Chapter 126: But Now, the Sun Has Arrived!

Eat… eat little cookies?!

A few words left the whole crowd utterly stunned.

Jingzhe's once heroic, striking face was now covered with absurdity and bewilderment.

The other girls' minds went completely blank, totally crashing.

They tried to understand, to piece together the chaotic images that Ling Xi had depicted.

But…

What the heck is "eat little cookies"!

Why didn't they say they were fighting the landlord in that Corpse Mountain Blood Sea!

"Ling Xi, you…"

Jingzhe struggled to swallow, his voice hoarse.

"Did you see it wrong? Or maybe… you've been too tired lately?"

Right!

It must be that!

Surely it's from overusing abilities, mental disorder, and scorching the brain!

Otherwise, how could one see such illogical, blasphemous images of gods and demons?

In an instant, everyone's gaze at Ling Xi shifted from terror to deep concern and pity.

This kid… might really be useless!

However.

Only one person in the crowd had an expression that turned exceedingly odd.

Su Ming stroked his chin.

The look he gave Ling Xi carried a hint of amazement.

This woman…

She does have that bit of badassery!

That scene, not to mention, actually looks a bit like his own style!

After finishing a thrilling bout, he felt a bit bored and weary.

Nothing more normal!

Sit down, eat some snacks, replenish his energy…

Reasonable, right?

The more Su Ming thought about it, the more it resonated with him.

The gaze he cast at Ling Xi grew increasingly intense!

Scary!

This is no longer just a simple sixth sense…

This is "Foreseeing the Future"!

Talent!

Truly a talent!

Top‑tier tool!

But Su Ming's fiery gaze fell upon Ling Xi, whose mind had already collapsed.

The flavor completely changed!

Spicy!

He saw something he shouldn't have seen.

He glimpsed the demon king's deepest secret!

He… is about to kill and silence!

Just as Ling Xi's legs went limp, thinking she would vanish from the mortal realm the next instant.

The demon king smiled.

"Don't be afraid."

His voice was flat, even with a hint of encouragement.

"Tell everything you saw."

Huh?

He still wants to listen?!

This devil actually enjoys being spied upon!

Pervert!

Ling Xi glanced at the sisters still worrying about her, and, in despair, took a deep breath.

"You… you are Jing!"

Boom!!!

Jing!

One word instantly sucked the last breath out of the Jin Se Tea Garden!

The previously bewildered Jingzhe and others, who thought Ling Xi was mentally unstable, now only had horror in their eyes.

This name…

How could they possibly not know!

Mid‑Autumn night, worldwide attention, a blood‑red feast!

Jing, emerging across the sky!

With his own power alone, he slew two Twelve Heavenly King Artists.

With a fault‑line level of expectation, he tramples every strong person in the world beneath his feet.

In the end he was chosen by the heroine, dragged into the final act, and the world deems him a monster cursed by Heaven, a regrettable end to a talent!

Is it him?!

In an instant.

All the previously unreasonable points now have the most reasonable explanation!

Why does the proud Diejie become as humble as a servant?

Why does he dare to brazenly intrude on their territory?

Why does Ling Xi see that terrifying future of gods and demons falling, skeletons piled like mountains?

Because…

He is Jing!

Jingzhe's breathing quickens, his chest heaving violently.

In those eyes that locked Su Ming's gaze, fear had long faded.

Only burning heat and worship remain!

She, Jingzhe, is the most sentimental in life, yet she is only obsessed with battle and power!

Life's creed is simple and brutal—

If you can beat her, she submits! She worships!

If you can't beat her, scram!

So, when that figure topped the global charts during the Mid‑Autumn Festival, she was more excited than anyone.

Last night, she alone smashed all the sandbags in the training room.

She was sorrowful over such a strong one's downfall, staying up all night without sleep.

But now…

The star she thought had already fallen suddenly appeared alive right before her!

This is not fear.

This is a pilgrimage!

Did everyone hear?

Mengdie slowly walked to the center of the hall, surveying the group of pale‑faced sisters with varied reactions.

Now you should see clearly!

You know better than I do where Jin Cheng is.

In the north there is Tuiduji Chen Beixuan, the Official's Blade of Order; those who follow him prosper, those who oppose him perish.

In the south there is Golden House old Lao Dutu, the uncrowned king of the night, who devours people without spitting out bones.

Between them are a bunch of lunatics called Western Shu Kuangtu, who act on whims and turn the world upside down.

We, Shi Er Yueji, are the most dazzling flowers in this district, thorny and poisonous, the undisputed kings of this greenhouse garden!

Mengdie's gaze grew sharper.

But a greenhouse is still a greenhouse!

Our roots can only anchor in this tiny space!

Our branches can at most touch that fragile glass dome!

With our own effort, perhaps we can bloom in purple and pink, a tapestry of blossoms!

But once the storm outside arrives and this glass shatters…

You know well what the outcome will be!

When the red scent fades and spring ends, the flowers wither!

She turned sharply.

Amid the horrified gazes of everyone.

She knelt on one knee before the man who had always lounged lazily on the chair, respectfully and devoutly!

The greenhouse of Jin Cheng is too small to nurture a flower that can devour heaven and earth.

But now, the sun has arrived!

Diejie!

Someone let out a startled shout.

Mengdie seemed not to hear, lifted her breathtakingly beautiful face, and her eyes held only ambition and frenzy.

Only by following him can we leave the greenhouse and root ourselves in the true heavens and earth!

She slowly rose, her gaze sweeping over those still trembling faces, her voice cold.

I, Mengdie, from this moment, this life, this body, this soul, belong solely to Jing!

My path has already been chosen.

She paused.

Considering we are sisters, I won't force you!

Stay and follow me to the deity, to fight for a future that will make the world see us clearly!

Or continue guarding this garden, being the greenhouse king for a lifetime…

Decide for yourself!

This is the last dignity I can give you!
