With Jian Xing around, the thunder tribulation seemed to become much easier. The thunder blasted one after another. With the experience of forming the Dan, Qin Wanwan was able to adapt to it. She allowed the thunder to re-temper her body, turning it into spiritual power, and then returning to her body to condense the Nascent Soul, over and over again.
Unlike the Jindan stage, the Yuanying stage's heavenly tribulation begins to include the tribulation of the inner demon. People will manifest their deepest fears or obsessions, and if they cannot decipher them, there is a risk of going astray.
The two exchanged spiritual energy, and the thunder tribulation was halfway through. Both of them almost lost consciousness, relying only on a trace of willpower to hold on. The surroundings gradually became dark, and before Qin Wanwan could react, she found herself sitting at the desk, with a thick stack of documents in front of her. The person next to her whose face she could not see was chattering: "The boss said that the contract must be reviewed tonight, so you should leave work later, the client is anxious."
Qin Wanwan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and then she heard the other party start to mutter: "You are already old, don't be too picky, just find someone to marry and have two more children, otherwise who will take care of you when you get sick?"
Qin Wanwan swallowed, and the memories of two hundred years ago came flooding back, and she was as panic-stricken as ever.
It's a fantasy, too real.
She just sat there, listening to the chatter of those people. After a long pause, she slowly spoke: "You are violating the labor law by doing this."
The voice faded into silence, and the people standing in front of her seemed stunned.
Qin Wanwan thought about it and said what she wanted to say to her boss back then: "Besides, it's not that I can't work overtime, but you have to pay me extra for overtime. Three times the salary on holidays, and 1.5 times the salary on weekdays. If you pay me, everything will be fine. If you don't pay me, how can I have the heart to strive for success?"
Don't say anything, don't say it's an illusion, all 38 are silent.
I think it makes some sense.
"I won't give it to you."
The boss said: "Other people can endure hardship, why can't you?"
Hearing this, Qin Wanwan decisively pulled Yuan Ning out from the desk and slammed the sword on the table like a big sister.
"Have you figured out where it is?"
"What kind of place is this?"
"This is a world of cultivation where killing is not against the law!" Qin Wanwan said angrily, "Are you sure you want the cultivators to work overtime?!"
The boss didn't say anything.
After a moment, all the illusions disappeared, and Qin Wanwan smelled a fragrance from the tip of her nose. She sniffed and turned her head in the direction of the fragrance, and saw an elderly couple standing there with a sumptuous meal beside them.
Qin Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then waved at her: "Wanwan."
"Mother... Mother?"
Qin Wanwan was surprised. She hadn't seen a couple of that age for almost two hundred years.
She had bad luck with her family in the 21st century. After arriving in the fairyland, she had only lived with the couple for more than 20 years. When she was around 23 or 24 years old, the couple arranged everything and left the fairyland to find medicine for her.
Although the time they spent together was short, it was indeed her happiest time. So much so that now, after so many years, as she was approaching her 300th birthday, she still felt regretful.
If he really couldn't live past 300, the time he spent with his parents would be so short, and the time he spent looking for medicine would be wasted.
But she was always open-minded. She thought that if a child who had been taken care of for 300 years suddenly died one day, it would be a huge blow to the couple. It was not a bad thing that they did not need to have too much affection for each other.
Now, suddenly seeing him in the illusion, Qin Wanwan was unable to take her eyes away for a moment and really couldn't bear to leave.
Shangsui called her over and pulled her to sit. Her father, Tai Heng Zhenjun, sat beside her and served her some food: "Wan Wan has lost weight recently. Come, have a piece of crispy pork belly."
Qin Wanwan was overwhelmed by her parents' love. She was touched and happy. While eating meat, she asked her father vaguely, "Father, have you been doing well recently? Have you found the medicine?"
"Found it." Tai Heng Zhenjun replied with a smile, picking up some food for her. "Your father and I have been looking for a long time, and finally found a solution to your physical condition. Take this medicine and you will be well soon. From now on, your parents will accompany you every day, and no one will dare to bully you. Just eat and drink every day and be the happiest little lady in the fairy world."
Hearing this, Qin Wanwan felt something was wrong. She ate the lotus root slices that her elder brother had picked for her and replied vaguely, "I still need to practice. I can't just rely on you."
"Practice?!"
Tai Heng was shocked by Qin Wanwan's words: "Why do you want to practice? Practicing is so hard. You have your parents here. They will protect you for your whole life. You don't need to practice. Just rely on us."
Qin Wanwan froze, and at that moment, she felt someone pressing her head from behind and slamming her hard on the table!
Jian Xing's voice rang out excitedly: "As a disciple of Shangji Sect, there is no reason for us to rely on others for food! Our sect practices Taoism through fighting, and will never rely on others for food!"
As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding illusions instantly dissipated, Shang Sui and Tai Heng seemed to be swept away by the wind, they became twisted, they grabbed Qin Wanwan's sleeves, and shouted her name: "Wanwan! Don't leave us, Wanwan! Wanwan, you don't need to practice, you have to be the happiest salted fish in the fairy world!"
Qin Wanwan: “…”
This inner demon is really anxious.
She sighed, lifted her face from the rice bowl, and wiped the rice grains off her face with her hand.
She didn't even dare to think about the happiest salted fish, and she felt pain in her body when she thought about it. If Jian Xing knew that this was her illusion, he would break her bones again.
The moment she thought of Jian Xing, all her inner demons disappeared, her fantasy world was empty, and she slowly opened her eyes.
While Qin Wanwan was struggling in the illusion, Jian Xing had already been killing in the illusion for a long time.
He had gone through the inner demon tribulation more than once, and it was basically fighting. This time, he did not encounter any surprises and was still fighting.
But as he was beating her, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and then he heard 666's voice: "Master, you have to eat gigolo."
The moment the sound fell, a hundred thousand volts of electricity instantly ran through his body. He lay down skillfully, immediately raised his head, and lay on the bed in the posture of a drunken concubine.
It is his experience that the pain of electric current can be effectively reduced in accordance with the character setting.
The current really went down. He thought it was the end of it, but he didn't expect that just when he took a breath, he heard the voice of Lady Jishan. The voice was not loud, but it had a sneaky feeling, like some auntie discussing someone's inability to have children, which was disgusting. She said mysteriously: "Let me show you something. In the small world, Daojun Suiheng not only can't beat others, but also wears pink clothes, butterfly hairpins, seduces Turkey, participates in talent shows, and relies on others' protection to eat soft rice!"
"Ah," the people around him were surprised, "I didn't expect him to be a burden to others."
"I didn't expect that..."
Everyone was talking about it, and Jian Xing was shaking with anger. He knew it was a heart demon tribulation and he knew he shouldn't be angry, but when Lady Jishan turned around with a triumphant smile, he couldn't help but slashed at her with his sword and shouted angrily: "You're looking for death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud thunderclap. When he opened his eyes, he found himself back in the secret room when Hua Rong first captured him and took him to the City Lord's Mansion. His feet and arms were tied and he felt extremely hot.
He was filled with anger and hatred. He knew it was an illusion, so he shouted angrily, "Lady of Jishan!"
"Master," a voice called out softly from the side, "Do you think I'm beautiful?"
Jian Xing heard Qin Wanwan's voice and turned around consciously, and saw Qin Wanwan beside him.
She was wearing the same red dress that she had worn today when she came to save him with a knife. The dress was stained with blood, but her neckline was wider than usual, revealing her slender neck. The hem of her skirt was also lifted up, revealing her slender white calves.
This time they were closer, she was chained to the wall, her beautiful eyes seemed to have a hint of color, she looked at him so quietly, and he was stunned for a moment.
"Master," Qin Wanwan blinked, "Can I feed you blood?"
"Change your face right now!"
Jian Xing reacted after hearing this and shouted, "I'm angry looking at your face now!"
Qin Wanwan in the illusion froze, and Jian Xing looked at her angrily: "And look at how you look now, how disgraceful, your collar is so low, your clothes will fall apart if you fight!"
Fake Qin Wanwan: “…”
"What did you say?"
Jian Xing recalled what she had just said and hurriedly asked. Qin Wanwan immediately regained hope and entered into a working state, looking at Jian Xing with affection: "Master, would you like to feed me blood?"
"It's been a month?"
Jian Xing was at a loss, always feeling that things couldn't go so fast.
“Qin Wanwan” nodded: “We’re here.”
Jian Xing glanced around and said, "Why is this happening again?"
"Master," fake Qin Wanwan urged him, "the situation is not important. The most important thing is, don't you want to drink blood?"
"Qin Wanwan" leaned forward: "Come on."
Jian Xing nodded: "Okay, but I'll come up with a new way to draw blood this time to avoid embarrassment."
"New... new method?" Qin Wanwan was confused. "Not biting the mouth?"
"No need." Jian Xing smiled wittily and ordered "Qin Wanwan", "Come closer."
"Qin Wanwan" hesitated and stepped forward, Jian Xing took his head and hit "Qin Wanwan"'s nose hard!
That collision was modified by the Buddhist Iron Head Skill, which contained the power of purifying evil thoughts. When it hit "Qin Wanwan", "Qin Wanwan" screamed. Jian Xing was completely unaware and comforted her: "I made your nose bleed, I reluctantly swallowed a drop. Although this is a bit disgusting..."
Before he finished speaking, Jian Xing realized something was wrong. He looked up and saw "Qin Wanwan" turning into a puff of black smoke. Jian Xing instantly reacted: "Inner demon!"
After saying that, the chains on his body disappeared into ashes. Jian Xing rushed over with a sword in hand. He killed a black shadow with one sword and slowly opened his eyes.
Qin Wanwan had also opened her eyes, and while they were looking at each other, the last thunder rumbled. Qin Wanwan was afraid of the pain, so she closed her eyes tightly and held Jian Xingxi tightly. Jian Xingxi held her in return, and when the thunder came, Qin Wanwan was surprised to find that it didn't hurt much.
And when he saw Qin Wanwan across from him closing her eyes out of fear and relying on him, the image of "Qin Wanwan" in the illusion suddenly flashed through Jian Xing's mind, and his mouth suddenly became dry. He was so scared that he quickly closed his eyes, thinking that the demon in his heart was too disgusting.
She is his disciple! Is there no other woman in the world to fill the number in the Heart Demon Tribulation? !
He remained calm and channeled most of the last lightning into his own body. His body could not withstand such abundant power, so Jian Xing suppressed it forcefully into his body. After a short while, blood oozed out of his skin.
The thunder gradually faded away, and a spiritual rain fell, washing over Qin Wanwan and Jian Xing. The two of them gained enlightenment on the spot. After comprehending the heavenly path given by a thunder tribulation, Qin Wanwan slowly opened her eyes.
Jian Xing on the opposite side looked like a human being at the moment. Before Qin Wanwan could sigh, she saw countless soldiers surrounding them. Cui Lu was standing at the end. Xie Gutang was holding a sword to protect Qin Wanwan and Jian Xing, facing Cui Lu.
Cuilv said coldly: "I'll ask you one last time, where is our city lord?!"
Hearing this, Qin Wanwan pulled the gun out of Jian Xing's mouth. She stood up, stood in front of Jian Xing, looked at Cui Lu, and said calmly: "Dead."
"However," Qin Wanwan raised her hand and pointed at the surrounding formations, "Lord Cuilv, look carefully at this formation. It is a formation that wants to use the lives of all the people in your city to exchange for Linglong Jade. Are you sure that you still want to protect such a city lord?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Cui Lu looked around blankly. Qin Wan Wan looked calm, "Back then, Hua Rong killed Lord Ming Jun and stole Lord Ming Jing's cultivation. Now he regrets it and wants to use the lives of all the people in the city to revive Lord Ming Jing. Lord Cui Lu, for the sake of your city lord, are you really going to give up your moral life?"
Cui Lu didn't say anything. Her face changed drastically when she heard the name of 'Ming Jing Shen Jun'. After a long while, she asked with trembling lips, "Who do you say killed Ming Jing Shen Jun?"
