Chapter 58 is a bit ambiguous
The little witch raised her snow-white neck, smiled proudly and said: "My father is the first of the four major demon gates - Mu Rong Tian Hen, I'm Mu Rong Xue, you can just call me Xue Er, hehe, a very common name, embarrassing."
Qian Xiaodou nodded and smiled lightly: "My surname is Qian, my name is Xiaodou, it sounds pretty good, not embarrassing!"
"Hmph... Hahaha......" Murong Xue laughed so hard that her small waist arched, until a wave of pain came from the wound, and she suddenly straightened up.
"Haha, don't tease me anymore, I give up! Haha, Qian Xiaodou, what a ridiculous name, you're not even embarrassed, it's like you're embarrassing yourself in your own home!"
Qian Xiaodou ignored her mockery and curiously asked: "I'm always being pampered by Master, never going out. Tell me some fun stories, I've heard them say that outside, there are always fights and deaths. Is it true?"
"Of course, when you're in the jianghu, who doesn't get hurt? I'm a perfect example. Back then, relying on my father's martial arts and the powerful sword he passed down to me, I thought I was invincible for a few days. But of course, that didn't last long. So, I took my sword and charged up Mount Jiuhua alone, relying on my divine skills and my father's blood sword. I managed to leave my name, Murong Xue, on the chair of your sect leader, and then I made a quick escape. Who knew that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape the Nine-Ringed Great Array of Mount Jiuhua? I fought and killed all the way, but in the end, I was defeated by your shifu with just one move... Hehehe, luckily, I used a small transmission array disk to escape, and that's how I met you. Otherwise, I would've been done for!"
Soldier, is that to say that her so-called number one father failed after entering the calamity period? How useless! Qian Xiaodou thought to herself but didn't have the nerve to say it out loud. She shook her head and said with a serious face:
"You kill people, causing them so much pain, and there's no deep grudge or hatred between you. Why not just find a place to cultivate on your own?"
"Cough, cough~" Murong Xue's small face turned bright red as she said: "Cultivation? If everyone had a piece of spiritual energy as abundant as yours, we wouldn't be fighting anymore. But then there would be no place for us to cultivate and survive. What is right, what is wrong, isn't it just about dividing into two groups to fight for survival? And besides, if we don't fight, where will the spiritual pills and medicines come from to increase our strength and cultivation? Don't tell me you can just eat the spiritual herbs you grow yourself!"
Qian Xiaodou said with a smug expression: "I'm clever, I do business by buying at low prices and selling at high prices. Moreover, I have a skill and a large group of good friends, plus a master who is a mid-term cultivator of the Heavenly Man Sect. Now I lack nothing!"
"Murong Xue's face turned red with rage as she shouted: 'How can there be someone more arrogant than me, the Demon Gate Princess?! I won't accept it!'"
Qian Xiaodou smiled warmly: "Since you're angry, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the war instead. What's the point of fighting like this? Can anyone win?"
"Actually, it's hard to say who wins or loses. We attacked your orthodox sect because we had too many disciples under our door, and only the strong survived through natural selection. Those who weren't good enough died, while those who were talented continued to receive concentrated training. I heard from Father that this is similar to how gods and demons develop in the heavenly realm - they grow, then suddenly strike at each other, gaining an advantage wherever possible. But you can't wipe out your opponent completely, because the power of nature has both light and darkness. If darkness were to extinguish all the light, it would itself be close to destruction!"
Qian Xiaodou laughed in surprise: "Xiao Xue, you're absolutely right! This is indeed a profound truth. We live in this world, and since the overall environment is like this, we might as well make ourselves happy. How to be happy? Just being able to laugh every day is enough!"
Murong Xue chuckled and said: "You! Are really a born optimist, right? As long as we follow the natural way, being happy is what matters, who cares about what's right or wrong? Come on, I have a great gift for you, do you want it?"
Qian Xiaodou hastily shouted: "If you want to, but don't take out anything with demonic energy, my master can sense it in an instant!"
Murong Xue's eyes shone with excitement as she rummaged through a small white storage bag, suddenly pulling out a few purple beads and exclaiming with joy:
"Magic-destroying Thunderbolt! Hmph, don't you want to? One can kill a combined period cultivator, three can kill a Great Dao period cultivator, five can kill a Yuan Ying period cultivator, eight can kill a Huashen period cultivator, and ten simultaneous releases can even finish off an Entry Tribulation period cultivator! Just the other day, I tested it out at your Jiuhua Mountain's Central Temple, and the result was that the temple's roof was blown away by me, haha...!"
Qian Xiaodou rubbed his hands together, his face flushed with excitement, and said loudly: "Want... want... such a great thing, I love it so much! The flame bombs I made are not even comparable in power, and I'm already bored with them. Refining equipment has no progress either, and I'm almost suffocating!"
"Ah~ You're the alchemist who made the Flame Bombs?" Murong Xue glared at him with her big, beautiful eyes and suddenly shouted loudly: "Flame Bombs, not powerful enough! How many of our people have your Flame Bombs killed? Let me tell you, I'm here to assassinate you. Believe it or not, I can blow you up right now!"
Qian Xiaodou smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't be angry, I'm just trying to earn some spirit stones to spend, okay Little Snow? Forgive me, hehe... and give me a few more fun ones too."
Murong Xue's face was puffed up with anger as she said, "If it weren't for you, I would have used this bag of Demon-Extinguishing Thunder to blast that alchemist to death. Your orthodox fighting skills are really no good, but you always manage to come up with some strange and unusual things, and they always end up causing us heavy losses. How annoying!"
Qian Xiaodou smiled foolishly and said, "Ahh ~ Xiao Xue, what's the point of being so calculating? In a few decades, or even hundreds or thousands of years, how many people will still be around us?"
Here is the translation:
"Even if it's those junior brothers and sisters I like, in the future when they reach the early stages of the Great Dao, won't I still have to watch them grow old and die or struggle desperately, yet be powerless to help? Cultivating immortality is truly too cruel!"
He was moved to tears, and Murong Xue immediately panicked, hastily saying: "Ah ~ silly little bean, I was just teasing you, what you said is right, why bother with the lives and deaths of those ordinary people? Come on, I'll find something fun for you. Oh ~ you're a master craftsman, huh? This... look at this!"
Qian Xiaodou glanced at a small green tripod and said with disdain:
"Top-grade Law Treasure Refining Cauldron? Heh, I already have one, just give me a few more Demon-destroying Divine Thunderbolts... Hmm, where did you get so many Demon-destroying Divine Thunderbolts from? Do you also have the Refining Formula? Give it to me, I love it!"
"You're sick!" Murong Xue pouted and said, "However, you do have good eyesight. I'll give you twenty for the Demon-destroying Thunderbolt, but this book can't be given to you. What if you blow up my house? My dad would still scold me, no way~no way~"
Xiao Dou said pitifully: "Okay, little snow, how about this? From now on, I'll make the things in this book for myself to use. Hmm...no way, I also need to give some to six or seven friends of mine, and then I won't give it to anyone else, okay?"
"Absolutely not!" Murong Xue said with big shining eyes: "If you use it yourself, I can consider it, but you, don't dare to trouble my old father!"
"Ah! Don't worry, I'm just a little guy in the late stage of forming my elixir, I wouldn't bother your old man for no reason, I'm sick, aren't I?"
"It's yours then!" Murong Xue tossed a small silver booklet at him, saying: "Just remember, don't spread it around to too many people. Even if you sell it, do it in small batches, or else others will use your stuff to blow you up!"
Qian Xiaodou immediately flipped through it and sighed: "What's this, the Demon-Extinguishing Divine Thunder requires a Yuan Ying stage cultivator to refine the Dan fire, and also needs the strength of a mid-grade artifact in the refining equipment. I'm dizzy! I've been refining equipment for over a hundred years and haven't even succeeded in making a low-grade artifact!"
"Useless!" Murong Xue took off a small necklace from her neck, picked up a crystal snowflake that shone with silver blue light and tossed it to him, pouting her small mouth saying:
"This is the Nuwa tear, you lucky little bean, you've encountered me, and it just so happens that the pure cinnabar in your brow can absorb this heaven-defying object. If it were someone else, it wouldn't work! From now on, not only will your crafting talent become unparalleled, but your magical power will also be thick and stable, and won't be easily invaded by heart demons. How impressive!"
Qian Xiaodou was overjoyed to have met this little witch. When Nüwa's tears merged into his own brow, a refreshing and cool feeling rose from the bottom of his heart. What surprised him most was that everything he saw in his eyes became so real, so clear, and logically distinct. His body also underwent a transformation, with a radiant blue light flashing across it, as if an ancient, primordial power was bursting forth from within him.
At that moment, he was full of confident expression, and immediately took out the top-grade law treasure refining cauldron, refining a low-grade law treasure flying sword. The result - succeeded! This made Qian Xiaodou, who held a low-grade law treasure flying sword, overjoyed!
Having received such a great benefit from Little Witch, Qian Xiaodou immediately took out a bag of fierce flame bombs and several interesting Taoist instruments, as well as one piece of top-grade spirit stone that he had found it difficult to obtain from his master, and gave them to her.
The little witch is indeed a princess, and it's actually her first time seeing top-grade spirit stones. She played with them for half a day, and even took away three of his thousand-year-old spirit grasses. What's more, she even took away one of his 1,200-year-old Blood Ginseng!
No way, the Nuwa's tear given by others is a priceless treasure that surpasses even top-grade law treasures and spiritual treasures, while what I have are just things I got from running errands myself, can't compare with others.
The two children studied the horror forbidden book together for many days, and finally they were able to make the simplest item of the Dan period - the Shocking Sky Bomb. Qian Xiaodou was able to make it, and the materials were simple too. They immediately made more than 200, and divided them equally between themselves. They agreed that once they went out, they would blow everything up!
After spending several days together, the relationship between the two people became better and better. The girl recovered from her injury and didn't plan to leave. They were busy with their own things during the day, but at night they would go out together, chat and watch the stars!
Things are getting a bit tricky, Qian Xiaodou slowly realized that this girl was being too good to him, always blushing and looking at him with reddened cheeks, occasionally leaning on his shoulder, holding his hand...
