That's What Villains Are Like

Chapter 236: Be sincere to everyone, affectionate and dedicated, the Beihai Stone Spirit Clan

There was fine snow outside the palace, and the sky and earth were pure. As Jiang Ruxian opened the door of the palace and disappeared, a bit of cold wind blew, which made the somewhat dazed Emperor Xia suddenly come back to his senses.

Her beautiful and luxurious face suddenly showed shame, anger and coldness, and she said in a hateful voice, "Jiang Rushian, don't you think that I don't know your thoughts?"

After saying this, she clapped her delicate jade hand, and the soft couch behind her instantly scattered with a roar, turning into countless powders and dispersing in mid-air.

"It's too much to bully someone."

"Who do you think I am? Do you think I will be like other women and surround that guy?" Xia Huang was still angry in his heart and felt that he had been greatly humiliated.

"His Majesty……"

"Do you want those clothes you ordered before?"

Chunlan, who came into the palace after hearing the commotion, saw the angry Emperor Xia and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"No……"

"Keep it for now." Emperor Xia originally wanted her to throw it away, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought of something.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking of Jiang Lan's attitude towards Jiang Rushian. Although she couldn't do anything against Jiang Rushian with her current cultivation strength, she could use other methods to retaliate against her in disgust.

"Haha, do you really think I'm a fool?"

"I don't want to see the chicks around that guy, but I don't want to say it out and make him unhappy, so you want to instigate me to deal with them? Am I that narrow-minded and petty?"

Emperor Xia had a sneer on his face and ordered, "Chunlan, prepare bath water for me."

Jiang Lan didn't know about the little episode between Emperor Xia and Jiang Rushian. It was very warm in the house. Through the window lattice, he could see the fine snow falling outside. It was really beautiful. He picked up the few shining messages. Jade Talisman, scanned the contents one by one, and then returned.

During his "coma" period, several people were unable to come to visit him due to their status. However, they asked about his current situation through the Jade Talisman, including the few followers who followed him at the time.

"There is indeed something going on with the Legalists..."

"The demons are also ready to take action."

Jiang Lan looked at the messages from Ye Shiyan and Fa Miaoyin. Both of them are now practicing in the Fajia family. The senior leaders within the Fajia family received the so-called "prediction" through an ancestor worship ceremony some time ago and are planning something. .

There is also news coming from Song Youwei's side, but it has nothing to do with the Blood Immortal Cult, but is related to the forces in the outside world.

Many foreign forces have quietly descended on the land of Kyushu, and they seem to be planning something.

"Next, it's time to deal with those clowns."

Jiang Lan stretched his body and moved a little.

He "played dead" for three days, thinking he could escape this Shura field, but he underestimated the patience of Li Mengning, Ling Zhuyun and others.

Fortunately, the girls were all well-informed people and did not quarrel in public, but he could still clearly see the meaning of Ling Zhuyun's look before leaving.

Jiang Lan admitted that he was not a good person, but he was sincere, affectionate and dedicated to the women around him.

"Shengzi Jiang Lan, do you feel your body is okay now?"

Suddenly, a gentle voice with a slight chuckle sounded in the house.

Before Jiang Lan turned around, she felt the bed sink slightly, and a pleasant fragrance came from it.

"What? Are you going to do something to me, a pregnant person?"

Jiang Lan smiled and hugged her casually. Her waist was slender and soft, and she could clearly feel the delicacy and warmth of her skin through her long plain gauze skirt.

"Sage Jiang Lan already said that he was ill, so why did he still touch me..."

Xiao Yingyue had bright eyes and a gentle smile, and gently patted the back of his hand.

"You knew I was sick and you still sneaked here. What's your purpose?"

"Are you trying to bully me?" Jiang Lan turned around and looked at Xiao Yingyue's soft and beautiful face with a smile.

"I want to, but I can't bully you now." Xiao Yingyue also had a smile on her lips.

After all, she was a world-famous doctor, so how could she not be aware of Jiang Lan's true condition? Although the last stage of the Earthly Tribulation had backlash for him, it would not cause him to be in a coma for three days and three nights.

"Every time you come here secretly, you make me feel guilty for you..." Jiang Lan sighed softly and held her in his arms.

"I just know how to talk nice and coax people."

"I'm relieved to see that you're fine. You really don't know how worried I was when I learned that you took such a risk and went through the tribulation in public." Xiao Yingyue gave him an angry look.

"Are you really that worried about me?"

Jiang Lan seemed moved, looked at her with a smile, and then said, "Let me hear if it's true..."

"oops……"

"Just listen, why are you taking off my skirt..."

Jiang Lan didn't know if it was because of breaking through the Eighth Realm, or if it was the first battle after waking up after three days and three nights of "coma".

The fighting power was far greater than before. Xiao Yingyue's fighting power was very good, but facing him, she could only be killed and her armor was discarded. She quietly slipped away holding the corner of the wall in the middle of the night.

The next morning, everything outside the window was pure and clear, the whole world was covered in silver, and the palace walls and high courtyards were also covered with snow. Daxia ushered in the first heavy snowfall of the year.

Jiang Lan also wore a thick white fox fur vest on top of her plain moon-white shirt. She looked much clearer than yesterday.

He stood by the window, holding half a piece of tissue paper in his hand and crumpling it into a ball slowly. When Emperor Xia came in with his maid, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at it carefully. Jiang Lan, with his back to a few people at this time, raised his head slightly and looked out the window at the dead trees covered with snow, which seemed to be like a white moon and a gentle breeze.

"Looking much better than yesterday..."

"Is this the smell of Chinese medicine? Why is it so weird?"

Emperor Xia came back to his senses and sniffed slightly, feeling that there was a faint and indescribable smell in the air.

Like the smell of some kind of flower?

Jiang Lan took back the tissue paper, looked back at her, slightly surprised, and said, "Why are you wearing this dress all of a sudden?"

Emperor Xia, who was standing quietly in front of him at this time, was unusually not wearing his usual plain clothes or dragon robes.

Instead, she wears a slightly simple plain white long brocade skirt. A beautiful plum blossom is embroidered on the material with light golden silk thread. The skirt extends down to the waist, and a snow-colored wide belt is used to outline and tighten the waist. The body is tall and slender, with a little peach blossom between the eyebrows. Coupled with the high bun and a few strands of green silk hanging down from the temples, the jade face is flawless and no powder is applied. It is both cool and dignified. Luxurious, like a refined and cold goddess descending to the earthly world, turning into a woman's makeup in the mirror.

"how?"

"Doesn't it look good?"

Emperor Xia raised his snow-white chin slightly, but his tone seemed a bit frivolous and casual.

She clearly noticed Jiang Lan's stunned look and the surprise in his eyes.

This made her feel very happy, and it was not in vain that she asked Chunlan to choose and arrange her makeup for her early in the morning, which took half an hour.

"Of course she looks good." This was the first time Jiang Lan saw Emperor Xia dressed up like this. If he said he wasn't stunned and surprised, that would be a lie.

"That's it?" Emperor Xia raised his eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied.

"It looks good. I love it. This is the first time I have seen His Majesty dressed up like this. I am really flattered." Jiang Lan smiled.

"Then be grateful, I will change it back soon." Emperor Xia was very pleased with these words.

Jiang Lan guessed that she was stimulated by Jiang Rushian, but this was quite good for him. Emperor Xia, who usually wore a dragon robe, saw her and rarely saw her dressed like this.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to change back in a hurry. In fact, I have a more suitable dress that I want your Majesty to try on."

Jiang Lan suddenly thought of something. Before Xiao Yingyue left, he left some clothes from his Sumeru ring as a souvenir.

"What do you think I am?"

"Is it possible that you still want me to wear it specially for you? However, if you beg me, I might consider it." Emperor Xia suddenly looked at Jiang Lan with a playful expression.

"Chunlan, please step aside first. I have something I want to talk to His Majesty alone."

Jiang Lan looked calm, glanced at Chunlan who was standing at the door, and signaled her with his eyes.

Chunlan understood and immediately closed the door quietly behind her.

Only then did Emperor Xia realize that Jiang Lan had now broken through the eighth level, and his strength had undergone earth-shaking changes, which was by no means comparable to before.

"Jiang Lan, I'm warning you..." The playful look on her face disappeared, and she suddenly became a little panicked, remembering Jiang Lan's crime of deceiving the emperor last time.

"Your Majesty's warning now is of no use to me."

Jiang Lan had never been used to Emperor Xia's wishes. Just after breaking through the Eighth Realm, he also wanted to try his current strength.

The confrontation ended in a short time, and the result was naturally without any surprises. Emperor Xia was defeated, and was then "forced" to put on the thin, cloud-like outfit in front of Jiang Lan, which made her very uncomfortable. Black stockings made of crocodile silk.

"This doesn't look good at all..."

Emperor Xia crossed his arms and sat on the bed. Listening to Jiang Lan's words, he crossed his legs and knitted his eyebrows together in protest to express his dissatisfaction.

However, Jiang Lan seemed to like her appearance very much, and seemed to be unable to put it down.

"Your Majesty doesn't understand."

Jiang Lan admired sincerely, no one could refuse the looming snow-white skin contrasting with the black stockings.

He is a vulgar person who likes beauty and power, so naturally he is not immune.

Good time is always fleeting.

Before Jiang Lan could enjoy enough of the days of asking Emperor Xia to "cross-dress" in different ways every day, she went into seclusion on the grounds that she couldn't bear it. During this period, the situation in the entire Zhongtian Prefecture was quickly settled.

None of the Taoist Immortal Sects that appeared to block the way that day could escape the liquidation. A total of dozens of Immortal Sects were disbanded.

Even Biyou Dongtian, who was not involved, could not stand the power of the Taiyi Sect now, and lived in fear every day, so it had no choice but to disband.

On the other side of Dongyuan Prefecture, the situation was extremely turbulent and chaotic. As the Eastern Expedition army gathered and killed them in a mighty manner, the Zhenwu Kingdom rose up to resist, but it was of no use.

In less than half a day, the entire royal family was wiped out. All the clans of the Zhenwu Kingdom immediately launched a sneak attack, and the reason was that they surrendered.

Taoist forces such as the Chongming Demon Sect, Wangyue Ancient Sect, and Yinxu Holy Land joined together to form an alliance to resist the Eastern Expedition.

However, without the Demon Saint in charge, Dongyuan Province has lost its backbone. The overall situation has been decided. No matter how you resist, it will be a stubborn resistance. Facing the torrent of monks and ancient warships, many people can’t even resist. .

The various immortal sects headed by Etai Yi Sect also took advantage of the situation and took root in various mineral veins, spiritual springs and ancient medicine gardens in Dongyuan Prefecture.

The overall situation was decided, and all that was left was to clear out the remaining fish and rotten shrimps.

Taiyi Sect also announced that in half a month, it will unite all the Immortal Sects in Kyushu to establish an Immortal Alliance.

Orders carrying the holy power flew out from the depths of the Taiyi Sect's clouds and mist, penetrated the sky, and rushed to all parts of the Jiuzhou. Even those ancient sects that were hidden in the world also received the invitation notice.

Such a strong attitude also shows the determination of Taiyi Sect in some aspects. Who dares to refuse?

In the land of the North Sea, in the depths where the waves surge into the sky, there are many islands dotted around. The waves are roaring all around, but it is peaceful here, as if you are in the eye of the sea, unaffected.

There are no palaces or pavilions on the island, but instead there are many tribes built of simple stones. The creatures among them are all strong, with rough lines on their bodies, thick bones, and their faces are not much different from those of humans.

However, they are not natural stone spirits, but hybrids resulting from the intermarriage between the human race and the stone spirit clan.

Real stone spirits are nurtured by heaven and earth.

In the long years, those strange stones and divine materials, washed by the essence of the sun and moon, and the aura of heaven and earth, slowly condensed life and opened up wisdom, and only then the stone spirit was born.

Every stone spirit is protected by heaven and earth. According to ancient rumors, if you kill a stone spirit, you will even be rejected by heaven and earth and be plagued by misfortune. However, the stone spirit clan has always been gentle and honest, and does not like killing.

In the deepest part of the North Sea, there is a saint-level stone spirit sitting there, which makes the Stone Spirit clan the well-deserved overlord of the North Sea.

Even those ethnic groups with the blood of ancient ferocious beasts, such as the Dragon Tribe, the Peacock Tribe, the Golden Crow Tribe, etc. do not dare to offend.

"It's not good, it's not good..."

"Young Master Shitian's younger brother Shi Ning got into a conflict with someone in the Nie Er Kingdom and had his legs broken in public. Now he is hung on the wall of the Nie Er Kingdom's capital for the ridicule of those who come and go."

"All of Shi Ning's slaves have been beaten to death. The other party is too vicious and will show no mercy at all. Go and report to Young Master Shi Tian."

At this moment, there were sounds of panic among the tribe of the Shiling clan.

Several mixed-blood Stone Spirit tribesmen ran all the way, shouting all the way, which caused many mixed-blood Stone Spirit tribe members to poke their heads out and look at the stone houses, which were very shocked and surprised.

"In the land of Beihai, who dares to provoke Young Master Shi Tian's younger brother?"

"Who is it, so bold?"

"Even foreign ethnic groups should know the existence of our Shiling clan and cannot take the initiative to provoke us."

"Although Shi Ning has a bit of a naughty personality, he shouldn't be someone who would take the initiative to offend others..."

Many people from the Stone Spirit clan who came out were confused.

Someone grabbed the tribesman who came to report the news and quickly asked about the cause of the incident.

"We don't know what happened, but the person who had the conflict with Shi Ning should be the young master of the Demon Ape Clan..."

"The Nie Er Kingdom appeared, and many ethnic groups rushed there to exchange rare treasures. Shi Ning went there with his slaves, but somehow he got into a conflict with the young master of the Demon Ape Clan, and the two sides fought." Shi Ning rushed back to Shi Ling. A member of the tribe explained.

"Who hurt my brother?"

At this time, a ray of light flashed, a strange fog spread, and on a square blue stone as big as half a man, a young man in a light blue robe appeared silently.

He has a tall figure, a fair face, and his eyes are as clear and bright as lake water, but they are very deep if you look closely, with strands of strange and gorgeous luster escaping at any time, giving people a sense of mystery and unpredictability.

The young man in blue robe waved his hand, and a gust of breeze intercepted several tribesmen who came to report. He asked aloud. Although his face remained calm, there was anger hidden deep in his eyes.

"I've met Young Master Shi Tian."

When all the Shiling clan members saw the young man in blue robes, they all saluted and respected him very much.

"Without all these red tapes, who hurt my brother?" The young man in blue robe waved his hand and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the young master, he is the young master of the Demonic Ape Clan."

"The young master of the Demon Ape Clan? Aren't the Demon Ape Clan on the shores of the North Sea? How could they appear here?" The blue-robed young man was also Shi Tian. He frowned slightly and asked aloud.

"Back to you, young master, we don't know. It may be related to the emergence of Nie Er Kingdom. Many ethnic groups from the North Sea have come here."

"Nie Erguo?"

Shi Tian frowned even more tightly, with a chill in his eyes, and said, "Although Shi Ning has a bit of a naughty temperament, I have taught him since childhood that he cannot take the initiative to cause trouble. I have always known that the Demon Ape clan is lawless and irritable. He is so warlike, I didn’t expect that even my Stone Spirit clan would not take him seriously.”

"Today I am going to teach this demonic ape clan a lesson and let them know what kind of rules they should abide by in this land of the North Sea."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves without waiting for the reaction of the tribesmen here, and the clouds and mist steamed under his feet, carrying him into a stream of light, flying high into the sky with a chirp, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Young Master Shi Tian's cultivation has become more advanced..."

"As expected of the grandson of Master Shi Sheng, this talent is truly loved by God and no one can match it."

"Young Master Shi Tian was, after all, one of the Three Heaven-Mending Stones. In terms of background and footwork, no one can compare to him."

Many members of the Shi Ling clan looked at Shi Tian who was disappearing in the distance, with expressions of reverence and admiration.

"Lord Stone Saint..."

"This time Taiyi Sect establishes the Immortal Alliance, it will definitely have a profound impact on the subsequent situation in Kyushu. Once the Demon Saint dies, Dongyuan Prefecture has been firmly controlled by Taiyi Sect."

"In the upcoming great changes in the world, Taiyi Sect will probably gain more benefits. When its ambitions expand, it may be possible to attack our land in the North Sea, so we have to be on guard against this."

At this time, deep in the Shiling tribe, there was a simple and plain stone house.

An old man in gray robe with a dark, wrinkled face and kind eyes was gently wiping the many stone tools in the room with a handkerchief, very seriously and meticulously.

Beside the old man, a burly and sturdy Shiling tribesman was saying something worriedly. On the stone table not far in front of the two of them, a golden order was quietly laid out. There is a faint ray of holy power permeating the air.

It's just that in this stone house, the ray of holy power cannot spread out, and it quietly converges there.

"Then Li Ran visited me before, and I also know his ambitions, but now the Taiyi Sect has become a general trend. Even if I stand up to stop it, it will not help. It is better to let nature take its course and see what happens next."

"God has the virtue of good life. It is not easy for the demon saint to reach this point. I wanted to save his life at the critical moment, but I didn't know that he would destroy his body, which happened to fall into Li Ran's plan."

"It can only be said that time is destiny. The more you think about things like fate, the more elusive they become." The old man wiped the stone cup and sighed.

"Sir, are you going to go on the day when Taiyi Sect establishes the Immortal Alliance?" asked the Shiling tribesman on the side.

"It's natural to congratulate the Immortal Alliance for its establishment, and the invitations have been sent, so how can we not go?" The old man smiled lightly.

After saying that, he turned his eyes and looked outside the house, seeming to see a scene somewhere in the distance.

"Although Shi Ning, like Tian'er, was transformed from the Sky-Building Stone, Shi Ning was born with deficiencies, and Tian'er inadvertently took away all the essences of his essence. As a result, after he transformed into a human form and became wise, he lost all his abilities, both in terms of cultivation talent and intelligence. His thinking is far inferior to Tian'er."

"This also makes his character so irritable and narrow-minded. Sooner or later, if he continues like this, he will cause trouble." The old man sighed.

"Young Master Shi Tian has been calm and resolute since he was a child, and he values ​​love and justice. Although this incident was not what he wanted, it has always made him feel guilty for his younger brother Shi Ning. In fact, many times when Shi Ning caused trouble, it was Shi Ning who caused trouble. Young Master Tian will solve it for him behind the scenes." The tribesmen on the side also sighed, and when they mentioned Shi Tian, ​​their faces were full of admiration.

"I have done some deductions recently, and the whereabouts of another sky-mending stone should also appear."

"Of the three sacred stones left to patch the sky, two of them were obtained by me and gave birth to Tian'er and Shi Ning. The other one is missing. No matter when I deduce it, it seems to be covered by a thick fog. It is shrouded in fog, but as the environment of the world changes, the fog is dissipating and the scene becomes clear."

"I always feel that there is a deep connection between the last sacred stone and Tian'er. Maybe we should let him be born and find his cause and effect." The old man thought.
