Xi Guxing pushed him back into his original body and said with a strange expression: "Have you gone to the burial mound?"

Shen Gurong opened his eyes, stood up from the couch, put on his cloak, coughed dryly, said without blushing and out of breath: "No, Mu Ban got lost and broke in accidentally."

If Mu Ban heard this, he might even blush for his master.

Xi Guxing glanced at him, sat aside and made a pot of tea without treating himself as an outsider, and said casually: "Why do you think of reinforcing the boundary of the burial mound?"

Shen Gurong came over with his big cloak folded, sat opposite Xi Guxing, and said truthfully: "Because he will kidnap me and use me as a furnace if he says it."

Xi Guxing: "..."

Xi Guxing's hand shook, and the hot tea almost spilled onto his hand. He looked solemn and said coldly: "He dares!"

Shen Gurong took the tea cup from Xi Guxing's hand, shook it gently in his hand, lowered his eyes at a piece of tea in the cup, and said lightly: "Is there anything he doesn't dare to do?"

In just a few words of conversation with the demon cultivator, Shen Gurong probably knew that that person must be a ruthless person who had higher ambitions and was determined to retaliate. Shen Fengxue had imprisoned him in the burial mound for so many years. If he could come out one day, he would definitely Shen Fengxue will also be tortured and die in pain just like in the original book.

Shen Gurong didn't want to suffer or die miserably, he just wanted to go home.

Xi Guxing looked ugly and said coldly: "There is no need to see him in the future. I will discuss with my senior sister to strengthen the barrier of the bone burial mound."

Shen Gurong nodded and said yes.

Xi Guxing was probably in a very bad mood. He made tea but didn't drink a sip. He sat aside with a cold face and didn't know what he was thinking.

Shen Gurong asked: "By the way, why did you ask me to come back?"

Only then did Xi Guxing come back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said reluctantly: "The people from the Demon Clan have sent the message, and they should arrive soon."

Shen Gurong thought about breaking up the contract with Xue Manzhuang, and nodded when he heard this: "Yes, I know."

Xi Guxing didn't want to stay any longer, so he casually gave Shen Gurong a few words and left quickly.

When passing by Lianhua Lake, Chao Jiuxiao poked his head out from the shore, raised his eyebrows and said, "Xi Guxing, are you going to fight again?"

Xi Guxing ignored him and walked past him with a gloomy expression.

Chao Jiuxiao: "..."

He was so angry that he turned into a huge monster and continued to go to Lotus Lake to make trouble.

Fan Jiang was in the middle, Shen Gurong drank a cup of tea, looked at the completely darkened sky, seemed to remember something, got up and went to the side courtyard.

Among the Xiwu flowers, the little Xiwu was squatting by the flower bed, staring at the flowers absentmindedly.

When Shen Gurong walked over, she just put her soft, scarred hands into the flowers, touched them casually, and seemed to take out something.

Shen Gurong: "Xiwu?"

As he got closer, he realized that what Yugiri was holding was actually a bright red snake.

Shen Gurong: "..."

Shen Gurong was not very afraid of snakes, but he didn't like them either, and he didn't dare to reach out and touch the penetrating things. He caressed his arm casually, took a deep breath, and then said softly: "What are you doing, Xiwu?" ?”

The red snake was spitting a message towards Xiwu, as if planning to bite her. Xiwu looked at it expressionlessly, with no trace of the fear or apprehension of ordinary children towards snakes in her eyes.

Hearing Shen Gurong's voice, Xi Wu was startled, turned his head and glanced, then quickly stood up and instinctively put the red snake in his hand back on his waist, his eyes glowing a little brightly.

"Holy King."

Shen Gurong glanced behind her without leaving any trace.

Ever since she could remember, if she wanted to survive, Xiwu had to learn to read people's emotions. Even though Shen Gurong only glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, and it was almost dark, she was still able to capture it successfully.

She stretched out her hand uneasily and said calmly: "Xiwu...Xiwu just wants to carry it out."

Shen Gurong said hurriedly: "I didn't blame you."

Xi Wu looked at him blankly, her beautiful phoenix eyes showing a little mist, which was very distressing.

Shen Gurong's heart softened instantly. He raised his hand and touched Xiwu's head, and said softly: "I said before, you don't need to call me Holy Lord, call me senior brother or elder brother."

Xiwu's little body was trembling, and she said fearfully: "Xiwu doesn't dare."

Shen Gurong encouraged her: "It's okay, just scream if I ask you to, no one dares to say anything."

Xiwu hesitated for a while in fear, and then timidly called out: "Brother."

Shen Gurong: "Yeah, be good."

Xiwu saw that he was really not angry, but his face was still a little soft, so he had the courage to call out: "Brother."

Shen Gurong: "Yeah."

"Brother."

"Um."

Xiwu gradually relaxed, and she showed her first smile in the past two days. She rushed forward and threw herself directly into Shen Gurong's arms, wrapping her arms around Shen Gurong's waist.

"Brother!"

This time Shen Gurong didn't say "um", he said "ah".

"Ah-ah!! Snake! That snake is sticking to me, ah, ah!"

By the time Xiwu left happily, Shen Gurong was already on the verge of death due to the snakes tangled around his waist.

Xiwu saw his pale face, the joy on his face faded, and said quietly: "Brother?"

Shen Gurong looked away from the snake in her hands, which was jumping and twisting. He was originally worried that she would not adapt and wanted to talk to the child for a while, but now the soft thing that still seemed to be left behind her waist was twisting and turning. The feeling of going away made him just want to go back and take a bath.

He said with difficulty: "Well, okay, I, I'll go back first, and you release the snake quickly, be careful it bites you."

Xiwu nodded.

Shen Gurong went back with his feet fluttering.

Xiwu watched his back with some reluctance as he left. She was silent for a long time before looking at the long snake in her palm.

"He's gone." Xiwu stared at the snake and said softly, "You scared him away."

The Red Snake was twisting happily, trying to escape from the child's clutches, when it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its body, and then its entire body suddenly became limp and lost consciousness.

Xiwu casually threw the red snake that was already limp in her palm into the Xiwu flowers, turned around and returned to the room.

Shen Gurong was not frightened, but was disgusted by the touch of the snake. He was so mysophobic that when he returned, he threw away the cloak just sent from Liren Peak, found a change of clothes, and quickly went to the backyard hot spring.

It was only when he arrived that he discovered that someone was already in the hot spring.

The hot spring in the backyard is almost the size of two rooms, and the water surface is covered with smoke. There is only an extremely obvious line in the center, which divides the white mist into two parts that do not blend with each other.

As for Mu Ban, he was sitting in the hot spring on the left with his eyes closed, seemingly meditating and practicing.

Shen Gurong didn't bother him, he just took off his clothes and got into the water from the other side.

The warm spring water enveloped his body, and Shen Gurong felt that the strange touch on his waist finally subsided.

Shen Gurong sighed contentedly, leaning on the rocks on the shore and falling asleep, still thinking about some random things in his mind.

"A child as young as Xiwu is not afraid of snakes. Well, it must be because he suffered too much in Fenglu City."

"I wonder how long it has been since I was in the book for ten years. If it is also ten years, then I will die together with Shen Fengxue."

"That demonic cultivator dared to covet Shen Fengxue's body. Tsk tsk, it seems that the demonic cultivators are quite shameless. How can I, who was relegated to an immortal by Fengxue, be defeated by those rough and reckless Meng Lang?"

"Ah, why don't you write a story about the Immortal Lord and the Demon Lord when you get back?"

"No, if my husband or brother knew about it, they would definitely beat me to death. Can the sleeve be cut off casually? It's not allowed to write."

He alone created a drama in his mind, which was even more exciting than the script.

Finally, Mu Ban, who was practicing seriously, was finally woken up by his nagging.

Mu Ban frowned, opened his eyes and directly faced the naked Shen Gurong, who was leaning on the stone with slightly squinted eyes and drowsily.

Mu Ban: "..."

Mu Ban's face was expressionless, and he took a breath of cold air without any trace.

The shock he received was not as big as usual. He stared at Shen Gurong almost in horror. He wanted to get up but fell directly into the deeper water. He was caught off guard and choked on the water.

The sound of water waves brought Shen Gurong back to his senses, who was still thinking in his heart. His eyes were a little hazy. He raised his hand and gently wiped the ice tissue in his eyes to dry the soaked ice tissue. Only then did he regain his vision. .

Seeing Mu Ban holding his chest and coughing uncontrollably, Shen Gurong raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you awake?"

Mu Ban nodded awkwardly: "Master, Master."

Shen Gurong asked: "Why are you so scared?"

Mu Ban just shook his head and coughed so hard that he seemed unable to speak.

Seeing how uncomfortable he was, Shen Gurong got up and walked over from the hot spring, wanting to go to him and give him a pat on the back. But as soon as he walked to the center of the hot spring and crossed the clear boundary, he felt A chill shot up from his toes.

Shen Gurong was stunned and froze on the spot for a while before he suddenly realized that the spring water in the backyard was actually a hot spring and an ice spring.

The place where Mu was relegated is an icy spring that emits a bone-chilling chill.

Shen Gurong: "..."

Shen Gurong silently retracted his feet back to the hot spring, shook his feet and returned to the shore to continue sitting.

"It's nothing serious, you'd better take it easy on your own."
