At Mao Shi, the pear blossoms that had fallen off last night were covered with branches overnight, leaving only a few scattered petals on the clear green pond.
Su Yi briefly taught her some vocabulary, gave her a piece of candy as a reward, and left in a hurry. He seemed very busy, but she didn't care.
It’s better to leave! While it was still early, she had to pick flowers and refine the flower tea.
The pear trees to the east of Xifeng Pavilion were as tall as a canopy. Hua Ruxue stood on the top of the pavilion and hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the house and gave up the idea of picking flowers. She hated the feeling of being wet all over her body.
She reached out and pushed the sleeping cat demon. The sun was coming out soon and she had to pick flowers. "Cat demon, wake up."
The cat demon opened his eyes, looking a little dazed. It took him a while to recover, and he tried to stretch his uncoordinated limbs and said: "Qingyu Pavilion only opens in the morning. If you want to drink the morning dew, just wait until they finish picking it and bring it to you."
"Pick flowers." She had drank morning dew before, and knew that there were people in Luoying Valley who specially collected morning dew. Now that rootless water is available, as well as Zijin furnace, her flower tea is just about to meet the flowers that are blooming in the morning sun.
"Why are you picking flowers? Forget it, I'm already awake and I'll go out with you for a walk." The cat demon jumped up and staggered when he landed on the ground.
Going north from Xifeng Pavilion and passing through several courtyards, you will reach Qingyu Pavilion. The door of Qingyu Pavilion is now closed, and from time to time there is a sound of birds chirping and dogs barking inside. All monsters without an owner must live in Qingyu Pavilion, just like Xueji Pavilion. She is now Su Yi's contracted beast, so she can live in Xifeng Pavilion.
"Going west from here is the Xuanfeng Pavilion. Monsters are prohibited from entering there. It is said that the disciples will bring some demonic energy with them when they return from an outing. The demonic energy has no effect on people, but it will turn the monsters into demons."
"What is demonization?" This was the third time she heard "demonization". The first time was when Su Li said that she could easily become a demon devourer after coming out of the Beast Forest. The second time was when Su He said that Su Yi didn't contract her directly to prevent her from becoming the Demon Devourer.
The cat demon turned to look at her in surprise, as if to say, "You don't even know this?" Then she spoke slowly and said in a serious tone: "Once a monster is demonized, it will lose its mind and turn into a bloodthirsty monster. It cannot transform back into a monster, and it will only lead to death."
Hua Ruxue opened her eyes wide and looked in the direction of Xuanfeng Pavilion, silently classifying this place as a forbidden area. She had never heard of demonic energy before, "Where does demonic energy come from? Can all monsters be demonized?" Why is it demonized?”
"Qingyang Mountain is close to the Forest of No Return. Since the death of the Dryad and the Fox King, there has been more and more demonic energy in the Forest of No Return. But don't worry, Qingyang Mountain has a barrier to isolate the invasion of demonic energy."
"Will all monsters be demonized? I don't know. I only know that monsters stained with human blood are easier to be demonized than ordinary monsters. I heard that the higher the level, the less likely they are to be demonized. A seventh-level monster The beast will never become demonized in the future. Also, just in case, the contracted beast will carry a magic weapon to isolate the demonic energy, which is the belt around my neck."
The cat demon stretched his neck and touched it for a long time before realizing that he didn't take it with him when he went out. He said, "I don't go out on weekdays, so I don't need that magic weapon."
Hua Ruxue nodded and took note of the cat demon's words carefully. She couldn't go to Bai Zang Valley, nor could she go to Xuanfeng Pavilion. There was also a magic weapon that could isolate the evil spirit.
"Here we are, this is the easternmost garden of Luoying Valley. The first ray of sunshine in the morning will shine here." After saying that, the cat demon found a place with green grass and lay down, yawned lazily, and squinted again. eyes.
Hua Ruxue put down the jade pen holder in her hand. The pen holder was very deep and suitable for holding flower petals. There was a crystal clear snow lotus petal inside, which her rabbit found. She would always think of that sunny snow day unconsciously, but she would force herself not to think about it. She was a fox who knew how to make herself happy.
After a moment, the warm yellow light illuminated everything around her. She walked to the purple-red flowers. This kind of flower is called milkvetch. The purple-red corolla is like an upside-down umbrella, and the area near the umbrella shaft is white. , the whole plant exudes a faint fragrance. I have smelled this smell before, as if I was in a dream.
Soon she picked out a milkvetch that was blooming in the sun. Just as she reached out to pick it, the flower hid aside!
She reached out to grab it again, and the flower shrank and hid under the leaves. There was something wrong with this flower, but time was tight. If you can't pick this one, then pick another one.
When she turned her head to pick other flowers, a streak of yellow dust hit her face. Fortunately, she avoided it in time to avoid being hit.
"Sneeze!" A shocking sneeze sounded without any warning. Hua Ruxue rubbed her nose and left the milkvetch bush and walked to the cat demon. The surrounding area was filled with a rich fragrance and her nose itched.
The cat demon stood up in panic and looked around cautiously. Then he seemed to remember something. He breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the spot again. He said nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's the little flower demon. Luoying Valley is suitable for the cultivation of demon beasts. There will always be Some little guys suddenly become smarter, just get used to it."
"Flower demon?" This was the first time she had seen a flower that gave birth to wisdom. It seemed that the flower demon regarded this place as its territory and did not want her to pick flowers. Should she scare the little flower demon away?
In the past, in the Forest of Beasts, the monsters divided their territories according to their strength. She was more powerful than this flower demon and deserved to own this place.
After making up her mind, she was about to take action when the voice of the cat demon came to her ears: "If you want to pick flowers, you can ask them to help. The flower demon's favorite food is... what is it?"
Asking the Flower Demon for help with picking flowers is a good idea! Among the hundreds of flowers, there were several names she had never heard of. With the help of the flower demon, she would be able to collect them all quickly.
Seeing that the cat demon lowered his head and thought for a long time and couldn't remember anything, Hua Ruxue squatted in front of the flowers and asked: "Little flower demon, what do you want to eat?"
As soon as the words came out, a milkvetch with a larger flower stalk poked out from the flowers, and a clear and tender voice sounded, "Flower mud!"
"Yes, yes, it's the mud in the green lake of Xifeng Pavilion! The pear blossoms bloom during the day and fall at night, and they turn into mud at the bottom of the lake. This is the best nourishment! Su He often sneaks over to get the flower mud to grow some kind of grass. Now I’m still raising a piece of grass that can’t bloom and has no intelligence, but it’s actually more valuable than me!”
Hua Ruxue bent down and scratched the cat demon's head to express comfort. When Su He got the cat demon, he even went to hook up with a grass, "It's not good for Su He."
People are not good!
The cat demon suddenly lowered his head and stopped talking, not knowing what he was thinking.
When she didn't get a response, she had to squat down, push the pen holder in front of the little flower demon, and count the names of the flowers with her fingers.
"I know where there is flower mud. In exchange, I need milkvetch, peach blossom, pear blossom, peony, peony... these ninety-nine kinds of flowers, a petal that blooms against the morning sun."
The little flower demon shook his body, and a petal of purple milkvetch slowly fell into the pen holder. Seeing this, Hua Ruxue happily left the cat demon behind and went back to get the flower mud alone.
She always had a good memory, and she arrived at Qingyu Pavilion in a short while, but there was a group of six people standing in front of Qingyu Pavilion. She had seen the leader before. He and Su He appeared in the Beast Forest that day, followed by a woman with almond-shaped eyes.
The man was still dressed in blue, with a purple jade pendant hanging around his waist. The jade pendant had an unusual texture, like a magic weapon.
The two looked at each other, and she was about to leave, but the man stepped forward to block her way, introduced himself solemnly, without a trace of arrogance in his eyes, and said: "My name is Su Yue, what is your name?"
As soon as she said this, the other five disciples who were making sword moves stopped and looked at her. She didn't care about their eyes. She would be surrounded by a group of people wherever she was growing up.
But the voices of those five people talking about her were extremely loud, as if they were afraid that she wouldn't hear them.
"Is this the mutated monster that survived the beast forest? It has a human body and a fox tail. It's really scary! Fortunately, the young master only made a temporary contract with her."
"You came late. You don't know what happened back then. She is the second monster in these years that has not let Xiao Hanjing light up. The other one is the contracted beast of Su He and senior brother."
"Then how can she practice? Didn't it mean that she defeated Senior Brother Su Li's fifth-level monster? Is it so evil? She can't let go, can she?"
"Senior Brother Su Li suffered a lot because of her affair back then, and this time the Young Master protected her. I heard that the Young Master initially wanted her to fight with Senior Brother Su He's cat demon, but Senior Brother Su He was not happy, so that's why Senior Brother Su Li came forward, and yesterday’s arena match was comparable to a flood discharge scene.”
"It makes sense. The fifth-level monster is comparable to the golden elixir stage. She is a monster that can only be cultivated for seven years. Even if her talent points are full, she can only be level 4 at most. She can't win at all. But the young master lets the fourth-level silver snake do not make a contract. , why did you fall in love with her?"
The other five people wished they were thousands of miles away from her, but Su Yue was not far away but close to her. As if he didn't hear what those people were talking about, he took out a bag of chicken meat and pretended to be intimate and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Hua Ruxue did not take the bag in his hand, but just stood there and looked at him calmly. When she saw the inquiry in his eyes, she quickly took five steps back and refused his approach.
Underneath this man's humble appearance, his eyes were sharp and he must be asking for something, just like the blue bird that coaxed her into giving up food in the name of testing poison.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, nor will I make a contract with you. Do you know a black bird named Han Gao?" Su Yue lowered his voice, as if this would make her take off her guard.
She didn't understand why Su Yue came to her to ask about Han Gao. Is there really something wrong with Han Gao's breakthrough?
Seeing her alert expression, Su Yue showed a trace of regret in his eyes, and said in a sad tone: "He was my favorite monster when we were in Xueji Pavilion. I heard that you were the only one left alive in the Beast Forest. I happened to meet you today. I couldn't help but come forward and ask."
Hua Ruxue couldn't tell the truth from his words. People are cunning beings, cunninger than rabbits just like Su Yi. But through Su Yue, she was almost certain that there must be other things hidden behind the catastrophe in the Hundred Beasts Forest.
Why did Su He enter the Forest of Beasts twice, and why did Su Yue care so much about Hangao? What does Han Gao's breakthrough have to do with Su He? These questions appeared in her mind, followed by an unconfirmed guess...
While pondering, the door of Qingyu Pavilion was opened, and a voice came from inside, "Junior brother Su Yue, junior brothers, please come in!"
She turned to look at the open door. There was a barrier in front of the door, blocking her view.
"I will also take a few junior brothers to select contract beasts, and these will be given to you." After saying that, Su Yue put down the bag in his hand and led his five junior brothers into Qingyu Pavilion, and the door was closed again.
She ate a tasteless Bigu Pill last night, but she wasn't hungry. The cat demon had mentioned the spirit chicken, so she thought she might like it.
A moment later, Hua Ruxue returned to the cat demon and flower demon with a tube of silt and a bag of spiritual meat.
The little flower demon is still helping her collect petals carefully. There are ninety-nine petals. Even the little flower demon has to scramble for a while.
When the cat demon saw her from a distance, he hurriedly ran over to smell her scent: "If you don't come here, I'm going to find you! What does your scent smell like? It's not just mud!"
The bag was opened, and the familiar fragrance diluted the fragrance of the surrounding flowers. Hua Ruxue squatted on the ground and lowered the edge of the bag to reveal a whole spiritual chicken, and explained to her: "The spiritual chicken was given by Su Yue."
The cat demon's eyes widened, and he put his head directly into the bag, letting out a contented meow. While chewing, he said: "Do you know Su Yue? Su He said that boy has a very good heart, be careful not to be deceived! Oh! No, we are monsters, there is nothing we can’t lie to.”
"Hmm, he brought his junior brother to Qingyu Pavilion to look for the contracted beast. We met him when we were passing by. He asked me if I knew Han Gao. Do you know Han Gao? Do you know Su He?"
The cat demon raised his head and thought about it carefully, and then gave a definite answer: "I don't know. Last time Su He went to the Beast Forest, he said he met a crow and there were no other birds."
"Why is he asking this? No, I have to tell Su He to go! I promised Su He to help him keep an eye on Su Yue. Su He often left me to Su Yue before."
The cat demon hurriedly swallowed the spirit chicken in his mouth and ran towards Qingyu Pavilion. Before leaving, he turned around and told her: "Chenshi, Qingyu Pavilion, don't be late!"
Hua Ruxue put away the bag, and there was still half a spiritual chicken left in it. Between food, helping Su, and asking for information, the cat demon chose the latter without hesitation.
What a dishonest white cat, unlike their honest fox.
However, since Su He didn't know Han Gao, it meant that Hang Gao's breakthrough had nothing to do with Su He. There was no problem with his breakthrough, but she thought it was too much.
