Master's Chief Disciple

About ten years later, Shangguan Mengrou had grown into a graceful young lady, and he had completely transformed into an adult man.

At the age of first falling in love, Shangguan Mengrou happened to have a good impression of him, but the veil had never been lifted. She had always adhered to the idea that humans and demons have different paths, and had never taken this step.

During the long years of getting along, Yuan had already regarded her as the most important in his heart and had been silently protecting her; Yuan did not know that she was not an ordinary person, but a cultivator, only because she had concealed her own aura.

Shangguan Mengrou was also silently protecting him, but humans and demons were ultimately on different paths, and it was not easy for them to become close friends, and she was already very satisfied.

It was not known whether it was God's mercy or fate's trick, but when Shangguan Mengrou was looking for him alone, she ran into other fox demons. It just so happened that this purple and white fox demon had a personality that was the opposite of Yuan's and was extremely violent.

Seeing some humans breaking into this sea of ​​flowers, he couldn't help but feel resistance, so he threw a few sharp thorns at her when she wasn't paying attention. Fortunately, she noticed the abnormality and avoided the attack.

The fox demon roared a few times and thought to himself that it turned out to be a human cultivator. No wonder he had such agile skills. This person must not be kept.

Shangguan Mengrou tightly grasped the sword in her hand and thought to herself: "We must end this battle quickly and not let Yuan know my identity."

But she forgot that he was already familiar with her unique scent.

A strong wind carried many petals upwards and gradually formed the shape of a tornado. The fox demon quickly used its tail to swing it, and suddenly hundreds of flaming flying blades flew out, making a loud noise when they collided with the tornado. As the two attacks weakened, the two figures began close combat.

Hearing the sound, Yuan hurried to the sea of ​​flowers and also sensed Shangguan Mengrou's breath, but this time the breath was very different, with a little bit of coldness.

"Yuan, why are you still standing there? Why don't you come and help me?" the purple and white eight-tailed fox demon shouted loudly.

When Shangguan Mengrou heard this, she was stunned and thought, how could they know each other?

Yuan didn't know how to make a choice at this moment. One was the brother he grew up with, and the other was the person he loved the most. But if he didn't take action, Shangguan Mengrou would surely die at the hands of Xiao. His brother Xiao was a fourteenth-level demon, which was equivalent to the Golden Immortal realm of human cultivators.

After hesitating for a long time, Yuan rushed to her, looked at her expressionlessly, his body trembling slightly. He never expected that she would be a cultivator.

"What are you still hesitating about? Why don't you do it?"

Xiao's voice sounded behind him, but he still stood in the air motionless. Seeing her injured left arm, he felt very distressed.

Shangguan Mengrou also stared at him blankly. After a while, she pointed her sword at him and said coldly, "I am really unlucky today!"

Yuan thought she was going to die, his whole heart was trembling, after hesitating for a moment, he condensed a magic power in his hand, pretending to attack her, but in fact he turned around and took the opportunity to aim at Xiao, and with a bang, Xiao took the attack head-on.

Yuan yelled, "Run!" and pushed her away.

Shangguan Mengrou realized that he was helping her escape, but how could she abandon him? She clenched her fists and her face darkened, "I'm not leaving! If you want to leave, let's go together."

"Okay, Yuan, it turns out that the partner you mentioned to me before is a cultivator from the human race!" Xiao flew out of the smoke and dust unharmed.

"What are you thinking about? We are monsters!!!" Xiao asked him harshly.

"Since ancient times, humans and demons have been incompatible, let alone falling in love. Moreover, she is a cultivator. Yuan, wake up! Kill her!"

"No! I like her! I want to protect her forever!" Yuan said loudly.

"Ridiculous! No matter what, I will take you back to the Fox Clan to receive punishment today!" Xiao's face was ferocious, and his facial features were almost twisted together. He hated the cultivator in front of him very much. He didn't know what means she had used to make Yuan bewitched.

"That may disappoint you, but I would rather die with her than live alone!" After saying that, he took her hand and looked at her with firm and gentle eyes.

"In that case, then I'll do as you wish." Hearing this, Xiao was very dissatisfied, but more of it was puzzled.

Yuan was very clear about Xiao's moves and tactics. He asked Shangguan Mengrou to stay where she was while he fought him alone.

As a thirteenth-level fox demon, his strength was far inferior to that of Xiao, who was at the fourteenth level. After just taking two of Xiao's big moves, he was no longer able to continue resisting.

Shangguan Mengrou was injured internally and couldn't go forward to compete with him at this time. In fact, she had been struggling in her heart. Can a human and a demon really fall in love? Looking at Yuan who was desperately protecting her, she smiled knowingly and had the answer in her heart, "It doesn't matter if she is a demon or a human. It's enough to have each other in our hearts."

An extremely fierce attack came towards Shangguan Mengrou who was standing aside. She quickly released three layers of red shields, but was ultimately unable to withstand the attack. Although the attack that hit her shoulder was weakened a bit, it still caused her to fall down.

Xiao curled the corner of his mouth, and swung all his tails forward. Hundreds of purple fireballs attacked her. Yuan used all his strength to fly to her side, and condensed all his demonic power into a red wall. At the moment of the explosion, Yuan's painful screams could be heard.

Xiao didn't expect that he would actually die for a human cultivator, and blood oozed from his clenched fists.

"Yuan, kill me, otherwise you won't survive." Shangguan Mengrou lay in his arms with blood at the corners of her mouth.

"No, believe me, we will escape together." Yuan answered her.

"Silly, is it worth it for me?" she asked him with a smile.

"worth!"

Xiao couldn't bear to watch Yuan die like this, and this was the path Yuan had chosen himself, and he had no right to deprive him of it. "Enough! Go!"

Yuan was shocked, "Xiao, you..."

A powerful energy was coming towards this side in the distance. "Leave immediately if you don't want to die. The high priest will be here soon."

Yuan also felt the powerful energy fluctuations and looked at Xiao hesitantly. Xiao knew he was worried. "The high priest won't do anything to me, but you, on the contrary, he will take your life even if he chases you to the ends of the earth."

Yuan knew that once he left, he would never come back. He smiled, looked at Xiao, then turned around, picked up Shangguan Mengrou and left.

Later, they lived a peaceful life together in Qingmeng County. About two years later, their whereabouts were revealed by a demon. In order not to implicate innocent lives, the two fled all the way to Qingxi Youlin. In the end, they were caught up by the high priest, and Xiao also chased them together.

Originally, the high priest wanted to execute the two on the spot, but Xiao's words made the high priest give up the idea, "High priest, letting them die like this is too easy for them. Why not..."

The high priest said, "Oh? Tell me about it."

The high priest snorted coldly, "Taking away his demon core can indeed make his life worse than death."

"Yuan, do you admit your guilt?"

The high priest wanted to give him another chance, kill the monk in front of him and go back with him.

"Yuan would rather die to protect her!"

Xiao saw the high priest's face darkening, so he took a step ahead and knocked Yuan to the ground with a palm, "Why are you still so stubborn!"

"Pei Lang!" Seeing this, the injured Shangguan Mengrou staggered towards him.

"You are so stubborn!" After saying that, the high priest raised his hand and knocked Shangguan Mengrou away, then picked up Yuan. As a powerful demonic power entered his body, a red demon pill slowly emerged.

Yuan, whose demon elixir was taken away, now looked like a half-human, half-demon, lying on the ground dying, "Meng Rou!"

The high priest turned his back to him and said, "Without the demon pill, you won't live for more than a month."

After saying this, he left the place with Xiao.

A few days later, Shangguan Mengrou brought him back to Qingmeng County and placed him in a secret room in Huxiang Pavilion. She watched his breath becoming weaker and weaker, but she was powerless to save him.

Once, she met Xiao by chance while passing through Qingxi Youlin. She thought he was here to kill her, but Xiao said, "You won't let him go until you die?"

Shangguan Mengrou saw that it was him and became alert. "Why are you talking so much? If you want to fight, just do it."

Xiao knew that the two of them were determined to be together, but Yuan didn't have much time left. "I have no ill intentions."

After that, he threw a scroll to her and said, "This is a secret method of our clan. It can extend his life by one month."

Xiao hesitated for a while but finally said that sentence, "Also, if you want his demon pill back, come to the flower sea in Qingxi Youlin and exchange your life for the pill."

Xiao knew Yuan's temper. Without Shangguan Mengrou, he would probably be in extreme pain, or even die, but Xiao still wanted to try to pull him back.

After saying this, Xiao left the spot silently. Shangguan Mengrou looked up at the sky and smiled. Perhaps they were destined not to be together forever.

Wu Xiwen was puzzled. She was injured but still running around for days. Was she trying to kill herself?

Half an hour later, Shangguan Mengrou woke up and saw Wu Xiwen beside her. "Who are you?"

"I saw you fall down when I passed by, so I saved you. You are still injured now, so don't get up yet."

"Thank you, young lady. I have something important to attend to, so I can't stay for long. If we are lucky enough to meet again, I will repay you in the future."

After saying that, she was about to get up and leave, but finally fell down. Wu Xiwen supported her and shook her head.
