"How is it impossible?" Jiu Che took her hand and placed it on his chest, "Wan Ji, it's me, it's really me."

Li Wanji was still a little bit unbelievable. Her fingers trembled slightly as she felt the rhythm of Jiuji's heartbeat.

"But why would you..."

"Why did he suddenly turn into a human form and become your husband, right?" Jiu Che took over her words, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

Li Wanji nodded, this was exactly what she was wondering about.

"Ten thousand years ago, during the war among the gods, my master Chi You was defeated, and I was also seriously injured and my body was destroyed."

"I should have perished along with my master in the ancient city of gods, but I was saved by your ancestor, the Great Emperor Wanjie. He placed my soul in the body of a newborn iron-eating beast, allowing me to survive."

"However, due to the severe damage to my soul, I fell into a long sleep. It was not until hundreds of years ago that I woke up and found that I had become an ordinary spirit beast."

"At that time, the Great Emperor Wanjie had already fallen, and the Li family had long lost its former glory. The family spirit he left behind sensed my awakening and brought me to you."

The family spirit left behind by the Wanjie ancestor? Could it be Li Wenzhao?

"That weapon spirit is a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament and dressed in a green shirt. Oh, and he always likes to hold a feather fan, right?"

Jiu Che shook his head: "No, he is very young, and his appearance should be incomparable, but it's a pity that he always wears a cloak, covering his face, so people can't see his true appearance."

It was a young man, and he was not Li Wenzhao!

Li Wanji fell into deep thought. If she remembered correctly, the only spirit weapon left by the ancestor Wanjie seemed to be Li Wenzhao.

So, who is this mysterious spirit?

Li Wanji's doubts did not last long, because Jiuche continued to speak.

"This weapon spirit envoy is extremely powerful. In my tens of thousands of years of memory, he is one of the most unfathomable beings I have ever seen."

"He told me that Emperor Wanjie set up numerous traps and tests to protect the bloodline of the Li family, and I am the last line of defense he prepared for you."

"The last line of defense?" Li Wanji repeated this sentence, always feeling that the Li family's background was much deeper and more complex than she had imagined.

"Well, the last one." Jiu Che said in a deep voice, "Emperor Wanjie foresaw the future crisis of the Li family, especially the threat from the human race, so he laid out many backup plans, and I am one of them."

"He used a secret method to merge my soul with the iron-eating beast and planted the seeds of revival in me. When the time is right, I will be able to awaken and guard you. And your appearance is at that time."

"So that's how it is..." Li Wanji muttered to herself.

"Also, the contract I signed with you was not an ordinary spirit beast contract, but the 'One Heart and One Life Contract' personally taught by the Great Emperor Wanjie."

"Once I recover my true form and awaken all my abilities, this contract will be fully activated, allowing me to become your husband. We will share life and death, and be connected by the same fate."

"So Wanji, our fate has already been quietly planted ten thousand years ago, just waiting for the right time to bloom naturally like a flower."

A contract! Not a contract between a spirit beast, but a contract between a Taoist partner? What's going on!

Yes, Maozai is the spiritual pet given to him by the system. Could it be that the system is the spirit weapon left by the ancestor Wanjie?

This thought flashed through Li Wanji's mind, making her break out in a cold sweat.

If her guess was true, then everything she had experienced, including her relationship with Jiu Che, was all part of the careful planning of the ancestor Wan Jie, intended to ensure the continuation and revival of the Li bloodline.

"So, besides telling me these, do you have any other purpose for appearing this time?" She asked directly, already having a vague answer in her mind.

"It is to repay the favor, to eliminate all obstacles for the Li family, and to help you revive the demon race."

"I already know something about the Shadow Pavilion. The forces behind it are complicated and involve many secret forces in the fairy world."

"Now that I have awakened, I vow to face it with you, to pull out those termites hiding in the dark, and expose them in broad daylight."

"Jiu Che, thank you for telling me this, but you don't have to go to such lengths for my Li family. You could have been free and easy, why did you get involved in this complicated dispute?"

Jiu Che gently held Li Wanji's hand.

"Wanji, since you and I have already made a pact to share a common destiny, we are one. Your safety is my responsibility."

"Besides, Emperor Wanjie saved my life ten thousand years ago and allowed me to be reborn. I have no way to repay this kindness. I can only give everything I have, even my life."

"The most important thing is that the relationship between you and me is more than just a contract. I was able to recover my strength over hundreds of years because of your body. I have long had feelings for you."

Li Wanji's face suddenly turned red, thinking back to the past when she didn't sleep with other husbands, she almost always spent the night with Jiu Che, sometimes even snuggling together naked...

How embarrassing! Who would have thought that there would be such a day between the two of them?

The system is really something. Just give a husband away, but it makes it so complicated and affectionate that it really catches me off guard.

She lowered her head and whispered, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "I... I thought I was just taking care of a spirit beast, but I didn't expect..."

Jiu Che smiled gently: "Wan Ji, there is no need to say more. I already know your feelings. It's just that you can't treat me as a man. It doesn't matter. If you do some things too much, you will get used to them."

"You rascal, little panda, you're naughty again." Li Wanji glared at Jiu Che in reproach. The blush on her cheeks had not yet completely faded, as if she was acting coquettishly.

"Okay, let's get back to the point." Jiu Che put away his joking expression and said seriously, "The Shadow Pavilion's affairs are far more complicated than we imagined. Not only are there forces from the Immortal Realm behind them, but they may also be involved in deeper levels."

Li Wanji nodded, already having a plan in mind.

"Well, I will treat it with caution. The Shadow Pavilion once sent the Blood Demon Ancestor to kill me in the seventh heavenly tribulation, and I am sure he will attack me again. I might as well use myself as bait to lure them out, and then defeat them one by one."

Jiu Che frowned upon hearing this and said, "Wan Ji, it is not a good idea to put yourself in danger. The Shadow Pavilion acts in secret and with ruthless means. If you fall into their hands, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Jiuqie, I have made up my mind. Only if they see that I am alive will they reveal more of their true colors."

Jiu Che suddenly had an idea: "That's good. Since they can hire the Blood Demon Ancestor, they can hire a being more powerful than him. However, we can use this to set a trap and turn the tables."

"What plan have you come up with?"

"Since they like to hire strong men to deal with you, how about I be the killer?" Jiu Che raised a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You?" Li Wanji looked at him in surprise, then understood what he meant. "Good idea! If you pretend to be the killer, you will definitely be able to lure the snake out of its hole."

Jiu Che has a high level of cultivation and is able to hide his true identity, which cannot be detected except by a true god at the Daozu level.

If he pretends to be a killer, he can not only lure out the mastermind behind the Shadow Pavilion, but also give the opponent a fatal blow at the critical moment.

The two hit it off and immediately set about preparing this carefully designed trap.
