MD Ch 2 Part 9

Gu Jincheng returned to b347c91f20 the Demon Palace the 7a4522a5e7 following evening. It was eight 021a532cab or nine hours af92951371 later than I 04890f02ba had anticipated.2fd6f2eee14559e7

Since arriving in this world, I hadn’t had a single good night’s sleep. I was constantly on edge and couldn’t bring myself to sleep on the jade bed. No matter how strangely Ah Jiu looked at me, I just couldn’t lie down on it. Sleeping on the jade bed always resulted in nightmares for reasons I couldn’t understand. Thinking about it only made my head hurt, so I left it as a mere decoration.77daf259ba4d332c

Unable to sleep, I began examining Yu Ke’s body. The profound energy of a Great Ascension stage cultivator was so vast that I had to exert myself to absorb it. Although I knew the method and the process was challenging, my progress wasn’t slow.da9aaa2404f554f9

Now, even with my eyes closed, I could sense the presence of others through the movement of surrounding energy. That’s how I knew when Gu Jincheng arrived at the entrance to my bedchamber. He concealed his energy well, but given the difference in our cultivation levels, I could easily detect it.49eff62adeb85f1b

For over half an hour, he simply stood outside the door. Growing bored, I counted sheep, stroked the fur of the sleeping Ah Jiu beside me, and waited for Gu Jincheng’s next move. As I waited for him to enter, I sensed a shift in his breathing. He didn’t open the door; he flew upwards. To the roof of the bedchamber, to be precise. As I recalled, the roof was sloped, covered with glazed tiles, and adorned with Vermilion Bird sculptures at each corner.96aefd42c3002564

Now, I was curious 09b4ada616 as to why he 661044aff4 had climbed onto the d263101b06 roof in the middle 0fc41abae9 of the night. I secretly followed c4594e00a1 his breathing, waiting 6f69f1a390 and waiting and fc1c9ab2cc waiting until I c7f8390198 was drowsy and 0bc8e9001f had nearly plucked 10665252da Ah Jiu bald. Yet, there 42c1f691d9 was still ac4c15a10e no movement.92a36e0127b1042e

…He couldn’t have fallen asleep, could he? Wait, wait a minute! Don’t tell me he’s been sleeping on the roof all along?7c73c82a30d733be

The more 7cd9c43697 I thought 08125f1087 about it, e17816d758 the more d9b66a7f6d sense it 2bbc8d48f9 made. Whenever anything, even remotely eb7a25bbe9 concerning, happened to me, 78f5f16306 he would instantly appear 37e1159947 before me.168733d588981ac8

In the novel, Gu Jincheng was an orphan taken in by the Demon Palace and trained as Yu Ke’s warrior. He clawed his way up from countless casualties to become the only person allowed by Yu Ke’s side. Let’s exclude Ah Jiu, since he was a bird.de1aab566cda3ffa

I didn’t know what Gu Jincheng meant to Yu Ke in this world, what place he held in his heart, but I knew I was incredibly anxious.fd1539717874f5b8

In the novel, Gu Jincheng was brimming with loyalty, but now, I couldn’t fathom his intentions! In the end, I had to endure until daybreak. All the while, I could still sense Gu Jincheng’s breathing!0cf17cab7672677b

As dawn broke, 2a07ac856b at the chen 9de59feaca hour, Gu Jincheng 91d3dd9012 finally knocked on e2fe0a0d57 the door and 9b972b3b9e reported where he ecedde9db1 had been and 27a9f7493e what information he 99bb467585 had gathered. He informed me that ed4490e879 all the Domain Lords b03d12874e would attend the gathering, 2632be6665 including Jiang Gui from 76ec6436b2 the Bone Domain.d97aaa622975f228

The Yin energy above the Bone Domain’s main city was still abnormally dense. He said there was a golden pattern swirling within the black currents circulating in the sky. Based on Gu Jincheng’s description, it sounded like a magic formation.7822673481fb7619

Wang Duoju had previously been turned away by Jiang Gui, but now, carrying my command, Gu Jincheng couldn’t be refused. However, Jiang Gui claimed he was cultivating a new technique, requiring him to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by condensing the magic formation.ea2d680dfe381fd7

After finishing his report, Gu Jincheng stepped aside. Ah Jiu, having just woken up, flapped his wings and landed on Gu Jincheng’s shoulder, nuzzling and cuddling his neck.605a5c18eeb2867e

“Jincheng, the Demon Lord took my Reincarnation fruit and still hasn’t taken me to where that blue snake bastard is!”22a1836b04b4d495

Unsure of how d782d77959 to respond, I 84d3ec693b sat at the eaf48e9ee2 table with a f7a78097b0 troubled expression.55de5c68b2e2101d

Gu Jincheng smiled and scratched Ah Jiu’s beak.c1a9c2d0e74e0bfd

“If the Demon Lord did that, there must be a reason. You caused a ruckus yesterday by devouring those demonic beasts, so you should be quiet now.”e222b661ad051ee5

After his lecture, Gu Jincheng looked at me and asked, “Demon Lord, I’ve already sent people to clean up this morning. Many of the cages are empty. Should I bring in more demonic beasts?”2470e2cd96199cf8

Secretly, I 9df693d0e4 was relieved 88527272b7 that Ah d848a68ef9 Jiu had c4514652c3 eaten the 9d99be21ac beasts. It would 6f5d8025ec give Song 99a5b70b49 Qiyuan a fadcdd1cd2 few days eb2ccf4b3b of peace.cd8b89b4be7beabf

“No. Even if we bring more, he’ll just devour them again. Leave the cages empty to discourage him.”60b88684b43a9a6d

The moment 080381c1ba I spoke, 0222198201 Ah Jiu e8f3773d45 across the b08afc3ae6 room bristled, 8c41e79758 his small 386ea5310f eyes widening e543e19b9c as if eecf128475 he were e79ddfdc59 about to ae80496d9c breathe fire.4c80ad9f60e1fe67

“I barely ate anything! Why would you say that? Hmph, you’re teasing me again! I want to be alone! I’m going to the Demon Mountains to play with the fox!”cda52736139961b0

With that, Ah Jiu flapped his wings rapidly and flew away. I could only laugh. There were few beings in this world who could threaten Ah Jiu, so I wasn’t particularly worried about him.98882781ce721911

The fox he mentioned was a fox who had attained sentience through cultivation. While it couldn’t shapeshift, it could understand human speech. It often accompanied Ah Jiu, who also couldn’t shapeshift, and they spent their days terrorizing the weaker demons. All the demons in the surrounding mountains feared them.bc4aaf29ea1a68b9

Shapeshifting was incredibly difficult for demons. The more talented and powerful the bloodline, the harder it was to disguise oneself, and the tribulation of transformation was even more terrifying. Ah Jiu had always yearned to transform into a human, but he had been injured attempting it in the past. I didn’t want Ah Jiu to become human. He was so adorable in his current form; why bother going through such hardship to transform?496d9903deab027e

The day I had eagerly awaited, the day of Song Qiyuan’s “death,” had finally arrived. The night before, I had simulated various escape routes. After dealing with Song Qiyuan today, I planned to take Ah Jiu on a journey around this world, leaving the search for the Azure Dragon to fate. If we found him, I would enjoy their noisy squabble; if not, I would give up and wait for Song Qiyuan to grow stronger before finding a secluded place to hide.81835e300d66a13b

Today was also the biggest turning point in Song Qiyuan’s life. His master would rescue him from the river, administer medicine to reconnect his meridians, setting the stage for his future.02dcb3c876cc1854

Later, his master would send him to the Qingcang Sect, entrusting him to Xingjiu Zhenren (Sobering Master), also known as “Jiuxian” (Wine Immortal), whose real name was Ruan Shijiu, a close friend of Song Qiyuan’s deceased father. Under the sect’s guidance, Song Qiyuan would gradually grow stronger, eventually becoming the sect leader of Qingcang, a pillar of the cultivation world. And in the great war between Immortals and Demons, he would succeed in toppling Yu Ke’s Demon Palace and personally capturing the great villain, Yu Ke.5ceb0b3493222809

In the novel, Yu Ke never realized that the boy who stirred up chaos in the cultivation world was the same Song Qiyuan he had “killed.” Yu Ke was consumed by indulgence, murder, and arson, constantly scheming with his subordinates on how to annihilate the cultivation sects beyond the Heavenly River.60506638ae664a31

Sitting on Ah Jiu’s back, the gentle breeze gradually calming my nerves, I turned my head. Looking at Gu Jincheng following behind on his two-headed lion with fiery wings and at Song Qiyuan confined in the metal cage, my heart grew heavy.4e9daf36ad6dcfc8

The boy was leaning a9ff1d62e8 against a pillar with d6d426309a his eyes closed. The late a2b032dd6b autumn wind 43ea636545 at this df10f71b3e altitude was dc447fa828 quite chilly, 1318f71645 and he 655e3bdf04 trembled like a4baa13d59 a withered 4583f4ddb5 blade of 7ff285a9b5 grass about 7857331ad2 to break.95b73736856aec1f

Turning my head to 83938ab810 face forward, I composed f948d5c5bd myself, adopting an expression 35ee6b6eb7 that was 30% malicious, aca6dd0c6e 30% cold, and 40% b4ef15781d serious, preparing to face 071b900a45 the Domain Lords who c20c1c1797 would soon appear.106c0b335fc2a330

While the two-headed lion with fiery wings wasn’t as fast as Ah Jiu, it wasn’t slow either. My entourage was also impressive. Over a hundred Demon Palace experts, all at least at the Nascent Soul stage, surrounded us. Five people rode on each two-headed lion, and there were over twenty lions in total. Add to that the enormous Ah Jiu I was riding, and the spectacle was complete.ea08cfd27af6af2f
