Chapter 1687: Chapter 1688: Daji
You and Du Yanan form a horn angle, spreading out in a semicircle with the chivalrous man, guarding against the surroundings to the greatest extent.
"You’ve come."
Again, that voice!
However, this time everyone heard this voice.
The mist hadn’t dispersed yet, and at this moment you all consciously stopped, forming a circle to face the surroundings.
"After so many years, you finally came to see your humble self."
This voice doesn’t sound seductive, yet it seems weak and helpless, as if a girl with no support were pouring out her heart to her lover.
At first, you all thought it was Daji’s usual trick to confuse people, but soon, when Daji uttered the third sentence, you all instinctively looked at you.
"Brother Nine, all these years, have you been well? How is Aunt’s health? I suppose Sister might have already married?"
Upon hearing this, your brows couldn’t help but furrow; you never expected Daji to target you first.
Du Yanan immediately said coldly: "Goblin! Stop hiding, if you have the guts, show your true body!"
Daji ignored Du Yanan and continued to express and inquire: "Goodness knows how long it has been since I saw Father, I wonder if his foot ailment has improved? Brother Nine, come closer, let me take a good look at you."
Facing the unknown danger, you dared not act recklessly, so you spoke: "Queen Su, I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else."
"Brother Nine, even through a thousand cycles of reincarnation, I still remember those days counting stars and longing for dawn."
"Hum!"
Du Yanan snorted coldly, having an overwhelming sense of justice as a criminal police officer; she had no good feelings for the fox fairy burdened with countless sins, and immediately pointed her sword towards the direction of the voice, exclaiming: "Daji! You and the Zhou King murdered the righteous, slaughtered the innocent, burdening yourselves with countless crimes, today we shall carry out justice!"
Seeing Du Yanan taking on the heroic stance of a female detective, you couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up and laughingly say: "Lao Du, not bad, a woman can be as good as a man!"
"Young sister, what you just said were merely slanders by Ji Fa and Jiang Shang. I thought you were someone who understands reason, didn’t expect you to be so muddle-headed."
"I..."
Du Yanan was about to retort but was stopped by Wei Yingyue, who shook her head towards Du Yanan then looked at you, signaling you to proceed as the situation demands.
You shrugged, didn’t expect Daji to mistake you for someone else, but because of this, the probability of defeating her got larger. Moreover, from the way Daji speaks, you hear she’s at least not someone who loves to kill, perhaps there’re other ways to complete this task.
Now, you slowly opened your mouth and said: "I’ve always disliked beating around the bush. Today we came here to defeat you, overthrow Emperor Xin’s tyrannical rule, and bring peace to the Earth Spirit Realm."
After a moment of silence, Daji spoke sadly: "A thousand-year reincarnation, fleeting days like ephemera. Brother Nine, I am here, if you want my heart, you can have it, this heart belongs to you. After taking it, please cherish it well."
As she spoke, the dense fog began to disperse, and your vision gradually widened.
At this time, none of you had the mindset to pay attention to the surroundings; everyone was intensely watching the woman sitting gracefully on the carpet in front of you.
The woman’s silhouette appeared weak and fragile; merely looking at her back arouses a strong sense of compassion, an urge to protect her grows naturally, let alone taking her heart.
Surprisingly, there were no demon soldiers beside the woman, nor any cold weapons; she was merely sitting there, facing away, with a vast white mist ahead. At this moment, rays of dawn flashed, coloring the mist golden, extraordinarily beautiful.
The woman’s clothing was very simple, a plain robe wrapped her body, long hair dropping to her shoulders, without a single ornament.
Looking at the woman’s back, your brows began to furrow slowly, because this silhouette was extremely familiar, strikingly familiar.
"You... turn around."
You stepped forward and spoke to Daji clad in white plain attire.
As you said, Daji slowly turned around, revealing her face before you all, aside from you and Wei Yingyue, everyone was astonished.
This beauty reached a flawless state; simply from looking at her, it felt like seeing the most beautiful scenery of life; looking at her brings peace and poetic admiration.
However, Wei Yingyue and yourself were completely shaken, especially you immediately jumped up and blurted out: "Zisu, why is it you?"
Your remark puzzled those who hadn’t met Yan Zisu, whereas seeing Wei Yingyue also astonished, Du Yanan softly asked: "Little Yue, is she Mu Yun’s girlfriend?"
Wei Yingyue subconsciously nodded, then shook her head, saying: "They resemble nine times out of ten, the aura is identical, if this is also a coincidence, then I truly have nothing to say."
Initially, Du Yanan considered that your girlfriend might be at most a little girl similar to Deng Fang, while Du Yanan thought of her own beauty and elegance as not bad, confident she could gradually blend into your life. However, Wei Yingyue’s remark nearly shattered all her hopes.
Not to mention, just looking at Daji naturally gives Du Yanan a sense of defeat.
She lost not in appearance but in the perfection and spiritual enjoyment Yan Zisu brought to others. Such a woman shouldn’t exist in the mortal world!
"Brother Nine, through this thousand-year reincarnation, your appearance hasn’t changed, come to me, let me have a good look at you."
You didn’t approach her but fiercely furrowed your brows, this coincidence was too absurd. If not for your familiarity with Yan Zisu, you would surely think the developer had involved Yan Zisu too, but evidently, the person before you wasn’t Yan Zisu, she indeed was Daji, all you could say was, how incredibly coincidental this is!
"Brother Nine, are you mad at your humble self?" Seeing you unmoved, Daji spoke sorrowfully, "In those years Emperor Xin attacked the tribe personally, Father offered your humble self to calm the war. To save myself, I used a secret technique on Emperor Xin and made others build this Star-picking Tower, only to escape to this Thousand Life Reincarnation, hoping one day to meet Brother Nine once more."
"Nonsense, the evil deeds you’ve done have been written into books by later generations. In these thousands of years, haven’t there been few who cursed you?" After a brief moment of bewilderment, Xu Mingjie began to verbally criticize Daji.
Daji didn’t defend much, she just sighed deeply.
Daji seemed unwilling to say more, then slowly stood up; as she stood, everyone became tense, even the chivalrous man aimed his weapon at Daji.
