Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

Over time, she even began to feel that this was what she was living for, as if this was the meaning of her life.

She didn't initially want it to be so boring and tedious, but she had no choice; if she relaxed even a little, she would lose everything.

Now that she no longer had to think about it, the pressure disappeared, and she felt like she had lost something, with only the word "absurd" left in her heart.

Chu Mingkong changed his mood and held the little lamb up to the white-haired woman:

"How about we take a stroll around your Snow River Divine City now?"

Little Sheep misses the elder who gave her power, and Yunhan also misses her master!

Chapter 290 Reconnecting with Her

When Chu Mingkong discussed with Asuluo whether the memory inheritance would affect the original body, Asuluo gave a negative answer and also gave him a suggestion on how to deal with the matter of the Lord of Xuechuan.

That means we should just treat her as Shen Xuejun; they are essentially the same person.

Chu Mingkong had a sudden realization about this matter at the time, but he didn't really understand it. Now, however, he can somewhat understand some of the reasons behind it.

Those who reach the level of Lord of Snow River have an extremely strong sense of vigilance, rejection, and aversion to "accidents" that are out of their control.

This is not hard to understand, because she had been competing with the other supreme beings for a long time, from the twenty-four powerful figures of the so-called "Twelve Heavens and Twelve Earths" all the way down to the six seats of the present generation.

In this long chase, any "unexpected" factor, any factor beyond our control, may bring about unpredictable results.

She could not accept that her fate would be simply decided by an "unknown" blind box.

Shen Xuejun was the "accident" she encountered, so she would never admit that this "accident" was related to her.

If Chu Mingkong pushes her too hard, it will be easy for her to back down and completely arouse her dissatisfaction.

Therefore, treat her as if she were Shen Xuejun, and stop asking her how to handle things. That's something to consider only when there's no other way.

Now, it is still possible for the Lord of Snow River to accept the trials he has undergone in the region.

......

Upon arriving at Snow River Divine City, the female cultivators in white silk robes remained as wary and cautious of him as ever.

However, when they saw him bringing over a beautifully shaped little doll to play, the group of female cultivators had strange expressions and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Chu Mingkong composed himself and tried to shift his focus from the role of the Lord of Xuechuan back to that of "Shen Xuejun," but it was still somewhat difficult.

Would you mind giving Meimei a hug?

He picked up the little girl, whose bright, sparkling eyes looked around with great curiosity.

Her clear gaze finally landed on the white-haired beauty. The familiarity with the beauty's primordial spiritual energy made the little girl open her delicate pink arms to her.

Xuejun was somewhat confused by Chu Mingkong's attitude and couldn't figure out his approach.

Her gaze fell on the harmless little girl. In that separated memory, Xuejun had a good impression of the little sheep.

With exceptional talent, he was born with an icy aura and inherited Chu Mingkong's bloodline, so this little guy was born with the ability to control a bit of extreme yin power.

Judging from the spiritual energy of this little guy, Shen Xuejun's power should have been left to this little guy.

Xuejun was wary of Chu Mingkong's unusual attitude, but she didn't really have any aversion to Xiao Meimei.

Because of the echo of the primordial spiritual energy, Xuejun even felt a closeness to this little girl.

The little girl was held in mid-air for quite a while, and Xiao Yunhan was even considering taking Meimei over to avoid hurting her arms from being carried like that.

But the stunningly beautiful woman on the seat still chose to take the little girl in her arms. She lifted her up from a distance, and the little girl was touched to the woman's face by an invisible jade hand.

"This little girl has a very good talent, and her..."

Xuejun was speechless for a moment. She thought of Xiao Yunhan's relationship with Meimei, and for a moment, she didn't know whether to say that Yunhan was Meimei's older sister or aunt.

"His talent is comparable to Yunhan's, but unfortunately he is still young and cannot fully refine the power left behind by 'her'."

"No rush, the gift Xuejun left for Meimei won't disappear anyway. Meimei can cultivate it slowly when she grows up in the future~"

Chu Mingkong said with a smile, but he was truly relieved.

Even if you learn the methodology from Asura, it's still quite difficult to actually apply it.

If Xue Jun didn't respond, Chu Mingkong would be helpless. Fortunately, she still gave Xiao Meimei some face.

The baby still has a lot of face.

"However, speaking of Meimei's skills, they should have been taken over by Yunhan, but now they've all been given to the little guy."

“The circumstances were different then. Mingkong, your soul injury needs treatment, and it would be more suitable to give it to Meimei. Otherwise, if I were to take over those powers, it would be a waste to lose a lot of Master’s power.”

Xiao Yunhan said calmly, without any regret about missing out on the power.

Of course, her current strength has already caught up with Shen Xuejun's back then.

"..."

Xue Jun listened to the two talking, but remained silent herself. However, she found that she could completely understand what Chu Mingkong and Xiao Yunhan were saying.

In that memory, Chu Mingkong and Xiao Yunhan were both her disciples.

Because Chu Mingkong had plunged into the extremely yang corpse water used by Buddhist corpse refiners during his trip to the East Sea, his soul was injured. He only recovered from the injury by practicing harmonious cultivation after returning.

However, Yunhan also lost her original Yin body as a result, and was unable to fully inherit Shen Xuejun's control over her abilities.

...These memories didn't need to be deliberately recalled; they simply surfaced in Xue Jun's mind after Chu Mingkong and the other person mentioned them.

Many thoughts were running through her mind, but Xuejun didn't voice them; her mind remained complicated.

The warm, soft paws of the baby in her arms brought Xuejun back to her senses, and she quickly returned to the main topic:

"The era in which the supreme beings reigned over the heavens is over. Apart from me, they have all perished. What are your plans for the future?"

Chu Mingkong didn't mind the change of topic, as long as Xue Jun didn't directly reject his contact in this way.

He took a sip of tea and said with a troubled expression:

"Actually, I don't know either... Although I know from other places that this kind of competition among supreme beings will eventually lead to destruction, to be honest, I have no real feeling about saving the world from peril, and I have no sense of responsibility."

That felt somewhat empty to me; perhaps I was being short-sighted. I could only care about the women around me.

I actually went to the Heavenly Sword Gods with the intention of settling scores and seeking revenge. Now you want me to decide what the future holds? I can't answer that.

Because I hadn't thought about it. I figured all I'd do was live a quiet life with the girls, traveling and sightseeing, aimlessly wandering around.

His answer was exactly what Xue Jun had expected.

"If left unattended, perhaps many years from now, a new supreme being will emerge."

"Perhaps, but it should be quite difficult. You have almost plundered the essence of the goddess in this life. The rest are in the Abyss, a place that is difficult for beings from both the heaven and earth to set foot in. It is very difficult for a similar supreme being to appear again."

The current situation is to leave it alone.

The cultivators of the Heavenly Realm will certainly feel uneasy about losing their guardian deity, but they will gradually adapt to this new life and return to their own rhythm of cultivation and daily life.

The world will keep turning no matter who is missing.

However, the people of the Heavenly Realm are wary of Snow River Divine City, and yearn for it, as it may become stronger, making it the only supreme existence.

"By the way, Xuejun, there's something else I wanted to ask you about, concerning the Yin time... Do you have any leads?"

Chu Mingkong's words were not clear, but the snow-haired beauty understood them immediately.

He's thinking about how to help the cat find its mother.

...He really is preoccupied with those women.

“I don’t have many clues about this. You should probably ask the person who is protecting you.”

The yin time in the region had little to do with her, but Xuejun, being in the celestial realm, had heard of it to some extent.

"The Yin Time in the region was a product of the Twelve Heavens and Earths period, but the creators at that time did not live to see the harvest day and were taken over by the ancient Buddhas."

However, according to rumors, the original planners intended to return to a time of abundant resources, akin to a return to the past. Unfortunately, this failed, so they had to settle for bringing people and events from the past into the present, treating them as walking resources to be harvested.

This is quite realistic. Although returning to the past or time travel is such a romantic thing, the starting point is only for profit.

Why did they have that initial idea? Were there any scriptures or knowledge that told them they could do it?

"There should be some, but at the time I felt that their methods were not feasible, so I focused on myself and didn't learn much about them."

If you have the ability to inquire, then inquire from this perspective. If you cannot do that, then perhaps you can only imitate them and recreate an untimely death.

"Hey......"

Chu Mingkong sighed, never expecting that this matter would be even more difficult than killing a supreme being.

Shouldn't we have tried to provoke the Heavenly Sword God and the Ancient Buddha into creating another Yin Time, so that they could finish their work for me, Chu, and then I could kill them and reap the rewards of their efforts?

However, there are no "what ifs". At that time, when facing an existence that surpassed all known realms, Chu Mingkong could only do his best. How could he have the leisure to plan so much?

"Alright, I should take Meimei back for dinner now. I've been out all day, and the little one hasn't even had a few sips of milk. I'll come back next time."

Chu Mingkong wanted to chat more, but he also knew that staying any longer would only lead to awkward conversations and could easily ruin things.

It would be better to back down for now and have another baby come and talk to us next time.

Xuejun calmly replied, "Okay, no need to see me out."

......

The next day.

Chu Mingkong once again visited the palace of the Lord of Snow River.

This time, Chu Mingkong came over carrying the cat and shamelessly said:

“After I got back yesterday, the cat knew that the sheep had come with me to see you, and it kept asking to come see you too.”

Oh dear, I'm also in a difficult situation, I'm so sorry to bother you!

The kitten munched on the snack in its little hand and echoed, "Mmm."

This little girl clearly succumbed to her father's culinary bribes.

"Then why aren't you greeting people? You should be polite~" Chu Mingkong quietly touched his daughter's little bracelet.

That's the cat's storage bracelet; it's a silent hint that she can get extra treats when she gets back!

The cat understood, its cheeks still stuffed full, and before it had even swallowed its food, it obediently reached out to the beautiful woman:
