The owner of this fate pledged loyalty, but Jiang Qing was forcibly kissed?

During the banquet, General Bai Yi and Guard Captain Su Xing, using tea as a substitute for wine, respectfully toasted Jiang Qing.

Guard Captain Su Xing was very good at social interactions; when he stood up, he offered continuous compliments, making Jiang Qing feel very comfortable.

After all, no one dislikes subordinates who know how to flatter; this is also a form of ability, and being adaptable is not a derogatory term.

Although General Bai Yi was taciturn, he also racked his brains to compliment Jiang Qing a few times when he stood up.

Both of them understood very well that everything they had was given by Jiang Qing.

Without the Ten-thousand Divine Martial Army's spirit blessing, and without Jiang Qing forging his Physical Body with Purple Extremity Profound Lightning, General Bai Yi would not have been able to Breakthrough to the Martial Venerable Realm, let alone transcend a major stage to slay a Low-level Martial King.

Guard Captain Su Xing also knew very well that in the past, he was just luckier, but this Luck could not last long on the Battlefield of the Heavens; he had nearly died on the Battlefield of the Heavens several times.

But after joining the Divine Martial Army, his Luck completely exploded; on the Battlefield of the Heavens, it was as if he was blessed by fate, a casual arrow shot could hit an enemy, and he could easily dodge incoming enemy attacks with a simple evasion.

All of this was very metaphysical, but it made Guard Captain Su Xing associate it with his joining the Divine Martial Army.

Although the term Luck is profound, almost everyone is familiar with it.

Guard Captain Su Xing had some guesses about his own changes; it must be because of Jiang Qing's Luck and care that made him, who was already lucky, even luckier.

Jiang Qing's kindness to them was like a rebirth; both of them were originally just ordinary Ten-Thousand Captains in the army, and although they had impressive military achievements, they never imagined they could achieve such glory now.

Following Jiang Qing, they were doing great things like expelling foreign races and expanding territory, and a single battle was enough to leave their names in history, which was far more glorious than before.

Facing the words of loyalty from these two, Jiang Qing stood up solemnly, raised his teacup, and drank with them.

Afterward, Jiang Qing mingled with his subordinate generals and soldiers, gathering around the bonfire to chat.

The topic shifted from Martial Arts Cultivation at the beginning to some gossip and secrets, and finally escalated to the federal level, discussing the dangerous situation faced by the Human Race in the Battlefield of the Heavens...

The topics among men are always complex and diverse, which made Zhou Yan, the only female Ten-Thousand Captain in the Divine Martial Army, somewhat unable to blend into the atmosphere; she just sat beside Jiang Qing, drinking tea and remaining silent.

Sometimes, when Zhou Yan heard some gossip and secrets, she would even blush, secretly glancing at Jiang Qing before quickly looking away.

Jiang Qing naturally noticed this, but he could only rub his nose somewhat helplessly, unable to respond.

Having endured too many life memories, Jiang Qing had become extremely sensitive to emotions; he feared the sudden loss of emotions, and thus preferred to seal off his heart and not form genuine feelings with others.

Countless years of life memories, countless deployments—it was impossible to say that Jiang Qing had never felt emotion during a deployment; people have emotions, and Jiang Qing was no exception.

In most deployments, Jiang Qing could become the most dazzling existence of an era, and the opposite-sex individuals he met were mostly proud daughters of heaven with extraordinary talent and stunning beauty; Jiang Qing was not a piece of iron, he had emotions, so he would always develop good feelings when encountering opposite-sex individuals with whom he was compatible.

It was just that he understood his deployment time was limited, and even if there were emotional entanglements with the other party, they would not last long, and would instead cause pain for both people.

Therefore, a long time ago, he had already set a deployment principle: not to invest too much emotion during deployments, to prevent himself from getting deeply entangled and unable to extricate himself.

This led to Jiang Qing gradually becoming unfamiliar with emotions; he dared not easily accept others' love, nor dared to easily fall in love with others, fearing that this emotion would be too fleeting.

The same was true for Su Yue and Zhou Yan; Jiang Qing dared not have too many emotional entanglements with them, fearing that it was just a fleeting splendor, fearing that this emotion would vanish in an instant.

An hour later, the banquet ended.

Jiang Qing's university classmates collectively egged him on to send Zhou Yan home, with Stone Victory being the most boisterous among them.

These classmates had spent the longest time with Zhou Yan, and they knew very well Zhou Yan's feelings for Jiang Qing, so they all wanted to play matchmakers and help the two eventually become a couple.

If this good deed was accomplished, their relationship with Jiang Qing would become even closer, and in the future, if there was anything inconvenient to tell Jiang Qing directly, they could convey it through Zhou Yan...

It was a win-win situation, so they naturally wanted to do their best to facilitate this marriage.

Left with no choice, under the urging of everyone, Jiang Qing had to agree to send Zhou Yan back.

In the evening, moonlight scattered in speckles.

Their shadows were stretched long under the moonlight.

Along the way, both remained silent.

Until a crossroads, just a little further would be Zhou Yan's home.

As one of the Ten-Thousand Captains of the Divine Martial Army, she naturally had her own residence, not far from the Divine Martial Army camp.

It was not until they reached this point that the silence was broken.

"Jiang Qing," Zhou Yan called out, stopping Jiang Qing. She mustered her courage and said charmingly, "I like you."

"I don't like you," Jiang Qing replied quickly, his refusal swift and decisive, immediately causing Zhou Yan to fall silent, her hopeful gaze instantly cooling.

Jiang Qing never played games; since he couldn't give a clear response to the other party, he would quickly refuse, extinguishing the nascent emotion.

Zhou Yan was silent for a long time. She bit her silver teeth tightly, and after a long minute passed, she looked at Jiang Qing again, her eyes filled with stubbornness, saying, "Even if you don't like me, I won't give up. In this lifetime, there's nothing I've set my sights on that I haven't gotten, and you won't be an exception!"

As her words fell, Zhou Yan, before Jiang Qing could react, stepped forward and kissed his cheek, then said, blushing,

"I've made up my mind; in this life, I will marry no one but you."

Having said that, Zhou Yan quickened her steps and left.

Only a somewhat stunned Jiang Qing was left standing there.

Was this... a forced kiss? And from Zhou Yan, who had always been gentle to others?

Jiang Qing truly hadn't expected this. He stood there dazed for a long time before finally recovering.

"After all, my charm is just too great..."

Jiang Qing thought with a touch of narcissism.

Jiang Qing strode away, returning to his residence.

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Jiang Qing entered a state of meditation, beginning to sort through the memories in his mind related to improving Cultivation Technique Martial Arts.

He needed to decide which Cultivation Technique or Martial Arts to announce first tomorrow, advancing step by step, releasing one per day.

Soon, Jiang Qing made a decision: the Martial Arts "Eight Level Collapse Strength," after Jiang Qing's improvement, had reached the level of Thirteen Collapses, which was very suitable for Martial Artists at the Great Martial Master Realm and could greatly enhance a Martial Artist's combat power.

Having decided on the Cultivation Technique to announce, Jiang Qing began to Cultivate, meditating on the Kuo Shen Hammer striking the sea of his spirit while Cultivating the Eight Nine Arcane Art.

Bang, bang, bang!

Breaking in the hammering, gaining new life in nirvana.

Jiang Qing's Mental Energy strength, Divine Power, and Primordial Spirit strength were all steadily increasing.
