In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 71 The Water Monster Whose Cultivation Was Ruined

The water monster discovered that he had been taken to an unfamiliar place by two mysterious children.

This place is rich in spiritual energy, with lush vegetation and abundant plants, making it an excellent sanctuary for cultivation.

The voice that just appeared in my ears was very strange; it must have come from the master of the two children, whose strength was unfathomable.

Seeing that the restraints on its body were removed, it tried to escape, so it struggled to get up, only to find that its knees seemed to be fused to the ground, and it could not move at all.

The water monster was terrified.

"Let me go!" it cried out in panic and horror, "Where am I? Let me go, let me go!"

Seeing it struggling in panic, Gu Yuexi kindly explained, "This is Qihuang Mountain in the Jinsheng Mountain Range."

"You should answer my question now."

"Hmph!" The water monster was extremely defiant; it hated being threatened. "What if I don't answer?"

Gu Yuexi's tone remained unchanged: "You can choose to refuse, but I also have ways of finding out everything."

For some reason, the water monster felt a chill as soon as these words were spoken.

Gu Yuexi's solution was naturally to use the Soul Searching Technique.

Unfortunately, the monster misunderstood her intentions, thinking she wanted to end her life, and its will to survive led it to answer her question.

It stopped struggling and tried to negotiate with her: "I can answer your questions, provided you untie my restraints first."

The feeling of being controlled is unpleasant, as if one's life is in the hands of the other party, and one can be played with at any time.

Although Gu Yuexi didn't understand why it had changed its tune, it saved her some effort.

A beam of light flew out from within the Divine Palace and struck the water monster's body. The water monster was surrounded by spiritual energy and discovered that it could move again.

All that can be seen are their supernatural powers, but not their person!
Such powerful cultivation...

The water monster was cautious and even more wary of this mysterious Golden Saintess, its intuition telling it that she was no ordinary demon.

The water monster remained silent for a long time. Gu Yuexi then said, "What? Don't know where to start? Then first introduce your origins. You shouldn't have looked like this before."

Suppressing her fear, Wu Minmin asked it urgently, "Does my Wu family have a deep grudge against you? Why do you want to take revenge on the Wu family?"

The water monster took a deep breath, then laughed angrily: "Revenge? I was merely giving them a taste of their own medicine. What wrong have I done?"

It let out a long, bitter sigh, as if recalling some painful past.

It took a deep breath and recounted the whole story of how it framed the Wu family, including the answers Wu Minmin wanted to know.

"Five hundred years ago, I was originally a little carp, playing and frolicking in the water all day long. By absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, I accidentally embarked on the path of cultivation. Like other demons, I also dreamed of transforming into human form, learning supernatural powers, living as long as heaven and earth, and shining as brightly as the sun and moon."

"After five hundred years of wind and rain, I finally got the chance to transform into human form. Unfortunately, on the day before my transformation, everything was ruined by Zhang Heng, the son-in-law of the Wu family!"

Upon hearing that this matter was related to her father, Wu Minmin covered her mouth, her face filled with disbelief.

"He threw a resentful corpse into the lake where I lived. The blood stained my body, causing me to fail to transform. The resentment entered my body and destroyed my foundation, turning me into this inhuman and ghostly state."

“I am unwilling to let five hundred years of hard work go to waste. I want to take revenge, but the Wu family was prepared. They built a warehouse in front of the courtyard where I live. The layout of the warehouse forms a trap, which restricts my freedom and prevents me from taking revenge.”

"The three-year drought destroyed the layout of the warehouse, but my cultivation had long since dissipated. Furthermore, due to resentment entering my body, I could only appear at night. In order to ruin the reputation of the Wu family, I tampered with the cloth using maggots."

"Although these maggots do not cause death, they have the ability to reproduce endlessly, easily causing their host to suffer greatly."

"I want them to live in pain, to live under the scorn of others, to taste the helplessness I once felt. That is my purpose! That is the whole truth!"

After saying that, the water monster chuckled.

"No!" Wu Minmin couldn't accept this fact. The Wu family seemed to have suddenly changed from victims to culprits. She tried her best to explain: "This is all a misunderstanding. My father is usually gentle and polite. How could he possibly kill someone? And it just so happens that he ruined your cultivation!"

Her father could never be that kind of person!

It must be a misunderstanding!

Gu Yuexi said, "Whether it's true or not, we'll know by bringing your father here and asking him."

She gave Huowa and Shuiwa orders: "Huowa and Shuiwa, go and bring the rest of the Wu family members here."

Wu Minmin collapsed to the ground, utterly distraught.

The two children went to the Wu family's house again.

"Get away! Get away! I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Hahaha..."

Wu Minmin's mother, Wu Huier, has gone mad again.

Seeing her daughter so erratic, Old Madam Wu was heartbroken: "What's going on? It can't be a nightmare in broad daylight, can it?"

"My God! What sins has the Wu family committed?!"

First, their family's business ran into trouble, then they discovered a water monster in their backyard, and now their daughter has gone insane.

Old Mrs. Wu had just seen her granddaughter off when she came to check on her daughter. To her surprise, her daughter, who had been sleeping peacefully, woke up and picked up a pair of scissors, intending to harm her mother. Fortunately, her son-in-law was quick to stop her.

She was heartbroken and wailed loudly, "Hui'er! My Hui'er! What kind of demons and monsters have you offended?"

Zhang Heng comforted her, "Mother, don't be too sad. I'll go and inquire about famous monks and invite them to perform a ritual for Hui'er to drive away the bad luck from her body."

Speaking of eminent monks, Madam Wu thought of the two celestial children she had just seen.

"A celestial child! A celestial child!"

Zhang Heng asked, "Mother, what are you saying?"

Because when Madam Wu returned, her daughter had gone mad, so she didn't have time to tell her son-in-law where her granddaughter was.

"brush!"

Two little children appeared out of nowhere.

Zhang Heng's expression changed: "What are you?"

He stood in front of his wife, watching the two children who had suddenly appeared warily.

Who is Zhang Heng?

Old Madam Wu quickly asked, "Fairy Boy, what brings you here? Where is my granddaughter Minmin? Why hasn't she come back?"

"By the way, you said you were looking for Zhang Heng, but what do you want with my son-in-law?"

Huowa turned to the young man beside him and asked, "Are you Zhang Heng? The Empress is looking for you. Please come with us."

"What empress?"

Zhang Heng frowned, completely bewildered.

Suddenly, he remembered his mother-in-law's strange behavior: "Mother, do you know these two strange little children?"

Madam Wu nodded: "They are the attendants of the Golden Saint Goddess, the mountain spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. They encountered Hui'er's nightmare just now. I haven't had a chance to tell you yet. There is a water monster in the courtyard behind our storeroom. It looks terrifying, but it has now been subdued by the two immortal attendants."

Zhang Heng reacted strongly: "What? The monster in the backyard has been subdued? How is that possible?"

"Um... I mean, if that water monster is really that powerful, could two kids really subdue it?"

Madam Wu shook her head: "I've already told you they are celestial children. I didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now I do!"

"By the way, Immortal Child, do you need something from my son-in-law?"

"The Empress has summoned you to Mount Qihuang. It concerns a water monster and the reason why the cloth is infested with insects," Shuiwa said.

"Ahhh..." A scream came from the side: "Kill you all, you all deserve to die, you all deserve to die, hahaha..."

Madam Wu said with difficulty, "Xiantong, my daughter is like this... I'm not comfortable leaving her at home."

"Small thing!"

Shuiwa put two fingers together and pointed at Wu Huier's forehead. A light blue glow flashed, and Wu Huier shuddered. She blinked and returned to normal.

"Mom, what's wrong with me?"
