One of my fairy-like friends

Mingyan recounted everything from his earliest memories, "I floated down from the river in the village..."

"But I can't play with the village kids anymore..."

"I became a hunter, and my first hunt was very successful..."

"That day, a cultivator came to the village..."

"She saved me, and I feel so much for her..."

"My junior sister Liu Mengli from Yutai Blessed Land, my master Liu Yunfeng have all been very kind to me, as have the sect leader Xia Yanming... I want to repay them."

"Later, my blood did indeed help Huang Qingfei. I became friends with Huang Feiyan, and her friend Huang Junyi also took great care of me. The people of the Huang family are all very kind..."

"Later, I met my senior sister and master. My master treated me extremely well, and my senior sister treated me like an older sister..."

Mingyan spoke in great detail, losing track of time, and recounted everything.

There was no need to keep any secrets. He trusted Wang Qingchu unconditionally from the bottom of his heart because he could also feel that the person beside him had only immense goodwill towards him and would never do anything to harm him.

Wang Qingchu listened quietly, smiling as she looked at him, never interrupting, and occasionally nodding.

"I thought I was seeing an illusion, and I accidentally let slip my thoughts to Ning Feixuan. She... rejected me. She said she was devoted to the Dao and rejected me decisively, but I didn't give up because of that..."

Until Mingyan mentioned visiting Wang Qingchu's tomb again...

Wang Qingchu smiled and reached out to rub Mingyan's head. "My Yan'er is indeed not a bad person. However, it seems that your experiences, ever since you started cultivating immortality, have been inseparable from women. Let me count: Liu Mengli, Huang Feiyan, Yue Qingying, Huang Junyi, Huang Qingfei, Huang Junru, Yue Wuxia, Ning Feixuan, Ning Mengru, An Ran, Gu Hanshuang... Hehe, my Yan'er, you have quite a lot of suitors."

What is a peach blossom?

"So you're really popular with women, always managing to attract them." Wang Qingchu pinched Mingyan's cheek and chuckled. "My Yan'er, how can you be so naive... But you like the Holy Maiden of Yaochi... Hmm, if you'd like..."

“Sister, I want to pursue her, but I don’t want to force her,” Mingyan quickly said, guessing what Wang Qingchu wanted to say.

Wang Qingchu chuckled, "You think my sister meant to say she'd betroth her to you directly?"

"No, no, I was just expressing my opinion..."

“If you like her, of course you should pursue her yourself. You can’t force a relationship. Only when she wholeheartedly blossoms for you can you taste the sweetest fruit.” Wang Qingchu said with a smile, “I just wanted to say that I could help you out. As the former Queen Mother of the West, I can still help you a lot.”

Wang Qingchu was once the Queen Mother of the West of Yaochi Holy Land, and the strongest Queen Mother of the West besides the deceased Queen Mother of the West. She enjoyed extremely high prestige in Yaochi Holy Land. If she could come back to life, Yaochi Holy Land would definitely be centered around her.

Mingyan smiled and shook his head. "Thank you, sister. But if we are destined to be together, we can be together without any special arrangements."

"It's good that you have this idea." Wang Qingchu nodded. "Then I won't interfere. I believe in my brother's charm; he'll definitely be able to captivate her."

Mingyan scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He had no charm whatsoever, and he couldn't even speak properly. Perhaps he should increase his training with his senior sister.

“But… Yan’er, you must remember, your sister is willing to do anything for you.” Wang Qingchu looked at Ming Yan, leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Anything… because you are my only family. I have lived for nine thousand years, saved countless people, lived for them, fought for them, and let them live under my protection. I have done right by my bloodline and everyone else. Now that I have awakened again, as the Human King, I naturally have the responsibility to protect the world. But I can also be a little selfish, living for myself and for you whom I care about, because to me, you are far more important than anyone else… Whatever you want, whatever you want to do, I will help you.”

Mingyan pursed his lips. Although he did not want Wang Qingchu to do things against her will because of him, he could not remain calm after hearing these words and was deeply moved.

Wang Qingchu possessed the body of a fully grown adult, a half-step towards becoming an emperor through physical means. Even the current Empress Qingzi dared not ignore her existence. She told Mingyan, "Whatever you want, whatever you want to do, I will help you."

Who could resist such a temptation?

Mingyan pursed his lips and gently shook his head. "My sister is a hero. If I were a good younger brother, I wouldn't make her do things she doesn't want to do for me."

"What do you mean by 'I don't want to do something'?" Wang Qingchu chuckled. "Yan'er, have you ever thought about why people live in this world?"

Mingyan thought about it for a moment, then shook his head, realizing the question was too profound.

“In her past life, my sister endured nine thousand years of solitude. No one could enter her heart. All she cared about were the people and the responsibilities on her shoulders. Because apart from me, no one else could stand against the darkness and turmoil. I had to stand up. I should protect everyone.” Wang Qingchu said calmly, “This was the only meaning of my sister’s life in her past life: to prevent the extinction of the entire race.”

"I can't save my mother who is trapped behind the stone wall, and I can't save my brothers and sisters who have already died. That's all I can do."

“But now, you stand before me, with the same blood flowing through your veins as mine. I feel an unparalleled sense of closeness. You are more important to me than my mother behind the stone wall, because you stand right here, I can see you, I can touch you.” Wang Qingchu ran her jade-like fingers through Ming Yan’s hair, her tone incredibly gentle. “I’m delighted to discover that besides saving the world, I can also make my brother happy. I can do everything I can to protect him, watch him grow up, and do anything I can for him. Now that I have saved the world, I think I am willing to dedicate my new life to myself and to my brother. This is my reason for living now.”

"Protecting others versus protecting you, Yan'er, if you were faced with this choice, would you choose to protect an ordinary person or protect your master?"

Mingyan felt that his master didn't need his protection at all, but the answer to this multiple-choice question was actually quite simple.

“I would choose to protect my master, because I care about her more.”

“That’s right, I will protect you too, because I care about you more.” Wang Qingchu smiled slightly. “So don’t think I don’t want to do it. If you want to, then I want to.”

"Sister... I think that in the end, I will still do my best to save others, just like the previous generations of human kings." Mingyan did not want Wang Qingchu, who was a fully grown adult king, to do anything for his own selfish desires. Although Wang Qingchu had made it very clear that she was very willing, Mingyan would not give in to depravity.

"Then your sister will be by your side, proud of you, and honored by you." Wang Qingchu kissed Mingyan on the forehead, then smiled slightly. "Do what you want to do. Whether you want to be a good person or a bad person, your sister will be with you."

Mingyan nodded. "I will not let down my bloodline. I will make my sister truly wake up. I will also go with my sister to rescue our mother."

Wang Qingchu's smile remained unchanged. "It seems my little brother can also turn a blind eye to such temptations. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Mingyan blinked. "Then... was my sister testing me just now?"

To test his character, if he really wants to use Wang Qingchu for something, she will turn on him or something.

"A test?" Wang Qingchu smiled gently. "If you really wanted me to do something for you, I would only think you were a little disappointing. But you are my Yan'er, and I will love you no matter what. And now, you make me feel proud and honored, so as your older sister, I will naturally love you even more."

Chapter 121 The Last Human King's Body

elder sister...

Mingyan pursed his lips, feeling that if things continued like this, he would really fall into depravity. He shook his head and asked, "Sister, I have a few questions I want to ask you."

"Ask away." Wang Qingchu took Mingyan's hand and pulled him to sit on the beach. She then gently rested her head on Mingyan's shoulder, her gaze fixed on the other side of the spiritual sea.

"My sister said I am the ninth Human King Body, so before that, including my sister, there were eight?"

“Yes, I am the eighth one. The seven older brothers and sisters before me have all passed away.” Wang Qingchu nodded. “I obtained my ‘Sun and Moon Scripture’ from the Qi Sea of ​​the previous sister.”

"Sister lived for nine thousand years in her previous life. How much lifespan does she have left?" Mingyan was quite concerned about this question. He was not quite sure how Wang Qingchu had woken up. Even if she was a fully grown adult with a royal body, her lifespan should have been exhausted after nine thousand years.

“I don’t know either,” Wang Qingchu said. “I once fought a great battle with an extreme being among the invaders from other realms and accidentally entered another world.”

Wang Qingchu's expression was slightly solemn. "That should be the main base of the invaders from other realms. I made many discoveries there. All the invaders from other realms have infinite lifespans and do not die when their lifespans are exhausted. The laws of that world are completely different from our world. After I finally found a way to leave, I discovered that I had been tainted by the laws of another world. Affected by these laws, my lifespan has also become a mystery. I have lived for nine thousand years and have not felt my lifespan running out. Later, I found a way to put my physical body and consciousness into a complete sleep. This sleep lasted for hundreds of thousands of years."

Mingyan was taken aback. "Then, sister, could it be that you've also become an immortal?"

“I don’t know either…” Wang Qingchu shook his head, “but at least because of this law, I’ve been able to live until now and see you, which is enough for me.”

“Those invaders from other realms are all immortals…” Mingyan frowned. “Since you accidentally entered that world, have you investigated why they came to this world to slaughter?”

Wang Qingchu shook his head. "I survived by the skin of my teeth in that world. It's different from our world. In our world, only one Supreme Being can exist at a time, but in that world, it seems that several or even dozens of Supreme Beings exist at the same time. I was extremely lucky to escape that world. I have no ability to investigate anything more."

Ming Yan felt a chill run down his spine. Several, or even dozens, of extreme beings?

No, since there are so many, perhaps in that world they are not even considered "Yakuza".

“But a long life is meaningless. I want to watch you grow up and stay by your side. If your lifespan runs out, I will bury myself with you, or perhaps I will go to find some way to achieve immortality.” Wang Qingchu rested her head on Mingyan’s shoulder and smiled slightly.

“Oh...right, speaking of which…” Mingyan suddenly remembered that he had also seen a fully grown adult king’s body in the “#” in the Extreme Dao Hall, so he told Wang Qingchu about it.

“#?” Wang Qingchu said upon hearing this, “I also once possessed ‘?’ and ‘#’, but I lost them when I returned to this world from the outer realms… These two symbols seem to have been left by my mother. The ‘?’ character represents the future; the Sun and Moon Scripture contains a secret technique using the ‘?’ character that can increase our combat power several times over in a short period of time. The ‘#’ character represents the past; the Sun and Moon Scripture does not record a secret technique using the ‘#’ character, but I can confirm that ‘#’ has no space. The great adult king body you saw was probably a manifestation of the ‘past’… And your description…”

Wang Qingchu thought for a moment and said, "They don't sound like the older brothers and sisters I know...maybe it's my mother."

A vision of the past? Mingyan recalled that Huang Feiyan, his senior sister, and Ning Feixuan had indeed seen a vision of the past, seemingly seeing themselves as children... Although Ning Feixuan didn't say anything, her expression was very unpleasant, likely because she had seen her parents as children...

Logically speaking, what he saw should be something he had experienced in his childhood, right? But no, Mingyan didn't remember ever going to that palace.

"Is it possible that the palace I saw is the world beyond the stone gate?" Mingyan asked.

“That’s what I think too.” Wang Qingchu nodded, somewhat puzzled. “But I didn’t discover anything through the ‘#’ before… It seems that you, as the last human body, are special. Hehe, my Yan’er is special.”

Wang Qingchu laughed and intertwined her fingers with Mingyan's.

Mingyan noticed something: do all women like to hold hands like this? His senior sister also liked to intertwine her fingers with his, leaving no gaps between them.

"Sister, why did you say I am the last one with the Human King Body?" Mingyan asked incessantly, like a curious child.

“Because no more Human Kings will be born after you,” Wang Qingchu said. “Do you remember the river that flowed out of the cave? That dividing river. Just like you, I also floated down from that river, and just like you, I grew up in Sun and Moon Village.”

Is that so?

“All the human king bodies float down from the river, which is why I presume that my mother is inside the stone gate. When I was born, there were still some things about human king bodies in the village. Judging from your reaction, they must have been lost. The villagers living in Sun and Moon Village are all ordinary people, so it is normal for them to lose them for some reason. After all, they only live for a hundred years at most, and those things simply cannot be passed down.”

"You may have heard some legends in the village about the beginning of human civilization?"

“Yes, there are some, but not all of them.” Mingyan nodded.

“At least when I was born, those legends were quite comprehensive,” Wang Qingchu said. “From the very beginning of civilization, to the system that unified the cultivation world, to my mother falling into a deep sleep, there were detailed records. According to legend, before my mother fell into a deep sleep, she left behind nine restrictions to deal with nine crises. Each crisis was a dark upheaval, and a Human King Body would be born. However, the first Human King Body had some problems and was born in an era other than the dark upheaval. So when I was born, it was actually the seventh dark upheaval. You should have been born during the eighth dark upheaval, but it seems that you didn’t. Instead, you waited until the ninth one, which is the one that is about to happen.”

So that's how it is. It seems that not everyone who cultivates the King Body eventually achieves mastery... Otherwise, they should be as famous as Wang Qingchu, even though nobody knows that Wang Qingchu is a human King Body.

“If the rumors are true, then after your birth, no more human king bodies will be born…” Wang Qingchu said, “You will be the last human king body.”

Chapter 122 I Started Loving You Even Before You Were Born

Nine-person king body?

Why nine?

The number nine...

In fact, this Dark Turmoil appears to be the ninth Dark Turmoil...

Nine... Ming Yan frowned. The number nine was quite special.

"Don't you think the number nine is special?" Wang Qingchu smiled as she turned her head. "Nine is the ultimate number, representing the final and ultimate. You are the ninth Human King Body."

“You were not born during the Eighth Dark Age, but rather during the Ninth Dark Age. I think Mother must have had her reasons for arranging it this way.” Wang Qingchu’s pretty face gradually turned serious. “The Ninth Dark Age will be far more complex than the previous ones. The enemies you will face will likely be far greater than those of any previous Dark Age.”

“However, your sister will stay by your side.” Wang Qingchu hugged Mingyan, letting him lie back on her lap. Her slender hands gently stroked Mingyan’s face, her eyes filled with an overwhelming love. “At least, I can stay by your side.”

“If you have to face them and fight them, your sister will stand by your side and fight alongside you.”

"If you don't want to face it..."

“Sister.” Mingyan interrupted Wang Qingchu. Wang Qingchu came back to her senses, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a proud smile. “But my Yan’er will definitely not run away.”

Wang Qingchu gently stroked Mingyan's face with her jade-like hand, not missing any corner, her eyes filled with deep affection and fondness. Mingyan felt a little uncomfortable, always feeling that his older sister Wang Qingchu cared too much about him.

Having an older sister is a good thing, and Mingyan is happy from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, his older sister is quite remarkable. She is not only a great adult king with a body comparable to an emperor, but also a hero who once led the human race and the demon race to fight against the dark turmoil. Such a great hero is full of doting love for him, making him want to drown in her arms.

"I really want you to stay with me forever, but I know you have other things to do, other people you care about, and you need to cultivate to fight against the dark chaos." Wang Qingchu's face was filled with reluctance. "I can't keep you all to myself, otherwise you'll definitely hate me, right?"

"...No, that won't happen."

“Hehe~” Hearing this answer, Wang Qingchu was in a great mood. She gently stroked Mingyan’s lips with her jade fingers, with a half-smile. “But I will not force you to spend my time. Although I have been alone for nine thousand years, I have seen all the world’s affairs and waited for hundreds of thousands of years to finally get my Yan’er. I am not in a hurry for this moment of intimacy and tenderness.”

Wang Qingchu carried a captivating fragrance, somewhat familiar yet strange. Why such a conflicting feeling? It felt both intimate and addictive; even her delicate fingers carried that subtle aroma, intoxicating all who smelled it.

Wang Qingchu lowered her head and kissed Mingyan on the forehead. "Would you be willing to stay with your sister until sunset, until the moon rises over the sea?"
