Each of the nine dragon maidens possesses extraordinary abilities.

Not to mention that Lu Yueyuan was still around when Ming Huaiwei had the accident. Although the latter claimed that he was blasted away by the spiritual energy tide and did not know what happened, Wei Daidan did not believe it at all.

Who else saw through his clumsy lie and began to plot in secret? And Lu Yueyuan himself, did he use such a clumsy lie because he had already figured out their true nature, or did he have another plan in mind?

Wei Daidan didn't know that if she revealed what she knew now, she would be in danger.

This mainly stemmed from what Lu Yueyuan said to her when she visited him last night.

"There's a cafeteria lady who's beautiful and cooks delicious food, but you confiscated her food," Lu Yueyuan said. "Can you give her back to me?"

“Lu Yueyuan, I can understand that you don’t want to act with me anymore?” Wei Daidan said, “Do you know that she is…”

"Is it okay?" Lu Yueyuan stood up, his tall shadow looming over her. She looked up and could see the golden flames burning in his eyes.

Darkness gathered behind him, his posture as upright as a drawn sword, seemingly emitting a humming sound. His face was filled with unwavering resolve, even distorting his features. At least for that moment, Lu Yueyuan's aura overwhelmed Wei Daidan.

"What are you going to do? Want to fight? Want to start a war? You think I'm afraid of you? I'm very strong, let me tell you. Although I don't know what your trump card is, I won't be afraid when we fight. Come on, come on, come on!" Wei Daidan suddenly bared his teeth and brandished his claws.

"I'm just discussing this with you." Lu Yueyuan suddenly laughed and patted her on the head.

"How dare you! How dare you! How dare you! It's you, it's you! I'm going to have them beat you to death!"

"I want to see him tomorrow," Lu Yueyuan said.

"Let it go!" Wei Daidan roared, then turned and left.

"Thank you," Lu Yueyuan said suddenly. "I didn't expect you to have this side to you. It's very cute. Let's get along well in the future."

Ah... I want to die, I want to die, I want to die...

"What are you doing?" Wei Daidan looked up and saw Su Zhaoran suddenly standing in front of her.

Their eyes met, but Su Zhaoran's eyes remained expressionless, while Wei Daidan averted her gaze for a moment. However, as one of the guardians, she knew Su Zhaoran well enough to glare back fiercely.

"What are you doing?" Shi Bingxin, who was standing next to him, suddenly said slowly, "At this distance, you're either lovers or rivals in love."

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I was rude." Su Zhaoran scratched her head, laughed awkwardly, and returned to her seat. People were used to her quirky personality, so no one cared.

Wei Daidan looked up at Shi Bingxin, who was tilting her head and sizing her up.

Everyone was still discussing the allocation and disposal of Huai Zai Mai, and even Ji Cheng's incarnation was discussing it.

However, her incarnation was merely a disguise; her true self was stopped by someone on the road.

The man who stopped her was probably in his twenties, a burly man with a very strong build, like a bear reincarnated.

Ji Cheng said he knew who he was, of course; he was the protector of the first lineage and Ling Suxian's messenger.

He said, "Ji... Ji Cheng said, sir, you, you, you haven't completed the task, I... I can't give it to you, the thing." This person looked like a bear, but spoke softly like a woman, and stuttered.

Ji Cheng said he got angry just listening to him speak, and asked impatiently, "I did everything she asked me to do, why won't you give it to me? Are you trying to cheat me?"

The burly man said, "No, no, no, it's not... it is, it is, it is..."

Ji Cheng said, "You my foot! Can't you get to the point?"

The burly man said, "Yes, yes, it's because you, you, you, haven't, haven't, haven't... completed the mission!"

Ji Cheng said, "Before I kill you, write down what you want to say in a talisman for me." Then she threw a blank talisman at the burly man, clenched her fist, and the sky changed color. Even the heavens were terrified by Ji Cheng's clenched fist gesture.

The burly man dared not delay, and quickly used his spiritual energy to draw a talisman, then respectfully handed it over. After reading it, Ji Cheng frowned.

She frowned and asked, "That Lu Yueyuan does annoy me, but does he really have that kind of ability?"

"Yes...yes...yes..." the burly man said, "Lu, Lu, Lu...Lu Yueyuan..." He continued, "He's been favored...he's the one who was chosen...stirring up time, making you, you, you, unhappy...it's all because of...you, your...entanglement..."

Ji Cheng said, "I'll throw a punch."

The force of the punch grazed the burly man's ear, and everything behind him—mountains, rivers, clouds, and lakes—vanished and disappeared.

Ji Cheng asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

The burly man replied, "Lu Yueyuan is the one who received the inheritance. He was chosen by the former sect leader. He has the aura of time and cause and effect on him. Your intuition is very strong. Your displeasure with him must be because of your karmic entanglement."

"Can't you just talk properly?!"

"Huh? Yeah, I've stopped stuttering! Yay! ヽ(??▽?)ノ"

Chapter 59: Giant Panda? Iron-Eating Beast!

The burly man walked dejectedly to a small hut.

Inside the small house, the woman sat at the table, her long gray-blue hair tied into a high bun with a white jade pipe, and she wore a moon-white wide-sleeved robe, looking serene and beautiful.

The burly man first respectfully bowed three times at the door before entering.

He said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, sir, I can't convince Ji Cheng that she rejected us."

The woman chuckled lightly, not minding at all, and instead said, "Your stuttering is cured."

The burly man scratched his head sheepishly, looking embarrassed: "Hehe, yes, Ji Cheng said he got punched, it was so scary, but I don't know how I got better."

The woman smiled and nodded: "That's great. You see, there's always good news. Although my sister rejected me, she cured you. For me, that's a great reward."

As she spoke, the woman placed her hand on the zither on the table. She raised her head slightly, revealing her dim eyes; it turned out she was blind.

The burly man said, feeling wronged, "But she doesn't believe you, in fact, nobody believes you."

The woman did not speak.

The burly man whimpered, "This is so unfair." Then he turned and ran away, sprinting up the hill behind the mountain.

Snow began to fall from the sky without anyone noticing. The burly man revealed his true form, transforming into an upright, iron-eating beast. With a roar, the surrounding barrier opened, revealing its lair.

Human skin, bones, magical artifacts, secret treasures... countless treasures filled the cave, but it ignored them and walked all the way to the very back.

"Please tell me the answer." It kowtowed to a memorial tablet, on which was the name of its owner—Ling Suxian. Subtle fluctuations swirled around it; it was the scent of destiny.

It prayed: "You will become a new god, your name will become law under the protection of destiny, I sincerely pray for your ascension, I will become your first believer."

It was clumsy when it kowtowed. In the end, the iron-eating beast was a clumsy animal. It rummaged through the pile of spoils and put some on the memorial tablet, which became the offerings. In fact, Ling Suxian had scolded it many times. Those things were meant for its cultivation, but it used them to do such things.

An animal without intelligence, through the hands-on teaching of its owner, came to understand destiny, developed its own heart, and became aware of its own soul. It used to resist learning; when Ling Suxian tried to teach it, it would throw tantrums, smashing and hitting things, and even chewing up many objects in the process.

In the end, however, it came to understand Ling Suxian. It realized that not all humans could teach animals to be intelligent. When it threw tantrums, she would play the piano to soothe its emotions. And so, without realizing it, it began to have human emotions. It had an amazing idea: it wanted to become the first believer of adults.

Ling Suxian never revealed her true feelings; she was almost devoid of emotion, only capable of playing the piano. To please her, it learned to speak in a sweet, girlish voice. She said she had a slight stutter, otherwise she would be fine, so it became anxious, trying to cure its stutter, but unexpectedly, it was cured by a twist of fate.

So this is what it's like to pray in one breath. Before, I prayed intermittently, and it always felt strange.

Ji Cheng said he didn't have the patience to listen to it talk, but Ling Suxian was very patient. She would gently pat the thick pads on its paws and patiently listen to it finish speaking. Sure enough, it was right. Such a good owner shouldn't be a lackey of the Four Gods; she should be a god herself.

The Iron-Eating Beast patted its face, making a cute expression.

(●'?'●)

Three years ago, the Iron-Eating Beast and Ling Suxian passed through a city where a monster could make all sorts of adorable expressions. Even though Ling Suxian couldn't see it, she still exclaimed how cute it was. Luckily, she didn't buy the monster. After they returned, the Iron-Eating Beast started imitating it.

After the worship was finished, the Iron-Eating Beast put the offerings back, wiped the memorial tablet, and put it away.

Year after year, the Iron-Eating Beast had been with Ling Suxian for a long time, sincerely hoping that she would be happy. It didn't like the tunes she played on the piano; they were different from the ones that used to soothe its emotions, and were filled with sadness.

It could have left; Ling Suxian had arranged a very good place for it, but it didn't want to.

It wanted to be with her, no matter what.

The Four Gods: Destruction, Fate, and the End of All Things. If one day justice judges Ling Suxian, it too shall be judged.

Even if Ling Suxian didn't care whether she lived or died, so too was the Iron-Eating Beast. Failing to become a god meant that it would simply be condemned to eternal damnation.

Sometimes, the Iron-Eating Beast would complain that Ling Suxian was too willful. Knowing so much, she should have acted sooner, but she did nothing and didn't consider herself at all. This was too much. The Iron-Eating Beast really wanted to throw a tantrum like when it was a child.

Throwing a tantrum, throwing a tantrum, throwing a tantrum.

Okay, actually it didn't really want to throw a tantrum. It just wanted to hear Ling Suxian's tune from back then, even just once.

Did she no longer care about it? She stopped playing it and just sat there quietly by herself.

Waiting for the fate that awaits them.

Now, a mournful melody is coming from that little house again; it's an indescribable sadness, the kind of sadness that makes you unable to cry.

In fact, the Iron-Eating Beast doesn't understand music at all. It simply doesn't like this sad feeling. They are clearly very powerful. Ling Suxian is the most powerful guardian of the meridians, and it is also the most powerful demon beast. Apart from the gods, who can be their opponent?

Ke Ling Su Xian was simply immersed in her own world; her music would draw everyone who heard it into her world.

"Ah, Lu Yueyuan, Ming Huaiwei..."

Strange noises suddenly came from inside.

The iron-eating beast sensed something was amiss, transformed into human form, and cautiously pushed open the door to go inside.

Ling Suxian seemed to be in a strange state. She lowered her hand and muttered to herself.

"Over and over again, like a nightmare..."

"You are so persistent, that's why I'm so moved..."

What are you saying?

The iron-eating beast leaned closer and saw that Ling Suxian's face was flushed.

???

"Who's next? Is it Wei Daidan, or the eighth person, my sister who's always been hiding her secret...?"

She made a praying gesture and murmured to herself outside:

"May you achieve great things, may your name live on forever, may you be elevated to a new god, and may your deeds be immortalized in a new world."

......no?

The iron-eating beast was greatly shocked.

I'm praying for you to become a god over there, but who are you praying for?

Lu Yueyuan, who had just returned to his cave from Baidi City, suddenly sneezed.

"What's wrong?" the Holy Emperor asked.

“I have a bad feeling,” Lu Yueyuan said. “Someone is cursing me.”

"Let me take a look! Hmm... nothing there, and your soul is glowing."

What does "glowing" represent?

"Someone is praying for you, no, who here believes in you?" The Holy Emperor roared in anger. "What do you mean, trying to intimidate me again?"

Chapter 60: On the verge of death! On the verge of death!

Wei Daidan poked his head out of the spiritual spring.

Three days have passed since the discussion about Huai Zai Mai.

She floated in the spring, helplessly blowing bubbles, gurgling and bubbling.

It's been three days...

She actually gave up on gluttony, because her powers told her that this was the safe way.

How embarrassing!

As someone who protects the pulse, this is really too embarrassing... Oh well, it doesn't matter, as long as I'm safe, that's all that matters.

Ming Huaiwei has been dealt with by Lu Yueyuan, which means that the sealed god has already intervened, and the current situation is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

As long as we don't tear off the mask of civility, she is still the protector of the Jiuyi Sect and a descendant of the Dragon God. We can sit down and talk things over instead of resorting to violence.

However, Lu Yueyuan is truly ruthless. Ming Huaiwei was his childhood sweetheart, and now even her bloodline has disappeared; it's highly likely she's been reduced to ashes...

Glug glug, Wei Daidan blew bubbles. Now she was probably the person in the entire sect who knew the situation best.

She was the third-ranked guardian, and only Ling Suxian and Ji Cheng were stronger than her. Her powers allowed her to make many preparations.

Wei Daidan possesses a considerable number of high-quality magical artifacts and has extensive knowledge of arrays, talismans, curses, fate, and karma. In order to avoid danger, she has essentially transformed herself into an all-rounder.

That's why she realized early on that someone had set up an array at Wuming Peak, but her sense of danger made her choose to remain silent.

no doubt.

That was a setup targeting her sister. After Ming Huaiwei and Lu Yueyuan entered, Lu Yueyuan was thrown out like a dog, while Ming Huaiwei's fate was unknown.

If their fate is unknown, then they are dead.

The mastermind behind all of this is Lu Yueyuan, and the forbidden god behind him...
