Nathan was in the middle stage of the Golden Core after all, and was not overwhelmed by Henry's momentum. He coughed lightly and said, "I swear to you, this is really the last time!"
"Haha." Henry sneered, "You said the same thing when you brought Lily back last time."
When it came to the little junior sister, Nathan immediately felt confident: "If I hadn't picked her up, how would you have raised such a cute little junior sister?"
Henry's eyebrows jumped, and he finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "These are two different things!"
"Don't get angry!" Nathan said as he stepped back and reminded him carefully: "Seeing that in a few years we will break through the golden elixir path and reach Yuanying, we can't fail!"
Henry gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. Even though he really wanted to scold Nathan, he could not show any expression on his face. This was the drawback of the Guiyi Qingjing method.
The further you go in practicing this mental method, the higher your level becomes, and the harder it becomes to express emotions like normal people, until you give up completely. But as long as Nathan is a scourge, he will never reach the highest state of being mindless and selfless.
Nathan was sure that he couldn't do it, and said confidently: "I just felt sorry for you being alone, so I found you a little apprentice to accompany you. This is for your own good!"
"Then sleep with your own apprentice like you did?" Henry said to him sarcastically.
Nathan was shameless and admitted it very generously, with a proud look on his face: "What's wrong with this?"
"We Lan Lan is gentle and considerate, you have no idea how kind he is!"
Henry snorted disdainfully: "Why should I know how good he is?"
"I think your brain is useless. Be careful of being killed by that ba5tard someday!"
Nathan turned a deaf ear to him and waved his hand indifferently: "You are just jealous."
"Anyway, I have brought the children back. If you don't like them, you can throw them off the mountain!"
"Lan Lan is still waiting for me to go back, so take the first step."
After saying that, Nathan turned around and disappeared on the spot. He used the earth escape technique very skillfully and slipped away without a trace before Henry drew his sword.
Henry was a step too slow when he drew his sword and opened the door, ready to chase him. Unexpectedly, he ran into a young boy as soon as he opened the door.
The silver light cast by the moon complemented the snow on the ground, illuminating the surrounding area as brightly as day. With the bright moonlight, he could see the young man clearly.
Cultivators are not afraid of severe cold. They have their own Qi to protect their bodies. However, for an ordinary mortal, wearing only a thin coat in such an extremely harsh low temperature environment is tantamount to suicide.
But even though his whole body was shivering with cold, the young man still stood stubbornly motionless in the snow, like a small sapling that was about to grow.
He was of slight stature, and looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, somewhat younger than Lily. The cold moonlight fell on his overly pale and still childish face, which could not conceal the handsomeness and elegance between his brows.
Henry met his eyes. The sword in his hand was still covered with frost. The young man's eyes stayed on the sword for a moment, he pursed his lips and lowered his head and stopped talking.
The two of them were speechless for a moment. No matter how unhappy Henry was, he couldn't do anything to a child. He quickly stopped his hand, and the Sky-Splitting Sword melted into his body.
After a long time, Henry walked up to the young man. Taking advantage of his height, he looked down at the young man and said, "Name."
The young man whispered back: "My name is Kai."
Although Nathan was not a good person, Henry couldn't really ignore it. It was so cold up and down Wucang Mountain that there was not even a dog. If he were thrown out on such a cold snowy night, he would freeze to death in less than half an hour.
"Follow me." Henry figured it out, turned around and said to the young man behind him.
Kai hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his foot and followed.
Although the Dianxing Sect was very poor, fortunately the house was enough to live in. The house where Henry's master died had been abandoned for many years, and with a little tidying up it could barely accommodate him for one night.
Kai behind him was silent all the way, showing no curiosity or doubt about the unfamiliar environment. He showed maturity beyond his age, which made Henry feel a little fond of him, because he hated people who were too talkative and naughty without self-awareness. bad boy.
When they arrived at their destination, Henry stepped forward to open the door. Unexpectedly, the wooden door was in disrepair and had no one to take care of it. As soon as his hand touched the door panel, the door smashed down the next moment.
Henry turned around to avoid it, and the door panel hit Kai head-on.
Kai: ...
Seeing the red marks on Kai's handsome face from being hit by a wooden board, Henry felt very guilty and spoke softly without realizing it: "Are you okay?"
Kai looked over with a miserable and swollen face, with 'What do you think?' written all over his face? '.
"Ahem." Henry felt guilty. When he avoided it, he forgot that there was Kai behind him who didn't know magic. "I'll treat you later. Let's go in first."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the house.
The moment he turned his back, Kai rolled his eyes at him fiercely, raised his hand and touched his face. The door panel weighed more than ten kilograms, and it really hurt when it hit his face. If he wasn't afraid that his identity would be exposed now, why would he pretend to be a helpless mortal and suffer this crime.
At this time, Henry finally found a candle in the cupboard and lit it. Only then did Kai see the whole room clearly.
He had never seen such a crude place in his life.
There is only a stone bed, a wooden table, and a washstand in the room. The four corners are covered with dense spider webs. The smell of dampness and rot is everywhere. It is hard to imagine that this is a residence for the sect to entertain guests, and it is used for guests. The lighting object turned out to be a broken candle!
This made Kai, who had been pampered since childhood and had a box full of luminous pearls as toys, deeply suspicious of the devil.
He began to regret coming to this place. When he set his sights on Nathan, he felt that the spiritual energy in his body was pure and sufficient. He thought that by following him, he would be able to find a place to hide his strength and keep a low profile until he could avenge his brother in the future.
He glanced around the room a few more times stealthily, doubting whether he had boarded a pirate ship.
Henry raised his hand and cast various cleaning spells. The windows on all sides suddenly opened wide, blowing in a gust of cold wind and sweeping away the dust all over the room.
Kai lost his magical power and couldn't help but tremble again.
The cobwebs in the room were also cleared away. Henry went to his room, took a quilt, put it on the bed, and said calmly: "You can sleep here tonight."
"Yes." Kai lowered his eyebrows and nodded, wondering if he would find a way to escape tomorrow. There was no reliable person in this place.
Henry was about to say that he would be sent down the mountain tomorrow when he heard a loud sound coming from Kai's stomach.
Kai blushed and covered his stomach, and turned his head away in embarrassment. His body was too weak now and needed to absorb nutrients. He didn't expect to lose face in front of outsiders.
Henry understood, turned around and went out again: "Wait."
Seeing him leave, Kai breathed a sigh of relief, then he sat on the bed, gasping for breath, holding his chest. Only at this time did he dare to show a little fatigue.
Just three days ago, he was the lawless young master of the Demon Clan's Dead Leaf City, causing trouble everywhere. Who would have thought that he would be suddenly attacked by his own brother, who beat him half-life and threw him out, and also sealed the city gate. He couldn't find his way home.
Seriously injured and without a source of spiritual power, Kai could not maintain his adult state, so he could only flee to the human world in embarrassment, fearing that his brother, who was crazy in some way, would chase him and kill him.
The demon clan didn't have any sense of family ties, even brothers didn't have deep feelings for each other, but Kai didn't expect that he would be so cruel, and he was completely defenseless.
With his heart still aching, Kai raised his hand to see that he had only a little bit of magic left, frowned and worried about the future. This place was too poor, and it didn't look like a shelter. No wonder the man in red was obsessed with it. I wanted to kidnap him here, but it turned out that there was no one there.
Kai let out a long sigh.
On the other end, Henry came to the kitchen, took out the remaining half chicken from the vat, put it into an urn, added water and ingredients, and put it in the pot to heat. He turned around and took the kitchen knife and was busy on the chopping board again. After a while, the aroma of chicken soup wafted out. .
After a while, Liam came in carrying a wild boar and whispered, "I'm back."
Henry turned around, looked at him and asked, "Did you go next door to steal the pig again?"
Wucang Mountain is covered by ice, snow and frost all year round. There are no living creatures in the mountain, let alone those spiritual beasts. Therefore, Liam would occasionally go to the neighboring sect's territory to snatch other people's spiritual beasts.
There is no way, the spiritual beasts outside are too expensive and they can’t afford the good quality ones.
Spirit beasts are different from ordinary beasts. Their meat can be regarded as a tonic for cultivators to improve their cultivation. Although the effect is very small, it is of great benefit to junior brothers and sisters, so Henry also Throw away that bit of moral restraint.
Liam had already been led astray by him. The two brothers took turns stealing pigs all year round. As long as they didn't catch a whole family, they would hardly be discovered. Henry had been able to steal for a long time without any psychological burden.
Most of the chicken soup was given to the junior sister, and the roasted pork chops were given to the junior brother. He put the remaining meat on a tray and planned to take it to Kai.
"Kai?" Liam was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Senior brother has picked up someone again?"
Nathan's problem of picking up people is not unique to him. This has been the custom of Dianxing Sect for many years. Who said they can't recruit people? Almost all the brothers and sisters in the sect came like this, even Henry He was deceived by Nathan when he was still in a state of confusion when he first came here. He had been playing tricks for him for 125 years.
"Don't mention it anymore." Henry felt annoyed when he thought of Nathan. He briefly said a few words to his second senior brother and then took the tray out.
Kai was almost asleep when he suddenly smelled a scent. He suddenly opened his eyes. Two black horns grew out of his forehead and his eyes were blood red.
His body had reached the limit of loss, and he was very thirsty for flesh and blood. Suddenly he smelled the fragrance of spiritual flesh and almost went crazy. Fortunately, he was still conscious at the last moment, and tried his best to control not to leak the evil energy. When he was looking at the moon, he came in and shrank the horns on his head. Went back.
Henry walked in with food, put it on the table and said, "Eat it."
Kai wanted to restrain himself, but his body reacted before him. He rushed to the table, grabbed the meat on the plate and chewed it in big mouthfuls, looking ferocious and vicious.
Henry stood beside him with her hands folded on her chest and watched him eat quietly. She was calm at first, but gradually her mood exploded.
He didn't know who this little kid belonged to, and the little meat he was served was not enough to cause trouble for him. When he finished eating and stared at himself eagerly, Henry could only eat the remaining meat in the kitchen and planned to give it to him tomorrow. The junior sister took out all the meat for snacks.
But Kai was not satisfied at all. He had a great meal and ate a whole piece of pork ribs without even spitting out any bones. He actually performed what it means to have three mouths of a pig. Liam had all the pigs that he had worked hard to steal. belly.
Ivy held her face and looked at him with admiration, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Wow~"
Henry's heart was bleeding, and she made up her mind that she must send him away. If he continued to eat, he might not even be able to keep his last pair of underwear.
Who can afford this thing?
