Nie Yinzhi rested her forehead on his chest and could clearly hear the beating heart in Gu Jiang's chest. The palm holding her hand was slightly cool, but the spiritual energy outside the cloud boat became more and more dense. The flowing clouds kept disappearing, but more spiritual mist surged out, forming a fluffy cloud that blocked the starlight.

"I know you like me." Nie Yinzhi said.

Gu Jiang felt the wetness soaking through his clothes, took a half step back, held her face and lifted it up, "Nie Yinzhi, why do you shed tears so easily?" Nie Yinzhi

choked and blinked, tears dripped down her chin into his palm, Gu Jiang lowered his head and bit her chin irritably, licking the tears that kept gathering on her chin into his mouth.

He softened his tone and said, "Don't cry, those old men who have been oppressed for more than two thousand years can support a cave of ten thousand demons, my magic energy is all under my control, this little bit of magic energy is nothing to me, it's not worth your tears."

Nie Yinzhi's eyes were confused for a moment, what he said seemed to make some sense, but even so, his magic energy was finally fading.

"How can it be nothing? I'm not a fool. Do you think I can't figure it out..."

Gu Jiang had to bear the might of heaven while enduring her blood burning in his body. He could still contend with the Heavenly Dao and the righteous monks, but his magic energy was lost and his strength dropped to a point. Once that balance was broken, he would be unable to control his magic energy like the other four demon ancestors. He didn't even need to become too weak, and many people would want to kill him.

"Now I don't know if those demon ancestors are still alive. Maybe they have turned into magic energy and no longer exist."

Nie Yinzhi's mind was full of random thoughts, and her heart was aching.

The person who made her feel distressed was pinching her chin and chirping on her face. He used to think that Nie Yinzhi's blood was sweet, but now even her tears were so tempting. Gu Jiang lowered his eyes and stared at her chattering mouth for a moment, then lowered his head and took it in his mouth, penetrating it.

"Are you listening to me or not..." Nie Yinzhi was forced to be silent, his eyes widened, and the whole person was a little dazed. Nie

Yinzhi couldn't control herself and retreated backwards, her back against the side of the boat, completely trapped by Gu Jiang's tall figure. She grabbed his sleeves randomly, and there was only a blank in her mind. She smelled that cold fragrance again.

What Gu Jiang did couldn't be called a kiss at all. It was just the same as the time when the evil spirit penetrated into her mouth and entangled her.

The person who was pressed against her body began to feel hot again. Nie Yinzhi's body softened, and she saw the thin spiritual mist coming out of his body with the remaining light of her slightly closed eyes. She suddenly opened her eyes, sobered up, and pushed him away with a hum.

As soon as she resisted, Gu Jiang stepped back, raised his hand and wiped his lips. After a long while, the addicted look on his face faded away, and the spiritual mist lingering between the collar and sleeves of his body suddenly dissipated, moved to the outside of the cloud boat, and soon gathered into an endless cloud.

Gu Jiang's eyes sank, and he turned around. A wind blade from his sleeve whizzed towards the corridor leading to the deck.

The wind blade collided with the cold iron with a sharp "clang" sound.

A figure quickly swept away, turned over and hid behind the stairs on the side, and said in a overlapping voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, I just came out for a walk after practicing."

Gu Jiang ignored him, hugged Nie Yinzhi, and disappeared from the spot.

The pressure dissipated, and the hiding person slowly emerged from behind the stairs. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no one on the deck. He walked up to the deck cautiously, step by step, and looked at the clouds outside the barrier.

In the room, a ball of magic appeared on the bed. After the magic dissipated, two people appeared. Nie Yinzhi turned around and sat on Gu Jiang. Before he could react, he was grabbed by the back of his head and pressed down.

Wait, do you want to kiss me again?

Nie Yinzhi quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth and kissed the back of his hand.

"What are you doing? Don't think you can change the subject by selling your sex appeal. Even...even if you do this, I can remain calm." Nie Yinzhi's voice was soft, with tears in her eyes from being kissed. She frowned, looking as if she didn't know what to do with him.

Gu Jiang's breath burned her palms, "Come in and take a look for yourself."

"Into...where?" Nie Yinzhi said, and the scene in front of her eyes suddenly darkened.

Then, a thunderbolt flashed past, and Nie Yinzhi stepped back and was held in someone's arms. Gu Jiang whispered in her ear: "This is the time when I will transcend the tribulation and ascend to heaven, and it is also the time when I will fall into the devil."

The sky was filled with thick clouds, and there was no end in sight. Countless huge electric pillars fell and were torn apart by the shadow-like knife light. This should be the last moment of the tribulation. After the lightning that surged down and shook the world, a beam

of light was torn apart on the sky. Nie Yinzhi couldn't help but hold Gu Jiang's hand tightly. She watched the person in the air step into the light. When the figure was about to disappear, for some reason, a sharp knife light suddenly burst out and slashed into the sky.

Cutting off his path to ascension.

Then, lightning that was several times more powerful than before fell in succession, connecting the sky and the earth. Countless lightning pillars fell with every breath.

The lightning was too dazzling, and almost nothing could be seen clearly. One could only vaguely see the figure in the air being torn apart by the thunder and then re-condensed. Nie Yinzhi could not hear any sound, but he could see the overturned mountains and rivers and the cracked earth. Even if he was watching the fire from the other side of the river, he was shocked by such a large formation. "Is this the heavenly tribulation of ascension?"

Gu Jiang said, "It is the heavenly punishment of the fallen demon."

Nie Yinzhi could feel the game between the two forces. The rolling spiritual energy turned into mist and snow between thunder and lightning, condensed into flowers in spring and summer, and turned into loess in a moment. The loess formed a high mountain cliff, the mountain top was covered with white snow, and the snow turned into water, rushing down.

These mirage-like scenes changed too quickly. Finally, the sword light tore through the calamity clouds, the illusions shattered, and the surging spiritual energy was all gathered, peeled off from between heaven and earth, and returned to the control of one person.

Nie Yinzhi saw the first strand of demonic energy born in his palm, black and red intertwined between his fingers, "Blood Moon Shadow?"

"Yes." Gu Jiang has now recognized this name.

After that, Nie Yinzhi's consciousness fell into a thick darkness, as if immersed in water.

Perhaps sensing her thoughts, the dark red black water shook for a few breaths, and a small island appeared out of thin air under her feet, lifting her to the surface of the water. There was nothing around her, just a lake that looked like ink.

She stretched out her hand and scooped up a handful of it, and the devil energy condensed into water leaked out from between her white fingers. She was stunned for a moment, and concluded: "Blood Moon Shadow, the so-called devil energy, is actually the spiritual energy that has been stripped away from between heaven and earth?"

Gu Jiang replied: "That's right."

The first step in a cultivator's cultivation is to open up his spiritual channels, communicate with heaven and earth, and introduce spiritual energy to refine himself. The spiritual energy is refined into his own true essence in the meridians. In the final analysis, it is still "spiritual energy", and will return to heaven and earth after his death.

But the demonic energy is different. The stripped demonic energy does not blend with the heaven and earth, but becomes an independent entity. It needs an intermediate measure like the Demon Sealing Seal to return to its original nature. Nie Yinzhi's blood and the Demon Sealing Seal have the same effect.

No wonder the demonic energy can be transformed into spiritual energy. No wonder the Demon Ancestor is not tolerated by the heaven and earth.

Nie Yinzhi thought for a moment and asked, "How much demonic energy have you dissolved, and how much spiritual energy have you stripped from the heaven and earth to use for yourself, can you make up for it?"

Her idea was so simple that it made Gu Jiang want to laugh, "A cultivator needs to open up his spiritual channels to communicate with the heaven and earth and absorb spiritual energy into his body. Since I fell into the devil, I have not been tolerated by the heaven and earth. I can't even attract spiritual energy, so how can I strip them away?"

There is an independent space in Gu Jiang's body, a small world of its own, not connected to the outside world.

At this time, this small world is like a furnace, and the surface of the lake under the shadow of the blood moon is lingering with steaming mist. This mist is no longer under Gu Jiang's control and can only be expelled from his body.

"You have to work harder to steam this lake dry."

Nie Yinzhi: "..." She retreated from Gu Jiang's small garden, not knowing what to say for a moment.

[I understand, Nie Yinzhi is the boiler, responsible for burning the demon and returning all the spiritual energy he plundered. ]

[Isn't this equivalent to you eating my food and wearing my clothes, and in the end when you are strong enough, you grab my things to become independent and form your own country? ]

[The five demon ancestors are taking advantage of me, no wonder there is a shortage of spiritual energy in the cultivation world now]

[After all this time, Tiandao is the poor little dog who is being persecuted]

[I don't care about Tiandao, I only care if you really don't want to have a go? ]

[Oh, if they really practice dual cultivation, will the demon's Jinjiang be burned? ]

[It's just that Nie Yinzhi's blood in Gu Jiang's body will boil, causing the demon to have a fever. Strictly speaking, the question should be whether Nie Yinzhi will be burned? ]

[Red-hot iron rod.jpg This is not DOI, this is torture! ]

[Help, shut up! How come any hearse can be driven? ]

"Are you still very hot now?" Nie Yinzhi, who had just come out of his furnace-like little garden, asked knowingly.

Gu Jiang said stubbornly, "It's not hot."

"Even if I don't kiss you now, you will feel hot like this." Nie Yinzhi's logic made sense. "Then you can take this time to kiss me before you calm down."

Gu Jiang's eyes lit up, and he helped Nie Yinzhi to lie on the bed with his back facing up, posing a cooperative posture as if ready to take advantage of him, and said seriously, "Come on."

Nie Yinzhi: "???" Nie Yinzhi lay on him, and suddenly thought of a very serious question. He half raised his arms, stared into his eyes and asked, "Why did you suddenly kiss me before? Was it because I cried so beautifully that you felt pity and couldn't help yourself, right?"

Gu Jiang's throat rolled, he swallowed, his eyes flashed, and he said "hmm" vaguely.

Nie Yinzhi saw through it, and the devil's face was full of the five big words "Is there more?"! She glared at him angrily, stretched out her index finger and pressed his Adam's apple hard, then jumped off Gu Jiang, "Kiss your ass, don't even think about kissing me again in your life."

She turned around and walked out the door, "Don't climb into my bed tonight." Nie Yinzhi said word by word, "Brother! Brother!"

Before closing the door, Nie Yinzhi heard Gu Jiang's suppressed laughter.

Gu Jiang heard the door of the next room open, and heard angry footsteps heading towards the bed. Nie Yinzhi threw himself on the bed, rolled over a few times, and muffled in the quilt and cursed in a low voice: "You stinky devil, you even make me drool, how can you be so perverted!"

Gu Jiang laughed enough, put the back of his hand on his forehead, and frowned uncomfortably. He closed his eyes, sank into his own lake of blood moon shadow, waved away the increasingly dense mist on the lake, and his sight fell on a knuckle-long crack in the void.

The author has something to say:

Yinyin: It's because I cried so beautifully that you felt pity and couldn't help it, right?

Gujiang: You cried so beautifully.
