"You used to go to the mortal realm to train before, didn't you? Did Brother Jiang Lin encounter some trouble this time?" The little girl sobbed, she really didn't want to believe that Jiang Lin really wanted to drive her away.
Hot tears fell onto Jiang Lin's hand, burning his heart and causing it to ache.
"You're such a scoundrel! So annoying!" Jiang Lin said impatiently, waving his hand to push away Xiao Zhuyi's embrace. His eyes were sinister as he strode forward, setting up a barrier behind him to prevent Xiao Zhuyi from following him.
Zhu Yi was right next to Jiang Lin. She could see the helplessness and grievance of little Zhu Yi behind him, as well as the forbearance and unspeakable secrets hidden beneath Jiang Lin's cold gaze.
Jiang Lin's bright, star-like eyes were heavy with heartache and reluctance for Xiao Zhuyi, and his eyes were glistening with tears. But no matter how much pain and sorrow Jiang Lin felt, he could not truly shed tears.
He took out a communication talisman, which transformed into a small paper crane and flew away. Zhu Yi heard a hoarse voice in her ear: "Senior Brother Jiu Jiu, please take Zhu Yi back to Deng Lin and hand her over to Grandpa Old Peach Tree. I really have no other choice..."
Jiang Lin clenched his fists tightly in front of him, not daring to look back, afraid that if he looked, he would never be able to leave again, afraid that if he looked, he would expose his secret.
The pain on his arm burned, and a long, thin black snake was coiled around it in a sinister manner. Jiang Lin glanced at the snake tattoo on his arm, its forked tongue flicking out, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
His little peach blossom was as innocent as ever. He even said some embarrassing things to her, but instead of being angry, she cared for him as usual.
The little golden paper crane flew away from Jiang Lin, who stared at it longingly, as if it were someone he cared about.
In an instant, a girl in a pale yellow flowing dress appeared before Jiang Lin.
The beautiful young woman was adorned with jewels, as if afraid that these precious items would not reflect her noble status.
The jingling and swaying sounds were annoying.
Still arrogant and vicious, Jiang Lin raised his eyes and quietly looked at Jiang Chenying, who had a smug look on her face.
"What? You're worried about supervising me?"
Jiang Chenying smiled reservedly, taking a soft handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from Jiang Lin's forehead. She lowered her voice, "It hurts a lot, doesn't it? The Black-bellied Serpent Demon has injected her son's soul into your body. You've been hit by the Serpent Clan's Soul-Stealing Technique. You won't be able to hold on for long. When we get back, I'll ask my grandfather for our Jiang family's most precious treasure, the Nine Heavens Profound Jade. Just a small jade bead can help you break this serpent demon's technique."
Jiang Lin looked at the girl in front of him who was deliberately trying to get closer to him. Unlike Zhu Yi's purity, he felt that no matter how beautiful this woman dressed, she had a repulsive inner self.
“However, the Jiang family’s Nine Heavens Jade is never shown to others easily, unless…” Jiang Chenying said shyly, “unless you marry me, then you will become a member of the Jiang family, and my grandfather will agree to take out the Nine Heavens Jade to break the curse for you.”
He did not refuse Jiang Chenying's gesture of wiping his sweat, and listened quietly to Jiang Chenying talking to herself.
"If you hadn't colluded with the snake demon clan, I wouldn't have fallen for their poisonous scheme. Your self-righteous act of generosity in rescuing me was actually a calculated attempt to seduce me." Jiang Lin exposed Jiang Chenying without any mercy.
He is a Buddhist disciple who practices Buddhism while still keeping his hair. He is usually kind and gentle, but that doesn't mean he maintains a gentle attitude when facing people with malicious intentions.
He had never hated a female cultivator so much.
If she can't have something, she'll do anything to destroy it. This twisted young lady is truly disgusting.
She lowered her eyes to hide the disgust in them, and endured the pain in her chest. Little Peach Blossom should be able to see this, right?
That's fine. It's good to have seen it. When Yi'er returns to Denglin, with Grandpa Peach Tree and a group of cute little mountain spirits by her side, she should be able to forget him soon.
Then, at that time, he probably already perished together with Que Ze, that snake demon, right?
Jiang Chenying thought that Jiang Lin did not mean to refuse her, so she became bolder and reached out to hug half of Jiang Lin's arm.
"Since you know how much effort I went through to come up with this brilliant plan to get you, what are you hesitating for?" Jiang Chenying's voice was soft and seductive. "Wouldn't it be good to marry me? I can give you many things that that little girl can't..."
Jiang Lin couldn't shake off Jiang Chenying's clinging body and strode forward. He still had many things to do and wanted to finish them before his soul dissipated.
He has no regrets in this life, right? Yes, he did. He couldn't marry Yi'er as promised. He brought her out of Denglin, but he couldn't bring her back safely...
Zhu Yi, who was watching from the sidelines, clearly saw the arrogant confidence in Jiang Chenying's eyes, and also clearly saw the coldness and determination in Jiang Lin's eyes.
Only Xiao Zhuyi stood alone in the distance, watching Jiang Lin and Jiang Chenying get close to each other. The little girl cried even more heartbreakingly. Then, not caring about getting dirty, she wiped her snot and tears with her sleeve and ran away with her cheeks puffed out in anger.
Zhu Yi stood there dumbfounded, unsure whether to chase after Zhu Yi or check on Jiang Lin's current situation.
After a moment's thought, Zhu Yi decided to go and see Jiang Lin.
Actually, he wanted to see what kind of trouble Jiang Chenying was up to. Clearly, the last time he entered her dream, Jiang Lin had refused Jiang Chenying's invitation to her birthday banquet.
I reckon the two of them probably won't have any interaction.
There must have been a lot of trouble in between.
Sure enough, by the time Zhu Yi caught up with Jiang Lin, they had already turned the corner. Jiang Chenying was pushed away forcefully, stumbled and fell to the ground, looking at Jiang Lin with a shocked and angry expression.
"Brother Jiang Lin! Why are you so stubborn! Without the Nine Heavens Jade, you will die!"
Jiang Lin stared at her with an unwavering expression, as if she were a dead person.
His deep, vertical pupils were revealed, and fine, dark scales appeared on Jiang Lin's neck.
"Jiang Chenying, don't keep testing my patience."
Jiang Chenying, lying on the ground, felt the temperature around her suddenly drop. Jiang Lin's fingers flickered with a ghostly blue flame, which transformed into streaks of fire that rushed towards Jiang Chenying's face.
"No! No! Brother Jiang Lin!" Jiang Chenying was terrified and kept backing away. "Don't hurt me with your ghost fire!"
"Ah!" A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky. Jiang Chenying's face turned red, and she instantly lost her color, rolling on the ground howling and cursing wildly.
"What's so great about that poor girl Zhu Yi? What's so good about her that you're protecting her like this?"
"Ouch! It hurts! Stop it!"
Jiang Chenying's distorted expression could not relieve Jiang Lin's distress, but Jiang Lin wanted to make this hypocritical woman suffer as well. He made his five fingers into claws and increased the intensity of the burning ghost fire, causing the fire snakes to rage!
This forced Jiang Chenying to roll on the ground repeatedly.
"If it weren't for the Nine Heavens Jade of our Jiang family, you would have been possessed by Que Ze sooner or later. At that time, not only would your soul be scattered, but your little girl, Que Ze would also use your skin to skin her alive and tear her tendons apart!"
"Whatever you want. Before that, you should think about what you should do." Jiang Lin's voice remained unchanged, calm as still water, without any ripples.
Zhu Yi was stunned. The flame Jiang Lin used was none other than the Netherworld Ghost Fire!
