The Legend of the Demon Hunter

When he came to the island in the middle of the lake again, Xiao Zhu was in a completely different state of mind. Surrounded by water and isolated from the world, it was no longer a place for spiritual practice in his eyes, but more like a natural prison.

The person imprisoned here is the number one figure in Nuowan College, Dean Ruqing.

"Teacher Chu, why did the dean go crazy?" Xia Shi asked puzzledly.

Chu Enze sighed and said, "Alas! It's a sad story. Dean Ruqing was once a student of Nuowan College. She was called the most talented person since the founding of Nuowan College. Some people said that her talent was not inferior to that of the ancestor who founded Nuowan College. When she graduated from Nuowan College, she had completed four blood awakenings at the age of 21, and completed the fifth and sixth blood awakenings at an incredible speed in the following years. In fact, you may not have an idea of ​​what I mean. Let me give you an example. Yu Han is already a leader among the young teachers of the current college. It took him 69 years from the first blood awakening to the fifth blood awakening, and Dean Ruqing was only 37 years old when she completed the fifth blood awakening!"

"Oh my god!" Xiao Zhu opened his mouth in shock. As a demon hunter, he knew how difficult it was to do this. Both Yu Han and Chu Enze were outstanding demon hunters and were considered as reserve talents for the future dean of Novan College. He also knew that it was a luxury for most demon hunters to reach the level of a high-level demon hunter in their lifetime. However, the speed of practice of Dean Ruqing was beyond the reach of Yu Han and Chu Enze. It could only be said that she was a monster among monsters.

"Ruqing's astonishing cultivation speed immediately attracted the attention of the old dean. At his invitation, Ruqing returned to Nuowan College and succeeded him as the new dean.

Although Ruqing became the dean, she had no interest in the administrative affairs of the academy, and left them all to the Council of Elders. She traveled around alone, seeking opportunities for further breakthroughs in her cultivation. Unfortunately, in the following decades, her cultivation seemed to have hit a bottleneck, and she never made any substantial breakthroughs.

But during her travels, she met a man, quickly married him, and gave birth to a son. These things happened more than ten years ago. "

"Ah? Dean Ruqing was married? What about her husband and children?" Xia Shi asked in shock.

"That's what I'm going to say next. One day seventeen years ago, Dean Ruqing, who was traveling abroad, suddenly returned to the academy, but her behavior this time was extremely abnormal. That day, her hair was disheveled and her eyes were distracted. In addition, after returning to the academy, she plunged into the secret room of the lake island and refused to go out again. Elder Bai from the Elders' Council and I visited her many times, but she refused to communicate with us. What we found more abnormal was that she seemed to have fallen into a state of madness, and she kept talking to herself about baby and children. From her few words, we gradually pieced together the outline of the matter. It turned out that she had experienced a great war, in which her husband died, and her six-month-old child was missing."

"Oh my God... The pain of losing a husband and a son is more terrifying for a woman than the sky falling." Xia Shi said sympathetically.

"Yes, seventeen years have passed, and Dean Ruqing has never gotten out of this shadow. What's more serious is that this mentality affects her body all the time. Now even her health is not as good as before." Chu Enze said.

The three of them walked to the attic in the middle of the island in the middle of the lake. Chu Enze touched some mechanism and a secret door leading to the underground opened. Chu Enze took the lead and walked in.

Walking into the underground secret room, Xiao Zhu saw a long corridor. The walls here were inlaid with many white-glowing gems, which illuminated the room. They walked along the corridor for about a few dozen meters, and a stone door about three meters high appeared in front of them. Chu Enze paused for a moment, then placed his palm on the door, and the stone door slowly opened.

What came into view was an empty room with a bed in the corner and a woman sitting on the bed with her back to them. The woman had flowing blonde hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall.

The moment he saw the woman's figure, Xiao Zhu widened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief.

"How could it be...how could it be her?" Xiao Zhu said to himself.

She was clearly the woman standing on top of the giant snake when Xiao Zhu saw it by the Swan Lake that day! In this case, could the experience that night be true?

If the blonde woman is Dean Ruqing, then what is the giant snake?

And what was that white jade plate that he accidentally picked up that day?

Xia Shi keenly caught the unusual aura of Xiao Zhu. Her eyes involuntarily fell on the other person, revealing a hint of confusion and concern in her eyes, but due to the current atmosphere, Xia Shi did not ask more questions.

Chu Enze's attention was completely focused on Ruqing. He bowed gently and said, "Dean, I'm here to see you. Are you okay?"

Ruqing seemed not to hear his voice, nor did she turn around. Xia Shi then noticed that Ruqing seemed to be holding something in her arms. As she turned sideways, Xia Shi saw that she was holding a stuffed toy.

This made Xia Shi feel sad instantly.

After a while, Ruqing turned around, and Xiao Zhu and Xia Shi finally saw her face clearly. She was extremely beautiful, with skin as white as snow, and as smooth and delicate as mutton-fat jade; her azure blue eyes were like the bright starry sky, deep and charming, as if containing endless mysteries; coupled with her long golden hair as dazzling as the sun, she looked like an angel fallen to the earth, so exquisite.

Because of her presence, this simple room instantly turned into a flawless painting, which was intoxicating.

Ruqing glanced at them, a loving mother's smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Come and see how soundly my baby is sleeping."

Xia Shi walked up first. She saw that the doll in Ruqing's arms had its eyes closed, and it really looked like a sleeping baby. She smiled faintly and said, "Yes! It's sleeping soundly."

Ruqing gently placed the doll on the bed and said, "I have to hurry and prepare food for the baby, or he will wake up and cry from hunger again!"

After putting down the doll, she glanced at Xia Shi, then hurriedly walked to the table in the middle of the room. But when she stood in the middle of the room, she seemed to have forgotten what she wanted to do, turned around on the spot, and suddenly became irritable, spreading her hands and shouting in fear: "Where is my child? Where is my child?"

Her originally beautiful face turned ferocious, and she suddenly rushed towards Xia Shi and asked, "Did you take my child away?"
