“Little Jiu, don’t!”
Hearing the affectionate call from Jun Xu behind her, Chu Jiuning, standing at the edge of the Immortal Slaying Array, curled her lips into a victorious smile.
But when she turned around, her face was filled with sorrow and her eyes were teary as she looked at the person in front of her.
Her trembling lips whispered, “Master, please don’t come…”
Jun Xu could only halt his steps and extend a hand toward her.
“Jiu’er, come back.”
She cried and smiled, shaking her head.
“Master, I know even you doubt whether I betrayed the First Immortal Sect, colluded with the Demon Clan, and stole your immortal artifact, as well as poisoned you.”
“Jiu’er, I believe in you. Be a good girl and come back to me.”
Tears streamed down her face as she smiled.
“Master, I truly did not betray the First Immortal Sect, nor did I poison you. I understand that words alone are not enough, so I am willing… to prove it with my life!”
After saying that, she closed her eyes in despair and fell straight into the Immortal Slaying Array.
“No! Jiu’er!”
Even though Jun Xu flew over at the fastest speed, he couldn’t catch anything and could only watch helplessly as his Little Jiu sank deeper into the Immortal Slaying Array.
As Jun Xu, who had once contemplated jumping into the Immortal Slaying Array, was forcefully restrained by a group of disciples, Chu Jiuning’s eyes filled with tears.
“Farewell, Master… Take care…”
As the newly appointed newborn god of the Quick Transmigration System, Chu Jiuning had been wholeheartedly focused on her career and had successfully completed eight transmigration tasks.
At this moment, as she was about to complete her ninth transmigration task, the system, Little Snowman, suddenly exclaimed, “Master, something’s wrong! The task progress is rapidly declining: 95, 80, 60, 30…”
Chu Jiuning grew anxious. “How could this be?”
Before the Little Snowman could answer her, a sudden gust of wind swept through the Immortal Slaying Array.
Chu Jiuning let out a piercing scream, her eyes turned black, and she fainted.
…
“Chu Jiuning, did you approach me just to obtain my Dragon Soul?” King of Sea, Yue Chi, stared at her with bloodshot eyes.
Her enchanting face drew closer to him, a mocking smile playing at the corner of her mouth.
“Otherwise, what did you think? Did I love you? Impossible.”
With that, she pushed the dagger in her hand even harder, piercing through his entire heart.
He writhed in pain, his features contorted.
He fell to his knees with a loud thud.
She coldly curved her lips and swiftly pulled out the dagger that had pierced his heart, its blade still coated with sticky blood.
“As a token of my admiration for your infatuation, Yue Chi, perhaps I can leave your body intact.”
He let out a bitter laugh, his laughter filled with self-mockery and sadness.
Even at this moment, he refused to believe that she had never loved him.
“If that’s the case since you’ve never cherished this heart, then don’t!”
Without further delay, he fiercely struck his own chest with a palm, shattering his heart and soul…
“No!” Startled by her own cry, she abruptly opened her eyes, realizing that it was not a dream.
No, it wasn’t a dream, but a memory. It was a recollection of her time in the third world, and the man named Yue Chi was a boss she had successfully conquered.
She sighed deeply, closed her eyes, and prepared to go back to sleep.
But the next moment, she abruptly opened her eyes, sat up, and looked around the familiar room.
Why was she still in the First Immortal Sect? Didn’t she already complete the ninth task?
Little Snowman: Uh, Master, you’re awake. I have one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?
Chu Jiuning placed a hand over her heart. “Please don’t scare me, my heart isn’t well.”
Little Snowman: In that case, let me start with the good news.
“No! You better start with the bad news!”
Little Snowman: Master, do you remember the eight tasks we completed before?
Of course!
She had successfully dealt with eight antagonistic bosses in eight different worlds.
The King of Sea she dreamt of just now was from the third world.
Chu Jiuning’s heart clenched, and she had a premonition of impending disaster.
So when the Little Snowman told her that due to the overwhelming resentment of the eight bosses, eight worlds had collapsed and merged with the ninth world she was in, she felt as if her life had ended right then and there.
Chu Jiuning’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.
Little Snowman: Master, there’s no need to pretend. There’s no one else here.
Chu Jiuning covered her ears with both hands. “Please, don’t say it. I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to know.”
The Little Snowman sighed. “Master, you’re just deceiving yourself.”
Chu Jiuning sat up abruptly, her head hanging heavily.
“Then just tell me everything at once, so I can die quickly! Thank you!”
Little Snowman: In light of the aforementioned reasons, the ninth world has now transformed into a new realm, while the ninth mission, due to a mere 1% shortfall in progress, failed to be successfully marked, thus reverting back to its starting point. Furthermore, although the eight bosses have assimilated the new value of the world, remnants of memories tarnished by you still linger.
Chu Jiuning overwhelmed by anguish, suddenly felt the urge to dedicate the song “Liang Liang” to herself.
“So, Little Snowman, let’s not concern ourselves with any more missions; we should escape swiftly!”
If those eight people were to discover that Chu Jiuning was still alive, they would regret turning her into a human pig.
Little Snowman: Master, I haven’t even mentioned the good news yet.
Her lips twitched slightly, “For me now, the only good news would be to escape from this planet. However, given the nature of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, it’s impossible without completing the mission.”
Little Snowman: Master, as long as you know that, let’s think about how to quickly complete the mission.
Chu Jiuning nodded, “So, what is this so-called good news?”
Little Snowman: The good news is that the content of the ninth mission remains unchanged, and Master Jun Xu hasn’t retained memories from the previous life. Time has merely rewound to the moment you first became his disciple.
Chu Jiuning patted her chest and smiled rarely, “That’s truly lucky. Otherwise, I, Chu Jiuning, would have had no place to hide.”
Little Snowman: Master, I said it’s good news. We just need to redo the ninth mission.
Chu Jiuning nodded. It’s just a matter of redoing the mission; she could accomplish it the first time, so doing it again wouldn’t be a problem.
With this thought, her heart finally calmed down.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door, “Junior Sister, Master wants to see you in the main hall.”
“Oh, all right. Thank you, Senior Brother Fei Yu.”
As she walked along the path, she pondered with her chin in her hand, “Little Snowman, I remember that the last time I conquered Master, he didn’t ask me to meet him in the main hall at this time.”
