QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots
Chapter 211 - 7.41

Chapter 211: 7.41

"The Ascension Ceremony and the Taoist Couple Ceremony will be held on the same day?"

Ming Ye lowered his eyes and looked at the bright red invitation in his hand, and shook his head, "It seems that this man is more direct than I thought."

And who stood beside him, as his Taoist companion?

None other than Immortal Jiang, a leading figure of the immortal realm.

The shift in the Demon Lord’s position alone is enough to throw the entire immortal realm into chaos. And now, he’s made such a grand display, clearly using Immortal Jiang to shake the world to its core.

And above all, this was not just an alliance, it was binding fate. He wants all to see that Immortal Jiang has already joined his side.

"Who cares?" Su Jinzhou didn’t even look up.

Sure, everyone, from Demon Prince Ming Ye to the high and mighty sect leaders, was convinced that Lou Yan was using Immortal Jiang to send a message, to provoke the great sects and to slap the face of the immortals.

But Su Jinzhou knew better.

Come on. Those two? They’re clearly willing, both of them.

Lou Yan, the powerful and miserable bigshot, sought to possess Jiang Jiamian. And Jiang Jiamian, lecherous and shameless old rogue, was just as eager for him. The two of them were like dry wood and flame, bound to blaze up.

"Are you an old acquaintance of Immortal Jiang?"

Ming Ye raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t forgotten the moment a few days ago when Su Jinzhou and Immortal Jiang met, both holding back tears in their eyes.

Su Jinzhou hesitated briefly before responding with a bright smile, "Just a fellow villager, that’s all."

Aren’t they fellow villagers? They are all taskers of the Quick Transmigration Organization.

"Fellow villager?" Ming Ye glanced at him strangely, "As far as I know, Immortal Jiang is over two thousand years old. Once someone steps onto the path of cultivation, memories of childhood become little more than faint ripples. I don’t know where his immortal hometown is, but at your age, it’s impossible for you to be familiar with him just because you’re from the same village."

Su Jinzhou: "..."

Ming Ye is tougher to trick than he thought.

It was just a casual remark, but this guy still held on to it.

Observing the stuck look on his face, Ming Ye let out a soft chuckle, "If it’s uncomfortable to talk about, I won’t push. But what I really want to ask is, since Immortal Jiang is set to become the Demon Lord’s queen, and I, the Demon Prince, seem to be missing a Demon Princess... maybe you can help me out? Any suggestions?"

When he spoke the last sentence, Ming Ye leaned close to Su Jinzhou’s ear, his warm breath tickling the sensitive skin, causing Su Jinzhou’s ear to redden immediately.

Ming Ye has been carefully observing Su Jinzhou’s reaction, almost unwilling to miss the slightest detail.

Su Jinzhou’s eyes flickered for a moment, and he subtly gave his ear a slight, careful tug. He laughed dryly, "Suggestions? Well, do you fancy men or women? The eldest son of your fox clan in the demon world is pretty decent, handsome, charming, and elegant. If you’re looking for a woman, the snake king’s daughter is quite something too, slender, alluring, with eyes that can melt hearts... hmm!"

Su Jinzhou kept talking, full of energy, but Ming Ye’s face darkened with each word. Eventually, he couldn’t take it any longer, he grabbed Su Jinzhou’s chin and captured Su Jinzhou’s mouth with his own, silencing him completely.

No more talking. Not a single word that might irritate him further.

Hadn’t he made himself clear enough? And yet this guy dared to play dumb?

"Um!" Su Jinzhou’s face flushed bright red from the kiss. Instinctively, he raised a hand to push Ming Ye away. When finally released, he took a deep breath and whispered softly, "I can’t promise you now."

Fang Qi’s whereabouts were unknown, and the last bit of the remaining bending progress was stuck there.

Even if it was just a little bit, for Su Jinzhou, it was the key to the success or failure of his mission.

If he was really unlucky and died at this point, not only would his physical body in this world die immediately, but his soul would also be pulled out and forcibly sent to the punishment world.

At this critical juncture, he couldn’t just give Ming Ye an answer today and die tomorrow.

That would be too unfair to Ming Ye.

He had to ensure that the mission was completed and his remaining life in this world was guaranteed before he dared to agree.

"Why?"

Ming Ye was naturally puzzled.

He could clearly feel that Su Jinzhou did not resist him.

"I need to wait for something."

Su Jinzhou’s answer was half true and half false.

Because he was truly uncertain now.

Not only was Fang Qi missing, but the person Fang Qi liked was about to become a Taoist partner with the Demon Lord. If Fang Qi was stimulated and turned from love to hate, the entire mission would be ruined.

Yet, he couldn’t keep Jiang Jiamian waiting.

Even if Jiang Jiamian was willing to help and cooperate, the powerful and miserable bigshot beside Jiang Jiamian was no kind or trustworthy ally.

It was clear this person wanted to bind Jiang Jiamian to himself immediately, and the Taoist Couple Ceremony was crucial to that plan.

Ming Ye was unusually serious, "Okay, I’ll wait for you."

Patience was not his nature, but for Su Jinzhou, he was willing to endure it.

"I heard that the new Demon Lord is going to marry Immortal Jiang. Doesn’t Immortal Jiang care at all about his dignity as an Immortal Lord? He actually wants to marry the Demon Lord!"

"Yes, since the beginning, good and evil cannot stand side by side. As an Immortal Lord, how can you fall so low as to associate with demons?"

"What are you talking about?! Immortal Jiang? Marrying the Demon Lord? What’s going on here?!"

In a small town, several cultivators walking on the street were discussing this matter that had already caused a sensation. Suddenly, someone caught up from behind, grabbing the corner of one’s robe and asking questions.

Several cultivators couldn’t help but glance at the man in surprise. He wore the robes of the Wanling Sect, but his expression was weary, making it difficult to judge whether his cultivation surpassed theirs.

Sensing the possibility of facing someone much stronger, the cultivators who had prepared to mock swiftly controlled their irritation, and asked politely.

"May we ask who you are?"

"Fang Qi from Wanling Sect. May I ask, fellow Taoist, what exactly happened to Immortal Jiang? Who is it that wants to form a Taoist couple with him?"

Even the few vague words he had overheard were enough to send his heart into chaos.

He had left the Demon King Palace without thinking, heart pounding with fear and fury.

His master, righteous and proud, with a demon cultivator?

No. He had to stop this. He had to save his master.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered the Spiritual Palace he had once obtained.

It was a mysterious artifact capable of shifting its size and allowing one’s soul to enter and cultivate within it. But until now, he had never had the chance to fully refine it.

Now, that Spiritual Palace had become his only hope for a comeback.

That was why he had left the Demon King Palace the moment the Demon Prince and Su Jinzhou departed, he needed to find a secluded place and refine it completely.

What shocked him even more was that he succeeded.

Inside the palace lay a heaven-defying martial technique. And even more miraculous, one day in the outside world equaled one hundred years within.

The discovery felt like divine intervention. As if the heavens themselves had opened a path for him, a chance to turn the tides and save his master.

Even so, he dared not linger. He feared that every moment spent inside was another moment his master remained in danger.

So, he threw himself into the cultivation of the heaven-defying technique. In the span of three hundred years within the Spiritual Palace, he transformed.

And when he finally stepped out, only three days had passed in the real world.

But what truly shocked Fang Qi was what he heard the moment he arrived in the town.

His master... was going to become a Taoist couple with that demon cultivator!?

No.

No!

That couldn’t be!

"Immortal Jiang is going to become a Taoist couple with the new Demon Lord, Lou Yan. The ceremony is being held today! This news has spread across the cultivation world, how do you not know? Judging by your robes, you’re from the Wanling Sect, aren’t you? How could you be unaware of something this big?"

"I..."

Fang Qi’s chest rose and fell violently, and his whole face turned a little pale.

The next moment, he suddenly let go of the other person’s clothes, hurriedly turned, and summoned his flying sword. With a flash of light, he soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
