The first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the top of a laurel tree planted outside a thatched house. A figure with uneven shapes in the bed tent moved and immediately sat up.
After a while, a woman with a pure and beautiful appearance, but her every move and gesture showed charm, yawned and came out, put on her embroidered shoes and some clothes, opened the door and walked out, jumped up to the roof, sat down cross-legged, and began to exercise to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
After a stick of incense, it was already bright. She smiled lightly, took a deep breath and said to herself: "Although the spiritual energy is a little thinner, the air is fresh, unlike Miao'er Mountain where everything is rotten.
breath."
After that, he turned around and went back to the hut to wash up.
She is Jin Mang. She has been traveling around the world in a hurry and chose such a beautiful place to live in seclusion.
Near noon, Yan Qing was coming with his sword in hand.
"Sister Jin Mang!" Yan Qing jumped off the flying sword and landed gently in front of Jin Mang.
"Oh, isn't this our cute little Qingqing!" Jin Mang put down the vegetables in his hand and gave Yan Qingzheng a big hug.
Yan Qingzheng also showed a big smile and hugged Jin Mang back.
"Oh! You've grown up!" Jin Mang felt it, let go of Yan Qingzheng, glanced at Yan Qingzheng's chest with his beautiful eyes, and said with a bad smile.
Yan Qingzheng suddenly blushed, turned sideways and said, "Why...why are you talking about this!"
Jin Mang smiled heartily, raised her arm and said, "I won't tease you anymore! Let's go and see my sister's nest... Oh, it's home!"
The two entered the hut. Yan Qingzheng looked around and said, "Sister, do you usually live here?"
It cannot be said that this place is shabby, but it is very simple. The furniture is made of logs and is not exquisite enough. The bedding is average and soft.
"Yes...it's not bad! My sister arranged it all with her own hands." Jin Mang was very satisfied.
Yan Qing nodded: "As long as sister thinks it's good."
Jin Mang watched as her smile gradually faded: "What happened? Why are you so sad?"
Yan Qing was shocked. Seeing the undisguised concern in Jin Mang's eyes, he suddenly felt sad.
"Sister Jin Mang, I..." Her nose became sore and tears fell down.
Jin Mang said: "Wait a minute, let's go down and talk."
She waved her hand to an open space, and a cave entrance was revealed. She pulled Yan Qing and jumped down, winding through a passage to a cave.
This is her real cave.
The two of them sat down on the low couch, and Yan Qingzheng talked about Yan Shuangyu's death and some changes in the family without crying, and then talked about Rong Che's changes.
Jin Mang just held her in his arms, patted her back constantly, and listened to her quietly.
After a long while, Yan Qing stopped crying and lay on the couch languidly. Jin Mang brought her water to wash her face.
She said sheepishly: "Thank you, sister, for making you laugh."
"You are willing to speak, and I am willing to listen, so why are you laughing?" Jin Mang gently twisted the veil for her and handed it to her, "I know you are a very strong person, and your willingness to tell me this proves that you have not
I am an outsider and I know it!"
Yan Qing was holding Jin Mang's hand, took a deep breath and said, "Sister Jin Mang, you are so kind."
She has always been in a position to help others because of her early wisdom and strength, and Jin Mang is no worse than her in anything, so the two of them can get along more naturally.
"You just push yourself too hard and are used to shouldering everything yourself. Why don't you discuss such a big matter with your family or us?"
Yan Qing was shaking her head. Rong Che's situation was too dangerous and she didn't want to implicate anyone.
"Listen to me, as for Rong Che, I think you should make it clear to him and don't let him continue to misunderstand."
"But over there at Xuanmen..."
"You don't have to worry over there! As long as you two know it well, it's fine, and I don't want you to tell the world that you are together now!"
"But I'm afraid that if I tell him, he will be exposed and someone will find out."
"That's true..." Jin Mang sighed and said, "But I think this is just the worst plan after all. If you are really worried, sister can go to his side to protect him, even in secret. Until you solve your problem
If you have any problems, you can be with him openly!"
Yan Qingzheng was very moved, but was afraid that Jin Mang would be too troublesome.
"Forget it, it only takes a few years, I believe he can wait."
"Silly boy, I hope he knows the truth if I can wait!"
"But..." Isn't Rong Che also waiting now?
"Although Rong Che is a stubborn kid and probably won't fall in love with someone else, what if he gives up or his brother wants to let him get married and have children? What if you don't know where you are at that time and don't have time to stop him?
"
Yan Qing was panicking, and he was a little confused.
"Furthermore," Jin Mang pressed on, "Although we don't understand the Demon Lord of Slaughter, his dark attributes are destined to nourish the soul with people's negative emotions. I heard that he has had several attacks in the past few years. I can't say it's because
Your injury caused him too much pain, which caused the Demon Lord of Slaughter to wake up!"
"Really?" Yan Qing's eyes widened.
"It's very possible!" Jin Mang nodded.
"Then...should I tell him?" Yan Qingzheng's eyes were shining with hope. She could resolve the misunderstanding and connect with the one she loved. Why didn't she want to do this?
After all, it was not her intention to hurt him.
"Of course!"
Yan Qing was full of fighting spirit in an instant. He clenched his fist and said, "Well, I have to restart the ascension channel as soon as possible to solve all future troubles! Sister Jin Mang can also ascend by then!"
Looking at her smile, her eyes were shining with golden light.
"Okay, let's wait and see you achieve unparalleled achievements!"
Jin Mang said with a smile.
"Sister Jin Mang, I'm actually very reluctant to let you go..." Yan Qing couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought that Jin Mang, Pei Xing and Chu Chu would have to leave after the Ascension Passage was restarted. They were friends of life and death.
"I can't bear to part with you. When the time comes for you and Rong Che to live your little life together, will you still have time to miss us?" Jin Mang teased.
"Of course I will! A person's life is not all about love and no friends!" Yan Qing replied with her face burning.
"Well, since my sister is not going to ascend, how about I stay with you two?" Jin Mang said suddenly.
"Okay!" Yan Qing thought she was joking, but seeing the seriousness on her face, she was surprised and said, "Are you serious?"
Jin Mang slowly lowered his eyes and sighed: "My real body is a golden python. Although my cultivation has reached the conditions for ascension, the situation after ascension... is difficult to describe!"
"How to say?"
"You also know that in the cave of my similar ancestors that we found in the Yuling Realm, didn't there be a demon crystal in it? You gave it to me at the time."
"Well, that's what happened." Yan Qing just remembered.
"I later absorbed that demon crystal. Not only did my cultivation level increase significantly, but I also inherited part of its memory, which recorded what its mother, the owner of the cave, Red Lip, said about Nine Snakes' encounters after they ascended.
."
I think back then, Nine Snakes was also a top-notch demon beast that shocked the world in the lower realm. It was a powerful beast. On the day of its ascension, the wind surged and the thunder clouds flashed. It used its huge body to withstand ninety-nine sky thunders and one heart tribulation thunder, and successfully ascended.
.
To ascend, a monster must survive the tribulation with its true body. After reshaping its immortal body in the Mortal Transformation Pond, it can transform at will.
Just when Nine Snakes ascended to the Immortal Realm and entered the Mortal Transformation Pond, an immortal who had been waiting by the pond cast an enchantment on it, forcing it to reshape its demon body.
In this way, if it wants to turn into a human form, it has to use magic.
The immortal who controls it is the master of the spirit realm.
From then on, the fate of Nine Snakes can be imagined. It was controlled by its master and signed a master-servant contract to become an immortal pet. It fought for him everywhere, but it did not get the respect and care it deserved.
During an outing, it met a demon fairy. Later, the owner found out and took it away by force and killed the demon fairy. However, Nine Snakes was already pregnant, and the owner originally planned to abort the child in its belly, but for some reason
But changed his mind.
Jiu She thought that her master had finally shown compassion for her, and she raised her child with peace of mind. Ten years later, she gave birth to a child. When her master saw the curled up little snake, he was very happy, laughed, and asked Jiu Snake to raise the child well.
Let it survive the catastrophe as soon as possible.
Jiu Snake really spent all his money to raise his son. A thousand years later, his son survived the immortal calamity. The master repeated his old tricks and controlled Jiu Snake's son again.
Moreover, he did not want another immortal pet, but was refining a weapon and needed a pure immortal spirit as the weapon spirit.
He cruelly took away the fairy spirit of Nine Snakes' son, but left the demon crystal to Nine Snakes as a thought, and said that this was the price for disobeying his orders!
Jiu She was in pain, but was controlled by the contract and could not seek revenge from his master, so he had to input part of his memory into his son's demon crystal. When he went out for the last time, he deliberately did not resist and ended his life.
"So, I'm very scared." Jin Mang said, "I am also a monster. When I ascend, I have to use my true body to survive the tribulation, and I also need to reshape my immortal body in the Mortal Transformation Pond."
After becoming the master's spiritual pet, Nine Snakes learned that the immortals guarding the Mortal Transformation Pond would collect some rewards and sell the ascended person's information, allowing the immortals in need to wait and easily capture the desired immortal pet or servant.
"There is such a thing..." Yan Qing was shocked when she heard this. Although she had thought that the fairy world was not as beautiful as she imagined because of the behavior of some people in her sect, she had never imagined that it would be so dangerous and dark.
!
"So, I thought I would wait for you and let the two of us ascend together so that we could take care of you." Jin Mang put away his heavy expression.
"But..." Yan Qing was trying to spend the remaining four hundred years of his life looking for a solution to Rong Che's problem, but the day of his ascension was far out of reach.
"It doesn't matter, I also need to be stronger! Besides, even if one day your lifespan is about to end and you have to ascend, I can stay and protect him for you and find a way for him to ascend too. After all, the lifespan of our monsters is short.
In thousands of years!”
"Isn't this unfair to my sister?"
"What's fair...my sister is willing to do it, but she can still find an excuse for her cowardice!"
"Thank you, Sister Jin Mang!" Yan Qing was moved and said sincerely.
She also decided to ask Chu Chu if she had the opportunity to solve the problem.
"Okay, although I really want you to stay with my sister for a few more days, is it time for you to go find your little lover?" Jin Mang said suddenly.
