Chapter 4: The Cousin of the Throne

This is Shi Mei, not her sister.

Shi Mei is a real man, and he was Mo Ran's brother when he started.

The reason for this unlucky name is that the venerable lord of the top of death and life is uneducated.

Shi Mei was originally an orphan who was picked up by His Holiness in the wilderness, and since the child was weak and sickly, His Holiness thought that he would have to give the child a bitchy name, a name that would be good for him.

The child was born with red lips and white teeth, and looked like a little girl who would be loved, so His Holiness racked his brains and gave her a name, Xue Ya.

The more Xue Ya grows up, the more handsome she becomes, with a beautiful and smooth face, her eyebrows and eyes are all charming, and she has a certain flamboyant charm.

It's fine for a village boy to go by the name Xue Ya, but have you ever seen a beautiful woman called "Dog Egg" or "Tie Zhu"?

The brothers felt that it was inappropriate, so they gradually stopped calling her Xue Ya, but they couldn't change the name given by their master, so they half-jokingly called her Sister.

Later on, His Holiness simply waved his hand and said, "Xue Ya, why don't you change your name and call yourself Shi Mei (ignorance)?"

But Shi Mei was good-tempered and looked up at His Holiness to see that he was looking at him with joy and enthusiasm, thinking he had done a great thing. Shi Mei could not bear it, and felt that even if he had been wronged, he could not disgrace His Lordship. So he knelt in gratitude and changed his name from then on.

"Ahem." The black cloak choked a few times before catching its breath and raising its eyes to Mo Ran, "Well Mo Ran what are you doing here"

Through the hazy curtain, those eyes were as soft as spring water and as brilliant as stars, and they plucked straight into Mo Ran's heart.

With just one glance, Fairy Tramper's long-held feelings of tenderness and boyishness are instantly unlocked.

It's Shi Mei.

Can't fault it.

Mo Ran was a hooligan, and in his last life, he played with so many men and women that he was quite surprised that he didn't end up dying of sperm.

But the only person he has ever emptied his heart to like, he has been careful to never dare to touch easily.

During those years, he and Shi Mei had a flirtatious affair, but by the time Shi Mei died, Mo Ran had only held her hand and kissed her on the mouth once by mistake.

Mo Ran thinks he is dirty and Shi Mei is too gentle and pure for him.

This person was already so dear to him in life, let alone in death. He would have been a moonbeam in Fairy Tramper's heart, and as much as he thought of him, he would have been a shovelful of dust, and there would be no trace of him in the grave.

But now, with Shi Mei back in front of him, Mo Ran had to use all his strength to hold back his emotions.

Mo Ran picked the man up and dusted his cloak off, his heart aching to lose flesh.

"If I wasn't here, you'd still be bullied by them. Why don't you fight back when they hit you?"

"I want to make sense first."

"What's the point of reasoning with these people? Where does it hurt?"

"Ahem, Mo Ran, I I'm not in the way."

Mo Ran turned his head and said with a fierce look on his face towards the Daoist priests, "How dare you, people of the top of death and life, make a move?"

" Mo Ran Forget it."

"Don't you want to fight? Come on why don't you fight me?"

The Daoist priests were struck by Mo Ran's palm and knew that he was far superior to them.

Shi Mei sighed repeatedly and advised, " Mo Ran, don't argue, let's be merciful."

Mo Ran looked back at him and her heart ached and her eyes warmed slightly.

Shi Mei was always so kind-hearted that when she died in her last life, she had no resentment and no hatred. He even advised Mo Ran not to hold a grudge against the master who could have saved his life, but stood by and did nothing.

"But they."

"I'm fine here, and I'm fine too. More trouble than it's worth, listen to your senior brother."

"Oh, well, I'll do as you say, I'll do as you say." Mo Ran shook his head and glared at the Daoist priests, "Did you hear my brother plead for you, why don't you get lost and stay here, do you want me to send you away?"

"Yes, yes, yes we're rolling this right here."

Shi Mei said to the dowsers, "Hold on."

The men felt that Shi Mei had just been beaten up by them and felt that he would not let them off easily. Please, Your Mightiness, let us go."

"I told you well, but you did not listen." Shi Mei sighed. Shi Mei sighed and said, "You have taken other people's children away and suffered such a crime, leaving their parents heartbroken.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Your Mightiness, we were wrong, never again, never again."

"From now on, you must be clean and not commit any more misdeeds, do you understand?"

"It is Your Mightiness that teaches us, we are taught, we are taught."

"In that case, please go and apologise to this lady, and then heal her children well."

The matter was settled, and Mo Ran helped Shi Mei onto her horse, while she borrowed another from the stagecoach, and the two of them walked slowly, side by side, back to the sect.

The moonlight shines through the forest and leaves on the forest paths.

As he walks, Mo Ran becomes more and more pleased with himself: he thought he would have to go back to the top of the mountain to see Shi Mei again, but he was surprised to see her descending the mountain to help him on his way, and Mo Ran becomes more and more convinced that he and Shi Mei are destined to meet.

Even though Shi Mei was not with herself at this time, she had been hooked up in her previous life, so it was clearly a matter of ease and ease in this one.

The only thing he needs to worry about is protecting Shi Mei and not letting him die in his arms again, like he did back then.

Shi Mei, unaware that Mo Ran was reborn, chatted with him as she always did. As they chatted, they reached the foot of the summit of death and life.

Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, there would be a man standing in front of the mountain gate, staring at them intently?

" Mo Ran you still know how to come back"

"Hey."

Mo Ran looked up, and lo and behold, what an angry son of God.

This is none other than the young Xue Meng.

At fifteen or sixteen, he was even more untamed and handsome than the Xue Meng he had seen before he died. He is dressed in light, simple battle armour with blue trim on a black background, a high ponytail, a silver buckle, a lion's head belt around a strong, slender waist, a full set of armour and leggings, a thin, shiny, narrow curved sword at his back and a silver cuffed arrow box on his left arm.

Mo Ran sighed darkly and thought dryly.

Well, tawdry.

Xue Meng, both as a teenager and as a grown-up, is a real riot.

Look at him, a good boy, not sleeping at night, putting on the full set of battle armour of the top of death and life, what is he going to do to perform pheasant courting peacock opening?

However, just as Mo Ran did not like Xue Meng, Xue Meng did not necessarily like him.

Mo Ran was born out of wedlock and as a child, he had no idea who his father was and worked in one of Xiangtan's theatres as a hired hand. It was not until he was fourteen that his family found him at the top of the Dead and Alive.

Xue Meng is a young master at the top of the Dead, and is actually Mo Ran's cousin. Xue Meng was a young master, a genius, and was known as the "Proud Son of Heaven" and "Phoenix Child". It took at least ten years to attain the Spiritual Core, but Xue Meng was so gifted that it took only five years for him to attain the Spiritual Core, much to the delight of his parents and the praise of all.

But in Mo Ran's eyes, it doesn't matter if he is a phoenix or a chicken, a peacock or a duck, he is still a bird. It's just the difference between long and short fur.

So Mo Ran looks at Xue Meng: bird stuff.

Xue Meng looking at Mo Ran: dog stuff.

Perhaps it runs in the family, but Mo Ran is also incredibly talented, arguably more so than Xue Meng.

When Mo Ran first arrived, Xue Meng thought she was a noble and cool person, well-bred, educated, strong in kung fu, handsome, and not the same as her cousin, who was an illiterate, dodgy hooligan.

So the self-absorbed Phoenix grunted and commanded his entourage, telling them, "Listen up, Mo Ran, this man is idle, uneducated, and an unadulterated city punk, so don't pay any attention to him, just treat him like a dog."

I think it will take at least ten years for him to build his foundation and twenty years for him to develop his spirit core. I think it will take him at least ten years to build his foundation and twenty years to form his spirit nucleus. By then, our young master will have already ascended and he will only be able to watch from the ground."

Xue Meng sneered triumphantly, "Twenty years, I can see that he looks like a waste, he won't be able to cultivate a spirit core in his lifetime."

Who would have expected that after a year of learning from the master, the waste hipster would have become a great spiritual nucleus.

Phoenix was struck by lightning, feeling punched in the face and unable to swallow the anger.

So they secretly stabbed him, cursing him for slipping on the bottom of his sword and tying his tongue with the incantation.

Whenever he meets Mo Ran, Xue Meng is so persistent in giving him two big white eyes that he can hear his nose humming from three miles away.

Mo Ran can't help but squint in delight at the thought of these childhood memories. It's been a long time since he's enjoyed such earthly pleasures, and after ten years of solitude, even the things he hated so much back then now crunch and smell good when he chews on them.

When Shi Mei saw Xue Meng, she dismounted and removed her black hat to reveal a stunningly beautiful face.

No wonder he was dressed like this when he went out alone, Mo Ran peeked over the edge and felt his mind wandering. I thought, "This man is really beautiful, he's a real soul-stealer.

Shi Mei greeted him: " young master ."

Xue Meng nodded, "Back and done with the human bear."

Shi Mei smiled, "It's all right. Thanks to Mo Ran, it helped me a lot."

Xue Meng's haughty gaze swept over Mo Ran's body like a sharp blade of wind and immediately turned away, frowning with disdain, as if he would dirty his eyes if he looked at Mo Ran for a moment longer.

" Shi Mei, you go back to rest first. Hang out with him less from now on, this is a chicken-stealer, you're going to learn bad things by being with him."

Mo Ran, not to be outdone, scoffed, " Shi Mei, if not me, then you, dressed to the nines at night, with your tail up like a bird, and the pride of heaven hahaha, I think it's the pride of heaven"

Xue Meng was furious: " Mo Ran, keep your mouth shut, this is my house, who are you?"

Mo Ran pinched his finger: "I'm your cousin, so I should be ahead of you in terms of ranking."

Xue Meng, as if he had been pelted with shit, immediately frowned in disgust and said sternly, "Who has a cousin like you? Don't flatter yourself.

Xue Meng is a man who likes to call people dogs, such as dogs, sons, dogs, mothers and fathers. Mo Ran was used to this and pulled out his ears, unconcerned. It was Shi Mei who was embarrassed to hear this and whispered a few words of advice. Xue Meng finally snorted out of her nostrils and shut her beak.

Shi Mei smiled and asked gently, " young master waiting for someone in front of the mountain gate so late at night"

"Or else what? Enjoy the moon?"

Mo Ran hilariously laughed, "I thought you looked so good cleaning up, it turns out you're waiting for a date, hey, who's so unlucky to be missed by you I feel so sorry for her, hahahahahaha."

Xue Meng's face became even darker, his nails could drop three pounds of coal with a single scrape, and he said gruffly, "You"

"I"

"My lord waits for you, what do you expect?"

Mo Ran :""
