Mu Qingxi lowered her head and saw the man's slender fingers holding a palm-sized black wooden box.

"Should I open it and take a look?"

Mu Qingxi took the box curiously, opened it and saw a black bead as big as a pearl inside, tied with a black rope.

She took out the bead, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

"so beautiful!"

The black bead seemed to contain the starry sky of the universe, as if the sky was full of stars flowing, and it seemed to possess enormous energy.

"This is the Chaos Stone. My power is sealed inside. When your life is in danger, it can automatically attack the enemy and protect you."

"Thank you, Ye Xuanmo, I like it very much!"

After saying that, she happily hung the beads around her neck, looking very happy.

The girl's eyes were bright, as beautiful as the starry sky in the Chaos Stone. She was also wearing a red cloak given by Chiyang. Against the backdrop of the red plum blossoms, she looked both naive and bright.

Ye Xuanmo looked at this scene, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something.

Ye Xuanmo walked slowly among the plum blossoms, and casually said to the little girl beside him,

"I used to have a sister."

"Hmm? Sister?" Mu Qingxi tilted her head, somewhat wondering why Ye Xuanmo suddenly said this to her.

But her hands did not stop moving. She was holding a jade bottle and using her spiritual power to collect snow water from the plum blossoms.

"Well, Chiyang said that I had a woman by my side before, and she was my sister."

"Oh."

Mu Qingxi then realized that Ye Xuanmo was explaining this matter to her, and sure enough, everything he said at that time was heard.

Why should I explain it to her?

I see! The deduction book is in her hand!

A man must be strong in his life, and he would not want to be deducted a point! What's more, it's the Demon Lord?

Mu Qingxi looked like she understood everything, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you cross out that point!"

Ye Xuanmo guessed that Mu Qingxi seemed to have misunderstood, but it didn’t matter, it would be better if no points were deducted.

For some reason, he just wanted to explain to her, and he felt happy to see her smile.

Before we knew it, we were in the mood for conversation.

"I am an orphan. My grandmother picked me up when I was young and raised me."

Mu Qingxi became very interested when she heard Ye Xuanmo talking about his past. She even stopped drinking snow water and followed Ye Xuanmo wholeheartedly.

Ye Xuanmo took the jade bottle from Mu Qingxi's arms, collected snow water, and continued talking, as if he was chatting with Mu Qingxi.

"When my grandmother found me, she was already dying. She raised me until I was five years old, and then she fell ill and died."

"What kind of person is my mother-in-law?" Mu Qingxi asked.

Ye Xuanmo smiled, a smile that Mu Qingxi had never seen before.

"She is a very optimistic person. If she finds a magic bead, she will be happy for several days. Even if she is doing the most tiring and dirty work, she is still cheerful."

Ye Xuanmo looked at the plum blossoms, and a hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

"The happiest thing at that time was to sit by the fire and eat half of a meat pie each. She was very ill. In fact, she only needed a few first-grade pills to extend her life, but unfortunately, she didn't have them."

"After my mother-in-law passed away, I lived alone for a year. Later, I was captured and sold to the Demon Palace. I became the adopted son of the Demon Lord."

"They say they are adopted sons, but in fact there are more than a hundred children there who are the adopted sons and daughters of the Demon Lord."

Mu Qingxi noticed that when Ye Xuanmo said this, the warmth in his eyes turned extremely cold.

"It is an underground palace. After ten years, only one child can come out alive from the underground palace. This child can be planted with a demon seed and become the next Demon Lord."

"The demon seed is actually a carrier of the Demon Lord's soul. He just wants to take over his body."

"Ten years later, Xuan Jin and I were the only ones left alive in the underground palace, so she became my sister. The Demon Lord liked me more, so he asked me to kill Xuan Jin."

"I let Xuan Jin fake his death. When the Demon Lord took over my body, Xuan Jin destroyed the demon species and killed the Demon Lord. Thus, I became the Demon Lord in name and in reality."

Mu Qingxi felt a little nervous. Although Ye Xuanmo described those ten years in a light-hearted manner, in reality those days must have been bloody and cruel, and must have been very difficult.

If it weren't for that optimistic mother-in-law who taught Ye Xuanmo over those years, Ye Xuanmo might have become a cold and cruel demon lord now.

"I heard that your injury is related to this Xuan Jin?" Mu Qingxi asked. This was what she heard from Chi Yang in her previous life. The reason why they were injured and hiding in this small world was all related to a man named Xuan Jin.

But at that time, Mu Qingxi didn't know who Xuan Jin was, and didn't know whether he was a man or a woman.

Ye Xuanmo looked down at Mu Qingxi. He didn’t expect that she actually knew this.

"I heard Chi Yang talk about it in my previous life, but I don't know the details. Whenever Chi Yang mentioned this person, he always looked like he had a hard time describing it, as if he had complicated emotions towards this person."

Ye Xuanmo smiled, "Xuan Jin, the Immortal Lord, and the Demon King teamed up to injure me. My fire poison was also caused by Xuan Jin."

Mu Qingxi was shocked. It turned out that he was backstabbed by someone close to him! No wonder Ye Xuanmo, such a powerful man, was so seriously injured that he had to hide in the small world.

The Immortal Lord and the Demon King? They sound like the overlords of the Immortal World!

Mu Qingxi didn’t know how to comfort Ye Xuanmo.

The person he regarded as his sister joined forces with outsiders to betray him.

"Why did she do that? For the position of Demon Lord?"

Ye Xuanmo shook his head, he didn’t know either.

"I wanted to give her the position of Demon Lord, but she refused."

Mu Qingxi touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"If it's not for power, then is it for profit? What benefits did they promise her?"

"I'll give her whatever she wants."

"Oh, it's not power, nor is it interest, then what is it? Oh, right, it can't be that they want you, right?" Mu Qingxi widened his eyes, very surprised at his own guess.

"She wants to eat you! Your body might be good for her cultivation!" Mu Qingxi said confidently, "It must be like this!"

Just like Tang Monk’s meat!

There was also some confusion on Ye Xuanmo's face. He always felt that this was not the case.

But after all these years, he still couldn't understand why Xuan Jin betrayed him.

But he doesn't care. In fact, he is essentially like that optimistic mother-in-law, who takes things as they come.

Since she is no longer a relative, there is no need to worry about her.

Ye Xuanmo turned his head and looked at the little girl whose face had a look of "I'm so smart" written all over it, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Meeting is also fate.
