Flowers bloom in seasons.

But no one knows when the demons will go to war with humans.

Every day.

Xia Fan's life has not changed as usual.

Fish when it's time to fish, carve when it's time to carve, and go out when it's time to go out.

There is calm in every big event.

From the Nether to the Clear Micro Realm.

What wind and waves hasn't Xia Fan experienced?

So how could he possibly let the threat of the demon frighten him?

There are some things that cannot be escaped.

What should come will always come.

It's just that.

That doesn't mean he's going to sit still.

He admitted.

At this stage, he is not the opponent of the Demon King.

After all, every demon king at least has the strength to transform into a god realm, and the strength of demons is generally stronger than that of cultivators in the same realm.

Therefore.

Once against the Demon King.

Xia Fan is bound to die for the rest of his life, and this is still under the premise of burning his longevity.

This is the case with the disparity in strength of the Great Realm.

Such a thing as crossing the border and defeating a strong enemy may occur in cultivators with low cultivation, but it can occur in the realm of Yuan Infant Transformation God is very small.

The higher the cultivation realm.

The more deeply you can understand the gap between different realms.

For example, the quarterly business.

All the way.

The other party has never shown his true identity.

Every time he appeared in front of him, it was his external incarnation.

But even this incarnation made Xia Fan feel elusive and terrifying strength.

In other words.

Ji Shang himself didn't have to make a move.

An avatar can kill yourself.

This shows the horror of the god realm boss.

What if it is replaced by the demon king Luo Xuan in Ji Shang's mouth?

Maybe Xia Fan can't even escape.

Time is running out!

on this.

Xia Fan could only sigh with emotion.

However, it was all his own choice.

So he never regretted it in his heart.

In other words, when he was young and just came out of the mountain.

Maybe he will also imitate the shopkeeper Tong.

The amount is wrong, the amount is really wrong, and the amount should not have been what it was in the first place......

But at this age.

He won't anymore.

Is it useful to regret it? Could it be that he can still travel through and be reborn?

Life is made up of countless choices, and each different choice will create a different life for individuals.

And many of these choices will be regrettable decisions.

But so what?

Because this is fate, the fate of man.

And it is a fate that is made by one's own choices again and again.

"Meng Xihua, do you want to end your punishment period early?"

Night.

Xia Fan said leisurely lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard.

"Yes. ”

Meng Xihua, who was standing behind him, replied without thinking about it.

"Do something for me, and when it's done, you'll be free. ”

Xia Fan said in a casual tone.

"Dare to ask what's the matter?"

Meng Xihua said directly.

"So so...... This and that...... Do you understand?"

Xia Fan said it simply.

“...... Got it. ”

After hearing this, Meng Xihua was silent for a moment and said.

"After this is done, you and I will not owe each other. ”

Xia Fan said in a calm tone.

“...... Got it. ”

Meng Xihua said in a deep voice.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask?"

Xia Fan couldn't help but say something when he saw that Meng Xihua had not moved for a long time.

"Please forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the liberty of the matter, do you still need to hide this matter from the owner of the East Village?"

Meng Xihua said without hesitation.

"Yes. ”

Xia Fan said without thinking.

“...... understood, then he retired first. ”

After speaking.

Meng Xihua saluted respectfully and quietly left the courtyard.

"Ah Chao, how is the progress of the things that I ordered you to collect and investigate?"

It didn't take long.

Xia Fan seemed to be talking to himself in the empty courtyard.

"Shopkeeper, these are all the information I have collected and sorted out temporarily. ”

Immediately.

Ah Chao's voice sounded in his ears.

Then he handed him a jade talisman.

After Xia Fan took the jade talisman and sensed the contents recorded in it, he casually threw the jade talisman back to Ah Chao.

"It might be hard for you in a while. ”

"I don't know what the shopkeeper is referring to?"

Ah Chao was puzzled.

"When the time comes, I will send Cailing and them to the Golden Bird Dynasty, and you will be tasked with protecting them in the future. ”

Xia Fan didn't hide it in the slightest.

"What about you, the shopkeeper?"

Ah Chao was stunned.

"Naturally, I'll stay at the lodge. ”

Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Why didn't the shopkeeper leave with us?"

Ah Chao immediately asked.

"I wanted to leave if I could, but I couldn't. ”

Xia Fan shook his head and said.

“......”

Ah Chao immediately fell silent when he heard this.

"After arriving at the Golden Bird Dynasty, Meng Xihua will make corresponding arrangements, and if you encounter a situation that cannot be solved, you can contact her directly. ”

Xia Fan continued.

“...... Shopkeeper, are you all right?"

Ah Chao said suddenly.

"No, it won't. ”

Xia Fan suddenly smiled.

"Shopkeeper, I will definitely do what you ask. ”

Ah Chao said solemnly.

"I'm relieved to have you here. ”

Xia Fan's smile remained unchanged.

Moment.

Ah Chao left.

Xia Fan was left alone in the courtyard again.

As the night deepens.

He was still lying in his rocking chair and did not move.

"The Shopkeeper's ......"

A soft voice suddenly sounded cautiously.

"Peach, you've come just in time, come with me. ”

Hearing the voice, Xia Fan knew who it was.

He stood up from his rocking chair, stretched his waist, and then smiled and beckoned to Peaches, who were tiptoeing not far away.

Peaches stepped forward with complicated eyes but didn't say a word, and then slowly came to the lake in the back mountain under the leadership of Xia Fan.

The two of them stood on the shore of the lake, quietly admiring the bright moon reflected on the lake.

This is not the first time Momoko has come to the lake of the back mountain.

In the past, when Xia Fan came to fish or go boating.

Every now and then, I will greet Peaches.

"By the way, is there something wrong with coming to me so late?"

I don't know how long it took.

Xia Fan lowered his body and picked up some flat stones, and asked seemingly casually while making a splash in his hand.

“...... Shopkeeper, have you been on your minds lately?"

Momoko opened her mouth apprehensively, but finally mustered up the courage to ask.

"How do you know I have something on my mind? Do you see it? Or did Cailing tell you?"

Xia Fan smiled disappreciatively.

“...... It was mainly told to me by Sister Cailing. ”

Momoko bit her lip and said.

And Peaches saw a little bit of it. ”

"Momoko, do you think I'm the kind of person who writes things on my face?"

Xia Fan shook his head and said.

"Of course the shopkeeper is not that kind of person, just ......"

Momoko lowered her head and whispered.

"A woman's intuition?"

After throwing the stone in his hand, Xia Fan clapped his hands and said.

“......”

When Momoko heard this, she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Peach, I know that you and Cailing get along very well now, sometimes some things that she is inconvenient to ask will often let you do it for you, normally, I will say what I should say, and I will say what I shouldn't say, because I know that you won't tell Cailing what you shouldn't say......"

Xia Fan came to Peach, stretched out his hand and stroked her head.

"But this time things are a little different, and all I can tell you is that I'm going to be fine. ”

“...... Shopkeeper, are you telling the truth?"

Peaches slowly raised her head, her eyes flashing with a hint of tears.

"Fake. ”

Xia Fan said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper!"

As soon as Peaches heard this, she subconsciously raised her clenched fist and smashed it on Xia Fan's chest.

Soon.

The two of them sat down on the shore of the lake.

"Shopkeeper, what are you thinking?"

Seeing Xia Fan looking at the lake in front of him with a distracted gaze, the peach who was silently observing him couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Momoko, sometimes do you think I'm a particularly boring person?"

Xia Fan said absent-mindedly.

"Ahh

Momoko was stunned for a moment.

"My life was supposed to be interesting, but now I'm making myself very boring. ”

Xia Fan shrugged his shoulders and said.

"This, is the shopkeeper dissatisfied with his current self?"

Momoko thought for a moment.

"I can't talk about satisfaction, and I can't say I like it. ”

Xia Fan shook his head and said.

"I remember someone saying that life is ordinary, and no matter how wonderful life was in the past, it will eventually return to ordinary...... For more than 20 years, I have tried my best to live an ordinary life, but then I suddenly found that I can adapt to the ordinary life, but I can't get used to the ordinary life for a long time. ”

“...... Why?"

Momoko said confusedly.

"Momoko, I'm not even a hundred years old now, but do you know how long I can live?"

Xia Fan turned his head to look at Peaches and smiled.

“......”

Momoko subconsciously shook her head and said.

"Actually, I don't know how long I'll live, if I'm lucky, I might be able to live until I'm old, and if I'm unlucky, I'll die in a few years. ”

Xia Fan said lightly.

"You know what? For ordinary people, being able to live a long life is already the greatest happiness, but for people like us, 100 years old may be just the beginning of life. ”

“......”

Peaches looked at Xia Fan in confusion.

“......”

Xia Fan didn't continue.

Turning his head, he looked back at the calm lake in front of him.

Actually, he didn't know why he was talking to Momoko about these things.

Even if he knew that Momoko didn't understand.

Maybe.

Probably.

Momoko is the only one who listens to him and even tries to understand and comfort herself.

Xia Fan's world is more than just peaches.

But the world of peaches is only Xia Fan.

Get along all these years.

Peaches is still waiting silently for herself without regrets.

She is different from Dong Cailing.

Momoko's liking for him is undoubtedly more pure.

It was so pure that Xia Fan couldn't bear to hurt her at all.

However.

Before he didn't give Peaches a name.

It is already the biggest damage to the peach.

But he has now made his decision.

If he survives this time.

He will no longer live up to Peach's affection.

Is this a FLAG?

Before I knew it, another year had passed.

throughout the year.

The territory of the Asuka Dynasty is generally uneventful.

But a sudden invitation broke the peace of the Forest Mist Villa.

This is an invitation letter from the Asuka Michimeng.

According to the content of the letter.

Roughly speaking, the demons everywhere are now ready to move, and there is always the possibility of war with humans.

Therefore, the Golden Bird Dynasty took precautions to integrate the battle line in case of contingencies, so it sent envoys to inform all parties of the sect and Taoist alliances, and when the time came, they would discuss major matters within the Golden Bird Dynasty.

And the Asuka Dao Alliance received a message from the Golden Bird Dynasty.

It's just that.

Unexpectedly, the Flying Bird Dao Alliance sent an invitation letter to Lin Wu Villa.

I hope that Dong Cailing will be able to go to the Golden Bird Dynasty together.

Dong Cailing knew what was going on as soon as he looked at the invitation.

Is she eligible to join the team that travels to the Golden Birds?

No doubt.

No.

She's not stupid.

So I realized at the first time that it was not so much to invite myself, but to invite Xia Fan.

About Xia Fan's identity strength.

This is highly classified in the Flying Bird Dao Alliance, and only a very small number of Jindan Realm monks and martial saints know about it.

It was through them that Luo Xuan's people learned about Xia Fan's existence.

After all.

There are some secrets that cannot be hidden.

"Husband, what do you think about this invitation, and now the Asuka Dao Alliance is still waiting for our response?"

Soon after I got the invitation.

Dong Cailing directly approached Xia Fan to ask for his opinion.

"The Golden Bird Dynasty, it's a place for outstanding people, Cailing, have you ever wanted to go to the Golden Bird Dynasty?"

Xia Fan took the invitation and glanced at it, and then pretended to be careless.

"If there is a chance, of course Cailing wants to go to the Golden Bird Dynasty to see it, but ......"

Speaking of which.

Dong Cailing couldn't help but sigh lightly.

When I was young.

Who hasn't longed for the world outside of the Asuka Dynasty.

She admitted.

When she received the invitation, she did feel a little moved.

Pity.

Reason quickly gained the upper hand.

If she is not the owner of Forest Misty Villa.

If she has the cultivation strength of the Jindan Realm, etc.

Maybe she still has the idea of going to the Gorse.

After all, the trip to the Golden Bird Dynasty is also about the war between demons and humans.

"No one will stop you if you want to go, and you don't have to have any scruples. ”

Xia Fan said in a calm tone.

"But ......"

Dong Cailing frowned lightly.

"How can there be so much, but ah, although the Asuka Dao Alliance did send this invitation for the sake of my face, but it also shows their attitude, if we don't send someone over, it's hard to guarantee that they will be cranky. ”

Xia Fan pretended to be absent-minded.

“...... So, is the husband going to promise them to go to the Golden Bird Dynasty?"

Dong Cailing was silent for a moment.

"No, you're wrong, it's not me, it's you. ”

Xia Fan glanced at her and said lightly.

"If I go, who can guarantee that something will happen to you if you stay in the villa, but it's different if I stay...... Besides, you've been busy with the affairs of the mountain villa all these years, and it's time to go out and see the world. ”

“...... Husband, why don't you forget it. ”

Dong Cailing thought for a long time and shook his head.

"Otherwise, if you think about it again, there is still time anyway. ”

Xia Fan waved his hand casually.

At all costs.

This time, Dong Cailing must leave.

It's not just her, but also Peaches Ah Chao them.

So.

Only then can he stay without distractions and face the great enemy of the future.
