Chapter 194 Mission Zero One Seven
To put it bluntly, the inner demon still depends on his nature and cultivation. Xiao Rong just thought about it and got stuck in the horns just now and almost got into the devil. At this time, he woke up and used his cultivation and soul to suppress the inner demons.
Xiao Ying looked at Qin Jiayu, the apprentice who had helped him accidentally, and had a smile on her handsome face that she had never smiled before in order to maintain her majesty, and her tone was much gentler than before: "Jiayu, is there anything wrong?"
Qin Jiayu looked at his master who had never smiled coldly for many years and suddenly smiled a little, and he was stunned and stared blankly, his mind was blank, and he had no idea what he was going to say, as if only the charming beauty in front of him were left in the world.
However, Xiao Rong underestimated the charm of his current fox demon shell. The original owner Bai Yu was originally a fox demon with the bloodline of the nine-tailed heavenly fox. He was born with charm. This style was also linked to his cultivation. The higher his cultivation, the more prosperous the charm. Even if Xiao Rong deliberately restrained his expression for many years and pressed it with his cold and frosty temperament, as long as he puts a soft expression and is a little gentler, the deep-rooted coquettishness will be revealed. Not to mention a little ghost cultivator in the fusion stage of Qin Jiayu, even a cultivator of the same level as Xiao Rong now will be confused.
Seeing Qin Jiayu's stupid look, Xiao Rong frowned slightly and said lightly: "If there is nothing to do, go and practice and strive to build a foundation and reshape the body as soon as possible."
After all, Qin Jiayu is the male protagonist, and the protagonist still has a halo. After hearing what Xiao Ying said, he quickly came to his senses and lowered his head in a little cramped manner and replied: "Yes, Master."
After saying that, he turned around and left. As for what happened to him when he came to find Xiao Ying before, who still remembers now?
Xiao Rong didn't care too much about what the male protagonist who was already under his control in his palm was now thinking. His mind was all on the heroine Yun Gulong, or on the system.
Xiao Rong has never given up on this male supporting system that inexplicably chose him to do the male supporting task. He traveled through so many worlds, has been working hard to enrich himself, improve his strength, and try not to rely on the plug-ins given to him by the system. For example, he has hardly used the system mall.
It’s a pity that this male supporting system is not like those systems in novels that are intelligent and thoughtful and like to communicate with the host. It is more rigid and mechanical. It never ignores some of its temptations and only operates according to its own programs, which forces Xiao Rong to slowly explore its abilities one world after another.
As for this world, although it is a punishment world, at least Xiao Ying learned about the system from the sudden appearance of the heroine's family, which made him have a bold idea - what if the task in the punishment world fails? Is it really exiled eternal darkness as the system said at the beginning of time travel? Or enter the so-called advanced punishment world to continue to do higher-level tasks?
Xiao Ying remembered that when he was bound to travel through the system, he was told that he would be exiled to eternal darkness if he failed the task. At that time, he was still a mortal, and was still afraid of this punishment, so he worked very hard to do the task. Until the fifth mission world believed too much that the so-called plot made the male protagonist and the villain wrong, causing the task to fail unexpectedly. However, he was not exiled by the system, but entered the punishment world. Later, there were even more male supporting roles wishing to complete. If they could not complete it, they would enter the advanced punishment world. The system did not mention the fact that eternal darkness would be exiled to eternal darkness if they failed.
Is it because the punishment of exile darkness is not very terrifying, so after his strength has improved, the system knows that just exiling him to the darkness for a period of time is not a punishment, so it simply lets him continue to do the task? Or is the punishment of exiling darkness a great terrifying, so the system gives him a chance to make up for the punishment quest?
It was not that he had tried to ask the system, but this system still seemed to not exist at other times except for posting tasks and summarizing tasks, so he could only test it himself.
*******
Xiao Rong's thoughts were repeated. He looked at the information about the heroine Yun Gulong coming from his subordinates, and finally gave up the idea of bringing the heroine to Baiyun Bookstore.
He looked up at the little fairies who were conscientiously serving as salesmen, and a faint smile appeared on his face. Perhaps it would be good to try it... Everything should be let nature go!
For the first time, Xiao Ying was not so concerned about pursuing the heroine to do the main task. He relaxed and leisurely stayed in Baiyun Bookstore and became a paradise with idle clouds and wild cranes. He sold books, taught his disciples, and practiced hard. He didn't have to think about how to gain the heroine's favor or did the task.
In a blink of an eye, another ten years have passed.
Under Xiao Rong's guidance, Qin Jiayu was already a master of the Jindan stage. He reshaped his body as early as the foundation-building stage and was no longer a ghost cultivator.
Xiao Ying, who was no longer obsessed with the task, did not forbid Qin Jiayu from leaving Baiyun Bookstore and returning to the Qin family to live with his parents. However, for some reason, Qin Jiayu did not leave. He just often visited Qin's father and mother, but still lived with Xiao Ying in the cave opened in Baiyun Bookstore.
It has been nearly thirty years since Xiao Ying took Qin Jiayu away. Qin Jiayu was originally the old son of Qin's father and mother. Even if the couple had a son from the Golden Pill stage to help extend their lives, it was finally time for their life to be near.
So during this period, Qin Jiayu stayed in the Qin family and accompanied Qin's father and mother for the last period of their lives.
Xiao Rong was quietly guarding Baiyun Bookstore. He thought that his days in this world would continue to walk away from this world in peace.
However, on a rainy day, his peaceful life was unexpectedly broken.
The sky was gloomy and drizzling this day, and the business of the bookstore was not good, so Xiao Ying planned to close the door early.
However, just when he asked the group of salespeople and fairies to return to their nest, a girl wearing a white dress who was very embarrassed but still beautiful and dazzlingly rushed into the bookstore. Her expression was a little panicked, but after coming in, she forced the panic to calm herself down. She looked at Xiao Ying and said apologetically: "Sorry, I disturbed the owner. The rain has not stopped. Can I take shelter from the rain here?"
Xiao Rong could see at a glance that the woman's cultivation was in the late stage of foundation building. She described her as a miserable person because of internal injuries. Judging from the demonic aura on her body, she should have been injured by monsters.
He opened the door to do business and has not closed yet. Although the woman hid in the bookstore with a trouble, Xiao Ying naturally could not drive away the person, so he tacitly agreed to stay.
*******
The woman glanced at Xiao Rong's expression with some anxiety. Thinking of the snake demon who was chasing the peak of the Foundation Establishment Period behind, she kept praying in her heart that there was a master in Baiyun Bookstore that the master said was true, otherwise she would have fallen into the hands of the snake demon today and would be worse than death.
The woman's "sickness for the rain" kept hiding until it was dark outside and the rain did not stop.
Xiao Ying lit the lamp, and the ancient bronze lamp with the lights as bright as beans, making the whole bookstore a little gloomy. He looked out the window, then looked at the woman and said, "Girl, it seems that the rain will not stop for a while." As he said that, he took out a paper umbrella, "I lent this umbrella to the girl."
The woman in the white dress heard Xiao Ying speak to drive people away, and was embarrassed to stay silly. She thought that after so long, the snake demon had not caught up with her. It should be fine, so she smiled at Xiao Ying and said, "Thank you for your kindness. I don't think the rain is heavy. It's okay to go back in the rain, so this umbrella is not necessary." What can a paper umbrella work? As she said that, she walked out of the door.
Xiao Ying stopped her: "If a girl wants to go home, it is better to bring this umbrella. If the rain accidentally hits heavy, she can respond to the emergency." Then she refused to hand the simple and ordinary paper umbrella to her.
The woman was stunned for a moment, looked down at the umbrella in her hand. She did not refuse again, but left with the umbrella.
The rain outside was really not heavy, just like a cow's hair. The seemingly ordinary dress on her body was actually a defensive magic weapon. The rain could not wet her body at all, so she didn't hold the paper umbrella open.
Baiyun Bookstore is located in the downtown area, but it was dark and raining at this time, and there were no pedestrians on the road, and the woman was walking in a hurry.
In an alley with no people away from Baiyun Bookstore, the woman had just stepped into the alley and felt a fishy smell with murderous aura. She subconsciously pinched a defensive magic trick and flew away, but she couldn't hide. A black giant python that was more than ten meters long was biting at her with a bloody mouth. The fishy smell was emitted from the bloody mouth of the giant python.
This was the snake demon chasing her. It didn't leave. It kept waiting outside the Baiyun Bookstore for her to come out before attacking her. In a hurry, she could not avoid the snake demon's long-planned killing attack.
At that time, when the woman saw the snake demon's bloody mouth, she had been bitten by the snake demon's poisonous fangs. When she was about to be swallowed whole, the paper umbrella that she had been holding in her hand that had not been thrown away suddenly flew up automatically, covering her head. A faint light fell from the edge of the umbrella to form a defense circle. No matter how powerful the snake demon's teeth were or how strong the swallowing power was, it could not shake the seemingly fragile defense of the paper umbrella.
