It was rare that this taciturn adoptive father spoke a few more words to her today.

But, asking Chuxue to move away from this human settlement, to stay with Xianfeng all day, meditating, chanting scriptures, and cultivating her body and mind is not an option!

I am not the Monkey King from Mount Huaguo who traveled across mountains and rivers to fight in the Dongsheng Continent.

Asking her to cultivate immortality might have been possible in her first life, but now she just wants to have a good nap every day.

The girl, who had not corrected her mindset and wanted to cheat in order to avoid being bound by strict rules and regulations in the future, quickly started trying to dismantle the system.

Then, he found that no matter how hard he tried, the stone lock wouldn't budge at all...

This god actually used such a trick to kidnap the child? !

When Chuxue cast a look of shock and confusion at him, Li simply said calmly, "What's wrong?"

"I can't break it."

The little girl could only speak aggrievedly.

"..."

Perhaps it was this adorable appearance that finally aroused the Rock King's sympathy. He tapped the stone lock lightly with his fingers, and the weight inside suddenly decreased sharply, so that even Chu Xue could pick it up easily.

The girl spent the rest of the time trying to figure out how to crack the code, while her father watched her methods as carefully as if he was checking his daughter's homework.

Occasionally I would share my own opinions.

It's been a long time since I felt supervised while doing my homework.

However, it is much better than before. At that time, if she wrote a little slower or didn't know the answers to some questions, she would be scolded and asked whether she was paying attention in class. It is much better now.

Li's teaching was more practical, or in other words, he would tell her the simplest and most crude solutions and ideas.

As for the clever ideas behind the structure or other different concepts, he felt that there was no need for them.

Whether or not you can understand it is irrelevant. After all, from today's perspective, although the mechanism of the final return is indeed unique, it is as difficult to influence the outcome of a war between demons as to ask a mortal to kill a demon.

These mechanisms can only allow mortals to live better, without having to fight wild beasts with bare hands, and have the power to resist when evil spirits attack.

But that’s all—

So, instead of spending all your energy studying it, it is better to spend more time on the immortal techniques.

At least these efforts will turn into something tangible to enhance the hard power of the immortal camp.

Only with their protection can ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment.

This is also the current idea.

There is nothing wrong with this idea. It can even be said that this is the current situation of human beings.

Just like sheep of all sizes, they are kept in captivity by various demons in their own territories. There are good demons and evil demons, but no matter which one, the lives of mortals are mostly not under their control.

After some effort, Chuxue successfully untied the first mortise and tenon, but her daily fatigue gradually increased and she yawned continuously.

Li just looked at her without saying anything, but the girl could feel it.

If she fell asleep here, it would be like giving up automatically, and Li would take her away without hesitation.

She drooped her eyelids, looking a little listless, and once again recalled the days in Mond.

The sadness has long faded away, but the memory is becoming clearer.

The precious memories that belong to her and everyone are still vivid.

But this time, there was no chance that her mission would end.

Let the zombie named "Qiqi" remember himself.

Not to mention who this Qiqi is, just the "zombie" behind him is already a big problem!

In this era, zombies are not the more "funny" characters like in "Mr. Zombie 2: Zombie Family".

Instead, it is a genuine demon. Anyone attacked by it will basically die. All the blood and flesh will be sucked dry. Even if the skin is cut open, no blood will flow out.

It can almost be said that only a skin and bones corpse is left.

Making such a zombie remember yourself is a big problem in itself!

Although his own flesh was indeed very fragrant and soft, and Qilin blood probably had extraordinary effects, it was too much to pay the price of being sucked dry like the first snow...

Chapter 3: Thousand Years Later

Just as Chuxue slowly untied the second mortise and tenon lock, the gap between the internal mechanisms became more clearly visible.

Li was concentrating on watching the movements of her hands, as if he didn't hear the footsteps coming from outside the house.

Until the beautiful lady with black hair took light steps and came behind Li, covered his eyes with her slender hands like white lotus roots, and spoke in a playful and lively voice.

"Guess who I am?"

"I will not allow any demon other than you to come within such a dangerous distance, in the end."

Li's face was calm, he sat upright in his seat, and he didn't turn around to look at her. It was as if he was narrating a trivial matter, but this made the Dust Demon's ears burn red.

Although he knew that the stone had no other intentions, the fact that he could get such recognition from the Rock King, whose heart was as hard as stone, finally made his heart tremble and sprouts break through the ground.

She smiled sweetly, put her arm around his shoulders in a pretentious manner, and asked casually, "Yes, it's me. Really, you didn't even tell me you were here!"

"This is Liyue, which you and I jointly rule. This is not a place for visiting immortals. You need to submit a visiting card in advance."

Li shook his head and gently broke free from Gui Zhong's hand, then looked at the girl who had stopped what she was doing and was sleeping soundly on the table.

He frowned slightly and said, "After all, the mortal world's treatment cannot repair the innate deficiency. What should I do with this narcolepsy?"

"What does it matter? Little Chuxue is still just a child after all. Other fairy beast cubs at this age also eat a lot and sleep a lot. It would be great if she could grow up without any worries."

Although Gui Zhong was somewhat dissatisfied with Li's distant behavior, he was still quite satisfied when mentioning his "daughter".

She sat beside the girl, gently touching her tender cheek with her green fingers, and looked at her eyelashes that were trembling slightly like butterfly wings, and suddenly giggled.

"After all, the war between us and other demon gods is not so critical that we need to send children to the battlefield, right?"

"That being said, she was born different and she signed a contract with us. If we don't carve her carefully, wouldn't it be a waste of a rough gem?"

Li was very optimistic about this girl who was carrying a "fate". After reaching his level, he could clearly sense that she was carrying something "indescribable, but like fate".

If an ordinary demon got her, he would probably devour her on the spot and refine that mysterious power.

But people like him, or the demon god Poseidon, who are almost at the top of the world, need to look further ahead.

We must know that there are laws of nature in this world, and neither mortals nor demons or gods may overstep their boundaries.

Those who can carry such a destiny star are destined to bring new changes to this land full of pain and nightmares.

He really wanted to see how that turn of events would turn out.

"That should be her decision, right? Didn't we agree at the time that if she didn't have this ambition, she should be allowed to live among the mortals?"

Hearing such optimistic and naive words, Li had no choice but to explain the pros and cons.

"…Even if we cancel the contract and set her free, it would only harm her life for nothing.

Let me ask you, how many disasters have Guiliyuan suffered from the tidal wave since then, and how many have increased year by year since she arrived?"

When asked about this, Gui Zhong's expression darkened a little, but he still answered truthfully.

"There are a total of 1,622 cases, with an increase of more than 120 cases each year."

"Then you should know that the demon in the sea is causing trouble because of her?"

This question is ultimately unanswerable, but I think it is too paranoid.

It is too unfair and hard to refute to blame a young girl for the suffering brought by the outside world.

Although he is not as powerful as the Rock King, he is still able to raise sand for thousands of miles and cover the sky and the sun.

She could also vaguely feel the girl's attraction to the demon, just like a plate of delicious food placed in front of a hungry man.

If Chuxue were allowed to go out like this, she would probably end up being a meal for other demons within two days.

However, if she were to leave Guiliyuan, how could she easily give up the love she had for her mother for seven years?

Perhaps noticing Gui Zhong's hesitation, Li shifted his gaze back to the girl.

Throw out the bombshell that this line is really used to convince the other party.

"——A few days ago, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng told me that she had brought a disciple into the immortal sect in the mortal world."

"Oh? Will the Immortal Xiaoyao ever show favor to mortals one day?"

"No." Li shook his head and said, "This disciple is a human-immortal hybrid, but he has not yet transformed and is still a young beast. His head is like a sheep, his body is as wide as a ball, and he has unicorn horns."

"Eh? Is she also a fairy beast Qilin? Wait, how old is she?"

"Master Liuyun Jiefeng deduced from her bone age that she is similar to Chuxue, and they also have some similarities in appearance.

If it goes as expected, it is probably her sister who was sent to the mortal world."

"...I see, the child finally returned to the immortal path."

Guizhong thought for a moment and then asked.

"Do you want me to send her to Master Liuyunjiefeng so that she can train her together, so that these two poor children can meet as sisters?"

"That's true. But I think it might be better to let her go to "Yi Xiao Dao Tian Zhen Jun" or "Li Shui Die Shan Zhen Jun" to study the immortal way first."

The former is a deer-shaped immortal who has absorbed the essence of his rock power. He has a gentle and steady temperament and is a rare and close relative among the immortals.

He would certainly not hold a grudge against the girl because of her mixed race. Instead, he would teach her carefully.

However, the wars between demons are raging one after another, and "Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun", who cares about the common people, will inevitably fight on the front line and will find it difficult to take care of the girl.

The latter had a friendship with True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng and was the immortal beast that had followed him in the past.

Based on his understanding of Master Liuyun Jiefeng, if he personally taught the immortal methods and principles of immortal cultivation, it would ensure to the greatest extent that the girl would not be driven out of the mountain gate due to sleepiness or laziness after entering Master Liuyun Jiefeng's sect.

Even the Rock King did not use strong pressure to intimidate all the immortals under his seat. That was a method for the Yakshas, ​​and most of the immortals had their own character, except for "Xiaoyue Zhuyang Zhenjun" and "Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun" who were his disciples and could be regarded as his subordinates.

For example, some foreign immortals followed me, but that was only to seek protection from a certain force in troubled times so that they could concentrate on their practice.

The contracts signed by these immortals are more like "cooperation" in nature and need to be respected, so as to gain the sincere help of the immortals under their command.

Of course, he could directly take Chuxue to Master Liuyun Jiefeng to learn magic. The other party would naturally give him face and accept the girl.

But in this era, the act of accepting an apprentice is of great significance. Apprentices need to respect their masters as they respect their parents and provide for their old age. And the master must teach his apprentice everything he knows and teach him the skills to survive.

If one accepts a disciple but does not know how to teach him, which makes one laugh and humiliates the dignity of the immortal, then for most immortals, it is better for them to send the disciple back early.

This is really hard to accept for the immortals who care about their reputation. Especially since this girl has a very special identity...

Li must ensure that Chuxue can follow the path he has planned correctly.

That's right, he had already planned out what she should do in the next hundred years. As long as she walked steadily on this path, within a thousand years, she would become the most reliable half-immortal under his command and usher in another thousand years of peace for Liyue.

Chapter 4: Become a disciple of Master Liuyunjiefeng

——A dream that rises and falls.

Chuxue had experienced this feeling many times. Every time she slept deeper, she could feel something calling her from the other side of the ocean.

It was a sad whale song, as if it was singing for its family stranded on the beach.

More importantly, in the dark... as if it was a revelation from heaven, she always felt that there was something attracting her.

However, the dream would disappear on its own every time this happened.

Then, open your eyes.

It was already dark outside and everything was very quiet. Almost no one would go out at night in this day and age.

There are no rich entertainment options, and most people work from sunrise to sunset.

Hatsuyuki tilted her head cutely, looking at the stone lock on the table that had not yet been unlocked. She didn't know when her adoptive father left, but -

"Ah, you're finally awake. Did you sleep well? I saw you were sleeping soundly, as if you were dreaming, and I didn't want to wake you up!"

The one chirping like a bird and talking to her all the time was here.

Although she is the Demon of Dust, she is more human than anyone she has ever met. It is hard to imagine why an inhuman demon could have such delicate and soft emotions.

"...Yeah." Chuxue changed her lying position, stretched her waist slightly, and looked lazy: "Didn't your foster father stay with you for dinner?"

After she said that, Gui Zhong immediately looked miserable and muttered.
