I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

It's a pity his medical skills are not good enough, otherwise he could have made a living treating patients.

"Money, I never thought I'd ever be short of money."

Bai Qingyu sighed.

It's often said that you can't get anywhere without money, and that's absolutely true. Without money, you won't even have a place to stay once you get to the city.

"Um... I don't know anything yet, but I will try my best to help my sister." Zhen Tian said after hearing Bai Qingyu's words.

"How can I let my younger sister work so hard? Zhentian, you just need to keep me company. Leave the work of earning money to support the family to your older sister."

Patting his chest proudly, Bai Qingyu said, "I have many ways to make money, but I just don't know how to do it right now."

"this......"

Bai Qingyu had made up her mind. If things didn't work out after she got to the city, she would continue to set up a fortune-telling stall and earn whatever she could. With the money she had, she could buy materials and make some umbrellas and other things at home to earn enough to live on.

If possible, Bai Qingyu would like to buy a courtyard in this county town, because he would probably have to live in this small town for quite a long time, probably several years, until the Demon King incident is over before setting off again.

As I was pondering this, I walked onto the main road and followed a convoy of cars. A long line of cars was forming as people entered the city one by one.

Soldiers stood in front of the city gate, holding spears and swords. People had to pay a fee to enter and exit, but it wasn't much, less than the price of a meal.

When it was Bai Qingyu's turn, the soldiers at the city gate were only amazed. They had seen all kinds of young ladies and beautiful women here, but compared to these two, they were indeed far inferior.

After paying the fee, we entered the city, and nothing happened along the way.

Seeing that it was getting late, Bai Qingyu casually found an inn to stay at and decided to set off again the next day to see if any wealthy families had rented out their empty courtyards.

The inn was dimly lit by firelight. Bai Qingyu changed the inn's bedding to her own, not because she thought she was so noble, but because the inn's bedding could be said to have been through countless battles, and the previous guest might have had something happen on it with his young mistress, which was really disgusting.

Lying face down on the blanket, Bai Qingyu curled herself up.

"Zhentian, could you prepare some food for Xiaodie? I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while."

Xiaodie was too timid to speak, but Zhentian gently comforted her.

Meanwhile, Bai Qingyu was once again trapped in the Demon King's dream.

Volume 1: Chapter 77 The White Dragon and the Tribulations of Love

Bai Qing had already had two dreams about the Demon King. In one dream, the Demon King used all his power to turn him into a stone as he was dying. In the second dream, the Demon King used that power to be reborn. But this dream was a little different.

The same mountains and streams remained, and the stone that the Demon King had transformed into was still there. It was as if those cultivators who had dug three feet into the ground to find the Demon King were fools, unable to sense such an obvious power.

The Demon King's power was rapidly gathering. At this rate, it would only take a few years for the Demon King to be reborn. Bai Qingyu saw his perspective rising higher and higher, gradually flying out of the clouds from the center of the stone. Then, his perspective began to shift, no longer focusing on the stone but on the surrounding environment.

Is this a way of letting me see the surroundings so I can find it? Bai Qingyu thought to himself as he looked around. It felt like the demon king was giving him directions, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find the place.

After speculating with Zhen Tian, ​​Bai Qingyu suspected that the demon king wanted her to be his adoptive mother.

Putting aside how this demon king found him, Bai Qingyu couldn't understand how this guy was so sure he would go. These repeated dreams would have scared anyone else into not going.

After taking a clear look around, Bai Qingyu turned her gaze back. Before she could see anything clearly, the scene suddenly changed, and a large river appeared. She studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was in the river. It was ordinary and had nothing special about it. She could even see fishermen fishing on the river.

Just as he was wondering, the river began to churn. Bai Qingyu saw a snake nearly twenty meters long writhing in the river, seemingly seriously injured and on the verge of death. In the blink of an eye, the river returned to normal, and the giant snake that looked like a dragon in the river disappeared without a trace, as if it were an illusion.

However, the dream did not end there. The scene was no longer above the river, but in a mountain village beside the river. The giant snake from before appeared in this mountain village.

The white snake was on the verge of death. The villagers surrounded it, talking about something, and then they started taking knives to cut up the snake's flesh and drinking its blood.

Bai Qingyu frowned as she watched, but fortunately, the scene quickly disappeared.

This dream was exceptionally long and contained a great deal of information.

I woke up slowly to find the sunlight outside the window already blinding.

Xiaodie had already gotten up and was sitting there with her head down, seemingly lost in thought.

He sat up in bed, covering his head.

She could understand the first half of the dream; the demon king was telling her how to get there. But she couldn't understand the rest. Suddenly, she found herself on a large river, where the badly injured white snake appeared, and finally, there was a scene of a group of villagers eating the white snake's flesh and drinking its blood.

This is a bit strange, because she wasn't familiar with this big snake at all; in fact, she had never seen it before.

She didn't quite understand what the demon king was trying to tell her. The fragmented images didn't reveal any useful information, and the scene didn't seem to have already happened. If she wasn't mistaken, it was a scene from the future.

"Xiaodie, where is your sister Zhentian?"

Putting aside the jumbled thoughts in her mind, Bai Qingyu glanced around the room and saw only Xiao Die, but not Zhen Tian.

Hearing Bai Qingyu's words, Xiaodie looked up and said, "Sister Zhentian went out and said she went to buy some food and will be back in a while."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the inn room was pushed open from the outside, and Zhen Tian walked in carrying three scallion pancakes wrapped in oil paper. She was still wearing the gloves that Bai Qingyu had given her, so she was not afraid of exposing her identity.

"I bought you some breakfast, Sister Bai." Seeing that Bai Qingyu was already awake, Zhen Tian placed the breakfast on the table.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Stretching, Bai Qingyu tidied herself up, used her demonic power to cleanse herself, washed her face, casually tied her hair into a single ponytail, and put one leg on another chair. "As expected, Zhen Tian still cares about me the most."

With a grin, he picked up the scallion pancake and took a small bite.

With Feng Yuan's pills, there's no need to worry about Zhen Tian getting into trouble when he goes out. He has no demonic power, and at most he's good-looking. But then again, being good-looking is also a dangerous thing. Not to mention some street thugs, some cultivators who can't control their lower bodies are also dangerous.

"Oh my god, don't go out alone next time, especially in crowded places. Remember to call me if you want to go out." Bai Qingyu said, her cheeks puffing out, her words slightly muffled.

"Well, I see."

Zhen Tian sat opposite Bai Qingyu and thoughtfully prepared tea for her.

“Zhentian, let me tell you, I dreamed about the Demon King again last night, and this time it was a bit strange, very strange.”

While eating, Bai Qingyu complained to Zhen Tian, ​​roughly describing the strange dream she had last night. She told Zhen Tian everything, from the initial defense to the final act of devouring the giant snake, without missing a single detail. She felt that Zhen Tian was sometimes smarter than her and could often see things from unexpected angles.

"That white snake, if I'm not mistaken, is not an ordinary snake. It should be a dragon, with a pair of sharp horns on its head. It's quite different from ordinary snakes."

"When this white dragon was being devoured, it seemed to still be alive, but it was too badly injured to resist."

After listening to Bai Qingyu's words, Zhen Tian fell into deep thought. Zhen Tian had a habit of staring blankly in one direction when he was deep in thought.

Without disturbing her, Bai Qingyu finished the rest of the scallion pancakes in three bites. All I can say is that these pancakes weren't as good as the ones she made; they were far inferior. Overall, they were still acceptable.

After waiting for a moment, Zhen Tian took a small bite of the scallion pancake and said softly after finishing it, "I think this is probably the Demon King conveying a message to my sister, or predicting the future, in order to show his sincerity or to show that he has no ill intentions."

"No way, would the Demon King think that much?"

"That might be a process you have to go through before you meet the Demon King, Sister Bai. If this happens in the future, then meeting the Demon King won't be far off. I'm just reminding you of that."

After a moment's thought, Zhen Tian said, "I also think that this dream might not be the Demon King's original intention. If it was arranged by him, it would not be so vague. I think this should be the Demon King's subconscious."

"The Demon King is powerful and has profound cultivation. After his rebirth, the consciousness he left behind glimpsed some of the future and resonated with my sister. That's why he came to my sister and kept sending her messages through dreams."

After listening, Bai Qingyu nodded thoughtfully. To be honest, Zhen Tian's explanation sounded very convincing and quite plausible. This also explained why she had been having dreams repeatedly. It was because the Demon King knew about her future and, after vaguely connecting with her, began to harass her.

If I ever have the chance to adopt this fox, I'll definitely give it a good spanking. How dare it treat its mother like this?

Of course, if there's no chance, then forget it; she was just being delusional.

After finishing breakfast, Bai Qingyu stood by the window to breathe in the fresh air.

It had just rained, and the streets of the county town were covered in mud and sewage, which was quite unpleasant to look at, since there was no powerful drainage system. However, the air was still quite fresh.

"It's been almost half a month since spring began, and I still don't know when the little snake will wake up."

The little snake hibernates in winter, and it should wake up next spring. Bai Qingyu was helpless. Wasn't the little snake supposed to be a naturally occurring exotic beast? Why did it still need to hibernate?

As soon as she spoke of the little snake, it crawled out of the book box. Bai Qingyu turned around and saw a large white snake, nearly five meters long, swimming out of the book box, flicking its tongue. Its eyes were so human-like that she could tell it was very happy.

The little snake was quite intelligent, comparable to a ten-year-old human child. That's why Bai Qingyu called her a strange beast. Only strange beasts can awaken intelligence in their cub stage, which is incomparable to ordinary wild beasts and demon beasts.

"You've grown up again?"

Bai Qingyu walked over and squatted down, and the little snake gently rubbed its head against Bai Qingyu's hand.

Before hibernation, the snake was only a little over four meters long, but now it is more than five meters long. This is the first time Bai Qingyu has ever heard of a snake growing so much during hibernation. When he got up, he found some shed snake skins in the book box.

"So it's just shedding its skin. Wait, what's that on your head?"

Bai Qingyu saw something and picked up the white snake, only to find that she seemed to have two small bumps on her head.

With her delicate brows furrowed, Bai Qingyu looked at the little snake and felt as if she had seen it somewhere before. After thinking carefully, she realized that it was the white dragon she had dreamed about last night!

I didn't notice at first, but when I saw the two bumps on her head, I remembered last night's dream. In that dream, if you shrank those sharp horns and stuck them on the little snake's head...

Bai Qingyu could only say that the two of them were 90% similar. With the sharp horns, wasn't the little snake just a miniature version of the white dragon?

Shocked, Bai Qingyu couldn't help but overthink. Before, she had said she didn't know the white dragon, so showing her how a white dragon died was somewhat inexplicable. But now it was different. If it was a small snake, was the Demon King deliberately showing it to her?

The little snake held its head high and rubbed its chin against Bai Qingyu's hand, as if to say, "It's been a long time."

Bai Qingyu put the little snake down, unable to figure it out for a moment, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She hadn't been sure if last night's dream was about something that would happen in the future or something that had already happened in the past, but now, seeing the little snake, she was almost certain it was her. If so, it must be something that happened in the future, and quite far in the future, at least a few years from now.

The little snake has been with her for three or four years, and it has only grown from a little over one meter to a little over five meters. The white dragon in her dream was at least eighteen meters long. It would take at least ten years for her to grow to that size.

Moreover, ten years is considered short. Most snakes would need to reach this size to achieve the Golden Core stage, and ten years wouldn't even be enough for them to develop intelligence.

"Zhentian, you and Xiaoshe and Xiaodie stay at home. I'm going out to look around and rent a courtyard. It's too noisy here."

He got up, took the remaining money, and left, leaving the little snake and Zhen Tian staring at each other in the house.

Zhen Tian knew this snake was clever, so he told her about Dong Qing and Chang Sheng, and that they wouldn't be able to see each other for a long time afterward.

The little snake really could understand human speech, and its eyes were full of sadness.

At the same time, Dong Qing was cultivating on Jinxu Peak of Tianyang Palace.

Jinxu Peak and Jianfeng are very similar, both practicing swordsmanship, but Jinxu Peak has another business—weapon forging. Disciples here can be either sword cultivators or blacksmiths, and this is overseen not by Feng Yuan, but by her younger brother, Feng Shan.

Instead of practicing swordsmanship that day, Dongqing went to the Sword Forging Pavilion.

The Sword Forging Pavilion is not a pavilion but is located inside the mountain. As soon as you enter, you feel a strong heat wave hit you. Dong Qing felt like his eyelashes were about to be ignited.

The clanging of blacksmithing echoed continuously. Inside the Sword Forging Pavilion, a river of lava bubbled and bubbled, its flow divided by steel rails, transporting the lava to various locations. Dong Qing had just arrived when a disciple wielded a giant steel hammer beside him, raising it high before smashing a long metal bar, soaked in lava, flattening it and sending sparks flying.

Dongqing quickly dodged, and the sweating disciple noticed Dongqing, hurriedly stopped what he was doing and apologized.
