Chapter 295: 295 Demons' Hearts in Turmoil

When the double-headed snake incident occurred, Tushan Jiu has been very busy lately.

Maomao and Wang Dongqing also notified their sect, and several old Heavenly Masters thus left seclusion to go guard important barrier sites everywhere.

Tushan Jiu deduced that the double-headed snake had escaped from the barrier at Mount Sorrowful.

This doesn't require them to take action; just notify the office at Mount Sorrowful to have them reinforce the barrier and briefly force open the gate, then directly counterattack with a Five Thunder Strike, so they know the consequences of trespassing without permission—this also serves as a warning to them.

Perhaps they know they are in the wrong over there, or perhaps they now have a bigger plot, so there has been no movement at all.

What Tushan Jiu and her group need to do now is to defend Nan Cheng well.

After all, few people know that Nan Cheng actually also has a 'gate'.

The location of this 'gate' is right at the border between Nan Cheng and the neighboring city.

Nan Cheng and the neighboring city are connected by a cross-river bridge.

The middle of the bridge is exactly where that 'gate' is located.

So recently, the office dispatches a team each day to patrol, checking for any abnormalities.

But two months have passed, and there hasn't been any further incident of demons crossing the border.

Not only Nan Cheng, but other places are the same.

It seems the double-headed snake's tribulation incident was just an accident.

Tushan Jiu instead feels this is the calm before the storm, because these days her observation of that 'gate' shows she can see the qi around it trembling, and faintly a thread of demonic power is seeping outward.

They say when a child is quiet, they're surely up to mischief.

The group of demons opposite the barrier is probably also researching how to cause trouble.

But no matter what they're preparing, there are still ten years left until the centennial agreement expires, and if they dare set even a single foot into the human world, they'll have their legs broken!

Moreover, the office recently set up a special hotline specifically for those demons who have taken human form and legally live in the human world to consult problems.

After all, if the two realms really went to war, they would inevitably be sent back to the demon realm.

Thus everyone was in an uproar, and the demons' hearts were anxious and uneasy.

Bai Yu's side is even worse—basically every few days he sends Tushan Jiu a message asking what's going on.

For demons like them who want to peacefully coexist with humans, they definitely do not want to go to war.

Just as Tushan Jiu got home, finished her bath, and came out of the bathroom, she received another round of complaints from Bai Yu.

Over and over it's just those few sentences, cursing the great demons, saying they're full and idle, and also that he might go back to the demon realm to give those great demons DDT, the medicine won't kill them, this bunch of calamities, etc.

Tushan Jiu laughed at Bai Yu's childish remarks.

One can easily picture his grinning, teeth-baring expression when he says that.

Xie Shiyu had just returned from the nursery, saw her laughing, and while fetching a hair dryer asked her, 'What are you laughing at?'

"What else could I laugh at? Bai Yu."

Xie Shiyu raised his eyebrows, 'Is he complaining again?'

Regarding the centennial agreement, Tushan Jiu told him, and he was aware of it.

Tushan Jiu sat on the sofa, 'Hmm, they said they're going back to the demon realm to give the great demons DDT.'

Xie Shiyu walked over with the hair dryer, patted his thigh, gesturing for her to lie down, hearing that, he also laughed, 'I remember he said the other day he'd go back to give those great demons laxatives, for two days—has his courage grown?'

Tushan Jiu couldn't stop laughing.

"But speaking of which, if those great demons really wanted to go to war, how would Bai Yu and you lot handle it?"

Tushan Jiu thought, 'Hmm, it's very likely we'd demand they return to the demon realm, otherwise we couldn't fight this battle; we know Bai Yu, but we don't know all demons—if the front lines are engaged and demons cause trouble in the rear, we can't leave any danger to the populace behind.'

Xie Shiyu lowered his head and kissed her forehead, 'My wife is a great hero, thank you for your hard work.'

Tushan Jiu, being praised, smiled with her eyes slightly crinkled.

But as she laughed, she suddenly thought of something, turned over and lay on Xie Shiyu's lap, saying, 'Husband, from today on, if you ever feel unwell or inexplicably irritable, you must tell me right away.'

"Huh?" Xie Shiyu, not understanding.

Tushan Jiu saw he hadn't reacted, sat up crawling, and said, 'The Son of Heaven's Qi is the heaven-chosen child selected by the Heavenly Dao; in some aspects one can sense things in advance, like your terrifyingly accurate intuition—that's one manifestation. My memory isn't great either; I just realized just now that, in a certain sense, we are "of the same lineage"!'

The more she spoke, the more she felt it was feasible, and she even nodded to herself, showing strong agreement with her own idea.

She cannot make precise predictions about the demons breaking the contract, but she can vaguely divine a hint: they will break the agreement and invade early.

That great demon king is lying.

Before he disappeared, he said ten years is neither long nor short, we'll see when the time comes.

That 'when the time comes' is definitely less than ten years!

But as for the specific time, Tushan Jiu divined it, and the result is that there will be a great variable.

And that variable is none other than the great demon king himself.

After all, his strength has already reached the level of an earth immortal, far beyond her capabilities, with many aspects being vague.

Just now, looking at Xie Shiyu, she suddenly recalled that the Son of Heaven's Qi is personally selected by the Heavenly Dao; if something major affecting humanity were to truly happen, they would also have a prior 'sensing'.

That way, as long as Xie Shiyu has an ominous premonition, they can strengthen their defenses.

Whether accurate or not, it at least won't be wrong.

Upon her saying that, Xie Shiyu understood: 'You mean your prophecy and my intuition can both be used in this incident.'

Tushan Jiu nodded, 'Exactly!'

Xie Shiyu understood, but then another problem arose: what should he do?

Thinking this, he also asked that.

Tushan Jiu smirked, 'This is simple—you just treat yourself as a radar.'

Xie Shiyu: '......'

Understood—it's whichever day he feels restless and irritable, uncomfortable with everything; that's when the time comes.

Seeing his helpless expression, Tushan Jiu knew he understood, covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, then turned and lay back on his lap, 'Just to be safe, let's take a detour to the bridge tomorrow morning and see if you feel anything.'

Xie Shiyu didn't speak, blowing her hair dry while thinking.

Suddenly, he turned off the hair dryer and asked Tushan Jiu: "You just said I was chosen by Heavenly Dao; does that mean I can understand it as, if I do Credit Sword with you, you can peek into deeper heavenly secrets?"

Tushan Jiu looked up at him, her big eyes blinking twice, then she sat up with a sudden movement, her expression becoming more solemn.

"According to reason, it's not feasible, because we are husband and wife, our bond is too deep; if we do Credit Sword, it would be nothingness—but—"

She looked at Xie Shiyu and continued: "But we can try; sometimes rules are meant to be broken, right?"

Moreover, she is the strongest Credit Sword Practitioner in a century, and he is a rare Great Qi Fortune Bearer that appears once in a hundred years.

If they collide, who knows—there might be different sparks.
