Chapter 649 Three Wishes
The past is as vast as the sea. If it is not something that is deeply impressed, Zhu Chuideng really cannot remember it for a while.
But the Xiao family's affairs were very special, and Zhu Chuideng still remembered them vividly after so many years.
Amidst the yellow sand, a frail woman clutching a baby walked away. Behind her, a magnificent castle burned, black smoke rising into the sky. The woman stumbled, her bare feet treading on the scorching gravel, leaving a bloody footprint with every step...
If you look closely at Xiao Chujing's face, you can see that he does resemble an old friend.
Zhu Chuideng is essentially a fierce ghost. As a ghost, what naturally arouses his interest is deep-seated evil thoughts...
Xiao Chujing suddenly felt that a huge ghost was attached to his body. The huge negative energy of human emotions invaded him. Love and hate seemed to be able to easily break his body into pieces. The bone-chilling coldness flew up from his lower limbs.
He hallucinated the sounds of many weeping and grim laughter, as well as the ambiguous sounds of men and women making love, the men demanding endlessly, the women begging and crying.
He heard his mother's familiar voice, a man's voice as cold as a scorpion.
——Don't kill him, he is your blood.
——I’m so jealous. You care about him more than me. Just kill him.
- Stop saying weird things. As a father, no one would be jealous of his own son.
——Your pretending to be a loving mother is really funny.
--What's the meaning?
—You think I don't know that you always wait until this kid is starving to death before giving him milk. What? You desperately want to keep this kid alive so that he can kill his father as predicted?
--No!
——You want him to live? You have to please me very hard tonight.
——No! Let me go!
——Give me another child.
Xiao Chujing gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and shook his head nervously, trying to get rid of the disgusting sounds. The veins on the back of his hands bulged as he resisted the suffocating pressure of Zhu Chuideng.
Zhu Chuideng looked at him with great interest, "A token of gratitude?"
Xiao Chujing clenched his teeth, cold sweat running down his forehead. He tried hard to suppress the demonic blood in his body, and with trembling fingers, he took out a token from the storage ring and threw it to Zhu Chuideng.
Zhu Chuideng took the lantern and saw the word "Zhu" engraved on the front of the black iron order.
He said: "Yes, it is a token of trust that I gave to the Xiao family."
He told me a story from the past: "Many years ago, when I was the Ghost King, I was in danger and almost lost my soul. It was your Xiao family's ancestor who passed by the ghost realm and helped me and saved my life."
"I promised Ancestor Xiao that if any of the descendants of the Xiao family need help, they can take the token and come to the ghost world to find me. No matter what it takes, I will help them realize three wishes."
Xiao Chujing replied indifferently: "You didn't break your promise."
Zhu Chuideng sighed: "Yes, I have fulfilled my promise."
Zhu Chuideng did not expect to see the token of trust he had given away again. Once he saw it, it would mean that his benefactor had suffered a disaster.
After parting with the Xiao ancestor, he didn't know how many years had passed, until he became the ghost master. When the Xiao ancestor died, the Xiao family had flourished for more than a hundred generations.
Just when Zhu Chuideng almost forgot about this matter, the Xiao family sent people to the ghost world.
A man used his ancestral diary to find a forgotten keepsake from the family warehouse. He then found Zhu Chuideng and asked him to rescue his younger sister Xiao Tang who was abducted by the demons.
It's not complicated.
Xiao Tang is a cultivator of the Qingzheng Sect. Seven years ago, he and his fellow disciples went to the Demon Tribe to carry out a mission. The mission failed and they were robbed and killed by the Demon Tribe. Some of his fellow disciples died, while others were injured. Xiao Tang disappeared.
Because the soul lamp had not been extinguished, the sect and the family had not given up the search for many years. After much effort, they finally learned from the informant of the demon clan that Xiao Tang had been abducted by the Tuoba clan, a great demon clan family, and was currently being held as a concubine of the Tuoba clan master.
The Tuoba clan was powerful, their fiefdom was deep in the Demon Realm, the terrain was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there were many powerful ancestors in charge. The sect and the Xiao clan had asked for it many times, but were all rudely rejected by the head of the Tuoba clan.
The sect was helpless, and the Xiao family gave up on the rescue. Only the brother, who was born to the same mother, continued to seek rescue.
Zhu Chuideng accepted the commission.
The ghost realm and the demon realm had been at odds for a long time, so Zhu Chuideng had to go there in person. The ghost lord was actually also bound by the power of the ghost realm and could not leave the ghost realm freely. At that time, there was still more than half a year before the Ghost Gate opened on the Ghost Festival, but Zhu Chuideng still found a way to go to the demon realm immediately.
This commission was easy for Zhu Chuideng to complete.
He went straight to kill Tuoba clan and rescued Xiao Tang.
At this time, Xiao Tang had given birth to a son with the head of the Tuoba family, Xiao Chujing.
That’s right, Xiao Chujing’s name in the demon clan is actually Tuoba Jing.
During the rescue, Zhu Chuideng learned some secrets.
The head of the Tuoba family learned from the Qianji Sect's prophecy that he would die at the hands of his own son in the future. He had a crazy idea and came up with a special way to resolve the problem.
He had a high opinion of himself and believed that anyone who could kill him must be very powerful, so he wanted to fight against fate and have a weak offspring.
There is a nine out of ten chance that the union of demons and humans will produce weak and short-lived offspring, so he plans to find a human to reproduce.
While looking for a candidate, he met Xiao Tang from the human world. Xiao was beautiful and met his aesthetic standards, so he took her by force and forced her to have a child with him.
It was difficult for humans and demons to have children. The head of the Tuoba family tormented Xiao Tang for six years before finally giving birth to Xiao Chujing.
Xiao Tang has been living a life worse than death for the past six years. Even after giving birth to the child, the head of the Tuoba family still refused to let her go. If it weren't for her brother asking Zhu Chuideng for help, she, a female cultivator from a small family, would be powerless and could only spend the rest of her life in the demon world, with no one caring about her.
Since Xiao Tang had already handed the Ghost Lord's token to Xiao Chujing, he must have told him about this life experience.
Zhu Chuideng looked at Xiao Chujing with complicated eyes.
No one would want to have such an identity.
Xiao Chujing was born from his father's ugly delusion, and his existence is proof of his mother's shameful past.
Xiao Chujing walked the world under the name "Xiao Chujing" instead of "Tuoba Jing". His attitude had clearly cut off ties with his father's clan and his past.
Zhu Chuideng believed that unless Xiao Chujing was in desperate situation, he would not bring up his shameful life experience to negotiate with him.
He did this simply to find a way out for Ye Xiaoman.
Xiao Chujing chose to take out the token in front of everyone, which also took a huge risk.
Back then, the Qingzheng Sect and the Xiao family, especially the Xiao family, regarded the fact that Xiao Tang had a child with a demon as a family shame, and used many means to suppress the matter, saying only that Xiao Tang had died in the demon world.
But since things have already happened, there will always be clues left.
Xiao Chujing mentioned this matter in front of his fellow disciples of the Qingzheng Sect. As long as anyone wanted to investigate, they would always find out his half-demon identity, and everything he had done in the human world would eventually be wiped out.
Xiao Chujing is different from his mother and father. He really loves someone well.
