Chapter 1: The Past

Next Chapter

The starry night is dim, and the waning moon is like a hook.

Xie Qingning, who was only six years old, sat alone in the courtyard, looking at the bamboo forest outside the courtyard that was rolling like waves in the bleak autumn wind, and unconsciously remembered what happened three days ago.

Above the boundless waves, the ink clouds rolled, the thunder roared, the blue lightning rushed like a dragon, and the wind set off the trees that could not see the end to the east and west, almost uprooted, and the fallen leaves and dust dancing wildly in the sky almost obscured everyone's vision, plunging the heavens and the earth into a terrifying scene like an apocalypse.

And as the head of the Lanling Xie family, she was only more than two hundred years old and cultivated to the late stage of Mahayana, as long as she could successfully survive the heavenly tribulation, she could fly to the legendary supreme immortal realm, so such a shocking scene for her, although it was full of danger, she did not have too much fear in her heart.

But Xie Qingning never thought that she would not be able to successfully cross the tribulation, let alone that after she carried the eighth heavenly thunder, the spiritual power in her body would scatter and flee like a leaky wind, and there was no way to stop it.

She was horrified in her heart, and when her panicked gaze swept over the countless monks who had stopped on the shore in the distance to watch her tragedy, the focus of her eyes somehow fell on her fifth cousin Xie Hualing, who was standing quietly in the crowd.

The cup of spiritual liquid she offered to herself before leaving the door floated in her mind, and she smiled and wished her a successful escape, and from then on became the first ascended monk of the Xie family, and she drank it without hesitation.

Xie Qingning, who has long been in the valley, has not eaten anything else for a long time, even if she drinks water, she is always drinking the clear water from the well in the "Dufeng Courtyard", if someone really wants to harm her, it is impossible to get a chance!

Could it really be that there was something wrong with Xie Hualing's cup of spiritual liquid?

Xie Qingning's gaze couldn't help but sharpen, and he couldn't bear the fear of death in his heart and stared at it carefully, only to find that the person standing side by side with Xie Hualing was dressed in black, slender and straight, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and it was actually her Taoist companion Han Xiaoyin.

At this moment, as if sensing her gaze, the expressionless Han Xiaoyin suddenly turned his head to look at Xie Hualing, a gentle and satisfied smile bloomed on his iceberg-like handsome face, and that smile seemed to have some kind of charming power, making the other party also look sideways slightly, and when he looked up at him, his right arm unconsciously wrapped around his waist.

So intimate, so natural, as if the two of them are a rightful couple!

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Xie Qingning's beautiful phoenix eyes suddenly widened, and the coldness at the bottom of his eyes made the temperature between heaven and earth suddenly drop to freezing, and the dark night sky was slowly floating like goose feathers, and the snowflakes were fluttering, instantly spreading a thick layer of white felt on the land by the sea.

However, before Xie Qingning had time to make the dog man and woman pay for their betrayal, the ninth heavenly thunder slammed in, and when her wonderful figure suspended in mid-air slowly fell towards the endless ocean, the long black hair and the complicated but luxurious purple robe fluttering in the sky were wrapped around her pale but perfect face, almost fixed into the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of all the onlookers, making them all stunned but in an uproar.

When Xie Qingning endured the severe pain of being injured by the thunder and turned her eyes to look, she could only see Xie Hualing's extremely cheerful smiling face, as well as Han Xiaoyin's cold and cruel expression, a self-deprecating and remorseful smile bloomed on her face, she slowly closed her eyes, and let her body with thousands of holes fall into the dark deep sea, gradually submerging all consciousness by the cold sea.

Thinking of the tragedy of that life, six-year-old Xie Qingning squinted his eyes, and an astonishing cold light bloomed in his eyes.

Her hands resting on the stone table unconsciously clenched into fists, and two names slowly escaped between her lips and teeth, "Xie Hualing, Han Xiaoyin!" ”

"Who made you so stupid to drink Xie Hualing's spiritual liquid." A man's low, hoarse voice came from beside him, full of sarcasm and disdain.

Xie Qingning's mind slowly sobered up, and he turned his head to look at the black cat sitting on the stone chair next to him.

This cat is much larger than a normal cat, with satin-like hair, black and smooth, and a pair of cat eyes that are ice blue in color, beautiful but with evil spirits, which is daunting.

What's worse is that it not only has a bad temper, but also enjoys life.

For example, now, the stone chair on its body is covered with a thick cushion of worn blankets, and it curls up in it, with cat's eyes half-squinted, as if it is pretending to sleep, and its expression is very pleasant.

Xie Qingning couldn't help but look down at herself, her thin clothes had already been patched up, and the washed white cloak couldn't stop the cold wind pouring into her body at all, making her feel no warmth all over her body.

"That's my business, it's none of your business." Xie Qingning sighed secretly, but he was unwilling to confide in outsiders, especially a cat, full of thoughts and resentment.

In particular, this cat still claims to be her savior, insisting that it was he who forcibly reversed time and space at that time so that she did not die in the catastrophe, but returned to two hundred years ago and was able to start from scratch.

Xie Qingning felt that if this gentleman really had this kind of ability, how could he possess a black cat? I'm afraid that its origin is unknown, so it's not a good thing.

Anyway, in this life, the proud and conceited Xie Qingning returned to his original form, and she was still the orphan daughter of the Xie family, a family of immortal cultivators in Lanling City on the Dongzhou Continent, who had buried her mother's life since she was born, and she had lived for more than two hundred years in her previous life without finding out who her biological father was, so she naturally had no father in this life.

Seeing her get up, she walked towards the stone house behind her, and the stone house was dark and cold, and there was no popularity at all, and the blue eyes of the black cat suddenly widened, and he looked at the dilapidated courtyard door that was tightly closed.

Xie Qingning had just gotten up when she heard the sound of dense footsteps, and suddenly turned around, through the low courtyard wall, she could vaguely see the figures in the bamboo forest, the bright torches were very eye-catching, and it seemed that at least more than 20 people were rushing towards the remote courtyard where she lived.

The memory of the previous life accompanied by three days of recuperation, gradually returned to her mind clearly, she remembered that today was the day when Qin Xue, the mother of the Xie family, drove her out of the house, in her previous life, she sent people under the fence, and lost the protection of the old master Xie Mingfei, it was not unexpected to be driven away, but in this life, she is not a soft persimmon to be slaughtered, since the person who came is not good, let the people of the Xie family take a good look, how she changed her life against the sky and escaped this life!
