Chapter 1508: 165: Looking Back at the Human World
Chapter 1508: Chapter 165: Looking Back at the Human WorldOn the wide bed, Liang Jiu lay on his back, breathing softly, his face flushed.
His upper body was bare, exposed to the air, while his lower body was hidden under the covers.
A slender, fair finger wandered across his chest, tracing meaningless symbols.
The woman wearing a faceless mask propped her hand on her temple, half-curled beside him…
Thick snow and red dots of cherries, all flavors vanish by themselves.
Graceful curves, like a masterpiece of art.
Perfectly balanced, like a gourmet dish… and the blanket holding her was the serving plate.
Liang Jiu was already full.
Too full to move even a finger.
But the slender jade finger roaming his chest seemed to possess a certain magic.
Made him unable to resist looking to the side, at the mountains, at the waters.
Trapped in the mountains, and also trapped in the waters.
“What are you looking at?” the woman asked with a charming voice.
Liang Jiu gazed at her foolishly, his Adam’s apple rolling involuntarily, swallowing, whispering, “Can I see the you under the mask? I want to see you, see more of you, remember everything about you…”
“No way.” Yanzi refused without hesitation.
Facing Liang Jiu’s somewhat disappointed eyes, she tapped his nose, explaining, “Fool. I’m protecting you, haven’t you forgotten my nickname?”
Fifth among Human Demons, Masked Demon, show the face and one must kill.
Like cold water dowsing through him, Liang Jiu suddenly sobered from that intoxicating desire, fear evident in his eyes.
Yanzi gently touched his face, bringing warmth soft as smoke and dreamy: “Good boy, don’t be afraid, sister can’t bear to hurt you.”
“I understand.” Liang Jiu’s eyes shimmered with tears, stammering, “Without you, I don’t know how to live on…”
“Silly child.” Yanzi leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, “Without me, you must live well, because I want you to live well…”
Yanzi closed her eyes: “Because I really like you, really, I miss you so much…”
The mask was tightly pressed against his chest, bringing no discomfort, as if… a human face.
Liang Jiu had long been accustomed to this touch, feeling himself sinking into a certain happiness, softly saying, “Sister, we must be together forever…”
“How long is forever? Can we obtain what we want?” Yanzi asked softly, clinging to his chest, “If someone wants to kill me, what would you do?”
Liang Jiu gritted his teeth, “I would kill them!”
Yanzi asked again, “What if even I can’t defeat that person?”
“Then I would die ahead of you,” Liang Jiu said.
“You’re so good…”
Yanzi murmured, the sound going down, down, endlessly down—Hiss!
Bam!
The door was kicked open.
Jiang Wang, in a green robe, walked in, casually removing his cloak, revealing a face with increasingly distinct features. Putting away the dragon-headed staff, pulling out Longing, he politely said, “Sorry to interrupt.”
The startled and angry Liang Jiu turned his head, momentarily dumbfounded!
How could he forget Yu Songhai?
He would never forget Yu Songhai!
On that blood-soaked night, this man stepped out from the darkness on Qingyun, saving Feng Ming from four Human Demons’ hands, breaking the great lock mountain array…
He had once hoped so much that Yu Songhai had saved him!
He thought he would be eternally grateful, repaying with his life.
But the hero’s intervention was just a fleeting moment, and the ray of dawn didn’t shine on him.
Back then it was only possible to save someone and flee; today, he could arrive with a sword to chase them down?
Is this what a genius is?
Is this a hero?
Is this the true protagonist of this world?
While he, as insignificant as a worm, desperately clings to… what is it?
Liang Jiu leapt up from the bed, fully exposed, arms wide open, charging straight at Jiang Wang, roaring, “Yanzi, you must go quickly!”
A cold light flashed by.
He clutched his neck with both hands, falling straight from the air, blood continuously spurting through his fingers.
He fell to the ground kneeling, his head hitting the floor, eyes dazed, gazing past his shoulders directly at the window.
The world was upside down…
He only saw a fleeting shadow disappearing outside the window.
Then he saw the back of Yu Songhai pursuing out with a sword.
No one left a word for him.
No one spared him another glance.
The world was always so.
…
…
“Jiang! Meeting on a narrow path, life and death are decided! Isn’t killing the three of them enough? Why keep chasing after me!”
Masked Demon flew frantically through the air, both frightened and angry.
Since fleeing from Broken Soul Gorge, from Shen Country to Rong Country, and on to Zheng Country, who knows how many circles she had made along the way.
Without the Diviner, she knew she couldn’t roam as freely as before, not fearing to leave traces, so she was extra cautious. Times that required appearing, she let Liang Jiu handle it.
Yet unexpectedly, she was found in Zheng Country!
Jiang Wang walked on Qingyun, his steps unhurried, his voice calm, “Facing four, naturally killing four is complete. Otherwise, in the future, people might say my name is unearned!”
This was a city within Zheng Country, Jiang Wang came following the clues of his thoughts, without paying attention to its name.
But their pursuit in the city sky naturally drew the local experts to swiftly ascend and intercept.
“Who goes there! State your name…”
“Jiang Wang from Daqi pursuing Masked Demon, flying directly into your territory by the alliance of Zhuhe, no one may interfere!”
At this moment, Jiang Wang couldn’t be bothered about revealing his identity; the battle on Star Moon Plain had already started, whether he was missing or not wouldn’t matter anymore.
He simply revealed his identity, pulling out the alliance of Zhuhe to exert pressure.
Unexpectedly, those cultivators soaring to the sky, as if seeing a legendary figure, began shouting loudly, “Come and see, come and see, it’s Jiang Wang!”
All across the city, more cultivators flew up, shouting repetitively, “Has the greatest Inner Mansion in Qing history arrived?”
“Where is he, which one is Jiang Wang?”
Jiang Wang was a little puzzled, quickly reacting.
No matter what happened, if it could be used, then use it. He directly shouted, “Help me stop her!”
Considering the cruelty of Human Demons, to avoid harming the innocent, as soon as the first sentence was said, the next immediately followed, “Those below the Outer Building Environment, don’t throw your lives away!”
But he was clearly overthinking it.
Though many ascended into the sky, none dared to intercept the Masked Demon, all watching from a distance.
“This is Jiang Wang? Indeed has presence! And good stature!”
“Idiot, Jiang Wang is the one behind!”
After all, it was just a small city within Zheng Country, finding a strong enough expert to match the Masked Demon was practically impossible.
Upon hearing Jiang Wang pursuing the Demon, they all came out to watch… only watching.
Jiang Wang didn’t know what to say, just lowered his head and continued pursuing with his sword.
Unbeknownst to him, Yanzi was also deeply frustrated. She had intended to create chaos and escape amidst it, unexpectedly finding the city remained calm, everyone coolly watching…
No one feared the Demon anymore!
But did they not realize, with the greatest Inner Mansion in history present, what was there to fear from the Demons?
Yanzi’s form exploded in mid-air, splitting into three shadows, flying in three directions.
If it were before, Jiang Wang would have surely lost track this time.
But now, a wisp of blue smoke rose from his fingertip, and he decisively pursued southward.
