I'm Ximen Qing, living in a ghost story!

This crow is indeed a demon, and quite powerful at that.

Ximen Qing thought he was better than Qingsongzi!

He was able to strike successfully because of the sheer power of the golden brick magic weapon itself.

This proved to be true; the fact that three Soul Points were awarded was enough to demonstrate their value.

After the [Questioning the Gods] ritual was completed, as expected, the soul of the crow spirit was summoned.

Unfortunately, this crow spirit cannot speak.

However, Ximen Qing was not without options. With a slight flick of his fingers, he suddenly grasped the soul of the crow spirit!

Instantly, a flood of fragmented memories rushed towards me!

Within these fragments, Ximen Qing witnessed some unusual scenes from a first-person perspective.

These are the memories left over from the fairy's previous life!

In the fragments of memory, there was Qin Jing, who stood beside the crow spirit with an arrogant and domineering air, uttering harsh words to a burly man with a thick beard opposite him.

What followed was a fierce battle, and finally the crow spread its feathers, and countless feathers flew out, turning the burly, bearded man opposite it into a hedgehog.

Win this match.

Among the fragments of memory is the image of the crow spirit standing on the wall watching Ximen Qing and his group arrive.

"Oh?"

At this moment, Ximen Qing saw a very conspicuous figure in the group through the "crow's" perspective.

A deep blue aura enveloped it, making it appear like a sapphire against the backdrop of countless other objects around it.

"Xiaoqian?"

Is this the "woman" that the crow spirit wanted?

Ximen Qing was not surprised at all. A top-tier female ghost who could attract the attention of the Black Mountain Demon after death must be no ordinary person to a demon.

Unfortunately, Xiaoqian is now his private possession!

The crow spirit's soul completely dissipated, and through interrogating the surrendered bandits, Ximen Qing pieced together a plausible explanation.

First of all, the Black Wind Stronghold's primary job is indeed correct; they really are road bullies.

Qin Jing was indeed the second chieftain; the bearded giant who was killed by the crow spirit was the chieftain.

That's right, Ximen Qing and his men were lucky; they caught the mountain stronghold in a fire, which is why they were able to take over this place so easily.

The reason for this is quite abstract: Qin Jing bypassed the old village chief and gained the approval of the "Mountain God".

However, this mountain god is not this big crow; the crow spirit is merely the so-called "messenger of the mountain god."

It is said that the original village chief was abandoned by the mountain god because he had not offered enough sacrifices to the mountain god in preparation for his upcoming birthday banquet.

"Offerings? What should we offer as offerings?"

Looking at these trembling fellows who were uttering incoherent words, Ximen Qing asked.

They have brought the fire under control and found some bandits who were not killed.

"A human! A human!"

"Oh?"

The black whirlwind in Black Wind Mountain is the power of the mountain god. It was originally meant to be an inescapable force, and anyone who entered would die.

However, a few years ago, a man walked out of Black Wind Mountain alive, recruited soldiers and horses, established a stronghold, set up checkpoints and rules, and made it necessary for caravans to be led by a guide from the mountains.

However, the journey will certainly not be smooth sailing; it's common for a few people to die, but as long as the main force can get through, that's fine.

Thus, through these "reasonable losses," Black Wind Village became a front for the mountain god, responsible for recruiting people for him.

However, in the past few months, the mountain god has been holding a banquet, and the shortage of supplies has become too great. Recently, the number of caravans passing through Black Wind Mountain has gradually decreased, resulting in insufficient offerings to the mountain god. Therefore, the mountain god sent a crow spirit to rebuke the bearded giant.

While the burly man with the bushy beard was complaining to the crow spirit, Qin Jing took advantage of the situation without him noticing.

Qin Jing is a ruthless man. In order to rise to power, he did not hesitate to agree to the crow spirit's request to run out of the mountain village to kidnap people and bring them back to worship the mountain god!

Just as they were about to leave the village, they encountered Ximen Qing and his entourage.

The flock of crows that just scattered were the accompanying "warlords".

"What mountain god? This is a great demon lurking in the mountains! It's crows and black whirlwinds! Son, these mountains are dangerous; we can't go in rashly. Why don't we turn back the way we came? Let these bandits be our laborers and clear the blocked road!"

Ximenda looked at Ximen Qing and made a suggestion.

Perhaps even Simon himself didn't realize that he had already taken Ximen Qing's opinion as his main reference.

"How long will it take you to repair the road outside the mountain?"

Looking at the group of ugly and deformed people in front of him, Ximen Qing was furious and kicked them a few more times.

If it weren't for these guys, they wouldn't have had to go into the mountains.

"That road outside? That's a road the chief and his men have been digging for years, and it's full of traps. If we're just guessing, it'll take more than half a month to repair it so that a horse-drawn carriage can pass through!"

"What? Half a month!"

Ximen Qing shouted loudly, startling the bandit who had just replied, causing him to stumble and kowtow repeatedly.

"My lord, please don't kill me! I've told you the truth, I haven't hidden a single thing!"

Ximen Qing beat the bandit again, almost making him shit himself, but he still insisted that it would take at least half a month.

"Alright, it's getting late, and the uncles and elders at home are all tired. Let's rest for the night."

Ximen Qing stroked his chin and looked at Ximen Da.

"Alright, since we've already been delayed on the road, there's no rush. I'll have them rest in the village tonight."

Simon nodded and went out to make the arrangements.

Nie Xiaoqian and Cui Ji also prepared to leave.

However, just as Cui Ji was about to leave with Nie Xiaoqian, Ximen Qing stopped him.

Ximen Da Guanren said solemnly, "Aji, I feel that today, with the moon and stars shining brightly, is the perfect time for progress. I need your help in my cultivation!"

Cui Ji was taken aback, then blushed.

"Cultivation? Sister Aji, you can cultivate too? Could you teach me?!"

Unfortunately, Nie Xiaoqian, who was standing nearby, had sharp ears and overheard the conversation, so she asked...

Seeing Xiaoqian's expectant gaze beside her, and then looking at Ximen Qing's malicious smile across the way, Cui Ji finally transformed into a steam girl and plunged headfirst into Ximen Qing's arms.

"Ahem, Miss Nie, please don't be impatient. We haven't yet exchanged betrothal gifts or marriage vows. If you want to cultivate together with me, you'll have to wait a bit. However, if you're in a hurry, I can reluctantly agree to...

Before Ximen Qing could finish speaking, he saw the back of Nie Xiaoqian's head.

"Pah! You lecherous scoundrel!"

"Hahaha!"

"Oh, young master, let's not say any more, let's go!"

Cui Ji pulled the smiling Ximen Qing toward the carriage.

Meanwhile, Chunmei was already waiting patiently in the car.

With a formidable enemy at hand, even last-minute preparations can be effective!

In order to deal with the possible crisis from the "Mountain God", Ximen Qing must cultivate himself properly!

Sigh! Who told him to carry such a heavy burden on his shoulders now?

Since things have come to this, let's practice dual cultivation first.

"Young master, what are you thinking about?"

After a fierce and exhilarating battle, a pair of soft hands climbed onto his chest. Chunmei's eyes were alluring, and her other hand roamed up and down.

Wow, this woman is hiding a great evil. You really can't judge a book by its cover!

No wonder she's one of the three female protagonists whose names are in the book's title.

Although Cui Ji, who was standing next to Chunmei, was somewhat restrained because of Chunmei's presence, he also felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.

Grit your teeth, you can't fall behind!

It can truly be said that he was a man of great talent and whose friends were all of high social standing.

Before long, the carriage began to sway rhythmically again, while in the other carriage next to it, Nie Xiaoqian covered her ears, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
