When the lanterns first came on, the two of them stepped into Qingfeng City side by side.
Before going to bed, Lao Yutou taught Li Caiwei a secret to retract the tail behind her into the body, so that she did not attract too much help because of the three silver tails after entering the city. Li Caiwei's appearance at this time
Not only has she recovered, but her temperament has also undergone a great change. Before taking the three-tailed silver fox essence, Li Caiwei showed nobility in her movements, like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world. But now she only wears Jiang Shuiyao's blood-red hair.
The robe highlights the graceful figure to the fullest, making it incredibly beautiful.
Compared with before, she now looks more like a demon lotus in a blood pool. Her extreme beauty is full of weirdness, and she can't help but want to pick it. But the blood pool emits an extremely dangerous signal, which seems to say picking it.
She needs to pay an extremely heavy price.
Not long after entering the Royal Tower, the two of them had already become the center of attention.
"These are the costumes of the Blood-clothed Soul Sect! What a golden boy and girl, but why do they look so unfamiliar to each other and come to Qingfeng City for the first time?"
"But it's not right! You see, the clothes the two of them are wearing are obviously not in their size. They look more like those worn by a fat man!"
"Ha! Could it be that someone from the Blood-clothed Soul Sect kicked the iron plate and were robbed of their clothes by these two people?"
Wherever the two passed by, you could immediately hear a lot of people whispering. Now was the busiest time near the Imperial Tower. Naturally, someone from Chengtian Sword Sect saw the two of them, and one of the women murmured:
"Eh...why do I look at this person so much like Senior Sister Li Caiwei?"
"it's me."
Li Caiwei followed the sound, borrowed a robe from the woman, and found some healing elixirs before entering a private room with Jiang Shuiyao.
As for why she wore the clothes of the Blood-clothed Soul Sect, she did not explain.
As the largest restaurant in Qingfeng City, Jinhuang Tower naturally has its own heritage. Take this private room as an example. After closing the door, an independent formation will be automatically opened to separate it from the outside world, making it impossible for spiritual consciousness to penetrate.
The outside world cannot detect what is going on inside.
The sunless vine that Lao Yutou wanted was bought not long after he entered the city. It was not a scarce thing, not to mention that with this red robe, the store had to offer it respectfully even if he didn't spend any money on fluorite.
Li Caiwei hid behind the screen and put on the clothes of the Chengtian Sword Sect, and seemed to instantly transform back into a fairy who was not stained by the mortal world. Jiang Shuiyao, on the other hand, did not see anyone from the Blood-clothed Soul Sect along the way, so he could only make do with this.
Wearing robes, now he looks more like those actors downstairs who are shouting, dancing with guns and dancing with sticks.
The wine and delicacies that the waiter had brought quickly went out again. Old Yutou was still sleeping, and Chai Que was still on the island in the middle of the lake and had not returned. Seeing Jiang Shuiyao applying plaster to the two broken ribs, Li Cai
Wei filled a glass of wine, sighed softly, and drank it.
Jiang Shuiyao's brows were soothed, and the plaster was surprisingly effective. Internal vision showed that the ribs returned to their original positions in an instant and began to heal slowly.
Li Caiwei asked for this ointment from a fellow sect, so I guess it's not an ordinary product.
Li Caiwei frowned slightly, drinking cup after cup to drink away her sorrow. Jiang Shui looked at this beautiful face from a distance and couldn't help but sigh.
Li Caiwei was drunk and confused, holding up the wine glass and said: "I seem to have two souls in my body now."
"I said before that because of the relationship between you and my sect, I cannot enter Qingfeng City with you. In fact, even just now, I have always had this idea. But there is always another force controlling me, telling me that you
You are my master, and I must follow you wherever you go."
Jiang Shuiyao opened his mouth, and Li Caiwei continued to talk to herself: "Actually, from the moment I accidentally ate the fox demon soul, I have been fighting against this power, but I can't win no matter what."
A sad smile appeared on her delicate face, and a teardrop slipped from her cheek.
She raised her head and drank another glass of wine: "In the past half day, I have thought about committing suicide more than once. But I was also tightly controlled by that power, and even every time I thought about committing suicide, That kind of power will be even stronger. Later, I gradually figured out the rules. If I insist on seeking death, the sanity that belongs to me will be completely swallowed up by the fox spirit, and I will also be completely changed by then. Become a fox, a servant who only listens to you."
"well..."
After a brief silence, Jiang Shuiyao sighed, picked up his wine glass, touched Li Caiwei lightly, and said, "If possible, I would like to give you your freedom."
This was Jiang Shuiyao's true words. At that time, Old Yutou only said that he could disrupt Mr. Shen's sacrifice to Li Caiwei, but he did not expect that it would be the result it is now.
It would be a lie to say that he was not moved, but those thoughts passed by in a flash. After all, having such a stunningly beautiful maid would be a temptation that no man could resist. As for Jiang Shuiyao, he was only thinking about it now. He wanted to save his parents from Chai Que, and secondly because of his own injuries. As for singing and dancing or spending time together, he didn't have much thought.
Jiang Shuiyao said: "Why don't you return to the Chengtian Sword Sect! See if you can find a way to unlock the contract. If you need my help, just ask."
"No matter what the outcome is, I will go back." Li Caiwei nodded, her heart already filled with blood.
She was originally the sweet daughter of Heaven from the Chengtian Sword Sect, but now she is in a state of neither human nor demon. Li Caiwei wished she could return to the sect immediately to find a way to save her, but she was a little scared and didn't know what would happen after she returned. To face those relatives and friends, I don’t even know how to live well in the years when I continue to practice in the sect.
Old Yutou didn't know when he woke up. He was already lying on the table and continued slowly: "You can go back, but the contract cannot be solved. Little girl, if you don't defeat your inner demons, your path of cultivation will be ruined."
"Inner demon?" Li Caiwei stopped crying and said slightly angrily: "This is the real me. How did I accidentally eat the soul of the fox demon and become the inner demon in your mouth?!"
Old Yu shook his head and motioned Jiang Shuiyao to pour him a glass of wine: "I didn't explain it in detail, so you made your own conclusion about the word inner demon. If there is no inner demon, what is it?"
Li Caiwei was stunned and was about to retort when Old Yutou spoke again: "The fox demon clan has been at its peak these years, so naturally there will be no shortage of geniuses. And Mr. Shen wants to use three silver fox spirits to get you among them. A person becomes a member of his kind who is loyal to him just to prepare for a big war. Hehehehe... It's just that Jiang Shuiyao and I disrupted the situation."
Old Yutou is now no bigger than a palm, and even if he stands up, the body of the fish cannot be much higher than a wine glass. He rolls up a cup of wine with his tongue, and then says: "The Fox Clan will hold an election every twenty years to select a new leader. They will be trained by extremely outstanding heirs. And the rewards for winning the general election are extremely rich. The smaller ones will receive heavenly materials and earthly treasures, while the elder ones will be valued by the top leaders of the Fox clan and entrusted with important tasks. The old fox asked me to help him recreate the Soul-devouring Ten Thousand Bone Formation. I just want to strengthen the little fox by absorbing the spiritual power of other living beings, so that he can stand out during the election and benefit their lineage."
Jiang Shuiyao was puzzled and asked: "Then why do you want us to join the team? To cultivate competitors?"
"Of course not. The fox clan's general election is to send them to an ancient battlefield for training. The winner will be considered as long as they can survive there long enough."
"The Fox Clan is powerful and has countless branches, just like your human sects, large and small. The little fox plans to turn you into a demon clan and bring you into the ancient battlefield, which will be a big help. And through the Soul-Eating Ten Thousand Bone Formation The person who performs the sacrifice will only be loyal to him, so even if he survives to the end, the benefits gained will be shared by their lineage of fox demons and will not cause any losses."
Having said this, even Lao Yutou couldn't help but clicked his tongue and sighed: "The origins of the three silver foxes are more than one level higher than their red fox origins. I don't know where they got this essence. But in this election, a lot of money has been spent.”
Li Caiwei murmured: "But I don't want any chance, I just want to be a human being..."
Jiang Shuiyao said mockingly to himself: "My martial arts skills are no longer good, but Mr. Shen actually said that he was originally prepared for me."
Old Yutou smiled and said: "There are many ways to improve your cultivation level in a short period of time, but it's hard to say what the consequences will be."
Jiang Shuiyao nodded, thinking again of the black box that the tough man took out that day.
Moreover, he has heard of a kind of elixir more than once in Qingfeng City these days, which can make the user's cultivation level increase dramatically in a short period of time, but the price is also extremely miserable, either exploding to death or turning into blood. , in short, he did not leave a whole body until his death.
Old Yutou thought for a moment, turned to look at Li Caiwei and said, "Little girl, what about humans? What about monsters?"
Li Caiwei replied: "Of course it is fundamentally different."
Old Yutou asked again: "What is the essential difference?"
Li Caiwei blushed and was speechless for a moment.
Everyone knows the fundamental difference, but if I really want to talk about it, I don’t seem to know where to start.
Old Yutou smiled and said: "Actually, there is no difference at all."
"Human lifespan is not considered long among all living things in this world, nor can it be said to be short-lived. As far as ordinary people are concerned, they can't eat three meals a day and sleep less than three feet. If nothing happens, sixty or seventy years old is Normally, you are lucky to be eighty or ninety years old, and your life ends here. As the saying goes, small knowledge is not as good as big knowledge, and young years are not as good as big ones. Some of them do not want to end this life hastily, and want to become stronger and live better. For a long time, or because they want to explore more unknowns in this world, the human race has a method of cultivation. The original intention of the demon race's cultivation is not much different from that of the human race."
"You told me last night that disturbing the river and injecting souls was for your 'Tao'. Now you are thinking deeply, what is outside your two sects? What is outside Nanchengzhou? What is the ultimate level of practice? "
Jiang Shuiyao and Li Caiwei thought deeply for a long time, and Li Caiwei replied: "Besides the two sects, there are other sects and other living beings. There are three continents outside Nanchengzhou, and maybe beyond the four continents, there is a wider world. As for practice, there is no ultimate."
Jiang Shuiyao added: "There are no eternal enemies, and there is no world that can come to an end."
Old Yutou laughed and was quite pleased: "I once told Jiang Shuiyao that you definitely didn't do anything wrong by disturbing him. It was due to the interests of the two families. If it were me, I would do the same. But there are many emotions in the world. , you might as well relax a little, be a little more calm, a little free and easy.”
Seeing Li Caiwei start to close his eyes and reminisce, Lao Yutou stopped talking. He had no intention of enlightening Li Caiwei, and now that he has said so much, it is the most benevolent thing. Besides, he has mentioned it to this point. If he still can't enlighten, then
No one can blame it.
After another long silence, Old Yutou said: "Young man, have you bought the Wuyang Vine?"
Jiang Shuiyao nodded. Although the sunless vines sold in the store were not very powerful, they were all sorted and tied into squares, which looked very pleasing to the eye. At this time, Jiang Shuiyao neatly stacked them on the table.
, like a hill.
"enough."
Old Yutou was quite satisfied and continued: "You're a good boy. You didn't disappoint me in that fight with the little fox."
Jiang Shuiyao scratched his head and smiled. This fight was indeed quite comfortable.
Old Yutou asked: "There seems to be some story between you and your master?"
Similarly, Li Caiwei braced herself and waited for Jiang Shuiyao's answer.
Jiang Shuiyao's face changed slightly, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip before saying, "No."
Old Yutou nodded, everyone has secrets and it is normal not to tell them.
"alright."
Old Yutou licked the wine in his glass clean, opened his mouth and sucked all the sunless vine bought by Jiang Shuiyao, and continued: "I will sleep for a while, you don't need to thank me for what happened on the island in the middle of the lake.
I save your life, you take me out, and after you do one more thing for me, we'll be settled."
Jiang Shuiyao nodded, and Li Caiwei also hurriedly asked if she needed any help.
Old Yutou smiled and shook his head, and continued: "Go find a wider water area, and then I will just throw it in it."
Having said that, Old Yutou climbed into the river to receive the precepts from afar, and a faint voice came from inside:
"The two little guys remember that although they will follow the path trodden by their predecessors during their lifetime of cultivation, they must not forget to find their own path."
Jiang Shuiyao nodded solemnly, and then said softly.
Don’t worry! I will definitely find you a good home! This chapter has been completed!
