But in fact, there is no such relationship between the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East. One of them was transformed from the most wonderful energy of Xihua, and the other was transformed from the innate energy of Donghua. They are like a certain monkey, the son of destiny born and raised by nature, born to become gods. At most, they are a sister and brother.
However, there have always been rumors in the fairy world that their parents are Pangu and Taiyuan Shengmu, who have long disappeared in the long river of history, but there is no clear evidence.
But then again, is Jiang Lu someone who is well versed in Taoism and immortal rituals?
This is obviously impossible.
Not to mention learning the immortal etiquette, even in the underworld, there are many people's backgrounds and relationships that he has not figured out.
Just because he is Jiang Lu, when we look at a person, we only look at his ability, not his identity.
So naturally, for a long time in the past, he also thought that Dong Wangong was the husband of Xi Wangmu. But in fact, Xi Wangmu didn't have a husband, let alone an ambiguous object. She only had some suitors. Just to make Jiang Lu feel a sense of urgency, she deliberately used her own brother as a gun and wanted to tie him to her side.
So the misunderstanding arose, and that is why Jiang Lu tried to avoid Dong Wanggong in many public occasions to prevent trouble.
In this regard, Dong Wanggong once privately commented with admiration: "Since the moment I first met him, I thought he was a very cold and unapproachable person. This is exactly in line with my imagination of an extremely powerful person. Even though we are both main gods, my demeanor seems like that of a naive child compared to him."
It can only be viewed from a distance and not played with.
This is why in Dong Wanggong's impression, Jiang Lu always left him with his back.
Although Dong Wanggong is many generations older than Jiang Lu in terms of age and seniority, the fairy world is so real that heroes are judged by their cultivation level. And Jiang Lu is not part of the fairy world's huge and complex genealogy system. He is considered new money in the fairy world. When getting along with this group of old money, as long as he is recognized, he is not bound by seniority and can call anyone his brother.
Because of this, it is understandable why Dong Wanggong was willing to pay such a high price to purchase the lips that were left after Jiang Lu's body was shattered, although mundane things like money are nothing to him.
This is not excessive. After all, celebrities' JY are purchased by female fans at high prices. Can't my Jiang Bao's organs be purchased by fans?
But even though Jiang Lu had long since figured out that the Queen Mother of the West's partner was not the King of the East, and he had long since been relieved and no longer on guard against him, he was still very surprised to see the King of the East at such a sensitive time and place.
What made him even more surprised was that the person in front of him seemed to look different from the impression he had of Dong Wanggong.
"Dong Wanggong..." Jiang Lu frowned and said subconsciously: "Although there are some similarities between your eyebrows and eyes, but I remember that you were a very showy and stupid young man before, weren't you?"
"Hmm?" Dong Wanggong, who had been calm just now, suddenly stood up from the rattan chair and asked in doubt: "Do you know me? Who are you?"
Since they were old acquaintances and there was no one else here, and Dong Wanggong was also his former fanboy, Jiang Lu had nothing to pretend.
"Long time no see, hope you are well."
Jiang Lu also imitated the way Dong Wanggong introduced himself just now, and introduced himself with a smile:
"I'm Jiang Lu."
“Jiang…” Dong Wanggong was stunned at first, then his mouth gradually opened wide, his eyes widened: “Jiang…Jiang…”
"Clang clang clang clang!" Jiang Lu cooperated.
"Don't play such meaningless homophones at such a tense moment..."
Dong Wanggong's expression changed instantly, and his excitement was instantly replaced by sage time. After calming down, he said with some doubt:
"You said you are Jiang... him, is there any way to prove it?"
"Ah... you really asked me this." Jiang Lu looked distressed: "How can I prove that I am myself?"
"You can tell me something that only he and I know." Dong Wanggong said seriously.
"Uh... let me think..."
Jiang Lu fell into deep thought.
This request sounds easy, but it is actually not an easy thing for the two people who have had almost no interactions because of the misunderstanding about the Queen Mother of the West.
Oh, by the way, Queen Mother of the West!
Jiang Lu thought of the key.
Although he has no intersection with the King of the East, he has a lot of intersections with the Queen Mother of the West.
"Although many dates in folk legends can be linked to the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, in fact, the Queen Mother of the West's real birthday is April 19th every year!"
Upon hearing this, Duke Dong was stunned.
He looked shocked and was unable to speak.
Jiang Lu smiled slightly: "Now you should believe it, right?"
But who would have thought that Dong Wanggong would stutter awkwardly: "Ah...ah? Is...is that so?"
Jiang Lu's smile gradually faded.
"Ah, you don't know her birthday, right..."
"Ah I only know my..."
"It fits my imagination of this generation of young people. They don't care about their relatives' situation at all. They only care about themselves and take their relatives' kindness for granted."
"You're talking nonsense! I just can't remember it. I'll definitely remember it if you give me some time."
Dong Wanggong's face was obviously a little red, as if a special effect had been added.
But he stood there thinking hard for a long time, but could only utter one sentence: "This doesn't count, tell me something else! And I don't agree with the relatives you just mentioned, I'm not familiar with Queen Mother of the West at all! So it's normal that I don't know her birthday, right?"
Jiang Lu pursed his lips tightly. He really didn't expect that the Duke of Dong didn't even know about such a thing. He even made up a lie that he was not familiar with the Queen Mother of the West in order to cover up the fact that he was an incompetent brother.
Looks like I can only reveal the hard stuff...
Jiang Lu took a deep breath and said, "You and Queen Mother of the West are siblings. Your father is Pangu, the Yuanshi Heavenly King, and your mother is the Taiyuan Holy Mother!"
"Nonsense!" Dong Wanggong was angry. "I just said that she and I are not familiar with each other. This is just a rumor spread by some unknown person in the fairy world. You actually used it as a secret to prove your identity. Don't you think it's ridiculous? Even if so many people know this rumor, how can you use it to prove that you are him?"
"Of course I know that this is a rumor that is widely circulated in the fairy world but has never been confirmed. Indeed, almost everyone has heard of it. Logically speaking, I know this fact and it cannot prove my identity."
Jiang Lu nodded in approval.
Dong Wanggong waved his sleeves and said, "So you mentioned this to deliberately anger me?"
Jiang Lu shook his head slightly and said with emotion: "But what if... I was the one who spread this rumor?"
"what?!"
“Hehehe…” Jiang Lu showed a villain’s smile: “And I only spread half of this rumor. If I remember correctly, you and Queen Mother of the West should have a token left by Yuanshi Tianwang and Taiyuan Shengmu. You and she each hold half, one yin and one yang. The two combined into one will be a complete jade pendant!”
"What?!!!"
Dong Wanggong's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his right hand involuntarily pressed on his chest.
Under the long gown on his chest was the jade pendant that represented the yang side.
"You should believe it now, right?" Jiang Lu put his hands behind his back and straightened his chest: "I am the real Jiang Lu."
Looking at the high-spirited Jiang Lu, Dong Wanggong felt that his idol filter was instantly shattered, and was replaced by a burst of anger.
"Although I have long noticed that your relationship with my sister is not normal, and I have also suspected it, but..."
In just a moment, Dong Wanggong came to his senses and appeared in front of Jiang Lu. He grabbed his collar and asked angrily, "It's you who made our secret known to everyone, right?!"
Jiang Lu's smile disappeared, and he became a little embarrassed: "Ah...ah this...I can explain..."
"You said it, I'm listening."
"To put it simply, I was plotted against by a villain..."
"Who?"
"I."
"Yo, you're pretty damn arrogant!"
"No... calm down! I mean the Lord of Morality."
"Huh? How does it involve him?" Dong Wanggong was confused and let go of Jiang Lu.
"That's right, I guess I misjudged him."
Jiang Lu straightened his collar which was deformed by Dong Wanggong's pulling and explained a little embarrassedly:
"At first, he and I had a pretty good relationship. We often played together, and sometimes when we drank a little, we would express our true feelings and say some things from the heart, so I got to know some of his secrets.
I don't know if you still remember that old guy was chasing your sister all those years. He chased her for a long time, probably hundreds of years.
Well, I had already won her over in half a year, so I thought I would tease him and told her, don’t waste your time, brother, I have already won her over, if you really like her, wait until we break up and I will teach you some advice, and then you can try to pursue her again.
The result! Guess what happened? "
"What's wrong?"
"He was angry."
"That's not nonsense. Tell me yourself, is what you did humane?"
"But it doesn't matter that he's angry, the key is that what I said in private was accidentally leaked."
Jiang Lu spread his hands helplessly:
"Actually, I really didn't want to tell anyone the secret your sister told me. I told them not to tell anyone else, but who could have thought... Hey, look at what this has turned out to be.
But don't worry, I didn't tell you about the jade pendant."
"It's not you..." Dong Wanggong wanted to kill Jiang Lu at this moment.
Only now did he realize that the idol he had always used as a role model to catch up with was so despicable.
Collapsed...
Not only did the faith collapse, but the house also collapsed.
"I won't say anything else." Dong Wanggong grabbed Jiang Lu's collar again and was about to attack him: "What do you mean by showing off my sister as a trophy?"
Seeing this scene, Jiang Lu was also a little panicked.
The rage on Dong Wanggong's face was definitely not fake, he really wanted to hit someone.
But now Jiang Lu's body was so small that even if he was lightly touched, Dong Wanggong would have to kneel down and beg him not to die, not to mention being beaten up. He simply couldn't stand the torture.
In a desperate situation, Jiang Lu came up with an idea.
Since he and the Queen Mother of the East were not in a deep relationship, judging from his reaction, it seems that he never knew that he and the Queen Mother of the West had a relationship. He was just guessing based on his own assumptions and had no idea of the specific circumstances. Does that mean that we can take advantage of the information gap and start a operation based on this idea?
Thinking of this, he shouted in anger: "Who do you think I am? Did I say I was showing off?"
"Aren't you deliberately trying to tease the Lord of Morality?"
"Superficial!" Jiang Lu scolded: "You only know one side of the story! You don't know how much I love your sister!"
Jiang Lu immediately took the initiative and said, "It's because you are so unreliable that your sister is unwilling to admit her relationship with you in public. You are just an impulsive giant baby!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Dong Wanggong retorted subconsciously, but when he thought about how he had asked Xi Wangmu many times in the past why their relationship could not be made public, and the answer he got was always that it was not the right time, he couldn't help but believe what Jiang Lu said.
