The Luoxia Mountains near the Qing and Sui Dynasties is a famous tourist attraction. Every year in the transition season between autumn and winter, many romantic literati or Taoist monks will go to the Luoxia Mountains to watch the singing of thousands of birds. The scene of red maples like fire and rosy clouds filling the sky makes people feel refreshed, and all the troubles stuck in their chests are swept away.
However, this year, there seem to be more tourists in the Luoxia Mountains than in previous years, and there are also many more powerful cultivators. They can be seen coming and going at the foot of the mountain everywhere.
"I didn't expect that there would be so many tourists in the Luoxia Mountains this year." One of Princess Linglong's followers couldn't help but muttered, his eyes scanning over one of the monks whose cultivation was indistinguishable.
"Oh, sir, don't you know this? This year is the period when the seven-color lotus flowers in the lotus pond of the Luoxia Mountains bear fruit once in a hundred years. Many monks go to the Luoxia Mountains to snatch the lotus seeds, not to reward them. It's beautiful." The waiter said quickly without lowering his voice.
"The fruiting period of the seven-color lotus?" Princess Linglong's entourage couldn't help but cast their eyes on Ye Xiuwen, who was sitting not far away. If he remembered correctly, the evil god let them get the lotus seeds of the seven-color lotus. Did you lead the way here? I don’t know how this evil god will react when he hears the waiter’s words. There are many people snatching lotus seeds.
He observed for a moment and found that Ye Xiuwen was really calm, as if he had expected it. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, powerful people are different and can face this situation calmly.
Immediately, he secretly set his sights on Princess Linglong and glanced quickly at Princess Linglong.
As a follower of Princess Linglong, he really didn't understand what the princess was thinking. This evil god just wanted them to lead the way, so it would be enough to take Ye Xiuwen and Jun Xiaomo to the Luoxia Mountains. Why didn't the princess plan to leave? Well, does the princess also want to snatch the seven-color lotus seeds? I really don’t understand, I don’t understand.
Naturally, this attendant had no way of knowing what Princess Linglong was thinking, because he was not a princess who had been aloof since he was a child. Naturally, he could not understand that Ye Xiuwen made Princess Linglong lose face and was unable to step down. For Princess Linglong, it was What a blow.
What makes Princess Linglong resentful the most is that twice in a row, she has been disgraced in front of Jun Xiaomo. Princess Linglong thinks that in terms of beauty, identity, status, and wealth, Jun Xiaomo is the one who flatters her. If he can't catch up with him, why does his consort seem to have lost his soul when he sees Jun Xiaomo, and the handsome man next to Jun Xiaomo is not pretentious to him, and does not pay any attention to him.
How could Princess Linglong, who has wanted wind and rain since she was a child, understand that true feelings must be cultivated, not snatched? People may be deceived by temporary external things, but true and lasting love However, feelings slowly settle down over time and can never be achieved overnight by relying on external things.
Princess Linglong, who wanted to regain her position, naturally did not want to retreat with her troops so quickly. She wanted to wait until her father and people from the sect sent people to support them. When the time came, she must make Jun Xiaomo look good!
Princess Linglong didn't wait long. On the third day of her stay at the Luoxia Mountains Inn, her consort Zou Zilong arrived with the disciples of the Qingfeng Sect. Along with him, there was another person who made Princess Linglong feel particularly uncomfortable. A pleasing woman, Zhuang Lenghui.
"Why are you here too?" Princess Linglong frowned and asked when she saw the woman walking beside Zou Zilong and following him into the inn.
Zhuang Lenghui curled her lips and said, "I heard that the scenery in the Luoxia Mountains is pretty good, so I came with you."
"That's right." Princess Linglong walked up to Zou Zilong, hooked his wrist, pulled him to her side, and then said to Zhuang Lenghui, "You'd better think like this and don't have any small thoughts. .”
Zhuang Lenghui smiled inexplicably, turned around and left, not responding to Princess Linglong's words at all.
Just as Princess Linglong disliked her, she also always disliked Princess Linglong. She always acted as if she didn't care about the world and acted willfully. She thought that everyone was like her, with only boring love and love in her head. .
Does she think Zou Zilong is a fragrant steamed bun? Everyone wants a bite? Zhuang Lenghui thought disdainfully that she, Zhuang Lenghui, also looked down upon men who used marriage to gain power and status.
She came here this time just to comply with the master's request and bring the Qingfeng Sect disciples here to snatch the seven-color lotus seeds. She has nothing to do with Zou Zilong and Princess Linglong, not even with the "resurrected from the dead" Jun Xiaomo. How big a deal.
When passing Jun Xiaomo, Zhuang Lenghui glanced at her sideways, and seeing her listless and frail look, she couldn't help but smile coldly in her heart.
What if I become Elder Tong’s disciple? Are you not so depressed now? He no longer has the qualifications to be his own opponent.
Zhuang Lenghui thought so and walked upstairs in a good mood.
Jun Xiaomo didn't know that she had been rated as "weak and weak" by her former "fellow disciple". Or maybe, even if she knew this, she didn't have much energy to care about it, because the child in her belly was really weak. It took a lot of tormenting her, and although it was still just a small ball of fetal air, because it was incompatible with her physique and required extra spiritual energy to shape her body, Jun Xiaomo lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
More than once, after Ye Xiuwen saw Jun Xiaomo unconscious without warning, he looked at Jun Xiaomo's lower abdomen with a dark expression and wanted to take away the child.
If the cost of carrying this child was that Jun Xiaomo lost his life, then he would rather let the child die in Jun Xiaomo's belly!
The old naughty boy saw Ye Xiuwen's thoughts and reminded him again and again not to be impulsive. After all, the seven-color lotus was right in front of him, and they happened to meet the date of the knot. It would be a pity to give up midway.
Moreover, Jun Xiaomo also repeatedly emphasized to Ye Xiuwen that no matter what happened, she would never give up this child. Therefore, under the persuasion of the old naughty boy and Jun Xiaomo, Ye Xiuwen reluctantly suppressed the urge to impulse.
On this day, Jun Xiaomo fainted again without warning. In a few days, it will be the fruiting stage of the seven-color lotus. Ye Xiuwen planned to take Jun Xiaomo over there today to take a look and assess the environment. , but after Jun Xiaomo fainted, all this became difficult to handle.
"Okay, what's there to worry about? Can't you just leave your wife in the inn?" The old naughty boy raised the flask, took a big sip of wine, and said, "Don't worry, I am an old guy. Look, nothing will go wrong with your wife." The old naughty boy said, patting his chest.
Ye Xiuwen also knew very well that with the old naughty boy's ability, it was not difficult to protect Jun Xiaomo. However, for some reason, he always felt uneasy in his heart and was not sure about this matter.
"Okay, okay, if you didn't go to the lotus pond to step on it, if the lotus seeds were lost, where would you cry? You can't afford to delay, but your wife's health can't afford to delay." The old naughty boy continued to persuade He said, finally, Ye Xiuwen was persuaded by him.
"Well, I'll leave her to you. I hope she'll still be inside safely when I come back." Ye Xiuwen glanced at the closed door and said to the old naughty boy.
The old naughty boy waved his hand and said it was okay, no problem at all.
Ye Xiuwen picked up Feng Lingbu and left, planning to take a brief look at the environment next to the lotus pond and then come back to make a quick decision.
The old naughty boy let out a wine burp, moved a chair and sat at the table not far from Jun Xiaomo's bed, humming a song and continued drinking and eating.
However, the old naughty boy had never calculated that someone would put medicine in his food. Shortly after Ye Xiuwen left, his body swayed, his vision went dark, his forehead tilted, and he fell forward on the table. superior.
"Stupid old guy." Princess Linglong strode in and pushed on the old naughty boy. She found that he was fast asleep and couldn't wake up at all. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips in pleasure.
When her eyes fell on Jun Xiaomo, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed with his eyes closed, there was a hint of cruelty in her eyes - she wanted to see what Jun Xiaomo was doing when it fell on her hand. How can Mo still be so arrogant!
"Take Jun Xiaomo away from me!" Princess Linglong ordered the entourage behind her.
"Yes." They did not dare to disobey Princess Linglong. Although they were a little afraid that Ye Xiuwen would settle the score later, they still followed Princess Linglong's instructions.
I hope Ye Xiuwen can't do anything to them if the prince-in-law is there, right? Princess Linglong's entourage thought with a hint of luck.
The "Prince Consort" they were referring to was Zou Zilong, the first disciple of the Qingfeng Sect's Shibian Peak Master. However, in their eyes, Zou Zilong's strength was already very powerful, far higher than those of his peers. , but after so long, Zou Zilong has only reached the early stage of the Golden Elixir.
His strength is not even comparable to that of Jun Xiaomo, let alone Ye Xiuwen
Therefore, Princess Linglong and the others, who misjudged the strength of Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen, are destined to pay the price in this action.
Until Princess Linglong took Jun Xiaomo away, the old naughty boy still didn't wake up.
The old naughty boy who smashed his mouth in his sleep did not know that he would soon face the wrath of his apprentice.
Jun Xiaomo woke up from a nauseating dizziness. When she opened her eyes, she found that her surroundings had changed. She was not in an inn room, but in a small room that looked ancient. The room was filled with wood and debris.
She felt a little hungry and her stomach was twitching a little. I'm afraid she woke up naturally because she was too hungry.
Originally, when she reached the early stage of Nascent Soul, it was okay not to eat for a few months, but now she still had a baby in her belly that was waiting to be formed, which needed a lot of nutrients. If she didn't eat, the fetal gas in her belly would It will quickly consume the energy in her body, which will be even worse for her body.
Jun Xiaomo pursed her lips, wanting to see what could be eaten in the storage ring to fill her stomach first, but found that her hands were also tied, and the chain on it was made of unknown material. It can't be pulled apart at all times, it's very strong.
Just as she was struggling, the door of the woodshed was opened, and a man walked in against the light.
"Stop struggling, you can't get away no matter how hard you try." The visitor said slowly and leisurely, looking at Jun Xiaomo with his eyes wandering around Jun Xiaomo's body like a snake.
Jun Xiaomo looked at the person with half-closed eyes, but against the light, she couldn't recognize who the person was.
Does she know this person
