After being kicked out of the wealthy family, her ancestor shocked the world

Xingyue doesn't care about life or death, but she cares about Qin Zhen.

It was also because of him that Xingyue, who had lost the desire to live, tried hard to stay alive.

To this end, he used his demonic power at the risk of his cultivation being reduced and being discovered.

If Chu Peining really wanted to kill her, Xingyue would not be afraid, but would only feel regret.

Unfortunately, his wish for the little fox to live a peaceful life was not met.

I regret that I couldn't be by his side to comfort him from the pain of his mother's death, and to add to the scars he suffered.

"I said, I haven't seen a demon in six hundred years." Chu Peining said indifferently, "So, no."

The calm words were like a depth charge, causing a great shock to Xingyue.

At that time, he was surprised that she knew his true identity, and subconsciously thought that Chu Peining was a Feng Shui master.

But Feng Shui masters are human beings, how could they have such a long lifespan?

Xingyue asked tentatively: "Are you also a demon?"

Why couldn't she detect any demonic aura from her?

Chu Peining shook his head, "I'm not a demon, but I'm not a human either."

Strictly speaking, no.

"Then what are you?" Xingyue asked curiously.

"I am not sure as well."

Chu Peining himself didn't understand it either.

The long lifespan of the demon race is obtained through cultivation, and she has been immortal since birth.

If she is a god, why was she born in the mortal world?

She had also asked the Lord of the Underworld, but he replied: "It is fate, just like the power you control."

It's like saying nothing.

Xingyue stared at her and didn't ask any more questions.

There are many species in this world that she does not understand.

Two hundred years ago, she had seen the stars fall.

When he rushed over, he found a human-shaped woman in the huge pit.

Before she could exclaim in amazement, a brilliant light emanated from the woman, shining in all directions like stars.

In a few breaths, the light dissipated, and the surroundings returned to darkness and silence, like a last glimmer of light.

When I went down to explore, I only found a piece of jewelry that glowed by itself.

At that time, her presence could no longer be sensed nearby.

Xingyue guessed that it might be what was left after the woman's body disappeared.

Chu Peining placed her arms flat on the railing, her slender fingers spotlessly clean, tapping rhythmically, her fingertips lightly pink.

"If I can cure your poison and heal your injuries, but you have to pay a corresponding price, are you willing?"

Xingyue's pupils trembled: "Are you serious?"

She could clearly feel that she would not live long in this body.

The toxins in my body have not decreased in the past two years.

Since his strength has not recovered since he was injured, Xingyue is unable to use his magic power at full capacity.

Even with the support of the demon soul, it will be of no use.

Chu Peining nodded, "As long as you can bring me something in exchange, it will be fine."

She believes in cause and effect in everything she does. She won't owe anyone anything, nor will she let others owe her any favors.

Xingyue lowered her eyes, thinking.

Although she is a demon, she has been in seclusion for hundreds of years and does not have any valuables on her.

After much thought, only that kind of thing might be able to meet Chu Peining's requirements.

Xingyue activated her demonic power and a stream of light burst out from her body.

"I got this by accident, do you think it's okay?"

She wanted to live, not for a long time, as long as she could accompany Qin Zhen for the rest of his life.

She didn't want Qin Zhen to be sad again because of separation.

Chu Peining raised an eyebrow, sensing a familiar scent.

She immediately reached out, took the thing, and looked at it in her palm.

It is a sphere, wrapped in several layers of rings, like an ancient armillary sphere.

The difference is that the sphere is smooth, without any stars, equator, ecliptic, etc., and it emits a dazzling brilliance.

Chu Peining gazed intently, and through the beautiful light, she could faintly see stars twinkling inside.

She gathered spiritual energy in her hands and tried to make it work.

As the ring rotates faster, dazzling light bursts out from the sphere.

The light dissipated, reflecting the entire galaxy in the room, making people feel as if they were there.

Chu Peining was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect to meet her again.

She lowered her eyes, and asked Xingyue anxiously, "Where did you get it?"

Xingyue repeated to her what happened to the meteorite that day.

Chu Peining was very emotional and his breathing was a little rapid.

Falling from the sky, the figure of a woman, the armillary sphere that symbolizes her identity.

Yes.

It's definitely her.

One of the eleven guards of the Lord of the Underworld, Xuan Ji, whose attribute is that of a star.

Long before the war, she had anticipated the outcome and prepared a backup plan for herself.

However, the secret cannot be revealed. The underworld is under the jurisdiction of the gods. Chu Peining cannot interfere and can only let it develop according to the established trajectory.

So he did not warn the Lord of the Underworld.

She was seriously injured and could no longer see anything in the world, and she had no idea about the fate of everyone in the underworld.

But at that time, a trace of her soul remained there.

Until she regained consciousness and gathered it together, she remained in the underworld.

It was through this wisp of residual soul that Chu Peining learned what happened later.

The underworld has changed its owner, the aura of the former Lord of the Underworld can no longer be sensed, and the eleven pillars that symbolize guarding have also become dim.

She once thought that her old friend had died and the guard had disappeared along with him.

Unexpectedly, I found Xuan Ji’s ideology in the human world.

Xingyue looked at her reaction and wondered, "Is this thing very valuable?"

"It's expensive, of course it's expensive!"

With this conscious entity, maybe I can awaken Xuan Ji in the future.

The eleven of them are not only the guards of the Lord of the Underworld, but also gods with different symbols.

Chu Peining also asked why they were all independent gods, but were willing to be the guards of the Lord of the Underworld.

To this, His answer was—

He conquered them by force and made them pledge their lifelong loyalty to Him.

Chu Peining calmed down her somewhat agitated mood.

She took back Xuanji's consciousness and slowly explained to Xingyue.

"I am sure I can cure your poison, but it will take some time to find the herbs. The spiritual energy is so thin nowadays that you cannot just absorb it to heal your injuries. You must use natural materials and treasures."

"I will collect these things one by one. Before that, I will save your life first."

Xingyue nodded to show her acceptance.

Chu Peining put her index finger and middle finger together, spiritual power flowed from her fingertips, and they fell on Xingyue's forehead, drawing a symbol in the air.

She murmured, and finally shouted: "Determined!"

The symbol fell and imprinted on Xingyue's forehead.

Chu Peining waved his hand to hide the mark.

"This should stabilize the toxins in your body and prevent an attack for at least half a year."

She also needs to change the Qin family's fortunes, so she can't spend too much.

Fortunately, Qin Zhen took it seriously and did not let the poison invade his entire body.

Otherwise it wouldn't have been suppressed for so long.

In half a year, not to mention the rare treasures, there would at least be enough medicinal herbs for detoxification.

"Thank you." Xing Yue thanked sincerely.

Chu Peining waved his hand.

She originally wanted to use Xingyue's five hundred years of cultivation as an exchange, but she didn't expect that she actually had Xuanji's consciousness.

Now, it was Chu Peining who owed her.
