Lady, you don’t want to be corrupted by the devil, do you?

Is it compassion?

Maybe it's compassion...

But she had come to Sword God Mountain ten years ago, and she saw this master wiping the Yuling sword in his arms almost every day...

From the excitement and pride in her tone every time she mentioned Jiu Yu Jun, and the silence she would fall into every time she spoke... she could tell that the master really loved Jiu Yu Jun, even more than she did, and had experienced more with him than she had... During the fourteen years that he disappeared, she was also the saddest person.

Even if my master is really a little stupid sometimes, I can just consider it as repaying him for saving my life fourteen years ago.

"Once you two recognize each other, I won't help you like this anymore."

When Marina Akizuki saw that Namu Ling glanced back at her somewhat unhappily, she immediately smiled back at her.

064 Dreams are reality

Soon, it was the next day.

That morning, Zhou Jiuyu listened to Marina's words, changed into a suit, put some hairspray on his hair, and pinned up his bangs which he usually let down, looking quite handsome.

While having breakfast, Qiuyue Ai Li, who had changed into a pure white halter dress with petal-patterned edges, saw Zhou Jiuyu's rare serious look... For a moment, she couldn't help but look up at him a few more times, as if her heart was beating faster than usual.

As for Marina Akizuki, she was already one step ahead of her sister. She grabbed Zhou Jiuyu's hand after dinner. She was closer to Zhou Jiuyu today than when she came back on the night of the dance. Now that the 90% confirmation rate has become 100%, she no longer has to hide her kindness and can start pursuing Zhou Jiuyu openly.

She knew that today was her master's home game, but at least she could enjoy the gazes of the passers-by on the street before they recognized each other...

Jiu Yujun has a handsome face and she is dressed up in a white dress today, so she is almost certain to turn heads. Not to mention that she is holding Jiu Yujun's hand. From time to time, people passing by would say... what a beautiful couple.

Beauty comes second.

I mainly want to hear that sentence about lovers.

But Zhou Jiuyu felt very puzzled...

No, what did he do to make Akizuki Marina give herself to him like this?

It’s okay for Ai Li, because he was the one who trained her... and they had a good relationship, but there was no reason for Marina Akizuki to be so nice to him?

He never believed in love at first sight for no reason.

If you are simply attracted by his handsomeness, then starting a relationship based on appearance will basically not have any good results... In his previous life, a friend of his had a pretty girlfriend. He took them out for dinner and bought them gifts. He spent a lot of money on her, but he found out that his girlfriend was a peripatetic girl!

So Zhou Jiuyu was a little afraid that Akizuki Marina was eyeing his kidneys... The thought process of the heroine in the book could be anything!

"Go away, sister. Jiu Yujun is my boyfriend today."

Akizuki Airi looked at her for a long time with her cheeks puffed out, and finally couldn't help but push Akizuki Marina away.

Akizuki Marina looked at Zhou Jiuyu with a helpless smile, took the initiative to hold her sister's arm, and was stunned for a moment, with several thoughts popping up in her head...

"???"

"What's going on with you guys?" Marina Akizuki was confused for a moment.

Could it be that her sister is the final boss who is more terrifying than her master?

It's hard to say for sure! Sometimes, girls who are both arrogant and innocent are unexpectedly popular with boys, not to mention that her sister has a great figure and is a loli!

"Sister, guess what?" Qiuyue Ai Li made a face.

"It's a fake identity. Marina, you are going to accompany your master today, right? We are a couple with Airi, which makes it easier to explain sometimes." Zhou Jiuyu explained softly.

And Akizuki Ai Li also shook her "boyfriend's" arm to show off.

Akizuki Marina breathed a sigh of relief, and then for some reason, she felt a little amused.

How could she not see it? Please explain it to her in a better way... He was just going to deliberately drag his girlfriend along to test the master's reaction.

(PS: Because the text here has been modified, in order to connect to the following chapters, here is a plot setting patch, which is actually not very useful, please don’t mind)

It seems that Jiu Yujun’s brain is still better, at least better than that stinky aunt of the master who is afraid of being dumped by a broken heart and just goes to Yu Yu. Although this is still a bit... timid.

She looked anxious.

What are you testing?

I had a direct fight with my master!

If you don't explode, I'll help you.

……

Zhou Jiuyu and sisters Qiuyue took the subway all the way to City No. 4.

Zhou Jiuyu was quite familiar with the road to the Awakening Tower. Although the hotels, commercial streets, KFC and other places he and Nan Mengling had been to had become different...but the Awakening Tower was exactly the same.

The location has not changed, and the appearance outside is the same, but perhaps the interior has changed.

When he revisited the old place, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Relying on Marina's identity, they entered the tower unhindered.

But there seemed to be an uninvited guest at the entrance of the tower.

As a member of the Tong family, Tong Qin naturally had to greet guests at the door. When she saw the Qiuyue sisters and Zhou Jiuyu, the polite smile on her face froze.

Her long hair turned into short hair at this moment, and all of this was thanks to Zhou Jiuyu. Due to Akizuki Marina's identity, she couldn't even take any revenge on Zhou Jiuyu.

"Today is my great-grandfather's funeral. You'd better behave yourself. I will keep an eye on you."

Tong Qin couldn't help but stare at Zhou Jiuyu coldly when he walked past her.

But Zhou Jiuyu chose to ignore her.

I don’t know why, but Marina Akizuki covered her mouth at this moment, as if she was trying to hide her smile?

Zhou Jiuyu didn't notice this expression, but Tong Qin clearly saw this snickering smile, and for a moment she was so angry that her teeth chattered. What does that mean? Look down on her? No matter what, she is still the eldest daughter of the Tong family. Is your status more noble than mine?

But Zhou Jiuyu and the other two didn't care what she thought.

"Aili, eat here for a while. I'm going to ask your sister something." Zhou Jiuyu took Qiuyue Aili to the side of the funeral, where various delicacies were provided.

"Yeah." A small piece of cake was fed into Qiuyue Ai Li's mouth. She felt very satisfied at the moment and of course had no objection.

After settling Qiuyue Aili, Zhou Jiuyu took a deep breath and walked towards the crowd watching the funeral.

The only reason he came to the funeral today was for Nam Meng Ling.

He must see Nan Mengling again. There were some questions he hadn't asked yesterday. How could he let it go without getting an accurate answer?

Zhou Jiuyu came to Akizuki Marina step by step. He followed her gaze and saw the coffin made of gold and silver in the center. The gold and silver content itself did not seem to be the most valuable. The various gems inlaid on it were the real valuables. The coffin might be worth hundreds of millions... This funeral was really grand.

Not to mention, among the crowd watching at this moment, Zhou Jiuyu could sense several eighth-level and seventh-level auras overflowing just by a slight perception...it seemed that there were even ninth-level auras!

This is not just a grand ceremony, there are only a few people in the world who can hold a funeral like this, right? And the funeral lasted for fourteen years?

Who the hell is being buried here?

"Jiuyu-kun? Why are you coming to me instead of being Ai Li's boyfriend?" Akizuki Marina's tone seemed a little sad.

Zhou Jiuyu coughed immediately. He wanted to ask where your master was, but he didn't want to expose his purpose so directly, so he also looked at the coffin and changed the subject first:

"This funeral is really grand, and it has been held for fourteen years... But I am also a little puzzled. This is the funeral of the Tong family's great-grandfather. What is your master doing here? Did she live for more than a hundred years?"

"My great-grandmother is actually very young. She became the Sword God when she was eighteen, and she is only thirty-two years old now." Akizuki Marina shook her head.

"Then...how does she know the great-grandfather of the Tong family?" Zhou Jiuyu, who was originally just bringing up a random topic and wanted to bring it to Nan Mengling, now became really curious.

Akizuki Marina also continued to explain softly: "Because the funeral is not for the great-great-grandfather of the Tong family, but for a foster grandfather that the head of the Tong family once knew. It is said that he was very kind to the Tong family, so a grand memorial service is held every year to repay the kindness... But in fact, it is just a formality to comfort the family."

The grandfather of the Tong family's patriarch? For some reason, Zhou Jiuyu couldn't help but feel a very absurd and weird feeling when he looked at the coffin again...

This was clearly the funeral of Tong's great-grandfather, and it had nothing to do with him, but he just felt that this funeral was related to him! This sometimes-and-sometimes-unrelated feeling of connection made him feel a little uneasy, because he couldn't figure it out... Many things couldn't be explained!

He suppressed the inexplicable throbbing in his heart, and then continued to ask:

"So, the person lying in the coffin here is also considered a young man?"

"If there is someone lying in the coffin, he or she should be very young." Marina Akizuki gave a somewhat strange answer.

Zhou Jiuyu looked at the coffin, and his eyes seemed to change: "You mean... there is no one in this coffin?"

"Of course no one. In fact, we don't even know if he's dead or not."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Jiuyu's gaze shifted to Marina. He was not a fool.

Marina took the initiative to invite him to the funeral, and now she explained everything he asked one by one, as if she was waiting for his questions... Her inexplicable kindness, the meaningful smile in her eyes... There must be something fishy going on here!

But this sense of absurdity did not start today; it started yesterday, early yesterday morning!

The moment I woke up from the dream...

Dreams are fake, just a fleeting dream. But when he saw himself in the mirror and his head full of white hair, he was really speechless... Those experiences were just dreams, fake, and fantasies.

It was as if countless messy threads were intertwined and entangled in his brain... From the moment he woke up from the dream, the threads began to appear one after another, intertwined one by one... It was very messy! He couldn't see what the threads were at all! What shape were they going to intertwine into!

But now, at this moment... he could finally see where the lines led to, and he seemed to be able to see the outline of the intertwined shapes...

He stared at the coffin, then couldn't help but glance at Marina and asked the final question that would weave everything together:

“Who is this funeral for?”

This moment seemed to have been stagnant for a long time. Marina Akizuki stared at the coffin. She thought she could remain calm at this moment, but when this moment really came, she found that she could not remain calm.

It seemed as if she could understand her master's thoughts, but it was really hard to put it into words at this moment.

But she had to say it.

To repay their kindness...and for myself.

Taking a deep breath, Akizuki Marina's gaze gradually moved to Zhou Jiuyu, to his eyes, and just stared at him.

Zhou Jiuyu was also stunned for a moment, because he saw... the corners of the other person's eyes were slightly red. Was she crying? Why was she crying?

"Who else could it be, big brother?"

At this moment, the girl stared at him, and he also stared at the girl. The lingering sense of absurdity also buzzed at this moment, making him seem to wake up from a dream.

The girl was stubborn and didn't want to let her tears fall, but she also stubbornly let her eyes meet his...

Dreams and reality, the two pictures overlapped in Zhou Jiuyu's eyes at this moment!

The girl in my dream...

No, it was the girl from fourteen years ago! It was the girl who kept looking back in her mother's arms, biting her lips, and stubbornly trying to remember what he looked like...

Marina Uehara...

Now, it’s Marina Akizuki’s turn.

As for these 120 chapters, I will start paying them back from the update on the day after tomorrow, the 24th. Let's assume that the minimum update is 2 chapters per day, and I will update 4 chapters per day, so I can pay back chapters per day and pay them back slowly... Please give me some chance to pay them back... (crying)

Then I will update the time. I will try to update it at around 6 o'clock in the future. You also know my schedule. It's hell, very hell. I don't know when I will wake up the next day ()

About this book

I have wanted to write this book for a long time.

It all started because, when I was reading late at night, I came across a book about erotica. As I was reading, I suddenly thought, would it be interesting if I wrote with erotica as the background?
