Chapter 249 Revisiting the old place

I wandered northwards from the age of eight, and now I'm... well... anyway, I'm quite old.

She wasn't going to choose to honestly leave on foot just to hide the secret that she could still cultivate. She flew higher on her sword, betting that no one would see her.

When Liang Qi saw Wen Li flying in the air, his eyes twitched, quite surprised.

Then he realized that everyone around him had fainted on the ground.

"Wenli."

When Wen Li heard her name called, her anxious heart immediately relaxed. Finally, someone knew that she was Wen Li.

"You've recovered, and you also know the cause of this rabbit disease?"

"Didn't you cure the rabbit disease a long time ago? Didn't you dissipate all your cultivation and your soul vanish? Is there something wrong with my memory?"

Wen Li was a little disappointed, but it was good that she could recognize her.

"But how can you still fly on a sword?"

"What, are you jealous?"

As she spoke, Wen Li performed an aerial sword somersault for her.

After landing, she tidied her hair and raised an eyebrow at Liang Qi with great pride.

Liang Qi still had long, curly hair braided into long plaits that cascaded down her back. Her eye-catching crescent-shaped earrings and jade-encrusted headband suggested that time had been kind to her. Her deep, sculpted features made one exclaim that she was a handsome young man.

Wen Li nitpicked, her gaze landing on the fine lines at the corners of her eyes. She said gloatingly, "Oh dear, I'm getting old!"

"He was already older than me, but now he looks like he's from a higher generation."

Liang Qi said angrily, "Heaven is so unfair! No, it's so biased! Why can you still cultivate?"

Feeling like she was now the darling of Heaven, Wen Li straightened her back and held her chin high.

"So, how about it? Want to come up and give it a try?"

"I don't have time for that. I am now the ruler of a country, and there are many political matters to attend to... Alas!"

Wen Li didn't have time to listen to her nonsense; she was the number one in the world right now.

The ruler of a small kingdom is not worth my attention; I'll just take him away and fly away.

Liang Qi sighed briefly, then, after taking off, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Flying dozens of meters on my sword, I looked down at the entire landscape of Danli and realized how much Danli had changed over the years.

She really missed the days when she flew on a sword.

“I didn’t think much of flying on a sword before, but now I realize what a hard life Pei Kuang has been living.”

"I know what you came to ask me."

Liang Qi turned his head and said directly, "However, I don't know much more than you do."

"Back when I rebelled, I started using living people to sacrifice for Danli in order to seek a chance of survival. Most of them were ordinary people without spiritual power, and most of them came from the northern desert."

Mobei?

"They're just ordinary people without spiritual power, and they're in the northern desert. It's fine for a year or two, but if it goes on for too long, they'll be discovered sooner or later. Why didn't Pei Kuang cause any trouble?"

During those years, Wen Li was preoccupied with escapism and knew nothing about what was happening outside.

Liang Qi smiled bitterly, "That old guy Xie Wanzhou helped me suppress it and even sent me a lot of spiritual herbs, just to ask me to continue refining pills for him. Later, Pei Kuang vaguely sensed it and was sent to the front line again. In those years, their Northern Desert Iron Cavalry was almost wiped out."

Then you suddenly appeared and seized the Heavenly Realm. I even had to refine poison for you. We lived a peaceful life, and our alchemy furnace in Danli never stopped.

I thought life would continue like this, but then the rabbit disease struck again, and that shameless Wen Zhi'en actually demanded that I develop a medicine.

Wen Li asked, "So you really developed that medicine?"

"No, the medicine was given to me by an ordinary person in Moon Half City. Later I found out that he was Pei Kuang's man. The medicine can only temporarily suppress the rabbit disease."

I have a premonition that the Three Realms will once again descend into chaos. I fear this calamity will endanger Danli, which is why I had already planned to sacrifice 100,000 living people to completely isolate Danli.

"Fortunately, His Majesty is indeed a savior born for the common people."

Liang Qi's tone was filled with relief, "Do you know what His Majesty said to me? He said that of the Heavenly Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Mortal Realm, only the Mortal Realm will remain in the end, and you are all mortals, and can only be mortals."

“I completely trust His Majesty. He said he would give Danli peace, and he will. Even if I don’t know what he’s going to do, I will obey his orders. That’s all I know. As for Tu Ji and where he is after his ascension, I don’t know.”

"Wen Li, you should go find Pei Kuang. He knows more than I do."

Wen Li squatted down and touched the sword at her feet, then plopped down on her bottom.

"Can't I just come here to visit old friends?"

"I have a long life ahead of me, and I have plenty of time to do whatever I want."

Wen Li had long anticipated that Liang Qi didn't know much, and she wanted to visit her old friend.

"Since you can't fly on a sword, you wouldn't know. I can go anywhere more easily than you, the ruler of a country."

Liang Qi kicked her, "Oh, is that so? Then why haven't you grown taller? Did you think sitting down would prevent me from looking down on you?"

"Pshaw, this can't hurt me now. I feel like everything about me is perfect."

Liang Qi sighed for a while, then hurried downstairs, saying, "If those people down there can't find me, they'll go crazy."

"Let them go crazy then."

Wen Li couldn't understand why Liang Qi was so obsessed with power.

With great power comes great responsibility, and Wen Li is now trying to avoid it as much as possible.

"Aren't you tired of managing so many people?"

Liang Qi laughed, "I like this feeling of controlling my own destiny and the destiny of others. It makes me no longer anxious or timid. I know what my future will be like, and I also know what the future of every person in Danli will be like. All of this is under my control!"

"Wherever I go, I will be respected and commanded by millions. Whatever I say or do will be supported by millions."

Wen Li nodded and sighed, "But doing wrong things can harm millions of people."

"So what, Wen Li? When did you become like this? You used to be so carefree, never considering the consequences of your actions. You were wrong, so be it."

Wen Li asked in confusion, "Was I like this before?"

"Yes. Anyway, I, Liang Tiantian, never regret what I do. Killing my brother, killing the elders, using living people to set up formations, including stepping on you to rise to power, I have never regretted any of them."

Her hands were not clean; they were stained with the blood of many innocent people, but she did not regret it.

Wen Li boasted, "Your hands aren't even a tenth as stained with blood as mine. I remember clearly that when I was the Demon Lord tens of thousands of years ago, I could take tens of thousands of lives with a wave of my hand. As for gods and immortals, it was just a matter of a little more effort."

"Leaving aside the glory of those days, I've killed no shortage of demons and humans in this life. Don't you remember what I was like when I was a child? If someone said a few words, I would take their life."

Compared to me, what's that? I started killing demons when I was eight.

Wen Li portrayed herself as a ruthless and murderous maniac, much to Liang Qi's dismay. "You're even arguing about this, shorty? Why don't you think about eating more rice and growing taller?"

Wen Li ignored Liang Qi's teasing, stood up after a moment of silence, and said loudly, "We just need to keep moving forward. Maybe retribution is just ahead."

They both laughed.

After saying goodbye to Liang Qi, Wen Li also went to sweep the graves of her third uncle and aunt, since she was now their daughter in name only.

After sweeping all of these, they even went to sweep Shen Yannan's grave as well.

I can't help being kind-hearted.

When she arrived in Yunzhong, she went to Guiyue Village. She thought there would be no one there, but to her surprise, there were still quite a few families there.

She made a casual inquiry and learned that most of them were former villagers of Guiyue Village. When Liang Qi stormed into Yueban, they fled back here, along with some refugees who had nowhere else to go.

Time has passed, and she can't recognize any of those people.

Wen Li refused to believe in superstitions and insisted on finding someone she knew.

She actually ran into someone who looked familiar after spending the whole day there.

The woman was covered in blood, yet she was full of vitality. She had several prey tied together with rope in her hands, and she also had firewood on her shoulder. Her eyes were brimming with light.

The vibrant faces contrasted sharply with that lifeless one.

Even though everything was different, and their temperaments were completely different, Wen Li still recognized her at a glance.

is her.

The little girl he saved in his past life before he decided to die, the little girl who remained silent and single-mindedly facing death.

Her gaze aroused her suspicion, and the woman stopped.

"Have we met before?"

Before Wen Li could answer, someone greeted the woman.

"Tao Xi is back! He caught so many this time!"

Tao Xi! Wen Li remembered, so they had met so long ago.

Tao Xi replied with a smile, "Just lucky. How about coming over to my place for a get-together tonight?"

The man replied, "Forget it, your family has raised so many children, it must be tough. Just invite me along next time you go hunting."

After the man left, Tao Xi carefully examined the pretty girl in front of him, feeling that she looked familiar but unable to remember who she resembled.

Logically speaking, someone as beautiful as her shouldn't have forgotten her.

"Ah! You look a bit like... like Sister Wen Li!"

After saying that, she rubbed her head again, unable to remember what Wen Li looked like.

"I'm sorry, my memory has been fading a bit in the last few years. But I was just complimenting you on your beauty. Sister Wen Li is also a beautiful and kind person. Don't be angry if I say you look like her."

Wen Li hugged the sword and laughed loudly, which attracted the attention of several people in the distance who turned around to look at her curiously.

Tao Xi wasn't frightened by her exaggerated laughter. Noticing the tears in the corners of her eyes, she asked with some concern, "What's wrong? What happened? Don't be discouraged, there will definitely be a way. We all have to live on."

Wen Li looked at her, "I just feel that everything is different now."

Then, as if she were a long-lost friend, she asked, "How are you doing?"

Tao Xi nodded, feeling puzzled, and replied, "I am very happy."

After saying that, he added, "You want one too!"

Seeing Wen Li nod, Tao Xi left, turning back every few steps.

Later, Wen Li also learned that Tao Xi and Shi Tou returned to Guiyue Village, got married, and adopted many children who had lost their parents in the chaos of war.

They are very happy.

very nice.
