Jiang Yuebai was in no hurry to go to the Yun family. She entered the city first, concealed her aura of cultivation, found a tavern with a lot of people, ordered a pot of spirit wine and two pounds of monster meat, and sat down to listen to the people in the tavern talking.
A table away from Jiang Yuebai, there were several young cultivators surrounding an elderly foundation-building cultivator, asking about the Yun family's affairs, and she happened to be listening.
On the outskirts of the Frost and Snow Region of the Doumu Realm, there are two major families in the Jiancang Mountains, the Yun family and the Lei family. In the past, the Yun family and the Lei family were equally powerful, and both had Divine Transformation cultivators in charge, and the Divine Transformation of the Yun family advanced to the Void Refinement Stage earlier.
Unexpected things happen in life. The ancestor of the Yun family who was promoted to the Void Refining Stage had been the clan leader in his early years. He was entangled in worldly affairs, and it was difficult to get rid of delusions, so his cultivation stagnated.
In order to cut off the delusion, he used the secret recipe that Jiang Yuebai had seen in a book before, refined the illusory clone, and then cut off the clone to get rid of the delusion.
However, this method is dangerous, and not everyone is blessed by heaven. The ancestor of the Yun family died because of this, causing the entire Yun family to fall into decline.
Under pressure from the Lei family, the Yun family moved out of Frost and Snow City and moved into Jiancang Mountain. Over the past one hundred years, the highest level of cultivation in the family is still at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, unable to break through to the God Transformation stage, and unable to compete with the Lei family in the city.
In fact, the people in Frost and Snow City still admire the Yun family more. The Lei family has always been arrogant and domineering, but the Yun family is very kind and is willing to open a charity in the city to accept orphans and guide those with good qualifications to enter the Tao.
But these good deeds could not prevent the disaster that was destined for the Yun family.
To Yun Muyuan, the person in the Yun clan who had the greatest chance of advancing to the Divine Transformation Stage, something happened that was big enough to bring about the destruction of the Yun clan.
Yun Muyuan was full of vigor and vitality when he was young. He was always the best among his peers. He was also born with a bright moon and a fresh breeze. In his early years, he went out to travel and brought back a woman from somewhere. He fell deeply in love with her and wanted to marry her and seek the truth together.
Although the woman's origins were unknown, the Yun clan did not object, because in the Dou Mu world, whether doing business or marrying a wife, a contract must be signed.
The Dao Fruit of Immortal Lord Fatian makes the contract power of Doumu Realm stronger than any other realm. Anyone who violates the terms of the contract will not be able to escape the backlash of the contract.
That is what a marriage contract is.
The two families are united in marriage, the covenant is signed in one hall, the marriage is eternal, they are of one mind and one heart, help each other sincerely, and will never betray each other.
In the early years, Yun Muyuan and his wife Ruan Qiongfang lived in harmony, practicing the Yun family's inherited skills together. Their cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and it only took them thirty years to go from the late Nascent Soul stage to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
The two also had two children. But ten years ago, when Yun Muyuan was preparing to retreat to become a god, Ruan Qiongfang was discovered while trying to steal the Yun family's secret treasure, exposing her true identity.
It turns out that she is not a human, but a snow demon.
Ruan Qiongfang wanted to take her two children and escape from the Yun family, but was stopped by the Yun family. In the fierce battle, her eldest son was accidentally killed by her, and the other child was also seriously injured and was saved by Yun Muyuan at his risk of his life.
Ruan Qiongfang also has the cultivation level of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and lives in the Jiancang Mountain where there is heavy snow all year round. This gives her a unique advantage and allows her to defeat all the other heroes.
If the marriage contract had not backfired, the Yun family would have been no match for Ruan Qiongfang.
When Ruan Qiongfang fled with serious injuries, she promised that one day she would come back to avenge her son's death.
Yun Muyuan never recovered from this setback, his cultivation level declined instead of improving, and now he lives in seclusion in the back mountain of the Yun family with his little son who was left behind.
"… Poor Yun Muyuan, the best among men, and also poor that innocent child. He is too weak to withstand the power of the Snow Demon from Ruan Qiongfang. He is bedridden and needs to be kept warm by spiritual fire. Otherwise, if he is not careful, his flesh and blood will freeze and he will die."
The elderly monk who was speaking sighed and when he looked up, he saw a beautiful female monk whose cultivation level was unknown sitting opposite him with a wine jug in hand.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm curious, how do humans and demons give birth to children?"
Jiang Yuebai stuffed the wine jug into the storage bag. This wine was for the Grand Elder.
The old monk was embarrassed when a female monk asked him such a question. "How would I know? I have never married a demon as a Taoist partner."
"No, I'm just curious. The snow demon is the essence of snow. Even if she turns into a human form, she doesn't have the ability to give birth to children like humans. So I'm curious about how they created these two children. Did they create them like a human couple, or did they use some other secret method..."
"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
The old monk coughed violently, stood up with a red face, and the monks around him burst into laughter.
"You girl, ah!"
"Hey, don't go. There are so many problems in your story. Monsters are heartless, so how could they fall in love with a man? That Yun Muyuan lived with the snow monster for more than 20 years, slept with her every day, and even had two children, but he didn't realize that she was a monster? This is impossible!"
"What are you looking at? Can't you have more questions?"
Jiang Yuebai paid the bill and left. She didn't want to ask any more questions, but the old monk's words were full of mistakes and omissions, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
She has been in the demon tribe for ten years and has seen through most of the demons.
If it is an animal, it is still possible to develop human love.
However, apart from monogamous monsters like the phoenix, cranes, wild geese, and wolves, which can maintain long-lasting love, the "love" of most other monsters only occurs in the spring of each year when they need to reproduce.
After this period, no one will recognize who is who. Female mantises even eat male mantises!
Therefore, most monsters have no heart, and the love between males and females is not as important to monsters as the rules of the tribe.
Just like Arisaema at the beginning, it seemed that he liked Blood Orchid very much, but it was just a whim and he wanted to experience the love of the human race.
At the critical moment of life and death, Arisaema can sacrifice Blood Orchid without hesitation.
The snow demon is not an animal, not even a plant. It is the essence of snow between heaven and earth. It does not have the ability to love, let alone give birth to a child
There is something fishy about this matter.
Jiang Yuebai asked people what the Yun family's secret treasure was, but people had different opinions and there was no definitive answer.
Come to think of it, a secret treasure, a secret treasure, can it still be called a secret treasure if it’s not secret
After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Yuebai stood at the door and wondered whether she should participate in the Yun family's recruitment. Although she was not afraid of signing an employment contract, she could not be used as a gun by others.
"The Snow Demon has instigated the monsters in the mountains to attack the Yun Clan twice. The Yun Clan took the initiative to attack once, but both times they returned empty-handed and lost a large number of personnel. This matter is not easy to handle."
"If you want to know the inside story of the Yun Clan and the Snow Demon, I can tell you. One question for one hundred spirit stones."
A lazy voice came from the side. Jiang Yuebai turned his head and saw a sloppy, bearded middle-aged male cultivator standing in the corner of the restaurant. He was yawning and looked sleepy, with white snow all over his body.
"One hundred spirit stones? Why don't you go and rob them!" Jiang Yuebai said unhappily.
The middle-aged male cultivator stood up straight, exhaled white air and said, "This is a question, one hundred spirit stones, pay first and I will answer."
Jiang Yuebai: … …
This man must be crazy, but he hid his cultivation level and Jiang Yuebai couldn't see through it.
Jiang Yuebai learned from Buxu Sanren’s previous experience and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He ignored him and walked away into the snow.
He had only taken two steps when a man was suddenly kicked out from a nearby shop and fell on the snow in front of Jiang Yuebai, and the spiritual wood in the man's arms fell to the ground.
"Hey~ Isn't this the pride of our Yun family, Yun Muyuan? How come you can fall down while walking? Ah, I forgot that you are no longer a Nascent Soul cultivator. Now your cultivation level has dropped to the Foundation Establishment stage. No wonder, no wonder."
A sarcastic voice came from the shop. A male cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core stage, dressed in blue, stood at the door with a mocking look in his eyes. He was wearing a blue robe and had a black wooden sign hanging from his waist. There was a word "Thunder" on the sign.
Jiang Yuebai looked at the man who was slowly standing up in front of him. He was wearing a coarse cloth, with footprints on his lower back. He was only in the late stage of foundation building. He remained silent and forbearing. He was indeed born with delicate features and was very handsome.
But although he had a young face, his hair was completely gray. He hunched over as he picked up the spiritual wood for burning, looking as old as a sixty-year-old man.
Without saying a word, he picked up all the spiritual wood, put them into the storage bag with trembling hands, and left in the heavy snow.
The blue-clothed male cultivator did not chase after them, but just snorted coldly and left to the other side.
Jiang Yuebai glanced around and keenly noticed that the sloppy male cultivator who had just asked her for 100 spirit stones had a vicious look in his eyes. She rubbed her nose and quietly followed the blue-clothed male cultivator of the Lei family.
On the other side, Yun Muyuan had already walked away.
Jiang Yuebai thought about it, secretly created a white vine clone, followed from underground, and went after Yun Muyuan with his original body.
