Song Jiao stood in the crowd, with a subtle hint of mockery in her eyes.
She recalled the arrogance that Ning Bai and Xia Qian once had. At that time, they were like floating fairies, high above and unconcerned with the worldly affairs.
But now, seeing them being ordered by the villagers to do all kinds of hard labor during the day and huddled in the corner at night, such a disparity is really sad.
"This is the life you should experience." Song Jiao is very satisfied with the current appearance of the male and female protagonists.
Now, she has become a goddess in the eyes of the villagers, using her abilities to heal the villagers' pain, and her reputation is becoming more and more famous in the village.
After rebuilding their home, the villagers even built a goddess temple for her to express their gratitude and admiration for her.
In contrast, Ning Bai and Xia Qian have completely become mortals.
Xia Qian touched his hands which had become rough from hard work, and a trace of unwillingness and anger flashed in his eyes.
She turned to Ning Bai, her voice sharp and piercing: "Look at my hands! Is this the protection you promised to give me?"
Ning Bai was already in a bad mood, and now he could no longer tolerate it. He raised his hand and slapped Xia Qian in the face, "That's enough! We've been making such a fuss for so long, isn't that enough?"
Xia Qian covered her aching cheek and looked at Ning Bai in disbelief. "You dare to hit me? You hit me just for those vulgar villagers?"
A trace of disgust flashed in Ning Bai's eyes. "I've put up with you for a long time. If you hadn't been making trouble all this time, would we have ended up like this? And now you're putting the blame on me?"
The quarrel between the two became louder and louder, and the surrounding villagers began to watch.
They used to be immortals that the villagers looked up to, but now they were quarreling and fighting on the streets like ordinary people, which made the villagers feel both novel and excited.
"Fight! Keep fighting!" someone shouted.
"We haven't seen immortals fighting yet. Let us open our eyes!" another person shouted.
Xia Qian became even angrier when she heard these taunts.
She rushed towards Ning Bai, wanting to fight back. The two of them fought fiercely in the street, while the villagers watched and cheered.
Song Jiao stood in the crowd, quietly eating melon seeds, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
She watched Xia Qian and Ning Bai fall from ethereal immortals to miserable mortals, and an inexplicable pleasure surged in her heart.
When Xia Qian saw her in the crowd and tried to rush over, she was stopped by the villagers.
"Someone wants to touch the goddess!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
Then, the villagers rushed forward and beat Xia Qian violently.
Ning Bai did not stop them this time. He seemed to have completely given up on Xia Qian and let her be besieged by the villagers.
Song Jiao sneered and enjoyed the farce.
When Xia Qian was beaten badly, Song Jiao spoke up to stop the villagers, "Okay, okay, stop fighting. I'm fine, everyone, go away." Her tone was relaxed and cheerful, as if she was watching a good show that had nothing to do with her.
Xia Qian struggled to stand up and pointed at Song Jiao angrily, "Why are you pretending to be a good person? If it weren't for you, would we have become like this?"
Her voice was full of resentment and unwillingness, but Song Jiao just looked at her coldly, without a trace of guilt or sympathy on her face.
Xia Qian's hair was disheveled, and she screamed with hatred on her face: "Yan Xue, I will kill you!"
She rushed towards Song Jiao frantically, her hands seeming to want to strangle her.
However, Song Jiao just stood there. Facing the rushing Xia Qian, she lightly tapped her finger, and a white light fell from the sky, enveloping Xia Qian.
"You want to kill me so much? Then break this barrier first!" Song Jiao's voice was cold and teasing.
Xia Qian was trapped in the aperture. She struggled desperately, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break through this seemingly weak but indestructible barrier.
Her heart was filled with murderous intent. The hatred was so strong that countless black mists began to emerge around her. These black mists, with strange purple light, rushed into her body.
Ning Bai came back to his senses at this moment, and he looked at Xia Qian's changes in shock.
He realized that Xia Qian was falling into evil. He tried to get closer to Xia Qian, wanting to stop this terrible process, but his efforts seemed to be in vain.
Xia Qian's body was gradually shrouded in black mist, her eyes turned red, her face twisted, and she was completely transformed into a demon.
Finally, Xia Qian broke the barrier, and she rushed towards Song Jiao with an evil aura all over her body.
However, Song Jiao was not afraid at all. She raised her hand and a divine weapon called the God-Slaying Sword appeared in her hand.
Song Jiao swung her sword with force, and a sharp sword energy slashed towards Xia Qian.
Xia Qian, who was coming towards him, was knocked away by the sword energy and fell heavily to the ground.
She struggled to stand up and glared at Ning Bai fiercely, her eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.
Then she turned and ran away, leaving a mess behind.
Song Jiao looked at Xia Qian's departing back, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.
She turned to the villagers and said, "Don't worry, she is no longer a threat."
However, Ning Bai couldn't calm down.
He looked at the woman he once loved becoming what she is now, and his heart was filled with pain and regret.
Song Jiao had already communicated with the ancient god in her heart and began to communicate with the ancient god silently.
Deep in her heart, she conveyed Ning Bai's plight, his loyalty and sacrifice to the ancient god, and asked the ancient god to restore Ning Bai's immortal status and give him a new mission - to hunt down Xia Qian who had fallen into demonism.
Killing each other would be wonderful! How can we let them end it like this?
A moment later, a mysterious force slowly descended.
Ning Bai suddenly felt a warm current flowing into his body, and his cultivation was fully restored in an instant, even stronger than before.
At the same time, a majestic and ancient voice sounded in his ears: "Ning Bai, your immortal status has been restored. Now, I order you to deal with the fallen demon Xia Qian."
Ning Bai looked at the void in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
He hesitated and said, "Ancient God, Xia Qian was just upset for a moment. Can you spare her life?"
The ancient god's voice was emotionless: "You now have two choices, continue to be a mortal, or follow my orders and kill Xia Qian."
Ning Bai felt mixed emotions. He knew very well that during this time as a mortal, he had endured too much suffering and powerlessness.
Returning to the throne of God is undoubtedly a huge temptation for him.
But at the same time, he also knew that Xia Qian was once his beloved, and they had fought side by side and faced countless challenges together.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ning Bai took a deep breath and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He slowly said, "Okay! I'll go kill Xia Qian."
Song Jiao chuckled coldly!
Look! Some people are just in love on the surface. As long as they are given enough benefits, love is bullshit.
"Just wait for dog to bite dog!"
