The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 993 - 465: The President’s Foreshadowing

Gu Jianlin suddenly felt a deep shock, because based on his years of experience, "plain" should refer to spiritual union, while "rich" refers to the physical and palpable connection.

Before coming here, he definitely hadn’t considered these matters. Meticulous as he was, he started to panic.

He underestimated something.

Tang Ling’s hair changing from white to red was undoubtedly due to her inability to tolerate the restraint of the former personality, thus she let the latter, who was better at handling such situations, take the initiative. After all, both personalities were hers, so there’s no loss no matter who comes forth.

"Don’t overthink. With the urgency of life, let’s not concern ourselves with irrelevant details. I have people to kill, things to investigate. We’re all adults here, just taking what we need. I need to become stronger, and the Third Law is so precious; merely using Dual Cultivation to exchange is actually taking advantage of you."

She succeeded in her teasing, proudly crossing her arms: "Of course, don’t treat me like a loose woman. If it were someone else, even if practicing the Third Law would grant Supreme Level, I wouldn’t compromise."

This was a disguised confession.

She’s not the type to resort to any means for power.

Only because it’s you.

Gu Jianlin was stunned, feeling as if he was the one caught up in trivial matters from her words.

We’re all heroes saving the world, and also avenging the world based on the principles and justice represented by the President. It’s like the heroes and heroines in martial arts novels who, for the justice of the world, end up sharing a bed, then dress and remain comrades fighting demons, enjoying life.

In the current situation, there’s truly no other way.

"If I become stronger, can I continue to protect you?"

Tang Ling suddenly reached out and touched his hair, speaking softly: "Just like before."

When they first met in Peak City, Gu Jianlin was still a weak newcomer.

While Tang Ling was the Princess of the Order World, high above.

At that time, perhaps due to similar experiences, she protected him in every way, helping him both overtly and covertly.

Not hesitating to offend the Judgement Court, confronting those big figures.

Even defying the President’s intentions, accompanying him in his madness.

After doing mischievous things, they drove that Lamborghini, speeding through the city.

Like rebellious children.

Now everything cannot be reclaimed, the rebellious opportunities of the past children are gone forever.

Because those who would scold them are no longer around.

Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment, then silently smiled.

Besides laughing, he didn’t know how to respond.

"You haven’t called me senior sister in a long time either."

Tang Ling said intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Jianlin hesitated: "Actually, I still think of you as senior sister..."

Tang Ling suddenly raised her hand and interrupted him.

Her movements were decisive, like lifting a sword, fierce and cold: "I want to be your senior sister not because I need to suppress you, but because the world has been too unfair to you. That’s why I want to become stronger. If there’s anything the world owes you, I’ll compensate you!"

Gu Jianlin found it hard to believe these words came from a girl.

If there’s anything the world owes you, I’ll compensate you.

Her voice echoed in his ears, stirring something deep within him.

"After my parents found out about our situation, they actually disagreed with me staying by your side. Not because they had an opinion of you, but because you were entangled with too much karma, even involving those ancient gods. You might face many dangers and risks of dying. But because of this, I absolutely can’t leave you."

Tang Ling raised her pale, delicate little finger: "Do you want to make another promise?"

They once made a promise.

Gu Jianlin helps her find out the truth of her great-grandfather, and she’s responsible for accompanying him in killing.

Because of this, they became the most trusted comrades.

This led to the joyous union on the Stairway to Immortality.

"What?"

Gu Jianlin asked instinctively.

"If you need it, I can always stay by your side, accompany you in anything."

Tang Ling raised her rose-colored eyes, speaking softly: "But don’t let yourself suffer too much, okay?"

Bang.

Gu Jianlin seemed to hear the sound of a gunfire, hitting right in his chest.

Shattering all his defenses.

The cold scent rushed over him.

Tang Ling suddenly stood up and initiated a kiss on his lips. At this moment, fragmented memories surged like a flood, the roaring wind on the Stairway to Immortality, the girl’s soft whispers by his ear, and that enchanting dream.

Gu Jianlin couldn’t even distinguish whether this was reality or a dream, because he suddenly felt his body heat up, the blood flow speeding up, his heartbeat becoming intense, and desire perpetually growing, engulfing him.

In a trance, he seemed to hear a familiar cold chuckle, as if mocking his naivety and ignorance.

Tang Ling’s delicate body suddenly tensed, her beautiful eyes widened.

Just when she was about to enter the dream, she sensed something was off.

But it was too late.

"Wait, wait...mmm."

In the garden of Luodong District’s residential area, someone was playing chess in the pavilion.

"Sometimes I wonder, is Master really a proper person?"

Huai Yin fiddled with a white chess piece and said suspiciously: "Why could she research... that kind of thing?"

This catastrophe, transcending two worlds for over two hundred years, was expressed with utter bewilderment and confusion, which shouldn’t appear on his face, but he truly couldn’t understand it.

"If she’s really a proper person, then how could she teach the two of us?"

Jiang Yanli shrugged: "If Master really wants to do something, she can truly do it without any limits. Wasn’t that kid known for having strong willpower? Try defeating him from the body. It’s lucky his rank isn’t high enough; once he ascends to the Holy Land, the desire poison won’t affect him."

Huai Yin said quietly: "The dose Master gave him is afraid to be ten times more."

Jiang Yanli was stunned: "Ten times? How much would that cost?"

Huai Yin calculated with his fingers: "Prized yet unavailable; if auctioned, it might fetch 4.2 billion dollars."

Jiang Yanli placed a black piece, sighed: "Master is remarkable indeed."

"After all, it’s a win-win situation. Thunder is Master’s chosen successor, inheriting the Third Law is reasonable. Furthermore, in her view, nothing compares to the strongest ties of affection and love. With that kid’s personality, if anything really happens, he’ll take care of someone else for a lifetime."

Huai Yin thought for a moment: "Of course, Thunder is also whom Master personally chose to be the one by his side."

Jiang Yanli scrutinized the chessboard and snorted coldly: "Useless bunch! Letting your family get stolen by others!"

Huai Yin knew who he was talking about and comforted: "Actually, I also really like the little girl from your family. Maybe there’ll be a chance to overtake the curve later, right? Tell me, what’s your next plan?"

Jiang Yanli toyed with the chess pieces, speaking blandly: "Hold a press conference."

Huai Yin raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

"Taking this opportunity to reveal the dark side of order to the world, destroying their faith, as a form of mobilization before the war? By then, Platinum’s reaction should be quite amusing, right?"

Jiang Yanli laughed: "Speaking of which, the fact that Gold and Silver will join the rebellion this time, I didn’t expect. Gold... well, this guy, although rigid and old-fashioned, is after all a fanatic believer of the teacher, so it’s not surprising to betray Master. But why would Silver also join the chaos? Master has always favored this youngest student, who’s been the most obedient these years, yet why now?"

Huai Yin quietly gazed at the chessboard and softly said: "I also want to ask her face-to-face, what exactly is the reason."
