Chapter 195 Past
Liu Jun stared blankly at the thing still hovering in the air.
This seems to be the first time she has seen this legendary species. It fits people's imaginations, but it also exceeds her expectations.
Liu Jun thought that if it really succeeded in its transformation, it would at most become a dragon, but he never expected it to become a divine beast.
Should she act surprised or not?
The black dragon circled in the air for a long time, as if it were adapting to the outside world, just like a newborn baby, and in fact, there was no difference.
Only when he finally lowered his noble head and saw Liu Jun floating in the air below, observing him running around, did he curiously approach and scrutinize this human who was not even as big as his nostrils.
Only then did Liu Jun realize from the image of that big eye that under the radiance of the divine beast's appearance, the illusion covering his face had already lost its effect, and the clothes he was wearing had revealed their true form.
The black dragon stared at her for a long while, seemingly confirming something, before its body dissipated, revealing a human figure kneeling before Liu Jun and speaking in a firm and resonant voice:
"Your subordinate, Geng Wuji, greets Your Excellency!"
Liu Jun felt a pang in her heart and looked at him with some confusion: "You said your surname is Geng?"
"Yes, Lord Shinji."
As far as Liu Jun knew, the ancient Yinglong clan also had the surname Geng, and they also had a pair of large black wings. These two things matched up, so that means...
The little snake who used to speak with the voice of a middle-aged man and was full of babbling 'I' was completely different from the young man in front of me, uh... dressed in black, with a solemn expression and handsome features.
However, all of this was witnessed by the group from the Mu Cang Sect who arrived late, as well as by onlookers from all directions, who were utterly astonished.
They seem to have stumbled upon some incredibly shocking gossip! ⊙▽⊙! ?
"Sect Leader, why does that person look so familiar?"
Fang Zheng was also looking into the distance... The two remained silent, as if deep in thought.
Yuan Hong squinted at the other end of the road, then stroked his long beard: "I heard that person is back, but there's been no news of him lately. Could it be..."
"None of us had the chance to see that person's true face. Only Venerable Lixia in our sect went into seclusion after returning to the sect."
As more and more people gathered, their gazes turned toward him. Although Liu Jun had many questions for him, it was more important to deal with the immediate problem first. He pulled him up and disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash, leaving the group of people still in a daze.
"!!!"
Fang Zheng immediately ordered: "Search immediately!"
"Yes!"
When they reappeared, the two were in a small alley in Sunset City.
Liu Jun cast an illusion spell on himself again and changed his clothes to a normal style. Looking at the bewildered Geng Wuji next to him, he did the same to him before leading him out of the alley. They found an inconspicuous little inn, asked for two rooms, and then set up a barrier before finally stopping.
Liu Jun is still in a state of excessive blood loss, and her spiritual energy cannot generate blood. Only a few minutes have passed since then.
Even with the pills, her blood couldn't recover that quickly, so she still looked weak.
Liu Jun found a chair and sat down, while Geng Wuji remained standing next to him.
"Speak, I'm waiting for your explanation."
Geng Wuji knelt down again, his expression somber, and said, "Tens of thousands of years ago, the Divine Master was punished, and we subordinates were also subdued one after another, but..."
Geng Wuji glanced cautiously at the person in front of him, then lowered his head again.
“The punishments inflicted on the priests are severe, but we… are only punished by having our divine souls shattered.”
“Even if the soul is shattered, it can be reassembled. A piece of my soul may have fallen into this land by accident, and it took tens of thousands of years to re-condense into this dragon. If I had not met you, I might have reincarnated countless times and still not found myself.”
"It was your blood that brought me back to life. I thought that after enduring such torture, you wouldn't... wouldn't ever see me again..."
Geng Wuji's voice trembled, and his head drooped lower and lower, as if he had suffered a great blow and lost something very important.
Liu Jun remained silent for a moment before asking, "So, it was you from the very beginning, or did you swallow it up?"
Geng Wuji looked up at Liu Jun, his expression as aggrieved as a dog abandoned by its owner: "If Lord Shensi is blaming me, I will immediately end my own life to atone for it!"
"Uh... there's no need for that."
So it was swallowed up. No wonder there was no trace of its predecessor's habits after the transformation. Moreover, it was just a transformation, and she didn't need to bleed so much to see any improvement.
Liu Jun looked up at the ceiling for a while before sighing and saying, "Get up. I want to rest. Your room is next door. We can talk about other things after I've rested."
Geng Wuji was very obedient: "Yes, Your Excellency, please rest well. I will take my leave!"
After saying that, he got up and left the room, closing the door gently, as if he had done this countless times before.
Liu Jun got up, went to the bedside, and lay down. Not long after, he lost consciousness. It was unclear whether he had fallen asleep or fainted.
These days are really upsetting. She finally managed to raise two pets, but one after another they turned into living people, and they both had quite a background. Liu Jun is almost driven to the brink of depression.
(Starry night, starry night...please don't go, don't leave me...don't leave me alone...)
In her dazed state, Liu Jun seemed to hear someone calling her, a very sad and sorrowful voice.
……
……
"Starry Night, wait a minute!"
"What are you waiting for! Master is still being tortured in the Hell of No Return, get out of my way!"
Xingye glared angrily at the man blocking her way, and immediately drew her Ghost Bone Sword, pointing it directly at him.
"Get out of my way, or don't blame me for killing you too!"
"starry night……"
Zhou Yang's eyes were filled with sorrow, and his hands, hidden in his sleeves, trembled uncontrollably from the force he used: "You... care about him that much?"
Xingye thrust the Ghost Bone Sword in her hand in another inch, her eyes bloodshot and terrifying: "He is my master. If I don't care about him, why would I care about you!"
"I'll say it again, get out of the way!"
Zhou Yang looked at her face, took a resolute step forward, and thrust the tip of the Yougu Sword straight into his heart. Crimson-gold blood soaked his outer robe, but the person opposite him remained unmoved.
Zhou Yang took another half step as if oblivious to everything, and the Yougu Sword pierced even deeper, the pool of blood on his chest spreading larger and larger, but he kept looking at her the whole time.
"Starry Night, Wujian, you can't go. If you go, you won't come back. I can't lose you."
Zhou Yang sadly raised his hand, wanting to touch her face: "Please, stay, please, please..."
Xingye turned her head to look at the hand that was half an inch away from her face but did not touch her, and she could even feel the faint warmth from the palm.
She turned to look at him again, but her eyes showed no emotion whatsoever. Instead, she suddenly let out a sneer:
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Zhou Yang's outstretched hand trembled slightly. He looked helplessly at the person in front of him, who was clearly familiar yet now felt like a stranger. In the end, a wavering appeared in his eyes.
"Starry Night, are you... still my Starry Night?"
Xingye silently watched him for a long time, her hand gripping the sword tightening little by little. Finally, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, recalled the Ghost Bone Sword, and stepped aside to pass him.
"Master, I must save you! If you don't want to cause trouble, find a place to hide."
"Never again should you see me!"
forever!
Zhou Yang, clutching his heart, collapsed to his knees with a thud, his eyes filled with sorrow, utterly powerless to stop the person behind him from leaving.
"Is he that important, so important that you'd risk your life to save him?"
"Very important"
"And what about me? What am I?"
"You...you are important too, but he is my master."
"So you just left me like this?"
I didn't abandon you, but... I never got the chance to tell you the truth.
"Heaven will punish you!!!"
Liu Jun suddenly woke up and sat up, looking around in alarm.
"Boom!"
Geng Wuji suddenly burst in from outside, rushed to Liu Jun's side, knelt down, and looked at her anxiously:
"Lord Divine Master, what's wrong! Why is your aura suddenly so unstable?"
Liu Jun stared at him silently for a long while before finally coming to her senses.
"Wuji?"
