Seeking Immortality

So, under Xu Qingfan's gaze, the little beast staggered towards its destination.

The little beast was originally just standing in the distance, curiously watching its mother catch food for it, and never thought of the possibility that its mother would be defeated. Because in its eyes, its mother is invincible. The development of things at the beginning was indeed as it guessed, its mother had always had the upper hand, chasing the "prey" everywhere.

But then, the development of things took a sharp turn for the worse, and the originally clear vision in front of it began to be covered with fog at some point, and its mother's roar in the fog became more and more angry and anxious. Listening to the angry and anxious roar of its mother, it gradually began to feel a little uneasy. Suddenly, it found that its mother's roar changed again, becoming shrill and painful. When the little beast heard this, it could no longer bear the uneasiness in its heart, and hurriedly ran in the direction of its mother's roar. But if the little beast wants to find its mother, it must go through the heavy fog. The animal's instinct makes it feel the danger of the fog in front of it, but in order to find its mother, the little beast can't care so much.

But the little beast obviously doesn't have the strong resistance to fog like its mother. When the fog enters its body with its breath, it feels its head becoming dizzy, its body becoming weak, and its steps becoming heavier and heavier. Finally, relying on its persistence to see its mother, it finally walked out of the fog.

But after walking out of the fog, everything it saw in front of it stunned it. The originally mighty and powerful mother was now lying on the ground powerlessly. Her eyes were dim and blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth. Seeing her arrival, her mother didn't raise her head at all. And the "prey" that the mother had originally arrested for her stood quietly in front of her mother and looked at her mother.

"Woo~~"

Seeing the mother lying on the ground powerlessly, the little beast called out softly to tell her that it was coming, but the little beast was surprised to find that no matter how it called out, its mother did not respond to it, and did not extend her warm and wet tongue to lick its body as usual.

Seeing that the mother still ignored it.

The little beast was anxious, regardless of its own weakness and dizziness, it rolled and crawled to its mother's side, and called out again, but found that the mother still did not respond. Then it nudged its mother's huge body with its head, but the little beast despaired to find that its mother was still lying on the ground motionless.

Just when the little beast was about to do something else, it finally couldn't stand the invasion of the fog anymore and fainted.

After the little beast fainted, its body leaned weakly on its mother, as if it couldn't bear to leave even in a coma.

Is the demon beast conscious? As the leader of all spirits, humans certainly disdain to study such questions. But Xu Qingfan clearly sensed a sense of sadness and attachment in the eyes of the little beast.

Looking at the unconscious young beast in front of him, Xu Qingfan's eyes were complicated, and he took out and put back the "Withering and Flourishing Ruler" in his hand. This was repeated many times.

Xu Qingfan undoubtedly hated the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast that destroyed his home. The little beast in front of him was obviously the child of the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast, and Xu Qingfan should kill it. Moreover, the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast had a violent temper when it grew up, and it often hurt people's lives. Xu Qingfan killed it to eliminate harm for the people. Besides, high-level monsters like the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast often have extremely high IQs. The little beast in front of him has now seen Xu Qingfan's appearance, so killing it can be regarded as eliminating future troubles.

In short. There are countless reasons to kill such a little beast, and it is very easy to kill the unconscious little beast in front of him. The scales on its body before it grows up are far less solid than those of its mother. Xu Qingfan's "Withering and Flourishing Ruler" can easily penetrate its body. But maybe it was because of the weak appearance of the little beast now, or because he just saw it struggling to find its mother. Although Xu Qingfan wanted to kill it, he couldn't do it.

Suddenly, Xu Qingfan remembered the look of the little beast before it fell into a coma. The look of despair, sadness and resentment, Xu Qingfan felt as if he had seen it somewhere.

Yes, four days ago. Wasn't Ting'er's look at him the same at the moment when Xu Lin died? It's just that Ting'er was good at hiding her true expression in a coldness.

Thinking of this. Xu Qingfan couldn't help but look in the direction of Ting'er. But he was surprised to find that Ting'er had passed through the fog and walked towards the little beast. The fog that the blue-eyed cloud-kicked beast was afraid of seemed to have no effect on Ting'er.

But Ting'er didn't look at Xu Qingfan, but walked directly to the unconscious little beast, bent down and held the little beast in her arms, and then turned her head and looked at Xu Qingfan silently.

Although Ting'er just looked at Xu Qingfan silently without saying a word, Xu Qingfan clearly understood her meaning from Ting'er's eyes.

She wanted to take care of the little beast herself and not let Xu Qingfan kill it.

Seeing Ting'er's cold but persistent expression, Xu Qingfan sighed slightly and said, "It's up to you."

Xu Qingfan knew that strange monsters like the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast could only grow by eating more spiritual herbs, otherwise it would stay in its current form for the rest of its life. If there were not enough spiritual herbs to feed the little beast, then the little beast would never pose a threat to Xu Qingfan, so in the face of Ting'er's insistence, Xu Qingfan was helpless but did not insist. Moreover, he didn't have the heart to kill the little beast, after all, it was its mother who destroyed Xujiazhai, and the little beast itself was innocent.

After seeing Xu Qingfan's agreement, Ting'er didn't say much, but just walked back to her original position with the little beast in her arms.

Looking at Ting'er's thin back, Xu Qingfan sighed slightly, but he didn't know when he could change Ting'er's personality.

Ten days later.

Xu Qingfan was silently worshipping at a cemetery, but there was only one tombstone on the cemetery, with six big characters "Tomb of the Xu Family" written on it. Ting'er, holding the little beast, silently followed Xu Qingfan and did the same actions to worship. If you don't look at the cold expression on Ting'er's face and the purple-blue flame pattern, she really looks like an extremely well-behaved little girl now.

During these ten days, Xu Qingfan first spent eight days meditating to restore the lost spiritual energy in his body, and then the rest of the time was spent collecting the corpses scattered all over the ground in the old site of Xujiazhai and burying them together.

The corpses in Xujiazhai were destroyed beyond recognition by the Blue-eyed Cloud-kicking Beast. After so many years, it was even more difficult for Xu Qingfan to identify them. Moreover, these corpses were not only from the Xu family. The Lingzhi was approaching maturity in recent years, and the spiritual energy it emitted could not be concealed. There were countless people in the Southern Wilderness who wanted to kill it, but unfortunately they were all killed by the Blue-eyed Cloud-kicking Beast. The corpses of these people were all abandoned in the old site of Xujiazhai. As for the corpses of Xu Qingfan's parents and the second elder, there was no way to find them.

In desperation, Xu Qingfan could only collect all the corpses and bury them together, at least so that the souls of the Xu family members would not be homeless.

As for the corpse of the Blue-eyed Cloud-kicking Beast, Xu Qingfan also found an open space to bury it. Before burying it, he collected several parts of it that could be used to make spiritual medicines and magic tools. For example, the green scales on the blue-eyed cloud kicking beast, the fangs in its mouth, and its four white kicks were all excellent materials for refining magic tools, and the blood and eyes of the blue-eyed cloud kicking beast were essential for refining certain spiritual medicines. As for the inner elixir of the blue-eyed cloud kicking beast, it was even more rare in the world of cultivating immortals. Although Xu Qingfan couldn't use these things now, he couldn't waste them.

Besides, the little beast finally woke up from the fog after being unconscious for three days. After waking up, he couldn't find his mother everywhere. He was so anxious that he kept crying "woo woo". He gradually calmed down after Ting'er tried to comfort him. Strangely enough, the blue-eyed cloud kicking beast was the most irritable and arrogant monster on weekdays, but Ting'er only needed to stroke the little beast a few times, and the little beast's mood would slowly calm down. Later, the little beast even often rolled around in Ting'er's arms, as if it had become Ting'er's pet. Only when she was alone with the little beast, did Ting'er's expression not look so cold.

But after Xu Qingfan finished his meditation and appeared in front of the little beast, the little beast rushed towards Xu Qingfan with its claws and teeth bared, as if it wanted to avenge its mother. But this blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast, which had never grown up, was no match for Xu Qingfan. It was pulled back by Xu Qingfan's iron vine. After being beaten back, the little beast wanted to continue attacking Xu Qingfan, but was held down by Ting'er with both hands.

Since then, the little beast seemed to know that it was no match for Xu Qingfan now, and Ting'er would hold it in her arms at any time, so it never bothered Xu Qingfan again, but every time it saw Xu Qingfan, it still bared its claws and teeth and whimpered with hatred.

After three hundred and nine kowtows, Xu Qingfan looked at the cemetery in front of him again, sighed slightly, and then turned to Ting'er and said, "Let's go."

As he spoke, Xu Qingfan controlled the "Three-foot Green Silk" and turned into a blue cloud that appeared under the feet of the two people, carrying them to the north of the Middle Earth.

After Xu Qingfan and Ting'er left, the old site of Xujiazhai returned to its deserted state. Only the desolate breeze of the Southern Wasteland witnessed the former glory and decline of this place.
