Jingcheng, Lingfeng, West District.
Huo Donglai pursed his lips, with a hint of worry in his eyebrows. He returned to his residence and smiled as soon as he opened the door.
"Lingzhen, Qing'er!"
"Husband!"
"Uncle is back!" The kitchen maid peeked her head in.
Huo Donglai quickly walked in and took the child from his wife who got up.
The little guy waved his little hands, grabbed the rattle from his father, and cheered with a grin.
More than six months old, he called "Daddy" vaguely, which made the man smile even more. He leaned in for a kiss and let his son scratch his face randomly.
Blood is thicker than water, and he had a strong feeling that this was his child without any tests.
Shi Lingzhen also looked sweet and happy, "Is it so early today?"
Huo Donglai smiled and nodded: "Well, I haven't had much business recently. I will come back after finishing the matters at hand."
Shi Lingzhen smiled brightly, knowing that her husband was thinking about the child. Since the child was born, he would go home as soon as he finished working in the store.
The couple played around with the child and sat down at the table. The maid brought out plates of exquisite food from the kitchen.
The family is so warm.
Shi: "I was walking in the square at noon. I heard that Tang Lingyun's soul tablet shattered and died?"
Huo: "Yeah."
Shi: "What a pity, that Quan Boguang is really unscrupulous."
Huo: "It may not be true. The news came from within the Tang family."
Shi Lingzhen blinked: "Did the Tang family do it on purpose?"
Huo Donglai said: "It's not just the Tang family who is looking for people, other forces have also secretly sent people, aiming at the 'golden light technique'."
Shi Lingzhen nodded: "This will have some effect."
Huo Donglai pondered for a moment and said, "I seem to have seen Quan Boguang."
"Ah? When?"
"It should have been him the night before yesterday, and there was a woman with him. I suspect that he has been hiding in the city and never left. The Badadian Hall was just a cover-up."
"Why can't the soul card be detected?"
"Maybe some method was used to block the soul card tracking. There are many evil ways in the demon sect, so it's not surprising."
"You didn't tell your father about this, did you?"
"No."
"Well, it's none of our business, so don't pay attention. There were so many masters from the Tang family present at that time, and he could come and go as he pleased. Don't mess with him."
"..."
late at night.
During the romantic affair, Shi Lingzhen was in full flow, lying in her husband's arms tenderly with a satisfied look on her face.
Not long after, she looked up and noticed her husband frowning in thought, and asked softly: "Brother Donglai, is he interested?"
"Oh, no."
With her red lips pressed lightly, the woman dug into her arms and said, "Don't keep it in your heart if you have something to do. Zhen'er will share it with your husband."
Huo Donglai lowered his eyes and said after hesitation: "I have a batch of friends' resources. My second brother promised to repay them at my quotation. Yesterday, the settlement was 10,000 less."
Shi Lingzhen's eyelashes trembled, he raised his head and stood up and said, "Brother Zhong Yan's? I still have some spiritual stones here, let's use them first."
Huo Donglai was silent for a moment and said, "Brother won't want it if he knows about it."
"How would he know if you didn't tell me?"
After a pause, Shi Lingzhen said dissatisfied: "I'll go talk to my second brother tomorrow! Not even a penny is missing! You want the horse to run, but you don't let the horse eat grass. You haven't spared any effort, so what's the difference?" Treated like this, our store can’t make any money at all!”
****
Spring is here, everything comes to life, and it's the season of reproduction and mating.
Surrounded by green mountains, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
In the quiet valley, beside the clear water pool.
The girl exposed her perfect jade body to the air, presented it to nature, shook it wantonly, and sang to her heart's content.
Finally, he lay softly on the green grass, immersed in the aftershocks and reminiscing: My husband is so amazing, Huan'er is so happy...
So happy!
When the body and mind reach the ultimate level of joy, the thought of letting it go will really arise.
a long time.
The two put on their facial masks again, applied medicinal powder, took poison-repelling pills, crossed the poison barrier swamp, and continued deep into the mountains.
Two hours later.
The couple joined hands to fight against a winged tiger that had fully refined its Qi. After a fierce battle with a stick of incense, they killed the monster, leaving their clothes stained with blood.
"Brother, all we have encountered are monsters above the ninth level. Are you still going forward?"
"Well, this place is still relatively peripheral. If you encounter a foundation-building monster, you can assist with long-range attacks and cooperate."
"good!"
After resting and recovering for a while, the two continued moving forward.
the next day.
Half a month later, the two met the adventuring monk again. They sneaked up to a hillside and looked into the valley.
I saw two people fighting a huge black bear in the distance, the beast roaring repeatedly.
Zhong Yan's eyes flashed, and he saw that it was the 'Black-armored Violent Bear' with the Great Perfection Qi, while the two boys and girls only had the eighth level of Qi refining, and the two sides fought evenly.
Jiang Huan sent a message: "Brother, it's them!"
The brother and sister Ning Que and Ning Zhe were considered acquaintances and had met them three times.
Jiang Huan's eyes were filled with brilliance and he praised sincerely: "They are so awesome!"
The black-armored violent bear is a fourth-level monster. Among the many common monsters, it is one of the more powerful ones, mainly due to its high intelligence.
Monsters and monsters are different.
Most of the monsters are wild beasts that unlock a certain amount of intelligence, absorb the essence of the aura of heaven and earth, and advance to grow. They still belong to the category of 'beasts'.
Compared with humans, monster beasts have much lower intelligence, slower cultivation speed, and fewer magical powers, relying on their physical strength.
The demon race, like the human race, has multiplied into a race, has inheritance, and has practiced various techniques since childhood.
Some monsters with strong bloodline can transform into human form when they are born.
In the Xianwu Continent, most of the demon tribes live in the southern region, forming many demon kingdoms.
"The Xu Chengning family..."
Zhong Yan murmured secretly that among the top twenty powerful families in the Yan Kingdom, there was no 'Ning Family'.
But at this moment, looking at the magical combat power of these two brothers, it is truly extraordinary.
He went over without releasing his spiritual consciousness, and scanned the entire valley with his naked eyes. When the brother and sister were in Wu Zhuyuan, there was an old Tao protector with them. He should have also come to take the junior here to practice.
Seeing that the two of them were starting to lose ground, Jiang Huan said, "Brother, would you like to help?"
Zhong Yan's eyes flickered, hesitantly said with a little hesitation: "You go and become familiar with each other, there is no need to talk too much afterwards."
Jiang Huan, who had broken through to the eighth level of Qi refining, tore off his mask and walked away with his sword, shouting: "Fellow Taoist of the Ning family! Jiang Huan is here to help!"
The brother and sister were startled and saw who was coming. The girl Ning Zhe smiled and said, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Jiang! Thank you!"
Zhong Yan then revealed his figure and did not step forward. He stood on the hillside a hundred meters away and watched.
The three of them worked together and killed the black bear in half a quarter of an hour, and gathered together to chat for a while.
Jiang Huan said goodbye and returned. The brother and sister waved their hands in this direction from a distance.
Zhong Yan nodded and led Jiang Huan in another direction, more than three hundred meters away. As expected, he sensed the aura of a third party appearing in the valley previously, which was probably pulsating on the fifth floor of the foundation.
"Brother, they want to share half of the monster body with me, but I don't want it."
"By the way, brother, word has spread about us intercepting and killing the monks. They call us 'male and female'... Ning Zhe reminds us to be careful."
As he said this, Jiang Huan's goose laughed.
Zhong Yan was dumbfounded and said indifferently: "Be careful when you go back, or form a team."
Noon the next day.
The two of them paused and saw two small dots appearing in the distance, and Changhong was approaching quickly.
Jiang Huan's heart tightened. He was a foundation-building monk who directly controlled the air. His aura was powerful.
A young man with a fifth-level foundation and an old man with a sixth-level foundation.
Zhong Yan's face was calm, and he bowed and held his hands in the distance, while Jiang Huan followed suit.
The two rainbows slowed down slightly, just glanced at them, and then continued to fly away.
Wait for them to completely go away.
Jiang Huan breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice: "Brother, why don't they rob us?"
Zhong Yan asked back: "When you encounter someone who is on the first or second level of Qi Refining, do you want to rob him?"
Jiang Huan thought about it seriously, shook his head, and nodded again: "Huan'er understands, he doesn't care about our storage bags."
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "There are reasons for this, and the other is that if the strong encounter the weak and kill them all, the little monks will have no way to survive. There are unwritten rules in the Mangdang Mountains and Yunmeng Swamp, and there is a difference of five Don’t grab the small steps.
Also, you look young and have the eighth level of Qi refining. In the eyes of outsiders, you must be an important disciple of the sect and family.
Most of these people have life-saving cards, or they are tracking soul marks. If someone kills you, you have to worry about being discovered and coming to your door.
You kill my disciples, and I'll kill your juniors. Most people won't do this kind of thing. Besides, strong men have their own demeanor, and there are some things they don't bother to do. "
Jiang Huan nodded his head.
Zhong Yan added: "Of course, there are also people who ignore the rules and have no scruples. Therefore, whether you are robbing others or guarding against being robbed, be careful in everything..."
