Jiang Yuemian's request, Xiao Mingjue's eyes lit up noticeably, but he immediately sent over a wisp of his spiritual energy.
After collecting Xiao Mingjue's spiritual power, Jiang Yuemian asked, "Senior brother, why are you here?"
Xiao Mingjue explained, "I'm here to find medicine for your third senior sister. Your thirtieth senior sister's health has been poor ever since you left, and she's been making do with it all these years."
Jiang Yuemian was surprised: "Senior Sister is actually sick?"
"It's just a psychological problem. But now that her antidote is back, your senior sister will naturally get better."
Xiao Mingjue smiled.
All three laughed. Jiang Yuemian was a little reluctant to break up this heartwarming moment, but while she was reluctant, the others were.
"Wow, it's really lively here."
From the source of the sound, Jiang Du, dressed in a dark robe and bathed in light, arrived with an expression of fascination.
Jiang Yuemian's expression changed, and she quickly raised the peach and plum.
"Sister, please stop fighting and killing. I miss you so much."
Jiang Du put on a hurt expression, and then, regardless of whether the others welcomed him or not, he swaggered over and sat down next to Jiang Yuemian under the gaze of the three of them, forming a circle.
"..." It's not funny at all.
Seeing the atmosphere suddenly change, Jiang Du pretended nothing had happened and said, "What's wrong? Keep talking." He took out a handful of melon seeds from his storage bag, then thought for a moment and realized it wasn't enough, so he slackly took out another bag.
“............”
Jiang Yuemian frowned: "What are you doing here?"
"Me? Sister, you're so heartless! Of course I came for you~" Jiang Du laughed, and even winked at Jiang Yuemian.
Shen Que's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Xiao Mingjue asked, "And who is this...?"
Shen Que: "Demon Lord."
Xiao Mingjue patted his heart: "Oh, the Demon Lord, hahaha, you've come at the right time, wait? Cough cough cough Demon Lord?"
