Chapter 145

Long Xi's intervention.

For Gu Jiangming, this was quite unexpected, because in theory, this was Gu Jiangming's own karma, and there was no need for Long Xi to get involved.

By intervening, Long Xi actually took on a disaster for Gu Jiangming; from another perspective, this action brought no benefit to Long Xi at all.

The only true beneficiary was Gu Jiangming himself.

However, by taking this action, Long Xi placed herself directly on the same side as Gu Jiangming.

This gave Gu Jiangming a different feeling.

If the feeling Gu Jiangming had when Long Xi previously saved his life was merely gratitude, the nature of what Long Xi did now was different.

It was the kind of thing that easily stirs affection.

In fact, from beginning to end, Gu Jiangming never viewed Long Xi as his wife; from his perspective, his understanding of Long Xi was multifaceted.

She was a savior who had saved his life, a pure and cute dragon girl, and also a faith he held at a certain stage.

After all, three years is a long time for humans, and there are too many variables; furthermore, Liu Moran possesses two souls in one body. In the last reincarnation simulation, the initiative was in Liu Moran's hands. This time, there are too many variables, and if the other Liu Moran takes the initiative, heaven knows how the plot will unfold.

If Long Xi hadn't mentioned that in one lifetime she had a child with Gu Jiangming named Long Jiuyou, Gu Jiangming would have had no thoughts about her at all, other than simply thinking she was very beautiful.

Wang Qinghe was full of joy, thinking Gu Jiangming would stay behind to protect her while she took human form, but she did not expect to receive such a reply.

"Are you going to stay here and protect her for three years?" Long Xi paused and asked; she had a way to help Wang Qinghe take human form ahead of schedule.

However, she preferred that Gu Jiangming stay here to protect Wang Qinghe for three years, as this would give her three years to constantly interact with Gu Jiangming and see if there was any possibility of further deepening their relationship.

But fortunately, Gu Jiangming spoke up in time, which quickly settled her mind.

"She still needs some time before she can take human form," Long Xi said, glancing at Wang Qinghe's form, "at least three more years."

This caused a wave of inexplicable anger in her heart.

The moment Wang Qinghe was scrutinized by Long Xi, she was very flustered, as she didn't know what Long Xi meant.

"This spirit creature has already gained intelligence and should not be taken lightly," Gu Jiangming said earnestly, "It is not easy for it to cultivate; to ruin its cultivation like this would invite retribution."

It wasn't that Gu Jiangming was unwilling to stay here to protect Wang Qinghe for three years; he was mainly worried that he wouldn't be able to find Liu Moran within those three years, which would be a huge problem.

"Many thanks to Miss Long for your help," Gu Jiangming said after a moment of contemplation.

Long Xi was not a person skilled in calculation, but for some reason, she felt countless thoughts flooding her mind at this moment.

And among these options, the path of being a wife was the only one missing.

At this point, Wang Qinghe revealed her intelligence and said, "Then thank you, Miss."

Long Xi was somewhat flattered; in her view, this was just a small matter, and she hadn't expected Gu Jiangming to be so serious. Soon, her gaze rested on the "Unregret Grass."

Finding Liu Moran as soon as possible and preventing her emotions from collapsing was also a priority for Gu Jiangming.

"I have urgent matters to attend to," Gu Jiangming said after a moment of hesitation, "Can you protect her for me for three years? In the future, I will surely repay Miss Long."

Long Xi shook her head and said, "I don't have such thoughts; I just saw this kind of spirit creature about to take human form for the first time."

If nothing else, Gu Jiangming is reliable in this regard; this "wife-protecting" attribute is the most precious quality.

Long Xi was smiling on the surface, but inside she was also somewhat devastated; she had calculated everything, but she hadn't counted on Gu Jiangming making this choice.

Although three years is just the blink of an eye for a dragon, the problem is, what is the point of her protecting someone she has no connection with for three years?

She just wanted to spend three years with Gu Jiangming.

"It doesn't have to be that troublesome," Long Xi decided not to hold back anymore, "I have a spiritual dew that can help her take human form early."

Hiding things is only worth it if there's a benefit; if there's no benefit, there's no need to hide it. However, taking out this spiritual dew was a loss for Long Xi.

But if she could act together with Gu Jiangming, this loss was still within an acceptable range.

Gu Jiangming was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected Long Xi to have such a treasure.

As expected of someone from the Dragon Clan; with her around, many things are very convenient to solve.

And Long Xi didn't waste her breath proving how valuable this spiritual dew was; that wasn't her intention.

Her intention was purely to be a couple with Gu Jiangming.

As Long Xi waved her hand, the ice-like liquid fell onto the roots of the Unregret Grass, and a cloud of mist was born the next second.

Wang Qinghe gradually took human form, and her graceful figure slowly appeared within Gu Jiangming's line of sight.

When she realized she had taken human form, she immediately covered her chest with both hands, blushed, and shouted loudly, "Don't look—"

Long Xi raised her hand to cover Gu Jiangming's eyes; she also didn't want Gu Jiangming to see another woman's body.

It wasn't that Wang Qinghe truly didn't want Gu Jiangming to look, but rather a reflexive shyness. After seeing Long Xi's actions, this shyness not only disappeared but even turned into a sense of grievance.

Many times, people are just that strange.

If you look, she will feel shy; if you don't look, she will feel wronged, especially if someone is deliberately blocking the view, then the emotional shift becomes even more intense.

Gu Jiangming suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders was incredibly heavy; if he really brought Long Xi and Wang Qinghe along on this journey, he feared it would be full of difficulties.

And on the other side of the map.

The distance between Liu Moran and Jiujiu was getting closer and closer. For Jiujiu, the hatred of having her husband stolen was irreconcilable, especially since the other woman's son had personally come to her, causing her to lose all face.

Such a past, such a reincarnation—she, Jiujiu, would never accept it; she must make that woman named Liu Moran pay!

Furthermore, this was also Jiujiu's body from a previous life; even if it died, there was still the main body in the future.

It's just that in the last reincarnation simulation, her previous life didn't die, which is why it manifested all the way into reality and ended up replacing her main body.

She, Jiujiu, must get this back.

In this way, once this battle of the previous life is fought, there will be no need for it to extend into future matters.

【You are constantly searching for a woman named Liu Moran; for some reason, you believe that there is an irreconcilable conflict between you and her.】

【Only by finding her and forcing her to bow to you, or even dying by your hand, can you achieve peace of mind.】

【However, what you do not know is that in this battle of long-cherished wishes, who is the prey and who is the hunter is yet to be determined.】

【Remember not to let hatred blind your eyes.】

Seeing this line, Jiujiu sneered: "The consequence of not fighting or grabbing is being fought and grabbed."

"What I am looking for is my face, and what I want back is my daughter."

"All that talk about not letting hatred blind one's eyes."

"Those are all such pedantic words."

"I, Jiu Jiu, have never cared for such things; I only seek to live freely and unrestrainedly."
