Three years later.

The Great Forest of Broken Souls.

The ancient trees are towering and green.

A quaint manor house sits at the junction of the outer and inner walls of the forest.

At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black 10,000-year-old sunken wood plaque, on which the dragon flies and dances with four big characters - dragon roaring Jiyue.

The exquisite pavilions and pavilions in the manor, the corridor waist is many, and the eaves are pecked. The carved and embroidered thresholds between the beams are hidden in the quiet spirit bamboo, which is simple and clear, and the charm is natural.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

A figure of a woman in a red practice uniform staggered from a distance, dragging the body of a fanged demon pig with great difficulty in her right hand, dragging out a long trail all the way.

"Hmm."

The white-bearded old man leaned on the ancient tree in front of the manor, leisurely crossed Erlang's legs, glanced casually, and sighed lazily, then stopped caring about it, and leisurely enjoyed the sunshine.

The old man closed his eyes and opened his lips.

The green jade gourd suspended in the air automatically spun down and tilted, and a piece of jade liquid elixir shot out of the gourd like a trickle, and flowed into the mouth accurately, trickling without leaking.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

In an instant.

The red figure dragged the demon pig to the foot of the ancient tree out of breath.

He raised his head, glared at the old man coldly, and called a few more times.

The woman is about thirteen years old, her skin is better than snow, her lips are like a dot, her willow eyebrows are cuidai, and her long curly eyelashes are bright and clear Danfeng eyes.

The long black hair was naturally draped behind his back, gently tied up with a red ribbon, and had a light aura of his own.

She stood there with a natural and noble and arrogant temperament.

The old man bowed his head.

Looking at the slight anger in the woman's beautiful eyes, her eyebrows trembled slightly, and she smiled. Quickly dodged, came to her, and approached her with a flattering face.

"Oh, my precious apprentice is back? Come on, let's take a look, what delicious food did you catch today? ”

“……”

Long Xiyue couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She really thinks that her master is really a little unreliable, where is this a little bit of a master's demeanor?

His face was slightly dark, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared coldly at the green jade gourd: "Master, you promised me to drink less." ”

Sou!

The old man's pupils shrank, his heart trembled, and with a whoosh, the green jade gourd turned into a white light and disappeared.

"I didn't drink much, just one sip, hehe...... Hey hey ......"

The old man laughed awkwardly.

Long Xiyue glanced at him faintly, and rolled her eyes again. Morsel? Oh, she thinks it's 50 "bites", right?

She raised her hand to stroke the messy hair on her sideburns, and said angrily, "Only this fanged demon pig was found in the capture array in the west today, and there was nothing in the other directions. Oh yes, and this. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few reddened ginseng whiskers from his arms, stretched out his hand and handed them to the old man.

The old man took it, coughed clearly, and instantly straightened up, he carefully observed the ginseng whisker in his hand, and stroked his long white beard.

"Yo? This is the nine-song spiritual ginseng that has passed the eight songs, a good thing, it seems that it has grown spiritual wisdom and strayed into the formation.

Good boy, you roast the demon pig first, and then go and pick the spirit ginseng back first. ”

The words were still in my ears, and the figure disappeared into the forest.

The old man flashed.

Slip faster than the wind.

Touching his heart with his hand, he has to leave first, his little apprentice broke out after a while, that's not good, his little apprentice's temper is getting worse and worse, and he is really afraid of the teacher.

Long Xiyue was speechless for a moment, and held her forehead.

Really, is she so terrifying? She thinks she's still very gentle.

A look of helplessness flashed in his eyes, he sighed lightly, and resigned himself to begin to deal with the demon pig and prepare dinner for the two.

……

As the sun sets, the silence rises like a mist.

in the courtyard of the manor.

Long Xiyue was busy sprinkling seasoning on the roasted demon pig on the firewood. The grease on the demon pig fell into the fire in large drops, listening to the sound of sizzling on the fire, followed by a light popping sound, mixed with the fragrance of pine wood, it made people scratch their hearts. Although I haven't eaten it yet, I already expected it to taste good.

The night of the Great Forest of Broken Souls is extremely dangerous, even a hundred times more dangerous than the day. However, it is safe to rest assured here, because the manor has its own defensive formation, and the master has even arranged the Nine Abyss Ecstasy Array within a radius of 100 miles.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, I can already smell it ten miles away, it's really appetizing!"

An exclamation came from afar.

In less than a breath, a white figure was already sitting opposite Long Xiyue.

Besides her crane-haired and child-looking master, who else?

"Come, come, come, hurry up and cut a knife for the teacher."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Long Xiyue to make a move, he picked up the "Dragon Gill" dagger, the seventh-ranked weapon in the "Top Ten Artifact List", and cut it on the pig's leg.

The dagger cut off one piece after another, and before it cooled a little, it was steaming, and with the still churning grease, it tore a big bite, and the magic pork was roasted to the outside and tender on the inside, and the fat was overflowing.

Wow! It's so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue!

Scold.

Long Xiyue sighed lightly, ignoring the master's behavior, she saw that the demon pig was indeed roasted, slowly cut a few pieces and served them to the master, and then ate them deliciously.

She eats very fast, but her demeanor is indescribably elegant and calm, and her whole body naturally exudes the awe-inspiring and proud royal nobility, which is difficult to ignore.

"Satisfied! My apprentice's barbecue skills are simply the best in the world. Apprentice, tomorrow is your birthday, thirteen years old, how long have you been apprenticed? ”

"Three years."

"It's been three years."

"It's delicious, it's delicious, come on, come on, and give a few pieces to the teacher."

……

***

Following.

Boudoir.

The first rays of the morning sun woke up Long Xiyue, and today was her thirteenth birthday.

Ahh

Long Xiyue covered her mouth sleepily, yawned for a long time, and walked leisurely to the copper basin filled with water with her bare feet, ready to wash her face and rinse her mouth.

In this world, a cleansing spell can make a person's whole body feel completely refreshed. However, for her, the living habits of her previous life have been firmly established, and she always feels that if she doesn't wash her face and brush her teeth, she will have bad breath.

What gift will the master give her?

The first two years were all night pearls, and this year it is estimated that it will be the same, right? I miss the taste of the birthday cake, strawberry cream, Black Forest, tiramisu......

Long Xiyue rubbed her face with a wet silk cloth, reminiscing about the deliciousness of her memory.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a small oval stone and a jade-like white ring on the table.

Not?

Puzzled, he casually put the silk cloth on the copper basin, and walked to the table.

See, there is a small note pressed under the stone, which is the master's handwriting-

Xiao Qi opened up and entered the source gas.

In her last life, her code name in Longmen was "Dragon Seven". In this life, the master said that she was ranked seventh among his apprentices, and there were six senior brothers above, and she was also the only female apprentice, so the master also liked to call her Xiaoqi.

For her?

Without thinking much about it, she pinched the small stone in her hand, and the source qi of heaven and earth flowed down her qi to the palm of her hand, and then poured into the stone.

Then, white light flickered, and an illusory figure with white beard and white hair burst out from the stone.

"Master!"

But it startled Long Xiyue.

The old man stroked his beard, looking like a fairy wind and bones, but with a hippie smile on his face.

"Happy birthday, baby! The Sumeru Moon Spirit Ring is a birthday gift from the teacher, and you can recognize the Lord by dripping blood, and there are things left to you by the teacher. In addition, 'Dragon Roaring Jiyue' is a mansion source vessel refined for the teacher, and the teacher has concluded a contract for you. Happy? Hehehehehe......"

The old man's phantom swayed and winked playfully at Long Xiyue.

Long Xiyue: "......"

"Good apprentice, the teacher is from another plane, if you break through to the source emperor one day, you can check the other shadow stone left for you by the teacher, you can come to this plane to find the teacher and your senior brothers."

Immediately.

The old man's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he said with a solemn expression.

"Xiao Qi, when you were only ten years old, someone used such a vicious and precious poison as 'Soul Eater and Broken Intestines' against you, it can be seen that the enemy behind you is very powerful, and you must not take it lightly!

Remember, when you don't have enough strength, hide it! Don't be strong, and don't let the world know you're alive. ”

Poisoning, she is aware.

She once heard the master say that he rescued her in a mass grave, except for the bloody hole of the dagger left in the heart, the body was covered with knife marks, and there were all kinds of traces of torture and beating.

When he healed her, he found that she had also been poisoned by a poison called "Soul Eater", which ranked fifth on the "Heavenly Poison List".

This poison is extremely precious and rare, and with the strength of the Long family, it should be impossible to have such a poison. But it appeared on her body. This situation is well worth investigating.

The old man's clear eyes flashed slightly, and he sighed helplessly, stroking his beard and stroking his beard.

"Xiao Qi, in the future, I can't protect you as a teacher, practice hard and improve my cultivation as soon as possible!"

After speaking, the lime disappeared, and the figure of the old man also turned into smoke and dissipated into the air.

“……”

Long Xiyue looked at the place where the master disappeared in a daze.

The clear phoenix eyes gradually dimmed, and the heart, a little bit cooled, as if in an ice cellar......

She slowly closed her eyelids, her heart aching, and a strong sense of loss filled her heart......

In her previous life, she had never met Longmen's parents and was brought up by three old directors of Longmen. In this life, her parents disappeared since she was a child, and her grandfather was not by her side all the year round, but her most trusted sister took her life with her own hands.

Now, is even the master leaving?

Will she be the only one left in the future......

Three years ago, it was the master who rescued her from the mass grave, and it was a life-saving grace for her. In the past three years, I have tried my best to teach her.

It can be said that without the master, she would have become a piece of meat in the belly of the beast, and she would no longer exist in this world.

Long Xiyue treats her master as a master and her father, and she will inevitably be sad.

A fiery tear slipped from the corner of her eye......

......

Half an hour later.

Long Xiyue, who has two lifetimes of experience and a mature soul at the core, is not the kind of woman who likes sorrow and joy and autumn moons and sighs to herself.

She took a few deep breaths, slowly suppressed the churning emotions in her heart, and gradually calmed down.

She knows that in the future, the only thing she can rely on is herself!

Then.

Long Xiyue's beautiful eyes stared at the white moon spirit ring resting on the table.
