Volume 1: Questioning the Past Chapter 131 Nightmare
This is a nightmare…
"Little sister, what's your name?" In the dream, a man said to a girl.
"My name is Qiao Yanran, big brother, what about you?" The girl looked innocent.
“Yangtian…!” The man smiled slightly with a friendly look.
The woman's innocent eyes were filled with curiosity, and she said, "Yangtian? What a strange name."
The man still smiled affectionately, looking at the girl gently, and said: "Yanran, you must remember, from now on, you are mine, Yangtian, and you must not let any other man defile you, not even by touching you with a finger, understand?"
"Why?" The girl's eyes became more curious.
The man looked at the girl with a strange light in his eyes and said, "Because... you will become my fire and furnace. As my thing, you must be pure and clean."
"You're talking nonsense, my sister is not yours!" Suddenly, a boy who was older than the girl rushed over, took the girl's hand and protected her behind him, looking at the man with a bad look.
The man frowned slightly and said calmly: "You touched my things."
The next moment, without any warning, a flame suddenly ignited in the boy's chest and instantly spread throughout his body. Despite the severe pain, the boy subconsciously shook off his sister's hand to prevent the fire from spreading.
The girl was stunned at first, as if the sudden change made her unable to react, and then her face changed drastically. In horror, she wanted to rush over to put out the fire for her brother, but found that she could not move. She could only watch her brother burn in the fire, with big tears streaming down her face.
“Yushu!” Not far away, there was a middle-aged couple shouting the name of the boy in the flames. They seemed to want to rush over, but they found that they could not move. They could only watch their child burn...
"Now, do you understand?" The man's expression did not change, and he looked at the girl quietly.
The girl struggled desperately, but to no avail. She could only watch her brother burn up in front of her eyes, filled with fear and despair. She then looked at the man who was still smiling at her. He was the most terrifying demon in the world.
"It seems... you still don't understand."
As the man spoke, he looked at the girl's parents. As he walked towards them, the fear in the girl's eyes surpassed everything and she kept begging.
"I understand, I understand, please don't hurt them...!"
The man stopped and looked at the girl again with satisfaction. He pointed a finger at her forehead, a friendly smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "This is the seed of Tao I planted in your body. Whenever any other man touches you, it will wake up. It will not only kill the person who defiled you, but also kill everyone you think of in your heart ."
"Remember my words, you are mine, I will wait for you in Yangtian Territory!" After the young man said this, he disappeared.
Everyone resumed their actions. The girl threw herself into the remaining ashes on the ground. The two middle-aged men beside her hugged each other and cried bitterly. When they looked at the girl, all the tenderness and kindness in their eyes disappeared. Instead, they were complained and even resentful. It was as if they were looking at an... evil star!
Just because they also heard what the man said!
The girl's nightmare began from that day and lasted for a full twenty-eight years!
Under the setting sun, high in the sky, at this moment, a good show is being staged, a show of... "fratricide"!
I saw a young man with three hands, two of which held high a big black umbrella. The third big black hand condensed on his chest, was hitting himself with an even bigger black hand. Every punch made him scream in pain, and suddenly there was a sound of crying and shouting.
"Ah...! They say you shouldn't hit someone in the face, you broken coffin, you have no moral principles!"
"Be gentle! Don't hit my face!"
“Master Coffin…! Be gentle, I was wrong…!”
"Master Guan, spare my life! If you continue to fight, someone will die!"
Qiao Yanran, who was standing by, was originally still crying silently in a daze, but when she looked up and saw Gu Xiaoxing's miserable appearance, she burst out laughing again.
It was really that Gu Xiaoxing's appearance was too strange. He was holding a big umbrella and hitting himself with his fists. He was beaten and screaming. It was obviously miserable, but also inexplicably funny.
Gu Xiaoxing was furious. He was beaten so badly, and someone dared to laugh beside him? He immediately glared at him, but the next moment, he was stunned by his glare.
I saw that as the sun was setting, a ray of setting sun was shining on Qiao Yanran's beautiful and delicate face. There were still hazy tears hanging in the corners of her eyes, but there was an inexplicable light in her eyes, brighter than the setting sun, more beautiful than the sunset, especially the smile at the corner of her mouth.
She was wearing a plain blue and red dress with flowers on it, and was known as the Lady of Flowers. But at this moment, any flower would pale in comparison to her.
A sweet smile... all flowers bloom late!
"Yoho!? You can even be distracted when you're being beaten. It seems that Master Coffin's strength is not enough!"
The next moment, a punch hit Gu Xiaoxing's face.
"You broken coffin, you actually launched a sneak attack, how shameless!" Gu Xiaoxing roared.
Qiao Yanran looked at this scene and smiled again, the light in her eyes brighter, as if everything was different at this moment.
But for Coffin Master, it was still the same, he continued to throw punch after punch.
“I’ll make you shameless…!”
"I asked you to threaten Master Coffin...!"
Time passed slowly, and the sun slowly set amid the screams of ghosts and wolves.
"Huh... It feels so good. Okay, okay, I see you performed pretty well just now. I'll stop here today. Take a good rest and keep trying next time. I'll go back first!"
With a long cry, Mr. Coffin withdrew his black hand from Gu Xiaoxing's chest, leaving behind only a broken body that had been ruthlessly toyed with. He struggled several times but couldn't get up.
"Are you okay?"
Only then did Qiao Yanran dare to come closer. In fact, she had pleaded for Gu Xiaoxing several times, and she also knew that it was a magical treasure in Gu Xiaoxing's body that was showing its power.
But Master Coffin is not a kind-hearted person. To him, crushing Taoist Jishan to death or even the black crow to pieces are small matters. Beating Gu Xiaoxing is a big matter. How could he stop just because of a few words of pleas and not drag him over to beat him together? This is already a sign of restraint on his part.
Gu Xiaoxing used all his strength, but he could only raise his head slightly and said, "Do you think I'm okay?"
The voice was extremely small. If Qiao Yanran had not been a great cultivator who had reached the perfect stage of Jindan, she probably would not have been able to hear it clearly. Seeing his miserable appearance now, and recalling how calm and composed he had been in front of Taoist Jishan before, she could not help but chuckle again and wanted to reach out to help him up.
But when her hand was halfway extended, Qiao Yanran trembled subconsciously, but soon, her eyes became firm, and she resolutely extended her hand... and grabbed Gu Xiaoxing's hand.
Gu Xiaoxing's hands were also shaking, and it was painful, but when Qiao Yanran held his hand, the shaking gradually stopped, because an extremely gentle energy was flowing into Gu Xiaoxing's body, and wherever it passed, all the pain disappeared instantly.
Gu Xiaoxing glanced at Qiao Yanran inexplicably, thinking that this girl was capable! She was just a little silly. It was just a flesh wound, but she actually used her own life essence to heal her. This was just a sledgehammer...
No, isn't this a waste of talent?
After all, it was the source of life that had reached a perfect state of Dan formation. Gu Xiaoxing was quickly revived with full blood, and his mind immediately became active. He looked at the fair and tender little hand holding his, and then at the charming face, his eyes rolling around.
Then, he saw Qiao Yanran in front of him suddenly kneel down.
"Thank you for saving me, sir. Yanran is willing to serve you all my life to repay your kindness!" Qiao Yanran said in a clear voice. She knelt down in front of Gu Xiaoxing, but she was unwilling to let go of the hand he was holding.
Gu Xiaoxing was startled, wondering what was going on. Looking at Qiao Yanran who was lowering her head, it seemed that she was telling the truth. Suddenly, he felt the little hand holding his was trembling constantly, and the person who was kneeling seemed to have tears falling again.
For some reason, Gu Xiaoxing thought of the silly dragon again at this moment. They were all poor creatures who could not control their own destiny. He sighed and said, "There is no need to repay the favor..."
Qiao Yanran was stunned for a moment, then raised her tearful face and looked at Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing coughed dryly, but then continued: "But I'm still willing to serve you!"
Looking at his pretending to be serious face, Qiao Yanran burst into laughter again.
Gu Xiaoxing pulled her up and asked, "Tell me first, what happened to that broken crow?"
Since the other party has already set his sights on you, you should at least find out more about him first.
"Yes, benefactor!"
Only then did Qiao Yanran let go of Gu Xiaoxing's hand and bowed.
"It sounds weird to call me benefactor, so just call me Xiaoxing...we'll talk while we walk." Gu Xiaoxing waved his hand. He didn't really like these fancy rules.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yanran immediately took out the bead that could transform into an ice boat.
"We are all safe now. There is no need to fight so hard. Just take a rest and heal your wounds on the way." Gu Xiaoxing stopped her and patted his forehead. "Fa Cai, don't sleep. I was beaten so badly, and it's amazing that you can sleep. Come out!"
The little Qilin rushed out from between Gu Xiaoxing's eyebrows with sleepy eyes. When he saw the latter's ferocious expression, he paused and forced himself to be alert. When he saw the other party took out a thunder cloud fruit, he immediately became more alert.
After several days of recuperation, the little Qilin has fully recovered.
"Is this... the Thunder Demon?" Qiao Yanran exclaimed, looking at the scene in surprise, even a little unable to believe it.
The Thunder Spirit is definitely the most difficult to tame of all the spirits, and is known for its hot temper. What methods did Gu Xiaoxing use to make the Thunder Kirin in front of him so obedient?
In her perception, this is a thunder demon spirit in the early stage of Jindan!
But how could Gu Xiaoxing tell her that he had resorted to all kinds of cheating and deception!
Soon, in the night, under the moonlight, a thunder beast was running, and on the thunder beast, there was a man and a woman.
Qiao Yanran looked at Gu Xiaoxing, her eyes as gentle as moonlight. She had made a vow in her heart that she would follow whoever could save her from the nightmare for life.
And at this moment, she finally felt that the nightmare...was over!
