Each of the nine dragon maidens possesses extraordinary abilities.

"Oh no, are you about to die?!"

"almost."

"No, I don't want you to die!"

Jealousy rushed over and hugged him. Lu Yueyuan's eyes flashed with golden light as he looked at Jealousy. Yes, it was still a pure red thread.

I can't figure it out, I still can't figure it out.

“I was just kidding, I was just jealous,” Lu Yueyuan said. “I’m going to meet the god who controls death, so of course I’ll have a death-like experience. Don’t worry, it’s not real death. With the Holy Emperor here, He can’t kill me.”

"really?"

"Ah."

“I…I don’t want you to die…” A jealous voice whispered behind Lu Yueyuan, “I want you to live forever, until 3.8 billion years from now.”

Chapter 104: Confession (6k)

Lu Yueyuan didn't struggle, and asked, "Why 3.8 billion years?"

Jealousy said softly, "I have read in the storybooks that since the birth of the Heavenly Dao and the emergence of all things, 3.8 billion years have passed. During this time, even the most powerful nature god perished in the Twilight Era. Therefore, the longest known lifespan is that of the Heavenly Dao. I hope you can live as long as the Heavenly Dao."

Lu Yueyuan said, "Since there is life, there will be death. The end of life is death, and the end of death is life. I am not afraid of death, nor do I resist death. Moreover, living as long as the Dao of Heaven is meaningless."

Jealousy said, "Why do you say that? There are still many good things in this world. Besides, how can anyone not be afraid of death? I am terrified, extremely terrified. I don't want to die, I want to live, so I want you to live too."

Lu Yueyuan paused for a moment, then continued, "I didn't want to die. I just think death isn't scary... Don't worry, I want to live a good life too. Just like you said, there are still many good things in this world. I'm a playful and lecherous person, so even if I die, I want to experience it properly before I die."

As he spoke, Lu Yueyuan suddenly said:

"So, if it's for you, I'm willing to continue living. Jealousy, you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Would you be willing to become my Daoist partner?"

When Lu Yueyuan said this, he acted like a thug.

His confession was swift and sudden, causing the girl who was jealous of Lu Yueyuan to unconsciously loosen her grip. Lu Yueyuan felt the girl behind him tremble, as if she had heard some incredible rumor, and then she collapsed to the ground the next second.

Then a voice of jealousy rang out, carrying a very complex emotion:

"Is...are you serious? But what about the boss...and, and I heard from the boss that you have a childhood sweetheart, I...you're joking, right?"

"No, this is no joke. You are indeed the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and I truly want you to be my Daoist partner."

Lu Yueyuan said with a smile.

To make his point clear, he even slowed down his drawing: "I discussed this with the Holy Emperor, and he agreed with my idea."

Jealousy nearly jumped up in fright: "Really?!"

Lu Yueyuan said, "Of course it's true. The Holy Emperor praised me highly and offered his blessing. If you are my Daoist partner, the Holy Emperor will descend, preside over our ceremony, and bestow blessings upon us."

This is a lie.

The Holy Emperor never said that; this Dao Companion Plan was devised by Lu Yueyuan himself.

Damn it, it was all lies, sneak attacks, and NTR!

Witnessing all this, the Holy Emperor slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Their plan was clearly to test her jealousy during this time, to see what jealousy was all about. Who the hell said he was going to confess his love to her and become her Daoist partner? How dare he deceive the emperor, using her title as the Holy Emperor as collateral? If the Holy Emperor of the Death Kingdom could descend right now, she would have dragged Lu Yueyuan into her mental space and slapped him across the face.

Just as the Holy Emperor was rolling on the ground in anger, Lu Yueyuan was still provoking him.

He continued, "You don't need to worry that I'm just playing around."

His attitude suddenly became serious, as if he were willing to risk his life for it.

"I'm serious. If you agree, from now on you will be my Daoist partner, Lu Yueyuan's other half. We will share glory and humiliation. Death will not separate us, but will only bring us closer together."

Hey Lu Yueyuan, who are you sharing glory and humiliation with?

I'm going to crush your heart, hang you up and whip you, and teach you what you can and can't say!

Knock on, knock on, knock on!

Under Lu Yueyuan's continued confessions, even Jealousy didn't know how to respond.

She answered tremblingly, "My Lord, are you hallucinating? This...this..."

Lu Yueyuan said firmly, "This is not an illusion. Jealousy has dragged me into reality... I'm telling the truth, and I hope you'll consider it seriously. If you don't believe me, you can record it using a contraption, and I'll admit it."

"Is...is that so......."

Jealousy bit her nails and circled around Lu Yueyuan. She began to panic, become anxious and uneasy, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She was clearly confused and didn't know what to do.

"You, you're telling the truth, right...? I, I don't know you, we..."

Lu Yueyuan asked, "Do you hate me?"

Jealousy shook her head: "No."

Lu Yueyuan looked up at Jealousy again. The thread between them was so bright red, almost dripping with blood. Even Ming Huaiwei and he didn't have such a red thread.

Pure love.

Lu Yueyuan smiled and said, "Then think it over carefully. I won't force you, but you have to give me an answer before I finish the painting."

"what?"

Jealousy paused for a moment.

That sounds a bit odd.

She was about to say something when she saw Lu Yueyuan, whose eyes were devoid of any color, looking over.

He still smiled gently, but his eyes revealed no emotion.

"Jealousy. It took a lot of courage for me to say these things to you. You can't keep me hanging on like this. I can feel your concern for me, but I can't just take your concern for nothing. I like being with you, so I said these things to you. I look forward to your reply, but the wait can't be forever."

Lu Yueyuan's attitude was completely different from when he confessed his love and said sweet words. Now it was more like a coup.

Witnessing all this, the Holy Emperor thought: Quickly reject him, slap him in the face, and call him a scumbag.

Anyone else would probably have already drawn the card, but Jealousy is just standing there, frozen in place.

Then the Holy Emperor saw her lower her head, her cheeks turning crimson. No, you're blushing my ass! Can't you tell she's not serious at all?

Jealousy raised her head and said earnestly, "I understand, Lord Agent. I will think carefully about what you said. Don't worry, I will give you an answer before you finish these things."

Without disturbing Lu Yueyuan's painting, she went to the side to be with her mechanical creations.

The Holy Emperor felt like he couldn't breathe.

I thought Lu Yueyuan was going to use some kind of test, but this is what he did.

If He knew that Lu Yueyuan was going to do this, He would definitely not have agreed.

What a disgrace!

This is a disgrace to His Holy Emperor!

Shared glory, shared humiliation—this is the oath the agent swore to the gods, the only proof of their commitment over a long period of time. This phrase carries an extremely high degree of sanctity and is almost never used between spiritual partners.

But has Lu Yueyuan, that bastard, lost his sanctity through repeated time cycles? He doesn't care about any of that; he'll use anything that can be exploited without hesitation.

Even the Holy Emperor had to admit that it was indeed romantic for a divine agent to say such things to another person.

But this romance is built on the trampling of the gods!!!

.........

unbearable.

This is absolutely unbearable!!

This is a matter of principle. If His Holy Emperor tolerates even this, what if Lu Yueyuan has to go to other gods to act as a executor in order to carry out a certain plan?

He was too kind and forgiving to Lu Yueyuan, to the point that he forgot what kind of god he served was.

The little girl in the room slightly raised her hand.

The fundamental issues must be corrected; He must make Lu Yueyuan realize his mistakes.

But He immediately saw that while Lu Yueyuan was drawing, he was also writing words on the ground for Him.

[Your Majesty, I was wrong.]

The Holy Emperor sneered, "Apology now? Are you kidding me? Lu Yueyuan, my favor has made you arrogant, to the point that you don't understand what you should and shouldn't say."

Lu Yueyuan could no longer hear the Holy Emperor's voice, but as if he had expected it, he continued to write on the ground with blood.

【I know very well what I should say and what I shouldn't say. Rest assured, Your Majesty, the only one who truly shares my glory and humiliation is you. Once everything is over, you can do whatever you want.】

"Hahaha, so you're even saying things like that to beg for mercy?"

[In the matter of jealousy, I confirmed one thing: she knew a lot of things, and the love she felt for me couldn't possibly be so pure. There was definitely something wrong with her.]

However, she gives me a vague and ethereal feeling. Even though I know there's something wrong, I'm still confused, and I'm not even confident I can deal with her.

This is what my intuition tells me.

If I lose, Holy Emperor, I hope you will love me as always and stay by my side.

These were the last words Lu Yueyuan wrote.

The Holy Emperor sighed softly and lowered his hand.

"To walk with you...this is the relationship between gods and their agents..."

After finishing his message to the Holy Emperor and confirming that the Holy Emperor would not make any further moves, Lu Yueyuan continued to draw diligently, using the painting to cover up his message to the Holy Emperor.

In fact, Lu Yueyuan also knew that the phrase "shared glory and shared humiliation" should not be used to express jealousy.

To say such sacred words to others is taboo for the gods.

But Lu Yueyuan believed that the Holy Emperor would not do anything.

Through the long simulation, Lu Yueyuan had come to understand the gods quite well. Among them, he understood the Four Gods and the Holy Emperor the most. He understood the Four Gods because he was already in the Nine Peaks Sect and had to learn about them due to the needs of the struggle. As for the Holy Emperor, he learned about him because Pride was always shouting when fighting the Seven Deadly Sins and Pride, and with the system's explanation, he also learned about him.

The Holy Emperor is the most benevolent god, but also the most ruthless. His choice of Lu Yueyuan as his proxy means that they are essentially the same.

Since they are essentially the same, then the Holy Emperor is also a god who can use anything to achieve his goals.

Moreover, although Lu Yueyuan heard the Holy Emperor yelling "Are you fucking trying to piss me off?" every day, the Holy Emperor didn't actually care about it. He had absolute trust in Lu Yueyuan. This trust might have come from his observation of Lu Yueyuan, or from something else. In short, this guy wasn't worried about Lu Yueyuan pissing him off at all, and he didn't believe that Lu Yueyuan would do such a thing.

If He truly cared, He wouldn't have chosen Lu Yueyuan as His proxy in the first place.

Of course, it's also possible that the Holy Emperor is bearing a heavy burden. After all, He was exiled, and most of His powers were sealed by the Dragon Vein. Perhaps He was just using Lu Yueyuan to break the seal, and then killing him to end it all? Whatever He thought, Lu Yueyuan didn't care. He only knew that as long as the Holy Emperor could kill the Four Gods, that would be enough.

His task is to deal with the agents of the four gods, the nine seals, and the companions of the four gods, and then hand over the stage of the final battle to the Holy Emperor, watching Him slaughter everyone in sight.

By then, he can retire, or rather, die without regrets.

At that time, it didn't matter whether the Holy Emperor wanted to kill him or spare him; he didn't care much.

As for the fate of the new world, I believe that it should be accomplished under the leadership of the Holy Emperor.

Whether it's good or bad doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, his work is done. If the Holy Emperor also has problems and someone wants to rebel against Him, that's someone else's job.

Lu Yueyuan just wanted to finish his work and give an explanation to himself who had simulated so many times and to the system that had been destroyed because of it.

So now, it's perfectly fine for him to coax and appease the Holy Emperor.

He would say whatever the Holy Emperor wanted to hear, and avoid whatever the Holy Emperor cared about, as long as the Holy Emperor was willing to obediently follow the plan.

Otherwise... among his many trump cards, there was one he had reserved for the Holy Emperor.

Moreover, he could also turn the Holy Emperor's joke into reality. Lu Yueyuan didn't know about the other gods, but there were two gods who would probably be willing to take him in.

One of them was a deity for whom Lu Yueyuan had served as an agent in the simulation. I don't know how that deity is doing now, nor do I know what his attitude is towards Lu Yueyuan, but if Lu Yueyuan says a few nice words, it should be no problem for him to take him back.

The other one is [True Self Emperor].

The long simulation and endless deaths allowed Lu Yueyuan and the True Self Emperor to meet countless times. He originally didn't care much about Lu Yueyuan, but the repeated deaths forced him to pay attention to this little grasshopper that kept jumping around.

On one occasion, with the help of the system, Lu Yueyuan communicated with the True Self Emperor. This is why he now dares to summon Him directly, and even dares to fight His agent in the Heavenly Venerable's home field.

However, the True Self Emperor is a nature god, and He doesn't really need an agent. If Lu Yueyuan were to seek refuge with Him, his fate wouldn't be good.

But it won't be too bad.

In short, Lu Yueyuan does not only have the Holy Emperor as an option. If the Holy Emperor deviates from his plan, he will have to use his backup methods, whether it is to use his trump cards or to defect to other gods.

He knew, of course, that the Holy Emperor understood this, but the Holy Emperor hadn't said much until now, largely because, besides liking Lu Yueyuan, he was also hoping that Lu Yueyuan would help him break the seal.

So, just offer some words of comfort.
