Chapter 1256 - 1256: Untitled
The way the Demon Lord took care of Yan Xiaosi wholeheartedly and the way Yan Xiaosi accepted his care without warning made people think of one word—suitable.
Yes, the two of them were indescribably suitable together.
Yan Xiaosi ate well like a little fat squirrel, her eyes sparkling, but the Demon Lord’s eyes were focused and gentle.
The Holy Master’s eyes flickered.
The combination of a demonic cultivator and a righteous cultivator was not protected by the Heavenly Dao, but strictly speaking, Yan Xiaosi was not a righteous cultivator. Actually, the Holy Master could not say what she was, but she was definitely a unique existence in the world.
In so many years, Zhou Jin’s life was only less than twelve years of cultivation. It was almost not worth mentioning compared to his lifespan.
Therefore, those were emotions that he shouldn’t have. It was his longing for the mortal world. It was a failure of cultivation.
However, someone as proud as the Holy Master would never allow himself to fail.
He was the Holy Master, not Zhou Jin.
When the Holy Master appeared in front of Yan Xiaosi and the Demon Lord again, his expression had already returned to its usual coldness.
Yan Xiaosi handed the remaining rabbit leg to him. “Holy Master, do you want some?”
“No need,” he said expressionlessly.
“Oh.” Yan Xiaosi turned to look at the Demon Lord. “Brother Xiao Zhao, are you still eating?”
“You can eat,” the Demon Lord said dotingly to Yan Xiaosi as he glanced at the Holy Master.
Yan Xiaosi obediently ate the remaining rabbits.
. She wasn’t full.
Of course, the Demon Lord knew that she was not full. Now that her strength had awakened, the spiritual energy in her body was circulating rapidly and she had exhausted a lot of energy. The spirit pets of the lower realm could no longer satisfy her needs. He had to find something to eat as soon as possible. Otherwise, she would really go hungry.
“Let’s go,” the Demon Lord said.
Yan Xiaosi did not know that the two of them were looking for food for her, but she did not object to traveling late at night.
The three of them continued southeast. After walking for another hundred miles, they really made a discovery. It was an inn. Although it was a little dilapidated and did not look like the previous buildings at all, this was already very good compared to being deserted.
Not all the people from the previous batch were powerful ascenders. Some of them had ascended here and had a beloved dao companion. They had children, so they had descendants.
Among these descendants, some were born with natural endowments, while others were no different from ordinary people. Even those with natural endowments had to cultivate very hard to reach a satisfactory realm.
Of course, because of the rich spiritual energy, the cultivation speed of the upper realm was generally faster than the lower realm.
The waiter of this inn was a Great Void Stage cultivator.
The Great Void Stage was an existence surrounded by stars in the Holy Land, but here, he could only be a waiter.
The inn was open.
However, it was late at night and the inn was quiet. When the three of them arrived, the waiter was in a daze. Hearing footsteps, he turned around and saw two newly ascended cultivators. He was not very enthusiastic and said indifferently, “There’s no food. You can only stay here. One spirit stone per room. ”
The Demon Lord casually threw him four spirit stones, one more than usual.
The waiter looked at the sparkling spirit stones on the table and his eyes instantly widened.
Spirit stones were actually divided into grades. They ranged from grade seven to grade one. Grade seven had the most impurities, and grade one was the purest. Most of the spirit stones used to make goods on the market were grade six to grade four. Grade one spirit stones were really rare.
The waiter’s attitude instantly changed. He put the three spirit stones into his drawer and put the extra one into his pocket. He smiled at the three of them.
Only then did he realize that the three of them were too extraordinary.
In this place that only looked at strength and not appearance, no one would care about how a person looked. If they still cared, it could only mean that the other party was indeed good at seeing a certain level.
“Have you seen enough?” The Demon Lord asked dangerously.
The waiter instantly came back to his senses. Usually, the natives would not take the new ascender seriously. However, since the other party could take out four grade one spirit stones at once, it meant that he had a rich foundation and might be a disciple of a large sect.
For example, after the founder of the Long Blade Sect ascended, he established a new Long Blade Sect. In the future, if there were any more ascenders in the sect, they could directly enter the previous Long Blade Sect.
He wondered which faction the three of them belonged to.
Was it the Myriad Sword Sect or the Hundred Flowers Palace? In terms of foundation and strength, the Myriad Sword Sect was number one. However, in terms of looks, who was more beautiful than the Hundred Flower Palace?
If it was the people from these two palaces…
The waiter rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, “You’re also going to the mystic realm to search for treasures, right? To be honest, I have a way here. If the three of you need a guide, I can introduce you.”
“What treasure?” Yan Xiaosi was curious and could not help but be interested. “It’s Lingzhi Grass. Aren’t the three of you here waiting for Lingzhi Grass?” “What’s there to wait for? I have a lot of Lingzhi Grass in the back mountain!”
When the waiter heard their tone, he knew that they were not here to search for treasure. However, on account of the grade one spirit stone, he might as well explain to the three of them, “This is not ordinary Lingzhi grass, but a treasure from the ancient mystic realm.”
There were also many mystic realms in the Holy Land, but it was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns that were related to ancient times. Other than the opportunities of the three little eggs, no one else had encountered any ancient mystic realms.
Of course, the treasure in the ancient mystic realm was not an ordinary treasure. However, what caught their attention was not the Lingzhi Grass itself, but such a precious treasure. Usually, it would be guarded by a spirit beast. If it was an ancient treasure, then the one guarding it should also be an ancient spirit beast.
“Where is the mystic realm?” The Holy Master asked.
The waiter rubbed his thumb and index finger.
The Holy Master was at a loss. The Demon Lord understood in a second and gave him another first-grade spirit stone.
The waiter smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits. He put away the spirit stones and said, “It’s not far from our inn. If you go east, you’ll be there in twenty miles! The treasure hasn’t moved yet, so the three guests don’t have to be anxious. You just have to stay in the inn first. Our people are already guarding the mystic realm. Once the treasure shows signs of appearing, they’ll immediately send news to the inn!”
Yan Xiaosi did not know that there were ancient spiritual beasts to eat. She was not interested in herbs and drooped her head to yawn. Seeing that she was sleepy, the Demon Lord asked the waiter, “Where’s the room?”
The waiter brought the two of them to the second floor. The two rooms were connected, and the other room was slightly separated.
“Stay over there!” The Demon Lord said to the Holy Master without hesitation.
The Holy Master did not say anything and left expressionlessly.
Yan Xiaosi looked at the little resentful couple strangely and asked weakly, “Did you fight?”
The Demon Lord : ‘
Although Yan Xiaosi was causing trouble in the Holy Land, she was still a little homesick when she was outside. She lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. The Demon Lord flashed in and sat down by her bed. “Can’t you sleep?”
Yan Xiaobao nodded. “Yes, I miss Dad and Mom. There’s also Brother Dabao,
Brother Er’bao, Brother Xiaobao.”
The Demon Lord looked at her dotingly. “Do you want to listen to a song?”
Yan Xiaosi thought for a while. “Yes.”
She thought that he would take out the golden flute and play it. Unexpectedly, he took out a xun. His slender fingers picked up the xun and brought it to his lips. The simple music came out faintly with a trace of melancholy, like the distant mountains and small moons, pouring out his heart.
Yan Xiaosi looked at him steadily. For a moment, she felt a trace of loneliness from him. “Brother Xiao Zhao, where are you from? What are your parents like? Do you have any siblings?”
“No.” He said.
He blew the xun in his hand again. He was a child that no one wanted. He was thrown into the blood pool by his mother when he was born. He was an evil being and a demon. He was an existence that could not be tolerated in the world.
Yan Xiaosi fell asleep under his music.
The Demon Lord covered her with a blanket and silently walked out of the room. He did not leave, but stayed outside the door. He placed his hand on the railing of the corridor and quietly looked in the direction of the hall on the first floor. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He held his chest and circulated a spiritual energy with his other fingertip, tapping it into his dantian.
Suddenly, a white light attacked and entered his dantian with his spiritual energy, finally suppressing his palpitations.
“What’s wrong with your body?” The Holy Master walked over indifferently.
“There’s no need for you to meddle!” The Demon Lord did not plan to thank the Holy Master for his actions just now.
The Holy Master stopped beside him and glanced at him. He also followed his gaze to the dark hall. “It’s not so easy to absorb the Old Demon Lord’s power. Moreover, he wanted to destroy… Yan Xiaosi back then, so his demonic bead is filled with violence. If you don’t absorb it, your body will reject it. If you completely absorb it, you will lose your mind and go crazy to death. If I were you, I wouldn’t choose to ascend, nor would I easily use my power.” “Hmph.” The Demon Lord snorted.
The Holy Master said, “I can go to the mystic realm alone.” The Demon Lord said domineeringly, “I’ll raise my own woman!”
