When Qi Ming was free these days, he carefully looked at the map of the Western Frontier that Ye Fu had prepared before, and paid special attention to the location of the Black Demon Sect, because the Black Demon Thunder, one of the two major landmines he was looking for, is in the Black Demon Abyss near the Black Demon Sect.

I learned from Meng Xing that Caohun Village needs to gather 3,000 soul flowers per foot every year, while Meng Xing and Meng Kexin need to hand over five soul flowers per foot. If they can't hand over, they will be in big trouble.

The village chief of Caohun Village was deposed as a disciple of the Soul Refining Hall. In the early stages of the Spirit Sea Realm, he also took the responsibility of supervising Caohun Village.

Qi Ming learned from Meng Xing that the village chief lived, and then turned around and entered the house. Before going to find the village chief, he was preparing to practice the soul searching technique.

Qi Ming's soul is already very strong, and he did not encounter many difficulties in practicing soul searching. After a night of cultivation, he will almost perform it.

"Brother Ye!" Meng Kexin walked in from outside the door, ran to Qi Ming and said, "It's okay today, I'll take you to Huatian to have a look?"

"Okay!" Qi Ming and Meng Kexin walked out of the courtyard with a smile.

Yesterday, Qi Ming stood at the door. At first glance, there were flower fields everywhere, planting soul flowers.

Meng Kexin took Qi Ming to the north.

"Look, isn't that a plague demon?"

"Who is the man next to the plague demon?"

"Those who get close to her won't end well, please dodge it quickly!"

"No matter who that person is, I bet he will not live for three days!"

"The plague demon should die! She will implicate others when she lives!"

...

On the way, I met other flower slaves who pointed at Meng Kexin and stepped back when they saw Meng Kexin coming, as if they had seen something terrible.

Qi Ming realized this situation and was stunned at first, then became angry. He looked at Meng Kexin, and now Meng Kexin's face turned a little pale, and her face had not changed much. He focused on the direction of the flower field.

But Qi Ming could clearly feel the fluctuations in her emotions. Qi Ming knew that it was because everyone had always treated him like this, so she would not be surprised. However, those words were too hurtful. Even if I heard a lot, I still couldn't guarantee peace.

call out!

A stone as big as a fist hit Meng Kexin's head from a distance.

Meng Kexin was stunned and couldn't react, so she could only watch the stone about to hit her forehead.

At this time, a hand stretched out from the side to block the stone.

Qi Ming blocked Meng Kexin, looking at the boy who threw stones not far away with anger with his eyes. If the other party was not young, Qi Ming would have taken action.

"Hmph, I'm saving you! Otherwise you will definitely be killed by her!" The young man Wuyu Qi Ming's angry eyes said loudly to Qi Ming.

"I don't have the same knowledge as you, go away!" Qi Ming said coldly.

"Do you know that on the first day of her birth, her mother died, her father died the next day, and on the third day his brother died... She is a cursed person! Whoever is with her will die! There is someone in the village who doesn't listen to advice and is friends with her, but after only three days they drowned! If you don't listen to my advice, you will die!" the boy shouted loudly.

Tears spilled out of Meng Kexin's eyes, falling down, and she couldn't help sobbing in a low voice.

"Get out!" Qi Ming roared angrily.

"You..." The young man was frightened by Qi Ming's momentum and only said one word.

Meng Kexin felt Qi Ming's anger and reached out to wipe her tears. His back became clear again, so tall that it seemed to help her block those vicious attacks.

"Hmph, since he is looking for death, please ignore him!" An adult walked over to the boy and snorted coldly, dragging the boy away.

Qi Ming turned around and reached out to wipe away the tears from her face, "Don't listen to them nonsense!"

"Brother Ye, grandpa said I won't implicate you..." Meng Kexin was a little anxious and wanted to explain.

"You won't implicate anyone, and your family's death has nothing to do with you." Qi Ming interrupted Meng Kexin softly and said. Even if those people really died because of Meng Kexin, he didn't care, because she saved his life?

Meng Kexin saw Qi Ming’s gentle smile and tears flowed down again.

"Stop crying! We will not see these people in the future and will no longer listen to them." Qi Ming said.

"I just remembered my brother," Meng Kexin said, "I've left before I saw him."

"I will be your brother from now on, and I will protect you." Qi Ming said.

Meng Kexin said, "Then you are not allowed to die."

"I won't die so easily." Qi Ming said, "I will take you to my hometown in the future, and you will definitely make many friends there."

"Really?" Meng Kexin burst into tears and smiled.

"Really, I have a sister who is as cute as Kexin. You will definitely be good friends. I have been away from home for a long time and haven't gone back to see her." Qi Ming really missed Chiyang Town a little, and thought that when he helped the master resurrect Fantasy, he would definitely go back to Yueling to see her.

"I will go back to your house with you at that time." Meng Kexin said.

...

Meng Kexin took Qi Ming to a separate flower field, "This is my flower field."

"How could it be? Why is there one soul flower missing?" Meng Kexin glanced at the soul flower and her expression changed drastically.

Qi Ming also looked into the flower field. The flower field had about dozens of acres, and there were at least tens of thousands of soul flowers planted.

Soul Flower is a flower with black stems and leaves, and nine petals scattered.

However, most of the soul flowers in the flower field are less than half a foot, with branches and leaves tugging, and are dead.

About 10% of the soul flowers are half a foot higher, and the branches and leaves are spread out, which contrasts with the short soul flowers.

There are also four soul flowers that are over one foot taller than a foot, and they are all one and a half feet tall. They stand sparsely among the flowers, proudly raising their heads, like kings.

Meng Kexin ran straight into the flowers and looked at the traces on the ground, "The soul flower has disappeared, what should I do?"

For flower slaves, soul flowers are more important than life. If you cannot get five soul flowers, you will die.

Meng Kexin's tears were almost shedding.

Qi Ming quickly walked forward and asked, "How many days are there before the Soul Flower?"

Meng Kexin said: "Tomorrow I have to hand it over to the village chief, so I came to check the soul flower today. The village chief strictly prohibits soul flower from stealing. How could the soul flower disappear? Brother Ye, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a solution." Qi Ming comforted him and said, "Is there anyone in the village who has many qualified soul flowers? You can buy one!"

"There are several large households in the village that have extra soul flowers, but they will not sell them to me." Meng Kexin replied.

"Don't worry, I've left this matter to me, I have a way to solve it." Qi Ming said with a smile.

"Brother Ye, what are you good ideas? Let's hear it." Meng Kexin said, "I'm so upset. By the way, there is one more Brother Ye in our family this time. I wonder if the number of soul flowers will increase?"

Meng Kexin just thought of this problem and was a little anxious again.

"Kexin," Qi Ming said, "This matter is handled by my grandfather and I. Don't worry, just concentrate on improving your cultivation."

Meng Kexin looked at Qi Ming's calm face, as if she was infected, and her emotions were getting better, "Then let's go back and tell me what happened to Grandpa's soul flower!"

When Meng Kexin and Qi Ming returned home, Meng Xing had just returned home from the village, and he failed to borrow soul flowers in those wealthy families.

The number of soul flowers is not enough, so one of their grandfathers and grandsons will have to die. The wealthy families advised Meng Xing to hand over Meng Kexin and be executed. But after all, he is his biological granddaughter, how could he bear it?

From the time he pulled up the soul flower as medicine with his own hands, he thought that even if he died, he would pave a way for Meng Kexin. Although the road was filled with fog and I couldn't see clearly whether there were thorns, it was a hope after all, right?

"Grandpa! A soul flower in the flower field was lost!" Meng Kexin looked at Meng Xing and said hurriedly.

Meng Xing was stunned. He clearly told Meng Kexin not to go to Huatian these days, but unexpectedly she went there anyway. He nodded and said with a smile: "I already know. I am trying to solve it. Don't worry."

"Kexin, you go to practice first, I will discuss with my grandfather." Qi Ming said to Meng Kexin with a smile.

Meng Kexin felt something was wrong with her grandfather, but she felt relieved when she saw Qi Ming's eyes, so she turned around and went into the room to practice.

Qi Ming asked, "Is it related to the lost soul flower that I can wake up?"

"Your soul was damaged at that time, and only one foot tall soul flower has the effect of nourishing the soul, so..." Meng Xing said, "But since you promised to protect Kexin, this matter has nothing to do with you, I will solve it."

"How come it doesn't matter? After all, I ate it," Qi Ming said, "Leave this matter to me and I will solve it!"

Night, silence.

Qi Ming quietly slipped out of the courtyard, took out a black cloak from the storage ring and draped it on it. The long brim of the hat covered most of his face.

He came to a luxurious mansion located west of the entrance of the village.

Two red lanterns were hung in front of the gate of the mansion, with quiet lights scattered, and the gate was closed.

Qi Ming jumped into the mansion, and then his mental power instantly spread to the entire mansion.

"Isn't there?" Qi Ming was a little surprised. He would have to be responsible for collecting the soul flowers tomorrow, and he would no longer be in the mansion tonight.

This is really beyond Qi Ming's expectations. If you can't explain to the village chief, there may be unnecessary trouble tomorrow.

"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow. I don't believe that with my strength, I can't protect their grandfather and grandson." Qi Ming murmured to himself, then jumped out of this luxurious mansion and went back.

After dawn, the whole village became lively, and it was very lively at this time of year. The villagers handed in enough soul flowers to exchange for enough food for a year and some precious cultivation resources.

This is something the villagers have earned after working hard for a year.

Meng Kexin walked out of the house with sleepy eyes, and he didn't sleep well all night.

"Brother Ye, have you gathered five soul flowers?" Meng Kexin asked immediately when she saw Qi Ming.

"I didn't get all together, but I invited a strong man to talk to the village chief and said, it's definitely okay." Qi Ming said with a smile.

Meng Kexin looked around, "Where are the strong ones?"

"This strong man has a strange temper, so it is naturally not easy to see." Qi Ming said mysteriously.
