I am Jiang Ming, the Eternal Demon Emperor

Chapter 939 A Few Things About Heng'e and Da Yi

Next.

Heng'e and Hou Yi spent their days together, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past three years, they have become deeply in love, inseparable, and both of their cultivation levels have greatly improved.

Jiang Ming naturally entered the advanced Taiwu realm, a natural progression. Heng'e, with Jiang Ming's help, also entered the late-stage Great Demon realm, reaching a level comparable to Jiang Ming's.

Having reached this level, Heng'e felt much more at ease. Even after returning and officially emerging from seclusion, she could legitimately say she was in seclusion, because her cultivation had truly improved.

Moreover, Heng'e never even considered that she and Hou Yi could gain the approval of the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun; it was impossible. The demon race and the witch race were sworn enemies, constantly at odds with each other, and there was simply no possibility of reconciliation.

Chang'e was still quite clear-headed. If their relationship were exposed—a demon and a witch in love—who knew what might happen? Since that was the case, she was content with the way things were now, free and unrestrained.

I envy not the immortals, but only the mandarin ducks.

That evening, Jiang Ming created the guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither) and presented Chang'e with a song called "Never Forget."

"Flowers bloom on the path, but the beauty fades; never forget your original aspirations, never lose them."

The moon sets before the wine cup, its light lingering on the emerald waters; we remain true to our original aspirations, steadfast and unwavering.

That night, Heng'e got drunk again.

Because of Hou Yi's deep affection, because of Hou Yi's heartfelt confession, because of Hou Yi's unparalleled talent.

That evening, Chang'e took the initiative to tell Jiang Ming her true identity: she was Heng'e, the Moon Goddess of Heaven, and also the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor.

Jiang Ming naturally showed the appropriate shock and forgiveness.

Of course, no praise was offered either.

This made Chang'e extremely embarrassed.

Then, another seven years passed.

Heng'e had no choice but to say goodbye and let her leave.

At this time, with Jiang Ming's help, Heng'e had already reached the realm of a sub-demon king.

Similarly, Jiang Ming himself officially became a Great Shaman.

"Heng'e, don't worry, I'll come and peek at you when I have the chance."

Jiang Ming naturally wanted to grant Heng'e her freedom.

Moreover, he is not capable of fighting against everything right now, so he needs to keep a low profile.

Jiang Ming was also certain that nothing major would happen in the next thousand years.

Because the conflict between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan has not yet reached the point where a major war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan is about to break out.

Of course, to prevent Heng'e from being targeted by those with ulterior motives, Jiang Ming gave her a treasure of innate merit for protection.

This supreme treasure is Hou Yi's Bow. It was personally forged by Jiang Ming. Then, he allowed it to evolve within his inner world, transforming into a primordial supreme treasure.

Now, Jiang Ming's inner world is his biggest cheat code. As a primordial world, it can evolve any innate treasure.

With this treasure protecting her, even if a sage wanted to scheme against Heng'e, it would provoke a counterattack from Hou Yi.

Chang'e, of course, left with great reluctance. She never imagined that after spending ten years with Hou Yi day and night, she wouldn't feel the slightest bit weary. On the contrary, she felt a pang of sadness at the thought of parting.

have to say.

Heng'e felt that she could no longer live without Hou Yi.

The secret technique she is currently practicing, the "Xing Zi Mi" (行字秘), was also taught to her by Hou Yi. She returned to the Moon Palace without anyone noticing.

Then, he announced his exit from seclusion, revealing that his cultivation level was at the late stage of a Great Demon.

This incident was Jiang Ming's reminder, which taught Heng'e to protect herself, to play dumb to outsmart others, and he also told her many stories. She must not reveal her true cultivation level; she must hide her strength.

He also taught her a secret method to conceal her cultivation: transformation into a new form. Heng'e naturally followed Jiang Ming's advice and, after emerging from seclusion, it was no surprise that the entire Heavenly Realm soon learned that Heng'e had made great progress in her cultivation after ten years of seclusion.

No one doubted that Heng'e hadn't cared about the Moon Palace at all for the past ten years. It turned out that the aloof, lonely, and self-absorbed Heng'e had been corrupted by Jiang Ming.

She secretly ran away from the area and even made a lifelong vow with Jiang Ming.

have to say.

If this were told to others, no one would believe it; it's too shocking.

After returning to the Moon Palace, Chang'e asked the Jade Rabbit some questions.

The little jade rabbit did a great job, and Heng'e even took out the gift that Jiang Ming had given to the jade rabbit.

As a result, this rabbit, who had reached the peak of Celestial Immortal realm, ate a Primordial Yin Fruit given to her by Jiang Ming and directly broke through to the Golden Immortal realm. With the help of the bell given to her by Jiang Ming, she successfully transcended her tribulation and became a Golden Demon.

In this era, Jin Yao can finally be considered to have truly stepped onto the threshold of immortality.

After all, below the level of the Golden Demon, in today's primordial world, even stepping on an ant could easily result in a Heavenly Demon.

so.

Even the celestial demon race, when recruiting soldiers and taking in demon immortals from the mortal realm, generally requires at least a breakthrough to the Golden Demon realm.

Like the little rabbit, it's cute, but it was brought back by Chang'e through connections.

Chang'e was also very happy about the little jade rabbit's breakthrough. This rabbit was sometimes clumsy, but it was one of the few people she could talk to in the Moon Palace.

The Moon Palace is now very empty, with no other celestial maidens present.

Because Heng'e originally preferred quiet.

And next.

Heng'e naturally started watching the live stream again, spying on what Hou Yi was doing in the human world.

What we see is that Hou Yi has returned to his lazy ways and spends most of his time sleeping.

Heng'e was also curious about what Jiang Ming would do after she left.

One month later.

Heng'e saw Jiang Ming split in two, one playing the guqin and the other the xiao, and a new melody was born. Jiang Ming didn't say a word, but Heng'e already understood the true meaning of the melody.

Return.

This is the longing that Chang'e heard.

Wandering through the mortal world, I happened upon a mountainside where I listened to the rain. The aroma of tea drifted among the white clouds, intoxicating me; the fragrance of orchids wafted through the stream, where I listened to the flowing water. Spring came, and flowers bloomed; summer arrived, and lotuses danced in the breeze. The flute's melody lingered, its seven strings resonating with a clear, melodious sound.

With hearts in harmony, we gaze at the mountains, listen to the clouds, and inquire about tea amidst the landscape. Then, a guest arrives. Indeed, he has returned, no longer a youth.

Not a single word was uttered about missing them.

However, the longing has transformed into wisps of music, flowing through the vast blue sea and sky into the Moon Palace.

Inside the Moon Palace, Chang'e involuntarily took out the guqin that Jiang Ming had given her. She played a piece called "Return," which was as if she were weeping and lamenting, and was full of tender feelings. The music was transformed into notes that echoed in the Moon Palace.

The little jade rabbit's bright, innocent, and flawless eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't understand the words, but she just felt they were so beautiful that she wanted to cry.

"It's only been a month since we separated. What should I do? I miss Hou Yi so much."

After Chang'e finished playing her instrument, she saw that Hou Yi was drunk and had fallen asleep again. The sight of Hou Yi drunk broke her heart; when he was around, Hou Yi never got drunk and was always full of energy. Even a frown from him pained her.

then.

Six months later, when Heng'e woke up, she saw Jiang Ming holding the rabbit and sitting in front of her bed.

It turns out that Jiang Ming had taken the initiative to go to the Moon Palace to see Chang'e. This was a two-way journey; this time, Chang'e came to him regardless of the risks. This time, he risked his life to see Chang'e.
After all, on the surface, Hou Yi shouldn't be here. If Di Jun discovers him, Jiang Ming might die.
