Chapter 34 "Ah Que, I'm here, don't be afraid." Demonic energy appears...
"Come out quickly! Something's happened!" The loud knocking forced the two to stop.
The two of them frowned simultaneously, then stood up abruptly and straightened their disheveled clothes.
Shen Que got up to open the door, and Jiang Yuemian, her mood disturbed, sat down at the tea table with some annoyance.
The knocking continued, and Chen Que quickly walked to the door and opened it a crack: "What is it?"
His voice was still somewhat soft, carrying an almost imperceptible hint of desire, but the person outside was too anxious to notice.
Song Shanshan: "Chen Que, come out quickly! Something's happened outside! Come out right now, I'm going to call the Immortal Venerable again!"
Shen Que's expression changed, and he called out to Song Shanshan, "No need, the matter is urgent. You go ahead first, I will call for Master."
"Alright, hurry up!"
Song Shanshan had no suspicions, nor did she realize the intimate moment between them, and she ran away in a panic.
Shen Que was relieved and turned to look at the Immortal Venerable: "Master, let's go. It seems something important has happened."
Jiang Yuemian nodded.
The two quickly reached the deck, where everyone else had also arrived. The sky was pitch black, and many black birds hovered above the spaceship. They had pointed beaks, red eyes, and strange purple tinges on their tails, which made Jiang Yuemian's expression turn serious.
This is...
Jiang Yuemian shot out a burst of spiritual energy, catching the bird off guard and knocking it down. Jiang Yuemian caught it, and at that moment, the other birds suddenly became agitated and began to attack all at once.
The others were on high alert.
While observing the strange bird in her hand, Jiang Yuemian raised her hand and cast a protective shield to keep the frenzied birds out.
At the same time, she used her spiritual energy to carefully envelop the strange bird in her hand. Slowly, she became somewhat surprised, then felt a heaviness in it. This bird... how could it possess demonic energy...?
Could it be...
Shen Que: "Master, is it very serious?"
The others also immediately turned to look at Jiang Yuemian.
Under the gazes of the crowd, Jiang Yuemian slowly spoke: "It's nothing, just some birds that have gone mad."
This matter is of great importance, so it's best to discuss it with my senior brothers via telepathy. These junior disciples can't do anything about it; in fact, they'll only panic. It's better not to tell them.
Hearing Jiang Yuemian's words, everyone's hearts were instantly at ease. However, looking at the strange birds that were crashing violently, they were still somewhat uneasy.
Nangong Chen: "Uncle-Master, what should we do with these strange birds?"
Jiang Yuemian closed her eyes tightly, and slowly enveloped the strange bird with the spiritual power in her hand. In an instant, the strange bird turned into black mist, and then disintegrated by the spiritual power.
Phew... thankfully, it was able to purify.
That makes things easier.
Jiang Yuemian then used both hands to form an array, and her personal sword flew out from her waist and instantly stuck into the deck. Spiritual power gradually entered the sword, and then the green light on the sword shone brightly. Instantly, the green light spread out from the sword as the center, replacing the protective shield before it was damaged.
The strange birds that were desperately crashing into the shield instantly turned into nutrients when they encountered the protective shield formed by spiritual energy, making the shield even more solid.
After doing all this, Jiang Yuemian's face turned somewhat pale.
Shen Que pursed his lips: "Master, are you alright?"
Jiang Yuemian waved her hand, signaling with her eyes that he was alright, but she really didn't look alright.
She said, "Alright, everyone go and rest. This protective shield is enough."
Then, with Shen Que's help, he turned around and retreated.
Nangong Chen: "Everyone, go back." After he finished speaking, he sat on the deck to keep watch on the situation.
“That won’t do! How can we leave my brother alone!” Nangong said silently.
Nangong Sheng: "That's right! I want to stay here with my brother too!"
Song Shanshan: "I want to stay here with my senior brother too!" She didn't want to be a coward.
Nangong Chen said with relief, "Then let's take turns on duty, with two hours as one round."
"good!"
......
As soon as she was helped into the house, Jiang Yuemian was already struggling to stay upright. Chen Que was startled and picked her up in his arms, then gently placed her on the bed. He knelt down beside the bed, holding Jiang Yuemian's hand, his eyes full of concern and worry.
"Master, is there anything I can do?" He was a little flustered. He could only blame himself for being too weak, otherwise he would definitely be the one to stand in front and not let his master suffer any hardship.
Seeing Jiang Yuemian's pale lips, his heart broke.
Jiang Yuemian was just a little weak. After all, it was demonic energy. Although she had a high level of cultivation, she was still just a mortal. However, hearing Shen Que's concern for her, she decided to use a self-inflicted injury as a ploy. So she pretended to be weak and said, "Ah Que, am I going to die?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Que's eyes reddened instantly, and he choked up, saying, "Master, no, Master will live to be a hundred years old."
After saying that, he realized he had said the wrong thing and felt a little lost. In the eyes of the cultivator Yan, a hundred years old was not a long life. So he pursed his lips and his eyes darkened.
"Okay~ I'm still waiting to be registered with Ah Que. If I die early, I won't be able to kiss Ah Que anymore. I don't want that."
Shen Que felt a little ashamed and indignant, pretending to be angry and ignoring her, but there was still some worry on his face.
Jiang Yuemian smiled but didn't say anything. Speaking of her 100th birthday, wouldn't it be her birthday around the time A-Que attends the Qingyun Conference?
Maybe when Ah Que wins first place, it will be a double celebration.
Jiang Yuemian had almost fully recovered by now; she had just been greatly exhausted. She picked up the communication slip and told her senior brother about the situation, but after waiting for a while without a reply, she put it down.
After finishing all this, she turned around and saw Chen Que still kneeling by the bedside. She said helplessly, "Chue, come up here."
Shen Que then hesitantly slipped off his shoes and got into bed. He didn't dare touch Jiang Yuemian, afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so he carefully tried to avoid her and go inside.
However, Jiang Yuemian was now fully recovered and wanted to get close to A-Que. With a mischievous move, Shen Que knelt on top of Jiang Yuemian. In his panic, Shen Que tried to get up, but Jiang Yuemian was too strong.
She said, "Ah Que, please have some pity on me~"
Shen Que froze, straddling Jiang Yuemian, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet. He could only look to Jiang Yuemian for help with his watery eyes.
"Ah Que, kiss me." Jiang Yuemian closed her eyes, waiting for Chen Que's touch.
Shen Que didn't want to do these things while she was weak; he was in no mood for it.
But Jiang Yuemian said again, "It hurts so much, Ah Que, please kiss me."
Shen Que surrendered instantly. He sighed, defeated, and helplessly lay down and touched it.
Jiang Yuemian didn't open her eyes, nor did Shen Que, so the touch felt even more intense.
Before Shen Que could make his next move, Jiang Yuemian took the initiative, placing her hand on Shen Que's neck and gently pressing down, so that Shen Que's lips met hers once again.
Jiang Yuemian came on strong, as if she wanted to devour him whole, until—
Her face became wet. Jiang Yuemian opened her eyes and saw that Shen Que's eyes were watery, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be contained and were showing.
Jiang Yuemian stopped what she was doing and hurriedly coaxed, "A-Que, good A-Que, don't cry, okay? No more kissing, no more kissing. Look, I'm perfectly fine."
After she finished speaking, she even shook her arm to show him.
But Chen was truly afraid. Jiang Yuemian's face had been so pale just now. Although she had rested well, he felt like he had seen her like this somewhere before. He was terrified. He couldn't live without his master!
Since Shen Que remained silent, Jiang Yuemian had no choice but to keep coaxing him.
The panic that was so intense came too quickly to be contained.
Jiang Yuemian was not impatient; she kept calling in Shen Que's ear.
"Baby, don't cry."
"I feel so sorry for Ah Que."
“Ah Que, I’m here, don’t be afraid.”
But she still couldn't coax him. Jiang Yuemian gritted her teeth and directly covered his mouth with her own, and he let out a sobbing sound.
The tears still wouldn't stop, so Jiang Yuemian had no choice but to lower her hand...
This time, no one bothered them.
Shen Que's crying took on a different meaning. The storm outside howled and howled until Shen Que completely collapsed. Jiang Yuemian got up and washed her hands.
Shen Que buried himself in the quilt, not daring to look at Jiang Yuemian. He didn't know what he, a grown man, was being so dramatic about. It was clearly his master who did the work and got the mess, and all the benefits were his, but he just couldn't face it.
When Jiang Yuemian returned after cleaning up, she saw a large bulge in the quilt.
"..." She found it somewhat amusing.
"Ah Que, don't suffocate yourself."
Shen Que's face turned even redder, but he still slowly revealed his face and then pretended to get down.
However, his feet went limp as soon as they touched the ground, and Jiang Yuemian quickly pulled him into her arms.
"Ah Que, be good, let's rest for a while before going out, okay?" There are people guarding outside, we can go out and change shifts in a while, and besides, he doesn't want others to see him like this.
If Shen Que goes out, he'll definitely be found out what he did. We can't ruin Ah Que's reputation.
She, a celestial being, is fine, but Ah Que is still just a young boy!
She chuckled, in a very good mood.
Once Shen Que recovered, the two went to the deck together. Nangong Sheng was on duty at this time. He was a little puzzled when he saw the two of them standing side by side. Why were the Immortal Venerable and Junior Brother Shen so close?
"how's it going."
Jiang Yuemian's clear, cold voice rang out, and Nangong Sheng quickly reported the situation while he was on guard, then waited for the Immortal Venerable's response.
"Hmm, it seems like there's no major problem."
Jiang Yuemian thought that the rest would be guarded by her and Aque.
"You go back first, Ah Que and I will handle the rest."
Shen Que listened quietly.
Nangong Sheng asked in surprise, "But..."
The Immortal Venerable has already expended too much energy and is not suitable to do anything personally again.
However, as soon as he spoke, he saw the unquestionable look in Jiang Yuemian's eyes, so he had no choice but to respectfully comply.
Now, only two people remained on the deck.
It was almost dawn, and the strange birds had been purified by spiritual power, with none of them attacking again. However, we still couldn't let our guard down.
The two sat on the deck, feeling the wind blowing in their faces, while the sun had already begun to peek out.
After an hour or two, Jiang Yuemian stood up, supporting herself with one hand, and removed the protective shield.
We are safe now.
Only then did the two realize that they had entered the territory of Tianguang City.
Beneath the spaceship, they could see people everywhere already up early, running their businesses, and smoke rising from the chimneys of some homes—the smell of home.
The others followed suit and went up to the deck, so Jiang Yuemian ordered them to speed up.
The spaceship then sped toward its destination, leaving trails of white smoke that amazed the people below.
"Huh! The immortals have arrived!"
"What a magnificent sight!"
A little girl was being held in her father's arms. Pointing curiously at the spaceship, she turned her head excitedly and exclaimed, "Daddy! I want to ride in a big spaceship too!"
"Okay! Our Bao'er can sit here from now on!"
......
Finally, the surrounding landscape changed; the sword-like peaks rose high, surrounded by clouds and mist, and flocks of birds flew about.
A sound suddenly appeared high in the sky.
"The Shannan Sect welcomes all fellow Daoists."
As the sound faded, figures appeared in front of the spaceship, welcoming them.
Jiang Yuemian stood at the very front.
We've arrived at the main venue for the Qingyun Conference.
