Lin Ziran’s body stiffened and he looked directly at the other party before realizing the huge pressure…
This fear seemed to come from the depths of his soul…
This is absolute strength!
The question was, what’s wrong? What do you want? Lin Ziran wanted to cry, but had no tears, he would have come out later if he knew this would happen…
His mind began to think of the reasons. Xuan Yan still doesn’t know who he was, he doesn’t know his identity as the son of the demon. So it is impossible to kill him right now. So why?!
Lin Ziran grew sweaty from nervousness. Even if Xuan Yan just glanced at him, he felt as if there was nowhere to escape…
Just when he was about to kneel down, Xuan Yan withdrew his gaze.
It was as if he was just looking at him casually.
Then he left.
Elder Chi Feng was also a little surprised. He glanced at Lin Ziran. What was noteworthy about this child?
Or is he actually watching Mu Yang?
Lin Ziran’s mortal body was not worthy of attention… But Mu Yang is the son of destiny who can pull out the sword. It must be Mu Yang!
As a personal disciple, Mu Yang had an unlimited future.
Elder Chi Feng walked over and smiled politely: “You must be Mu Yang.”
Mu Yang nodded, and asked with some doubts: “Excuse me, Grand Elder, what did the senior’s words mean?”
Chi Feng looked at him tenderly and said with a smile: “His Lord is planning to accept you as a disciple. You can clean up tonight and move to the Saint Profound Hall tomorrow.”
Mu Yang’s expression turned shocked, and he repeated incoherently, “L-Lord?” The only person who can be called Lord by Elder Chi Feng…
Elder Chi Feng nodded, “Exactly.”
He could not help but smile when he saw Mu Yang like this. “Don’t be nervous, this is your good fortune.”
After that, he turned and left.
Lin Ziran looked at Mu Yang’s dull and cute expression, and suppressed the corners of his lips from curling. Don’t look at Mu Yang’s age; he had always been able to control himself and had a tough personality, so this is his first time seeing Mu Yang’s shock.
Were you frightened?
Your husband’s identity is quite scary.
If he saw the Jade Emperor someday, it would probably be like this.
Lin Ziran understood this feeling very well, and would not laugh at Mu Yang. Instead, he believed that Mu Yang would fall in love with Xuan Yan. In fact, there was some truth in it. Mu Yang is just a teenage boy who got along with such a person day after day. Love will stem from admiration…
Everyone had admired the strong.
The combination of a big beauty and a little beauty was quite pleasing to the eye…
The only drawback is that the big beauty is too cold.
And hard to warm up.
It took a long time for Mu Yang to finally recover. He grabbed Lin Ziran’s arm, and said, “I wasn’t dreaming, right?!”
Lin Ziran shook his head, his eyes tender as he said, “Of course not.”
Mu Yang was surprised again: “Is that really the lord? But didn’t he disappear for thousands of years?”
Lin Ziran affirmed again: “The Great Elder will not speak nonsense.”
Mu Yang patted his face, took a deep breath, and after a few more minutes, he finally recovered his calmness. His eyes were bright and happy: “I’m the lord’s disciple from now on.”
The lord’s spells are boundless. If he can learn from him, he can help Lin Ziran even more!
Lin Ziran was amused when he saw Mu Yang’s eagerness. It seemed that this was the attraction of fate!
Hey, it was still painful to watch his cub fall in love with the old popsicles, and he was afraid that this passionate love would be doused by a bucket of cold water… But now, looking at Mu Yang’s glee, what else can he do?
Of course I can only help you!
And you are the protagonist and the Son of Destiny, even if Xuan Yan is a little cold now, you are the only person he will fall in love with in the end!
Very good, the world itself helped his cub pursue his true love, and completing tasks on the way can’t be more perfect!
Presumably it won’t be cheating like the last world…
Lin Ziran was full of confidence in himself.
The two returned to Baojiang Peak.
Mu Yang will report to Xuan Yan tomorrow. Although Lin Ziran felt that he can live a life by himself and doesn’t need to be constrained by personality, when he thought that his little cotton-padded jacket was about to leave and was about to devote himself to another man, he felt like a father losing a child.
Reluctance.
The two of them walked in the direction back to West Courtyard. When they passed the law enforcement hall, they saw Zhou Yue walk in with a low expression. He exuded a low and deep aura. He didn’t even notice them when they passed by…
Lin Ziran: “…” This fat man was hit too hard today.
Distressed.
But Mu Yang greeted: “Elder Zhou.”
Zhou Yue’s body shook, and raised his head to reveal an expression that looked like a mournful concubine, but still smiled forcefully: “Ah, it’s Mu Yang, you are leaving…”
Mu Yang: “…” Elder Zhou made people feel guilty in this way.
Zhou Yue looked ashamed and forced a smile: “It’s okay, don’t bother about this old man, go go, it’s better there.”
Mu Yang pondered for a moment, cupped his hands and bowed to Zhou Yue, and said: “…Although I’ve recognized the lord as his disciple, I will not forget the care of Elder Zhou for me and Li Ye. If you require anything from me in the future, I will heed.”
Zhou Yue was still in a trance. He suddenly grew agitated, as if realising something
He looked at Mu Yang and then at Lin Ziran.
Although he lost a precious disciple…his precious disciple became the sole disciple of the lord. In the future, This disciple will become more revered and no one would dare offend him… and now, this honourable disciple’s important friend is here.
As long as he took care of Lin Ziran, he didn’t need to be afraid that Mu Yang would forget about him.
As long as Mu Yang thinks about him, wouldn’t his status as a respected disciple help him even more?
It’s not a loss, no loss!
In fact, he earned!
What a big profit.
Zhou Yue’s eyes lit up, his chin lifted and his back straightened. He looked at Mu Yang lovingly, and said with a smile: “You can rest assured, I will take good care of Li Ye and will not let him suffer!”
Mu Yang showed a happy expression and solemnly said again, “Thank you, Elder Zhou.”
Zhou Yue stroked his stomach and smiled: “You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
………………
The next day Mu Yang got up early in the morning. Although Lin Ziran wanted to sleep in, it was such an important moment of separation. So, as the affectionate partner who loved Mu Yang so much, he had to get up and see him off.
The sky hadn’t been fully brightened yet, only a hint of sunlight peeked out from the far east, sprinkling a little bit of warm, yellow brilliance.
Mu Yang looked at Lin Ziran, seemingly reluctant, and pursed his lips, “I will come back to see you when I have time.”
Lin Ziran looked at him deeply and said, “Okay.”
Mu Yang was silent for a moment, and then said: “The lord has lived for so many years, he is the number one powerhouse in the Chiyan Immortal Realm. If he is willing, he can definitely help you. I will find an opportunity to ask him.”
No, don’t do it!
He can hide from a glance. But if the lord really made a move, wouldn’t his identity as a demon be exposed? He would die ahead of time!
Xuan Yan and Ye Liuyin have been arch enemies for hundreds of thousands of years, and this Chiyan Immortal Realm’s discrimination is very extreme! Whenever they meet a demonic cultivator, they will kill them all!
If his identity is exposed, he would be either dead or disabled.
Lin Ziran hurriedly said: “How honorable is your status? Don’t act rashly and make him unhappy. I’ve already lived with it for so long, so there is no hurry.”
Mu Yang hesitated for a moment, but nodded, indicating that he understood.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly reached out and hugged Lin Ziran tightly.
Mu Yang’s ears were slightly red, and he whispered, “I’m leaving.”
Lin Ziran nodded: “Okay.”
He watched Mu Yang leave until he could no longer see him, and then returned to his room.
………………
It was already afternoon when Lin Ziran woke up.
Now that he was alone, he had to live a leisurely and beautiful life of doing nothing!
Lin Ziran happily found his way to the back mountain and looked at the lush forest. He called out the system to ask him what’s delicious here.
[The system was a bit speechless: Are you so obsessed with eating?]
Lin Ziran said sadly: “You don’t understand, there’s no TVs, no movies, no games… Besides enjoying the food, what can I do to pass time?”
[System:…] That seems to make sense.
Lin Ziran said with enthusiasm: “And I found that the design of this world is very clever. For example, the many fruits and vegetables I recently ate resemble the vegetables on earth. It should be based on the premise of real objects, but there are also some new varieties that are completely absent from the earth. This game is really well designed. I even noticed such details. As long as I am willing to discover, there will be surprises everywhere.”
[The system was a little proud: of course, our company’s games are naturally the best, and excellence is our motto.]
Lin Ziran’s eyes shone brightly, “So, you will tell me which things are the best, right?”
[System:…Hmm.]
With the help of the system, Lin Ziran survived smoothly like a fish in the water. There was no need to stock up on food now, so he doesn’t pick a lot every time, and he can eat fresh and delicious food every day.
There are still many spirit beasts on this mountain. He dared not touch the high-level spirit beast forest since it will not be him that eats spirit beasts, but the spirit beasts who eat him.
However, there are also weak ones!
Soft persimmons are the easiest to pick. For example, some small birds and rabbits can be found, and the spirit beasts on the mountain are nourished by spiritual energy all year round, so their meat was also very delicious!
[t/n: soft persimmon – the weakest]
It really makes people want to eat it a second time.
This mountain had become Lin Ziran’s back garden.
Zhou Yue’s recent experience in the Sacred Palace was quite successful. Although he failed to accept Mu Yang as his disciple, Mu Yang has been recognised by his master. What great honor is this?
The important thing is that even though Mu Yang has been recognised by his Master, he still respects him and treats him politely. Cultivator Qi could only stare at him with envy and jealousy, causing Zhou Yue to be overjoyed.
That day he returned to Baojiang Peak with his imperial sword and crossed the forest behind Xiyuan, he suddenly sniffed and keenly detected a scent…
Landing in the ground quickly, he saw Lin Ziran squatting under a big tree, holding a branch in his hand while roasting the rabbit. Golden oil dripped down… its aroma continued to flow into his nose.
Zhou Yue swallowed his saliva, coughed lightly, and scolded, “What are you doing?!”
Lin Ziran was roasting meat and never expected Zhou Yue to descend from the sky. Squatting on the ground, he looked up at the fat man.
His mind rolled, and when he was thinking about how to answer, Zhou Yue spoke again.
Zhou Yue stared directly at the rabbit, his eyes were very, very frank as he said: “If you give me half of it, I won’t report the matter of you privately hunting spirit beasts. What do you think?”
Lin Ziran: “…”
Seeing Lin Ziran’s speechless expression, Zhou Yue thought he was unwilling to give up half of the rabbit. After thinking about it, he quickly added: “I see that you have limited ingredients and don’t have enough seasonings. You also can’t hunt high-level spirit beasts…but I’m different. It’s very convenient for me to go down the mountain to buy materials. I can catch whatever spirit beasts you want. As long as you do give me half of everything in the future, these are not problems!”
Zhou Yue still loves to eat in the mortal world, but his craftsmanship is particularly bad. Ever since he entered the holy palace, he had been surrounded by conscientious cultivators, all of whom can practise bigu, and his own dignified self was too embarrassed to make people cook for him… It’s been a long time since he even smelled meat; he was very pitiful.
[t/n: bigu: abstinence from food]
Lin Ziran glanced at him, tearing off half of the rabbit without hesitation: “Deal.”
Zhou Yue was overjoyed, gazing at Lin Ziran’s with heartfelt love. Originally, he kept this child only to win Mu Yang over, but now he knows what a wise decision he had made!
Since coming to this world, Lin Ziran had been thinking about how to make food for himself all day long, and after careful and systematic teaching, he developed some skill in cooking. He never expected that it would come in handy at this time!
Both of them were very satisfied with the result and reached a friendly food agreement.
A few days passed.
With Zhou Yue’s ingredients, Lin Ziran’s recipes became more and more extravagant, and his life was extremely comfortable.
One day, the two of them sat under the tree to rest after becoming full from food and drink.
Zhou Yue patted his stomach, picked his teeth with a branch, and burped contentedly.
Lin Ziran leaned against the tree trunk with his hands behind his head and quietly glanced at Zhou Yue’s saber, which never left his body. This fat man had a bold and generous personality. Although he is usually a little gleeful, he wasn’t feminine. He didn’t understand why he would use such a nondescript sword. Could he be trying to act like a princess…
Zhou Yue turned his head and saw Lin Ziran’s gaze. He smiled and asked, “Are you curious about why my sword is like this?”
Lin Ziran didn’t expect to be caught peeking and was a bit embarrassed.
Zhou Yue didn’t show any displeasure, but smiled: “If you want to ask, just ask. It’s no secret.”
He took off the long sword behind his back and gently brushed it across the silver sword body. As his gaze fell on the pink spikes, a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes. “If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have died…”
“She is called Hong Fei, and she is my dao companion.” Zhou Yue sighed, his eyes were empty as if recalling something from a long time ago, and his tone was slightly sad: “I actually hoped she could come here with me… all my life, I only pursued this path. So I worked hard to cultivate and came to the Chiyan Immortal Realm, but it was a pity that she could not accompany me…”
It turns out that this sword was left by his Daoist companion after death. Because he missed her, he simply used her weapon as his own sword… Lin Ziran really didn’t expect this fat man to be so infatuated!
Unexpectedly, it caused the other person sadness. Lin Ziran quickly changed the subject and said, “Bring some peppercorns over tomorrow, and I will make you spicy rabbit head.”
When Zhou Yue heard what he would be eating and immediately swept away his sorrow, rubbing his hands and saying, “Okay, good!”
………………
In the Saint Xuan Temple.
Mu Yang sat cross-legged in a room. He had been here for more than half a month, and Xuan Yan had left after giving him a cultivation method.
This method seems simple but was skillful. Mu Yang had been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and could learn everything quickly. However, this method that Xuan Yan taught him was obscure and difficult to understand. After half a month, he had barely reached the threshold. Now he knew he had been too narrow-minded.
However, the difficulties have inspired Mu Yang’s tenacity, so he will definitely succeed in his cultivation!
Xuan Yan stood in the empty hall with a water mirror in front of him.
In the water mirror was the image of Mu Yang cultivating.
The young man practiced very seriously, sweat forming on his forehead. His eyes were tightly shut, and the Di Chen sword floated in front of him and shook slightly…
He didn’t expect the other person to enter the threshold in half a month, but he did not disappoint him.
Xuan Yan’s expression was always so vague that the slight bit of comfort didn’t seem obvious.
He wiped off the water mirror with a wave, and then a sound rang in his ear.
I was wondering why he left me behind. I didn’t expect him to follow this kid to the Holy Palace…
Xuan Yan frowned slightly, and a tiny golden light flashed past his dark eyes, his expression condensed and solemn.
Didn’t you recognize him? Don’t you want to see him?
I want to see him, I missed him so much… I finally have eyes now and can talk, I want to see him, I want to talk to him.
Xuan Yan said lightly: “But he doesn’t necessarily want to see you. Have you forgotten how he left?”
He lied to you to say that he would not go, but in the end he pried away your finger and left.
He no longer wants you.
So what? I don’t care at all, I just want to see him, I have wanted to see him for a long, long time…
I want to see him. Lend me your eyes.
Why do you resist this way? Actually you are me, you want to see him too, right? Don’t deceive yourself and pretend to be indifferent…
You obviously can’t let him go.
Xuan Yan smiled, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and his tone was dull: “I have never been you, you are just my demon. I will refine you soon.”
It was an accident.
Back then, he fought against Ye Liuyin to seal the Devildom. Although he defeated Ye Liuyin in that battle, his soul was also injured by Ye Liuyin, and a trace of demonic energy remained. Later, in order to protect the Chiyan Immortal Realm, he did not hesitate to consume the essence and blood of his life and set up ninety-nine pillars, which was even more damaging.
Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, he has been in seclusion to heal his wounds, and his cultivation base has long been restored, but the scar on the soul has been unable to heal for a long time. This caused the devilish energy to gradually grow, and finally giving birth to a demon.
The heart demon harassed him day and night, making him restless.
In order to refine this heart demon, he had to take risks, seal his three immortal souls and seven mortal forms, use the reincarnation realm to enter the reincarnation, go through the sufferings of the world, taste the seven sufferings of life, all to try and weaken the power of the heart demon in this way…
But there was a small accident.
Because of a small variable, the heart demon grew obsessed, and the degree of weakening was not within his expectations. If he wanted to completely refine it, it would take a lot of work…
Xuan Yan stretched out his hand and gently brushed the bead string on his wrist. The light blue transparent beads glowed with faint fluorescence. This was a spiritual tool made of Zhenling Jade to help him stabilize his dao consciousness and protect him from being attacked by the demons.
Due to the beads, the sound in the ear let out a painful cry!
Do you think this can suppress me? You’re too simple! You have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, yet you don’t know love and hate. How do you know the wonderful taste of emotions and desires? As long as I still have a trace of thought, you’ll never be free. Don’t dream of refining me!
Xuan Yan’s voice was cold: “Really? Do you care so much about the person who left you?”
I must get him! ! !
Xuan Yan’s pupils were deep and gloomy, and he spoke softly, with a misty tone: “Your short life is just a drop in the ocean to me. Those who abandon me should not worry, do you know what my obsession is?”
You have obsessions too?
Xuan Yan said lightly: “My obsession is to protect the peace of this world. As for that small child, what qualifications does he have to become my obsession?
You are not me at all, just a parasite. Your obsession is not my obsession, it is only a matter of time before I refine you. ”
The voice laughed strangely.
Why bother to separate yourself from me? I’m one with you… If I’m not you, why don’t you just kill me? Do you know what your biggest weakness is? It’s that you are too pretentious, thinking you can regard love and nothing. You don’t partake in anything yet you can’t ever escape it.”
Xuan Yan smiled: “I am a god.”
As he said, he pressed the bead string on his hand, and the beads brightened again. The voice in his ear finally quieted down.
When the voice was there earlier, Xuan Yan might have looked calm. But when his inner demon was temporarily suppressed, his brows wrinkled and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.
The tenaciousness of this demon is still a little beyond his imagination…
Because of that variable…
The appearance of Lin Ziran was what his inner demon wanted.
Persistence is its endless food. If he doesn’t find a way, this demon will be even more rampant in time…
Xuan Yan’s eyes sank.
A little liar who shouldn’t have appeared had appeared and did something he shouldn’t have…
He closed his eyes.
Now that it’s come to this, it’s meaningless to blame the little liar. His heart demon and him have tortured each other for hundreds of thousands of years, whether it was day or night. Now that Mu Yang has appeared, he can inherit his legacy, so that even if the Demon World invades again, they will be ready…
Mu Yang is the key to resolving this catastrophe which even he can’t figure out how to resolve.
The only thing he can do now is to cultivate Mu Yang as a talent as soon as possible, so that when the catastrophe comes, Mu Yang will have the power to fight back.
………………
Mu Yang hasn’t come back for more than a month since he started cultivating in the Saint Profound Hall.
Lin Ziran ate and drank every day, and almost forgot who he was.
[Lin Ziran sighs: I really didn’t expect that I, who used to only know of instant noodles, has now become a gourmet expert…]
【system:……】
[Lin Ziran: Sure enough, human potential is endless! This game has such benefits!]
【system:……】
Lin Ziran caught a rabbit today and hummed a little tune happily.
The little white rabbit is white and fluffy, tender and stewed~
Because he eats well and sleeps well, Li Ye’s small body finally gained some flesh recently, but this body used to be too thin, so Lin Ziran felt that it was just right to be neither fat nor thin now.
He was very confident in his own potential!
When Ye Liuyin finds him in the future and gives him the inheritance of the demon, he can be reborn overnight. According to the script introduction… Li Ye is also a super charming demon!
Lin Ziran took a bite of meat while thinking about it. Zhou Yue was not eating today.
When eating alone, he suddenly thought of the blind man again…
That hapless guy ate a lot of his experimental food. No matter how unpalatable and disgusting it was, he is never picky, and now that his craft has finally advanced by leaps and bounds, he had no chance to try it…
Unlucky, too unlucky.
Thinking of this, Lin Ziran felt sympathy. He tore a rabbit leg down, dug a hole in the ground, and poured a glass of fruit wine on it. He sighed, “For you. I’m letting you try my current cooking. It’s much better than before.”
………………
Shengxuan Hall, thousands of miles above.
Xuan Yan waved his hand to make the water curtain disappear.
Did you see it? He still thinks about me, fearing that I won’t eat or drink well.
I want to see him!
Xuan Yan was overwhelmed by the voice.
He said coldly: “This doesn’t mean anything, don’t forget that he left.”
I said I don’t care, I just want him, don’t you want him too?…
Xuan Yan remained unmoved: “He likes Mu Yang. Even if you get him, he won’t love you.”
The voice in the ear suddenly became angry!
You useless thing, trash! Even a wisp of your own soul can’t be compared!
It doesn’t matter if he likes Mu Yang, you are much stronger than Mu Yang, and Mu Yang can’t win against you. You can just steal him back!
If he wants to escape, just break his leg and lock him up so that he can’t leave again.
Don’t lie to yourself, you want him too, right?
He should belong to us.
Lin Ziran’s body stiffened and he looked directly at the other party before realizing the huge pressure…
This fear seemed to come from the depths of his soul…
This is absolute strength!
The question was, what’s wrong? What do you want? Lin Ziran wanted to cry, but had no tears, he would have come out later if he knew this would happen…

Lin Ziran said with enthusiasm: “And I found that the design of this world is very clever. For example, the many fruits and vegetables I recently ate resemble the vegetables on earth. It should be based on the premise of real objects, but there are also some new varieties that are completely absent from the earth. This game is really well designed. I even noticed such details. As long as I am willing to discover, there will be surprises everywhere.”
[The system was a little proud: of course, our company’s games are naturally the best, and excellence is our motto.]
Lin Ziran’s eyes shone brightly, “So, you will tell me which things are the best, right?”
[System:…Hmm.]
With the help of the system, Lin Ziran survived smoothly like a fish in the water. There was no need to stock up on food now, so he doesn’t pick a lot every time, and he can eat fresh and delicious food every day.
There are still many spirit beasts on this mountain. He dared not touch the high-level spirit beast forest since it will not be him that eats spirit beasts, but the spirit beasts who eat him.
However, there are also weak ones!
Soft persimmons are the easiest to pick. For example, some small birds and rabbits can be found, and the spirit beasts on the mountain are nourished by spiritual energy all year round, so their meat was also very delicious!
[t/n: soft persimmon – the weakest]
It really makes people want to eat it a second time.
This mountain had become Lin Ziran’s back garden.
Zhou Yue’s recent experience in the Sacred Palace was quite successful. Although he failed to accept Mu Yang as his disciple, Mu Yang has been recognised by his master. What great honor is this?
The important thing is that even though Mu Yang has been recognised by his Master, he still respects him and treats him politely. Cultivator Qi could only stare at him with envy and jealousy, causing Zhou Yue to be overjoyed.
That day he returned to Baojiang Peak with his imperial sword and crossed the forest behind Xiyuan, he suddenly sniffed and keenly detected a scent…
Landing in the ground quickly, he saw Lin Ziran squatting under a big tree, holding a branch in his hand while roasting the rabbit. Golden oil dripped down… its aroma continued to flow into his nose.
Zhou Yue swallowed his saliva, coughed lightly, and scolded, “What are you doing?!”
Lin Ziran was roasting meat and never expected Zhou Yue to descend from the sky. Squatting on the ground, he looked up at the fat man.
His mind rolled, and when he was thinking about how to answer, Zhou Yue spoke again.
Zhou Yue stared directly at the rabbit, his eyes were very, very frank as he said: “If you give me half of it, I won’t report the matter of you privately hunting spirit beasts. What do you think?”
Lin Ziran: “…”
Seeing Lin Ziran’s speechless expression, Zhou Yue thought he was unwilling to give up half of the rabbit. After thinking about it, he quickly added: “I see that you have limited ingredients and don’t have enough seasonings. You also can’t hunt high-level spirit beasts…but I’m different. It’s very convenient for me to go down the mountain to buy materials. I can catch whatever spirit beasts you want. As long as you do give me half of everything in the future, these are not problems!”
Zhou Yue still loves to eat in the mortal world, but his craftsmanship is particularly bad. Ever since he entered the holy palace, he had been surrounded by conscientious cultivators, all of whom can practise bigu, and his own dignified self was too embarrassed to make people cook for him… It’s been a long time since he even smelled meat; he was very pitiful.
[t/n: bigu: abstinence from food]
Lin Ziran glanced at him, tearing off half of the rabbit without hesitation: “Deal.”
Zhou Yue was overjoyed, gazing at Lin Ziran’s with heartfelt love. Originally, he kept this child only to win Mu Yang over, but now he knows what a wise decision he had made!
Since coming to this world, Lin Ziran had been thinking about how to make food for himself all day long, and after careful and systematic teaching, he developed some skill in cooking. He never expected that it would come in handy at this time!
Both of them were very satisfied with the result and reached a friendly food agreement.
A few days passed.
With Zhou Yue’s ingredients, Lin Ziran’s recipes became more and more extravagant, and his life was extremely comfortable.
One day, the two of them sat under the tree to rest after becoming full from food and drink.
Zhou Yue patted his stomach, picked his teeth with a branch, and burped contentedly.
Lin Ziran leaned against the tree trunk with his hands behind his head and quietly glanced at Zhou Yue’s saber, which never left his body. This fat man had a bold and generous personality. Although he is usually a little gleeful, he wasn’t feminine. He didn’t understand why he would use such a nondescript sword. Could he be trying to act like a princess…
Zhou Yue turned his head and saw Lin Ziran’s gaze. He smiled and asked, “Are you curious about why my sword is like this?”
Lin Ziran didn’t expect to be caught peeking and was a bit embarrassed.
Zhou Yue didn’t show any displeasure, but smiled: “If you want to ask, just ask. It’s no secret.”
He took off the long sword behind his back and gently brushed it across the silver sword body. As his gaze fell on the pink spikes, a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes. “If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have died…”
“She is called Hong Fei, and she is my dao companion.” Zhou Yue sighed, his eyes were empty as if recalling something from a long time ago, and his tone was slightly sad: “I actually hoped she could come here with me… all my life, I only pursued this path. So I worked hard to cultivate and came to the Chiyan Immortal Realm, but it was a pity that she could not accompany me…”
It turns out that this sword was left by his Daoist companion after death. Because he missed her, he simply used her weapon as his own sword… Lin Ziran really didn’t expect this fat man to be so infatuated!
Unexpectedly, it caused the other person sadness. Lin Ziran quickly changed the subject and said, “Bring some peppercorns over tomorrow, and I will make you spicy rabbit head.”
When Zhou Yue heard what he would be eating and immediately swept away his sorrow, rubbing his hands and saying, “Okay, good!”
………………
In the Saint Xuan Temple.
Mu Yang sat cross-legged in a room. He had been here for more than half a month, and Xuan Yan had left after giving him a cultivation method.
This method seems simple but was skillful. Mu Yang had been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and could learn everything quickly. However, this method that Xuan Yan taught him was obscure and difficult to understand. After half a month, he had barely reached the threshold. Now he knew he had been too narrow-minded.
However, the difficulties have inspired Mu Yang’s tenacity, so he will definitely succeed in his cultivation!
Xuan Yan stood in the empty hall with a water mirror in front of him.
In the water mirror was the image of Mu Yang cultivating.
The young man practiced very seriously, sweat forming on his forehead. His eyes were tightly shut, and the Di Chen sword floated in front of him and shook slightly…
He didn’t expect the other person to enter the threshold in half a month, but he did not disappoint him.
Xuan Yan’s expression was always so vague that the slight bit of comfort didn’t seem obvious.
He wiped off the water mirror with a wave, and then a sound rang in his ear.
I was wondering why he left me behind. I didn’t expect him to follow this kid to the Holy Palace…
Xuan Yan frowned slightly, and a tiny golden light flashed past his dark eyes, his expression condensed and solemn.
Didn’t you recognize him? Don’t you want to see him?
I want to see him, I missed him so much… I finally have eyes now and can talk, I want to see him, I want to talk to him.
Xuan Yan said lightly: “But he doesn’t necessarily want to see you. Have you forgotten how he left?”
He lied to you to say that he would not go, but in the end he pried away your finger and left.
He no longer wants you.
So what? I don’t care at all, I just want to see him, I have wanted to see him for a long, long time…
I want to see him. Lend me your eyes.
Why do you resist this way? Actually you are me, you want to see him too, right? Don’t deceive yourself and pretend to be indifferent…
You obviously can’t let him go.
Xuan Yan smiled, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and his tone was dull: “I have never been you, you are just my demon. I will refine you soon.”
It was an accident.
Back then, he fought against Ye Liuyin to seal the Devildom. Although he defeated Ye Liuyin in that battle, his soul was also injured by Ye Liuyin, and a trace of demonic energy remained. Later, in order to protect the Chiyan Immortal Realm, he did not hesitate to consume the essence and blood of his life and set up ninety-nine pillars, which was even more damaging.
Over the past hundreds of thousands of years, he has been in seclusion to heal his wounds, and his cultivation base has long been restored, but the scar on the soul has been unable to heal for a long time. This caused the devilish energy to gradually grow, and finally giving birth to a demon.
The heart demon harassed him day and night, making him restless.
In order to refine this heart demon, he had to take risks, seal his three immortal souls and seven mortal forms, use the reincarnation realm to enter the reincarnation, go through the sufferings of the world, taste the seven sufferings of life, all to try and weaken the power of the heart demon in this way…
But there was a small accident.
Because of a small variable, the heart demon grew obsessed, and the degree of weakening was not within his expectations. If he wanted to completely refine it, it would take a lot of work…
Xuan Yan stretched out his hand and gently brushed the bead string on his wrist. The light blue transparent beads glowed with faint fluorescence. This was a spiritual tool made of Zhenling Jade to help him stabilize his dao consciousness and protect him from being attacked by the demons.
Due to the beads, the sound in the ear let out a painful cry!
Do you think this can suppress me? You’re too simple! You have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, yet you don’t know love and hate. How do you know the wonderful taste of emotions and desires? As long as I still have a trace of thought, you’ll never be free. Don’t dream of refining me!
Xuan Yan’s voice was cold: “Really? Do you care so much about the person who left you?”
I must get him! ! !
Xuan Yan’s pupils were deep and gloomy, and he spoke softly, with a misty tone: “Your short life is just a drop in the ocean to me. Those who abandon me should not worry, do you know what my obsession is?”
You have obsessions too?
Xuan Yan said lightly: “My obsession is to protect the peace of this world. As for that small child, what qualifications does he have to become my obsession?
You are not me at all, just a parasite. Your obsession is not my obsession, it is only a matter of time before I refine you. ”
The voice laughed strangely.
Why bother to separate yourself from me? I’m one with you… If I’m not you, why don’t you just kill me? Do you know what your biggest weakness is? It’s that you are too pretentious, thinking you can regard love and nothing. You don’t partake in anything yet you can’t ever escape it.”
Xuan Yan smiled: “I am a god.”
As he said, he pressed the bead string on his hand, and the beads brightened again. The voice in his ear finally quieted down.
When the voice was there earlier, Xuan Yan might have looked calm. But when his inner demon was temporarily suppressed, his brows wrinkled and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.
The tenaciousness of this demon is still a little beyond his imagination…
Because of that variable…
The appearance of Lin Ziran was what his inner demon wanted.
Persistence is its endless food. If he doesn’t find a way, this demon will be even more rampant in time…
Xuan Yan’s eyes sank.
A little liar who shouldn’t have appeared had appeared and did something he shouldn’t have…
He closed his eyes.
Now that it’s come to this, it’s meaningless to blame the little liar. His heart demon and him have tortured each other for hundreds of thousands of years, whether it was day or night. Now that Mu Yang has appeared, he can inherit his legacy, so that even if the Demon World invades again, they will be ready…
Mu Yang is the key to resolving this catastrophe which even he can’t figure out how to resolve.
The only thing he can do now is to cultivate Mu Yang as a talent as soon as possible, so that when the catastrophe comes, Mu Yang will have the power to fight back.
………………
Mu Yang hasn’t come back for more than a month since he started cultivating in the Saint Profound Hall.
Lin Ziran ate and drank every day, and almost forgot who he was.
[Lin Ziran sighs: I really didn’t expect that I, who used to only know of instant noodles, has now become a gourmet expert…]
【system:……】
[Lin Ziran: Sure enough, human potential is endless! This game has such benefits!]
【system:……】
Lin Ziran caught a rabbit today and hummed a little tune happily.
The little white rabbit is white and fluffy, tender and stewed~
Because he eats well and sleeps well, Li Ye’s small body finally gained some flesh recently, but this body used to be too thin, so Lin Ziran felt that it was just right to be neither fat nor thin now.
He was very confident in his own potential!
When Ye Liuyin finds him in the future and gives him the inheritance of the demon, he can be reborn overnight. According to the script introduction… Li Ye is also a super charming demon!
Lin Ziran took a bite of meat while thinking about it. Zhou Yue was not eating today.
When eating alone, he suddenly thought of the blind man again…
That hapless guy ate a lot of his experimental food. No matter how unpalatable and disgusting it was, he is never picky, and now that his craft has finally advanced by leaps and bounds, he had no chance to try it…
Unlucky, too unlucky.
Thinking of this, Lin Ziran felt sympathy. He tore a rabbit leg down, dug a hole in the ground, and poured a glass of fruit wine on it. He sighed, “For you. I’m letting you try my current cooking. It’s much better than before.”
………………
Shengxuan Hall, thousands of miles above.
Xuan Yan waved his hand to make the water curtain disappear.
Did you see it? He still thinks about me, fearing that I won’t eat or drink well.
I want to see him!
Xuan Yan was overwhelmed by the voice.
He said coldly: “This doesn’t mean anything, don’t forget that he left.”
I said I don’t care, I just want him, don’t you want him too?…
Xuan Yan remained unmoved: “He likes Mu Yang. Even if you get him, he won’t love you.”
The voice in the ear suddenly became angry!
You useless thing, trash! Even a wisp of your own soul can’t be compared!
It doesn’t matter if he likes Mu Yang, you are much stronger than Mu Yang, and Mu Yang can’t win against you. You can just steal him back!
If he wants to escape, just break his leg and lock him up so that he can’t leave again.
Don’t lie to yourself, you want him too, right?
He should belong to us.
