Chapter 6: The Demon Body
"Back to the Lord, there are demons wandering near the immortal gate of Xuanfeng Mountain, and they seem to be looking for traces of the coffin, but their subordinates are afraid of exposing the traces of our demon clan and fail to find out before them. β
"Demons? It's really interesting, but that coffin is originally from the demons, normal. β
"That'...... Are your subordinates still there?"
"No, you guys, keep an eye on it, don't expose it. β
"Yes!"
After saying that, Jing Long saluted the demon god on the couch, and then carefully picked up Qu Ning, who almost lost half his life, and slowly retreated. The man on the couch in the hall just blinked slightly, and with a wave of his wide sleeves, he turned into a woman with skin like condensation but not a demon, and the previous purple clothes also turned into a light blue gauze skirt, and his hair was also pulled into a flowing cloud bun, like a fairy ethereal dust. The demon god turned around, and looked back and forth at the water mirror in the hall, very satisfied with this skin.
"Betraying my clan will not end well, it's a pity, it's a pity ......"
Although the male voice mixed with a woman's voice regretted his appearance, he still waved his sleeves expressionlessly and changed into an ordinary mortal man's appearance and prepared to leave.
On the other side, Jing Long and Qu Ning, who had left the palace, were both relieved, looking at the embarrassed Qu Ning, Jing Long was quite helpless to prop up the demon array and immediately cast a spell for it to stabilize the scattered demon qi, Qu Ning highlighted a mouthful of blood, wiped it with his cuffs, and began to complain to Jing Long unconvinced.
"What kind of monster is the demon god, I don't know what the real body looks like, don't say it, why is the temper so bad, I!
"Little aunt, little ancestor, I beg you to shut up, you don't look at what your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys have just shaken, and you are chattering here, you are a snake, not the bird." β
"Don't say it, don't say it, eh, you say, what is the demon god incarnated, you are a dragon, I am a snake, then ......"
Jing Long touched Qu Ning's head, looked around at the half-humanoid demons coming and going in the demon domain and sighed, thinking that this little girl had really practiced for less than a hundred years and didn't know anything, and then directly took Qu Ning's hand and came to a toad essence's shop, bought a decoration with a demon god wooden plaque and left, leaving only the shivering toad spirit messy in the wind.
"The demon god is not the same as us, it existed 10,000 years ago or even longer, according to legend, the demon god seems to be the derivative bloodline of the ancient demon 'class', I don't know men and women, there is no love, and the shape is like a raccoon cat with teeth like a wolf, and the tail is like a hook and claw like a thorn, if you have to say what it is, no one really knows, but we are all under the shadow of the demon god's demon power, so we have this appearance. β
Qu Ning listened to Jinglong tell the story like a storyteller in the world, and at the same time looked at the wooden card of the demon god totem in his hand, and pursed his lips, only to feel that these were more like being used to coax them, a little demon who would transform into a shape.
"Jinglong, according to what you say, except for the Demon God Lord, our demons should all be the same, so why are there still upper-level demon clans and low-level demon clans? β
After hearing Qu Ning's words, Jinglong was also silent, yes, the demon domain and the immortal and demon domains are different, it is not easy to survive, and in order to avoid conflicts with the two domains of immortals and demons, they are basically hiding.
This demon domain is the shelter provided by the demon god to the demons, but the demon god doesn't know the emotion, let alone ask the demons about the tedious affairs of the world, just to ensure that the demon vein can continue, so the demon clan elders have it, and then there is the upper-level demon clan, and finally waited until the war many years ago made the demon clan decline, and the demon clan gradually emerged, but the demon domain is now more difficult
"This shouldn't be our business, the two of us are just running errands for the Lord to find out the news. β
"Also, I'd better go back and rest first, if I wasn't wearing a red dress, I would definitely be covered in blood and swaggering through the market. β
After speaking, Qu Ning dragged a snake tail and twisted it forward, Jing Long looked at the little snake demon who was still like a child and shook his head with a wry smile, and followed with a swagger.
And in the main hall of the Demon Domain Palace, the two demon clan elders were chattering and arguing, only a dignified and unsmiling woman stood straight aside, out of step with the environment.
"It's said that the upper-level demon clan and the low-level demon clan can't communicate on their own, but the regulations are clearly written, how dare you defy the rules of the demon domain palace?"
"It's really a 'thousand-year-old king and eighty-thousand-year-old turtle', I'm afraid that your turtle won't be able to live a long life, right, when have I ever gone out of the demon domain to meet the low-level demon clan, Elder Xu Yan?"
"Hmph, sharp teeth and sharp mouth, since the old man followed the demon god lord, the demon domain has been taken care of in an orderly manner, Elder Zixing, you are so ignorant of etiquette and ignoring the palace rules, the old man will wait for the lord to preside over justice. β
Xu Yan poked the floor of the hall with a cane angrily, and the other man with a disdainful face rolling his eyes did not continue to answer the words, but directly waved his magic and flipped Xu Yan to the ground, and the protruding turtle shell on his back made it even more difficult for him to turn over.
"It's still for you, Xu Yan. β
"You!"
Before Zi Xing and Xu Yan finished arguing, the demon god who turned into an ordinary man instantly appeared in the hall, looking at the posture of the three elders with great interest, the woman on the side took the lead in saluting, and the other two who knew that the demon god was coming also didn't care about the ugliness and saluted respectfully.
"I've seen the Demon God Lord!"
"Zixing, Xu Yan, Half Moon is not allowed to enter the Demon Domain. If nothing happened, they dispersed. β
"Yes!"
Zi Xing responded happily and immediately turned into golden light and left, Xu Yan was on crutches and wanted to say something but found that he was forbidden by the demon god, and his heart deepened a little jealousy towards this demon god who didn't know his true body and didn't care about the world, but his face was full of respect, and he left with fun when he bent down and received the punishment. The demon god who was about to leave was stopped by another elder who was about to be ignored, and his head was tilted with doubts in his eyes.
"Mu Chu, is there anything else?"
"The Lord punished a junior who is about to transform today?"
The demon god turned his head and thought about it, as if he remembered the little snake demon that was swept away by himself because of his belly, looking at Mu Chu's slightly urgent appearance, the demon god was not in a hurry to speak, waiting for Mu Chu to speak by himself.
"It's Mu Chu who trespassed, but when Mu Chu cultivated to the fullest, this little snake demon helped me, and today I accidentally found that she was injured by the Lord, so I asked the Lord for a pill, hoping that the Lord would be perfect. β
"Oh?
The demon god knows that this Mu Chu is a descendant of the ancient Jiaolong lineage, and he must experience a catastrophe when he cultivates - that is, when he cultivates to become a great success, he cramps and peels off his bones, and the original god is born out of the chosen gender and then cultivates into a real humanoid demon body, the demon god understands that the last level is his own protector for Mu Chu, but he didn't expect that the young snake demon would also help her, plus Mu Chu, who has never spoken much, actually opened his mouth to ask for medicine for a little snake demon, the demon god was inevitably surprised, and in the same way, even if the demon god himself was willing to administer medicine, but it was not unconditional.
Mu Chu knew what the Lord was looking for, and Mu Chu would not ask or interfere, but Mu Chu found out a news here, and the little disciple of Xuanfeng Mountain Feichen heard that Yao was taken away by the demons, and he didn't know if he could get the medicine from the Lord. β
Without saying a word, the demon god directly threw out a red pill from his cuff and floated it to Mu Chu, and then turned into a puff of green smoke and left. Mu Chu took the red pill, knowing that this was the Qing Ze Dan that stabilized the demon yuan, his beautiful face couldn't help but show a shallow smile, and when he put the pill in the purse on his chest and was about to leave, Xu Yan, who was on crutches, blocked Mu Chu's way, and after Mu Chu brushed his sleeves to avoid it, he waited for Xu Yan, the old turtle spirit, to speak.
"Before Elder Mu Chu appeared, the old man once thought that he was so heroic, but he didn't expect it to be such a voice that people didn't dare to blaspheme, old and ...... Eh, eh, take it easy!" Without waiting for Xu Yan to finish his nonsense, Mu Chu directly held the double thorns and held Xu Yan's neck hostage, so frightened that Xu Yan's eyebrows and beard were shaking.
"I don't want to waste time with you, you don't have to use that open and secret battle on me. β
"But what if the old man can support you to that supreme position, orβwith the power of the demon god to turn things around? like the body of a man you so much desire?"
Hearing Xu Yan's words, Mu Chu's pupils tightened unconsciously, and the double thorns on his hands pulled Xu Yan's neck out of a bloody mouth, and the treacherous and cunning Xu Yan's eyes flashed with a trace of pride and calculation, and he gently used his cane to pin the sword stab on his neck, and his speech became even more arrogant.
"The old man has always known that you are very bad for the demon god because of this formation, so he kept hunting the male demon Danyuan and used the forbidden technique of your dragon vein to cultivate. Originally, Elder Mu Chu did this thing secretly, but it was a pity that a male demon turned into a worm and escaped and was rescued by the old man, no, it was only by 'coincidence' that he knew Elder Mu Chu's troubles. β
"What does it have to do with you?"
"Since it has nothing to do with the old decay, but the demon hunting and killing the demon, do you think the demon god will let you go? Elder Mu Chu can rest assured, the old decay doesn't want much, and the demon god doesn't care about the world, so it's better to hand over the demon domain that has been taken care of to the right person. β
Mu Chu listened to Xu Yan's words quietly, took back his double thorns after chuckling, took a deep breath and whispered to Xu Yan, who was secretly smug with his beard: "I suddenly feel that what Zi Xing said is quite right, and it is still suitable for you like that." β
So Mu Chu waved his hand and put Xu Yan on the ground against the turtle shell, and then squatted on the ground with his chin in his face with a smile, looking at Xu Yan's painful appearance.
"Xu Yan, you can't help but underestimate me, even if I am dissatisfied with the master? Even if I hunt the Danyuan of the male demon? Do you think that even you, the old turtle spirit, can suppress my Jiaolong? Not to mention that you yourself said that the demon god doesn't care about anything, even if I kill you now, the demon god won't care about half a point. β
Xu Yan immediately knew what stupid thing he had done in a hurry, and before he could open his mouth to beg for mercy, he heard Mu Chu continue: "However, you are still useful to me, so it's good to keep your life for the time being, if he is in a hurry, don't forget what you said, 'Give it to the right person'." β
"The old man knows that the old man knows, and the old man will not refuse. β
After Xu Yan hurriedly finished speaking, Mu Chu left a sneer and walked away with Qing Zedan, Xu Yan, who finally stood up with a cane, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, his eyes became more and more fierce, he didn't expect to be put upside down by the dragon demon, and Mu Chu's words were already reminding him what it was to be a quick start, and he couldn't help but be annoyed by his own recklessness and impatience, and instead went to his lobby to see what news he could control.
When Qu Ning, who returned to the hut, was about to change his clothes, he heard a knock at the door, and directly impatiently threw his clean robe on the bed, rubbed his hair, and couldn't help scolding in his mouth, but when he opened the door and saw someone coming, he closed his mouth very obediently, and he couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face.
Mu Chu, who rushed to deliver the medicine, was also stunned for a long time, thinking that she was in a hurry to deliver the medicine, the little girl would definitely greet her happily as usual, who knew that she would stand at the door in such a daze and listen to the scolding of the mountain gate without repeatedness, and she didn't come back to her senses until the moment she opened the door.
"Ah, Mu, Elder Mu Chu, why are you, I, I thought it was that guy from Jinglong, I'm sorry, I, I'm not ......"
"It's okay, it's not bad to see you so lively, and besides, you forgot, you don't have to call me Elder in private, just call Mu Chu. β
"Okay, okay, Sister Mu Chu. β
Mu Chu, who originally saw Qu Ning, who was full of energy and was still smiling, almost fainted on the spot when he heard Qu Ning's "Sister Mu Chu", and then reluctantly reminded Qu Ning again, and the two of them went into the house to sit down and rest.
"I haven't asked yet, why did Mu Chu come over, I don't have anything, it's not easy to entertain. β
"It's okay, I know that your injury is not light, so I came to give you medicine, oh, this is 'Qing Ze Dan' to stabilize your Dan Yuan and increase your cultivation at the same time, hurry up and eat it." Seeing that the pills on the table were full of aura, Qu Ning swallowed his saliva and immediately hugged Mu Chu and shouted.
"Qu Ning, don't worry about being moved, this is what I asked from the Lord, you should eat it quickly." β
"Oh, good, good, God treats me well, Jinglong just finished sending me true qi, and Mu Chu came to give me the elixir. β
After hearing Qu Ning's words, although Mu Chu was still smiling at Qu Ning, the coldness in his eyes gradually became clear. Not long after Qu Ning swallowed the pill, Mu Chu was about to help him smooth the meridians, Jing Long broke in recklessly with food, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly when he saw Mu Chu, and then lightly put the food on the table.
"I, I don't know, Elder Mu Chu is also here, it's me who is reckless. β
Mu Chu raised his eyelids and looked at Jinglong, and then looked at the little girl sitting next to him, and then stood up with a smile that he thought was enchanting and charming, and then pulled him to sit down with Jinglong's arm, Qu Ning, who was still concentrating, saw that Jinglong and Mu Chu were a little close, and somehow felt a little empty in his heart, these two people are both descendants of dragons, and their appearance and temperament are also very compatible, and his little snake demon is really redundant to compare like this, thinking of this, Qu Ning has lost his previous lively appearance.
Jinglong on one side was really flattered by Mu Chu's drag, and after seeing Qu Ning, he was still a little embarrassed and pushed Mu Chu's hand away, and then moved his body to Qu Ning's side, Mu Chu looked at the expressions of the two, the corners of his mouth hooked a shallow arc, and then squeezed between the two and sat down, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
"You two always like to treat me as an outsider, so it's good to call me Mu Chu directly. β
"Qu Ning can call you that, I think it's better for me to call you Elder Mu Chu. β
Jing Long's face was slightly ugly, but because of his identity, he still replied politely with a breath, but Qu Ning on the other side was still in a daze. Mu Chu raised his eyelids and ignored Jing Long directly, and laid out the dishes in front of Qu Ning's table, but the words in his mouth had a different meaning.
"Jinglong, you are too particular about these rules, you say, is it you who abducted my Qu Ning to be unfamiliar with me. β
"Well, uh, I'll go out and take off the belt, you don't have to wait for me to eat first. β
Qu Ning, who was still in a daze, heard Mu Chu's words, and felt that Mu Chu was probably fond of Jinglong, and the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became, but he didn't want to embarrass Mu Chu, so he used the excuse to slip away.
Looking at Qu Ning who ran out, Mu Chu also got up nervously, thinking, it's bad, don't let the little girl misunderstand anything, before she could rush there, she saw Jing Long stop her, and her serious face cast an inquiring gaze at her, Mu Chu was not to be outdone, and stared at Jing Long directly, Jing Long didn't want to be entangled with Mu Chu, so he immediately turned into a purple light and chased away, leaving Mu Chu alone looking at Qu Ning's clothes on the bed with a self-deprecating face.
