Demon King's Repayment - chapter 290

When Yuan Xiang and others descended from the mountain, they ran into a group of local officials carrying various tools, hurriedly traveling, and rushing to help the victims.

When they saw the Taoists of the Qingyi Sect, the officials greeted them one after another, thanking the Taoists for their help.

They were all lucky. Lianghe Town had not been flooded for many years, so they neglected prevention. The flood came in a hurry. If it hadn’t been for the help of an expert from the Qingyi Sect to hold the river embankment, the people’s casualties would have been even more tragic.

One of Qingyuan’s apprentices, Taoist Xu Ji, came forward to respond. He was about to explain that when he and others arrived there, Yuan Xiang was already there to protect Lianghe Town.

However, he saw Yuan Xiang holding her wolf, leaving by herself as if it had nothing to do with her.

What was even more difficult was that his master, Master Qingyuan, had no plan to entertain these local officials at all. He actually left his disciples behind and followed behind Taoist Yuan Xiao.

Xu Ji was more than half a hundred years old. He had a white beard, and his personality was calm. In comparison, he was the most immortal in appearance among these people, so when they were dealing with outsiders, most of them pushed him out.

Therefore, outsiders basically didn’t know that the unremarkable young man who was always at the end of the team was their master, the famous Taoist Master Qingyuan.

At that moment, the Taoist Master Qingyuan didn’t care about his apprentice at all, and just wanted to pry out more of the keys to successfully contract apostles from Yuan Xiang’s mouth. Thinking that he had the opportunity to have many powerful apostles like Yuan Xiang, his long-silent heart almost burned again.

Yuan Xiang walked back along the bank of the river where the flood faded. Although she tried her best to save many lives, the power of natural disasters couldn’t be resisted by personal ability. There were still many houses and villages along the way. The flood was submerged, and the whole place was devastated and ruined.

On the muddy road, homeless living people covered their faces and cried, and the souls of the dead who did not know their way home wandered the world, and demons of all sizes bred in chaos and disorder.

A young couple was holding their daughter who had just died in the water disaster. The mother could not accept the sudden death of her child and almost collapsed. She desperately kissed the little girl’s muddy eyes, calling her nickname, “Niuniu, my Niuniu, wake up soon. No, no.”

Her tall and strong husband hugged his wife and daughter tightly and wept silently.

Just beside the couple who were clustered together, stood a neatly dressed little girl with a double-up bun. She looked at her crying parents in a daze, and did not understand what had happened.

“Mom, dad, Niuniu is here!”

When Yuan Xiang passed by them, she suddenly turned her palm out, and an exquisite golden ball twirled in her palm. The golden ball rang, and hit the girl’s shoulder. The girl leaped forward and plunged into the body in her parents’ arms.

The crying man suddenly noticed a small hand touching his cheek, he opened his eyes in disbelief.

“Niuniu!” He touched her face.

“Lady, lady, look!” The man pushed his wife who was at a loss.

The lost family huddled together ecstatically, and laughter mixed with crying came from behind.

“Ah, that’s great. You have such a kind heart, and you must have grown up in such a happy family,” Qingyuan said.

Yuan Xiang didn’t speak, but looked back at the girl who was held tightly in her parents’ arms and was regarded as a treasure.

Because she was planning to go to Kunlun, Yuan Xiang needed to go back to Queqiu to tell Ru Shi. Qingyuan seemed to be afraid of her running away, and just followed her.

To her little surprise, Qingyuan seemed to be very used to walking in the market, doing the same thing as her.

Yuan Xiang couldn’t help asking, “Cultivation is the long-term vision of oneself, so shouldn’t cultivators be quiet and inactive, avoid the world and practice? The behavior of the Taoist Master seems to be different.”

“Don’t listen to those crooked truths.” Qingyuan said, “The so-called entry into the spiritual world, there is no real entry into it. By blindly avoiding the world and cultivating, not only will you not be able to get true tranquility, I am afraid that you will also miss the main principles. “

“Senior’s remarks are somewhat similar to my master’s view of life.”

“I am curious. I really want to see who it is that could teach a special apprentice like you.”

The two talked all the way, and soon returned to Queqiu Town. Because of the terrain and Yuan Xiang’s key support, it was almost completely unaffected by the flood. The townspeople in the town walked back and forth, bought and sold, and the place was as lively and warm as in the past.

Qingyuan followed Yuan Xiang along the stone bridge in the town, and the townspeople passing by greeted Yuan Xiang enthusiastically.

“Ah Xiang, welcome back.”

“Taoist Yuan, welcome back.”

A woman on the roadside selling cakes grabbed Yuan Xiang and showed her the child she was carrying on her back, “Help me take a look at my baby, okay? Since last night, she has been crying nonstop.”

That was a very young mother, carrying her child on her back to set up a business stall, but the child was crying and sweating. Yuan Xiang patted her shoulder casually, but secretly pulled off a six-legged demon that was dragging her body firmly.

The frightened baby finally stopped crying and soon fell asleep.

“Okay, just come to my house in the afternoon to get a healing charm.”

Yuan Xiang received a few copper plates from her symbolically, and the woman thanked her for her kindness, wrapped a piece of hot cake, and forced it into Yuan Xiang’s hand.

Carrying the cake and continuing forward, there was a huge black-headed demon standing on the bridge, Yuan Xiang handed the hot cake to his hand, and got a newly opened camellia from his hand.

“Oh, it’s really nice here. Compared with the outside, it’s like a paradise.” Qingyuan looked around, “That’s a demon. Do you just get along with them like this? Oh, it doesn’t seem to matter, it’s quite peaceful.”

Shi Fu, who was busy helping to transport goods under the bridge, saw Yuan Xiang and raised his hand to greet her, “Hey, Ah Xiang.”

“Hey, I’m back. Take Shi Jun to my house for dinner tonight, Wu Yuan misses him.”

“Okay, I’ll come,” Shi Fu reused a towel and wipes his sweat. He worked there and seemed to have adapted to human life.

“Then, what is that?” Qingyuan pulled Yuan Xiang’s sleeve, astonished, and lowered his voice as much as possible, “The boy just now looks like a human, but actually has an ancient bloodline hidden in his body. That’s right, I absolutely can’t see it wrong, it’s an ancient beast.”

“Yes, he is a mixed race, and his mother is a dragon.”

“Dragon, dragon, dragon…” Qingyuan stammered, “You know the dragon clan?”

Yuan Xiang was helpless, “Don’t hold me.”

Although Qingyuan was not young, as a Taoist, he had taken an expanding life pill. His appearance looked very young, so standing with Yuan Xiang, he was inevitably a little eye-catching.
