I work as a veterinarian in the mountains, and at the beginning of the game, I find Daji (a legendar

After tightening the blankets Chen Yuze had draped over himself and making a few casual complaints, Ruyi quickly ran into the house.

……

That night, Ruyi had a very long dream.

Or rather, it was in this dream that I witnessed memories from my ancestors.

This dream, spanning a long history, began on an unnamed mountain.

At the east and west ends of the mountain lived two extremely terrifying ferocious beasts.

They are the Devouring Yin Python from the eastern mountain and the Eternal Extinction Scorpion, which dwells on the western mountain.

As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain, let alone the two great demons on this mountain, who are terrifying beings that even celestial immortals would hesitate to approach.

Logically speaking, they should have already started fighting over territory.

In reality, the two families never had any conflicts; in fact, they often visited each other's homes.

As the saying goes, this is a den of snakes and scorpions; even a true immortal would be buried here!

So why is the relationship between these two families so harmonious?

Because the heads of the two families, namely the Devouring Yin Python and the Eternal Extinction Scorpion, are sworn sisters!

In their early years, they traveled together across the country, exploring countless ancient sites and dangerous places.

They also fought back-to-back with countless enemies and villains, risking their lives.

Over the years of fighting side by side, their bond has long transcended the shackles of blood, making them truly inseparable family.

This is why these two incredibly terrifying beasts would...

The reason why they still live on the same mountain after retiring from public life.

However, their harmonious life on the mountain lasted only a little over two hundred years. The two families were wiped out by the arrival of an outsider.

He was an elderly man with graying temples.

At first glance, he appears to be just an ordinary old farmer.

However, his cultivation level was extremely well hidden.

Even if the heads of the East and West families came, they would have no way of seeing through it in a short time.

Moreover, no one expected that the old man's body had already been possessed by a pangolin demon who had cultivated demonic arts!

This pangolin was originally an unknown little demon in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

But by sheer chance, while playing in the water, he obtained a peerless demonic skill and a string of seven-colored gourd artifacts from the pool!

That demonic technique is called the "Abandoning Goodness and Extremely Evil Technique".

Only by abandoning all goodness and justice in one's heart can one achieve great success.

At first, the pangolin wavered because of its remaining conscience.

But under the temptation of immense power, he ultimately succumbed.

He sealed all the goodness in his heart into the gourd artifact he found along with the evil he had acquired, thus creating an incomparably pure evil body.

Later, using a special supernatural power recorded in the demonic arts, he refined the gourd artifact into a puppet with extremely strong combat power—the Vajra Gourd King.

Thus, in just a hundred years, the pangolin demon that possessed the old man's body went from an unknown little demon to one of the strongest beings in the world.

It wasn't until the pangolin encountered a bottleneck in its demonic arts and needed two demon cores with superior bloodlines to help it break through that it gradually faded from everyone's sight.

When he reappeared, he was already at the foot of the nameless mountain where the Devouring Yin Python and the Eternal Extinction Scorpion were entrenched.

The pangolin's goal on this trip was the demon cores of the two people on the mountain.

In reality, if it were a head-on confrontation, he might not be a match for those two.

But don't forget, he still has the King of Diamond Gourds as his trump card.

The Vajra Gourd King not only housed all the goodness of the pangolin, but also absorbed the righteous hearts of countless cultivators during the more than one hundred years that the pangolin had been causing trouble.

Now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the embodiment of extreme justice.

Possessing both pure evil and extreme justice, the pangolin is determined to obtain the demon cores of the snake and scorpion on the mountain!

However, to the pangolin's surprise, the brutality of that battle still exceeded his expectations.

Although he lost all his magical power and fell into a near-eternal slumber, he sealed the supreme bloodlines of the Devouring Yin Python and the Eternal Extinction Scorpion, and severely injured them.

However, the desperate counterattack of these two strongest beings in the world still took down the pangolin without any suspense, and scattered the beast's ashes on the spot.

Unfortunately, both the Devouring Yin Python and the Eternal Extinction Scorpion were already at their last gasp, and they didn't have a top-notch technician like Chen Yuze... oops, a veterinarian by their side.

Finally, after doing everything in their power to preserve the last remaining bloodline from this great war, they passed away one after another.

Their remains were buried by later generations on the eastern and western hilltops respectively.

Today, that mountain has a new name – Poisonous Beauty Mountain.

050. I'm ready, are you?

Ruyi, who was startled awake from her sleep, found that the little white snake had transformed back into human form at some point.

Her face looked slightly haggard, and many strands of hair clung to her face and neck due to sweat. Even her full lips were pale.

"Ok?"

Sensing the movement beside him, Chen Yuze also woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Ruyi sitting on the bed, her clothes disheveled and her face blank, as if she had lost her soul.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Chen Yuze took the towel he always kept by the bedside and wiped the cold sweat off Ruyi's body. He then took Ruyi's left hand with great concern and quietly took her pulse.

Fortunately, there was nothing abnormal about his pulse; he must have just been frightened.

"It seems that I have... awakened a portion of the ancestral memories in my bloodline."

Looking at Chen Yuze beside her, feeling his care and concern, Ruyi's heart gradually calmed down for some reason.

It's as if Chen Yuze has a kind of magic that constantly gives you a sense of security, making you unconsciously want to rely on this man.

"Was it a really bad memory?"

After pouring Ruyi a cup of hot water, Chen Yuze sat on the edge of the bed and gently comforted her:

“I am human, unlike you demon beasts who can awaken memories stored in your bloodline under certain conditions, so I don’t know how you feel right now, Ruyi. But from my perspective, no matter how real or clear these memories are, they cannot change the fact that they are all in the past. So, Ruyi, you don’t really need to care so much.”

"No, that's not how it works."

Taking a small sip of hot tea, Ruyi shook her head with a bewildered expression: "I always feel that there is some other deeper meaning behind the timing of this part of my memory awakening."

"So, Ruyi and Bengong, you two are really noisy!"

Da was awakened by the conversation between Chen Yuze and Ruyi.

He simply transformed back into human form, sat on the bed in a duck-like position, and rubbed his eyes.

As a result, Chen Yuze's small bed suddenly became crowded.

So much so that even the slightest movement from him would cause him to bump into the two girls on the bed.

However, Daji and Ruyi didn't seem to mind at all.

"Stop complaining, it's almost time for breakfast anyway."

After ruffling Daji's hair, Chen Yuze crawled out of bed and stretched.

Although he really wanted to lie down and listen to Ruyi talk, the bed was really too crowded.

In addition, men always have a routine flag-raising ceremony in the morning, and it wouldn't be good if they happened to run into the two girls in bed then.

If things go wrong, it's easy for trouble to happen!

"Ruyi, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Glancing at the gradually brightening sunlight outside the window, Chen Yuze decisively drew the bamboo curtain.

"Even if I wanted to sleep, I couldn't." With a wry smile, Ruyi shook her head. Now, whenever she closed her eyes, the scene from that memory would appear.

"that……"

Just as Chen Yuze was thinking about picking some calming herbs from the herb garden to make some herbal tea for Ruyi, Daji suddenly raised her hand:

"Ruyi, could these memories you just awakened be related to the attack you suffered while shedding your skin?"

"Eh?"

Perhaps because she's been living a comfortable life lately, Ruyi has almost forgotten that she almost lost her life in an attack.

As a result of Daji's reminder, the figure of the Vajra Gourd King in her memory quickly overlapped with the figure of the person who attacked her that day.

Although Ruyi did not see the attacker's face clearly at the time, she would never forget the gourd-shaped hair ornament on his head.

Furthermore, in the memory of that awakening, the Vajra Gourd King did not die, but instead fell into a long slumber...

At this moment, a terrible thought was gradually emerging in Ruyi's mind.

The King of the Golden Gourds has awakened!

Moreover, he had not forgotten the orders given to him by the pangolin back then—to annihilate the Devouring Yin Python and the Eternal Extinction Scorpion!

This explains why Ruyi was attacked while molting.

"not good!"

After figuring out this relationship, Ruyi jumped off the bed.

It wasn't that she was worried the King of Vajra Gourds would come here to cause trouble.

After all, Ruyi trusted Chen Yuze, this unassuming guy, very much.

Although I've never seen Chen Yuze make a move, Ruyi just thinks my man is the most powerful... ptooey, I just think Chen Yuze is extraordinary!

Compared to her own situation, Ruyi was more worried about the other target of the Vajra Gourd King—the Eternal Extinction Scorpion.

Although this was just a guess in Ruyi's mind, she always felt that her best friend, the silly scorpion who taught her that girls should squat to use the toilet instead of standing up, was actually the Eternal Extinction Scorpion whose bloodline was sealed.

If Ruyi's guess is correct, then this stupid scorpion is very likely to become the King of the Golden Gourd's next target.

"Chen Yuze!"
