Leading the entire sect to victory, this useless girl amazed the world of cultivation!

The Lord of the Underworld gently curled up his fingertips, and a ball of white aura slowly condensed, forming the shape of Zhu Yan at his fingertips.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Wushuang, his long silky hair dancing in the wind. His cold and perfect face showed neither sadness nor joy. His clear and melodious voice asked softly, "Are you looking for him?"

The moment Ji Wushuang saw Zhu Yan, her throat immediately tightened and she wanted to get closer to him.

But under the power of the Lord of the Underworld, she couldn't even move her fingertips.

He could only try to open his eyes wide, and watch Zhu Yan's body changing for a moment... Sometimes it was like clouds and mist that were about to dissipate, and sometimes it solidified and became as crystal clear as a glass gem.

Seeing that Ji Wushuang was too reluctant to even blink, the Lord of the Underworld moved his fingertips slightly, and finally suppressed the urge to "crush" Zhu Yan. With a light flick, Zhu Yan turned into a snowflake and gently stuck to Ji Wushuang's eyebrows.

"Say goodbye properly."

He turned around, his tall and majestic figure seemed to melt into the wind and snow, and suddenly heard Ji Wushuang whisper: "Thank you..."

The Lord of the Underworld turned his head and looked at her, and only then did Ji Wushuang see his face clearly.

As expected...

A miraculous face.

Three-dimensional and graceful contours, deep and delicate eyebrows and eyes, and beautiful lips.

He turned sideways to look back at him, and a hazy, holy light suddenly penetrated the snow and poured down upon him, bathing him in a pure, white light. Even the curve of his eyelashes inexplicably softened...

Ji Wushuang couldn't help but be stunned. After coming back to his senses, he quickly lowered his eyes and said softly, "Thank you very much."

The Lord of the Underworld looked deeply at the top of Ji Wushuang's head. He should have just left, but his voice was a step faster and he asked, "What are you thanking me for?"

Ji Wushuang was dumbfounded. No, she just said "thank you" politely. How should she answer him when he asked her that?

Ji Wushuang's mouth twitched slightly, but he still said, "Thank you for letting Xiao Zhuyan come to see me..."

The Lord of the Underworld naturally saw Ji Wushuang's reluctance, and with his eyes slightly narrowed, he asked, "What else?"

besides?

Ji Wushuang racked his brains: "This... thank you for repairing my body?"

"Huh? There's more?"

"Thank you for helping me reincarnate?"

"Well, continue."

"..."

Continue what? Continue.

Ji Wushuang said with a stiff face, "Thank you for guiding me in my cultivation? Thank you for protecting my soul in the void with the Tianyantu? Thank you for thinking of me all the way?"

When the Lord of the Underworld saw Ji Wushuang stuttering and thinking hard, the slight confusion in his heart dissipated.

He curled the corners of his lips and said slowly, "You're quite sensible. Say goodbye and go back."

go back?

What about Zhu Yan?

Ji Wushuang was so anxious that he suddenly raised his head and unexpectedly broke through the Taoist restrictions around the Lord of the Underworld in one fell swoop. Ji Wushuang was stunned, but he didn't have time to be shocked for too long. He quickly stepped forward and said, "I... Zhu Yan... can you keep him by my side? I will use my life and everything I have to protect him."

The Lord of the Underworld's pupils trembled slightly, and when he turned around to look at Ji Wushuang, his voice became a little deeper.

"Do you know Zhu Yan's identity?"

"I, I think I know."

"Then tell me, what is your identity?"

"Uh... maybe one of your many incarnations."

The Lord of the Underworld had a complicated look in his eyes. "Then do you know that even the myriad incarnations carry my consciousness and my will?"

"I know, I know." Ji Wushuang nodded repeatedly, "But that's not you after all. Besides, you have so many incarnations, so you shouldn't be short of Zhu Yan... right?"

Ji Wushuang's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, because she noticed that a thick cloud was slowly brewing in the depths of the Lord of the Underworld's eyes.

Ji Wushuang got goosebumps all over his body when he was looked at. He didn't know what he said wrongly, so he just said softly: "This... no... is it not possible?"

The Lord of the Underworld sighed softly, "To put it bluntly, he is my incarnation, which means that I am aware of everything you do to him... Including but not limited to you pinching his cheek, kissing the top of his head, and being close to him... ahem..."

The Lord of the Underworld looked a little unnatural when he spoke the latter part. When he looked at Ji Wushuang again, his whole body seemed to be cracking.

She began to recall the series of kisses, hugs, and lifts she and Zhu Yan had shared. The more she thought about it, the more her head started to buzz, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into... So, had she always been kissing, hugging, and lifting the Lord of the Underworld?!

Ji Wushuang:!!!

In the end, he was almost numb from thinking about it, and Ji Wushuang even had the urge to throw the jar into the air.

cough cough cough.

Anyway, as long as I am thick-skinned enough and not embarrassed, then it is others who will be embarrassed.

Ji Wushuang has always abided by this golden rule.

"Hahaha, this...hahahaha, Zhu Yan and I have a good relationship..."

"Ok?"

"You know, I, uh... I haven't had any blood relatives since I was a child. Zhu Yan is like family to me."

The Lord of the Underworld looked confused, "Do you like to be so intimate with your family too?"

"Hahaha...hahaha...everyone expresses their emotions differently." Ji Wushuang explained awkwardly. She couldn't tell the Lord of the Underworld that Zhu Yan was so cute, so adorable, and so beautiful, so she felt soft-hearted at the sight of her and couldn't help but stick to him.

Ahem, if the Lord of the Underworld knew that I evaluated his "clone" in this way, I'm afraid he would also be cloned, the kind of clone with the head and body separated in the real sense.

The Lord of the Underworld lowered his eyes and gazed deeply at Ji Wushuang, which made her look erratic and uncertain. He felt extremely guilty, and then he chuckled and said, "I asked Zhu Yan to look for you because I didn't know if the thank-you gift from that year had caused you any trouble."

Ji Wushuang looked up in confusion, and saw the Lord of the Underworld's eyelashes trembling slightly. He said gently, "Back then, you helped me break through the Dao Tribulation. I used the origin energy of the Underworld to repair your body... I originally wanted to let you be free, but I never thought that it would bring you disaster..."

The Lord of the Underworld was talking about the misfortune that Ji Wushuang suffered after the Battle of Guixu, where he died and was eaten.

Ji Wushuang didn't care much and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not a big problem."

"So I did protect your soul, preventing you from dissipating in the torrent of the void... After that, because you possessed a dark spirit body, you were inevitably incompatible with the universe and unable to cultivate. That's why I sent Zhu Yan to check on you, hoping to give you a little protection... I had no other intentions."

"what?"

He just stayed by Ji Wushuang's side through "Zhu Yan".

Zhu Yan seemed to have his own emotions, which also quietly spread within his soul. There was pride, respect, love, and other indescribable complex emotions, and so on and so forth...

It's not that he didn't know, he just didn't intervene, didn't stop it, and didn't recall "Zhu Yan".

Through "Zhu Yan", he felt her smile, her sadness, her indomitable spirit, her fighting spirit, her body temperature, her joys and sorrows, etc. ... until the day when Zhu Yan's power was exhausted.

Yes, all the emotions and touches are because of "Zhu Yan".

It was "Zhu Yan" that affected me.

It wasn't an emotion he had of his own accord.

That's it.

It’s “Zhu Yan”, not him.

The more Ji Wushuang listened, the more embarrassed he felt. How could he put it... He felt like a villain who was seeking repayment for a favor.

I just did the Lord of the Underworld a small favor, how could I let him do so much for me?

"Do you still want Zhu Yan to be by your side?"

Ji Wushuang was silent for a long time, and said with red ears: "I...this...he is your incarnation..."

"Correct."

"It's not you, is it?"

"..."

Ji Wushuang felt that after she asked this question, the snowflakes around the Lord of the Underworld became particularly large and gorgeous, which made Ji Wushuang inexplicably frightened. She quietly took a step back and finally heard the Lord of the Underworld whisper: "No."

"Then the Zhu Yan who was at the edge of the sea back then...wasn't you, right?"

"……no."

"Then this Zhu Yan and that Zhu Yan, are they the same incarnation?"

"……Yes."

"Then, can you leave him to my care?" Ji Wushuang's eyes suddenly brightened. "Can you? I will definitely treat him very well. Please, please... You also need messengers and incarnations to roam the universe. I can help you find all the anomalies in the cycle of the underworld. I don't need any reward, I just want you to keep Zhu Yan by my side, okay?"

In order to keep Zhu Yan, Ji Wushuang even bravely took a step towards the Lord of the Underworld, and gently tugged at his sleeves, saying pitifully, "Please, please..."

Lord of the Underworld: “…”
