Opening: Me, I become stronger when I am beaten!

After leaving the tomb of the gods, Ye Chen and Xuan Xin turned back the same way, and it took less than a day to return to the Holy Land.

This time when I went to the tomb of the gods, the fusion of Xuanxin and the corpse, what changes happened is unknown for the time being, and Ye Chen didn't know where to start.

The only change is that Xuan Xin became a little colder than usual.

This change made Ye Chen feel a little uncomfortable, maybe it was the return of the memory of his life, he asked, but Xuan Xin never answered.

In the next few days, Xuan Xin sometimes came to the top of the mountain to enjoy the scenery, and sat on the edge of the cliff in a daze.

This has happened more than once. Since coming back, Xuanxin has this habit. It is neither cultivating nor looking for a breakthrough opportunity, which makes people feel a little strange.

Ye Chen followed and sat aside.

He said lightly: "Since you came back from the tomb of God, you have changed a lot."

"People change, don't you too?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen pointed at himself in doubt, not knowing which aspect it was referring to.

"You're getting stronger."

After Xuan Xin finished speaking, she got up and left directly, as if she wanted to avoid it.

Ye Chen scratched his head, being able to make such a joke proved that Xuanxin was still the same Xuanxin as before, but it seemed that he couldn't find any results.

He sighed and had no choice but to give up.

On this day, he was still meditating in his room when he heard footsteps outside and the door was pushed open.

He opened his eyes and saw that it was Kong Linger's aura, so he closed his eyes again and concentrated on it, not paying attention.

"Brother Ye, it will be my birthday in two days. This time I came here to tell you that you have to give me a little surprise."

"surprise?"

Ye Chen murmured, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I took down the suzerain of the Wanshou sect and snatched the suzerain's seal for you. Is this a surprise?"

Hearing this, Kong Linger let out a "puchi" laugh.

"Okay, I want to collect all the thousands of spirit beasts from the Wanshou Sect and use them as nourishment for Little Qingluan. It must be good."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Chen shrank his neck. He was just joking, but he didn't expect the little princess to be so ruthless.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I will also send invitations to others. Let me deliver invitations myself. Not everyone is entitled to this kind of treatment. You can go and have fun."

After Kong Linger finished speaking, she bounced away, coming and going like the wind.

After Kong Linger left, Ye Chen closed his eyes and meditated again.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. On this day, Ye Chen called Xuan Xin to attend the little princess's birthday celebration together.

This birthday celebration, speaking of high-profile words, did not invite other major sects to celebrate, but simply held it at their own home.

If it is said to be low-key, it is not low-key. The Holy Land was dealing with some things, and some elders and core disciples who were out were invited to celebrate Kong Linger's birthday together.

"Morning Senior Brother Ye!"

"I met Senior Brother Ye and Senior Sister Xuanxin."

Walking on the road, there were constant disciples bowing to Ye Chen with a very respectful attitude.

Now he is well-known, and most of the monks in Nanlitian have heard a thing or two about him.

Many disciples went to the birthday celebration one after another, carrying all kinds of exquisite gift boxes in their hands, but Ye Chen was empty-handed, as if he was going to eat and drink for free, but no one dared to say anything.

When we came to the hall, several large tables were already filled with banquets. There were no fewer than 100 people present, from the Zongmen's senior management to the outer court disciples.

A disciple walked forward slowly, dragging a golden birdcage in his hand.

"Happy birthday, princess. This time, our brothers and sisters went to the Qingxia Mountains to search everywhere, and finally found a three-legged golden crow. Let's see, princess."

In this golden birdcage, there is indeed a dark golden bird with a slight luster, which looks a bit extraordinary, but the third leg is really unflattering.

There is only one toe, slightly protruding, no matter how you look at it, the blood is not pure, and even the blood has been thinned to one in ten million.

Kong Linger raised her hand to take the birdcage.

"This little Golden Crow looks pretty good, let's make food for Qingluan, but it's a bit small, not enough for a meal."

Hearing this, the disciple was taken aback on the spot.

Seeing that the little princess called Qingluan over, the Golden Crow was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to move at all, and was swallowed by Qingluan in a blink of an eye, not a single feather was left.

The disciple was stunned. The gift they had worked so hard to find had just entered Qingluan's belly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit stiff, an elder walked over with a smile, holding an exquisite gift box in his hand, and when he opened it, there was a shiny silver bracelet inside.

"Princess, this is a silver moon bracelet that I made out of meteoric iron from outside the territory. It can be called a rare treasure. Its material is hard but soft, and it can emit light blue light at night."

This time, Kong Linger still didn't show any face.

"Tch, compared to the exquisite jade bracelet that father gave to Ye Shige, it's a bit far behind."

Hearing this, the elder was too embarrassed to speak on the spot.

Seeing this, Shengzun stood up and scolded: "Ling'er, don't be rude."

Then, he exchanged pleasantries with several high-level officials.

Kong Ling'er pouted and didn't speak any more.

She glanced around, and finally her eyes fell on Ye Chen.

"Brother Ye, can you bring me any presents this time? I know that the presents you gave must be extraordinary."

Ye Chen slowly opened the storage bag, and took out an exquisite small box, only the size of a palm. Although it was exquisite, it didn't have any appearance of aura. It seemed to be just an ordinary thing.

Press the button in the middle of the box lightly with your finger, and the box blooms like a flower, with a delicate little figure dancing in the center and playing a beautiful piece of music at the same time.

When everyone saw this note box, they shook their heads. This is just an ordinary folk handicraft, so what's so interesting about it.

It's just that the mechanism inside, this kind of beautiful music, they have never heard before, it has a feeling of cleansing the soul.

Kong Linger danced happily on the spot.

"This is really the best gift I've ever received!"

Ye Chen said again: "In my hometown, longevity noodles are always eaten on birthdays, and I just brought a portion today."

As he said that, he exchanged a portion of longevity noodles from the system mall. The steaming aroma was tangy, with both a strong meat flavor and the aroma of bone broth. The vegetables were also very delicate in size.

Everyone at the scene was attracted by the smell, wishing that today was their birthday.

Kong Ling'er picked up the chopsticks, took a sip, and her eyes lit up.

"It's so delicious. This is a delicacy that I have never tasted since I was a child. It's absolutely amazing!"

Then, she began to gobble it up without paying attention to etiquette.
