Chapter 19: Saving the Demonic Villain 6
The afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the courtyard. On the eaves hung a shell wind chime made by Xingjian himself, which made crisp tinkling sounds when blown by the evening breeze.
Feng Chuqiu didn't want to continue the meaningless communication with the person in front of him. His eyes wandered towards the wind chimes. Only the sound of the wind chimes could calm his heart.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a long time before the senior brother revealed his true purpose for coming to congratulate them. He stared intently at the leaves swaying on the tree branches without any wind, his Adam's apple rolling. "Junior Brother Feng, I heard you formed a pact with a spirit snake at the Immortal Cultivation Conference. Could you please let that spirit snake appear so I can feast my eyes on it?"
Xingjian, who was still arguing with 004, suddenly noticed something unusual below. Xingjian, who was perched between the tree branches, suddenly stopped talking and stared at the person under the tree with his snake eyes.
Xing Jian was not interested in the people from the Yuhua Sect. After all, according to the original plot, these so-called fellow disciples would come to step on Feng Chuqiu in the future.
"Hiss~" The sound of the Star Sword was not loud, but it was more than enough for the two cultivators under the tree to hear.
"Xiaoxing has always disliked outsiders, I hope you can forgive me, senior brother. It's almost time for Xiaoxing to eat, so Chuqiu won't see you off, senior brother." Feng Chuqiu had a smile on his face, but there was indifference in the depths of his eyes.
The senior brother felt as if he was being targeted by an evil spirit, and felt terrified in the courtyard. After saying goodbye repeatedly, he left Feng Chuqiu's courtyard as if he was running for his life.
Noticing that something was wrong with the person under the tree, Xing Jian also stuck his head out to see what was happening. For some reason, looking at Feng Chuqiu's familiar back, he always felt that something strange had happened to that person.
Until the man's breath completely disappeared in the courtyard, Xingjian transformed into a human form and jumped down from the tree branch.
Although he knew that Xing Jian would not be hurt at all if he jumped from such a height, when he saw that figure, Feng Chuqiu still took a step forward nervously and hugged Xing Jian in his arms.
He reached out and pinched Xingjian's cheek, "Just jump down from such a high place, you won't be afraid of falling."
Xing Jian, whose face was pinched, smiled and buried his face in the crook of Feng Chuqiu's neck. His warm and sweet breath lingered around Feng Chuqiu. "Feng Chuqiu, you are so powerful, how could you not catch Xiao Xing?"
"They all want to covet you, Xiaoxing. I was the first one to see you, and I was the one who formed a bond with you. Why do others want to take you away from me?" Feng Chuqiu's voice was muffled, and he hugged Xingjian with his arms even tighter.
Because of her childhood experiences, Feng Chuqiu always felt insecure. Only with Xing Jian's repeated comfort could Feng Chuqiu break free from the obsession that everyone would leave her.
"No, I will never, ever leave you. Stop thinking about it. We, the spirit snake clan, will only recognize one master in our lifetime. Moreover, our spirit snakes' recognition of their master is much more effective than humans' heart-to-heart contracts." Xing Jian's legs hidden under his long gown transformed into a snake's tail. He deliberately wrapped the snake's tail around Feng Chuqiu's waist, and the scales scraped against the man's robe, making a rustling sound.
"Of course I believe you."
"The Spirit Snake Clan is best at deception."
Two voices sounded at the same time, but Xing Jian could not hear the latter voice. The "Feng Chuqiu" in his sea of consciousness was laughing wantonly at the guy in front of him who did something stupid. He was unwilling to believe that this person could be himself a hundred years ago. It was simply stupid and ridiculous.
And that strange little snake, could it be that because of my intervention, Feng Chuqiu got a spirit snake that was different from the one he had before?
Watching the interaction between the man and the snake in his sea of consciousness, "Feng Chuqiu" actually felt a strange emotion in his heart that had not been felt for a long time.
In his sea of consciousness, Feng Chuqiu could look at the little snake in front of him without restraint, but there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
Different, why is this little snake completely different from the ones I encountered?
If I were the one who encountered it, would I...
Impossible! The Spirit Snake Clan is best at deception!!
Xing Jian shuddered suddenly, his golden eyes scanning the empty courtyard, but he saw no one else in the courtyard besides them. It was strange; he had just felt someone staring at him.
After feeling it carefully again, that feeling disappeared magically.
Days passed, and Xingjian put 200% of his energy into following Feng Chuqiu. When he was practicing, Xingjian transformed into a bracelet hanging on his wrist.
The once-in-a-century Immortal Cultivation Conference is held again. This time, the protagonist Lu Zikun will break the record set by Feng Chuqiu. At this time, Feng Chuqiu seems to have realized that his cultivation has reached a bottleneck.
Xing Jian had no interest in this Immortal Cultivation Conference. He just hung it on Feng Chuqiu's wrist and often heard a group of people cheering from time to time when passing by.
It was unknown when the Immortal Cultivation Conference had ended. At this time, Feng Chuqiu had just experienced another failed breakthrough in realm.
He tried to force a breakthrough, but it backfired on all the meridians in his body. Feng Chuqiu bit his tongue hard to stop himself from sinking any further. When he opened his eyes, the bright red in his eyes had not completely dissipated. He was almost going crazy. Looking at Xing Jian who had been staying by his side, fortunately, he did not become possessed.
Looking at the dejected Feng Chuqiu in front of him, Xing Jian didn't care that they were outside the courtyard. He transformed into a human form, put his arm around her shoulders, and said softly, "Feng Chuqiu, reaching the Golden Core stage is already very impressive. I heard that the lotus lanterns in the Jiangnan area of the human world can float for three thousand miles. Let's go and see them together, okay?"
Feng Chuqiu gently stroked Xingjian's back. This failure finally made him understand why he couldn't make another breakthrough. It was because there was something wrong with his spiritual roots.
This time he forced a breakthrough, and his spiritual root actually had faint cracks. He failed to stop the loss in time and could not find a way to repair the spiritual root. He was afraid that he would not be able to make any more breakthroughs in his lifetime.
Looking at Xing Jian's worried face, his Adam's apple rolled as he wanted to tell the truth. As soon as this thought came to his mind, it was discovered by the demon in his sea of consciousness.
"You don't want to tell this little snake about this, do you? After knowing this, the first thing this stupid snake will do is to get rid of you, idiot, hahahaha." "Feng Chuqiu" laughed at himself a hundred years ago. He actually dared to trust others, especially a stupid snake. He was simply an idiot.
Seeing that Feng Chuqiu didn't reply for a long time, Xing Jian tilted his head and looked at the person in front of him, who seemed to be hesitant to speak.
After a long while, Feng Chuqiu said, "Okay, maybe after playing around for a while, I can find an opportunity for a breakthrough."
Xing Jian was very excited after receiving the reply of consent. He immediately took Feng Chuqiu's hand and ran to their courtyard to pack their things for the trip.
