Chapter 257
"You've finally finished; hurry and tell me, what do you plan to do next?" Seeing Jiang Xun enter, Si Yuyan stood up from the ground and ran over to ask him.
Jiang Xun nodded, then proceeded to recount his plan in detail.
"So we return to the original world in ten days, finish the timeline there with Jun Tianling, and then you merge my soul with someone else's so we can return to this world?"
Si Yuyan nodded after hearing this.
"Yes, because if we don't finish the timeline with Jun Tianling, I'm afraid she might suddenly pull me over from this space-time. If there's only one chance to travel and the Liu Hong Sword breaks, you'll be in trouble, so we must finish Jun Tianling's timeline."
"Can't we just throw away the Soul Suppressor?" Si Yuyan asked.
"It has nothing to do with the Soul Suppressor. I wasn't holding it the second time I traveled over either. From this, I deduce that I am already bound to Jun Tianling; even if I don't have the Soul Suppressor, it's possible I'll still go over because of the Liu Hong Sword."
Jiang Xun shook his head.
"Alright... then whose soul am I supposed to merge with? Don't you dare give me a man!"
Si Yuyan then said urgently.
"How could that be!" Jiang Xun said upon hearing this: "I think the most suitable target is Jun Tianling; when the time comes, I'll take her soul and yours, knead them together, and bring them over."
"That could work." Si Yuyan nodded; at least she was somewhat familiar with Jun Tianling: "But you have to see if she's willing. According to what Tang Ying said, the information and stories we've collected are all stories of this world, so we still don't know what the situation is in our original world."
"At the time, Zhongli Lingyu said that the person Jun Tianling killed was Tang Qingming, and that was also based on the image I described... I already felt it was strange before; she said Jun Tianling loved to stir up trouble, but the Jun Tianling I know doesn't have that kind of personality." Jiang Xun nodded.
How could someone who loves to stir up trouble stay honestly in the mountains for over a hundred years without going anywhere?
As for the story of the three of them in this world, it's also a mess.
If Jun Tianling didn't kill Tang Qingming, how did she become a Saint? How did Tang Ying become a Supreme? Are Si Yuyan and Tang Ying really a couple?
Rather than sitting here and letting my imagination run wild, it's better to just go and ask.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xun got up and headed toward Ming Ning's room.
Using the Token to open the door to Ming Ning's room, Jiang Xun walked straight in; Ming Ning was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing.
Sensing Jiang Xun enter, she withdrew her Spirit Power, exhaled slowly, and opened her eyes: "How is it? What happened yesterday?"
It seems she had already switched back to Ming Ning, and Jun Tianling hadn't told Ming Ning about what happened last night.
"The Valley Master wants me to have a child with her." Jiang Xun said, sitting beside Ming Ning.
"Ah?" Ming Ning was also stunned upon hearing this, then looked Jiang Xun up and down: "Then, last night...?"
"Yeah." Jiang Xun nodded: "The Supreme has spoken, I dare not disobey."
"I think you're just following your heart." Ming Ning rolled her eyes at Jiang Xun.
"I really couldn't refuse. I resisted with all my might at the time, but she knocked me unconscious with a single finger. When I woke up, I was already tied up in her room. I really couldn't resist."
Jiang Xun shook his head repeatedly.
"Shameless." Two rooms away, Tang Ying, who was lying on the bed feigning sleep, cursed upon hearing Jiang Xun's words.
Never mind being two rooms away; with Tang Ying's hearing, even if Jiang Xun were in the Northern Wasteland or even Dongming, she could hear him speak if she wanted to.
"I'd be a ghost if I believed you, but as long as your life isn't in danger, that's fine." Ming Ning didn't believe Jiang Xun's nonsense at all: "Then why did you come to find me?"
"I came for that." Jiang Xun said, pointing to his head.
Ming Ning understood upon hearing this and nodded.
After closing her eyes and opening them again, the person had switched to Jun Tianling.
"What is it?" Jun Tianling looked at Jiang Xun and asked.
"I want to know what exactly happened between you, Tang Ying, and Si Yuyan." Jiang Xun said, looking at Jun Tianling.
"Go ask Tang Ying about that." Jun Tianling said, and then immediately switched Ming Ning back.
"..." Jiang Xun was speechless at the sight; does this Jun Tianling really not know him?
"Go on, go attend to your business first. If you're free tonight, come to me." Ming Ning said, patting Jiang Xun's shoulder lightly.
"I'll definitely come." Jiang Xun nodded, kissed Ming Ning on the forehead, then got up and left Ming Ning's room to go to Tang Ying's side.
Just as he was about to open the door, it opened by itself.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun walked straight in, and then the door closed again. Tang Ying looked at Jiang Xun and said: "The 'us' in this world has nothing to do with you; you don't need to probe too much."
"A day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of grace, right? Just tell me and satisfy my curiosity." Jiang Xun sat on the edge of Tang Ying's bed and looked at Tang Ying, who was lying on the bed: "Since we're idle anyway, just treat it as telling a story to pass the time."
After all, the two were physically intimate, so Tang Ying naturally wouldn't say much about it.
Tang Ying opened her eyes upon hearing this and looked at Jiang Xun: "Just keep these things to yourself; don't go spreading them, understand?"
"I'm not that idle." Jiang Xun nodded.
Then Tang Ying waved her hand, and a mist of ice formed in front of Jiang Xun, and images began to appear on it.
It was a little girl, about fifteen years old.
"My goodness, a projector." Jiang Xun was also greatly surprised at the sight.
Then he saw the little girl in the image running quickly. Looking at the surroundings, it seemed to be inside some Imperial Palace. Suddenly, the sky turned dark, and the roar of a wild beast echoed out.
A giant centipede broke through the palace wall and roared in front of the girl. With a violent flick of its body, the entire Teleportation Array was destroyed.
The girl was so frightened she stood frozen on the spot, then was picked up by a man and flew away.
"Is this Jun Tianling? During the Northern Wasteland invasion?" Jiang Xun asked upon seeing this.
"Yes." Tang Ying nodded.
The following images showed the entire Northern Wasteland being overrun by Demonic Beasts. Under layers of cover, Jun Tianling was sent out of the Imperial City and fled south with her protector.
But the two were surrounded from the rear by a humanoid crocodile Demon King that had circled behind the Junlin Dynasty. To cover Jun Tianling, the Integration Realm protector fought the Demon King and self-destructed.
Jun Tianling, by a stroke of fate, ran into the Blood Valley. The Valley Master of the Blood Valley discovered that Jun Tianling was already a Nascent Soul cultivator at only fifteen, and possessed a mutated Spirit Root in her body. She was a very talented child, so she decided to protect Jun Tianling from the Demon Race.
Afterward, she taught Jun Tianling the Heavenly Net Soul-Urging in the Blood Valley, and could be considered Jun Tianling's master.
During these eight years, in order to train Jun Tianling, the Valley Master of the Blood Valley made Jun Tianling find her own ways to obtain Supreme Grade Breakthrough Pills, and she had to find her own way to achieve the Supreme Position.
Thus, Jun Tianling began using her Crimson Wings to travel between various dynasties to obtain pills and the Supreme Position. If she could win, she would just rob them; if she couldn't win, she would use her Crimson Wings to run away. Moreover, she would at most provoke people one realm higher than her; she was as steady as an old dog.
Eight years later, the Jun Tianling who left the Blood Valley was already an Integration Realm Great Perfection cultivator holding the Soul Suppressor. At twenty-three years old, at Integration Great Perfection, Jun Tianling's talent could be described as terrifying.
