Chapter 90: Let's See Who Ends Up Losing Out!

Gu Jiangming rested his hands behind his head.

He briefly organized the information he had on hand.

A man can be unserious at times, but he cannot be unserious all the time.

Although Gu Jiangming could not achieve the "saint" persona he had crafted for himself within the Reincarnation Simulation, this did not mean he lacked the heart to aspire to it.

And Gu Jiangming's greatest advantage right now was, in fact, the information brought by 【Mie Changsheng】.

First, it could be confirmed that the period of Northern Wei's rule must have been a low-martial era, and one far worse than the state of the current world—a very chaotic time.

At the very least, the Dajing Dynasty in the current world, through the Imperial City Division, had basically maintained order on the surface, and the state of public security was far superior to that of Northern Wei.

Moreover, the main storyline of Gu Jiangming's reincarnation at the time had unfolded from his personal perspective, mostly focusing on the big picture, with little content regarding details.

Now, Gu Jiangming had many more details in his hands, and he could even follow the trend to dig deep into many matters.

The Jingzhao Du Clan was a prominent family rooted in the capital.

And it could be basically confirmed that the perpetrators were demons.

But there was one more piece of information that Gu Jiangming had to pay attention to: even demons did not actually dare to act unscrupulously within the capital.

This proved that in the capital of the Northern Wei state, there must have been some power capable of stopping demons; for demons to strike here was a thankless endeavor.

Furthermore, Northern Wei was still the orthodox Imperial Court ruling the world on the surface; if such a major case of a clan being wiped out by demons could occur in Jingshi, then Northern Wei would have long since fallen.

Then, wasn't the conclusion to be drawn next that the Northern Wei Imperial Court had done it intentionally?

Previously, in the Reincarnation Simulation, Gu Jiangming had mainly followed the route of developing Mount Shu and had not paid too much attention to matters like the succession of imperial power.

But now, after checking the information in the simulation again, it actually mentioned that when facing overwhelming public opinion, Northern Wei had invited quite a few cultivators to maintain the situation.

This also proved that the Northern Wei court must have known about the existence of cultivators and demons.

The Six Fan Sect investigating the case?

This was a headless case.

If he investigated to the end, he was afraid he would end up investigating his own head.

The Jingzhao Du Clan supported the Northern Wei Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince was not liked by Tianming Di; this could also be considered a piece of information from the sidelines.

And through this point, Gu Jiangming could also determine that there seemed to be some kind of direct conflict between the Northern Wei Crown Prince and Tianming Di.

【You suspect that the Du Clan extermination case is related to the Northern Wei court.】

As for who wiped out the Du Clan, to Gu Jiangming, it was essentially unimportant; he wanted to know more about who Mount Shu had offended, or rather, who he himself had offended.

Thinking of this, 【Mie Changsheng】 in his mind suddenly displayed new information.

【Tonight, while you were fast asleep, Jiu Jiu secretly left this place to go and scout for news about the Du Clan's extermination.】

【Track/Don't track?】

He could actually observe such information?

Jiu Jiu's cultivation should be much deeper than his; could it be that returning to the corresponding plot line also caused one's cultivation to regress?

Gu Jiangming did not hesitate and chose to track.

【Based on the scene of the Du Clan's extermination, Jiu Jiu judged that someone was using the flesh and blood of martial artists to feed demons.】

【In this era where Spirit Qi is dissipating, the reason why man-eating monsters can quickly improve their cultivation is largely because human flesh and blood contain a certain amount of Spirit Qi.】

【After tasting such flesh and blood for the first time and experiencing that indescribable speed of improvement, most monsters will immerse themselves in this pleasure, thereby transforming into the form of demons.】

At this moment, Jiu Jiu walked into the room.

The Mie Changsheng in her mind was also in a state of activation.

【You intentionally made a sound to let Gu Jiangming know that you woke up tonight, and you told him some information.】

Gu Jiangming could basically confirm that she had no memories, only a very incomplete part, so in reality, he had to use some seductive methods to indirectly fill in some information for her.

And in fact, Guhuoniao do not really sleep at night.

Usually, this time is when Guhuoniao absorb energy.

In troubled times, the speed of a Guhuoniao's cultivation improvement is the fastest, because everywhere there are poor people about to die.

Soul Qi comes extremely quickly.

But the bloodline within Jiu Jiu was gradually awakening; she no longer needed this method to cultivate.

Gu Jiangming got up, feeling a bit awkward.

He had thought Jiu Jiu was giving up her room for Gu Jiangming to stay in.

He had not expected that while Jiu Jiu gave up this room, she would also be staying in it herself.

"I'll sleep on the floor," Gu Jiangming said quite straightforwardly; although he was quite reluctant, for this kind of thing, the necessary respect still had to be given.

In fact, Gu Jiangming had once tried to reason with Long Xi, but Long Xi never listened to what he said and insisted on sleeping in the same room.

However, sleeping in the same room was just sleeping in the same room; the relationship between Gu Jiangming and Long Xi was still very pure.

Because Gu Jiangming really did not bully idiots.

"No need." Seeing Gu Jiangming get up, Jiu Jiu straightened the bedding, "You just sleep on it."

"You're sleeping on the floor?" Gu Jiangming hesitated for a moment and said, "That's so embarrassing. I see this residence is quite large; it would be fine for me to just find another room."

"I'm not sleeping on the floor either," Jiu Jiu said honestly, "Sleeping on the floor is so uncomfortable; you just sleep on the bed."

She added another sentence, "I'm sleeping on the bed too."

"Ah?" Gu Jiangming had just gotten on the bed and his whole body was pressed against the wall behind him.

You're using this to tempt an old cadre, aren't you?

Which old cadre could withstand this!

No wonder the 【Mie Changsheng】 from before could pop up an interaction request; it turns out it was laying an ambush for the brother here.

A bad woman is truly insidious.

After all, Gu Jiangming's 【Mie Changsheng】 deduction just now had failed the interaction; if he tried again foolishly this time, wouldn't that just be waiting to lose face?

I have already 'hit the wall' once in the simulation; doing it again in reality is undoubtedly to Seek Death.

Jiu Jiu is on high alert, so I must act with extreme caution.

Right now, she might be testing my willpower.

I have already done this question before.

No matter what, I have to score a perfect mark for you to see.

"Get some rest early." Jiu Jiu looked at Gu Jiangming and said, "You came to Guanzhong to find your father, right? I will take you to find him when the time comes."

You are even going to snatch my main quest to do it yourself, aren't you?

What kind of violent breakthrough is this?

What else could Gu Jiangming say? He could only nod, "I came to Guanzhong precisely to find him."

"And don't you think our progress is too fast?"

This is no longer just normally fast; the progress in every aspect is just too fast!

"Is it?" Jiu Jiu said casually. She felt that what she had done was not that much; she just did everything she could think of first.

Thinking about it carefully, Jiu Jiu felt that the progress Gu Jiangming mentioned must be the feelings between them.

"I fell in love with you at first sight." Jiu Jiu said, following this line of thought: "Let's be together for now; as for the rest, as we spend our days and nights together, we should be able to grow into a long-lasting affection."

"I neither despise you nor dislike you."

The sound of the oil lamp being blown out; Jiu Jiu's clothes fell to the floor, and she rolled into the warm quilt.

This isn't a question of whether you despise me or not.

This is a question of whether my willpower can hold up or not.

Sometimes, what you cannot see is what makes one's imagination run wildest; Gu Jiangming felt icy-smooth legs gently touching him.

His heartbeat was thumping wildly and uncontrollably.

How could one possibly fall asleep like this?

Just in terms of emotion, the stimulation brought by Jiu Jiu was clearly a level higher than that of Long Xi.

Gu Jiangming turned around.

In the Reincarnation Simulation, when there were only options, he dared to do anything and dared to charge at anything; facing reality, he was a bit cowardly.

And as Gu Jiangming pressed against the wall, Jiu Jiu moved closer; she seemed to be leaning against Gu Jiangming's body on purpose.

When he retreated further, Jiu Jiu deliberately moved even closer.

This was very infuriating.

I am yielding to you, and you are taking a mile for an inch, aren't you?

Gu Jiangming stopped caring; he took the opportunity to stretch out his hands and place them around Jiu Jiu's waist, leaning in with an embracing posture.

You like to stick close, you like to lean, right?

A man yielding to you doesn't mean he is afraid of you.

I said I was cowardly, but you really thought I was cowardly to the end?

The rebellious spirit has arrived!

Jiu Jiu herself still had some intention of teasing Gu Jiangming; she felt that the other party's courage was a bit small, not like the bold appearance he had toward her at the beginning of the Reincarnation Simulation.

Her playful mood suddenly rose.

She just deliberately wanted to bully the current Gu Jiangming, who lacked the spirit of the Shushan Dao Venerable and was even a bit weak in terms of strength.

But Jiu Jiu did not expect that although Gu Jiangming had lost that cultivation base, that bit of boldness was still there.

By taking a mile for an inch, she indeed suffered Gu Jiangming's retaliation.

"Do you still dare to tease me?" Gu Jiangming had already sensed that this was something Jiu Jiu did on purpose, "I'll let you off this time."

"Behave yourself."

Jiu Jiu had originally intended to behave, but with Gu Jiangming speaking like that, she got a bit angry.

The two of them had some similarities in their temperaments.

Who is stronger, you or me!

Turning her head, a pair of beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Gu Jiangming.

Only then did Gu Jiangming realize that he was still a weak, ordinary human facing Jiu Jiu; even with Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, he was no match for Jiu Jiu.

No matter what, she was a genuine great demon.

She reached out and grabbed Gu Jiangming's shoulders, rolled with the quilt, and brought Gu Jiangming down to the floor together.

She looked down from a superior position.

She sat arrogantly on top of Gu Jiangming.

She was high-spirited, as if declaring her victory.

However, such a loud sound of falling created far too much of a commotion.

There were still other people in this large courtyard.

Liuyu, who had not yet fallen asleep in the adjacent room and was still reflecting on the events of the afternoon, thought something had happened to Jiu Jiu and immediately rushed over using an Evasion Technique.

She didn't even knock on the door; after all, it was her own daughter, was there any need to knock?

Moreover, Liuyu knew Jiu Jiu's temperament very well.

This daughter of hers had a cold temperament, was a bit aloof, did not like to interact with others, and had very strong subjective ideas of her own.

But the moment the door was pushed open.

Liuyu gasped, seemingly uncertain about what was happening before her eyes, and closed the door again.

What was happening before her eyes was simply too outrageous.

One must know that Jiu Jiu's personality was something even she, as a mother, could not control; sometimes when she expressed a few of her own ideas, Jiu Jiu would propose better viewpoints to refute her.

For these years, it has been Jiu Jiu who has been in charge of matters.

In this home, the prestige of her mother is actually not high; it is Jiu Jiu who acts as the manager, because every single thing she has done, up until now, has not been wrong.

She rarely acts recklessly.

But the current direction of events is increasingly exceeding the imagination of Liuyu.

It is truly not that her imagination is not rich enough, but that the things happening all day today are breaking her cognitive limits and exceeding her bottom line.

Liuyu feels that her own bottom line is already strange enough, but she did not expect that the usually serious Jiu Jiu would be even more bizarre than her.

At this moment, Jiu Jiu finally remembers that in this Reincarnation, she saved her mother.

Looking at Liuyu who broke through the door.

Jiu Jiu takes a deep breath, her face turning bright red; such a matter, she must explain it clearly no matter what, even if there is no room for sophistry now, she still has to say something, attempting to salvage her image.

"Mother, listen to my explanation."

The usually cold Jiu Jiu reveals such a 'disheveled' expression.

It truly makes Gu Jiangming unable to hold it in, the corners of his mouth curling up involuntarily.

Last time, he was made to sweat profusely by Xu Qingyun, unable to explain clearly no matter how he explained.

That kind of painful feeling, who could understand?!

And now, the smile has already shifted to Gu Jiangming's face.

Making trouble!

You like to make trouble!

Are you still going to make trouble!

Come, at worst, let's keep going!

Let's see who is the one suffering a loss!

"Jiu, my waist is so sore." Gu Jiangming holds his waist and speaks the truth; there is no help for it, he really did hurt his waist.

If I increase the intensity for you, you shouldn't be angry, right?

Jiu Jiu grinds her teeth, she now wishes she could tear Gu Jiangming's mouth to shreds.

You stinking heartless one, still acting up at a time like this.

Facing the gazes of others, Jiu Jiu can ignore them, but facing her mother, she cannot withstand those eyes full of suspicion and doubt.

Then, Jiu Jiu sees the look of relief on her mother's face, as if she is sighing that her daughter has grown up, and silently closes the door.

What is this?

It is humiliation!

Jiu Jiu bites down on Gu Jiangming's shoulder, as if she wants to vent all her shame here.

After all, she has lost all face.

Gu Jiangming did not expect that the exasperated Jiu Jiu would actually bite him; feeling the sudden pain, he waves his hands continuously, but accidentally grabs a place he shouldn't have.

Jiu Jiu is only wearing a thin layer of undergarments, so at this level, the texture he touches can only be described as very soft.

Having just closed the door and prepared to calm down, Liuyu pushes the door open again and sees a scene that shocks her even more.

They are even still in the midst of a fierce struggle.

Liuyu places her hands on her forehead; the impact of the scene before her is something even a monster of Liuyu's age cannot handle.

No.

I just pushed the door open, did you two not notice?

Has it already reached this level?

Completely unaffected?!

Are you treating me as a transparent person?

Liuyu can only close the door again; many thoughts emerge in her mind.

Should she... start preparing for the days of three generations living under one roof?

At this speed, Liuyu feels she might be able to become a grandmother soon.

Should she prepare some things to nourish Jiu Jiu's body in advance?

And the blood flowing from the tooth marks on Gu Jiangming's shoulder, accompanied by rich Spirit Qi, slowly falls into Jiu Jiu's mouth.

She suppresses the desire to continue sucking and releases her bite.

Because Jiu Jiu only wanted to bite him to give Gu Jiangming a small lesson and alleviate her own shame and embarrassment.

And very soon, Jiu Jiu feels the divinity belonging to Jingwei within her body being catalyzed once again by this Spirit Qi of unknown origin.

She can clearly feel that the power of the Qimen she releases now will be even more ferocious than before.

On Gu Jiangming's body... what exactly has happened?

Not only is the breath he exhales filled with Spirit Qi, but even the blood flowing from him carries abundant and extraordinarily divine Spirit Qi.

A hint of curiosity appears in Jiu Jiu's eyes.
