Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 623 Blood Pool

The next day.

Gu Xu came to Shi Xiaohan's bedside and looked at the sleeping girl quietly.

Shi Xiaohan's sleeping posture was as restless as ever.

She lay on the bed sideways, hugging the pillow tightly with her arms. The quilt had already been pushed away by her and sandwiched between her legs.

The sunlight filtered through the window and shone dappledly on her body, illuminating large areas of her skin as delicate as snow.

Gu Xu bent down and kissed her gently on her smooth and flawless forehead.

Then, he took out the pillow from her arms and put it behind her head. He took out the quilt between her legs and covered her carefully.

But Shi Xiaohan was still immersed in his sleep and did not wake up.

Moreover, she always seems to want to sleep with something in her arms.

The moment Gu Xu took away the pillow, she hugged Gu Xu's arm tightly in a daze. After a while, she slowly and reluctantly let go.

Gu Xu sat down beside her bed and let a ray of consciousness penetrate into her body along the meridians and acupoints.

Then he saw that every cell of her bones, internal organs, flesh and blood was being destroyed and reshaped at a speed beyond ordinary people's understanding. The massive amount of food she consumes provides necessary nutrients for this process.

"After a while, ordinary human food may not be able to meet her needs." Gu Xu thought silently.

In Emperor Ziwei's memory, the demon immortals who had awakened their bloodline often fed on rare elixirs and spiritual herbs in their later stages of growth, and some even swallowed demon beasts alive.

The demons in the Lingxiao Realm are different from the demons and ghosts in the Wilderness.

The monsters and monsters in the wilderness often have no father or mother. They are born from the evil spirit and are transformed from the resentment of the dead souls.

The demon clan in the Lingxiao Realm is a race similar to the human race. It has its own family, lineage, and inheritance, and can also practice like humans.

Before the "Tiangong" unified the Lingxiao world, monsters and monsters, monsters and humans, the weak and the strong - in a literal sense, had always been the norm.

A race with a long lifespan and powerful individuals like the Fairy Tribe has always been firmly at the top of the food chain. Sometimes even dragons and demons would choose to avoid their sharp edges and take a detour when encountering them.

Later, the "Tiangong" wiped out the demon fairy clan, which in a sense liberated many ethnic groups from the fate of persecution.

Logically speaking, the number of demon immortals is already very small, and the individuals among them who can awaken their bloodline and grow up are even rarer.

Therefore, it is unbelievable that someone like Shi Xiaohan, who has extremely thin blood and is in an environment such as the wilderness that is not suitable for the survival of the demon fairy clan, can grow to the current situation.

"Perhaps it's because she recently came into contact with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which stimulated her fairy bloodline!" Gu Xu secretly guessed, but he wasn't too sure.

Although Shi Xiaohan was not a member of the Zifu Army, she lived in Zichen Palace and often went in and out of the imperial city. Especially not long ago, when the spiritual energy conversion array was still arranged in Jiangyun Palace, every time she came to see Gu Xu, she would inevitably come into contact with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surging in the array.

In addition, after Gu Xu set up this formation, the laws of the surrounding area also changed under the influence of the "subversion" method, becoming closer to the Lingxiao world.

He looked at the girl, sighed softly, then walked to the door and told the eunuch Han Shunxi: "Go and get the pile of memorials on my desk. I will review them slowly here."

It wasn't until noon that Shi Xiaohan woke up drowsily.

"So hungry..." She muttered drowsily.

She wrapped herself in the quilt and twisted a few times like a caterpillar before slowly getting up from the bed and rubbing her hazy eyes.

Only then did she clearly see Gu Xu, dressed in a green shirt, sitting at the desk, holding a brush in his hand, turning around and looking at her with a smile.

"Gu Xu!"

Shi Xiaohan suddenly woke up completely.

She jumped off the bed, her hair was extremely disheveled, she was only wearing a bellyband and underpants, and she had only one shoe on her feet, and she ran towards Gu Xu quickly. Like a little animal waking up in the bright spring light after hibernation, she threw herself into Gu Xu's arms.

She clutched Gu Xu's robe tightly and pressed her forehead lightly against his chest.

Gu Xu reached out and gently touched her head, making her fluffy and soft hair even more messy.

He chuckled lightly and said: "Xiaohan, didn't you shout that you were hungry? Why don't you want to move now that you are in my arms?"

"I had a dream last night," Shi Xiaohan whispered after a short silence. "I dreamed that I swallowed a dragon, a whale, and an elephant, and then fell asleep. I waited until I woke up. Later, I discovered that nearly a thousand years had passed and my Kunwu knife was too rusty to be used.

"I also saw that our Daxia has perished and been replaced by a new dynasty called Dayong. I looked for people everywhere to find out where you were, but they led them to your cemetery and said that you had been there for hundreds of years. The former died...

"Gu Xu, at that time, I was really scared. Fortunately, this was just a dream..."

Hearing her words, Gu Xu hugged her tighter and patted her back gently, trying to calm her emotions.

In fact, Gu Xu was filled with worries, thinking about how strong he would have to become in the future in order to counterattack the Lingxiao Realm and seize the "blood pool" of the demon fairy clan from the hands of Supreme Haotian, so that the girl could be able to fight back in the future. Grow up smoothly and avoid a long slumber.

However, in front of the girl, he still maintained a relaxed and cheerful look and tone.

"Xiaohan, do you remember? When I was in Yishui County, I once told you a story about Sleeping Beauty."

Thinking back to a year ago, when Gu Xu was still working as a clerk in the Yishui Exorcism Division, he often went on ghost-killing missions with Shi Xiaohan to earn merit.

During the journey, in order to adjust the atmosphere and make Shi Xiaohan happy, Gu Xu told some stories from the earth, including martial arts novels, myths and legends, and classic fairy tales.

"Of course I remember," Shi Xiaohan said, "it's the story about the princess who pricked her finger on a spindle and fell into a deep sleep. Only the prince's true love's kiss could wake her up."

"That's right, stupid princess," Gu Xu leaned down and kissed her lips, "Believe me, as long as I'm here, your nightmare will never come true."

Shi Xiaohan suddenly felt his body become weak, and couldn't help but cuddle up in his arms.

During the long kiss, her exposed white and tender skin gradually became flushed, and the color was like the sunset at dusk, making it look particularly alluring.

"Idiot princess," Gu Xu whispered in her ear again, "you look so beautiful now, it makes me feel hungry too."

As he spoke, he turned slightly.

As a result, Shi Xiaohan happened to be able to catch a glimpse of the two of them in the full-length mirror not far away.

She saw that Gu Xu's clothes were neatly dressed, his hair was meticulously combed, and it was elegantly tied up with a small white jade crown.

But she herself was only wearing a bellyband and underwear, her face was red and her ears were red, and her expression was confused...

It’s so embarrassing!

Gu Xu, this bastard, I don’t know who he learned it from recently, and the more he learns, the worse he gets! He keeps trying different ways to bully her every day!

And this bastard's hands are actually untying them quietly...

"Bastard!"

"Bastard!!"

"Gu Xu, you are such a bad guy!!!"

………………

Lingxiao Realm, Tiangong Floating Island.

Taishang Haotian practiced in seclusion in a quiet room as always.

The power of incense from the earth rose up, like wisps of smoke, into his body, and then transformed into dazzling golden light, making his whole body seem to be transformed into a dazzling sun, which made people dare not look directly. .

Suddenly, a stone statue of a flying bird beside the door of the quiet room spoke: "I am reporting to the Emperor, Leader Huang of the Houtu Sect wants to borrow the blood pool of the Demon Immortal to refine a batch of flesh and blood puppets in order to attack other worlds. I sincerely request the Emperor's approval. ”

"Let him wait first," Taishang Haotian said in an indifferent tone, "The Night Emperor is undergoing her eighth molt in the blood pool, and it will take another five years to come out."
