Cold Clouds

Ever since Lin Xiaoxiao realized that she would eventually become the most rebellious and evil cultivator in the underworld, she became even more relaxed.

Since I know that I will definitely become a half-step-to-virtual-refining god of the lower realm in the future, why should I work so hard? Anyway, Ye Lan and Song Hanyun, the two sons of destiny, will back me up in the matter of the Black King's Palace, so I can do whatever I want, right?

"Hehehe~" Lin Xiaoxiao was walking on the street in a good mood. She bought two strings of candied haws and was jumping around while eating.

When you are in a good mood, you can do anything comfortably. Lin Xiaoxiao walked into a store and bought some useless but interesting gadgets, such as small corals and fish tanks in fish tanks. However, Lin Xiaoxiao did not raise fish that could not be eaten, so she also bought a fish.

"This is delicious. I'll bring some back to Song Hanyun and the others later." Lin Xiaoxiao was feasting in a private room of a restaurant when a figure suddenly appeared opposite her.

Xuan Ming, who was hanging on Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulder, had already stood up and stared at the man. After observing for a while, Xuan Ming directly took a posture to fight back.

"Don't be so formal. I'm not here to kill you." The man in front of Lin Xiaoxiao was wearing a black gauze hat. The voice seemed to be transmitted directly to Lin Xiaoxiao's mind, and Lin Xiaoxiao also saw the man's appearance clearly at this time.

His exposed right hand was dry and old, with some cracks on the skin, his left sleeve was empty, his body was hunched, but his tone of voice was full of energy.

"Come to think of it, I haven't introduced myself yet," the old man reached out and picked up a cup of tea, "Can I drink this tea? I see it's just been served, you probably haven't had it yet, right?"

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and looked at the old man who was drinking tea and eating meat in front of her with a strange look.

"My name is Lu Jinhua. Ah, this name used to be quite famous. It seems you don't know it." Lu Jinhua didn't look up, but he seemed to have seen Lin Xiaoxiao's astonishment. His tone was quite helpless and sad. "Well... now, the names 'Black King' or Tian Can are more familiar, right?"

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't hold the chicken leg tightly enough and it fell onto the plate with a clang. Then she raised her head and looked at Lu Jinhua with puzzled, shocked and bewildered eyes.

"Huh?" Lin Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and almost jumped up.

Lu Jinhua seemed very happy. Although I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, his tone was obviously much lighter: "Oh, you are really famous! Haha!"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the weird old man in front of her with a strange expression. She really didn't believe that this man was the ultimate big devil written in the book, because now it seemed that this guy was no different from the boastful old man neighbor in her previous life.

"Okay, okay, let's get back to the point. Don't worry, I've set up a barrier. Although I don't have much power left, it should be able to stop others from eavesdropping." Lu Jinhua coughed twice and took a bite of the roasted chicken. "Uh... everyone should have heard of it by now, right? The last words of the 'Black King', something like 'defying the will of heaven and ascending to heaven.'"

"That actually has nothing to do with me," Lu Jinhua shrugged. "The last words I said before I died were, 'Ah, it's over, damn God, I didn't even have a chance.' Then I got my head chopped off by a thunderbolt."

"I'm not a good person, but... I hate it when people use my name to cheat people," Lu Jinhua smacked his lips. "What you see now is my physical body. Although my cultivation is gone, it is definitely my will that I am here to talk to you."

"The 'me' in the Black King's Palace is actually a bastard from nowhere who stole my cultivation and spiritual body," Lu Jinhua took another bite of the chicken, "Ah, don't doubt where the food went. I have already reattached my head, although the face hasn't grown back yet."

"Because that unknown guy took away my cultivation and spirit, I am now only left with this remnant soul," Lu Jinhua took a sip of tea and said to himself, "But he can't erase me. After all, he still has to rely on my spirit to survive. So, I am alive until now because of him, haha!"

"But... it's still really annoying! So I came here to look for you to cooperate with me this time," Lu Jinhua leaned back in his chair, "The last time I looked for someone to cooperate with was... ah, that person was... Ye Yuxie, right? You look quite similar to her."

"So...are you interested?" Lu Jinhua pulled off a chicken leg and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, "Are you really listening?"

"Well, I'm listening," Lin Xiaoxiao yawned. This old man talked just like her old leader before, endlessly, without even room for others to interrupt. "Anyway, you want to kill him, and you can't do it, so you ask me for help?"

"It's like this, oh..." Lu Jinhua scratched his hat, "My brother was deceived by him. The Black King Palace is clearly a soul refining vessel. When that person gathers all the elements, all the souls in it will become his nutrients. By then, he may even be able to tamper with the rules of heaven!"

"If everyone in the world is an evil cultivator, are they still evil cultivators?" Lu Jinhua snorted disdainfully, "I just like the evil cultivators who want to go against everyone in the world. The guy who stole my spirit body has no idea what the charm of an evil cultivator is."

Lu Jinhua continued to chatter, and Lin Xiaoxiao was indeed shocked. Yes, what if the world is ruled by evil cultivators...

Then wouldn't the righteous cultivators of today become the "most rebellious" group of people? Then I, who have the "Medicine King Valley", should be the biggest "evil cultivator" in such a world!

Are you playing word games with me?

Lin Xiaoxiao sat up straight and looked at Lu Jinhua seriously: "How can I trust you?"

"God is above. If I do anything against you or harm you, my soul will be shattered and I will not be able to enter the reincarnation." Lu Jinhua's voice was low and he swore an oath as soon as he opened his mouth.

Suddenly there was a flash of lightning and thunder outside the restaurant. A small bolt of lightning rushed into the box where Lin Xiaoxiao and Lu Jinhua were, leaving a mark on each of their hands.

"So, can we make a decision now?" Lu Jinhua raised his hand, raised his glass and smiled.

"Hehe," Lin Xiaoxiao also raised her glass and clinked it with his, "I hope you didn't lie to me."

"Okay, hahaha!" Lu Jinhua laughed and handed Lin Xiaoxiao a piece of paper. "This is the weakness of the old man's practice, as well as all the old injuries on the spirit body. When the Tianli Mountain Secret Realm is opened, that person will come in person. They have a very strange formation. The method to crack it that I have studied is written on it, but I am not very sure."

"The end of the secret realm is the best time. I hope Miss Lin can give you support!" Lu Jinhua smiled, and then disappeared in an instant.

Lin Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea, and her expression was no longer as relaxed and happy as it had been in the morning.

"Waiter," Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, "Pack it up!"
