Chapter 227: Living a Riskier Life

Under the night sky, a bedroom door was pushed open.

Daji put on a simple nightgown and walked out of the room. The gentle breeze blew her long hair as she exuded a faint glow. Even darkness did not dare to get close to her.

Outside the four-part architecture, a small fox was leaning languidly on a tree branch. Its ears were perked up as it stared at the gate, waiting in boredom.

A Wild Boar Demon and Black Bear Demon were standing beneath the tree. Their bodies were rigid as they were the bodyguards on duty.

By the side, the Green Python Demon’s body was rigid well. It stretched from the ground up to the little fox, functioning as its ladder.

The Wild Bear Demon rubbed its hands and said with an anxious and uneasy tone, “Lord, could you speak to your sister at some point? Perhaps she could speak to the expert and get us a small role by his side?”

The Black Bear Demon’s eyes sparkled as it said, “Brother, you should be grateful. At least you got to show your face to the expert the other day. You even helped him with something. I’m still doing underground tasks for him. It’s so cruel!”

The Green Python Demon said with a look of anticipation, “If only we could hang around the expert’s side. I’d be grateful to have a meal from time to time.”

The little fox said helplessly, “I haven’t even been able to officially tag along with the expert myself.”

Suddenly, it looked up and the languidness disappeared from its eyes. It cried out excitedly, “Sister!”

With that, it jumped on the Green Python Demon’s head, using it as a ladder to set her down on the ground.

The Wild Boar Demon and the rest jumped as they called out with respect, “De...Demon King!”

“I didn’t ask you to become the Demon King to enjoy life. Now, you’re too lazy to even walk?”

Daji was not in a good mood today. Her delicate hand raised the little fox’s tails and frowned. “It’s been so long. Why are there only eight tails?”

The little fox said, sounding wronged and terrified, “Soon, Sister! The trace of the ninth tail is showing.”

Daji sighed slightly. “Look at you, you’re too lazy! Once you become a Nine-Tailed Fox, you’ll become an official Demon King. Then, my master wouldn’t need a phoenix as a pet!”

Now that the road between the two realms had been connected, things were changing in the world. Her master probably did not want to cause additional trouble, so he recruited a phoenix to function as the most powerful existence in his yard.

If the little fox could become a Nine-Tailed Fox sooner, it could replace the phoenix!

Sigh, the stupid phoenix got lucky!

‘Phoe...phoenix!?”

The simple word struck like lightning, resonating in the ears of the three demons. Their bodies stiffened and they became three sculptures.

They even thought about tagging along with the expert. So, only a bigshot like a phoenix had the right to tag along with him?

They thought too much, they thought too much!

Daji glared at the three demons as she scoffed coldly, “Do I sense dissatisfaction?”

“No, absolutely not!” The Wild Boar Demon jumped, trembling all over as it half-cried out, “Actually, we’re just looking for a part-time job. We’d be very happy if we could just get a part-time job!”

The Green Python Demon and Black Bear Demon were so terrified, they were nodding wildly.

Daji did not care about them. She took out the bowl and handed it to the little fox. “This bowl contains phoenix blood. Drink it. I’ll help you break through your ninth tail tonight!”

“Phoenix blood?” The little fox was stunned.

This was phoenix blood, a priceless treasure to all demons.

This kind of ancient bloodline could improve a demon’s bloodline. It was equivalent to improving the demon’s potential without limits.

The other three demons had red eyes. They were sniffing wildly as if a sniff of the phoenix blood would fulfill their lives.

Daji carried the little fox and jumped into the forest. She pestered, “Drink it now, I’ll make you a formation.”

“Oh...”

The little fox hugged the bowl that was almost as big as its body, gulping down the liquid.

There was not much blood in the bowl, but as the little fox drank, its little tummy increased in size like a ball.

Bam!

It tossed the bowl aside and scratched on its full tummy with its paws. It had a pained look on its face. Its snow-white fur had turned red.

Daji said, “Feel this energy and use it to awaken your bloodline!”

“Argh...” The little fox could not take it anymore. It laid on the ground. “Sister, I’m scared.”

Squeak!

By the side, a burst of mocking laughter was heard. The Fire Phoenix was perched on a tree branch nearby. It was looking at the little fox with intrigue.

It said with a mocking smile, “Oh, so there’s a little fox. Little fox, what does my blood taste like?”

Daji looked at the Fire Phoenix and made a jeering scoff.

The Fire Phoenix smiled faintly. “Your little sister’s quite special. This won’t work. Shall I use my flames to excite her?”

“No need!” Daji shook her head. She carried the little fox in her hands and walked away arrogantly.

Swiftly after, the little fox’s panting voice was heard vaguely, “Waa...sister. I can’t take it anymore... I can’t...”

A moment later, Daji walked back with a dark face. She was embarrassed. She tossed the little fox to the Fire Phoenix and said, “You do it!”

The Fire Phoenix moisturized her lips. She reached out as flaming red rings were glowing on her palms.

It looked at the little fox sadistically, “Little fox, bear the pain. It might hurt more in the beginning and it might bleed slightly. Trust me, you’ll feel good after.”

“Waa...don’t come near me. Sister, save me!”

...

Time slipped past silently like flowing water.

Three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Three rays of light landed on the foot of the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

There were three elders. One of them had five chickens tied around his waist. He looked rather ridiculous.

Gu Changqing said with a polite tone, “The expert lives on this mountain.”

“Wonderful! Wonderful!” Payne adjusted his belt. His eyes were filled with sincerity and respect as he said in awe, “This mountain is not too tall and not too steep. It seems ordinary but it’s in fact greener than the others. It has strange flowers and plants, and flowing streams. Especially its name, the Fallen Immortal Mountain, which represents the saying of how the height of a mountain is irrelevant as long as an Immortal lives on it. The expert picked this location with careful consideration. He’s indeed an expert!”

Gu Changqing looked at Payne in shock. He looked inspired as he looked at Payne with an admiring look.

However, Gu Yuan was rather embarrassed. He said softly, “Sect Master, the expert isn’t here. He can’t hear what you say!”

“Nonsense!” Payne scoffed. He scolded Gu Yuan loudly, “I said every word with sincerity. Why would I say it for the expert to hear? Your thinking is too shallow! You can’t keep thinking this way! And how do you know that the expert can’t hear me?”

Gu Yuan no longer wanted to talk.

The three of them walked up the hill slowly. The path was narrow and zigzagged. It looked ordinary.

The three of them walked on the path anxiously. Even though the path was ordinary, they found it more difficult than climbing a tall mountain.

When facing a bigshot like him, the more ordinary things seemed, the more pressure one felt!

“Oh, right. Grandpa, Sect Master, I haven’t been able to tell you the big news that happened when the two of you were recovering from the Natural Tribulation,” Gu Changqing said suddenly. He had a hint of fear in his tone.

Gu Yuan asked curiously, “What is it?”

Gu Changqing said seriously, “Before the two of you came, a female Immortal came down from the Immortal Land.”

“What?” Payne’s face sunk. “Who is she?”

“I don’t know, but this woman’s easy to recognize. She has red hair and red eyes, and she was also dressed in a red dress. After coming to the Immortal Realm, she even helped thirty-eight cultivators Immortalize!” Gu Changqing’s tone was extremely complicated.

The 38 cultivators got so lucky!

When their lifespans almost came to the end, the road between here and the Immortal Land was reopened. And when they were about to Immortalize, a process that could possibly kill them, they bumped into a bigshot who helped them Immortalize!

They were the luckiest!

Red hair and red eyes?

Gasp...

Gu Yuan and Payne gasped at the same time. Their scalps were itching. They looked shocked.

“It must be her!” Payne gulped. “She actually came down? Could she be looking for the expert?”

Gu Yuan asked hastily, “And then?”

“And then her Natural Tribulation happened...” Gu Changqing’s pupils were slightly dilated. His voice trembled as he said in fear, “The Natural Tribulation was extremely scary! The lightning was red! Even a tiny hint of its current made me go so numb that I couldn’t even move!”

“That wasn’t the Natural Tribulation, that was the Natural Punishment!” Payne said as he looked up at the sky in terror. His face was tense as if the sky was extremely terrifying.

He took a deep breath and said with a soft, trembling voice, “That was the fifth most powerful and destructive Natural Tribulation!”

Gasp...

Gu Changqing and Gu Yuan’s hearts thumped loudly. It sounded very terrifying!

Payne said with a heavy voice, “This type of Natural Tribulation is extremely scary, even back in ancient times. I’ve only read about it from an ancient script. Back then, whenever a tribulation like this happened, it was very unlikely for one to be able to survive it!”

And that was back in ancient times where all the bigshots existed! Even they described the Natural Tribulation so cruelly. Who would be able to survive it now?

Gu Changqing could not help saying, “What you mean is that, the woman....”

“It’s very likely that she died.” Payne shook his head and sighed. “She’s actually a phoenix. To be fair, she indirectly saved our lives. How unfortunate...”

Gu Yuan said with a heavy voice, “Heaven is heartless!”

Payne continued, “She challenged Heaven! You have to admit that the phoenix bloodline is a riskier and more daring family in the Immortal Land.”

Gu Yuan sighed. “Power makes one feel numb!”

As they spoke, some mist appeared amongst the green trees ahead. With a closer look, the four-part architecture appeared vaguely in sight.

The three of them jumped.

They had...arrived at the expert’s residence!
