"We t Mr. Zhao and saved so people hiding in a large cellar, and now Nan Shuang is still rescuing others. However, I’m afraid that the cellar won’t hold for much longer."
Ran Qingchen looked at the bodies on the ground, feeling sowhat desperate, "Jiang Mo, has the army of Nanjin Country attacked?"
"If it were the army of Nanjin Country, that would be better."
Jiang Shouzhong said self-deprecatingly.
Ran Qingchen frowned: "What do you an?"
Jiang Shouzhong didn’t have ti to explain much, passing the map to Ran Qingchen: "There are two safe hiding spots here, save as many people as you can."
"And what about you?"
"I’ll help alleviate so of the pressure." Jiang Shouzhong looked towards the direction outside the city.
Ran Qingchen understood sothing, her pretty face paling as she grasped the man’s arm more tightly, "I will go with you!"
"Listen, darling."
Jiang Shouzhong patted the woman’s hand and said softly, "I, Jiang Mo, will not die so easily. You also need to take care of yourself and save whoever you can; if you can’t save them, then let it be."
"What... what did you call ?"
Ran Qingchen stamred, the enticing rouge color spreading across her cheeks.
"Wife."
Perhaps used to seeing too much life and death, Jiang Shouzhong was much more open-minded at the mont, smiling as he said, "Why don’t you give up pursuing Sword Dao and just happily be my wife? I really cannot bear to part with such a beautiful woman who is so good to ."
Ran Qingchen stood in shock, her cheeks blushing with sha while her heart blossod quietly with joy, intertwining together.
Once suppressed emotions, tangled love, and wavering feelings, at this mont, turned into sweet nectar, overflowing from the bottom of her heart, soaking every inch of her skin with this sweetness.
She felt as if she was on a dreamy cloud, light and dizzy, unaware of the why.
My foster-sister was right; Jiang Mo does like .
He really likes .
Boom!
A nearby house plunged into a sea of flas under the impact of an oil barrel.
Ran Qingchen snapped back to her senses, only to find herself tightly held in the man’s arms.
"Wife, just do as I told you, okay?"
Jiang Shouzhong said.
Ran Qingchen subconsciously nodded her head, took the map from the man’s hand, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him, "You must be careful, never overdo it. If sothing happens to you, I..."
"Don’t worry, I won’t make you a widow."
Jiang Shouzhong kissed the woman on the forehead and headed towards the direction outside the city.
"Husband!"
The woman suddenly called out to him loudly.
Jiang Shouzhong turned his head back.
Amidst the ruins and rubble, the figure of the woman stood out, her dress gently fluttering, like a valley lily blooming resplendently in desolation.
"I... I like you too!"
Ran Qingchen’s emotions burst like a river breaking its banks, completely releasing everything held inside.
Jiang Shouzhong was taken aback, then smiled and said: "I knew it, how could any woman not be utterly chard by such a handso and dashing man like ?"
"Show-off!"
Ran Qingchen laughed through her tears.
As she watched the man walking away, Ran Qingchen’s lips continually curved upwards.
The heavy burden and constraints that had weighed on her heart vanished in that instant, replaced by an unprecedented sense of relief.
There’s nothing happier in the world than liking soone, nothing more blissful than being liked by soone else.
The sweetest thing, though, is when both people like each other.
Ran Qingchen felt a bit regretful.
It’s a pity my foster-sister isn’t here; I really want to share this mont with her.
...
Jiang Shouzhong swiftly made his way to the outskirts of the city, encountering rebels and refugees along the way.
At this mont, the people still didn’t realize what was happening, thinking it was the army of Nanjin Country assaulting the city.
Jiang Shouzhong arrived at a secluded spot and lay on the ground.
To confront an army with his current strength was clearly impossible; he could only summon the Demon Venerable, who had stronger cultivation.
He hadn’t summoned the Demon Venerable while entering the underground palace, partly because he still didn’t trust her and partly because he thought she would just try to take the amber bead and ignore everything else.
Leaving behind his severely injured self, he couldn’t possibly help Ran Qingchen and the others.
The higher the cultivation, the more self-centered a person is.
The Demon Venerable was no exception.
Now, he had already let the Rat Demon hide the amber bead, which could be used as a trade to get the Demon Venerable’s help.
As the Water Moon Dream Mirror appeared, the white-haired Pie King appeared.
The mirror’s surface rippled, her moon-bright, pristine long hair gently wrapping around her flawless body, like the first thaw’s snow on a winter morning, alluring in pose.
"Yo, not bad, you’ve beco a master of Heaven Desolation Boundary," the Demon Venerable teased in surprise.
Jiang Shouzhong looked straight at the woman in front of him and said, "I have obtained the amber bead, but it’s not on . Now, I need you to help with sothing, to deal with the army outside."
Jiang Shouzhong briefly explained the situation.
The Demon Venerable listened and then narrowed her eyes, coldly sneering, "Jiang Mo, playing tricks with the Venerable, huh?"
"I just hope we can trade fairly."
Jiang Shouzhong said calmly.
"Trade? You think you are worthy!?"
The Demon Venerable suddenly stretched out her hand, swiping at Jiang Shouzhong, her fluttering white hair as if driven by an invisible wind, wildly waving, like the galaxy pouring from the heavens."
The ripples in the mirror slowly spread, circling out towards all directions.
The woman’s eyes suddenly turned red in that instant, like two blazing fires, filled with intense killing intent.
Jiang Shouzhong was completely unfazed, quietly watching her.
However, just when the woman’s hand was an inch away from Jiang Shouzhong, it stopped and then was withdrawn.
The Demon Venerable suddenly changed from her previous domineering and furious deanor, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents, smiling and saying, "Little brother, you’ve grown bolder, making it hard for your sister to even scare you."
Jiang Shouzhong calmly said, "With your age, you could be my grandmother."
