The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 42 New Favorite
A small makeup box.

It is less than a foot long.

But it's full of things.

There are transparent wings, feathers with colorful brilliance, crystal clear jade in the shape of a heart, and round nails like gemstones...

There are not only creatures that swim in the water, but also those that fly in the sky and run on the ground.

There is no doubt that these were once Princess Halloween's 'pets'.

Wansheng put the dagger on top of the things and closed the makeup box.

She looked at Ding Lin again, and seemed to be in a better mood. She put down the comb in her hand, tucked her black hair behind her ears, picked up an eyebrow pencil, and carefully traced the end of her eyes.

……

Princess Halloween really likes Ding Lin, and whenever she goes out, she always takes him with her wherever she goes.

In this way, within just two or three days, the entire Dragon Palace knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess had changed her pet.

As for the original...

No demon cares.

Normally, Ding Lin was kept in the palace by Princess Wansheng.

He can wander around the huge palace at will.

Courtyard, rockery, garden...

As long as he didn't intend to leave, the guards and the clam spirits and fish monsters who served him would not stop any of his actions, nor would they try to please him. Instead, they would just ignore him, just like...

He is not alive, but a dead thing.

A dead thing that moves.

In this crystal palace, he really became an object.

An accessory for Princess Halloween.

This feeling suffocated the monster.

But Ding Lin doesn't.

After experiencing the loneliness of being a fish alone in the lotus pond for who knows how many years, and also experiencing the desperate situation like being on the edge of the abyss given to me by Benboerba.

Ding Lin has realized his own weakness and powerlessness now, and now he wants to grow and become stronger slowly.

And this atmosphere is ignored by many.

In fact, as long as you can not care about it in your heart, it is more suitable for practice.

Princess Halloween only sealed Ding Lin's evil spirit, making him unable to use it and unable to transform into a human form, so he could only remain in the form of a fish.

But he was not prohibited from practicing.

This is not out of kindness or compassion, but more out of a bad taste.

Princess Halloween has never concealed her emotions in front of Ding Lin, just like mortals who raise pigs, dogs, cows and sheep would not hide their emotions from these animals.

Ding Lin could easily grasp Princess Halloween's thoughts. She just wanted to watch herself practicing hard, but found that the demonic energy she had cultivated could not be used at all. She wanted to see that kind of distress, wanted to see herself struggling in that kind of torment, until one day, she gave up.

Then, he was completely trained by her.

Perhaps, by then, Princess Halloween will smile.

that is it.

……

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

at night.

Princess Halloween sat in the pavilion in the garden, holding a pill in her palm. She smiled as she watched Ding Lin swallow the pill. Then she walked upwards and swam to the highest point of the bedroom garden, close to the seal of the Crystal Palace.

The moonlight can just reach here.

Ding Lin closed his eyes and began to practice.

As a pet, the cultivation resources are naturally provided by the owner. A night of cultivation.

Wait until dawn.

Ding Lin opened his eyes and organized his practice. His demon pill realm had been completely stabilized and his cultivation level temporarily remained at 563 years.

Look down.

Princess Halloween also closed her eyes and immersed herself in spiritual practice.

Ding Lin was not surprised at all.

Half a year was neither long nor short. When he was not practicing during the day, he would sometimes wander around. When the palace servants talked, they would not deliberately avoid him, except...

Her Royal Highness's pet was never mentioned by any monster in the Dragon Palace.

That is why Ding Lin still doesn’t know what happened to his predecessors.

This may be his luck.

For now, don't worry about it.

According to the palace servants, Princess Wansheng was the only one with extraordinary talent, and she had achieved the fairyland before she was 3,000 years old.

But in the corner where no one pays attention, Princess Halloween is actually working harder than anyone else.

……

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud dull noise, and the entire Crystal Palace seemed to shake three times.

Princess Halloween was suddenly awakened from her practice. She raised her eyebrows, and a cold light flashed in her palm, and a snow-white sword appeared.

"Princess!"

A maid's voice came from outside the garden.

"What happened?"

Princess Halloween recognized that this was the banshee who served her father and asked in a deep voice.

"Princess, nothing happened. It was in the main hall that the Dragon King was entertaining a Bull Demon King whom he had recently met. He sent me to invite the princess to a banquet and get to know each other. When the Dragon King sent me here just now, the Bull Demon King was practicing martial arts. I think the commotion just now must have been caused by this."

"That's right." Princess Wansheng nodded, her expression slightly relaxed, "You go report to father first, I'll go after I wash up."

The old Dragon King of Bibotan has only one daughter, Princess Wansheng. This inheritance was meant to be passed on to her. Both father and daughter have the same name, and among the demons in the lower world, there is no such saying that it is not easy for women to show their faces. Since Princess Wansheng achieved the fairyland, she has been qualified to set up a household. The old Dragon King of Bibotan would discuss things with her more often, and she can now take over most of the family.

It is said to be washing up, but keeping the guests waiting for a long time is indeed rude.

Princess Halloween simply changed into a set of clothes for meeting guests, and then went to the main hall surrounded by several clam spirits and fish monsters. Of course, she did not forget Ding Lin, and she cast a water spell from a distance, bringing Ding Lin to her side.

……

"Great martial arts, my dear nephew, your martial arts are really good, especially the strength of his arms, which can make my crystal palace shake a few times. I'm afraid it must weigh more than a million pounds."

Ding Lin followed Princess Wansheng and heard a burst of praise before they even reached the main hall.

"Thank you for your compliment, old senior. I am a newbie and I have yet to show off my skills. You are too kind to me."

Another figure, sounds unfamiliar, but is hearty and straightforward, full of passion.

Princess Halloween walked around the last coral and stepped into the hall. Then Ding Lin saw the situation in the hall. On the main throne, an old man was leaning on the armrest. He was really too old, with chicken skin and white hair. Even his sitting posture could not hide his hunched body. One hand held a dragon-headed cane, and between his gray hair, two horns that looked like dry branches protruded from his forehead.

It should be the Halloween Dragon King.

This was the first time Ding Lin saw him after coming to the Crystal Palace for half a year.

Sure enough, the next moment Princess Halloween bowed to the old dragon.

"Father."

Princess Halloween called out, but her eyes were looking at the other stranger figure in the hall that she had never seen before. Her eyebrows were delicately curved, and a warm smile appeared on her face, as gentle as the goddess in your youth.

"Father, you called me here in a hurry, saying that a distinguished guest had come to visit. Could it be this demon brother?"
