Chapter 94
[Mission: Reconcile with Feng Jue]
[Status: Completed]
03 breathed a sigh of relief, quickly finished writing the diary, and quietly closed his eyes.
The inner room suddenly became quiet, with only the chirping of autumn insects outside the window.
The moonlight was like water, and the black turtle opened its mouth to swallow the moonlight. Its huge claws moved in the ocean called the sky, and it suddenly accelerated, carrying the mountains and seas to fly into the distance.
The wind began to blow faster, rushing through the mountains and the sea excitedly. The dense forest of sycamore trees made a rustling sound in the night. The vermilion palace behind the forest had turned off its lights at some point, and was gently gazing at the mountains and rivers below the peak.
A ray of moonlight lay on the floor through the window, and the thin shadow of clouds flashed through the bright sky and fell into the pupils of the woman who stood up gently.
Feng Jue's long, lacquer-like hair fell, landing on the arm of the woman beside him. Perhaps having let go of its worries, the system that once claimed it wouldn't tire and didn't need sleep had fallen asleep. Its eyes were closed, its silver hair spread across the pillow. It looked a little disheveled from the previous commotion, but it looked quite well-behaved in its sleep, its chest rising and falling with its breathing.
He didn't look irritating at all like usual.
"Heh." Feng Jue laughed softly and put her hair behind her back, thinking: It won't make people angry if she falls asleep. I will ask her to sleep more in the future.
But—Feng Jue stared at the man who was still sleeping soundly.
03 slept peacefully, a panicked expression seemingly out of place on her face. Speaking of which, it was the first time Feng Jue had seen 03 so excited, and also the first time he had seen her cry.
Thinking of 03 staring at her and apologizing while crying, Feng Jue couldn't help but pursed his lips, wondering if he was crying because he saw her eyes were red and was quick-witted.
She, relying on her strong learning ability, could learn to make her cry and feel sorry for herself. It's not impossible - but she was only out for half a day, and after coming back, the stupid thing was clinging to her like she had suddenly found her way. Where did she learn these things from?
The words are a mess and the usage is a mess.
Feng Jue narrowed his eyes, raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and poked 03 twice through the air.
"Stupid thing, there will be no more than three times the limit. Next time if you dare not take your life seriously and make me angry and hurt, I will not forgive you so easily!" Feng Jue said in a low voice.
03, who was sleeping, seemed to hear the mumbling of the person on the bed. She turned over, opened her eyes in a daze, smiled at Feng Jue, closed them again, and fell asleep again.
But this time, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Feng Jue curled up the corners of his mouth and slowly lay down.
Face 03 and close your eyes.
"Chiu."
“Chirp.”
A bird with long tail feathers stood on a branch of the paulownia tree, singing and calling its friends.
The Wendao Academy is filled with rich spiritual energy, making it a blessed and sacred place for cultivating immortals. Perhaps for this reason, the birds in the trees look fatter than those in other places.
A dragon with a flower on its head drooled as it looked at the group of fat birds with envy. It already imagined how they would look like roasted until golden brown.
Food is the most important thing for people. When a dragon transforms into a human, it becomes the people. If people want to eat birds, there is no problem with that!
Jiao Meimei eagerly shook its tail, coiled its body, and leaped towards the fattest bird in the flock.
“Hula——”
Amid the falling feathers, a flock of white birds chirped and fled in panic. One of them flew into the corridor in a panic, and its wings swept against the window, making a fluttering sound.
03Open your eyes and say, "Enemy attack!"
Feng Jue's gaze fell from the book to 03, and he said lazily, "You're finally awake."
03 An exclamation point appeared in his head. He opened the clock and glanced at it, then sighed, "Yes, yes, I slept for a long time and didn't dream."
She climbed out of bed and felt very comfortable.
An expression of stretching appeared in the bubble, and 03 stretched as well and gave a thumbs up.
It feels really good to have a good sleep, it makes people feel refreshed!
"Feng Jue, good morning!" 03 said happily.
"Good morning." Feng Jue threw away the storybook, jumped lightly from the bed to the ground, and said lazily: "Pack up, I'm going to see Uncle Jing today."
"Okay!" In order to show that she was a very obedient leader, 03 took the initiative to fetch water to wash up. When she passed by the fire rock dragon holding a bird in its mouth, she hung the skewered buns on the dragon's horns to roast.
Lingshi looked straight up with her big blue eyes and spit out the bird with a "puff".
The rice is still well cooked and delicious.
03 jumped into the door and shouted, "Phoenix Secret."
A lazy response came from behind the beaded curtain separating the inner and outer rooms. Feng Jue said, "Why are you shouting? How could I abandon you and run away in such a short time?"
03 She lifted the beaded curtain and walked in with her eyes curved. Feng Jue sat at the dressing table by the window, combing her hair. Wendao Academy didn't allow outsiders in, so the Lanyang Palace servants naturally couldn't come with her to help with her makeup. She had to do everything herself.
Feng Jue was raised by servants since childhood. Although she could comb some simple hair, her skills were far inferior to those of the palace maids. This was a small blow to the beauty-loving palace master.
She hummed softly and simply tied her hair into a high ponytail like 03 and fastened it with a ruby tiara.
She found this jade crown in Feng Yunong's former bedroom. Although she never returned to Wendao Academy after the battle with Jiutian Sect, the things she left at Mianfengtai had never been touched. Now it was passed down to Feng Jue, who also came to Wendao Academy to seek the Tao.
A large hibiscus flower was engraved on the jade crown, which was as transparent as glass. Feng Jue took a look at it and remembered the cloud-like hibiscus flowers and those strange residual souls he saw outside Yu Jinguan City in the Shuanglong Secret Realm.
"I'll see Uncle Jing later and ask him about the Shuanglong Secret Realm." Feng Jue said, opening the rouge on the table and picking up a thin pen.
03 nodded and said, "Okay, I also have something to ask Jingxing about the Shuanglong Secret Realm."
As she spoke, she walked behind Feng Jue, touched Feng Jue's hair, and then gathered some of her hair to braid into a small braid.
"Call me Venerable Jing." Feng Jue looked at her through the mirror with some concern and whispered, "Don't be rude. Saying that it will take a hundred years to capture you in front of your uncle-master!"
"Oh!" 03 said cheerfully, "No, I read a lot of human books when I was on the ship, and learned a lot of skills of human life." When he was a commander in the past, he only needed to communicate with the host to assign tasks and provide rewards. Unlike now, there are more people to deal with, and he might accidentally make Feng Jue angry. As an excellent commander, he should transform written knowledge into practice.
Feng Jue's fingers paused, and a red dot suddenly appeared on her forehead. She sighed, raised her finger to wipe away the rouge, and looked at her bright red fingertips. She asked doubtfully, "What you said last night... did you read it in a storybook?"
03 She had read all the storybooks in her hand, but she had never seen words like "please" or "okay".
03 gave a thumbs up and said, "It is the crystallization of wisdom condensed over a long period of time!" This allowed her to successfully restore her relationship with Feng Jue.
"...Speak human language!" Feng Jue scolded.
03 modestly said: "They are from my excellent batchmate Tong - and my good friend Tong, who was born not long ago but is very wise. They have helped me a lot."
Feng Jue: "Hmph."
I really taught you a lot of "good things"!
However, Feng Jue seldom heard about her world from 03. Those few words she heard occasionally could make her feel the strangeness and horror of another world. Could it be that the strong people with extraordinary powers were all as foolish and pure as 03?
"If there is a chance, I would like to meet your relatives and friends." Feng Jue said lazily, putting down the red brush.
The single fire pattern was bright and matched her red dress perfectly.
03 With a curved eye, she said to Feng Jue, "I want a flower too." She pointed to her forehead and said, "Here."
OK, everything is beautiful.
Feng Jue stood up, pushed 03 onto the stool, and pinched her chin to make 03 raise her head.
"I'm too lazy to mix other colors, so I'll use the remaining rouge to add cinnabar to your face." Feng Jue said.
03 said happily: "Thank you Feng Jue."
"Next time I'll paint flowers for Feng Jue!"
Feng Jue thought to himself, do you want me to be Feng Meimei or Feng Chouchou? But he said, "Okay, wait until you practice your calligraphy well."
Okay, okay, I will practice my calligraphy well.
03 He tilted his head back obediently, and after the chill in his forehead passed, a flower appeared on his head.
It’s red, really nice.
Feng Jue also thought it was a good look. The otherworldly woman, in green clothes and white hair, with a touch of vermilion on her forehead, instantly stained the world of mortals, floating down to the mortal world. She couldn't help but curl her lips, dipped her index finger in rouge, dotted it on her lips, and gently spread it.
03 She stared at Feng Jue's face intently. The warmth of Feng Jue on her lips was soft and gentle. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick Feng Jue's fingers.
“!”
Feng Jue suddenly took a step back and clenched her fingers. The place where the wet tongue licked her felt a burning pain, which burned along her blood all the way to her heart, making her heart pound.
"What are you doing!" Feng Jue said in embarrassment.
"Hey, Feng Jue, you have no smell?" The instigator asked with a pure and innocent face.
"Hehe, who do you think I am, a candy man sold on the street?" Feng Jue's face was redder than the rouge box on the dressing table, and the rich color seemed to turn into liquid and drip.
It also has to taste!
03 thought she was saving rouge for Feng Jue, and explained with a smile: "I was thinking Feng Jue is fragrant and soft, so it should be sweet."
"...Idiot!" Feng Jue cursed, giving her a cold look and saying, "Forget all that crap you've learned! Get up right now, let's go out!"
As she said this, she turned around and strode out the door without looking back.
The beaded curtain she flung aside made a rustling sound and fluttered in the air. 03 reached out to tidy up the dressing table, then stood up slowly. She said, "Feng Jue is shy."
"Shut up!" Feng Jue said shyly as she stood outside the corridor. "If you continue to be so unreasonable, you'll just go back to sleep in the mountains!"
Wrong, wrong.
03 Walked out of the room and tried to grab Feng Jue's hand, but Feng Jue didn't look at her.
, without even holding her hand, he went down the mountain alone. 03 hurriedly caught up with her and took the baked buns from Lingshi's corner, giving the burnt ones to Lingshi and the baked ones to Fengjue.
Feng Jue refused to eat and said coldly, "It's just right to shut you up."
"Oh my." 03 held the bun and laughed, "Feng Jue is really hard to please. Please, eat a bun, just for me. Please, please, please!"
“…”
Feng Jue rubbed his fingers and decided to go on a hunger strike starting today.
The Wendao Academy's dormitories were located in the center of the palace. The terrain was flat, and outside the dormitories, a sacred valley planted by someone unknown fluttered in the breeze. The dormitories were devoid of elaborate ornaments and beams, resembling instead a mortal academy. However, they were several times larger than Feng Jue had imagined. One could only imagine how lively and magnificent it must have been when the world's greatest minds gathered to discuss Dao and the Law.
Now, there are few people among the white walls and black tiles. 03 and Feng Jue came all the way and only saw a few new disciples flying around in the academy out of curiosity. None of the disciples and teachers who were originally in the academy were seen.
03 Standing by the roadside, he looked curiously at the spiritual grains beside the road. After scanning, his eyes lit up. He plucked a wheat ear, crushed it gently in his palm, peeled out the spiritual grains inside that were as white as rice grains, and put them into his mouth with a "ah-wu".
Chew.
Sweet!
03's eyes brightened, and she looked around the grain field, plucked the largest ear of wheat, ground out the grains and gave them to Feng Jue to eat. Feng Jue glared at her unhappily, took the grains, and put his index finger to his lips, making a gesture of silence.
OK
03Shut your mouth and follow Feng Jue inside.
Jing Xing, the foremost person under the Heavenly Dao and a cultivator currently in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, resided in a modest courtyard within the academy. Before Feng Jue could raise his hand to knock on the door, it had already been opened. In the courtyard, filled with books drying on the sun, sat Venerable Xing Mo, dressed in a white shirt and a square hat, on a stone chair. A chessboard and teapot sat on the table.
Jing Xing raised his eyes to look at 03 and Feng Jue, and said softly, "You are here."
"Greetings, Uncle Master." Feng Jue bowed and glanced at 03.
03Hurry and bow.
"Please come in quickly. I've been away from Wendao Academy for quite a long time. Now that I'm back, I'm taking out the books in the room to dry them. They're a bit messy, so please don't mind." Jingxing said in a gentle voice.
"Uncle Master, you are too polite." Feng Jue pulled 03 to the table and sat down.
03 Staring at the book on the ground curiously, I thought that this place really needs a City Lord Zhao!
After they sat down, Jingxing poured them a cup of tea. He did not have the airs of the number one person in the Heavenly Dao at all, but was as gentle as an elder you could find anywhere. He smiled and said to them, "You two
I've seen everyone's performance, and it's truly outstanding. However, compared to your achievements, conquering the Twin Dragons Secret Realm is truly eye-opening for me. It truly is true that heroes emerge from youth!"
He seemed to be sighing, Feng Jue quickly said, "It was Ling Ren who awakened the Twin Dragons by chance, and was lucky enough to escape from the Twin Dragons' clutches and become the master of the Twin Dragons Secret Realm. I also want to apologize to my uncle-master, it was not us who deliberately robbed the Twin Dragons Secret Realm."
Jing Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay. Opportunities in the world belong to those who are destined to be with them. The Twin Dragon Secret Realm and I only have a verbal agreement. Whoever it is willing to recognize as its master is the opportunity of that person."
"Speaking of which, I want to return this to you."
He spread his palm, and a ball of golden light appeared in his palm. This was the energy gathered from the scales that the cultivators had retrieved from the secret realm after the second round of competition. The scales transformed into two swimming dragons in Jingxing's palm.
03 felt the contract between her and the two dragons, and her eyes fell on the dragons.
"Come." Jingxing said.
Feng Jue tilted his head, looked at 03 who had been sitting silently, and said, "Stretch out your hand."
03 obediently spread his hands. The swimming dragon swam from Jingxing's hands to 03's palms, transforming into two small birds half the size of a finger.
"There are still some fragments left in the Twin Dragons Secret Realm. Once you gather them all, you can summon the spirits of the Twin Dragons Secret Realm to this world." Jingxing said to 03.
03 nodded, his mouth still tightly closed.
Feng Jue narrowed her eyes, kicked 03's toes with her skirt, and whispered, "Speak!"
Can she speak now?
03 blinked and said loudly: "Okay, I understand! Thank you."
She exhaled.
It feels so good to be able to talk.
Phoenix Secret: "..."
You don't listen when you should, and you listen blindly when you shouldn't!
Out of sight, out of mind. Feng Jue lowered his hand, hooked his little finger around 03's index finger, and turned to Jing Xing and said, "Uncle Master, we came to you this time because we have something to ask you."
Jing Xing said: "Please speak."
Feng Jue thought for a moment and hesitated, "Uncle Master, has the Twin Dragons Secret Realm always been in the Wen Dao Academy? Has it ever been used before the Five Continents Competition?"
"No," Jing Xing said, "It's been hundreds of years since the Twin Dragons Secret Realm was opened. It's been recuperating ever since then, and was only brought out for the Five Continents Competition. However, since you've asked this, have you noticed anything wrong with it, such as Jinguan City?"
Feng Jue was stunned. He didn't expect Jing Xing to mention Jinguan City. He said in surprise: "Master knows Jinguan City, those residual souls..."
Jingxing smiled lightly, raised his hand, picked up a white chess piece, and placed it on the chessboard.
03, standing by, subconsciously scanned the chessboard again, countless plans forming in her mind. Her fingers itched as she glanced at the black chess box beside her.
Oh, should we go next? However, Jingxing did not invite her. If she went next, Feng Jue would say it was impolite, so let's wait a little longer.
03Put your hands on your knees and wait with bright eyes.
A black chess piece was lifted up by spiritual power and landed on the chessboard.
03 blinked.
Surprise! It turns out this person is playing chess with himself.
Jing Xing looked at the chessboard and said calmly, "Those remaining souls are all cultivators who died in the battle with the Jiutian Sect."
Feng Jue was stunned when the words fell into her ears. Those faceless shadows instantly appeared in her mind. Those were actually the residual souls of the predecessors! But why were they in the Shuanglong Secret Realm?
Feng Jue frowned when he thought of the residual souls that appeared with the power of the twin dragon fragments, shuttled through Jinguan City, and repeated the same things day after day.
“Why didn’t they enter reincarnation?”
The smile on Jingxing's face faded. He looked up at the sky, gazing at the sparse clouds, and said, "Huang'er, do you know what will happen if a broken soul enters reincarnation?"
Feng Jue's face tightened as he whispered, "Your spirit is incomplete, you are not human. In your next life, you will be an animal or a plant, slaughtered and trampled upon. You will live a miserable life and enter the cycle of reincarnation early, over and over again—"
At this point, an unbelievable thought came to Feng Jue's mind. Her hair stood on end, and she sat up straight, muttering, "Could it be that those spirits..."
"That's right." Jing Xing's voice was sad, and he said softly, "Back then, the evil leader of the Jiutian Sect was persecuting the righteous. The souls of these cultivators who died tragically first were extracted. Half of them were sent into the cycle of reincarnation, and the other half were forced to remain in the world. By the time my senior sister and I discovered them, the souls in the cycle of reincarnation had already experienced hundreds of lifetimes. The way of heaven is unchanging, and the souls left in the world will not be preserved by heaven. My senior sister and I had no choice but to hide their remaining souls in the Shuanglong Secret Realm and use the method of solidifying souls. We only hope that one day we can send them into reincarnation, reunite their souls, and cultivate human bodies in the next life."
“…”
In just a few words, the evil of the Nine Heavens Sect back then was revealed, leaving one shuddering. They forced the human cultivators who resisted their evil deeds to suffer inhumane fates for generations to come. They were truly vicious and utterly despicable!
Feng Jue's eyes were filled with coldness as he asked Jing Xing, "How can we send them into reincarnation?"
"Master uncle is already a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Even you can't help them attain rebirth?"
"clatter."
Jingxing's fingers fell on the chessboard
, another white piece fell, and the entire chess game changed instantly. 03, who had finally waited for Jingxing to make another move, quickly changed his plan and glanced at Jingxing with great restraint.
Jing Xing, who hadn't noticed her gaze, smiled slightly, a sad smile. He said to Feng Jue, "Huang'er, Uncle Master can't."
"Sending the remaining soul into the cycle of reincarnation is not as simple as you think. The other half of the remaining soul has already spent many lives in reincarnation. If you want to reunite the remaining souls, you must ask the heavens for mercy. And the way to make the heavens show mercy..." After Jing Xing finished speaking, Feng Jue suddenly looked up at the sky and said slowly, "Ascend to heaven and open the gate to immortality."
The cultivator was born against the will of heaven, and after several thunder tribulations, when the gate to immortality was opened, heaven gave in, and it was the best time for the remaining souls to reunite!
But Jingxing was already a cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, so how could he say that he had no way out? Feng Jue looked at Jingxing in confusion.
The mountain breeze blew through the courtyard, making the pages of the books in the courtyard rustle. Jing Xing sat in the wind and smiled at Feng Jue, "It's not that I don't want to. Becoming an immortal is my only goal since I embarked on the immortal path, but things in the world are always unpredictable. In the battle with the Jiutian Sect, some died and some were injured. Although I have overcome the tribulation, I have lost my chance to become an immortal since the battle with the Jiutian Sect."
Jing Xing said calmly, "Huang'er, I won't live long."
03, who was staring at the chessboard while listening to their conversation, had her hand suddenly lifted up. She looked up in surprise at Feng Jue, whose face was frozen. "Feng Jue?" She called out Feng Jue's name and turned to look at Jing Xing, who was smiling.
"Are you going to die?" 03 asked curiously, asking on Feng Jue's behalf, "Why?"
Jing Xing smiled and said, "It's just that he's seriously ill. The fact that he's been able to drag his remaining body through cultivation until now is a blessing from Heaven. Reopening the Five Continents Competition is not only for the survival of the righteous path, but also for a major event that will affect the future."
future?
Feng Jue hesitantly tilted his head and met 03's gaze. 03 quickly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile. Seeing her smile, Feng Jue's uneasiness dissipated. She adjusted her mood and asked, "Uncle Master, please teach me."
03 Then he looked at Jingxing and said, "Please teach me."
Jing Xing laughed and mentioned another matter: "You came to see me today, is it because you found a fragment of the residual soul in the Shuanglong Secret Realm?"
Jingxing knows about the remnant soul?
Feng Jue frowned and followed his words, "Master, what is that remnant soul? It actually wanted to take over Ling Ren's body. Fortunately, Ling Ren was alert and it didn't succeed."
Yes, the ball is very alert and invulnerable! 03 thumbs up.
Jing Xing said, "You should be familiar with the name of this remnant soul. He has killed countless righteous monks and spread cholera among the world. He is the devil of the Nine Heavens Sect - Zhan Ye!"
oh!
03Nodded, then shook his head.
Haha, I don’t know him!
She shook Feng Jue's hand.
Feng Jue's fingers loosened unconsciously and were grasped by 03. Her palms were covered with cold sweat. She said in shock: "Zhang Ye is not dead..."
"It's not that he's not dead, it's just that his cultivation was extremely powerful back then. We destroyed his body and crushed his soul, but we didn't know that his soul didn't dissipate, but quietly hid." Jingxing's hand fell on the chessboard, opened his hand towards 03, and said softly, "I discovered a piece of his soul by chance, but even I couldn't destroy it. I could only hide it in the secret room of the Shuanglong Secret Realm, but you still found it."
"It's a pity that I won't live long. Right now, the righteous path is in decline. If the devil returns, I'm afraid the righteous path will be powerless to resist."
"Huang'er, you five hundred cultivators are the elite of the righteous path selected from the Five Continents Competition. You are both talented and lucky! You and Xi Lingren are the best among them. Now is the moment of life and death for the cultivation world. You must intensify your training and take up the responsibility of protecting the world after I fall." Jing Xing said seriously.
Feng Jue slowly exhaled and stood up.
03Then he stood up and saluted Jingxing, imitating the Feng Jue technique.
"Please rest assured, uncle master. Good will never prevail over evil. I, Feng Jue, will inherit my mother's legacy and fight to the death to eliminate demons and defend justice!" Feng Jue said in a cold voice.
Can't.
03 said: "Feng Jue will not die."
She grabbed Feng Jue's wrist and said to Jing Xing, "I've remembered everything about destroying Zhang Ye to protect the world of cultivation, ascending to become an immortal, and sending the remaining souls back to reincarnation. I will work hard. With me here, Feng Jue will never lose to the devil."
"I mean what I say, Venerable Jing, you can go without worry!"
