As the empress who breaks off her engagement at the beginning, I choose the evil little black lotus.

Chapter 146 I, Shen Xiaoxue, would rather die in pieces

But in this timeline after Su Yan's rebirth, in the Imperial Tomb of the Fallen Heaven Realm, Liu Zhenzhen was carrying a basket of ghost bamboo shoots and listening to the chirping of cicadas as she walked down the mountain. She raised her hand in surprise and saw a piece of snow falling gracefully into her palm. .

It’s not unusual for it to snow in the Imperial Tomb, but this was in July.

In this world, how could there be a snow falling amidst the chirping of cicadas?

However, there was no hint of coolness in Xueluo's palm.

Even if it falls in the palm of your hand, it disappears instantly without melting, leaving no trace.

Following the first piece of snow, there was a flurry of rain...

Each one of them did not fall to the ground, but flew towards Liu Zhenzhen like a butterfly in love with a flower.

It's like the first piece of snow that disappears as soon as it touches the body.

But there are just too many of them.

The latecomers could only pile on top of the former, and quickly turned the house into a snow tower.

However, Liu Zhenzhen did not cover or avoid them, just letting them pile up on her body.

She already knew that what was falling now was not snow, but the years she had seen in her dream.

A piece of snow makes a year.

"Gu Nanyi" fulfilled her promise.

If there is a being who transcends time and is willing to focus his gaze, he can see that the same snow is still falling on many imperial tombs.

……

One year has passed since Su Xue was born.

This year, Su Yan and Gu Nanyi, in addition to raising children, were preparing to break through to the sub-sage realm.

The first is to collect the patterns and materials for the first life lamp.

The life lamp consists of two parts: the lamp and the life fire.

Before lighting the fire of life, it is natural to build a lamp.

Different lamps can bring different benefits to Ya Sheng.

Such as increasing the physical body, increasing magical powers, increasing elephant patterns, etc...

Depending on the grade, the effect of the gain will also vary.

However, in addition to the grade, the life lamp also needs to consider the compatibility with the five elements of oneself.

The first destiny lamp, also known as the natal lamp, is naturally the top priority.

In the late stage of the Life Lamp Realm, the remaining eight Life Lamps are broken, and the consequences of the broken Life Lamp are completely different.

For example, in Shen Xiaoxue's previous life, it was because her natal lamp was broken that she became Su Yan's idiot princess for so many years.

Fortunately, Su Yan was lucky this time. Using the two patterns of life lamps he obtained from Nan Yi, he was able to create two mid-level life lamps.

The earth-level third-grade five-yang Baohua lantern was brushed with the heaven-level fifth-grade five-wheel birth-and-death lantern. This lantern is not limited to the five elements, and Su Yan plans to use it himself.

The ninth-grade Yimu longevity lamp of the heavenly rank is painted with the evergreen lamp of the fourth-grade heavenly rank. This lamp fits Nan Yi’s wood element horoscope.

She has a wood-based destiny, equipped with the supernatural power Qingdi's left eye, celestial phenomena and thousands of tree rings, plus this heaven-level fourth-grade wood-based natal lantern. Such perfection has surpassed many early Martial Emperors, at least far beyond the previous life. Shen Xiaoxue.

Su Yan originally thought about entering the First Dragon Palace to look for the life lamp pattern, but now that he was unexpectedly happy, he could consider taking a step back and wait until the Second Saint.

Now that we have the drawings, all that's left is to collect the materials.

The materials required for the Heavenly Life Lamp are naturally extraordinary, and can only be obtained slowly through the system.

In addition to casting lamps, the second thing is to fast and meditate, taking into account the Taoist mind, so as not to be confused by the mental obstacles after lighting the life lamp.

This year, Su Yan went in and out of various trading houses and auction houses, and while using the system to brush materials, he also continued to brush some barrier-breaking pills.

Although Xue'er's arrival had solved one of the biggest knots in his heart, he knew that he still had another knot in his heart that would definitely come to him when the life light came on.

On the other side, Shen Xiaoxue was also preparing to light the lanterns.

Compared with Su Yan, Shen Xiaoxue undoubtedly needs more barrier-breaking pills.

Otherwise, if the father and daughter from her previous life appeared in her heart, she would find it difficult for her to get over them.

Shen Xiaoxue sometimes even doubts whether she will stop at the sub-sage realm in this life.

She felt that before lighting the life lamp, she should prepare at least [-] barrier-breaking pills.

The reason why it is nine hundred and ninety-nine is because this is the upper limit.

She had seen a martial arts scripture that recorded that there was once a Supreme Martial King whose father was Emperor Wu. He took thousands of barrier-breaking pills, but still failed to break through the mental barrier.

According to him, after the nine hundred and ninety-nineth, the Barrier Breaking Pill is useless.

All elixirs become less effective the more you take them, until they are useless.

Barrier-breaking pills are no exception.

However, in this world, the Supreme Martial King who is trapped in a mental barrier is extremely hard to find even one pill, let alone nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Shen Xiaoxue could only rely on system brushing.

It's just that this system, since it has the word "crematorium" in its name, can't let her get her wish so easily.

"Ding, the system prompts that Su Yan and Gu Nanyi's child needs an egg every day as she grows. Please collect thirty gold-backed silver roc eggs for her. Mission reward: Barrier Breaking Pill x99."

A golden-backed silver roc, deep in the sea, a ferocious beast with ancient bloodline. As an adult, its combat power is above the sub-sacred realm. Its strength is definitely not comparable to the king-level sea beasts that Shen Xiaoxue usually tortured.

Shen Xiaoxue: "..."

Shen Xiaoxue: "Okay, okay, as expected of you, the dog system. You took advantage of the fact that I was in urgent need of the barrier-breaking pill, so you just put it on my nose, right?"

"The little beggar took advantage of the situation and gave birth to a little bastard. I tolerated it, but you still want me to raise the bastard together!"

"I, Shen Xiaoxue, would rather die in pieces than live in humiliation."

"I don't believe it. With just one of my pills, it's hard for heaven and earth to suppress me, and my firm Taoist heart can't be shaken by eternity. Without this barrier-breaking pill, I can't break through the mental barriers!"

……

Half a month later, Shen Xiaoxue, her hair disheveled and embarrassed, fled a large island with a silver beach.

Behind him, two golden-backed silver rocs that could cover the sky with one wing roared angrily, soared into the sky, set off violent winds and roaring seas, and chased after them.

Shen Xiaoxue looked back and sighed helplessly.

If there was only one, she could still fight, but the two would have no choice but to run away.

Fortunately, there were enough eggs in the nest, nearly forty.

That's right, a few days after she swore, "I would rather die in pieces than live in humiliation," she still came to find eggs for that little bastard.

If it were her previous life, that arrogant person who believed that the universe was all about her, she might really give up on her mission and just rely on her Taoist heart to break through the mental barrier.

But in this life, she has become much more realistic.

……

On Longshen Island, on the first, seventh and fifteenth day of every day, if the weather is fine, a night market will be held on the beach.

And because this is the place where the most Wu Kings gather in the whole world, this night market is also called Wang City.

True to its name, because most of the buyers and sellers are Martial Kings above the Purple Cauldron Realm, the quality of the Dragon God Island Royal Market is very high, even surpassing the auction houses of several large dynasty imperial cities.

Su Yan and Gu Nanyi also come here often and have found several required life lamp materials here.

However, on this fifteenth night, Nalan Yan was the only one who came to visit the royal market.

Su Yan and Gu Nanyi had a half-day of leisure and went to admire the moon. Even their daughter was left in the care of that magical rabbit. I don’t know if she will get a younger brother or sister after this night.

……

"Is this really an egg with a golden back and a silver roc? Aren't you just using an ordinary silver roc egg to make up for it? How dare you sell the luck of the King of the Ten Cauldrons!"

Half an hour later, Nalan Yan squatted in front of a stall, looking critically at the big silver egg in her hand that was as big as her head.

The stall owner is an ordinary-looking woman dressed as a businessman, with only martial arts cultivation.

However, in fact, it is still Shen Xiaoxue's character card.

Shen Xiaoxue originally wanted to wait for Su Yan at this night market.

She had met Su Yan here several times before, but she didn't expect that it would be this Northern Qi enchantress who came here again.

Shen Xiaoxue was very surprised why when she used her character card to do something, she would often encounter this woman coming to disrupt the situation.

"Are you blind? Didn't you see the golden threads on these eggshells? Have you ever seen any Yinpeng eggs that look like this?" Shen Xiaoxue said coldly.

"Haha, who knows, maybe it's a mutation! After all, no one has ever seen what a real gold-backed silver roc egg looks like, right?" Nalan Yan bumped the egg and said, "Shiding Ren Wang Luck, you are really Dare you speak? I think it’s only worth a tripod at most, so what do you think, should I sell it?”

"you……"

Shen Xiaoxue suddenly felt a surge of blood in her head.

To be honest, she did quote an inflated price to prevent the eggs from being bought.

She estimated the market price of a gold-backed silver roc egg to be between seven and eight cauldrons of luck.

This witch was pressing down on Wuding. She could bear it for the sake of the mission, but she immediately slashed her ankle.

I don't know where she got the nerve to say it! Why don't you go beg for food?

Of course Shen Xiaoxue does not lack the luck, but it is difficult to swallow this breath, especially when the target is this Northern Qi witch.

"If you don't want to sell it, forget it." Seeing her cannibalistic gaze, Nalanyan immediately put down the egg and left.

The moment she turned around, the critical look on Nalan Yan's pretty face immediately turned into regret.

The moment she picked up the egg, she used the system to identify it. It was indeed the egg of the sub-sacred golden-backed silver roc.

She was also planning to buy it back for the little girl.

It's not like she, the majestic princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, couldn't afford the Ten Cauldrons of Luck.

but……

"System prompts, the villain's mission: reduce the price of these spirit beast eggs to [-]%. Mission reward: one hundred holy realm white dragon eggs."

Nalan Yan: "!"

Only those above the holy realm can be called true dragons. Below the holy realm, all kinds of dragons can only be called dragon species!

What does a real dragon egg taste like? Even she, the Ninth Princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, has never tasted it.

Unfortunately, her attempt failed.

Tsk, only a fool would sell it at a [-]% discount!

This villain system, issuing missions, is always so outrageous.

However, she had just taken a few steps when she heard a cold voice coming from behind her: "Wait..."

Nalan Yan paused, thinking that she, the stall owner, wanted to bargain, and was thinking about giving up the task and buying it, when she heard the stall owner say: "Take it."

"what?"

Facing Nalan Yan's look like she was looking at a fool, Shen Xiaoxue resisted the urge to draw the sword and gritted her teeth: "One piece of human king's luck, take it."

"Ding, the system prompts, congratulations on completing the task and collecting the ingredients needed for the child's growth. You have obtained the Barrier Breaking Pill x99."

The mission success message sounded, but Shen Xiaoxue felt so aggrieved that she wanted to vomit blood.

This time, she felt even more aggrieved than when she was forced to wear a green robe and protect Su Yan and the little beggar all the way.

Once upon a time, green was just the color she wore. Now, everyone has children. Green is already a color that has penetrated deeply into her soul.

Now, she has experienced firsthand how those men feel when they know that their wives are disapproving and the children belong to others, but they still have to help raise their children.

"Ding, the system prompts: The child now eats the meat of the King Realm five-color sacred cow every day. Please improve her food and hunt down a Sub-Saint Realm Nantian Dragon Horned Ox. Mission reward: Barrier Breaking Pill x99."

Shen Xiaoxue: "As expected!"

In this dog system, if there is one, there will be two.

Haha, beef from the sub-sage realm! Even in the previous life, Tuantuan, who had grown up in the palm of her hand with Su Yan, did not have such luxurious food.

However, it was still the same as the first time. No matter how much she cursed in her heart, she still went to sea two days later.

For the first time in this life, with the cultivation level of King Realm, I jumped up to fight against the sub-Saint Realm monsters.

To raise Su Yan and the little beggar’s child!

……

"Ding, the system prompts, congratulations on completing the task and collecting the ingredients needed for the child's growth. You have obtained the Barrier Breaking Pill x99."

"boom!"

Seeing Nalan Yan, who was once again slashed to the floor price, leaving with a cow on her back and a happy face, Shen Xiaoxue couldn't help but punch the bluestone brick beside her.

It's a pity that the character card she is using now only has Wu Zun cultivation level. She punched the bricks protected by the Holy Land's luck. Except for bleeding from her own fist, the bricks were still unharmed.

"Ding, the system prompts, as the saying goes, you look old at the age of three. In the East China Sea, a nine-tailed jade shrimp was born. Before the age of three, it was used as medicine and will be used for life. Mission: to capture the nine-tailed jade shrimp for Su Yan and Gu Nanyi's children. Tail Jade Shrimp. Reward: Barrier Breaking Pill x99."

Tens of millions of jade shrimps in the sea can give birth to one three-tailed jade shrimp, one thousand three-tailed jade shrimp can give birth to one six-tailed jade shrimp, and only one thousand six-tailed jade shrimp can give birth to one nine-tailed jade shrimp.

This shows how precious it is and how difficult it is to capture.

Next, there are similar tasks one after another.

Shen Xiaoxue later looked back and found that she had been running for Su Yan and the little beggar's child for almost a whole year.

Shen Xiaoxue felt extremely ironic.

Looking back on her previous life, she had never fought so hard for her two biological children, especially Xue'er.

Fortunately, a year later, she finally had [-] barrier-breaking pills.

This quagmire of days is finally over!

The end was just like the beginning. Shen Xiaoxue sold thirty eggs with golden backs and silver rocs to Nalan Yan at a [-]% discount just like she had done a year ago. Watching her leave with joy, she immediately sneered. As soon as he turned around, he changed into green clothes and used the Fengwei stick that had been sealed for many years.

If the Barrier Breaking Pills are full, the Tool Man will be useless, right?

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

As a result, Nalanyan's nightmare in Beishan City many years ago reappeared on Dragon God Island.

Shen Xiaoxue's resentment at this time was completely different from what it was back then.

She vented all her anger on Nalan Yan for raising children for others this year.

A total of three thousand sticks were beaten.

It wasn't until Nalan Yan changed from scolding green bitch, green dog thief, to green mother, green grandma, green ancestor, that Shen Xiaoxue threw her into the sea like a dead dog, feeling refreshed. Return to your residence.

Shen Xiaoxue discovered that it was much more satisfying to find Nalan Yan when things were difficult than to go to the depths of the sea to find trouble for those king-level sea beasts.

You can use it more in the future!
