Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

"Do you know the reason why thousands of monsters are besieging the city?" After three rounds of drinks, Liu Xing began to guide the group into the topic.

"They demanded we hand over the Jiao Clan princess, but since we'd never seen her, we couldn't. So we launched a mad attack on the city," City Lord Han said rather glumly. He had been stationed in Haibin City's City Lord's Mansion for over two hundred years, and this was the first time he'd encountered such a situation. It had prevented him from enjoying his retirement and left him extremely depressed.

When Liu Xing heard this, he was stunned: Could it be that he came here for Jiao Jiao?

He remained calm and continued to ask questions. Finally, after combining various pieces of information, he was almost 90% sure that the other party came for his beloved pet Jiao Jiao.

After the banquet, all the fellow Daoists who had reached the Jindan stage were arranged to rest in the VIP room.

Liu Xing came to the lounge and set up several sound-blocking and mind-blocking restrictions. With his current restriction ability, ordinary Nascent Soul consciousness would not be able to break through.

He released the blue dragon whose cultivation was sealed and whose body had shrunk, and stared at it.

Although Lan Jiao had a high level of cultivation, he was now a prisoner with his life hanging by a thread, and he was trembling with fear.

"Fellow Daoist, please feel free to ask for anything you want. If you can spare my life, my family will definitely offer a generous sum of money to redeem me." Lan Jiao used his spiritual sense to convey a message to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing ignored it and summoned Jiao Jiao.

"Cousin! Why are you here?"

"Cousin! Why are you here?"

When the two dragons met, they actually called each other cousins, as if they were relatives. Seeing this scene, Liu Xing was almost 100% sure of the truth of the matter.

"Cousin, the queen has had a hard time finding you, we..." Lan Jiao wanted to say something but stopped, suddenly remembering that there was a human monk next to him.

"Cousin, just say it. He is my best friend and once saved my life. He will not harm you." Jiao Jiao received Liu Xing's telepathic message and decided not to reveal their master-servant relationship for the time being.

Liu Xing also cooperated by waving his hand, and the seals and restrictions on the blue dragon disappeared, and the power returned instantly. It felt so good to have his destiny in his own hands again.

"Cousin, this man has powerful magic and I am no match for him. Although he saved your life, humans are the most treacherous, so it is better to be careful." Lan Jiao gained strength and courage, and began to communicate with Jiao Jiao through voice transmission.

At such a close distance, Liu Xing's powerful spiritual sense allowed him to clearly hear the voice transmission without anyone noticing. He sneered inwardly, but remained expressionless as he sat aside, eyes closed, meditating, seemingly unconcerned with what they were communicating.

"It's okay, we can communicate through voice transmission. He is only at the Jindan level and can't hear it." Jiao Jiao comforted.

"Cousin, where have you been for the past hundred years? The queen is almost worried to death." Lan Jiao felt relieved and asked anxiously.

"Mother..." Jiao Jiao was a little dazed, with tears in her eyes, recalling the happy times when her mother was by her side during her childhood.

"Cousin, it's the best thing that you are safe and sound now. Your mother is in the camp behind you. It's just that due to her status, she didn't do it herself. Otherwise, this small coastal city would be easily conquered. Why would it take so much trouble?" Lan Jiao snorted coldly and said arrogantly, as if he had forgotten that he had just suffered a great defeat and had become a prisoner.

"You said Mother is here too?" Jiao Jiao was so excited that she wanted to fly over to find her mother right away. Liu Xing felt a surge of emotion, and he immediately soothed her with his thoughts, telling her to stay calm and that he would take her to see her mother tomorrow after he had learned everything.

"Yes, the queen couldn't find you for a long time and was very anxious. She had to come in person this time." Lan Jiao was also helpless.

"Mother, you come here alone. Is there no one to protect you?" Jiao Jiao asked with some concern.

"The queen is a seventh-level shapeshifter, and ordinary human Nascent Souls are no match for her. We are not going to launch a large-scale attack on human cities. We just followed your breath to this city on the edge of the sea and can retreat to the depths of the sea at any time. The queen only brought our guard this time, and recruited some shrimp soldiers and crab generals to help along the way. It is safe, so there are no other shapeshifting monsters accompanying us." Lan Jiao said a long speech.

"Oh, cousin, we may have to leave here quickly. If any human Nascent Soul cultivators come to support us, we will have to retreat." Lan Jiao reminded with some concern.

"Don't worry, take a rest tonight, and I will go with you to see the Queen Mother tomorrow." Although Jiao Jiao also wanted to see the Queen Mother earlier, she also knew that it was not suitable to act in the middle of the night.

In the guest room, one man and two demons were meditating.

Lan Jiao was worried and couldn't calm down. Although he was not imprisoned now, he was in enemy territory and dared not relax for a moment.

Liu Xing and Jiao Jiao kept communicating with their minds.

"Master, my mother is a very kind person. Please take me to see her tomorrow." Jiao Jiao pleaded softly.

"Jiao Jiaoguai, I will definitely take you to see your mother, don't worry." Liu Xing looked at it lovingly and replied gently to reassure it.

"Master is so nice! There is only one transformed demon, mother, in the demon army. There are no other threats. Master's strength is enough to protect us." Jiao Jiao added.

"Okay, I understand. Take a rest tonight, and I will take you there tomorrow morning." Liu Xing knew that Jiao Jiao missed her mother, but no matter how urgent it was, they had to get through tonight.

Jiao Jiao couldn't calm down, either. She kept thinking about the little moments she had spent with her mother during her childhood. She fidgeted and twisted her body. Finally, she simply opened her eyes, rested her chin on her hand, and stared blankly.

Liu Xing sat in meditation, pondering his strategy for tomorrow. Jiao Jiao was a royal member of the deep-sea Jiao clan, her bloodline and status extremely noble. Now, she had become a human pet, which was intolerable. How would he face Jiao Jiao's mother tomorrow?

He had a strong premonition that Jiao Jiao might leave him.

"Everything depends on Jiao Jiao's wishes. Whether she wants to go back with her mother or continue to follow me around the world, it all depends on her own will. No one can force her, otherwise I will not hesitate to turn the Dragon Palace upside down!" Liu Xing made up his mind silently.

He recalled every moment he and Jiao Jiao had spent exploring the world together. Jiao Jiao had played an indispensable role in his current achievements. Especially in the Sunset Secret Realm of the Land Demon Clan, without Jiao Jiao's life-saving grace, he would have been wiped out long ago.

Because of a dream, Jiao Jiao willingly accepted him as her master, with no intention of disobeying him, unwavering in wealth and poverty. If there was one person he could trust most in his life, it would be Jiao Jiao, someone he could completely entrust his descendants to. In this selfish and cold world of immortal cultivation, having such a completely trustworthy partner was truly precious, and Liu Xing cherished it immensely.
