"If I say that I am now willingly following you, you ...... Do you still want me?"

It was only when she embarked on the journey alone and experienced all kinds of cruel polishing in the world that Shen Yating realized that her pride in the Dingtian Mountain Range was actually worthless.

Once, she was a genius girl praised by everyone, and she was the object of pursuit by her brothers and sisters, but the Spirit Continent was too vast, and there were too many people who were stronger than her.

She had just broken the soul contract with Ruan Shi and finally got rid of the shackles, and she was determined to do something great in this world. But before continuing to cultivate, she, like Ye Shuo, Luo Dixing and others, encountered the most basic problem of making a living.

With her arrogance, she is not high or low everywhere, and she hits a wall all the way. In the end, I barely found a job as a cashier in a small bank. During this period, she also discovered that there were many female cultivators who were inferior to her own in appearance and strength, and just because she was committed to following another powerful spiritual cultivator, the resources she casually enjoyed every day exceeded her own salary for a month.

Because of her beauty, many people also wanted to take her as a concubine, but Shen Yating at that time always scoffed. She looked down on those women who sold their bodies to seek high positions, and never confused herself with them. However, the reality gave her a series of slaps.

Some of the sisters who were determined to work together with her finally couldn't bear the poverty and threw themselves into the arms of the rich. So she moved out of the cramped staff dormitory, lived in the mansion compound, and when she came back to visit them, she deliberately shook the ring on her hand, and the pride on her face could not be hidden.

And those who gritted their teeth and persevered, some of them were fired by their bosses due to a little negligence at work, and the next days were worse than their own; as for the others, they got up early and greedy every day, and they were so tired that they were all thin and out of shape, just for that little wage. Without any ideals, without the joy of life, they are just slaves of life.

Shen Yating seemed to see her own shadow in them. Their youth, their good years, will be spent in this cookie-cutter work, and they can't see the future...... After a few more years, it is just to find an ordinary person to marry, and then the two of them will continue to be busy until they have spent their lives in firewood, rice, oil and salt...... No, it's horrible, it's not the life she wants!

Finally, Shen Yating gradually realized that in this world, there are not no powerful female cultivators, but most of them have backgrounds and can enjoy a large number of cultivation resources by nature. There are very few people who can really work hard for their future. And because she was born poor, her starting point is already too low, if there is no miracle, basically this life, can only live like this.

In the midst of such despair, she finally began to think about the road, the road that she once despised ...... If she waits a few more years, even her beauty will not exist, then even if she still wants to be someone's concubine, she will have no chance.

It was also in these last months that she heard the news of the rise of the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor and the Vientiane Demon King. And from various gossip rumors, their true identities were judged. At that time, Shen Yating was not without grief and indignation, she also came out of a small village in a small country, why could they be earth-shattering, and she was so unbearable?

The old people of the Dingtian Mountain Range, as far as she knew, these two people were the best mixed. If you can't tie up the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor, then only ......

If you want to commit to those rich people you don't know, it is better to follow this evil family who planted a bad relationship three years ago...... So here she came, to the person she had been desperately trying to escape.

When they first bonded, it was probably destined for a lifetime.

Ruan Shi walked towards her step by step, with a faint mockery on his face: "I didn't know before, it turned out that you were such a woman who saw the wind and steered the rudder?"

Shen Yating bit her lip, suppressed the sorrow in her heart, and faced Ruan Shi, trying her best to show her most charming smile.

On that beautiful face, it is still the same as when he left three years ago, with bewitching makeup, but it has been added a little vicissitudes by the continuous wind and rain.

Will you want me...... Will he want me? Shen Yating's heart was beating hard, and at the same time, she was also sad to find that when he looked at himself with such evil eyes, as if he was evaluating goods, what she felt was not humiliation, but only the fear of being rejected by him. Pretending to unintentionally adjust her stance, trying to show him the curves of her body, now even she herself has regarded herself as a cargo.

Ruan Shi seemed to be deliberately hanging her appetite, and after remaining silent for a long time, he suddenly grabbed her waist violently, pulled her into his arms, and said with an evil smile: "But I like it!"

Leaning on his arms, Shen Yating felt an inexplicable sense of relief. She knew that she had finally made the right bet, she had found a strong enough backer, and compared to the former sisters who served as concubines for the old men at the Qi Accumulation and Qi cultivation levels, her status was already far above them......

Le Fan followed with a smile on his face, already planning in his heart, and he was going to order him to go down later and draw up an edict for the king to seal the concubine......

***

On the other side, Ye Shuo and Shen Xinglie rushed to the forbidden land of the flower field again, but this time they turned over the entire sea of flowers, and they did not find any trace of the old demon king.

"What the hell is that old fellow!" Finally he sat down on the ground in a huff, his head bowed, and he looked very depressed.

"Don't worry, maybe the injuries of the senior have healed, and he really went out again. Ye Shuo tried his best to comfort, "With his old man's strength, it is impossible for him to be assassinated by Ruan Shi." ”

"Nonsense......" Shen Xinglie muttered sullenly, and quickly turned his head like a fried hair, "Who said I was worried about him! I'm just afraid that he will die too soon, and I can't wait to atone for his sin to Prince Yu!"

Ye Shuo shook his head helplessly. Shen Xinglie is really too frank, but from this one thing, it can be seen that he really cares about Yu Ao. There will always be a chance to resolve this old knot in the future......

After sitting in the flower field with Shen Xinglie for a while, the two embarked on the road back.

"In the end, the Demon Domain is still ......occupied by outsiders," Shen Xinglie was dejected all the way, "And that kid now has the support of the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor behind him, and it's not something I can deal with......" Sullen turned his head sideways, and added: "It's not something you can deal with." ”

"It's the Rakshasa Ghost Emperor again, who is he?" At this time, Ye Shuo suddenly understood the feelings of the Six Imperial Demon Lords. He has only been in a coma for three years, and the world has become unrecognizable, so when he wakes up again after a thousand years, what kind of hesitation and helplessness should he be?

"It's the newcomer who has risen during the three years you've been in a coma. Shen Xinglie dutifully explained, "His current status in the Spirit Realm Continent can be said to be second only to Tianxiao Pavilion and the Nine Shadows Palace. Of course, there are some hidden monsters to be excluded...... But even the two giants won't move him easily. And then there's ...... He is the master of the wind and hell. ”

"Yin Wind Hell?" Ye Shuo's eyes widened, why was everything so coincidental? Could it be that he was really ......? No...... No......

"Don't think too much about it, whether he is the kid you killed in the Yin Wind Hell or not," Shen Xinglie saw his thoughts and said lightly, "He will be a great enemy in your future path." Someday it will be faced, but not now. ”

Ye Shuo nodded heavily. Indeed, no matter whether the other party is Luo Di Xing or not, the existence of the peak of the third order of Tongtian is not what he is qualified to touch now.

"I'm sorry, if we had killed the prime minister directly as you said, there might not have been so many changes later. ”

At the beginning, he had promised the old demon king that he would protect the demon clan for him. Later, because of the greed for the inheritance of the demon clan, he delayed the fighter, and now that the demon domain has changed hands, Ye Shuo always feels that he has a great responsibility.

Shen Xinglie sighed, but he didn't mean to blame: "Maybe it's all doomed." Okay, let's go our separate ways here. ”

In the past, the two had an agreement that after Shen Xinglie survived the divine tribulation, Ye Shuo would return him to freedom. In fact, at the moment when he had just been promoted to the god level, the difference in strength between the two sides was significant, and he could already unilaterally terminate the contract, only because of respect for Ye Shuo, he waited until now. However, he was obviously determined to go, and he had to go.

Ye Shuo was bitter in his heart, and he couldn't say a word to save him. Shen Xinglie has been longing for freedom for a long time, and now that he has finally waited for this day, maybe he should be happy for him...... And he really couldn't find any reason to convince the other party to stay.

In terms of kindness, he failed to fulfill the old demon king's entrustment; in terms of strength, he has far surpassed himself; in terms of friendship, it is too hypocritical for cultivators to talk about these things.

In the end, Ye Shuo could only raise his head with a wry smile, and looked at Shen Xinglie, both of whom could feel that the contract built in their souls was slowly dissipating. Layers of blue light surrounded them, and the scenes since they met flashed in their minds again.

"No longer a host, but still a friend. When the contract was completely terminated, Ye Shuo muttered softly.

Shen Xinglie smiled and waved his fist at him: "Always friends." ”

"By the way, there is one thing I should probably tell you......" Before parting, Shen Xinglie's appearance suddenly became a little strange, "Actually, when I was in the Fu Master Gate, I ......"

Scratching his hair irritably, in front of Ye Shuo, who was listening intently, Shen Xinglie swallowed his words again for some reason, "Forget it, you will always know in the future,"

Ye Shuo was inexplicable, but he didn't think deeply about it for a while. Looking at Shen Xinglie, who was striding away, he hesitated again and again, and finally spoke: "That...... Qingxiangxiong asked me to tell you, it doesn't matter if you dress like this in the mountains, but if you want to go to the city, you might as well buy a new set of clothes, right?"

Shen Xinglie waved his hand in a chic manner, and his footsteps did not stop. And in Ye Shuo's mind, Qing Xiangxiong's depressed voice also came at the same time: "Master...... What does this have to do with me?"

Ye Shuo coughed a few times, but fortunately, Qingxiang Xiong didn't delve into it here, looking at the back of Shen Xinglie, his voice was full of envy: "Alas, Shen Xinglie has survived the divine tribulation, when can I ...... it"

"Yes, we're all going to get stronger. Ye Shuo assured Qingxiang Xiong, and he also assured himself.

Three years ago, for a long time, all his efforts were to obtain the Demon Inheritance. Suddenly, this goal was frustrated, and he also had a sense of uncertainty about the future. The most important thing is to get stronger, but now where should he go first, what should he do?

After wandering for a long time, Shen Xinglie mentioned the Fu Master Sect just now, which also reminded Ye Shuo that this Fu Master Guild seemed to owe him a grade certificate...... Now that you have extra time, why don't you take a trip......?

Stepping into the door of the Talisman Guild again, Ye Shuo took a deep breath. After three years, it seems that the changes here are not so big, the buildings are still so splendid, and there are still many hurried staff in the corridor, and they are all with straight faces. The years don't seem to have left too many traces here, maybe even if it is a few hundred years later, it will still be the same.

Standing here, Ye Shuo was a little difficult to tell for a while, was the air he inhaled three years ago, or now? Standing in the gap between time and space, he shook his head slowly, walked to the front desk, and asked about the procedures for receiving the certificate.

"Are you the candidate from three years ago?" the front desk staff was obviously surprised after he introduced himself, "Why didn't you come to pick it up in the first place?"

Ye Shuo's eyes lowered: "In the past three years, I have delayed some things. Why, won't the certificate be gone?" was poked at the pain point, and there was a bit of resistance in his tone.

Several staff members looked at each other, as if they were exchanging some consensus. Then one of them said, "The elder once said that if you come, I will let you go directly to them." ”

Ye Shuo was indispensable, followed by a staff member, and was led by him to a spacious room. While sitting on the chair and waiting, Ye Shuo looked around, it seemed to be a high-rise conference room, with a black marble tabletop, revealing a kind of solemnity and nobility. Naturally, it also brings an invisible sense of oppression.

It didn't take long for the door of the conference room to be pushed open again, and a group of elders walked in one after another, all pinning a dazzling Celestial Rune Master badge to their luxurious robes. It seems that they really attach great importance to themselves as a candidate, otherwise they would not have just gotten the news, so quickly and so together.

Seeing a group of elders sitting down at the other end of the long table, each looking at themselves thoughtfully, Ye Shuo spoke first: "Elders, I'm here to receive the talisman rank certificate and badge. The affairs of the past three years are my private affairs, and they have nothing to do with the assessment. ”

The elders exchanged glances in twos and threes, and they were quite surprised by this young man's preemptive move. In the end, an elder who was sitting in the middle and seemed to have the highest status took the initiative to clear his throat and said with a light smile: "The little brother is very sharp-toothed. So I have a question here that has been bothering me for several years, and I would like you to answer it for you. ”

Ye Shuo smiled dryly: "Since several elders can't think of it, what can the juniors come up with?"

The elder's eyes suddenly crossed a fine light: "Maybe this question is really only you can answer." ”

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, "I want to know, how did you cheat in the spirit rune master assessment three years ago?"
