Chapter 91 You think you can have a fairy partner?
The old ancestor was determined to die.
Bai Yanxing said, "I didn't capture Xue Ciyi, but I found the Wilderness Clan people he planted in the Diligent Governance Hall. They are all currently imprisoned in the heavily guarded Heavenly Extreme Dungeon. It's safe here now, and your safety can be guaranteed as well."
Young Master Huang sighed, thinking to himself that Bai Yanxing was still too lenient. If this were handled by the Imperial Court, why would they need to lock him up in a prison? They would use severe torture to extract whatever they could from him, and if they couldn't get any information, they would just deal with him on the spot.
Little Master Huang was unaware of the Wilderness Clan's methods and thought they were just doing things for money. Who would have thought that the Imperial Clan would even dare to kill ancient artifacts?
The last time he sent Zhu Yan to Fuyu Mountain, he was carrying the God-Severing Slash, which could sever a soul with one strike and destroy a god with another!
—I accepted one million spirit treasures and three chests of gold from the Desolate Clan…
Little Master Huang picked up a pen and paper and wrote down, stroke by stroke, all the details of his previous conspiracy with Xue Ciyi to lure Duan Jiuyou.
Bai Yanxing watched silently, unable to describe the feelings in his heart.
Duan Jiuyou believed that the chosen one was real, and to avoid divine punishment that would harm all living beings, deciding to re-establish the ruler of the Heavenly Realm was not a mistake. But what about him? What about the man she had pushed onto the throne? Did she not care at all?
She kept Di Jiang by her side, twice using the excuse of seclusion to buy him time to recuperate. She planned for him and worried about him. She must have been extremely anxious when the wolf cub was switched at birth last time.
And that heavy rain at Mount Dixi, it cleared up in the middle of the night, was it because Emperor Jiang went back?
Bai Yanxing stroked the wolf cub thoughtfully, his expression darkening once more.
The aura emanating from it seemed to have returned, indicating that the primordial spirit of the Emperor's realm was recovering. This recovery was not merely restoration, but a complete return.
What did she do to reshape the Emperor's primordial spirit in just half a day?
If she knew that her destined love was a lie, would she regret what she did today?
She can only choose between the Wilderness Clan and the Dragon Clan. Will she continue to assist the Emperor?
Bai Yanxing knew he couldn't control Duan Jiuyou's thoughts, but before that, he had to let Jiuyou know the truth!
...
After Di Jiang woke up, the first thing he did was go to see Duan Jiuyou.
His primordial spirit was restored, completely and without a single fragment missing.
He heard that she had taken him to Wanshan Ridge. He knew the rules of Feng Nanyu, the master of Wanshan Ridge. He was able to fully recover because she must have exchanged something with him.
But she kept her mouth shut and refused to utter a single word.
She had no injuries, and her clothes had been changed after she returned. He couldn't find any marks on her, so he could only watch over her until she woke up and wait for her to give him an answer.
A day and a night passed. Duan Jiuyou slept soundly. Di Jiang sat by the bed watching her. Thinking of how she had stayed by his side during his two previous bouts of serious illness and coma, his sorrow deepened.
He suddenly understood why Duan Jiuyou had rejected him time and time again.
She has a long lifespan and is afraid of losing those around her. If their roles were reversed, with him being immortal and her having a limited lifespan as an immortal, and he being in a position where he would inevitably face the departure of his lover, would he choose not to begin?
“I have actually thought of many solutions. There is a dragon in the North Sea, and its pearl can grant a lifespan of ten thousand years. There is an immortal in the South Mountain, and there are also life-extending pills available. You are afraid that I cannot stay with you for long, so how could I bear to leave you alone in this world? However, none of these are long-term solutions. I have a better way.”
He toyed with her hand and said casually, "The gods cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation because of their divine bones. Once I reclaim the Heavenly Realm and stabilize my kingdom, I will remove this divine bone. Even if I die then, I will still be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation. You can accompany me to cultivate immortality, and I can accompany you for thousands of years. When I can no longer accompany you, I will enter the cycle of reincarnation again and cultivate an immortal body once more. I'm just afraid that by then you won't be afraid of my death, but will find me annoying."
He chuckled softly, his eyes filled with deep affection.
He was unaware that she had already sacrificed a bone for him.
She was unaware that he was willing to give up even being a god in order to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
...
"……pain."
Duan Jiuyou slowly woke up, and the first word he uttered was: "Pain."
Emperor Jiang's expression changed drastically, and the deep affection in his eyes instantly turned cold.
Pain? Why would she cry out in pain?
What exactly did Feng Nanyu take from her?
Just then, Jiuyou opened his eyes. Upon seeing the storm brewing on Dijiang's face, he immediately changed the subject, saying, "Was my red vine staff left in Wanshan Ridge?"
Di Jiang's eyes were still filled with doubt as he observed Duan Jiuyou's expression. He removed the hairpin from her hair and said, "You didn't lose it. You've been wearing it all along. Did you use this magic artifact before?"
Jiuyou grabbed the hairpin in his hand and said, "That idle young master really deserves to be taught a lesson. He actually made me kneel on the cloud ladder before he would save people. You know my temperament. How could I give in to his wishes? I directly cut the cloud ladder in half with a stick."
This was indeed Duan Jiuyou's style, but Di Jiang did not believe her.
"You kept crying out in pain while you were unconscious, it seemed like you were in a lot of agony."
He only heard her say the word "pain," but the word was very clear and definitely not like the red rattan cane she had mentioned.
Duan Jiuyou knew that Di Jiang was shrewd, so he propped himself up and sat up, asking in surprise, "Why would I cry out in pain? Last time I had a stone stuck in my foot, it was you who reminded me. Ao Zong was born without feeling pain, how could you forget even that?"
The Emperor's territory has not been forgotten, and the more he remembers it, the more confused he becomes.
"My primordial spirit has been greatly healed. What did you use to make a deal with Feng Nanyu?"
“I get angry just thinking about it!” Jiuyou frowned indignantly: “That idle young master is a stubborn person. I wanted to cut off his flesh and let his blood to save you, but he said that his flesh and blood would only be effective if he was willing to give it to me. I had no other choice, so I asked him how he would be willing to save you, and he asked me for 30 million years of cultivation.”
"He took your 30 million years of cultivation?" Di Jiang narrowed his eyes. Regardless of whether the answer was true or not, he would not let Feng Nanyu get away with it.
Di Jiang stood up to leave, but Duan Jiuyou grabbed him with some effort: "He's no longer in Wanshan Ridge, what are you still looking for him for?! Besides, this can be considered an equal exchange. He sacrificed a few pounds of his own flesh to restore your primordial spirit. My Ao Sect is known for its martial prowess, losing tens of millions of cultivation points is unacceptable..."
"But why have you been unconscious for so long? And why are you so weak?" Di Jiang frowned, moving the arm that Duan Jiuyou was holding. She had no strength in her hand; in the past, when she held him like this, he felt as if he were bound by an iron chain.
Fearing he would see through her act, Jiuyou suddenly shouted, "I gave away so much cultivation, can't I be weak? On the contrary, I've done so much for you, why do you only care about what I gave Feng Nanyu, and not about my health?"
Di Jiang was taken aback by Duan Jiuyou's shout. She still had doubts in her heart, but she glared at him and seemed really angry.
After hesitating for a moment, I decided to try to appease her first: "It's not that I don't care."
"Why do you keep asking me all this nonsense? Since I woke up, have you asked me where I feel unwell, if I'm hungry, thirsty, or if I want a sweet drink?! You think you can have a fairy companion? You're not the kind of person who's meant to be someone's partner!"
Jiuyou has a bad temper, and her past tolerance of him wasn't truly due to a submissive nature. Dijiang had been scolded by her several times, but this was the worst she had ever done.
He opened his mouth, but was somewhat afraid to provoke her.
"Then shall I call my doctor, the Wilderness Doctor, in to take a look at you?"
"What kind of doctor are you? I've already said I only gave you some cultivation. If you care about me, you should have someone bring me some food and drink. I'm so hungry I'm panting when I speak, can't you tell?!"
Di Jiang understood, but how to put it... she was indeed weak and powerless at first, but when she scolded him, she was full of energy. He couldn't say these words to her face, so he could only walk outside.
Food and drink were prepared for her, of course, but he hadn't had time to call someone to bring them up. He called out to someone, then added after a moment's thought, "Hurry up."
The young lady in this house is in a terrible mood today; if we're slow in delivering the food, she might get angry again.
Since the people in the abandoned house gained a soul, they became much more clever. The food was served quickly, along with the fruit drink that Duan Jiuyou often drank.
Seeing that Jiuyou showed no intention of getting out of bed, Dijiang personally moved a kang table over and set out the food.
Without saying a word, Duan Jiuyou picked up his chopsticks and started eating, clearly very hungry.
Two days and one night. Di Jiang calculated the time; it had been two days and one night since Jiu You went to Wanshan Ridge. With insufficient spiritual energy at the Tenth Realm and having not eaten for so long, it was normal for her to be irritable.
On the contrary, he did not do well today, as he served her food while saying this.
“I’m not unconcerned about you, I’m just worried that something might be wrong with your health. Eat slowly, don’t eat too much, and if you want to eat later, I’ll have someone make it for you.”
She ate and mumbled incoherently, "What problem could I possibly have? I can't die, and I don't feel pain when I'm injured. I see that your complexion is rosy and you're no longer sick. Are you feeling much better? If you are, that's good. From now on, treat me well and spoil me like your precious darling. That will be your way of repaying my kindness."
"What did you say?"
When he asked this question, Di Jiang had already laughed.
As intelligent as he was, how could he not sense the unusual nature of her words? She usually avoided these kinds of topics, so her bringing them up this time must mean she had made some kind of decision.
Jiuyou was also eating and laughing at the same time.
"Don't play dumb. Isn't that exactly what you're thinking?"
"What do you mean?" Di Jiang's joy was overflowing, and he insisted that she say it herself.
Jiuyou put down his chopsticks, took two big gulps of sweet drink, and said, "I'm not going to die. Let's become immortal couples. Even if you can't accompany me for a long life, don't let down our true feelings now."
