Chapter 491 Wen Ji and Xue
"I……"
The moment Jiang Wen opened his mouth, he seemed to feel a great repulsion. It was as if the moment he said yes or no, this world had decided his path.
Wu Ji stood there and looked at Jiang Wen quietly for a long time, as if waiting for an answer.
"I'm not, who is Jiang Wen?" Jiang Wen shook his head calmly. He looked at Wu Ji, without any emotion in his eyes. They were just like strangers meeting each other, and they exchanged a few greetings.
"I understand." Wu Ji nodded, and the two said nothing more.
Among the monks in Wuliang Pavilion, only Jiang Wen and Wu Ji sat face to face. They drank from their cups, and then everything disappeared in their smiles.
When the sun sets in the west, a spirit beast flies across the sky, leaving behind a colorful path before disappearing into the distance.
Jiang Wen and Wu Ji walked side by side, watching the night scene of the Wuliang streets. This was the most prosperous area of Tianyuan City, and it was also a world-famous city that never sleeps. The streets and alleys were decorated with lights, and children and women were talking and laughing.
Armored guards patrol the streets, and there are always various spirit beasts and strange creatures walking on the spacious streets.
The merchants in the distance shouted for business, selling magic tools one by one. The monks who were selling natural treasures displayed their items for people to see at will.
"I haven't been here for a long time, but it's still as prosperous as usual." Wu Ji said with a smile.
"The king is very busy with official duties and has little free time to hang out." Jiang Wen replied, taking Wu Ji to look at the merchandise. "But no matter how busy you are, you should take a break. If you keep a bow stretched tight, it will break sooner or later. Even if the king has supernatural powers, he should have some free time. Traveling the world is also a kind of leisure."
"You said it so easily." Wu Ji looked at the crowd and said, "I have a lot of things that only I can do. All I have to do is to protect Tianyuan City and live up to the trust of all the races."
"This world is not just the world of the Heavenly King, but also the world of all races. If you shoulder it all alone, even gods will get tired." Jiang Wen consoled again. He still felt a little distressed for Jiang Wenji, after all, from their acquaintance. This woman was so arrogant, she always looked aloof, like a natural king. Whether it was when Tianyuan City was first built or after Tianyuan City gradually grew, she was always diligent and never slacked off.
Even though Jiang Wen was once Shennong, it was difficult to persuade her. He could only help her share some of the responsibilities and try to make her feel more relaxed.
"If one person rules the world, the world will easily perish. If tens of thousands of people rule the world, the world will prosper." Jiang Wen said slowly, trying to comfort Wu Ji.
Wu Ji smiled but said nothing as she picked up various things from the stalls in the street.
There were masks, dolls, and various magical instruments. They all played with them for a while, then showed them to Jiang Wen.
"What do you think of this thing?" Wu Ji asked with a smile.
"Not bad. Does His Majesty the King like these too?" Jiang Wen asked curiously.
"I liked it before, but not so much now." Wu Ji said nostalgically, holding the item. "It looks familiar now, so I wanted to take a look."
"Why not buy them?" Jiang Wen took out the spirit stone and handed it to the stall owner. In the other party's happy eyes, he bought everything that Wu Ji liked. He put it in a storage bag and handed it to Wu Ji.
"Consider these things as my gifts to the Heavenly King."
"It's a bit unfamiliar to call me 'king of heaven', why not just call me by my name. My name is Jiang Wenji, and my courtesy name is Wenxuan. It's better to call me Wenji." Wu Ji or Jiang Wenji waved her hand generously. She never cared about these small details. She calmly took the thing handed over by Jiang Wen and looked at it carefully in her hand.
"Good baby, there is even space for storage."
"This thing is called a storage bag, and it's a treasure I got by chance. It can hold things of a hundred feet, and can even hold a mountain." Jiang Wen talked about this storage bag with Jiang Wenjie, and taught her how to store and seize things.
The storage bag is an easy magic weapon to use. You just need to attach a mark to it and you can take it out at will.
At present, Taicang does not have such a mysterious magic weapon. Later generations did not obtain the method of making it until they entered the Xumi Realm. Jiang Wen still does not know how to make this storage bag. At the beginning, Li Yunshang agreed to give him the method, but unfortunately they parted ways later. If he had the opportunity to go back this time, he would definitely go to the Imperial Capital to find Li Yunshang for this item.
Jiang Wenji collected and played with the items for a while, and finally figured out how to use the storage bag. She waved her finger and pointed at the void. A dark hole opened up, and she threw something into it.
"Is this the method of space?" Jiang Wen was stunned, looking at the strange space that appeared in surprise. He didn't expect that Jiang Wenji's strength had reached such a level that she could pinch out a space with her bare hands.
"It's just some insignificant tricks." Jiang Wenji said. "If you reach the level of a saint in the future, you will naturally understand the meaning of it. You will also be able to do this kind of magic."
"Then I will accept your auspicious words." Jiang Wen said with a wry smile. He felt that he still had a long way to go before he could reach the realm of a saint. After all, he had learned the difference between a saint and a Taoist from Saint Chunyang and Jiang Wenji.
That is an insurmountable gap, and it is difficult to understand its meaning without experiencing it.
"I have nothing else now, and I have nothing to give you." Jiang Wenji said softly. "I will give you the baby after I return."
"It's a great fortune to be favored by the king. I don't ask for anything else." Jiang Wen said seriously.
"Nonsense." Jiang Wenji glanced at him. "I always believe in reciprocity, so just don't refuse."
"Since the King of Heaven says so, I will respectfully obey your command." Jiang Wen did not refuse anymore. He knew that once Jiang Wenjie promised something, she would fulfill it no matter how difficult it was.
The two of them walked around the street, chatting to each other, like ordinary friends.
When they arrived at a restaurant, Jiang Wenji looked up and said slowly, "It seems she has been waiting for me."
Jiang Wen also looked up and saw Xue sitting by the window looking at them.
He was speechless, then followed Jiang Wenjie into the restaurant.
Sitting on one side, the snow is still calm.
She and Jiang Wenji looked at each other, and neither of them had anything to say for a while. The atmosphere was really a bit weird, so Jiang Wen decided to break the silence.
"Um, would you like something to drink?" Jiang Wen said with a sullen smile.
He was caught in the middle and felt a bit awkward. After all, he and Xue were accomplices, and now he had to face the victim. Even if he was thick-skinned, he couldn't avoid being embarrassed.
"All is fine." Xue replied softly.
Jiang Wen took out two jars of nectar, and then took out three luminous cups. He filled them with wine and handed them to the two women.
"Thank you." Xue said.
"It tastes good." Jiang Wenji took a bite and praised it. "It suits my taste."
"If you like it, I'll give you some." Jiang Wen blurted out when he heard Jiang Wenjie's praise.
"I want a few jars too," Xue said again.
"Give you some too."
"Thank you."
Jiang Wen held the wine jar and watched Xue and Jiang Wenji staring at each other quietly. Although he did not have any emotional fluctuations, he felt very uncomfortable.
