Zhao Ke said: "Little guy? Not obedient? What does that mean..."
He instinctively looked at Shen Qiqi beside him, but saw her stunned in place, her almond eyes widened, and her fair cheeks turning red at a visible speed.
Zhao Kexin: "..." Okay, no need to ask, he should have known who it was.
Shen Qiqi covered her hot cheeks, unable to meet the eyes of the other two people, and suppressed the excitement in her heart. She stuttered: "Is my senior sister okay? Did Situ Yun bully her? Did she say anything?"
"Little guy, you have too many questions." Ji Zhihua said, "But the young master didn't say anything else."
Shen Qiqi slumped her shoulders in disappointment and muttered: "Oh..."
Seeing this, Zhao Kexin kindly comforted her: "Weren't you going to find Senior Sister Liu? Save these questions to ask her in person."
"Senior Brother Zhao is right." Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and regained her momentum. She looked at Ji Zhihua hesitantly and said, "Miss Ji..."
Seeing Ji Zhihua's displeased expression, she quickly changed her tone and said, "Miss Ji, you appeared so openly here, won't you be seen by Shuijing?"
"No problem." Ji Zhihua said calmly, "I have been concealing my magic power and figure since just now. What they see now is just an ordinary disciple who followed you all the way."
Shen Qiqi choked: "...Wait a minute, isn't a stalker not much better than a demonic cultivator?!"
Ji Zhihua saying she's just an ordinary disciple who followed them is not entirely accurate. With a wave of her hand, hundreds of zombies rushed up, and the scene was as magnificent as the Spring Festival travel rush. It is said that these zombies look like ordinary spiritual beasts in the Shuijing, with thick skin, long health bars, able to fight and take care of people, and have many uses.
With a Nascent Soul expert following them, it's like using a cheat code. They defeated any demon or spiritual beast they encountered along the way, even if they were evenly matched, they could use the strategy of slowly grinding them down with their numbers.
The cute and obedient appearance of these zombies made Shen Qiqi full of envy, and she suddenly wanted to have one for herself.
The black eagle on her shoulder seemed to sense what she was thinking and lowered its head to rub against her cheek, tickling her.
Shen Qiqi raised her hand and lightly stroked its feathers, which were as silky and smooth as black mist and flowing water. She took out a bag of dried earthworms from her storage bag and pulled out one in front of the black eagle.
The black eagle glanced at it disinterestedly and shook its head.
Black Eagle glanced over and shook its head disinterestedly.
"Don't like it?" Shen Qiqi took out a lively little wild rabbit and muttered, "Why are you still picky?"
Black Eagle chirped twice and seemed to like it this time, flapping its wings and grabbing the rabbit's ears in its mouth. The white rabbit struggled with its short legs as it was being eaten in a curious way. Black Eagle suddenly opened its beak, swallowed the rabbit in one bite, and then slowly digested and devoured it like a snake. The rabbit disappeared completely into its body made of black mist, leaving no trace on the ground.
Shen Qiqi watched and felt that this eating method was not wasteful and clean. She joked with Black Eagle's beak, "How come you sound like a little chick!"
Black Eagle burped, folded its wings, and picked a good spot on Shen Qiqi's shoulder with its feet, squatting down again.
Zhao Ke was surprised and asked, "Junior Sister, did you bring the rabbit with you?"
"My senior sister raised it before, and I thought it was cute so I brought it with me. I didn't expect to use it." Shen Qiqi said, "I originally wanted to play with it, but it's cheaper to use it this way."
Zhao Ke and Ji Zhihua looked at each other.
Ji Zhihua frowned and said, "You fed your senior sister's rabbit to the bird. Won't she be angry? If someone dares to touch my baby, I'll cut her on the spot!"
"It's okay," Shen Qiqi blinked her eyes, "...it was originally raised to be eaten. I said I wanted to eat spicy rabbit head before, so she caught a few rabbits back. Later, she got tired of it and started raising them for fun."
Zhao Ke looked suddenly enlightened, while Ji Zhihua smiled ambiguously and said, "If you want the stars and the moon, will she pick them for you too?"
Shen Qiqi blushed again and whispered, "...it's not that extreme." The stars and the moon are fit for a beauty, it's just picking them for my senior sister!
The three of them chatted and walked together, arriving at a small lake. The temperature here was cooler than other places, like bathing in a gentle spring breeze that made people feel clear and comfortable, as if all the impurities and desires inside the body had been washed away.
Zhao Ke stopped and concentrated, suddenly showing a surprised look, "Great! This is a natural spirit vein!"
A spirit vein is a geomantic treasure that gathers a large amount of spiritual energy and cannot be sought. If a cultivator practices and adjusts here, they will get twice the result with half the effort.
Shen Qiqi scanned around and worriedly said, "Is this not another Mirage Turtle?"
Black Eagle jumped down from her shoulder, flapped its wings, and quickly flew towards the center of the lake. The people saw it gently touching the surface of the lake with its beak, then turned its head and chirped at Shen Qiqi, as if saying everything was okay.
The three of them followed Black Eagle towards the center of the lake and found a real spirit vein.
The three of them settled down by the lake and sat cross-legged to rest.
Shen Qiqi cupped a handful of water with her hands, lowered her head and slowly drank it all. She felt a surge of vigorous and gentle spiritual power flowing through her meridians, reaching her dantian where it turned into experience points, and her cultivation level increased significantly.
She exclaimed, "Indeed, this is a feng shui treasure land, there are treasures everywhere!" She continued to drink water, and even took out several large wooden barrels to fill up.
Zhao Ke could not help but laugh and cry, "Junior Sister, be careful, if you drink too much, the spiritual energy may backlash and be difficult to digest."
"I'm not drinking for myself, these are all for Senior Sister," Shen Qiqi replied, still scooping water by the lake without lifting her head.
Ji Zhihua praised her, "Good, you have both love and righteousness!"
After resting for a while, as they began to relax, Shen Qiqi suddenly felt a bit sleepy and lethargic.
Seeing this, Ji Zhihua said with a smile, "It's okay, you can sleep. I'll call the undead out to keep watch." Dozens of undead rose from the ground and stood in a row not far away, like loyal soldiers. Passing crows and vultures hastily avoided them, looking like they had seen ghosts.
Zhao Ke also said, "Junior Sister, take a break. It's hot now, we can wait until after noon to continue our journey."
Originally, Shen Qiqi wanted to find Senior Sister on the mountain first, but she was too sleepy and decided to take a short nap instead. She took out a hammock from her Qiankun bag and tied it to a tree. She snuggled up to her black eagle, and soon fell asleep.
The dreamland was like a bottomless abyss, dark and without end. Gradually, a familiar voice came, "Shen Qi...Shen Qi..."
Shen Qiqi perked up her ears and rushed towards the sound. After a moment, she finally saw a white figure in front of her, and she became angry and started to beat him up. "Old man! You almost killed me and Senior Sister, do you know that?!"
"Hey, hey! Be gentle!" The old man protected his face with his hands and screamed, "Why are you in such a hurry? You won't die, will you?"
"I'll beat you to death...ah? What?!" Shen Qiqi stopped her actions and widened her eyes, "I won't die?"
The old man stepped back a few steps and kept his distance, looking embarrassed as he stroked his beard. "I already told you, your spiritual power comes from the origin of the Heavenly Dao! The Heavenly Dao is pure and righteous, and how can an ordinary person compare to it? In theory, as long as your dantian is not destroyed, your physical body can be repaired slowly with the pure spiritual energy."
Oh well, this "golden finger" actually sounded quite good, and Shen Qiqi could accept it.
"Oh, this golden finger doesn't sound too bad, it's acceptable," said with surprise.
Shen Qi Qi kicked him again and asked, "Why did you suddenly cut off my spiritual supply when maintaining the firewall that day?"
"Of course, it was to kill Liu Shuang!" The old man was furious and said, "Don't you remember the fate of the 24 immortals in the Heavenly Realm? She personally crushed the origin of the Heavenly Dao and broke through the Heavenly Realm! She wants to kill the immortals and overthrow the gods! This act was extremely shocking, and she cannot be left in the world!"
Shen Qi Qi was also angry and said, "Did you do it on purpose? You knew I liked her, how could you bear to do it? I'm not so noble as to care whether the gods in the sky live or die! I just want her to be safe!"
The old man sneered, "You wish! She cannot coexist with the Heavenly Dao and must die. When the Heavenly Dao is shattered, you will undoubtedly die, and there will be no possibility of reincarnation."
Shen Qi Qi's face changed. Does this mean that Liu Shuang and the Heavenly Dao must have a winner and a loser, and someone has to die? Isn't this a dead end?
She immediately protested, "I'm not doing it anymore. Just replace me with someone else. Find me a new body, and I'll just be an ordinary person!"
"You think I don't want to replace you?" The old man blew his beard and stared, "As the supreme creator, only you can handle the power of the origin of the Heavenly Dao. You can't just find anyone to replace you!"
Shen Qi Qi narrowed her eyes and scrutinized him thoughtfully, "Then who are you? Don't tell me you are also the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao."
"Hmph, the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao? You ignorant child!" The old man was proud and said, "I am Nanming Xianjun!"
Shen Qi Qi carefully recalled the plot in the book, and some memories faintly emerged in her mind.
The Nanming tribe where Nanming Xianjun resides is the guardian of the Heavenly Dao order, maintaining the balance of the Heavenly Dao rules and the cycle of the six realms for thousands of years.
The immortals in the Heavenly Realm each have their own responsibilities, such as controlling water, fire, wind, and rain, while the Nanming tribe was born to maintain the operation of the Heavenly Dao, and everyone in the world must accept their judgment. Anyone who disrupts the order will attract thunder and stone fire from the sky. In the original book, Liu Shuang fought her way to the Heavenly Realm and endured eighty-one thunder and fire from Nanming Xianjun.
"So, you're also an immortal," Shen Qi Qi snorted, "No wonder you're so arrogant... Can immortals just harm people at will?"
"Liu Shuang is not an ordinary person. She will become the invincible Demon Lord in the future!" Nanming Xianjun gritted his teeth and said, "She causes destruction and slaughter everywhere... As a naive god like you, you dare to think of protecting her!"
...
Wild mountains, Futu Cave.
Wild mountains, floating pagoda cave.
The huge body of the demon beast collapsed with a loud noise. Liu Shuang pulled the long sword from its body with a flick, and there was a sound of flesh tearing as some vague flesh and blood came out from the wound. She turned and left, casually wiping the blood off the sword.
She injured this group of demon beasts, dismembered and skinned them, but did not give them a fatal blow. Instead, she waited for them to bleed to death right in front of her. Seeing the dying beasts at her feet, Situ Yun, who was behind her, sighed inwardly, "She is obviously a righteous person, but more ruthless than a demon cultivator. How deep is her hatred..."
While he was thinking, Liu Shuang glanced at him and suddenly said, "Situ Yun."
Her voice was clear and cold, as if she could see through people's hearts. He immediately came to his senses and nervously replied, "Miss Liu, what's the matter?"
Ignoring his anxiety, Liu Shuang took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it over, saying, "Help me look up some text."
Situ Yun took the white paper and looked at the text on it, surprised, "I happen to be familiar with these words."
"Do you recognize them?" Liu Shuang asked.
Situ Yun shook his head, "Not entirely, I read some miscellaneous books a long time ago, and I have a little understanding of it."
Liu Shuang frowned, "Then, what are these characters?"
"These should be ancient language from the heavenly realm, a long time ago. The book's author said they were left behind during the creation of the world, who knows?" Situ Yun laughed, "If it's really about the creation of the world, who were they talking to? The wild beasts in the mountains?"
Liu Shuang pursed her lips and thought, "... the heavenly realm?"
Situ Yun said, "Yes, these characters are extremely complex, it's obvious that they were created by those old stubborn people in the heavenly realm. We don't have such complicated characters in the demon realm! Let me see... I only recognize one of the first two characters, which should be 'Heaven,' and the other two are 'Demon Lord.' I don't know much about the rest."
Liu Shuang lowered her eyes and whispered, "That's already enough. Thank you."
"I don't know where Miss Liu saw the ancient language from? This text is quite rare, and there are few books that talk about it these days." Situ Yun laughed lightly, "If you don't mind, I can take it back to the demon realm and ask someone who specializes in ancient languages. There should be people there who are still studying them."
"Okay," Liu Shuang nodded, "Thank you for your trouble."
Situ Yun carefully put away the white paper and said, "Ah, you don't have to be so polite. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I..."
At that moment, a deafening shout came from the cave entrance, reverberating endlessly in the long tunnel, "Young Master - Young Master -"
"Who's there?" Situ Yun's beautiful eyebrows frowned, impatiently saying, "Come in."
A demon general in armor ran into the cave, shouting repeatedly, "Young Master! Young Master!"
"A armored demonic general rushed into Dongzhong and kept shouting, 'Young Master! Young Master!'"
Liu Shuang turned to look at him. Situ Yun glanced over and said, "Stop yelling and say what you have to say."
"The news came from Ji Zhihua, she said she's already caught up with Shen Qi Qi," the demonic general kneeled down and said loudly, "However, according to her, Shen Qi Qi is coming to find Miss Liu and is already on the way."
Liu Shuang was stunned, "She's coming to find me? Does she know the way?" She originally thought that Shen Qi Qi would continue to explore forward and didn't expect her to come looking for her!
The demonic general hesitated, "It seems like she knows."
Situ Yun cursed angrily, "Damn it, where is she now?"
The demonic general cautiously said, "She's almost at the foot of the mountain."
Isn't this terrible?! What if little junior sister comes in and sees this scene...
Liu Shuang lowered her head and looked at herself, who was still unharmed, and then looked at the pile of Jin Dan stage demonic beasts at her feet, falling into an unspeakable silence.
