Chapter 139: You Really Know How to Pick Your Timing!!!
No.
A Shura field is not scary.
But a Shura field that also brings a son along, that, damn it, is the scariest thing!
And this son is strong enough.
How is one supposed to break this situation?!
Gu Jiangming's current mood is hard to describe; he only knows that this time he has been set up quite miserably, perhaps even the worst time yet.
Jiu Jiu's gaze is like a torch, fixing her sight on the man standing before her with a sword on his back, hovering at the zenith of the firmament, only feeling that he possesses an indescribably noble aura.
Gu Nianmo merely glances at him lightly.
"Strange, Jingwei actually has a fated connection with my father as well." Gu Nianmo murmurs to himself in a low voice for a moment, while the old Dragon King in the South Sea holds his breath and lunges out of the water.
With Jingwei showing up at his doorstep, the old Dragon King feels it is already unreasonable, simply stirring up trouble out of thin air, and now another member of the Human Race has come unexpectedly; it is truly infuriating.
Could it be that the Nanhai Longgong has so little face that any character can come and go as they please?
Gu Jiangming also knows that Gu Nianmo is his own cub, but at this moment, there is an unspeakable awkwardness.
Because Gu Nianmo's appearance is extremely similar to his; with the two standing together, one can tell at a glance the blood connection between them.
Gu Nianmo examines him closely, silent for a long while, seemingly observing something, appearing somewhat surprised and puzzled, but in the end, only a rare smile remains on his face.
The old Dragon King looks at the other party in astonishment.
Gu Nianmo narrows his eyes slightly and reaches out to rest his hand on the hilt of the sword on his back.
"I believe I have met the senior a few times." Gu Nianmo bows with cupped hands and says very politely; in terms of etiquette, he is indeed thorough.
"He is my father." Gu Nianmo says with a slightly solemn expression: "I wish to see him."
"That is indeed the case." The old Dragon King muses: "Does this have any connection to the Human Emperor?"
One look is enough, and upon looking again, the old Dragon King's expression grows slightly heavy, and he returns the salute: "I did not expect the Human Emperor to visit in person; please forgive my lack of proper hospitality."
The moment the words "returned from the dead" are spoken, Jiu Jiu's gaze instantly locks onto Gu Jiangming.
Once these words are out.
"Who are you?" The old Dragon King strokes his beard and says with narrowed eyes: "You look somewhat familiar."
The old Dragon King is suddenly amazed; this sounds like a completely unheard-of fantasy, and for a member of the Human Race from that era to still be alive today is no easy feat, let alone the fact that the man had long since passed away.
Gu Nianmo is likewise completely baffled, for he looked up at the firmament and saw only the scattered starlight, then sensed a causality of someone returning from the dead appearing at his brow, which meant his father, who should have passed away, had been resurrected.
Met a few times?
A dragon's lifespan is too long; in truth, they cannot remember things most of the time, but outstanding heroes can still leave some impression.
"Whether he returned from the dead or not is none of my concern; he has a fated connection with me." Jiu Jiu says coldly: "I have some words I wish to say to him, move aside."
Just how many times... has he returned from the dead?
The old Dragon King gasps; such a thing as returning from the dead sounds profound and mysterious, and he has never seen such a thing, but he cannot help but believe the words spoken by the dignified Human Emperor.
Gu Jiangming's expression is awkward.
"Father, you really have returned from the dead." The excitement in Gu Nianmo's heart is beyond words, "Mother passed away a thousand years ago; I never thought that in my later years, I would still be able to encounter you, Father."
As he speaks, the old Dragon King looks at the Second Imperial Princess beside him, who also nods, and the next moment, Gu Jiangming's figure appears before everyone.
Her Highness the Second Imperial Princess, Long Yin, also recalls exactly who this man is; however, she never imagined that such a figure would grace the small Nanhai Longgong with his presence.
"There is no need for idle chatter." Gu Nianmo stands with his hands behind his back and asks: "I heard the Dragon King invited a guest; is this true?"
The old Dragon King's sharp gaze fixes on Jiu Jiu, "Do you not know who he is? A mere Jingwei, how dare you be so presumptuous?"
"What he is to others has nothing to do with me; who I am is more important than who he is. Gu Jiangming has a fated connection with me, so what problem is there with me wanting to obtain him?" Jiu Jiu says again: "And I am not afraid of a battle with him."
"You truly wish to be my enemy?!" Gu Nianmo's voice is icy, "My sword has never been blunt."
Jiu Jiu draws her sword as well.
Her thoughts are of Gu Jiangming, and a daughter named Gu Mingyue; as it turns out, that Reincarnation was indeed changed, but not entirely.
For instance, her daughter had ultimately disappeared.
The reason was simply because she did not have a deeper development of feelings with Gu Jiangming, and for Jiu Jiu, this matter is a heartbreak that sinks to the bottom of the sea.
Gu Nianmo is very strong.
But for her own sake, and for Gu Mingyue's sake, Jiu Jiu must fight!
Not fighting means watching Gu Nianmo take Gu Jiangming away to go find the reincarnation of his mother.
Mainly, Jiu Jiu does not dare to gamble that Gu Nianmo has already become transcendent and will not be concerned with such worldly affairs; after all, Gu Nianmo came looking for him personally, so who can say for sure whether he will go find his mother's reincarnation next and try to play matchmaker again.
And if one does not have this thought, what does it matter if one dies?
Gu Jiangming definitely has that bit of affection for Jiu Jiu; if he did not like her, he would not have chosen to take the initiative to approach Jiu Jiu during the first Reincarnation Simulation.
In his heart, he does not wish for Jiu Jiu and Gu Nianmo to clash, so he immediately shouts, "Everyone, stop."
Gu Nianmo's gaze focuses, and he asks indifferently: "Father, does this woman really have a fated connection with you?"
Gu Jiangming has no room to refuse and meets Gu Nianmo's gaze head-on, "There is indeed a fated connection; I will not deny this matter."
Jiu Jiu's gaze softens instantly; she had always felt that Gu Jiangming had no feelings for her, and now that she has received this definitive answer, she feels that even if she were to die at this very moment, it would be worth it.
Gu Nianmo sighs faintly, "Father, besides her, you must also have a fated connection with the Dragon Race, right?"
Gu Jiangming is somewhat surprised; Long Xi was the one who told him this, so how does this kid know?
"However... no matter what, I must intervene in this meddlesome affair." Gu Nianmo adds: "After all, Father, you are the only romantic connection my mother ever had; she once said to me that she hoped to be with you, Father, for all eternity."
"This is my mother's obsession, and I cannot just leave it be."
"Even if they have a fated connection with you, I must help you sever these ties of affection."
As the words fall, an astonishing aura immediately erupts from Gu Nianmo, and his Ascension Realm cultivation manifests; this is far more powerful than any deity granted a divine office by Heaven and Earth.
Moreover, Gu Nianmo possesses a massive amount of Merit.
Gu Jiangming knows that a yandere is terrifying, but he never expected that the son of a yandere would be equally terrifying.
The Dragon King's voice was cold enough to pierce the bone, and he spoke with dissatisfaction: "It is one thing for you to cause trouble for Jingwei, but to provoke my daughter as well—do you truly think my Nanhai Longgong is yours to bully at will?"
Gu Jiangming was not clear on exactly what level Gu Nianmo's strength had reached, but Gu Jiangming knew that for a boss continuously raised within the 【Simulation】, one who even carried a protagonist template like Gu Nianmo, even if the Dragon King were to strike, it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage.
"I won't bully you; just come at me all together."
Gu Nianmo held his breath and focused.
The sword intent on his body condensed at high speed, and that unreserved killing intent paused upon everyone present.
And clearly, Gu Nianmo's strength and cultivation were unquestionably formidable.
Encountering this situation, Gu Jiangming truly felt like vomiting blood.
There was only one way to resolve the situation now.
That was—【I want to return to the past!】
To end the farce before him, Gu Jiangming had no other choice; this was the only path available: return to the timeline of Liu Monian, utilize the advantage of information, and resolve certain avoidable matters in advance, only then could such a situation be adjusted back.
When Gu Jiangming shouted that cry in his heart—【I want to return to the past】.
Heaven and Earth plunged into darkness.
Gu Jiangming woke up again, his mind groggy, and then he immediately discovered that he was already lying on a warm bed, while Liu Nianmo beside him was wearing a veil, her delicate face still carrying a trace of confusion.
The next second, Gu Jiangming realized his hand was resting in a place it shouldn't be.
【This is your bridal night with Liu Moran, and also the day you pledged your lives to each other.】
You really are something, 【Mie Changsheng】, you truly know how to pick your timing!!!
