Twenty years ago——

In a quiet little town in the afternoon, everything was as usual.

"Hey, you little bastard, are you stealing food again?" The kitchen lady's spoon almost hit the skinny child.

The child rolled over twice with the snack in his hand, escaped from the palm of the aunt's hand, and made a face at her: "Auntie Liang, if you don't want to hit me, then don't hit me."

"Hey, you little bastard, you really think I let you go? It was just that my hand slipped and I didn't hit you." Aunt Liang was still cursing, but the child had already run away without a trace.

"Xiao Nian." The child came to the lake with snacks in his hands. There was a girl of the same age sitting by the lake. The girl had two cute double-ringed hair buns. She turned her head to look at him and waved to him, "Fugui, here."

The little boy called Fugui offered her the pastry in his hand as if he were offering a treasure: "This is new pastry from Aunt Liang's family. It's delicious."

"Auntie, did I hit you? Let me see if you are hurt." Compared to the snacks, Xiaonian was more concerned about whether his friends were hurt.

Fugui shook his head: "Do you really think Aunt Liang would hit me? She was just pretending. She still likes us, otherwise why would she put the cakes directly on the windowsill and wait for me to steal them?"

The two children sat by the lake, happily eating cakes and talking about their future life.

"Xiao Nian, I'm going to school. What about you? What are you going to do?"

"But I can't afford to go to school." Xiaonian put down the cake in his hand: "My mother is already very tired from doing laundry for others. Sometimes we can't even afford to eat. I don't have money to go to school."

"Silly girl!" He knocked on Xiaonian's head: "My father is a gangster, do you think my family has money to send him to school?"

"What should I do?"

"Let's go and study." Fugui stood up and said, "I've asked around. There's a dog hole at the back door of the school. We can just crawl in and lie down by the window. Master Xu is a very nice person. As long as we don't disturb him, he will definitely find us to attend the class over there. When I pass the imperial examination, I will come and marry you, okay?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to marry you? I want to take the imperial examination myself." The girl turned her head away: "Although I can't be a civil official or a military officer like you, I can still be a female official in the palace."

"Then our Xiaonian must be the smartest female official, the kind that can even serve in the imperial court."

"Then our Fugui must be the smartest top scholar who can become the prime minister."

After eating snacks, the two children went back happily playing and greeting others along the way.

"What kind of education do you want to have? A cook's child wants to study. I don't have the money to send you to school." Fugui's father burned firewood while rubbing his dark face: "Do you really think you are a rich man's daughter?"

"I don't need to spend money to study. I have already agreed with Master Xu. I just need to go and take a look."

Fugui's father turned his head and looked at him, then took out a bag of copper coins from his clothes and threw them at him: "If you don't pass the exam, I will beat you to death."

Looking at his bulging purse, Fugui smiled happily and repeatedly assured himself that he would make a name for himself.

"Do you want to go with the little girl from the Nian family?"

"correct."

"The money in there should be enough for you two to study. Remember to marry her when you grow up."

"Ouch." Fugui came to his father's side and poked his muscles with his little hand: "Dad, you just fell in love with Xiaonian's mother, is there any need to say it so euphemistically?"

"Shut up, you!"

"Xiao Nian has no father, and I have no mother. We are a perfect match. Why don't you let your father marry Xiao Nian's mother? That way we can have double happiness."

Fugui's father glanced at him and wiped his sweat: "If I really marry Xiaonian's mother, you won't be able to marry Xiaonian!"

After saying that, he kicked him out the door. Fugui dusted off the dust on his body, took the purse and went to Xiaonian's residence. The two children met halfway by coincidence.

"Fugui, look, this is what my mother gave me. He said he went to school with the two of us."

The two children looked at the bulging wallets in each other's hands and smiled happily.

The morning sunshine is always fascinating, but after a while, the raindrops slowly fall down, and it looks like a downpour is inevitable.

Today is the first day of school. Fugui got up early and tidied himself up.

I don't know if Aunt Liang knew that they had to go to school today, so she specially placed the snacks on the windowsill, and there was no one inside. Fugui took the snacks and shouted to the windowsill: "Thank you!"

Then, a roar came from the kitchen deeper inside: "You little bastard, I'm doing this so that you can introduce some people to me when you become successful in the future."

The two children smiled at each other, picked up the snack, took a bite, and ran while eating.

They were about to reach the school, where they could hear the sound of reading aloud. Raindrops gently hit the children's noses. They stopped, looked up at the sky, stretched out their hands, and caught a small raindrop.

Then a huge strange foot crushed the school to pieces, and a roar came from inside.

The school was located in a remote area, even in a corner of the city. People around it held their breath when they saw the strange foot, and shouted loudly after one second, two seconds, and three seconds.

Fugui and Xiaonian were stunned where they were. They looked up and saw the original form of the big foot, which was a creature with a human body and a monkey face. The two children had never seen this monster before, so they were stunned where they were.

Suddenly two people were picked up and ran away.

"Whose child is this? A monster is here, yet he's still standing here." When Fugui came to his senses, he and Xiaonian had been taken away.

Then, many people who came on flying swords surrounded the monster. The people who were holding them stopped and put them down. The people around stopped and watched from a distance, this group of gods and men fighting the monster.

"Are we saved?" Fugui looked at Xiaonian next to him and took her hand. "I've read in the storybook that these people are cultivators. They will drive away the monsters."

"But we don't have a school anymore." Xiaonian clenched the purse in his hand, "We don't have Master Xu anymore, and we don't have a partner to study with."

Big tears dripped down his face. Fugui comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Maybe they are not in there. It is only the house that was trampled down. It must be only the house. The immortal cultivators will save us. They will definitely save us. Didn't the storybook say that justice will triumph over evil?"

In the end, things did not turn out as the two children wished. The cultivator lost completely, and even his body was eaten by the monster.

Everyone began to panic again.

"Let's go find Daddy and Aunt Nian first. As long as our family is together, there is nothing to be afraid of." Fugui held Xiaonian's hand and kept running forward. But what he didn't expect was that when he ran back home, he saw his father and Xiaonian's mother dead together. They were lying on the ground, holding hands, and his father's right leg was nowhere to be found.

"Ahem." Xiaonian's mother seemed to still have a breath left. She looked up at the two children not far from her and tried hard to smile.

The monster behind him, which had transformed into a human form, seemed to have discovered the two children. He walked towards them with a huge knife. Xiaonian's mother pulled his leg to stop him from moving forward, but he chopped off her arm with the knife.

Then several demon children emerged from behind the monster, happily climbed onto the two men's bodies and ate their corpses, still arguing over whether they wanted the dead or the living.

"Mom, Dad." Fugui and Xiaonian cried and shouted at that moment. The monster had already come to their side, swinging a big knife at them.

In a trance, they were pushed away. There was a sound of knife shadows, and Aunt Liang's kitchen knife was directly chopped off. The broken blade scratched Xiaonian's shoulder, leaving a long mark.

"Run!"

What followed was a scene where Aunt Liang was cruelly killed by the monster, and the demon child came over to eat her corpse. The two children were so frightened that they became numb, and their legs could only desperately run forward.

Although I was running, it seemed as if I would never reach the end.

The two finally ran out of the city, but at this moment, a bloody hand grabbed Xiaonian's neck and lifted her up.

"Xiao Nian!" Fugui stopped and picked up a stone next to him to hit the monster's feet, but the monster seemed unconscious and was about to throw Xiao Nian into its mouth.

"do not want!"

Following a heart-wrenching roar, a light blue light appeared, and Xiaonian fell to the ground along with the monster's corpse.

"Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian." Fugui used his hands and feet to crawl towards Xiao Nian's body. Fortunately, Xiao Nian was fine. He held his hand and smiled at him: "I just saw a ray of light. It was a fairy sister who saved me."

Then countless rays of light rushed into the town.

Then a monster's roar was heard from inside. Fugui covered Xiaonian's ears, but in just half a day the monster was completely wiped out by the people who came to support.

"Hey, there are two children here?"

The two looked up and saw a sister in goose yellow clothes coming towards them, carrying a large medicine box on her back.

My sister smiled at them calmly and asked them kindly if they were hurt.

"Excuse me, were you the one who saved Xiaonian?" Fugui's voice trembled a little.

She shook her head, pointed at the woman in blue clothes next to her and said, "It's not me, it's her."

The woman turned around, and Xiaonian recognized her face immediately. He pulled Fugui and knelt down in front of her: "Master, please take us in and accept us as your disciples."

"Why should I accept you as my apprentice?"

"Because our home has been destroyed." Fugui shouted, "I will never let go of any of the murderers who killed my relatives and destroyed my home, the demons!"

The woman seemed stunned by the determined looks of the two children. She waved her slender fingers and a faint mark immediately appeared between the brows of the two children.

"The peak master can only accept a few disciples. Are you sure you want to give the opportunity to these two mediocre children?" asked the man in white next to the woman in blue.

The two children were afraid that he would refuse, so they kowtowed and said, "Even if we don't have any special talents and are just ordinary people, we will definitely practice hard. Please accept us as your disciples."

"You have to think about it carefully."

"I've thought about it." The woman walked up to them and gently helped them up: "From now on, you will abandon your old names and change your names to Zhufan and Zhuling."

The heavy rain that had accumulated in the sky for a long time finally fell down.

-

"Yes, that's right, the Demon Lord is Mo Luofan." Zhu Fan collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his strength in an instant.

Zhu Ling turned her head away and a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.

"Then how did you know that?" Mu Qingxue asked. A bolt of lightning struck down, leaving the figures of three people.

"A few months ago, I was led into the demon tribe by a cloud of inexplicable black smoke. I saw the Demon Lord who was fighting. He admitted it to me personally."

"Black smoke?" When Hua Ruoruo was about to continue asking, a familiar voice came from behind the three of them.

"Master?" Everyone looked at the two people coming behind them in disbelief - Shang Jun and Mu Qingfeng.

"Greetings, Master." Everyone bowed and saluted the person in front of them as if it was a conditioned reflex.

Shang Jun just nodded slightly to them, pushed open the door with his heavy hands, and looked at his only relative lying on the bed.

"Xiao Lan..."

Mu Qingfeng helped him stumble to the bedside. Shang Jun lowered his head with tears in his eyes, and slammed his fist heavily on the bed: "It's my brother who is useless. It's my brother who can't protect you. It was the same before and it's the same now."

"Master, this is not your fault."

"This is my fault. I was unable to protect her. I was unable to protect my sister, my only relative."

He clenched his fists and slammed them heavily on the ground: "Mo Chu hurt my sister, took over my Qingyuan Sect, and killed my disciples. This hatred is irreconcilable!"

"This hatred is irreconcilable." Outside the door, Zhu Fan raised his left hand, his voice trembling slightly: "I once swore to my master that I would drive out all those who killed my relatives and destroyed my home. Now the demons have made a comeback and hurt my master and my fellow disciples. I swear I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge."

Mu Qingxue also raised her left hand and said in a firm voice: "Maintaining the stability of the world is the oath every disciple swore when entering the world of cultivation."

Girl Lan, please wait for me a moment, I will change the ending, I will rescue you, and we will all live well.

Outside the Nightmare Tribe——

"Hey, hey, hey, we've said it all. Without the elders' order, we really can't let you in." The gatekeeper stopped people outside the door with a long branch, looking helpless.

"I am General Feng from the Demon Realm. I really have something to discuss with the Demon Lord. Please inform me."

"My dear brother, we have gone in to report five times. It is your Demon Lord who does not want to see you, not us who are stopping you from entering."

"Then did you tell him that I came here this time because of the matter of the Demon Lord's wife?"

"I've already said that the Demon Lord said that he doesn't have a wife now." The two gatekeepers drove everyone out forcefully: "So anyone who comes here in the name of seeking the Demon Lord's wife, please go back."

Seeing that Wen was not doing his job, General Feng no longer cared about etiquette and morality, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master Demon, Master Demon, please go back and see your wife, Master Demon."

"Is this guy a fool?" The left gatekeeper dug his ear and said, "Doesn't he know that this barrier has a soundproofing effect?"

"Speak softly, don't let him hear. It's better for him to yell outside than to force us to go in and report."
