Chapter 386

Seeing Qin Yang Líqù, Jiang Wanrou's family said nothing.

They also felt too ashamed to say anything; Qin Yang had nothing to be sorry for, and instead they owed him.

Moreover, the two sides had long since severed ties, equivalent to cutting off all bonds; when Qin Yang saw them, his heart was calm, and even if they were now full of regret, it was useless.

A recent saying goes, "Late-arriving deep affection is cheaper than grass," and now they have a profound understanding of that.

"Alright, don't think so much anymore." Li Jingyi said, "Some things can't be forced; what's past is past."

Jiang Wanrou showed a bitter smile and said to Li Jingyi, "Mm, I understand completely in my heart; this way, I won't stand in between you anymore, and you can be with him openly and boldly."

Li Jingyi sighed and did not respond.

Since the previous incident, she has known that wanting to be with Qin Yang is almost impossible.

Although she continued to strive and never gave up, from Qin Yang's attitude Li Jingyi could clearly feel that she had no hope.

Otherwise, the fact that so many people suddenly left, supposedly to cultivate in a mysterious place, while Qin Yang didn't take her along, already says a lot.

Li Jingyi smiled, but in the end she still didn't answer.

But at this moment, Qin Yang discovered that he truly didn't care anymore, with no ripples in his heart.

He seemed lost in thought, and suddenly a profound, mysterious feeling arose in his heart.

Afterwards, Qin Yang could clearly feel his Jìngjiè rising, his Dao heart becoming exceedingly clear and transparent to the extreme, and even the mist ahead dissipated in an instant.

Originally only at the Tiānxiān Jìngjiè, he was now not far from the Mystic Immortal Jìngjiè.

Qin Yang, lost in thought, realized that truly comprehending the myriad aspects of the mortal world could indeed enhance his cultivation.

He couldn't help but smile.

Ji Dou Dou beside him was somewhat puzzled, not knowing why Qin Yang's aura had suddenly changed drastically, making him seem completely different from before; at this moment, he gave her the feeling of standing on a higher place, evoking a sense of being unattainable.

Upon realizing this, Ji Dou Dou's heart stirred, and she immediately asked, "Has your strength increased?"

Qin Yang nodded and said, "My Jìngjiè has improved a little; I'm not far from the Mystic Immortal Jìngjiè."

Ji Dou Dou's eyes lit up instantly, and she laughed, saying, "That's great!" Then she looked at Qin Yang and said, "Tomorrow, take me to the Moon Palace."

Qin Yang glanced at her doubtfully and asked, "Why the rush?"

Ji Dou Dou shook her head, her expression solemn, saying, "I want to be able to help you, at least not drag you down, so I want to increase my strength, make myself as strong as possible; cultivation speed in the Moon Palace is very fast, and only there can I quickly grow, becoming your aid rather than a burden."

Qin Yang really wanted to say he didn't need their help and had never thought they were a burden, but seeing Ji Dou Dou's determined gaze, he knew that saying this now would be useless and would dampen her enthusiasm for cultivation.

Thus Qin Yang nodded and said, "Alright, tomorrow I'll take you to the Moon Palace; tonight, I'll keep you company properly."

Ji Dou Dou's face flushed slightly; she naturally understood what "keeping you company properly" implied, and she would inevitably have to exert herself.

A brief separation beats a new marriage; this is definitely a battle of the intestines.

Qin Yang flashed a hint of joy, took her hand, and said, "Shall we head back now?"

Ji Dou Dou gave him a sideways glance: "Why the rush?"

Qin Yang wore a bitter expression and said, "You have no idea how many days I've held back, how many days I've gone without 'eating meat.' I suddenly feel a bit Hòuhuǐ; otherwise, you could just stay on Lan Xing. If you leave, won't I end up living like a monk?"

Ji Dou Dou couldn't help but laugh, then gave him another sideways glance: "That's not an exaggeration at all, and on Lan Xing there are certainly other people, right? That Li Jingyi is not bad; she's always liked you—why don't you win her over?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang shook his head: "Her heart isn't completely on my side."

Ji Dou Dou gave him an annoyed look: "I thought you were carefree, but I didn't expect you to be this obstinate. How much does she like you? Earlier, when I said those things for Jiang Wanrou, it was just out of loyalty and righteousness. A woman like her is already quite good; if you were with her, the sisters wouldn't have any objections."

"Let's talk about it later."

Qin Yang said lightly.

Seeing Qin Yang's unwillingness to talk further, Ji Dou Dou could only shrug, thinking to herself: the most she could do to help Li Jingyi was this; any more would be impossible to say.

If Qin Yang truly rejected her, no matter how much she said, it would have no effect.

That night, the two returned to Zhu Chu; the night was filled with battling waves, tossed about, until the next afternoon when Qin Yang finally brought Ji Dou Dou soaring into space.

Even though it wasn't her first time venturing into space, Ji Dou Dou was still stunned by the sight before her: the endless darkness, the sky full of stars, completely different from what she saw on Lan Xing.

In the starry sky, it was both dazzling and desolately lonely, filled with deathly stillness, devoid of any vitality.

Lan Xing hangs alone in the universe, solitary and floating; one glance evokes a sense of loneliness, as if only Lan Xing harbors life while everywhere else is dead silence.

After a sigh, Qin Yang had already sent Ji Dou Dou to the Moon Palace.

At that moment, Chang'e walked over and said to Qin Yang, "I sensed someone descending to the lower realm."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang's body jolted, somewhat incredulous: "Hasn't Jue Tian Di Tong already been sealed? How can someone still descend?"

He wore a doubtful expression, gazing at Chang'e, waiting for her to continue explaining.

Chang'e said solemnly: "Jue Tian Di Tong applies only to ordinary beings; for true powerhouses, it means nothing to them. That person's aura feels somewhat familiar—likely a certain heavenly general. You needn't worry; a heavenly general's strength isn't too great, basically at the Golden Immortal level, and some are merely at the Mystic Immortal Jìngjiè. With your strength, you should be able to handle it."

Upon hearing Chang'e's words, Qin Yang's expression grew grave.

If it's a Mystic Immortal, that's fine; if it's a Golden Immortal, I definitely wouldn't be a match.

Fortunately, Chiyou's strength has now recovered to the Golden Immortal level; otherwise, he truly wouldn't be able to deal with such a powerhouse.

Of course, this is based on the premise that they are coming for him.

"Alright, I understand, thank you for the reminder, fairy."

Qin Yang Xī le yī kǒu qì, thanked Chang'e.

Chang'e nodded and warned, "Be extremely careful; those who come from the Heavenly Court are no simple matter. If they're coming for you, you'd best first go inform your master."

After a pause, Chang'e continued.

However, if your master truly is the one beside Erlang Shen, Xiāngxìn he would also have sensed that heavenly general, so there's no need to worry; he will surely keep an eye on the opponent's movements and won't let them strike at you.

Qin Yang chuckled and said, "Even if he really wanted to strike, I wouldn't be afraid; Senior Chiyou is already a Golden Immortal."

Chang'e's eyes lit up instantly.

Chiyou becoming a Golden Immortal means his body has already collected at least three fragments.

Given time, as long as all of Chiyou's bodily fragments are gathered, he can recover to become the ancient, all-powerful demon god.

By then, let alone a heavenly general; even if the top experts of the Heavenly Court wanted to suppress him, it would not be easy, and they might not succeed.
