We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 104 You can't get tired of reading this!

"Why?"

Xiao Mo asked in confusion.

Shang Jiuli raised her fair chin smugly, as if to say, "Junior brother, your attitude is making things difficult for your senior sister."
Xiao Mo was taken aback for a moment, then bowed to Shang Jiuli and respectfully asked, "Please enlighten me, Senior Sister."

After satisfying her "little vanity" as a senior sister, Shang Jiuli stepped forward and whispered:

"I'm telling you, but you can't tell anyone."

The reason why the dragons have difficulty overcoming tribulations is that during the first great war between the human race and the demon race, the ancient sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought used the human race's fortune to seal off the fortune of the dragons.

During the first war between humans and demons, both the human and demon races tried their best to win over the dragon race.

The reason is simple: humans are actually quite close to dragons, since dragons possess the innate supernatural power to summon wind and rain. Therefore, most mortal dynasties have a good relationship with dragons.

Ordinary people would even build temples for some of the dragons, which were called Dragon King Temples.

The dragon, relying on the incense offerings from the people, finds it easier to cultivate itself; it can be said that they complement each other.

However, the demon race also has a good impression of the dragon race.

This is not difficult to understand.

Dragons can be considered demons no matter what.

Back then, the human race didn't actually expect the dragon race to help fight against the demon race; they just wanted the dragon race to remain neutral.

But it's unknown what the demon race promised the dragon race.

In the end, the dragons joined the demons.

The dragon race was already very powerful. The four dragon kings were all at the Ascension Realm, not to mention the hundreds of dragons under their command, whose realms ranged from Nascent Soul to Immortal Realm, and they ruled over the four seas.

The Dragon Clan's allegiance to the Demon Clan means that the Four Seas have stood on the opposite side of the Human Clan.

Therefore, it is becoming increasingly difficult for humans to fight against the demon race.

Fortunately, there was a monk who led our human race in resistance.

After that great battle, the cultivator perished without even leaving his name, and the ancient sages also remained silent about it.

However, the human race won with great difficulty under his leadership.

The demon race was ultimately defeated, while the dragon race suffered countless casualties.

The ancient sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought took the opportunity to block the dragon race's fortune.

The reason the ancient sages did this was because everyone knew that the demon race was not convinced, especially the dragon race of the four seas, which had suffered too many losses and accumulated a lot of resentment.

They worried that if the dragons joined the next war between humans and demons, humanity would face great difficulties, so they simply cut off the dragons' escape route.

"I see," Xiao Mo nodded thoughtfully.

Shang Jiuli continued, "I heard my grandfather say that nowadays, if a dragon wants to successfully overcome its tribulation, it must at least have the assistance of a sage to break the seal on it. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to succeed."

"What is this heart of a sage?" Xiao Mo asked again.

“The heart of a sage is so difficult to attain. Take us Confucian scholars for example. To achieve the heart of a sage, firstly, you must reach the realm of immortals. Secondly, you must have your own insights into Confucianism and Taoism, at the very least write books and establish theories, and gain the recognition of the Great Tao.”

Currently, among the Confucian academies and the four major academies, there are no more than six people who can reach this level.

Even my husband hasn't reached that level.

Moreover, the sage-like heart was used to lift the blockade on the dragons, but the price was to offer the sage-like heart as a sacrifice to heaven and earth.

So you're saying, how could a saint possibly sacrifice themselves to help a dragon or something similar overcome its tribulation?

Hearing Senior Sister Shang's words, Xiao Mo lowered his head and remained silent.

"Alright, that's all I'll tell you. You absolutely mustn't tell anyone else, okay? Back then, I was also very interested in dragons and phoenixes, and I kept pestering Grandpa until he finally agreed to tell me," Shang Jiuli said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, Senior Sister," Xiao Mo replied.

"Let's go. Don't oversleep tomorrow. Remember to attend class. You're just starting out, so you'll need to attend large classes at first. Once you've made some progress, you can follow the teacher like we have." "Yes."

Xiao Mo bowed and bid farewell to Senior Sister Shang.

On the way back, Xiao Mo was still thinking about the heart of a sage.

Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Mo returned to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a woman in a white dress was carrying bedding out of the room and placing it in the sun to air it.

"Xiao Mo, you're back."

Upon seeing Xiao Mo, the woman's peach blossom eyes overflowed with joy.

"Well, I'm back."

Xiao Mo walked into the courtyard with a smile and helped Ru Xue put the quilt on the bamboo pole in the yard to dry.

"Have you seen Mr. Qi?" Bai Ruxue asked.

"seen."

"How is Mr. Qi?"

“Mr. Qi is a free-spirited person, and he is very learned. These days, I will first attend large classes at the academy, and then I will seek out Mr. Qi to study.” Xiao Mo looked at the woman beside him. “During this time, I may be leaving early and returning late, leaving you alone at home. I’m afraid you might get a little bored.”

"nothing."

Bai Ruxue shook her head.

“I have a lot to do, like cleaning the yard, washing your clothes, and cooking for you when you come home. I won’t be bored.”

"Really?" Xiao Mo smiled.

“Really, really.” Bai Ruxue nodded. “And because I know you’ll come back, I have something to look forward to every day. I’m so happy whenever I see you come back.”

Hearing Ru Xue's words, Xiao Mo's heart was slightly touched. He reached out to touch Ru Xue's hair, but because he was thinking of something, his hand remained suspended in the air and he did not put it down.

Seeing this, Bai Ruxue took a step forward and placed Xiao Mo's hand on her head.

Under the man's large palm, Bai Ruxue narrowed her eyes and rubbed against Xiao Mo's large palm.

Looking at the woman in front of him, who resembled a kitten, Xiao Mo couldn't help but smile: "Ru Xue."

"Hmm?" Bai Ruxue blinked.

"Do you think I can become a Confucian sage?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Huh?" Bai Ruxue asked, puzzled. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Mo shook his head. "It just suddenly came to mind. I heard from my senior sister that every Confucian scholar aims to write books and establish doctrines, and to become a sage."

“Emm,” Bai Ruxue stroked her chin, “Becoming a saint is very difficult, but I believe you can do it.”

“Then I will try my best. When I was little, Ru Xue, you taught me to read. When I become a sage, Ru Xue, you will be the sage’s mentor.” Xiao Mo said with a smile.

"The sage's mentor, huh~ that sounds quite nice." Bai Ruxue thought this title was pretty good.

“Then I’ve made up my mind. I will cultivate diligently and transform into a true dragon.” Bai Ruxue clenched her little fist. “After all, I, as your mentor, cannot disgrace the future Confucian sage.”

Xiao Mo was slightly taken aback, gently stroked her long hair, and said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll wait for that day. I've never seen a real dragon before. You must look very beautiful when you transform into a real dragon."

"Then I'll stay with you every day and show it to you every day." Bai Ruxue pouted, "You can't get tired of seeing it."

"Will not."

Xiao Mo shook his head and looked directly into the woman's eyes.

"I never get tired of looking at it."
