Fairies, please don't talk to me about love

"Jiang Xue, why are you wearing this kind of clothes? This dress doesn't look good at all."

On the way, the young ladies all started asking about this matter. Hua Jiangxue was so beautiful and had a great figure. It could be said that she had the best innate configuration among them.

Why did she dress so plainly? And she dressed so conservatively, not even showing her legs. Those young masters would basically not even look at her.

"I'm used to it, yeah."

This is not empty talk, she is really used to it.

And she also hated the way those so-called gentlemen looked at those flashy women.

He is not a gentleman at all, but a beast.

"I see...By the way, Jiang Xue, we can talk about everything this time. Are you ready?"

"Of course I'm ready."

The last time Hua Jiangxue went out with these young ladies, she promised to show her paintings to all of them next time they got together.

Many people present showed great interest in this, because they had long heard about the fact that Hua Jiangxue was very good at painting.

"That's great. We are all waiting to see your Divine Phoenix Soaring Sky Map!"

Chapter 76: Marching on Miracles

A young lady from a wealthy family took Hua Jiangxue's painting of a flying phoenix and happily walked to the center of the crowd of young men and women with it, then unfolded the scroll and displayed it in front of everyone.

Just as everyone was marveling at this, a ball of black flame suddenly fell from the sky and finally landed behind the rich lady.

"Not bad, the Divine Phoenix... Well, this person painted it very vividly. Who painted it?"

The originally bustling courtyard suddenly fell silent, and the young men and women's eyes were all fixed on the person who spoke.

His entire body was covered in black flames, and his body also had many marks resembling flames.

How could they not see that this was the evil cultivator Mo Yan who had suddenly appeared to wreak havoc on the world recently, the great villain who had already burned down seven or eight cities.

"I drew it."

Hua Jiangxue stood up. Seeing how brave she was, the ladies behind her hurried forward and grabbed the corner of her clothes and tried to pull her down, but it was obviously too late to stop her at this time.

Because Mo Yan had already carried the scroll and was suspended in front of her again.

"Not bad, not bad. I am very satisfied with the divine phoenix you drew, so..."

Mo Yan snapped his fingers with his free hand, and the courtyard instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"I specially allow you to live for a while longer."

Hua Jiangxue didn't make any movement. She didn't look around, nor did she glare at Mo Yan.

All she had eyes for was her own painting.

On the scroll, the phoenix emitting five-colored divine light was gradually swallowed by the black flames and finally disappeared in Mo Yan's hands.

"It's a good drawing, little girl. I suddenly want you to stay alive. Look around you. Those who held you back just now should be your friends, right?"

"..."

"Hehehe~ They have already turned into charcoal. Perhaps, you can use them as charcoal fire in the future - Oh? Someone is chasing me so soon."

......

The Sword God descended in front of Hua Jiangxue, grabbed her shoulders and asked her seriously:

"Where is he?"

"Southwest, just left not long ago."

"Ah."

The Sword God left very cleanly and neatly, and she didn't have time to deal with the aftermath here.

She must bring that demon Yan to justice immediately.

Hua Jiangxue picked up her luggage and left the Zhongzhou Imperial City.

She was now penniless again.

When she first came here she had scrolls that would have allowed her to paint hundreds of times, but now she has nothing but some rough clothes.

If you ask why, well.

Because she survived in the end.

Whether it was the jealousy or suspicion of the wealthy family, it made it difficult for her, a single woman, to survive.

Where will she go in the end?

Of course, I would go back to Lizhou, which I am more familiar with.

There, Hua Jiangxue also had a small thatched hut where she could spend her last period of time.

She was unable to practice cultivation, so in order to find opportunities, she gave up everything she had in Lizhou and went to Zhongzhou, which had the most opportunities.

Now that she has returned in vain, as a mortal still, she can only wait to die of old age in a place where not many people know about it.

After this setback, she buried all her ambitions and dignity deep in her heart.

?

......

"Stop, stop, stop! You want to go into the city without any money?"

The soldiers guarding the city stopped her.

"The rule here is to take the money with one hand and release the person with the other. Take the money!"

"I have no money."

"If you don't have money, get out! Damn it, you're wasting my time."

Hua Jiangxue, who had been waiting in line for a long time, was kicked out of the team. It seemed that it was not feasible to come to the city where the God of Alchemy was to look for opportunities.

"Jiang Xue, Jiang Xue, why are you so stupid? You can only draw a crappy picture, but you still dream of becoming a big shot like the God of Pills or the God of Swords...why don't you give up?"

At night, Hua Jiangxue found a cave outside the city and stayed there temporarily.

I have to say that the security here seems a bit worrying. In the afternoon, she almost walked into a village that looked like a bandit gathering place.

It’s amazing that there is a mountain stronghold so close to the big city.

"Can't give up! Jiang Xue, have you forgotten?"

After giving herself a deep breath, Hua Jiangxue leaned against the stone wall of the cave and fell asleep.

She was not worried that she would be stabbed to death by evil beasts, because it was a miracle that she, a mortal woman, could survive until now.

She wants to continue living on this miracle.

Chapter 77: Courage and Never Give Up

(The timeline is several decades after Ji Yuanqing pacified Qianzhou. At that time, she had not yet taken the initiative to go to Zhongzhou to ask for Qianzhou. There was a gap of two or three hundred years in between.)

“Thank you so much for buying my painting!”

"Oh, little girl, I think these flowers and plants you painted are much more beautiful than those expensive things. It's better to say that I, your aunt, made a profit."

Hua Jiangxue took the copper coins with a smile. After selling several of her treasured paintings, she finally collected enough money to go into the city.

......

"Master Sikong, there is a little girl outside who keeps asking to see you."

"Oh?"

Sikong Yunshao put down his wine glass and said to his steward:

"Let her in. Since she's so anxious, it must be something important."

"Master Sikong, you are indeed very generous. I think that little girl..."

"go quickly."

Not long after, the steward came to Sikong Yunshao with a simply dressed little girl.

When facing Sikong Yunshao, there was no fear on the little girl's face.

"Master Dan Shen, can you let me draw a picture for you?"

"why."

Hua Jiangxue looked directly into Sikong Yunshao's green eyes, and then praised him directly:

"Because you are very beautiful!"

"..."

This made it difficult for Sikong Yunshao to refuse.

"Okay, sure, but you have to give me your drawing when you're done."

"Ok!"

After saying this, Hua Jiangxue just stayed where she was without making any movement.

"No more painting?"

"Report to Master Danshen, I don't have any drawing paper."

......

"One thousand spiritual silver!"

After painting the portrait of Sikong Yunshao, Hua Jiangxue got her first pot of gold after returning to Lizhou.

Sure enough, the braver you are, the fuller you eat.

Where should I go next? How about going to Qianzhou to try my luck with Fengxian?

Forget it, the situation over there has just been pacified and Fengxian is already too busy to handle it - it’s better not to go and die.

After leaving the city where the God of Alchemy was, she got on a carriage. The driver of the carriage was an old lady.

"Little girl, are you sure you want to go to the city you mentioned?"

"Of course."

"Hey, you probably don't know yet, that city has been burned to ashes by that big evil man's magic flame, and even the small village next to it was not spared!"

Lizhou is the place most affected by the demonic flame, without a doubt, because there is currently no powerful person who has transcended the tribulation to rule Lizhou.

So no one can catch him here.

He wisely avoided Sikong Yunshao, because no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this person must not be touched.

Now there was only a Sword God chasing him from behind, and he was still able to make the Sword God run around in circles under such circumstances...

After killing Sikong Yunshao, can he still get away with making all the people in the world who are undergoing tribulations run around in circles?

No.

"Oh - then I won't go."

"Okay, little girl, do you want to go back? I'll return your money to you."

"Forget it, Auntie, just take me there."

In the end, Hua Jiangxue chose to return to that place.

What if that place has not been discovered?

......

After getting off the carriage, Hua Jiangxue skipped and hopped with her luggage that had swelled again, walking among the mountains and forests that looked unchanged.
