Fantasy: Sign-in From The Womb, Born As A Major Antagonist

Chapter 378 One Last Chance, Put On Her Mask!

"Master, what do you mean by that?"

Ji Xiu looked at Li Yue with a puzzled expression. How did he end up getting married after waking up from a nap?

Upon hearing this, Li Yue did not respond to Ji Xiu but instead poured a cup of apricot blossom wine and placed it on the table.

Seeing this, Ji Xiu shook his head and walked to the stone table, tilting his head back and drinking the apricot blossom wine in one gulp.

"So, who is she?"

Ji Xiu stared at Li Yue intently and asked again.

Li Yue remained calm and lifted the wine cup to her lips, taking a sip of the apricot blossom wine before responding lightly, "The Miss of the Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Tower."

"Cang Xue."

Huh!

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu furrowed his brows slightly. The young master of the Nine Heavens Wind and Rain Tower had only been dead for less than seven days, and now this Miss wanted to marry him? What kind of situation was this? It was really confusing!

Seemingly understanding Ji Xiu's confusion, Li Yue lightly opened her lips and casually said, "She seems to have found out who killed her brother!"

"Most likely, she thinks it has something to do with you!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu calmly uttered four words, "She's overthinking!"

Li Yue nodded in response. She quietly sat under the moonlight, pouring herself another cup of apricot blossom wine and replied with three words, "Perhaps she is!"

With that, both Ji Xiu and Li Yue fell into silence.

Finally, Ji Xiu spoke up again, "Master!"

"If there's nothing else."

"I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Ji Xiu prepared to leave the forbidden area of the back mountain. Now that Cang Xue knew everything, it didn't matter if she knew or didn't know. All he had to do was wait for the start of the extreme night and for Nan Lingyue to activate the Heavenly Heart Formation. Once he obtained Li Yue's divine and demonic heart, he could leave. So he just needed to hold on a little longer!

"Tian'er!"

"Have another cup of apricot blossom wine!"

"This one was brewed by me."

Li Yue suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Li Yue, who was pouring him a drink. It was then that he noticed the pure and flawless lotus flower on Li Yue's wrist.

"This is... the Pure World Lotus?!"

Ji Xiu's pupils contracted.

Li Yue actually had a Pure World Lotus too, but unlike his own which was a seductive crimson, the one on Li Yue's wrist was pure white.

However, this wasn't surprising because when he first obtained the Pure World Lotus, it was also pure and holy. It was only after being stained with Yan Fei's blood that it became a seductive crimson.

But what surprised him now was that there were two Pure World Lotuses in the Nine Heavens, and one of them happened to be on Li Yue's wrist!

"I wonder what kind of strange power is hidden in the Pure World Lotus on Li Yue's wrist?"

"Maybe after Nan Lingyue activates the Heavenly Heart Formation, I should take the Pure World Lotus on Li Yue's wrist along with me?"

Just as Ji Xiu's thoughts were swirling, Li Yue had already pushed the wine cup in front of him. She looked at Ji Xiu meaningfully and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xiu shook his head, calming his thoughts, and then raised his head to drink the apricot blossom wine in the jade cup.

Li Yue placed the golden mask on the stone table in front of Ji Xiu and said with a deeper meaning, "Tian'er!"

"Take it!"

Hmm?

Ji Xiu looked at Li Yue in a daze, not understanding her intentions.

"You are my closed-door disciple!"

"I hope you can become the next Divine Emperor!"

"If... you're willing!"

Li Yue looked at Ji Xiu with a burning gaze.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu looked at the golden emperor's mask in front of him and felt a strange feeling. He felt that since he woke up, Li Yue had become somewhat strange. First, she warned him that Cang Xue had set her sights on him, and now she was giving him her Divine Emperor's mask?

She seemed to know something.

Or perhaps, she was giving him a choice?

Shaking his head, Ji Xiu picked up the golden mask, took a deep breath, and said, "I hope Ling Tian won't disappoint Master's expectations!"

After that, Ji Xiu turned and left the back mountain of the Divine Emperor's Palace.

Watching Ji Xiu's figure recede into the distance, Li Yue fell silent for a long time. She lifted the wine cup on the stone table and drank the apricot blossom wine in one gulp.

She put down her wine glass, slowly stood up with her hands behind her back, and looked up at the golden moon in the sky, murmuring with deep meaning,

"Ji Xiu!"

"The last chance!"

"When the polar night comes."

"I want to see if you will choose Lu Xiyue or choose me!"

"I hope you don't make the wrong choice!"

This is her second step of the plan, giving Ji Xiu a chance to choose.

Ji Xiu's future choice will determine how the final step of her plan will proceed!

...............

Meanwhile, after Ji Xiu left the forbidden area of the God Emperor's mountain, he went directly to the Yunyan Palace.

Nan Lingyue had been waiting at the top of the Yunyan Palace for a long time.

"It succeeded."

Ji Xiu stood beside Nan Lingyue and spoke lightly.

"Mm."

"I have already sensed it."

Nan Lingyue smiled and nodded.

"So, we just need to wait for the polar night to come, right?"

Ji Xiu confirmed with Nan Lingyue again.

"That's right."

"But before the polar night comes, both you and I must remain low-key."

"Otherwise, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Nan Lingyue reminded in a low voice.

"Don't worry."

"There are only a few days left until the polar night."

Ji Xiu murmured softly as he looked at the increasingly dark horizon.

"By the way."

"It seems that Cang Xue has set her sights on you."

"She knows that you, Ji Xiu, killed Cang Tian."

"But fortunately, she cannot be sure that you are the Lingtian Prince of our God Emperor's Palace."

"But from now on, you have to be careful of that woman."

Nan Lingyue turned around and looked at Ji Xiu with a meaningful gaze, her enchanting eyes filled with a teasing meaning.

"Don't worry."

Ji Xiu nodded. Even if Cang Xue knew that he killed Cang Tian, it didn't matter. After all, he was Lingtian now.

"What do you mean?"

Nan Lingyue's lips slightly lifted.

"Ji Xiu killed Cang Tian, what does it have to do with me, Lingtian?"

Ji Xiu stretched lazily and smiled faintly.

"Exactly."

Nan Lingyue solemnly nodded in agreement.

Just then, a female official came to report.

"Lord Shenzun, Miss Cang Xue wants to see the Lingtian Prince."

Oh?

Nan Lingyue raised her eyebrows playfully and said to Ji Xiu,

"Go."

"Go and meet your beautiful fiancée."

"I heard that she can only marry you!"

Upon hearing this, the female officials in the Yunyan Palace couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. This news had already spread throughout the entire divine realm and was no longer a secret. Many big shots in the divine realm were secretly proud, thinking that the Lingtian Prince was too stunning. Even the Miss of the Nine Heavens Tower cried and shouted that she must marry him, which gave face to the divine realm!

"Boring."

Ji Xiu shook his head at Nan Lingyue. How could Cang Xue be so obsessed with a man she had never met? In his opinion, this woman just wanted to use the title of fiancée to see if he was the real culprit who killed her brother!

However, since she wanted to play, he could play along!

With that thought in mind, Ji Xiu took out Li Yue's golden emperor mask from his storage ring in front of Nan Lingyue and slowly put it on his face. Then, under Nan Lingyue's stunned gaze, he headed towards the Ganlu Terrace.

Looking at Ji Xiu's figure from behind, Nan Lingyue's red lips slightly opened. Her beautiful face was full of shock. After a while, she murmured to herself,

"What is this?"

"Li Yue, is she serious?"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk!"

"Unfortunately... Ji Xiu won't appreciate it!"
