Chapter 160: Jiu Jiu

Liu Moxuan had never imagined that the next time she and Gu Jiangming met, it would be under such circumstances.

Especially when she saw Gu Jiangming change his appearance and refuse to acknowledge her, the words that filled Liu Moxuan's heart turned entirely into silence at this moment.

Yes, Liu Moxuan was extremely certain that the Gu Jiangming who had changed his appearance was her Senior Brother, her husband, Gu Jiangming.

Even if his face was different, even if his demeanor was vastly changed, that feeling from the depths of the soul could not be faked in the slightest!

What's more, in this current world, even if there were those who cared for the world, who would risk their own life to help someone they did not know?

【You have recognized Gu Jiangming's identity; Gu Jiangming's clumsy concealment did not serve its intended purpose.】

【It is just that Gu Jiangming, who has fallen deeply into the demonic path, seems to have some hesitation in his heart; he does not want to acknowledge you.】

And the words on the Seek Immortality Interface further highlighted that Liu Moxuan's thoughts were not wrong.

At this moment, Liu Moxuan looked at the words "fallen into the demonic path" on the Seek Immortality panel, standing alone at the gate of Niankong Villa, silent for a long time.

As for Gu Jiangming, he could no longer spare a thought for Liu Moxuan.

The moment the Seek Immortality interface displayed that he was being targeted by someone else, Gu Jiangming's heart was already filled with extreme vigilance.

However, the battle at Niankong Villa was not without its toll on Gu Jiangming; his strength was great, but among those Demon Race and Human Race who dared to scheme against the Qilin Divine Child, which one was weak?

Gu Jiangming was very strong after falling into the demonic path, but no matter how strong, he was ultimately just one person against the world!

【You keenly perceive a pair of eyes watching you from the shadows; you transform into demonic light and quickly relocate.】

【You do not know who the other party is, nor do you know what purpose they hold.】

【In the battle at Niankong Villa, your Mana was greatly depleted, and your body sustained nearly a hundred wounds of varying sizes.】

【If you were at your peak, you would consider yourself unafraid of anyone in the world, but you are not that now.】

【You have nowhere to run; your injuries worsen further, and you are captured by Jiu Jiu, who was waiting in the shadows!】

Gu Jiangming looked at the entries constantly refreshing on his Seek Immortality panel, and he felt quite unwell.

He had thought about whether there were strong members of the Qilin clan waiting near Niankong Villa, but Gu Jiangming had never imagined that the one waiting in the shadows was not some hunter playing the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, but Jiu Jiu?

"Didn't Jiu Jiu go to Penglai to look for the Black Tortoise?"

In reality, without the prompt from Seek Immortality, just by smelling the body scent of the person beside him, Gu Jiangming had already guessed who it was.

It was just that what puzzled Gu Jiangming was, hadn't Jiu Jiu left to go to Penglai to find the Black Tortoise?

As for why Jiu Jiu appeared outside Niankong Villa, there was no other reason; after retrieving the Black Tortoise, Jiu Jiu's strength had also improved once again.

【Your strength has advanced further, but there is always a void in your heart.】

【You think of your daughter whom you have never met; you want to find him, to retrieve your own daughter.】

【It is just that you do not know Gu Jiangming's whereabouts; feeling bored, you chose to head to Niankong Villa.】

【You know that the master of Niankong Villa, Liu Moxuan, is also searching for Gu Jiangming's whereabouts; you hold deep prejudice against the master of Niankong Villa, Liu Moxuan, feeling that she snatched away your daughter's father.】

【Now that your strength has advanced further, you head to Niankong Villa to find Gu Jiangming, and also to find Liu Moxuan.】

【Outside Niankong Villa, you see a strong individual who has fallen into the demonic path; in the depths of your soul, you seem to perceive that this wounded powerhouse before you is the Gu Jiangming you have been unable to find.】

【Looking at the wounded Gu Jiangming before you, you make a choice.】

【1: Turn a blind eye; this era is not the era where you and Gu Jiangming are fated, so you choose to turn a blind eye.】

【2: Stand by Gu Jiangming's side and fight alongside him; whether the person before you falls into the demonic path or becomes an immortal, you will accompany him for a lifetime.】

【3: Watch coldly from the sidelines, and after Gu Jiangming exhausts his strength, abduct him; regardless of whether it is the era where you are fated with him, the person you have set your sights on will be yours in the future, and will be yours now!】

When Jiu Jiu looked at the three options on the Seek Immortality panel, she hesitated for exactly one ten-thousandth of a breath.

After one ten-thousandth of a breath, Jiu Jiu chose the third path without looking back.

The first option had no reference value for Jiu Jiu at all; she did not care whether this era was the era where she was fated with him; she only knew that a woman who did nothing was destined to lose everything.

As for the second choice, that was the reason for Jiu Jiu's slight hesitation.

If it were a different time, Jiu Jiu would certainly have chosen to stand by Gu Jiangming's side without hesitation, whether Gu Jiangming became an immortal or a demon.

But this time specifically would not do!

Helping Gu Jiangming protect his other woman...

Jiu Jiu felt her brain was still normal; unless Gu Jiangming truly faced a life-or-death crisis, she would absolutely, absolutely not help Gu Jiangming protect his other woman, especially since that woman had snatched away her daughter's father!

Even though Gu Jiangming on the other side sensed something, how could the injured Gu Jiangming escape the pursuit of a determined Jiu Jiu?

What bad intentions could Jiu Jiu have? She just wanted her daughter to be born smoothly!

"I..."

Gu Jiangming only felt everything go black before his eyes; he hadn't even had time to say anything when, in the next instant, his consciousness faded into a coma.

And when Gu Jiangming woke up again, he discovered that his Mana was completely sealed, and before him was Jiu Jiu, who was gritting her teeth and interacting crazily with him.

For Jiu Jiu, since she had chosen the third path, she naturally would not have the slightest hesitation.

When Gu Jiangming looked at Jiu Jiu, who was stubborn yet carried a hint of resentment, he ultimately fell silent, silently accepting the interaction with Jiu Jiu.

Having experienced the Shushan Era with Jiu Jiu, Gu Jiangming naturally understood her temperament.

Coupled with the constant appearance of new romantic entanglements around him, Jiu Jiu likely felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

Gu Jiangming was thus imprisoned by Jiu Jiu in an unnamed villa; after several days of venting, Jiu Jiu seemed to slowly return to her former self, but she still did not undo the seal on Gu Jiangming.

Since Gu Jiangming had fallen into her hands now, Jiu Jiu naturally had to ensure her daughter was born smoothly.

Furthermore, Jiu Jiu did indeed have anger in her heart toward Gu Jiangming, which was the reason for her previous crazy interaction.

After three months of crazy interaction, Jiu Jiu also slowly began to feel it—she felt a new life beginning to be born in her womb.

Gu Jiangming also saw through Seek Immortality that the embryo in Jiu Jiu's belly actually possessed golden quality.

If it were before, Gu Jiangming would probably be overjoyed, but now, looking at the life in Jiu Jiu's womb, Gu Jiangming felt a splitting headache.
