No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Chapter 354 I Should Have Lied Earlier

Jiangnan plans to take things one step at a time. It's time to go back and continue the mission.

Lie Danqing grabbed Jiangnan and pressed him, "When is it? Where are you going?"

"Besides, I'll just say it again. Also, I don't have any obligation to report where I'm going, right?"

"Of course I have an obligation. You accepted my token of love and are now my fiancée."

Jiangnan turned around and glared at him, then said, "I'll give it back to you." Then he entered the crack and left.

She doesn't intend to entrust her future to anyone until everything is settled.

It would be the same even if that person was Cui Ji.

----

Inside the Yinlusi, Cui Ji stopped writing and stared ahead vigilantly.

The crack opened, and a familiar figure popped out, waving and greeting, "Little Jiji, how have you been lately?"

The vigilance on Cui Ji's face disappeared and was replaced by a smile.

"It's you. Long time no see."

"really."

Cui Ji looked at Jiangnan's clothes. She used to wear plain white clothes without any makeup.

Now she knows how to dress up. Her single bun, made of a hairpin, is decorated with wild flowers that can be seen everywhere on the roadside. She wears light makeup and simple jade earrings.

The necklace around her neck is the most eye-catching accessory on her body.

The light green skirt was paired with a flowing light pink shawl. The change had not been seen for a long time, and Cui Ji couldn't help but stare at it.

"Xiao Jiji, why don't you say anything? Don't you welcome me?"

Cui Ji came back to his senses, coughed lightly to suppress his emotions, and covered it up: "No, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Jiangnan smiled and said, "I missed you, so I came here."

Cui Ji's face instantly turned red, and he turned his head and said, "Stop making trouble."

"Okay, I do have something to talk to you about." Jiangnan said, pulling out the only hairpin that held her hair in place, and fallen petals followed her hair, falling like a waterfall.

Cui Ji was stunned again, his Adam's apple sliding uncontrollably a few times.

"Could you please help me look at this?"

Jiangnan raised the hand holding the hairpin in front of Cui Ji, but the other party seemed not to see it and did not respond at all.

"No way? Not even you? I'm not really going to marry that guy, am I?"

Hearing the word "marry", Cui Ji immediately came to his senses and asked, "Marry whom?"

Jiangnan told Cui Ji about the hairpin and asked him if there was any way to forcibly terminate the contract with the artifact.

"Divine weapons are different from spiritual weapons. They have self-awareness and will choose their own affiliation. As for the method of forcibly terminating the contract... give me some time."

Seeing Jiangnan nod in agreement, Cui Ji went to the bookshelf, took out the book and looked through it.

I don’t know how many hours passed, Jiangnan woke up, and Cui Ji was still searching for a solution among the bookshelves.

Jiangnan yawned, got out of bed, walked to Cui Ji, looked at the endless bookshelf, and didn't want to trouble him anymore.

"Forget it if you can't find it. I'll think of a solution myself."

Cui Ji said without even looking up: "I will find it, just give me some time."

"Okay, don't push yourself, it's not a big deal."

Cui Ji suddenly closed the book and looked towards Jiangnan.

There was no expression on his face, but one could feel his anger.

This was also the first time Jiangnan felt scared when he saw his double pupils.

Cui Ji closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and returned to a gentle tone before asking, "Do you like making lists?"

Jiangnan answered immediately: "I don't like it."

Cui Ji opened his eyes and used his double pupils to confirm that she was telling the truth. He smiled with satisfaction and continued to ask, "Do you have someone you like?"

"It should count."

Cui Ji's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he asked tentatively, "Who is it?"

"You."

Jiangnan spoke lightly and casually, without any of the youthfulness of first love. Instead, it seemed like he was speaking casually and perfunctorily. Others who heard it would probably think he was joking.

But who is Cui Ji? He is the judge who can distinguish truth from lies.

The book in his hand slipped and he took a few steps back in disbelief. His whole body turned red. Not wanting Jiangnan to see his embarrassment at the moment, he raised his sleeves to cover his face and ran away.

This series of actions left Jiangnan confused.

"What is this? Did I scare you away?"

Jiangnan bent down to pick up the fallen book and put it back on the bookshelf.

She stood there waiting for Cui Ji for a long time, but he didn't come back.

"Am I disliked? Or are you avoiding me? I should have lied earlier."

Jiangnan patted his face, forced a smile, and pulled himself out of his loss.

"Now is not the time for me to think about love affairs, so I'd better not think about it."

After thinking about what to do next, Jiangnan took a last look at the direction Cui Ji ran, broke through the void, turned around and left.

At this time, Cui Ji was hiding behind the bookshelf, pacing back and forth, rehearsing how to express his feelings to Jiangnan.

Don't be too frivolous, or the other person will think you're joking.

But you can't be too serious, otherwise the other person will think you are old-fashioned and boring.

After thinking for a while and deciding what to do, he returned to his original position and found that Jiangnan had left.

"I wasted too much time."

His gaze returned to the bookshelf, continuing to search for a way to cancel the contract.

If you ask him why he is so obsessed with this matter?

A token of love is the bond between two people. The more "precious" the token is, the more complicated the bond between the two people will be, and even after death, the bond between them will continue to linger.

The gifted artifact recognized its owner, which was equivalent to Jiangnan tacitly accepting the "fate" that was clearly stated.

This was totally unacceptable to Cui Ji.

"Make a list, the best person for you to pursue is Hua Su."

----

Jiangnan came out of the crack and the familiar fog appeared in front of him again.

"Are you a dog-skin plaster?"

Lie Danqing appeared beside Jiangnan. He lifted up Jiangnan's hair, which he had not combed yet, and kissed it on his lips.

"It smells good. But, there's still a lingering yin energy about you. Let me guess where you've been."

Jiangnan lifted her hair and let it slip through Lie Danqing's fingers. After regaining her freedom, she casually tied it up on her head with a hairpin.

Lie Danqing jokingly said, "You don't have to resist me so much. After all, you will be the one sleeping with me in the future."

Jiangnan frowned slightly, thinking that if he fought with Lie Danqing now, he had a chance of winning, so he decided to reveal his cards.

"I'm not Hua Su."

"I know."

"She's dead."

"Of course I know."

"I sent her soul to reincarnation. Your resurrection plan failed from the very beginning."

After saying this, Jiangnan became more alert, ready to fight him at any time.

Unexpectedly, Lie Danqing was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Of course I know! Thank you!"

Jiangnan was stunned.

Luo Shiyu was also stunned.

What's going on here? Isn't he deeply in love with Hua Su? Why don't I understand?
