Those years, those jokes, those scum

Chapter 356 Journey Against Immortals and Demons, Genius Never Fades (60 Extra Chapters 3) She was j

The usual ending of a story is this: the male and female protagonists defeat the villains, save the world, receive the blessings of their family and friends, and live happily ever after—but that's just wishful thinking!

Normally, if the story doesn't end when it should, it becomes a melodramatic mess. Anyway, Leng Nuan says that after watching so many dramas with A.K0527, she's rarely seen a sequel that's more exciting; just maintaining the original character's integrity is already a success.

Ah, sorry, I've gone off on a tangent. So, the current situation is that if she wants to be with A-Jiang openly, she still has a long way to go. Although their lifespan is quite long in this world.

However, this is a world of cultivation, a world where strength reigns supreme. If the master disagrees, there's a real possibility that he might actually annihilate Ah Jiang in a fit of anger.

“Actually… even if we don’t go public, I can still manage.” In the courtyard, Qin Shuangjiang listened to Leng Nuan’s analysis, hugged her arm, leaned on her shoulder, and comforted her.

Before her memories returned, she would have minded and fought for them, but now that she has finally regained them, she doesn't care so much about such formalities.

"But why don't they have any memories of you?"

"Where did you disappear to in the end?"

"Why did it only appear now?"

Qin Shuangjiang sat up, gripping Leng Nuan's arm tightly, and asked her questions one by one.

“It’s normal that they don’t have any memories of me. After all, in this time dimension, they haven’t met me yet,” Leng Nuan explained.

Qin Shuangjiang didn't ask why she could recall the warmth and coldness of her past life. What was so strange about remembering her lover from a previous life?

"Huh? What did you just say?" She thought she'd heard Leng Nuan answer the second question. But then again...

She frowned slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction in her expression; this unrealistic feeling made her very uncomfortable.

“I said, I didn’t go anywhere. I just entered ‘time travel’. And then I appeared in front of you.”

Leng Nuan sighed softly to herself. Just a minute ago, she had said she had returned to the space station. Then time was reset. It seemed that even after the mission was over, things that couldn't be exposed still had to be kept secret.

This time, for some reason, she could clearly sense and distinguish that it was not because of the power of that strange 'God', nor the system's interception, but rather the operation of the 'laws' of this world.

"Then why did you end up here?" It wasn't because she was shy, but just because she was curious.

"Cough, it really was just an accident. I didn't expect it to land there either."

"Then, what is this 'God of Light' thing?" She had a vivid memory of that flashy, strange man; she wished she could hang him up and whip him with a thousand iron spikes!

"Ah Jiang, it's getting late, you should rest." Unable to say it, and not wanting to be perfunctory, and even less wanting to lie to her, he took Qin Shuangjiang's hand and led her to the bed.

"Are you leaving?" Already lying in bed, Qin Shuangjiang belatedly realized what was happening and grabbed Leng Nuan, who was about to get up and leave, her face filled with panic. The awakening of her memories not only gave her the memories of her previous life, but also added a sense of time and space disparity of three hundred years.

She was afraid that when she woke up, the person in front of her would be gone again.

"Then I'll hold your hand and wait until you fall asleep." After saying that, Leng Nuan sat on the ground, held her hand in his, and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb, making her feel relaxed.

"Well, okay." In her dazed state, Qin Shuangjiang suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She's a powerful demon! What does she need to sleep for? More importantly, if she's going to sleep anyway, why doesn't she just sleep with someone else?!

Unfortunately, she fell into a deep sleep before she received an answer.

Seeing that she was fast asleep, Leng Nuan finally let go of her hand and left.

In this life, she hadn't experienced any major or minor injuries, nor had she suffered the loss of her spiritual root. She watched as a small blue-purple halo emerged from her palm, mentally assessing her chances of success.

Suddenly, the light in her palm disappeared. She clutched the clothes at her chest, pursed her lips tightly, but ultimately couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the flowers and plants beside her.

"Ahhhh, host, are you alright! As expected, forcibly infiltrating will still result in a backlash from the laws."

A.K0527's virtual figure came to Leng Nuan's side, frantically trying to touch her, but passed right through her.

"So, why did you have to come back?"

Normally, after completing the mission, the host could choose to remain in the small world.

The problem is that the world in this dimension has already been damaged in the original 'line', so even if the mission is completed, it is impossible to stay.

Without a medium, entering another dimension without authorization will naturally be rejected by the laws.

"Even if you're doing this for Miss Shuangjiang, you don't have to go to this extent. You two will always run into each other anyway." A.K0527 couldn't help but say, looking at Leng Nuan sitting helplessly on the ground.

Leng Nuan casually wiped the blood from her mouth with her sleeve and said slowly, "What if we don't meet in the next world?"

After completing the mission, she still had memories of the previous worlds, except that her emotions were isolated. Moreover, so much time had passed, and the systems still hadn't been able to decipher the basis for this.

What if she didn't meet him again in the future? She just didn't want to gamble with this uncertainty. She had to do something.

Leng Nuan turned her head to look at the person inside the room who had been hypnotized and fallen asleep, then looked down at her own heart.

She admitted that she seemed a little reluctant to part with her Ah Jiang.

Oh, I never thought I'd end up like this. If things continue like this, is there a chance I'll one day become love-obsessed too?

Thinking of this, Leng Nuan couldn't help but laugh.

“But your body…” A.K0527 looked at him with worry in his eyes, and as he looked, a picture appeared in his mind.

Pure white snowflakes drifted down from the sky. The Frost Maiden, dressed in a red robe, cradled her dying host in the snow, weeping uncontrollably, her heart breaking with grief.

Wait a minute, it seems like doing this occasionally isn't so bad, is it?

"Stop!"

"I'm not going down that melodramatic, tragic route!" Even without her silly, idiotic system cat saying anything, Leng Nuan could guess what it was thinking.

"Is it a meow?" it asked skeptically. It seemed the host might not be able to handle this.

Even if she is punished by the law, she will fight back by any means necessary! Until she can no longer breathe!

"Sigh, host, you can only rely on yourself now. Good luck!"

However, what happened next allowed A.K0527 to witness just how "rebellious" its host was.

"Cold or warm!" Before she even opened her eyes, Qin Shuangjiang suddenly sat up in bed, then opened her eyes and looked around in a panic.

As they spent more time together, Qin Shuangjiang went from feeling anxious and insecure at first to feeling at ease later on. She also increasingly felt that the person in front of her seemed to have changed a little. But she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

"You've been here for more than half a year now. Is it alright not to go back to the sect?" Qin Shuangjiang asked casually one day.

Leng Nuan has always been a composed person, and even after the two confirmed their relationship, she wouldn't become clingy. However, now, apart from her daily seclusion time, Leng Nuan spends all her time with her, something Qin Shuangjiang finds somewhat unexpected.

But the only thing that pleased her was that this person was too polite, strictly guarding against letting emotions run wild within the bounds of propriety!

"I don't have any problem, but I really should go back."

"Are you sure you'll be okay going back?" Qin Shuangjiang was still a little worried that Leng Nuan would be implicated by her sect, thinking that she had accidentally lured away someone's top disciple.

Before Leng Nuan left, Qin Shuangjiang once again reminded her, "Leng Nuan, I'm fine. It's alright for now. Don't provoke your master."

Although she said that, she was secretly thinking bitterly in her heart.

Damn it, if I weren't currently outmatched, she would have tied him up at home long ago and wouldn't let him go anywhere. Even a hundred years from now, she'll still be no less than Lingxiaozi!

Leng Nuan looked at her, replied "Wait for me to come back," and then flew away on her sword.

"..."

Looking at that carefree, unwavering figure, Qin Shuangjiang sighed helplessly and muttered to herself, "She really is still the same old her."

However, Qin Shuangjiang, after her感慨 (expression/reflection), was unaware that her overly rational Daoist partner, whom she had spoken of, turned and knelt before her master, Lingxiaozi, and said calmly.

"Master, I wish to marry Qin Shuangjiang, the young master of the White Fox Clan. Please grant my request."

"what?"

Lingxiaozi looked at his proud disciple, then silently looked up at the ceiling and mourned for himself for three seconds.

Has he grown so old that he's starting to experience auditory hallucinations?
