Seeing that Shakyamuni hesitated to answer his question, Jiang Zhen smiled and then burst into tears.
The sarcasm in his words intensified.
“Master Shakyamuni, you are really hypocritical. What right do you have to say that I am a demon? How can a demon be with a human? I did nothing wrong. I just feel sorry for that child.”
"You cowardly bastard." Upon hearing Jiang Zhen's words, Shakya could no longer hold back and turned around to grab Jiang Zhen and punch him.
Jiang Zhen's lips were bruised, but he was still smiling.
It was rare for Shakyamuni to lose control of his emotions.
“Jiang Zhen, you are right. This humble monk simply likes Ye Luo, regardless of whether Ye Luo is human or not.”
"Is it a fairy, a demon, a monster, or a ghost?"
"Even I, a humble monk, would fall in love with her and protect her. Jiang Zhen, you are such a coward. Is it so hard to admit that you like the little fox and that you have feelings for her?"
"The little fox isn't some heinous monster."
"No, I can't fall in love with a demon. How could I fall in love with a monster?" Jiang Zhen's expression was one of panic and disbelief: "Shakya, you don't know, my whole family was humiliated and died in front of me by the demons."
“From then on, I began to cultivate Taoism. I swore before the Three Pure Ones that I would never let any demon go, but I let the little fox go time and time again.”
Jiang Zhen's face was bruised and swollen, but anyone could hear the sadness in his voice.
"Every time I'm with the little fox, the image of my family's tragic death flashes before my eyes. I really can't help it." Jiang Zhen squatted on the ground, holding his head, on the verge of collapse.
Shakyamuni sighed.
He couldn't blame Jiang Zhen for being cruel to the little fox.
But the little fox was innocent as well.
That's enough!
In matters of the heart, it's usually a matter of mutual consent.
After Jiang Zhen composed himself, he saw the little fox appear in front of him holding her child.
“Shengru.” Jiang Zhen’s voice was hoarse.
“Jiang Zhen.” Sheng Ru’s expression was polite yet distant. She raised the corners of her lips and said, “Jiang Zhen, I don’t blame you. You did nothing wrong. Everything before was just my own persistent pestering.”
"Now I've come to terms with it. I'll take the child with me, so you don't need to worry about the child. I'll try my best to be a good mother. I wish us both well in the future."
"Little fox." Jiang Zhen looked at Sheng Ru turning around and felt a sudden panic in his heart.
Sheng Ru, holding the child, stopped in her tracks. "Jiang Zhen, don't be like this. I finally made up my mind. Our beginning was destined to be a mistake. Now it's just about getting everything back on track."
Jiang Zhen stopped speaking, because he knew he had no right to speak; the little fox had been innocent from beginning to end.
He is trapped in the prison he has built for himself and cannot escape.
Sheng Ru thought that when she and Jiang Zhen ended things, she would cry very sadly.
Just like in the storybooks, it was heartbreaking, but for some reason, when she finally decided to give up on Jiang Zhen, she suddenly felt much lighter inside.
Perhaps she was already exhausted from her previous emotional entanglement with Jiang Zhen.
"Little fox." Ye Luo was afraid that Sheng Ru would be sad. The old women said that women should not have too much emotional fluctuation during their postpartum period. She wondered if such words would work on the fox.
Just as she was about to go in and comfort the little fox,
Tongtong flew over in a hurry, eager to tell Ye Luo that Ye Yingyuan seemed to be waking up.
"Really?" Ye Luo hurriedly ran to Ye Yingyuan's room.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ru quickly opened the door, picked up the child, and followed.
"Wait for me!" Sheng Ru ran so fast that she almost tripped and fell with the child.
----
Ye Yingyuan woke up.
However, his body is still very weak.
Everyone was very happy, especially Tongtong, who chattered around Ye Yingyuan as if she had endless things to say.
But Li Muge didn't know why, even though everything was developing in a positive direction.
But Li Muge became increasingly uneasy.
Changyan noticed that Li Muge was in a bad mood. After dinner, he took Li Muge's hand and the two strolled around the streets.
Nebula City at this time.
The bustling scene of the past is gone.
The vast street was deserted, with only a handful of people present. The war between the celestial and demonic realms had spilled over into the human world, bringing down celestial fire.
All the houses that people had worked so hard to build were burned down.
The entire city was filled with an atmosphere of deathly stillness.
Li Muge lowered her head: "Changyan, have you noticed that Ye Luo still hasn't put the World-Suppressing Pearl back?"
"You mean?" Chang Yan frowned. "Mu Ge, I don't think Ye Luo will be greedy for the World-Suppressing Pearl. It's alright."
"Liar, Changyan, you're lying." Li Muge stopped and glared at Changyan. "Changyan, do you know that's not what I meant?"
"Ye Luo would certainly not be greedy for the World-Suppressing Pearl. There are only two possibilities for this to happen."
"The first problem is that Ye Luo has no intention of returning the World-Suppressing Pearl."
"Another possibility is that we've stopped returning Zhen Shizhu, or at least temporarily stopped returning it, right?"
Li Muge stated the worst-case scenario.
Changyan had already guessed this, but he didn't want Li Muge to worry, so he changed the subject when faced with Li Muge's question.
But now that Li Muge has guessed it.
Then he could no longer hide it.
“Yes, once the World-Suppressing Pearl is removed, it is not easy to put it back in its original position.” Changyan’s mood was somewhat heavy.
"In other words, even if Ye Luo can put the World-Suppressing Pearl back, the original World-Suppressing Pearl will not be as good as before and will not be able to protect the peace of the human world."
"What? What should we do?" Li Muge was anxious for Ye Luo; she had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
Changyan hugged Li Muge; "Muge, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side to protect you."
If possible!
Changyan wished that time could stand still at this moment.
I hope Li Muge will never regain her memories.
I've always liked him.
Changyan still lacked confidence; he was afraid of what would happen when Li Muge regained her memories.
It seems that Yun Qi is the only one in her heart.
"Alright, alright, Changyan, why are you acting like a woman, so sentimental? I'll protect you too." Li Muge smiled.
"No matter how rugged the road ahead may be, even if it is full of thorns, Changyan."
Li Muge held Changyan's hand: "Changyan, I will always hold your heart tightly, just like I do now, and I will never let go."
"good."
"Please remember me forever, okay, Mu Ge?"
Changyan's almost humble plea.
"Of course." Li Muge felt that Chang Yan's words were sometimes inexplicable, as they walked back hand in hand.
Inside the mansion, Changyan's good friend from the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Lord Beidou, had been waiting for him for a long time.
The expression on Beidou Immortal Lord's face was solemn and anxious.
