"Yes, I am now the leader of the Dao Alliance. Our ideal is almost coming true."
Zhuge Ming was startled, unconsciously loosened his grip on Dongfang Yuechu's hand, and began to pace around listlessly.
"How is this possible? Decades? If you include the time before that, I've been lying in the ice for almost a hundred years! How is this possible? I clearly remember that absorbing that child's soul didn't take much effort at all, how could this be..."
Zhuge Ming was unaware that although only a few months had passed in his perception, time in the outside world did not reflect this. The reason he felt that not much time had passed was entirely because the Third Young Master had frozen his body to prevent his physical body from aging, thus preventing time from leaving too many marks on him.
Moreover, his condition at the time was very special; he was on the verge of death but not quite, and his bodily functions were completely contracted, which was why the extreme cold could seal him in.
Dongfang Yuechu noticed that Zhuge Ming's condition was not quite right, so he stopped Zhuge Ming, who was pacing back and forth, and said solemnly, "Although I don't know what you have been through all these years, and I can't see any trace of the years, now that you are back, treat your feelings well, and don't end up like me, having to fight to the death."
"A life-or-death battle? Wait, are you going back to Tushan to duel with Sister Honghong?"
Zhuge Ming was taken aback, and then he realized what Dongfang Yuechu was up to.
Dongfang Yuechu smiled bitterly and turned to look in the direction of Tushan.
"Sigh, I knew I couldn't hide anything from you. That's right, it'll be in three days."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Ming couldn't contain his anger. He clenched his fist, dodged, and punched Dongfang Yuechu hard in the face.
"Damn it, what are you doing?!" Dongfang Yuechu was caught off guard and was sent flying. Covering his face, he angrily questioned Zhuge Ming.
"You bastard! There are so many ways to prove Tu Shan's innocence, why did you choose this most foolish method? Do you think your life is only your own?"
Zhuge Ming's face was contorted with anger, and he roared at Dongfang Yuechu with a look of utter disappointment.
"Hehe, Zhuge, do you still remember my bet back then?" Dongfang Yuechu slowly got up from the ground and dusted himself off.
Seeing Zhuge Ming's angry expression, Dongfang Yuechu felt a warmth in his heart, and his anger instantly vanished. He knew that Zhuge Ming was only acting so out of control because he didn't want him to die.
"I remember, so what?"
"I've staked my whole life on that bet, but even now, I still don't know whether I won or lost."
Looking back on my life, I realize I've given everything to her ideals, but I know I can't hold on much longer. Human lifespans aren't like those of demons; they're only a few short decades.
I am not afraid of death, but I want to get that answer! That's why I chose this way, even if it means willingly facing death, I will never regret it!
She saved my life. Perhaps, for me, dying at her hands is the best end…
Zhuge Ming fell silent; the usually eloquent man was now speechless.
Despite how Zhuge Ming usually teases and belittles Dongfang Yuechu, he actually holds him in high esteem.
To abandon worldly views, to abandon one's entire life, to abandon one's own life to love someone who cannot accept one's own needs requires far more than just courage.
“You, sigh…” Zhuge Ming stretched out his finger, but eventually slowly put it down.
On this point, Zhuge Ming has no right to criticize Dongfang Yuechu.
An eerie silence fell over the air as the two stared at each other without uttering a word.
In Dongfang Yuechu's eyes, Zhuge Ming saw an unprecedented determination. He knew that Dongfang Yuechu was truly resolute this time.
"Since you've made your decision, I won't say anything more. But do you really think your death can stop those rats' plot? You should have a pretty good idea of what they want, right?"
"Yes, I know. What they want is nothing more than the legendary Tear of the Void. However, if everything goes according to my plan, then I can use this to my advantage and turn the tables on her!"
Dongfang Yuechu nodded, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He hadn't been the leader of the Dao Alliance for so many years for nothing!
“That’s true. With Fugui’er around, you don’t have to worry about the Dao Alliance after you die. But he’s really pitiful, having such a stinky little brother like you.” Zhuge Ming smiled and silently mourned for Wang Quan Fugui for three minutes.
Chapter 126 "Reunion"
"Alright, stop nagging me. Hey, if you don't go find Sister Ya Ya soon, I'm going to knock you out!"
Dongfang Yuechu smiled freely, urged Zhuge Ming on, and pointed down in the direction of Tushan Yaya.
Zhuge Ming was startled and slowly turned around. The little fox demon hiding in Tu Shan Hong Hong's arms below was the person he had risked his life to see many times.
"Yaya~"
Upon actually seeing Tu Shan Ya Ya, Zhuge Ming's emotions became extremely unstable, and his voice became hoarse. He subconsciously took a step towards Tu Shan Ya Ya, but then slowly withdrew his foot.
So many years have passed since he last left this little fox spirit. Over the years, he has thought about returning to her side every moment, but now that the moment has come, Zhuge Ming hesitates.
"What's wrong with you? Hurry up and go!"
When Dongfang Yuechu saw Zhuge Ming's hesitant appearance, he became anxious and wished he could kick him down.
"At the beginning of the month, do you think she'll be angry with me?" Zhuge Ming asked in a low voice, lacking confidence.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuechu almost burst into tears.
"You..., I f***ing...!!" Dongfang Yuechu clutched his chest, looking utterly disappointed.
Although he had long known that Zhuge Ming was different from normal people in his approach to relationships, he never expected that this guy's views on love would be so skewed.
Brother, you win! You truly are a once-in-a-millennium "genius," in every sense of the word!
At a time like this, you're still thinking about whether Ya Ya will be angry with you. I feel so sorry for Ya Ya. How could she fall for someone like you?
"Phew, you forced me to do this."
Dongfang Yuechu took a deep breath. He knew that nothing he said now would help this eternal oddball. He was beyond saving. Since that was the case, he shouldn't blame him for being inhuman.
"Hey, what do you want...?"
Seeing the increasingly hostile look in Dongfang Yuechu's eyes, Zhuge Ming suddenly had a very bad premonition.
Suddenly, Dongfang Yuechu stretched out his hands and brought them to his mouth with lightning speed, forming a megaphone shape. Then, drawing his energy into his dantian, he used the force of eating to shout loudly:
"Hey, isn't that Zhuge Ming?!"
How loud was Dongfang Yuechu's voice? As soon as he said this, the previously noisy area below instantly fell silent, and all eyes, both on people and demons, were focused on him.
"Holy crap!! I'm not sure yet..."
Zhuge Ming swore he now truly regretted not simply handing Dongfang Yuechu over to the Tiger and Crane Immortals back then. That guy, really…
Before he could finish speaking, a powerful demonic force erupted from below, causing the temperature in the entire Tushan area to drop by several degrees. Zhuge Ming could even vaguely see snowflakes falling from the sky.
"boom!!!"
A loud bang suddenly came from behind, and a small, delicate foot stepped out from the smoke. It was Tu Shan Ya Ya, who was in Tu Shan Hong Hong's arms just a second ago!
“Ready…” Zhuge Ming slowly uttered the two unfinished words.
Dongfang Yuechu was also startled. When he saw that it was Tushan Yaya, he knew that this place was not a good place to stay. So he didn't dare to stay for a second longer and ran away immediately!
"Damn it, you little brat, you're so disloyal!"
When Zhuge Ming saw Dongfang Yuechu running away, his lips twitched wildly. He thought to himself that Dongfang Yuechu was really disloyal.
"Ya Ya... um... it's been a long time..."
Upon seeing Tu Shan Ya Ya, Zhuge Ming's brain completely shut down. He stammered, not even knowing what he was saying. All the hundred plans he had prepared in his mind to deal with various situations were completely forgotten.
Tu Shan Ya Ya kept her head down, not saying a word, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"Ya Ya, let me explain..."
Tu Shan Ya Ya took a step forward and disappeared instantly, then suddenly appeared in front of Zhuge Ming.
Zhuge Ming subconsciously closed his eyes, because in this situation he would almost always be used by Tu Shan Ya Ya to vent his anger, so he did not think of trying to dodge.
But the small fist he had imagined did not appear. Instead, he felt a weight on his body, as if something was hanging on him, and a pleasant fragrance wafted over.
Zhuge Ming cautiously opened his eyes, and what he saw was Tu Shan Ya Ya's soft, long purple hair that exuded a faint fragrance.
At this moment, Tu Shan Ya Ya was clinging to Zhuge Ming, her arms wrapped around his neck, her head buried in his chest, sobbing softly.
"You idiot~, you're really alive...! That's great, that's great..."
A gentle breeze blew through Tu Shan Ya Ya's purple hair, lifting a strand of black hair. The setting sun shone obliquely on the two of them, stretching their shadows longer and longer.
Zhuge Ming's heart softened, and his previously bewildered hands were slowly placed on Tu Shan Ya Ya's back.
At this moment, Zhuge Ming suddenly felt that all the hardships he had experienced before were nothing. Wasn't the reason he had risked his life to come back for this moment?
"I'm sorry I made you worry. I'm back!"
Although things took a little unexpected turn for Zhuge Ming, the outcome didn't seem too bad.
————————————————————
"Hey, did I hear that right? Someone just said that's Zhuge Ming? The twin stars who were on par with the Alliance Leader years ago?!"
Below, an old Taoist priest, who was watching the two openly displaying their affection, nudged his companion next to him and asked in disbelief.
"How could that be? Wasn't that traitor killed many years ago by the former alliance leader, Lord Ba Ye, along with the heads of various clans at the time?"
His companion shook his head, denying the old Taoist's claim. After all, even if Zhuge Ming hadn't died back then, so many years would have passed and he would be as old as the Eastern Alliance Leader. How could he still look like a young man?
"That's true." The old Taoist nodded in agreement.
"That young man is clearly human, so why is he getting so close to those demons from Tushan? Doesn't he know what Tushan has been doing lately?"
Suddenly, someone jumped out and said indignantly.
"Exactly! How is his behavior any different from that traitor to humanity decades ago! Separate them!"
"Yes, separate them!"
……
The crowd gradually became noisy, and some members of the One Qi Alliance were indignant, wishing they could immediately step forward and separate Zhuge Ming and Tu Shan Ya Ya.
However, they didn't notice that after listening to their discussion, Tu Shan Hong Hong's expression behind them became increasingly strange.
These days, Tu Shan Honghong has been restraining herself. She was never a rational person to begin with, and in fact, deep down she is no different from the former Tu Shan Ya Ya.
For the ideal of peaceful coexistence between humans and demons, and for the sake of Tushan, she forcibly suppressed her true nature and transformed herself into what others wanted to see.
However, ever since receiving Dongfang Yuechu's challenge, Tushan Honghong has found that her anger is growing stronger, which is why she didn't take action herself but instead had Tushan Yaya drive away these ignorant humans and demons.
She was afraid that if she couldn't control her agitated emotions, she would lose control and cause people to misunderstand Tushan even more.
Therefore, Tu Shan Hong Hong had been suppressing her desire to take action, but now, hearing that these people from the Dao Alliance not only wanted to trespass on Tu Shan, but also dared to lay a hand on Ya Ya, the anger in Tu Shan Hong Hong's heart was completely ignited.
Her eyes quickly turned red, and she struck unexpectedly!
"You're asking for death!!"
