"I've said it many times. In this life, I will only love the Flaming Bar. My feelings are my own business. No one has the right to decide for me. Of course, I know that Si Xuan treats me well. However, I can't accept this feeling. Si Xuan, if your fiancé treats you well and doesn't affect you from following us, I won't object to you accepting this marriage."
"Ah?" Miao Miao covered her mouth and looked at Chen Sixuan speechlessly. She had known about Chen Sixuan's engagement. Today, she wanted to sing along with Chen Sixuan and force Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan to return to Dongmu Empire to resolve this matter. At the same time, she wanted to push the boat forward. Perhaps, the relationship between the two of them would improve. However, who would have thought that Ji Dong would reject her so coldly? He had once again made his feelings clear and rejected Chen Sixuan in public?
What surprised Miao was that after hearing Ji Dong's words, Chen Sixuan did not look as if she was heartbroken. She was still looking at Ji Dong. At least, her body was calm, but the look in her eyes was very strange.
Miao Miao rubbed her eyes hard and thought to herself, "Did I see it wrong? Ji Dong, that bastard, rejected her so bluntly in public, but why did Sixuan look at him with even more love? This girl's psychological quality is too good, isn't it?"
What Miao Miao did not know was that if Ji Dong's rejection had fallen on any other girl, no one would have been able to take it. However, Chen Sixuan was an exception. This rejection was a rejection of her current identity, but it was also a confession to her previous identity. Although Ji Dong's loyalty to the Flaming Bar made it impossible for Chen Sixuan to be with him, how could Chen Sixuan not be moved by his loyalty and deep feelings? Perhaps only Chen Sixuan herself could understand the complexity of this.
After saying this, Ji Dong was also looking at Chen Sixuan. He had no choice but to say this. Miao Miao and Du Xin 'er's words had reminded him that in the eyes of his companions, he and Chen Sixuan were already a couple. He did not want this feeling to spread to everyone's hearts. He also suddenly realized that he was getting more and more used to the feeling of having Chen Sixuan by his side. Saying these words not only directly rejected Chen Sixuan, but also strengthened his heart at the same time. Miao Miao was surprised. Ji Dong was even more surprised.
Looking at Chen Sixuan's gaze that was filled with deep love and complicated emotions, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Why did this gaze look so familiar? It was as if he felt that the Flaming Bar was watching him. Ji Dong had originally planned to turn around and leave after saying this, but he couldn't move his feet no matter what. He felt as if the Flaming Bar was watching him, how could he bear to leave!
The conflict in Chen Sixuan's heart was unimaginable. When she heard Ji Dong's unwavering confession and saw the determination in Ji Dong's eyes, she really wanted to tell him that she was the Flaming Bar. However, she couldn't. If she said it, it would only harm him. Not only could the two of them not be together, it would also cause his body and soul to be destroyed, never to be reincarnated.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Sixuan tried her best to calm the impulses in her heart and said, "Teacher Ji Dong, I want to discuss something with you."
Ji Dong asked instinctively, "What is it?"
Chen Sixuan gently stroked the two strands of hair in front of her and said, "I want to hire you."
"Hire me?" Ji Dong came to his senses at this moment. No matter how he looked, the person in front of him was Chen Sixuan, not his Flaming Bar. He composed himself and asked curiously, "You want to hire me?"
Chen Sixuan nodded and said, "Teacher Ji Dong, although you aren't willing to accept my feelings, I hope that I can hire you to help me this time. Please pretend to be my lover and return to Dongmu Empire with me to settle the engagement. Once the engagement has been annulled, the hiring will be over."
"No way." Ji Dong said without hesitation. He could feel that his resistance towards Chen Sixuan was decreasing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rejected her so clearly. Why would he be willing to have a deeper relationship with her?
"Sixuan, you can hire others, but I can't." Ji Dong turned around and didn't look at Chen Sixuan anymore. He was afraid that he would be swayed by Chen Sixuan's bitter but gentle gaze.
Chen Sixuan shook her head gently and said, "No, no one else can. How can my Imperial Father not see if I have feelings for the person I bring back? Only you can help me. Teacher Ji Dong, don't be in a hurry to reject me. Listen to what I can offer first, alright? "
After Ji Dong rejected Chen Sixuan, the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples didn't say anything. After all, feelings were their own business.
"Teacher Ji Dong, if I remember correctly, you said that you would offer a bottle of famous wine to your lover, the Flaming Bar, every year. Zhou Xiaoxiao showed us the list of the top ten famous wines.
You already have six of them. They are the second ranked Blue Ghost Liquid, the third ranked Vast Sea Nectar, the fourth ranked Source of Life, the fifth ranked Nine Revolutions Flaming Lava, the seventh ranked Rare Gold Jade Nectar, and the ninth ranked Lonely Moon. Among them, you have already offered the Source of Life to the Flaming Bar. You still have five bottles left. You still need four more to collect the top ten famous wines. Those four wines are all produced in the Five Elements Continent. "
Ji Dong said indifferently, "Why are you saying all this? This is my own business."
Chen Sixuan said, "This is your own business. But if I say that my reward is one of the other four famous wines, can I hire you?"
Hearing this, Ji Dong suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Sixuan. He said, "You have one of the other four famous wines? That's impossible. They are all produced in the Five Elements Continent. "
Chen Sixuan took a deep breath and thought to herself, "Ji Dong, Ji Dong, I've really put in a lot of effort to pursue you. Do you know that there are two things I want to do now. One is to throw myself into your arms and feel the warmth you bring me again. The other is to beat you up."
"Teacher Ji Dong, don't forget that our Dongmu Empire is the country closest to the Five Elements Continent among the five great empires. We also share a border with the Holy Evil Island. In the past, before the war between the Holy Evil and the Holy Evil, a holy war had already broken out between the two continents. In the collection of the Dongmu Empire's royal family, there is a bottle of wine that was left from that time. It is called 'Netherworld Holly'. It is ranked eighth among the ten famous wines."
This time, Ji Dong was really moved. He was definitely lucky to have six of the ten famous wines. Of course, he understood that it would be extremely difficult to find the other four wines in the Five Elements Continent. He had agreed to Chen Sixuan's employment, and she would only need a month's time to complete her request. Now that he had obtained this bottle of wine, he couldn't be sure if there was such a wine left in the Five Elements Continent. Although the ten famous wines were ranked one by one, they were all equally precious. Every bottle he found would bring him one step closer to the Flaming Bar's wish. He couldn't let go of such an opportunity. Even though he knew that Chen Sixuan had proposed this employment to get closer to him, he couldn't refuse.
Looking deeply at Chen Sixuan, Ji Dong said in a deep voice, "When do we leave?"
Chen Sixuan finally heaved a sigh of relief. She pulled down the veil on her face and smiled. The radiance on her delicate face caused the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples, regardless of gender, to be a little dazed. She said, "There's no hurry. We'll return in half a year's time."
"Alright. I accept your employment, "Ji Dong said in a deep voice. After saying that, he turned around and walked into the cave.
Looking at Ji Dong's back as he left, Miao Miao moved closer to Chen Sixuan and said in a low voice, "That works too. That fellow finally gave in. Sixuan, you have to work hard!"
A smile appeared on Chen Sixuan's pretty face. She said, "Actually, I've already guessed that it's useless to play the emotional card with him. He'll only come with me if I offer him an irresistible condition."
Fury asked, "Do you want me to go with you? After all, you'll be facing two Supreme-Being experts."
Chen Sixuan shook her head and said, "There's no need for that. Thank you, Brother Fury. Although the other party's family is powerful, we're still an empire. It's enough for me to have Ji Dong accompany me back. In fact, from what I can see, Ji Dong's cultivation is already comparable to any Supreme-Being expert. Moreover, there's still me."
The next morning, to the surprise of the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples, the first guest they welcomed was not the Fire Dragon King, who had a close relationship with Ji Dong. Instead, it was the Dragon Emperor's official wife — the Diamond Dragon King.
The Diamond Dragon King was much smaller than the Dragon Emperor. Other than the lack of the golden Dragon Emperor crown on her head, her body was also crystal clear like the Dragon Emperor. She was noble and elegant, just like a noble lady.
At this time, the sky had just brightened. The arrival of the Diamond Dragon King woke the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples up from their cultivation.
"I'm sorry to disturb your rest, guests from the humans." The Diamond Dragon King's voice was gentle and extremely comfortable. If one only heard her voice, no one would associate her with the king of the Dragon Clan. It must be known that the Diamond Dragon King was an existence that stood at the peak of the tenth-grade Magical Beasts. She was not much weaker than the Heavenly Stem Divine Beasts.
Hearing the sound, Ji Dong was the first to come out. He lifted his head to look at the Diamond Dragon King and said, "Hello, Senior Diamond Dragon King. Why are you here so early?"
The Diamond Dragon King sighed softly and said, "Hello, Ji Dong, you can just call me by my name. I'm Irina. I've come this time to ask for a favor."
As she spoke, her massive body slowly crouched down and lowered her head to Ji Dong. Ji Dong could clearly see that there seemed to be mist rising in the eyes of the Diamond Dragon King Irina. Her emotions were also very strong.
Ji Dong hurriedly said, "Senior Irina, please tell me what you need. If it's within my capabilities, I'll definitely help you."
Irina nodded gently. When she opened her mouth again, she sounded like she was about to cry. She said, "Ji Dong, the Dragon Emperor told you yesterday that he only has two children. They were born to me and Vanessa. Vanessa's child was lost for three thousand years and was finally found. Although my child is by our side, it has mutated and has yet to hatch. Right now, there's only one method that we can try, and it might succeed."
Ji Dong's heart skipped a beat. He already understood what Irina meant. He said, "You're saying that you want your child to sign a contract with one of us and use the power of the contract to help your child hatch?"
Irina immediately nodded and said, "We've thought of this idea before, but we can't just randomly find someone to sign a contract with. Our child is the direct heir of the Dragon Emperor's bloodline. Since you can help Vanessa hatch the Maotai and Wuliangye that are affected by the cold, I think you can definitely help me too, right?" Her big eyes were filled with anticipation, and there were even tears rolling down her cheeks.
Ji Dong said seriously, "Senior Irina, if I can help you, I'll definitely help you. However, I can't guarantee that it will succeed."
Irina sighed, and two drops of crystal tears rolled down her cheeks. She said, "I know how difficult it is to hatch this child. Even His Majesty and I can't do anything about it. I just hope that we can give it a try. I wonder which one of you is willing to sign a contract with my child?"
In fact, Ji Dong was in a dilemma. However, this was also a gamble. If the Dragon Emperor's child could hatch successfully, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for the Heavenly Stems Holy Disciple with the guarantee of the contract. That was a Diamond Dragon with the potential of a Sage. However, what if it couldn't hatch? One had to know that the contract of any Magic Master could only be signed once in a lifetime. He couldn't force any of his partners to take the risk.
"Senior Irina, what is the attribute of your child with the Dragon Emperor? Yin Soil or Yang Soil? "
Irina immediately replied, "It's Yang Soil, which is Yin Soil. It has the same attribute as me."
Ji Dong frowned slightly, and Lang Tianyi, who was standing not far behind him, also heaved a sigh of relief. If the child of the Diamond Dragon King and the Dragon Emperor was of the Yang Soil attribute, then he would undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate. Ji Dong knew about the risk, and of course, he also knew about it. From his point of view, he wasn't willing to take the risk. However, if it was really Yang Soil, he could only step in. He couldn't make things difficult for Ji Dong.
Ji Dong said, "This is a little troublesome. Senior Irina, you should also know that when magical beasts and humans sign contracts, they usually have the same attribute. However, among us, Miaomiao, who has the Yang Soil attribute, has already signed a contract and has her own magical beast partner. It's a Silver Winged Eastern Green."
"What about the rest of you?" Irina asked eagerly.
Ji Dong looked at her with some difficulty. He finally decided that he couldn't let his partners take the risk, even if it meant offending the Dragon Tribe.
Irina looked at Ji Dong, and disappointment gradually appeared in her eyes. She sighed and said, "I'm sorry. I know that my request is too much."
At this moment, a beautiful voice rang out. "Let me sign a contract with your child."
