Chapter 680 680: My Ancestors Were Scumbags (14)
In addition to practicing every day, Xia Beibei would occasionally come out of the practice room and put a few sticks of incense on the portrait of Taoist Yunwu. Although he had never met him, he could be regarded as his master.
On this day, as usual, Xia Beibei planned to go out to offer incense after practicing. However, as soon as she walked out of the training room, she felt something shaking!
This is……
Was there an earthquake?
Xia Beibei's eyes flashed, and he immediately stepped outside the cave. He only saw dust and smoke billowing in the woods not far away, and murderous intent was everywhere.
It's not an earthquake, it's someone... fighting!
Who could it be? To actually come here?
Xia Beibei hesitated for a moment, but decided to go over and take a look.
She held her breath and quickly came to the scene of the incident. When she saw the faces of the two people fighting in the woods, she was stunned again.
The two people who were fighting inextricably were a man and a woman. The man was still wearing a dark blue monk's robe. He was quite old, had gray hair, and looked righteous.
And that woman...
She was wearing a black robe, her dark hair was shawl-length, and her delicate face showed nothing but indifference.
There was not a trace of color on her body, except for... those blood-red eyes.
It's Lin Qinglan!
Why is she here?
When Xia Beibei was stunned, Lin Qinglan not far away also spotted Xia Beibei's figure. She also paused slightly and looked at Xia Beibei with twinkling eyes: "Beibei?"
While Lin Qinglan was distracted, the old Taoist priest opposite her immediately took the opportunity to activate his magic weapon.
"careful!"
Xia Beibei shouted subconsciously.
Lin Qinglan just smiled coldly, and when she raised her hand, countless black and red mist filled the air. The mist seemed to be able to swallow everything.
"ah!"
With a painful wail, the old Taoist priest in blue robes was sucked into the mist. When the mist dissipated, only bones were left.
In the mountain forest, there is silence.
Lin Qinglan looked at Xia Beibei coldly.
It wasn't until a long time later that Lin Qinglan slowly said, "Beibei, I haven't seen you in ten years. You look pretty good."
ten years.
Xia Beibei was startled. Has it turned out that ten years have passed?
"Sister Qinglan, you..."
"I am a demon."
Lin Qinglan interrupted Xia Beibei: "Mo Nan should have told you, right? By the way, have you been with him for the past ten years? An Chen... has always hoped that you can go back. The door of the Xia family will always be Open for you.”
"You and Xia Anchen, are you... okay?"
It turns out that ten years have passed. Xia Beibei wonders how the relationship between Xia Anchen and Lin Qinglan will change now?
Sure enough, after hearing Xia Beibei's question, Lin Qinglan's expression hesitated for a moment.
"I am fine."
She smiled faintly at Xia Beibei, but Xia Beibei could no longer find the gentle and graceful shadow of before on her face.
As a half-demon, you can choose to be a human or a demon.
Lin Qinglan never liked being a monster, let alone harming others, but...
If it was for the man she loved, she would be willing to become a demon.
She would always remember that night ten years ago, when her demonic power exploded for the first time and she turned into a half-human, half-demon monster. At that time, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.
At that time, Xia Anchen appeared.
"Qinglan, don't be afraid."
That was the first time that Xia Anchen called her name.
He even opened his arms, gently held her in his arms, and whispered slowly: "Even if you are a demon, you are still my Xia Anchen's woman. I will not give up on you, and I will find a way to help you." of!"
In order to maintain her human form, Lin Qinglan had to constantly suck the flesh and blood of living people. Every time she finished sucking the flesh and blood of living people, she didn't know how to absorb the essence, blood and spiritual energy. Xia Anchen helped her.
And the way he helped her was through dual cultivation.
The bodies and auras of the two people were completely integrated into one, which allowed Lin Qinglan to grow rapidly, and also caused Xia Anchen's cultivation to skyrocket in a short period of time.
Lin Qinglan always hoped that she could marry Xia Anchen and become his woman, but she didn't expect that what she had been waiting for would come so suddenly, and it was during her most panicked and helpless days.
In those days, Xia Anchen spent almost every night with Lin Qinglan. Those were perhaps the happiest and most memorable days in her life.
but……
Not sure what she was thinking of, Lin Qinglan's eyes gradually became complicated and sad.
Happiness is always short-lived, but betrayal and hurt always come suddenly and without warning...
Feeling the fluctuations in Lin Qinglan's body, Xia Beibei took a deep breath and asked softly: "Sister Qinglan, are you still in the Imperial Master's Mansion now?"
"Um."
Lin Qinglan nodded: "Beibei, if you are willing to go back, I can take you back to have a look."
"Okay, wait for me."
Now that ten years have passed in the outside world, and God allowed him to meet Lin Qinglan here, Xia Beibei felt that this might be a signal, a signal for him to return to Kyoto.
What is happening in Kyoto can only be known by going back in person.
So, after Xia Beibei left a note for Mo Nan in the cave, he and Lin Qinglan set off on their way back to the capital.
In the past ten years, the capital of Dongling Kingdom has become more prosperous, and the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion has become more and more solemn, and even the courtyard walls have been built higher and higher.
"lady."
As soon as Lin Qinglan returned to the Imperial Master's Mansion, the guard at the door immediately saluted respectfully and said hello.
Hearing what the guards said, Xia Beibei was slightly startled. Did Lin Qinglan and Xia Anchen get married?
Xia Beibei was thinking when he suddenly heard a confident voice: "Sister, is it really you? Senior sister!"
A middle-aged man quickly rushed to Xia Beibei. Xia Beibei took a look and realized that this man was Xia Ming.
In ten years, Lin Qinglan has not changed, and Xia Beibei has not changed, but as a mortal, Xia Ming has entered middle age.
"It's me, Xia Ming, long time no see."
Xia Beibei smiled at Xia Ming: "How have you been these ten years?"
"I am fine!"
Xia Ming smiled at Xia Beibei: "I am already married, and the child is only two years older than the young master. In the past ten years, the Imperial Master has been thinking about you, senior sister! I know that you were kidnapped by that evildoer Mo Nan. I’ve been worried about you, so I’m relieved to see that you’re okay!”
"Uh, hehe."
Xia Beibei smiled awkwardly at Xia Ming. So Xia Anchen told others that he was kidnapped by Mo Nan? Gee, this is really his style.
but……
"Xia Ming, the young master you are talking about is the son of the Imperial Master?"
Xia Beibei looked at Xia Ming and then at Lin Qinglan, and asked anxiously.
"yes."
Xia Ming nodded with a smile on his face: "Now the Imperial Master is teaching the young master the formation in the backyard. Senior Sister, would you like to go over and have a look?"
