Ma Jiamen: I was forced to fight for supremacy

Puyang Yingjun walked up to Ma Zhan with a look of admiration on his face and said, "Brother, you are really strong. You even made the snow frog cry. I saw it crying."

Ma Zhan waved his hands, feeling relieved that he had succeeded in pretending to be awesome. "It's just so-so. Strength, it's all strength."

Ma Zhan suddenly remembered that the fat white snow frog had been restless in the bronze goblet.

"Xiao Qiao, let me take a look at the snow frog. If it doesn't behave, I'll stew it. I know a dish called stewed snow frog with white fungus. It's really delicious."

Zheng Xiaoqiao chuckled and said, "The snow frog has recognized me as its master. Now it doesn't want to see you."

"This snow frog has no backbone at all. He's so scared so quickly."

Ma Zhan picked up the bronze cup and shouted into the cup mouth: "Little Snow Frog, be obedient, or I will stew you."

The snow frog at the bottom of the Wangchuan River heard the voice of the little red man, held its head with its two front paws, and burrowed into the mud at the bottom of the river again.

Zheng Xiaoqiao reached out and gently tapped Ma Zhan's head. "You were beaten so badly, can you still be tough?"

Ma Zhan shook his head. "No, I would have surrendered long before I was beaten."

Ma Zhan, who had returned to normal, made everyone curl their lips.

Liu Nange pushed Ma Zhan aside and asked, "Xiao Qiao, did the snow frog tell us why it appeared here?"

Zheng Xiaoqiao nodded and explained to everyone.

This place is similar to what Ma Zhan had analyzed. It was built by the Ghost Emperor in imitation of the underworld. Its purpose is to cultivate the red spider lily.

But Fengdu in Shuzhong is not the real underworld, so the Ghost Emperor placed one of his spiritual pets, the Snow Toad, in the water of the Forgetful River, making the Forgetful River not only extremely yin but also extremely cold.

In this way, the red spider lily barely survived.

The waters of the Wangchuan River were filled with the resentment of the souls of the wronged dead. The Snow Toad constantly devoured the resentment in this section of the river, transforming it into its own spiritual energy. As a result, the Snow Toad's icy energy also became extremely cold and yin, and it also gained human intelligence.

After listening to Zheng Xiaoqiao's story, Ma Zhan finally understood the reason for the subtle change in her temperament. It turned out to be the ice element of the snow frog, which was the cause.

"Xiao Qiao, can you control the ice element now?"

Zheng Xiaoqiao nodded, "I guess so, but I haven't fully mastered it yet."

Wow, this is amazing! Zheng Xiaoqiao is probably the only spiritual master in the world who can master two elements at the same time.

Liu Nange, a princess of Shu, was also envious. She looked at the red spider lily and said, "Quickly put the red spider lily into the Forgetful River. It will wither and die soon if it stays here alone."

Zheng Xiaoqiao shook his head and said, "Xueha told me that if we take it in, it will die. The Ghost Emperor keeps it here for a reason."

"What's the reason?" Liu Nange asked.

Zheng Xiaoqiao replied, "The Snow Toad doesn't know either. It only knows that the Ghost Emperor values the Red Spider Lily very much."

"I know..." said Xiaohua beside Lin Yuejing.

Everyone looked at Xiaohua, and the little girl shrank her neck.

Xiaohua is about the same age as Ma Zhan, but unlike Ma Zhan, she is just a little girl with a simple mind.

Only when Lin Yuejing held her hand did she feel a little safe, and she spoke in a soft voice.

"My mother once told me a mantra: when I see a red spider lily, I can chant it softly to it, and it will follow me."

"Your mother...who is your mother?" Ma Zhan asked puzzledly.

Lin Yuejing hesitated for a moment and said to everyone, "Xiaohua's mother is Madam Huarui."

"Madam Huarui!" Liu Nange shouted, scaring Ma Zhan who was standing beside him.

"What are you shouting about? You're so jumpy... Damn it, Madam Huarui!" Ma Zhan shouted even louder than Liu Nange.

Ma Zhan said in amazement, as if he had discovered a new world. "Madam Huarui, the top beauty in the beauty list... the most beautiful woman. The most beautiful woman in Shu, the goddess of flowers..."

Lin Yuejing said with a serious expression: "I think we are already family, so I hope you can keep Xiaohua a secret."

Ma Zhan asked doubtfully, "Madam Huarui has a daughter, is that a secret?"

Liu Nange explained: "Madam Huarui is called the Flower Goddess. Besides her beauty, there is another important reason: she is the spirit of the Immortal Wood.

In this world, all cultivators, at the end of their cultivation, struggle against heaven and earth for immortality. The existence of an immortal wood spirit in the world is naturally the object of competition among cultivators.

Twenty years ago, Lady Huarui and the Ghost Emperor vanished from Great Shu. Rumors circulated that Lady Huarui had hidden in the mountains south of Caiyun. Others claimed the Ghost Emperor's disappearance was linked to Lady Huarui.

In short, one thing is certain, Madam Huarui's identity is very sensitive. If anyone knew that Xiaohua was Madam Huarui's daughter.

So, I think everyone should be clear about what kind of situation Xiaohua will face in the future in order to threaten Madam Huarui to show up."

"Oh my god, this is a shocking secret. Is Madam Huarui really immortal?"

Ma Zhan felt that his three views were a little overturned. What kind of concept is immortality? The planets in his previous life all had a lifespan. Is there really anyone in this world who is immortal?

"No, we just age slowly, we are not immortal at all." Xiaohua tried her best to explain.

"Aging slowly? Like the elves, they can live for hundreds of years. How long can your mother live?" Ma Zhan asked.

Xiaohua nodded and said hesitantly, "I don't know either."

Ling Yuejing said: "When I met Xiaohua in the seventh year, she had already spent twenty years in the mountains."

Xiaohua's condition did not have much impact on Ma Zhan. He had seen the elves, and the nearly fifty-year-old Princess Qionghua was no different from an eighteen-year-old girl.

But Lady Huarui is different from the elves, she is a human, like Xiaohua. After more than 20 years, she still looks like a teenager, which is indeed not in line with the growth pattern of humans.

Especially in this world, Meng Yao, Zheng Xiaoqiao, Liu Nange and the others are only fourteen or fifteen years old, which is almost the same as the eighteen or nineteen-year-old college students in their previous lives.

But like Concubine Wang and Princess Yuehua, they only stayed young for a very long time.

Based on this ratio, Xiaohua should be able to maintain her youthfulness for about three times as long as an ordinary practitioner, which is indeed very tempting.

Lady Huarui should age even more slowly than Xiaohua. After all, Xiaohua only inherited Lady Huarui's genes.

Ma Zhan glanced at the still-glowing Higanbana and smiled inwardly. 'The Ghost Emperor is taking such good care of Higanbana; his relationship with Madam Huarui must be something special.'

Maybe, Xiaohua, is their daughter...'
