The years I was in the human world

After leaving the ghost house, there was no human habitation for thousands of miles. Lu Zhouxue pursed his lips and held Peacock, walking quickly on the snow without leaving any traces. The young man followed him slowly. Seeing his serious face, he couldn't help but said, "I know you are anxious, but don't rush around like a headless fly."

"You are the headless fly." Lu Zhouxue retorted to the young man casually. Finally, on the third day after leaving the ghost house, they returned to the Cangwu wilderness. Lu Zhouxue breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they left the ghost house, they would be half safe.

As for why the two of them appeared here, it all started from three days ago when Lu Zhouxue used his divine power to summon "Mu Cangshan" in the ghost house.

Strong winds blew around Lu Zhouxue. Most of the evil ghosts kneeling outside the palace retreated temporarily after feeling threatened. Those who were slow to dodge were turned into ashes under the flying snow. The Ghost King wrapped the beautiful ghost in a green robe and held her tightly in his arms, letting the fierce wind cut scars on her arms and back. A strand of hair was cut off by the strong wind. Gongsun Wuyin poked his head out of his arms and said in fear, "Master?"

The Ghost King silently pressed the person against his chest. He looked around and saw that even though the evil ghosts avoided the falling snow, they were still crushed by Lu Zhouxue's pressure and rolled on the ground with blood flowing from their seven orifices, in pain, and screaming. Even Lin Xiyang, who was watching the show at the side, was not spared. He knelt down, barely relying on the sword inserted into the ground to stabilize his body, his fingertips clenched until they turned white.

The only ones who were not affected were the Ghost King and the beautiful ghost he had been protecting from the very beginning. However, the Ghost King soon realized something was wrong. The young man in red noticed something was wrong and slipped away. Now Lu Zhouxue stood not far away with frost on her fingertips, staring at him unkindly.

"Go hide under the statue." The Ghost King whispered in the ghost's ear, his eyes still fixed on Lu Zhouxue. It was he who told the Wuxian people how to create gods. Naturally, he also recognized some of the techniques that were said to be from the world of gods and passed down from ancient times, such as the Mu Cang Mountain that Lu Zhouxue had just mentioned. No matter how much power this technique had left after being passed down to this day, it was not something a homeless ghost like Gongsun Wuyin could withstand.

"Master!" Gongsun Wuyin naturally knew the severity of the situation, but he was the Ghost King's subordinate. It was bad enough that he couldn't follow his master around, but how could he hide behind his master?

"The way you two act makes me look like a bad guy." Lu Zhouxue suddenly appeared behind the Ghost King at some point, and as he spoke, he swung the Qi Guan Shan He in his hand towards the Ghost King. The Ghost King's face changed slightly, and he dodged while holding the beautiful ghost in his arms.

"The Ghost King runs so fast." Lu Zhouxue's attack missed, and he quickly gathered spiritual power in his palm again. He is the God of Four Seasons, but because he is in charge of life and death, he can also be considered half a martial god. It's just that he hasn't used a sword for ten thousand years. In order to make up for the lack of martial power, all his moves, even such position spells, are offensive.

The Ghost King wanted to protect the beautiful ghost, but was quickly beaten back by Lu Zhouxue, who had the white silk wrapped around his fingertips and was controlling the strong wind to cut the Ghost King into pieces. Just as the Ghost King's face darkened and he was ready to fight him to the death, the young man in red who had been hiding aside suddenly appeared again, stealthily bypassed Lu Zhouxue's protective strong wind, came close to him, said nothing, pressed his right hand, and completely eliminated his murderous intent.

What are you doing? Lu Zhouxue looked up at the boy and asked silently.

"Do you want to crush this little peacock to death?" The young man continued to dispel the terrifying pressure emanating from Lu Zhouxue. He only asked this question and then threw the unconscious peacock into Lu Zhouxue's arms. He actually slipped back and brought the peacock here without knowing when.

As a result of the young man's disturbance, Lu Zhouxue's momentum, which had just been raised, disappeared. He fell to the ground with Peacock in his arms and no longer pursued the Ghost King. Snow was falling in the Ghost Palace, and the howling wind was still there, but not as aggressive as before.

Lu Zhouxue checked Peacock's injuries in annoyance. He was out of control. The moment the truth was revealed to him by the evil spirit, he really didn't care about anything else. He only wanted to break free from his restraints and not be controlled by the Ghost King. He completely forgot about rashly using God's power, and how much unbearable damage it would cause to an ordinary creature like Peacock.

Lu Zhouxue carefully controlled his spiritual power and tried his best to repair the damage caused by the heavy pressure to the peacock. The boy discussed the conditions with the Ghost King: "You have seen the current situation clearly. Why not let us go? It will be good for both you and me. What do you think, Ghost King?"

As the saying goes, opportunity cannot be missed. Now that Lu Zhouxue has arrived at the Ghost Palace, the Ghost King wants the divine bone in his body and is not willing to let him go. Therefore, after hearing the young man's words, he was a little hesitant and still wanted to try to force Lu Zhouxue to stay.

The young man saw through the Ghost King's thoughts. He put the heavy sword he had just taken from the chaos on the ground, as if to attract the Ghost King's attention. He turned the light sword he often used in his hand and reminded him, "It's not that I don't believe in your ability, but--"

The young man's eyes fell on the Ghost King's arms and continued, "Can he bear it?"

In this way, the two of them left the ghost house with Peacock safely. However, the two of them were not seriously injured, but Peacock was slightly injured because of Lu Zhouxue. The latter didn't know what to do, but the young man came over to take a look and quickly gave an explanation: "This girl's bones are too fragile to withstand your pressure. It is also a critical period of growth. Under the heavy pressure, there are signs of forced growth."

Hearing this, Lu Zhouxue tightened his grip on Kong Que. He looked at the boy as if he had saved his life, and asked worriedly, "Is there anything serious?"

"If she survives, her cultivation will increase significantly. It's a blessing in disguise." The young man said. He looked at Lu Zhouxue in surprise. This peacock seemed to be the daughter of the previous Phoenix. Why was the current Phoenix Lord also so worried? Could it be that they had developed feelings for each other after being together for so long?

Lu Zhouxue's mind was on Peacock, and he didn't notice the way the boy looked at him. After listening to the boy's words, he asked again: "What if she can't make it?" Everything has its pros and cons. Peacock suffered from his misfortune, so how could Lu Zhouxue not worry? Besides, people are all made of flesh and blood. At first, he offered to take care of Peacock out of pity, and now he couldn't stand the loneliness and wanted to depend on her.

"If she can't make it, then there's nothing left." The young man shrugged, "But her condition isn't that serious. The chances of her not making it are very small. At most, she'll just feel a little uncomfortable."

"It wasn't a big deal in the first place. This girl can be considered a blessing in disguise." The young man looked at Lu Zhouxue, who frowned and said nothing with a face full of regret, and said helplessly, "Don't blame yourself so much."

"This is my negligence." Lu Zhouxue touched the head of Peacock with heartache. Peacock was still humming in pain even in a coma. His once distant and cold face was now filled with worry and anxiety. No matter who saw it, they would probably misunderstand that the person in his arms was his own daughter.

The young man saw Lu Zhouxue's expression, shook his head slightly and sighed. Compassion, what a precious thing. Unfortunately, everyone with compassion has paid a price for compassion. Whether it's Huang Zhong or Xuan Du, they have all changed beyond recognition.

"Do you care about her?" The young man suddenly asked softly. Lu Zhouxue didn't react for a moment and said "Ah". The young man didn't say anything and asked again calmly, "This girl is Zhu Huang's daughter. She has nothing to do with you, but you seem to care about her a lot. Why?"

"No reason." Lu Zhouxue said softly. He walked very fast on the snow without leaving any traces. The scenery on both sides of the river quickly fell back. Lu Zhouxue's tone was gentle and calm in contrast. "I care about her, and she needs me. This is enough, even if she is not my daughter."

We are both wanderers in this world, so why should we know each other before we meet? We are together, this is the whole reason.

"Really..." The young man was a little dazed, as if he had recalled something. This time he really asked with some doubt, "Aren't you afraid of entrusting the wrong person?"

"No fear." Lu Zhouxue answered straightforwardly. His eyes were more gentle than ever before and his tone was extremely calm. When he looked over, for a moment he seemed to be the same person in the boy's memory. He said, "What are you afraid of? They are not heartless and ungrateful people." His deep affection was wasted.

"They?" Lu Zhouxue's words piqued the boy's interest. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Azhuo, Kongqing, they are all fine." Lu Zhouxue smiled unconsciously. It was too gentle and affectionate. The young man was slightly distracted. He seemed to understand why Xiao Fengzhuo looked at Lu Zhouxue differently. Even if it was just for a smile from him, it was enough to be willing to go through fire and water for her.

Lu Zhouxue said as he looked at the boy, his expression serious and focused: "You are also very good, even if you don't even want to say your name."

The one he could not let go of the most was Xiao Yueheng, because of that person, he naively and simply believed that everyone was beautiful and worthy of gentle treatment; it was also because of that person's sudden departure that he was left alone in his memories, unable to walk out of his heart, and no longer dared to have the slightest bond with anyone.

None of the gods of Mount Buzhou knew that the eccentric and lonely God of Suimo was actually just a coward who was afraid of separation. He could not bear to let go of everyone who came and went in his life, and he only regretted that he could not treat them better during the years they could get along with each other.

"I'm not good." The young man stared at Lu Zhouxue for a moment, and a corner of his heart was gently touched. After a moment, he turned his head away with a hard mouth and a soft heart, snorted softly, and even smeared Xiao Fengzhuo, "The surname Xiao is not a good thing, don't be fooled by him."

Lu Zhouxue tilted her head and said softly: "Azhuo would never lie to me."

"Aha." The young man laughed and didn't refute him.

"...Lu, Brother Lu..." Peacock, who was leaning obediently on Lu Zhouxue's chest, suddenly hummed, grabbing Lu Zhouxue's collar and pulling it, tearing his originally neat clothes apart, leaving half of his snow-white chest exposed.

Seeing Kong Que's distressed face, Lu Zhouxue felt very distressed. He unconsciously lowered his voice and gently touched the girl's head: "Kong Qing, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"...It hurts..." Kong Que's entire body was aching. She couldn't tell which was which, so she just kept shouting in pain. Lu Zhouxue became even more distressed when she heard this, and she coaxed her incoherently, "It's okay, it won't hurt in a while, it's okay..."

The young man looked at the two people who seemed to be about to cry, and for the first time in his life he felt bad. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said speechlessly: "It's just the pain caused by bone growth. Don't make it seem like a life-and-death separation."

Lu Zhouxue still had a worried look on her face, and her expression was vivid and rich. The boy was completely at his wit's end. He finally said, "Give her to me. I have a way to solve the problem."

Lu Zhouxue handed the Peacock to the boy hesitantly. He pinched a ball of red spiritual energy with his fingertips and sent it into the Peacock's body through the center of her eyebrows. The effect was almost immediate. The Peacock, which had been humming, instantly quieted down.

"My spiritual power can help her suppress the pain in her bones, but in return, her growth will be reduced." The young man said as he handed the quiet peacock back to Lu Zhouxue, "It will be fine when she wakes up. Don't make such a sad face, like a widow. It's not good to look at."

Not long after the young man finished counseling Kong Que, the little girl woke up in Lu Zhouxue's arms, drooling all over his chest. She opened her eyes a little confused: "Brother Lu, where is this? Aren't we in the ghost house? Why are we out?"

"Wipe your saliva, your brother had a fight with the Ghost King and then snatched you away." The young man reached out and wiped the saliva off Peacock's face. He said this sentence in a way that cut off the beginning and the end, omitted the cause and effect relationship in the middle, and directly replaced a concept.

"Listen to his nonsense." Lu Zhouxue said, touched Kong Que's hair, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else?"

Peacock shook his head, then nodded, holding his stomach and looking at Lu Zhouxue aggrievedly, "I'm hungry."

"I was wondering why you were pulling your brother's clothes in your sleep. Turns out you were hungry and looking for milk." The young man's mouth was just as foul as Xiao Fengzhuo's. The latter was afraid of teasing people too much so he would restrain himself, but he said whatever he wanted, without any taboos.

Lu Zhouxue couldn't control his temper and kicked, but he slowed down his pace. Peacock was not seriously injured, so Lu Zhouxue was not in a hurry to return to Zhongting.

Young man: "Lu Zhouxue, do you want to go and see the demon tribe?"

Before Lu Zhouxue could answer, Kong Que in his arms spoke urgently to stop him: "You can't go to the demon tribe, and you can't go back to Zhongting."

"Oh, why?" Lu Zhouxue lowered his head and asked, but in his heart he was thinking, but what happened when he left Zhongting half a month ago due to an old illness that he didn't know about?

"The Queen Pojun set a trap to harm you!" Kong Que concealed the fact that Yaoguang had come to her that day, and only mentioned that Yaoguang wanted to frame Lu Zhouxue, and also mentioned that Baili Changqing was in seclusion and the evil ghosts came to attack. "The Ghost King took the evil ghosts to Zhongting, because the negotiations over something broke down, and in anger he destroyed the Phoenix Terrace."

The young man beside him asked: "Divine bone?"

"Yes, it's the divine bone." Peacock nodded hurriedly, and said to Lu Zhouxue seriously, "Brother Lu, it doesn't matter what they are fighting about, you don't have to go back and wade into this muddy water!"

Lu Zhouxue felt mixed emotions as he listened to Peacock speaking words that were inconsistent with his age. He rubbed Peacock's head and gently said "Okay".

Kong Que is a child who has lost both parents. Even though Lu Zhouxue tried her best to protect her, she was still forced to grow up due to various factors.
