Named disciple was Ning Fan's answer to Yang Gu.
Let's just record the name. If it doesn't suit your needs, you'll kick it. If it's useful, you can cultivate it a little bit.
Even this ambiguous answer made Yang Gu excited. He immediately bid farewell to Ning Fan and rushed back to Dan Island in the Inner Sea.
This time, the first thing is to recommend Ning Fan to enter the Alchemy Way and become a guest elder.
The second is to invite people, invite a large group of people, many people, to help Ning Fan kill the Thorn Alliance!
It's not certain how many people can be invited. Yang Gu is very popular. With his easy-going personality, he has friends all over the world. With the addition of some Dan Dao friends, I'm afraid the fight between this group of people will be spectacular.
The Yanggu incident came to an end, but what happened next was to relieve Xu Qiuling's hidden physical dangers.
First, the fragment of the trapped fairy sword must be removed.
Secondly, the hidden danger of lack of gold in Xu Qiuling's fate must be completely solved.
For several days, Ning Fan thought hard behind closed doors, deduced dozens of treatment options, and finally selected three of them.
As soon as he left Xuan Cui Palace, Ning Fan went to Paradise Peak to look for Xu Qiuling, but the boudoir was empty.
I swept away my mind and searched half of Huanmo Island, but I couldn't find Xu Qiuling's whereabouts.
Ning Fan was secretly surprised. In the flower tomb, a girl of thirteen or fourteen who looked like a maid came timidly and handed a paper butterfly to Ning Fan.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, this is given to you by the young lady... The young lady asked you to find her..."
The little girl's words were trembling, and she seemed to be very afraid of Ning Fan.
"Your name is Xiaolian?"
"Yes, yes..." Little Lian didn't dare to raise her head.
"Did you fold this paper butterfly?"
"X-Xiao Lian deserves to die, Xiao Lian never dares to do it again..." The girl cried out and knelt down to beg for mercy. It seems that the maid is not allowed to fold the sound transmission paper butterfly to prevent the secret from being leaked.
"Well, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. This butterfly fold looks pretty good, not bad."
Ning Fan patted Xiaolian's head. Folding the paper butterfly, I glanced at the words inside and immediately felt dumbfounded. After taking one step, it disappeared without a trace.
In the distance, only the maid Xiaolian was left, kneeling on the ground. She didn't dare to raise her head until Ning Fan left, her expression still full of fear.
Behind the flowers. Seeing that Ning Fan had left, seven or eight maidservants immediately came over to help Xiaolian, each of them terrified.
"Xiao Lian, you are so brave. Mr. Zhou is a notorious demon in the outer sea. He has killed countless people. How dare you say three sentences to him!"
"It's okay, okay. I heard that he is a big devil who lusts after wives and daughters. You didn't do anything to him?"
"It seems like he touched your head just now. Could it be that he planted some kind of restriction?"
The female companions were all worried, but Xiaolian shook her head, blushed, and whispered,
"I, I think Mr. Zhou doesn't seem like a bad person... He also said that the paper butterflies I folded are pretty..."
"Oops. Miss Xiaolian is in love with spring..."
"I think it's not just Sichun, but also his soul that has been seduced by Mr. Zhou."
"whee…"
"Giggle..."
A group of girls started playing in the flower path, completely forgetting how terrifying Ning Fan was.
Over Huanmo Island, Ning Fan swept his mind and felt the playfulness of the maids, and sighed.
Although these maidservants have low status and even low qualifications and have no chance of cultivating to the realm of Jindan Yuanying in their lifetime, they are innocent and live a life like ordinary people.
Indeed, Ning Fan envied this dull and playful life, but life did not give him a choice.
There was only one sentence in the sound-transmitting paper butterfly, which was Xu Qiuling's soft whisper.
"The beauty is like water that never comes back, but the poor young man doesn't want to be ordinary..."
This sentence is a poem written by Xu Qiuling casually. She is really a talented woman.
Even though her life was in danger, she still had the heart to play hide and seek with Ning Fan, hiding her for Ning Fan to find.
Poor young master Bu Sifan... Is she pitying Ning Fan for working too hard in his life?
Ning Fan shook his head. He had nothing to do with an independent woman like Xu Qiuling.
Closing his eyes and pressing his fingertips on the paper butterfly, Ning Fan sensed the remaining breath in the wind through the breath on the paper butterfly, and chased Xu Qiuling with that breath.
Xu Qiuling's aura is special. She is immersed in flowers every day, loves and grows flowers, and has a floral fragrance that penetrates her soul.
Perhaps, she was a flower in her previous life...
In the black wind and snow of Huanmo Sea, a painting boat drifted out to sea, with only Xu Qiuling on board.
She is really bold. With her peak Golden Core cultivation level, she walks alone in the sea of joy and demons.
It seems bold, but in fact, the small painted boat is a treasure from the cave given by Dongxu. If there is an enemy, she can hide in the space in the boat. Under the refinement, no one can find out where she is hiding.
These are just rational safety, but Xu Qiuling is actually a very emotional person.
She believed that Ning Fan would come to look for her. When she saw Ning Fan for the first time, she was attracted by Ning Fan's temperament.
She always thought it was love at first sight, until three years ago, she began to suffer from an illness, became comatose, and began to have strange dreams.
In the dream, she was a dark bluegrass, standing alone in a deep valley, isolated from the world.
No one can enter her world, and she does not need to understand anyone else's world. She can enjoy herself alone and sing alone all day long.
Until that day, a snow-white butterfly flew into the valley.
It was so white that it was spotless, but it was fragile, as if it had been exposed to wind and rain somewhere, and half of the butterfly wings were broken by the rain palace.
Even so, the butterfly still flew stubbornly, refusing to admit defeat or surrender.
When the butterfly happened to fly over the orchid, it could no longer fly and fell into the stamen of the orchid.
The butterfly's breathing gradually became weaker, and it gradually lost its memory, but it still spread its wings stubbornly and tried to fly towards the sky.
At this moment, Orchid understood. She understood why the butterfly was injured, because the butterfly was too stupid and tried to soar into the sky with its fragile wings.
Its butterfly wings were torn apart by the strong wind.
"Silly butterfly, that is the world of immortals, you are just a little butterfly, why are you so persistent..."
The orchid speaks a flower language that the butterfly cannot hear, just as the orchid cannot change the butterfly's will.
The butterfly flaps its weak body again and again, and falls back to the flower stamen again and again. Orchid finally felt distressed.
She didn't understand why she felt distressed, but when she saw the butterfly's dying expression, she couldn't bear it and wanted to save the butterfly.
"Silly butterfly, pick my flower stamens. Then you can regain your strength."
"Silly butterfly, tear off my petals and you can complete the wings."
"Silly butterfly, you are too weak and your body is not strong enough to block the strong wind. I am willing to give you my golden grace to make your butterfly wings as strong as iron and stone, so that you can block the strong wind..."
"Silly Butterfly, why don't you look at me..."
That orchid. Secretly sprinkle the flower dew on the butterfly, patch the flower petals on the butterfly wings, and give your golden energy from life to life to the butterfly.
That butterfly is no longer pure white. Half of it is black. It is given by the orchid.
Her golden energy was not absorbed by her father's magnetic power...
Her golden energy was given to a butterfly in her previous life...
Finally, the butterfly gained strength and flew into the sky, but it never knew that there was an orchid that saved its life...
That orchid eventually lost its golden energy. A trace of withering.
Until one day, a trace of the remaining ashes of the burned butterfly fell in the wind and fell on the orchid.
At that moment, Orchid's heart was broken, like a sob, losing the last trace of life...
"A very sad dream...Am I too sentimental..." Xu Qiuling sighed.
"That butterfly, where did it go..." Xu Qiuling murmured to herself, with a sound-transmitting paper butterfly folded on her fingertips.
She loves flowers, she prefers butterflies...
Perhaps, a long time ago, she had an unrequited love for a butterfly...
Xu Qiuling urged the boat to move forward at an incredible speed. The monks passing by passed through the sky above the boat, but most of them could not feel the hidden aura of the boat.
She was alone, as if wandering and helpless.
But Xu Qiuling believed that Ning Fan would come back to find her.
Boom!
In the gentle wind and snow, a young man in white clothes and a black cloak followed a trace of breath and chased him to the painted boat and landed on the stern of the painted boat.
He was used to wearing white clothes, but after becoming possessed, he symbolically put on a huge black feather cloak over his white clothes.
One black and one white, good and evil alternate...
"Going to sea privately is not a child's play!" Ning Fan scolded with a frown. He was fighting all the way, even how dangerous the Endless Sea was, especially a lawless zone like the Huanmo Sea.
Yuan Yao was ambushed here back then. Although there is no auction now and monks from the inner sea rarely come, and although Xu Qiuling has a cave treasure to protect her, it is still dangerous.
At least, Xu Qiuling's body was still sick and it was not suitable to catch the cold.
Being criticized by Ning Fan, Xu Qiuling smiled instead of being angry, because only lonely people understand that having someone to blame is actually a kind of happiness. To blame is to care.
"I'm sorry... I was a bit reckless, but I believed you would come to me!"
Xu Qiuling smoothed her hair, raised her face, and smiled like an orchid.
"Of course I will come to you!" Ning Fan laughed angrily. This Xu Qiuling is really a troublesome woman, second only to Yin Suqiu... No, maybe to a certain extent, she can tie with Yin Suqiu.
"Do you know the origin of that poem..." Xu Qiuling suddenly changed the topic and urged the boat to speed in a certain direction.
"Which sentence? When I met you, you read a lot of poems."
"Poor young master Bu Si Fan! You know, this is how I felt when I first met you... Pity, well, just pity, not the admiration you imagined... You are too stubborn. You are obviously not strong in cultivation, but you want to be with me. Then Zhao Zijing fights just for an orchid, is it worth it..."
Xu Qiuling seemed to recall that dream, as if she wanted to ask the butterfly for that orchid grass, butterfly, is it worth it for you to fly up into the sky with all your strength...
Lancao has never asked this question, but Lancao believes that there must be a reason for the butterfly to fly to the sky persistently, which is more important than death...
"I don't ask about your past, because there is no me in your past..." Xu Qiuling pointed forward indifferently and suddenly laughed,
"I will take you to a place. It was the place where I first slipped out of Huanmo Island. Master took me there. It was a country of mortals. Master used this boat to take me to see mortals. life...At that time, I knew that I was not the most miserable person in the world..."
"My constitution is too weak to break through the Nascent Soul. My life span is too short and I will die in ten years. But even so, I have lived for hundreds of years, right...Those mortals have suffered from wars, plagues, and natural disasters all their lives. torture. But they still live tenaciously, even if they are hungry or not full, even if they have a bad fate, they still struggle to live..."
"At that time, I understood. You can't choose your own destiny during your lifetime, but you can choose your own attitude. No matter how hard life is, you can live with a smile... If in your life, you happen to encounter something like this before you die, The last person I fell in love with was against the world, so what should I do..."
Xu Qiuling's eyes were full of affection. Looking at Ning Fan, "As long as you dare, I dare!"
"Is it…"
Ning Fan looked at Xu Qiuling with great pity and didn't know what to say.
He no longer even wanted to blame her for leaving the island privately.
If Xu Qiuling hadn't met him, maybe in this life. She will die alone in her glen.
"Where do you want to go? I will take you there, but you have to promise me that after you go there, you will go home with me and receive treatment with peace of mind."
"No, let's treat it in the mortal realm, okay? I like the atmosphere there."
"There are many people there, and if someone is up to no good..."
"With the strength of Demon Lord Zhou, you are still unable to protect a weak woman like me from a bunch of mortals." A cunning and mischievous look flashed in Xu Qiuling's eyes.
"...I am not as powerful as you think. But if this is your wish, I will try my best to protect you."
Ning Fan shook his head. For some reason, today, he instinctively did not want to refuse any request from Xu Qiuling.
It's like I owed her or hurt her in my previous life...
There was a trace of happiness in Xu Qiuling's eyes. This was the only time in her life that she would be willful. She just wanted to see if that person would tolerate her willfulness.
But just as the happy look rose, his face was immediately covered by a look of shame.
But Ning Fan suddenly grabbed Xu Qiuling's waist, hugged her horizontally, stepped on the boat, tiptoed, and the boat immediately turned into an aurora and flew back to Xu Qiuling's storage bag.
"Why, why did you..."
It was the first time that a man hugged her in such an ambiguous way. No matter how indifferent Xu Qiuling was, she would still be shocked.
"Your boat is too slow!" A trace of pride flashed in Ning Fan's eyes. A pair of huge purple-black demon wings did not come out from behind. When they flapped, the waves surged into the sky. Their wings were like clouds hanging from the sky. It’s ninety thousand miles!
"There is such a fast speed in the world!"
Xu Qiuling was stunned.
The painting boat given to her by Dongxu focused on the two magical powers of concealment and cave-heaven, but its speed was not very fast. It was only equivalent to the ordinary Nascent Soul's escape speed.
No one has ever taken Xu Qiuling to escape. Except for a few times when she left the island, she has been imprisoned on Huanmo Island for almost her entire life.
This was the first time that a man flew with her in his arms.
This man's escape speed can reach 90,000 miles at a time. In this entire endless sea, in terms of escape speed, he can be ranked number one under Refining the Void!
Xu Qiuling lay in Ning Fan's arms, hugging Ning Fan's neck, looking at his face, and gradually became obsessed with it.
In a trance, she saw a butterfly. A butterfly that had never looked at her in her previous life hugged her tightly in this life.
"Speaking of which, where exactly do you want to go? Is there a mortal country in the Endless Sea?"
"Yes, to be precise, it is a semi-mortal capital. It is a small country on an island in the North Sea. This country was first established by some Yuanying old monsters in order to understand the life of mortals and 'transform mortals' and 'kill mortals' Prepare... In other words, these mortals were actually captured on this island many generations ago by their ancestors. They were never told that there were other countries in the world, nor were they told that there were monks in the world. Any monk who enters this island will be trapped here. Infected by the mortal atmosphere, he put away his magic power and lived incognito, of course..."
Xu Qiuling was mid-sentence when she suddenly sighed,
"Of course, there will also be a few monks who see mortals as weak and easy to bully, and come here to kill people, or come here to avoid revenge. Such people will be secretly destroyed by several great monks hiding on the mortal island... They are responsible for the security of this country. Guardians, legend has it that they were mortals on this island several generations ago, so they wanted to protect this country.”
Ning Fan's eyes lit up, and he never expected that someone would deliberately create a paradise in this tomb covered with blood.
Perhaps there are many monks living in seclusion here, who are tired of cultivating the blood sea and end their lives here. Maybe someone just passes by this place and leaves after gaining enough insights.
Suddenly, Ning Fan seemed to understand something and looked at Xu Qiuling in his arms with a grateful expression.
"Thanks."
"Thank you for what?" Xu Qiuling winked playfully.
"Thank you for your words, poor young master Bu Sifan..."
Ning Fan sighed a little, this Xu Qiuling was not willful, she was obviously too tired after twenty years of killing, and was afraid that she would become a demon, so she took him to see some past events in the mortal world to calm down her demonic mind.
This Xu Qiuling obviously cares about her, but she doesn't say it or take credit, she just pays silently.
If you don't pay attention, you may miss it, and you will never know that she has given everything for you.
Looking at Xu Qiuling, Ning Fan suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her somewhere.
Where is it…
With Ning Fan's speed and Xu Qiuling's guidance, he quickly arrived at a calm sea area.
Just stepping into this sea area, Ning Fan felt an unusual aura. There was no spiritual energy in the air here, making it impossible to practice at all!
This world without spiritual power was of course created by some monks using formations to simulate the mortal world.
Ning Fan stopped his escaping light and leaned over to take a look. There were many sea boats docked below.
There are more than ten sea boats in total, and there is a boatman on each sea boat. These boatmen are inconspicuous at first glance, but each of them faintly reveals the aura of Nascent Soul.
As soon as they saw Ning Fan coming, more than ten fishermen stood up and looked at Ning Fan with evil eyes.
"Stop comers! This is the place where cultivators from the Endless Sea refine their minds and enter the mortal realm. Any cultivator who enters here without permission is not allowed to use Escape Light and expose any trace of his cultivation. Otherwise, once the mortals here are made aware of the existence of cultivators in the world, they will be disrupted. In order to live a peaceful life, you will be hunted down by five great monks!"
The reminder from these fishermen made Ning Fan startled. He looked at Xu Qiuling in his arms and shook his head.
"What should I do now? With my personality, there is never a place I can't go to. If someone blocks me, I will go in."
"Bah! We can enter the island by boat!"
Xu Qiuling was speechless.
This Ning Fan is really a practicing madman and a fighting madman! I kindly brought him to experience the life of a mortal, but he still wants to fight and kill here, causing a bloody storm. Is he an idiot?
Seemingly seeing an acquaintance, Xu Qiuling pointed in a certain direction. Immediately, Ning Fan hugged her and landed on one of the sea boats.
The boatman on the boat was a middle-aged man in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, smoking a dry pipe.
When he saw Xu Qiuling and Ning Fan arriving, he first showed a warning look, and his body's instinct told him that the young man in white clothes and black cloak in front of him was very dangerous!
Just when he saw Xu Qiuling, the middle-aged man seemed to recognize who he was and was confused.
"Who are you…"
"Uncle Wang! It's me, I'm Qiu Ling!"
Xu Qiuling jumped off Ning Fan's arms and gave a faint smile. Her elegant smile immediately made the simple middle-aged man feel embarrassed, and he didn't know how to let go of his arms and legs.
"Qiu Ling, it's you, you've grown so big! Ahem, you've become a big girl, you have a husband-in-law, and your fourth uncle doesn't dare to recognize you anymore."
"Of course I will grow up. Do you know how long it has been since I last came to Gusu? It's been hundreds of years!"
"Oh, it's been so long... Haha, Fourth Uncle, I'm used to living a mortal life. I don't keep track of years. I don't remember years."
The fourth uncle put down his cigarette bag and looked at Ning Fan carefully. At this moment, he felt like looking at his niece and son-in-law, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became.
"Yes, Qiu Ling's vision is very good. He is a talented person... Why, this time he came here in time for the Chinese Valentine's Day to marry his lover?"
"Getting married?" Xu Qiuling's eyes flashed, she turned her head, looked at Ning Fan as if seeking confirmation, and asked softly, "Should we give it a try?"
"casual…"
Ning Fan had an indifferent tone, but his eyes were still on alert, secretly paying attention to a dozen Nascent Soul masters.
Once someone does anything to Xu Qiuling, he only needs half a breath to kill everyone.
This is an instinct honed in the sea of blood.
Seeing Ning Fan being so cautious, Xu Qiuling sighed softly.
It's difficult for Ning Fan to completely relax... Anyway, even if it's just a trip with him, it would be great.
(Third update)
p:
All the foreshadowing about butterflies has come out. This big hole needs to be filled in first!
