Chapter 1049: Chapter 739: Are you asking me to wait for you for a hundred years?
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Ji Qiuyu fell into silence.
Indeed, had Lu Chen told her from the beginning that he was merely a puppet, she might have suspected that the puppet Lu Chen had some ulterior motives and would not have invested so much emotion in a puppet.
She certainly would not have harbored thoughts of becoming Daoist couple with a puppet.
At this moment, Ji Qiuyu didn’t know what to do; she had just spoken those words, and now if she continued to hold on to Lu Chen, how would he see her?
And with what identity should she continue to hold on to Lu Chen?
Both remained silent, and as time ticked by, after an indeterminate period, Lu Chen decided it was time to speak, “Qiuyu, I did conceal some matters from you, but my feelings for you are real, and I wish to be your Daoist couple.”
...
“However, my status is special, and my true self cannot come to Black Moon City for now. My original plan was to be honest with you when my true body arrived in Black Moon City, but I did not expect my puppet to be destroyed by an assassin.”
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Ji Qiuyu did not respond and continued to remain silent.
After another long period, Ji Qiuyu finally asked, “Do you really have to leave?”
Lu Chen said, “I stayed originally because I liked you. Now that we are not in a relationship of Daoist couple anymore, it makes no sense for me to stay here.”
Upon hearing this from Lu Chen, Ji Qiuyu clenched her fists slightly and then, gritting her teeth, asked, “When will your true body come to Black Moon City?”
Lu Chen said, “I do not know.”
Ji Qiuyu asked again, “Your puppet possesses the power of the Genesis Realm, so your true body must be very powerful. Would such a powerful being really care for someone weak like me?”
Ji Qiuyu was no fool. If the controlled puppet had the power of the Genesis Realm, then Lu Chen must at least possess the power of the Yin-Yang Realm, or even above the All Law Realm.
Such a powerful being was likely an old ancestor or a Supreme Elder of some force. Such beings wouldn’t lack beautiful women around them; how could he possibly care for her?
Hearing Ji Qiuyu’s query, Lu Chen said, “My true body is in the Yin-Yang Realm of cultivation state and is not very powerful. Moreover, in my eyes, you have never been weak. You would rather sacrifice yourself for humanity and safeguard Black Moon City. If such a brave person like you is considered weak, then those hiding behind you aren’t even worth as ants.”
Ji Qiuyu fell into silence again, lost in thought.
Her mind was a mess now; she could not tolerate Lu Chen deceiving her, yet she could not bear to see him leave like this.
At that moment, the puppet Lu Chen suddenly appeared before Ji Qiuyu. She was momentarily stunned, and before she could react, she was pulled into Lu Chen’s embrace.
“You!”
Ji Qiuyu hadn’t expected Lu Chen to do this; she wanted to say something, but the words died on her lips.
At that moment, Lu Chen whispered in Ji Qiuyu’s ear, “Qiuyu, I will never lie to you again. Can you forgive me?”
Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu’s heart began to beat wildly; though she knew the Lu Chen before her was just a puppet, her heart was still incredibly restless.
She did not respond to Lu Chen immediately, and after a while, Lu Chen again whispered in her ear, “Within a hundred years, my true body will definitely come to Black Moon City to see you.”
Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu finally spoke, “Do you mean to ask me to wait for you for a hundred years?”

Ji Qiuyu’s tone had softened a lot, clearly no longer as angry as before.
Lu Chen hurriedly said, “I didn’t say you should wait; am I not here with you right now?”
Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu snorted coldly, “Do you think I’m so easily deceived? That a puppet can pacify me and make me willingly wait for a hundred years?”
Lu Chen said, “I have no other option, my true self indeed cannot come to Black Moon City now, but once it arrives, I will surely make it up to you.”
At this moment, Ji Qiuyu pushed Lu Chen’s puppet, and since Lu Chen wasn’t holding on very tightly, the two of them separated with just a push.
Ji Qiuyu looked into Lu Chen’s eyes and said, “Are you sure your true self can come to Black Moon City within a hundred years?”
Lu Chen affirmed, “Yes, definitely.”
Hearing this, Ji Qiuyu sighed lightly, then said, “Then let us be Daoist couple for another hundred years. If after one hundred years, your true self still hasn’t come to Black Moon City, our relationship will end.”
Seeing Ji Qiuyu relent, Lu Chen quickly said, “Qiuyu, rest assured, I will do everything I can to be by your side within a hundred years.”
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Ji Qiuyu looked at him skeptically, wondering why she always felt like Lu Chen’s true self might have encountered some trouble.
If Lu Chen could send his puppet so quickly, then Lu Chen’s true self should also be able to arrive at Black Moon City in a short time. There was no reason for Lu Chen to delay for a hundred years.
There was only one possibility, that he was trapped somewhere and couldn’t leave, so he could only send a puppet.
Ji Qiuyu then asked, “Lu Chen, tell me the truth, is your true self trapped in some dire place?”
Lu Chen answered, “No.”
Ji Qiuyu reminded, “You just said you wouldn’t lie to me again.”
Lu Chen looked troubled, then sighed and said, “Qiuyu, I can’t tell you the specific reason right now. If I did, it would surely bring great trouble to you and to the whole of Black Moon City.”
“My identity is quite special, with far-reaching implications.”
Hearing Lu Chen’s answer, Ji Qiuyu’s eyebrows slightly raised.
Special identity?
Just how special?
Just as Ji Qiuyu was about to continue questioning Lu Chen, she suddenly remembered the incidents that had happened in the Zixiao Dynasty over the years.
The internal strife in the Zixiao Dynasty had been severe recently, and it was said that some of the Princes of the Zixiao Dynasty had been forced to flee and wander.
Ji Qiuyu wasn’t thinking that Lu Chen was one of the Princes of the Zixiao Dynasty, but she suspected that Lu Chen might share a similar fate to those princes, which is why he couldn’t reveal his identity.
If someone knew his true identity, it could likely invite countless assassins.
With this in mind, Ji Qiuyu decided not to pursue Lu Chen’s identity further.
At that moment, Ji Qiuyu continued to ask, “Then, the people who came to the City Lord’s Mansion to assassinate you this time, are they your enemies?”
Lu Chen answered, “No, they are assassins from the Blood Rainbow Pavilion.”
Lu Chen of course knew who had sent these assassins, but he chose not to say explicitly that they were sent by Bai Wenbin, as Ji Qiuyu might wonder how he knew.
Hearing the words “Blood Rainbow Pavilion,” Ji Qiuyu was taken aback.
Blood Rainbow Pavilion was the largest assassin organization in the Ziyang World, daring to take on any business if the price was right. They would even dare to make a move against the Emperor of the Zixiao Dynasty.
So, someone had hired the Blood Rainbow Pavilion’s assassins to get rid of Lu Chen?
