Chapter 267 Can You Find Me in the Sea of Flowers? (4000 words)
Twenty feet away from the spiritual spring of Yexue Peak.
Xiao Mo stood behind a tree, his posture as straight and tall as the sycamore tree beside him.
He raised his head and looked at the blue sky through the gaps between the leaves.
Because of the great war, there was not a single cloud in the sky above Wandao Sect.
The sound of gurgling spring water came slowly from behind him, accompanied by the chirping of insects in the mountains and forests, making the place seem even quieter.
After a stick of incense, Xiao Mo heard the sound of fallen leaves being trampled and squeezed behind him.
Turning around, Xue Kui stood in front of Xiao Mo.
After bathing in the spiritual spring, she changed into a clean red dress, and her long hair fell down, slightly moistened by the spring water.
Although her face was still pale, she still gave people a sense of unruly charm.
It seems like this woman is always so proud.
"What? Why are you staring at me? Have you finally realized that I'm good-looking?" Seeing Xiao Mo's gaze on him, Xue Kui raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That's all." Xiao Mo looked calm.
He stared at Xue Kui, not because of her appearance, but because of her increasingly weak life force, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.
"Where are you going?"
Xiao Mo asked.
Xue Kui said he wanted to go out for a walk, so Xiao Mo naturally accompanied him.
But before walking, Xue Kui went to the spiritual spring to bathe and then changed his clothes.
Xiao Mo was waiting at a distance of twenty feet.
"I don't know either, I'll just take a walk."
The Blood King put his hands behind his back and stepped forward with his long legs under his skirt. A breeze blew by, and the skirt stuck to the woman's legs, revealing her almost perfect leg shape. Her small feet in cloud-patterned embroidered shoes were even more restless, kicking the stones in the woods again and again.
This woman who is over three thousand years old now looks like a little girl on an outing.
Xiao Mo didn't say much, just followed her.
The red skirt and the black shirt are obviously contrasting colors, but when they walk together, they look somewhat comfortable.
About an incense stick later, Xue Kui arrived at Wanmo Town of Wandao Sect.
Although a great change had occurred in the Wandao Sect, within one day, the Sect Master of the Wandao Sect passed away, and the top combat forces of the Immortal Realm and the Jade Realm in the sect either died or fled, leaving only 30% of the original number.
But in Wanmo Town, it is still very lively.
After all, most cultivators only have themselves in their hearts. What does it have to do with them what the higher-ups do?
Even if the sky falls, the elders in the sect are still there to hold it up.
Even if the Wandao Sect is gone, it's gone. The worst that can happen is that I can go to another sect.
However, in Wanmo Town, what happened in the morning has become the talk of all the cultivators.
Whether in a roadside liquor store or in a brothel, teahouse, or restaurant full of beautiful women, every monk was talking about it.
When Xiao Mo and Xue Kui were walking on the streets of the town, many cultivators noticed them at the first moment.
These cultivators were all stunned, then stopped and looked at the two of them. Then, as if word spread from person to person, more and more cultivators noticed Xiao Mo and Xue Kui.
They subconsciously made way and didn't dare to approach them, their faces full of tension.
But Xiao Mo and Xue Kui didn't take all this seriously.
"Auntie Fang, give me a pot of mulberry wine."
Walking to a wine shop, Xue Kui shouted to the owner of the wine shop.
"Hey, Xue Kui, how are you? Are you okay? I heard you were seriously injured."
The plump lady boss of the liquor store, wearing an apron, asked with concern
"It's okay, nothing serious." Xue Kui said with a smile, "I just wanted to drink the wine you brewed as soon as I felt better."
After he finished speaking, Xue Kui took off the vermilion wine gourd from his waist. There was a Xue Kui flower printed on the wine gourd.
Xue Kui tossed the wine gourd to the proprietress: "Same as always, fill it up."
"Okay, the jar of mulberry wine I brewed a few days ago is really delicious. I have been saving it for you." Aunt Fang took the wine gourd, opened the seal of the innermost jar of wine, and filled it up for Xue Kui.
"Thank you, Auntie." Xue Kui took the wine gourd and nudged Xiao Mo with his elbow. "Why are you standing there? Pay."
Xiao Mo handed over ten low-grade spirit stones.
When Xiao Mo paid the bill, Xue Kui had already said goodbye to the proprietress and walked away while drinking.
Xiao Mo shook his head and could only follow.
Aunt Fang watched the master and disciple leave, and she couldn't help but clench the spirit stone in her hand, the worry in her eyes no longer suppressed.
After leaving Wanmo Town, Xiao Mo followed Xue Kui to a mountain.
This mountain does not belong to anyone in the sect, it is just an ordinary barren mountain.
However, when Xiao Mo walked deeper, a tombstone appeared in front of him.
The tombstone was inscribed with [The Tomb of Zhou Rushi, the Tenth Peak Master of Yexue Peak]
Xue Kui walked to the tombstone, opened the wine jug, and the clear wine slowly poured out from the gourd mouth, drawing a straight line from left to right in front of the tombstone.
"This place is the tomb of my master, and also your great-grandmaster."
Xue Kui covered the wine gourd, looked directly at the tombstone, and spoke slowly.
"When I was three years old and still ignorant, your master brought me up the mountain.
She taught me martial arts and raised me.
To me, she is not only my master, but also my mother.
But when I was little, I didn’t like her because I thought she was too nagging.”
As he spoke, the corners of Xue Kui's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "Your master was very strict with me, and I was very rebellious when I was a child.
Especially when I learned about my talent, I became even more rebellious.
So, your master often beat me.
She hit me and I fought back.
If he couldn't resist, he would be beaten again.
But I refused to accept it and started to resist again.
In fact, your master's thought at that time was that when I grew up and my realm surpassed that bitch, I would hang her up and beat her!
Let her beat me every day, I will let her taste the feeling of being beaten, the kind that will make her big butt bloom!"
"How filial," Xiao Mo sighed subconsciously, but when he thought about it carefully, this was indeed the style of Xue Kui.
"Too filial? Hahaha." Xue Kui was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, even laughing to the point of tears. "'Too filial' Hahaha, this is the first time I've heard of such a word. You're really good at mocking people, kid."
Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Xuesha's laughter gradually stopped. She took a deep breath and said, "But when I learned that your master had died in the Forbidden Land of Bones, I felt like the sky had fallen.
That day, I sat in the yard for a very long time.
That’s when I realized that old woman was actually very important to me.”
Xue Kui reached out his hand and gently stroked the tombstone: "This mountain is where your master was born. She once said that when she died, I would bury her here.
I couldn't find her body, so I could only build a cenotaph for her, and this is it.
But then the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, and I felt that your master was not dead.
Then I went looking for it.
Finally, I found a secret place.
That was an ancient tomb.
I have no idea how long that ancient tomb has existed or who it belongs to, but the dangers within are so terrifying that even thinking about it now still fills me with fear."
"Inside that ancient tomb, there are many rare treasures, and the magic array inside is extremely profound. Many cultivators have lost their souls as soon as they set foot in the ancient tomb. It was also there that I was seriously injured."
Xue Kui turned his head and looked at Xiao Mo seriously.
"Given Qing Yuan's personality, she must have told you everything while I was unconscious.
Three thousand years ago, after I returned to Wandao Sect, I told Qingyuan that I was seriously injured because I failed to break an ancient magic circle in the ancient tomb.
Actually, I lied to her.”
“There, I encountered the remnant soul of an ancient female cultivator and fought a fierce battle with her. Her use of formations was extremely terrifying.
Although I suppressed her broken body, my own spiritual veins and bones were almost completely destroyed.
Fortunately, I found a forbidden technique in that ancient tomb, which allowed me to exchange my own future for a lifespan of approximately three thousand years.
And the reason I was able to survive from the hands of that remnant soul was thanks to this thing."
After he finished speaking, Xue Kui took out a green jade key from his arms. The key was covered with obscure ancient inscriptions.
"What is this?" Xiao Mo frowned.
"Who knows?"
Xue Kui shook his head.
"This is the token of the peak master of Yexue Peak since its establishment in ancient times. When I was about to die at the hands of that remnant soul, this key shone with a dazzling light.
The ancient female cultivator stood on the ground in a daze, saying "I'm sorry" all the time.
I don't know what happened, but I just had to take advantage of that opportunity to kill her."
"Now." Xue Kui stepped forward and hung the jade key around Xiao Mo's neck. "Under the witness of your master, this key now belongs to you. From now on, Yexue Peak will be handed over to you."
Looking at the jade key, Xiao Mo's expression was a little complicated.
"Okay, I'm a little tired, let's go back." Xue Kui patted Xiao Mo's shoulder and left the mountain.
But when flying back to Yexue Peak, Xuekui's flying speed became slower and slower, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and it looked like he was about to fall asleep.
Looking at the appearance of the Blood Demon beside him, Xiao Mo couldn't help but lower his eyes.
At this time, Sister Qingyuan was still refining the elixir for Xuekui.
But there was only a tiny spark left of Xue Kui's life fire, and he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for Sister Qing Yuan's elixir.
Even if we wait, the pill will be of no use.
"Ah, I'm so tired. Why does it feel like I've been flying for a year?" After returning to the Yexue Peak, Xue Kui crossed her hands above her head and stretched, her dress sticking to her sinuous figure.
"Then let's go back to our room and rest for a while." Xiao Mo said.
"No need." Xue Kui shook his head and looked towards the cliff at the top of the mountain. "Stinky boy, come sit there with me."
"OK."
Xiao Mo and Xue Kui walked to the edge of the cliff.
When Xiao Mo just sat down, Xue Kui let out a "Hey whoosh" and sat on the ground with his back leaning against Xiao Mo.
"Yeah, comfortable."
Xue Kui rubbed Xiao Mo's back and adjusted himself to a comfortable position.
The master and the disciple sat back to back on the edge of the cliff.
Xue Kui rested his head on Xiao Mo's back, gazing into the distance.
A gentle breeze blew through the mountains and forests, carrying the scent of soil and leaves, gently ruffling her hair.
A few birds flew through the sky, and no one knew where they were going.
"You little bastard." Xue Kui called out softly.
"What?" Xiao Mo's tone remained the same as usual.
"Call me Master, please." Xue Kui's lips curled up slightly, his eyes showing an unprecedented gentleness. "I haven't heard you call me that before."
Xiao Mo: “.”
"Call out, shout out, shout out quickly."
Xue Kui said coquettishly, just like she was when she was drunk that night.
Xiao Mo was helpless and could only shout, "Master."
Hearing Xiao Mo's voice, Xue Kui was slightly stunned, then lowered his eyes with a smile: "Shout again."
"Master."
Xue Kui hugged his knees tightly, his eyes slightly moist: "Shout again."
"Master."
"Shout again, louder."
"Master." Xiao Mo called out again, "Master, do you need me to call you a few more times?"
Xue Kui turned around and slapped Xiao Mo on the back of his head: "What's wrong with you calling me Master? Isn't it natural?"
Xiao Mo: “.”
"But..."
Xue Kui leaned against Xiao Mo's body, and raised the corner of his mouth in a beautiful arc: "When you call me Master, it really sounds nice."
Xiao Mo didn't want to pay attention to her, and the two fell into silence again.
"Hey, kid." After a while, Xue Kui spoke again softly, "You said reincarnation, can you become what you want in your next life?"
"Who knows?" Xiao Mo replied, "What do you want to become?"
"Me." Xue Kui shook his head, "I want to become a Xue Kui flower."
"Blood Flower?"
"yes."
Xue Kui nodded.
“My master named me Xue Kui because she found me abandoned in a field of Xue Kui flowers.
In my next life, I will be a flower, that’s also good.
But then again, if I really became a blood flower, could you find me in the sea of flowers?"
"Of course." Xiao Mo nodded, "It should be the ugliest flower in the sea of flowers."
"What are you talking about?"
Xue Kui really wanted to pat him on the back of the head again, but at this moment Xue Kui felt very tired, his eyes felt heavy, and he wanted to sleep.
"I'm not the ugliest one, I'm the most beautiful one." Xue Kui nodded, tugging at the corner of Xiao Mo's clothes, his voice becoming softer and softer. "I'm the most beautiful one."
"No matter if it looks good or not." Xiao Mo could hardly feel the life fire of the woman behind him. "If you really become the Blood Flower, then I will let you bloom in a different Western Region."
"A different Western Region?" Xue Kui's eyes were half closed, and his breath was getting weaker. "What do you mean by a different Western Region?"
"A Western Region with rules." Xiao Mo responded.
"The Western Regions with its rules is really nice."
Her eyes gradually closed, and her voice drifted away like a kite with a broken string.
She gradually loosened her grip on Xiao Mo's fingers, lowered her head slightly, and stopped talking, as if she had fallen asleep.
Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at the blue sky.
"Yeah. That's really good."
