Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

Zhang Shan placed one hand on Hong Hong's trembling hand and said, "Yes, only by becoming powerful enough to transcend time can one go against the current of the river of time, return to that point in time that broke your heart, and change everything!"

Boom!

It was as if countless thunderclaps were exploding in Honghong's mind.

Zhang Shan's idea was too bold and outrageous; it was a way of thinking that was completely ahead of its time.

"Really... can he be that powerful?" Honghong stared blankly at Zhang Shan, her tone filled with doubt, but she had already made up her mind!

“Of course!” Zhang Shan nodded affirmatively: “We are not in a world without extraordinary powers. I believe that as long as we continue to cultivate diligently, we will eventually be able to surpass the Heavenly Dao. Even time is just a toy in our hands.”

After a brief moment of distraction, Honghong took a deep breath and said to Zhang Shan, "Okay, I will work hard to cultivate. One day, I will go against the flow of time to save him."

Perhaps Zhang Shan's promise was too grand, or perhaps it was the only hope Honghong could grasp. In any case, Honghong didn't want to think about whether the promise was true or false.

Honghong would try anything that even had the slightest possibility of being possible.

Just like she went to Mutian City back then!

Save him?

Zhang Shan paused for a moment, then suddenly realized!

"That's it!"

He instantly understood the whole story.

“Honghong killed the young Taoist priest who wanted to save them with her own hands. For so many years, Honghong has been suffering greatly. And the death aura I felt from Honghong, if I’m not mistaken, means that Honghong was planning to commit suicide, but for some reason she didn’t do it, which is why she asked herself those questions.”

"Sigh, it's a pity that the later parts of the Fox Spirit Matchmaker series have too many heartbreaking plot points. I skipped through many parts and missed a lot of information..."

Honghong's mood improved considerably, and Zhang Shan could even see a firmness in Honghong's eyes, an expression that Honghong would never have shown before!

Moreover, the deathly aura on Honghong's body disappeared, as if a seedling had sprouted from a barren piece of land, radiating new life.

Seeing this, Zhang Shan smiled and said to Honghong, "So, Sister Honghong, let's work hard together! Even if you don't reach that level in the future, as long as I do, I will definitely help you realize your dream and save that person!"

Looking at Zhang Shan's sunny smile, Honghong was momentarily lost in thought, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's work hard together from now on."

"By the way, after our patrol today, come with me to a place," Honghong said with a smile.

"Okay! Just don't miss dinner!" Zhang Shan said.

"You're a Demon Emperor now, your strength is even comparable to mine, yet you still think about those gluttonous desires every day?"

"Hey! You can't say that! I cultivate to become stronger so that I can enjoy life, and good food is an important part of that enjoyment!" Zhang Shan said righteously.

Honghong walked ahead with a happy smile on her face.

Before, Honghong lived in a world of self-hatred, but after today, her goal has changed!

She wants to become stronger; she wants to go against the flow of time to save that little Taoist priest!

In this way, she has achieved self-redemption!

The patrol around the mountain was completed without any unexpected incidents.

Afterwards, Honghong took Zhang Shan directly to a cave in the back mountain.

As soon as Zhang Shan entered the cave, he felt a chill.

The cave was filled with ice, somewhat resembling Ya Ya's training ground.

Honghong led Zhang Shan to a block of ice. Zhang Shan looked over and saw a corpse frozen inside the ice.

The corpse's face was covered with disturbing wounds, but its body was cleaned very thoroughly, suggesting it had been specially cleaned.

“This is…” Zhang Shan murmured, but he stopped in time.

Honghong smiled and said, "You know him, right?"

"do not know."

"Stop lying, you've already given yourself away," Honghong said helplessly. "But you probably don't know about what happened between him and me, do you want to hear it?"

"I'd like to hear the details!" Zhang Shan sat down next to Hong Hong, looking very serious.

Honghong slowly recounted her childhood experiences.

It was simply because I was young and didn't know any better, so I took my younger sister Rongrong out to play.

But they were accidentally captured by human cultivators who wanted to sell the sisters to a brothel.

“At that time, this little Taoist priest was one of them…” Honghong looked at the frozen child, a look of pain flashing in her eyes.

Zhang Shan patted Hong Hong's shoulder and said, "If you want to cry, you can borrow my shoulder."

Honghong shook her head and smiled, "No, I'm not a child anymore."

"On the very night we were arrested, the young Taoist priest quietly came to the cage where we were being held..."

Honghong thought the young Taoist priest was going to do something disgusting to her and her sister. In a fit of rage, she unleashed her power and pierced the young Taoist priest's heart with a single claw.

However, the young Taoist priest simply smiled and tore off the talisman that sealed them, telling them to run away quickly. Then, he died in front of Honghong.

Then, endless hatred and regret enveloped Honghong's heart. After returning to Tushan, Honghong's demon power increased greatly, but from then on, Honghong always had the thought of death in her heart.

After hearing what Honghong said, Zhang Shan was speechless for a moment.

Finally, Zhang Shan, as if possessed, touched his reddish-gold hair and said, "There's always a way to fix things. Don't always think about suicide or death; it won't solve anything."

Chapter 240 Who's calling me?

Snapped! ~

Honghong slapped Zhang Shan's hand off her head and laughed, "Alright! I won't try to kill myself anymore."

"Yes, I can't hate myself anymore. Also, when I have free time, I should look at the rekindled relationships I've completed and the successful cases to cheer myself up and not dwell on past pain all the time."

"besides……"

Zhang Shan was about to say something more, but he met Hong Hong's smiling face.

After a few seconds of eye contact, Zhang Shan laughed and said, "Alright, it seems I was overthinking it."

As Zhang Shan emerged from the cave, he saw Ya Ya, exuding a murderous aura, running towards him from afar.

"You stinky tiger! What are you and my sister doing here?!"

Facing Ya Ya's flying kick, Zhang Shan sidestepped, raised both hands, and caught it steadily. He then spun around on the spot before gently placing Ya Ya on the grass.

"What's wrong, Sister Ya Ya? Why are you so angry?"

"Don't change the subject! Tell me! What were you doing in the cave?" Ya Ya stood in front of Hong Hong, staring at Zhang Shan as if he were a thief.

Zhang Shan chuckled mischievously, "Hehe~ Well, of course, it's about doing things that make us happy!"

Before Ya Ya could even get angry, her red iron fist had already landed on Zhang Shan's face.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll lock you in the Bitter Love Tree!"

Zhang Shan was punched and sent flying, taking the opportunity to escape.

Then, Honghong picked up Yaya, who was blocking her way, and went into the cave.

"Ya Ya, there's something I've been keeping from you. Today's the perfect opportunity, so I'll tell you."

……

Honghong has resolved her inner conflict, which is undoubtedly good news.

That afternoon, Rongrong even came to Zhang Shan's place and looked at him with a very complicated expression.

It wasn't until Zhang Shan was a little embarrassed that Rongrong smiled and said, "Thank you so much... Lord Shan!"

After saying that, Rongrong left without stopping.

The Demon Alliance has been newly formed recently, and there's been quite a lot going on.

On this day, Dongfang Yuechu sent a letter saying that the Dao Alliance had held some kind of newcomer competition, and Dongfang Yuechu won the championship with an absolute advantage. He is now a prominent figure in the Dao Alliance.

However, Dongfang Yuechu said that Wang Quanba Ye had a beast called Ehuyi, and asked Honghong if she knew anything about it.

As a result, Honghong didn't know why Wang Quanba had the Ehuzhao Beast on him. The Ehuzhao Beast was a parasite of the Bitter Love Tree. Generally speaking, only those who were destined to be together had a small chance of being entangled by the Ehuzhao Beast.

But Wang Quanbaye is not a continuation of fate, so how could he possibly be entangled by the Evil-beaked Beast?

Honghong came to Zhang Shan to ask if he knew anything.

"Wang Quanba has a Calamity-Beaked Beast on him?" Zhang Shan stared blankly at Hong Hong: "No, he didn't renew his bond, how could he be entangled by a Calamity-Beaked Beast?"

"You don't know either?" Honghong frowned. She thought she would get the answer from Zhang Shan, but she didn't expect that even Zhang Shan didn't know.

"Could this be just a minor matter?"

After Honghong left, Zhang Shan didn't take it to heart.

Wang Quanba's role wasn't very big, and he genuinely didn't know why the other person had the Evil Beetle in their body.

Zhang Shan knew a little about the Evilbeak Beast, because it appeared very early in the story and was easily manipulated by Ya Ya and the others. It was a minor monster that was killed off as soon as it appeared.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if Fengqi has run away yet?"

With nothing else to do, Zhang Shan came to the Bitter Love Tree, looking for a way to enter it.

His furtive behavior quickly caught Rongrong's attention. Rongrong's cultivation method involved connecting with the Bitter Love Tree, so she had discovered Zhang Shan's presence long ago.

However, Rongrong had no idea what Zhang Shan was doing.

After observing for a while, Rongrong saw that Zhang Shan had already started digging up the roots of the bitter love tree. She appeared in front of Zhang Shan with puzzled eyes.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Shan looked up and met Rongrong's rather comical eyes.

He quickly stood up and said with a smile, "This... I..."

Zhang Shan's eyes darted around, avoiding eye contact with Rongrong.

After all, Feng Qi is still a taboo in Tu Shan, and he doesn't want to bring bad luck upon himself.

Rongrong leaned closer, scrutinizing Zhang Shan, and chuckled, "You...you're not looking for Feng Qi, are you?"

hiss~

Zhang Shan gasped!
