Chapter 65: Bugs still have a good relationship after kissing
The night was dark, dark clouds obscured the stars, there was no light between heaven and earth, not even the sound of the wind.
Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard from the dead silent Jade Hill and Black Stone Peak.
Those black dots, smaller than ants, gathered in groups and densely packed together, moving back and forth in the cracks of the mountains like living creatures, and finally gathered in the most solid prison at the bottom.
The prison was full of chains, with a man tied in the middle of the chains. He was wearing several animal shackles, and the barbs on the shackles had deeply penetrated his bone marrow. The ground was stained with blood, but he seemed completely unaware of it. He just leaned slightly, supporting a ball of black air with his arm, with one hand on his ear, and closed his eyes to take a nap.
His delicate face was hidden in the thick darkness, calm and composed, as if he was not in a dark purgatory, but among the beautiful mountains and rivers.
Tens of millions of black dots quickly condensed in front of him and transformed into a man in light gray clothes.
The man was agitated, his eyes filled with excitement, almost like madness. He knelt down before the prisoner, his body trembling slightly. He only heard him say:
"Lord God, I have finally found you. You... have suffered so much. Don't worry. Even if it costs me my own life, I will find a way to rescue you."
Li Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, and suddenly smiled: "It's only been a few months since we last met, and you've already become a high-level monster?"
That smile was extremely beautiful, but he didn't dare to look at it any longer: "When we first met, I was too weak to help you—"
"Did you come here after seeing the sky curtain?" Wei Yuan interrupted him.
The man nodded eagerly, "I heard that the monk in that scene wanted to take you to Jade Hill, so I rushed here day and night."
Hou Yuan asked again, "Are you the so-called demon messenger?"
"You knew?!" The man looked up in surprise, then quickly lowered his head to the ground. "My power alone is too limited, so I thought of gathering the demons to serve you at any time."
Wei Yuan did not say anything, but just raised his hand slightly and pointed at him. A black gas flowed out from his fingertips, winding and spreading in the air, like a tiny black snake, and drilled into the man's eyebrows.
The man's body trembled, and he frowned to endure the pain, allowing Hou Yuan to explore back and forth in his memory.
Neither his body nor his mind dared to resist in the slightest. He knew that if he showed even a hint of unwillingness, the black energy would immediately wreak havoc in his brain. At the very least, he would become an idiot, and at the worst, he would turn into a pool of pus and blood.
The black air emerged and dissipated, and Hou Yuan opened his eyes. His inky pupils were even darker than the dark room. He sneered and said:
"I didn't care about you then. I never thought you could survive so well."
The man immediately guessed what Wei Yuan was referring to.
It was the stunning scene that he peeked at through the cracks in the rock and engraved in his heart.
At that time, Wei Yuan just glanced at him and ignored him.
Perhaps he was like an ant at that time.
Who cares about the life or death of an ant?
"The demon is dead."
Hou Yuan looked at him. Although his expression was calm, he was frightened for no reason. "Do you know what this means?"
His body trembled even more violently, whether due to excessive excitement or the fear his body had revealed beforehand. "I know you don't like others to know your appearance, so I didn't directly tell those demons about your current identity—hiss!"
His eyes hurt and his vision suddenly became empty.
At the same time, two round objects were heard rolling on the ground several times, and then they hit something and stopped.
His eyeballs.
It hurt a lot, but he didn't cover it.
Black blood was flowing down his face, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.
He lowered his head to the ground again and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Lord God, for sparing my life."
"Who have you mentioned my current name to?"
The man understood the implication of Wei Yuan's words and quickly replied, "Don't worry, Lord God, I will slaughter them all when I get out."
Wei Yuan felt generally satisfied, and the solemn and murderous atmosphere in the room eased slightly.
Black air flowed out from his lightly raised fingertips, splitting into two strands and entering the man's ears.
The man suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, and his internal organs were torn apart. He rolled on the ground and convulsed for a long time before he stopped.
He could see nothing, but he felt that he could hear more clearly and smell farther.
At this moment, the magic power in his body increased by more than a hundred times!
He quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you--"
A foot suddenly stepped on his head, stopping his unspoken words, and then the moving jade voice came from above his head:
"Within eighteen days, lead them to Yuqiu. Then, I will need your intervention."
"Don't worry, Lord God! I will do my best!" The man pressed his face tightly against the ground, his buttocks raised high, and his expression was extremely excited.
"Does he have a name?" Maybe he had one in his memory, but Wei Yuan didn't care.
The man became even more excited, his voice trembling: "My name is——"
"insect."
He was stunned and didn't understand.
But now he was blind, so he couldn't see the tenderness in Zhu Yuan's eyes. As if remembering something, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, which was even more gorgeous and stunning in this gloomy prison:
"From now on, you will be called Bug."
*
Xu Xingxing lay on the roof of the carriage, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, looking at the setting sun, his head slightly dizzy.
Three days had passed since she escaped from Kunlun. If nothing unexpected happened, she would probably be able to reach Yuqiu in two or three days.
Somewhat urgent.
No wonder the speed is so slow.
She was injured by the heavenly thunder, and the effect of the Blue Spring was still there, so her spiritual power would occasionally be blocked. In addition, Kunlun sent out almost half of the cultivators to hunt her down, so she didn't dare to show her face during the day and could only secretly control the sword for an hour or two in the middle of the night.
But she was not idle either. On the way, she helped two wandering cultivators to subdue three mid-level monsters, several low-level monsters, and a few evil spirits.
I also learned some disguise techniques.
She forgot that her face had been broadcast live across the country. As soon as she walked out on the street, she was recognized. She was so scared that she quickly moved away and flew a long way away without looking back before she felt relieved.
After that, she covered her face with a veil for the whole day until she met Fang Qi and Cheng Xue.
Both of them are independent cultivators, and their cultivation levels are not very high. Fang Qi has reached the upper level of foundation building, while Cheng Xue is still lingering in the lower level.
The two are Taoist companions, without any sect or school, traveling together, dreaming of traveling the world with swords, slaying demons and monsters, and benefiting the people.
Imagination is rich, but reality is cruel.
Especially when Xu Xingxing met them, they were being unilaterally crushed by two mid-level monsters.
If she hadn't made a grand appearance and saved the two of them like a hero, even if they were lucky enough to be alive, they would have been seriously injured.
But the consequence of the gorgeous appearance was that the veil, which was originally a piece of rag, fell off.
So, she was recognized by both of them without any suspense.
Especially Cheng Xue.
When Cheng Xue saw her, she was stunned at first, then she screamed and jumped three feet high, then rushed over and hugged her tightly, refusing to let go.
He kept saying: I finally saw a living person!
For a moment, Xu Xingxing had the illusion that she was a national idol.
It turns out that Cheng Xue had heard Xu Xing'er's story since she was a child and was extremely obsessed with it.
Fang Qi said that she had also purchased Xu Xing'er's portraits at the high price of one gold ingot per piece.
In response, Xu Xingxing said that she could give her the gold ingot and she could stand by Cheng Xue's bedside every day for her to admire.
But Cheng Xue didn't get her humor. After hearing what she said, she took out the gold ingot from her bag and stuffed it into Xu Xingxing's arms.
In response to this, Xu Xingxing asked, "What's going on with this sudden financial test?"
If she stopped for another second, she would not be able to control herself and put the gold in her pocket. Time was really tight, so she quickly stood up and said goodbye, but Cheng Xue used some disguise skills to force her to stay.
After she spent half a day studying and was about to leave, Cheng Xue once again insisted on going with her on the pretext of going back to her hometown to visit relatives.
Xu Xingxing was puzzled. "Where is your hometown? How do you know we're from the same industry?"
Cheng Xue had a cunning look on her face: "It's Yuqiu."
Xu Xingxing was stunned.
It turned out that she guessed it.
It’s not difficult to guess.
The news that Xiao Hei was going to be executed had already spread across the country.
And anyone with a discerning eye could see from the sky that she had a good relationship with Xiao Hei.
…
More than good!
Where else can you see such a good relationship where they kissed in front of the whole country!
Seeing that she didn't deny it, Cheng Xue's gossipy soul followed closely: "Xing'er Immortal Lord, are you and that vicious dog a Taoist couple?"
Xu Xingxing coughed violently for a while, thinking about how to explain to such a little girl the strange relationship of kissing but not being a couple?
So she nodded: "Yes."
Cheng Xue's eyes lit up even more: "Is he the natal spirit beast that helped you block the thunder tribulation when you were promoted? What was his name? Yes, Huo Dou!"
I really understand her...
Xu Xingxing nodded again: "...Yes."
"How romantic, what a perfect match!" Cheng Xue grasped her sleeve and affirmed, "Then I understand you, Xing'er Immortal Lord, go save him, I'll go with you!"
Fang Qi's eyebrows twitched, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and said nothing.
Xu Xingxing laughed dryly and refused: "No, this is my own business. Xiao Hei is not a good person. I can bear the blame alone. How can I implicate you?"
Cheng Xue, on the other hand, refused to listen and said, "Xing'er Immortal Lord's business is my business! Even if you become a demon one day, I will follow you to live in the demon world!"
It was Fang Qi's turn to cough.
Cheng Xue looked at Fang Qi, her brows furrowed. "What? You have an objection? Then we'll go our separate ways. You can be your respectable and upright person, and I'll be my devious and crooked one. We can't coexist!"
Fang Qi looked extremely helpless, and pleadingly looked at Cheng Xue and said, "Auntie, I didn't say anything."
Xu Xingxing: ...
It was also the first time for her to see fans who had become brain-dead because of her... But she felt guilty and felt that she really couldn't lead the children astray, so she resolutely said goodbye.
Who would have thought that Cheng Xue started crying and making a fuss, and was almost about to hang herself, before Xu Xingxing reluctantly agreed to let her follow him.
And then it is now.
The carriage was moving leisurely. Cheng Xue popped her little head out from below and said, "Sister Xing'er, it's time to apply the medicine!"
Hmm? Still feeling sleepy, Xu Xingxing muttered, "Didn't we just go to bed?"
"You were injured by the thunder. You need to be treated more times, otherwise it will take a long time to heal!" Cheng Xue insisted.
All right……
Xu Xingxing had just slowly sat up when he suddenly smelled a very strong smell of blood, followed by the breath of a monster.
"Oh no, there's a demon!" Fang Qi's treasure that could detect demonic energy lit up at the same time.
Xu Xingxing stood up and looked forward, and saw smoke and dust rising from a village not far away. The villagers were crying and screaming, fleeing in all directions. Those who couldn't escape were caught and torn to pieces by the monsters, or stuffed directly into their mouths, chewed until their mouths were full of blood, and then they swallowed it with a satisfied look on their faces.
There was tragedy and blood everywhere.
Xu Xingxing felt cold all over when he saw it.
The three of them quickly flew over to rescue them, and when they got closer, they discovered that among these harmful monsters, more than a dozen were only mid-level.
If it were before, Xu Xingxing would have been able to slash the sword effortlessly, but she was still injured and had to fight hard.
Finally, after the three of them eliminated all the monsters and calmed down the villagers, they sat on the ground in a mess and bandaged each other's wounds.
There were corpses of monsters everywhere, and smelly black blood was flowing on the ground, which made her frown.
Xu Xingxing thought carefully about the monsters she had encountered in the past few days, and found that they were more than she had seen in the past year of her life in this world.
So, she expressed her doubts: "Why are there more monsters the closer we get to Jade Hill?"
Shouldn't a place of immortal cultivation be intimidated by these monsters? She had never encountered a monster around Kunlun.
Fang Qi's sword grip was throbbing with veins as he angrily declared, "It must have been those bastards of evil cultivators in Yuqiu who did this. Ever since Luo Chuan took power, these bastards have brought chaos and turmoil to Yuqiu! Raising demon pets, collecting furnaces and cauldrons, and crafting beast pills. These days, every so-called upper-class cultivator has a dozen or so furnaces and cauldrons to keep. When it comes time to endure thunder tribulations, they use other people's bodies to bear the brunt of it. They disregard the law and regard human life with disregard! It's truly disgusting! Absurd!"
"Don't be angry. This hasn't just happened in the past two years. Hasn't it been like this for a long time?"
Cheng Xue's face was rarely serious. "But there are too many monsters now. It seems necessary to go back. Father and mother are still in Mucheng at the foot of Yuqiu."
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze and looked at Xu Xingxing, her eyes sparkling again: "Fortunately, I met Sister Xing'er and discovered this crisis in advance. I am so lucky."
…
So I really didn’t think about going back at first.
But Xu Xingxing was still worried and said, "You two should be careful. We will separate in Mucheng. You don't have to follow me into Yuqiu."
"I don't want it! Sister Xing'er——"
"I'm not kidding you." Xu Xingxing said seriously, "I definitely won't be able to take care of you then. If anything happens to you during a fight, I'll hate myself to death."
"But I—"
"If you don't agree, I'll leave now. You two won't be able to catch up with me anyway." Xu Xingxing threatened.
"Okay..." Cheng Xue nodded helplessly, then grabbed her sleeve and warned, "Sister Xing'er, be careful. After you rescue Xiao Hei, come to my house. We live in the northwest of Mucheng. It's the one with the biggest door. It says Cheng Mansion on it. You can read, right?"
"knowledge……"
Fang Qi's expression turned speechless again.
Cheng Xue said "Pooh" and said, "Look at my mouth. Sister Xing'er is extremely knowledgeable, how could she not be able to read?"
Xu Xingxing: “…”
"Okay!" Cheng Xue directly took Xu Xingxing's hand, hit it upwards, and said, "We have a deal! Let's high-five as an oath. Sister Xing'er can't break your promise!"
