Chapter 44 Chapter 44 "Yao Ning, she is the master of destruction...
Yao Ning got up and left the room, circled the fairy boat twice, but Shang Linran and Adu were nowhere to be seen, and one could hear a pin drop in the cabin.
The deck was still crowded. The monks from various sects looked a little unnatural when they saw her. Some of them came forward to talk to her, and their words were quite respectful.
When Yao Ning heard the word "Princess" from the other party, it took her a long time to realize that it was herself.
Some people invited her to the immortal sect gathering, some expressed their desire to make friends with her, and some talked about metaphysics and Taoism with her.
Yao Ning didn't care about his so-called identity.
But these people were willing to see her because of her identity.
With the title of princess, and with the support of Wang Mianzhi, Shang Linran, and the Tianshu faction, her every word seemed to have weight and influence.
Yao Ning seemed to vaguely feel something called "power".
She found that she was not repulsive.
After spending half a day like this, she began to show signs of fatigue, and someone considerately suggested that she go back to the cabin to rest first.
Yao Ning readily accepted the advice and said goodbye to everyone.
"The princess is so kind."
"Being born into a noble family means one is different from others in terms of elegance and cultivation."
"Your fate is pure and noble, and you are born with the demeanor of a superior."
…
Amidst the praises that gave her goosebumps, Miss Liu huddled in a corner, feeling hopeless.
Yao Ning glanced at her.
Miss Liu shuddered, a flash of fear crossed her face, and she quickly forced a smile and opened her mouth to say something.
However, Yao Ning had already withdrawn his gaze and turned away.
Miss Liu's face was pale, and she stared at her back in a daze.
Yao Ning walked through the aisle and came to the stern.
The stern of the boat was not big, but very quiet. She leaned against the side of the boat, silently watching the wind and clouds drifting outside the boat.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a familiar voice came to my ears.
"If someone thinks of me this way, I'd be willing to die! Daojun Zixiao is truly blessed."
The person who came had a beautiful face, and a small green snake was wrapped around her cold white neck. The little snake opened its eyes, looked at Yao Ning, and then closed them lazily.
Snake Jiang was smiling, his facial features were lively and natural, it seemed that his soul was in his body.
When they first met, he moved his soul into a snake body, but Chen Qian crushed the snake's core, and at the critical moment, he transferred his soul into a human body. It seems that it has been like this ever since.
"Young Master Shejiang, it seems that your power has not weakened. In this case, I don't need to apologize on behalf of Chen Qian."
"No, no, no, how can I ask you to apologize." Shejiang smiled brightly and said meaningfully, "I was too talkative that day and I deserved it. But - after not seeing each other for more than a month, the fairy and Shen Xianjun are more affectionate. It seems that I have no chance at all because of my tossing and turning for the fairy. It's really -"
"It makes me sad."
The voice was gentle and affectionate, as if she was really heartbroken.
Yao Ning smiled it off, and seeing his radiant face, he said, "On this trip to the Demon Realm, the Southern Territory Snake Cave was willing to let the young master go."
She Jiang sat down on the side and said with a smile: "How can I say this? A great sect like Xuan Qing Sect, where Immortal Master Shen is unrivaled in the Nine Continents, is willing to let you come. What is there for me, a mere rat, to be reluctant about?"
Seeing that Yao Ning was not provoked, he curled his lips regretfully and blinked: "Actually, I am no longer the young master."
"Why?"
Could it be that Chen Qian seriously injured him that day, causing Shejiang to fall from the position of young master?
"I killed the old man." Shejiang placed his hands on the side of the boat, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, his pupils flashing with the cold light of a cold-blooded animal in the sunlight. "Now, in the Southern Territory Snake Cave, I have the final say."
Yao Ning was slightly surprised: "If that's the case, then you are the Sect Master."
The snake descended and bowed: "Very well, very well, Fairy, just call me by my name."
"I wonder how the Sect Master did it?"
When he first met Snake Jiang, he was only at the middle stage of the Out-of-Body Realm. Later, his snake pill was crushed by Chen Qian. Although his spirit and soul were unaffected, he was likely to fall in realm. However, this man survived and became the leader of a sect. Could it be that it was not due to his cultivation?
As if knowing what Yao Ning was thinking, She Jiang laughed and said, "As the saying goes, strength can defeat skill. To fight for a high position, planning and strategizing are indispensable, but in the end, it all comes down to hard skills.
"I offended Immortal Master Shen and was seriously injured and fell into a lower realm. It was originally a dead end—
"But when I saw you defeat the strong with your weakness that day, turning the tide, I was deeply moved and gained a lot. As the saying goes, the truth is born in the heart, and enlightenment is as clear as a mirror. This enlightenment is enough to offset ten years of hard training for me."
He bowed.
Yao Ning said: "It's your intelligence and sensitivity, it has nothing to do with me."
Shejiang smiled and praised her for being modest.
After the two exchanged a few words, Yao Ning was about to leave, but was stopped by She Jiang.
His bright smile faded, and he finally exuded the dignity of a sect leader.
"The fairy said that there has been peace between good and evil for decades, but now the conflict has suddenly broken out. Is the Demon Lord impatient?"
Yao Ning glanced at him: "It's hard to say."
Shejiang smiled and said, "The fairy must have her own plans. In my opinion, there is a third person stirring up trouble here."
Yao Ning had thought about this possibility.
This trip to the Demon Realm is to confront the Demon Lord head-on.
"Who do you think that person is, Fairy?"
Shejiang immediately ruled out other possibilities and was certain that someone was manipulating it from behind.
Yao Ning gave him a deep look and said, "The Sect Master is in a high position, so he must be able to see further. Why are you asking me?"
"Asking the fairy, of course it's because of this matter, which is related to the fairy." Snake Jiang said, "There will be a battle in the middle, and I will be there."
Yao Ning's heart moved.
"Fairy, you know I can smell something." Shejiang said slowly, "Those few demonic auras that day were not actually from the demon world."
Yao Ning glanced at him sideways.
"So was the evil energy that attacked everyone and the fairies at the Immortal Alliance Conference."
"That's been mixed up with something else."
The demonic energy is not really demonic energy. Someone used a trick to deceive the most powerful group of cultivators in Jiuzhou.
Yao Ning's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he thought of Xizhou Pavilion that day. After a moment of clarity of thought, the quiet and dim place instantly turned into a den of brothel with bright lights and the sound of music.
The snake stared at her with its light-colored pupils, its petal-like lips opening and closing: "I can smell the smell of that thing on the fairy too."
*
In the back alley of Xizhouguan, the waiter looked at the man in front of him and shuddered.
He lowered his head, his eyes rolled around a few times, and an idea came to his mind.
"If I tell you a little bit about Xizhou Pavilion, will you forgive me?"
The hostility of this immortal king faded away, and it turned out that he had a good appearance. Although he looked a little unapproachable, his eyebrows and eyes were bright, and he did not look like a villain who would go back on his word.
Chen Qian said, "Of course."
He added, "My wife is worried about my safety, so I won't fight you."
Young waiter: “…”
Do you think what you say sounds like human language?
You can crush me to death with just one finger!
And I didn’t ask your wife!
The waiter suppressed the roar in his heart, thought for a moment, and said very cautiously: "In fact, the ones that Boss Chen took in were all dead waiters like me.
"Originally from the Peach Blossom Temple in the Demon Realm, due to the tyranny of the Dead Silkworm Demon Lord, he demanded that all people in the Demon Realm refrain from harming the human world. We, the low-level Hehuan cultivators, will become increasingly weak if we cannot obtain nourishment from it.
"The Sect Master doesn't keep useless people. The strong prey on the weak. We can't stay in the Demon Realm anymore, so we have no choice but to drift to the human world.
“Even though we came to the human world, we are afraid of the Demon Lord and dare not take essences at will.
"Boss Chen's cultivation is mediocre, and he only knows some magic to deceive the eyes. He is willing to take us in and let us gather energy in Xizhou Pavilion so that we can save our lives."
The young waiter looked at Chen Qian's expression and added hastily, "The people Xizhou Pavilion receives are all prostitutes from the human world. They are not good people to begin with. And Boss Chen knows how to handle it. He won't let the young waiters drain the pond to catch all the fish. Those men won't lose their lives. Even those who are most deeply trapped will only lose their life span at most."
Chen Qian listened quietly without making any comment.
The waiter swallowed and looked at him nervously, "That's all I know. Please fulfill your promise, Immortal Lord, and show mercy."
"So, Boss Chen is actually a good person." Shen Qian asked.
The waiter glanced at Chen Qian and said, "I don't know what the feud between the Immortal Venerable and Boss Chen is, but as for my life as a mayfly, Boss Chen is like my second parent."
Chen Qian glanced at the young waiter in surprise.
He showed a hint of guilt on his face and seemed a little hesitant.
The waiter asked again, "Can I go now?"
Shen Qian nodded.
"Thank you very much, thank you Immortal Lord for not killing me."
He breathed a sigh of relief and walked out quickly, as if there was a flood or a beast behind him.
Just as he reached the entrance of the alley, he suddenly stopped, his whole body stiffened in place, and his eyes suddenly became blank.
Shen Qian's consciousness invaded his sea of consciousness and he sighed, "I'm sorry, the battle between good and evil concerns the lives of millions of people. If there is anything wrong with Boss Chen, I must find out."
He held the boy's shoulders with his hands: "I won't hurt you, don't worry."
Shen Qian quickly looked through the young man's memory.
What he just said was actually true.
In the waiter's memory, Boss Chen was a somewhat mercenary businessman. His cultivation was neither high nor low, but his heart was not bad.
And Du Wuzhu seemed to have been the top star there since he entered Xizhou Pavilion.
The young waiter was a low-level cultivator in Taohua An and had never seen the sect leader, so when he saw the top performer, he didn't know that this was the sect leader.
Chen Qian carefully distinguished it from the young man's memory.
Half a moment later, he was finally able to confirm that the top performer was not always Du Wuzhu, that is to say, for a long time, the top performer was the top performer, and he was an independent, ordinary ghost waiter.
What he saw that day was the person who contained the soul or will of the Taohua An Sect Master. At that time, the top star seemed to have become a shell, and Du Wuzhu descended into this shell.
Therefore, it is very likely that Boss Chen really has no connection with the demon world.
He was running a daring business and making more money than an ordinary businessman could make in several lifetimes.
However, he was accidentally involved in a dispute and took the blame for the person behind the scenes.
Who is behind the scenes?
The top performer is a cultivator from Taohua An. Du Wuzhu has his own way of controlling them, so it is not difficult to borrow their bodies.
But what Chen Qian was more concerned about at this time was why Du Wuzhu arrived in Xizhou Pavilion at that time.
Why then?
Did anything unusual happen in Kyushu at that time? Was there anything significant about that moment?
Or is it because——
Did Yao Ning appear at that time?
Chen Qian thought of Du Wuzhu's intimate action on the roof, and a strong anger and jealousy rose in his heart again.
That person is thinking about Yao Ning.
Shen Qian confirmed this.
He calmed himself down and continued to explore at a rapid pace.
there is none left.
This is all the valuable information this person knows.
He controlled the intensity of his spiritual sense, carefully avoiding hurting the young waiter, but this consumed a great deal of his own energy.
A drop of sweat slid down his forehead, and Chen Qian decided to quit.
At this moment, a picture flashed by.
Shen Qian paused and looked at the scene.
The dim and dilapidated room was crowded with people, all of whom were the ghosts of the young waiters from Xizhou Pavilion.
The light fell on the window paper, illuminating a swaying silhouette.
There were noisy screams coming from not far away, as if they were separated by several layers of water curtains.
After an unknown amount of time, a trembling, old voice seemed to explode in my ears: "Is anyone there? Old lady, I'm coming in."
The young men were startled and almost lost their souls to the sky because of this shout.
But no one dared to speak.
Not long ago, Boss Chen told them not to make any noise no matter what they heard.
The tapping sound of the cane gradually faded away, and the old woman's mumbling voice became unclear.
"Never mind! Hide!"
"I am an old woman, huh, I must hide well, hide well..."
Gradually the sound disappeared, and before we knew it, it was so quiet that we could only hear each other's breathing.
"Da, da, da."
When the slight footsteps were heard, many young men had already relaxed a little, and some even couldn't resist the sleepiness and dozed off while standing.
The footsteps were not abrupt at all, but so familiar that it seemed as if they were heard every day.
So when the shadow stood outside the door, many people were still unaware.
The young waiter was in the crowd and slowly felt the fear.
He looked forward.
Boss Chen's body shook twice and his hands clenched into fists.
The silhouette was so beautiful that people could not wait to see its face and hear its voice just by looking at its shadow.
A pleasant voice, neither male nor female, fell into his ears through the paper lattice door.
"Do you think you're hiding well?"
The voice sighed softly, filled with endless compassion.
"This is an unprecedented legacy, a blessing for generations to come. Little baby, why don't you understand?"
"That woman, her name is Yao Ning, right?"
In the young man's sea of consciousness, Shen Qian's consciousness suddenly became alert. He stared at the picture, carefully tracing the silhouette, wanting to engrave everything in his mind.
Silence, endless silence. No one made a sound inside or outside the picture.
Chen Qian restrained his impulse, lying dormant quietly, waiting for the scene to continue.
After a while, the person outside the door continued, "You saw it, didn't you? She is the savior?"
In the dim room, Boss Chen looked panic-stricken.
They were like playing hide-and-seek. They couldn't make any noise or move around until someone outside noticed them.
The young waiter didn't understand anything and just felt instinctively afraid.
He thought that Boss Chen would not say anything.
Boss Chen is smart and clever. Maybe the weirdo outside the door is just trying to trick them.
Maybe they did hide well.
But he saw Boss Chen move.
He opened his eyes wide and saw the figure in front of him. He nodded heavily at the shadow outside the door.
The voice that was neither male nor female, and it was difficult to tell whether it was male or female, sounded again.
"But you're wrong this time."
"If there is destined to be a world of devastation, then she—Yao Ning—is the one who will cause the destruction, the king I will follow."
