Forced to raise cubs with rivals

For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere became extremely weird.

Everyone's eyes were focused here, wishing that Xie Qiao and Shen Guxue would fight right here, so that they could watch the excitement.

Xie Qiao and Shen Guxue looked at each other for a while, their cheeks puffed up and down, and they finally swallowed those two round hawthorn balls.

I don't know if he ate too much all of a sudden, the feeling of his stomach turning upside down came up again, which made his face turn pale and his breath fluctuate.

Seeing this, Shen Guxue frowned unconsciously.

The last time the two of them met, he noticed something was wrong - Xie Qiao's spiritual energy was constantly fluctuating, sometimes weak and sometimes full of vitality.

Shen Guxue didn't mention it at the time, because to Xie Qiao, this should be just a small problem and it would be resolved soon.

But I didn't expect that in the past few days, when I saw Xie Qiao again, it was still the same, and it even became more serious.

Shen Guxue hesitated to speak: "You..."

He wanted to remind Xie Qiao, but he felt that it was inappropriate to mention this matter in his capacity, so he stopped talking.

Naturally, Xie Qiao didn't know what was going on in Shen Guxue's heart, but felt that Shen Guxue's state was a little strange, which made people quite uncomfortable.

He covered the corner of his lips and coughed lightly, and when he calmed down a little, he raised his eyes and looked over.

——Didn’t you just pass by?Why are you still standing here?

Xie Qiao's eyes were filled with disgust.

Don't know so many people are still watching them?

Came here in such a daze, because I was afraid that others would not be able to guess that there was something tricky between them?

Shen Guxue was startled for a moment, then looked around.

His brows and eyes were stern, and his face was covered with snow. Wherever his eyes went, everyone avoided him, not daring to look more.

His eyes turned back and fell on Xie Qiao again.

Xie Qiao still wore a red dress, but it was a little different from usual.

Shen Guxue couldn't tell what was different, but she just felt that Xie Qiao looked extraordinarily good-looking today.

The young man has red lips and white teeth, and peach blossoms on his cheeks.

In a trance, it was like a picture reappearing in a dream.

Shen Guxue's Adam's apple rolled slightly, she didn't understand what was wrong with her, why she had such a weird thought.

Besides... In the past, he never thought Xie Qiao was good-looking.

Since leaving the secret realm, it seems that something has changed inexplicably.

Shen Guxue pondered deeply.

……

This picture fell into the eyes of the onlookers, causing speculation among the crowd.

Passerby A wondered: "Why do the Immortal Lord and Demon Lord look weird?"

Passer-by B: "What's wrong? You don't think they are silent and look calm, but in fact they must be undercurrents, fighting in secret."

Passerby C was very sharp-eyed, and upon hearing this, he immediately said: "Look——the Demon Lord's face is pale, he must have been defeated in a private contest, and lost to the Immortal Monarch."

Xie Qiao listened to the conversations around him, and cursed secretly in his heart - fart!How could he lose to Shen Guxue?

Pale?That was because he was not feeling well, and it had nothing to do with Shen Guxue!

Xie Qiao was so angry that his teeth itch, he couldn't care less about so many people, so he put all these accounts on Shen Guxue's head.

He ground his teeth: What exactly does Shen Guxue want to do?Could he be standing here on purpose?

As time passed, there were more people nearby, the voices were noisy, and there were all kinds of strange smells mixed together, which made people feel chest tightness.

Xie Qiao doesn't want to stay here anymore, but Shen Guxue is standing in front of him now, if he leaves first, in the eyes of others, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting defeat in the contest?

Thinking of this, Xie Qiao had no choice but to suppress the discomfort and pretended to be nonchalant.

This kind of minor changes cannot be noticed by others, but they cannot escape Shen Guxue's eyes. He subconsciously walked forward, wanting to investigate the situation.

Seeing his movements, Xie Qiao immediately reacted.

His eyes widened, his voice turned into a thin line, and the sound transmission went over and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Qiao's voice was clear and crisp, with a slight uptick in the end, as if there was a small hook. He lightly scratched Shen Guxue's ear, which brought a burst of itching.

Shen Guxue was stunned for a moment, and also passed the voice transmission: "I see that you are not feeling well, is there something wrong with your cultivation?"

Xie Qiao didn't expect Shen Guxue's eyes to be so fierce, and he could see it just by seeing him, but he didn't want outsiders to know his weakness, so he said coldly: "I don't need to worry about my affairs." Paused, pointedly, "It seems that our relationship has not reached this point?"

Shen Guxue's palm stayed in mid-air for a moment, and finally retracted it, quietly hanging by his side.

relationship, what is their relationship?

Everyone knows that the Demon Lord Xie Qiao and the Guxue Immortal Lord are at odds.

This is not only the contradiction between the righteous way and the evil way, but also the personal grievances between them.

With such a relationship here, how could he have strange thoughts?

Shen Guxue's eyes gradually sank.

Xie Qiao felt a little chill, pursed the corners of his lips, and raised his eyelids to look.

Now that the two of them were very close, a faint fragrance of frost and snow lingered on the tip of his nose, making him feel that something was wrong all over his body, and his lower abdomen started to throb.

He frowned, and stretched out his hand to press down on his lower abdomen.

The last time we met, it was the same.

It seemed that there was an invisible force that urged him to approach Shen Guxue, not only that, but he also developed a desire for Shen Guxue's aura.

Like a fish thirsting for water.

Xie Qiao originally thought it was just a temporary illusion, and this situation never happened again, so he didn't take it to heart.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got close to Shen Guxue, she would feel this strange and strange feeling again.

Can't stay with Shen Guxue anymore!

Xie Qiao made a decisive decision, and regardless of the matter of winning or losing, he directly opened the distance between the two.

Turning around, he quickly walked into the crowd.

Seeing Xie Qiao approaching, the onlookers stopped talking. They had a tacit understanding and retreated one by one. In less than a while, they gave way to an empty road.

Xie Qiao didn't care about other people's gazes, walked straight over, and found Hu Jiuniang at the end of the path.

Hu Jiuniang was greeting the sect disciples who were friends with her in peacetime, when she caught a glimpse of Xie Qiao coming from the corner of her eye, she quickly stopped talking and greeted her.

"Your Majesty..." Hu Jiuniang was keenly aware of Xie Qiao's strangeness, and was about to reach out to help him.

Xie Qiao was so strong in his heart that he didn't want to show weakness in front of everyone, so he directly rejected Hu Jiuniang's kindness.

Seeing this, Hu Jiuniang had no choice but to stand behind Xie Qiao with her hands tied, lowered her voice, and asked with concern, "Is your majesty okay?"

Xie Qiao felt a little uncomfortable, but it didn't really affect her. It's been fine for a while.He touched his lower abdomen subconsciously, skipped the topic, and brought up other things: "When will the Wanzong Grand Meeting start?"

Hu Jiuniang replied, "After half an hour."

The Wanzong Grand Meeting is held every hundred years. I don't know how many sessions it has lasted. The process of each round is fixed and there is not much change.

The first round is the secret trial.

There is no need to go into details about the rules. Anyway, most of the trial content is similar, nothing more than entering the secret realm and completing the corresponding tasks within a certain period of time. The winner will enter the next round, and the loser will be eliminated.

Xie Qiao lacked interest, if he hadn't been able to compete with Shen Guxue at the Wanzong Grand Meeting, he would not have bothered to attend.

He was bored, waiting for the start of the Wanzong Grand Meeting.

While waiting, Xie Qiao couldn't stop feeling sleepy again, and stood in a corner with his arms around his shoulders, drowsy.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt a peeping gaze on him.

Xie Qiao's eyelashes fluttered, and the sleepiness was gone.It seemed that he still looked lazy, but in the blink of an eye, he swept across the nearby crowd calmly.

That look with bad intentions must be the person who came.

It's just that there were crowds of people nearby, and their figures overlapped, and it was hard to tell where the gaze was coming from for a moment.

Xie Qiao looked around and looked away.

Although I don't know who it is, I can be sure that it is aimed at him.

Xie Qiao sneered, and a smug look appeared between his brows and eyes.

In this world, there are many people who want his life, but so far no one has been able to succeed, but a ray of dead souls has been added to the folded mirror knife.

It's been a long time since he took the position of Demon Lord, and no one dared to provoke Xie Qiao. Not only was he not afraid, but he even had some expectations.

interesting.

……

Half an hour flies by.

When the last gravel in the hourglass fell, there was a melodious bell sound in the air out of thin air.

clang--

Accompanied by the ringing of the bell, the spiritual light of the altar in front flickered, and one after another the spiritual stones lit up, forming a complicated and mysterious formation.

Then, an old and deep voice sounded: "Tianmen, open—"

Boom!

Thunder fell from the sky during the day, and it struck the altar directly.Thunder light flickered around the altar, and it kept trembling, during which a ray of bright white light appeared, covering everyone's sight.

Seeing this majestic scene, everyone below was amazed.

But within a breath, the white light turned from prosperity to decline, and finally there was only a palm-sized light ball left.The ball of light rotates slowly, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, and gradually becomes a passage for one person to pass through, connecting another piece of heaven and earth.

The old man spoke again: "Xuan Jing, descend—"

This time the movement was a little quieter, a simple and smooth mirror hung above the secret realm, and the mirror surface shone with light.

It was strange to say that there were people standing around the altar, but no matter who they were, they could see the front of the mirror and themselves in the mirror.

Xie Qiao looked at himself in the mirror, only to see a flash of white light, then his hand sank, and something extra appeared.

He raised his hand and found that it was a reduced version of the mirror. The mirror could not reflect the image of a person, but a line of small characters appeared instead.

——Enter the secret realm and look for the dragon scales of Baishan Mountain.

This is the task Xie Qiao wants to complete.

When seeing this line of words, Xie Qiao's expression moved slightly, obviously thinking of the missions he did with Shen Guxue in the Shiwan Dashan.

Originally, he was thinking that after leaving the secret realm, he would forget about this past completely and never mention it again.

But he didn't expect that things didn't go his way, and now that so long has passed, those images still haunt him from time to time.

Xie Qiao lowered his eyes, and put the Xuan Jing in his arms with his backhand. He didn't think about other things, and walked directly into the secret realm.

……

A whirlwind.

When Xie Qiao opened his eyes again, he was already in another world.

This is a secret place that has been banned for a long time. No one has set foot there all year round. At a glance, there are eucalyptus trees and viburnum flowers all over the ground, and birds and beasts pass by in groups. The scenery is pleasant, fresh and elegant.

But Xie Qiao is not in the mood to look at these now.

I don't know if the aura here is too strong, and he felt uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hand to hold the branch beside him, bent down and retched uncontrollably.

These days, Xie Qiao's illness has been repeated, and he already knew how to deal with it. After retching for a while, he directly took out a sour ebony and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sour taste permeated between the lips and teeth as the ebony plum entered the mouth, suppressing the feeling of nausea all at once.

At some point, Xie Qiao became so delicate, and just as the physical discomfort subsided, he became hungry again.

Xie Qiao sipped the sour plum and frowned.

This is not the way to go.

It's better outside, but in the secret realm, the situation is changing rapidly. If others notice it, wouldn't it be a flaw?

I can't get used to myself anymore.

If you are hungry, you will be hungry, and if you bear it, you will get used to it.

Xie Qiao pressed the lower abdomen, gritted his teeth, and held back the strangeness.

He got used to it for a while, and slowly straightened his waist. Just after a while, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

Xie Qiao thought it was Hu Jiuniang and others coming, but when he turned his head, he saw two strangers.

These two people should be walking together, one of them was wearing a dark yellow gown, a jade crown on his head, holding a pointer disc, this outfit looked familiar.

Xie Qiao glanced lightly, and before he could make a move, a person walked out of the team and cupped his hands at him: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how is the Demon Lord?"

Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows: "Are you...?"

The man's face froze, and he reported to the mountain gate: "The devil is really a nobleman who forgets a lot, and he is going to Jiang Yun in Tianji Pavilion."

The one I met last time in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was also a disciple of Tianji Pavilion.

Only then did Xie Qiao have some impressions: "I remember you."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun's face improved slightly.

Xie Qiao gave another "tsk" and said lazily, "It's that idiot who doesn't have eyes and barks to block people's way." He also deliberately asked, "I remember right?"

What he said was like pointing at someone's nose and cursing him.

No matter how good Jiang Yun's self-cultivation is, he couldn't help it anymore, he said with a livid face, "Mozun, you—"

Xie Qiao raised his right hand slightly, and with a slight movement of his slender fingers, the light of the knife flowed on his fingertips, and a chill burst out.He said casually, "What's wrong with me?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the people with Jiang Yun came out to smooth things over: "Okay, maybe there is some misunderstanding, don't make a mess..."

Jiang Yun endured and endured, and finally swallowed this breath.

Seeing the opportunity, the companions smiled and said, "Since we met together, we are destined to meet each other. I don't know what task the Demon Venerable has been assigned to?"

Xie Qiao didn't hide it, and said directly: "None of your business."

Xie Qiao's temper was already bad, and he was unwell, so he didn't want to flirt with this group of people.

Besides, with his status, no one in the world is qualified to make him polite.

The companions also became stiff: "..."

Xie Qiao was impatient to continue entangled with these two people, and was about to leave.

Jiang Yun's expression changed, but he finally made up his mind and chased after him: "Please stop, Mozun!"

Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows: "Why, I'm sorry?"

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, and squeezed out a smiling face: "This secret realm has been sealed for a long time, and the situation is unknown. It is difficult to complete the mission sent by the mysterious mirror..."

Xie Qiao stopped in his tracks, wanting to see what this man was going to do.

Jiang Yun talked for a while, and finally expressed his intention: "It just so happens that this secret realm was owned by Tianji Pavilion a hundred years ago. I have a map of the secret realm in my hand. It's not as good as the demon king walking with us, and it's cheaper..."

Jiang Yun thought that it would take a lot of words to convince Xie Qiao, but he didn't expect to hear Xie Qiao lightly say, "Okay."

Jiang Yun didn't realize it all at once: "...ah?"

Xie Qiao said lazily, "I said - okay."

Jiang Yun's attitude is really abnormal, anyone can see that he has bad intentions.

Even if she got rid of him once, she would probably follow up secretly.That being the case, it's better to agree and see what he wants to do.

Besides... he also really wants the map of the secret realm.

Xie Qiao swept across the air vaguely.

Everything that happens in the secret realm is watched by Xuan Tianjing, some things are not easy to do, but if the other party strikes first, no matter what he does, he will just be forced to defend himself.

Xie Qiao smiled slightly, the corners of her lips seemed to be sweetened with honey.

If someone he knew was here, he would know that when Xie Qiao showed such a smile, someone would be in trouble.

……

Jiang Yun did have other plans.

The last time they left the Hundred Thousand Mountains, they did not find the whereabouts of Tianying, and because the secret of Tianying was destroyed, they had no choice but to return in despair.

When he returned to Tianji Pavilion, Jiang Yun thought over what happened that day, but still felt that something was wrong.

What Tianji Pavilion cultivates is the art of peeping at the secrets of the sky, and all "hunches" that flash of inspiration may become reality.

Why did Xie Qiao appear there by such a coincidence?

Why does the Tianji compass point to Xie Qiao?

It is impossible for the Tianji Compass to go wrong, so the problematic one is Xie Qiao!

Even though Immortal Guxue had testified at the time, he still had doubts about Xie Qiao, and felt that the clue about Tianying lay in Xie Qiao, but he suffered from lack of evidence.

Jiang Yun told the owner of the Tianji Pavilion about the guess in his heart, and the owner of the Tianji Pavilion didn't blame anything, but just gave him a porcelain bottle.

A colorless and odorless pill was contained in the porcelain bottle.

This pill has no effect on ordinary people, but if a person who is pregnant with Tianying takes it, his cultivation base will drop drastically and his stomach will hurt endlessly.

At that time, you can take this opportunity to get rid of Tianying.

Jiang Yun rubbed the medicine bottle in his arms calmly, looked at Xie Qiao, his eyes flickered, and he had malicious intentions at first glance.
