Wet viviparity

Chapter 734 Fulfilling the Wishes of My Elder Sister
Black Owl and Little Green Girl arrived at the cave entrance one after the other. Little Green Girl followed behind and, upon hearing the voice, said shyly to the Ugly Mourning Girl inside the cave, "Sister, you never used to say such nice things to me. How come you have such a clever tongue today!"

The Great Green Maiden's cave is hidden in a corner of the lake, inconspicuous, among ancient moss and trees, and is difficult for ordinary people to find unless they come by chance.

From the steps leading to the cave, one can see sparse reeds and thin smoke, a few clumps of cold reeds rustling in the wind, and occasionally the shadow of a crane skimming across the water, its clear cry adding to the sense of desolation.

The door at the entrance of the cave is simple, made of old bamboo as the frame and plain vines as the binding, forming a simple wooden door. There is no plaque above the door, only a bundle of withered mugwort and calamus hanging above it, from which a faint fragrance wafts out, which can ward off evil spirits and dust.

The two pushed open the door and entered. The view was slightly wider. The courtyard inside was not large, only a few square feet in size, all paved with plain stones. The soft grass between the stones was very tenacious and lush.

There was nothing else of value in the courtyard except an old, rustic stone mortar, which held half a spring of clear water, reflecting the drifting clouds. Beside it stood an old plum tree, its branches gnarled and twisted. Since it was not in bloom, only sparse shadows cast dappled sunlight.

Black Owl observed the scene silently, pondering Big Green Girl's attitude towards him.

The cave in the courtyard was carved into the rock, with a bamboo curtain hanging halfway up the door, revealing a glimpse of the interior: the walls were as white as if washed, the stone bed was cool, and a rush mat was laid on it. Near the window was a natural stone table with a rough pottery bottle on it.

The vase contained several stems of wildflowers, all pale yellow, which looked just like the rapeseed flowers in front of the Thousand Flower Cave.

Hanging on the wall of the room is an ancient wooden sword. The sword has no spiritual energy and is probably just for decoration.

In the corner of the room, there was a small stone stove. Black Owl took a sniff and the embers in the stove were slightly warm, emitting a faint scent of pine smoke that lingered in the air. There was also the aroma of food and the fragrance of warm fermented rice wine mixed in, all of which made one's appetite whetted.

Compared to Xiaoqinggu's daughter's cave dwelling, everything here is taken from nature and returns to its original essence. It can be said that moss is the carpet, the cave is the house, the cold lake is the mirror, and the breeze is the companion.

Although she lives by the vast expanse of water, she keeps to herself a quiet and austere corner. Judging from her small appearance, if this Great Green Maiden continues her solitary cultivation, she may very well become a major threat and lifelong enemy of the true body in the future.

"We're all family, why are you all standing outside?"

The figure inside the cave waved, and Black Owl and Little Green Girl entered one after the other.

As soon as Xiaoqinggu entered the door, she said, "Sister, later you should check the gifts that Xiaolang sent with Mendong Tongzi. There are quite a few that you like. Don't let your boy keep them for himself."

"A rare thing."

Bai Chou Sang Gu, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise, "In the past, your face always showed a restless heart and an unyielding nature. How come you have changed today? Could it be that this little black devil has such power that he can remove your evil roots and change your nature, making you a virtuous woman?"

Before Xiaoqinggu could react, she said to Heixiao, "I told Xiaoqinggu before that if you want to subdue a witch like her, you need a man who is both lewd and violent and has a true nature. Only then can you make this witch devoted to you."

"You ugly thief!"

Little Green Girl shouted, "If it weren't for my presence here, I would have torn your tongue to shreds!"

Facing Xiao Qinggu's anger, Bai Chou Sanggu pretended not to hear it and said to Hei Xiao, "Don't be fooled by her current beauty. She is different from her older sister. She follows the path of orthodox magic, and even her understanding of Zen is only superficial."

Now that she has cultivated the "Demon-Slaying and God-Commanding Techniques" to the third level, "True Body of the Fiend," once this body is complete, she will surely transform into a creature with a blue face and fangs, demonic horns on its head, or covered in scales, with many eyes and arms—probably even uglier than me!

"you"

Unable to bear it any longer, Xiao Qinggu shook her shoulder, and a forked flame flew out, piercing straight ahead, but was blocked by the blade light released by Bai Chou Sanggu.

The two treasures collided and immediately returned, completely beyond the control of their two masters. Bai Chou Sang Gu suppressed the returning blade light, turned her head and stared at Da Qing Gu, praising, "With your cultivation level, crossing the last barrier of the four realms is just a piece of cake."

Why did my sister help her?

Little Green Maiden retracted her flame fork and stomped her foot in dissatisfaction. "Don't you understand? Little Mourning Maiden is trying to help you."

"Would she be kind enough to help me?"

Xiaoqinggu clearly didn't believe it. Although she and her sister had been friends with Baichou Sanggu for many years, they were always arguing and teasing each other. But today, she was embarrassed in front of Xiaolang and that's why she got really angry.

Seeing her younger sister Xiaoqinggu's condition, Daqinggu sighed inwardly.

Her younger sister had been inseparable from her since childhood, and she had raised her as both an older sister and a mother.

However, because she was outstanding since childhood, with exceptional Taoist skills and comprehension, she unintentionally overshadowed her younger sister's brilliance, causing her sister's personality to become increasingly eccentric over time. In addition, her sister's previous boyfriend had developed a rift because of her, which strained the relationship between the two sisters for a while.

Even though she felt indebted to her sister, she didn't particularly like this ruthless tyrant.

Daqinggu bluntly said, "You don't know, but Sanggu knows that I don't like this boy, so she spoke first and exposed your shortcomings so that I would think that this boy is a good match for you and that it would be difficult to separate you two."

She's the kind of person who always likes to do good deeds behind the scenes, and even if she's complained about, she's not very willing to explain herself, letting you complain and hold a grudge without uttering a word in her defense.

Xiao Qinggu was still somewhat skeptical. At this moment, Hei Xiao pulled her back and bowed to Bai Chou Sanggu, saying, "Sanggu's heart is full of gratitude and protection. My husband and I will certainly appreciate it. My wife was too shy to apologize, so I apologize on her behalf."

"You kid, you're still a child, but your spirit and sense of responsibility surpass many people. I'm only helping you this time because you're just as ugly as me."

"Humph!"

When Xiaoqing heard what Sanggu said, she was very unhappy again. She thought that Xiaolang's ugliness made her feel at ease.

"It was I who was too talkative. If the young lady doesn't mind, then my concern is unnecessary."

As they spoke, Bai Chou Sang Gu and Da Qing Gu exchanged glances. The two had previously speculated that Hei Xiao had a treasured fur coat, making it difficult to distinguish between his true and false transformations. Perhaps he had deceived Xiao Qing Gu with a fake body and was indulging in pleasure there.

Therefore, Bai Chou Sang Gu's words, which seemed to favor Hei Xiao, were actually pointing out the truth about Hei Xiao's transformation method to Xiao Qing Gu, and also testing whether Xiao Qing Gu knew about it.

Seeing Xiao Qinggu's expression, it was clear that she knew perfectly well that their relationship was not just a fleeting affair. Even if Da Qinggu wanted to break them up, she would have to carefully consider her sister's relationship with Hei Xiao.

Given the current situation, Daqing did not confront Heixiao. Instead, she was very humble, making no mention of Heixiao's relationship with her sister and pretending not to see their affectionate behavior. She chatted about trivial matters and eventually brought up the most exciting thing happening nearby.

It turns out that after more than half a year, the news of Dao Yuanjun's plot to seize the Venerable One's body and mantle had already spread throughout the area.

Dao Yuanjun, who was guarding Hui's side, was already in a state of utter distress. Now, he even took the initiative to ask the elders in the Cangling Sect for help. Unfortunately, the two Qing Gu were also secretly plotting. Under such circumstances, not a single person in the sect dared to help Dao Yuanjun.

At Hui Shen's place, several groups of unorthodox wanderers braved Dao Yuanjun's ferocity to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, and Jiang Hubiao even helped Dao Yuanjun fend off several waves of sneak attacks.

"Even now, that Tibetan monk hasn't given in yet, only telling Dao Yuan that the time isn't right. I reckon Dao Yuan has to wait until the last moment of the Tibetan monk's ninety-nine-year count, forcing the Tibetan monk to have no choice but to ask Dao Yuan to come and sever his wisdom body in order to pass away in time."

Bai Chou, the mourner, said this.

Da Qinggu secretly observed Hei Xiao's expression and saw that he was unmoved and seemed uninterested in the Hui Shen mantle, so she said, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Jiang would be willing to go and try his luck?"

“I have no interest in that True Word Golden Sutra, but if you give the order, I can give it a try.”
