Early the next morning, Jian Wushuang had just opened the door and saw Xiaoxue appearing at the door.
She was carrying a basin of water with warm hot water and towels in it, which should have been prepared for herself. When Jian Wushuang opened the door, she suddenly said happily: "Master, wipe your face quickly."
"Xiaoxue, what are you doing?"
Jian Wushuang looked at Xiaoxue, then looked outside, and found that the outside of the hall had been cleaned cleanly.
Did this little guy not have any rest all night?
"Well, Xiaoxue is very capable. She can do anything, including washing, cooking, folding quilts, and cleaning. I just ask Master not to dislike Xiaoxue."
After Xiaoxue said this obediently, she put the towel in the wooden bucket aside and dipped it in hot water, then picked it up and handed it to Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his hand to ruffle Xiaoxue's soft long hair and cursed with a smile: "You! Don't be too tired, you know? You are still young."
"But, apart from doing these, I can't do anything else. I'm afraid Master will think I'm useless." Xiaoxue said in a low voice.
"How could it be? Xiaoxue, you are so obedient and sensible, how could it be useless? Don't worry, Master will not dislike you."
Looking at the fine sweat on Xiaoxue's forehead, Jian Wushuang said again: "Master should wipe it off for Xiaoxue."
Jian Wushuang smiled and took the warm towel, wiping Xiaoxue's pretty face.
Xiaoxue obediently closed her eyes and asked her master to wipe her face, feeling warm in her heart.
Yesterday she was starving and freezing in the cold wind, and the wounds on her body were still bleeding, but today she felt happier and safer than ever before.
How she wished that the first moment she woke up every day, she could see Master in front of her.
After wiping and wiping, Jian Wushuang suddenly stopped and his eyes stayed on Xiaoxue's forehead.
On Xiaoxue's smooth forehead, there is a faint white snow lotus mark. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it clearly.
Looking at the snow lotus mark, Jian Wushuang frowned and murmured to himself: "Strange, why do I have a familiar feeling?"
If it was just a mark, he wouldn't think anything of it. There are so many people with birthmarks in this world.
However, the white snowdrop has a very extraordinary meaning thousands of years later.
Snow lotus, mortal body, eight years old...
Things that were not related at first were all connected at this moment, pointing to an astonishing clue.
Jian Wushuang, as for Jian Wushuang, froze after thinking of that possibility.
Xiaoxue's identity, I'm afraid, is far from being as simple as he thought!
Thousands of years later, for the entire human race, there is an unparalleled enemy, so powerful that it is unimaginable!
Even if the Ruthless Empress took action, she could not defeat her opponent and was even injured many times.
That is, the Demon Clan’s Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor!
It can be said that the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor is the lifelong rival of the Ruthless Empress!
And on the forehead of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor, there is a snow lotus!
The world's legend about the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor is that she was just a mortal at first, but with her own perseverance, she created the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique and spent thousands of years devouring the heavens and worlds, step by step becoming the Demon Emperor!
When Jian Wushuang thought of that legend, a terrifying thought vaguely emerged deep in his heart.
The Demon Empress, who will frighten all the heavens in the future, is right in front of him at this moment!
He couldn't imagine what a huge wave it would cause if this speculation was true.
Once the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor appears, it will sweep across the entire starry sky. What a terrifying existence it is!
"Master, what are you thinking about?"
At this moment, Xiaoxue's soft and waxy voice came to his ears, which brought Jian Wushuang back to his senses.
He looked at Xiaoxue's eyes, those eyes were so bright, so pure, so spotless.
How could such a little girl be the future Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor?
"Xiaoxue, why do you want to practice?" Jian Wushuang pondered for a while and then suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Xiaoxue tilted her head, thought for a while, and said seriously: "Go back to Master, because as long as you practice and become an immortal, you won't be hungry and cold, and no one will bully Xiaoxue, let alone Let’s grab Xiaoxue’s things.”
Her young face was full of desire, and there was a hint of stubbornness and strength in her eyes.
Although it was just a short sentence, Jian Wushuang could also hear how much suffering Xiaoxue had suffered behind her back.
How many times have you been hungry? How many times have you been frozen? How many times have you been bullied? What made you the character you are today?
She didn't say any of this, or didn't want to say it, and didn't want to mention those memories.
In fact, Jian Wushuang has already thought about how Xiaoxue will become the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor in the future.
After being rejected by the three holy places, where should she go?
How much pain will she have to endure in the days to come?
The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor has frightened countless human geniuses, fearing that they would target their own bodies and devour them.
But, what kind of changes will happen in the future that will turn the innocent Xiaoxue into the demon empress?
Jian Wushuang took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and continued to wipe Xiaoxue's face.
He no longer cares whether Xiaoxue is the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor, because the future has changed since he accepted her as his disciple.
Now that Xiaoxue is his apprentice, he doesn't want Xiaoxue to grow into the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor, and he doesn't want her to endure so many hardships.
Looking at the peach blossom on Xiaoxue's hair last night, Jian Wushuang smiled.
Does it matter what Xiaoxue's future identity will be?
All he needs is for her to be happy in the future, that's all.
"Xiaoxue, wait a minute, my teacher will teach you how to practice, okay?"
Jian Wushuang said softly, stroking Xiaoxue's hair and saying lovingly.
"Okay, Xiaoxue can finally learn to practice with Master!" Xiaoxue said excitedly.
After teaching Xiaoxue how to practice and giving her a lot of training resources and foundation-building spirit liquid, Jian Wushuang came to the back mountain of Peach Blossom Valley.
At this moment, Hongchen Jie had his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for Jian Wushuang's arrival.
"Master, the disciple is here."
Jian Wushuang walked to Hongchen Jie's side, bowed and saluted.
"Um."
Hongchen Jie nodded, turned to look at Jian Wushuang, showing a hint of relief, and said: "Wushuang, during the past few years of being in seclusion as a master, your strength has grown very fast."
"As a teacher, you still need to retreat for a period of time until you are completely sanctified. I will give you these things to make good use of."
Hongchen Jie took out a space ring, handed it to Jian Wushuang, and said: "The cultivation resources inside are enough for you to use for a long time. You must work hard to get into the golden elixir as soon as possible."
"I should be in seclusion for about ten years. By then, if you haven't achieved the golden elixir, don't say that you are my disciple."
Listening to Hongchen Jie's instructions, Jian Wushuang said respectfully: "Disciple will obey Master's instructions and will work hard to attack the golden elixir."
After taking the space ring and scanning his spiritual sense, Jian Wushuang saw many precious treasures, including the Nine Nether Divine Armor.
How much should a Holy Lord accumulate over a hundred years?
"Wushuang, today, I will teach you the last lesson." Hongchen Jie said with a smile.
"Master, please give me some advice!" Jian Wushuang said solemnly.
"Do you know what the way to domination is?"
