Chu Yi was speechless.

"You really know how to flatter yourself. You are over 300 years old and you still want a group of 18-year-olds to pamper you. Is your face made of dough? You can be as thick as you want."

Zhu Jiu touched his soft face and found it was not thick.

"I'm not just doing this for myself. Other senior brothers have given me a lot of good things, including high-level spiritual tools, precious talismans, and top-grade elixirs. Second senior brother, you are the second in line, but you only gave me those ordinary elixirs. It's a loss to your reputation."

She counted on her fingers and spoke very convincingly, as if it were really true.

"Really?" Chu Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at her sideways when he heard that.

Zhu Jiu nodded seriously.

"Bullshit, it's still unknown whether you can enter the sect, which fool would give you a welcome gift? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Chu Yi ruthlessly exposed Zhu Jiu's lies.

Ok.

It is true that I have been cheated so many times that I have grown a lot. I will no longer be cheated out of all my family wealth in a few words.

Zhu Jiu leaned against the wall in despair, with his head down, "Well, it turns out that I am not worthy."

Chu Yi sneered: "You don't deserve it in the first place."

Zhu Jiu had a sad face and did not refute. He just sat in meditation and regulated his breathing weakly.

The rest area became quiet.

Chu Yi sneered, haha, nothing more than that.

He walked towards the next floor, frowned after taking a step, and glanced at Zhu Jiu, whose face had become even paler.

Just give up like that? It's not like Zhu Jiu to be so timid.

I feel very uncomfortable, but never mind, what does it have to do with him?

He took two more steps and turned around to see her sitting alone in the corner, looking miserable and devastated.

Chu Yi felt weird and uncomfortable.

I can't figure out the reason, so I can only attribute it to the fact that my moral bottom line has been raised recently and my personal quality needs to be improved.

Forget it. Why should a teenager like him argue with an elderly person? Isn't this just bullying the elderly?

Thinking of this, his brows relaxed and he threw ten bottles of Huiling Pills and Yuxue Pills to her.

Meeting Zhu Jiu's slightly confused look.

Chu Yi raised his chin proudly, "This is a reward for you. Remember to keep climbing up and don't disappoint me, humph."

Seeing the gratitude in the other party's eyes, his anger finally dissipated, and he walked away with his back straight and his mind clear.

Suddenly I feel that it is quite nice to reward others occasionally and enjoy their admiration and gratitude.

After Chu Yi left, Zhu Jiu's face was no longer pale, his kidneys were no longer weak, his arthritis was cured, and he stood up in an instant.

Xingjun: "He probably thought he was pretty handsome just now."

Zhu Jiu: "I think he's pretty handsome too."

Little tsundere, gullible and cute.

If you change your tactics, you will still be fooled.

"Let's go and meet the next male guest."

"Oh, you mean your little dessert brother."

Zhu Jiu gritted his teeth and no longer had the urge to drink the blood of the Upper Moon as before.

……

At this time, the disciples in the rest areas on each floor were in an uproar again.

The man who wanted to make a bet rubbed his eyes three times and couldn’t believe that Zhu Jiu and Chu Yi reached the 75th floor together.

The disciples gasped, their expressions uncertain.

"It's over. I really encountered someone who is pretending to be a pig but is actually a tiger. This person is definitely an expert among experts."

Super, they were like clowns for mocking her crazily before!

"I give up. This year is the Year of the Horse. There are dark horses everywhere."

"Instead of envying others, it is better to please yourself. We are also horses, cows and horses. It will be much more comfortable to think about it this way, right?"

"…Comfortable, Dad."

Bai Wuchang was also very surprised. She had been flattering Zhu Jiu just for the sake of irritating him, and she had never thought that the other party was really that powerful.

Bai Wuchang's eyes flashed with deep thought, and he turned to ask the man before, "Do you still want to make the bet we made last time?"

"...beat your father." The man was very angry and crazy.

"Tsk." Bai Wuchang gave up with regret, and raised his arm to finish off the opponent: "By the way, don't forget the harsh words you said publicly before. When Junior Sister reaches the 80th floor, you have to run naked on the Sect Master Peak at night."

"..."

As expected, in the world of cultivation, one must guard one's morals, talk less, and practice more.

Otherwise you will just become a passerby who adds to the atmosphere.

Everyone showed excited expressions. It was hard to see others rising, but who wouldn't like to see classmates running naked?

……

Zhu Jiu controlled the time to pass the level even more slowly, taking a long time on each level. She encountered the waxing moon on the 80th level.

She sits cross-legged on the waxing moon, practicing Qigong. Her figure is as slender as a bamboo, with silver hair, snow-white skin, a cool jade face, and translucent skin, just like a cold and unmoved Guanyin.

Compared to the last time they met, his tone was colder and more monotonous, his emotions were colder as ice, and his eyes were more cruel and ruthless.

Only lip color is the only gorgeous red.

Zhu Jiu's eyes lingered on his lips and he suddenly felt a little thirsty.

Maybe it was the blood-sucking habit from the past that was causing the problem.

He was looking at her, and a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes like floating ice. He was shocked that it was Zhu Jiu who appeared here. He thought it would be Chu Yi.

Yue Shangxian then took a look at the ranking of floors. Qiqi and he were both on the 80th floor.

Isn't she... in the middle stage of the fusion stage? The eightieth level is the trial of the Void Refining Stage.

If she could advance to this level in the Gewu Tower, it shows that Qiqi is really strong and everyone underestimates her.

The thought flashed through Yue Shangxian's mind in an instant, but did not cause any ripples.

It has nothing to do with him after all.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent, treating Zhu Jiu as air.

This time, Zhu Jiu didn't pretend like he did before, mainly because he didn't even look at the waxing moon.

The smell of blood was dissipating in the air. There were no real flesh and blood monsters in the Gewu Tower. They were all manufactured puppets, so he was injured.

Zhu Jiu made small talk, "Fourth Senior Brother, are you injured? Do you need any medicine? Second Senior Brother just gave me a lot."

The west wind blew, the autumn leaves fell, and the crescent moon ignored him.

"..."

Xingjun: “It’s difficult.”

Zhu Jiu: "It's difficult."

"If you hadn't used Yue Shangshuang's body before, Yue Shangxian probably wouldn't have talked to you at all." Xingjun felt a pain in his heart.

Zhu Jiu: "...homework."

Xingjun became obedient.

The training room was awkwardly quiet, and Zhu Jiu was also stubborn. The colder the rising crescent moon became, the more cold and indifferent she became, the more fiercely the fire in her heart burned.

She took a few steps towards the crescent moon, but when she was still five steps away, a sharp icy spike suddenly stabbed in front of Zhu Jiu's feet.

It was right next to her toes, and the cold air instantly infected her body.

The ground in the rest area was damaged and then immediately recovered. The icicles that refracted the cold light also gradually turned into blue-white spots and dissipated.

Zhu Jiu stretched out his hand and caught the cold air.

The moon didn't even open its eyes, and its voice was like hail, extremely cold, "Shut up and stay away from me."

Zhu Jiu: “…”

No, where is the person who cornered him in the cave some time ago and said she liked her?

Is this a person?

Zhu Jiu took a step back and sat opposite him, resting his elbows on his knees, supporting his face with his sideways gaze at him, a cunning light in his eyes.

She said: "Fourth Brother, I used to be a loyal follower of you and Zhu Jiu."

Actually, they are CP fans.

This time the crescent moon was not as cold as ice. He lifted his elegant silver eyelashes and looked over.

Those silver eyes, washed clean by ice and snow, seemed to be dragged into the depths of a snowy lake when being stared at.

A chill in the heart.

He didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he didn't object.

Zhu Jiu smiled and explained, "I have seen her in Baisui City. Even though I am not on the right side, I have to admit that she is stunningly stunning."

"I saw you again in Jiuqu Shuozhou later. At first sight, I felt that you two had a very compatible temperament and look. You were simply a perfect match."

The eyes trembled at the waxing moon, as if seeing a warm glacier.

The change in his expression was much greater than when he saw Qiqi running to the 80th floor.

Zhu Jiu sighed sadly, hesitating to speak, shaking his head and smiling bitterly, "Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it, things are different and people have changed, and everything is over. I was presumptuous to say these words today, I hope Fourth Senior Brother will forgive me."

The waxing moon looked dull, and it was obvious that the air pressure was very low.

A month and a half has passed, and the bloody incident is still fresh in our minds.

When he closed his eyes, on one side of his mind was Zhu Jiu's hot breath, on the other side was her evil eyes and words when she pushed him into the cliff; on one side was the fiercely burning black ember flame, on the other side was the soft temperature of Zhu Jiu's body.

Countless flashbacks intertwined, turning into monsters writhing in his mind.

And he stood numbly in the middle of the scale of love and hate, with reason and emotion pulling and dividing him. He was like an indifferent puppet, expressionless and going with the flow.

Or maybe he just didn't know what emotion to show.

His family was broken up and he had nothing left, and the only light he met was Zhu Jiu, who turned out to be the culprit.

It seems that there is no emotion or expectation in the world anymore.

His emotions have since solidified in the black ice, and he is like a walking corpse.

He in the cold pond never suffered from the nightmares that sometimes broke out like other people, and never teetered on the edge of going insane.

He was just dead silent, not even like a human being, doing things only because of external stimuli.

If someone attacked him, he would fight back; if someone asked him to clear a level, he would do so; if someone asked him to practice in the cold pond, he would never stop for a moment.

He stood in the corner, alone and lonely, without cursing Zhu Jiu or remembering his relatives.

The first time Zhu Jiu saw him, he knew that Yue Shangxian's heart was dead and he could not sense any life in him.

This is more dangerous than being possessed by a demon because he is committing slow suicide.

It is very likely that one night when you feel empty, you will stab yourself on the top of your head.

Zhu Jiu wanted to arouse his emotions, even if it was pure resentment.

She lowered her eyes and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Senior Brother. Jue Ya has many methods, as well as various super-sacred artifacts and ancient sacred artifacts. As long as the method is correct and everyone works together, Zhu Jiu will definitely pay the price for what he did."

The waxing moon was indifferent. If she died, he would never return home, and his sister's soul would never return.

It's all in vain in the end.

Seeing that it didn't work, Zhu Jiu could only change direction, "Don't you want to know why she did such a cruel thing? Don't you want to ask her why in person?"

Yue Shangxian spoke coldly, chilling her bones, "She said that evil cultivators kill people based on their likes and dislikes, without so many reasons."

"It's come to this, there's no need to ask."

Zhu Jiu: “…”

I've never seen such a generous victim.

She tapped her knees anxiously with her fingertips and added, "You should avenge your dead relatives. They had great lives, but they were all ruined by Zhu Jiu, and she is still at large. Who can tolerate this? Who wouldn't hate him?"

The crescent moon drooped my eyelashes, and a sparse flash of light passed by, like tears from the ocean shattering on my eyelashes.

Perhaps it was because Zhu Jiu was too serious and sincere, he rarely spoke and revealed his inner thoughts.

"Perhaps the reason why I am still here is because of my obsession with her. As long as she is still here, I seem to have a mission that must be accomplished."

He had to kill her before he could die.

Zhu Jiu understood what he meant and was shocked. Yue Shangxian was not numb, he had lost the will to live.

As long as she is here, he won't die, but...what happens after she dies?

Zhu Jiu rolled his throat and said, "Didn't you contract with the Demon Abyss? If you die, the Demon Abyss will lose control, and the demons will enter the Nine Netherworlds as if they were entering an empty land."

The waxing moon floats towards my sight, lifeless like the last look of an old man at the yellow sky.

"Letting someone who has nothing and no desire to stay guard the Demonic Abyss is a fallacy of this world. It has nothing to do with me."

What I mean is that it doesn’t matter what happens to the Demon Abyss.

Zhu Jiu stared at him seriously, "You won't."

Moon raised his eyes, "Why?"

Zhu Jiu: "Otherwise the Demon Hunter Guild would have been rebuilt by now."

Gu Yixiao told him that it was because Yue Shangxian disagreed and released the demons to teach that group of guys who were ready to make trouble that the restoration of the contracted demons was prevented from happening.

He said cruel words, but his natural instincts still pushed him to do the right thing.

This may be a kind of tragedy. People don't love this world, but they can't hate it completely. They don't want things to develop in a deteriorating direction, so they do what they should do while being exhausted physically and mentally.

The waxing moon was silent, with a hint of fatigue in its eyes.

Zhu Jiu didn't know how to comfort him. A swelling and bitterness flashed through her heart, and she finally realized one thing: handing Mo Yuan over to him without his permission was just wishful thinking and selfishness on her part.

She never asked him if he was willing, she just confirmed that he would do it as expected.

Zhu Jiu lowered his head and brushed his hand across his forehead to hide the fleeting guilt in his eyes.

With a compensatory mentality, she asked: "What do you want to do most now?"

She thought that if she didn't want to bear the burden of the Demon Abyss, she could go through some trouble to change hosts.

Or, he wants to break through the Mahayana stage as soon as possible to seek revenge on her?

The past cannot be changed, but she can have a little influence on the future.

But the cold and crisp sound of the crescent moon fell quietly in my ears, like the sound of a Zen chant ending, lingering in the ears until it faded away.

"I want her to kill me."

Zhu Jiu was silent for a long time because of this sentence. After a while, he asked in a hoarse voice: "What you should think about is killing her."

Moon on the Horizon shook her head calmly, "I can't find her, but she can always find me."

"She likes my blood, my looks, or she likes to play with me."

"It will be all right."

The icy jade-like face of the crescent moon was slightly lowered, sacred and spotless, completely contrary to his words.

"It will eventually appear. It doesn't matter who kills whom. One of them will die."

Unlike now, he is living like a dead man.

Zhu Jiu pursed his lips with difficulty, "What if she appears in front of you now?"

The rising moon glanced at her, cold but empty, without paying any attention.

He would not think that the strange person in front of him was Zhu Jiu because he did not have the Gemini sense.

He had a blank expression on his face and said coldly, "I can hate, I can love, I can get entangled, I can be paranoid."

But she was not there, so the emotional floodgates were always closed.

"I'd rather live like that."

Yue Shangxian's mind flashed back to the scenes of his time with Zhu Jiu in Jiuqu Shuozhou, when they kept their skin pressed against each other's, hugged each other intimately, and slept on the same bed together.

If it's all fake, why not let him perish in such false warmth.

At least he will have the feeling of being alive.

……

Zhu Jiu found that she had failed in guiding the Moon to the Upper Crescent. The other party had thought very clearly and had a clear mindset, and did not need her to intervene at all. Now she had been dragged into it, and she was not very happy.
