"Tsk, a woman's heart is as deep as the ocean!"
Jiang Che sighed with feeling; even he couldn't fathom a woman's thoughts.
Gu Wantang had been so contrary before, generously sending all kinds of revealing photos whenever asked, but now she had suddenly turned hostile.
Just as Jiang Che was about to give up, a picture suddenly came through from the other side!
It was... a selfie!
The girl in the photo was sitting upright and proper, dressed in a white robe at a table. Her exquisitely beautiful face showed no expression, yet a faint, almost imperceptible blush colored her pale, cool complexion.
Although it was the same person, she was worlds apart from the one Jiang Che had seen last time!
The last time, the Taiyin Mystic Maiden had been very open, full of allure, but now she was dressed like a good girl. It was hard to connect the girl before him with the succubus from last time.
"Wait! This isn't the same person!"
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes sharply, scrutinizing Gu Wantang in the photo. He compared it with the picture she had sent him last time and quickly spotted the clue.
This time, her pupils weren't crimson red. Last time, the pictures the woman sent were not only revealing, but that enchanting, captivating aura seemed to radiate even through the photo.
This time, however, her eyes completely lacked that previous seductive quality, and she was dressed very conservatively.
Jiang Che's experience told him this absolutely could not be the same person!
"A dual soul in one body? Tsk tsk tsk... I never expected marrying one would come with an extra one, heh heh heh~~~"
Jiang Che lightly licked the corner of his lips. What man wouldn't want to marry home someone who offered this kind of 'fire and ice' dual experience?
Of course, if it weren't for the Haotian Immortal Physique... even if he married her home, he might only end up dying beneath the peony flower.
But to be involved with a peerless beauty like Gu Wantang, ranked third on the Beauty List, well, one would naturally be a romantic ghost.
"So that means... the one chatting with me last time was probably Gu Wantang's alternate personality, right? But this time it should be her cold, aloof main personality. Why would she still send a picture?" Jiang Che reasoned, but he couldn't make head or tail of it.
[Beautiful! Truly worthy of a famous beauty on the Beauty List. But why were you last time...]
Jiang Che didn't finish his question, while on the other side, Gu Wantang fell into a slight silence.
How should she explain the issue of the evil soul? But if she explained it... then what would sending a picture now even mean? Wouldn't her aloof persona completely collapse?
Besides, she was a Quasi-Emperor. Her fiancé, it was said, had just stepped into the Martial God stage. She could crush him to death with a single finger.
[How fares the Mortal Realm? The Three Realms Bell of the Nine Heavens has tolled again... According to immortal divinations, it's an invasion of otherworldly evil spirits into the Mortal Realm.]
Gu Wantang directly tried to change the subject.
But once the mask of aloofness is taken off, putting it back on is difficult.
[Tangtang, are you worried about me?]
On the other side, upon seeing Jiang Che's address of 'Tangtang', Gu Wantang's face instantly flushed crimson.
As the young mistress of the Taiyin Ice Palace, blessed with an immortal physique, her talent was extraordinary. She built her foundation naturally at birth, entered the Martial God stage at fourteen, completed nine nirvanas and advanced to the Creation Realm by fifty, condensing a True Immortal Mark. She stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm at one hundred, and now, over three hundred years old, she had already reached the tenth level of Quasi-Emperor!
Such talent was an extremely terrifying existence throughout the entire Nine Heavens. And in these three hundred plus years... she had cultivated every moment. Her emotional intelligence could be considered zero, and as for romantic feelings, that was a complete blank. The little knowledge she did have was forcibly instilled in her by her inner demon, the Taiyin Mystic Maiden.
Seeing Gu Wantang fall silent, Jiang Che pressed on. Although he hadn't met this fiancée in person, relying on his powerful intuition for picking up girls, he had already guessed her character pretty well.
A dual soul in one body. The evil soul was quite the flirt, while this original soul was a standard 'dumb, pure, and powerful' type!
[The otherworldly evil spirits are the source of calamity that can annihilate all realms. If not handled properly, it could very well spread to the Nine Heavens and all realms. As the daughter of an immortal, it is only natural for me to inquire...]
Jiang Che expressed regret, [Oh? So it seems... Tangtang, you have quite a strong sense of responsibility?]
[My Taiyin Ice Palace guards the Extreme Cold Northern Domain. For generations, immortals have been stationed at the borders of the Nine Heavens to prevent the invasion of aberrant beings. Naturally, after I achieve immortality in the future, I must also go there...]
Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. Did the Taiyin Ice Palace have such a tradition?
Although the Nine Heavens were vast and boundless, they were also plagued by otherworldly evil spirits. However, the barrier of the Nine Heavens was powerful enough to protect its millions of provinces. Moreover, the immortals had heavy responsibilities; powerful immortals with vigorous vitality and energy had to guard the borders to resist the invasion of aberrant beings.
The Mortal Realm had just undergone spiritual energy revival. The Heavenly Dao was weak, and the situation was already precarious. In the future, evil spirits would certainly use the Mortal Realm as a springboard to invade the entire Nine Heavens and all realms.
It was just that Jiang Che, by fusing with the Demon Ancestor's Heartbone, had accelerated this process.
[Tangtang, with me here... I won't let the evil spirits invade the Nine Heavens.]
Jiang Che's words directly left Gu Wantang on the other side stunned for a moment. She had grown accustomed to his frivolous way of speaking. How could such words possibly come from his mouth?
[Resist the evil demons? By yourself, it's simply impossible... You have no idea how terrifying the otherworldly evil demons truly are... Even the Human Emperor failed back then!]
[The Human Emperor?] Jiang Che asked.
[Five hundred thousand years ago, the otherworldly evil demons appeared once. No one expected... the dozens of immortals guarding the borders were all corrupted and fell by the power of the evil spirits. Then the evil spirit legions quickly invaded the Nine Heavens. The casualties were devastating... Finally, the Human Emperor arose in response to the calamity. Born with a dual immortal physique, she rose rapidly, broke through in the midst of adversity, and finally knocked on the gate of immortality. She led the cultivators of the Nine Heavens to drive out the evil spirits and set up the Ten Absolute Demon-Sealing Array to block the armies of the otherworldly evil spirits. But in the end, she disappeared... most likely... she perished.]
From Gu Wantang's tone, Jiang Che could hear her reverence for this Human Emperor, as if she had turned into a little fangirl.
This girl's heart was filled with concern for all living beings under heaven.
Well then, in that case, this young master will just give you the persona of one who stands alone against eternity.
[Gu Wantang, because of our engagement... many people in the Nine Heavens think I, Jiang Che, am not worthy of you. Of course... sometimes I think so too. How can someone as worldly and dust-covered as me be worthy of someone as noble as you?]
[But since your heart holds all living beings under heaven, then I will... strive to become a hero. A hero worthy enough to be a match for you.]
To tell the truth, Jiang Che himself was almost moved to shed a few little pearls.
[You...]
[Tangtang, I am the unprecedented possessor of four immortal physiques. The Mandate of Heaven is upon me. I will definitely do better than the Human Emperor.]
Jiang Che's words gave Gu Wantang a start. That's right... Only then did she remember that her little fiancé possessed four immortal physiques. In terms of cultivation talent, he wouldn't be weaker than the Human Emperor!
But... he... is he really going to walk that path?
[If I ultimately eradicate the source of the corruption and enter the Nine Heavens, I will come to marry you openly and with honor!]
But if... we fail, the engagement is off!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1.
