"Ayue!"

Ji Fenghe's white dress was elegant, and she jumped and landed beside Ji Mingyue, and exhaled heavily: "You can make me easy to find!"

Ji Mingyue was sitting on a rock beside Zhu in a daze, and turned to look at her when she heard the sound: "Third sister."

Looking at the face of her younger brother, Ji Fenghe couldn't help sighing.

Even though she is a woman and has a stunning face, she has never felt the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with her seventh brother being awarded the title of "No. [-] Beauty in the Cultivation World".

Ji Mingyue's face was truly flawless and unique in the world.

People who have met the master of the Feifeng Pavilion say that Feng Ce has a face that amazes all living beings, who can take the soul away with just one look, and the beautiful people never want to move their eyes away.

But Ji Mingyue's face is so impressive that one dare not look at it again - those golden pupils are sharp and arrogant, and the icy eyes seem to be able to pierce people's heart; The seventh son of Qingqiu looked colder and farther away than the bright moon in the sky. His whole body seemed to be made of ice and jade as his bones, exuding an aura that repelled people thousands of miles away.

Although possessed of divine fire, it gives people the illusion that if you get too close, you will get frostbite.Therefore, even though he is known as the number one beauty, there are not many warriors in the entire cultivation world who dare to pursue this seventh young master. I dare not take a step closer.

Ji Fenghe sighed, walked over and sat down side by side with Ji Mingyue: "You are leisurely here. There was such an incident at the wedding banquet half a month ago, and the turmoil that has been stirred up has not subsided until now. My father was furious and sent people everywhere to arrest him. You go back."

She has had the best relationship with Ji Mingyue since she was a child. She knew that whenever this younger brother was depressed, he would secretly go to Xiaozhu in the water far away from Qingqiu Island, and spend the day quietly in a daze.

"Why on earth did you regret your marriage that day?" Ji Fenghe asked, "Where did you put your father and family's face in that way? Afterwards, my father took people to Wuliang Villa to apologize to Zhong Xianshou in person. , You said...why didn't you think about Qingqiu Island?"

"Even you want me to think about Qingqiu Island and my father's face." Ji Mingyue said with a hint of sarcasm, "But since I was a child, no one has ever thought about my wishes and freedom."

Ji Fenghe was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Because I have inherited good blood, and because I have such a face, I am no longer his son, but a commodity that can be sold for a price." Ji Mingyue said, "All the meaning of my existence is It’s all for the sake of keeping the demon fox clan on Qingqiu Island prosperous on the surface.”

"...Sister knows that you have been wronged a lot." Ji Fenghe was silent for a long time, his expression gradually dimmed, "But Ah Yue, the demon clan is no longer the demon clan it was nearly a thousand years ago."

Everyone in the world remembers the heyday of the Demon Clan more than 300 years ago, but who remembers that the Demon Clan was once glorious?At that time, the big monsters were powerful, and they were all overlords on the side of the sound; there were countless little monsters, and their numbers were even greater than humans at one point.

Not to mention, their demon clan still has the ancestor Phoenix.

Although it belongs to the demon clan, the phoenix is ​​a legendary divine bird. The phoenix's divine fire can cleanse all evil and evil in the world.

It’s just that this glorious time was too short, and it will soon be gone—the ancestor Phoenix fell unexpectedly, the big monsters were extinct one after another, the little monsters were massacred, and the number of monster clans was reduced by two-thirds in just a few years... …

From then on, the splendor of the monster clan dissipated like green smoke, so that even today, few people remember it.

"Nowadays, the Yaozu doesn't seem to be in a weak position. Many people think highly of themselves and always feel that we are superior." Ji Fenghe had a bitter smile on his face, "But in fact, the number of Yaozu has been decreasing. No powerful big monster has ever risen up. It’s not that I am self-deprecating. Our fox clan was incomparable to big monsters such as Dapeng, Zhulong, and Taotie nearly a thousand years ago, but now we have become the leader of the monster clan..."

"This is not glory." Ji Fenghe whispered, "This is the sorrow of the entire demon clan."

Ji Mingyue closed her eyes.

He knew that what Ji Fenghe said was true.

With the decline of the monster clan, there is only one way to achieve the purpose of strengthening the monster power and prospering the monster clan, and that is to conclude a soul contract with a powerful human monk.

But few demons are willing to do this.

One reason has been mentioned before, it is because the monster race is arrogant and disdains to work with humans; the other reason is that it forms a pact with humans, and the monster race will be restricted and controlled by the human side.

Because the talent and power of the monster race is stronger than that of human beings, in order to achieve balance and justice, the rules of heaven and earth put a layer of "imprisonment" on the monster race in the contract-the monster race is in a weak position among the two parties in the contract and cannot defy the will of human beings. And orders, even if humans don't allow it, the monster race can't even unilaterally terminate the contract with humans.

If the two parties have enough trust and respect for each other, then this confinement is nothing; but if the two sides have quarrels in the future, or even turn against each other, it will be a disaster for the Yaozu. Humans can use this rule to do a lot of bad things to the Yaozu. things.

Therefore, countless monster races hate this unfair "justice", and even hate humans, let alone actively conclude any contracts with human monks.

Sending one's own handle to the other party's hands, and being restricted by others for a lifetime, this is more torture than death for the proud monster race.Not to mention, after the soul contract is concluded, it cannot be easily terminated. If the contract is forcibly terminated, both parties will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

This is a very serious and prudent matter. Even if it is for the sake of the future of the entire Yaozu, very few Yaozu are willing to sacrifice themselves and choose to take such a path.

Ji Fenghe said: "Father let you marry Wuliang Villa, just to use the opportunity to make Qingqiu Island more stable, and did not force you to sign a soul contract with Zhongjie. You can even be a superficial couple. , do not interfere with each other in private, why are you so resistant?"

After Ji Fenghua, the patriarch of Qingqiu, gave this order, Ji Mingyue became furious and quarreled with him, and the father and son almost fought over it.

But after several days of stalemate, Ji Mingyue compromised.

Everyone on Qingqiu Island was overjoyed, and Ji Fenghe also thought that his younger brother had finally grown up, understood the key benefits, and decided to share the family's worries.But after Ji Mingyue publicly regretted the marriage at the wedding, she realized that the other party did it on purpose!He wanted to completely anger Ji Fenghua, and make Ji Fenghua deeply realize that this son would never be manipulated by him to marry a stranger for the so-called family glory!

Although he knew that Ji Mingyue's behavior was too extreme, but Ji Fenghe put himself in the situation, but couldn't be harsh on this beloved brother, and even faintly had another guess:

"Ah Yue, you are so against marrying other people, is it because... you still have Sect Master Shen in your heart?"

As soon as these three words came out, Ji Mingyue's snow-like face became even paler without a trace of blood, and her golden pupils even began to tremble slightly.

Ji Fenghe didn't pay attention to his younger brother's strangeness, so he frowned lightly and said, "Father originally wanted Sect Leader Shen the most, and you know that. But Sect Leader Shen is not..."

Considering his younger brother's self-esteem, Ji Fenghe didn't finish the rest of the sentence, not to mention that now that the man has passed away, it is completely useless to say these things.

Thinking of this, she worriedly went to look at Ji Mingyue, only to realize that the other person's face was terribly pale, the nails were deeply embedded in the palm, and the skin was bleeding from the pinch!

"Ah Yue!" She hastily opened her younger brother's tightly clenched fists, and said distressedly, "Third Sister knows that you are not feeling well, but the demise of Master Shen was an accident, none of us thought of it..."

"No." Ji Mingyue said suddenly with a pale face.

Ji Fenghe was taken aback: "What?"

"It wasn't an accident." Ji Mingyue's eyes gradually turned red, and she said in a trembling voice, "I killed him."

Ji Fenghe's face suddenly changed, but Ji Mingyue seemed unable to speak out in pain, and tremblingly buried her face deeply in her hands.

-

On this side, Shen Budu and his two apprentices were about to go south to Beihuang City.

The monks knew how to control the sword, but unfortunately, none of the weapons used by these three people were swords, so they rented a big carriage again, and the horse puppet continued to pull them on their way.

The innkeeper was very enthusiastic, chatting while preparing the carriage for them: "Where are the three planning to go?"

Fang Shaojun said, "Go south, to Zhaojiabao."

When the innkeeper heard it, he hissed and waved his hands again and again: "No way! Listen to my advice, you should take a detour!"

Lu Danxuqi asked, "Why?"

If you go straight ahead, you have to pass through Zhaojiabao. If you take a detour, you will have to walk for nearly ten days, which is really a waste of time.

The owner of the inn said: "It seems that you are not from this neighborhood. Zhao Ting, the lord of Zhaojiabao, is licentious and cruel, and is extremely lustful. Anyone who passes by his territory, as long as he takes a fancy to him, will be snatched back to the castle by him." Being a concubine, the notoriety has spread for many years!"

Lu Danxu didn't take it seriously: "We are all men, why are we afraid that he won't be able to steal the sex?"

"Hey, then Zhao Ting is a master of both men and women!" The innkeeper slapped his thigh, turned his eyes to Shen Budu, and pointed at him with a sad face, "Especially this kind of man with fair skin, pretty features, Thin waist!"

Shen Budu: "..."

Fang Shaojun frowned and asked, "Since Zhao Ting is so arrogant, is there no one to control him?"

"Tsk, do you know how powerful he is?" The innkeeper stretched out his hand and gestured a number, "66 on the land list! Not to mention that there are nearly a thousand Zhaojiabao disciples, and everyone is going to take a detour. Who dares to provoke him!"

This strength is indeed not weak.

"The one who is a little bit pretty, after listening to my persuasion, she changed her course. Even if it takes more than ten days to travel, it's better than being kidnapped by Zhao Ting accidentally! You guys, just listen to me."

The three thanked the innkeeper and got into the carriage.

"Master, what do you think?"

"Go straight." Shen Budu touched the story book and began to read, "Shovel the ones that are in the way."

Both Lu Danxu and Fang Shaojun laughed.They just liked the temperament of Shen Budu.Their masters never show off how powerful and invincible they are to others, and they never show a look of arrogance and contempt to anyone, but sometimes an unintentional action or sentence contains a dash of madness.

The carriage rattled for two days, passing through a small town, and the three of them got out of the carriage for some activities, and bought some food to pass the time.

Shen Budu carried two jugs of good wine, and when he was about to get in the car, he suddenly stopped and turned his head back.

Lu Danxu noticed something strange, and immediately asked in a low voice: "Master, what's wrong?"

Shen Budu said concisely: "Someone is following."

The two of Fang and Lu looked at each other, and their figures disappeared in the same place, and they chased into an alley behind them like lightning!

A black shadow flashed in front of him, his face was hidden under the wide cloak. Fang Shaojun waved his hand with a sullen face, and the thunderous longbow appeared in his palm. Then he drew an arrow with his backhand and shot it. Quickly shoot at the black shadow!

At the same time, Lu Danxu put a jasper bamboo flute to his lips, and played a cheerful ditty at top speed, chasing Thunder Arrow with a sharp murderous intent!

The pincer attack of the two young masters really slowed down the speed of the black shadow, but the opponent speeded up again after a moment of stagnation. The wall disappeared in front of the two of them!

Fang and Lu's hearts sank, and they were about to continue chasing, when a scorching heat wave burst out from the high wall without warning, forcing the black shadow back in embarrassment.

It is the unstoppable Begonia divine fire!

Fang Shaojun seized the opportunity to catch up with the situation, grabbed the shadow next to him, and tore off his cloak.

Then he froze.

Under the cloak... was a girl's face.

Lu Danxu also hissed.This is not only a girl, but also an extremely beautiful girl—skin is fairer than snow, her face is as cold as ice, her eyes are as black as ink, her light red lips are tightly pressed, and she stares at them unkindly.

She is an ice beauty who seems to have a hard temper, a strong temper, and is not easy to mess with.

Lu Danxu's thoughts diverged inexplicably, and he suddenly felt that if his elder brother was reincarnated as a girl, he might look like this.

Immediately, he was startled by his own imagination and shivered, thinking that this is probably a scene that will never appear in his next life.

But even if he killed him, he would never have guessed that the ice beauty in front of him was really his real senior brother... Xie Jianhuan.

Xie Jianhuan swears that he has absolutely no strange hobbies, and it is definitely not intentional.

He was just worried about sinking, and he didn't want to be in the way of the other party's eyes, so he fell behind and followed silently all the way, sweeping away those who had the idea of ​​Shenhuo.When he saw the carriage stopped just now, he couldn't restrain his selfishness, and wanted to take a sneak peek at Shen Budu from a distance, but the other party's sensitivity was too sensitive, and he found his trace across an alley, he didn't want to make the other party angry, so he just He was able to run away immediately, but he didn't expect to be caught in the end.

In order to avoid revealing his identity, in a hurry, he had a brain twitch, and used the disguise technique and bone transformation technique to change his appearance into a girl.

In fact, according to his normal cultivation, the current Shen Budu would not be able to keep him.But before coming to the Northern Wilderness, he was seriously injured for some reason, and almost lost half his life; later, in order to follow Shen Budu, he sealed his cultivation base with a forbidden technique before healed, and compressed it with the Bone Transformation Art. Lost his body shape and caused a second trauma to his body; now he hastily used the Bone Transformation Technique again, his overwhelmed body could no longer support it, and before he opened his mouth to speak, a mouthful of blood spurted out fiercely.

This spray scared Fang Shaojun and Lu Danxu.

"You, are you okay!?" Fang Shaojun saw the girl in front of him with a frighteningly white face, as if she had been severely injured, and felt guilty and remorseful immediately.

He was well-bred and never used to be rough with girls. Although this girl was acting suspiciously just now, she didn't do anything to hurt or attack them, but they beat her to vomit blood first, which is really too much.

Not to mention, it was still three men bullying one woman.

Lu Danxu was also a little confused, not knowing what to do for a while, the two of them turned their attention to Shen Budu.

Shen Budu stepped forward, said "offend", stretched out his hand to hold the woman's pulse, and then his eyes showed surprise.

It's not just pretending... It's really a serious internal injury, and it hasn't been recuperated in time, so that the hidden injuries are superimposed, and the bruises spurt out.

When Shen Budu first saw the black shadow's nimble movement, he thought it was Xie Jianhuan who was sneaking up again, but now this girl clearly confirmed his wrong guess.

...After all, no matter how perverted Xie Jianhuan is, he wouldn't be able to change his gender.

Moreover, Xie Jianhuan's level is right there, there is almost no one in the Northern Wilderness who is his opponent, and it is unlikely that he will suffer such a serious injury.

Shen Budu's expression softened a little, and he took out a bottle of wound medicine and handed it to the woman in black: "I'm so sorry for offending you. But the girl followed me all the way, what's the purpose?"

Xie Jianhuan's tongue was bitter, he lowered his head and did not dare to look directly into Shen Budu's eyes.He clenched the wound medicine bottle tightly, and said calmly, "I... have no malicious intentions. It's just that in the inn in Fenghua Town, I heard that the three of you seemed to be planning to go to Zhaojiabao. Go with you, and you will be guaranteed when you pass by Zhaojiabao."

This is completely understandable.If Zhao Ting is really a hungry ghost, with the appearance of this ice beauty, he will definitely attract his attention.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding, and the tense nerves of several people relaxed.Fang Shaojun already felt guilty about making a move on the girl, and after hearing what the other said, he asked Shen Budu: "Master, we will be in Zhaojiabao soon, why don't we take this girl for a ride?"

Shen Budu glanced at the woman in black who was holding the medicine bottle tightly with her fingers, bowed her head without saying a word, seemed a little nervous, and nodded in response.

Since he made a decision, the others naturally had no objections.Lu Danxu smiled kindly at the woman: "I offended you so much just now, I'm sorry. By the way, what's your name?"

The ice beauty seemed to froze for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said her name: "My name is... Shen Taohua."
