Chapter 262: Without the skin, where will the hair stay?
Guangrun Mansion.
It was a very foggy morning in late autumn.
It is a custom for local people to have a bowl of hot food in the morning.
Chu Yi went back to the military camp to report his safety first, while You Huang sat in front of the wonton stall, enjoying the food leisurely.
There was also a bowl of wontons in front of Xue Zun. It was Youhuang's forced request, with the reason being that if one walked in the human world, one had to live like a human being, and it was wrong not to eat.
"Why did Dongjun take you to the secret realm?"
Xue Zun put down the spoon and asked directly. He guessed that Dong Jun didn't go to Youhuang just to ask questions.
You Huang swallowed the wonton in his mouth slowly: "They returned to the secret realm to find a fifth-level monster. I took them to the location where they encountered the fifth-level monster."
"There can't be a fifth-level monster in the secret realm." Xue Zun reminded You Huang calmly. You Huang said slowly, "The one chasing me that day was a fifth-level ancient monster."
"Why didn't you tell me then?"
"I didn't know at the time that a fifth-level monster could not appear in the secret realm."
On the way to the secret realm, she was sleeping the whole time, and no one told her what was going on in the secret realm, otherwise she would have missed the ninth-grade transformation elixir.
"Did they tell you what that fifth-level monster you saw was?"
"I told you, it's a ninth-grade elixir." You Huang didn't hide it and said casually, "It's a pity that it hasn't reached the level of an immortal elixir. Its effect is not as good as the Soul-Transferring Fruit."
"Ninth-grade elixirs are extremely rare, but you don't have any regrets at all. It should have belonged to you." Xue Zun was a little surprised that he didn't see Youhuang beating her chest in regret. This was not like her character.
You Huang said lazily: "I can't use it now. Carrying the ninth-grade elixir with me is like carrying a death warrant. I don't know if I can live to see my 15th birthday."
"I am a little surprised that Dong Jun would let you go so easily." Xue Zun looked at You Huang with doubts, but You Huang looked up at her and said, "Senior, you want to ask why Ran Hai didn't torture me all the way like he did last time, but let me leave unscathed."
Youhuang had long guessed that Dongjun would not be able to take her away easily without his permission.
"You guessed it all."
Xue Zun was neither surprised nor embarrassed.
You Huang snorted coldly and said, "Because his cultivation was suppressed in the human world, I took advantage of his weakness and stabbed him with the thorns of the soul-attached flower, and then he was crippled."
“You actually poisoned Ran Hai with the love flower poison!” Xue Zun’s smile disappeared, and You Huang pouted, “Ever since he pushed me into the soul-attaching flower bush, I secretly swore that sooner or later I would let him taste the love flower poison, but he ended up being useless.”
"What do you mean by directly scrapping it?" Xue Zun asked in confusion.
"After Ran Hai was stabbed by the flower thorn, not only did the love flower poison not take effect, but he seemed to be immobilized by a spell and couldn't move at all."
"Do you know what's going on?" You Huang looked at Xue Zun in confusion. Xue Zun pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know what an incarnation is?"
"I know a little bit. In layman's terms, it means to create another identical body besides yourself. To put it simply, it is a clone."
Youhuang explained casually.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and said in surprise: "You mean Beijun Ranhai is an incarnation."
If Ran Hai is just an incarnation, combined with Dong Jun's words, You Huang said in disbelief: "I heard from Dong Jun that Ran Hai was personally promoted by the Demon Lord to be one of the Four Lords. Could it be that he is the Demon Lord's incarnation?"
"The Demon Lord's incarnation cannot be so weak."
Xue Zun's words dispelled You Huang's thoughts, and hesitantly said: "Being able to be personally supported by the Demon Lord, perhaps he is the reincarnation of an old friend."
"What? The reincarnation of an old friend? Or maybe it's fertilizer for the Demon Lord to overcome his tribulation."
Youhuang replied indifferently that in his previous life, the Demon Lord not only failed to overcome the tribulation but also left hidden injuries. He didn't know what would happen in this life.
Xue Zun looked at You Huang in confusion and asked, "You seem to be pessimistic about Demon Zun. Did you predict that he would not succeed in overcoming the tribulation, or do you simply think that he would not succeed?"
"If he was really sure, why would he need to search everywhere for natural treasures?" You Huang said disapprovingly, looking at Xue Zun and said, "When Xue Zun passed the calamity and ascended to heaven, he didn't have to go through as much trouble as Mo Zun. Did he search everywhere for divine tools, spiritual fruits, and elixirs?"
"Of course not, but it will be more difficult for the Demon Lord to overcome the tribulation." Xue Zun looked at Youhuang meaningfully, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Why is it more difficult for the Demon Lord to overcome the tribulation?" You Huang Congshan Naliu asked in confusion. Xue Zun sighed and said calmly, "The Demon Lord has committed too many sins along the way. In order to cleanse his sins, the heavenly way will send him heavier thunder. Few demon cultivators can withstand it."
"I see."
After Youhuang finished speaking, he ate the last wonton in the bowl.
Staring at the bowl in front of Xue Zun, he said, "If you don't want to eat it, why not give it to me?"
"you eat."
Xue Zun was stunned for a moment and pushed the bowl in front of Youhuang.
Looking at You Huang who was enjoying his meal, he showed a hint of doubt and said, "You seem to have regained your appetite a lot. You have forgotten the scene you saw when you formed the pill."
"Believe it or not, I will spit out everything I ate on you." You Huang warned coldly, "Don't bring up that matter again. Being able to eat is a blessing. For people like you and me who have a long life span, I don't know if I will be able to eat the same bowl of wontons next time I come here."
"I know that you gave your parents the Red Face Fruit, which can keep them young, but they will die one day. How will you face it then?"
Ordinary people are inevitably aging, sickness and death. Chu Youhuang seems to have no deep feelings for her parents, but they are not completely without status in her heart. The so-called calamity in the world is not only about the love between men and women, but also the blood relationship is thicker than water.
"Practicing cultivation is against the will of heaven. Birth, aging, sickness and death are normal." You Huang thought for a moment before answering, "Juniors can accept that they will slowly grow old and die, or even die accidentally. Besides, we practitioners don't just look at one life. As long as we are still in the cycle of reincarnation, we will always meet again."
"Senior Xue Hai has taught you well."
This answer surprised Xue Zun very much. He did not expect Youhuang's ideological realm to be so high.
You Huang just smiled when she heard his words: "It has nothing to do with the old Taoist nun. I have always thought so. But there is one thing I am very stubborn about: I have to decide my own life. It cannot be arranged by others, not even by the laws of nature."
"for example?"
Xue Zun asked curiously, the angle of his mouth becoming shallower.
You Huang thought for a moment and said, "For example, what to do and what not to do is up to me to decide."
Staring at her stubborn little face, Xue Zun hesitated and said slowly: "If one day our world is about to be occupied by foreign demons and you need to be sacrificed to save it, are you willing to give yourself?"
"Without the skin, where will the hair stay?"
You Huang thought about it seriously and said, "If our world no longer exists, what's the point of me surviving? But there is a premise..."
