The Substitute Female Supporting Character Sees the Bullet Screen

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.

Nie Yinzhi thought that the so-called Heavenly Maiden was nothing more than a weapon of the Heavenly Dao, born to exterminate demons. Using sweet flesh and blood, along with temporary relief from Heavenly Wrath, to lure him into indulgence, until reaching a critical point where the blood that once brought him comfort would become the weapon to kill him.

If Gu Jiang's liking for her would catalyze this effect, then why couldn't her liking for the demon lord counteract it? She didn't want Gu Jiang to die. Could it be that she didn't like him enough?

As Nie Yinzhi was lost in her chaotic analysis, she was suddenly pushed away. Gu Jiang helped her sit up and bent one leg. "Go back to your room."

"Huh?" Nie Yinzhi wiped her wet lips, still caught off guard.

"You're right; the spiritual energy here is too dense and will alert the Wuliang Sect." Gu Jiang seemed very calm, his lips still glistening with moisture. "Prepare yourself. After nightfall, I'll take you to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave."

Before Nie Yinzhi could respond, she was dizzily ushered out of the room.

Back in her own room, Nie Yinzhi looked out the window and saw that the clouds in the sky had already dispersed. But with her Nascent Soul stage perception, she could feel that the spiritual energy throughout Wucheng had indeed become much more concentrated, making the climate more comfortable. It seemed that Gu Jiang had dispersed the spiritual mist to other less noticeable places.

He still hadn't calmed down yet. Through the unbroken empathy, a mix of pain and pleasure surged into her, along with waves of "Nie Yinzhi" washing over her like a tide, carried by small leaves into her heart.

Gu Jiang's mind was filled with her, yet he had still sent her away!

Nie Yinzhi felt her body grow weak, and she quickly closed the window, throwing herself onto the bed. Her face flushed red as she was swept away by the emotions surging in. Her eyes were misty, her hands and feet clinging tightly to the bedding. Irritated, she thought, what on earth is the demon lord thinking about her?

She wanted to sneak a peek, but Gu Jiang would surely notice immediately.

At this moment, those undetectable by anyone but her, the commentary bubbles were absent, utterly useless.

Nie Yinzhi rolled around on the bed several times, her throat unbearably dry, her inner skirt damp and cool. Finally, unable to endure it any longer, she gasped for breath and actively severed the empathy.

As night fell, the spiritual energy in Wucheng became even more intense, spreading out to form a cool evening breeze, exceptionally pleasant. Many people came out after dinner to stroll around.

Such abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations naturally caught the attention of cultivators. The Buddhist monks stationed in Wucheng by the Wuliang Sect reported the situation back to the sect.

At this time, high-level cultivators from the entire Xiuzhen realm were gathered at the Wuliang Sect, including all the Nascent Soul stage great masters.

On the square of blue stone, a new demon-sealing seal was in operation. Below the seal, a high-level demon beast equivalent to a Nascent Soul peak was trapped. Under the influence of the demon-sealing seal's talisman light, the demonic energy on the beast was visibly being extracted.

Upon receiving the news from Wucheng, the leading Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged glances. Luo Sheng of the Taixin Gate said, "It seems our guess was correct. Gu Jiang is indeed heading toward the Ten Thousand Demons Cave. The old demon-sealing seal above the Ten Thousand Demons Cave definitely won't be able to hold him back. Once the demonic cultivators inside are released, they will collide with the new demon-sealing seal."

They had guessed that Gu Jiang would head here after seeing Feng Hanying hidden in the rabbit.

Luo Sheng turned to look at the demon beast that had been almost completely dissolved by the demon-sealing seal in a short time, leaving only an empty shell. He waved away the spiritual energy drifting from the seal and said, "The more demonic cultivators are dissolved, the more intense the spiritual energy above the Ten Thousand Demons Cave will become, and the more the new demon-sealing seal can be activated. By then, demon-sealing seals will cover the sky and the earth. Even if we can't kill Gu Jiang, we can consume most of his strength."

This was the heavenly net and earthly formation they had set up for Gu Jiang in such a short time, gathering the power of all the immortal sects.

"If there's a chance, capture Nie Yinzhi."

To avoid arousing Gu Jiang's suspicion, the Wuliang Sect still deployed heavy defenses outside the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.

Nie Yinzhi was carried by Gu Jiang through the night. His speed was so fast that the surrounding space was constantly compressed, creating a surreal, dizzying scene.

She had no choice but to lift her head and stare at Gu Jiang's chin, then unconsciously focus on his prominent Adam's apple.

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.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

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!!
