Raising cubs is not easy, the cat sighs

?? In the secret territory, the swarm of devouring insects, burning with hunger and devouring everything, ruthlessly harvested the lives of the geniuses; Get up to escape,? See a group of people not far away approaching quickly.

?? Fuying Liu stroked his chest with his remaining right hand, coughed up two mouthfuls of blood as black as ink, and a pair of passionate red phoenix eyes flowed among the few people in front of him, and said weakly and sadly: "Xiao Lan'er,? I didn't expect that you not only betrayed me,? You even wanted to put me to death."

"If it wasn't for my support, not to mention cultivation, you would have been tortured to death in the backyard of the Qu family."

??Qu Lan walked up to Fuying Liu, looked down at her condescendingly, and asked indifferently: "Do you still remember what you said to me before entering the secret treasure?"

??…

?? "Xiao Lan'er,? Do you know why I chose you in the first place?"

?? "Because you were very much like me back then, with nothing, and seeing death as home."

"What I want? Is a magic weapon that can split the road ahead,? Not a life-threatening waste."

?? "If you insist on living, then I can only let you die."

?? "In this world, life is the least valuable thing."

?? "If you don't want to be slaughtered, you can only cut off all retreats and fight with your life to become stronger."

?? "Qu Lan,? This is your last chance."

??…

?? Qu Lan pinched Fuying Liu Xiaoqiao's chin with two fingers like iron pliers, she bent down slightly, looked directly at the other's eyes filled with tears from the pain, and said in a low voice, "Master, it's just as you said. Life is the most worthless thing, I don't want to be slaughtered, I can only cut off all escape routes, and fight with my life to become stronger..."

?? "You really taught me well."

??Forced to look up at Qu Lan for a while, Fuying Liu broke free from the other party's restraint, and two bloody scars were drawn on his delicate face like a bright moon.She laughed like crazy, but the wound burst again due to the intense pulling, and the injury of the meridian also got worse, and she vomited blood again.

?? Qu Lan frowned slightly, took two steps back, and wiped off the half-clotted blood sticking to her fingertips with a silk handkerchief in disgust.Just about to shatter the stained silk handkerchief, she shook her head, and suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar.

?? Qu Lan is the sharp blade polished by Fuying Liu himself, and Fuying Liu is also the existence that Qu Lan has admired the most since childhood.Once upon a time, she was like an unclimbable peak to her, only admiration and longing.

?? So Quhui subconsciously imitated Fuying Liu's words and deeds, so that every gesture had the shadow of the other party, and even the shape of the frown between the eyebrows tended to be the same when he was angry.

??Thinking of this, Qu Lan stared deeply at the woman crouching at her feet, lingering on her last breath. After a long time, she exhaled the stagnation that had fermented in her chest for hundreds of years, and solemnly took the silk handkerchief that she was about to dispose of into her arms :'I am not her, nor will I become the second her. '

??Fuying Liu, who finally recovered, panted anxiously, raised his face dripping with cold sweat, and showed an ethereal smile: "Xiao Lan'er, why don't you introduce your new master to me?"

?? While speaking, her eyes wandered back and forth among the strange old and young not far away, and said softly, "Which one is it?"

??The little girl in a light yellow dress has clear and ruddy skin, like a budding lantern flower. She nodded politely to Fuying Liu.

??Young children's unique immature voice is softer than the clouds in the sky, and clear and melodious like a silver bell: "The matter has come to this point, and Miss Fu still has the intention to sow discord. You are really as tough as Sister Lan said, Never give up easily.”

?? Said, the little girl raised an innocent smile to Qu Lan: "Sister Lan and I are in a cooperative relationship. There is no such thing as who respects who is the master. Trust is a luxury for us monks. Only Benefits last forever."

?? "We benefit each other, and we each get what we need. Don't be ashamed of your little tricks."

"Everyone gets what they need?" Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, Fuying Liu asked with great interest: "Kids, tell me."

"What can Xiao Lan'er give you? What she gave you, why can't I give it to you?"

"Of course you can give it, but you won't give it." The little girl's big spring-like clear eyes were rounded, revealing an almost crazy frenzy in her eyes: "What I want——"

?? "It's you!"

With clenched fists in front of her chest, the little girl took two steps forward excitedly, her high-pitched voice was piercing, like the scream of a strong wind being forcibly smoothed by a narrow cave: "As a human race, I am forcibly devouring After defeating the monster clan, he was unscathed, and transformed himself into a strange life that is half human and half demon..."

?? "What a perfect experimental material, as long as I can study you clearly, I will be able to create real life!"

"At that time..." The little girl opened her arms, looking up at the blue sky piously and eagerly: "We Zhiyao will definitely occupy a place in this cultivation world!"

?? "Miss Huang." Qu Lan reminded: "Don't talk nonsense with her anymore, or something will happen if you delay."

??Restraining her expression, Ms. Huang changed back to her indifferent face, she tilted her head and said, "That's right~ After all, the geniuses on the list of martyrs are all very cunning."

?? She turned her head, showed a sweet smile to the old man in black robe behind her, winked playfully and said, "Elder Ye, I'm going to trouble you." [Note 1]

?? Fuying Liu quietly felt the conflict of three different forces in his body, half-closed his eyes, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

??Contrary to the situation of Fuying Liu who is at stake, Lian Xichuan is enjoying the spring breeze at this time, and he is very happy.

??Packing the storage rings dropped by the geniuses, Lian Xichuan counted the harvest with great interest, and he also experienced the joy of counting the number of spirit stones until his hands cramp.

??Gladly stuffing the cat litter and cat scratching board back into the storage ring, he couldn't help but be speechless: "These geniuses are all so rich! I just dug out a lot of elixir that is good for the soul, and I'll give it to you stay out."

??Put the full storage bag to Xiu Zhuo, and he curled his lips indignantly: "They clearly have no shortage of cultivation resources, but they just want to besiege me. They don't have enough hearts to swallow an elephant, so they killed themselves Bar."

??Xiuzhuo focused on collecting the corpses of the swallowing worms, and carried out preliminary smelting of them.With the blessing of Qinglian's different fire, he quickly disposed of all the corpses.

??Handing the broken jade ball to Lian Xichuan, Xiu Zhuo said with regret: "If it's not that the swallowing worm cannot be tamed, it can really be raised in captivity."

?? "In this way, even if I can't make a move after leaving the secret realm, you can add an extra guarantee."

?? Lian Xichuan waved his hand indifferently: "My own strength is the best protection. If I have your combat power, what else should I be afraid of?"

?? Turned the storage ring between his fingers: "With these resources, the speed of my cultivation can be improved a lot."

?? Lian Xichuan didn't run away blindly during this period of time. He crossed the border and killed many monks who were alone, and his ranking in the question list has also risen again and again.Unfortunately, the rules of the battlefield of the heavens are not friendly to him.

??The battlefield of the heavens not only blesses the power of the world-destroying god, but also suppresses Lian Xichuan, who cultivates with the power of evil.If not, Lian Xichuan should have broken through to the transformation stage long ago under such a high-intensity battle. Why did he stay at the peak of the solid stage for so long?

?? However, it is a blessing in disguise.Although Lian Xichuan's breakthrough was not as easy as before, it made the foundation more solid and improved his combat power from another angle.

"That's right! There is one more thing." Lian Xichuan sniffled, drooping his eyebrows pitifully: "You said before..."

"Fuying Liu is still the same as before, what do you mean? You knew each other before? How did you know each other? Are you familiar with her? Are you on good terms? Is it okay if I do something to her?"

?? The sour smell wafts out for thirty miles, and anyone with a long nose will be smoked to the ground.

?? But having said that, it can't be all blamed on Lian Xichuan. After all, this is the first time he heard Xiu Zhuo praise an outsider, so he couldn't help but think wildly.

??A lot of times, Lian Xichuan couldn't help but think about what it was like in Xiuzhuo's more than 2000 years that he hadn't participated in, and how many friends did he have?Are there any companions?Have you ever liked someone else?

?? He knew that as long as he showed a little bit of curiosity, Xiu Zhuo would know everything about him and talk endlessly.

?? But Lian Xichuan didn't want to, and didn't dare to ask, he was afraid of hearing about the past that he didn't like...

??Xiu Zhuo seemed to understand the chaos and complexity in Lian Xichuan's eyes, he looked at him tenderly for a while, and said with a smile: "I didn't even have any friends before, let alone a Taoist couple, except for Ban Ling and Fu Shi. .”

?? "I practice with all my heart, and I want to become the kind of powerhouse that Zunlinzun can disappear while talking and laughing. I don't have time to think about those love affairs."

?? "I was trapped by the bottleneck period at the peak of the tribulation stage for a long time, and I still couldn't sense the thunder calamity. Ban Ling told me that it was probably because I was too tense and my state of mind was not cultivated enough. Situation. So I decided to put it down for a while, travel around, and then..."

?? "I found you."

?? "At that time, I was strong enough to protect any existence that I wanted to cherish."

?? With his index finger lightly on the tip of Lian Xichuan's nose, Xiu Zhuo tilted his head and smiled at him: "Lian Xichuan, you came just in time."

?? "We met at the most appropriate time, and then we were together naturally."

?? "I am like you, always, always only you. So I hope that we can be honest with each other. If what I do makes you unhappy, you can tell me; if you want to know, you can ask directly I."

??"because I love you."

??Lian Xichuan stood in place for a long time as if he had been cast a holding spell, but there were still two patches of red on his baby-fat face belatedly.

?? Blinking his eyes in a panic, he rubbed his arms and said stammeringly: "Too..."

?? "Too nasty."

?? "It's fine to love me secretly, don't say it out loud, my heart can't stand it."

??Except when he's 'playing around', Lian Xichuan is essentially a shy kitten.

??Lovely pinched Lian Xichuan's cheeks, Xiuzhuo played with taste: "Are you still interested in Fuying Liu?"

?? Lian Xichuan: "I'm really not interested..."

?? After pondering for a moment, he shrugged and said, "Let's talk about it."

?? "The fish that slipped through the net, there is no guarantee that she will not do anything. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never lose a hundred battles~ It's good to know about it."

??Since Lian Xichuan wanted to hear it, Xiu Zhuo said: "I only met her a few times in the underground secret realm, and I am not familiar with her. But her experience is quite legendary, and the geniuses in the battlefield of the heavens know a little bit. , so I feel somewhat afraid of her."

?? "Secret Realm?" Lian Xichuan laughed dumbfounded: "I thought she was a human race."

??Xiu Zhuo nodded: "She is indeed a human race."

"Huh?" Lian Xichuan felt a little dazed: "If I remember correctly, isn't the secret realm of the dry ground more suitable for the secret realm of the monster race?"

?? Pursing his lips, Xiu Zhuo took a deep breath and said, "Fuying Liu is a bit special, she..."

?? "She used to be a kind of root."

??Although he felt that this was not a good word, Lian Xichuan still asked: "What is a seed root?"

??The root, as the name suggests, is the root system responsible for delivering nutrients to the seeds.

??Blood relationship has natural stability, so many great powers are inherited in the way of aristocratic families, and they have been undefeated for thousands of years.For them, heirs are particularly important,

?? But as we all know, the higher the monk's realm, the harder it is to conceive offspring.Correspondingly, once a child is successfully obtained, the child's talent must be extremely outstanding.The so-called "dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and the children of mice can make holes" is nothing more than that.

?? But there are advantages and disadvantages. The more talented the child, the more serious the encroachment on the mother.When they are not yet formed, they will plunder the vitality and aura of the mother body to shape their own foundation.Many female cultivators with outstanding talents did not make any progress after giving birth, and eventually passed away with regret due to the exhaustion of their lifespan.

??Besides, there are still many men who choose the same sex as Taoist couples. For them, it is almost impossible to have offspring with their own blood.

??Based on the above, the seed roots and their subsidiary products responsible for breeding have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

??The roots are mostly women born in the mortal world, and are sold by parents, elder brothers or husband-in-law to mortal forces that specialize in cultivating seeds at prices ranging from a few taels to dozens of taels.

??When a certain number of seed root candidates are purchased, the mortal forces will focus on checking whether they have cultivation talents.Women who are talented in cultivation are promoted to official planting roots, put on a number plate for sale, and feed them various spiritual diet pills in a way of cramming; The work of planting roots.

??When the roots break through to the foundation building stage and the meridians are filled with spiritual power, start to sow 'seeds'.Transplant the heart and blood of unformed children or male monks into the body of the seed root, and they will support the offspring of the monks with life and spiritual power.

?? Seed roots have cultivation bases in the foundation building period, but their foundations are shallow, and their vitality is far less than that of monks. Most of the seeds will die before the birth of a child.Even if it is the offspring of two Golden Core stage monks, dozens of seedlings are needed to conceive it.

??And Fuying Liu used to be a member of Zhonggen. Because she successfully conceived two male cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage and survived, she fell into the eyes of a demon cultivator and was bought by the other party for research at a high price.

?? As a result, Fuying Liu not only killed the demon cultivator who wanted to dissect her, but also swallowed her alive.

?? Afterwards, by chance, she entered the underground secret realm, broke through the encirclement and won the baptism quota in the Demon Refining Pool, and finally became a half-human, half-demon existence.

??When she left the Digan secret realm, Fuying Liu had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul. She resolutely joined the Nitianmen and degenerated into an evil cultivator.

??Then she approached the two male cultivators who were acting as surrogates, and sucked them into two skins with flower vines; then, she descended to the mortal world again, destroyed the Qu family that caused her suffering, and tortured and killed her former husband-in-law family.

?? Lian Xichuan was silent for a long time after listening, and said, "Xiuxiu, her husband, why are you willing to sell her?"

?? Xiu Zhuo pursed his lips and replied, "Human nature is complicated."

"For him, after selling Fu Ying Liu, he becomes a rich man, and he can marry a young and beautiful wife again, and live a prosperous life without worrying about food and clothing."

?? During the time when Xiu Zhuo and Lian Xichuan were talking in the secret realm, a piece of news caused a sensation in the comprehension world——

??The 470 nine monks who explored the secret treasure of the nine-tailed cat demon, including nine geniuses who died on the martyr list and 190 eight geniuses who asked the list, all perished, and none of them survived.
