The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 354 - 210: Breaking the Game_2

After a few moments, the surroundings changed completely, and she found herself standing in a valley, with bright stars above and desolate ruins around her. There were whispers of insects, but not a single person in sight.

This place might be the original Spring City, just without the beautiful scenery of flowers flying everywhere as seen in the Reincarnation Formation. There’s a huge crack in the ground in the Ruined City, exactly the same as what she saw within Reincarnation. It seems that not everything that appears in Reincarnation is false.

She only glanced briefly at everything around her before shouting cautiously and hopefully: "Changtian?"

"Mm, I’m here." His voice, clear as jade striking each other, rang by her ear making her knees weak, almost bursting into tears of joy.

Ning Xiaoxian took a couple of deep breaths before stepping into the God Demon Prison.

As expected, Changtian was still leaning against the Big Pillar, semi-reclining on the Black Stone Chair—this scene was strikingly similar to the first time she entered the God Demon Prison in Reincarnation. Her body stiffened, then she took steps forward.

This husband of hers had quite a unique aura, possessing both the majesty of the Great Snow Mountain and an indifferent disdain for the world, noble and luxurious. Strangely, she wondered why she hadn’t recognized the impostor in Reincarnation based on this. Could it be that she’d spent too much time with Changtian and had gradually become insensitive to his coldness and majesty?

He watched her for a long time before saying softly, "Come here."

She cautiously approached him, then suddenly felt the world spinning, as he picked her up and placed her on his lap. Then Changtian did something she did not expect.

He actually pinched the soft flesh on her cheek and pulled it outward forcefully, not letting go even when she tried to stop him with her hands.

"Ouch—That hurts!" She cried out in pain, knowing without a mirror that her face was definitely deformed, and with his strong pinch, her cheeks must be both red and swollen.

"It should hurt!" Changtian said firmly, refusing to let her go, "Why so slow! Why did it take seventy-five reincarnations to recognize that he was a fake?!" Their relationship had grown closer, especially since Ning Xiaoxian succeeded in Body Refining—yet, that fool woman mingled with the fake for over two months and still couldn’t tell the difference between the real and fake Changtian!

How could he not be angry? Changtian’s self-esteem was severely challenged.

Just then, Pill Furnace Qiongqi also howled, "Mistress, I didn’t appear in that reincarnation, didn’t you notice?" He was about to speak further when the scene before his eyes changed, and Changtian threw him into the kitchen garden on the Fifth Floor.

Anger was unmistakable in Changtian’s golden eyes, shining like sunlight, and Ning Xiaoxian guiltily lowered her head after one glance. "I’m used to having you by my side, I didn’t think much about it... Look, in the end, that fake still shamefully failed to mimic your aura. Evil does not overcome righteousness; falsehood cannot mimic truth!"

This flattery seemed to soothe him a bit, and Changtian hummed lightly, letting go of her cheeks. She hurriedly patted his chest, "Just relax, getting angry is bad for your health!"

His face remained stern as he continued his accusations: "You actually couldn’t tell the difference between him and me!"

"Yes, yes, my fault. I won’t dare next time."

"How can you be so foolish! I watched you go through one reincarnation after another, each time struggling desperately, foolishly surviving through to the next day, only for everything to start over!" He was truly furious, seeing all she endured but unable to help, just watching her search over and over, facing disappointment, pain, and crying.

This despairing sense of helplessness was enough to drive him mad. Without him by her side, this woman was all thumbs, barely able to do anything right!

"I’m sorry!" Her voice turned into a plaintive wail. Damn it, this man was really petty, she apologized repeatedly yet he wouldn’t calm down. Speaking of which, how could that gentle imposter be him! Why hadn’t she recognized him then? It was unbelievable.

Her sincere acknowledgment finally eased the frustration building up in Changtian’s chest. Of course, this girl had suffered a lot and harbored much grievance too. His anger was largely due to his own helplessness.

He gently embraced her. Ning Xiaoxian, with her keen ability to read people, knew he had almost calmed down, so she nuzzled her head against his chest, finding a comfortable position and pressing close to his skin. This guy had a faint masculine scent, very pleasant and comforting to her.

"I heard you say earlier that it wouldn’t matter if you accidentally killed me, we’d just die together, right?" He whispered closely by her ear, his breath tickling her sensitive earlobe, and he even took the liberty of giving it a lick, making her shiver. But his words were clearly about settling old scores!

Actually, when he heard that statement, his heart was filled with warmth, wanting to hold her tight. But seeing her like this, he couldn’t resist teasing her.

"This... this..." She was a bit dazed, her speech stuttering. Any other man would be deeply moved by their beloved’s words, so why was Changtian the only one wanting to settle scores with her?

"I, as a Divine Beast, am much more valuable than a single life of yours, it’s just not worth it." He trailed kisses down her neck along her carotid artery, leaving a wet trail, "So, how will you compensate me?"

"Uh, compensate?" She struggled to hold back a moan that was about to slip out, her current state hardly conducive for thinking.

Fortunately, Changtian’s teasing stopped there. He gently kissed her forehead, sighing, "Ultimately, it was you who managed to escape on your own. You’ve had it tough." (To be continued.
