Chapter 257 The Second Moon

The macaque looked up at the girl who was looking down at it from high above, its face filled with shock!
That damned fox! Instead of warning it of the danger, it ran away first.

The macaque probably forgot that a hundred years ago, when it went on a mission with Zi Ji to find the deer, it encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator who intercepted it, and it ran away without caring about anyone else.

That time, Murasaki almost lost her life.

Foxes are known for holding grudges, and Zi Ji is known for being petty and narrow-minded, so she would never hesitate to take advantage of any opportunity to trick the macaque.

Sensing the immense threat posed by the girl, the macaque abandoned all fighting and devised a plan. Suddenly, five identical macaques appeared, making a total of six, which then fled in six different directions.

However, before he could run more than a few meters, his clones shattered, and his true body was bound by a vine, from which he could not break free no matter what he did.

The macaque was terrified and was trying to break free of the vines in its true form when suddenly it felt a chill on its neck. Its whole body froze, and a black knife slashed across its shoulder. The monkey's head flipped twice in mid-air before crashing to the ground.

"Are you too weak, or am I too strong?"

Xiao Qi looked at the monkey demon she had killed with little effort, her eyes filled with doubt.

A great demon comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator?
That's it?

She dug out the macaque's demon core and was about to put it away when she suddenly heard a squeaking sound behind her. Turning around, she saw Little Fire leaping and bounding towards her. Because it was wearing a small outfit specially made by Meng Shulan, and even had a hood on its top, it looked like a newborn baby at first glance.

"Why are you here?"

As Xiao Qi spoke, Xiao Huo had already run up to her. It squeaked and looked eagerly at the demon core in her hand.

"You want this?"

The small fire nodded vigorously, like a pestle being crushed.

Do you want to eat?

Xiao Huo continued to nod.

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, but did not give the demon core directly to it. It was not that she was reluctant to give it the core, nor that she did not want it to eat it, but that she was afraid that something would happen if it ate it directly.

She held up the demon core and explained to it, "This macaque's cultivation is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. You are young, and if you cannot withstand its immense demonic power, you may easily explode and die. We'll go back and ask Master later if it needs to be processed before you eat it."

The little one understands everything, but can't speak.

It stopped chirping and instead climbed onto Xiao Qi's shoulder and squatted there obediently, but its eyes kept glancing at the storage ring on her left thumb, its big eyes filled with an unusually strong longing.

Xiao Qi now carries two storage rings. One is the one she's carried since childhood, which Yu Qingge turned into a bracelet and wears on her wrist. It was originally Lu Xiaowu's. The other is a gift from her senior uncle Yu Qingfeng, which she wears on her left thumb.

As for the few she robbed, she gave them all to her parents.

The man and the monkey quickly returned to Sanqing Mountain.

Xiao Qi handed the macaque's demon core to Yu Qingge, who only glanced at it before tossing it to the eagerly waiting Xiao Huo.

Squeak!

The little monkey, who had been waiting, jumped up, took it, and then stuffed it into its mouth and swallowed it.

"You're just going to eat it like this?"

"Otherwise what?" Yu Qingge leaned lazily against the wooden table, pointing to the little fire monkey that was drowsy in Xiao Qi's arms after swallowing the demon core, and said, "I told you before that because it was born prematurely, its bloodline was damaged. It can absorb demon cores like those of macaques, let alone Nascent Soul cultivators, even Divine Transformation cultivators."

As soon as Yuqing finished speaking, the little fire monkey closed its eyes and fell asleep.

Well, after eating the demon core, I probably need to digest it before advancing to the next level.

The night passed peacefully, and the next day was the fifteenth, the day when the moons of the two worlds coincided. A solemn atmosphere pervaded both Qingshui Town and the foot of the mountain.

Meng Jiu did not choose to return to Yunmeng Village. Instead, he stayed in the courtyard that his daughter had bought. His granddaughter had set up a protective array, so he was very safe.

He was aware of Xiao Qi's plans and couldn't help but feel worried. However, children and grandchildren have their own destinies, and there are some things that children should do, so he had no reason to stop them.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll be fine."

After dinner, as the moon was about to rise, Xiao Qi hugged Meng Jiu and comforted her, "Your granddaughter may seem reckless, but she's actually quite sensible and values ​​her life."

"Yes, my granddaughter is very capable."

Meng Jiu looked at her with loving eyes and patted her head with a smile, "Grandpa has prepared a lot of dowry for you and is looking forward to your wedding."

Xiao Qi pouted in dissatisfaction, "What dowry? Didn't I already tell you that I'm not getting married? I'll find you a husband, and the children we have will have the surname Meng."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Meng Shulan glared at Xiao Qi reproachfully, then whispered to Lin Qingquan, "Look at your daughter, what kind of things is she saying? She doesn't act like a girl at all."

Lin Qingquan really wanted to say that his daughter wasn't wrong, why should she get married? What kind of scoundrel could be good enough for her?

But he didn't dare.

It wasn't exactly a tearful farewell. Xiao Qi mainly checked the array in the house and placed a few magical artifacts on her grandfather to ensure his safety before she flashed back to Sanqing Mountain.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the full moon shone brighter in the night sky, but it was only one moon, just one moon hanging in the distant sky.

At ten o'clock, Meng Ziyang looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "They're not going to not come out, are they?"

Liu Liu nervously touched the jade pendant around her neck again and whispered, "Fairy, are you back?"

Although she was just a wisp of a divine soul, the fairy still hibernated every winter. However, she used to come out once a month to check on Liu Liu and see if he was alright.

Since the first snowfall at the end of November this year, the fairy has remained silent, unresponsive no matter how much she is called.

This made Liu Liu somewhat worried.

This is also the main reason why she has been practicing diligently for the past six months.

She knew she couldn't always rely on the fairy; she had to rely on herself, and she had to have her own path.

Liu Liu closed her eyes and felt it again. The jade pendant was icy cold, and it seemed like something was flowing inside, but then again, it didn't. It was completely different from when the fairy was there.

Is he gone?

Liu Liu looked up at the sky blankly. This shouldn't be the case. Even if the time for repaying the debt of gratitude was over and the fairy was about to leave, she would have told her beforehand. She wouldn't have left without saying goodbye.

Meng Yanxu, standing behind Liu Liu, noticed her unusual expression and was about to ask what was wrong when Qiao Tai exclaimed, "She's out!"

Everyone immediately looked up at the sky, but no matter how they looked, they could only see the same round moon; there was no sign of a second moon.

Meng Ziyang retorted rudely to his friend, "What the hell are you yelling about?"

Qiao Tai, however, continued to stare at the sky, pointing diagonally upwards with a frustrated expression, and said, "It's right there, can't you see it?"

They really didn't see it. Everyone looked at the sky with suspicion, then at Qiao Tai.

At this moment, Xiao Qi led Xiao Long out of the secret passage. Qiao Tai shouted as if he had seen a lifeline, "Boss, you can be my witness. Look at the sky, isn't there a second moon?"

Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a joyous family reunion!
