Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

The next morning, Guan Xun went to the cultivation tower to cultivate.

When she reached the advanced training room, the hunchbacked old man glanced at her a few more times, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Guan Xun raised an eyebrow, didn't ask him what was going on, and simply walked past him to begin his cultivation.

The old man tilted his head, turning his gaze away from Guan Xun's back, and muttered to himself, "This girl is really bold. She caused such a scene yesterday, and she still dares to come."

He chuckled twice, a hint of admiration flashing across his face and eyes.

As soon as Guan Xun stepped inside, he felt all eyes on him, and many people were whispering among themselves.

"Is it her?"

"Yeah, you don't know what happened yesterday, tsk tsk, it was terrifying."

"Jian Rou's head... she slammed it against the wall herself, here, and here, a whole lot of blood."

Someone was gesturing with their fingers to the ground, their movements and expressions suggesting that some terrible battle had taken place yesterday.

Wow, looks like she's a celebrity now.

Guan Xun acted as if she hadn't heard and walked straight inside. This was good; from now on, probably no one would dare to provoke her easily, and trouble would be greatly reduced.

It was still early, and there weren't many people on the cultivation level, leaving many cultivation rooms empty.

She randomly found a cultivation room located relatively far inside, put the gold coins needed for half a day's cultivation into the small slot, and then concentrated on absorbing spiritual energy.

Time flies, and when Guan Xun opened his eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky.

She exhaled a deep breath, looked at the stone wall that hadn't completely dimmed, and whispered, "Red Melt?"

……

no response?

She frowned and called out in her heart, finally hearing Chi Rong's response.

"Master, did you call me?"

"Who else could it be? Have you sensed the spiritual energy here?" Guan Xun asked.

Chi Rong circled his dantian once and nodded: "The spiritual energy here is quite abundant."

As soon as it finished speaking, Guan Xun saw a small red light flash from her left abdomen, and with a whoosh, a small red python appeared right under her nose.

"You've shrunk again?!" Guan Xun exclaimed in astonishment.

"Hey, of course." Chi Rong smiled, circled around her, and then suddenly jumped in front of her face, examining her closely.

After a moment, it shook its head, looking somewhat disappointed: "Master, why did you find a body like this? It's not as good-looking as you used to be."

Guan Xun: ...

It assumed she wanted to, but she had no choice. Besides, although her body was a bit weak, her appearance was still acceptable.

She raised her fair finger and flicked Chi Rong's head hard: "When did you learn this shrinking skill?"

“There’s no need to learn this, I’ve always known how to do it.” Chi Rong winced in pain and shrank back. “Didn’t you always say you liked big monsters? That’s why I’ve always kept that big size.”

Guan Xun was speechless. Well, she had indeed said that.

Collecting her thoughts, she tossed another gold coin into the small groove: "Since you can shrink and it's convenient, let's cultivate like this, and we'll absorb more spiritual energy."

Chi Rong nodded and perched on Guan Xun's shoulder. The dense spiritual energy emanating from the rock wall was being channeled into its body at a visible speed.

"Is the man you were talking about last night?" Guan Xun asked softly.

"Yes, Master." Chi Rong remained motionless, not yet in human form and unable to speak, only able to transmit his voice in Guan Xun's sea of ​​consciousness.

"So what happened?"

Chi Rong pondered for a while before slowly recounting what happened back then.

"When I rushed back to the country, I learned that the lord had already fallen and a new lord had taken the throne, who was... the second princess."

Seven million years ago, in the Azure Phoenix Palace of the Celestial Realm.

The enormous body of Chi Rong coiled up in front of the main hall, its serpentine head slightly lowered, its cold eyes fixed on several women dressed as maids below.

The maid's face was pale, her lips, which should have been rosy, were now bloodless, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably: "It was...it was the lord who ordered us to demolish the Azure Phoenix Palace, we were just following orders!"

"Lord?" Chi Rong flicked his forked tongue, and his voice, transformed from spiritual energy, resounded throughout the courtyard, chillingly cold.

The moment it lost contact with its master, it rushed back to the territory with all its might, only to learn from the commoners that the lord had fallen. When it returned to the Azure Phoenix Palace, it saw many people dismantling the palace!

“That’s right, the newly enthroned lord is the second princess, and she ordered us to come and demolish it.” The maid quickly explained, hoping that the other party wouldn’t harm her. “Lord Chi Rong… this isn’t our business…”

"Where's the eldest princess?"

"No, I don't know," the maid hurriedly shook her head.

The Crimson Blood Maw gaped open, and a drop of black, sticky liquid dripped from its sharp fangs onto the ground. The next second, the entire vibrant grassland instantly died!

"what!!"

"Lord Chi Rong, spare my life!!"

"don't want!!"

In an instant, the maids' bodies began to rot and decay at an alarming rate, their white bones exposed, leaving them only able to desperately cry out for help.

Chi Rong's body swayed, and he left the courtyard.

Given the master's temperament, he would never easily relinquish the position of lord. The fact that the second princess has taken the throne can only mean that the master is in grave danger!

It shouldn't have gone out to run errands; it shouldn't have left its owner's side!

Where is it? Where exactly is it?!

Chi Rong searched most of the territory but could not find Guan Xun's figure. Even his aura had disappeared completely, and there was not even a trace of a fight.

He perched on a tree covered with fibrous roots, a place Guan Xun used to frequent.

No, not even the slightest trace of anything can be found here.

Could it be that the master hasn't perished yet? How did the second princess manage to hide him?

Thinking of this, it narrowed its snake eyes, loosened its long tail that was wrapped around the tree trunk, and darted towards a high mountain peak.

Fengxianduan.

The old man in blue stroked his white beard, his cloudy eyes fixed on the doorway. He frowned and sighed silently.

"coming."

The aged voice had barely faded when the tightly closed door shattered into several pieces with a bang.

Amidst the billowing dust, a thick, long python tail swept in, grabbed the old man, and dragged him away!

With a flick of its tail, Chi Rong sent the old man tumbling onto the uneven mountainside, rolling around twice.

"Oh dear, my old bones! You...!" I shouted angrily.

"Old man, help me calculate." Chi Rong ignored him and stated his purpose directly.

The old man struggled to his feet, his back slightly bent. He supported himself on his thigh and limped to a large rock beside him. He sat down, smoothed his disheveled beard, and then looked up at Chi Rong.

Is this how you ask for help?
