Chapter 155: The Nine-Fold Mountain Range
"So, next, do you want to go back with September?" Qianxue looked at the boy and asked directly.
The young man was stunned for a moment, looked at Jiujiu, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know that she will definitely not be willing to go back with me, but she has not yet performed the coming-of-age ceremony, and if she doesn't go back with me to hold the coming-of-age ceremony, the speed of cultivation will definitely be very slow!"
September looked at the boy and suddenly asked, "What's your name?"
The young man looked at her and said a little shyly, "Hugh, my name is Hugh." ”
September frowned slightly and asked, "Why is there only one word?" She clearly remembered that her mother had more than one word in her name.
The young man lowered his head, but he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Jiu Jiu, a slight red appeared on his face, and his expression was quite shy.
"I haven't had a coming-of-age ceremony yet, so I can't put my last name before my first name. "He wasn't very old, and his youthful face and shy look made it seem like he was younger than he really was.
"Why?" September looked at the young man, his eyes revealed puzzlement, he had never heard of not being allowed to add his surname without a coming-of-age ceremony, this was the first time, just after asking why, she suddenly thought of something, did not go and stared at the young man with wide eyes, and stretched out a finger tremblingly and asked, "You, how old are you?"
He said that he had not yet held a coming-of-age ceremony, does that mean that he is not old enough to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, if he is really the princess of the cat demon royal family, he is his fiancé, but this fiancé is still a minor, oh! Just thinking about her feels excited, what is this?
The young man seemed to guess September's thoughts, and couldn't help waving his hand and said: "No, it's not what you think, my age is already an adult, it's just because if the elf clan marries a woman from the cat demon royal clan in the future, they must hold a coming-of-age ceremony with their fiancée, and only when the two of them receive the ceremony at the same time can they raise their cultivation to the highest point of talent." ”
Jiu Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly, she had been with Qianxue and Mu Qianqing for a long time, even she couldn't help but make this action sometimes, and after thinking for a while, she asked with some hesitation: "You mean, if I am the princess of the cat demon royal clan, if I hold a coming-of-age ceremony, then, my cultivation will improve a lot, right?"
The young man nodded and added, "Yes, not only will your cultivation improve a lot, but also, your cultivation speed in the future will also be very fast, and there is..."
Speaking of this, the young man paused, glanced at September a little shyly, and then continued: "Moreover, your appearance will also change greatly. Maybe it's because he knows that September is his fiancée, so he can't help but be a little shy when he looks into September's eyes.
Qianxue looked at the young man Hugh from the side and said, "Heh!
The young man Xiu didn't blush, but when Qianxue said this, his face turned slightly red, and he stammered a little: "If I had known that she was in the morning, she was... I wouldn't have done that. He explained, while sneaking a peek out of the corner of his eye at September to see her reaction.
Qianxue was amused by his expression and movements, waved her hand, and said, "Okay, don't tease you, you better tell us first, how you got hurt!"
Although this young man's words seem very credible, but Qianxue still plans to delay until dawn, anyway, the purpose of their coming here this time is to find September's parents, if September is really the princess of the cat demon clan, in fact, there is nothing bad, it's just that I don't know if this person's words can be trusted.
Speaking of his injuries, the young man Hugh couldn't help but reach out and touch his wound, which was already intact, where only the torn clothes and the blood that had coagulated.
He sighed slightly before he said, " This mountain range is called the Nine Mountains, the terrain of the mountain range is more complicated, covering tens of thousands of miles, this is just the outer mountain range, I have found a place to rest and camp at night in the afternoon, but who knows but I was unlucky to meet the white-footed ape, the ape's cultivation is about two thousand years, with my strength, it is not his opponent at all, if it is not for the fact that I accidentally hit a man-eating anthill hidden next to the mountain when I escaped, it is estimated that the corpse will be cold, most of the man-eating ants in the man-eating anthill are chasing the white-footed ape, I was injured, fled this way, saw the light of the formation, so I went this way, want to bet on whether the light of the formation is artificial, and see if you can meet a helper. ”
Qianxue was puzzled: "Why do you want to say that the gambling formation is not artificial? Could it be that the formation will shine on its own?"
When the young man heard her ask, he didn't answer immediately, but began to look at Qianxue and Mu Qianqing, and looked at them for a while before saying, "If I wasn't sure that you were also demons, I would really think that you came here from the other five realms." ”
After saying that, he continued: " The Nine Mountains are also a famous place in the demon world, this is a place that stretches across thousands of miles, there are deserts, forests, huge lakes, meadows, swamps, snow-capped mountains and volcanoes, because of these nine different terrain features, so it is called the Nine Mountains, it is said that in ancient times, the nine ancient beasts that died here were killed, so these nine kinds of terrain were formed, in addition to this, there is one more thing that no one can explain so far, that is, at night here, there will be people who can see the formation emitting bright light, but they do not see people, whether such a thing is man-made, or because of some special reason, it is unknown。 ”
Listening to his words, Qianxue and Mu Qianqing glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, they did come here through the formation, and what Hugh saw must be the light of the formation, but why is there so much formation light? Could it be that in this Nine Mountains, in fact, people leave here every day, or rather, someone comes here from the other five realms?
Mu Qianqing frowned slightly, and said: "We really haven't heard of the Nine Mountains, and what you see may indeed be the light emitted by the formation we came here, our home is far away from here, so we need to use the formation to teleport." ”
Hugh nodded and said, "Well, I can understand, after all, the Demon Realm is vast, and it is the largest area in the Six Realms, and almost every powerful Demon Beast Family will have a teleportation formation with clear coordinates, and it is not unusual for you to have heard of the Nine Mountains." The young man said to himself, not knowing that he was framed by Mu Qianqing.
Mu Qianqing also nodded and said, "You said that people often see the light of the formation, is this Ninefold Mountain Range very popular with everyone in the Demon Realm?"
Hugh nodded and said, "Of course, although there are very powerful demon beasts in every different terrain realm of the Nine Mountains, but because of the special geographical environment, there are too many genius earth treasures that can improve cultivation, and almost no demon beasts can withstand such temptations, as long as they cultivate a slightly higher demon beast, they will come to this Nine Mountains to find genius earth treasures." ”
"Have you been staying in this Nine-Fold Mountain Range?" asked September on the side.
Hugh nodded, shook his head again, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Actually, I used to come once a year ten years ago, staying for about three months at a time, and then because something happened to the elves, I didn't come for five years. ”
There was a faint smile on the corner of the boy's mouth, and his gaze was very pure, like a clear spring, which made people feel good.
September heard that he had been here for five years, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, although she had been in the dry forest mountain range for so long, but it was because she had nowhere to go, so she had only been there for hundreds of years, this teenager was naturally different from her, this teenager had his own people, a teenager with a family and clan, staying in one place for five years seemed a little incredible.
Mu Qianqing raised his eyes to look at the young man and asked, "You haven't been back in the past five years?"
Hearing his question, the young man nodded, his eyes revealed a little helplessness, he looked at September, and then said: "Since I have found her, in fact, there are some things that don't hurt to tell her now, after the queen of the cat demon royal clan passed away, the princess disappeared, the demon king closed the door of the secret room, until now, he has not come out, the younger brother of the demon king took the opportunity to take the throne and acted for the throne, and his daughter has become the current princess of the cat demon royal family, and... Moreover, the cat demon king proposed to let the current princess marry me instead of her cousin. ”
Hearing this, Qianxue and several people couldn't help but show surprised eyes, they didn't expect that there would be such a show.
September rolled his eyes and asked, "Since the Cat Demon King Clan now has a new princess, and the Cat Demon King is willing to marry his daughter to you, then what are you doing here waiting for the previous princess?" is it because of that so-called hope?"
The young man hurriedly shook his head and said firmly: "Of course not, I don't even know what that hope is, I don't care what it does, it's just me, even if the current princess and the demon king are willing to let me take the current princess, I don't want to do such a thing, since the one who is most destined for me is the former princess, I naturally won't marry someone else." Hugh's eyes revealed stubbornness, as if it was impossible to change what he had identified.
Everyone was silent for a long time, Qianxue glanced at September with a smile, and it could be seen that September was still a little moved, just by virtue of a calculation and prophecy, this young man could be so persistent, and it seemed that he was also an extremely determined person.
