Chapter 80 My Little Qingqing

"Qingqing, come out quickly, please don't let anything happen to you."

"Kang Kang, don't scare me, that woman has gone crazy."

"My little Qingqing, please appear quickly..."

As night falls and darkness envelops the earth, the pavilion on the mountainside stands silently, like a solitary guardian.

Around the pavilion, the chirping of insects came from the grass, like a gentle serenade.

On the stone table in the pavilion, there was a small blue and white porcelain vase. Kui Ran bowed and prayed to the gods around the vase, hoping that Kang Qing would reappear in his heart. He paced anxiously around the stone table.

Seeing that the bottle didn't react after asking for a long time, Kui Ran couldn't help but pick it up and peek into the bottle with her right eye.

"Shen Anzhi! This crazy woman, she's really gone mad, mad..." Kui Ran complained as she picked up the blue and white porcelain bottle and shook it.

No matter what Kui Ran did, Kang Qing seemed to have vanished.

A gentle breeze rustled the branches of the trees beside the pavilion, the leaves whispering as if they were conversing with the pavilion itself. Occasionally, a fallen leaf would drift down and gently land on the ground, adding a subtle sound to the tranquil night.

Kui Ran reluctantly placed the blue-and-white porcelain vase on the stone table again, and then quietly watched it.

"Qingqing, you can't have anything happen to you. You can't just steal my heart and then leave me alone."

"If I had known, I would have stayed in Jingdezhen with you instead of coming to Sanqingshan."

As she spoke, Kui Ran untied the gourd from her waist, then sat on the stone bench, drinking wine with her eyes fixed on the blue and white porcelain vase.

A pavilion, the moonlight, and waiting for a loved one.

Just as Kui Ran was immersed in the enchanting night and waiting for Kang Qing to appear, a gentle breeze suddenly blew by, bringing a strange fragrance. The fragrance seemed familiar, and after thinking about it, she realized it was peach blossom!
Kui Ran looked up in confusion and saw Kang Qing standing beside the pavilion, dressed in a pink silk dress. Her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, her eyes as clear as autumn water, and she seemed to radiate a soft light.

"Qingqing." Kui Ran excitedly rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

At this moment, Kang Qing no longer possessed any demonic magic. Her century-long cultivation had been completely destroyed during the day, and she was now just a demon spirit without any rank. But thankfully, she was still alive.

"Are you really afraid of losing me?" Kang Qing's eyes widened. In fact, she had seen Kui Ran's state just now.

Kui Ran pulled Kang Qing's hand and sat down: "Isn't that obvious?"

Kang Qing looked at Kui Ran with relief. Thinking of how Kui Ran had pleaded for her in front of Shen Anzhi today, she said with great emotion, "Kui Ran, thank you. Really, I didn't love the wrong person in my life."

"Oh dear, stop talking nonsense. Why don't you listen to me? What are you doing up the mountain? You almost lost your life. Now the mountain is full of demon hunters." Kui Ran was a little angry, but she was worried about Kang Qing.

Kang Qing pursed her lips and said, "I'm worried about you."

"Forget it, you should go down the mountain tomorrow. It's seriously unsafe to stay here. You should go back to Jingdezhen," Kui Ran arranged.

Kang Qing held Kui Ran's hand tightly and asked worriedly, "What about you? Why don't you go too? Let's go back to Bitaoyuan together and ask the Peach Blossom Master to build us another thatched hut. Then we can be together shamelessly like this."

Kang Qing's words made Kui Ran smile and say, "You don't need to worry about me, I still have to go to the Dragon Tiger Hall with them."

"Can we not go?" Kang Qing asked, sounding very worried.

Kui Ran frowned: "To be honest, such an opportunity is indeed very tempting for us demon hunters."

After saying that, Kui Ran saw that Kang Qing still looked worried, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, Shen Anzhi is here."

"Her!" Kang Qing knew a little about Shen Anzhi's abilities, but this was, after all, a den of dragons and tigers.

“Yes!” Kui Ran nodded and said, “I always felt that this Shen Anzhi is really capable. A little girl, starting from Jiangxin Village, has been slaying demons and monsters all the way, and in just a few months she has already become an eight-coin demon slayer.”

"You mean she can handle it?" Kang Qing really wanted to persuade Kui Ran to give up. Kui Ran firmly stroked Kang Qing's cheek and said, "Don't worry, this crazy woman can enter her dreams and meet her ancestor all the time, and she always manages to turn bad luck into good. Promise me, you go back to Jingdezhen first."

……

The moonlight, like water, gently bathed them, outlining a warm and tender scene. Kang Qing leaned slightly against Kui Ran's shoulder, her hair fluttering in the breeze, releasing a faint fragrance. Kui Ran held Kang Qing tightly, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.

The next day,

Early in the morning, Kui Ran took Kang Qing and prepared to leave Sanqing Mountain. He tied the blue and white porcelain bottle to his waist, and Kang Qing was inside the bottle. After all, Kang Qing no longer had any demonic cultivation, and any spirit master could easily capture him. The only way was to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible and settle him in Jingdezhen, where there was plenty of porcelain energy.

"Kui Ran, just take me down the mountain. Remember, don't be reckless if anything happens," Kang Qing kept reminding him the whole way.

Upon arriving at the mountain gate, Kui Ran suddenly thought of getting a pot of wine: "Qingqing, you wait here, I'll go get a pot of wine."

After saying that, Kui Ran walked towards the sacred spring next to the mountain gate. This was a transit and supply point for people going up and down the mountain. In addition to water, the spring also contained wine for people going up and down the mountain to drink.

Just as Kui Ran was getting the wine, Kang Qing suddenly saw the spirit snake.

"Spicy Snack!" Kang Qing suddenly called out to the spirit snake that was climbing the mountain.

The snake was very surprised, its two antennae on its head rubbing together incessantly, and it retorted angrily, "How dare you call me spicy strip!"

Kang Qing is now a small blue-and-white porcelain vase that can run around. Like the spirit snake, it is a spiritual object or pet, so they are at the same level. However, the spirit snake seems to dislike the name "spicy strips" very much, which reminds it of Kui Ran.

"Little vase, what did you just call me?" The snake approached Kang Qing and asked fiercely.

Kang Qing naturally repeated, "Spicy strips."

"ah!"

Suddenly, without saying a word, the spirit snake started fighting with Kang Qing. A spirit snake and a spirit porcelain doll started fighting at the mountain gate. The spirit snake was very agile and immediately used a "grand slam" around its waist, tightly strangling Kang Qing.

Kang Qing was shocked and terrified at the same time. She couldn't understand how the spirit snake could be so powerful, or how it could be so sensitive to the words "spicy strips". She used all her strength to try to break free, but the more she struggled, the tighter the spirit snake seemed to wrap around her.

"Hehehe, what a cute little vase. Just bear with it, you won't feel dizzy anymore." The serpent coiled around her with all its might.

Kang Qing's vision began to blur, and she was unable to make a sound.

At the critical moment, Kui Ran happily walked over with her wine gourd: "Hey, spicy strips."

The sound startled the snake so much that it immediately released its grip and darted into the leaves of a nearby tree.

"Kang Qing, Kang Qing." Kui Ran picked up the blue and white porcelain vase and kept patting it until Kang Qing calmed down.

Seeing the trembling snake under the leaves, Kui Ran immediately scolded, "You, do you believe I'll soak you in wine and drink it?"

After saying that, Kui Ran swung her broadsword and slashed at the leaves.

Fortunately, Kui Ran deliberately missed her target, and the snake escaped unharmed, quickly climbing up the mountain.

"Qingqing, are you alright?" Kui Ran asked, cradling Kang Qing in her hands.

Kang Qing recovered his senses, the terrifying scene from just now still fresh in his mind: "This, this spirit snake is protected by celestial energy."

"What do you mean?" Kui Ran asked.

Kang Qing: "It is not a spirit pet."
