However, to Zhuge Ming's surprise, Dongfang Yuechu showed no surprise at all, as if he already knew what Zhuge Ming was saying.
"You don't need to apologize. You've already done so much for me, haven't you?"
Dongfang Yuechu sat up from the ground and waved his hand dismissively.
"Actually, I've always felt that choosing to join Tushan back then was probably the best decision I ever made in my life. Because of that decision, I met my best friend and the person I could gamble my whole life on."
So, Zhuge, thank you so much all this time. If I win this gamble, then we will definitely meet again!
Dongfang Yuechu stared intently into Zhuge Ming's eyes, her gaze filled with gratitude.
Unlike Zhuge Ming, who had just returned, Dongfang Yuechu had already noticed that Tu Shan Ya Ya's demon power was reduced by half when she first arrived. After a little thought, he knew that Tu Shan Ya Ya must have used the Tu Shan reincarnation and continuation of fate method.
Zhuge Ming was taken aback. He thought Dongfang Yuechu was saying that he would meet Dongfang Yuechu's reincarnation again in his lifetime, so he smiled and patted Dongfang Yuechu's shoulder.
"Okay, but don't keep me waiting too long."
"A word is settled!"
"A word is settled!"
The two exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.
"What...what are you doing...? Sister...you're not really going to...kill the stinky cockroach."
Seeing these two people acting like they were going through a life-or-death separation, Tu Shan Ya Ya was speechless.
In her opinion, given the relationship between her sister and this stinky cockroach, there was absolutely no way they would actually fight to the death.
The reason she sought revenge on Dongfang Yuechu was simply because she was unhappy that he had helped the Yi Qi Dao Alliance against Tu Shan. As for whether Dongfang Yuechu or Tu Shan Honghong would die? In her opinion, that was absolutely impossible.
But things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface. The duel between the two had long since transcended the individual level and had escalated to the level of the entire race.
What they carried on their shoulders no longer allowed them to hold back; this battle would inevitably end with one side dying.
If it weren't for this, Tu Shan Hong Hong wouldn't have only thought of reincarnation as a last resort, and Dongfang Yue Chu wouldn't have sat here for days and nights with the belief that he was doomed to die.
Dongfang Yuechu smiled bitterly. If only everything were as simple as Tushan Yaya thought.
"Maybe..."
Tu Shan Ya Ya struggled to get up from Zhuge Ming's arms, steadied herself, and patted her chest earnestly.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you then... I won't... do anything to you."
"Hahahaha, thank you so much, Sister Ya Ya."
Dongfang Yuechu was amused by Tushan Yaya's appearance and burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.
"why are you laughing!!!!"
"No, no, no, Sister Ya Ya, I was definitely not laughing at you, hahaha."
"you you you……"
"Hey, Ya Ya, what are you doing?!"
"No need to wait until tomorrow... my sister has made her move, I'll send you down right now!"
........................
Zhuge Ming watched the two pairs of clowns' "performance" quietly, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
Isn't this the life he's always been pursuing? Within Tushan, the shadows of mulberry and willow trees slant as the spring festival ends, and every household helps their drunken guests home.
Zhuge Ming knew very well that although his idea was simple, it would not be easy to implement.
However, from the moment he conceived this idea, he was determined to give everything for it and was prepared to risk his life for this goal!
Chapter 132 "Duel"
The three of them made a ruckus until midnight, until Tu Shan Ya Ya, drunk and completely passed out. Only then did Zhuge Ming, with Dongfang Yuechu watching them leave, carry Tu Shan Ya Ya away.
After sending Tu Shan Ya Ya back to her room, Zhuge Ming did not return to his own room, but instead went to the Bitter Love Tree.
If Zhuge Ming's guess is correct, since Tu Shan Hong Hong is preparing to use the Reincarnation and Continue the Bond, the duel will inevitably take place near the Bitter Love Tree, because the Bitter Love Tree is an absolutely essential condition that cannot be bypassed in order to activate the Reincarnation and Continue the Bond.
"Now that I know you're coming, how can I not make proper preparations to repay all your hard work over the years?"
A cold glint flashed in Zhuge Ming's eyes, and his hand seals began to change, with array seals silently disappearing into the ground near the Bitter Love Tree...
--------------
The next day, the time that Dongfang Yuechu and Tushan Honghong had agreed upon finally arrived.
Outside Tushan, surrounded by a group of fox demons, Tushan Honghong stood on the city wall, silently watching the people of the Dao Alliance below.
"The Eastern Alliance Leader will surely prevail!"
……
Amid cheers, Dongfang Yuechu walked slowly out of the crowd with a blank expression.
Looking at that beautiful figure on the city wall, Dongfang Yuechu also felt a pang of heartache.
Decades ago, he would never have imagined that he would return to Tushan in this way.
"Come with me," Tu Shan Honghong said slowly.
Without much thought, Dongfang Yuechu instinctively prepared to follow Tushan Honghong, but just as he was about to set off, the Dao Alliance members beside him suddenly stepped forward and stopped him.
"Alliance Leader, you mustn't!!"
"Yes, Alliance Leader, if we fight within Tushan, what if those fox demons use some tricks? Wouldn't that be terrible?"
"Yes, Alliance Leader, please reconsider!"
……
Hearing the caring words from those around him, Dongfang Yuechu felt a warmth in his heart.
Having worked in the Dao Alliance for so many years, Dongfang Yuechu has won the loyalty of many people with his personal charm.
Most of those who spoke out in concern for his safety at this moment were those who had previously disagreed with his duel with Tu Shan Hong Hong.
However, Dongfang Yuechu lacked the support of a powerful family, and the only person he could rely on, Wang Quan Fugui, only knew how to practice swordsmanship and completely rejected the influence of the Wang Quan family.
This puts Dongfang Yuechu in a very awkward position within the Dao Alliance. Although he is the leader of the Dao Alliance, he still cannot make decisions on most matters. The real control of the Dao Alliance still rests with those powerful families.
Therefore, even with the help of Mingyage, Dongfang Yuechu could only barely ensure that he would not become their puppet, let alone completely control the Dao Alliance.
But in Dongfang Yuechu's view, he didn't actually need that much power. The reason he wanted to become the leader of the Dao Alliance was simply because his words carried little weight back then.
Even if he had put forward that ideal, probably no one would have noticed him, but the leader of the Dao Alliance is different.
For Dongfang Yuechu, all he needed was the prestige that came with the position of leader of the alliance. As for power, having witnessed the ugliness of human nature since childhood, Dongfang Yuechu had no interest in fighting for it, much less the desire to fight for it.
"Thank you, but I'm still going!"
Dongfang Yuechu smiled slightly and clasped his hands in thanks to everyone.
"Whether I return alive from this duel or not, I hope that everyone here can hold on to that ideal. I believe that humans and demons can coexist peacefully, and I have no doubt about it!"
"Alliance Leader..."
Looking at the radiant Dongfang Yuechu, everyone reached out their hands, but hesitated to speak.
"Relax, relax, don't be so discouraged. Okay, I'll head out first then!"
Dongfang Yuechu patted their shoulders and followed Tushan Honghong.
"Everyone, follow the leader!!!"
"Oh!!!"
One person raised his arm and shouted, and the members of the Dao Alliance responded one after another, following Dongfang Yuechu as they flew towards Tushan.
On the city wall, a Silver Moon Guard asked Tu Shan Rongrong, "Third Miss, should we stop them?"
"No, let them in."
Tu Shan Rongrong shook her head, indicating that it was unnecessary.
After all, the purpose of this duel is to force that old hag out in front of everyone. The stage has been set up, so how can it work without an audience?
"By the way, where is the Second Miss?"
"I don't know. The Second Miss and that human disappeared this morning. I don't know where they went."
Tu Shan Rongrong narrowed her eyes, and finally sighed helplessly in her heart. She could guess what most people were thinking, but what about her own "brother-in-law"? She couldn't figure him out at all.
Beneath the Bitter Love Tree in the inner city of Tushan.
Today, Tushan was not as peaceful as usual. The area around the Bitter Love Tree was crowded with people and unusually noisy.
Dongfang Yuechu stood under the Bitter Love Tree, wearing the standard robe of the One Qi Alliance. His long hair fell down, obscuring his face and making it impossible to see his expression.
Opposite him, Tu Shan Honghong clenched her fists slightly, lowered her head, and did not say a word.
Today, she specially wore the red and white dress she wore when she first met Dongfang Yuechu. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a faint worry swept across her delicate face, making her already stunningly beautiful appearance even more pitiful and captivating.
Looking at the fairy sister he had been longing for day and night, Dongfang Yuechu had a thousand words he wanted to say to her.
He wanted to tell her that he had made a name for himself.
He wanted to tell her that he had been working tirelessly for her dreams all these years.
He wanted to tell her that he was back!
But Dongfang Yuechu knew he couldn't...
--------------
Among the onlookers, a lowly demon with mediocre magical power and ordinary appearance curiously looked at Dongfang Yuechu and Tushan Honghong, tugged at the clothes of the demon beside him, and whispered:
"You idiot, why don't your sisters say anything?"
"It's not that they don't want to talk, it's that they can't talk..."
These two little demons were naturally Tu Shan Ya Ya and Zhuge Ming in disguise.
As for why they were pretending, we have to mention Tu Shan Hong Hong's determined look this morning.
"Ya'er, you are not allowed to watch this duel!!!"
Zhuge Ming probably guessed why Tu Shan Hong Hong didn't want Tu Shan Ya Ya to go, so he initially refused to let Tu Shan Ya Ya watch the battle.
However, unable to resist Tu Shan Ya Ya's persistent pleading, Zhuge Ming had no choice but to use a formation to create a small disguise and bring her over.
