Chapter 839  Change of Heart

In the dead of night, Xiao Mian rubbed the Sun and Moon Sword in his hand and took out Hunyuanzi's letter.

According to the records in this handbook, Xiao Mian began to refine the Sun and Moon Sword.

When I was bored, I read through Hun Yuanzi's letters again.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mian discovered a new chapter inadvertently - to be precise, what Xiao Mian discovered were some words that Hun Yuanzi had erased.

If Xiao Mian's spirit-peeping eyes hadn't become increasingly refined and could almost trace the origin, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to discover this alteration, just like Xiao Mian had never discovered it before.

After understanding the content, Xiao Mian was dumbfounded.

The content that Hunyuanzi had corrected was very brief, but if spread, it would be enough to shock the world.

But it turns out that Hunyuanzi was hunted down by the Zhongzhou cultivators.

From Zhongzhou to Xishu State, it finally belongs to Nanyue State.

While escaping all the way, Hunyuanzi couldn't help but have a suspicion: that was the theory of stealing spirits!

Thousands of years ago, the spiritual energy of the five states in the world was uniform, and there was no distinction between which one was better and which one was worse.

Thousands of years later, Zhongzhou stands out, followed closely by Soochow State. Western Shu State and Northern Wei State are unable to protect themselves, but Nanyue State has fallen to the point of letting human beings eat their flesh.

Because of this, Hunyuanzi suspected that Zhongzhou had practiced the spirit-stealing technique!

As for what the so-called spirit-stealing technique is, Hun Yuanzi did not elaborate, and Xiao Mian didn't know it either, but Xiao Mian vaguely guessed...

If this is true, doesn't it mean that the prosperity of Zhongzhou is based on the weakness of South Vietnam?

What's even more disgusting is that Zhongzhou relies on the spiritual energy stolen from Nanyue State to be superior to others. When he was released, he looked down on Nanyue State.

snort!

It's hard to say that Mr. Xiao really wants to find out everything about this matter!

With his mind tense, Xiao Mian buried the matter deep in his heart.

At dawn the next day, Xiao Mian walked into Xie's house under the morning light.

They still found Xie Ying, but Xiao Mian didn't say anything, but looked at him up and down, only looking at Xie Ying, who was still a little confused, with horror.

"You...you...what do you want to do!?"

"Huh! In the previous episode, I had a proposal with you. As long as I persuade your old man to agree to your marriage to Sister Chi Lian, I can give you anything in this small courtyard. You can take whatever you take with you!”

"Yes! That's what happened! But you...could it be possible that you really found a new grandma for me, Fatty?"

"roll!"

With a smile and a curse, Xiao Mian took out a contract jade slip and threw it to Xie Ying.

Xie Ying's expression changed. Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Xiao Mian was selling in the gourd, seeing how determined Xiao Mian was, he signed the contract willingly.

As long as Xiao Mian can really achieve good things for him and Chi Lianxia, ​​he really won't pay attention to some external things - of course, the premise is that Xie Ying himself knows very well that there is nothing in his small courtyard that can be called Baby stuff!

Xiao Mian didn't care about this, got the contract jade slip, turned around and left.

Walk with your head held high and walk straight into Baoshu Hall.

Fortunately, Xie Ying was there to guide him, otherwise he would have to attract the monks from the Xie family.

Seeing the ancestor of the Xie family, Xiao Mian bowed and saluted.

"You kid? I heard that you were responsible for the commotion on the Miluo River last night? Huh! I'm warning you: Don't cause trouble near the Miluo River!"

"Yes! I dare to ask senior: Years ago, junior saw a water-colored escaping light from a distance at the foot of Yuqi Mountain on the bank of Miluo River, but senior?"

"What? You still want to find out my whereabouts?"

"Don't dare! I just want to confirm something!"

"..., it was indeed me you saw that time!"

Xie Long's answer solved a doubt in Xiao Mian's mind.

Without saying anything else, Xiao Mian took out the phantom spirit bead and presented it to Xie Long.

With Xie Long's eyes, he could immediately see the preciousness of the Phantom Pearl. Even with his status as a high-level Nascent Soul cultivator, it was rare.

However, after Xiao Mian took out the phantom spirit bead, he respectfully left.

Before leaving, he also dragged Xie Yingsheng beside him out of Baoshu Hall.

This kid! what the hell?

Xie Long just muttered like this, and a white haze rose up from the Phantom Pearl...

Outside Baoshu Hall, Xiao Mian looked enigmatic.

Xie Ying endured it again and again. After all, he was in the middle of the situation and couldn't help but ask questions.

"Brother! Are you here to present a treasure today? From my perspective as a fat man, the phantom spirit bead you took out is useless! But I'm afraid..."

"What are you thinking about? Did I say that I would use the Magic Spirit Pearl to bribe the old man? Even if I really want to take this nasty move, you will have to pay the bribe!"

"Then what are you..."

"Don't be impatient! Just wait and see what happens!" The wind was light and the clouds were calm. Xiao Mian looked at the Zhilan Jade tree in front of the Baoshu Hall and asked casually: "Brother! You Xie family is afraid that you won't be able to plant this precious tree. It’s been thousands of years, right? It’s really precious!”

"This Zhilan Jade Tree? It hasn't been that long! It's said that my grandma transplanted it from somewhere else. It only lasted a few hundred years when it was planted here!"

"Your grandma's..."

"You are the grandma!"

The two of them stared at each other and burst out laughing in unison.

"My grandmother transplanted it? Do you know where this precious tree originated from, what species it is? What grade it is? What effect does it have? What is its function?"

"Humph! I advise you, kid, not to take any chances with this precious tree! Ever since grandma died, the old man has treated this precious tree as if it were his life. There are specific marks on each jade leaf, so no one can think of it. Stealing a branch and a half from under his nose!"

"So cruel!?"

"You are really planning to take the treasure tree!"

"No way! I will let the old man pick it for me personally!"

"..., you are really abnormal today!"

The two chatted like this, and before they knew it, it was already noon.

But at this moment, the closed door of the treasure tree hall opened silently.

Xie Long walked out with a blank expression.

After returning the magic bead to Xiao Mian, Xie Long said nothing, but just walked to the Zhilan Yushu tree and stroked the mottled trunk with his hand.

"Yulan! Since you agree to this marriage, I will naturally agree to it!"

Xie Long muttered to himself in an inaudible voice.

Then, Xie Long waved his hand, and a water blade rose from the sky, cutting through a branch of the Zhilan Yushu tree and cutting off a branch - on that branch, there were not only nine jade leaves, but also a round and transparent red fruit.

Without even looking at it, Xie Long flew it to Xiao Mian.

Along with it came a contract jade slip with a gold-rimmed edge.

"Boy! Today's matter will still trouble you! After the matter is done, my Xie family will reward you handsomely! As for other things, you don't have to worry!"

"Thank you for your understanding, ancestor!"

The other things Xie Long mentioned were about Bai Yulan!

Obviously, Bai Yulan knew that she could not escape the fate of being a sword spirit, but she persuaded Xie Long not to delve into the matter.

This is also the reason why Xiao Mian forced Bai Yulan to enter the Yin Sword first and become a sword spirit in the Golden Cave last night.

If not, with Xie Long's ability as a high-level Yuanying cultivator, he might have snatched Bai Yulan's spirit body and helped her restart her cultivation path!

For Xiao Mian, it would naturally be a loss.

Holding the branch, Xiao Mian winked at Xie Ying, who was already stunned, and rushed to Chi Lian's house without saying anything.

But in a corridor outside the lobby, Xiao Mian met Xie Lingfeng.

The two were a little surprised when they met, and after nodding, Xiao Mian wanted to continue on his way to report the good news to Chi Lian's house.

Unexpectedly, when the two passed by, the Huanlingzhu in Xiao Mian's arms suddenly jumped.

"Save her! Save her..."

Bai Yulan's voice was very faint, but very clear.

Xiao Mian was stunned, and turned his head suddenly, but Xie Lingfeng's figure had disappeared.

"Senior! Senior Bai! Are you talking about Miss Lingfeng?"

"Save her! Save her!"

"Senior!?"

"No need to yell!" It was the ghost head who suddenly spoke: "Its spirit body has been integrated into the Yin Sword. The Phantom Spirit Pearl is just stained with a trace of its spirituality, pure and weak spirituality, without too much intelligence, only instinct!"

"Instinct? The old ghost said: Bai Yulan asked me to save Xie Lingfeng out of instinct?"

"That should be it!"

"Then Xie Lingfeng..., is there anything wrong? Even the Xie family's ancestor, a high-level Yuanying cultivator, didn't find the problem. What can I do?"

"There's no rush for this! You should go to Chi Lian's house first to report the good news and make Chi Lian's ancestor happy. Otherwise, your magnetic flying boots may - bang!"

"..., the old ghost is right!"

At that moment, Xiao Mian tightened his mind and went straight to Chi Lian's house.

The reason why he came to Xie's house so eagerly was, on the one hand, because the spirituality of Bai Yulan could not be sealed for too long, and on the other hand, as Guitou said, he wanted to give Chi Lian Patriarch a surprise as soon as possible, so that she could feel good.

Once she felt good, maybe his magnetic flying boots would become...

After waiting for a long time for Xiao Mian to run to Chi Lian's house, he was surprised to see that the whole Chi Lian's house was quite lifeless.

No way!

Looking at this posture, Chi Lian Patriarch's mood must not be too good!

Anxiously, Xiao Mian rushed straight to the Copper Furnace Pavilion.

Fortunately, Chi Lian Patriarch had given instructions in advance, and the cultivators of Chi Lian's family did not embarrass Xiao Mian.

When Xiao Mian arrived outside the Copper Furnace Pavilion and was about to knock on the door, he suddenly heard a "bang" from the Copper Furnace Pavilion...

I'm going to die!

Can't be so mean! ?

Xiao Mian didn't even knock on the door, and he pushed the door directly in.

Sure enough, a cloud of black smoke was rising.

The Red Snake Patriarch was surrounded by black mist, and it was obvious that the furnace exploded again...

"Damn it! Jin Jueyuan! You birdman! How dare you marry a woman twice? You'd better not let me see the things of your Jin family disciples in the Copper Furnace Pavilion in the future!"

"Senior...Senior! The world is so beautiful..."

"What a beautiful ass!" Staring at Xiao Mian fiercely, the Red Snake Patriarch pointed at Xiao Mian's nose and cursed: "It's all you! It's all you! You keep saying that Yun'er and Jin Weili are a match made in heaven, and that the Jin family is interested in marrying my Red Snake family. Now, aren't they hugging the thighs of the old man with white hair, shaking their tails and begging for mercy?"

"This... It was originally agreed upon! Who made you insist on having double happiness..."

"Oh! It's still my fault? Believe it or not, I'll slam you!"

"Ancestor, calm down! Ancestor, calm down! Today, I came here for this matter!"

While speaking, Xiao Mian hurriedly handed over the branch and the jade slip respectfully.

The irritable Chi Lian Patriarch was stunned when he saw the branch.

"A beautiful lady? Did the Xie family agree?"

"That's right! I've even brought the engagement letter and contract! Senior, you don't know! In order to convince the Xie family Patriarch, I..."

"This is impossible! Unless Magnolia Bai is reborn!"

"......, are you listening to me?"

"What did you say?"

"Senior! Sister Chi Lian's matter is a done deal!"

"Wait a minute! I, the old woman, still say the same thing - double happiness!"

"......, why don't you give me the betrothal gifts and engagement letter!"

"Ah? So anxious?"

"I'm not in a hurry! I'm just afraid that the Jin family will be anxious and marry Jin Weili to the Shen family and make her the granddaughter-in-law of the old man with white hair!"

"Hmph! How dare that birdman Jin Jueyuan!?"

Having said that, the old ancestor Chi Lian still quickly took out a jade slip and began to sign the engagement letter contract.

After the contract was completed, the old ancestor Chi Lian seemed to be thinking about something, and finally seemed to have made up her mind.

Then, under Xiao Mian's stunned eyes, the old ancestor Chi Lian rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in her sloppy copper furnace pavilion, looking for something.

Judging from this posture, the Red Snake Patriarch clearly wants to pick out a ready-made item from the Copper Furnace Pavilion as a betrothal gift to the Jin family...

This...isn't this too unreliable...
