Chapter 65 Drunken Behavior
65. Drunk
Waves crash against the shore.
The man in white was tall and slender, with a strikingly handsome face.
Her peach blossom eyes held three parts vulnerability, three parts doubt, and four parts unfulfilled desire.
The clever trick was to stick out two index fingers and quietly cover her ears, pretending not to hear his question.
Isn't the main point right now the strange thing about the male and female protagonists being ordered to kill the black dragon?
Isn't this bird's focus a bit off?
But in the eyes of the man, Yu Guangzhong noticed that his gaze grew increasingly intense and bright, and his long, shimmering eyes gradually transformed from self-doubt into a kind of nakedness.
Jin Shi nodded with a naked look in his eyes.
They didn't go all the way, which is why she doesn't acknowledge him as her husband.
Oh.
Actually, during this trip off the island, Jin Shi secretly left behind a "self" who was doing something. It needed to be formal enough, grand enough, unforgettable enough, and so delicious that she'd crave it again and again—it definitely required preparation…
But since splitting himself up would definitely require dismantling himself, he didn't mention it to her.
Now, I regret not saying it.
His bright red tongue rolled between his teeth, his hungry gaze following her like a shadow. Miao Jue lowered her hand from her ear and shifted her position to the side.
…I always have a feeling that one day he will peck her to pieces and smash her to pieces.
…I still feel that day isn't too far away.
In the distance, the male and female protagonists were already embracing each other intimately, calling each other "husband" and "wife" for a long time.
Miaojue seemed to be deep in thought, rubbing her pointed chin with her fingertips.
The black dragon that the male and female protagonists were chasing... was very unusual.
"But who saved us?" Gong Yuqiu asked.
They finally realized that it was impossible for them to spontaneously return to shore after falling into a deep, unfathomable coma. When the sadomasochistic relationship ended, normal human thought returned to their minds, and Miaojue even felt a strange sense of relief.
Dongfang Yaotian's eyesight improved this time, and he caught Miaojue's gaze as soon as he turned his head, exclaiming in astonishment.
"Benefactors?! Are you two our benefactors?"
Although they had already moved aside, there was no one else within a kilometer radius.
Dongfang Yaotian strode over, holding Gong Yuqiu's hand. Unexpectedly, the people who saved them were a very young and outstanding couple.
Upon reaching the two, Dongfang Yaotian suddenly paused, his gaze deep and wicked as he spoke: "I don't know why, but seeing you two gives me a sense of déjà vu..."
"..." Jin Shi crossed his arms, expressionless. "There's no saving you. You're just lucky to be alive."
Dongfang Yaotian was taken aback, then shook his head and smiled faintly. He knew that the person who could go deep into the sea to rescue them from the black dragon was no ordinary person, and it was normal for such a reclusive master to have an eccentric temperament.
Gong Yuqiu looked at Miao Jue to the side. In fact, Yao Tian had not exaggerated. She also had a strange sense of familiarity.
The beautiful young woman before me was completely unfamiliar, yet for some reason, she exuded an aura of awe.
It's strange, since she clearly doesn't possess any of the five elements' spiritual attributes.
In just a few words, Miao Jue had fully grasped the current identities and situations of the male and female protagonists. Without Lang Huan's identity as a Celestial Dragon, they had inherited a configuration that was almost identical to that in the mortal world.
Dongfang Yaotian is still a prince of a small country, and Gong Yuqiu has joined a prestigious sect that is rising on the continent. Both of them are born with celestial spirit bones, otherwise they would not have been entrusted to such a dangerous place.
The fateful entanglement between the two continued, and without the Heavenly Mandate Seal, they went straight to the wedding ceremony.
Dongfang Yaotian warmly invited them to the most bustling restaurant in the city, but Jin Shi arrogantly refused.
Miaojue also disagreed, as following behind the male and female protagonists would make it easier to find out who instructed them to court death.
However, the mastermind behind the scenes did not expect how tough the male and female protagonists were. Even when they were unconscious underwater for a while, they still managed to run into the big villain who happened to be at the bottom of the sea.
They were sent to sea on someone's behalf, ostensibly to hunt down the black dragon that was plaguing the coast, but in reality, they were there to force the male and female protagonists to commit suicide.
Because the black dragon carried the aura of the Immortal-Binding Stone.
It either absorbed the power of the Immortal-Binding Stone through some human means, or it ate it itself.
This is a path never before seen, but what is certain is that the Ancestral Stone has such a tremendous transformative effect on the various beasts of the Changming Clan, and the Immortal-Binding Stone, as the yin side of the Ancestral Stone, probably also has a tremendous evolutionary effect on beasts outside the Changming Clan...
To allow the deep-sea serpent to transform into a dragon.
After retracing the steps of the Immortal-Binding Stone, Miao Jue gained a more profound understanding of cause and effect.
She had a vague feeling that Dongfang Yaotian and Gong Yuqiu were involved, which was also an invisible hint that she needed to go back a hundred years to truly solve the biggest hidden danger of the Changming Clan.
Although the East and Gongyu are no longer in the world, and everything will never happen again, history is the endless repetition of countless events.
Fortunately, there are only two people in this world who remember their experiences.
The black dragon in the sea seemed to have something to say. Only by following the male and female protagonists can they grasp this main storyline.
The male and female protagonists bid them farewell and innocently returned to report. Miaojue reached out and pulled Jinshi, saying, "Let's go see who sent them."
He pulled, but couldn't budge it. Turning around, he saw Jin Shi licking his lips, looking very beastly.
"Who are you calling?"
Oh dear, he still needs to fight for a proper title.
Miaojue unconsciously twirled the ends of her hair that fell across her chest with her fingertips. How could she describe him? Who was he to her?
As children, he was her childhood sweetheart whom she unexpectedly gained; when they separated, they were rivals who sabotaged each other; when it came to serious matters, they were teammates fighting side by side; and now…
He's a man who kisses hundreds of times a day.
Upon hearing this, Jin Shiyi raised an eyebrow with genuine interest.
He naturally knew that the secret technique did not belong to this mortal world; otherwise, he would not have so miraculously fallen into the only separated ancestral land space. This was simply impossible, yet she descended from the sky like this.
When she was little, her memories of the past were vague. But as they grew up together, their shared childhood memories filled her mind.
Jin Shi crossed his arms and tilted his head. "What's your name?"
The word "boyfriend" lingered on Jin Shi's lips, and although he didn't understand its meaning, he inexplicably sensed a romantic and ambiguous scene.
But he still felt it wasn't enough.
With his keen and accurate intuition as a noble beast, he felt that the latter would be a very cool title.
But no matter how much they pressed him, he wouldn't reveal the secret.
He could only savor the word "boyfriend" over and over again, somewhat dissatisfied, until he was slightly more satisfied.
It doesn't matter.
When the time is right, he will make her call out the name of the person behind her over and over again.
I can't wait!
His peach blossom eyes sparkled, and he was thinking so much that his mouth went dry.
Miaojue was lost in thought. A gentle breeze ruffled her dark hair. She turned to look at the distant mountains on the sea, wondering how she had come to be in this world.
She could no longer remember anything from the past; it was as if her life had begun with growing up alongside Jin Shi.
The cause and effect she could comprehend lingered in her heart, and the trajectory of time flowed among the tree bones. Suddenly, she had a distant conjecture. She turned her head and looked into Jin Shi's eyes with a smile as green as jade.
"Maybe... the world where we call each other 'boyfriend' is much, much further into the future. Maybe ten thousand years from now we've looked back and come back to this moment."
He has become self-taught.
…
Jin Shi became more proactive in eliminating the people behind Dongfang Yaotian and Gong Yuqiu.
Although it seemed more like a very positive, eager, and restless attitude towards what would happen next.
The two followed the couple and saw them enter a mansion called Tianji Gate.
This mansion occupies a vast area, with its main gate located in the most bustling street in the city. Surrounded by taverns and singing houses, the place is filled with people with flowing hair and sleeves, creating a scene of soft and fragrant beauty.
From the moment Jin Shi set foot in this area, countless red sleeves fluttered with fragrance.
Nowadays, those with spiritual bones that have awakened their intelligence and possess extraordinary talent have all earned titles. Although the details of the spiritual bones of this man cannot be discerned, anyone can feel the boundless and endless cold pressure emanating from him, as if he is no longer in the same world as them. Not to mention, his appearance is also exceptionally handsome. His indifferent glances with his peach blossom eyes startled countless people into gasps.
Jin Shi's gaze lingered on the wine jars by the roadside for a moment, then he smiled and whispered, "This Tianji Sect is quite illustrious. Not counting those two, they already have five Heavenly Bones. It seems they really want to advance..."
Seeing that the outstanding man's gaze was focused on only one person, countless eyes followed and fell on the woman beside him.
Upon closer inspection, they were even more astonished. If the man was unfathomable, the beautiful girl was truly wondrous.
Although she clearly possessed no elemental spiritual energy, she commanded respect. Her hair, fingertips, and every step she took subtly followed a mysterious rhythm, and as she walked through the streets, an invisible and vast aura flowed through every crevice.
None of them knew what it was.
After the two figures had disappeared into the distance, the bustling street remained completely silent.
Miao Jue circled the area around the Heavenly Gate. Since the male and female protagonists hadn't died at the bottom of the sea, nor killed the black dragon, the matter didn't escalate.
Imagine if two exceptionally talented cultivators who had just gained fame on the mainland were to perish at sea, they would have a perfectly legitimate reason to cross the sea to the secluded immortal island.
If the Immortal-Binding Stone can act on beasts and has such divine power, is there anything that can act on human bones?
Human greed is the same from any perspective.
Thinking about it this way, the black dragon might be one raised by the Heavenly Pole Sect.
Just as he was thinking this, a figure blocked his way.
He had black eyes and black hair, and looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, still a young boy.
As soon as they got close, Miao Jue sensed that his aura was different from others.
So he was just a young boy. No wonder he's still halfway through his transformation from a dragon to a serpent.
The black dragon was not yet familiar with human form, but it was very interested in the secret technique. Its eyes shone brightly, and it asked arrogantly, "Are you the guy who destroyed rocks at the bottom of the sea?"
Miaojue blinked, and for some reason, she found herself lost in a nostalgic reverie.
This young boy was someone from a very, very long time ago.
Someone frowned, raised a long, thin, pale fingertip with distinct knuckles, and pointed him back with disdain, "Kid, don't get so close."
The black-skinned dragon youth frowned, looking quite fierce. "What does this have to do with you? Your true form isn't even as big as mine."
After he was half-transformed into a dragon, he could sense the faint form of the other party's true body. It was a bird. How could a bird be as powerful as a dragon?
Jin Shi raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.
He gave a warm, spring-like smile: "You misunderstood. So you wanted to die."
Because the law of survival for animals is very simple: whoever can eat whom is stronger.
The giant bird before him could devour ten thousand of him.
The black-skinned boy shrank back, then grabbed the man's sleeve with one hand. The girl's voice was soft and clear, "Don't scare him."
The sweet smile vanished instantly. Jin Shi quickly lowered his head, his gaze filled with disbelief: "Whose side are you on?"
Black Dragon rubbed its eyes with a mixture of grievance and stubbornness, making Jin Shi's fists clench and its brows furrow tightly.
The boy asked for the secret: "I want to ask you, since you can destroy the Sea Stone, can you also make the things I ate disappear?"
It seems that the perspective has changed, and people's understanding of the Trapped Immortal Stone has also changed. They are still unaware of the "trapped immortal" phenomenon.
Miao Jue was somewhat surprised: "Why? Isn't it because the Sea Stone is about to transform into a dragon?"
The black dragon boy nodded: "But my people are all on the other side of the sea. I swam out from a crack in the ground while playing. Eating the Sea Stone can transform me into a dragon, but I can't swim back."
Miaojue blinked lightly and nodded in agreement.
After Jinshi had run everyone away, he returned to find her still lost in thought, and his feathers stood on end from the bitterness. His eyes flashed with malice: "How about I handle the rest? I'll take you back first..."
Miaojue looked up at him and asked, "What did you say to that boy when you saw him off?"
A soft embrace opened its arms and hugged her, and Miaojue smiled and said, "Yes, you used to be like that too."
I miss you a little.
…
Jin Shi was expressionless, dazed, his heart fluctuating between sweetness and sourness, like a person with a fever.
This feeling was even more terrifying than the moment when the souls merged and the white light shot out wildly at the end.
They entered a magnificent little building next to the Heavenly Gate. The first floor was a tavern, and the upper floors were an inn. Jin Shiyi, his face burning, paid for two superior rooms and then threw away one of the room tags.
Looking out of their window, they could vaguely see the outline of the Heavenly Gate. The male and female protagonists went in to report and never reappeared; now they really had to be careful and try to rescue them.
Under the night sky and the stars and moon, the disciples of the Heavenly Pole Sect were holding a ritual similar to a fasting ceremony, which was Jin Shi's old profession.
Miaojue held the teacup, already having a clue in mind.
Mortals began to yearn for this otherworldly paradise after seeing the towering tree that appeared as a mirage on the sea. In the successive attempts to cross the sea, historical coincidences led a few people to encounter the Immortal-Binding Stone Vein, thus initiating another kind of evolution.
Miaojue sighed and asked in a low voice, "Should we not have planted the marriage tree?"
This still triggered new causes and effects.
As Jin Shi removed the clay seal from the wine jar, he said, "Why shouldn't we?"
He smelled the aroma of the wine; it was rich and spicy. He tilted his head back and took a sip, finding it difficult to get drunk. His ash bones were an endless chaos, and drinking wine was like sprinkling salt into the sea—it caused him no pain or itch whatsoever.
Then we'll just have to feed it to someone else.
Jin Shiyi, his face burning, walked to the window, hugged her slender figure from behind, and whispered, "Look what they're worshipping?"
A light, pleasant aroma of wine filled the night sky, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. Miao Jue felt a warmth spread down her neck and cheeks, and before she even asked, she already knew the answer.
They are worshipping the tree.
The tree of marriage they planted on Mount Culaishan is imbued with her life's rings, a true manifestation of her profound spiritual essence. Therefore, when someone prays, the sounds, high and low, subtly enter her consciousness.
This is indeed a very good intelligence source.
Jin Shi bit her warm ear, his voice muffled, "They worship you, that's considered merit. If they accumulate enough merit, they might really become gods."
Miao Jue shrank her cheeks. "What's so good about becoming a god...?"
If she hadn't still cherished the warmth and passion of love, she probably would have already transformed into time itself during the advancement of her profound bones, a realm even more vast than a god.
But after this, Miaojue really figured out how to deal with the other party, and this sect will definitely take action tomorrow.
Since they believe in trees, then they should let trees play a role.
The stars and moon are shining brightly tonight.
Jin Shi's kiss, tinged with wine, had already arrived.
Someone was peeping through the window. Upon seeing this scene, they were so frightened that they fled in panic, tearing off several roof tiles, which shattered into pieces.
Miao Jue wanted to see, but his chin was firmly held, and mouthfuls of wine flowed down his tongue and down his throat.
Then, I was completely drunk.
Her vision began to blur, and her peach blossom eyes, which had been soaked in wine, were clearly clear-headed, yet also shimmering with tears.
He held her tightly in his arms, using the wine to savor her every whim, then turned slightly away. He had her groaning and moaning with pleasure, yet he was also afraid of accidentally hurting her.
He was very skilled at dismantling people, but dismantling her was a different matter and required extreme caution.
Those long eyes swept across the girl, who was shaking her head and nodding off, and she asked in a wicked yet humble tone, "If I heard correctly, were you just confessing your feelings to me?"
Not wanting to become a god is to be attached to the mortal world.
This is practically whispering sweet nothings to him.
"I'm sorry," Jin Shi said, picking her up and sitting her on the windowsill. The cool night breeze brushed against her back as he tilted his head back to kiss her disgruntled eyes. "Then listen carefully."
The night suddenly became quiet.
A prayer could be faintly heard from within one's mind.
"God, tree, can she hear me?"
Miao Jue was so drunk she was almost dizzy, but she still couldn't help but laugh.
"I heard the tree's confession tonight, and I am very grateful." Jin Shi smiled and looked up, his inner voice swaying in the wind.
"I love her very much, did she hear me?"
