Chapter 78 Mutual Destruction vs. "Baby, one more..."
Jiang Hengchuan clearly wouldn't cooperate with the spitting blood act, and Wen Yinhe couldn't chase him down. After scaring him away, he switched to acting with the extras.
The smell of blood quickly filled the air.
The sword Lanxue in Wen Yinhe's hand was stained with the blood of cultivators. The snow-white blade was dark red, almost black. Wen Yinhe's black robes were soaked with indistinguishable black and red bloodstains, all of which were other people's blood.
They can't kill them all.
There's no way to kill them all.
Wen Yinhe did not intend to kill anyone; he had tried his best not to use any lethal moves, only to severely injure the person until they could no longer get up.
But when one person falls, countless others surge forth, like a tide, layer upon layer, endlessly.
The righteous people before me wore the attire of various sects, some with righteous indignation on their faces, some with fear, but most with greed and hatred on their faces.
"Huai Jin, I'm sorry, I was too narrow-minded before."
Wen Yinhe's voice was hoarse, his fair cheeks were stained with blood, and his clear eyes shone with an enlightened light, as if he had finally seen through the world.
“I keep saying that good and evil cannot coexist, but what exactly is the right path and what is evil? Who decided that right is right and evil is evil? Does the right path mean that one is completely innocent and clean, never having blood on one's hands and never having a single bit of bias in one's heart?”
"In reality, the number of people killed by righteous people is probably not much less than that of demonic cultivators. It's just that demonic cultivators kill at will, while righteous people always have to find a high-sounding reason to kill. In the end, aren't both sides just acting for their own interests? No one is much cleaner than the other."
This whole explanation completely ripped away the veneer of righteousness from the righteous path.
The faces of the righteous cultivators in front of them changed drastically, turning pale and then flushed, looking extremely unpleasant.
“Yinhe…” Lu Huaijin’s throat was dry, and he looked at him with trembling eyes, “When did you start regaining your memories?”
“On the night I returned from the Lantern Festival, I saw the wedding dress we wore when we got married in the Demon Realm,” Wen Yinhe said, his gaze towards Lu Huaijin gentle and affectionate, his voice becoming softer and softer, as if afraid of frightening the other person. “From that moment on, my memories began to gradually return.”
Lu Huaijin said incredulously, "So... I thought I was helping you gradually forget the past and become a mortal again, but actually, it's the opposite. You're actually gradually regaining your memories..."
“But I am still willing to be a mortal couple with you,” Wen Yinhe gazed intently at Lu Huaijin across the sea of blood. Everything in the world paled in comparison in his eyes. He could only see the beautiful figure of Lu Huaijin. “Huaijin, I am willing to fall in love with you.”
Even though it was a tense and critical battle between immortals and demons, Lu Huaijin couldn't help but smile with red eyes after hearing these sweet words.
[Aaaaaaah, I knew it! The Immortal Venerable getting up that night to put on another show was just leaving room for something to happen!]
【Wow, this is the ultimate plot twist!!!】
【!!! ...
[What?! Nobody's shipping this sweet confession? Why is everyone discussing the plot? Never mind, I, the shipper, am shipping them first! So sweet! I'm shipping them!!!]
Wen Yinhe turned to face the group of cultivators, his gaze calmly sweeping over the familiar and unfamiliar faces, and said in a clear voice:
"I have no intention of being an enemy of the cultivation world. I would like to make a deal with you all. I, Wen Yinhe, hereby swear by the Heavenly Dao that as long as you are willing to let us pass, I and the Demon Lord of Annihilation will be willing to live like mortals from now on and will never interfere in anything of the cultivation world again. If I ever break this promise in the future, I, Wen Yinhe, will surely die and be destroyed, never to be reincarnated again!"
The moment this vow was made, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Unexpectedly, Immortal Venerable Lanxue was so infatuated with a great demon.
The leading figures exchanged glances, silently weighing the pros and cons.
Eliminating the problem at its root is the best policy, and none of them want to leave any future troubles behind.
But it needs the right time...
In the blink of an eye, everyone had made their decision.
An elderly man with white hair and beard stepped forward and said with a sincere tone, "Since Immortal Venerable Lanxue and Demon Venerable Jiemie have come to their senses, we really cannot bear to see any more bloodshed. So let us follow the Immortal Venerable's words and end this battle here. We hope that Immortal Venerable Lanxue will... take good care of herself from now on."
The rest of the group nodded in agreement, their faces mostly showing relief.
Wen Yinhe nodded his thanks, slowly turned around, and stretched out a blood-stained hand to Lu Huaijin behind him.
Lu Huaijin's heart suddenly started pounding, sensing that the end was fast approaching.
Without hesitation, he placed his hand on it and then intertwined his fingers with Wen Yinhe's.
The two held hands and walked through the long street strewn with corpses, heading towards the sunlight.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
The white-haired old man, who had been all smiles of compassion, suddenly sprang up from behind, his sinister attack aimed straight at the two men's backs, his eyes filled with the fanaticism and greed of those about to achieve fame and fortune.
In a flash, Wen Yinhe instinctively pulled Lu Huaijin into his arms, taking the fatal blow with his bare hands.
Lu Huaijin's eyes widened as he watched Wen Yinhe vomit a mouthful of blood onto his face, which had suddenly turned pale.
His eyes suddenly turned red with hatred, and he turned around and crushed the cultivator who had made the move.
Before the old man's ecstatic joy could fully form, he was covered in blood and died on the spot.
“It seems we can’t leave today,” Wen Yinhe said weakly, collapsing into Lu Huaijin’s arms. Warm blood gushing from his mouth stained Lu Huaijin’s white clothes. “Thank you, Huaijin. I have truly been very happy in this life, without a single regret. I love you…”
Lu Huaijin hugged Wen Yinhe tightly, his hoarse voice revealing a hint of ruthlessness and determination, his eyes bloodshot: "Does your previous promise still stand?"
Wen Yinhe was taken aback, and in an instant, he realized that Lu Huaijin was referring to the promise they made to each other before their deaths in the illusion.
He smiled gently, his voice soft: "It counts...for all eternity, it counts..."
"Okay, hold my hand tight. If you dare let go, I'll come after you in my next life!"
Lu Huaijin gripped Wen Yinhe's five fingers tightly, his eyes red, and made one last vicious threat.
A surge of demonic energy erupted wildly from Lu Huaijin's dantian, rapidly devouring all the light around him.
Destructive energy is rapidly compressing and expanding, causing even the heavens and earth to change color.
Wen Yinhe already knew his plan, but did not stop him at all. Instead, he and Lu Huaijin slowly closed their eyes and rested their heads on Lu Huaijin's forehead in peace.
At the same moment, a vast expanse of snow-white spiritual energy slowly spread from Wen Yinhe's dantian.
However, it transformed into a gentle and expansive power, protecting all the innocent mortals, flowers, trees, monsters, birds, and beasts on the entire Tiangan Continent.
"Oh no! They're about to self-destruct!"
The power of the self-destruction of two top experts in the cultivation world was enough to level almost half of the Tiangan Continent.
The monks were terrified and fled in panic.
Unfortunately, none of them could escape.
Since this world cannot accommodate them, they will seek another world. The universe is vast, and there must be a place for them to find refuge.
At that time, they will spend their lives together.
A loud "boom" resounded.
Even the camera lens started shaking violently.
The hearts of all the viewers in the live stream jumped, and then started pounding wildly.
Everyone stared in disbelief, almost dumbfounded, at the screen in front of them. After a long, blank silence of more than ten seconds, the familiar background music suddenly began to play.
It was none other than the opening theme song of "Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld"!
The live stream then switched to the beginning of the first episode of "The Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld".
The protagonist's slender, youthful hand picked up an ancient scroll that had fallen to the ground.
Upon opening it, a portrait of an immortal from a thousand years ago was found on the yellowed, tattered paper.
His face was already blurred, but one could see that the immortal's hand holding the sword had distinct knuckles, his figure was elegant and otherworldly, and his temperament was extraordinary.
In the lower left corner of the scroll is written the title of the immortal—
【Immortal Venerable Lanxue】
As the protagonist's silhouette gradually faded, the large characters "Azure Netherworld Nine Tribulations," which should have appeared as the opening title, were instead replaced by—
[The End of "Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld: Prequel"]
The viewers in the live chat were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time, stunned for at least ten seconds, before they finally started typing as if they were in another world.
Ah, it's over...
[This is... mutual destruction...?]
[Hahahaha, it's a knife! Great! We're saved! So delicious!!! I love eating knives! I love eating knives!!! (Blood splatters everywhere, he dies on the spot...)]
[Double death means a happy ending!!! Double death means a happy ending!!! Double death means a happy ending!!! No one is allowed to disobey me! This is a happy ending!!!]
[It's so sweet! I'm so happy!!! I dare anyone to say it's not sweet, hahaha!!!]
[Everyone seems to have gone mad. Now, are you finally satisfied, Mr. Best Actor?! !!!]
Although I had expected it, when that knife was actually at my throat, even with all the preparation, it still hurt!!!
[This last scene gave me goosebumps all over!!! The production team, you're so good at this!!! The memories of the dead are attacking me relentlessly!!! My scalp is tingling! Oh my god!]
[Anyway, it's just something anyone made up. I could easily imagine that this painting was painted by the Demon Lord for the Immortal Lord...]
[Holy crap, the girls upstairs are shipping! Great idea! I'm going to go reread "The Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld" right now! Isn't this just creating sweetness out of thin air? Hahahaha, that's a basic skill for a true sugar-coated fan!]
Just as the chat was in chaos, the live stream quietly returned to normal.
The corpses that had been lying on the ground got up and surrounded the guests, shaking hands and thanking each other.
"Thank you for your hard work, teachers!"
Happy wrap-up!
While wiping the bloodstains off Lu Huaijin's face with tissue paper, Wen Yinhe subconsciously shielded him from the crowd with his body, and then turned his head to reply gently, "Everyone has worked hard. Happy wrap-up."
"Mr. Wen, may I have your autograph?" A seemingly clever young actor pulled out a photo of Wen Yinhe and a pen from his pocket in front of everyone, clearly having planned this all along.
Everyone else was stunned, then enraged:
"Damn it! You're so insidious! How dare you!!!"
"Ahhh, Teacher Wen, I want one too! Wait for me! I'll go back and get a pen and paper right now!"
There were several hundred actors present, so it wasn't possible to sign them all at once.
Wen Yinhe had no choice but to make an appointment with everyone to sign their photos one by one during breaks in the recording.
He also specially found a representative to collect everyone's names. If anyone had anything to say, they could write it down and give it to him so he could write a signature for them.
The young actors were so moved that they burst into tears:
"Waaaaah, Teacher Wen, you're such a kind person! I want to follow you for the rest of my life!"
The actor who was originally playing the old man had cried so much that his beard had fallen off, revealing a young, fair-skinned face that looked no more than twenty years old.
Wen Yinhe couldn't help but sigh, "The younger generation is truly formidable."
All the cast members took a group photo together. Wen Yinhe then called out the behind-the-scenes photography, makeup, props, and scriptwriting teams and took another photo.
The viewers who had just been crying couldn't help but smile along with the production team, experiencing a mix of tears and laughter.
[Waaaaah, happy wrap-up! Everyone was amazing! Thank you so much to every actor!!!]
[I've had a tough time too... These past two days have felt like an eternity. It feels like I've been binge-watching the entire series day and night. Even as a viewer, my eyes are blurry... I have to say, the actors are truly amazing!]
The audience was getting tired of watching, but the chefs' battle had only just begun!
Fan-made content has exploded in popularity, and major platforms and websites are almost completely dominated by these shippers.
The experts took charge, combining clips of Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin from variety shows with "The Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld: Side Story," creating a happy ending extra episode spanning their past and present lives, which healed many wounded hearts.
This episode continues to trend on social media.
#Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin grow old together#
#Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin get married#
#Immortal Venerable Lanxue and Demon Venerable Jimie both died#
#Wen Yinhe's acting skills are phenomenal#
#Filming wrapped on "Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld: Prequel"#
#The makeup and styling team for "The Seven Year Itch" is going crazy#
#The Chinese entertainment industry is saved#
The last two trending topics were, firstly, a huge chorus of praise for the show's special effects team, props team, and makeup team.
Everyone expressed their highest praise for the sound, light, and electricity effects on site, and also raved about the makeup artist's old-age makeup.
After obtaining permission from the production team, the makeup artist posted some behind-the-scenes photos on her social media account, gaining over 100,000 followers in a single day and receiving numerous orders, making her extremely happy.
Unbelievable wealth finally descended upon them!
The second trending topic is a list of all the actors involved and their respective roles.
To everyone's surprise, many of the actors were very young, as if they had been brought directly from the university town.
And it really was true.
Many of the child actors said that when they first heard that the school was recruiting extras, they didn't pay much attention. After all, many film crews would directly cooperate with universities to save money and get free and high-quality labor.
However, unlike other production crews who only receive 0.5 credits at a time, this time they can give a full 5 credits!
Five points! That's equivalent to playing a minor role 10 times!
The whole school went crazy for it, almost fighting until they were bloodied, but in the end, they finally stood out because of their absolute strength.
Everyone was curious: what kind of amazing production team could possibly deserve such a huge investment of 5 credits!
Looking at it now...
Holy crap! It's actually "The Seven Year Itch"! And he's working with Teacher Wen and President Lu! And it's even a prequel to "The Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld"!
Even if they lost 50 credits, let alone get 5 credits, they would still be willing!
They've successfully met their idol! Hehehe!
Netizens were laughing their heads off after hearing the extras' stories.
[Hahaha, just as I expected! No college student can resist the temptation of extra credits! (winks)]
There are also many actors whose names you may never have heard of, but a quick online search will reveal their presence in hundreds of films and television dramas.
Most of them have good acting skills, even better than the lead actors, but due to a lack of resources and connections, they have remained unknown for more than a decade.
This time, it has truly entered the public eye and been seen by more people.
The audience has discerning eyes; it's obvious who performed well.
In no time, the number of followers on the social media accounts of almost every participant was soaring.
The actors wrote heartfelt essays, tearfully thanking the production team, Teacher Wen, and President Lu for providing such a wonderful stage.
They've finally made it through the tough times.
It's not like agents haven't approached the show's producers, wanting to get their starlets onto the program.
But with President Lu guarding the place, not just any demons and monsters can come and ruin the gift he gave to Wen Yinhe.
Want to join the crew?
Manager Lu, are you dog shit or a celestial being? Let your abilities speak for themselves.
All of these factors combined to create the complete "Nine Tribulations of the Azure Netherworld: Prequel".
[If anyone ever says the Chinese entertainment industry is finished again, I'll show them Ali! The Chinese entertainment industry has never lacked good actors, it just lacks an opportunity to showcase them! Ali, you deserve to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!!!]
Although they all perished in the drama, everyone's careers are thriving off-screen! So sweet, their corpses are warm to the touch; forgive the world for a second!
[Hilarious! If this movie star were in the cultivation world, he'd be the embodiment of a supreme magic weapon for the path to ascension! Whoever he touches can ascend!]
Thus, another trending topic that was both laughable and absurd was posted on the trending list by a group of enthusiastic actors.
#Wen Yinhe's Midas Touch in the Entertainment Industry#
After Wen Yinhe's resurrection, he supported more and more talented people who had been overlooked, and this nickname became increasingly popular.
Later on, Wen Yinhe became almost universally recognized as a lucky charm in the entertainment industry.
His handsome photo was photoshopped into a picture of a koi fish radiating golden Buddha light.
At first, it was only used secretly by people in the industry, hoping that they would be noticed by Teacher Wen.
Later, it was accidentally leaked and went viral, with the entire internet starting to use the hashtag #ShareThisWenYinheForGoodLuck#.
That's quite an interesting story.
at this time.
Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin were both in a very disheveled state and needed to hurry back to the hotel to clean up.
Everyone, both inside and outside the live stream, knew exactly what was going to happen next.
Viewers watched as the two people, having removed their wigs and costumes, hurriedly clasped hands and rushed into the same bathroom, remarking with a sense of déjà vu:
Sigh, try to understand. These two haven't had sex for two whole days. For those two lovebirds, this must be like torture (doge).
After getting married twice, you can finally consummate your marriage! Hahaha, you two have endured so much for so long~
That's true.
Others feel like they've missed each other for three autumns if they don't see each other for a day.
For Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin, not being able to be close to each other for a day was like being gnawed at by insects, as if they were poisoned by the most painful poison in the world, and they could not get rid of it at all.
Neither of them spoke. As soon as they entered, they eagerly began tearing at each other's clothes, their lips meeting in a rapid kiss.
This flustered demeanor is unlike Wen Yinhe's usual orderly style.
It's clear that Wen Yinhe has been holding back a lot.
Wen Yinhe briefly withdrew from Lu Huaijin's lips, yanked off his hoodie from above his head, and as soon as his head was exposed, he eagerly kissed Lu Huaijin's lips again, racing against time as if he couldn't tolerate even a second of gap or waste.
Lu Huaijin's shirt was easier to take off than Wen Yinhe's, but the process of Wen Yinhe taking it off was somewhat awkward and indescribable.
Wen Yinhe unbuttoned a row of buttons on Lu Huaijin's shirt with one hand, but left them at his navel as if he had deliberately forgotten about them. Instead, he raised both hands and grasped Lu Huaijin's shoulders, one on each side.
Then, a burning hot hand peeled open the collar, reached inside, and slowly pushed down along Lu Huaijin's smooth, firm arm.
The snow-white shirt then sagged and slumped loosely in the crook of her fair arms.
Wen Yinhe's hand did not move away immediately, but continued to knead Lu Huaijin's arm, touching it inch by inch, moving up and down his smooth skin.
Throughout the entire process, their lips remained inseparable.
Their consciousnesses rose and fell in the passionate kiss.
Sometimes she was submerged, sometimes she would exhale, only to be blocked by the possessive other person in the next second.
Wen Yinhe's lips were passionate, even revealing a hint of beastly behavior, but his palms were incredibly gentle, carrying a deep and abiding tenderness, as if he were touching a precious treasure.
Lu Huaijin discovered that Wen Yinhe was quite talented in a certain sense.
Before meeting Wen Yinhe, he had never known that anyone could combine the two completely opposite words of unrestrainedness and self-control so perfectly.
Lu Huaijin's tongue felt numb.
His impatient nature became apparent; he lightly bit Wen Yinhe's lips and urged, "Hurry up..."
Wen Yinhe readily agreed and kissed him, lifting him up in his arms and burying his face in his neck.
Lu Huaijin's Adam's apple bobbed. He raised his head, frowned, and gripped Wen Yinhe's hair tightly. His back was pressed against the cold wall, while in front of him was Wen Yinhe's burning face. He was caught between two extremes.
An open shirt is very convenient.
Lu Huaijin couldn't help but raise his other hand and forcefully pinch Wen Yinhe's shoulder, instinctively pushing him away gently.
When Wen Yinhe moved away, she grabbed his head in dissatisfaction, not allowing him to leave without permission.
"Mr. Lu, give me a straight answer: do you want it or not?"
Wen Yinhe gently rested her soft cheek against Lu Huaijin's undulating, flushed chest, and lifted her eyelashes from bottom to top.
Her gaze upon Lu Huaijin was moist and lustful, almost as if she could kiss him deeply with just her eyes.
The hot, moist breath exhaled from his mouth and nose, carrying a ticklish sensation, sprayed onto a certain spot very close to his lips.
"Do you like it, or do you dislike it?"
As she spoke, she gently kissed him with her soft, full lips.
A dual impact of sight and touch.
Lu Huaijin was completely captivated, trembling all over, and said urgently, "I want...to like..."
He held Wen Yinhe's head tightly, straightened his back, and offered his chest: "Baby, more, hurry..."
