In the room,
The window was opened, and something escaped from there just now. Siyang didn't know what it was exactly, but this wasn't the time to think about it.
She hurriedly went forward to help Mei Niang, who was lying on the bed, and didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
After a little investigation, she found that she was only seriously injured and her life wasn't in danger, so she was relieved. She took out a healing pill from her bosom and fed it to her.
She circulated the spiritual power in her palm,
And pressed it against Mei Niang's back to help her heal.
After a quarter of an hour, Mei Niang woke up with a groan.
"Cai Yin, someone stole it."
As soon as Mei Niang woke up, she hurriedly grabbed Siyang and shouted anxiously.
After Siyang entered the door, she also found that the bottle of spirit spring water given to Mei Niang was missing. She suspected that the thing just now had injured Mei Niang for that purpose.
"Don't worry about this." It was just spirit spring water.
Although it was precious,
It had already been stolen, and it was temporarily suppressed. Siyang was afraid that Mei Niang would feel guilty, so she comforted her, "You should heal your injuries first.
I will get it back.
Don't worry. "
In the past ten years, Siyang's cultivation had increased rapidly.
Mei Niang saw it.
She knew that she had this ability, so she wasn't worried about her. Ordinary monsters were no match for her, but …
Mei Niang shook her head and said nervously and worriedly, "Just now, just now, that monster …"
"Hmm?" Siyang frowned and looked at her.
"I've seen that monster before." Mei Niang's face was pale. She didn't know if it was because of her injuries or because she was frightened. She bit her lip and said hesitantly, "That monster suddenly came out from under my bed. At that time, I was absorbing the spirit spring water and had no time to resist. He was seriously injured. He took the thing away. I looked at him and found …"
"Found what?" Siyang also sensed that something was wrong.
"I once saw that monster in Giin Dharmapāṇa's cave." Mei Niang finally spoke, but her expression was a little uncertain. "That's when we pay tribute to Giin Dharmapāṇa every year. I once saw that monster from afar and Giin Dharmapāṇa seem to be very close. Now that he has suddenly appeared here, do you think …"
After hearing her words, Siyang pondered for a moment. Then, she thought of something.
Just as he was thinking about everything, he forgot about one of them.
"I know who it is." Siyang crossed her arms and said seriously, "Giin Dharmapāṇa should have another son. It's just that he couldn't stay in the mountains for a few years, so he left Fenghuang Mountain on his own. He's free and unfettered in the human world. The monster you mentioned is most likely him."
"Then what should we do?" After blurting out this sentence, Mei Niang thought that she was being silly.
So what if he was Giin Dharmapāṇa's son? Not to mention that Siyang had the Lord Goblin behind her. Even if the Lord Goblin wasn't here, with her current cultivation level, that monster was still no match for her. After all, his father Giin Dharmapāṇa had died at Siyang's hands.
Siyang's thoughts were similar to Mei Niang's, but she thought further. It had been more than ten years. That little centipede spirit must have known that she had killed his father, and had even replaced his father as the Mountain Lord of Fenghuang Mountain.
He hadn't appeared for so many years. He was probably suppressing his desire to take revenge for his father.
In Fenghuang Mountain, most of the Little Demon must have recognized him. He didn't dare to show himself, so Siyang didn't have any news about him. However, Mei Niang's appearance gave him the opportunity to do so.
Siyang had been guarding outside the door the whole time. It was impossible for a monster to sneak in under her watch. It must have been there from the beginning. He was quite patient. If she hadn't appeared, that little centipede spirit would have looked for an opportunity to deal with Mei Niang first, and then come for her for revenge.
When Mei Niang entered the house to absorb the spring water, he had an idea. He had injured her and stolen her things. It was really killing two birds with one stone.
"He shouldn't have run far. I'll go catch him." Siyang wasn't the kind of person who liked to let her enemies secretly watch her and wait for an opportunity to bite her. Even if she wasn't afraid of anything, it wouldn't be good to implicate the people around her.
In addition, she didn't like things to escape her control.
Of course, more importantly, that Little Demon was too bold. He actually dared to steal her Demon King's things. If she didn't cut his body into pieces, wouldn't it be too easy for him?
After telling Mei Niang to recuperate and take care of herself, Siyang immediately chased after that thing's aura.
As she chased, Siyang chased into an old forest deep in the mountains. Just as she was about to find a Little Demon nearby to ask if they had seen any suspicious monsters passing by, she heard the sound of fighting in front of her.
She curiously walked forward and pulled aside the branches to take a look. She was stunned for a moment, and her expression was a little strange.
"Heh, more than ten years have passed. Old Daoist, you really haven't improved at all."
In the forest, two figures were fighting back and forth. One of them was a graceful woman in green clothes, and the other was a sloppy old Daoist with a face full of sideburns.
The one who spoke was the woman in green clothes. Her toes tapped on the tree trunk, and she flew down. She pointed the sword in her hand at the old Daoist, and her eyes were full of resentment. "If you want to attack, then attack. This lady came today for revenge. If you show mercy, then only death awaits."
The old Daoist was scolded, but his expression was still calm. He didn't get angry at all. He carried a long sword on his back, but he didn't pull it out. He was also constantly hiding his attacks from the woman in green.
"Miss Xiaoqing, back then, this old man trusted others too easily. That's why your sister Bai Suzhen committed a crime and was imprisoned in Leifeng Pagoda. This old man also bore a part of that crime. All these years, I've devoted myself to cultivating and punishing evil in order to redeem evil creatures. It's already been more than ten years, why do you still want to do it now?"
"You can redeem your crime, but I want to get my revenge." The woman in green sneered. She didn't want to listen to these nonsensical explanations. She only had one thing in mind. She cultivated bitterly for more than ten years just for this day.
The tip of the sword fiercely pierced forward again. The old Daoist didn't know if it was because he felt guilty after hearing the woman's words, but he actually stood in place without moving, as if he wanted to take the sword head-on.
Seeing this, Si Yang flicked out a stream of spiritual power from her fingertips, hitting the woman's sword. The sword body moved and deviated.
"It's been more than ten years since we last met. I trust the two of you have been well."
Xiaoqing discovered that her sword was deflected. She was furious, and just as she was about to find someone to vent her anger on, she saw Siyang slowly walk over with his hands behind his back.
"Benefactor?" Xiaoqing shouted in surprise. After so many years, she still felt grateful to Siyang.
The old Daoist also saw her and was a bit surprised. "Miss Cai Yin, I haven't seen you for many years. You've become even more elegant."
"I can't compare to Yan Daochang … Your cultivation has deepened again. I heard that Ancestor Lu has accepted you as a registered disciple. I really have to congratulate you. It won't be long before you can ascend. When that time comes, you have to take care of this Little Demon." Siyang cupped his hands and smiled at Yan Chixia.
"Miss Cai Yin, you're too serious. My cultivation isn't enough for me to ascend."
Facing her teasing, Yan Chixia couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, it was thanks to Siyang that he was able to receive Ancestor Lu's care. He didn't care that she was indirectly telling him not to forget to repay his kindness.
Xiaoqing listened to the conversation between the two and was shocked. She thought that her cultivation had increased greatly these past few years. She didn't expect that other people's fortuitous encounters weren't small either. She couldn't help but inwardly click her tongue. However, she was still unwilling to accept this and moved closer to Siyang. "Benefactor, the enmity between me and the old Daoist can't be forgotten like this."
Yan Chixia's face was full of helplessness, but seeing that Siyang was there, he didn't say anything.
"Your sister is atoning for her sins under Leifeng Pagoda, yet you're stirring up trouble outside. Do you want to count yourself in as well?" Siyang looked at her sternly. "When you said that you would cultivate in Clear Wind Cave, I only thought that you were cultivating to recuperate and pray for your sister. I didn't expect that you still didn't understand your sister's painstaking efforts."
"How could I not understand? I haven't had a single day of peace for so many years. It's just that there's resentment in my chest." Xiaoqing said unwillingly.
Siyang sneered. "Your so-called revenge is to kill Fa Hai and Yan Chixia."
"Yes." Xiaoqing's face was filled with stubbornness.
"Fa Hai injured your sister more than a thousand years ago. At that time, your sister bit him, so they were even. However, your sister had just transformed and was full of vigor, so she stole six hundred years of his cultivation. Later on, Fa Hai bore a grudge against her. In the end, who can you blame for this? Guanyin sent Bai Suzhen to repay a debt of gratitude, not to commit a sin."
Xiaoqing was scolded to the point that she couldn't find any words to refute. "But …"
Siyang said this because he wanted Xiaoqing to put aside her hatred and resentment for now. In a few more years, Bai Suzhen would become an immortal, and she would follow suit. What was the point? After all, she couldn't do anything to Fa Hai and Yan Chixia.
"Your sister doesn't want you to take revenge. She just wants you to be safe." With a sigh, Siyang's voice softened. "All these years, your sister has been suffering in there. The one she was most worried about was you, Xu Xian, and her child. As their aunt, you didn't even take a look at them. If your sister knew about this, she would be heartbroken."
Xiaoqing didn't say a word. After a long time, she turned her head away to wipe away her tears with reddened eyes.
No matter what, the sisterhood between Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen was indeed touching.
It seemed that he had persuaded Xiaoqing. Siyang looked at Yan Chixia and said with a smile, "I met your disciple not long ago. Yan Daochang, you can rest assured now. Shi 'er is also promising. The pupil has surpassed the master. Even if you ascend, you will have a successor."
Yan Chixia glared at Siyang. He felt that her words were strange. Ascending was a good thing, but she made it sound like … he was going to ascend to the Western Paradise.
"Don't mention that stinky brat. When he causes trouble, he still has to ask me, his master, to help him settle it." Yan Chixia snorted, looking a little proud.
"Oh." Siyang raised her eyebrows. "What happened to him?" Didn't I ask him to find Cui Hung-chien's reincarnation and protect him well? Could it be that he really met a Thousand-Year Tree Demon?
At the mention of his disciple, Yan Chixia frowned and suddenly pulled Siyang.
Siyang pulled her arm back and said unhappily, "Daoist Priest, if you want to talk, just talk. Don't touch me. I'm a demon with a family."
Yan Chixia rolled his eyes at her. "I just want to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Do you know the Old Demon of the Black Mountain in the Netherworld?"
Hmm?
Siyang's expression suddenly became strange, but her expression didn't change. "… You can say that."
Yan Chixia sighed. "Shi 'er said that you were willing to serve the Demon King of the Black Mountain. Your current position as the Mountain Lord of Phoenix Mountain was taught by the Demon King. I just wanted to ask."
"What's wrong with the Demon King?" Siyang felt that there was another message in his words.
"You demons should know that the Old Demon of the Black Mountain in the Netherworld, the Ten Thousand Year Demon King, is about to celebrate his centennial birthday. All the demons are going to celebrate."
Siyang nodded, indicating that she knew about this matter and wanted to see what Yan Chixia had to say.
Yan Chixia cursed Shi 'er again and said hatefully, "That stinking brat said that he's going to the Netherworld to steal the bride. He even asked an old man like me to go with him."
"Tell me, what kind of sin have I committed? I raised him up with a handful of shit and a handful of piss. I didn't get to enjoy the blessing, but I had to wipe his ass."
"Wait …" Siyang raised her hand and grabbed him, her eyes slightly darkening. "What did you just say?"
Yan Chixia was stunned for a moment. "Wipe his ass …"
"No, the sentence before that."
"A handful of shit and a handful of piss?"
Siyang said coldly, "More before that."
Yan Chixia swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that he would be frightened by this Little Demon, but he really answered according to her. "… Go to the Netherworld to steal, steal … the bride?"
"Hehe."
Siyang was laughing, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. Yan Chixia felt that her expression was exceptionally terrifying. Even Xiaoqing, who was hiding at the side and secretly crying, looked over in surprise.
"Go to the Netherworld to steal whose bride?" Siyang continued to grab Yan Chixia and asked.
Her voice was obviously very gentle, but it sounded like an interrogation. Xiaoqing walked over silently with a face full of surprise.
"Benefactor, are you okay?"
Siyang's lips held a faint smile. "I'm fine. Yan Daochang, tell me."
"Go, go steal, that Demon King's bride …" Yan Chixia felt that at this moment, the surrounding air seemed to have stopped.
Xiaoqing keenly felt the danger. She glanced at Yan Chixia and stepped back.
Yan Chixia felt that if the atmosphere continued, he might not be able to hold back and draw his sword.
However, in the next moment, Siyang let go of Yan Chixia. She casually played with the ornament on her waist. She glanced at him and asked, "Isn't it the Demon King's birthday? Why did it change to a marriage?"
Yan Chixia sighed and coughed lightly. "This old man isn't clear about the specifics of this matter. It's just that that stinky brat sent a letter saying that he found the reincarnation of that scholar Cui Hung-chien. However, Mochou's reincarnation became a wandering ghost due to a freak combination of factors. On the fifteenth of next month, she will marry into the Netherworld and become the Black Mountain Demon King's concubine."
As he spoke, Yan Chixia took out a piece of paper from his bosom.
Siyang took it. After carefully looking at the words on it, her palm slowly clenched the piece of paper in the center of her palm.
After a moment of rest, she clapped her hands and that piece of paper turned into flying ash and dissipated into the air.
Yan Chixia and Xiaoqing: "…"
"Since it's a bride kidnapping, then I'll accompany Daoist Priest on this trip." Siyang said to Yan Chixia.
Yan Chixia originally wanted to ask Siyang to accompany them. Not to mention other things, they could have more people to help them in the Netherworld. However, after seeing her actions just now, he actually regretted saying this. He felt that the matter just now wasn't as simple as a bride kidnapping. There was something fishy about it.
Xiaoqing saw that the two had such plans and said, "I still have to go see my sister and Shi Lin. I won't be participating in this matter."
Siyang glanced at her and thought for a moment. "Wait a moment. I have something to do first."
"Hm?" Xiaoqing didn't understand.
Siyang didn't care about what the two beside her thought. She turned around and flew into the depths of this forest. After a while, a series of muffled sounds came from inside. There was also the sound of something roaring.
Xiaoqing and Yan Chixia, who were standing on a high slope in the distance, saw a few thick branches in front of them shake and then fall to the ground.
The two of them looked at each other and tacitly went forward to see what was going on.
When they got closer, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
In the middle of the forest, a purplish-black centipede that was several zhang long was lying on the ground. Its body was constantly rolling and dancing, and its tail was randomly sweeping, causing the surrounding branches and leaves to fly in all directions. Centipedes had legs, and those densely packed legs made one's scalp tingle.
Glancing at the front of the large centipede, on its large red head, there was a purple-clothed woman standing. The woman exerted force with her foot and stepped heavily on the large centipede's head. There was a loud bang that sounded painful.
The large centipede let out a sizzling roar and spat out venom towards the woman. However, with a light wave of her hand, it all missed. Instead, it corroded the fresh grass beside it into withered grass.
The large centipede's actions seemed to have angered the woman. Her eyes turned sharp and her lips curled into a cold smile. She squatted down and then …
Xiaoqing and Yan Chixia stared blankly as the beautiful woman expressionlessly opened her hands and began to pull out the centipede's legs one by one.
The large centipede rolled up and down in pain. However, its large body was pinned to the ground by her slender, jade-like hands. She continued to pull out the centipede's legs one by one.
Savage. It was simply too savage. They couldn't bear to watch.
Xiaoqing touched her seven inches. She was suddenly very glad that she wasn't a centipede spirit. Otherwise, she would have been traumatized.
"Help me give this bottle to Mei Niang Hu, who works in the embroidery workshop near Constable Li's house. That's my older sister. Miss Xiaoqing, if you want to visit Xu Shilin, please help me take care of her."
Siyang handed the jade bottle she snatched back to Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing received it with a pale face.
"Alright." Siyang turned to Yan Chixia and said in a light tone, "Let's go and take a good look at how Lord Goblin is getting married. I'm sure it will be a grand occasion."
Yan Chixia: "…" Weren't they going to steal the bride? How did it become a ceremony?
