Ella closed her lips in a firm line, contemplating the words of one of her protectors before reaching a decision. With a subtle manipulation of the space around her, she closed the gap between herself and Jayson, enveloping him in a tight embrace from behind and resting her head against his back. "I'm sorry," she murmured softly.Jayson's anger dissipated instantly; no one could resist a beautiful woman seeking forgiveness. For a few moments, the two of them chatted and held hands, lost in their own world. Monkey Lord grumbled in annoyance, "You two should take it easy; no need to make a man like me jealous.""Then find yourself a wife," Jayson retorted, stealing a quick kiss from Ella. She pouted playfully before returning the kiss, and they continued their affectionate display.Monkey Lord covered his eyes; he couldn't bear to watch the couple carry on with such a ridiculous show of romance.As they sought out an inn to grab a meal, they had barely settled in when two men sent by th
The City Lord's lips curled into a smirk as he inquired, "Surely you didn't expect me to welcome you in and offer you a feast, did you?"Jayson let out a lazy stretch before retorting, "There's no room for negotiation; you're going to provide us with food, Monkey Lord."Monkey's expression twisted with a hint of fear as he pondered why Jayson was addressing him in such a manner. Jayson tilted his head and fixed his gaze on Monkey Lord, who had refused to respond, and remarked, "Go show him some manners."Monkey Lord's complexion paled, and he waved his arms in dismay before asking, "What exactly do you mean by teaching him a lesson?"Jayson gave Monkey Lord a disdainful look in response to his question, but then proceeded to lay out his brutal instructions: "Gouge out his eyes for daring to covet my wife, cripple his despicable intentions by maiming his third leg, and cut off his nose for daring to sniff her scent. The rest is up to you."As Jayson finished speaking, Monkey Lord's com
Jayson and Monkey Lord found themselves as the most reluctant members of the group to engage in the battle."I'll go if none of you will," declared Ella, resolutely springing out of the window. She unleashed a flurry of attacks upon the demon-like creatures with human structures and animal faces."What are you all waiting for? Join the fight," urged Jayson, turning to Monkey Lord and the two protectors who had always safeguarded Ella.The three of them leaped out of the window and joined the fray. However, Jayson hesitated. He struggled to decide who to transform into; he couldn't take on the form of Monkey Lord, whose strength lay solely in evading danger. Nor could he become the masked man who opposed the human race. Transforming into Ella's grandfather was out of the question, as she was still mourning him, and he didn't want to disregard her emotions.Jayson's eyes sparked with realization as he remembered his ability to transform into Dao Emperor Kun, but he shuddered at the thou
"Jayson!" Monkey Lord's roar reverberated in the midst of the four demon-race armies, his rage palpable as he was hurled into the midst of their onslaught.Without hesitation, he manipulated the fabric of space and escaped from the battlefield in an instant."As expected, Monkey Lord never fails to disappoint by fleeing from the fight," Jayson muttered, his expression grim as he pondered whether to intervene in the war.His countenance darkened as he spotted Ella surrounded by a thirty-man army of the demon race."Do you think you can bully my wife?" Jayson's rage erupted as he rushed forward, transforming into Dao Emperor Kun.A fearsome sword qi, vast enough to shroud the heavens and earth, rent the very sky asunder.As Jayson, in the form of Dao Emperor Kun, prepared to strike, his pupils dilated in disbelief as the old geezer unleashed a berserk, ruthless attack from the void.The potential devastation of the strike left Jayson stunned; if it were to land on the battlefield, none
Jayson regarded Monkey with disdain, his sneer dripping with contempt. "You should consider yourself lucky. I'm degrading myself by taking on your form. If it weren't for your expertise in escape and evasion, I wouldn't waste my time on someone as useless as you."The vein on Monkey Lord's forehead bulged as he was taken aback by Jayson's transformation into his likeness and the ruthlessness of his insults.Gritting his teeth, Monkey Lord snapped back, "Kid, with that attitude, you don't resemble the person I've been assisting."As Jayson, now in the guise of Monkey Lord, couldn't be bothered to engage in further argument, he observed that Monkey Lord was thick-skinned; no matter how much he cursed him, it seemed to have no effect.Manipulating the space around him, Jayson, in the form of Monkey Lord, swiftly covered several miles. He couldn't help but be impressed by Monkey Lord's adeptness at fleeing."This old man has an impressive tenacity," jeered Jayson's soul figurine within hi
After Jayson transformed into the masked man, he carefully assessed their respective powers before finally speaking. "Tsk! Tsk! You're more powerful than this old geezer. Let me borrow your strength to put an end to him," he said, his voice low and menacing.Dao Emperor Kun's complexion turned ashen. While his body was indestructible, he knew that his soul could still be erased. If that happened, it would take millions of years for his body to form a new soul. Panic rising, he shouted, "Brat, you are truly fearless. To take on the form of the demon race overlord... I and the Demon Race Overlord cannot allow you to live. Allowing someone like you to exist would upset the delicate balance of the world."The masked man stood in silence, his expression concealed.Jayson sneered, "Tsk! tsk!! Old geezer, I almost fell for it. You're quite the loyal lap dog, leaping around as soon as I take on the appearance of your master."Dao Emperor Kun's expression darkened as he contemplated his associ
If Dao Emperor Kun realised that the one he was fighting wasn't Jayson, he would spew blood in rage. Too bad he had self-exploded, making it impossible to exist again.Jayson sighed. He didn't expect Dao Emperor Kun to help him settle the two of them on his behalf. What a charismatic man!"Yi!" Jayson exclaimed as he noticed the masked man still standing, albeit unsteadily, amidst the aftermath of the explosion. Despite surviving, the masked man seemed alarmingly frail.Rushing over to him, Jayson couldn't hide his surprise. "You're still standing? You look like you're barely holding on."Meeting Jayson's gaze, the masked man spoke with a weary voice. "Kid, even if we keep fighting, there won't be a winner."Seeing the masked man's weakened state, Jayson couldn't help but smirk. "Well, if we don't fight, how will we ever find out?"The masked man fell silent, acknowledging that engaging in battle in his current condition would only lead to defeat.With a heavy sigh, he conceded, "I pr
Jayson turned to find Ella gazing at him. Taking a deep breath, he approached her. Standing eye to eye, he struggled to broach the subject. A smile lit up Ella's face."Would you like me to accompany you to Earth?" Ella asked before Jayson could gather his thoughts."What?" Jayson blurted out in surprise.Ella burst into laughter at Jayson's exaggerated expression, ruffling his hair. "Does that mean you're willing to come with me?" he asked.Ella nodded and replied, "Yes, wherever you go, I will follow. You are my husband, and wherever you make your home, I will make mine too."A broad smile spread across Jayson's face as he realized that his marriage to Ella was no longer a mere joke. He pulled her close, savouring the moment as they displayed their affection in front of the old Taoist Fairy.But the fairy could not bear to witness the shameless display of love any longer. Clearing his throat loudly, he interrupted, "Are you ready to return now or not?""Come back tomorrow," Jayson
