Chapter 568 Beishan...

After practicing Murong Ji's martial arts, his demand for food increased.

There is no way around it. The dual cultivation of sex and life, from the improvement of physical fitness to the leap in life level, requires a huge amount of energy to accumulate. Especially the leap in one's own body, the energy required is even more outrageous.

Murong Ji held Huang Shiren's hand and walked behind Tushan Rongrong, watching her buy snacks from time to time. Every time she bought something, she would put the food in her hand into her mouth.

Like a little hamster, chewing continuously.

The corner of Murong Ji's mouth twitched. Since she entered the city, she estimated that she had eaten enough food for five people along the way.

"Is Tu Shan Rong Rong going to become a fat girl in the future? Huang Shiren, what do you think?"

Huang Shiren mooed twice, as a response to Murong Ji's words.

"What will people say about Tushan's Third Master in the future? He destroyed Beishan Demon Emperor Shi Kuan with three punches, which is better than Beishan Imperial City..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this scene is so beautiful... Lin Daiyu uproots a weeping willow tree, Lin Daiyu punches Lu Zhishen..."

Murong Ji followed Tushan Rongrong muttering to himself, looking around at the surrounding environment. Humans and demons lived together, and this atmosphere of peaceful life was exactly what Murong Ji longed for.

In this kind of environment, one's mind can calm down unconsciously. A relaxed and comfortable environment and atmosphere are more conducive to spiritual practice.

"Murong Ji..." Tushan Rongrong suddenly called out, her voice a little unclear as she hadn't swallowed the food in her mouth yet.

Before he could finish, Murong Ji interrupted and emphasized, "Call me Master! I have taught you a lot of skills, so calling me Master is not excessive! Besides, even if you don't call me Master, you shouldn't call me by my name."

Tu Shangrong pursed her lips and swallowed the food in her mouth completely, but she didn't care about Murong Ji's words. She looked at the sky and continued, "It's getting late, let's find a place to eat."

Murong Ji: "..."

They chose a street stall and ordered two bowls of noodles. The boss served the food very quickly. He placed the two bowls of noodles in front of them and said with a smile, "Sir, your noodles are ready. Please enjoy."

Murong Ji picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and tasted it first. It was not bad and very appetizing. He finished half of the noodles and looked at Tu Shan Rongrong's portion. There was only soup left.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Boss, another bowl of noodles."

Murong Ji was too lazy to care about it anymore. He would not be the one to support the child in the future anyway. As for whether Tushan could afford it, that depended on Tushan's family background.

He picked up the bowl and took a sip of the noodle soup. When he put the bowl down, Murong Ji's pupils suddenly shrank and his heart sank.

Opposite their table, there were two people sitting.

Xiao Wancheng and Chen Quan.

The two seemed to have appeared at their table in an instant, so fast that Murong Ji barely noticed. He glanced around and saw that the Dao League disciples were slowly gathering around him.

Murong Ji subconsciously shrank his pupils and calmly tapped the ground with his toes. Sure enough, it was the Tianmen Curse!
Looking up, Chen Quan was right in front of him, watching him eat noodles. Murong Ji felt relieved, but also helpless, because he had only heard Xiao Wancheng say that he had killed them.

But I don't have the time and ability to confirm it.

After not seeing each other for nearly two years, Chen Quan looked like a completely different person. If his origin had not changed, Murong Ji would have suspected that Xiao Wancheng had found someone to disguise himself as Chen Quan.

At this moment, compared with his previous high spirits, he could be described as haggard.

The gorgeous clothes he wore were of a higher grade than before, but his body was skinny, his eyes were dull, but his brows were full of flattery, and he looked at Xiao Wancheng cautiously.

Murong Ji turned to look at Xiao Wancheng, his face darkened, and he continued to eat noodles without saying a word.

"Brother Chen, please persuade Xiao Mi. What's wrong with joining my Xiao family? Besides, I, Xiao Wancheng, can swear to raise him as my own son."

Xiao Wancheng's face was full of smiles, and his eyes looking at Murong Ji were full of love.

Without waiting for Chen Quan to speak, he continued, "Xiao Mi, you asked me for your father and brothers, and now I have brought them all to you. As for your mother, I also found an elder in the clan, adopted her as my adopted daughter, and asked your father to raise her as his co-wife. You see, everything has been perfectly resolved..."

Murong Ji's expression was very normal, and he said in a deep voice, "Master Xiao, why don't we talk first, father and son?"

Xiao Wancheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's good. You and your son haven't seen each other for several years. It's time to have a good chat." After he finished speaking, Xiao Wancheng stood up and walked towards the shop in the distance.

At this time, the Taoist disciples had surrounded them. Murong Ji was very curious about how Xiao Wancheng found them.
"How have you been these past two years?"

Chen Quan's voice suddenly sounded. Murong Ji turned his head and looked, feeling a little complicated.

"It's fine, don't worry about it."

As he spoke, Murong Ji quietly felt Chen Quan's pulse and checked it out. His heart sank. He sighed and said again, "It hurts a lot. It must be painful when you die."

Chen Quan didn't say much. He turned his head to look at Xiao Wancheng standing in front of the store across the street, then turned his head back and said, "If you can't escape and are taken to Xiao's house, you must protect yourself. Xiao Wancheng is no longer the righteous Xiao Wancheng he used to be."

"That mission back then... Never mind. Why am I telling you all this? If you have the chance in the future, protect your brother..."

Chen Quan paused for a moment, then said, "If you have a chance, help me take a look at her... She has never treated you and your son harshly. I... Oh!"

Murong Ji looked at Chen Quan's annoyed expression, nodded calmly, and then asked: "You have died once, how did Xiao Wancheng resurrect you?"

Chen Quan was stunned and kept silent for a long time, but finally said: "I don't know either...but it has something to do with Beishan."

The father and son chatted for a few more sentences, and suddenly they ran out of topics to talk about.

Chen Quan stared at the table, wanting to say something, but for a moment he was speechless.

Ask about his well-being? No need. Wishing him peace was not the right occasion. Neither the father nor the son had any confidence that he could escape this disaster.

If Chen Quan was asked to sacrifice his own life to pave a way for his child to live? If it was before, he would definitely do it. But now... Having died once, he knows how terrifying death is.

Being afraid of death is a normal human reaction. When it comes to that critical moment, there are really not many people who can face death calmly.

What can he say in this situation? Chen Quan knew that his thoughts were clear to his child. He didn't say much in order to protect the little remaining father-son relationship.

"Is your mother... okay? I heard she is at Wang Quan's house."

Murong Ji nodded and said lightly, "Very good."

After the words fell, the father and son fell silent again, not knowing what to say. After a long silence, Chen Quan reluctantly asked, "Do you need me to do anything?"

Murong Ji thought about it, shook his head and refused, "Live well. If you have died once, there is no need for you to do anything for us, the younger generations. Just live your own life well, that's good enough."

To face death calmly is a state of mind, let alone transcending life and death.

Then Murong Ji thought of something, took out a ball of light from his forehead, and stuffed it into Chen Quan's hand, "If there is a chance, give this thing to Chen Ning. If there is no chance, just crush it and destroy it."

Chen Quan quietly put the things away and said calmly: "Okay, I will give it to him and it will not fall into the hands of the Xiao family."

Murong Ji picked up the bowl of noodles, took a sip of the hot soup, then slowly stood up and looked towards the door of the shop. Xiao Wancheng was standing there looking at him with a smile on his face.

It was not until this time that Murong Ji felt that Xiao Wancheng was not normal. It was not that he was sick, but that his behavior violated human nature.

To what extent can a person do for his family? He had also been the head of a noble family and understood the thoughts and reasons behind it.

The existence of a family is due to blood ties. It is an interest group whose purpose is to enhance the power and voice of core family members.

Trust is the most important factor in this. Blood relationship is one of the best conditions for maintaining trust. If there is also the bond of interest, it will become extremely reliable.

However, Xiao Wancheng's state was exactly the opposite. He either beat or scolded the direct descendants of the Xiao family.

Strictness and bullying are two different concepts. Strictness means pointing out mistakes while criticizing to prevent them from happening again. Bullying, on the other hand, means suppressing people without asking for reasons.

【This is very abnormal.】

If he did it for himself, then one can imagine the dangers involved if Murong Ji joined the Xiao family.

Coming back to his senses, Murong Ji suddenly thought of the signs of Xiao Wancheng's previous possession of the devil. He was afraid that he had already been possessed by the devil. [Strengthening the Xiao family has become his obsession? ]

Although his mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, his hands did not slow down at all. In almost an instant, he casually pulled up Tu Shan Rongrong who was standing beside him.

Just as he was about to break the Tianmen Curse and escape underground! This action immediately alerted Xiao Wancheng. At the same time Murong Ji made the move, Xiao Wancheng flew up and flew straight towards them.

Murong Ji's face darkened, and he tried his best to break the Tianmen Curse. He could get away with it once or twice, but this time, how could Xiao Wancheng give him a chance?

Just when Murong Ji and Tu Shan Rongrong were half submerged in the ground, Xiao Wancheng arrived!
In a hurry, Murong Ji dragged Tu Shan Rongrong to the side, and had no time to escape. If he didn't hide, he would be shocked to death by Xiao Wancheng's momentum!
There was a loud "Bang!"

Xiao Wancheng landed directly on the spot where they were originally sitting, and his overwhelming momentum shattered the dining table and the rock slabs on the ground.

Without giving Murong Ji a chance to react, a long sword flashed out of his right hand, just in case Murong Ji did anything else. His left hand grabbed at him at a swift speed.

A cultivator of his level was using almost all his strength, and Murong Ji didn't even have the chance to fight back.
