Chapter 15 Illness and Incompetence(1/2)
Liren Peak has thousands of bluestone steps stretching upwards, and the two-person-high World Spirit Monument is quiet and simple, like an immortal left alone in the world.
The World Spirit Monument is erected on the mountainside. The surrounding bluestones are covered with spiritual stones, and vigorous spiritual energy is constantly overflowing.
The entire Liren Peak is covered with a layer of glass-like barrier, blocking outsiders.
A man in a fierce red shirt stands at the World Spirit Monument holding a long knife.
Xue Man has a gorgeous face and an arrogant expression. Her long red hair is braided and hangs down on her shoulders. The narrow red mark between her eyebrows looks like it is burning with flames.
He seemed to be bathed in fire, and his thin clothes were opened messily, revealing half of his lean chest, which was very eye-catching.
Xue Manzhuang stood the long knife on the ground and said in a high-spirited voice: "The demon clan Xue Manzhuang! Come and propose marriage!"
A black spiritual butterfly landed on his shoulder, and he advised him softly: "Young Master, Shen Fengxue has already reached the Mahayana stage, and very few people in the entire Three Realms and Nine States can defeat him."
What this means is that if you want to beat him, you still have a little bit of trouble.
Xue Manzhuang is arrogant and has blind confidence in himself. He is confident: "That's just right. I will be the first person to defeat Shen Fengxue and make him willing to follow me."
Lingdie hesitated and said: "You said the same thing last time..."
Then Shen Fengxue beat him mercilessly and vomited several liters of blood. It took him two years to recover.
Xue Manzhuang refused to listen and picked up the long knife and swung it twice. A flame suddenly burst out from the red long knife and condensed into a phoenix bathed in fire. It circled in the air several times and disappeared into the air with a scream. .
He stretched out his tongue and licked the corners of his lips, and the red mark between his eyebrows seemed to be burning.
The disciples of Zhibaitang rushed to the World Spirit Monument in a swarm, and Shen Gurong walked at the end, neither near nor far away.
Mu Ban was so happy that he didn't want to join in the fun, but Yu Xinghe grabbed his sleeve and clamored to go see it. Mu Ban was so noisy that he had no choice but to follow.
Shen Gurong leisurely followed the two little dumplings in front of him and stuffed a candied fruit in his hand into his mouth.
Mu Ban glanced at it accidentally and suddenly frowned.
Where did his preserves... come from?
Mu Ban hesitated for a moment and had a guess in his mind.
Shen Gurong: "Mu Ban's candied fruit is quite delicious."
Mu Ban: "..."
When was it stolen?!
Mu Ban was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered his eyes.
Yu Xinghe looked at him curiously: "Why are you laughing?"
Mu Ban pursed his lips and shook his head: "It's nothing - we agreed to just take a look and go back."
Yu Xinghe nodded: "Yeah, yeah!"
Shen Gurong finished one candied fruit and waited until the candied fruit core contained no sweetness anymore before he arrived at the World Spirit Monument.
Looking from a distance, in front of the open space of the World Spirit Monument, a man who looked like he was turned into spirit stood there holding a long knife. He looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
Shen Gurong raised his eyebrows, is this the man who is coming to propose marriage?
There are no female cultivators in Liren Peak. This man came to propose marriage with such a big fanfare, most likely because he wanted to marry a man.
Shen Gurong clicked his tongue twice, thinking that you cultivators are really open-minded, and men marry men with such great ostentation.
Thinking about it like this, Shen Gurong wanted to know who this man asked to marry. Was he more beautiful than a fairy?
Shen Gurong put his hands in his wide sleeves and walked over slowly.
Lisuo was speaking to the man in front of the World Spirit Monument with a respectful tone: "Young Master Xue, please wait a moment. The master will be here soon."
The demon clan and Liren Peak have always been on good terms, and the former headmaster of Liren Peak, Nan Shangjun, even accepted a demon cultivator as his apprentice.
This domineering Xue Manzhuang is none other than Phoenix, the son of the Demon Lord.
Xue Manzhuang was pampered and pampered since she was a child. She was rebellious, lawless and arrogant, and caused a lot of trouble to the demon clan overtly and covertly.
Decades ago, the Demon Lord brought him to Liren Peak to discuss important matters with Nanfang. Xue Manzhuang immediately fell in love with the cold and arrogant Shen Fengxue.
Xue Manzhuang was originally a phoenix, and in human form, she had an extraordinary appearance. From a young age, she felt that she was the most beautiful in the world. Even Sang Luofu, who topped the list of beauties in the three worlds in Fenglu City, felt that she was not even as good as him by a hair.
Until he met Shen Fengxue...
On the same day, he rushed to Nan Xiang, the headmaster of Liren Peak, and directly threatened to ask Nan Xiangjun to give Shen Fengxue to him as a furnace cauldron.
Furnace tripods are specially used by monks to collect yin and replenish yang, and they often have low status.
He humiliated Shen Fengxue so much in front of Lord Nanshang that even Xi Guxing, who had always been at odds with Shen Fengxue, drew his sword in anger and almost struck him with a sword.
When Nan Shangjun heard this, he looked at Xue Manzhuang coldly for a long time and suddenly laughed.
Xue Manzhuang thought he had agreed, but before she was happy, she was slapped by Nanshangjun until she vomited blood.
The demon lord on the side: "..."
The Demon Lord has known Nanshangjun for hundreds of years, and he has never seen him so angry before.
Xi Guxing was blocked by two junior brothers, each holding an arm, preventing him from chopping Xue Manzhuang. He couldn't break away, so he had to jump up in the air and kick him, but he couldn't hold him back.
"You bastard! You stupid bug! You forgetful beast!"
Demon Lord: "..."
The corners of the Demon Lord's lips twitched.
Even though Xi Guxing was furious like this, Shen Fengxue stood aside as if it had nothing to do with him, holding up his wide sleeves that trailed to the ground, lowering his eyes slightly, with a cold expression on his brows.
From beginning to end, his expression never changed.
I don't know where Xue Manzhuang's bad habit came from. Seeing Shen Fengxue's cool appearance, she was even more aroused.
He was covered in blood and still shouted: "I want him! Father, I want him!"
Demon Lord: "..."
Do you want to die on Liren Peak?!
Seeing Xue Manzhuang being so fascinated by Shen Fengxue, the Demon Lord was so angry that he almost beat the evil traitor to death with another palm.
Since then, Xue Manzhuang came to Liren Peak to look for Shen Fengxue every once in a while, although every time she was either beaten by Nan Xiang or Xi Guxing and the others.
There were a few times when Xue Manzhuang even drugged Shen Fengxue by any means, and was beaten up by Xi Guxing and Shen Fengxue in a mixed doubles match. Half of her body feathers fell off and she couldn't come out to continue doing evil for several years.
Xue Manzhuang becomes more and more courageous with every setback.
For the sake of beauty, you really don’t want to die.
Back then, there was a wooden sign beside the Liren Peak World Spirit Monument, which read: Xue Manzhuang and ghost cultivators are not allowed to enter.
Xi Guxing also beat this desperate phoenix. When Xue Manzhuang heard his name, she raised her eyebrows: "I don't see Xi Guxing, he is very ugly."
In his eyes, except for him and Shen Fengxue, everyone else in the world was so ugly that it hurt his eyes.
Li Suo: "..."
Lisuo almost couldn't hold back his anger and scolded him, but this person had a distinguished status, and Lisuo could not cause trouble for Liren Peak without authorization. He could only continue to say gently: "Young Master of the Demon Clan is here, and it is natural for the master to receive the distinguished guests. Of course."
Xue Manzhuang had nothing to say, but he didn't understand how to write euphemistically. He said: "If it is natural, then when I come, Xi Guxing should have withdrawn the world spirit and let me go directly to find Shen Fengxue."
Li Suo laughed dryly.
At this moment, the eyes of Xue Manzhuang, who had always been arrogant and domineering, suddenly lit up. She stepped forward quickly and slapped the world spirit barrier with her palm, creating a series of ripples in the barrier with a "boom" sound.
"Shen Fengxue!"
Shen Gurong, who was about to step forward to watch the show, paused, his face full of confusion.
Ah? What? Me?
When Xue Manzhuang saw Shen Gurong, her eyes were full of enthusiasm, staring straight at him.
Shen Gurong: "???"
Is Shen Fengxue an acquaintance?
Xue Manzhuang: "Shen Fengxue! Come out! Come and fight!"
Shen Gurong: "..."
Oh, you just came to me for a fight.
Shen Gurong breathed a sigh of relief quietly, thinking to himself, I thought he was proposing to me, and I was shocked.
Xue Manzhuang laughed wildly and said again: "Fight me!"
Shen Gurong didn't want to fight with him, he just wanted to see a man propose to a man.
He had only heard about "The Love of the Cut Sleeve" from storytellers. He had never seen it with his own eyes when he was so old. This was an eye-opener.
Shen Gurong looked forward to it.
Shen Gurong waited.
But Xue Manzhuang didn't know if her brain was burned out, so she kept looking for him to fight.
Shen Gurong could only say: "Okay, I'll admit it first..."
To be continued...
