Chapter 118: I Agree to This Marriage!

~14 min read 2,763 words

The relationship between Liuyu and Jiu Jiu is very subtle.

Often, she does not actually know what Jiu Jiu is going to do, but looking at the final results, most of the things Jiu Jiu does are correct.

The experiences over these years have all proven this point.

Since it is right, Liuyu has no extra thoughts to influence Jiu Jiu, but what surprises her most is that Jiu Jiu's performance is truly too mature and too calm.

And now, the memories appearing in Liuyu's mind make her immerse herself in them.

The perspective of a short figure.

Th-this is Jiu Jiu's memory.

Liuyu reacts all at once, because in this memory, she sees a person, and that person is none other than herself.

The past echoing in her mind.

Here—this is the Yin Family residence.

【Everything you see is everything that once happened, and now it has already been changed.】

Before an old servant of the Yin Family is about to die, she is quietly waiting for the other party to die at that moment—preparing to quietly absorb the other party's Soul Qi—but the result is that she is discovered by someone in secret.

Seeing this scene, Liuyu then matches it with Jiu Jiu's previous actions, and suddenly her mind becomes clear, and she has some realization.

Now, the reasons for why Jiu Jiu does these things are completely obtained.

Now that this memory has appeared, Liuyu's train of thought is instantly clear.

And the two of them also come to know and understand each other in this process.

Yes!

Only if Jiu Jiu has personally experienced these things can she be so familiar with them; otherwise, what would she use to change them?

In a situation of complete ignorance, it is impossible for changes to occur.

After briefly taking care of Jiu Jiu for four or five years, she indeed died from injuries too severe to treat.

【And as one reborn, you have the right to know the truth of these things.】

Jiu Jiu has always wanted to make Liuyu see the true face of the Yin Family clearly.

The events that follow make Liuyu's complexion change slightly.

Sure enough, the Yin Family, half-believing and half-doubting, invites several monks of Buddhism, and after verifying the situation, they strike directly.

When she was a person inside the situation, Liuyu did not feel much, because she felt that the Yin Family treated her sincerely, so she exchanged sincerity for sincerity.

And the subsequent development makes Liuyu feel more and more sorrowful and pitiful; over these hundreds of years, Jiu Jiu has lived a displaced life, relying on some cultivation methods left behind during her own dying moments.

Liuyu's original ending was to die at the hands of the monks brought by the Yin Family, and looking at the kind of injuries in Jiu Jiu's memory, she herself should have perished very soon.

In her early years, she did not understand Jiu Jiu's actions, but now she has gained full understanding.

Until

One day, in Guanzhong, a familiar face appears.

"It matches—everything matches," Liuyu mutters to herself: "I was wondering why Jiu Jiu would care so much about this kid; it turns out the story starts here."

Right now, the only thing Liuyu wants to weigh is whether these memories are real?

Analyzing it this way, then this memory is most likely Jiu Jiu's most original memory, and later she obtained some kind of encounter—thereby gaining the opportunity to return to the past, allowing her regrets to be sealed away.

Then to Gu Jiangming meeting Jiu Jiu again in an abandoned residence, worrying that Jiu Jiu would encounter misfortune living in such a haunted house, and planning to take Jiu Jiu in as a book boy.

If one follows this line of thought to reverse-engineer the logic, then can the changes in Jiu Jiu also prove that she once personally experienced these things?

Otherwise, why would Jiu Jiu try every possible way to make them leave the Yin Family?

And if she had actually revealed her demon form, these monks would not have been able to do anything to her, but Liuyu did not want to hurt the Yin Family, still harboring a sliver of fantasy for family harmony, and as a result, her own holding back instead rang the death knell for her.

Listening to the voice in her mind, Liuyu thinks again; given the relationship between demons and the Human Race, this turning of faces by the Yin Family is something Liuyu could have completely anticipated.

"So, Jiu Jiu changed the original ending by returning to the past?"

Thinking of this, Liuyu grinds her teeth in hatred.

In other words.

She has drunk stream water, eaten wild fruit from trees, stolen some food in places where the Human Race is dense, and been chased and beaten, but fortunately, she is a demon, and ordinary people cannot do anything to her.

Liuyu slowly weighs it all out.

But from the perspective of an outsider, her actions are only pitiful and naive.

Watching Jiu Jiu snatch the cake from Gu Jiangming's hand and wanting to tease the other party, then seeing Gu Jiangming shake his head helplessly and buy a few more cakes for Jiu Jiu.

As a relatively intelligent demon of the Demon Race from ancient times, Liuyu was previously feeling her way across the river, lacking sufficient information, so it was difficult to know the underlying threads.

A demon's act caught in the act, and Liuyu knows what the subsequent development will be.

She also does not understand why her own daughter could be so precocious at such a young age.

As for that person, Liuyu also recognizes him.

Slowly, the two report their names to each other, which counts as getting to know one another.

And she, unable to bear hurting her husband's family, held back against these few monks, but ended up suffering heavy injuries; fortunately, she managed to escape successfully while carrying her daughter, Jiu Jiu.

Jiu Jiu must have experienced it once—that is why she would know how to change the history of the past, and the memory she is seeing now is the very original memory.

But the loneliest part is that for hundreds of years, she has always been just one person, a lonely and helpless person.

Liuyu takes a deep breath.

Especially for having caused suffering to her daughter, Jiu Jiu.

In the end, they even happily tied the knot and became husband and wife.

"In other words, they were a pair to begin with," Liuyu thinks to herself: "Otherwise, with Jiu Jiu's temperament, it would be impossible for her to suddenly take a fancy to a kid of the Human Race."

"In this way, the situations I didn't know about can be completely explained."

Including why Jiu Jiu was so insistent on killing that Baishou Yao.

Because in this memory, Baishou Yao once endangered Gu Jiangming's life.

The way Jiu Jiu has acted over these years and the story within these memories have all aligned, and Liuyu has even fully grasped the reason why Jiu Jiu had to do what she did.

However,

based on this alone, Jiu Jiu feels it is still far from the point where Jiu Jiu would love Gu Jiangming so deeply, because to Liuyu, these memories still feel very one-sided; when it comes down to it, Gu Jiangming was just a relatively kind-hearted person among humans.

Not until she saw the emergence of Mount Shu, saw the siege of Mount Shu, saw the crowd aggressively storming Mount Shu to demand the Honored Lord slay the demon, and then saw Gu Jiangming smiling at Jiu Jiu, not only choosing not to slay the demon but also using his soon-to-be-exhausted lifespan to fight these people with all his might, even leaving them all behind on Mount Shu.

In the end, Gu Jiangming sat down and passed away right in front of Jiu Jiu.

Liuyu was completely plunged into shock and silence.

She could now fully piece everything together.

Why Jiu Jiu had to take her away from the Yin Family, why Jiu Jiu had to kill the Baishou Yao, why Jiu Jiu insisted on seeing Gu Jiangming, and why someone with such a proud temperament as Jiu Jiu could take a fancy to him.

And the reason why Jiu Jiu and Gu Jiangming would deal such heavy blows to the people of the Hundred Schools.

Because it was these people of the Hundred Schools who had attacked Mount Shu back then, and now, Jiu Jiu had returned to the past to repay the debt of the siege of Mount Shu tenfold to the people of the Hundred Schools, letting them be completely uprooted.

Everything here was well-founded and logical.

When they first met, Liuyu even felt that Gu Jiangming was somewhat climbing above his station by being with her intelligent daughter.

Whether it was cultivation or ability.

She had believed Gu Jiangming was a notch inferior and unworthy of her precious daughter.

Looking at it now, what on earth was she thinking back then?

How could she have such a foolish thought!

Everything Gu Jiangming did was worthy of Jiu Jiu loving him so deeply.

As of now, the thing that angers Liuyu the most is that there was originally a daughter named Gu Mingyue between Gu Jiangming and Jiu Jiu, but currently, some circumstances have occurred, causing her granddaughter not to be born.

She is now completely in favor of this marriage.

Because the many details in these memories make it very hard for Liuyu not to support her daughter.

Especially since this also concerns the birth of her granddaughter.

Liuyu even feels that Jiu Jiu is being a bit too lukewarm; with the content in these memories, why hasn't she snatched Gu Jiangming away yet, what is she waiting for?

Waiting for others to start grabbing him?

No, she must quickly find a way to offer Jiu Jiu some advice.

Reviewing these stories in her mind, the more Liuyu thought about it, the more she could not let this daughter, who was dull-witted and didn't even know how to please her husband, miss out on such a fine match.

Especially since she had to find a way to let Mingyue be born first.

"I don't support the decision of one person per room," Jiu Jiu said with a calm expression, a statement that made Gu Jiangming quite surprised.

"I want to stay in the same room as you."

Regarding this decision, Jiu Jiu had nothing more to say; this was an important matter to ensure her daughter's early birth.

She couldn't just watch Mingyue perish like this and end up without even a soul, could she?

Since she had already drawn such a line in the sand against the stupid dragon, Jiu Jiu felt she didn't need any so-called face anymore.

Because if she cared too much about face, she feared another unexpected accident might happen.

Gu Jiangming also didn't expect that the offensive Jiu Jiu had just paused would strike again, and so quickly at that.

"Besides, you said you love me in this life; since it is this life, there shouldn't be any problem with people who love each other staying in the same room, right?"

Jiu Jiu added.

Gu Jiangming opened his eyes wide, shocked beyond measure; no, did it have to be this intense? Your pace is moving way too fast.

But the problem was, what Jiu Jiu said didn't seem to have any flaws!

"If you two are staying in one room, then I want to stay in the same room as you two," Long Xi's unique refusal to admit defeat manifested here.

Lifting her snow-white, velvety chin, she said earnestly: "Otherwise, it's not fair."

"Fine," Jiu Jiu did not refuse; she wanted to see just how shameless this stupid dragon could be.

Furthermore, Jiu Jiu's personality was inherently of the bolder type, and even a bit black-bellied.

Since you want to stay, then I'll let you stay, and don't blame her later if her blade is sharp and hurts your little dragon girl heart enough.

No, the vibe is wrong.

Gu Jiangming instantly realized a dangerous sensation; Jiu Jiu's tone clearly meant she was playing for real.

She wouldn't want to do that kind of thing in front of Long Xi, would she?

And Gu Jiangming subconsciously looked at Jiu Jiu, wanting to see some clues on her face, but only saw Jiu Jiu puffing out her chest.

Xu Qingyun, hearing such words that challenged the values of the world, dared not continue eavesdropping and instead fled the scene.

He was afraid that if he kept listening, it would stir up some unnecessary disputes.

Jiu Jiu's ears twitched slightly, noticing the movement outside, and she slowly revealed a wicked, awe-inspiring smile as she placed her hands under her chest and lifted them slightly upward.

Jiu Jiu's size was already not small, and her action made Gu Jiangming shiver slightly.

The next second, her body suddenly leaned forward right in front of Gu Jiangming.

Gu Jiangming's expression was calm; thanks to the reinforcement of his Inborn Proud Bones and Pure Heart, his willpower was incomparably strong, and a situation like this could not stump him at all.

There was absolutely no blushing or heart-pounding; his gaze was not drifting, and he did not look distracted or infatuated.

Instead, he very openly reached out and lifted Jiu Jiu's chest, as if testing its weight.

"You're too close to me; my nose is full of your scent."

As he spoke, Gu Jiangming's tone even carried a hint of small disdain.

Jiu Jiu had not expected that she would rarely make such a move, wanting to secretly attract Gu Jiangming's attention, only to be met with such a 'cold' attitude.

Moreover, Gu Jiangming's heartbeat hadn't accelerated at all; Jiu Jiu could hear it clearly at this distance.

Her smile immediately turned dangerous.

Gu Jiangming said immediately: "We're already an old married couple; this routine is truly outdated."

He still possessed a proper desire to "survive."

If he truly angered Jiu Jiu, wouldn't his daughter, Gu Mingyue, be gone? When it was time to curry favor with Jiu Jiu, he still had to do it, otherwise she wouldn't give birth to her.

"Touch mine." Long Xi watched Gu Jiangming's hand-raising motion and immediately pointed to her own, saying, "Mine are bigger than hers, look, they're much heavier."

How utterly shameless!

Jiu Jiu was suddenly enraged; is this how you seduce a man, you damn woman?

What kind of underhanded trick is that?

So what if your chest is big?

You're even letting Gu Jiangming touch them right in front of me, the legitimate wife; do you really think I don't exist?

Gu Jiangming watched as Long Xi extremely generously stretched out both hands, mimicking the action by lifting her own chest.

Watching such a vigorous up-and-down motion, he felt a bit dizzy and overwhelmed.

No, Jiu Jiu has learned bad habits, and you're following suit, right?

You don't learn the good, but you learn all the bad, and you've even surpassed the master!

"Hers are so small," Long Xi added another sentence: "And they don't look bouncy either, though I don't actually like this; they usually feel heavy, and it's not very comfortable to turn over when sleeping."

Jiu Jiu erupted, blue veins throbbing on her snow-white forehead, and then, grinding her silver teeth, she said: "With them that big, are you planning to be a wet nurse for someone?"

"If I have a child with Gu Jiangming, I'll have you be that wet nurse."

Gu Jiangming was expressionless, not knowing what to say to respond to this; he discovered that between Jiu Jiu and Long Xi, it was a complete case of the five elements clashing—although they had compromised for the moment and decided to stay, the problem was that the verbal sparring between the two never stopped.

If it wasn't comparing this, it was comparing that.

And inside the Taiyi Bead, Liu Moran, who had just woken up, looked at the "obese" chests of Jiu Jiu and Long Xi that were a complete mess.

As a woman, she couldn't help but lower her head to look at her own.

Under her pale blue spirit body, Liu Moran bit her lip; everything was left unsaid.

So, Senior Brother likes them big?

Senior Brother's reincarnation is truly lecherous.

If it were Senior Brother's past life, he would definitely have liked them small like mine, right?
