I like the small courtyard of Qingqing's house, which is located on a mountainside, surrounded by some unknown maple trees, tall and lush.

Usually except for me and Qingqing, there are only a few young half-demons who occasionally pass by. I had secretly observed their real bodies, and they were all foxes. Qingqing said to me that this is the home of the nine-tailed fox. Fox Piaopiao is the princess of the fox clan, since she has already instructed others not to set foot here, as long as I don't go out of this courtyard, this is the safest place.

I was lying on the swing in the yard and the sun was just right. Qingqing has not come back since she was called away by the fox Piaopiao in the morning. The strange thing is that I am not worried about her, maybe in my subconscious, Fox Piaopiao is not a dangerous person. I seem to have reminded myself in my heart that the fox Piaopiao is the person of the Nine Infants! He once wanted to kill me! But it seems that in front of this face, I can't even say that I have a good feeling, even if I know that she is Chongming's predecessor, my heart is only a little sour, but not jealous. Was it because she saved me once that I was bought by her?

In fact, every time I think of Chongming, I will secretly ask myself in my heart, if Chongming had to choose between the two of us, who would he choose? If he loves both, what should he do? Thinking like this, I can't help but blush, and my heart beats faster. He complained about his shamelessness while sitting up and trying his best to stabilize his emotions. Occasionally, an idea pops up, and he immediately shakes his head fiercely, as if he wants to throw out all the messy thoughts in his head.

Suddenly, a huge black cloud floated over the western sky, and my heart sank suddenly, because I knew that it was a huge real body that I had never seen before.

I quickly held my mind and searched for the true face of this monster in the huge cloud, and suddenly, an image suddenly appeared in my brain. It seemed to be the shadows of nine snakes entangled, and I continued to control my concentration, and I saw clearly, and I saw clearly! The shadow finally revealed its true body from the dense black clouds! The nine snake bodies were entangled with each other, and each body had the heads of a baby, and the heads of those babies had ugly expressions and hideous! Oh my God! I had seen this thing! This was the carving on the bed where the young master slept, it was the nine infants! It was the monster who had been trying to find the true soul of the young master and eat it and destroy the world!

Suddenly, the Nine Babies seemed to notice that someone was spying on him, turned his head, and turned to face my face! I was shocked! I really thought that he could see me, so I immediately retracted my mind and fled into the house.

I slammed the door against the door, trying to adjust my breathing and quiet myself. It's a very bad feeling, it's a bit like when you look at a note when you cheat on an exam, and when you look up, you are looking at the invigilator!

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the Nine Babies slowly descending from the western sky through the crack in the window, which meant that he had not discovered my presence. I looked at the location again, and I had heard Qingqing mention that it was also a huge snow-capped mountain lake. Qingqing also said that when I fully recovered, he would definitely take me to swim secretly. But the lake is very cold, so don't cry when the time comes!

Jiuying, did he go to that snow-capped mountain lake?

I glanced at the protective armor on my body again, it was as thick as soft armor at this moment, and remembered that Fox Piaopiao said that I was not popular, and I couldn't help but increase my confidence. I walked out of the yard and looked a few times in the direction where Qingqing left, there was no Qingqing there, I looked back at the direction of Snow Mountain Lake, it was really too close to me! I really wanted to see... My eyes slowly blurred and my thoughts began to become confused.

A cold wind ruffled my hair, and I couldn't help but shiver. My vision changed from blurry to clear, and in front of my eyes was the beautiful snow-capped mountain lake. I walked straight to the edge of the lake and tested the temperature with my hands, and it was indeed bitterly cold.

I carefully searched around the lake, but there was no trace of the Nine Infants. Where had he gone? Wondering, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind him. I hurriedly looked back and saw two men in purple cloaks glaring at me with fierce eyes. I secretly sensed their true bodies, and they didn't belong to the Nine-Tailed Fox clan. Then, it must be Jiuying's subordinates!

"What the hell, what are you doing?" said one of them to me defensively.

"I—" I turned around as I feigned relief, and as I thought quickly in my head of what to use as an excuse to get out without being suspected.

The other jumped up in front of me, sniffing hard at my side with his nose, and I had to try to stay away with an awkward smile.

"Huh?" the man looked at me suspiciously, "why don't you have a demonic spirit?"

"No demonic energy?" The person from before also came forward to smell it, "It's strange, why doesn't she have demonic energy!

I was shocked, but on the surface I was still shocked. I found a rock to sit down, not wanting them to notice my legs, which were weak from fear. "yes, why don't I have neither demonic spirit nor popularity?" I said slowly, wanting to delay a little longer. This allows me to make up more plausible lies.

"Why?" urged one of them, impatiently.

At this moment, a mussel on the shore of the water opened its mouth and spat out a small blister, which made a gurgling sound. My thoughts instantly cleared, "Because... Because... Because I'm not a land animal demon like you! I'm a pearl spirit, I'm not without demonic energy, it's because my demonic energy is different from yours, and your level is too low to smell it!"

I saw the two little demons look at me suspiciously, "Pearl essence, have you heard of it?" One asked the other in a low voice, and the other was not sure, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get on the stage, so he replied in a low voice, "Everything has spirituality, and it is very possible to say that a pearl becomes a essence." I've heard that there used to be some pipa masters. But we haven't seen it yet, so I don't know if this pearl is really different from us. ”

I snickered as I eavesdropped on their conversation, and said that thanks to the two silly youkai I met today, I'm afraid there is nothing to worry about. Unexpectedly, the little demon who was talking behind suddenly said, "That's good, you can show our brothers their original forms!"

"Ah?!" I felt weak for a moment, "how can the circle be shown to you casually! You are so strange! Why! I am a high-level pearl spirit family!" I said as I waited for an opportunity to find a way to escape. Unexpectedly, those two little demons seemed to see through my thoughts, and actually crossed their knives in front of me. One said viciously, "If you can come up with a prototype and open our eyes, we can not only spare your life." And apologize to the noble pearl spirit!

Suddenly, I thought of a wonderful way to escape, and I couldn't help but be proud in my heart, "It's no problem to be in my original form, but since I'm a pearl, I naturally have to do it in this lake." ”

The two youkai looked at each other and seemed to agree with me. Who made my "pearl essence" a scope that they could not know?

One of them pointed to the mirror-like lake with his scabbard, "Don't go yet!"

I shrugged helplessly, took a deep breath, and walked into the lake.

The water was as cold as I imagined, and I couldn't help but shiver. The little demon behind me was still urging me to quickly show my original form, and I gritted my teeth and swam towards the center of the lake. For some reason, the two little demons saw me go away and suddenly shouted at me in a panic. I steadied myself, turned around and looked at them in wonder, and said to myself, what is the matter? I saw them hurriedly shouting for me to hurry up and get ashore, as if something terrible would happen if I swam any further in.

In fact, I was already freezing and stiff at the moment, but in order to scare them, I turned around and moved a little closer to the center of the lake. Suddenly, I felt that the lake was starting to get warmer, and I wondered if I had adapted to the temperature. At first, I thought it was a hallucination caused by freezing to the limit, so I swam back and forth a few more times, but I didn't expect it to be true. The further you go into the lake, the warmer the water becomes. I turned around again to look at the two little demons on the shore who were dying, and shouted, "Look at it! Grandma is about to show her original form!"

My plan was simple, since the lake only cooled when it was close to the shore, I could actually escape safely on the other side of the lake by swimming through the middle of the lake and enduring some cool water, which was perfect!

I made up my mind, and I swam in the water in the direction of the opposite bank, and it was not long before I noticed a very strange phenomenon, the warm water of the lake seemed to be a warm river or stream, into which the cold lake flowed. Because I saw that the water of the lake was blue, but the warmth was golden. I could clearly see that the golden water did not dissolve in the cold water of the lake. It's a beautiful scene, it seems that the blue sky is the sky, and the gold is the Milky Way.

I couldn't help but be fascinated. In this golden river, you have only one thought in your heart, follow it, go to the end of it and have a look. Slowly, my eyes began to become confused, and my consciousness was not clear, and I always felt that there was an extremely slow and beautiful sound of silk bamboo in my ears. The eyes are full of colors, and you can't see everything around you. But my heart was a little clearer, and I kept reminding myself whether it was time to go to the lake to change my breath, thinking like this, my chest seemed to be unable to hold back, and a feeling of squeezing and suffocation of water pressure instantly regained my consciousness.
