Transmigrating into the world of Jade Dynasty, I was targeted by the female lead in a reverse romanc

After a while, Jiang Xiaochuan also got angry.

Although he didn't want to take it in, he couldn't bear to be played like this by a monkey, so he didn't bother to use his spiritual power and chased after it using only his physical strength.

The bamboo forest was dense, and Little Grey was small and slippery like a mudfish.

Jiang Xiaochuan chased it for a long time, but was led deeper and deeper into the depths, and the surrounding scenery gradually changed.

The number of black bamboo has decreased, replaced by many miscellaneous trees and pines.

Suddenly, the light ahead brightened, revealing that they had reached the edge of a cliff, below which lay a deep, misty canyon.

Little Grey turned around at him, squeaked, and jumped down.

Jiang Xiaochuan chased to the edge of the cliff, peered out, and saw that the canyon was extremely deep, with the faint sound of water that could be heard.

He hesitated for a moment, but being toyed with by a monkey like this was really frustrating. Anyway, he was physically strong and wouldn't die from the fall, so he simply jumped down as well.

In mid-air, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be able to control weapons, but unfortunately he had already landed safely.

The valley is lush with vegetation and vines.

He chased after Little Gray's gray shadow, weaving through the valley.

After chasing for an unknown amount of time, the view suddenly opened up before me.

A deep, emerald-green pool is nestled at the bottom of the valley.

The pool water was extremely clear and deep, shimmering with a bottomless, emerald-green light.

There is no visible water source, only a gap on the west side from which the pool water overflows and forms a stream that flows deeper into the valley.

In the middle of the pool, there were some scattered rocks, half-submerged in the water, and in the center of those rocks, a short stick was stuck diagonally.

It was jet black and dull, neither metal nor wood, only a foot long above the water, inconspicuous, like a fire poker.

Soul-stealing!

Jiang Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

Yes, it's that Soul-Capturing Staff that's attracted to the Blood-Devouring Bead. How did he manage to track me here? Was it a coincidence or...?

He didn't want to touch this thing. The Blood-Devouring Bead was already troublesome enough in his body; who knew what kind of trouble it would cause if a Soul-Seizing Ghost came along as well.

He turned to leave, but it was too late.

Just as he turned around, the short, dark rod in the pool suddenly trembled!

Immediately afterwards, the short stick seemed to be pulled up by an invisible force, turning into a streak of black light that shot towards his chest with lightning speed.

Fast! Too fast!

Before Jiang Xiaochuan could even get a clear look at the dark light, a thought flashed through his mind.

Seriously, man, not again.

"Pfft."

The familiar sensation of a cold, foreign object penetrating the body.

The short, dark rod, precise and accurate, pierced his left chest once again.

It was the same spot that the Bloodthirsty Bead stabbed that time.

Jiang Xiaochuan looked down at the short, black rod that had appeared on his chest, feeling the same cold, lifeless yet subtly restless and violent aura emanating from it as the Bloodthirsty Bead.

Two malevolent energies collided violently within his body.

His vision went black, and he slumped backward.

Oh my god... Am I going to die again?

In the chaotic darkness, a voice seemed to rise, carrying a hint of languor and helplessness.

"...Little master."

It's red glass.

"You're really asking for trouble."

"well......"

"I'll help you one more time."

Just once.

"This is the last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaochuan felt an immense, indescribable power surge forth from the depths of his consciousness!

The force instantly enveloped his shattered chest, forcefully squeezing the dark, short rod out of his body.

The staff trembled and hummed, seemingly trying to resist, but the force was stronger and directly suppressed it.

Immediately afterwards, that power guided it, transforming it into countless dense strands of dark light, which seeped into Jiang Xiaochuan's bones.

Click, click, click...

It was as if the sound of bones regenerating and growing came from every part of the body.

It didn't hurt, just a strange tingling sensation.

He could feel that his bones seemed different.

At the same time, another force gently brushed over the deep purple bead, imprisoning it firmly and continuing to play the role of its "heart".

"Alright, that's settled then."

Hongli's voice sounded even more tired than last time.

The immense power receded like a tide, but this time, he seemed to feel that Sister Hongli... she seemed to... have moved into his mind.

"I'm exhausted... Time for bed..."

The last trace of his will appeared, and then he was completely lifeless.

I don't know how much time passed, maybe two hours, maybe longer.

Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly opened his eyes.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leaves at the top of the valley, making him squint.

He propped himself up and his first instinct was to touch his chest.

There was a hole in the clothes, but nothing else.

He didn't die.

Not only did he not die, his body... seemed to be full of power.

He clenched his fist, and a slight "crack" could be heard from his knuckles, a feeling of solidity he had never experienced before.

He tried throwing a punch at a rock about half his height next to him.

I didn't even use much force, because if I used too much force, my hand would hurt.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, several cracks appeared on the stone, and a lot of stone dust fell down.

Jiang Xiaochuan stared at his fist, somewhat bewildered. This strength…

He subconsciously called out in his mind, "Sister Hongli..."

no respond.

"Thank you," he whispered, regardless of whether she could hear him.

"Squeak!"

With a flash of gray shadow, the gray-furred monkey jumped out again, squatted on a tree branch not far away, and curiously looked at him.

They seemed puzzled as to how the person who had been stabbed through could get back up.

Jiang Xiaochuan was furious when he saw it. If it weren't for this damned monkey, would he have suffered like this?

He suddenly darted out, his speed more than twice as fast as before!

Little Grey was startled and tried to run away, but he grabbed the scruff of his neck and lifted him up.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Little Gray glared wildly with its four paws and cried out in terror.

Jiang Xiaochuan raised his hand and gave it a solid slap on the forehead.

"Snapped!"

The sound was crisp and clear.

Little Grey was stunned by the beating. Its two round eyes widened as it stared at Jiang Xiaochuan, forgetting to struggle.

Jiang Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a bit better. He put it on the ground and said, "Get lost. If you follow me again, I'll beat you every time I see you."

He turned around, determined the direction, and walked out of the valley.

After walking a few steps, I felt my trouser leg get heavy.

Looking down, he saw that the little gray monkey had hugged his leg again, looking up at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

It was making "squeaking" sounds, not out of fear, but rather revealing a sense of... closeness? Even a little excitement.

Jiang Xiaochuan felt a chill run down his spine. Could this monkey have some kind of unusual fetish?

He tried to kick him away, but Little Gray clung to him tightly, like a gray pendant.

Jiang Xiaochuan was at his wits' end after several unsuccessful attempts to shake it off. He couldn't very well just kill it, could he?

He said irritably, "Fine, you can join if you want. But behave yourself, or you'll get a real beating."

Little Gray squeaked, and whether it understood or not, it nimbly climbed up his trouser leg to his shoulder, sat steadily, and even stretched out its little paws to scratch his hair.

Jiang Xiaochuan rolled his eyes, too lazy to care, and flew out of the secluded valley with his spear, pondering how to deal with Tian Buyi and Su Ru.

A few more days passed.

A strange sight appeared on the open ground in front of Shoujing Hall on Dazhu Peak.

A gray-haired monkey rides proudly on the back of a fat yellow dog.

The big yellow dog wasn't annoyed at all, and slowly strolled along carrying the monkey. The two animals seemed to have a good relationship.

Tian Ling'er and Zhang Xiaofan found it amusing and burst into laughter.

Su Ru couldn't help but smile as she came out of the main room.

Jiang Xiaochuan, seeing the swaggering Little Grey, started to get a headache again.

The problem is that this damn monkey loves to stick to him. It squats next to him when it eats, cultivates in the tree above his head, and even tries to sneak into his house at night.

Jiang Xiaochuan, having reached his limit, seized the opportunity and gave it another solid and intense confrontation.

"Snapped!"

Little Gray was knocked off Big Yellow's back, rolled twice, shook its head, and instead of getting angry, it squeaked happily twice, then excitedly pounced over, hugged its leg, and rubbed against it.

Jiang Xiaochuan: "..."

He was at his wit's end; he wasn't afraid of being hit, scolded, or shaken off.

He leaned against a pillar in the corridor, watching Tian Ling'er chase after Little Grey and Big Yellow, while Zhang Xiaofan chuckled beside her. The setting sun cast a warm golden glow over everything.

He subconsciously touched the jade pendant in his pocket; it was warm.

It seems... that the headache isn't so bad anymore.

He held the jade pendant and gently exhaled.
