The moonlight was cold. On the Peacock Sea, the Giant Leviathan that had carried the Demon City for hundreds of years had already fallen asleep. Most of the lights in the Demon City had also been extinguished, leaving only some night markets that were still brightly lit.
On the Phoenix Terrace, countless cultivators were still absorbing the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, cultivating arduously, seeking a breakthrough in strength.
On the Star Observation Platform, starlight poured down like a waterfall. Su Chen sat on a bench, drinking tea and playing with the Demon Core in his hand.
He had already used half an hour to tell Kong Miaoyin all the information about Lin Fanghua that he had sorted out.
Kong Miaoyin was also silent for half an hour, staring at the portrait of Lin Fanghua in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister, you've deceived me so hard!"
Kong Miaoyin suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Sister Miaoyin, are you sure?" Su Chen asked.
Kong Miaoyin walked to Su Chen's side and sat down, saying, "Although I'm not sure, I'm eighty to ninety percent sure that my Senior Sister and the demon race's Saintess Lin Fanghua are the same person."
"When I was eight years old, Senior Sister came from the outer sea alone with a sword. No one knew her identity and origin. She said that she was a fisherman's daughter, and because of the guidance of an expert, she stepped into the threshold of cultivation. But at that time, Senior Sister's words and actions were not like that of a fisherman's daughter. But at that time, I was young and ignorant, so I didn't have any doubts about Senior Sister's origin."
"Later, we cultivated together, day and night, and were inseparable. I regarded Senior Sister as the light on the path of cultivation, and received her teachings. What I learned from Senior Sister was even more than what I learned from Master. At that time, I began to wonder why Senior Sister knew so many cultivation methods. It was just that the strong worship and admiration made me lose the ability to judge myself when facing Senior Sister."
"Later, Senior Sister proposed to take me to the Northern Demon Kingdom to study. After she came to the Demon Kingdom, she didn't have any sense of unfamiliarity. Instead, she was like a fish in water. Everything went smoothly, so that I didn't have to worry about any worldly matters and could focus on studying in peace."
"On Senior Sister's face, there was always an innocent and bright smile. I thought it was Senior Sister's natural optimism, but later I realized that Senior Sister's smile was a carefree and open-minded smile after seeing through all worldly troubles."
"…"
Kong Miao Yin talked about a lot of things she had experienced with her Senior Sister. As she talked, the deep admiration in her eyes involuntarily revealed itself.
Looking at Kong Miaoyin's sparkling eyes, Su Chen knew not to disturb her. Even if he was bored, he still continued to listen patiently.
Suddenly, Kong Miaoyin changed the topic.
"When I found out that Senior Sister was pregnant, no one knew how much of a blow I suffered in my heart. Senior Sister, who was like a goddess in my heart, who transcended the secular world and was untainted by dust, actually fell into the world of love. This was a reality that I couldn't accept."
"Senior Sister and I had a big fight, but from the beginning to the end, no matter how angry I was, Senior Sister always faced me with the same smile as before. This let me know how determined Senior Sister's heart is, and my words could not affect her decision at all."
"From then on, I never saw Senior Sister again. Until one day, a rumor spread in the Thousand Demons Nation that Yellow Dragon Dao Lord had severed his father-son relationship with Di Tianlong for a woman."
"When I heard this news, I suddenly understood why Senior Sister was so infatuated with that man."
"I took the initiative to look for Senior Sister's whereabouts. I even thought that if we couldn't stay in the Thousand Demons Nation, we would return to the Eastern Sea Region together and start over. Even if I couldn't spend time with Senior Sister every day, as long as I could see her every day, it would be great."
"But no matter how I looked, I couldn't find Senior Sister's whereabouts. Until one day, on a stormy day, I heard that Di Tianlong had made his move!"
"When I passed through the storm and finally found Senior Sister, she was already on the verge of death. But even at the last moment of her life, the smile on Senior Sister's face was as warm and bright as the first time I saw her. The last thing she said to me was to take good care of her child. At that time, Little Xuan, who was still in swaddling clothes, grabbed my fingers tightly and cried loudly. She seemed to know that her biological mother had left her forever …"
After saying all this, Kong Miaoyin's face was already wet with two streams of tears.
Su Chen was at a loss for words. He could only clumsily hug Kong Miaoyin and gently pat her back.
Kong Miaoyin cried for a long time. Only when Su Chen's shoulder was completely soaked by her tears, did she gradually regain her composure.
She once again raised her head to look at the portrait and said in the most determined tone, "Senior Sister, if you know in the underworld, I will definitely avenge you and kill Di Tianlong with my own hands!"
Su Chen didn't know what to say. He had seen Di Tianlong's strength. An expert of that level was almost invincible. Killing him was easier said than done.
However, Su Chen couldn't back down when it came to expressing his stance.
"Sister Miaoyin, don't worry. Lingxuan is my woman. Then, your Senior Sister is my mother-in-law. I will definitely not sit by and do nothing. When I break through the Inextinguishable Calamity, I will personally avenge her!"
Kong Miaoyin looked at Su Chen's determined gaze and said, "With your words, I am much more at ease. I know my own limits. It is already a great fortune to be able to break through the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. I might not have the chance to reach the next level in my life. But you are different. Although you have not broken through the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, I believe that one day, you will be able to stand at the peak of the Xuanyuan Continent. At that time, the mission of avenging Lingxuan will also fall on you."
Su Chen patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."
"Brat, it is still too early to boast. Quickly take your beast core and go back to cultivate. Break through the 99 Great Calamity and enter the Sea of Reincarnation Realm as soon as possible."
Kong Miaoyin poked Su Chen's forehead coquettishly and chased him away.
Su Chen resentfully prepared to leave, but before he could turn around, he heard Kong Miaoyin say, "Wait, there's no hurry to cultivate. Stay and have a few drinks with me tonight. It's all your fault. You made me recall so many past events. I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight."
Su Chen blushed with shame. Are you going to blame me for this too?
"Sister Miaoyin, are you sure? Last time when you were drunk, your behavior was not elegant."
"Brat, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Last time when I was drunk, did you transform into Senior Sister's appearance and take advantage of me?"
"Cough, cough …"
Su Chen was very embarrassed. He immediately raised his hand and swore, "Heaven and earth can be my witness. I, Su Chen, am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others."
"Look at how scared you are."
Kong Miaoyin chuckled and suddenly said, "Since you can transform so well, then transform again. I want to drink three cups with Senior Sister."
Sweat …
