Forced to raise cubs with rivals

Returning to West Demon State by flying boat was temporarily unworkable. Xie Qiao took a cub with him, so he simply found an inn to live in first.

Bone suggested: "My lord, why don't I go out to find out the news?"

Xie Qiao closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "Alright, go out and have a look."

After the bone got the order, the will-o'-the-wisp glowed in his eyes, and then he fell apart with a "crash", turned into countless bones, and disappeared into the darkness.

Zai Zai heard this movement, opened his eyes, and looked around blankly.He didn't understand why there were two people missing when he woke up.

He pulled Xie Qiao, wanting to find Shen Guxue.

Xie Qiao squeezed Zai Zai's hand and said casually: "Don't make trouble."

Zai Zai pursed his mouth and let out an "ah ah" sound.Said that he was not making trouble, but just wanted to find another father.

Xie Qiao understood, and pinched Zai Zai's chubby cheek: "Why, I'm not enough?"

Zai Zai burst into tears.

Xie Qiao scolded with a smile: "Little heartless, have you forgotten who gave birth to you? Now you only remember Shen Guxue, don't you remember me?"

Zai Zai felt a pain in his cheek and burst into tears.

Xie Qiao originally wanted to tease the cub, but he didn't expect the cub to be so impatient, so he started crying.He hurriedly imitated Shen Guxue's appearance and patted the cub on the back: "Okay, okay, don't cry, I won't tease you anymore..."

Zai Zai couldn't stop crying, his little face was flushed from crying, and he couldn't breathe, it made people anxious and distressed.

Now Xie Qiao realized the benefits of Shen Guxue's presence, if Shen Guxue was there, if it made Zai Zai cry, just put it in his arms and it would be over.

Now that Shen Guxue is not here, and the bones have gone out again, Xie Qiao is the only one facing Zai Zai, suddenly at a loss what to do.

Fortunately, Shen Guxue taught him how to coax Zai Zai before, he was so coaxed, and finally stopped crying.

Zai Zai was tired from crying, with tears still on his bushy eyelashes, he fell into a deep sleep.

It was quiet here, but Xie Qiao was exhausted, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was more tired than a big battle.

Looking at Zai Zai's sleeping face, he let out a sigh of relief, thinking, it's really troublesome to raise this kid.

Xie Qiao has never been in contact with a child before, even if he has a cub now, he still has dark eyes on how to take care of the cub.

He sat in front of the window, looking at the dark night outside the window, he couldn't help thinking: It would be great if Shen Guxue was here.

I don't know where Shen Guxue is right now.

Xie Qiao originally thought that he disliked Shen Guxue very much, and wished he could completely break away from Shen Guxue.

But now that Shen Guxue is really gone, in just half a day, he actually thought about Shen Guxue twice.

Xie Qiao's eyelashes trembled slightly, showing a sense of confusion.

Does he really have other thoughts about Shen Guxue?

……

Before Xie Qiao could figure out what was going on in his heart, Bai Gu came back first.

Countless bones rolled out from the shadows, and the bones soared into the air, forming a petite human figure together.

"Your Highness—"

Xie Qiao came back to his senses, put away his strange expression, and asked, "How's it going?"

Bone said: "I went around the city and got some news..."

Xie Qiao: "Say."

Bone: "The airship to West Demon State stopped seven days ago."

Xie Qiao's eyebrows twitched.

Seven days ago.

Counting the days, he had just left Zhongzhou when he was attacked by Sect Master Mingyue.

Could there be a connection between the two?

Even if there is contact, how could the other party know in advance that he is coming here to take the flying boat?If you say no... This is too coincidental, it seems that someone has predicted the future and arranged the situation one step in advance.

Thinking of the possibility of "prediction", Xie Qiao was thoughtful.

The world of self-cultivation is huge, full of wonders, and there are some people who specialize in spells that can predict the future, such as Tianji Pavilion.

However, hasn't the owner of the Tianji Pavilion died in Zhongzhou?Who else has the ability to predict the future like this?

Xie Qiao couldn't think of it for a while.

Bone continued: "I heard that the vicinity of the town is not very safe these days, and monks often disappear. When they reappear, there is only a skinny corpse that has been drained of blood."

Xie Qiao flexed his fingers and tapped lightly: "Is it a monster?"

"No." Bai Gu took a cautious look, and then whispered, "It is rumored outside that it is a demon cultivator."

Xie Qiao frowned slightly.

Extracting human essence and blood for cultivation—this kind of thing is indeed something that demon cultivators can do.However, since Xie Qiao became the Demon Lord, he has always disliked this kind of bloody cultivation method, and there are fewer Demon Cultivators who practice this kind of evil skills.

Besides, the Wanzong Grand Meeting is being held in Zhongzhou, where can there be such a bold and fearless demon cultivator, making trouble near Zhongzhou?I'm afraid it's too late to be a man with my tail between my legs.

In this way, it is not a magic cultivator.

Xie Qiao had a flash of inspiration, and coldly uttered a word: "Extraterrestrial demon."

Bone was taken aback.

Xie Qiao drew a circle on the table with his fingers, and then tapped lightly: "It's not Moxiu, I didn't notice the magic energy when I entered the city."

If it's not a magic cultivator, it's very likely that it's an extraterrestrial demon.

When I was in Zhongzhou before, I heard that the extraterrestrial demons have not been completely eradicated, and they are causing chaos and harming people outside, but their whereabouts are uncertain. Even Shen Guxue has not found any traces of the extraterritorial demons.

Xie Qiao looked at the lights outside the window, one clue after another flashed through his mind.

The gray mist that accompanied the extraterrestrial demons descending into the world.

It seemed that Sect Master Mingyue had predicted the future and laid an ambush early.The man in black, and the same gray mist that appeared in the glass bowl.

Also, the disappearance incident that appeared here at this time...

Xie Qiao said to himself: "...I know."

Bone: "My lord, what do you know?"

Xie Qiao: "I know why Shen Guxue can't find the Heavenly Demon from outside the Territory."

This topic is so jumpy, Bone is dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Xie Qiao said in a low voice: "The demons outside the territory have no shadow or form. Only by possessing a body can they walk in the world. The demons outside the territory must have already occupied a body."

"And the identity of this body must be neither high nor low - too high, it will easily attract attention, too low, it will be inconvenient to act."

Bone: "That's...?"

Xie Qiao felt something in his heart.

Back then in the gray mist, there was only one person who fully agreed with this request, and that was... Lin Chongyu, the master of the Tianji Pavilion.

If Lin Chongyu was possessed, everything would make sense.

Lin Chongyu has a pair of double pupils that can peek into the future, and it can also play a certain role after being possessed by an extraterrestrial demon.So every step he took afterwards fell into the other party's guess.

Why did the extraterrestrial demons target him?

The answer is simple, Zai Zai and the extraterrestrial demons coexist and restrain each other, and the extraterritorial demons must do whatever it takes to get rid of Zaizai.

And dealing with him is the first step in getting rid of Zai Zai.

If this conjecture is true, then - the man in black is Lin Chongyu who was possessed by an extraterrestrial demon.

It is not unconditional for an extraterrestrial celestial demon to possess a body. He needs blood to maintain his normal body. That's why monks disappeared in this town.

In this way, all the clues can be connected.

Bai Gu couldn't understand at all: "My lord, how did you know?"

Xie Qiao's tone was relaxed: "Guess."

The will-o'-the-wisps in the bone's eyes flickered, as if to say: Your lord, can you be more reliable?

Xie Qiao: "I'm [-]% sure."

Bone: "What about [-]%?"

Xie Qiao: "Try it and you'll know."

Bone had a bad premonition: "How to try?"

Xie Qiao sneered: "He thinks he can control the overall situation if he controls the future, but he doesn't know... this can also become our advantage."

His brows and eyes stretched, and a fierce evil spirit flashed past.

……

Early the next morning.

Xie Qiao pretended to be okay, and headed to the place where he took the flying boat again.

The shopkeeper was still sitting behind the counter, and was not surprised to see Xie Qiao and his party coming, but greeted them with a smile.

Xie Qiao stepped forward, without any nonsense, and said directly: "Lease a flying boat."

The shopkeeper didn't ask Xie Qiao what to rent the flying boat for, and didn't say how much it would cost. He readily agreed: "The flying boat is parked above the backyard, and the guest officer can pick it up by himself."

Xie Qiao knew that there must be fraud, but in order to meet the mastermind behind the scenes, he had no choice but to throw himself into the trap.

This method has certain risks, but what he is least afraid of is danger.

Xie Qiao nodded slightly, and walked to the backyard under the leadership of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper led the way and said: "As long as the guest officer transmits the aura into the core formation of the flying boat, he can control the direction of the flying boat and go wherever he wants..."

When Xie Qiao came to the backyard, a shadow fell over his head.He looked up and saw that the flying boat was suspended in the air, making a roaring sound as it went up and down.

The shopkeeper wanted to say something more, but he saw Xie Qiao's toes pointing, and the spiritual energy in his body was shaking, and he gently landed on the flying boat with him.

Xie Qiao lowered his eyes, separated a ray of spiritual energy and attached it to the flying boat, and quickly found the core of the flying boat. After two attempts, he drove the flying boat into the air slowly.

A bitter wind blew by.

As the airship lifted into the sky, the scenery below gradually shrank until it became a blurred black spot, covered by clouds and mist.

Bone stood on the deck, feeling uneasy: "Your Majesty..."

Xie Qiao glanced at him: "Don't talk nonsense, just stay away."

Bone hesitated to speak, but finally complied, and retreated into the darkness.

The booming sound continued.

Under the urging of the formation, the flying boat broke through the clouds and left a long trace in midair.

Xie Qiao had two things in one mind, controlling the flying boat while guarding the surroundings, even hugging the cub.

He thought that the man in black would show up at this time, but he waited for a long time until he left Zhongzhou far behind and disappeared.

All the way calm.

After hiding for a long time, Bai Gu came out from the darkness and said, "My lord, could it be that you guessed wrong?"

The corners of Xie Qiao's lips pursed into a straight line.

Bone: "It seems that we are about to go to the West Demon State, and the people in the dark haven't shown up yet, so maybe they gave up." She poked her head out, "Look, we've already reached the Shiwan Dashan."

The bottom is green and the mountains are endless, like a picture scroll slowly unfolding.

Zai Zai descended from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and now that he returned to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, he seemed to have sensed something, opened his eyes, and let out an "ahhh" sound.

Xie Qiao followed Zai Zai's point and looked down.

At this moment, there was a "bang" on the flying boat, and after a jolt, the flying boat suddenly disintegrated in mid-air.

Xie Qiao's feet were empty, and the cold wind rushed towards his face. He was haunted by the feeling of weightlessness, and he fell straight down.
