[Shangguan Jiujiuâs Body Shuddered.]
She looked at Ye Yu in disbelief.
He likes me?
Hiss,
when she thought carefully, it did seem rather reasonable.
If it werenât for that, why would Ye Yu have stayed so loyal for so many years, never once criticizing her low cultivation?
He had even shared half of the celestial treasures with her.
Between a man and a woman, it seemed that only love could explain such behavior, right?
Ye Yu immediately turned red with anger and said coldly, "You fat pig, donât speak nonsense!"
Daoist Fang Changâs face darkened at once.
"Even if my innermost thoughts were revealed, you still cannot insult your elder. This is truly inappropriate."
Ye Yu grabbed his head in frustration.
Great, so he thought I was some pure love god, huh? Just because my thoughts were exposed, Iâm supposed to feel embarrassed?
Ye Yu shook his head repeatedly and then said softly, "Shangguan, donât listen to his nonsense, itâs not like that."
Shangguan Jiujiu lowered her head slightly, saying nothing.
As the saying goes, "Explanations are just covers, and covers are the truth."
Since thatâs the case, Ye Yu, why not tell me the truth?
But, to be honest, Ye Yu was indeed quite handsome.
If they really got together, it wasnât entirely impossible.
At that thought, two blushes appeared on Shangguan Jiujiuâs perfect face.
Seeing that Shangguan Jiujiu hadnât said anything, Ye Yu subconsciously turned to look.
When he saw it, he was immediately frozen.
What the hell? Why are you blushing like that?
Ye Yu wanted to explain, but realized that might make it worse.
He could only sigh deeply.
At that moment, Daoist Fang Chang, who had been waiting patiently, finally ran out of patience.
He stopped smiling.
With a low voice, he said, "It seems my aura cultivation has really improved over the years. Iâve been patient enough to talk with you for so long."
"Enough, Iâm tired now."
"Let me put it another way, kid. Obey me, and you two can live. If you donât agree, Iâll let this immortal lady die in front of you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuâs expression turned cold, and killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"You fat pig, youâre threatening me?"
"Yes, I am threatening you. What are you going to do about it?"
Daoist Fang Changâs expression stiffened, and powerful immortal pressure radiated from his body.
Without a doubt, Daoist Fang Chang believed that, with his Late Xuan Immortal realm cultivation, he could easily defeat both Ye Yu and Shangguan Jiujiu.
This was the main reason why he spoke so confidently.
But Ye Yu was unfazed.
With barely a gap of one full realm, he wasnât afraid of a fight!
He stepped forward.
But he was immediately pulled back.
And in his hand, there was suddenly a storage ring.
Shangguan Jiujiu spoke softly, "Youâve always said you want me to bring you flying. This time, let me fulfill that wish."
"In the Heaven Realm, one realm equals one world."
"Even if we team up, weâre not his match."
"I donât want you to become his puppet, so this time, let me, your ancestor, protect you."
"Iâve reached the limit of breaking through in the Heaven Realm, but youâre different. Your future is full of possibilities."
"Live well."
"This is probably the only thing I can do for you."
"By the way, if you meet a girl you like in the future, remember to speak up early. If you donât, how will you know if she agrees?"
At first, Ye Yu felt a bit touched by Shangguan Jiujiuâs selfless words. Her actions were really heartwarming.
But the last sentence? What did that mean?
"No, are you seriously being led astray?"
Ye Yu felt helpless.
The next moment, a blue shield appeared in front of him, completely isolating him behind Shangguan Jiujiu.
A soft breeze blew.
Shangguan Jiujiu tied her hair up with a ribbon, her hair held tightly.
A red circular mark appeared at the back of her neck.
In front of her, a long sword slowly materialized.
The sound of the sword being unsheathed echoed.
Shangguan Jiujiuâs entire aura changed abruptly!
The current leader of the Heart Piercing Hall, LĂŒ He Lian, was someone who loved to exaggerate.
But there was one thing that was absolutely true!
That was, thousands of years ago, in the Eastern Sea Continent, Shangguan Jiujiu truly suppressed all cultivators, making them unable to raise their heads.
That era belonged only to her.
Later, with just one sword, she ascended to the heavens in broad daylight, stunning countless people.
When Shangguan Jiujiu first entered the Heaven Realm, she was still sharp as a sword.
Her breakthrough speed was incredibly fast.
At that time, she was full of energy, even contemplating taking the highest position in the Heaven Realm.
However, during a battle at the peak of True Immortal realm, she was completely shattered.
Her opponent specialized in fire-type magic.
Using the flames of the Heaven Realm, he burned Shangguan Jiujiu.
She endured the excruciating pain and fought back, ultimately killing him.
Afterwards, when Shangguan Jiujiu checked for her injuries, she was surprised to find that there was no harm done.
The flames hadnât caused her any damage.
However, a red circular mark appeared on the back of her neck.
Shangguan Jiujiu was puzzled.
But since it didnât hurt or itch, she didnât pay it much attention.
Later, she was shocked to find that no matter how much she cultivated, all her immortal power gathered at the red mark and eventually vanished without a trace.
Shangguan Jiujiu believed this was a curse placed by her opponent.
So, she traveled the entire Heaven Realm, trying to find a way to break it.
But no one knew how to break it.
In the end, Shangguan Jiujiu was stuck at the peak of True Immortal realm, unable to make any progress.
She was trapped for over twenty thousand years.
And from that day on, Shangguan Jiujiu stopped tying up her hair, instead covering the mark with her hair.
She tried to force herself to forget its existence.
But it had no effect.
Now, she tied her hair up once more, to protect the person she wanted to protect!
In an instant, the sound of countless swords ringing echoed.
Shangguan Jiujiu was like a sword immortal, soaring in the sky.
Daoist Fang Chang couldnât help but clap his hands.
"Selfless love, knowing youâre certain to die but still stepping forward."
"This kind of affection is truly moving."
"However, love unrequited is the real world!"
As his voice fell.
Daoist Fang Chang formed a seal with his hands.
A massive bronze cauldron appeared beneath Shangguan Jiujiuâs feet.
It quickly enveloped her inside.
Then, blue heavenly flames began to burn fiercely.
The flames were so intense that they instilled fear in anyone who saw them!
Daoist Fang Changâs face twisted as he said, "Kid, I just kindly advised you, but you didnât listen."
"Now, this immortal lady will die."
"Now, let me give you a choice."
"Her death is inevitable, but I can leave her with a shred of her soul, on the condition that you obediently work for me."
"Of course, you can also choose to refuse."
"The result will be the same: her soul will scatter!"
