The Substitute Female Supporting Character Sees the Bullet Screen

Chapter 42

Gu Jiang had already grown accustomed to the constant burning sensation within his body. However, at this moment, the intensity of that burning suddenly increased. His movements paused as he subtly began to adapt to the new heat, adjusting his body temperature.

He picked up a damp cloth prepared nearby to wipe his hands and then cleaned the grease off Nie Yinzhi's face, speaking in his usual slow, deliberate tone, "Don't you want me to make you more powerful and let you live longer?"

"By draining yourself like that? I certainly don't," Nie Yinzhi shot him a glance, taking the cloth from him to wipe her face in front of the mirror. "Besides, cultivation ultimately depends on oneself. It's not something that can be achieved just by infusing spiritual energy." If it were that simple, she would have tied the demon lord by her side all the time, using him as a spiritual energy diffuser to constantly nourish herself.

During the time in the Blade Forest, her leap from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage was largely due to her compatibility with her life sword, which was a sword with a spirit.

Gu Jiang propped his chin on his hand and smiled, "Then ask me for something else, too." As he spoke, he noticed Nie Yinzhi taking out her rouge box to touch up her makeup. His fingers twitched, and an invisible force lifted her mirror.

Nie Yinzhi glanced at him, surprised that the demon lord would make such a request. She seriously reflected on whether she had asked him for too little. From the moment he was summoned, hadn't she been constantly asking him to do this and that? Previously, many of her requests had been met with his indifference!

From outside the window, someone with a loud voice exclaimed in surprise, "Look, a huge cloud has suddenly appeared in the sky!"

In Wucheng, a place known for its dry climate, clouds were a rare sight, let alone such a sudden formation of dense cloud clusters.

Nie Yinzhi bit her lip, feeling a bit unreasonable as she said, "Can you stop liking me for now?"

Gu Jiang was taken aback, his eyes revealing genuine confusion. "When did I ever say I liked you?"

The loud voice from outside continued, "The clouds are growing even denser, and the wind can't disperse them. Could it be about to rain? It doesn't look like rain clouds, though."

Nie Yinzhi was speechless for a moment. She finally understood that Gu Jiang had no idea why her blood had suddenly become more effective for him. "Never mind, just think of something else and restrain yourself. If this continues, the Wuliang Sect will definitely notice the abnormal spiritual energy here."

"Are you full?" Gu Jiang suddenly asked.

"Yes, but you..." Nie Yinzhi was pulled up and taken outside by him. "Wait, we haven't paid the bill yet." She hurriedly took out a spirit stone from her purse and placed it on the table.

In the next moment, she was grabbed around the waist and disappeared from the spot. Gu Jiang traveled by wind, compressing distances with each step, and in the blink of an eye, they were back at the inn where they were staying.

Nie Yinzhi was dizzily placed on his lap when he said, "Let's take advantage of the time to kiss a little."

"???" She quickly covered Gu Jiang's mouth, hesitating for a moment. "Wait, I need to rinse my mouth first." After all, they had just eaten such greasy food!

Gu Jiang: "......"

After being pulled by Nie Yinzhi to wash and rinse together, and then holding a fragrant tablet in their mouths for a while, the impulse in Gu Jiang's body had subsided significantly, and he was almost free from those worldly desires.

Nie Yinzhi gathered her hair up and leaned against him, her breath fragrant, "Do you still want to kiss?"

Gu Jiang hooked his hand around the nape of her neck and pulled her down. Nie Yinzhi first rubbed against his lips, "I want to use empathy."

"Mmm, as you wish, as long as you're not afraid of the pain."

When Gu Jiang kissed her, it was truly without any technique, sucking and licking, his Adam's apple moving as he drew the moisture from her mouth. His narrow phoenix eyes half-closed, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Through empathy, Nie Yinzhi could feel that the Heavenly Wrath he was bearing had weakened. For a moment, he was accepted by the heavens and was no longer rejected and oppressed. So, it wasn't necessarily her blood; any of her bodily fluids could work, though the effect was not as strong as her blood. However, as soon as she pulled away, the pressure would return.

While they kissed, the Heavenly Wrath dissipated, but her blood burned even more fiercely for Gu Jiang.

If any righteous cultivators had noticed their trail at this moment, they would have found that the direction they were heading was getting farther and farther away from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

Nie Yinzhi had changed her mind at the last moment. She wanted to find a place to continue her seclusion and study the derivative technique of the "Seal Seven Emotions" symbiotic curse.

Before resolving the issue of her blood harming Gu Jiang, Nie Yinzhi had no intention of entering the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

Although Gu Jiang had casually brushed off her concerns, and it was evident from their time on Pill-Forming Peak that the Demon Sealing Seal had little effect on him, back then, her blood hadn't yet interacted with him. If they were to enter the Ten Thousand Demons Cave now, her blood, coupled with the heavenly might and the Demon Sealing Seal, could potentially amplify the effects, leaving him drained.

So, let Feng Hanying wait a little longer.

Gu Jiang, thoroughly worn out by her antics, finally gave in, "Fine, whatever you say is fine."

After half the night had passed, Gu Jiang finally stopped. He then swept his hand across a struggling forest, and a gap opened in the barren woods. Nie Yinzhi heard the sound of a waterfall and could feel the moist air with every breath, a vast improvement over the climate of Wucheng.

They had arrived at a valley, which housed a small wooden house. Intrigued, Nie Yinzhi asked, "So you weren't just wandering aimlessly? How did this small secret realm come to be here?"

Gu Jiang gave her a gentle push from behind, "Go in first."

"Wait, Gu Jiang?" Nie Yinzhi quickly turned around, but the secret realm had already closed before her eyes.

She stood bewildered in the forest, with a modest waterfall cascading into a deep pool below. Towering, dark green yunshan trees surrounded the pool, and about a hundred steps away stood the wooden house.

Nie Yinzhi looked up and saw the long-awaited comments.

[What's going on? Why haven't they entered the Ten Thousand Demons Cave yet? CEO Feng is probably tapping his feet in impatience!]

[Is the righteous path just for show? Why aren't they following the script? Does Nie Yinzhi have some kind of precognitive ability?]

[I get it, this drama could be renamed "The Demon Lord's Endless Wait." Are they going to drag it out until the finale before entering the Ten Thousand Demons Cave?]

[No, no, I think it should be called "The Redemption of Feng Shen."]

Actually, I'm a bit scared. Nie Yinzhi and Gu Jiang have messed with all the named characters from the original story, and only Xiao Ling is still alive thanks to her protagonist halo. Now it might be Feng Hanying's turn, especially since even Feng Hanying initially thought his master would kill him.

The comments were way too chatty. Couldn't they focus on what Gu Jiang was doing outside?

Outside the secret realm, Gu Jiang turned back toward the depths of the barren forest and said, "Han Jing, come out."

A man emerged from behind a withered tree, bowing respectfully, clearly flattered, "I didn't expect the senior to recognize me."

"I recognized your sword aura," Gu Jiang replied. The Mystic Soul Sword was the foundation of the Cloud Scripture Sect's protective mountain array. Gu Jiang had exchanged a move with the sword aura in the array, so he naturally could identify the most powerful sword aura within it. "Why have you been following us since the Cloud Boat?"

Han Jing looked up at the sky with a pained expression, "I'm about to face my tribulation."

Gu Jiang chuckled lightly, "Congratulations."

Yinzhi: Why aren't the comments checking out what the demon is doing?

Comments: Even VIPs want to see that!!
