Shi Mei was a real man, and in terms of time, he was Mo Ran's Senior Brother.
The reason why he was given such an unlucky name was because the Lord, who was at the pinnacle of life and death, had no knowledge.
Shi Mei was originally an orphan, and was picked up by the Lord in the wild. This child was weak and sickly since young, so the Lord thought that he should give this child a lowly name, which would make it easier to take care of him.
This child was born with red lips and white teeth, and looked like a cute little girl, so the Lord racked his brains and thought of a name for him, Xue Ya.
Xue Ya grew up and became more and more beautiful. Her face was smooth, and her eyebrows and eyes were flirtatious. She had the charm of a peerless beauty.
It was fine for a country bumpkin to have the name Xue Ya, but have you ever seen a beautiful woman called "Gou Dan" or "Tie Zhu"?
Her fellow disciples felt that it was inappropriate, so they gradually stopped calling her Xue Ya, but it was not good to change the name given by the Lord, so they half-jokingly called her Junior Sister.
Junior Sister, Junior Sister, Junior Sister, Junior Sister. Later, the Lord simply waved his hand and said considerately, "Xue Ya, why don't you change your name and call yourself Shi Mei? What do you think?"
He had the nerve to ask … How could a normal person accept this name?
However, Shi Mei had a good temper. He looked up at the Great Lord and realized that the Great Lord was looking at him happily. It seemed that the Great Lord thought that he had done a good deed.
Shi Mei could not bear it, and felt that even if he was wronged, he could not embarrass the Lord.
So he happily knelt down and thanked him, and changed his name from then on.
"Cough, cough." The black cloak coughed a few times, then recovered and looked up at Mo Ran. "Hmm?
Mo Ran?
Why are you here? "
Through the hazy veil, that pair of eyes were as soft as spring water and as bright as the stars, directly cutting into Mo Ran's heart.
With just a glance, the Celestial Treading Monarch's tenderness and youthful thoughts that had been covered in dust for a long time were instantly unsealed.
It was Shi Mei.
It couldn't be wrong.
Mo Ran was a ruffian. In his previous life, he had played with many men and women. In the end, he didn't die of exhaustion. Even he himself was surprised.
However, the only person he truly loved was someone he was very careful about, and he never dared to touch her easily.
In those years, he and Shi Mei had been flirting with each other, but when Shi Mei died, Mo Ran had only held her hand and had only accidentally kissed her once.
Mo Ran felt that he was dirty. Shi Mei was too gentle and pure. He was not worthy of her.
He already cherished this person so much when she was alive, let alone when she was dead.
Then she would have completely become the white moonlight in the Emperor Ta's heart. No matter how much he scratches his heart and liver to think about her, she would have already become a handful of yellow earth. In the underworld, it would be difficult to find her.
But at this moment, the living Shi Mei appeared in front of him again. Mo Ran had to use all his strength to control his emotions.
Mo Ran helped him up and brushed off the dust on his cloak. His heart ached so much that his flesh was about to fall off.
"If I wasn't here, wouldn't you have been bullied by them?
Why didn't you fight back when they hit you? "
"I want to reason with them first …"
"What's the point of reasoning with these people!
Are you hurt?
Where does it hurt? "
"Cough, cough, Mo Ran, I … I'm fine."
Mo Ran turned his head and fiercely said to the Taoist priests, "You dare to touch someone at the peak of life and death?
You've got guts. "
"Mo Ran … forget it …"
"Didn't you want to fight?
Come on!
Why don't you spar with me! "
After being hit by Mo Ran's palm, the Taoist priests knew that this person's cultivation level was much higher than theirs. They were all cowards and didn't dare to exchange blows with Mo Ran. They all retreated.
Shi Mei sighed repeatedly and advised, "Mo Ran, don't fight. Be lenient when possible."
Mo Ran turned to look at him. He couldn't help but feel sad and his eyes were slightly hot.
Shi Mei had always been kind. When he died in his past life, he didn't have any resentment or hatred.
He even advised Mo Ran not to hold a grudge against his Master, who could have saved his life but chose to stand by and watch.
"But they …"
"Aren't I fine? Nothing's wrong with me.
It's better to avoid trouble. Listen to Senior Brother. "
"Ai ai, alright, we'll listen to you. We'll listen to you." Mo Ran shook his head and glared at the Taoist priests, "Did you hear that?
My Senior Brother is pleading for you!
Why aren't you scramming?
Do you still want me to send you off? "
"Yes, yes, yes!
We'll scram now!
We'll scram now! "
Shi Mei said to the Taoist priests, "Wait."
The Taoist priests felt that Shi Mei wouldn't let them off so easily after being beaten up by them. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Immortal Monarch, Immortal Monarch, we were wrong. We didn't recognize Mount Tai.
We beg Immortal Monarch to let us go! "
"I told you nicely just now, but you didn't listen."
Shi Mei sighed, "You kidnapped other people's children and caused them to suffer such a crime. Their parents are heartbroken. Do you have a conscience?"
"We're sorry!
We're sorry!
Immortal Monarch, we were wrong!
We won't do it again!
We won't do it again! "
"You have to be upright in the future. Don't do bad things. Do you understand?"
"Yes!
Immortal Monarch is right!
We, we've been taught, we've been taught! "
"Since it's like this, please apologize to this madam and treat her children."
This matter was settled. Mo Ran helped Shi Mei get on the horse and borrowed another one from the post house. The two of them rode side by side back to the sect.
The Wu gou hung high in the sky. The moonlight shone through the trees and scattered on the forest path.
As they walked, Mo Ran gradually became happy. He thought that he would see Shi Mei again only when he returned to the peak of life and death. He didn't expect that Shi Mei would come down the mountain and he would bump into him. Mo Ran was more and more convinced that he and Shi Mei were indeed fated to be together.
Although Shi Mei wasn't with him at this time, he had hooked up with him in his previous life. In this life, he was obviously familiar with it.
The only thing he had to worry about was to protect Shi Mei. He didn't want him to die in his arms like he did in the past …
Shi Mei didn't know that Mo Ran had been reborn. He chatted with him as usual.
The two of them chatted until they arrived at the foot of the peak of life and death.
Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, there would be a person standing in front of the mountain gate, staring at them like a tiger watching its prey.
"Mo Ran!
You still know how to come back? "
"Eh?"
Mo Ran looked up. Oh, what an angry God's favored son.
This person was none other than the young Xue Meng.
Compared to the Xue Meng he saw before he died, the 15 or 16 years old Xue Meng looked even more arrogant and handsome.
He was dressed in a simple black armor with blue edges. He had a high ponytail, a silver hairpin, a lion's head belt, and a slender waist. He had a pair of gauntlets on his back, and a thin curved blade shining with a cold light. The arrow box on his left arm shone with a silver light.
Mo Ran sighed inwardly. He thought straightforwardly:
Hmm, coquettish.
Xue Meng, no matter when he was young or when he grew up, he was really coquettish.
Look at him, a good boy, but instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, he's wearing the full set of armor of the peak of life and death. What is he trying to do?
Is he trying to act like a pheasant courting a mate and a peacock spreading its tail?
However, even if Mo Ran didn't like Xue Meng, Xue Meng might not like him either.
Mo Ran was an illegitimate child. When he was young, he didn't even know who his father was. He spent his days doing odd jobs in a music hall in Xiang Tan.
It wasn't until he was 14 that his family found him and brought him back to the peak of life and death.
Xue Meng was the young master of the peak of life and death. Technically speaking, he was actually Mo Ran's younger cousin.
Xue Meng matured early when he was young. He was a genius and was known as the "Proud Son of Heaven" or "Little Phoenix".
Normally, it would take three years for a person to build their foundation and at least ten years to form their spiritual core. Xue Meng was talented and intelligent. From the time he entered the sect to forming his spiritual core, it only took him five years. His parents were very happy and praised him everywhere.
However, in Mo Ran's eyes, whether he was a phoenix or a chicken, a peacock or a duck, he was still a bird.
The only difference was that his feathers were long and his feathers short.
Therefore, Mo Ran looked at Xue Meng and said, "Bird thing."
Xue Meng looked at Mo Ran and said, "Dog thing."
Perhaps it was inherited in the family, but Mo Ran's talent was also very shocking. It could even be said that he was more shocking than Xue Meng.
When Mo Ran first arrived, Xue Meng felt that he was especially noble and elegant. He was well-cultivated, knowledgeable, strong in martial arts, and handsome. He was completely different from his cousin, who didn't know how to read and acted like a sloppy hooligan.
Therefore, the narcissistic Little Phoenix commanded her followers and said to them, "Listen carefully, Mo Ran is a person who idles around and doesn't learn anything. He's an out-and-out street hooligan. Don't pay attention to him. Just treat him like a dog."
The followers flattered her and said, "Young Master is right. That Mo Ran is already 14 years old and he just started to cultivate. I think he'll need at least ten years to build his foundation and twenty years to form his spiritual core.
When that time comes, our Young Master will have already passed the tribulation and ascended. He can only watch helplessly from the ground. "
Xue Meng sneered complacently, "Twenty years?
Hmph, I think he'll never be able to form his spiritual core in this lifetime. "
Who would have thought that the good-for-nothing would actually form his spiritual core after learning for a year from his Master.
Little Phoenix felt as if she was struck by lightning. She felt that she had been slapped in the face and could not swallow this resentment.
Therefore, she secretly scolded him and cursed him for slipping on his flying sword. She also cursed him for being tongue-tied.
Every time she saw Mo Ran, Xue Meng, and Little Phoenix would relentlessly reward them with rolling eyes. The sound from her nose could be heard from three miles away.
When Mo Ran thought of these childhood memories, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and smile. He hadn't enjoyed this kind of human life for a long time. After being alone for ten years, even the things that he hated so much in the past were now crispy and delicious to him.
When Shi Mei saw Xue Meng, he immediately dismounted and took off his black gauze bamboo hat, revealing a stunning face.
It was no wonder that he dressed like this when he went out alone. Mo Ran peeked at him from the side and felt his heart shake as he let his imagination run wild.
He thought to himself that this person was really stunning. His soul was captivating.
Shi Mei greeted him, "Young Master."
Xue Meng nodded, "You're back?
Have you dealt with the matter of Brown Bear? "
Shi Mei smiled, "It's done.
It's all thanks to meeting Mo Ran. He helped me a lot. "
Xue Meng's proud gaze swept over Mo Ran like a gale blade and immediately turned away. He frowned and his face was full of disdain, as if looking at Mo Ran for a moment would dirty his eyes.
"Shi Mei, go back and rest first.
Don't hang out with him in the future. He's a thieving bastard. You'll learn bad things if you hang out with him. "
Mo Ran didn't back down and mocked, "If Shi Mei doesn't learn from me, does he want to learn from you?
It's late at night and you're still dressed so smartly. You're like a bird with your tail up. Proud son of the heavens … hahaha, I think you're more like a proud daughter of the heavens. "
Xue Meng was furious, "Mo Ran, you better watch your mouth!
This is my home!
Who do you think you are? "
Mo Ran counted with his fingers, "I'm your older cousin. If we're talking about it, I should be ahead of you."
Xue Meng felt as if his face was splashed with dog feces. He immediately frowned in disgust and said sternly, "Who has an older cousin like you!
Don't flatter yourself. In my eyes, you're just a dog that has rolled in a quagmire! "
Xue Meng was a person who especially liked to scold others as dogs. She was very proficient in scolding others, saying things like son of a dog, son of a dog, son of a dog, son of a dog, son of a dog.
Mo Ran was already used to this. He picked his ear and didn't mind.
Shi Mei, who was standing beside them, felt awkward and tried to persuade them.
Xue Meng finally let out a cold snort from her nostrils and shut her noble beak.
Shi Mei smiled and asked gently, "Young Master, it's so late. Are you waiting for someone in front of the mountain gate?"
"What else?
Admiring the moon? "
Mo Ran held his stomach and laughed, "I was wondering why you looked so good. It turns out that you were waiting for someone to go on a date. Sigh, who's so unlucky to be remembered by you?
I really pity her, hahahahaha. "
Xue Meng's face turned even darker. His fingernails could scrape off three kilograms of coal. He said in a rough voice, "You!"
"… Me?"
"This Young Master will wait for you. What do you want?"
