Chapter 31, Nourishing the Divine Pearl

When Su Zhi regained consciousness, he instinctively made a wave of his hand to pick up the water, but this time, he didn't feel the fluctuation of the water flow.

"Where is this?"

Su Zhi tried his best to open his eyes and looked around, but it was dark all around, and he couldn't see anything other than darkness.

"It would be nice to have night vision, but unfortunately I'm not there yet. But it's also fast, and when I break through the late stage of Qi refining, I should be able to see at night. Coming to an unfamiliar environment, and not being able to see, Su Zhi felt for the first time how necessary night vision was.

However, since he couldn't see it, Su Zhi simply closed his eyes, sat down cross-legged, and began to recover his mana.

About two hours passed, Su Zhi's mana finally recovered most of it, he closed his eyes and flicked his fingers, a fireball appeared in the air to illuminate the four directions, feeling the brightness beyond his eyelids, Su Zhi adapted for a while, and slowly opened his eyes.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I was shocked when I saw it.

As soon as Su Zhi opened his eyes, his whole body immediately tensed, because not far from him, there was a waterhole that was reflecting white light, and in this waterhole, a huge black thing was coiled there motionless, and the most striking thing was that there was a crimson sword stuck in the top of its head.

"Isn't this monster dead yet?" Su Zhi stared at the octopus monster intently, not daring to slack off at all.

"It's supposed to be dead!"

After not seeing the octopus monster make any moves for a long time, Su Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, he was also nervous just now, and wanted to feel it carefully, this octopus monster obviously has no life fluctuations.

"Are you awake?"

Just when Su Zhi's hanging heart was just put down, a woman's voice came from the direction of the octopus monster.

Hearing this faint voice, Su Zhi's hair stood up, "Who!"

Su Zhi drank, but after a few breaths, he didn't get any response, "Pretend to be a ghost!" Su Zhi snorted coldly, his mind was highly concentrated, and he began to look for the source of the sound, but no matter how hard he tried, he didn't find it at all.

"Why bother looking around, am I not right in front of your eyes?" a faint voice came out again.

"In front of you?"

Su Zhi was a little confused, so there was obviously only a dead octopus monster in front of him, how could there be anyone?

'Octopus monster'?

Thinking of these three words, Su raised his head stubbornly and stared at the 'dead' octopus monster.

"That's right, that's me. ”

As if to prove Su Zhi's guess, after she said this, a cloud of green smoke slowly drifted out of the octopus monster, and finally turned into a gorgeous-looking woman.

"You're human! how is this possible?" Su Zhi exclaimed, and then immediately denied his own idea.

He had thought that this monster should be a demon, but he didn't feel any demonic energy, and now reality told him that this monster was actually transformed by a human, how could he believe it.

"Yes and no. ”

Hearing Su Zhi's exclamation, the woman transformed by the octopus monster replied with some amazement.

"Is it or not?" Su Zhi was a little unhappy, whether the other party was human or not, Su Zhi didn't have the slightest affection for him, and now he was in no mood to play word games with the other party.

"I guess it used to be. The woman sighed, and then added, "Childe would like to hear a story from the concubine." ”

"I want to hear it!" Su Zhi didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he had to deal with it and said, during which he put his hands behind his back, and the mana in his hands surged, if there was any accident, he would immediately take action.

"Childe don't worry, the concubine is already dying. As if seeing Su Zhi's movements, the woman said softly with a sense of sadness.

"Oh, why is that?" asked Su Zhi, but the mana in his hand had no intention of dissipating.

The woman glanced at him and said lightly, "If you die, can your soul stay for a long time?"

Hearing the woman's words, Su Zhi's hand finally let go, this sentence, at this moment, he thought too much.

"Say!"

Su Zhi replied with only one word, but the woman bowed deeply to him and said, "The concubine is originally one of the seven families in Moon City, Xie Yiyi, the daughter of Xie Yun. ”

"Are you sure?" Su Zhi frowned, he remembered that Xie Yun was killed by her own hands.

"Gongzi may not believe it, but the concubine is indeed the daughter of Xie Yun. Xie Yiyi looked at Su Zhi and said seriously again.

"Two years ago, I was still living like a fairy couple with my husband in the Xie family until the Mid-Autumn Festival that year."

Regardless of whether Su believes it or not, Xie Yiyi continued to say to herself with reminiscences, "Every moonlit night in Moon Lake, a poetry contest will be held, and in previous years, my husband would be accompanied by me every time he participated, but that time, I didn't go because I was unwell." ”

Speaking of this, her eyes were full of remorse, "After the competition, my husband was afraid that I would regret not seeing the moonlit night that year, so he rented a small boat and personally wrote and ink, wanting to draw a picture of the Mid-Autumn Festival moonlit night for me." ”

But because of this painting, he overheard the conversation between the Lord of the Seven Families and Princess Luohu. Saying this, Xie Yiyi's face became resentful.

"Did he hear something he shouldn't have heard?" asked Su Zhi.

At that time, the Lord of the Seven Families was discussing with Princess Luohu about selling illicit salt. After my husband was captured, because my father came forward, Princess Na Luohu did not embarrass him, and even gave him a gift. ”

"Oh, this Princess Luohu would be so kind?" Su Zhi asked again.

"Of course that slut won't be so kind and give a gift, that's because that slut has a crush on my husband. "It seems that as soon as the name Luohu is mentioned, Xie Yiyi's face is full of resentment, and even the title has become 'slut'.

"After my husband knew, for my sake, he naturally refused to obey the slut in Luohu, and the slut persuaded my husband again and again, but it had no effect, and finally moved to kill, she threatened my husband on the grounds that the Xie family bought and sold private salt, saying that if my husband did not agree, he would copy the entire Xie family, and my husband had to be wronged and agreed to the slut. ”

"But you don't know what he's doing. Su Zhi also sighed, hearing this, he had completely believed Xie Yiyi's words.

"That's right, at that time I thought that my husband had betrayed me, and in a fit of rage, I committed suicide by throwing myself into the lake with the fetus in my arms. Xie Yiyi said sadly, her body couldn't help but tremble, and her tone was choked.

"After I threw myself into the lake, the body was eaten by the octopus, but instead of dying, I took control of the octopus's shell. Because of my resentment, this octopus has also mutated, until now. ”

"Then how do you know that your husband didn't betray you?"

Su Zhi was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that after turning into an octopus, Xie Yiyi should not know all this.

"That's because, in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, my husband came to the place where I threw water. Xie Yiyi was a little nostalgic and sad.

"Did he throw himself into the water?"

Su Zhi whispered, and even a little sad, such a strong infatuated man and woman, but unfortunately ended up like this.

That's right, he cried and said to the lake, all this is a plan set up by Xie Yun's beast, Xie Yun because he was afraid of offending Princess Luohu, so he sold his own daughter and gave away his son-in-law. Hehe, this is really my good father!"

At the mention of Xie Yun, Xie Yiyi laughed, but this laughter was indeed so bleak and sad.

"Although I arrived in a hurry, it was too late, and when I arrived, my husband was already dead. The moment he died, I went crazy, I was completely crazy, I frantically gnawed at his corpse. ”

"Why?" Hearing this, Su Zhi frowned.

"Because I'm going to be with him forever. Eat him, and we will be together forever. Xie Yiyi yelled hysterically, like a madman.

"Eat him, be with him. ”

Su Zhi muttered, looking at Xie Yiyi for a long time, this woman was afraid that she was really crazy at that time.

"From then on you started killing people, anyone who entered the lake. Because you think they're robbing you and your husband of their home?"

"That's right!" Xie Yiyi replied, seemingly just as he should be.

Hearing Xie Yiyi's answer, Su Zhi was silent for a long time before speaking again, "Then why are you telling me this?"

"Help me kill that slut in Luohu, and in exchange, this will be given to you. Xie Yiyi said without refusal, and then opened his mouth and spit out a gray bead.

"Are you so sure, I'll help you?" Su Zhi was a little displeased with Xie Yiyi's strength.

"Yes, I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it all has something to do with it. I'm a dead person, and you can imagine how powerful it is, don't you want it?"

Although she saw that Su Zhi was dissatisfied, she was still sure that Su Zhi would agree to her.

"I naturally want this pearl, but I also have my own principles, and I don't have to agree to your request if I want this pearl, if I kill you, this pearl will naturally be available. Su Zhi's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes were cold, he wasn't joking, you must know that Xie Yiyi almost killed him before.

"You!!" Xie Yiyi couldn't imagine that Su Zhi would actually say like this, she thought about her current situation, and finally gave in and sighed; "If you lose this pearl, the concubine body is afraid that she will disappear in this world immediately, is it that the concubine body is the last wish, and the son refuses to agree?"

Since spitting out this pearl, Xie Yiyi's whole person has languished, and Su Zhi also knows that she is not lying, but this does not mean that he agreed.

Although the Chu State is governed by the Falling Star Sect, the Kwai Water Sect and the Luoyun Sect in turn, there are also old monsters in the royal family of the Chu State, and if they agree rashly, it is equivalent to having another powerful opponent.

As for deception, Su Zhi doesn't dare, a person who cultivates immortals, first of all, has to be able to understand his mind, if Su Zhi agrees and doesn't do it, this will definitely affect his cultivation in the future.

"Last question, since you are so unwilling, why didn't you occupy my body when I was unconscious?" Su Zhi stared into Xie Yiyi's eyes and asked. Ever since he heard Xie Yiyi say that he controlled the octopus monster, he had wondered if Xie Yiyi had ever wanted to control his body.

Xie Yiyi looked at Su Zhi's gaze, hesitated for a while, and replied truthfully, "The concubine admits that she did think about controlling the childe's body, but the concubine body can't get close to the childe, and as soon as I get close, I will be blocked by an invisible force." It is precisely because of this that the concubine will come out to meet her son. ”

After receiving Xie Yiyi's answer, Su Zhi knew that it was the white jade butterfly that was powerful, and he snorted angrily and said, "Give me this pearl, I promise you that if I meet Luohu in the future, and I have the ability, I will help you kill her." ”

After speaking, Su Zhi added non-negotiable, "This is the maximum I can promise." ”

Xie Yiyi originally wanted to say something, but when he heard Su Zhi's words, he finally sent out the beads, and then bowed to him again, and completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
