Chapter 619 Past Fate

Venerable Bisong patted Jiang Li's head kindly and said, "Good child, your master has something to say to you."

Jiang Li turned to Mingxuan Zhenjun curiously: "Master, what do you want to tell me?"

Seeing the serious expressions on her teachers' faces, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Mingxuan Zhenjun felt very upset. After all, how could the Sword Sect so easily take away their Beast Taming Sect's precious treasure?

He adopted a defiant stance, refusing to budge an inch. He had clearly reached an agreement with the Purple Sun Sword Master to first arrange the engagement, and then hold a dual cultivation ceremony after Jiang Li advanced to the Golden Core stage.

The Sword Sect also agreed to give the Beast Taming Sect the due respect to show their sincerity in seeking a marriage alliance.

Unexpectedly, the incident happened so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard!

After discussing with Venerable Bisong and Venerable Qingyuan, True Lord Mingxuan had no choice but to agree to the proposal of Venerable Ziyang Sword.

But this makes it seem like their Beast Taming Sect is rushing to curry favor with True Monarch Chonghua!

Mingxuan Zhenjun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Afraid of frightening his little disciple, he could only take a deep breath and try to soften his expression. He said gently, "Lili, your master and grandmaster have discussed it and decided to let you become Daoist partners with Chonghua Zhenjun."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li's brain went blank for several seconds, her eyes widening in disbelief.

What did she hear? Who became Daoist partners with whom?

Xie Chang'an was overjoyed. He stepped forward, lifted his robe, knelt down, and respectfully performed a grand salute: "Venerable Xie Chonghua and True Lord, please grant our request!"

Jiang Li finally realized what was happening. She pointed at herself in shock, then at Xie Chang'an, "Master, you mean... I... and he... have become Daoist partners?!"

Xie Chang'an looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness: "My heart for my junior sister is as clear as the sun and moon, and as witnessed by heaven and earth. From now on, I will be devoted to my junior sister with all my heart, and my love will never waver in this life!"

Jiang Li looked incredulous: "Didn't we just meet a few days ago?"

You think you can prove yourselves to me as clear as the sun and moon, or as witness as heaven and earth? You're kidding me.

A hint of sadness flashed in Xie Chang'an's eyes: "No."

We were husband and wife for twenty years...

Mingxuan Zhenjun cleared his throat: "Lili, there's a reason for this..."

Jiang Li jumped up in anger, "Master! I'm only fifteen years old, still a baby! Are you in such a hurry to marry me off as a child bride?"

Venerable Bisong sighed, "Lili, this was actually to protect you."

Jiang Li's eyes widened even more. What kind of protection was this?

Xie Chang'an also looked at his master in surprise, wondering what had happened.

Then Venerable Bisong said, "Qingyuan, you speak."

Qingyuan Zhenjun slowly said, "The Demon King sent a letter claiming that the prince of their Soul-Eating Insect clan was killed by Chonghua Zhenjun and Lili, leaving no trace of his body and his soul scattered!"

Jiang Li's beautiful eyes widened. When did she kill the prince of the demon race?!

Xie Chang'an was taken aback, his expression turned solemn, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

"Sect Master, I don't know any demon prince at all! You're saying I killed him?"

Jiang Li looked on incredulously, "They killed him together with True Monarch Chonghua?! I've only known True Monarch Chonghua for a few days!"

Besides, why would a dignified Nascent Soul True Lord need to join forces with a mere disciple like me?

It's simply a horror of slipping the world!

True Monarch Mingxuan slowly said, "Now that things have come to this, your master will no longer hide it from you. On the day True Monarch Chonghua underwent his tribulation, you were struck by tribulation lightning, and your soul left your body, going to the small world where he was training..."

Jiang Li was shocked. During the time she was unconscious, she had been to a small world?

Why do I have absolutely no recollection of it?

Mingxuan Zhenjun said, "After your soul returned, your master was afraid that you would be caught up in the past and affect your Dao heart, so he sealed that memory of yours. It cannot be unsealed until you reach the Golden Core stage."

Jiang Li was stunned.

"So, what did I do in the small world?"

"...Did I really kill that demon prince?"

Mingxuan Zhenjun snorted: "How would I know what happened to you in the small world? You can only ask Chonghua Zhenjun for details."

Jiang Li then turned her gaze to Xie Chang'an, her eyes resolute, "Please inform me, True Lord!"

Xie Chang'an said softly, "Alright. Junior Sister is intelligent and resilient, a woman who is no less capable than any man. She has made a name for herself in the small world and has accomplished a great career. Her merits are immeasurable. I, as her senior brother, truly admire her and am ashamed of my own inferiority!"

Jiang Li stared in disbelief: "Really?"

Is she that powerful in the lower realm?

Upon hearing this, Venerable Bisong, True Lord Mingxuan, and True Lord Qingyuan all smiled with pride.

The Purple Sun Sword Master was also quite interested and said with a smile, "Chonghua, please tell me in detail."

Xie Chang'an then recounted how Jiang Li rose from the brink of despair to become the Prince of Jing'an.

"Although she was a woman, she became the prince's chief strategist, not only helping him to the throne, but also conquering the southern border, the western regions, and the eastern islands in just a few years, unifying the world and winning the hearts of all. Such great talent and strategy is enough to make countless men ashamed!"

"She also united all the Taoist sects and the demon race into one, established the Heavenly Mystery Camp, commanded the army, navy, and air force, and laid out an enormous net of heaven and earth..."

As Xie Chang'an recounted Jiang Li's "great achievements," he couldn't help but feel elated and proud.

This is his little fox spirit. How could he not fall deeply in love with such an outstanding woman and have her forever etched in his heart?

Jiang Li was shocked, but she couldn't help but feel smug. Wow, I was so amazing!

Mingxuan Zhenjun suppressed the upward curve of his lips and asked again, "What about the prince of the Soul-Seizing Insect Clan? What happened to him?"

"He was also affected by my tribulation lightning and unexpectedly came to that world."

Xie Chang'an then revealed how the Soul-Absorbing Insect was struck by lightning and sent to the small world, how it merged with the fragments of the Reincarnation Mirror, and how it became a Mirror Demon, committing numerous evil deeds and harming countless people.

He not only wanted to devour his and Jiang Li's souls, but also wanted to sacrifice the beings of an entire realm to break through the void and return to the upper realm.

Such heinous acts deserve to be punished by everyone!

He and Jiang Li fought against that monster for many years, and finally killed it, ridding the people of a scourge!

Jiang Li was stunned. So, that demon prince really did die at the hands of her and Xie Chang'an?

Xie Chang'an looked at her with deep affection and then said something that left her speechless.

"My junior sister and I met and fell in love in the mortal realm. Over time, we developed feelings for each other and became husband and wife. We have been loving and affectionate for twenty years and have vowed to be faithful to each other for all eternity until death."

"Now that I have fulfilled my promise, I only hope that my junior sister and I can rekindle our past relationship and fly together as a pair."

Jiang Li was shocked again. She had actually been married to True Monarch Chonghua for twenty years in the small world?

She stared blankly, "But I don't remember anything..."

Xie Chang'an said gently, "It's alright, I can wait."

When you think of me, when you think of our unwavering love and carefree life.

Venerable Bisong pondered and said, "I have a question. Since the Soul-Absorbing Insect was already destroyed in the small world, how did the Demon King know that he died at the hands of Chonghua and Lili?"

Qingyuan Zhenjun also said, "That's right. The only people who know about this are Chonghua Zhenjun, Lili, and the spirit of the Samsara Mirror."

The Purple Sun Sword Master said in a deep voice, "As the Heavenly Dao of a small world, the Mirror Spirit will never utter a single word!"
