Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 448 Xiao Jiang: Believe it or not, I can recreate a famous scene?

Little Jiang the Great Demon King: ?

Yan Qiuxi: ?
No, buddy... what did you figure out after entering the Mortal World's Heart-Searching Cliff? Did you just realize that you're still suited to be a scumbag?
Xiao Jiang pointed a trembling finger at Duan Huaige and said, "Duan Huaige, what did you say... what do you mean you want it all?"

"He's possessed! Duan Huaige must have been possessed!" Yan Qiuxi said decisively, "Just now, Taiqing invaded his mortal world's illusionary realm, and must have instilled some bad thoughts in him, causing him to fall into evil!"

"Otherwise, how could he have uttered such treasonous words?"

“Everything I’ve said comes from the bottom of my heart, without a trace of falsehood.” Duan Huaige said solemnly, “Qiuqiu, Xiaojiang, I like you both, that’s an indisputable fact, and even if I’ve been putting it off, I can’t change that.”

“Before, I always thought there was plenty of time and I could delay it a little longer, but only now do I realize that some things can't wait… Hesitation only leads to more trouble! It's because of my hesitation that you, Xiao Jiang, have suffered so much…”

"What do you mean? You think I wasn't hurt?" Miss Qiu Xi jumped up and down in anger: "I'm also a victim of Green Tea Puff's current fandom!"

Duan Huaige was taken aback by Yan Qiuxi's sudden "victim's complaint." He glanced at Yan Qiuxi instinctively, his expression becoming somewhat subtle, even carrying a hint of embarrassment and...speechlessness. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something...

You call yourself a victim... You were probably all excited watching that!
His hesitant, strange expression was interpreted by Yan Qiuxi as a tacit admission and a guilty conscience, which only added fuel to the fire!
"What kind of expression is that?!" Yan Qiuxi was so angry she almost lost her temper. She pointed her jade finger at Duan Huaige's nose. "Duan Huaige! Put your hand on your heart. If I hadn't covered for you that night and not told your aunt and uncle, you'd probably have two of your three legs broken by now!"

Yan Qiuxi grew angrier the more she thought about it, especially when she thought of the illusory world of mortal inquiry, she was filled with remorse. She glared at Duan Huaige, her tone full of unwillingness and resentment:

"Damn it! If I could have fully mastered the power of cause and effect before you entered the Illusionary Realm of Mortal Inquiry, I... I could have exerted influence within the illusion! I could have made it so that only I, Yan Qiuxi, existed there! I could have made Duan Huaige love only me in this life, the next life, and the life after that! All this mess would be out of the question!"

"Let's go, let's go to the Cliff of Inquiry into the Mortal World again. This time I will make you fall back into my evil form!"

Little Jiang the Great Demon King was immediately displeased upon hearing this... Putting aside how absurd the request to have everything was, at least this way she would have a place after a lifetime of hiding... But you, Yan Qiuxi, are different. You want to mold Xiao Duan into your shape right away.

I also want Xiao Duan to belong to me alone, so why do you have the right to do that?

"So that's what you were planning! You wanted to use sorcery to bewitch Xiao Duan?! You're despicable! Shameless! Vulgar! Bah!"

"Hey, sister, do you even know who you're talking to? I've reclaimed my Daoist powers, do you even know the value of being the Lord of Cause and Effect?!" Yan Qiuxi said, rolling up her sleeves. "Come on, if I can't handle Taiqing, I can handle you!"

"Come on, who's afraid of who! My main account is itching to get down to business. I can't wait to see you kneel before me and Huai Ge again, sharing the spiritual root with Qin Shuangjiang! Yan Qiuxi, you better remember this: you were once a turtle, and you'll be a turtle for life!"

"A person who gets betrayed by their best friend and watches helplessly as their childhood sweetheart focuses on their best friend like a puff pastry has the right to call me a coward!" Qiuqiu raised an eyebrow and said, "Even if I've been a coward, I'm still not as cowardly as you! At least Ajiang didn't get any attention in front of me!"

"Are you provoking me? I'll arrest you and Qin Shuangjiang later and make sure she follows you!" Xiao Jiang roared. "I'm not joking, you two just wait until you get a spa treatment!"

Duan Huaige: ?

So, Xiao Jiang, can you really recreate that incredible moment from back then?
Sharing spiritual roots equally, rival Puff... Both of these are top-tier socially awkward moments!
He swallowed hard, feeling both excited and reluctant, but he still felt he had to offer some words of advice:

"Qiuqiu, Xiaojiang, calm down... let's talk this out..." "Shut up!" "You have no right to speak!"

Two murderous gazes instantly locked onto him, and they spoke in unison!

Duan Huaige: "..."

Well, the battlefield was in full swing, and he became the target of all attacks.

He sighed and said seriously, "Qiuqiu, Xiaojiang, stop arguing. No matter what, my feelings will not change. I know this is greedy, shameless, and hard for you to accept. But I will not give up. I will prove with my actions that I can protect each and every one of you."

"You can be angry, you can scold me, you can even hit me, but I will never take back my words. I, Duan Huaige, will never let go of what I've decided on, or the people I've chosen!"

"Pah! Who needs your proof!"

"Wishful thinking! There's no way I could ever share a spiritual root with someone as extraordinary as Yan Qiuxi in this lifetime! Not even a party!"

"It's not like I enjoy opening silver handkerchiefs with you!" Yan Qiuxi rolled her eyes.

Although the two young ladies remained defiant, upon hearing his almost "rogue" yet unusually firm declaration, a complex emotion flickered deep in their eyes.

At the Cliff of Inquiry into the Mortal World, it seemed that Duan Huaige had truly seen something. He even dared to say something so audacious.

I thought it was a choice of four, but I didn't expect... that I can't leave out any of them?
Dream on! Who am I?! The Crimson Lotus Demoness! The World-Destroying Demon! How could I share a Daoist partner with such people? Before, I could barely accept Cang Ling, but after that incident, Cang Ling no longer has that chance!

Just as the atmosphere in this chaotic scene reached a stalemate, the tension so high it seemed about to explode—

"Amitabha!"

A deep, peaceful Buddhist chant, imbued with immense Buddhist power and supreme majesty, resounded.

A golden light appeared, and several elderly monks with white beards and eyebrows, dressed in simple robes, had quietly appeared in the arena. The leading monk had a withered face, but his eyes were as deep as the sea, as if he had seen through the mortal world. He clasped his hands together, and his gaze calmly swept over the tense Yan Qiuxi and Jiang Xiyu, finally settling on Duan Huaige, who looked slightly disheveled but had a firm look in his eyes.

"The world is full of troubles, and the tribulations of love are hard to overcome. All of you are outstanding people of this era. Why let your personal feelings interfere with your important matters?" The old monk's voice carried a strange soothing power, which eased the tense atmosphere in the room.

Serious business? Duan Huaige was slightly taken aback. Judging from the results, the Zen sect welcomed the Lord of Cause and Effect, and the demoness Taiqing got what she wanted: the fragment of the Jiangshan Sheji Map... He also obtained key information about Taiqing and Kunlun Ruins.

Everyone is making money, so who is actually losing money?
