Symbiotic monsters are the source of Xue Chenjing's power. The first monster he swallowed when he was ten years old was a transparent flower-like creature.

That year, natural disasters continued. First there was an earthquake, then a rainstorm. The surging groundwater surged from the cracks in the ground, flooding large tracts of farmland and houses. Famine and plague took away countless lives.

However, Xue Chenjing didn't know the suffering in the outside world. His parents were wealthy merchants with a deep foundation. They would not collapse because of the hardship of this year.

He and his brother followed their parents to go out to distribute porridge. At the age of ten, they could already help their parents do some things because they had practiced some martial arts to strengthen their bodies since they were young, and their arms were very strong.

Xue Mingyuan rolled up his sleeves and stood in front of a pot, distributing steamed buns and porridge to the refugees queuing up. Xue Chenjing didn't like to do these things at first, but after hearing the gratitude and praise coming from outside, he wanted to do it.

He begged his brother for a long time, and Xue Mingyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and gave up control of his body.

Before letting him go, he reminded him: "Stir the porridge with a spoon before serving it. Don't make it too watery or too dry. It's best to keep everyone's portion about the same. Don't be partial. If they want to serve more after they finish eating, ask them to line up again. Don't let people cut in line, otherwise it will easily cause chaos."

Xue Chenjing listened obediently and responded. After controlling his body, he did as his brother said, stirring the porridge before serving it, not too dry or too watery, and everyone's portion was about the same.

But he felt bored after playing for a while. He didn't understand why these refugees were so grateful for a mouthful of tasteless porridge. He looked around and secretly threw the cakes that his mother had stuffed into their stomachs to fill their stomachs into the porridge pot.

His brother didn't say that he couldn't add some seasonings to it. It should be more delicious if he added some cakes.

The cakes melted quickly in the porridge pot. He poured a spoonful into the bowl of the refugee in front of him. The man walked to the side with the bowl, took a sip from the bowl, and then his eyes widened. He gulped down a few more mouthfuls without caring about the hotness, as if he was not drinking porridge, but some delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

Xue Chenjing looked at the man's happy expression and felt very proud.

The people in front ate in silence, and then one of them got some porridge. After taking a sip, he shouted in surprise: "This porridge is sweet, there is sugar in this pot of porridge!"

This shout was like a drop of water falling into an oil pan, which immediately made a crackling sound. The orderly queues in the porridge stalls suddenly became chaotic, and everyone rushed to him.

Those who were originally queuing here were worried that someone would take away their sweet porridge, so they didn't care about queuing anymore and rushed up one after another, holding their bowls and scooping directly into the pot. Some people even had their bowls squeezed away, so they scooped directly into the pot with their hands, and blood soon appeared in the white porridge.

Xue Chenjing was frightened. He was picked up by the guards beside him, rushed out of the crowd and carried to a safe area.

He sat on the guard's arms with a confused look on his face, not understanding how someone could become a mad dog snatching food for a little porridge with sugar.

This pot of porridge was overturned, many people were injured, and the crying was deafening. In less than a quarter of an hour, people went from being grateful to the Xue family for distributing porridge to cursing them. Everyone looked at them with resentment in their eyes and began to rush towards the guards recklessly to snatch the remaining supplies in the shed.

Xue Chenjing looked at his parents who were drowned in the crowd of refugees. The only two guards who were guarding them were trampled to the ground, and the guards outside could not squeeze in.

His father's head was smashed by the pottery bowl that he had kindly given to the refugees, and his mother's dress was torn. Xue Chenjing finally burst into tears in fear.

At this moment, something responded to his call.

Those transparent, flower-like creatures floated out from the ground, like a waterfall going against the current, and more and more sky lanterns rose into the sky. They gathered together and finally condensed into something as tall as a city wall, which fell to the ground with a bang.

There was a gurgling sound from its soft belly, and transparent ribbons stretched out from its body, overturning the crowd surrounding his parents and killing those who hurt his parents.

The gurgling sound of water startled everyone present, and people shouted that a flood was coming and began to flee in all directions.

But in Xue Chenjing's eyes, this was clearly not a flood. It had a round head, and its long whiskers were floating in the air like a fairy's ribbon, which was obviously very beautiful.

The beautiful ribbons wrapped around him, but wanted to eat him.

Xue Chenjing was thrown to the ground by the frightened guards, and was entangled by the ribbons layer by layer, and dragged into the body of the thing. The thing rushed him everywhere, and it really collapsed many places like a flood and escaped from the city.

This was the first time Xue Chenjing felt the threat of death. He instinctively knew that if he didn't eat it, he would be eaten by it. He opened his mouth and bit it hard, bite by bite, no matter what it was, he tore it off and swallowed it into his stomach. @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

This thing is poisonous, and his consciousness began to be chaotic. In the end, he could no longer hear or see anything. There was only one thought in his mind: he did not want to die.

When he woke up again, there was something else in his body. Those transparent pseudo-feet extended from his body. At first, they were not very obedient, but later they were slowly tamed by him.

From then on, he began to attract more and more monsters, and began to dream, dreaming of his previous life, the previous previous life, and the miserable death in each life.

He and Xue Mingyuan gradually developed a rift.

On one occasion, when Xue Mingyuan took control of his body, he went to a Taoist temple where a monk was practicing in seclusion. He wanted to use the monk's spiritual power to set up a demon-killing formation to kill him.

Unfortunately, the monk's state of mind was not as strong as he thought. When he realized that the demon-killing formation might exhaust his cultivation, he became cowardly.

The monk drew away his spiritual power, the demon-killing formation collapsed, and Xue Chenjing regained his life. He finally felt the threat of his brother again. He imprisoned Xue Mingyuan in his heart and never let him out.

His power increased with the monsters he devoured, so that he could suppress Xue Mingyuan, get a chance to survive in every moment of life and death, and find back what he had lost.

To destroy the demon that coexists with him is tantamount to cutting off one's own arm and ending one's own path.

Xue Mingyuan wrote scriptures with a pen all day long, and his heart was very peaceful.

He was not surprised by Xue Chenjing's choice. It seemed that this master was not so difficult for him to give up.

Xue Mingyuan finished reciting the basic scriptures of enlightenment until he came to the chapter on drawing qi into the body. These scriptures should be enough. If the child of the master of this villa succeeds in drawing qi into the body, an immortal sect will come to accept him as a disciple.

Senior Brother He was tired of fanning the scriptures and dozed off on the side. Occasionally, he was awakened by thunder and shook his wings, then flapped them twice.

Xue Mingyuan walked over and touched its wings, and said gently: "Okay, I'm done, no need to fan it anymore, you can go to sleep peacefully."

He carried the sleeping red-crowned crane to the couch, turned around to take down the dried scriptures, carefully rolled them up and put them in the brocade box for safekeeping.

Suddenly, he heard his brother, who had been quiet all day, say in his heart: "You swear, swear that you will never like her or love her in this life, the next life, all your lives, and eternity."

Xue Chenjing sat in the cage and looked at the oath monument across the crisscrossing silk threads.

It didn't matter. He could destroy his own monster, let others slaughter him, and die again. They had been entangled for so many lives, and he had been killed more than once. He could start over in the next life. It was better than watching her like everyone else, and finally ran to Xue Mingyuan without hesitation.

The system said that this book was a sweet story, but he never tasted the sweetness from beginning to end. Even if he could enjoy a little warmth at the beginning, he would be cruelly torn apart in the end. The protagonist of this book was not him, but his brother.

They would be together in the end, but he just wouldn't allow them to be together.

He couldn't get her, and Xue Mingyuan couldn't get her either, never.

...

Reef islands by the sea.

The lightning here was much more dense than in Liangzhou City. Yu Yi didn't dare to fly, and could only approach the immortal platform on the sea from the dense reefs. Lightning pillars struck from the sky, and the wandering electric light was chaotic in the sea.

Her hair was electrocuted and flew up, and her limbs were numb.

There are other monks on this reef beach. The lightning here is not a tribulation lightning, but just an ordinary lightning. Such a natural minefield is the best tempering field for monks with thunder spirit roots. As long as they can withstand it and not be struck to death by lightning, every lightning strike is a tempering of the spirit roots.

Moreover, this is also the place where the great ascended. To have such a scene of lightning, it can be seen that the predecessor who ascended at that time must have been a monk with thunder spirit roots. If you are lucky enough to see the scene of the great ascending, it will be of great benefit to future generations.

Therefore, every thunderstorm season, it is not uncommon to see monks coming to this reef island to practice. Not far from Yuyi, there is a monk who was struck beyond recognition and almost fell into the sea.

Yu Yi touched the ends of her burnt hair, she estimated that she was now in a similar state to that man. The lightning strikes she could withstand today had reached their limit, her spiritual roots could no longer bear it, she could only retreat, wait until the lightning energy in her body was digested, and then fight again tomorrow.

She left the reef beach, and wanted to find a place nearby to meditate for the night, but after a little thought, she stepped on the green bamboo sword, flew close to the ground, and returned to the villa.

When Yu Yi returned to the villa, the door of Xue Mingyuan's room was still open, and she could see Senior Brother He sleeping paralyzed on the couch in his room. She turned in another direction as she walked towards her room, heading towards the west wing.

Xue Mingyuan came out, looked her up and down with eyes wide open, glanced at the curled hair on her shoulders, and said in surprise: "Is the thunder so powerful?"

Yu Yi was speechless, "I was almost struck silly, and the Ascension Platform is not so easy to climb up."

Xue Mingyuan smiled and asked, "Do you want me to help you trim the ends of your hair?"

Yu Yi lifted her hair and rubbed it casually, "Forget it, I'll go again tomorrow. If I trim it now, I will have to curl it again tomorrow. Besides, there is still electricity in my body, which will hurt you. I came here to take Senior Brother He back, thank you for taking care of it for me."

Xue Mingyuan said, "It's not me who takes care of it, but it takes care of me all day."

Yu Yi showed a surprised look, very curious about how Senior Brother He took care of him.

Xue Mingyuan invited her into the house and showed her the written scripture. "It rained for half a day today. The air was too humid and the handwriting was hard to dry. Senior Brother He helped me fan the scripture for a whole day."

Yu Yi carefully read the scripture, and many topics came up between the two of them. After chatting for a while, Xue Mingyuan saw that she was really tired, so he took the initiative to end the chat and said, "I asked the people in the other courtyard to boil hot water and put it in your room. I think you might use it if you come back."

This approach is really considerate. Yu Yi came back from the reef beach. The seawater on her dress was wet and dry, and it had been marinated for a long time. Even though she had performed the cleansing spell several times, she still felt uncomfortable. She really needed a good bath.

Yu Yi said gratefully, "Thank you."

Xue Mingyuan frowned, looking a little disappointed, and sighed, "You don't have to be so polite to me. I've heard you say thank you so many times. Somehow, I don't feel happy."

Yu Yi looked up at him. Xue Mingyuan was stared at by her, and asked embarrassedly, "Sorry, did I make things difficult for you?"

"No." Yu Yi shook her head. Hearing his apology, she laughed and said, "It's just right, you should say sorry to me less."

Xue Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Okay. There is electricity in your body. Can I help you carry Senior Brother He over?"

"It's okay, let it go by itself." Yu Yi said, walked over, stretched out a finger and touched Senior Brother He's mouth. An arc of electricity shot out from her fingertips, and Senior Brother He was awakened with a snap.

The red-crowned crane fell off the couch and raised its head sleepily. When it saw Yu Yi for the first time, it spread its wings and wanted to hug her. It caught a glimpse of the faint flash of electricity on her body. It was completely awake in an instant, flapped its wings and retreated eight feet away, hiding behind Xue Mingyuan.

"Ga ga ga ga!" Why is it covered with electricity again? It had just combed its feathers with great difficulty!

Yu Yi chuckled and said, "Let's go. Don't stay in other people's rooms. Go back to sleep."

Senior Brother Crane poked his head out from behind Xue Mingyuan, lagged behind Yu Yi for a few steps, and followed her out the door with his slender legs swaying.

The door of the east room closed. Xue Mingyuan put away the smile on his face and sat in front of the window. Through the green banana leaves in front of the window, he looked at another window.

In this life, the next life, all eternity, forever, he can never like her or love her.

Why can't he make such a vow? Isn't this heart moved because of Xue Chenjing?
