"What, do you want to be free?" Seeing the change in his expression, Yinyue instantly guessed what the other person was thinking.
"Don't you want to?" Xiao Qi asked directly.
"It's different." Yinyue smiled and continued,
"I am only temporarily staying with him. In the future, I will leave directly from the flying spirit world and gain a free body. But you are different. As his spiritual pet and knowing so many of his secrets, you will never be able to leave in this life. His control.”
"It's a spiritual beast, not a spiritual pet!" Xiao Qi immediately retorted loudly and said angrily,
"That guy was simply taking advantage of others' danger. If I hadn't been seriously injured at that time, how could I have fallen into his hands."
"So, you hate him?" Silver Moon's bright eyes flashed.
"You don't need to tempt me. No matter what, I will never repay kindness with hatred." Xiao Qi still couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's words. He snorted coldly and continued,
"In the past, I was plotted against me and my life was in danger. If he hadn't come to save me, I would have been dead long ago. How could I have recovered one day? Even in order to refine the soul-restoring pill, he worked hard to find a way to nourish the soul for ten thousand years. Soul wood, and collecting a large number of rare resources, etc., of course I can’t forget these kindnesses one after another.”
"In that case, what are you still struggling with?" Yinyue looked slightly surprised.
"I was simply unhappy. I practiced well in the cave and never provoked anyone. However, an inexplicable disaster fell from the sky. I was seriously injured and on the verge of death. When I woke up again, I had become someone else's spiritual beast. Are you happy?" Xiao Qi sighed helplessly, with a look of depression in his eyes.
She also knew in her heart that the root cause of all this was still to blame that stupid monkey, which was responsible for all the troubles. What's annoying is that the relationship between the two parties is very close, and the other party does it unintentionally, which makes her hateful.
I also have to blame myself for not living up to expectations. As a great demon in the transformation stage, facing human monks of the same level, not to mention winning, at least not losing, right?
In fights of the same level in the cultivation world, monsters always have the upper hand. Fortunately for her, she was defeated in just a few rounds, and her defeat was so complete that she almost lost her soul.
It's so useless, it really embarrasses the fellow demon clan members. Of course, it was also the fault of the human monk who was too cunning, preventing her from being able to exert even 30% of her 100% strength.
Ah, yeah, the more I think about it, the angrier I get! My head is going to explode!
I simply didn't bother to think about it anymore, I bent my limbs in frustration and lay on the ground.
"Uh! What are you..." The other party's sudden look of being 'loveless' made Yin Yue's face full of astonishment. You are a great demon in the transformation stage, so you can't be so fragile inside, right? Is it possible that the recovery of the damage to the soul was unsuccessful, leaving sequelae?
"It's nothing, I just thought about it too many times and accepted my fate." Xiao Qi shook her head. Life and death depended on Mo Juren's thoughts. She had no choice but to resist. She could only accept the reality. Besides, that guy was nice to her, and his cultivation aptitude was incredible, so following him might not be a bad idea.
After she transformed in the past, she had been living in seclusion in the Forbidden Sea and practicing hard. After a long period of time, she could no longer survive, which also made her distressed for a long time.
"You don't have to be so depressed. It might be an opportunity to meet Mo Juren in the past and become his spiritual beast." Yinyue straightened her expression and continued,
"You are of the Ice Deer clan, and your blood level is not high. It is only due to mutation or atavism that you have evolved into a seven-color spiritual deer, so that you can successfully transform. However, if you want to continue to evolve and improve, it will become more and more difficult. , it’s really insignificant on your own.”
"I know all this." Xiao Qi nodded slightly, agreeing with the other party's statement.
"It's good that you can figure it out. Anyway, don't miss such a good opportunity." Both are from the demon clan. Yinyue hopes that the other party can grow up. She reminded her earnestly and then changed the subject.
"By the way, how are you recovering from your injuries? Can you transform?"
"It was basically fine a few years ago, but there are still some subtle stagnations that need to be slowly rested. As for the transformation, you can do it at any time, I just didn't want to be exposed before." As he said that, his whole body was instantly filled with seven-color brilliance. , a figure of a young girl with picturesque features emerged.
Such a delicate and unparalleled woman, even the equally beautiful Yin Yue couldn't help but admire her from the bottom of her heart, and there was a hint of surprise that could not be concealed in her eyes.
The girl looks young. She is wearing a seven-color floral dress. She is as pure and flawless as an elf in a flower. Her crystal clear starry eyes blink slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Can you please stop looking at me like that? I feel weird." The voice is like an oriole, soft and melodious, and its tactful tone makes people feel like they are in a trance.
"If someone sees you like this, they might agree to return the natal card to you." Yin Yue teased with a slight smile.
"It would be great if he is really that easy to fool." Xiao Qi still couldn't hear the other party's teasing intention, so she couldn't help but give him a blank look.
After nearly a hundred years of getting along bit by bit, after she regained consciousness, all the memories were summarized, which also allowed her to fully understand what kind of character Mo Juren was. Reason always prevailed, allowing him to act against principles for the sake of women. The possibility is almost zero.
Besides, are there too many stunning women around that guy? Although his appearance is good, it is obviously unrealistic to say that his confidante must be better than him. At best, they all have their own characteristics.
Not talking about others, just talking about the silver moon in front of me, whose appearance and temperament are no longer inferior to mine, but what is the result? Wasn't it because he didn't have the slightest trust from that person, and it didn't make a difference until he obediently became a weapon spirit?
In this regard, Xiao Qi's mind is like a clear mirror, so he will naturally not have any extravagant hopes that he shouldn't have. And even if you become the opponent's spiritual beast, it is impossible to be foolproof. You must prove your worth. Otherwise, according to the opponent's growth rate, sooner or later you will be 'abandoned' in the future.
The abandonment here is not to give her freedom, but to be raised as a real pet like the two blood jade spiders. In that case, he would really become a spiritual pet, which would be more uncomfortable than death.
"What do you seem to be worried about?" Yinyue couldn't hide the change in the other person's expression, and she couldn't help but be curious.
"Not really. It's just that since I've been 'exposed', I can't pretend anymore. I'm a little confused about how to get along with each other and how to deal with myself in the future..." Xiao Qi didn't hide it, and then told some of his Thoughts spoken.
Yinyue couldn't help but be a little surprised. This girl looked weak and innocent. She didn't expect to see so far away?
After thinking about it, it's normal. After all, he is still a great demon in the transformation stage. He has lived for an unknown number of years. Even though he has lived in seclusion all year round and lacks human cunning, he does not lack wisdom.
"Actually, it's not as complicated as you think. With your qualifications, as long as you practice hard in the future, you won't be able to get too far ahead of him. And based on my understanding of him, as his spiritual beast, you belong to me, as long as you If there is a need for resources, he will never be stingy if he can do his best. This can be regarded as mutual achievement. With the help of the other party's abundant resources, your strength will inevitably grow rapidly, and you can always help the other party." Yinyue analyzed briefly. After listening to it once, Xiaoqi's original entanglement instantly dissipated, and her mood suddenly became brighter.
"Thanks!"
"There's no need to be so outgoing. We have to get along with each other all the time in the future. You and I should treat each other like sisters." Yinyue smiled.
"Okay, I'll call you Sister Yinyue." The addition of an older sister made Xiao Qi, who had been accustomed to loneliness since she was a child, feel warm in her heart.
Yinyue was also very happy, but suddenly thought of something and asked again,
"More, is Xiaoqi your name? I will call you Xiaoqi sister from now on?"
"That's not true!" When Xiao Qi mentioned this, his expression suddenly froze and he explained angrily,
"My real name is Caiwei, Xiaoqi is just that guy who was lazy and messed around."
"Caiwei? What a good name." Yinyue nodded, but turned around and said,
"This name is really good and suits you very well. However, the title Xiaoqi is also not bad. It makes people feel very friendly, don't you think?"
"Yes...is there any?" Xiao Qi is not stupid, she naturally has her own judgment, but the pride in her heart makes her instinctively unconvinced because her name comes from him.
"Okay, the name is just a code name, don't worry about it so much." Yinyue probably guessed what the other person was thinking, and couldn't help laughing. Although this girl was smart, she still had a hint of naivety, which made people laugh.
With the reason that she could barely convince herself, Xiao Qi naturally stopped worrying about the matter. In fact, after being called this name for so many years, she had already gotten used to it.
…
Qiling Peak
Different from the past, there is no thick green mist around the mountain peak today. It is obvious that the Biluo Formation has been closed for a long time. In front of the three thatched houses on the peak, dozens of figures have already gathered.
These are all core-forming and Nascent Soul powerhouses, the true core of the sect, and they are far from all of them. Some are traveling abroad, including top-level monks with missions, or many families in Lingfeng Kingdom, etc., in order to Rather than leaving the rear empty and giving the enemy an opportunity to attack, most of them will not return. This was also a decision made by Patriarch Xuanyuan and Dongmen Tu very early on.
Mo Juren and Han Yunzhi flew to the ground, and several familiar figures came into view instantly, including Han Zhuo, the Chiling ancestor, and a familiar figure, it was Gu Ying who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage. .
The three of them can be regarded as a small group, including some of the younger generation at the Dan Formation stage behind them, and are indistinctly separated from other Nascent Soul stage monks. Seeing Mo Juren and Han Yunzhi, they all nodded.
The two of them nodded slightly in response, and then joined in together. They didn't speak during the whole process, they just stood there quietly and waited.
After about a moment, the simple wooden door of the thatched house slowly opened, and a figure slowly walked out.
This person was obviously Feng Ziling, the leader of the Wanling Merchant Alliance. He glanced at everyone, and then announced with a long sigh that the ancestor Xuanyuan had passed away.
As a monk, it is naturally impossible for him to cry like an ordinary person. However, this did not prevent everyone from admiring and mourning the great elder. For a moment, everyone showed a look of regret.
"How to deal with Senior Brother Feng's funeral, Junior Brother might as well give you a charter. As long as we can do our best, the sect will do its best to satisfy you." After looking at Feng Ziling, Dongmen Tu immediately promised.
"Senior brother Dongmen accepted his kindness. However, my brother did not like to be extravagant when he was alive. When he passed away, he specifically left an explanation. He must not make any fuss about his funeral. All he had to do was bring him back to the Feng family and let him return to his roots. "
"This..." Dongmen Tu was stunned when he heard what the other party said. He was naturally aware of Senior Brother Feng's hard-working and simple character, but as the eldest elder of the sect, it was a little unreasonable to have such a shabby background.
Thinking of this, he once again spoke to persuade, and other Nascent Soul stage elders behind him also expressed their opinions not to be so hasty. However, Feng Ziling's attitude was extremely firm and he always disagreed.
So, everyone doesn’t know what to do?
It is true that Patriarch Xuanyuan is the eldest elder of the sect, but he is also a member of the Feng family. Naturally, the only one who can really make the decision is the Feng family. After all, we are all outsiders after all, and we cannot do anything for others.
After trying to persuade them to no avail, everyone could only accept the reality. Feng Ziling did not waste any time. He called several members of the Feng family to enter the thatched house and walked out in a flash, holding a black gold coffin high.
"Thanks to all fellow Taoists for coming to visit, Brother Feng and the Feng family are extremely grateful." Feng Ziling clasped his fists again, and then together with several other clan members, he carried the black gold coffin and left through the air.
The courtyard suddenly became quiet, and all eyes were focused on Dongmen Tu.
As the saying goes, Taoists take tea to cool off. This is true in the secular world, and it is even more true in the more realistic world of spiritual practice. With the death of Patriarch Xuanyuan, the power structure of the sect will also undergo huge changes.
The first one to bear the brunt is the Feng family, whose original position as number one in the sect will instantly fall. Fortunately, there is still Feng Ziling, a monk in the early stage of Nascent Soul, otherwise he might have been reduced to a second-rate family.
This is the world of cultivation, where strength is the foundation and everything else is false. Even if everyone respects Ancestor Xuanyuan, it will not affect anything. The interests of the family are above all else.
It is an unchangeable fact that Dongmen Tu will become the new elder of the Yuling Sect. Correspondingly, the Dongmen family will replace the Feng family on the throne of the first family.
It involves not only the name, but also a huge and complex redistribution of interests.
The same is true for other families. Although they cannot say it clearly, they all understand it tacitly. I am afraid that for a long time to come, the sect will not be too peaceful.
This requires considering Dongmen Tu's ability. In addition to his own sufficient strength, he must also have strong skills to balance the different needs of the major families.
This is also the problem that Patriarch Xuanyuan has been worried about before. External threats are only caused by scabies. Only internal stability is the most important. This must not cause chaos and give other sects of the Demonic Path an opportunity to take advantage of.
As the successor, Dongmen Tu is definitely not bad in terms of vision and wisdom. He naturally understands the truth. As for what he will do in the future, we can only wait and see.
