Chapter 134 You Go Save People, I Promise to Go, and I'll Break Up with Mingguang.
Bitao leaned against the door, tilting her head to look at Dongjun with a defiant gaze: "It's all a competition in the lower realms, why should I care about other people's progress?"
Dongjun smiled dismissively: "She's no ordinary person; isn't she your best friend?"
"Just like you, she's a womanizer and a libertine, just like you, she takes the unorthodox path. You rely on schemes and tricks, while she relies entirely on luck."
In Dongjun's view, allowing such a celestial being to make it to this third competition, vying for the positions of generals in various departments of the Nine Heavens, meant that the Nine Heavens were doomed.
Bitao shrugged: "So? What are you trying to tell me? Did Zhan Kui ascend to heaven?"
The peach blossoms are provoking Dongjun.
He carefully observed Dongjun's expression.
Unexpectedly, Dongjun did not fall for the trick this time.
He still maintained that sinister expression, his eyes holding a deep darkness that Bitao could not fathom.
Although he is impulsive and has a bad temper, he had suffered several losses at Bitao's hands before.
This time, I thoroughly investigated Bitao and believe I have completely mastered how to deal with her.
Bitao was somewhat surprised that Dongjun had actually learned to keep his emotions hidden.
It's only been a few days, how could it have evolved so quickly?
"I'll tell you once we separate."
Bitao: "Tell me if you want, or don't!"
Then she turned around and called out to Mingguang in the room, "My darling, my baby, my dear little Wuwu, I'm here!"
Dongjun's composure, which was supposed to be "unflappable," was shattered by Bitao's sharp, high-pitched calls.
He grabbed Bitao by the back of the neck...
No, when Shangyuan Shenzhen looked closely from the roof beam, he realized that Dongjun wasn't grabbing Bitao by the back of her collar with his hand; he had somehow made a hook and hidden it inside his sleeve.
He reached out and hooked the back of Bitao's collar, pulling her back.
Upper God True: "..."
Isn't this a wire replica of the "Golden Crow Claw," a magical artifact specially crafted by Dongjun when he was in Shangqing Realm, which he only used when he had to use his hands to deal with demons?
Dongjun even used iron wire to twist this kind of thing, which clearly shows that in his mind, Bitao has already been classified as one of those difficult-to-deal-with demons.
Bitao was pulled backward, and seeing that Dongjun was using "tools" to deal with her, she couldn't help but laugh.
Dongjun quickly took the wire back.
Looking at Bitao, he said, "Let's separate."
Bitao straightened her neck and said, "No."
Dongjun gritted his teeth: "You're not going to care about your friends?"
Bitao: "Even if you learn to remain calm in the face of a collapsing mountain in a short time, you can't hide it from me."
"You came to me to make a deal using Zhan Kui, which proves that Zhan Kui has not ascended to heaven."
"If she didn't ascend, then she must be in danger."
How could there be no danger on the competition field?
"You know she's a lucky koi fairy. I'm in real danger right now, why should I worry about a lucky koi fairy?"
Bitao said, "You probably have never had friends. Friends are indeed people who help each other, but once you're off the field, whatever happens depends on your own abilities. How can I interfere too much?"
Dongjun was mocked for having no friends, and he was in a bad mood.
He really doesn't have many friends.
He disdains making friends!
Just as he had never had anyone he liked, he felt that no one was good enough for him.
But he has a master!
When you're in a bad mood, your complexion naturally suffers.
He thought to himself that this Bitao was really too cunning. His silly younger brother had fallen into her hands, and she was going to play him to death.
However, Dongjun was indeed well-prepared this time.
The first move was exposed before it could even be made.
He quickly made his second move.
"You're not going to do anything?"
"If you weren't there for the first competition, no matter how strong Zhan Kui's luck was, he was like all fish—not very bright. How could he have accumulated so much merit to ascend to the heavens?"
"If it weren't for you in the second competition, she would probably have been possessed by that Xuanmen patriarch, and she wouldn't have been able to take her incompetent lover with her to the afterlife."
Dongjun had always thought that the racial innate skills of the Ancient Immortal Clan were extremely useful.
For example, his feet seemed to move with the wind, and his brother's words could dispel illusions.
But these days he's been so fooled that his head is spinning.
Only then can one admit that having a sharp mind is the most powerful "talent skill" in the world.
However, Dongjun has encountered many intelligent people in his life, but the only one whose intelligence can be described as a "natural skill" is the one in front of him, Bitao, who makes his teeth itch.
Have you ever heard the saying, "Too clever by half"?
Dongjun said, "Your plan for the second competition, which was very good, was for that lucky koi to win. It's just a pity that she is a lecherous fool."
"Even in that life-or-death situation, she still didn't forget to save her useless lover."
"You were a step too late in the end, and failed to become a bridge to reincarnation, instead of lying down and enjoying the increase of merit. You were instead transported into the River of Oblivion."
"The River of Oblivion is formed by the gathering of remnants of souls from all realms. All life force that falls into it will be completely absorbed."
"She could have escaped in other ways, but she fell into the River of Oblivion and refused to give up her lover, insisting on taking him to heaven with her."
Bitao looked at Dongjun, completely baffled as to what he was trying to say.
I don't want to listen anymore.
But when Bitao turned to leave again, Dongjun said, "You should know that vitality is spiritual energy, and when spiritual energy accumulates, it becomes fortune."
"She spent thirty years in the River of Oblivion, where she was absorbed by countless remnant souls and turned into a skeleton."
"All her vitality has been lost, and her good fortune has naturally vanished as well."
"After she passed away in the last competition, she should have transformed into Zhujiuyin, but she only transformed into a young dragon. Why do you think that is?"
"That's because her luck has run out, and the life force in her body can no longer continue."
Dongjun, with his arms crossed and his imposing stature, stood in front of Bitao and said, "You guessed right, she is indeed in danger."
"If you were in that dangerous situation, there might be a chance of escape."
"But she absolutely cannot escape."
"She's even being dragged down by that ridiculous lover of hers."
Dongjun once again revealed his purpose: "After separating from my brother, I will go and help you save that little carp."
“I know you are competing, but since I am here, I am an ‘unpredictable factor’ in the competition. Whatever I do will not affect the outcome of your competition.”
"So? Did you get the deal?"
Bitao remained silent for a moment, watching Dongjun's confident and determined expression.
I always felt that things weren't that simple.
Therefore, she wasn't in a hurry to fall for it and continued to shake her head: "No way."
"As a celestial being, one must follow the natural way and accept that life and death are preordained. If she were to perish here, Heaven will surely punish her."
Bitao turned around to open the door.
Annoyance flashed across Dong Jun's face.
Unexpectedly, the second move also failed.
He gritted his teeth and thought—this bone is really hard to gnaw on!
Even the old demons and monsters of the Shangqing Realm might not be able to withstand two of his moves!
So annoying!
Dongjun took a deep breath and launched his third move.
"I have killed at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, demonic dragons."
"When Zhu Jiuyin opens its eyes, it is daytime; when it closes its eyes, it is nighttime; when it breathes, summer turns to winter. It is indeed an ancient divine dragon."
"But you may not know that Zhu Jiuyin's lifespan is limitless and his abilities are powerful, but he obtained them in exchange for other things."
"If the true form of all Zhu Jiuyin is dead, then they are truly dead."
"That Zhan Kui was originally a young dragon of Zhu Jiuyin. His spiritual energy and vitality were insufficient, so he died in this world. There is no such thing as returning to heaven to establish his position."
Bitao paused as she was about to open the door.
Dongjun said, "If you had known this, I believe you would not have allowed her to participate in the third competition."
"But there's nothing we can do, she's already down here."
"Besides, no matter how learned you are, there aren't many records about demons, monsters, or even ancient divine beasts in the Taiqing Realm. It's no wonder you don't know."
"Do you really think that any random carp in the Nine Heavens can transform into a human, let alone a Zhulong?"
"She was the mount of the Southern Dipper Star Lord. She died in ancient times to protect her master and has not appeared in the world for tens of thousands of years. Somehow, her spirit ended up in the body of a small carp... which is why she has such extraordinary luck."
"Originally, with her good fortune, she might have been able to live a carefree life."
"But in the second competition, you deliberately plotted and schemed to take her to the afterlife with you. You schemed to send her to the River of Oblivion, where she exhausted her life force."
"This is what happens when you're too clever for your own good."
"Her immortal pearl has been dug out, and she's locked in a dungeon, soaking in sewage."
"Originally, she was a carp spirit and a baby Zhulong, so it wouldn't have been a big deal for her to soak in water."
"But she still refused to give up the lover who had exhausted her luck. She was afraid that she would ruin him and let that good-for-nothing man ride on her shoulders."
"It won't be long before they're all dead."
Dongjun didn't want to explain so much.
Unfortunately, Bitao is too difficult to deal with. She won't shed tears until she sees the coffin, and she won't release the hawk until she sees the rabbit.
He asked Bitao one last time, "Should I save her or not?"
Bitao slowly turned around, her expression solemn.
This was the first time Dongjun had seen her with such a somber expression. She had always looked relaxed when she herself was arrested.
Dongjun chuckled upon seeing this, knowing that she had taken his words to heart.
Bitao did indeed believe Dongjun's words.
Because she had always wondered where Zhan Kui's good fortune came from.
Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; no one receives gifts or favors from heaven for no reason.
At first, Bitao secretly observed whether those who had associated with Zhan Kui would be influenced by her, or even have their luck stolen.
But it was later discovered that Zhan Kui's good fortune did not harm others, and he could even lend some money to others occasionally.
In the first two competitions, Zhan Kui easily passed the life-or-death moments.
Bitao ascended to the Xuanxian realm and witnessed the cause and effect between Zhan Kui and Guanghan, learning that Zhan Kui was Guanghan's "mount".
She believed that Zhan Kui and Guang Han shared both prosperity and adversity. Zhan Kui's fortune likely came from the sustenance of the six stars of the Southern Dipper.
But this doesn't make sense either, because Guanghan, the successor of the Southern Dipper Star Lord, didn't receive any offerings, so there's no reason why his mount would receive offerings.
Now, with the records of Shangqing Realm combined with his innate deep understanding of the ancient immortal clan, Bitao finally understood why Zhankui was so lucky when he was a carp.
That was caused by the powerful divine power that had not been consumed in the soul of Zhu Jiuyin, who was nourished by the six stars of the Southern Dipper tens of thousands of years ago, after his sudden and violent death.
Therefore, Zhan Kui's luck was truly exhausted during the previous thirty years in the River of Oblivion.
"I advise you to think it over as soon as possible. The Immortal Realm is quite vast, and she is located far away. Even if I rush from here to rescue her, it will take some time."
"What if she dies before I get there..."
Dongjun instinctively wanted to give a sarcastic laugh, but when he met Bitao's unsmiling eyes, he couldn't manage to force a smile.
A silent yet terrifying storm suddenly raged in her peach blossom eyes.
Just like her ultimate move that later propelled her to the level of a Mystic Immortal—the Thousand Cuts.
Beautiful and grand, yet brimming with murderous intent.
Dongjun, unusually, straightened his lips and awaited Bitao's decision.
He believed that Bitao would definitely agree.
Because he understood her, and knew that even though she was incredibly intelligent and acted strangely and eccentrically, she had a heart full of righteousness and integrity.
She still had compassion for all the weak and vulnerable, and could not possibly disregard the life and death of her own friend.
And Dongjun's gamble paid off.
Bitao was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."
She said, "I promised to break up with Mingguang, and you go save the person."
