Chapter 110 A Cai
"Your cultivation is clearly sufficient, so why can't you survive the thunder tribulation?"
After hearing Feng Tianning's question, Long Da fell silent.
It didn't dare to say it, for fear that Feng Tianning would leave them no chance of survival after knowing the reason.
Seeing it hesitate to speak, Feng Tianning also knew that there was something behind this matter, and said seriously:
"I saved you, so your lives are naturally mine."
"If I tell you the reason now, maybe I can continue my cultivation and have a chance to ascend to immortality in the future."
Long Da gave a bitter laugh, knowing that Feng Tianning was trying to comfort him. He hesitated for a moment and then said:
“It’s because of our inner demons.”
"Inner demon?" Feng Tianning raised her eyebrows. She had only heard that mortals had inner demons, but could monsters also have them?
Long Da nodded, his lightbulb-like eyes showing a hint of vicissitudes.
Feng Tianning suddenly felt that it would be more appropriate to pair it with a bottle of wine.
"We brothers share a common inner demon. When we were going through the thunder tribulation, we were trapped by it and couldn't make it through."
"What inner demon?"
Feng Tianning was also a little curious. What could make several dragons that had been practicing for thousands of years so scared?
As if sensing her doubts, Long Da raised his eyes to the sky and said:
"I believe the Immortal Master knows that we were targeted by the special case team because we sneaked into the girls' dormitory and were eventually driven to Changbai Mountain."
Feng Tianning became more and more curious. Could it be that they fell in love with that female student, and this girl became their inner demon?
She had already imagined a huge emotional drama in her mind, until Long Da's voice rang out and brought her back to reality.
"The girl's name is Acai. She lives at the foot of Changbai Mountain."
"She followed her father into the mountains to collect herbs since she was little. When she was seven, she was targeted by a spider spirit who wanted to absorb her energy for cultivation."
"My brothers and I happened to pass by and rescued her. That's when we learned that Ah Cai was born on a yin year, yin month, and yin hour. If someone eats her, their cultivation level will improve dramatically."
Feng Tianning nodded. She had also heard of this kind of person, and it was indeed very helpful for cultivation.
"Are you interested in her?"
Long Da was a little annoyed. Do they have no bottom line in the Immortal's mind?
They have been practicing for thousands of years, and ascension is just the last step. How could they possibly have such dirty thoughts?
"We thought Ah Cai would be afraid of us like everyone else, but she wasn't afraid at all and actually treated us as friends."
"Until I went to college, she would sneak into the mountains every day and bring us all kinds of novel gadgets and earthly delicacies."
"We brothers could have attracted the thunder tribulation a long time ago, but we already treated Ah Cai as our own child, and we were worried about her, so we held off ascending."
“We were about to leave after watching her go off to college, but then we received her call for help.”
Feng Tianning frowned, and suddenly had a bad feeling about what Long Da would say next.
"She's been targeted by other monsters and evil spirits?"
Long Da shook his head and said:
"We gave her a talisman before she left, and no spirit dared to approach her."
It laughed bitterly:
"The human heart is much scarier than demons and evil spirits. The amulet we gave her became her death warrant."
"Why?"
"The amulet we gave her was a piece of my dragon scale, but someone knowledgeable in her school discovered the secret of this dragon scale."
"They recognized it as a valuable item to ward off evil spirits, so they wanted to take it away."
"When they saw that money wasn't enough, they dragged Ah Cai to the woods and hung her up."
Long Da's eyes were red and his voice was choked:
"This silly girl would rather die than hand over the dragon scale. We only realized something was wrong when those people took it by force."
"When we found her, she had been hanging for a whole day and night. I don't know how many times she had been whipped. Even her clothes were gone."
As soon as Long Dayi closed his eyes, he saw Acai dying with her eyes open. He was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
"We brothers are furious and eager to avenge her immediately, but we can't attack a mortal directly."
"In the dead of night, we secretly watched the surveillance video and saw who killed her."
"That person is her roommate. On the surface, they have a good relationship, but secretly he is trying to get someone to harm her in order to obtain the dragon scale."
"We originally wanted to use all our life's merits and cultivation to quietly put an end to her, but the family behind her is one we can't afford to offend."
"Not only did we fail to take revenge, but we also led out the elders behind her and forced out the prototype of our brothers, which is why the special case team was brought in."
Feng Tianning frowned at this moment. Family? Could it be another ancient martial arts family?
"They exaggerated our evil deeds and told the special case team about them. The team didn't ask any further questions and directly drove us to Changbai Mountain. They also beat our brother Long Si to death."
Feng Tianning was silent now. He didn't expect that their special case team was responsible for such a ridiculous thing.
At that time, she listened to Captain Liu's words and thought that Long Da and the others had disrupted the order of the mortal world, so she took action to drive them away.
"You guys never left Changbai Mountain again?"
Long Da nodded. They came to Kyoto not only to successfully pass the tribulation, but also to see Acai again.
