It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

I didn't expect Hua Jiu to be so deeply in love with her that he would do this because of her. At that time, I suspected that he was using a fake name and fake appearance to hide his ulterior motives. It was only just now that I learned from Xiao Liu that her surname was Hua Jiu, and her courtesy name was Shuangxue.

At the age of fifteen, she won the title of Hua Jinxiu, using her courtesy name instead of her given name.

Therefore, all Tushan warriors know Hua Shuangxue, but not Hua Jiu...

——I’m ashamed. So ashamed.

Shengsheng felt a pang of conscience.

If God gave her another chance, she would definitely hold Hua Jiu's hand tightly and say something to her.

"Good sister, you have been wronged..."

"...You will always be the person Shengsheng trusts the most!"

After all, that's the case.

A tool flower that is more reliable than a wife and more versatile is hard to find in the world. After using this one, I don’t know if there will be another one. Whenever thinking of this, Shengsheng would wipe away tears.

——Wow, this is so precious.

——I was so stupid back then, I was still suspicious.

If she didn't feel pity for the tender face, she would have slapped herself until she cried.

Thinking about these messy thoughts, Shengsheng was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses...

"no!"

"Xia Liu, what you said sounds like something extremely bad would have happened if my body had been taken away by Ning Yun and the others?"

"Miss, it's not like, it's definitely!"

Hearing Shengsheng's disapproving tone, Xia Liu immediately spoke.

"I will never lie. If I had failed to snatch the young lady away from you, there wouldn't be a Grand Master Hua Shuangxue."

"......After Master Hua got the young lady's body, he rushed to Liangshan day and night. It is the highest and coldest place in Xizhou, and there is a very special snow cave that is the coldest and coldest place."

"It was all thanks to that snow cave that the young lady's body was preserved. Twenty years have passed without any changes, as if she had just died."

The old woman seemed to recall the wonder of the corpse's incorruptibility. She paused for a moment and subconsciously shook her head with emotion.

Then, he continued to tell the story.

"But in the fifteenth year of chaos, the situation in Western Province is about to collapse."

"How can an egg remain intact when the nest is overturned? Lady Hua is worried that the Liangshan Snow Cave will be lost and she will not be able to protect the young lady... so she vowed to work hard to break through the fourth realm that has imprisoned her for a long time and reach the pinnacle of martial arts!"

"Since that day, Ms. Hua has not set foot in the snow cave for five years. Before that, no matter how busy or tired she was, she would rush back to the cave every night..."

Old Mrs. Xia suddenly stopped talking here.

The secret passage fell into silence.

"Why does Hua Shuangxue rush back to the cave every night?"

Although the other party stopped talking, Shengsheng was full of doubts.

"My Lord, she...she is guarding the young lady's body."

There was a flash of panic in the old lady's cloudy eyes. She had just spoken out of turn.

Fortunately, she has become more shrewd as she grows older. Even though she was not good at lying when she was young, she managed to come up with a barely reasonable excuse in a very short time for the secret of her most admired Master Hua.

"...Although Liangshan is cold, there are still ferocious beasts there."

"During the day, one of us four will stay outside the cave to guard. After nightfall, Master Hua will personally guard the young lady."

"Oh, I see."

There was a strange look in the girl's eyes.

Xiao Liuzi's cover-up was inadequate, and she saw through it at a glance. But Shengsheng did not expose the loyal old slave. After all, she had a hunch that it might reveal something extraordinary...

——This guy Hua Jiu!

The girl gritted her teeth secretly, and at the same time felt a little ashamed and angry.

"That's exactly what you said, young lady."

"So, Hua Shuangxue was promoted to Grandmaster based on my belief? She... is really amazing."

Xia Li had to admit that the other party's beliefs were indeed unique.

Before, she thought that Hua Shuangxue was in chaos in Xizhou because she herself failed to guard the gate, and she felt guilty every day and night, and felt sorry for the suffering of the common people. So she worked hard and finally achieved the position of Grandmaster.

—Asshole, give me back all my admiration for you at the beginning!

"right."

"The Ning sisters also extended their lifespans by fifty years. How are they now?"

Xia Liu only mentioned Hua Jiu and did not mention her ex-husband and ex-sister-in-law.

Shengsheng is still very curious about the life and death of these two people whose lifespans were extended by him...

"If it was Ning Xun, he would have died in battle in the tenth year of the chaos."

"Ning Jun is too mysterious, and I don't know..."

Chapter 61: The Ghost Queen

After the chaos in Xizhou, Xia Liuying had followed Hua Jiu for the longest time. Since they had worked together in the Xia Mansion before, it would not be surprising if they formed a fixed team or something.

and so.

Xia Liu knew a lot about Hua Jiu's affairs, and when he asked about the Ning sisters, he knew nothing about them...

However, Shengsheng is not really concerned about her ex-husband and ex-sister-in-law. She mainly wants to find out the success rate of her corpse's effect and whether it can extend her life 100%.

After asking the Ning sisters a few more questions, Shengsheng already had an idea.

"Tell me about yourself, Xia Liu..."

"Didn't Hua Shuangxue tell you to lie in wait for me? How did you get captured by the ghost?"

She changed the subject and moved to the other person.

The old woman's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she showed an expression of shame and self-blame on her face, but her eyes were firm and she seemed to have no regrets.

"I hope Miss will forgive me. The reason why I was captured was because I disobeyed Master Hua's instructions. I deserve it."

After she finished speaking, Old Lady Xia knelt down and apologized.

But he was held back by Sheng Sheng halfway...

"It doesn't have to be this way."

"...Xia Liu, you took great risks to hide in Renwang City and waited for me for many years. Even if you have no merit, you have worked hard. You don't need to take the blame."

When saying this, Shengsheng felt a little emotional.

Back then, she was unable to practice, and she relied on Hua Jiu's prestige to control her subordinates, so she was extremely strict. If they made the slightest mistake or disobeyed her orders, they would be severely punished.

This was done to make everyone fear her.

After all, she was just a little girl in her early teens at the time. She looked weak and powerless. How could she rule the whole prefecture without being very strict?

But now...

Things are completely different now!

She was a second-level cultivator and was proficient in three martial arts. Even ordinary first-level warriors could not defeat her.

From an actual combat perspective, Xia Li can be considered a Yin general.

There is no need to rely on other means to establish her prestige. She herself standing here is the biggest deterrent...Confidence comes from one's own strength!

The reason is so simple.

"Thank you, young lady."

A touch of emotion flashed across Xia Liu's eyes.

She didn't know that Shengsheng was spared punishment because he had become stronger and no longer needed to rely on tricks. She thought that the other party was grateful for her years of hard work and changed from being strict to being gentle...

"But it's a long story."

"It doesn't matter, just keep it short."

"it is good!"

The old woman nodded, not daring to hide anything from Xia Li.

"The story begins when Master Hua was promoted to Grandmaster, fought against the ghosts, signed the 'Mist Sea Covenant', and established a new city for humans..."

That year was the 20th year of the chaos.

As the situation deteriorates, the twelve cities of Xizhou fall one after another. The humans of Xizhou are on the verge of being exterminated, and the victory horn of the ghost side is about to be sounded.

A major event occurred that shocked Xizhou.

The three most prestigious ghost leaders are the 'Three Evils of the Fog Sea'... Lu Zhi, Cheng Qiang, and Wei Dong'er.

——Completely fall out with the Ghost Queen!

The Three Evils of the Sea of ​​Mist were the most powerful ghosts of that era, and each of them possessed the strength of a martial arts master.

Therefore.

The grandmaster warrior guarding Xizhou, as well as the two quasi-grandmasters Hua Jiu and Qi Ya from Wu Jinxiu, could only rely on the Yangshi giant crossbow to defend the two major gates. Even after the ghosts that invaded every three months were repelled, they dared not leave the city to pursue them!

It’s nothing, the enemy is just too strong.

And, the Queen of Ghosts.

Even more terrifying!

There was no trace of this name before the chaos in Xizhou began.

Until the 19th year of the chaos, there was a shocking battle outside Yutai City...The Ghost Queen and the national teacher Chu Ying who lived in seclusion in the city won after a bloody battle of seven days and seven nights, destroying the last pillar of Xizhou.

Only then did it become known to the world!

At the same time, it also brought endless fear to this land...

Grand Master.

The former national teacher Chu Ying was a real grandmaster, but he was defeated by the Ghost Queen, which shows how cruel and powerful she was.

While the humans were in a state of constant fear, the ghosts were secretly changing.

Ghost leaders like the Three Evils of the Fog Sea have always been free. Twenty years ago, the Ghost Queen suddenly emerged from the First Snow Ruins, and they had no choice but to submit and depend on her...

This surrender is not a sincere one.

But it is of physical nature.

After the Queen killed Chu Ying and was seriously injured, the three villains naturally became rebellious.

The following year marked the 20th year of chaos.

The three evil men suddenly attacked the queen, causing her further injuries and she no longer had the ability to control the souls.

This incident.

Later it was called the 'Rebellion of the Evil Star'...

At that time, even the three evil spirits themselves did not expect that on the tenth day after they successfully attacked the queen, Hua Shuangxue would be promoted to [Grand Master].

This series of shocking changes was the most critical turning point that allowed the human beings in Xizhou to survive to this day!

It has always been talked about by later generations.

During the "Rebellion of the Evil Star", Cheng Qiang, one of the three evil spirits, was killed by the Queen. The ghosts, who lost the suppression of two powerful men in succession, fell into complete civil strife... In desperation, the "Two Evil Spirits of the Fog Sea" had to sign an alliance with the human side of the newly emerging Grandmaster.

The two sides signed a 60-year armistice agreement in the First Snow City in the center of the sea of ​​fog.

This is.

——Alliance of the Sea of ​​Fog!

Afterwards, the ghosts attacked and fought each other fiercely, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that Shengsheng knew.

Humanity finally got a chance to catch its breath and recuperate.

Twenty years later, Hua Shuangxue's apprentice came out of the mountains and built the second human city...
