Chapter 295 Lucky Star
Chapter 295 Lucky Star
"Uncle, please don't be sad. We will no longer care about the affairs of the fairy world. What do their lives have to do with us? If you want to survive, you must become strong yourself. I am not a kind person. Blindly giving will not be exchanged for sincerity. It will also make others jealous. Let's go out, grandpa is waiting for us outside the cave. He is very worried about your safety." Qiqi said.
"Okay, let's go out."
Zhou Jingze supported his uncle. Qiqi had stored the small pagoda in his space. He couldn't let the pagoda's story get out, lest it bring trouble to himself and the spirit race.
As soon as I walked out of the cave, I saw the old patriarch still waiting outside.
Yun Zhong took a few quick steps and fell to his knees. "Father, I'm sorry for making you suffer. If it weren't for Qiqi, I would never see you again. I'm so ashamed of you. You saved me time and time again. I was too selfish." Yun Zhong kowtowed three times.
When the old patriarch saw her son recover, she knew Qiqi had saved her uncle. The demonic spirit was no longer visible in her son's body. She saw the clarity in her son's eyes, and his body had recovered somewhat. All of this was probably Qiqi's work.
The old patriarch helped his son to his feet. "Chong'er, none of this is your fault. It was your father's partiality that made you protect Ziying. That's why you fell into the devil's trap. The great devil wanted to possess you, but he didn't expect you to be so strong. For thousands of years, the two of you have been evenly matched. Neither of you has gained the upper hand. Instead, Qiqi saved you. Qiqi is the lucky star of our spirit race."
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze looked at the father and son, smiling faintly. Was their arrival here also destiny? Were they here to save their uncle? To repay the favor of saving Jiang Ziying? Why was she here in this life? Was it all arranged by heaven? I just don't believe in evil. I control my own destiny, Qiqi cried out in her heart.
"Father, Qiqi is my lucky star. I will treat her well. Let me help you go back and rest!" Yun Chong said.
"Qiqi, come back with grandpa."
Zhou Jingze came over to support the old patriarch, and they quickly returned to their residence. Yun Chong was waiting at his father's residence. When he saw his eldest brother had also returned, he excitedly threw himself into his eldest brother's arms and burst into tears. He no longer had the image of a patriarch.
Yun Chong also hugged his brother and shed tears. He had missed Yun Chong for thousands of years.
"Stop crying and come inside. Don't let people laugh at you. Qiqi and the others must be hungry. Let someone prepare some food." said the old patriarch.
Qiqi first sent away the rest of the spirits and let them rest.
Qiqi knew that the spirit race's food was full of spiritual energy, but human food was still more delicious. As if by magic, Qiqi pulled out a large amount of food. Roast duck, roast chicken, braised pig's trotters, grilled sausages. All of them were cooked. Soon, Qiqi had prepared a large table of food.
"Grandpa, uncle, look at these. Do you want to eat them? If it's not enough, I have more. We brought them from the human world. I don't want more people to know, so I sent them away. Grandpa, you won't blame me, will you?" Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, how could I blame you? I know you have many secrets. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. After all, we spirits are not united. I'm afraid they will know your secrets and leak them out. It will cause unnecessary trouble or disaster, which we can't afford.
Come, let's sit together. Qiqi may not be used to eating our spirit food, it is indeed not as delicious as human food. Let's try these foods together, just looking at and smelling them will make us hungry. Yun Chong, go get a bottle of wine." The old patriarch ordered.
Qiqi quickly stopped her uncle and took out a few bottles of fruit wine. This was something she had brewed in the space after some improvements. It was no worse than what the monkeys brewed. Qiqi's batch of fruit wine was all brewed with spiritual spring water.
Zhou Jingze quickly took it and poured a glass for the old patriarch and his two uncles. In an instant, the whole room was filled with the aroma of wine.
When the old patriarch smelled it, he felt refreshed.
"This wine smells so good, and it's full of spiritual energy. It must be delicious. Let me have a glass first." Yun Chong said bluntly.
"You are just a greedy kid, knowing that it is a good thing." The old patriarch scolded with a smile.
"Father, this is really delicious. I have never tasted such delicious wine. Qiqi, please leave a few more bottles for uncle!" Yun Chong said.
"Okay, uncle, as long as you like it, it's fine. I brewed it myself, and I have a lot."
The old patriarch and Yun Chong also drank a cup. Just as Yun Chong said, it was very delicious. Their expressions were very enjoyable.
The old patriarch and his sons were all devouring the roast duck and the roast chicken, which was also very fragrant. Qiqi was very pleased to see this.
"Grandpa, uncle, you like this fruit wine, so I'll leave a few more bottles for you. I also have a lot of food, so I'll leave some for you." Qiqi didn't tell the old patriarch about getting the Soul-Catching Tower. It was probably a kind concealment.
Qiqi asked what kind of person Jiang Ziying's mother was. The old patriarch fell into reminiscence.
The old patriarch had two sons and a daughter. When they reached marriageable age, the tribe members asked her to marry, sacrificing her daughter's happiness. The old patriarch also disagreed with the marriage, but the elders of the tribe agreed.
The old patriarch discussed the matter with his daughter, Yun Zi, to see what she thought. Yun Zi firmly disagreed. The old patriarch then recalled a beautiful place he had visited during his travels in the human world. There, spiritual energy was abundant, and there was a cosmic tree. Time passed quickly there. Three years in the human world were only one year, and cultivation there was much more effective than with half the effort.
The old patriarch used a secret technique to send Yun Zi to the mortal realm, to the valley of the Cosmic Tree. He faced the bombardment of the elders alone in the Spirit Tribe. With Yun Zi gone, the elders finally had no other options and chose to marry off the daughters of other Spirit Tribe elders.
The old patriarch had never imagined that his daughter, after traveling to the human world, would encounter someone from the immortal realm and even save him. She married a man from the immortal realm, witnessed by the cosmic tree. After Yun Zi became pregnant, she was taken back to the immortal realm. The Immortal Emperor disapproved of the marriage and imprisoned her. After she gave birth, she was tortured in a realm of ice and fire. They learned all this later.
The old patriarch recalled this and said bitterly, "My spirit race will no longer be involved in the affairs of the fairy world. Their lives and deaths have nothing to do with us. My daughter will not allow them to torture like this. If it weren't for Ziying, I wouldn't let Yunzhong participate in the war. Now I understand. If someone in the fairy world hadn't leaked the news, I wouldn't know that Yun Zi was suffering." The old patriarch shed tears as he spoke.
"Grandpa, uncle, don't be sad. I've already rescued Aunt Yun. She's now cultivating in the Lingxiao Sect! Don't worry, she's doing fine."
"Qiqi, what you said is true. It was you who rescued Yun Zi. That's great! My daughter is no longer suffering."
