Xiao Ding stared intently at Xiao Sheng.
A cultivator at the Mahayana stage! Their soul is a great tonic for demons.
If he eats it, he can reach the realm of the Demon Ancestor.
If he encounters those pedantic immortals again, he should be able to fight them for a year.
Ruofeng also stared at Xiao Sheng, suppressing his urge to pounce on him and tear him apart.
He always felt that Xiao Sheng was different from before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. But he just really wanted to eat it!
Seeing that neither of them intended to speak again, but were looking at him as if he were a delicious treat, Xiao Sheng knew that he was highly sought after in their eyes.
This place is not safe to stay in for long; it's best to leave.
While the two were still lost in their drooling fantasies, Xiao Sheng left Chonghua Palace.
When the crowd waiting at the entrance of Chonghua Palace saw Xiao Sheng come out, they dispersed.
Luo Bingqian followed Xiao Sheng.
Li Ting and his family prepared to go home.
Xiao Sheng posted what he had just seen on the Immortal Network, so that others could see it.
[Since the demon wanted to devour Xiao Sheng, why didn't it? It must be because he hasn't yet recovered to his peak cultivation level.]
Why does Xiao Ding also want to eat Xiao Sheng? Has he practiced some kind of evil magic?
I'll have to investigate this myself tomorrow.
"No, you can't go." Xiao Sheng couldn't hold back any longer and said this without caring about anything else.
The Li family members stood frozen in place, and Li Xingran felt that even ten cracks in the ground wouldn't be enough for her to crawl into.
So, he could hear his own inner thoughts all along?
Luo Bingqian and Fan Zuan didn't know why Xiao Sheng said those words.
However, Li Xingran fled first.
Xiao Sheng went after him.
Just as Luo Bingqian was about to move, Li Ruijin stopped him.
"Why aren't you moving? Aren't you going with them?" Luo Bingqian found it strange.
"We have to go home." Li Ruiqi looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Grand Tutor, what's going on?" Luo Bingqian refused to give up.
"It's just the two kids arguing. Let's hurry up and cultivate. Xiao Ding and the demon's power are growing stronger." Li Ting diverted Luo Bingqian's attention.
"By the way, I feel like I'm having a breakthrough recently. I really need to work harder on my cultivation, or I'll fall behind you all."
Luo Bingqian is a fanatic about spiritual cultivation.
Li Xingran stood atop the highest mountain outside the imperial city, and Xiao Sheng caught up with her.
Li Xingran reverted to her appearance as a little girl.
"Xingran." Xiao Sheng walked to Li Xingran's side.
"You heard my thoughts the first day you came to my house, didn't you?" Li Xingran recalled Xiao Sheng's behavior over the few years since he was reincarnated here.
"Yes. That day, when Zheng Duoyu finished reading the imperial edict and we were about to leave, I heard what you said, and I went back and verified it."
"Then I had a dream in which my father gave me poisoned wine and I slowly died."
"My father watched my life slip away without any emotion, while Zhao Yunwan and Xiao Ding stood by with bright smiles."
"I only realized that after that. And that's when I started to work hard and improve myself."
"Xingran, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just didn't know how to tell you."
"I'm afraid that once you know, you'll never tell me the plot again, and then I won't know where to go."
"I don't want to see the entire Li family wiped out, I don't want to see you burned to death by Xiao Yuyan when you were nine years old, and I myself don't want to end my life with poison."
"I don't know when it started, but my eyes can't leave you. I know that your soul is not that of a little girl."
"You are mature and wise, and you have seen many people and things that I have never seen before."
"I'm trying my best to catch up, wanting to give you the best life."
"But after seeing your secret realm, you've already lived the best life, so you probably wouldn't look down on the Southern Chen Kingdom, would you?"
"Xingran, say something!" Xiao Sheng felt like he was about to cry.
He didn't cry when Zhao Yunwan fed him opium, he didn't cry when his own father disliked him, but if Li Xingran ignored him, he felt he could cry his eyes out.
"Xiao Sheng, I think I've discovered the demon's lair."
"Would you like to come with me to investigate?"
Li Xingran asked Xiao Sheng with her bright, sparkling eyes.
"Will you still play with me?" Xiao Sheng asked, looking aggrieved, as he cautiously approached Li Xingran.
"Of course I'll play with you! You're the biggest support in my life, followed by my father and mother, then my third uncle, and my brothers."
"With you all, I can finally relax and do whatever I want, whether I want to cultivate or not."
"Let's go, it's a bit of a journey. But we have to bring Uncle San along." Li Xingran led Xiao Sheng back to the Li family home.
Li Ting has already taken his family home.
Luo Bingqian was in the palace, cultivating himself while waiting for Xiao Sheng to return.
Back at the Li family home, Li Xingran's expression was unreadable, while Xiao Sheng looked somewhat dejected.
"Third Uncle, I used the aura on the demon to find its lair today."
Fan Zu'an wondered, how should he tell him about finding the lair? Could it be that the lair is related to him?
"Xingran, is this nest the village I mentioned before?"
After much deliberation, Fan Zuan concluded that the village was indeed suitable for the growth of demonic energy.
It was isolated from the world and rarely visited by people.
"Yes. It's there." Li Xingran's face showed a worried expression.
"When shall we set off?" Fan Zuan knew that Li Xingran definitely wanted him to come along.
"Let's do it early tomorrow morning. We still need to make preparations." Li Xingran thought about how to arrange the current matters.
"Father, please make arrangements for the personnel. Xiao Sheng, Third Uncle, and I are definitely going. As for the others, those whose cultivation is unstable, they can stay in the capital for now."
“Xiao Ding and the demons also need to be kept an eye on, which is worrying me. It seems we don’t have enough manpower.”
"The merits you accumulate in my secret realm can be converted into cultivation."
"Try it now."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately entered a meditative state.
They had almost all reached the late stage of Mahayana, and were just a little short of entering the Tribulation Transcending stage.
However, breaking through to the later stages of Mahayana Buddhism is extremely difficult.
Li Xingran must go out to gain experience this time, hoping to break through to the Mahayana stage after returning.
She used all sorts of spiritual herbs and medicines from the brocade pouch to help her cultivation, but she still couldn't break through. Therefore, she had to go into actual combat.
"Xiao Sheng, let Luo Bingqian stay and oversee the country. As for the others, those who don't have any urgent matters to attend to, let them go and gain experience."
"The Chinese New Year is almost here, but I won't be able to spend it at home this year. I estimate it will be about half a year before I leave."
"You have one night to arrange your own affairs."
"This journey is extremely dangerous, but if we don't go, the Cangxuan Continent will be doomed."
"Little sister, what preparations do we need to make?"
Li Ruijin's resolute question.
"Bring your own weapons and magical artifacts, check your spiritual energy space, and bring plenty of things to protect yourself."
"In a little while, I'll go to the capital to bring the demon back. You all stay home and prepare!"
After Li Xingran finished speaking, she pulled Xiao Sheng away and disappeared from the spot, then reappeared in the sky above Chonghua Palace.
