The Demon God Sister spent her days busy in the Changbai Mountains, searching for a truly hidden place.
She knew many things that others didn't.
Because she had existed for too long, her life was immensely protracted.
If she didn't possess those mysterious methods, her appearance would undoubtedly make her the target of countless people's pursuit, a god-like figure.
Casting golden statues and burning incense for worship would be commonplace.
Becoming a god through the power of faith wasn't a legend, but a fact.
The surrounding environment held nothing special for Lin Fan; everything seemed ordinary. However, someone knowledgeable about such matters would definitely say… this place has existed for a long time, and if excavated, it would certainly become a key protected site.
The Demon God Sister was cautious, not daring to be careless.
They crossed a stone bridge. White, milky water flowed beneath, seemingly calm, yet concealing endless danger.
"Even with my strength, even if I pass the first trial, a slight misstep could lead to utter destruction." The Demon God Sister held this place in awe, surprised to have discovered such a place.
She hadn't known that such a place existed in the Changbai Mountains.
She had always felt a certain pull, a treasure-hunting ability similar to a divining rod, able to sense where the precious Qi of heaven and earth converged. Of course, this was incredibly difficult; some experts could obscure destiny, making it impossible to start. One could only unravel the threads, search slowly, and discover the ultimate truth.
The Demon God Sister stayed close behind Lin Fan, seeking to avoid danger.
Unexpectedly, no danger appeared.
As they walked deeper, they came upon a place that was completely out of sync with the areas they had passed – a paradise on earth. The surrounding walls were covered with flowers, and upon closer inspection, there was a jade-white bed and various strange and unusual objects.
Two giant skeletons lay on the jade bed, one as white as snow, the other as golden as the blazing sun.
Their radiance was dazzling, clearly extraordinary.
The Demon God Sister's eyes shone with brilliant light. Treasures, they were all treasures!
"I guess these two must have been a very loving couple," Lin Fan said slowly, standing before the jade bed.
"How do you know?" the Demon God Sister asked.
Lin Fan pointed to the two skeletons on the jade bed. "Look at them, even in death, they're holding hands. If it were me, I would hold my wife's hand and leave with her, so we wouldn't be separated."
The Demon God Sister said, "Maybe you're right, but they're already dead. And from what I can see, these two skeletons have been dead for a long time, at least several thousand years, possibly even ten thousand. Although their flesh has decayed, their bones haven't, and they still shine brilliantly, with divine energy flowing. They're definitely not ordinary. These two skeletons are incredibly valuable and extremely useful. If we could extract their original essence, our cultivation could soar."
"I was able to come here largely thanks to you. One for each of us. The man is yours, the woman is mine. It just fits the principle of yin and yang harmony."
After speaking…
The Demon God Sister prepared to collect the skeletons.
"Don't do that," Lin Fan stopped her.
The Demon God Sister looked at Lin Fan in surprise. "What do you mean?"
She had a bad feeling. Could it be that she had trusted him too much, and now that he saw good things, he wanted to keep them all for himself? Thinking of this, the Demon God Sister felt uneasy. With her strength, she was no match for Lin Fan.
If she fought, she would definitely be killed.
Lin Fan said enviously, "To be so loving in life and buried together in death shows how much they loved each other. You and I are outsiders. We shouldn't disturb their eternal rest. Let them live here in peace."
"I can feel them, they're still here, and they're thanking us."
"If my wife and I were to rest here, I wouldn't want anyone to disturb us either."
When the Demon God Sister heard these words, her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost.
"Are you joking with me?"
Lin Fan's expression was serious. "No, I'm serious. Don't disturb them. This is a serious matter. I wouldn't joke about something like this. I find such behavior abhorrent."
"You…" The Demon God Sister was dumbfounded, looking at Lin Fan with disbelief.
Honestly, she had never met anyone like him.
"Let's go."
Lin Fan pulled the Demon God Sister towards the exit.
"Are you serious?" The Demon God Sister stubbornly resisted leaving. Either she was crazy or Lin Fan was. "We came here after so much hardship to find treasures, and now the treasures are right in front of us, and you say we should just leave? Have you considered my feelings?"
Lin Fan looked into the Demon God Sister's eyes and said, "Love is sacred and inviolable. This loving couple has found their final resting place here. We shouldn't disturb them. There are many treasures, but we shouldn't disturb them."
"Let's go."
He used a bit more strength in his arm, and the Demon God Sister couldn't resist.
"Wah! You're going to make me cry! Is this necessary? We finally found a treasure trove, and you say we should just leave? Have you considered my feelings at all?" The Demon God Sister wailed, her heart breaking.
Lin Fan said, "I have considered your feelings, but all of this is our fault. We shouldn't disturb this place that has touched me so deeply. If my wife were here, she would say the same thing to you."
"But I don't know your wife!" the Demon God Sister roared in frustration.
There was a generation gap; she didn't understand what he was talking about.
If heaven gave her another chance, she would definitely make Lin Fan wait for her outside and never let him come in.
Lin Fan smiled. "I'll introduce you when we get back."
The Demon God Sister looked back at the treasures inside with reluctance. That was the only discovery she had made in such a long time.
Outside, Lin Fan reinstalled the stone door and patted the Demon God Sister's shoulder.
"Don't you feel much better now?"
The Demon God Sister rolled her eyes.
Much better?
Don't tease me.
You've made me feel like I'm about to explode.
Fortunately, she couldn't beat him, otherwise, she would definitely fight him to the death.
She could swear to heaven that those two skeletons were definitely treasures, and whether there were other treasures hidden around was still unknown, but based on her speculation, there wouldn't be few.
At this moment, the Demon God Sister felt as if all her strength had been drained.
Everything felt listless.
"I know you're happy because you did a good thing." Lin Fan was in a good mood. He had never thought he would encounter such a thing, and he had a good impression of the Demon God Sister.
Although the Demon God Sister seemed reluctant, she listened to his advice and followed him out, which meant she agreed.
He liked to be friends with kind-hearted people.
The Demon God Sister couldn't retort.
She now understood why her sister had never succeeded. With this… who could subdue him?
She couldn't help but be curious about Lin Fan's wife. What kind of person could tolerate such a temperament? If he were her man, she would have chopped him into seventeen or eighteen pieces with a cleaver at night.
"Wait…"
Just as they were about to leave, a voice came from behind.
When the Demon God Sister saw the figure that emerged, the light in her eyes erupted like two dazzling stars.
"Ginseng… a walking, talking ginseng."
Lin Fan was surprised. "Wow, a talking ginseng."
"Take me with you," the ginseng said.
The Demon God Sister reached out her hand. "I'll take you with me."
The ginseng shook its head. "No, I want to go with him."
Hearing this, the Demon God Sister felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Why?
Was she not beautiful enough?
"Why?" The Demon God Sister was very unconvinced. She forced herself to be patient. I am a being capable of destroying a city, don't provoke me.
The ginseng took short, quick steps with its little legs, which had no toes and looked like two radish roots, and quickly arrived in front of Lin Fan, jumping onto his shoulder.
"You have passed my master's test. She said that whoever could withstand the test, I should go with them. From now on, I will follow you."
Lin Fan asked, "Where is your master?"
The ginseng frowned, feeling that this person seemed a bit unintelligent. "Didn't you see them? Those two corpses are my masters."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan's expression turned serious and mournful. He said softly:
"My condolences!"
"Since you have no home, come with me. Although my place isn't big, there's no problem with letting you stay."
The Demon God Sister could smell the invigorating aura emanating from the ginseng. It was definitely a great tonic. If she could swallow it, she might ascend on the spot.
The ginseng was quite helpless. It had stayed there for a very, very long time, never venturing out because it had very poor self-preservation abilities. Its misfortune stemmed from the fact that it was a great tonic, and everyone coveted it. Going outside was a dead end.
Its masters were like that.
They hoped to find a reliable person for it.
They had told it that if anyone wasn't greedy for their remains, that person would be trustworthy.
"Who are they?" the Demon God Sister asked. Until now, she didn't know who the two skeletons were; they were shrouded in mystery.
The ginseng said, "They are my masters, the Heavenly Maiden and the Golden Boy, the ones who brought boundless vitality to this place. And I am the Ginseng King, the Ginseng God, the ancestor of ginseng. You can call me Ginseng Bro."
"I'll swallow you in one bite." The Demon God Sister made a gesture as if she were going to swallow it.
The ginseng was so scared that it huddled closer to Lin Fan's head. "I'm timid, she's scaring me."
Lin Fan laughed. "She's a kind-hearted person, just teasing you."
The Demon God Sister pondered, as if she had heard this mythical legend before.
The Changbai Mountains were once a dangerous place, and the people living there led extremely difficult lives.
Later, two people descended from the heavens and appeared there.
They carried some treasures.
It seemed they were guarding these treasures, but seeing the suffering and frail health of the people living in the Changbai Mountains, they were moved by compassion. Without permission, they used the treasures to bless those humans.
Among the blessings bestowed was ginseng.
From then on, ginseng appeared in this world.
The Demon God Sister suspected that these two were also from a Starry Sky Clan, but due to the passage of time, it was impossible to determine which clan had sent them; it was a top secret.
As she thought about it… it seemed to connect with the current situation.
It seemed that many treasures had once been stored on this planet.
This was why the Starry Sky Clans were so crazy about coming here to search for treasures.
But the only thing she couldn't accept was…
Why wouldn't this ginseng follow her?
She hadn't gained anything.
Instead, Lin Fan had made a killing.
The gap between people was so vast.
The ginseng stealthily looked at the Demon God Sister.
It had only one thought in its mind.
What an evil aura!
This young man was much more reliable, full of a sense of security. Just one look and you could tell he was a good person.
