From the fake emperor to the concubine

Zheng Yi sighed helplessly, looked at her and said, “Please, girl, there is not much food in this cave, and I’m afraid you don’t have any fasting pills with you.

So we always have to go out and find something to eat; we can't just sit there and eat all the food.

Besides, since I promised to help you, I won't go back on my word.

"Your favor as a Crystallization Stage cultivator should be quite useful to someone like me who is in the Foundation Establishment Stage, don't you think?"

After hearing what Zheng Yi said, Shen Yumo felt relieved and nodded slightly.

However, Zheng Yi did not expect that this true disciple of the Tianxuan Sword Sect would have such a good temper, or maybe he was just someone who had to bow his head when he was under someone's roof.

I can only endure this humiliation temporarily.

In an instant, Zheng Yi was filled with thoughts.

He moved away the big rock blocking the entrance of the cave and looked forward. After these few days and nights, the monsters outside the cave had already left without any trace.

"You can breathe a sigh of relief for now."

Zheng Yi muttered to himself.

At this time, night fell and the sky was full of stars.

The bright starlight exudes a natural and ethereal artistic conception that is not found in Tiannanfang City and Qingshan Town.

"You can come out now. There are no monsters outside."

Zheng Yi said casually, put one hand behind his back, and took the lead to step out of the cave.

Hear this.

Shen Yumo behind him frowned slightly and followed him out.

Although she has lost many of the means of the Crystallization Period, it does not mean that she has no power to fight back. One must not underestimate the ability of a Crystallization Period cultivator.

When Shen Yumo came out of the cave, he looked around, and the previous vague worries immediately dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Simultaneously.

She also had a clearer understanding of Zheng Yi.

"Your personality is just okay, except that you like to play tricks on people."

Shen Yumo glanced at Zheng Yi, and it was obvious that he was still brooding over what had happened before.

Zheng Yi waved his hand and stopped teasing the little girl.

"I'm afraid it will take some time for your injury to fully recover. During this time, just stay in this cave in the Shiwan Mountains. It will probably take about half a month."

Zheng Yi put his hands behind his back, looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and casually told the details.

However, this information is not something that any powerful person in the Foundation Establishment Stage can know.

"Who are you exactly?"

At this moment, Shen Yumo finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore and asked all the questions in his heart out loud.

after all.

She was originally a great monk in the crystallization period.

Even though its strength has been damaged now, the situation doesn't seem to be like this under the circumstances.

not to mention.

There was also an unexpected misunderstanding between her and Zheng Yi. Although she was unwilling to accept it, things had come to this point.

It was as if she had nothing to lose.

"As you can see, I am just an ordinary practitioner in the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Zheng Yi spread his hands and explained softly.

However, Shen Yumo obviously did not believe this answer, but Zheng Yi did not explain any further.

He has never been in the habit of explaining too much to others.

The two of them spent the whole night quietly like this in the quiet late night, without saying a word.

in the following days.

Zheng Yi went out during the day and returned in the evening with captured prey.

And Shen Yumo, who was in the cave, silently took on the role of managing the cave.

She would use the Heavenly Sword in her hand to skillfully scrape the scales of the prey brought back by Zheng Yi, and then skewer it on the grill and carefully grill it.

In this short half month, the lives of the two seemed to be just as the world expected, working from sunrise to sunset, and resting from sunset to sunrise. Everything seemed beautiful and peaceful.

But they all knew in their hearts that such days would not last long, because their identities were extraordinary.

Time passed by inadvertently, and half a month was gone in a flash.

"what are you up to?"

That night, after dinner, Zheng Yi suddenly sat next to Shen Yumo.

After spending some time together, Shen Yumo was no longer wary of this relatively intimate distance and just asked casually.

"of course……"

Zheng Yi smiled wickedly and moved closer to Shen Yumo.

Shen Yumo's face turned slightly red, and just as she was about to say something, Zheng Yi suddenly turned sideways, walked past her, and went to the other side to pick up the remaining barbecue.

"Of course we have to have dinner, young lady. You have almost finished eating, but I am still hungry here."

"Nonsense, who is your husband?"

Shen Yumo rolled his eyes at Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi was extremely thick-skinned and said with a smile: "Of course it's me. Do you still want to deny it?"

Shen Yumo ignored Zheng Yi and turned to look at the night outside.

Both of them tacitly did not mention the topic that should not be mentioned.

Zheng Yi ate the barbecue with a chuckle, looking like a real foodie.

But at this moment, Shen Yumo suddenly pounced over and grabbed Zheng Yi's arms tightly with both hands.

Seeing this, Zheng Yi chuckled and said, "Now it's my turn to ask, Miss, what do you want to do?"

“What do I want to do?
You must know it clearly in your heart, is there any need to ask more questions? "

Shen Yumo stared at Zheng Yi with burning eyes.

This night is destined to be an extraordinary night.

One of them is a cultivator in the Crystallization Stage. Although his strength has been damaged, his foundation is still there; the other is only in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If we simply talk about the level of spiritual practice.

The gap is indeed not small, but the situation is far more complicated than imagined.

Zheng Yi did not refuse too much.

As the two of them were half-pushing and half-giving each other lip service, Shen Yumo said coquettishly, "Don't think you can get me easily."

however.

Soon, the two of them were immersed in this charming atmosphere.

"Absorb pure Yin energy and increase your lifespan by 150."

"Absorb pure Yin energy and increase your lifespan by 350 years."

"Absorb pure Yin energy and increase your lifespan by 700 years."

"Absorbing pure Yin energy, the Nine Yin Returning to Yang technique's spiritual energy increases by 420."

A series of reminders rang in Zheng Yi's ears.

That night, Shen Yumo was in an extremely high spirit, and the two of them remained sober the entire time.

In the end, Zheng Yi was the first to be defeated.

Although his spiritual consciousness was at the Golden Core Stage, his physical body had only recovered to the Foundation Establishment Stage level after the previous damage. After all, he was not as strong as the female cultivator.

……

The next morning.

The sunlight shines through the open hole and gently falls on Zheng Yi's face.

Zheng Yi woke up slowly, rubbed his eyes and looked around.

As he expected, there was no one around him.

Zheng Yi sighed helplessly, smiled and said to himself: "Next time we meet, I have to give her a good spanking."

Subsequently.

He prepared to get up.

I have stayed in these mountains for long enough. It would be difficult to gain any additional benefits if I stayed any longer.

Zheng Yi simply packed up the things in the cave, had breakfast, and left quietly.

at this time.

Shen Yumo, who obtained the spiritual object of heaven and earth, had a complicated look in his eyes.

She had already achieved her goal, but for some reason, she felt empty inside. She shook her head and said softly, "Forget it, don't think too much about it. Anyway, we probably won't have the chance to meet again in the future, so what's the point of thinking too much?"

Shen Yumo muttered to himself, and then tried to mobilize the spiritual power in his Dantian again.

However, as soon as the transfer.

Her face was filled with shock.

The spiritual power mobilized in her dantian was 30% more concentrated than when she was in the crystallization stage.

Her figure stopped in mid-air, and the powerful spiritual energy of the crystallization period instantly enveloped the surroundings.

Shen Yumo was puzzled.

She began to sort things out one by one, and soon came up with the only reasonable explanation.

"Could it be him?"

Shen Yumo murmured to herself, and the figure involuntarily emerged in her mind. It was Zheng Yi who had spent several nights with her in the cave before.

She looked at the blood bodhi in her hand, which she had not yet consumed, and it seemed that she could not find any other reasonable explanation except Zheng Yi.

Although this explanation sounds a bit crazy.

But there are signs that this is the case.

Thinking of this, Shen Yumo's eyes lit up slightly.

Suddenly she felt that Zheng Yi was not out of reach. Perhaps Zheng Yi could help her break free from the shackles of the Tianxuan Sword Sect and make her stronger. It was even possible for her to break through to a higher level in time.

And the chances of success have been greatly increased compared to before.

Shen Yumo took a deep breath, his eyes filled with joy and his face filled with excitement.

She used all her strength to activate the spiritual power of the crystallization period, transformed into a phantom, and flew towards the cave in front of the Ten Thousand Mountains at an extremely fast speed.

That speed is extremely fast.

In mid-air, it was almost difficult for others to see her figure.

Shen Yumo's figure landed steadily at the entrance of the cave, but found that the entrance was already open. The cave was cleaned up, but there was no one.

A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes, and a feeling of loss welled up in her heart.

"Are Zheng Yi and I just not meant to be together?"

But as a practitioner, I have always believed that "my destiny is in my own hands, not in the hands of God."

Shen Yumo snorted lightly and soon caught a hint of the breath left by Zheng Yi.

She recalled Zheng Yi's previous actions and every bit of their experiences together in her mind.

"Tianxuan Sword Sect, Tiannan Market.

He must be from around here, and I'm sure we'll meet again soon."

When Shen Yumo thought of this, the tension in his heart suddenly eased a lot.

Subsequently.

She turned into a phantom again, disappeared on the spot, and left the Shiwan Mountains.

When Zheng Yi appeared in Qingshan Town again, seven full days had passed.

During these seven days.

He had a fruitful harvest in the Ten Thousand Mountains, obtaining many spiritual objects from heaven and earth, including some rare items that even cultivators in the Crystallization Stage could use. This was purely due to luck.

"Greetings, Master Zheng Yi!"

At this time, the doorman outside the Song Mansion saw Zheng Yi and immediately nodded and bowed.

He bowed respectfully, bending his waist almost ninety degrees.

And at this moment, in the Song Mansion.

The real master had returned at some point and was now listening with interest, with his eyebrows raised, to the guests in front of him telling him about everything that his brother, who used to be the most troublesome one, had experienced during this period.

His expressions are rich and varied.

When I heard those incredible things, I couldn’t even believe it.

“You mean, in just one month since I left, our Qingshan Town Song Mansion has welcomed a powerful cultivator who is at least in the late stage of Qi Refining, and he has even accepted you as his disciple?

You are just a mere miscellaneous spiritual root!"

Song Hailong looked at his brother Song Xian with suspicion, then turned his gaze to the three guests beside him.

If it weren’t for the presence of these three guests.

He would have taken it as a ridiculous joke.

To know.

He himself had a mid-level spiritual root, but he was just doing average in the Tiannan market.

But now.

It was really hard for him to accept that his younger brother, who did not even have a low-grade spiritual root, could encounter such an opportunity.

Hearing his brother's words, Song Xian chuckled.

I couldn't be more proud of myself.

The three guests around him had expressions that did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Finally, one of the guests explained: "In fact, it was not that senior who took the initiative to accept the Third Young Master as a disciple, but the Third Young Master approached him eagerly."

The other two guests also nodded with complicated expressions.

Such an explanation.

It seemed that things finally made sense, and Song Hailong nodded silently.

Song Xian, who had not been seen for a month, had already broken through from the first level of Qi Refining to the second level, while Song Hailong himself was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"Are there any more pills?"

Song Hailong stretched out his right hand, and his intention was obvious.

Hearing this, Song Xian quickly covered his chest, looked at Song Hailong with a vigilant face, and said vividly: “Brother, this pill was specially given to us by the senior.

Not only do I have it, the three guest officials also have it, and their strengths have also been improved by one level.

It's not that I'm stingy as a younger brother, it's just that if the senior comes back, we, the younger generation, will have a hard time explaining ourselves."

As Song Xian spoke, he kept winking at the three guests around him.

The three guests understood what he meant and agreed: "That's right, young master. We never know when the senior will be back."

"My Lord, it would be better for you to wait for a while."

Everyone said something to me.

After hearing this, Song Hailong rolled his eyes at them.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to respond.

Suddenly, a servant came to report: "Three guests, the eldest son, the third son, the senior is back again!"

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, Song Xian danced with excitement and ran out directly.

The three guests behind him were not to be outdone and immediately followed.

In the blink of an eye.

Only Song Hailong, the eldest son with the highest cultivation level in the mansion, remained there.

Song Hailong sighed helplessly and muttered to himself, "I'm really curious about the origins of this senior. I don't believe he's as powerful as my useless brother said."

then……

Outside the Song Mansion.

"Junior, Song Hailong greets the senior! Greetings to the great foundation-building cultivator!"

Song Hailong bowed his hands forward, head down, and bent his body at a 45-degree angle to salute.

His expression showed respect.

But there was a storm in my heart.

"He is actually a great monk who has established his foundation!"

"This person is probably a person who can occupy a place in Tiannan Market. I didn't expect that he came to this small Qingshan Town and got involved with my Song family."

“This is really a great thing!”

……

Zheng Yi was welcomed into the mansion, and Song Hailong and Song Xian surrounded him on both sides.

For a time, there was not even room for the three guest officials.

The three of them looked at each other in silence.

They could only sigh together. (End of this chapter)
