Chapter 123: Gu Jiangming is a Little Flustered

The path forward was already very clear in Liu Moran's mind.

The first priority was to eliminate the Inner Demon that shared her physical body.

She had accomplished this before, and since she had successfully severed the Inner Demon, the theoretical difficulty was not great.

After severing the Inner Demon.

The plan would be much simpler: just keep cultivating, possess the ability to protect oneself, spend the rest of one's life with Senior Brother, protect him well, and never let everything that happened before repeat itself—that would be complete fulfillment.

【You have found the Inner Demon residing within your own body and have made the decision to eliminate her.】

【And she is the culprit behind the destruction of the Shangyi Sect.】

【Judging from all aspects of information, once she takes over your body, both your combat instincts and the strength of your cultivation will increase significantly.】

【However, you do not know where such an Inner Demon came from; in fact, you feel she is not like an Inner Demon at all, but more like some kind of mysterious entity that exists as a companion.】

【Your Senior Brother has returned.】

【He gets up on tiptoe and quietly covers you with the quilt.】

【In truth, you have never liked eating this kind of thing.】

Since she had already let go this much, she might as well go completely wild to the end.

She was almost caught by Senior Brother while she was peeking at him.

【He looks at you with some surprise; in these days, your changes have been so great that he feels incomparably astonished.】

【You throw yourself into Senior Brother's arms, feeling the warmth of his body; the familiar scent makes you linger, and you cannot help but press against his chest and breathe.】

【2: Ask him for advice on cultivation methods.】

【Please choose your interaction option.】

【3: Throw yourself into his arms and feel the warmth of his body.】

Every interaction brought a strong sense of novelty to Liu Moran.

But after thinking about it.

Liu Moran's small face flushed slightly.

【But today, looking at the Sugar-coated Hawthorn Senior Brother brought back for you, your heart is filled with mixed feelings; as you take the Sugar-coated Hawthorn, you cannot help but shed tears.】

Whatever she had done, no matter which act was singled out, it was extremely insane.

【Gu Jiangming prepared a simple dinner for you; due to the ingredients, it was just plain, coarse fare, yet you increasingly feel that this kind of life is the essence of happiness.】

【"The taste is sweet and sour, I just don't know if you like it."】

【But you quietly wipe away your tears, not wanting your Senior Brother to see your uncomposed side.】

【He forces a smile and says, "Look, Senior Brother brought you a stick of Sugar-coated Hawthorn."】

【"I am bored to death, there is only me here," you say, tilting your head and pursing your pink lips, "I don't want you to beg others to treat my injuries; just stay here."】

【But seeing the smile you reveal as you throw yourself into his arms, he cannot help but reach out and gently stroke your hair.】

【1: Prepare today's dinner for him.】

However, she also felt that doing this was perhaps a bit too crazy.

Every move of this close-contact interaction with Senior Brother made Liu Moran's heart flutter; this was just... too stimulating.

They had only just married, and she came from a prestigious background; the etiquette she had been drilled in since childhood was essential, and of course, she knew how rebellious such behavior was.

【Looking at his appearance, he seems to be seeking a way to heal your injuries.】

【"What's wrong? Are you bored staying here alone?" Gu Jiangming flashes a doting smile at you.】

【Suddenly, he opens his eyes, and you reflexively close your own, pretending you were not peeking and were still fast asleep.】

She felt a bit eager to try.

【Moreover, you have never had any feelings for such mundane things.】

【Because by the time you finish eating, only the sour taste remains; you do not like that flavor, as what you love most is the layer of sugar paper wrapped on the outside.】

There was even a sense of immersive presence.

Liu Moran decided not to care anymore.

【Gu Jiangming falls into a long silence, saying nothing, only feeling that he is too useless for not having found a suitable way to alleviate your pain by now.】

【You intended to consummate the marriage with Senior Brother tonight, but he forcefully refused on the grounds that your body is weak.】

Her relationship with Senior Brother had previously stopped at being fellow disciples; this time, not only had there been new progress, but she had also transformed into Senior Brother's wife.

【This time, you only tasted the sweet sugar paper; after all, the sour hawthorn inside could not compare to the complex emotions surging in your heart.】

Liu Moran's heart was thumping non-stop.

【His eyelashes tremble slightly, and he exhales a faint breath.】

【"I found a small village nearby where many people live in seclusion; try this."】

She looked at the third option and fell into silence.

【Waking up from this sleep, you wake up earlier than Gu Jiangming, but you do not do anything else, just blankly watching Gu Jiangming sleeping beside you.】

On the other side, Gu Jiangming also began his round of operations for the new day.

In the previous round of operations.

His Junior Sister actually requested to consummate the marriage with him; this was simply insane. Gu Jiangming had seen Liu Moran's stat sheet, and her physical condition was currently in an extremely poor state.

Both her mental state and the injuries to her meridians were in a critical condition.

Consummate the marriage?

Only a madman would consummate the marriage.

Regardless of anything else, the priority was still the health issue.

Besides, Gu Jiangming's own emotions were not yet in place.

In the 【Reincarnation Simulation】, because of the long-term buildup, the character in the scene had the emotions in place, but the actual operator's emotions were not yet there.

He is actually quite principled.

【Your Yangji Fanyin Technique, which had been stagnant for a long time, has undergone a change once again.】

【It has been a long time since you broke through to the Seventh Layer, and the Yangji Fanyin Technique has a total of nine realms; every realm beyond this one will bring about earth-shaking changes.】

【This is a long-awaited improvement.】

【You have once again found that Innate Spirit Herb (Wang Qinghe).】

【Performing the most routine protection.】

This time, the Mie Changsheng Reincarnation Simulation is the most painful one for Wang Qinghe, because she has almost no room for operation.

On the screen—【Currently taking human form.】

What is there for Wang Qinghe to say about this?

Every day is just about paying attention to the slightest disturbance in the surroundings, while also worrying about being caught by other cultivators with malicious intent; every step of this transformation is like walking on thin ice.

In the past, she felt that the matter of cultivation was easy and relaxed.

Now, looking at the cultivation path of a spirit creature, Wang Qinghe finally feels what it means for cultivation to be difficult.

As long as one accident happens, it is basically the end.

Being able to run into a great philanthropist like Gu Jiangming is truly not easy, and he is even willing to protect her.

【You are in the process of working hard to take human form; you feel that in another two years, you will be able to transform into the human form you desire.】

【When you successfully take human form, you will possess 100 free attribute points, which can be used to evolve and improve any value you choose.】

【While Gu Jiangming is protecting you, he attempts to probe you for information.】

【He is looking for a way to heal internal injuries and meridian damage.】

【And you happen to have a way to solve meridian damage, which is to collect the dew that falls from your leaves in the early morning; it is covered in a large amount of spiritual power belonging to you, this Innate Spirit Herb, and using it is enough to alleviate or even heal such internal pain.】

【"I have a way to help you," you say bluntly; with your pure heart before taking human form, you immediately tell Gu Jiangming this method.】

【"As long as you collect the dew from my leaves in the early morning and feed it to the injured person, it can heal this kind of internal injury."】

No, how can I be so naive in this life?

This is just too pure.

Wang Qinghe wails; her first life of reincarnation was full of thoughts of love and Gu Jiangming, the second life was a refreshing battle, and this third life has turned into a brainless, silly girl.

Sell the favor a little bit.

You have to make him remember your kindness; you can't just give it away for free.

Can people remember an act of giving something away for free?

This is no different from that love-struck mindset; the only change is that this time, her past self doesn't have those deep emotional thoughts.

【"Good, I'll consider it as me owing you a favor," Gu Jiangming's eyes light up, "If you have any trouble in the future, just come find me."】

No.

Don't want a favor.

Wang Qinghe is furious.

A favor makes things distant.

What kind of people are these who don't understand social nuances?

If this matter is defined as a favor, isn't that just a disguised transaction?

The progress in their relationship, and even the affection, has faded; it makes her look like a younger sister who doesn't know better.

Why can't these two people hold a conversation?!

Looking at the information on the screen, Wang Qinghe is about to vomit blood from anger.

【"Okay, after I take human form, there are still some things I don't understand; it would be great if you could help me." You say with a tone full of longing.】

【"After I gained spiritual intelligence, I have actually always been rooted here and have never left; I really want to see what it's like outside."】

Sigh.

Can't carry this.

The me in this life is too stupid.

Wang Qinghe remembers that she can artificially influence the series of operations of her past life through her consciousness, but the problem is... sometimes the consciousness of the past life is too strong and will not be under her control.

This time, she was backlashed again.

【Gu Jiangming stood guard here for a night and took away the dew from your leaves that can be used to heal meridian internal injuries.】

【You have obtained Buhei Grass dew.】

【As he leaves, he senses the other's fear and worry, and decides to set up a simple array to protect her safety.】

At the same time.

Liu Moran is also controlling her character to cultivate, but the difference is that her Inner Demon is constantly interfering with her.

【"Hahahaha—the man you peeked at this morning is the Senior Brother you like very much in your heart, right?"】

【"His appearance is indeed quite good; no wonder you like him."】

【"Shut up." Liu Moran snorts coldly; Gu Jiangming is the Reverse Scale in your heart, and you do not allow anyone to mention him, especially the Inner Demon before you using such a frivolous tone to desecrate him.】

【"Shut up?" The Inner Demon illusion suddenly appears in Liu Moran's heart, "You want to kill me, so why should I shut up?"】

Watching the screen, Liu Moran realizes that her thoughts have already been seen through by her Inner Demon.

【"You want to get rid of me to feel better, but there is you in me, and me in you; even if you are unhappy, it is extremely difficult for you to kill me, unless you truly don't want your own life anymore." She sneers and says: "However, everything you have experienced, I have experienced; I have even experienced more things than you."】

【"I can empathize with your emotions; you don't think I'm not clear about your thoughts and your worries, do you?"】

【As she speaks, she suddenly lets out a triumphant laugh.】

【"Yesterday was truly frightening, because you were very courageous at that time, but now, I have discovered a new flaw: you are reluctant to die. After all, as long as you die, your beloved will belong to someone else."】

【"You like him very much; unfortunately... you are too pitiful, too inferior, and too dark. You feel that you are not worthy of him, and you feel that everything you do is wrong and will only bring trouble to others."】

"But who told me to be so kind-hearted? Last night, I secretly helped you out."

"What exactly did you do?" you questioned angrily, "If you dare to lay a hand on him, I will not let you off."

"I just saw your weak and powerless performance, so I helped you give him a kiss," she said, seemingly with profound meaning: "And your luck is not bad; you could say you picked up a bargain."

You keenly noticed that there was more to her words than met the ear, but your Inner Demon did not want to clarify the matter, instead speaking again in a seductive tone.

"My original self, you still haven't recognized the truth of this world."

"That is, the strong win everything, and the losers lose everything. No matter what kind of means, no matter what kind of ability, only the winner, only the strong, can have sufficient right to speak and dictate all the rules."

"Anything, as long as one has enough ability, can be snatched away."

"Just like your body; as long as one day I completely tower above you, then it will belong to me," she said with a playful tone: "And then? Everything in your life will belong to me, including your man."

This time, your heart no longer welled up with that deep sense of powerlessness, but rather a heart full of anger; you absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen right before your eyes.

Suddenly, the Inner Demon illusion before your eyes dissipated; she just whispered in your heart: "He has returned."

"He didn't come back all night yesterday; you were about to lose your soul, weren't you?"

"Don't force yourself to stay calm; I understand you better than anyone."

"I understand your guilty conscience."

Liu Moran gritted her teeth.

For some reason, the Inner Demon that appeared this time was countless times stronger than the Inner Demon she had previously known; back then, she had personally beheaded her own Inner Demon.

The Inner Demon that appeared now seemed to be a monster combined from all the negative emotions she had accumulated over thousands of years; her strength far exceeded Liu Moran's imagination.

In other words, is the current self able to influence the characters in the scene?

Including the transmission and resonance of emotions, will that also be affected?

Gu Jiangming walked in front of you and said with a hint of apology: "Last night, I went to find a way to heal your injuries. Look, this is the dew of the Buhei Grass; I heard that drinking this can alleviate pain."

"Not bad stuff," your Inner Demon sighed in your heart: "To think it is actually the dew produced by a Buhei Grass with three thousand years of cultivation, just before it is about to take human form."

"I originally wanted to make your body even weaker so that I could steal your life, but I didn't expect your little lover to spoil the good deed."

"You talk like that, aren't you afraid I'll be on guard against you?" you retorted in your heart.

"Heh, you have always been on guard against me. My thoughts, you know; your thoughts, I also know. Since we both know, why must we hide them?"

You took the dew handed over by Gu Jiangming.

You drank it all in one gulp and felt the damaged meridians gradually begin to improve.

Gu Jiangming saw that your complexion had improved and finally set his heart at ease; he Enter the Room and suddenly saw a small Cotton Jacket meticulously knitted on the table.

Liu Moran's pretty face flushed slightly.

You rushed into the room, snatched the Cotton Jacket, and placed it behind your back.

That was something you had prepared for a future child, because you had already made up your mind to spend a lifetime with him.

Looking at the information popping up on the screen.

Gu Jiangming was also stunned.

The little junior sister is too pure.

This contrast is a bit cute to the point of fainting.

She not only has that straightforward temperament, but I didn't expect her to have such delicate thoughts.

In this kind of world, to be able to meet such a junior sister, it's too divine; suddenly Gu Jiangming felt a bit smitten with this green, budding romance.

Most importantly, in this life, his dream should be Great Harmony of Heaven and Earth, equality for all living beings, and then Liu Moran actually risked her life to do it for his ideal.

Previously, there wasn't a very deep impression, but now, connecting the past and the future, Gu Jiangming suddenly felt that it wasn't that he met this junior sister, but that it was the junior sister's luck, and his, Gu Jiangming's, good luck, that he bumped into such a junior sister who was good to him.

The name Liu Moran, Gu Jiangming has remembered it.

Oh no, there are a few too many good women he's bumped into.

Seek Immortality?

Seek a Wife!

Is he choosing a concubine here?!

Gu Jiangming is numb now.

The most dizzying thing is that Liu Moran has also had her soul scattered; even if he gained another wife, she is already a dead person.

If it continues to develop and they really fall in love, this will instead become another regret in his heart.

The problem is, Gu Jiangming does indeed feel a bit captivated by the little junior sister now.

Is there any way to keep the little junior sister from dying while also maintaining the order of Heaven and Earth?

Extremely bad.

How has he already started thinking about this matter?
