Chapter 268 Chapter 268 Look, Ningning has come to the furnace...
Touch it a little lower?
Cui Jiao was so shocked by the feeling that his brain couldn't react yet - he, Cui Jiao, was a well-known candidate for the next demon king among the demon clan. Which person or demon would dare to treat him like this?
There is only this one in front of you!
So when he heard this, he subconsciously bent down again to provide convenience for the little thing on tiptoe. This time, Xiao Yan Ning quickly reached out and gently pinched the tip of his ear -
When Cui Jiao reacted, his whole fox body froze.
"It feels so smooth."
So soft.
The little cub felt it and tried to stand on tiptoe to reach the tips of Cui Jiao's fox ears - mainly because the little cub felt that touching the bottom of someone's ears was a bit too offensive, and just touching the tips of the ears seemed acceptable.
And the color is beautiful.
Listen! What kind of words are these?
Cui Jiao's body was frozen, his back was also stiff, and then he slowly straightened up a little, his expression still stiff, wishing that everything that had just happened would disappear and he could start over again -
It’s so embarrassing!!!
It’s really embarrassing!!!
"Ningning thinks foxes are pretty good."
Xiao Yanning withdrew her hand, but suddenly spoke, her clear eyes serious.
"No kidding."
Cui Jiao was stunned——
"Yan Ning."
Over there, a scattered voice came.
In the distance, a tall figure stood there without anyone noticing. His snow-white hair was pure, his purple-red eyes were bewitching, and his aura was that of a great demon from the demon race.
The monks here had also met him several times because of Yan Ning.
This man's aura was too overwhelming, and his hands were stained with so much blood that many people instinctively stayed away from him.
Only one person——
Little Yan Ning turned her head, her eyes lit up, and a big smile appeared on her cute little face. Without any hesitation, she turned around and rushed over there.
“Daddy!”
Cui Jiao stood there, still in shock.
He watched Yan Ning being picked up by Cheng Hanqiu. Cheng Hanqiu looked at him with some interest, but after just one glance, he looked away without interest and turned away, holding the little cub in his arms.
Cui Jiao stayed there for a long time.
The ear felt strangely as if it was still stuck to the tip.
Add to Xiao Yan Ning’s words - foxes are pretty good.
The fox is good, of course.
But—but—
You still haven't said which one is better, the fox or the dog!
Cui Jiao attributed his anger to this.
Behind him, when Cheng Hanqiu's pressure dissipated, a group of demons came up cautiously.
"Young Master! How is it? Did he accept the next competition?"
"Young Master will definitely prove this time that our demon race is the most powerful!"
"He just provoked you again! He even touched your fox ears! That's totally unforgivable!!... Hey? Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Cui Jiao suddenly withdrew his gaze.
"Shut up, everyone, and get out of here."
He walked away with a sullen face.
Several little demons stood there looking at each other.
Finally, the little demon added: "Why do I feel that the young master's face and neck are a little red?"
What is going on?
"Could it be that the other party's words were too irritating? Did they make the young master angry?"
"Or maybe he was humiliated by that human cultivator—you know, when it comes to cultivation, the human race is also full of talented people. Just look at that one just now. Although he is only in the Nascent Soul stage, his aura is even stronger than the corresponding human Nascent Soul stage masters in our demon race."
"You're right. I didn't dare to say anything just now. I guess the young master is also shocked and angry about this."
The monsters looked up at Cui Jiao as he walked away.
Cui Jiao walked faster and faster, and at this moment, his mind was full of the little guy reaching out his hand, eyes sparkling, and asking him: "Can I touch my ears?"
cannot!
But the pair of fiery ears on the boy's head had been touched, and he curled up in shame and anger.
Next time——
I'll settle the score with him next time!
The other side.
Yan Ning was held in Cheng Hanqiu's arms.
The little guy is still chirping in my ear.
He also has a lot to say about today's lecture.
Although the little guy is a little weird, he is a polite and well-behaved baby in most cases. Of course, after hanging out with Danfeng and his group for a long time, the little cub has also picked up some of Danfeng's neuroticism.
He counted on his fingers and whispered to Cheng Hanqiu.
"The Jianfeng elder's lecture today was not good. It was not as good as the elder's last time. He talked about Yu Feng thirteen times and even asked Ning Ning if she understood."
Cheng Hanqiu lowered his eyes and looked at the little cub.
The cub puffed out its cheeks and clenched its tiny hands into fists.
"Is he here to provoke me? Daddy!"
Cheng Hanqiu was a little amused and helpless.
The other party is most likely not here to provoke.
Given the speed of Yu Feng's rise and his sanctimonious attitude, it would be difficult for any peak master or elder in Xuanyun Sect to have a bad impression of him, especially in the current world of cultivation. Not only in Xuanyun Sect, but even in the other six major sects, many disciples admire Yu Feng's methods. The teaching elder is probably used to it.
He even came over to ask the little fellow if he understood. It was probably because his cub's talent was so outstanding and his cultivation progressed so quickly that this happened.
It's not malicious.
But Cheng Hanqiu never liked to pay attention to Jianfeng, and was too lazy to explain.
Then he watched the little cub gently clench his fist.
"Wait for Ningning to work harder, keep going, and when she surpasses Yu Feng, Ningning will also pretend!"
A little cub in the Qi Refining stage has already started thinking about the future after the Nascent Soul stage.
Cheng Hanqiu raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, Ningning is awesome."
He nodded the cub's head with the usual praise.
"Now hurry back and eat."
The cubs who have not yet reached the foundation-building stage do not practice fasting.
Although you don’t have to eat three meals a day, you still need to eat at least one meal a day.
The cub here also touched his belly after imagining that he would step on Yu Feng in the future.
Soon, my stomach made a rumbling sound.
The cub embarrassedly laid his little face in his father's arms.
"What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Cheng Hanqiu patted the cub's back.
"Now you have to sleep with Daddy. Daddy has seen you lying on your back—"
"Daddy, don't say—"
The cub interrupted him instantly, its big watery eyes widening.
"Stop talking!"
Quite a burden.
Cheng Hanqiu raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
"Ningning has seen Daddy's drunken look. Daddy thinks he can be any better than Ningning—"
"Um?"
Cheng Hanqiu looked over.
"You little brat is going to make a scene."
"Hehehe... No, hehehe... Daddy is not allowed to tickle Ningning!"
Little Yan Ning twisted into a ball in Cheng Hanqiu's arms, laughing and dodging, but was caught by Cheng Hanqiu again.
The small brush emerged from Yan Ning's arms angrily, with the tip of the brush slightly bent, ready to give the other person a taste of his own medicine.
But I didn't have time to sneak up on him.
Cheng Hanqiu glanced towards the small brush.
Small brush: ...
Do you think I'm still the same little wimp I was half a year ago?!
Do you think I would give in so easily?
You are wrong!
The small brush got angry for a moment, then shrank back into Yan Ning's clothes.
Ying, it is.
So scary.
Yan Ning: …
Yan Ning dodged, crying and laughing, feeling disappointed, her little body arched and shouting.
“Daddy——”
It was at this time that the father and son, who were leisurely returning home for dinner, received a sound transmission note from Gu Yin.
Cheng Hanqiu stopped what he was doing, held the cub in one hand, looked at it casually, and frowned slightly.
"Master, after my second and third junior brothers went to the mission hall to check, they discovered news from Changgu Town in Nanchang. Recently, Changgu Town was attacked and surrounded by a demon, resulting in heavy casualties. Several sects are currently unable to handle the situation, and the mission's level is constantly rising. As for Jianfeng, as you know, they've never really cared about these areas. The situation isn't too serious right now, but my third junior sister seems a little off, so I've asked her to calm down."
"Ask her former relatives—did something happen?"
Cheng Hanqiu paused for only a moment, his tone steady and no emotion could be heard.
The sound transmission note crossed the sky and flew towards Danfeng.
The cub also sensed the subtle solemnity of the atmosphere and nervously hugged Cheng Hanqiu's neck, asking softly, "Daddy?"
"fine."
Cheng Hanqiu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then he quickened his pace.
"You should know where your third senior sister lives in the mortal world, right?"
"I know."
Xiao Yan Ning nodded.
"In Nanzhou."
"Yes, your third senior sister came to Xuanyun Sect from Changgu Town in Nanchang."
Cheng Hanqiu explained softly to the little cub.
It was purely accidental that Wu Yi was able to become his disciple.
Wu Yi came from Nanzhou, Changgu Town. A long time ago, that place had received favors from him and his companions who had already lost their souls. In Changgu Town, they had erected statues for them and chanted hymns to their merits.
There are still a few such places in the Thirteen States. Even though they are already notorious, people still don't want to believe them at that time.
Nor did people begin to praise Yu Feng like other places did.
That is why Yu Feng and Jian Feng considered these territories to be their residual influence and were very repulsive to these places. Back then, Wu Yi was not chosen by any peak because she was from Changgu Town, Nanzhou, even though she was a human and had good talent.
After that, for many missions, the disciples of Xuanyun Sect consciously avoided these places.
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
He lived a life of drunkenness and dreams for decades. Not only were his meridians destroyed, but he also intended to never show up in the world again.
The effect is very significant. In most cases, the problems encountered by these villages and towns have been solved.
Moreover, for ordinary mortals, a few decades are enough for a generation to change. At this moment, these places are gradually becoming less sharp and more in line with the mainstream.
This is also what Cheng Hanqiu wants to see - he no longer has the ability to protect these people.
Why roast them over the fire?
It might be better to forget the past, or even resent them.
This is an inevitable trend, but it is obvious because of Danfeng's activeness in the past six months.
Yu Feng tried to contact the cubs several times but was stopped, and the little guy didn't fall for Yu Feng's tricks at all. Yu Feng was somewhat annoyed and angry, and Jin Wei turned a blind eye. He was unwilling to pay any attention to Chang Guzhen, who probably had forgotten the names of him and his former companions a long time ago.
Cheng Hanqiu sneered.
He felt a chill in his heart.
He landed with the cub in his arms.
Gu Yin was already waiting on the side.
"Master, what should we do now? Should we accept the mission? Or should we avoid it as before? The main thing is that if we accept the mission, we may not be able to solve the problem. Besides, Danfeng will be short of manpower by then, and there is also Ningning--"
Little Yan Ning leaned her little head in her father's arms, her big eyes blinking, listening to their words, her lips gently pursed, her little body curled up.
"When I went to avoid him, I always felt that old man Jin Wei still had some conscience. I also felt that even if Yu Feng had to pretend, he could at least pretend to be decent."
Cheng Hanqiu smiled coldly.
"Now they've lost face first and are starting to pick on those mortals who don't even know my name anymore."
Gu Yin also frowned with a headache.
"That's true. This group of people is truly hopeless. If Second Junior Brother and Third Junior Sister hadn't gone to the Mission Hall to take a closer look, confirm the situation, and inquire in detail, who knows how long it would take before Jin Wei and Yu Feng would allow the powerful people from other places to intervene."
Now that Changgu Town has suffered heavy casualties, it is unknown what the situation will be like when we go back to take care of it.
Xiao Yanning pursed her lips.
"Where's Third Senior Sister?"
The little guy blinked his eyes.
"She should still be in the room, right? I just asked my second junior brother to look after her."
Little Yan Ning nodded, patted her father's arm, and said in a soft and adorable voice: "Ning Ning, go see Senior Sister."
"Well, go ahead."
Cheng Hanqiu put little Yan Ning down, loosened his hand, and watched the little guy running into the hall.
Gu Yin looked over, waited until the cub's back disappeared, and then looked at Cheng Hanqiu.
"That girl Wu Yi is so stubborn that she can't wait to rush back. Her cousin is injured and has a lame leg. All the elders have passed away, and her cousin is old. Master, you know that mortals have limited resources and poor physical fitness. Coupled with years of hard work and pressure, their lifespan is not long."
Because of the world of cultivating immortals, no matter who you are or what kind of spiritual creature it is, you can practice cultivation.
Even if they are half-blooded demons, most immortal sects will reluctantly accept them.
So although discrimination exists, it is not obvious.
Wu Yi has been good friends with her cousin since she was a child.
When little Wu Yi came to Xuanyun Sect, she begged the disciple who was taking the talent test to bring her cousin to visit Xiangyun City, the most prosperous city at the foot of Xuanyun Sect.
Although Xiangyun City does not have as much spiritual power as Xuanyun Sect, it is also a place where independent cultivators gather.
There are many cultivators, and it is quite prosperous.
After reading it, the latter kept his original intention. After confirming that Wu Yi would become his disciple, he said goodbye and returned to Nanzhou honestly.
It was Gu Yin who sent him back and left behind a lot of things. Generally speaking, Wu Yi's original family lived quite well in Changgu Town, Nanzhou.
Cheng Hanqiu nodded gently, narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his eyes, and thought for a moment.
The affairs of Nanzhou cannot be left unattended.
The cause and effect here are more or less related to him.
He couldn't go to all of Danfeng. Zhan Tianyu and Wu Yi might not be able to solve the problem if they went. If he went to Nanzhou, it would not be impossible. Although his tendons and veins were completely destroyed, Cheng Hanqiu believed that he had not become a complete waste.
But his cub was obviously targeted by Jianfeng, so it was not suitable to leave little Yan Ning in Danfeng.
"Don't stop me!! I want to see Master!"
"Can you calm down a bit? The more you act like that, the happier those people will be."
The two turned to look.
From a distance, they saw Wu Yi walking quickly towards them. They came from another direction and seemed to have gone to the Mission Hall again.
Zhan Tianyu tried to calm Wu Yi down.
But Wu Yi is much stronger than Zhan Tianyu.
This guy is holding a big cauldron and smashing people.
He dragged Zhan Tianyu towards this side.
After seeing Cheng Hanqiu, the girl stood there and paused for a moment.
Zhan Tianyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
He withdrew his hand.
Although both of them were already in the Foundation Establishment stage, the monster was obviously above the Foundation Establishment stage, and they couldn't deal with it easily. He was afraid that if he didn't keep an eye on it, Wu Yi would run away, so he rushed to deal with the monsters.
It will be troublesome then.
Wu Yi walked over quickly.
Stand in front of Cheng Hanqiu.
“Master!”
The girl raised her eyes, her gaze burning.
There was no sign of laughter and playfulness as before.
"Master, I want to go to Nanzhou!"
Cheng Hanqiu looked at her.
"Have you finished reading those quests? Do you know what kind of monsters might be lurking in Hase Town?"
"Master, disciple knows!"
Wu Yi looked at Cheng Hanqiu and spoke firmly.
"My Nanchang Changgu Town has never done anything wrong. Someone is behind this, someone is letting things go their way, someone is deliberately keeping the news secret. Now, my Changgu Town is destitute! The true words left by my master say that immortals are the product of human beings. With Chengshan protecting the world, one can be an immortal. I, your disciple, refuse to accept this. I will fight for a chance of survival for my Changgu Town!"
Master.
Cheng Hanqiu looked at her.
He knew that she was talking about his master, the Danfeng Patriarch Cheng, who was about to pass away.
The old fellow lectured on moral principles day after day, and although he was impatient to listen, there were people who listened.
He originally scoffed at what Patriarch Cheng said, but after looking at the entire Xuanyun Sect, he understood.
Eliminating demons and defending the way is just a slogan. In essence, cultivators are just ordinary people with some abilities. They have read more books and seen more than ordinary people, but they are human beings after all, and as human beings, they have selfish desires.
They will form cliques and factions, and there will be divisions between you and me.
Cheng Hanqiu curled his lips.
"Even so, go pack your things."
Wu Yi suddenly raised his eyes, with surprise in his eyes.
"Master! Disciple will now——"
"But you and your second senior brother definitely can't solve it..." Cheng Hanqiu had made up his mind and agreed, sneering, "Anyway, those guys have no shame, so I will take your second senior brother and your youngest junior brother with me."
"Master?"
Several people exclaimed.
"Your veins—"
Gu Yin was the first to express his concerns.
"Although the opponent has a cultivation level beyond the Foundation Establishment stage, Wu Yi and I, with our magic tools and spells, may be able to defeat him."
Zhan Tianyu also spoke subconsciously.
"Master, Second Brother is right."
Wu Yi also spoke quickly.
"Accept the mission. After Gu Yin, you will guard Danfeng. Submit the list and ask everyone around to know that the situation in Nanchang Changgu Town is serious. Why does Jianfeng always shirk his responsibilities by saying that it is his duty to eliminate demons and defend the way—"
Cheng Hanqiu laughed.
"Besides, you don't really think that your master is so disabled that he can't even defeat a demon with the cultivation level of an early Jindan?"
Wu Yi: ... "Ah? Isn't it?"
Cheng Hanqiu:......
Gu Yin and Zhan Tianyu each patted the passionate girl on the head.
Consider the situation before you speak! Of course not!!
"Then Master, I will make the arrangements right away."
Gu Yin withdrew his hand and saluted Cheng Hanqiu.
Cheng Hanqiu nodded.
He checked and found that the cub's breath was still around the Danfeng Hall, so he ignored it and planned to wait for the cub to come out.
"Let's talk about the specific mission later. Some things also need to be prepared."
Cheng Hanqiu turned around and walked towards the main hall.
Two people followed behind him.
They were talking about the situation in Nanzhou.
Nanzhou is rainy and hot, so there will be some evil cultivators who are addicted to water and use water to harm people.
This time it also looks quite dangerous.
Cheng Hanqiu listened to the two of them talking.
I'm waiting for him to draw up a rough plan and decide to set off tomorrow morning. I also need to refine some more pills tonight.
Gu Yin came in over there.
It means that the matter has been completed.
"You didn't see how ugly the faces of those disciples at Jianfeng were when I went to ask them one by one."
Gu Yin had regained his previous calm expression, with the corners of his lips curved in their habitual arc.
Wu Yi was sitting on the side, she was still a little anxious.
In this disaster, she carefully checked the list of mortal casualties. The incomplete list included several of her relatives, and she still had a vivid memory of it.
Although cultivating immortals is supposed to transcend the mundane world, one is not completely heartless when family members are around.
She thought of her uncle and aunt who once held her hand and took her to pick fruits, and smiled and said to her, "Sister, you are lucky to find a good master and embark on this path. We have also made arrangements with my uncle and aunt for your cousin."
Her mood inevitably became depressed.
A little sad.
No one bothered to disturb her mood.
Cheng Hanqiu looked around and frowned.
"Where's Ningning?"
It's been quite a while.
There was no sign of movement from the little thing. It was growling with hunger, but I didn't hear it asking for food.
"I don't know... Ningning hasn't come out yet?"
Gu Yin spoke subconsciously.
"No—has it been a long time?"
Zhan Tianyu also reacted.
"His presence is still near the main hall."
Cheng Hanqiu frowned.
Because he was at Danfeng, he didn't have to pay attention to the cub's every move, so he could only sense it roughly.
"Where's the little one?"
"Let's look for it."
Wu Yi's thoughts were also interrupted. She stood up, as if she wanted to find something to do.
"Ningning, it's time to eat."
So they searched around the main hall and the houses nearby.
I thought I would find the little guy easily, but he was nowhere to be found.
“Where is it?”
Zhan Tianyu looked around, feeling a little confused.
"Master, is it around here?"
This is where Zhan Tianyu and Wu Yi of ancient Yin lived.
They had just checked every room.
Cheng Hanqiu was not in a hurry. He was sure that the little guy was still nearby.
He closed his eyes and sensed it again.
"It's right here. Didn't Ningning say before that she was coming to look for Wu Yi?"
Gu Yin looked through several rooms again and said, "Yes, but I guess we didn't find it, did we?"
Wu Yi suddenly looked towards his room - it can't be possible?
She opened the door to her room.
In the hall of her room, a huge alchemy furnace stood in the middle.
This alchemy furnace is rarely used to make elixirs, and most of the time it is used by Wu Yi to hit people.
She was a little hesitant at this moment and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace.
The group of people looked inside and paused for a moment.
I don't know when the little cub got in, curled up into a small ball, and fell asleep softly.
“Ningning——”
Wu Yi was stunned for a moment.
She had always wanted to put the little guy in the alchemy furnace, but of course it was just talk.
She likes the alchemy furnace and also likes this pretty and lovely junior brother. She always feels that she would be so excited if they could be put together.
But at this moment.
Little Yan Ning was really tired. He had been fighting with Cui Jiao for a long time today, and the little guy was exhausted.
He opened his eyes in a daze.
The light from the lid fell on the fair little face, and the crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly.
His big eyes, like black grapes, opened.
Why?
Ningning fell asleep?
The little cub thought confusedly.
He knew that his senior sister was not very happy.
But the little cubs can't solve many problems.
He is too young.
He didn't find his senior sister, so he thought and thought again.
I decided to follow my senior sister’s wish.
The little fellow held onto one side of the alchemy furnace with his little hands, and propped up his little head a little, with only a small head peeking out from the alchemy furnace. He was so well-behaved and sleepy that I could only coax him in my own way.
She said softly, "Sister, I'm not sad."
Look, Ningning has come into the furnace!
