Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

Su Cheng lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then closed the bottle.

After a while, he would give the Insect Queen and the Lotus Seeds to the little girl and let her refine them into medicinal pills.

At this time, the door of the cave was opened again. Su Cheng looked up and saw a small head sticking in.

Dong Xi noticed Su Cheng looking at her and chuckled. She immediately entered the cave and closed the door. Dong Xi said, “Snake, do you still remember that you killed a member of Beast Trainer Sect when you saved me?”

Su Cheng squinted his eyes and played with the porcelain bottle in his hand.

Standing in the light and shadow, it felt very fragile.

“He’s just a nobody. Do I still need to remember him?” Su Cheng said indifferently.

Dong Xi stood at the side and did not refute, appearing very well-behaved.

Dong Xi said, “It’s fine as long as you know it’s a human. These two days, I’ve been looking through the jade slips and saw a notice from Beast Trainer Sect. They said that the demonic race had invaded. That disciple was bewitched by the demonic race. Is it true? Could it be related to Demon Lord Su Cheng?”

Su Cheng froze for a moment. Dong Xi instantly felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar. She shivered and looked up at Su Cheng.

Su Cheng’s face was hidden in the light, and Dong Xi couldn’t see it clearly, so she did not know what the snake was thinking.

Dong Xi thought carefully. Did she say something wrong?

After a long time, Su Cheng faintly said, “The human race always makes their own mistakes and then throws the blame to others. First, it was the demon race, and now it’s the demonic beast race.”

Dong Xi pretended to be calm and said, “Anyway, it’s not the demon race, so it’s fine. I thought it was true. Not long ago, the demon race in the valley was an example. A demon is already so powerful. If the demon race really invades, it’ll be really tragic!”

Su Cheng’s face became more and more serious as he listened to Dong Xi’s words. He smiled and said, “You’re just a kid. Why are you thinking so much? even if the sky falls, there’s still the Sect Master. You don’t need to worry.”

“You’re right,” said Dong Xi with a smile. “Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’m leaving.”

Dong Xi went out and stood under the sun. The cold feeling dissipated bit by bit.

The smile on Dong Xi’s face disappeared, and her expression gradually became serious.

There was no other reason, but Dong Xi suddenly had a guess.

The unkempt snake that Dong Xi had returned with might be Demon Lord Su Cheng?

Dong Xi subconsciously walked towards the willow tree. Liu Qing and Songsong saw Dong Xi and immediately came down from the tree.

Songsong’s concerned words resounded in Dong Xi’s mind. “Xiaoxi! You’re finally out! Did the snake bully you?”

Dong Xi looked into Songsong’s eyes. She did not want them to worry. Dong Xi smiled and said, “No, snakes are usually very reasonable.”

Only then did Songsong relax. Liu Qing, who was beside her, asked, “Xiaoxi, Songsong said that the snake is your ancestor? Your family has a demonic beast bloodline?”

Dong Xi was completely dumbfounded. Wasn’t Liu Qing’s imagination a little too rich?

Dong Xi looked at Songsong, who was spouting nonsense. Dong Xi asked, “Song song, did you say that the snake is my ancestor?”

At this moment, Songsong did not realize the severity of the situation. It looked at Dong Xi with a puzzled face and said, “Isn’t it? Didn’t you say you were going in to coax our ancestor?”

Dong Xi, “…”

That’s right, this little demonic beast, Songsong, still doesn’t understand the twists and turns of how humans address each other.

Dong Xi let out a sigh and explained, “He’s not my ancestor. I saved him before. Now, he’s just a Turtledove occupying the magpie’s nest.”

“What’s the matter?” Liu Qing asked, puzzled.

Dong Xi took out the thing that the serpent had given her and waved it in front of Songsong and Liu Qing. Dong Xi said, “He was the one who occupied my house. But it’s fine, he paid the rent!”

Liu Qing finally understood. Dong Xi was afraid that these two guys would continue to talk nonsense. Dong Xi said seriously, “You must not tell anyone that he is here. Now that we have formed a contract, we are on the same boat. If anything happens to him, I will not have a good end either!”

Dong Xi’s tone was filled with grief and indignation. Ever since she had been stabbed through the heart by a sword, Dong Xi had been living on the edge, living carefully.

Right now, Dong Xi only wanted to become stronger as soon as possible. Otherwise, when would she be able to control her own fate?

“I have a contract with Xiaoxi,” said Songsong seriously. “I won’t say anything.”

“Xiaoxi saved Xiao Qing, so Xiao Qing won’t say anything,” Liu Qing nodded.

When Dong Xi heard the two of them say this, a gratified smile appeared on her face. At this moment, the prohibition outside the mountain seemed to have been touched by someone.
