The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 70
Based on the text you provided, here is a complete English translation:
Xu Cu’s eyelashes fluttered as she looked at Ji Mingxiao.
“In the future, think before you act.”
“Yes, master, I understand.”
“Just one bad deed is enough to destroy all the good reputation you had before.”
Xu Cu nodded.
“After this wedding banquet, you will go out to train again.”
“Yes.” Xu Cu understood what Ji Mingxiao meant and wasn’t as resistant this time. She still saw Ji Mingxiao through rose-tinted glasses.
She believed that if the other person said this, it must be for her own good.
Xu Cu tightened her grip on her cup.
Ji Mingxiao was constantly paying attention to Xi Ruan, but the latter had completely forgotten her, chatting and laughing with others, looking incredibly happy.
She let out a soft snort, feeling a little sour inside.
She usually spent time with her too, so why had she never smiled so happily?
Xi Ruan inadvertently glanced at Ji Mingxiao, and the smile on her face subconsciously faded a bit.
Ji Mingxiao lowered her head and took a sip of tea, feeling slightly annoyed.
It wasn’t until the wedding officially began that Xi Ruan returned. She looked at Xi Ruan.
Xi Ruan blinked, not understanding why Ji Mingxiao’s gaze was so resentful. She hadn’t done anything.
This wedding was very boring and lasted for a long time, a full ten days. It was just a large-scale gossip session, which was incredibly tedious.
Ji Mingxiao originally wanted to leave early, but Xi Ruan was having a great time gossiping with others.
In the end, she thought it over and held back. This person had always been a chatterbox; she was probably feeling suffocated.
On the tenth day, when they could finally leave, Ji Mingxiao felt she had been completely drained, while Xi Ruan still looked like she could go on.
“Do you really have that much to talk about?” Ji Mingxiao looked at Xi Ruan.
Xi Ruan’s steps were light and cheerful: “In the immortal realm for so many years, there’s a lot of gossip. How could ten days be enough?”
“They’re not even people you know. What’s so good about listening to gossip?” Ji Mingxiao deeply felt this was a waste of life.
Xi Ruan gave a light snort: “Anyway, I’ve already exchanged jade slips with them. They’ll call me to go out and have fun later.”
Ji Mingxiao gave Xi Ruan another resentful look, then turned and went straight back to her courtyard.
Xu Cu didn’t have much emotion about Xi Ruan’s popularity. When she heard that Xi Ruan was going to go out with others, she was in a good mood. As long as Xi Ruan left, the entire immortal mansion would be just her and her master.
It was a pity that she also had to go out for training.
After both of her disciples went out to have fun, Ji Mingxiao was completely a lonely old person.
And the plot point was also getting closer.
Supreme Immortal Bixiao has become a demon. His lover of a thousand years, Immortal Lingxiao, is a demon spy.
Ji Mingxiao’s reaction to this was: What a melodramatic plot.
Supreme Immortal Bixiao went out of control after becoming a demon, slaughtering his entire immortal mansion. After he became slightly lucid, he looked at the blood-red scene in his mansion and fell into madness again.
When Ji Mingxiao arrived, a group of people had already gone up. Supreme Immortal Bixiao’s strength was only second to Supreme Immortal Wuyin. After becoming a demon, his cultivation had actually increased a lot, resulting in heavy casualties.
That Immortal Lingxiao had already fled, leaving only Supreme Immortal Bixiao here.
Xi Ruan and her little sisters were also there. Two of them were Supreme Immortal Bixiao’s disciples. Xi Ruan was holding them back, not letting them go over.
After seeing Xi Ruan, Ji Mingxiao waved her sleeve, sending them to a safe area. Then she drew her sword and blocked Supreme Immortal Bixiao.
The other’s eyes were bloodshot and lifeless. When he saw Ji Mingxiao, a dark light seemed to flash in his eyes, and he charged towards her.
Ji Mingxiao was expressionless. Although it was a bit difficult, she could still manage.
“Get someone to wait at the entrance of the demon realm!” Ji Mingxiao shouted.
Everyone else immediately reacted. When all eyes were on this place, the demon race would probably take advantage of the situation.
While fighting Supreme Immortal Bixiao, Ji Mingxiao’s silver needles were also constantly shooting out.
She had recently started reading medical texts and didn’t know if it would work.
She had already shot out seven silver needles, but Supreme Immortal Bixiao didn’t seem to have any change.
Others wanted to come and help, but they couldn’t get involved at all.
The decorations from the big wedding had not yet been removed. Now, mixed with the ruins of the immortal mansion, they looked desolate and ironic.
When Ji Mingxiao shot out the nineteenth silver needle, Supreme Immortal Bixiao finally reacted. His body swayed and he fell from the sky, lying on the ground motionless.
Ji Mingxiao had basically just been maneuvering against him and didn’t expend much effort.
She stood next to him. Supreme Immortal Bixiao seemed to be crying, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Ji Mingxiao sighed quietly and looked at Xi Ruan again. The other person was rubbing her chest, looking relieved.
Supreme Immortal Bixiao was taken away, and Ji Mingxiao led the remaining people to the entrance of the demon realm.
As expected, a fight had already started at the entrance.
Ji Mingxiao looked at Canglan in the crowd and the others who had prevented the last battle between immortals and demons. She wondered if they regretted starting a preemptive strike now.
She also saw Xu Cu. She raised an eyebrow. The other person pulled someone away from the hands of the demon race.
The other person also saw Ji Mingxiao, but just glanced at her and turned her head back.
Ji Mingxiao raised an eyebrow. She raised her hand and casually swung two swords, and a group of demons perished.
Xi Ruan followed behind Ji Mingxiao, frowning. She glanced at Ji Mingxiao and then also went down.
Ji Mingxiao watched her from a distance. Xi Ruan wielded her sword with a powerful vigor. It looked like the sword technique she taught, but on closer inspection, it wasn’t quite the same.
She couldn’t help but laugh softly.
After the demon war, they should be able to go back.
Ji Mingxiao did not go down. She just occasionally swung two swords. She was waiting for the Demon Lord.
Others also knew she was waiting for the Demon Lord and did not come to call her.
The Demon Lord was on the other side of the barrier. He had originally intended to use Supreme Immortal Bixiao to hold back Ji Mingxiao, but he never expected that the other person would be so easily dealt with by Ji Mingxiao.
Knowing that she had come to the barrier, he hoped she would get involved and expend her energy.
However…
“Why is this Wuyin just standing there!” The Demon Lord was a little agitated, looking at the mirror in his hand.
Ji Mingxiao breaking into the demon realm was definitely the nightmare of his life.
The Demon Lord looked at Ji Mingxiao, who also looked in a certain direction, meeting the Demon Lord’s gaze.
His body trembled. The next second, he heard a “crack.”
The Demon Lord: Damn it! The barrier is broken again!
The Demon Lord looked up and saw the sword in Ji Mingxiao’s hand.
“Why don’t you come out!” Ji Mingxiao said with a hint of disdain.
The Demon Lord: …
The Demon Lord took two steps back, but was still grabbed by the collar by Ji Mingxiao and dragged directly out of the demon realm to the immortal realm.
The crowd fighting at the entrance paused for a second subconsciously.
The Demon Lord’s heart felt tired. At this point, he didn’t care about his pride anymore. Anyway, his pride was long gone.
After breaking free from Ji Mingxiao’s hand, he smiled at her and straightened his collar. Although his pride was gone, he still wanted to maintain some image: “Supreme Immortal Wuyin is very powerful.”
“Thanks for the compliment.” Ji Mingxiao was expressionless.
“Since you’re so powerful, why not go to the human world for a look?” The Demon Lord smiled.
Ji Mingxiao also smiled: “No hurry.”
The Demon Lord had a bad feeling.
Not long ago, Ji Mingxiao had contacted the demon race. Their numbers were very small, and it was not easy for them to become immortals. It took hundreds of years for an ordinary animal to gain spiritual intelligence, and then hundreds or thousands more years to cultivate.
Ji Mingxiao made a deal with them. As long as they killed a certain number of demons invading the human world, she could help them become immortals. If they killed fewer demons, they could get immortal pills as a reward.
With the words “become an immortal” placed in front, any demon would be tempted.
Under a great reward, there must be brave men.
As for whether she would help a wicked demon become an immortal, Ji Mingxiao didn’t consider it. After all, even if they became an immortal, they would still die.
“Why aren’t you talking?” Ji Mingxiao looked at the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord’s heart was tired and a little annoyed: “What is there to say? What else is there to say?”
“Alright.” Ji Mingxiao nodded.
The next second, the Demon Lord saw the sword appear in front of his eyes.
Damn, this woman is even more terrifying!
Xi Ruan was helping from the back. Since she had been cultivating for a short time, it was naturally impossible for her to help on the front lines. Most people used magic attacks, and light could be seen from a distance, with occasional loud bangs.
She was a little flustered. She would occasionally look into the distance, but her movements couldn’t stop.
“Don’t worry, Supreme Immortal Wuyin is very powerful; nothing will happen,” someone next to her said, noticing Xi Ruan’s expression.
Xi Ruan smiled: “Mhmm.”
She wasn’t flustered at all. Not at all.
Xi Ruan’s movements sped up significantly.
She knew very few people and had very few people to chat with. The last time she finally met a few people, their master had such a thing happen, and now they were not in the mood to talk.
There were not many seriously injured people. So far, no one on the immortal realm’s side had died, while the demon race had suffered heavy casualties. Ji Mingxiao’s few sword strikes gave the immortal realm great courage. Compared to the demon realm, the Demon Lord being captured by Ji Mingxiao had a huge impact on the morale of the demons.
In the past, the immortal-demon wars would eventually involve all six realms, resulting in heavy casualties. But this time, it was surprisingly okay. The death rate of the human race was controlled, so it wouldn’t affect the underworld. The divine realm was long gone, and the demon realm was on Ji Mingxiao’s side. The immortal-demon war was ultimately confined to the immortal and demon realms.
The Demon Lord was very agitated. Every time Ji Mingxiao fought, she wouldn’t completely defeat him. After winning, she would throw him back and then capture him again the next day to continue. This back and forth would wear anyone down, and the morale of the demon realm became increasingly low.
“Why don’t you just finish it in one go?” Supreme Immortal Feihe looked at Ji Mingxiao, a little speechless.
“Because it’s too boring.” Ji Mingxiao looked at the barrier and calculated the time.
Supreme Immortal Feihe thought there was some special reason, but it turned out to be just this.
“What else did you think?” Ji Mingxiao glanced at the people who were resting and didn’t see Xu Cu. She frowned.
Her spiritual sense spread out. She felt that the other person was in the resting area for the wounded in the back and frowned.
Injured?
But she clearly wasn’t injured. Ji Mingxiao suddenly had a bad feeling.
Supreme Immortal Feihe wanted to say something else, but when she turned her head, she found that Ji Mingxiao was gone.
On the other side, Xi Ruan looked at Xu Cu standing in front of her and took two steps back: “What do you want to do?”
