MD Ch 2 Part 9

Gu Jincheng returned a04741bb48 to the Demon 503fe30e1e Palace the following 68b99417a6 evening. It was eight 8aec4162a4 or nine hours 9881e652dd later than I ceed031405 had anticipated.b09176477c5e157a

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.a8424b2304f9355d

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.b922ad173431f421

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.bb1dc4f9dfafd7f7

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.c9cf64f65d46d3d2

Now, I was ee7bf4dfc3 curious as to c010cb426e why he had 5131996317 climbed onto the 61704f8eb6 roof in the 18ae45056b middle of the 25ee9f55db night. I secretly 51ea2e20c1 followed his 195500071a breathing, waiting 10ccc15710 and waiting 61039752f8 and waiting 1536018420 until I 842c48b1a8 was drowsy 1f3b23181f and had 296b5c2ebc nearly plucked e879cc66a7 Ah Jiu 3b2ac31abf bald. Yet, there was still ac8e30175e no movement.2b298a63a625a459

…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?c65ada1122d25072

The more I cef6d5b8e0 thought about it, 8c49e0235e the more sense 9a3188478b it made. Whenever anything, even a57caa32d8 remotely concerning, happened 99e2ec471d to me, he 69ba5dc04a would instantly appear 7c712ff957 before me.61d983d67c89ea81

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.a453b2b193201431

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.02e6afe5320d1fe0

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!474b58ab7f039f98

As dawn 1ef7491997 broke, at db34afe333 the chen c326058105 hour, Gu 373b06aa5d Jincheng finally 867c9f6b81 knocked on 2d074f89f8 the door 64ba5db31f and reported 17e3bad4eb where he 6a1b5e32ad had been 8b8d879ce3 and what 0ad923d3a9 information he 0ffc6145d9 had gathered. He informed fa20061421 me that 9eaa9ed72d all the 3e14e9bbc9 Domain Lords f5b42aa3b3 would attend 415b732ab2 the gathering, 955451a413 including Jiang 84f454e6a7 Gui from ac4134003b the Bone 7ffe3a0e59 Domain.96cef9d2130eeb67

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.f479cc6dfd9dd8fe

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.40883987552748a8

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.893660f6dc392a97

“Jincheng, the Demon Lord took my Reincarnation fruit and still hasn’t taken me to where that blue snake bastard is!”8ad2c114b036e9a3

Unsure of how 761c446bbc to respond, I fbc589632a sat at the 8e210a1db3 table with a 47ac81aa75 troubled expression.ab077390688e53ad

Gu Jincheng smiled and scratched Ah Jiu’s beak.57b55f39ebd2eb8f

“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.”6c8bd4ad9a6abe77

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?”cf92e8fe8cce8fa7

Secretly, I was relieved 1167816d94 that Ah Jiu had 438ca9b128 eaten the beasts. It would give Song 70e18fc2d4 Qiyuan a few days 57b5acf247 of peace.9f0c513d2a86d614

“No. Even if we bring more, he’ll just devour them again. Leave the cages empty to discourage him.”2a1ff7b47c7fff20

The moment I spoke, 6f0f8c1b95 Ah Jiu across the f5f35f4143 room bristled, his small 1de914cae5 eyes widening as if 91002ce5b2 he were about to fbbc3b7489 breathe fire.11b970e4aa094e43

“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!”d8e30bea41e3c7ad

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.29886dd3ce9f9c36

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.b1b85d2bdda67fc6

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?20d2e16c658aa735

There was still 8596a40931 a week left 91def4e296 until the day e0d97f20a4 I was supposed 797ea8adcb to kill Song ab10467099 Qiyuan at the d246a95df2 Heavenly River.7126fb53ad078a9b

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.886cfd1f207ba460

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.deb379144260f40c

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.fe10fdca19bc65ae

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.78de295aee1dff59

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.df70cf28a244bb47

The boy was fc4cf7b693 leaning against a 1dd6b75bdb pillar with his 621584a4ef eyes closed. The late c59f012d77 autumn wind 93116f5b3a at this c3522c3dab altitude was 346f7f2063 quite chilly, 8989a7bf96 and he 263f302436 trembled like 8c25239602 a withered 496eb34b96 blade of 029152e529 grass about fed1d5526d to break.8aea41633448c699

Putting myself in his e6e9b6fe76 shoes, if I were 6d3f702de1 Song Qiyuan, and Yu a912c74284 Ke, who had been f25dbd3f67 abusing me, suddenly fed 7713a052e7 me warm chicken porridge, 57498ffdf6 disappeared for a few f8836b2e15 days, and now seemed 62b745568a intent on killing me 61a4f75e52 again, it would be 79dadc9802 natural to feel confused 922960335a and disoriented.8458cc982a3e0928

Turning my a8f3bbe119 head to 1d7a9d3272 face forward, 6f87db759f I composed 51a9cb7c54 myself, adopting c2bb02bd18 an expression fb850d960d that was ddcca65efb 30% malicious, e46442e4f2 30% cold, abb1a96487 and 40% 484d22c634 serious, preparing bad5428806 to face 41c81784d4 the Domain 4781f532d8 Lords who c32d2124b5 would soon add41f075d appear.110c7431164c65e2

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.933a20988b72456b
