The Villain Raising Cubs[Transmigration Book]
Chapter 31 Magical Nature
Ling Yuan hugged Shizun tightly, and whispered in his ear, "Master, I know who 'they' are."
"them"?
Meng Yijue looked at Lingyuan, "What happened?"
Ling Yuan said slowly: "I ate the ghost miasma, and obtained their memories. The ghost miasma, horned leopard, and those monsters who invaded the sect all came to me. These monsters are the sworn enemies of the water demon clan. , to kill me!"
Shui Lingyuan's eyes were blurred, as if she was immersed in boundless memories, and murmured: "The Nether tribe who wiped out the entire water demon clan joined hands with the fierce beasts... I saw their hiding place, which is in the The border of the Demon Realm is only a hundred miles away from the Haoyue Sect..."
As he spoke, he turned around in a daze, and staggered towards the direction where the demon invaded.
"Lingyuan, you have no energy, stop now!"
Meng Yijue chased after him in a few steps.As soon as his hands were on his shoulders, before he exerted any force, the young man's body weakened, and he fell silently into his arms without any movement.
Looking at the boy who had fallen asleep in his arms, Meng Yijue sighed softly.
It seemed that Ling Yuan had exhausted all his strength long ago, and once the chaos caused by the ghost miasma subsided, he had reached his limit.
"Uncle Meng."
After Yun Muting initially treated her injuries, she walked over with Qing Xi's support.
When Meng Yijue saw her bandaged and fixed left arm, guilt immediately surged in her heart, but the girl just said lightly: "It's just a minor injury, uncle, don't worry."
Qingyang also said: "Senior Sister Yun's injury is not too serious. When I go back, I will ask the fairy doctor to get some plaster and apply it for a few days." He walked quickly to the master and took it from his shoulder. Leaving Shui Lingyuan, "Master, let me carry my junior brother on my back."
Meng Yijue closed his eyes.After all the tossing just now, his physical strength has also reached its limit, so he put the unconscious Shui Lingyuan on Qingyang's back.
But at this moment, a faint light was emitted from the young man's body, and his body shrank smaller and smaller, unexpectedly returning to its original shape unconsciously.
The water dumplings are not so round and become a little dry.
Qingyang rubbed its body a few times, then reached out to reach under its belly, showing surprise.
"Junior brother's body is so hot, it seems to have a fever..."
"What!" Meng Yijue was stunned, and then guessed that the fever of the dumpling should be caused by eating the ghost miasma.He quickly let his consciousness enter the silver bracelet system, looking for antipyretics suitable for monsters.
However, the system told him that this was a side effect of the monster devouring the magic energy. Just like Yan Ran's time, the illness needed to be overcome by Shui Tuanzi himself.
"You can only overcome it by yourself!"
Meng Yijue had no choice but to withdraw from the silver bracelet.He hugged the dumpling on his lap and took out the water jug at his waist to feed it.
But Tuanzi lost consciousness and couldn't open his mouth by himself.
Qingyang said: "Let me try." He pressed his fingertips on its two cheeks, one left and one right, and squeezed the water ball's mouth open.
"Master, you can pour water now."
Meng Yijue nodded and poured water into the Tuanzi's squeezed open mouth.Qingyang also rubbed the bulging cheeks on both sides of the dumpling a few times to help it swallow.
When Meng Yijue was feeding the water, Yun Muting stood silently behind him, without saying a word, staring coldly at the dumpling in the uncle's arms.
She is the only person who saw Shui Lingyuan's berserk state today except Meng Yijue.Seeing with her own eyes that the young water demon lost his mind and attacked her in a rage, and now retreated into the appearance of a harmless cub, her eyes darkened even more.
Deeply feeling the deadly threat from him, Yun Muting clenched her fists, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"Sister..."
Seeing the look in her eyes, Qing Xi was a little frightened, and couldn't help calling softly.
The two looked at each other, and Yun Muting asked in a low voice: "Qing Xi, what is the origin of this water monster... Could it be that he attracted the demons and miasmas that invaded the sect today? "
Qing Xi was startled, a trace of confusion floated in her eyes.
Yun Muting stared at Shui Tuanzi, then turned to Qing Xi, his eyes flickering: "Qing Xi, tell me, what kind of creature is Shui Ling Yuan...?"
"...Sister, what does this mean?"
"I was thinking," Yun Muting said slowly, "Shui Lingyuan, although he has a human-like appearance, is he really our kind?"
Hearing her words, Gu Qingxi immediately panicked. She shook her head and stammered: "Senior sister, junior brother, he just lost his mind. He is not like this on weekdays. He is gentle and polite. He treats us and the master well. Very good!" As he spoke, he suddenly lacked confidence.
Indeed, even she didn't expect that the usually calm and lovely junior brother would hit senior sister Yun so hard.
Looking at Yun Muting's broken left arm, Qing Xi felt a dull pain in her heart, she pursed her lips and stopped making a sound.
Yun Muting stared at Shui Tuanzi quietly, her eyes darkened.
"That kind of creature...monster, it's too dangerous for Uncle Meng to keep him by his side."
If the water demon did not wake up in time today, it is still unknown what will happen.
Yun Muting recalled the scenes when he confronted him, and always felt very strange in his heart.
I have long heard that monsters and ferocious beasts in the Demon Realm like to devour each other, but today I saw with my own eyes that the water monster has no taboos, and even eats such dirty things as ghost miasmas. Completely changed, leaving only deep fear.
They stayed silent for a while, and suddenly one after another fireworks rose in the distant sky.
"It's reinforcements!" Seeing the green fireworks, Meng Yijue stood up immediately, "Everyone follow me and leave!"
He led several children and quickly ran to the exit of the examination room.
As soon as he arrived, he saw a few cultivators rushing in from outside with magic tools.
As soon as the leader saw them coming out of the examination room, he shouted at them: "The high-level officials of the Zongmen have already known the situation in the examination room, and they are leading people to come here! You all go to the entrance to the east of the venue to gather!"
Meng Yijue nodded: "Got it!"
As the person said, after discovering the intruders in the examination room, the upper echelons of the sect quickly responded and made arrangements. A large number of cultivators rushed into the examination room under the leadership of the three Zongmen masters, and launched an attack on the fierce beasts and monsters in the examination room. There was a strong encirclement and suppression.
Seeing the sect's quick response, the invaders retreated one after another knowing that there was no hope for a long battle.Most of them were killed, wounded or captured, only a small number fled outwards.
After the previous chaos, many disciples and invigilators in the examination room were injured.
The real Zichen who presided over the exam called the other uninjured people outside the exam room.The chief examiner saw that there were only a dozen or so candidates still standing, and he knew that the second round of re-examination was completely messed up.
Some candidates who have already obtained the arrow are very dissatisfied, and their results will be invalidated, so they cannot accept it.They gathered around Master Zichen, protesting with one voice and another.
The chief examiner couldn't come up with any countermeasures for a while, so he had no choice but to reassure everyone: "The sect is currently facing a sudden crisis, and a large number of monsters have invaded the examination room. Candidates, please go back to rest first. As for matters related to the exam, the sect will discuss it in a meeting. After that, another notice!"
Meng Yijue and his disciples were exhausted at this time, and they no longer cared about the exam.After the chief examiner ordered the disbandment, the group stopped staying and walked away quickly.
Silent all the way.
At the fork in the road under Zifeng Mountain, Yun Muting was about to part ways and go back to her residence.She looked at Meng Yijue, obviously she had something to say.
Meng Yijue handed the dumplings to the brothers and sisters of the Gu family, telling them to go back to Zhulinyuan to rest first, and then follow her to a secluded place.
Yun Muting was silent for a while.Meng Yijue noticed her expression and became uneasy.
He knew very well the problems he was about to face.
This time the demons invaded the sect to surround and kill Shui Tuanzi, and this turmoil had something to do with Shui Lingyuan.Those disciples and examiners who were attacked for no reason in the examination room were actually implicated by him.
After such a commotion, he didn't know how to face the sect's investigation, and even said... If there were practitioners who were killed or killed in the chaos, would he be able to take responsibility?
Meng Yijue sighed heavily, tormented by deep guilt.
"It's me... I'm sorry."
At this moment, words are so powerless.Meng Yijue clenched his fists in self-blame, he simply didn't know how to face it, how to speak.
"Uncle Meng, you don't have to blame yourself." Yun Muting shook his head lightly, "The Haoyue Sect has been fighting with the Demon Realm all year round, and the invasion of demons must be aimed at the entire sect, and it is these demons who hurt people, it's not their fault you."
Meng Yijue lowered his eyes.
"Uncle Martial, it wasn't you who brought the disaster, you didn't do anything wrong to anyone." Yun Muting emphasized: "Uncle Martial is a member of the Haoyue Sect, the sect has the responsibility to protect you, and it won't blame you."
"But... Shui Lingyuan," Yun Muting took a deep breath, and changed the topic, "He has not taken the unified inner disciple examination of the sect, so he is not considered a formal disciple, but just the private disciple of the uncle."
Meng Yijue suddenly thought of this and nodded.
"Uncle Meng, strictly speaking, Shui Lingyuan is not from the Haoyue Sect. And..."
She stared into his eyes and looked at the pale and haggard man in front of her. She couldn't bear it, but she still made up her mind and said: "I heard from my father that water is cold and cold, and water monsters are the most vicious race among monsters. Because they are too powerful, they are hated by other races in the Demon Realm. They have almost no taboos and can devour everything in the world, even their own kind.
Uncle, I don’t know where you picked up this water monster. Maybe you and Qingxi Qingyang think that the dumpling is cute, and it’s no different from an ordinary child after being transformed, but... humans and demons are born with heaven and earth. The difference is that he is different from us. "
"He is different from us," these words exploded in Meng Yijue's mind, shaking his brains into a daze.
He didn't believe it, but he couldn't figure it out until now.What is the difference between Lingyuan and them? Why did such a good child suddenly become strange?
Such an innocent and lovely little Lingyuan, just a few hours ago, ate a large piece of ghost miasma in front of his face, and turned into a strange monster that he couldn't recognize.
"I've heard that some monks in the sect also tried to raise the original monsters in the Demon Realm, but they all failed without exception. Because those things, even if they have the same appearance as the human race, are very different inside. ..."
Yun Muting's eyes were complicated, "Humans and devils have different paths, Uncle Meng, I know it's not easy for you to raise him to adulthood, and you are very reluctant, but...you can really raise the devil to look like a human, and you can raise his humanity." ."
"If one day he changes and becomes uncontrollable to you. At that time, the uncle will be hurt. Even...you won't be the only one who gets hurt."
He understood what Yun Muting said, but he still felt uncontrollably uncomfortable.
"Thank you for what you said today." Meng Yijue said, "Yun Muting, go back and recover from your injuries. If you need any medicine or anything else, just tell us."
He sent Yun Muting on the way home, then turned around silently, and walked back slowly.
Every word Yun Muting said was like a thorn, piercing deeply into Meng Yijue's heart.
He remembered that Shui Aotian in the original text is indeed a complete demon king, he is decisive in killing and will not let anyone who is not good for him go, and he has been constantly eradicating dissidents and pursuing power all his life.
But there is a reason for that.Having been exterminated since childhood, abused by a vicious master, and excluded by the sect, that child became so vicious and decisive.
But it's different now, Shui Tuanzi is favored by Master, and cared for by senior brothers and sisters.
Although his master is just an ordinary person, he tried his best to give him everything and the best, but why did things turn out like this.
Meng Yijue was upset.After returning to Zhulinyuan, Qingyang had put the water dumpling in the blanket of Master's bedroom to rest.But looking at the cub sleeping peacefully on the bed, Meng Yijue hesitated, and didn't get on the bed immediately and hug it in his arms like before.
He knew that after the previous episode, something had quietly changed between them.
After all, he still couldn't look at Shui Lingyuan as purely as he did in the past. Many things about water demons were beyond his imagination and cognition.
=====
Sleepy and tired, Meng Yijue leaned on the bamboo chair next to the bed and fell asleep for more than an hour as soon as he returned to the room.When he woke up, a new sheet was put on him.
Turning his face away, he saw Shui Lingyuan in human form half kneeling beside the chair.A pair of bright water-colored eyes was approaching, staring at him silently.
"Ling Yuan...?"
The appearance of Shui Lingyuan in front of her has completely changed, shed the childish baby fat, and turned into a thin, tall and handsome boy.The ferocious magic lines on the shoulders and neck have also disappeared, only faint marks remain around the eyes.
Seeing that Master woke up, he opened the food box, took out several dishes full of food from it, and placed one on the table one by one.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice changed from soft and waxy to deep and cold, completely the voice of a young man.
"Master, let's eat something."
Meng Yijue sat up slowly, his eyes fell on Shui Lingyuan.
"Are... are you okay?" He asked, feeling his throat dry.
Shui Lingyuan was silent for a while, and said, "I have already recovered."
The eyes of the master and the apprentice briefly met in the air, and Shui Lingyuan gently avoided the master's gaze.
Meng Yijue's eyes sank, looking at the young man's bloodless lips and pale cheeks.When arranging the plates, Shui Lingyuan's hands trembled slightly, which could not escape his eyes.
Shui Lingyuan didn't say a word, Meng Yijue stopped asking, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
He has been staying in the cold mountain forest for the past few days, and he hasn't eaten anything good.The food in the bowl seemed to come from Qingyang's handiwork, with a combination of meat and vegetables, light and delicious, which made him feel comfortable eating.
When the meal was coming to an end, Meng Yijue suddenly heard a low muffled sound coming from Shui Lingyuan's throat. Although it was only a small movement, he was keenly aware of it.
Looking up, I saw a trace of blood slowly oozing from the corner of Shui Lingyuan's lips.His face was pale, his forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat, and his lips trembled slightly.
"Shui Lingyuan!" Meng Yijue stood up eagerly, and said sharply: "Your injury is not healed at all! You..."
When Ling Yuan lost her mind and attacked Yun Muting before, she hit her hard on the ribs with her palm.Although he got up quickly at that time, it was only because of the disorder of the devil energy that he forgot the pain for a while.Now that he regained consciousness, the sequelae of the internal injury naturally burst out.
But Shui Lingyuan just wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, and shook her head lightly: "Master, don't worry. I have eaten a lot of magic energy today, and I have enough physical strength to recover from my injuries. I will be fine after a night."
"No, Lingyuan, this must be very painful, no matter what, you have to take some medicine, you go to your senior brother Qingyang..."
Ling Yuan shook her head lightly.
"Master, let me suffer this kind of pain. This is the punishment I deserve." Lingyuan said softly, "I can't suppress my demonic nature. Not only did I get out of control and hurt Senior Sister Yun, but also made Master worry about me so much. I must keep this pain firmly in mind to remind myself of the consequences of losing control of my demonic nature."
Meng Yijue didn't know what to say.He stretched out his hand to hold Ling Yuan's fingers, felt the coolness coming from the fingertips, and felt mixed feelings in his heart.
He couldn't help but recall the scene when he first picked up the water dumpling from the cave.At that time, he just thought the cub was cute, and he wanted to raise it, but he really didn't think carefully about the consequences of bringing a water demon into a fairy sect.
And now, he may be slowly suffering the consequences.
Seeing the worried look on Master's face, Shui Lingyuan said: "Master, I will go to Senior Sister Yun to apologize tomorrow."
Meng Yijue nodded, "Well, take my wound medicine here too." He took out a few brand new dog skin plasters from the drawer.
This medicine is very good for treating bone and flesh injuries for both humans and animals.He put the medicine into Ling Yuan's hands, rubbed the broken black hair on his head again, and softened his tone.
"Ling Yuan, can you tell Master about the situation at that time?"
Shui Lingyuan nodded and told the story in detail.
At that time, he led the ghost miasma all the way to the bottom of the valley. Seeing that there was no retreat ahead, the disgusting ghosts behind him rushed up, trying to eat him like a hungry tiger or leopard.
The ghost miasma came too much and too fiercely, and even the magic crystal bone couldn't deter it.
Shui Lingyuan was bitten and torn by countless bloody mouths, and she was about to lose consciousness in the severe pain, but she insisted on holding on, and at the last moment, she awakened a force.
Somewhere near the heart seems to be "opened" suddenly.A new, never felt power is being released.
As if guided by an invisible god, Ling Yuan seized the few strands of ghost miasma closest to her and swallowed them into her body.
After that, it was a steady stream of devouring.
Those dirty and resentful gases filled his abdominal cavity and merged with him.The screams of countless resentful spirits echoed in Shui Lingyuan's mind, which knocked his sanity to pieces.
In the chaos, he only saw the face of the master, but he didn't know what he was doing.
Later, he felt a hand caressing his forehead gently.Reality and fantasy are constantly intertwined, and he seems to have returned to the cub period in a trance. The master hugged him and coaxed him gently, "Duanzi..."
Warmth circulated around him.His sanity gradually recovered, but his energy had bottomed out.When he woke up again, he had shrunk back to the appearance of a dumpling, lying bulging under the blanket.
Turning to one side, I saw Master sitting on the bamboo chair next to his bed, and fell asleep.
Due to devouring a large amount of demonic energy earlier, Ling Yuan quickly transformed into a human form again, and her appearance also grew a lot, from a child to a handsome young man.
The young man put a quilt on the master, then walked out of the room lightly, brought the meal prepared by the senior from the stove, and stayed beside the master, waiting for him to wake up.
"Master, when I lost my mind, there was darkness in front of my eyes, and the only thing I could see clearly was you." Shui Lingyuan said in a muffled voice, "I remember it very clearly. At that time, I only had one thought, which was to hold the teacher by my side. Everything, no matter who it is, will be expelled. Unexpectedly..." He lowered his head, "I accidentally injured my senior sister..."
He clenched his pale, slender fingers.I can't imagine that if he completely lost his sanity at that time, if he couldn't even recognize the master, if he mistakenly pointed the sword at the master's throat, at this time, he might regret his intestines and feel so painful.
Thinking of this, he was afraid for a while, and suddenly stepped forward, and knelt down in front of Meng Yijue with a plop.
"Lingyuan, you are..."
"Master, I made a big mistake, please discipline and punish me!" Shui Lingyuan looked at him intensely, with deep and firm eyes, "If I lose my sanity again, the consequences will be disastrous. Before the next crisis comes, I will try my best to suppress my demon nature, absolutely, absolutely not, let this incident happen again!"
Meng Yijue put his hand on his shoulder.Through the thin clothes, he could feel the young man's body covered with thin muscles.He lowered his head and saw that handsome face that was almost indistinguishable from that of a human race was close at hand...
Shui Lingyuan looked so much like a person, if it wasn't for today's incident, Meng Yijue almost forgot that he was a monster.
Human beings have human nature, and demons have demonic nature, there is nothing wrong with this.
The nature of the water demon is bloodthirsty and devouring, to suppress the demonic nature, is it really possible to do it?If it fails, will more innocent people like Yun Muting suffer...
"I want to be a normal person, and I don't want to hurt everyone." Shui Lingyuan took Meng Yijue's hand from his shoulder, and pressed his palm against his cold cheek.With a low voice, he murmured: "When I was disturbed by the ghost miasma, the only thing I can remember is Master... Master, I am afraid, please help me."
He trembled when he spoke, feeling aggrieved and guilty.Shui Lingyuan has always been steady and sensible, Meng Yijue has rarely seen this pitiful and careful look, let alone refuse it.
This is the cub he picked up and brought up with his own hands. If even he gave up on him, then who else can take him in, raise him, and give him warmth.
Meng Yijue rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. "Lingyuan, you get up first."
Shui Lingyuan said sullenly, "Master, I will never eat indiscriminately again."
Meng Yijue smiled, "Swallowing is one of the main methods of water demon practice, you don't have to give up eating because of choking. Last time you faced Yan rampant, didn't you use this trick to defeat Yan rampant who was stronger than you at that time, and saved the master ?"
He helped Shui Lingyuan to sit on the side of the couch, and patted him comfortingly, "There is no right or wrong move, the key is how to use it. Lingyuan, let's think of a way together, we will be able to suppress the demon nature and use it rationally." Devouring power'."
Shui Lingyuan bit her lower lip, her eyes lit up in the darkness, "Master, as long as you are by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
"Of course Master will always be by your side and stay with you."
Meng Yijue reached out to hug him.
The boy in front of him had a lean and tall body, not much smaller than himself.
The baby fat on the cute face that was once slightly childish also faded, and a sharper outline appeared initially, with handsome eyebrows and eyes.
He sighed secretly, the child grew up so fast, he couldn't wrap him in his arms or hug him like before.And at some point, he will grow taller than himself.
Meng Yijue withdrew his hand, and although he was smiling, a trace of disappointment flashed in his heart for some reason, "Our Lingyuan is already a big child."
But when it retracted to its original shape, the water dumpling was still as small as before, which is amazing.
Shui Lingyuan buried her head on his shoulder, and murmured softly in a lazy low voice: "Master, I'm still far from growing up."
Meng Yijue patted him and said with a smile: "Look at you, you've grown so much taller, you're just a little boy."
Shui Lingyuan felt wronged, "Master, I'm only ten years old!"
"Ten years old?" Meng Yijue couldn't help but laugh when he felt his well-structured body hanging heavily on his body, "A ten-year-old monster is no longer a cub."
"No, I just want to be hugged by Master, and I want to sleep with Master tonight." Shui Lingyuan clung to him and refused to let go, "Master, don't chase me away!"
As if eager to prove that she was still a baby, Shui Lingyuan withdrew a bulging water dumpling in front of Meng Yijue, slipped into his arms as before, turned over and exposed her soft belly to the master, Wagging its tiny tail.
"Goooooooooooo..."
Seeing Tuanzi staring at him with dark eyes, Meng Yijue rubbed its belly helplessly, "Okay, Xiaotuanzi, I really can't do anything to you."
After washing, Meng Yijue was extremely sleepy, and quickly curled up under the blanket and fell asleep.
Shui Tuanzi in his arms opened his eyes with excellent night vision, quietly watching his face.Its eyes wandered in the dark night, carefully tracing the lines of his face and the outline of his figure.
It was attached to his heart as usual, listening to the steady heartbeat in his chest, and smelling the faint aroma of herbs in the soft hair with nostalgia.
Shui Lingyuan thought, he must remember him with all his heart, and remember him firmly.In this way, if one day falls into endless chaos again, at least he can't forget his appearance and won't hurt him.
Thinking like this, he couldn't look away more and more, grasping his breath every minute and every second.
Shui Lingyuan huddled in his embrace, her body, hair and skin were attached to his warmth.
However, the days of being held in the arms of Master like this should not be too long.he thought.
Master, I know that you have been waiting for me to grow up.
But wait a little longer, wait a little longer, Master.One day I will become strong enough, and at that time my embrace will also become your support.
The round body was lightly pressed against the master's cheek, and Shui Lingyuan was sleepless all night.
"them"?
Meng Yijue looked at Lingyuan, "What happened?"
Ling Yuan said slowly: "I ate the ghost miasma, and obtained their memories. The ghost miasma, horned leopard, and those monsters who invaded the sect all came to me. These monsters are the sworn enemies of the water demon clan. , to kill me!"
Shui Lingyuan's eyes were blurred, as if she was immersed in boundless memories, and murmured: "The Nether tribe who wiped out the entire water demon clan joined hands with the fierce beasts... I saw their hiding place, which is in the The border of the Demon Realm is only a hundred miles away from the Haoyue Sect..."
As he spoke, he turned around in a daze, and staggered towards the direction where the demon invaded.
"Lingyuan, you have no energy, stop now!"
Meng Yijue chased after him in a few steps.As soon as his hands were on his shoulders, before he exerted any force, the young man's body weakened, and he fell silently into his arms without any movement.
Looking at the boy who had fallen asleep in his arms, Meng Yijue sighed softly.
It seemed that Ling Yuan had exhausted all his strength long ago, and once the chaos caused by the ghost miasma subsided, he had reached his limit.
"Uncle Meng."
After Yun Muting initially treated her injuries, she walked over with Qing Xi's support.
When Meng Yijue saw her bandaged and fixed left arm, guilt immediately surged in her heart, but the girl just said lightly: "It's just a minor injury, uncle, don't worry."
Qingyang also said: "Senior Sister Yun's injury is not too serious. When I go back, I will ask the fairy doctor to get some plaster and apply it for a few days." He walked quickly to the master and took it from his shoulder. Leaving Shui Lingyuan, "Master, let me carry my junior brother on my back."
Meng Yijue closed his eyes.After all the tossing just now, his physical strength has also reached its limit, so he put the unconscious Shui Lingyuan on Qingyang's back.
But at this moment, a faint light was emitted from the young man's body, and his body shrank smaller and smaller, unexpectedly returning to its original shape unconsciously.
The water dumplings are not so round and become a little dry.
Qingyang rubbed its body a few times, then reached out to reach under its belly, showing surprise.
"Junior brother's body is so hot, it seems to have a fever..."
"What!" Meng Yijue was stunned, and then guessed that the fever of the dumpling should be caused by eating the ghost miasma.He quickly let his consciousness enter the silver bracelet system, looking for antipyretics suitable for monsters.
However, the system told him that this was a side effect of the monster devouring the magic energy. Just like Yan Ran's time, the illness needed to be overcome by Shui Tuanzi himself.
"You can only overcome it by yourself!"
Meng Yijue had no choice but to withdraw from the silver bracelet.He hugged the dumpling on his lap and took out the water jug at his waist to feed it.
But Tuanzi lost consciousness and couldn't open his mouth by himself.
Qingyang said: "Let me try." He pressed his fingertips on its two cheeks, one left and one right, and squeezed the water ball's mouth open.
"Master, you can pour water now."
Meng Yijue nodded and poured water into the Tuanzi's squeezed open mouth.Qingyang also rubbed the bulging cheeks on both sides of the dumpling a few times to help it swallow.
When Meng Yijue was feeding the water, Yun Muting stood silently behind him, without saying a word, staring coldly at the dumpling in the uncle's arms.
She is the only person who saw Shui Lingyuan's berserk state today except Meng Yijue.Seeing with her own eyes that the young water demon lost his mind and attacked her in a rage, and now retreated into the appearance of a harmless cub, her eyes darkened even more.
Deeply feeling the deadly threat from him, Yun Muting clenched her fists, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"Sister..."
Seeing the look in her eyes, Qing Xi was a little frightened, and couldn't help calling softly.
The two looked at each other, and Yun Muting asked in a low voice: "Qing Xi, what is the origin of this water monster... Could it be that he attracted the demons and miasmas that invaded the sect today? "
Qing Xi was startled, a trace of confusion floated in her eyes.
Yun Muting stared at Shui Tuanzi, then turned to Qing Xi, his eyes flickering: "Qing Xi, tell me, what kind of creature is Shui Ling Yuan...?"
"...Sister, what does this mean?"
"I was thinking," Yun Muting said slowly, "Shui Lingyuan, although he has a human-like appearance, is he really our kind?"
Hearing her words, Gu Qingxi immediately panicked. She shook her head and stammered: "Senior sister, junior brother, he just lost his mind. He is not like this on weekdays. He is gentle and polite. He treats us and the master well. Very good!" As he spoke, he suddenly lacked confidence.
Indeed, even she didn't expect that the usually calm and lovely junior brother would hit senior sister Yun so hard.
Looking at Yun Muting's broken left arm, Qing Xi felt a dull pain in her heart, she pursed her lips and stopped making a sound.
Yun Muting stared at Shui Tuanzi quietly, her eyes darkened.
"That kind of creature...monster, it's too dangerous for Uncle Meng to keep him by his side."
If the water demon did not wake up in time today, it is still unknown what will happen.
Yun Muting recalled the scenes when he confronted him, and always felt very strange in his heart.
I have long heard that monsters and ferocious beasts in the Demon Realm like to devour each other, but today I saw with my own eyes that the water monster has no taboos, and even eats such dirty things as ghost miasmas. Completely changed, leaving only deep fear.
They stayed silent for a while, and suddenly one after another fireworks rose in the distant sky.
"It's reinforcements!" Seeing the green fireworks, Meng Yijue stood up immediately, "Everyone follow me and leave!"
He led several children and quickly ran to the exit of the examination room.
As soon as he arrived, he saw a few cultivators rushing in from outside with magic tools.
As soon as the leader saw them coming out of the examination room, he shouted at them: "The high-level officials of the Zongmen have already known the situation in the examination room, and they are leading people to come here! You all go to the entrance to the east of the venue to gather!"
Meng Yijue nodded: "Got it!"
As the person said, after discovering the intruders in the examination room, the upper echelons of the sect quickly responded and made arrangements. A large number of cultivators rushed into the examination room under the leadership of the three Zongmen masters, and launched an attack on the fierce beasts and monsters in the examination room. There was a strong encirclement and suppression.
Seeing the sect's quick response, the invaders retreated one after another knowing that there was no hope for a long battle.Most of them were killed, wounded or captured, only a small number fled outwards.
After the previous chaos, many disciples and invigilators in the examination room were injured.
The real Zichen who presided over the exam called the other uninjured people outside the exam room.The chief examiner saw that there were only a dozen or so candidates still standing, and he knew that the second round of re-examination was completely messed up.
Some candidates who have already obtained the arrow are very dissatisfied, and their results will be invalidated, so they cannot accept it.They gathered around Master Zichen, protesting with one voice and another.
The chief examiner couldn't come up with any countermeasures for a while, so he had no choice but to reassure everyone: "The sect is currently facing a sudden crisis, and a large number of monsters have invaded the examination room. Candidates, please go back to rest first. As for matters related to the exam, the sect will discuss it in a meeting. After that, another notice!"
Meng Yijue and his disciples were exhausted at this time, and they no longer cared about the exam.After the chief examiner ordered the disbandment, the group stopped staying and walked away quickly.
Silent all the way.
At the fork in the road under Zifeng Mountain, Yun Muting was about to part ways and go back to her residence.She looked at Meng Yijue, obviously she had something to say.
Meng Yijue handed the dumplings to the brothers and sisters of the Gu family, telling them to go back to Zhulinyuan to rest first, and then follow her to a secluded place.
Yun Muting was silent for a while.Meng Yijue noticed her expression and became uneasy.
He knew very well the problems he was about to face.
This time the demons invaded the sect to surround and kill Shui Tuanzi, and this turmoil had something to do with Shui Lingyuan.Those disciples and examiners who were attacked for no reason in the examination room were actually implicated by him.
After such a commotion, he didn't know how to face the sect's investigation, and even said... If there were practitioners who were killed or killed in the chaos, would he be able to take responsibility?
Meng Yijue sighed heavily, tormented by deep guilt.
"It's me... I'm sorry."
At this moment, words are so powerless.Meng Yijue clenched his fists in self-blame, he simply didn't know how to face it, how to speak.
"Uncle Meng, you don't have to blame yourself." Yun Muting shook his head lightly, "The Haoyue Sect has been fighting with the Demon Realm all year round, and the invasion of demons must be aimed at the entire sect, and it is these demons who hurt people, it's not their fault you."
Meng Yijue lowered his eyes.
"Uncle Martial, it wasn't you who brought the disaster, you didn't do anything wrong to anyone." Yun Muting emphasized: "Uncle Martial is a member of the Haoyue Sect, the sect has the responsibility to protect you, and it won't blame you."
"But... Shui Lingyuan," Yun Muting took a deep breath, and changed the topic, "He has not taken the unified inner disciple examination of the sect, so he is not considered a formal disciple, but just the private disciple of the uncle."
Meng Yijue suddenly thought of this and nodded.
"Uncle Meng, strictly speaking, Shui Lingyuan is not from the Haoyue Sect. And..."
She stared into his eyes and looked at the pale and haggard man in front of her. She couldn't bear it, but she still made up her mind and said: "I heard from my father that water is cold and cold, and water monsters are the most vicious race among monsters. Because they are too powerful, they are hated by other races in the Demon Realm. They have almost no taboos and can devour everything in the world, even their own kind.
Uncle, I don’t know where you picked up this water monster. Maybe you and Qingxi Qingyang think that the dumpling is cute, and it’s no different from an ordinary child after being transformed, but... humans and demons are born with heaven and earth. The difference is that he is different from us. "
"He is different from us," these words exploded in Meng Yijue's mind, shaking his brains into a daze.
He didn't believe it, but he couldn't figure it out until now.What is the difference between Lingyuan and them? Why did such a good child suddenly become strange?
Such an innocent and lovely little Lingyuan, just a few hours ago, ate a large piece of ghost miasma in front of his face, and turned into a strange monster that he couldn't recognize.
"I've heard that some monks in the sect also tried to raise the original monsters in the Demon Realm, but they all failed without exception. Because those things, even if they have the same appearance as the human race, are very different inside. ..."
Yun Muting's eyes were complicated, "Humans and devils have different paths, Uncle Meng, I know it's not easy for you to raise him to adulthood, and you are very reluctant, but...you can really raise the devil to look like a human, and you can raise his humanity." ."
"If one day he changes and becomes uncontrollable to you. At that time, the uncle will be hurt. Even...you won't be the only one who gets hurt."
He understood what Yun Muting said, but he still felt uncontrollably uncomfortable.
"Thank you for what you said today." Meng Yijue said, "Yun Muting, go back and recover from your injuries. If you need any medicine or anything else, just tell us."
He sent Yun Muting on the way home, then turned around silently, and walked back slowly.
Every word Yun Muting said was like a thorn, piercing deeply into Meng Yijue's heart.
He remembered that Shui Aotian in the original text is indeed a complete demon king, he is decisive in killing and will not let anyone who is not good for him go, and he has been constantly eradicating dissidents and pursuing power all his life.
But there is a reason for that.Having been exterminated since childhood, abused by a vicious master, and excluded by the sect, that child became so vicious and decisive.
But it's different now, Shui Tuanzi is favored by Master, and cared for by senior brothers and sisters.
Although his master is just an ordinary person, he tried his best to give him everything and the best, but why did things turn out like this.
Meng Yijue was upset.After returning to Zhulinyuan, Qingyang had put the water dumpling in the blanket of Master's bedroom to rest.But looking at the cub sleeping peacefully on the bed, Meng Yijue hesitated, and didn't get on the bed immediately and hug it in his arms like before.
He knew that after the previous episode, something had quietly changed between them.
After all, he still couldn't look at Shui Lingyuan as purely as he did in the past. Many things about water demons were beyond his imagination and cognition.
=====
Sleepy and tired, Meng Yijue leaned on the bamboo chair next to the bed and fell asleep for more than an hour as soon as he returned to the room.When he woke up, a new sheet was put on him.
Turning his face away, he saw Shui Lingyuan in human form half kneeling beside the chair.A pair of bright water-colored eyes was approaching, staring at him silently.
"Ling Yuan...?"
The appearance of Shui Lingyuan in front of her has completely changed, shed the childish baby fat, and turned into a thin, tall and handsome boy.The ferocious magic lines on the shoulders and neck have also disappeared, only faint marks remain around the eyes.
Seeing that Master woke up, he opened the food box, took out several dishes full of food from it, and placed one on the table one by one.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice changed from soft and waxy to deep and cold, completely the voice of a young man.
"Master, let's eat something."
Meng Yijue sat up slowly, his eyes fell on Shui Lingyuan.
"Are... are you okay?" He asked, feeling his throat dry.
Shui Lingyuan was silent for a while, and said, "I have already recovered."
The eyes of the master and the apprentice briefly met in the air, and Shui Lingyuan gently avoided the master's gaze.
Meng Yijue's eyes sank, looking at the young man's bloodless lips and pale cheeks.When arranging the plates, Shui Lingyuan's hands trembled slightly, which could not escape his eyes.
Shui Lingyuan didn't say a word, Meng Yijue stopped asking, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
He has been staying in the cold mountain forest for the past few days, and he hasn't eaten anything good.The food in the bowl seemed to come from Qingyang's handiwork, with a combination of meat and vegetables, light and delicious, which made him feel comfortable eating.
When the meal was coming to an end, Meng Yijue suddenly heard a low muffled sound coming from Shui Lingyuan's throat. Although it was only a small movement, he was keenly aware of it.
Looking up, I saw a trace of blood slowly oozing from the corner of Shui Lingyuan's lips.His face was pale, his forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat, and his lips trembled slightly.
"Shui Lingyuan!" Meng Yijue stood up eagerly, and said sharply: "Your injury is not healed at all! You..."
When Ling Yuan lost her mind and attacked Yun Muting before, she hit her hard on the ribs with her palm.Although he got up quickly at that time, it was only because of the disorder of the devil energy that he forgot the pain for a while.Now that he regained consciousness, the sequelae of the internal injury naturally burst out.
But Shui Lingyuan just wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, and shook her head lightly: "Master, don't worry. I have eaten a lot of magic energy today, and I have enough physical strength to recover from my injuries. I will be fine after a night."
"No, Lingyuan, this must be very painful, no matter what, you have to take some medicine, you go to your senior brother Qingyang..."
Ling Yuan shook her head lightly.
"Master, let me suffer this kind of pain. This is the punishment I deserve." Lingyuan said softly, "I can't suppress my demonic nature. Not only did I get out of control and hurt Senior Sister Yun, but also made Master worry about me so much. I must keep this pain firmly in mind to remind myself of the consequences of losing control of my demonic nature."
Meng Yijue didn't know what to say.He stretched out his hand to hold Ling Yuan's fingers, felt the coolness coming from the fingertips, and felt mixed feelings in his heart.
He couldn't help but recall the scene when he first picked up the water dumpling from the cave.At that time, he just thought the cub was cute, and he wanted to raise it, but he really didn't think carefully about the consequences of bringing a water demon into a fairy sect.
And now, he may be slowly suffering the consequences.
Seeing the worried look on Master's face, Shui Lingyuan said: "Master, I will go to Senior Sister Yun to apologize tomorrow."
Meng Yijue nodded, "Well, take my wound medicine here too." He took out a few brand new dog skin plasters from the drawer.
This medicine is very good for treating bone and flesh injuries for both humans and animals.He put the medicine into Ling Yuan's hands, rubbed the broken black hair on his head again, and softened his tone.
"Ling Yuan, can you tell Master about the situation at that time?"
Shui Lingyuan nodded and told the story in detail.
At that time, he led the ghost miasma all the way to the bottom of the valley. Seeing that there was no retreat ahead, the disgusting ghosts behind him rushed up, trying to eat him like a hungry tiger or leopard.
The ghost miasma came too much and too fiercely, and even the magic crystal bone couldn't deter it.
Shui Lingyuan was bitten and torn by countless bloody mouths, and she was about to lose consciousness in the severe pain, but she insisted on holding on, and at the last moment, she awakened a force.
Somewhere near the heart seems to be "opened" suddenly.A new, never felt power is being released.
As if guided by an invisible god, Ling Yuan seized the few strands of ghost miasma closest to her and swallowed them into her body.
After that, it was a steady stream of devouring.
Those dirty and resentful gases filled his abdominal cavity and merged with him.The screams of countless resentful spirits echoed in Shui Lingyuan's mind, which knocked his sanity to pieces.
In the chaos, he only saw the face of the master, but he didn't know what he was doing.
Later, he felt a hand caressing his forehead gently.Reality and fantasy are constantly intertwined, and he seems to have returned to the cub period in a trance. The master hugged him and coaxed him gently, "Duanzi..."
Warmth circulated around him.His sanity gradually recovered, but his energy had bottomed out.When he woke up again, he had shrunk back to the appearance of a dumpling, lying bulging under the blanket.
Turning to one side, I saw Master sitting on the bamboo chair next to his bed, and fell asleep.
Due to devouring a large amount of demonic energy earlier, Ling Yuan quickly transformed into a human form again, and her appearance also grew a lot, from a child to a handsome young man.
The young man put a quilt on the master, then walked out of the room lightly, brought the meal prepared by the senior from the stove, and stayed beside the master, waiting for him to wake up.
"Master, when I lost my mind, there was darkness in front of my eyes, and the only thing I could see clearly was you." Shui Lingyuan said in a muffled voice, "I remember it very clearly. At that time, I only had one thought, which was to hold the teacher by my side. Everything, no matter who it is, will be expelled. Unexpectedly..." He lowered his head, "I accidentally injured my senior sister..."
He clenched his pale, slender fingers.I can't imagine that if he completely lost his sanity at that time, if he couldn't even recognize the master, if he mistakenly pointed the sword at the master's throat, at this time, he might regret his intestines and feel so painful.
Thinking of this, he was afraid for a while, and suddenly stepped forward, and knelt down in front of Meng Yijue with a plop.
"Lingyuan, you are..."
"Master, I made a big mistake, please discipline and punish me!" Shui Lingyuan looked at him intensely, with deep and firm eyes, "If I lose my sanity again, the consequences will be disastrous. Before the next crisis comes, I will try my best to suppress my demon nature, absolutely, absolutely not, let this incident happen again!"
Meng Yijue put his hand on his shoulder.Through the thin clothes, he could feel the young man's body covered with thin muscles.He lowered his head and saw that handsome face that was almost indistinguishable from that of a human race was close at hand...
Shui Lingyuan looked so much like a person, if it wasn't for today's incident, Meng Yijue almost forgot that he was a monster.
Human beings have human nature, and demons have demonic nature, there is nothing wrong with this.
The nature of the water demon is bloodthirsty and devouring, to suppress the demonic nature, is it really possible to do it?If it fails, will more innocent people like Yun Muting suffer...
"I want to be a normal person, and I don't want to hurt everyone." Shui Lingyuan took Meng Yijue's hand from his shoulder, and pressed his palm against his cold cheek.With a low voice, he murmured: "When I was disturbed by the ghost miasma, the only thing I can remember is Master... Master, I am afraid, please help me."
He trembled when he spoke, feeling aggrieved and guilty.Shui Lingyuan has always been steady and sensible, Meng Yijue has rarely seen this pitiful and careful look, let alone refuse it.
This is the cub he picked up and brought up with his own hands. If even he gave up on him, then who else can take him in, raise him, and give him warmth.
Meng Yijue rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. "Lingyuan, you get up first."
Shui Lingyuan said sullenly, "Master, I will never eat indiscriminately again."
Meng Yijue smiled, "Swallowing is one of the main methods of water demon practice, you don't have to give up eating because of choking. Last time you faced Yan rampant, didn't you use this trick to defeat Yan rampant who was stronger than you at that time, and saved the master ?"
He helped Shui Lingyuan to sit on the side of the couch, and patted him comfortingly, "There is no right or wrong move, the key is how to use it. Lingyuan, let's think of a way together, we will be able to suppress the demon nature and use it rationally." Devouring power'."
Shui Lingyuan bit her lower lip, her eyes lit up in the darkness, "Master, as long as you are by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
"Of course Master will always be by your side and stay with you."
Meng Yijue reached out to hug him.
The boy in front of him had a lean and tall body, not much smaller than himself.
The baby fat on the cute face that was once slightly childish also faded, and a sharper outline appeared initially, with handsome eyebrows and eyes.
He sighed secretly, the child grew up so fast, he couldn't wrap him in his arms or hug him like before.And at some point, he will grow taller than himself.
Meng Yijue withdrew his hand, and although he was smiling, a trace of disappointment flashed in his heart for some reason, "Our Lingyuan is already a big child."
But when it retracted to its original shape, the water dumpling was still as small as before, which is amazing.
Shui Lingyuan buried her head on his shoulder, and murmured softly in a lazy low voice: "Master, I'm still far from growing up."
Meng Yijue patted him and said with a smile: "Look at you, you've grown so much taller, you're just a little boy."
Shui Lingyuan felt wronged, "Master, I'm only ten years old!"
"Ten years old?" Meng Yijue couldn't help but laugh when he felt his well-structured body hanging heavily on his body, "A ten-year-old monster is no longer a cub."
"No, I just want to be hugged by Master, and I want to sleep with Master tonight." Shui Lingyuan clung to him and refused to let go, "Master, don't chase me away!"
As if eager to prove that she was still a baby, Shui Lingyuan withdrew a bulging water dumpling in front of Meng Yijue, slipped into his arms as before, turned over and exposed her soft belly to the master, Wagging its tiny tail.
"Goooooooooooo..."
Seeing Tuanzi staring at him with dark eyes, Meng Yijue rubbed its belly helplessly, "Okay, Xiaotuanzi, I really can't do anything to you."
After washing, Meng Yijue was extremely sleepy, and quickly curled up under the blanket and fell asleep.
Shui Tuanzi in his arms opened his eyes with excellent night vision, quietly watching his face.Its eyes wandered in the dark night, carefully tracing the lines of his face and the outline of his figure.
It was attached to his heart as usual, listening to the steady heartbeat in his chest, and smelling the faint aroma of herbs in the soft hair with nostalgia.
Shui Lingyuan thought, he must remember him with all his heart, and remember him firmly.In this way, if one day falls into endless chaos again, at least he can't forget his appearance and won't hurt him.
Thinking like this, he couldn't look away more and more, grasping his breath every minute and every second.
Shui Lingyuan huddled in his embrace, her body, hair and skin were attached to his warmth.
However, the days of being held in the arms of Master like this should not be too long.he thought.
Master, I know that you have been waiting for me to grow up.
But wait a little longer, wait a little longer, Master.One day I will become strong enough, and at that time my embrace will also become your support.
The round body was lightly pressed against the master's cheek, and Shui Lingyuan was sleepless all night.
