Chapter 82: Eating the Softest Rice, Being the Hardest Man

Gu Jiangming had thought of this scene a long time ago.

But he never imagined this scene could come so quickly.

All things considered, he hadn't even been transmigrated for many days, yet this wife of Gu Jiangming's, whom he knew online through Reincarnation Deduction, had already hunted him down.

Long Xi had a link between god and Believer, so she could know his location.

Why can you do it too?!

Gu Jiangming had thought he could hide for a while, but he didn't expect the speed at which the other party caught him to be so swift.

At this moment, Gu Jiangming felt nothing but despair.

Reincarnation is reincarnation, reality is reality.

In reincarnation, she is sweet, but who knows what Jiu Jiu is like in reality?

Don't you know the principle that the sweeter a sweet girl is, the harder she stabs?

And looking at her appearance, it was clear she had come with ill intent.

Not dying in reincarnation, but dying at the hands of one's own wife—this way of dying is just too abstract.

What should he do now?

The road ahead is simply pitch black! He cannot see a glimmer of light!

Watching Jiu Jiu's figure approaching step by step, Gu Jiangming subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

He saw her lift one hand in the air, and as if there were a suction force, the Tingshui Pavilion sword that had pierced into the wooden pillar landed in her hand.

At this moment, Jiu Jiu was not only walking over but also observing the aura on Gu Jiangming; it was weak, truly very weak.

But Jiu Jiu could be certain that the Gu Jiangming before her was the very same Gu Jiangming from hundreds of years ago, not having changed even a bit.

The man she loved to the bone, the man who haunted her dreams.

Even if he were burned to ashes, Jiu Jiu would still recognize him.

"After Mount Shu, were you dead or alive?" Jiu Jiu's tone grew colder and colder, one sentence for every step.

Facing Jiu Jiu with such imposing pressure, Gu Jiangming could only keep retreating.

But

In the Reincarnation Deduction, he had indeed died; this point could not be faked, but the fact that his true self was alive was something Gu Jiangming couldn't quite explain.

Yet, facing such pressure, Gu Jiangming gritted his teeth and said, "After Mount Shu, I died."

Jiu Jiu's footsteps stopped.

【He is not lying to you.】

The 【Mie Changsheng】 in Jiu Jiu's mind popped up this line of text, and the hostility on her face receded slightly.

"Then why didn't you come to find me?" Jiu Jiu stared ahead and pressed him again.

"Do you think I have the ability?" Gu Jiangming could only smile bitterly, "Even if I wanted to find you, I would first have to know your location."

【This sentence is also true.】

【The aura on Gu Jiangming is only at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Period; he neither knows your location nor has the means to travel long distances to find you immediately.】

And as Gu Jiangming retreated, his back was already against the wall; there was nowhere left to retreat.

Following a voice that sounded in Gu Jiangming's mind.

He knew something bad was about to happen.

This "Born with an Unyielding Backbone" trait was acting up again, damn it.

At this moment, a surge of courage kept welling up from the depths of Gu Jiangming's heart.

Gu Jiangming steeled his heart; since it had come to this, he might as well fight her.

Let's see who is more unreasonable.

"Then since you knew my location, why couldn't you come find me sooner?" Gu Jiangming raised his head, his gaze locked firmly on Jiu Jiu's face.

We must seize the initiative and rebel against our superior!

Although Gu Jiangming had thought this in his heart, he still had some timidity, but he didn't expect the bonus from "Born with an Unyielding Backbone" to help him out so fiercely, causing him to blurt out his inner thoughts.

Mie Changsheng, oh Mie Changsheng, I originally thought you only wanted to make me Seek Death in reincarnation to let me transcend early, but I didn't expect your intentions to be so sinister.

You actually want me to Seek Death in reality.

I have never seen 【Born with an Unyielding Backbone】 have any positive effect!

At this time, Long Xi suddenly appeared in front of Gu Jiangming, and she extended a finger to push away the tip of Jiu Jiu's sword, "What are you doing?"

"I won't allow you to bully him," Long Xi said, blocking in front of Gu Jiangming.

Jiu Jiu arched her brows and said coldly, "Who are you to him? I heard them say you are also his wife?"

"That's right, I am his wife, who are you?" Long Xi could smell the scent on the other party; there was an aura of a Jingwei.

Sure enough, there were still gods alive, and one had even come to snatch her man.

To be so blatant in her robbery, it really makes one angry.

Long Xi's words caught Jiu Jiu off guard; she never imagined that this dragon could be so shameless to such a degree.

Jiu Jiu had already given her a way out; as long as she didn't admit it, she was willing to reconcile and let bygones be bygones.

And yet?

She had instead pushed her luck to this extent.

"You—" Jiu Jiu's silver hair moved without wind, slowly floating in the air; the Demon Power on her body was already impatient to devour the shameless evil dragon before her.

Seeing her like this, Long Xi, without hesitation, leaned against Gu Jiangming's face and kissed him right in front of her; with this mouthful of Spirit Qi entering her belly, the Spirit Qi in her body was clearly fully restored.

Jiu Jiu walked up to Long Xi, and the tense atmosphere accumulated once again within the yamen, with the possibility of a volcanic eruption at any moment.

The sparks colliding in their gazes showed they wished to get rid of the other as quickly as possible.

For Jiu Jiu, this was a battle for her husband; there was no turning back.

For Long Xi, this was the struggle of her only Believer, and she had no way to retreat.

Seeing the pupils in Jiu Jiu's eyes turn crimson, Gu Jiangming immediately knew that she was about to reveal her Demon Form and fight Long Xi to the death.

What kind of sin have I committed!

Other people's "shura fields" are life-threatening, but mine is not only life-threatening; if I had the power, I fear it would shatter the entire Heaven and Earth.

Never mind triggering the Proud Bone Innate or not, the current Gu Jiangming only wants to explain this matter clearly.

As for what kind of relationship he and Long Xi actually have, Gu Jiangming believes he still has room to explain.

The main thing is that he cannot let Jiu Jiu and Long Xi fight here; with the aftermath of their battle, could the bystanders watching the show still manage to keep their lives?

The entire government office could be scattered like ash.

And he would likely become a toy in their struggle; although he wouldn't die, the outcome would certainly not be good.

Gu Jiangming walked to the center of the two, one hand pulling Jiu Jiu's fair wrist that was holding the sword, and the other hand pinching Long Xi's slender, jade-like hand that was about to cast a spell.

"If you want to argue, go outside and argue."

"If you have something to say, talk about it at home; what is the meaning of arguing here?"

"If you are impatient with me, just kill me with one sword; is there any need for so much nonsense?"

This is the toughest thing this brother has said in his entire life.

Eating the softest rice, being the toughest man.

A mere Qi Refining Stage, what does it matter when facing a Great Demon, when facing a god?

A real man should face such a shura field with this kind of attitude that despises Heaven and Earth and looks down upon the world.

Gu Jiangming in a desperate situation is just this tough.

"You are still protecting her for me here?" Jiu Jiu's voice was even a bit hoarse, "Gu Jiangming, do you know how I have spent these years?"

"I am not protecting her." Gu Jiangming looked at Jiu Jiu, "There are some reasons for this; you need to calm down and listen to my explanation."

"She just kissed you like that in front of me; is this your explanation?"

"Do you take me for someone without true fire?" Jiu Jiu's voice became increasingly low.

I really owe you.

Gu Jiangming took a deep breath, lowered his head, and leaned in to kiss her; when Jiu Jiu saw Gu Jiangming's action, she was originally so displeased that she wanted to push him away, but in the end, she couldn't bear to, only accepting it with a slightly reddened face.

At this moment, from Gu Jiangming's chest, that mouthful of Spirit Qi flowed through, immediately restoring the somewhat depleted Demon Power within Jiu Jiu's body.

"This is my explanation." Gu Jiangming looked at Jiu Jiu; he didn't want to say anything more.

Gu Jiangming did not believe that with Jiu Jiu's intelligence, she couldn't think of the reason behind it.

It was just that Gu Jiangming did not expect that just as he had finished soothing the furious Jiu Jiu, Long Xi on the other side immediately sensed that the thing she cherished had been so ruthlessly snatched away by someone else.

Her eye sockets instantly turned red, and she threw herself into Gu Jiangming's arms, "You have never kissed me like that; it's unfair, this is unfair."

"Every time, it was me who took the initiative to kiss."

Watching the increasingly violent Spirit Qi on Long Xi's body, everyone in the government office felt a sense of difficulty in breathing.

Gu Jiangming was in despair.

What on earth is it that has caused him to fall into this damned situation?

It's endless, isn't it?

The toughness that had just risen earlier had already vanished into thin air; this was simply a dead end, a deadlock.

Satisfy one, and the other will be dissatisfied.

Satisfy the other, and the one left out will be unhappy.

But at this moment, the most terrifying thing is... he thought of a third person, which is Wang Qinghe, who has had a romantic connection with him for two consecutive lifetimes.

Fortunately, she has no memories of her past life, otherwise, his life would be over.

Gu Jiangming truly had no other way; he could only lower his head to coax Long Xi, gently pressing against Long Xi's lips; as long as he let Long Xi feel this respect, with her childlike temperament, perhaps she wouldn't make a scene anymore.

To protect the lives of all the ordinary people present, I have truly racked my brains.

But who could have expected that Long Xi would directly reach out and pull Gu Jiangming's clothes down; Gu Jiangming, who had originally intended to just touch lightly and pull away, was forcibly held by the head by Long Xi to demand a kiss.

She was completely doing it on purpose.

She was deliberately competing with Jiu Jiu like this.

Because Long Xi felt the aura of a god on Jiu Jiu, and she did not want to watch her own things be taken away by Jiu Jiu.

Absolutely not allowed.

Such an explosive scene left the other onlookers in the government office stunned; from the first step Gu Jiangming took when he entered, to now, every second of the scene was an extreme enjoyment for gossip-mongers like them.

It is impossible to describe how outrageous what Gu Jiangming did was; that this person can still walk on the road alive is purely defying the heavens.

However, the object at the best angle was not someone else, but Jiu Jiu.

That monstrous resentment was transmitted directly from Jiu Jiu's body.

She never imagined that this damned evil dragon could use such despicable means to snatch a man.

And she did it on purpose right in front of Jiu Jiu.

Especially since her daughter Gu Mingyue was still watching behind her, watching with her own eyes as her father was snatched away in front of her.

Bitch!!!

Irrepressible jealousy made Jiu Jiu hang her head.

A voice of extreme longing slowly sounded in her heart.

I want to change the past.

I want to change the past.

I want to change the past!!!

I want to take back everything that belongs to me!!!

As long as the past was a perfect ending, then such a situation would not occur.

【Yes/No: Change save file?】

【Yes/No: Choose to change the past?】

【Please remember that this is the only chance in your life to change the past; you have one, and only one, chance to change everything that has already happened.】

【Since the decision has been made.】

【Then... Reincarnation begins—】

Gu Jiangming's vision went black.

How did the Reincarnation in this "Mie Changsheng" start automatically?

There's a bug, right?

I haven't even prepared my speedrun strategy yet!

No cliffhanger, added a bonus chapter.
