"I'm just using a title; don't try to pin it on your teacher. Behave yourself."
As she spoke, Tian Jiu'er lowered her jade-like hand and gently rubbed the top of Zhou Xingdou's head.
"A fairy touched my head and blessed my marriage."
Zhou Xingdou leaned against the platform, thoroughly enjoying himself, and spoke softly.
And Tian Jiu'er's Nine Heavens Mystic Ice finally melted, and she said with a half-smile:
"You haven't fulfilled our agreement yet, it's too early to talk about these things."
Stephen Chow raised an eyebrow:
"Although I am currently unable to leave the outer realms, I have already sent Fahai to search for the Demon-Suppressing Jade Seal. Master, you cannot escape."
Tian Jiu'er's lips curled slightly as she sat upright on the platform, looking down at Zhou Xingdou:
"Are you so confident he can find it?"
As she spoke, Tian Jiu'er raised her jade hand that had been stroking Zhou Xingdou's head. In a burst of shimmering light, a small, crystal-clear jade seal appeared at her fingertips, which she gently played with with her slender fingers.
Zhou Xingdou's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the small, crystal-clear jade seal. He immediately understood what was happening and suddenly stood up to snatch the jade seal away.
But how could Tian Jiu'er let Zhou Xingdou get it so easily? In the blink of an eye, the crystal-clear jade seal disappeared, and her jade hand also forced it away, leaving him with nothing.
This infuriated Zhou Xingdou. He never expected that the Demon-Suppressing Jade Seal was actually in Tian Jiu'er's hands, meaning that Fahai and the others would definitely not be able to find it on their trip.
"Damn it! You're cheating!"
Stephen Chow swore for the first time in a long time, but then a loud "bang!" was heard.
Zhou Xingdou suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and then heard Tian Jiu'er's displeased voice say:
"vulgar!"
Now, he possesses two systems, ranks at the ninth level of the Dao Emperor realm, and is at the ninth transformation of the Quasi-Emperor realm. He has condensed his own unique Dao with five supreme techniques, and his punishment power can even injure a Great Emperor. He is an absolutely invincible existence below the six-star level.
Unexpectedly, even though he couldn't touch Tian Jiu'er with a single finger, he still got a flick on the forehead.
Moreover, even that supreme physical body couldn't withstand the pain coming from her head, so Tian Jiu'er's cultivation level was probably even higher than that of a Three Tribulations Emperor!
This almost completely eliminated Zhou Xingdou's chance to use force, so Zhou Xingdou chose to cover his head, pout, and say indignantly:
"You're cheating, and you even hit me! We haven't seen each other for twenty years. You were so well-behaved when I died. It's true what they say, what's lost is always the most precious..."
A slight smile appeared on Tian Jiu'er's face:
"Although I don't know what kind of opportunity you have, judging from your bone age, it is less than half a year, or even only one or two months, from that time. So don't pretend to be pitiful and deceive your master."
Zhou Xingdou wasn't bad off being seen through; he just grinned and said:
"I can't hide it from you after all."
"But...you really did wait for me for twenty years...."
As he spoke, Zhou Xingdou's expression calmed down again, and he sat down beside the platform once more, resting his head on Tian Jiu'er's jade legs as she sat cross-legged.
This time, Tian Jiu'er did not resist, but instead placed her hand on Zhou Xingdou's head again and gently stroked it:
"Are you tired? Have these days been tough?"
Zhou Xingdou was slightly taken aback, and his silvery-white eyes, which seemed to radiate with destructive lightning, began to mist over.
"It wasn't bitter or tiring, and it didn't actually last very long."
He didn't encounter any difficulties in the Four Heavenly Sacred Realms, but since his return, he has been asking others if he had waited too long or if it had been too painful.
Only Tian Jiu'er would ask herself if she was tired or if she was suffering.
But Stephen Chow sniffed:
"But I was terrified. I didn't know I'd come back alive. I trembled in that endless chaos, afraid I'd never see you again, afraid I wouldn't survive..."
After being shot and killed, he didn't know if he would survive, nor did he know that the system would reverse the flow of time to save him, or whether he could return to the beginning of time...
Even the most composed person will feel fear when facing death.
Because no one takes death lightly, not even Stephen Chow, who has died three times.
Each time he died, he didn't know he could be resurrected, let alone whether he could be resurrected next time. Everything is subject to accidents, and no one can be completely safe.
"If you want to cry, then cry. But please stop clinging to my leg. Besides, my clothes are too slippery; they're not very effective for wiping your nose."
Overwhelmed with emotion, Zhou Xingdou held onto Tian Jiu'er's thigh tightly, making it impossible for her to sit cross-legged, forcing her to droop down from the platform.
Zhou Xingdou, with snot and tears streaming down his face, smeared all over Tian Jiu'er's fairy robe, leaving Tian Jiu'er quite helpless.
Zhou Xingdou completely let loose, hugging Tian Jiu'er's leg and rubbing against it several times, smearing his snot all over Tian Jiu'er's clothes, and saying in extreme indignation:
"I like it, is it any of your business?"
If the members of the Star Alliance were to see this scene, the image Zhou Xingdou had just built would immediately collapse.
Even the old folks around Stephen Chow probably wouldn't believe that he still had such a demeanor.
Tian Jiu'er smiled rather helplessly:
"Okay, okay."
As she spoke, she lifted Zhou Xingdou's chin with her slender hand, and gently wiped away his snot and tears with her other hand. She also took the opportunity to snatch back the thigh that had been taken from her, cut up the fairy robe that Zhou Xingdou had wiped with his snot, and put it into her personal space before continuing:
"You are now the leader of an alliance comparable to an immortal force, and the only backbone of the Zhou family's power in the Primordial Era. You can't act like a child anymore, understand?"
Stephen Chow simply ripped off his "mask," angrily retorting:
"It's all a mess! They say I'm the great calamity of the primordial era, that Heaven is harming me, that the great forces are striking me down..."
But before Zhou Xingdou could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a warm and smooth sensation on his forehead and was immediately stunned.
As the warmth faded, a lip print appeared on Zhou Xingdou's forehead. Tian Jiu'er coughed lightly twice, released Zhou Xingdou's face, and sat cross-legged on the platform, her eyes fixed straight ahead. A rare blush appeared on her peerless face.
Are you still afraid now?
Zhou Xingdou swallowed hard, carefully touched the still-moist lip print on his forehead, and shook his head blankly, saying:
"I'm not afraid anymore."
Tian Jiu'er slowly closed her immortal eyes:
"Go do what you're supposed to do, your teacher... will stand up... will cover for you."
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou seemed to be bewitched. He nodded and walked out of the secret room, solemnly closing the door behind him. He walked out of the Star Palace, which had been rebuilt by Tian Jiu'er, in a daze.
Zhou Xingdou was breathing rapidly and his heart was racing. It took him a long time to calm down after standing at the entrance of Xingdou Palace.
But when he came to his senses, Stephen Chow's expression changed, and he slapped himself twice, looking extremely annoyed.
"Damn it! I should have pressed my advantage. How could I have been so bewitched by just one kiss? Ahhhhh!"
A long, frustrated howl echoed throughout the Star Palace.
Meanwhile, deep within the Star Palace, in a secret chamber, Tian Jiu'er sat gracefully on the Dao Platform, a slight smile playing on her lips. Suddenly, her smile was breathtaking, her ethereal voice murmuring:
"Ming-meimei, don't blame your sisters for being inhuman, blame only your child..."
