"Come on!!"
Fang Xing saw a hint of hesitation flash across Xiao Xue's expressionless face, but he laughed out loud. With his ability to read people's expressions, he could naturally tell that this Senior Sister Xiao disdained acting. She was truly disgusted.
From the first time they met, Fang Xing discovered that this Senior Sister Xiao's white clothes and white socks were terrifyingly clean, without a single speck of dust on her. She was clearly a person of extreme cleanliness. Even when she occasionally ate in the past, she ate vegetarian food and drank water. She was so clean that she did not eat the food of the mortal world. Thinking about it, it was obvious that this Life Spirit Pill was something that was extremely difficult for her to accept. It would be strange if she did not feel conflicted. Now that she had experienced so many hardships and trials, it was hard for her to waver. Reasoning with her would naturally not be able to persuade her and would only anger her. However, although his words were not reasoning, it was the thing that could affect her decision the most.
He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, "My donkey is finally safe!"
Based on their friendship in the Great Snow Mountain, he could not watch Xiao Xue fall into a demonic path and abandon her. After all, this Thousand Spirit Pill was the most evil technique in the world. Although it could indeed help Xiao Xue recover a portion of her cultivation, no one knew what kind of hidden dangers it would leave behind. Furthermore, Fang Xing was furious when Ye Guyin entered the Red Makeup House. Xiao Xue's actions were even worse than entering the Red Makeup House.
From the moment they met, he had been thinking of how to stop her. From the looks of it, it was temporarily effective …
However, just as he heaved a sigh of relief, Xiao Xue suddenly raised her slender hand. Her long white hair flew out like silver sword lights. At the same time, it enveloped all the villagers and animals around the white jade altar. Her white hair fluttered in the wind and her expression was solemn. She said in a low voice, "Even if I feel disgusted, I still have to refine this batch of Life Spirit Pills!"
"Fuck, why? Did I just say that for nothing? "
Fang Xing jumped up as if his buttocks were on fire. He was already a little exasperated.
With Xiao Xue's current cultivation, if she wanted to forcefully refine these villagers, it was not something that he could stop her.
Earlier, he could still catch her off guard. However, since they had already met face to face, there was no chance for him to make a move.
"… Because compared to disgust, my own life is more important!"
Xiao Xue faintly spoke as if she had already made up her mind.
"Wait, wait, wait. It's not easy for us to meet again. Let's chat for a while more …"
Fang Xing waved his hands to stop Xiao Xue from making a move.
Helplessness could be seen on Xiao Xue's face as she faintly said, "Junior Brother Fang, I know that you have good intentions and want to stop me from becoming a demon. But it's already too late. Once I become a demon, I'll be a demon for life. Even if I stop refining the Life Spiritual Pellet, will others let me off? Hehe, I'm very grateful that you've talked so much with me today. Thank you for your good intentions, but our paths are ultimately different. It's time for you to leave! "
"I'm not leaving …"
Fang Xing chuckled. At the same time, he boldly stretched out his hand and grabbed a strand of Xiao Xue's snow-white hair.
"Junior Brother Fang, I've said all sorts of nice things. Do you really think that I won't put you into the furnace?"
Seeing him like this, Xiao Xue revealed a trace of impatience on her desolate face as endless killing intent rose from her.
"If you dare to put me in, I'll pee in there first!"
Fang Xing's reply was powerful and resonant. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Xue with a rarely seen determination on his face.
Xiao Xue was already abnormally furious. However, she did not break through her rationality and suppressed it bit by bit. Her voice was a little tired and impatient as she coldly said, "If you can't stand my actions, you can leave now. Why must you stop me from refining these mortals into pills? They are not the first batch of pills that I've refined, nor will they be the last batch. You're not a kind person, so why must you stop me? "
"That's because I'm also a mortal …"
Fang Xing bitterly smiled and said, "Senior Sister Xiao, twenty years ago, if it wasn't for an accident, I would probably be like them, living here. In fact, I might even be worse off than them. I could only be like those bandits who had most of their flesh and blood sucked out by you … And this time, I've returned. Everything has changed. At the end of the day, we're not immortals, we're all mortals. You treated them as prey and used them to refine pills. What's the difference between that and eating yourself? If it was someone else, I'd think of a way to kill them. But you … Senior Sister Xiao, you helped me in the Great Snowy Mountain back then. I've always remembered this favor. You used to look so good in the past, with white clothes, white boots, white socks, and even your face was white. You were so clean that you made people like you. What's the difference between that and eating yourself?
As Fang Xing spoke, his voice gradually became louder, "I can smell the blood on your body from thirty miles away. It's too disgusting …"
"You …"
Xiao Xue's eyes widened as if she was about to explode in anger. However, she felt even more disappointed.
The two direct disciples of the Great Snowy Mountain back then, one human and one demon, stared at each other, opposing each other with equal harshness.
"… This is your homeland?"
After a long time, Xiao Xue's killing intent receded a little. However, she hesitantly asked.
Fang Xing nodded his head and smiled, "In fact, the nest you chose is not bad. It just so happens to be my old nest!"
"Your old nest? Nonsense! "
Xiao Xue was slightly stunned. She immediately scolded, as if she did not believe in Fang Xing's words.
"This really is my old nest …"
Fang Xing bitterly smiled and pointed to a ruined cave in the northwest corner, "That's the Loyalty Gathering Hall!" He then pointed to the east, "That's the kitchen. In the past, there was a woman who weighed over a hundred pounds who was cooking there. She would often steal meat to eat. Later on, I discovered it and the two of us stole meat to eat …" He then pointed to the west, "Look over there, there's a large row of houses. The one at the southernmost is where I live …"
"This really is your old nest …"
Xiao Xue was stunned for a moment before she shook her head, "How is that possible? Even if people can live here, it's still a bandit's nest!"
Fang Xing bitterly looked at Xiao Xue and did not speak for a long time.
Xiao Xue also realised that she had misspoken and looked at Fang Xing in disbelief, "You … grew up in a bandit's nest?"
Fang Xing rolled his eyes and said, "What bandit's nest? It's a mountain stronghold!"
"Err …"
Xiao Xue choked for a moment as she thought of Fang Xing's way of doing things. She bitterly smiled, "Indeed, it's because of your family's profound knowledge …"
However, after discussing this matter, Xiao Xue and Fang Xing were suddenly stunned at the same time as they realised a problem. Xiao Xue blurted out, "If this isn't a secret place of a demonic cultivator, then who left the Life Transformation Pill and the Demonic Scripture here? Could it be that Junior Brother Fang, you were the successor of a Great Sage of the Demonic Sect in the past? "
Fang Xing firmly shook his head and said, "In the past, there were murderous demons and perverted demons here. However, there weren't any demons that ate humans!"
Regarding this question, the two of them fell into silence. Neither of them had a clue.
After a long time, Xiao Xue lightly shook her head and said, "Let's not think about this question for now. Since I've already stepped on this path, I have to continue walking it. After consuming the first Life Transformation Pill, my cultivation recovered by 30%. If I continue to consume it, my cultivation will gradually recover even more. Furthermore, I'll be able to use demonic techniques. However, if I don't consume it, my cultivation will drop at a terrifying speed …"
Speaking up to here, Xiao Xue lightly sighed and said, "Junior Brother Fang, thank you, but I have no other choice!"
From the looks of it, she was going to chase them away again.
However, Fang Xing immediately became angry and said, "Why don't you listen to me? Even if you want to recover your cultivation, do you have to eat humans? The Life Transformation Pill doesn't only require humans to be living beings. It's fine for you to eat other things as well. Although the effects are slightly weaker, it should still be effective, right? You should just let these people go. I'll help you find some good ones in the future so that you can eat your fill! "
"The Life Transformation Pill requires humans to be the catalyst …"
Xiao Xue indifferently replied before she softly sighed, "Furthermore, I don't have any more time!"
Fang Xing was slightly stunned. He felt that she seemed to have something that she couldn't say.
As expected, after a brief pause, Xiao Xue still said it, "Although this is a lawless place, the news of me refining demons here has already spread. Recently, many people have come to harass me. After they were repelled by me, I believe that a large number of demon-slaying cultivators will soon arrive. Haha, everyone has the right to kill demon-slaying cultivators. If I don't continue to raise my cultivation, am I just going to throw my life away?"
Fang Xing said, "I'll just hide from them and flee before they come …"
"I won't leave!"
Xiao Xue's reply was extremely indifferent, but her tone was firm. "Among the cultivators that came to subdue demons a few days ago, one of them is from my Xiao Clan. He came to find me because he wanted to capture me. However, he never expected that I would cultivate a demon. Even though I've recovered most of my strength, he's no longer my opponent. When he returns, he will definitely inform my Xiao Clan of this news. I'm here to wait for them!"
"The Xiao Clan … still wants to capture you?"
Fang Xing's eyes flickered as he asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Xue faintly smiled. "I believe that they don't want to capture me anymore. They just don't want others to know about the Xiao Clan's previous reputation. The genius sword cultivator, Xiao Xue, has now become a man-eating demon-slaying cultivator, the White Demon …"
Fang Xing was slightly stunned. He had already understood Xiao Xue's words. His brows sank as he pondered for a moment before he gently smiled.
"Senior Sister Xiao, do you believe me?"
Fang Xing chuckled as he asked Xiao Xue.
Xiao Xue was slightly startled. She glanced at Fang Xing and faintly said, "So what if I believe you? So what if I don't believe you?"
Fang Xing clapped his hands and smiled. "If you believe me, then you don't need to endure the disgust of eating humans. You also don't need to worry about those fellows that came to subdue the demons. Leave everything to me. Haha, back then, we risked our lives in the Divine Continent and they took advantage of us. Now that we're crippled, I want to see if they still have any conscience. If they really don't care about our past relationship … haha …"
His voice suddenly lowered. "I can give Nan Zhan a chance to live, but I can't destroy their luck?"
Xiao Xue was slightly startled. She looked at Fang Xing with a confused gaze.
This little demon that once gave others the impression that he was omnipotent. Although he no longer had his cultivation, no one dared to ignore him!
Xiao Xue's heart was in turmoil. After thinking for a long time, she made a decision. "I believe you!"
Fang Xing also nodded his head. "That's good. In my territory, I'll protect you!"
…
…
In the end, the villagers and Fang Xing's donkey managed to escape with their lives. After the net was let off, they thanked him profusely and supported each other as they left. As for Xiao Xue, she was meditating on the white jade altar. As for Fang Xing, he wandered around the Ghost Smoke Valley that he hadn't returned to for a long time. Everything he saw was both foreign and familiar at the same time. It also made him recall many things from the past. As he wandered around, he sighed.
He wanted to find the corpses of the nine uncles, but he couldn't find them. Twenty years had passed. What he could dig out from the dust were only some broken bones. It was hard to identify them. So he simply piled the corpses into a huge pit and piled up nine graves. He couldn't even be bothered to erect a tombstone for each of them. He only erected one tombstone with the words "Fang Xing's nine uncles" written on it.
After doing all of this, he sat down and stared blankly for a while before letting out a long sigh.
At this moment, the sky turned bright in the east. The clouds gathered and a spiritual light appeared in the east.
Xiao Xue, who had been meditating on the white jade altar, suddenly opened her eyes and lightly said, "They're here!"
