"You are the chosen ruler of the underworld by the Heavenly Dao, yet you have repeatedly defied it. Do you really think the Heavenly Dao will tolerate you time and time again?"
Wan Jiao knew, of course, that she would never be so lucky as to be "favored by heaven" time and time again.
However, cultivating the ancient, ruthless path was her daughter's wish, and as her mother, she should do her best to fulfill it.
If Ming Jin could do anything for his daughter, why couldn't she?
"I'm determined to go to Kunlun Mountain." Wan Jiao's spiritual power transformed into countless swords, surrounding Li Wen from all directions. "Li Wen, if you've come to see me off, I'm grateful, but if you've come to stop me, I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible."
"Although I am now just a sorcerer, I may not necessarily be at a disadvantage against you."
Li Wen immediately saw through Wan Jiao's thoughts.
He was stunned for a long time at first, and after a long while, he asked her with a bitter smile, "Are you going to use the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder to deal with me?"
Wan Jiao did not deny it.
This constitutes acceptance.
Li Wen felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he could no longer control his expression. He could only let the mask that had been with him for many years appear on his face.
“Good, very good.” Every word and every sentence from Li Wen was filled with indescribable sadness. “Thousands of years ago, you were full of courage and fearless of the consequences, and you are still here thousands of years later.”
"People in this world often talk about being love-struck. In fact, you, the Lord of the Underworld, are the world's biggest love-struck person."
Wan Jiao: "..."
To be honest, although she really disliked Li Wen's words because they sounded particularly awkward, every word he said was so close to the truth and hit the nail on the head.
Runling is Wanjiao, and Wanjiao is Runling. One is from a past life, and the other is from this life, but in the end, they are the same person.
Runling, the ruler of the Underworld, abandoned all living beings for Mingjin, choosing instead to live with him in the mortal realm, where they had a child. Even knowing the child was born evil, she still aided and abetted his cruelty, heartlessly feeding on so many demons…
(Note: From the moment the male protagonist perished ten thousand years ago, everything that happened afterward [in general] was arranged by the Heavenly Dao. The male and female protagonists were merely pawns of the Heavenly Dao. The specific reasons for this arrangement will be explained later. Please refrain from mindless criticism. Thank you.)
To call her love-struck is an understatement.
Many people who are obsessed with love only hurt themselves and not others, but Runling...
For a moment, Wan Jiao felt extremely embarrassed.
She lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Li Wen's eyes.
Seeing this, Li Wen snorted irritably, "Feeling awkward now?"
Wan Jiao: This is intolerable!
I may think I have a 'problem,' but you can't do without Wen.
"Whether I'm love-struck or not is none of your business. Are you looking for trouble?"
The sword blades formed from Wan Jiao's spiritual power drew ever closer to Li Wen's body, some even slicing through his skin.
A murderous intent surged in her eyes.
Li Wen raised his hand to wipe the blood from his cheek. "Are you angry out of embarrassment? Jiao'er, there's no need for that."
"You must always understand one thing: even if the whole world is against you, I will stand firmly behind you."
Wan Jiao didn't believe Li Wen's words.
She gave a cold laugh. "Oh? Is this your reason for stopping me?"
Li Wen shrugged, looking completely innocent. "Jiao'er, I'm not taking the blame for this. I never said I was going to stop you."
Wan Jiao: "???"
Li Wen said again, "I'm here to accompany you up Kunlun Mountain."
"You... will come with us?"
Wan Jiao was extremely shocked.
Li Wen nodded, "Yes, more people mean more strength."
"..." Wan Jiao sheathed the sword formed from spiritual energy. "Weren't you going to say something just now?"
“You didn’t ask, so how could I say anything?” Li Wen’s expression became even more aggrieved.
Wan Jiao: "!!!"
I still feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.
At that moment, Xiao Lejin outside the barrier had quickly finished off the family bucket. Seemingly shocked that Wan Jiao was going to build a barrier to talk to Li Wen, her little face was full of worry, and her two round eyes stared at the barrier without blinking.
"She's finished eating, we should go out now," Li Wen reminded Wan Jiao.
Once she was brought back to her senses, Wan Jiao didn't say much. She immediately removed the barrier and walked to Xiao Le Jin with Li Wen.
When Xiao Lejin saw them emerge from the barrier, she rushed over and hugged Wan Jiao, "Mother, are you alright?"
She subconsciously thought that Li Wen was making things difficult for Wan Jiao.
As she asked Wan Jiao, she glared angrily at Li Wen.
Despite her young age, Xiao Lejin possessed a truly terrifying aura. The way she looked at Li Wen made him feel somewhat uneasy.
Li Wen has been in the underworld for thousands of years, and if we're really talking about it, Xiao Le Jin is the second person who has made him feel this way.
As for the first one... it's Mingjin.
That time, it was when Runling and Mingjin were about to leave the Underworld, and Liwen went to stop them.
The feeling that Ming Jin gave Li Wen back then was not exactly the same as that of Xiao Le Jin now; it was more like they were indistinguishable.
…
Wan Jiao could feel her beloved daughter's concern.
She could sense even more strongly that if Li Wen really did something to her, her precious daughter would definitely take a huge risk and use the Heavenly Book to deal with Li Wen.
This is not what Wan Jiao wanted to see.
She raised her hand and gently stroked Xiao Lejin's back. "Xiao Jin, Mother is alright."
As she spoke, Wan Jiao glanced at Li Wen and introduced him, "This is Uncle Li Wen. He will be going up Kunlun Mountain with us."
