The villain's daily corpse collection

Just like in Wangwei's memory, 朏朏 is a clear and stupid spirit beast.

The gray-white feathers glowed with a miraculous luster in the mountain where the spiritual energy was abundant. The round dark pupils flashed a clean and harmless light. A circle of long hair similar to a beard was wrapped around the neck, fluttering in the air like blooming petals. The thick mane on the back also looked fluffy and soft when looked closely. Only the tail was pure white without impurities.

Although both were furry, its temperament was completely different from Chaos. Anyone standing there could tell at first glance which one was the kind-hearted beast and which one was the vicious beast.

In a short time, Huo Feng had become familiar with it. He took out the green wild fruit that he had picked at some unknown time from his clothes and held it in front of the giant beast. The beast's eyes immediately focused on it, and its big, blinking eyes instantly turned into eyes.

Huo Feng threw a handful of wild fruits into the air, and Xiaoxiao jumped lightly and caught them all with an "Ah Wu" sound. While it was chewing and tasting, Huo Feng buried his hand in its gray and white feathers, gently stroking its soft mane.

朏朏 made sounds that were inconsistent with its huge size, "Gurgle gurgle... Aoao woooo..." It seemed to be in a very happy mood. Then it began to stretch, shake its mane, and gently use its head to arch Huo Feng's palm.

The man and the beast got along very well, staring at each other in silence.

Ever since he came out of that illusion, Wang Wei felt that he had been affected by too many uncontrollable influences, and that abyss-like past followed him like a shadow.

She thought that she could settle the matter after taking revenge herself, but now, as Huo Feng said, she was still upset. She felt as if she had never left that dark room, and the sound of dripping blood always lingered in her ears.

Because all those who knew about it died, she was the only one left standing. Outsiders who didn't know about it liked to use this to attack her. She didn't care much at first, but after hearing it so many times, even she herself began to believe it.

She is just a madwoman with malicious intent to kill an entire family.

Wang Wei thought, Huo Feng has dreamed about her past so many times, and he was extremely painful every time he woke up. Could it be that he could empathize with her to some extent? He... maybe he could understand her feelings?

朏朏 suddenly approached her, raised the softest pad of its foot, and gently touched Wang Wei's face. As a result, a strand of hardened feathers hooked her mask. With just one retraction of its claws, the mask was taken away by it. Before she could stop it, it was crushed into powder by its huge body.

Wang Wei was not annoyed. She raised her hand and said lightly, "Good boy." The giant beast obediently knelt on the ground with its front legs and lowered its head for Wang Wei to stroke.

"Master, it seems to like you more!" Huo Feng stood aside with a bright smile. Wang Wei casually replied: "Of course, I am..." She realized that she almost let the cat out of the bag. The demon god governs the demon clan, which is known to all in the heavens.

"But what?"

"I am a supreme god. It must feel that my aura is particularly familiar to it."

Huo Feng nodded in agreement: "It is Master's divine aura that makes the spirit beast willing to submit."

Wang Wei used his slender hands to gently comb the long fur of 朏朏, his expression lost in memories: "A long time ago, I secretly went down to the mortal world and traveled for a long time in the Great Wilderness, the land of the demon race. Back then, I saw a 朏朏 like this one. Its fur color was slightly different from this one, and its body seemed to be more agile... Maybe it felt the sadness in my heart, so it followed me all the way and never left me. But at that time, I thought it was too stupid and only cared about pleasing me, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"What then?"

"Later, I drove it away, very far away, and didn't let it get close to me. 朏朏's ability is to make people happy and relieve their worries. Maybe because I am a god, I was not affected at all, but I was still very sad. One night, I woke up from the cave where I was resting and found that I was being stared at by a 3,000-year-old Taotie. I was not as powerful as I am now, and I was no match for Taotie. But I didn't expect that the 朏朏 that I drove away would come out to help me... It was torn to pieces by Taotie."

She sighed, "It's just a little piece of trash, how can it possibly be a match for Taotie."

Huo Feng had already guessed the ending, but hearing it with his own ears made him even more touched. He let out a long sigh, and the 朏朏 beside him let out two mournful cries, as if mourning for its own kind.

Huo Feng gently placed his hand on Wang Wei's shoulder and said, "Then why is Master so sad?"

Wang Wei was stunned. She didn't expect to be asked this question. After a long silence, she slowly said, "I am not happy in the heaven. I am not in control of my birth and my upbringing, but I am able to live. So I once sneaked down to the mortal world to see if I could be happier somewhere else. But it turned out that the Great Wilderness of the Demon Race was the same, with the same troubles, chaos, and noise."

朏朏 stretched out her claws to reach her again, and Wangwei suddenly realized that she was being touched on the head by a spirit beast.

It... maybe it felt the sadness in her heart, and thought, the spirit of the 朏朏 can solve the sorrows of all living beings, is it also useful for her as a god? Is it because she has no divine body now, so she can feel it.

"Huo Feng." Wang Wei called his name softly.

"Master, what do you want me to do?" Huo Feng asked with a smile.

"You have always been curious about me, haven't you? Then I will allow you to ask today. Although I cannot guarantee an answer, the answer must be the truth."

She was indeed not good at expressing her inner thoughts. She had been through so much that she didn't know where to start.

Huo Feng's eyes were filled with clear light, and his expression was slightly moved: "Master, are you finally going to tell me about you? I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Don't expect it... it's not fun, and it might be very different than you think."

"Isn't this better?" Huo Feng seemed to be in high spirits, and took over her depressed mood. "Master and I have been together for some time. Since the day we met, we have rarely been apart. Even so, I know very little about Master... Now that Master is willing to tell me, does that mean that Master is willing to trust me?"

"Do I usually distrust you so much?" Wang Wei smiled faintly.

"Master has kept some secrets from me, I understand. Everyone has secrets. If Master doesn't want to tell me, I won't ask."

"You can ask any questions today."

Wang Wei sat on the ground, and Huo Feng sat opposite her. 朏朏 quickly put her tail under the two of them, then lay quietly beside them, seeming to be very curious as well.

Huo Feng looked up at the sky and thought. There were so many questions that he didn't know what to ask.

"I've always wanted to ask, is Master the Water Virtue God of the Gods? Since I arrived in the heavens, I've heard that this God is secretive and powerful, but never interferes with anything in the four realms. He is aloof and extraordinary. The statue of the God in the Qiling Temple doesn't have a specific carving, so..."

"I'm not the Water God. Sichen is an old acquaintance. His personality has nothing to do with the words you mentioned. It's not that he doesn't want to manage, it's that he simply can't manage because he doesn't have that much ability."

Wang Wei thought to himself, he had been imprisoned in Chenzhongtian Fire Prison for thousands of years, so he was an "old acquaintance".

"Then why doesn't he show up? The world has been short of water for a long time, and all people in the world need water."

"Are you here to ask me questions, or are you more curious about the identity of the Water God?"

"No, no," Huo Feng waved his hands quickly, "Then let me ask Master... Master, what do you like the most? What do you want to do the most?"

Wang Wei chuckled: "Actually, I don't have any special preferences. I think it should be like this for all gods born in heaven. However, I have something special I want to do. Putting aside the search for the artifact now, what I want most is to leave this world."

"Ah?" Huo Feng was a little confused, "Leave this world? What do you mean?"

"It's not death, but the beginning of a new life, going to a place beyond the four realms."

This was the first time Wang Wei told others about this matter. It was a secret buried deep in her heart that she didn't want to tell anyone else. It was also the source of her fall from grace and loss of everything.

"Beyond these four realms, there are other places? Is it the heaven beyond heaven?"

"You can understand it this way. I call it the realm beyond the sky." Wang Wei curved his eyebrows. "I also discovered it by chance. It turns out that this universe is so vast and boundless. Then why should I be trapped here and stop here? Since it exists, I want to explore it - regardless of gains and losses, no matter the outcome."

This matter sounds as grand as the stars and the bright moon, and the world beyond the nine heavens seems to be like a magnificent painting slowly unfolding before your eyes. This also aroused Huo Feng's interest, "Then Master, can you find a way to get here?"

"I found it, but I couldn't go because someone stopped me. I don't know if the method was correct... Anyway, I failed." Wang Wei's face was filled with regret.

"It's okay! If Master wants to look for this place again in the future, you might as well take your disciple with you. I'm also very curious about what kind of place it is. I hope it is a fairyland, a paradise that can purify all the filth and troubles in this world. After we find it, all of us can go there to live... Of course, you will go too." He raised his hand and gently stroked the fluffy beard of朏朏.

Wang Wei stared at Huo Feng, looking at him carefully. Huo Feng's eyes were as bright as a mirror, and when he looked at her, her figure was clearly reflected. His eyes were sincere and ardent, and in addition to his full trust in her, Wang Wei also read something else.

Someone once looked at her like this.

She did not avoid the question and also looked back: "I didn't expect that we have such similar interests. I have never told outsiders much about this matter, because even if I did, they would think I was crazy."

"Master is unique and has his own desires, so how can he be crazy? I have also thought about this: is God the ultimate in heaven and earth? Is there another God above God?" Huo Feng raised the doubts he had had for many years.

"Of course there is, that is the way of heaven. All gods must go through divine tribulation. Even if they are born as gods, they still need to go through the baptism of divine tribulation before they can be considered among the gods. The way of heaven is unpredictable, and divine tribulation is hard to predict. We are not clear about everything either."

Speaking of this, Wang Wei knew it very well. These words could not be heard in Tiancao. Huo Feng nodded frequently after hearing them, and he admired his master even more in his heart.

"It's almost time to rest," Wang Wei stood up and waved his wrinkled sleeves, "They should have left by now. Even if they haven't left, they will have gotten lost in the tunnel."

"I dare to ask one last question."

"You ask."

"Is the Master married?"

“Pfft——” Wang Wei laughed out loud, “What kind of question is that? Marriage between gods is almost non-existent unless it is an alliance. I can tell at a glance that you know very little about the gods in heaven. Marriage is unique to the human race and is for reproduction. The gods have a long lifespan and do not have many desires. This thing is essentially meaningless to the gods themselves.”

Huo Feng was somewhat puzzled: "Then why are there so many celestial beings living in the heaven? Those celestial beings are the sons and daughters of gods, the descendants of the gods, right?"

"There are only two meanings for gods to reproduce. The first is that the sons and daughters of gods help them, and the second is that they are crazy. The offspring of gods need both parents to contribute half of their divine power, and then condense the divine power into crystals. In the future, they will have to take good care of the child for many years before they can know what kind of creature they have given birth to."

"Ah?" The answer was again beyond Huo Feng's expectations.

"The descendants of gods are not necessarily gods. They could be humans, monsters, or half-human and half-monster. This is one of the reasons why there are so few gods in heaven. Most of the others have ascended from the lower realms, just like you."

Huo Feng seemed to be getting to know the heaven and the gods for the first time. He had never cared about these before. He only cared about the tasks assigned by the God Chonghua - the wishes of the mortal world and Chen Zhongtian's garden.

"In that case, does Master have someone you love?" he asked cautiously.

"My heart is not made of stone, nor is it made of mats. Since I have something to ask for, I will not lean towards anything else." Wang Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, staring straight into Huo Feng's slightly nervous eyes, "But, water dripping wears away stone, and moisture moistens grass. Who knows."

Huo Feng wanted to say something, but was silenced by the man's index finger. At this moment, he also heard footsteps approaching.

"This cave is really big. Have you two seniors seen any traces on the rock walls along the way? It seems like someone made marks in advance." An Wanshan spoke first.

"It's so obvious, do I need to tell you? I've seen it a long time ago." Fei Lan replied indifferently.

Yu Xuanzi turned around and was about to leave: "There's nothing special about this cave, let's go."

"Wait." Fei Lan said, "There is an open area ahead. This is the deepest part of the cave. There may be treasures that can protect the mountain."

The three of them just followed the path taken by the master and the apprentice. Although they didn't pay much attention to the traces the first time, after taking countless forks in the road, they finally found the correct signpost and reached the deepest part of the cave.

"Is this the guardian beast of the mountain?" An Wanshan looked towards the towering stone platform. The giant beast with gray and white feathers was facing away from the three people.

Fei Lan was about to step forward but was stopped by Yu Xuanzi.

"Be careful, confirm what it is first, and then make the next plan." Yu Xuanzi reminded cautiously.

"Okay, senior." An Wanshan did as she was told carefully. Before coming here, she was familiar with the Compendium of Spiritual Plants and the List of Exotic Beasts. As long as it was within the scope, she should be able to recognize it.

Feilan glanced at the two of them, but remained silent in the end.

The clan elders were only slightly more skilled than the ordinary people outside, and they were not people who had experienced the world. However, Fei Lan did not seem satisfied. After An Wanshan confirmed that the spirit beast was 朏朏, he immediately took out the magic weapon he brought, the rope net.

"Elder, what are you doing?"

"I don't understand this, so of course we have to capture this monster. Spiritual beasts are all treasures, whether it's their fur or their flesh and blood."

Fei Lan rushed forward regardless of anything, as if he was possessed.
