Before we knew it, it was already dawn, and thin blue mist lingered on the mountains in the distance. The sun was bright and gentle, and it poured through the window screen like water and poured into every corner of the room. On the branches, the birds became noisy.

"Sister Xueyan, where is Sister Liu'er's medicine?" Xiaoqi ran in. Xueyan opened her eyes when she heard the sound. Xiaoqi saw Xueyan still sitting on the chair, looking tired. "Sister Xueyan, what's wrong with you?"

"I fell asleep last night and forgot." Xueyan turned to Xiaoqi and said, "I will go down the mountain later and go to Yao Town. I want to ask you to take care of your sister Liu."

"Sister, what are you doing in Yao Town?" Yang Liu walked in after hearing this.

"You are very injured. Although you are cured quickly, you still need a few medicinal herbs to condition them." Xueyan said as she walked down the bamboo ladder to the first floor of the bamboo building.

"Sister, there have been many strange things in Yao Town recently. They all say that they were the works of the demons on Bihua Mountain. It seems that they have also hired Taoist priests to do rituals to subdue demons and exorcisms. You should not go down the mountain, so don't encounter any dangers." Yang Liu followed and said worriedly.

"You still have the remaining poison of the snake demon in your body. It's not a problem now, but in the long run, invading the internal organs will endanger your life." Xueyan handed two plates of pastries to Yang Liu, "Sister goes up first, I'll bring the medicine here."

"Now the three realms are in turmoil. The little demons all say that the immortals from the heavenly realm have come to the human world, and the three realms must be in chaos again. Although you were an immortal in the heavenly realm, you are a demon body after all, so you should be careful. Do you know?" Yang Liu did not leave, and watched Xue Yan pour the medicine out of the warm medicine jar and continued to persuade.

Xueyan looked up at Yang Liu and nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, sister, I will pay attention."

Yang Liu was still very worried and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xueyan. "You can rest assured to recover from your injuries, I am very responsible." Seeing that she knew what she wanted to say, Yang Liu insisted, she had to nod and promise. "Okay, then be careful."

Yang Liu came up with the pastry, and Xiaoqi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pastry and said to Xueyan who was following him naughtyly. "Sister Xueyan, when will I take me down the mountain to take a walk? I also want to see what the humans at the foot of the mountain are doing? Do they really have everything in their market?"

"If you are not so playful and willing to put some thoughts on magic, I will take you down the mountain." Xueyan smiled and pushed the snacks into front of this naughty person, giving him conditions.

"I don't like practicing magic, it's so boring." Xiaoqi pouted unhappily and buried her head in the pastry. "It's better to play with everyone if you have that time."

"You, I really can't do anything to you." Xueyan put the soup on the table. "Liu'er, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Well, you go early and come back soon." Yang Liu nodded, but was still worried. She got up and walked to her side to see her off.

Xueyan picked up the Poxue Sword hanging on the wall, left Feixue Pavilion, and walked down the mountain. Yang Liu stood at the door and did not forget to give loud instructions. "Be careful and come back early!"

Although Bihua Mountain has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, it is towering and steep and towering into the clouds. Some nearby residents spread the stories of monsters and monsters in the mountains to make them hideous and terrifying, and some adults use this to scare disobedient children. Therefore, the residents living nearby stay away from Bihua Mountain and refuse to get involved. At most, they are active at the foot of the mountain. Few people will break into the deep mountains.

Bihua Mountain has outstanding people and beautiful places. Yao Town at the foot of the mountain is naturally a wealthy place. Although it is just a small town, it is a must-pass road to the northwest border to the capital Jizhou, and it gathers all over the world's business and tourism.

Xueyan went down the mountain along the road and came to the town. The town was bustling and bustling in the center, with hawking sounds from the streets and alleys one after another. People's faces were filled with joy, but Xueyan had no time to nostalgia for the noisy crowd. She took two steps at a time and headed straight to the medicine shop.

"Boss, follow this prescription to get the medicine." Xueyan walked into an inconspicuous medicine shop on the corner of the street. The store was dim and the air was filled with a strong smell of herbs. Xueyan handed the prescription in her hand to an elderly old man.

The old man put down his work, walked to the medicine cabinet and faced the prescription, wrapped the herbs on the list one by one in paper. At this time, the streets were extremely noisy and the crowds became boiling.

"My child, my child..." A woman's voice came from the street, with despair in horror.

Xueyan heard the sound and looked out the window. She had a demonic aura. She hurriedly walked out of the medicine shop to find out what happened. A woman was lying on the ground, crying heart-wrenchingly.

The people passing by looked around and wanted to know what was going on here. Xueyan walked up to the woman and asked in a low voice. "What happened?"

The woman raised her head suddenly and saw Xueyan wearing a sword around her waist. She probably had some skill on her body. She rushed to her feet like she grabbed a life-saving straw and pulled her sleeves.

"Please, please save my child, please..." The woman cried heartbrokenly while stumbled and bowed.

Xueyan asked anxiously: "What's wrong with your child?"

The woman struggled to get up and pointed to the other end of the street. "They ran over there, and a woman in red snatched my child."

"I understand." Xueyan did not dare to neglect and followed her fingers. At this time, the old man in the medicine shop chased him out with the medicine. Xueyan had already disappeared from the crowd.

Far away from the bustling street market, people gradually became sparse, and in the distance were large fertile fields and several abandoned houses. Several farmers leaned over to work in the fields in the distance, everything was very calm and nothing unusual.

He had already chased the suburbs and did not find any suspicious person. Xueyan calmed down. The demonic aura was nearby, but where was it? Xueyan walked forward based on her feelings.

In a room not far away, the sound of a child sobbing was faintly heard. Xueyan walked quickly, and the crying was clearly distinguishable. The air was filled with the smell of demons. Xueyan waved her hand and broke into the door.

"Yao Xiu'e, we're meeting again." Xueyan was not surprised and greeted her lukewarmly.

In front of me, a woman with red clothes had a somewhat similar facial features and eyebrows to Xueyan. She was as charming as Xueyan, but she was a little more charming than Xueyan. Her long black hair was tied up by a gorgeous golden hairpin. She was elegant and dignified, and she was so beautiful that she couldn't stop. Her every frown and smile was breathtaking. Such a look must be one of the best in the entire demon world.

She sat cross-legged with her legs, her lips moved slightly, and was meditating. There were two human children sitting beside her, both at the age of five or six. When she saw Xueyan walking in, one of them was still sobbing, and she must have been frightened, while the other child was at ease, staring at Xueyan blankly without saying a word.

The beautiful woman named Yao Xiu'e was not surprised to see Xueyan walk in. She raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered. She stood up and walked slowly to Xueyan, charming, every move, and extremely tempting.

She is a snake demon entrenched on the north peak of Bihua Mountain. She was originally a monster, and she used the spiritual energy of Bihua Mountain to practice. She has always been a good person who never violated the rivers. However, this snake demon did not follow the right path in his practice and wanted to take a shortcut. He learned that the grandma of Qianhu had refined the charming bead, and this charming bead was the thousand-year cultivation condensed by the fox demon. If he got it, the demonic magic would definitely be a thousand miles a day. Yao Xiu'e had evil thoughts and wanted to take it for herself. She had not succeeded in robbing it several times. Now she had already held a grudge and wanted to tear Xueyan and others to pieces.

"I didn't go to find you, you came here by yourself." The woman in red smiled disdainfully, and her slim figure was as soft as boneless.

The snake demon is spiritual and is the easiest to cultivate and achieve enlightenment among all monsters. Yao Xiu'e's Taoist practice is already very high. The little demons on Bihua Mountain are afraid of her, but they are helpless to her. Only Xueyan is evenly matched with her. Therefore, the grandma Qianhu entrusted Xiaoqi to Xueyan so that she would not die of the snake demon's hand.

"I knew that the demon that dared to cause trouble in Yao Town must be you." Xueyan said lightly. "You no longer practice with peace of mind in Beifeng. What should you do to steal human children?"

"It's not your turn to ask about my business." Yao Xiu'e chuckled. She knew that no one of them could do anything to anyone.

"I will never allow you to do whatever you want in human places." Although Xueyan has become a monster now, she has practiced in the heavens and has a good nature. How could she tolerate a monster and do whatever she wants under her nose and hurt the people.

"Hmph, what can you do to me just by making a few of you little monsters?" Yao Xiu'e smiled contemptuously. "Will the willow tree demon still survive if he got caught in my snake venom? If someone hadn't saved her halfway, she would have been my snack."

"Is that so? I think you're hurt too." Xueyan was not willing to be outdone. Yao Xiu'e's face looked haggard, and it was obvious that she was also seriously injured.

"I'm very hurt." Yao Xiu'e raised her head suddenly, curled her smile, and looked very impatient. "If you hand over the Meizhu, I don't have to use these children's essence to heal her injuries."

"I have said a long time ago that hasteness is not achieved. Healing and practicing are the same. You can only proceed step by step, and there is no shortcut. If you do evil everywhere, you will not only not be able to ascend to become an immortal, but you will also suffer from evil consequences and fall into the path of demons." Xueyan retorted loudly. "I have always admired your wish for fulfilling your success. Only you have the same thoughts as me in the entire Bihua Mountain, but I didn't expect that you would have turned your mind and do these things that are harmful to the heavens and the world."

When the snake demon heard this, he widened his eyes, interrupted Xueyan's words, and asked fiercely: "You don't have to worry about these things. Tell me quickly, where is Meizhu now?"

Xueyan did not answer, but said lightly: "I want to take these two children away, so you can do it yourself!" As she said that, she rushed over and took the hands of the two children, then walked out the door.

"Stop." The woman in red cried out without a smile and shouted sternly. "Did you forget your identity? Even if you secretly learn the immortal magic somewhere, you are just a sad snow demon. You will never be able to get rid of your identity like me. How can you pretend to be noble!"

For three thousand years, Xueyan has heard such ridicule. A demon who knows spiritual skills has no place to live in the heaven and the demon world. After Xueyan was demoted, she has been wandering around the world and accidentally saved Yang Liu in the hands of Yao Xiu'e. Grandma Qianhu appreciated Xueyan's character and medical skills, so she left Xueyan to fall on Bihua Mountain. Fortunately, after getting along for a long time, the monsters here like Xueyan very much. They know Xueyan's kind-heartedness, and they don't mind that she was an immortal in the heaven, nor do they mind that she practiced spiritual skills. Later, after Grandma Qianhu passed away, Xueyan was left on Bihua Mountain to protect them from being oppressed by Yao Xiu'e, so Xueyan naturally assumed the responsibility of protecting the peace of Bihua Mountain.

Seeing that Xueyan did not stop, Yao Xiu'e continued, "You are not pitiful enough for humans. Now you are here to steal the prey from my mouth. You are overestimating your ability!" As she said that, she threw her long sleeves over. Xueyan hid sideways and dodged.

"You have to go the right path to practice and become an immortal. You do evil everywhere, and it is hard to tolerate the world. Everyone can kill him." Xueyan said as she quickly pushed the two children aside and flew to the open space outside the door. The Po Xue sword was unsheathed in the air, and the silver-white light flowed in a blur. Xueyan waved the sword to stab Yao Xiu'e's eyebrows. Yao Xiu'e's movement was a little stiff, obviously very injured. The sword passed by her ears. Xueyan continued to attack. Yao Xiu'e took a few steps back, turned her light body a circle, and her fiery red sleeves rolled over like a fire snake. Xueyan also turned around quickly. When the sleeves were about to wrap around her waist, she jumped up in the air again, pulling out thousands of sword flowers in the air toward Yao Xiu'e. Yao Xiu'e was slightly stunned and quickly dodged.

The sword in Xueyan's hand was as fast as a sword. Yao Xiu'e's injuries were not healed and she was unable to resist, but she refused to give in. Her face showed even more anger. She clenched her fists and secretly condensed the demonic power. The demonic power condensed into a fiery red lightsword in her hand. "If you want to survive, just hand over the Meizhu obediently to stop me from practicing. I will kill you sooner or later?"

"As long as I am alive, you can't imagine seeing Meizhu." Xueyan sneered. She promised Qianhu Grandma to protect Meizhu well. How could she easily hand it over to her? But Xueyan didn't understand why she was so eager to become an immortal. With her ability, she had already dominated the side of Bihua Mountain. The little demons here were afraid of her, but she was not satisfied and insisted on snatching Meizhu and ascending to become an immortal.

"You are looking for death." With a loud shout, Yao Xiu'e waved the sword in her hand. The red sword blade was instantly shaken into thousands of pieces, like a rain of swords, thrusting towards Xueyan. She clearly felt the approaching heat and there was no time to dodge.

Xueyan became wise in a hurry, flew back a few steps, raised her hand, and the Po Xue Sword floated in front of her palm in the air. The fiery red sword rain was imminent, and Xueyan's palm quickly drew circles in front of her. The Po Xue Sword rotated rapidly with Xueyan's force, shaking out thousands of sword flowers. The silver light blew out. With a move of "Qianshan Muxue", the sharp sword energy mixed with spiritual power, forming a bright halo. The repeated murderous intent that came was self-defeating, turning into pieces of snowflakes scattered all over the ground.

Yao Xiu'e was shocked and saw that Xueyan's spiritual skills had improved a lot. She tried her best to avoid it easily. She also knew that she was injured and was at a disadvantage. It was impossible to win Xueyan.

"I don't want to take advantage of others' danger. If you let these two children go and promise not to cause trouble in the town in the future, I will let you go." Xueyan saw that she was powerless to do evil again and did not want to kill them all, so she made a loud statement.

Yao Xiu'e has always been used to bullying the weak, so she is naturally more determined than the sky. She is not willing to give in to Xueyan. In a frustration, she suddenly waved her sleeves and rushed towards the two children. Xueyan strode a step and rushed forward to stop her.

As soon as the long sleeves were wrapped around the two children, they were torn apart by the silver-white sharp blade. Yao Xiu'e misstepped and waved her hand, and slapped Xueyan on the right shoulder with a palm. Xueyan staggered back a few steps, blocked her chest with a sword, protecting the two children.

On Bihua Mountain, Xueyan and Yao Xiu'e insisted on their beliefs and refused to give in to each other. Xueyan advocated peaceful coexistence, while Yao Xiu'e liked to bully the weak with the strong. Their conduct was equal, and they were evenly matched and had no choice but to face each other, so they kept being at peace.

Yao Xiu'e knew that she would not get any advantage if she wasted. A sneer appeared on her face with heavy makeup. "You little demons, wait for me to see. I will get the beauty beads sooner or later and get rid of you, hahahaha." As she said that, she shook her sleeves and straightened her figure. She was wearing a red dress and was particularly beautiful. She raised her head high, looked at Xueyan fiercely, turned around and laughed and left.

A severe pain came from his right shoulder, and Xueyan's sword tip supported his body. "Damn it, you have to steal the steps in the martial arts competition."

In order to protect the two children, Xueyan really got a pistachio, but fortunately the injury was not serious.

"Big sister, do you want to eat us too?" asked the tender child voice carefully.

Xueyan turned around and one of the little boys looked at Xueyan timidly, with tears on her face still hanging on her terrified face, which was really pitiful.

"Don't be afraid, my sister won't hurt you." Xueyan went into the scabbard, squatted down and stroked his head, and comforted gently: "Sister will take you home now, okay?"

Another little boy reached out and explored and walked over to touch Xueyan's face. It turned out that he couldn't see it. "Big sister, thank you!" The little boy smiled, innocent, and his laughter was as crisp and moving as a silver bell.

Such a young child was blind. Xueyan looked at him and felt sour. She raised her hand and rubbed the blind child's head, and asked softly: What's your name?"

"My name is Xu Chen, sister, just call me Xiao Chen." The little boy took Xueyan's hand.

Xueyan stood up and led her two children to the market in the center of Yao Town.

The woman was still sitting at the door of the medicine shop, curled up on the stone steps outside the door, choking, crying to the point of tears. When the little boy saw her, he shouted, "Mom!" and ran and jumped into the woman's arms and acted coquettishly. The woman hugged the child tightly, anxiously checked whether he was injured, stroked his head, and cried with joy, kissed and hugged, and the joy of reunion after the disaster was beyond words.

Seeing Xueyan coming out of the medicine shop, the woman wiped her tears and came over to thank her: "Girl, thank you so much. Our whole family will never forget your kindness."

"It's okay, this is what I should do." Seeing the woman bow and thank him, Xueyan quickly helped her up.

"The girl looked at her. She was from another place, right?"

"That's right." Xueyan nodded. She had lived in the mountains for a long time and did not come to the town often, so she naturally hadn't seen too many people.

"After this time, a man-eating monster came to the town. The monster was elusive and had a great ability. Now several families have died. The Taoist priest invited didn't know what kind of monster it was, which made us ordinary people panic and dared not go out as soon as it was dark." The woman stood up and complained with a frown. "The monsters before were mostly just coming out to work at night, but now they ran out in broad daylight. What should I do?"

"How could this happen?" In Xueyan's impression, Yao Town has always been rich and peaceful. Although Yao Xiu'e has been coveting Meizhu for a long time, she rarely leaves Beifeng. This time she was afraid that she had come to the town to heal her wounds, but she should have been injured yesterday.

"Miss is such a good skill. She can save my child from the hands of that monster." The woman looked at Xueyan, with a little puzzled look in her eyes. How did such a weak woman save her child from the hands of the terrifying monster?

Xueyan was just determined to save people, and didn't think too much about it. "I didn't fight with her, but I just happened to see her injured and took the opportunity to save the child." Xueyan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her and smiled awkwardly. "Do you know where she came from?"

The woman withdrew her confusing gaze and lowered her voice and said, "Someone once saw many fireballs rushing towards the sky on Bihua Mountain at night. The scene was very spectacular. The ancestors all said that there were fox fairies on Bihua Mountain, which were quite spiritual. It was said by word of mouth that everyone was very respectful of this mountain. People living in the town did not dare to go up the mountain rashly, for fear of rushing them and causing unnecessary trouble. They have always been peaceful, but recently they have offended them and will run out to eat people."

Upon hearing this, Xueyan defended loudly: "That was not done by the fox fairy!"

For the past two thousand years, Xueyan has been living with the Grandma Qianhu and the others. Although she is a monster, she has devoted herself to practicing and never went down the mountain to harm people. Only the snake demon on the North Peak is restless and always wants to use some means to improve her magic. Cultivation is to do good and accumulate virtue and practice hard. Although this is difficult and slow, this is the right way after all. If you walk some side paths, even though the magic can be a thousand miles a day, you will eventually fall into the magic path.

When the woman saw Xueyan's reaction so much, she was slightly stunned, silent, waiting for Xueyan's following.

"I don't know the whole story, but this matter has nothing to do with Bihua Mountain." Xueyan said firmly.

"The girl saw it too. The banshee just now snatched my child."

Xueyan sighed secretly, the two children were still standing beside her. She was afraid that she would scare the two children, so she approached the woman's ear and lowered her voice. "It was a snake demon that snatched your child away."

The woman was startled, her face changed color instantly, and she asked tremblingly: "Snake Demon? Is she powerful? The town has hired a Taoist priest with high magic power. I wonder if she can subdue her."

Xueyan shook her head. "I don't know either."

"What should I do?" the woman murmured to herself with a frown. "Now everyone in the town is in danger. If she can't surrender her, how can we ordinary people have a way out!"

As a demon, Xueyan could not stay in the town for a long time. She could not interfere in the matter in this world. She had to sigh and said, "It's getting late, so I'll take my children home quickly. Now the world is chaotic, so be cautious."

The woman came to her senses, responded dullly, and took the child to go home in a hurry.

Yao Xiu'e has been practicing Taoism for thousands of years, and it is another shortcut to take it all the way. It is not so easy to surrender her. Xueyan has fought with her for more than two thousand years. Didn't she still do evil on Bihua Mountain? Now even the grandmother Qianhu has passed away. If she gets the charming bead, that's all.

The woman said just now, "There are many fireballs flying towards the sky." It is true that fox fairy refining elixirs, but the little demons on Bihua Mountain only hope to live quietly in the forest and did not want to cause trouble. Xueyan is even more dedicated to practicing and does not want to get involved in any unnecessary struggles. Now things in the world are involved in Bihua Mountain, and the three realms are so uneasy. Thinking of this, Xueyan couldn't help but sigh and worry about the future.
