Chapter 428: All Things Are Straw Dogs (10)
"Come on, I haven't given it to you yet. Seeing how heartbroken you are, I don't want your baby. I just have one request."
Jiang Huaizhen, grinning, finally stopped feeling the pain when he heard that his little treasury was saved. He was even a little happy. He patted his chest and said, "You tell me, I will grant you all ten requests."
"Be quiet, don't run around and cause trouble again. You are lucky this time, thanks to Ah Xiao, otherwise I would have died in there, not to mention saving you. For the next year or so, you are not allowed to leave the valley again, so practice hard."
Jiang Huaizhen:!
If it were in the past, whether he heard his sister exaggerating her gratitude to Shen Xiao or asking him not to go out for a year, he would jump up and argue.
but now……
Looking at Jiang Huaiyu's pale face due to blood loss, and thinking about how her cultivation level, which she was proud of after practicing hard every day, had dropped so much, Jiang Huai was really a heartless person and would never do anything to go against her.
Besides, he just promised it with all his heart.
"Okay...I agree."
Jiang Huaiyu saw that his brother looked a little angry, but still agreed, and finally smiled.
Although her younger brother was disobedient and always got into trouble, he had one good quality that no one could deny: he was a man who would do what he promised.
"Okay, it's only one year. Normally, your sister and I may not be able to spend a year in seclusion. You don't have to look like a disaster is coming. The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts will be handed over to you in the future. You really should be more mature and stop being so unstable and neglecting your cultivation."
Jiang Huaizhen saw a flash of unwillingness in his sister's eyes.
He asked tentatively, "Who said you leave it to me? I don't like being the Valley Master. Don't I have a sister? Sister, you are much better than me in both qualifications and abilities. You should have inherited father's legacy. Why do you have to push it to me?"
Jiang Huaiyu's expression was indifferent, "Why are you saying such stupid things again?"
"What nonsense! What I said is clearly the truth..."
"I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while. If you have nothing to do, go play with those kids. Although they seem to believe us, they are still uneasy inside. You have been in contact with them the longest, and they trust you to some extent. You go and comfort them."
"Sister, you always run away when it comes to this." Jiang Huai stood up angrily, "Father is an old-fashioned man who favors boys over girls, but why do you always look down on yourself? In my heart, you are a hundred times stronger than me. If the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts falls into my hands, it will be over sooner or later. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."
Without waiting for Jiang Huaiyu to say anything, Jiang Huaizhen ran out angrily with his pet in his arms.
Jiang Huaiyu sat there in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.
Until there were two knocks on the door, she looked up and saw Shen Xiao coming in. She quickly sorted out her emotions and smiled at him, "Xiao, are you healed?"
Shen Xiao frowned and looked at her, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh."
Jiang Huaiyu's smile froze for a moment, then gradually faded away after a moment.
She is very pretty, and even looks a bit naive when she smiles. The amazing thing is that when she doesn't smile, she looks quite cool and otherworldly.
Yun Yao, the wife of the master of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, truly deserves the title of the most beautiful woman in the world of cultivation. The children she gave birth to are all very outstanding in appearance.
Seeing Shen Xiao frowning with a stern expression on his face, Jiang Huaiyu couldn't help but wonder, "I thought you had become better recently, why are you frowning again?"
Shen Xiao looked at her strangely, "Isn't it always like this?"
Jiang Huaiyu: ...
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that he really hasn't changed much. The so-called feeling that his temper has become better is also a more subjective thing. There is no change in Shen Xiao's speech and behavior. It may be that he was in a more relaxed mood because he rarely came out of the valley during that period of time, so he smiled more occasionally.
Jiang Huaiyu no longer insisted on this meaningless topic, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Shen Xiao was helpless when she asked, "Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?"
Jiang Huaiyu: ...
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
On the other side, Jiang Huaizhen ran to see the group of children.
The children were indeed closer to him than to others.
One of the kids even almost worshipped him.
That child was also the reason why Jiang Huaizhen was captured by Xing Wei on his own initiative.
He was fed up with staying in the valley, so he ran away from home and went to the City of Life and Death. By coincidence, he met a child who was about to be sold by his father and was planning to escape.
The kid actually thought that the boy was well-dressed and looked innocent and naive, and that he was a big fat sheep, so he wanted to steal some money from him to pay for his escape.
Unfortunately, no matter how fat the fat sheep is, it is still a small foundation. In front of a child who has never practiced, no matter how sophisticated the child's method of stealing money is, it cannot escape his perception.
The child was caught on the spot, and after he begged for mercy and gave a pitiful explanation, Jiang Huaizhen realized that the City Lord's Mansion had been buying children, and they only wanted hybrids, and those children never came out after being sold in. Everyone was privately guessing that the City Lord was either practicing some evil skills, or had a hobby of eating children.
Young men like Jiang Huaizhen are at the peak of their second-year mentality and sense of justice.
Without further ado, he decided to take care of this matter.
However, he was still not completely out of his mind. Before being deliberately captured, he ran to a place far away outside the city and sent out his own distress signal.
The people in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts actually discovered his running away from home very quickly, but on the one hand, it was not the first time he had done such a thing, and on the other hand, his life fire was burning well every day, so his family members were not too worried.
But after he left home for some time, Madam Yun noticed that there was something wrong with his life force, which was a sign that he might be in trouble, so she immediately sent out her disciples to look for him.
That was exactly the time when Jiang Huaizhen had been wandering around and finally had the guts to run to the City of Life and Death.
Just as those disciples found his trace, they received Jiang Huaizhen's signal nearby.
At that time, Jiang Huaizhen had already been captured and trapped in the City Lord's Mansion.
In fact, Jiang Huai had always heard about how dangerous the City of Life and Death was, but he really didn't believe it.
He was born at the top of the upper cultivation world. Both his parents were powerful high-level people. He was surrounded by cultivators with extraordinary qualifications. He was not the kind of child with no vision.
The danger of the City of Life and Death is more targeted at those middle and lower level monks.
I heard that the most powerful person in the City of Life and Death is only at the Nascent Soul stage. It's okay for him to bully others in the lawless area, but he is not good enough in the upper cultivation world.
He has many magical weapons on him. Although the realm of the contracted spirit beast is lowered because of the contract with him, its bloodline is the bloodline of the ancient mythical beast Taotie. He is not afraid of meeting a Yuanying stage beast, as he can still fight.
However, he could never have imagined that there was a master hidden in the City of Life and Death.
He didn't even have the chance to meet the city lord, so he didn't know how powerful he was. He just heard after being rescued that he was killed by two late Nascent Soul cultivators from the Immortal Alliance. It was easy to guess that he was at most a Nascent Soul cultivator.
But that Xing Wei... must be at least at the Spirit Transformation level.
You know, in the cultivation of immortals, the difference between one realm and another cannot be simply summarized as one level higher or lower.
Especially between Nascent Soul and Spiritualization, this is considered a threshold.
Those who can truly enter the stage of transformation are all called Immortal Lords.
How could a small guardian possess such strength and submit to a Yuanying City Lord?
No matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem right.
Oh, by the way, there is also Shen Xiao.
It is also interesting to note that he was able to catch Xing Wei's whip.
Jiang Huaizhen started brainstorming crazy conspiracy theories there.
In another place, Si Cen, who stepped into a strange pair of snow goggles, was also caught in a brainstorming session.
Wasn’t he thrown into a pool of blood and swallowed by the inexplicable evil energy within?
Why did he regain consciousness?
After waking up, I found myself in such a strange place?
Also, what is this big, warm thing he is covering himself with and holding?
bird?
Big goose?
