The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 822 - 392: Kiss (2)

Gu Jianlin gazed at the woman’s back. Her elegant coiled hair was tousled by the wind, and her hem flapped wildly in the breeze. Despite her slender and fragile frame, she stood as unwaveringly as an immense stele.

The President is probably this kind of person, an unrivaled king in human history.

A king does not need to be understood by others, as long as they bear the responsibilities of a king.

She would rather the world betray her than she betray the world.

"I won’t."

Gu Jianlin shook his head and said expressionlessly, "I won’t leave. I will stay here. You Ying Group has been watching the Divine Ruins for so many years, surely because of the Red King’s plan. I want to find out what’s really in the ruins. If possible, I’ll use that thing to extend the President’s life."

"Of course, you can also forcibly take me away, just like when you trapped me last time."

He said earnestly, "If the President ends up dying, I will feel it’s my responsibility. This will be a lifelong humiliation I can never erase, and I might as well just end it all."

Ji Zhou turned around and shot him a cold glance, her gaze as sharp as a blade.

But Gu Jianlin met her eyes without fear.

"I didn’t intend to force you to leave. Look how nervous you got."

Ji Zhou said irritably, "You’re not planning to summon that woman again, are you?"

Gu Jianlin was at a loss for words. He had indeed considered summoning the troublesome woman just now.

He didn’t want to resort to violence with the President; at least escaping through a door should be possible, right?

After all, Skylark had the power of the Candle Dragon, so escaping was certainly feasible.

"I won’t interfere with your decision, although my senior is an extremely dangerous person."

Ji Zhou snorted coldly, "I’ll give you just one month. Once you’ve played enough, come home quickly."

She waved her hand slightly, and a gust of wind blew through Tian Ding Temple.

The ancient temple became ethereal in an instant, and Gu Jianlin felt himself leaving this world.

"Senior, take care."

He suddenly said, "I... don’t want you to leave, nor do I want the President to leave."

Ji Zhou gazed into his eyes and calmly asked, "If the President dies, won’t that be beneficial to you?"

If the President doesn’t die, then no one can aspire for the highest realm of the Candle Light Law.

Gu Jianlin shook his head, "Even so, I’d rather not."

The twilight threads of light descended, enveloping the temple in a yellowish hue.

The woman in the depths of the mist was also suffused with a tint of dusk, her cold gaze uncharacteristically softening.

"Hmm."

She hesitated a moment, then said, "Got it."

With the thunderous toll of the bell, Gu Jianlin vanished from the world of Tian Ding Temple.

Ji Zhou silently gazed in the direction he left, lost in thought.

Sometime in the past, someone had said similar things to her. However, the truth proved that not everyone kept their words, and promises were mostly tools for deceiving others, easily broken in the face of personal gain.

But she knew, the words that young man just spoke were sincere.

If he said it, he would surely keep his promise.

In this world, there really were people who didn’t want her to die.

"What a silly boy."

Someone was climbing up the mountain, sighing, "Even the highest realm of the Candle Light Law couldn’t sway him."

Ji Zhou sneered, "The highest realm of the You Ying Law means about the same to him."

Huai Yin, leaning on a walking stick, chuckled, "When it comes to choosing a disciple, I’m way better than you and the teacher. Without relying on prophecies, I had my eye on this kid over a decade ago."

"If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have cooperated with me."

He sighed, "Junior brother is really going to be resurrected. I don’t know who he’ll seek revenge on first, and these old bones of mine truly can’t handle his torment. After all, I’ve been busy for two hundred years, while he’s slept for two hundred years."

Ji Zhou let out a cold snort, a faint remembrance in her eyes, "I don’t know how to face him either."

"How nostalgic."

Huai Yin shifted the topic, "What about that thing?"

Ji Zhou said indifferently, "I fed it to that kid."

Huai Yin marveled, "Then I can rest assured."

Ji Zhou narrowed her eyes, sneering, "Not only that, I added a little something extra."

Huai Yin was taken aback, "You drugged him?"

Ji Zhou turned around, spoke callously, "I knew he wouldn’t come back with me, so I prepared in advance. Since he’s going to mingle in the Dark World, he better make a name for himself first. After the Chi Resurrection, the only heir that can be chosen is that Su family girl, so she must become his woman."

Huai Yin raised an eyebrow, glared, and asked, "What about Thunder?"

"Thunder?"

Ji Zhou paused slightly, "Hasn’t that matter already been settled?"

Huai Yin was dumbfounded, "You’re forcing good people into a corner here."

"I told you to study harder when you were young, you didn’t listen. You need to refine your rhetoric."

Ji Zhou said indifferently, "In our era, men having multiple wives was very normal. The continuation of the species requires reproduction. If humanity is to survive the apocalypse, there will be a need for fresh blood to start a new era. Given his talents, the offspring would undoubtedly be excellent, so the more the merrier."

She waved her hand, as if she wanted to end this boring topic:

"For the sake of the world, he has to be a scoundrel."

After Gu Jianlin returned from Tian Ding Temple, he realized that less than ten minutes had passed.

It seemed that the flow of time in a demigod’s small world was different from the outside world.

The tea on the table was still steaming.

Senior Ji was no longer there.

He instructed the butler to bring paper and pen, recorded and organized the conversation just now, digesting the massive information.

"The fifth Supreme, Qiongqi Venerable, another Supreme born from the Third Power."

"The sixth Supreme is Qilin Venerable, an Ancient Supreme that should not have been born, a paradox within a paradox. Why should this Supreme not have been born, and what happened during His incubation? What about the mist I saw back then, swallowing countless planets, what is it?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"The inheritance path is a trap. Humanity thus gains power, but also becomes nourishment."

"Since ancient times, there has always been a hidden existence silently devouring the souls of countless Ascenders. Now, He is nearly full, meaning He is about to break free from His cage and descend upon this world."

"The five Ancient Supremes probably wanted to stop this existence... no, saying stop might be inaccurate. What they wanted to do was probably to replace it; otherwise, why did they turn against each other."

"Lastly, the Red King!"

He crumpled the paper into a ball, and threads of electric light sparked between his fingers, burning it to ash.

Light steps resonated from the spiral staircase, accompanied by a cold and delicate fragrance.

The Moon Princess sat beside him, her petite body wrapped in a towel, sinking into the sofa, her platinum short hair slightly damp.

"Did you have a guest just now?"

Her snowy delicate face flushed slightly, and she asked suspiciously, "Do you have friends in Tokyo?"

"Not a friend, but a senior."

Gu Jianlin said in a low voice, "She treats me very well, but she’s about to die."

The Moon Princess was the one who understood him the most, instantly sensing the heaviness and urgency in his eyes and expression.

One look at Gu Jianlin and one could tell he was someone with a lot on his mind, too many burdens weighing down on him, rarely happy.

"The Qilin Immortal Palace’s Divine Ruins is an opportunity. I want to take the chance, try my luck there, see if I can find a way to save her. She’s a great person and has been very good to me. I don’t want her to die."

Gu Jianlin was a man of his word and said seriously, "I need to make some preparations."

The Moon Princess, while towel-drying her wet short hair, gazed at his hard-lined profile.

Judging by his tone, that senior must be very old.

Definitely not a threat romantically.

"I’ll help you."

The Moon Princess glanced at him, seemingly casually said, "I’ve prepared all the resources and the ceremony for your ascension to the Sixth Rank. I’ve also prepared an unexpected gift for you. It’s time to teach you."

Gu Jianlin paused, "What is it?"

The Moon Princess raised her delicate chin and said, "Candle Dragon Forbidden Curse."

Gu Jianlin remembered, how he had summoned this foolish Female Sacrifice in the past as a Supreme.

By observing the Mythical State of the Candle Dragon, she grasped the Candle Dragon Forbidden Curse.

Back then, her great achievement on Penglai Fairy Island had saved her life, otherwise, she might have died.

"How are you going to teach me?"

Gu Jianlin asked in surprise.

The Moon Princess drew near his lips, whispering breathily, "Spiritual exchange."

Thump, thump.

At this moment, Gu Jianlin’s heart suddenly raced, the girl’s rosy lips becoming increasingly enticing in his eyes.
