Chapter 225 Long Aotian's Immortal Sword (4)
"Shuibi, you finally agreed to see me!" Xifeng was very excited.
"Xifeng? You're finally back?" Shuibi was very weak. Having turned into a statue for so many years had made her lose too much of her divine power. If a few more years passed, she would probably disappear.
"I'm sorry, Shuibi. Because of my cowardice, I made you wait for me for so many years." Xifeng felt very guilty. He transferred all the little spiritual power in his body to Shuibi.
"It's okay, I'm glad you're here." Shuibi's hand touched Xifeng hurriedly, and Xifeng couldn't help but shudder.
"Don't touch me, I'm ugly"
"No, in my heart, you have never been ugly. Xifeng is a man with a beautiful heart."
The two of them were so affectionate with each other that they ignored the people around them. They couldn't get out without Shuibi's help, so they simply took out the food prepared in the space and filled the table with it.
This was the meal prepared by the best chef in Long Aotian's restaurant. Long Aotian started eating happily and at the same time thought about how to get Shuibi to give the Holy Spirit Pearl to a few people.
Although my appearance might disrupt the plot and I might not necessarily need the Holy Spirit Pearl, as the saying goes, it is better to be prepared.
While Long Aotian was thinking, Xu Changqing came in with a dazed look on his face. Chang Yin couldn't help but worry, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Xu Changqing didn't know how to tell his junior fellow apprentice that he had seen his past and that he seemed to have a child. Chang Yin stopped asking questions when he heard Xu Changqing say this.
After Shuibi and Xifeng finished talking to each other, they noticed the people who were full and satisfied. They immediately said shyly: "I'll take you to shore."
"Thank you," Long Aotian thanked him, but he didn't know how to ask for the Holy Spirit Pearl.
"This is my magic weapon, the Holy Spirit Pearl. I'll give it to you as a thank you gift." Shuibi took out the Holy Spirit Pearl and handed it to Long Aotian, which surprised Long Aotian.
"Thank you very much, Miss Shuibi." Long Aotian also gave her many good things in the space that he could not use.
Everyone left the underwater city smoothly. Thinking that they were free anyway, Long Aotian suggested that they collect the Five Spirit Pearls together. Qingwei also sent a message to his fellow apprentice Xu Changqing, asking them to follow Long Aotian to collect the beads.
Several people embarked on the journey of collecting the Five Spirit Pearls a few years in advance, and they came to Anning Village to look for the Earth Spirit Pearl.
As soon as Long Aotian entered the village, he smelled the strong stench of the fox demon and could not help but cover his nose, but no one else reacted, not even Chonglou.
"Boss Long, are you sick? Why are you covering your nose all the time?" Xuejian asked with concern.
"Brother is sick?" Long Kui quickly moved to Long Aotian's side.
"It doesn't matter. Maybe there are some small surprises coming." It's hard to say for whom the surprise that Long Aotian mentioned is a surprise.
Several people stayed in the inn, waiting for the opportunity to find the Earth Spirit Pearl. Unexpectedly, they met a beautiful woman selling rouge. Xuejian and Longkui went together to buy it, and Long Linger followed behind Longkui to protect her.
Xu Changqing had been feeling uneasy for a long time. He came to a tavern in a daze. When he looked up, he saw the person who made him uneasy - Zi Xuan.
At this moment, Zi Xuan didn't know that Xu Changqing already knew everything that happened in the previous two lives. She looked at Xu Changqing with affection in her eyes, but pretended not to know him: "What kind of wine would you like, sir?"
"Zixuan, I remember." Xu Changqing's words made Zixuan confused.
"You, how could you remember?" Zi Xuan didn't know that what Xu Changqing meant by remembering was just knowing everything but not experiencing it personally. She excitedly ran to Xu Changqing and hugged him tightly.
"Miss Zixuan, please respect yourself." Xu Changqing broke free and looked at Zixuan with strange yet familiar eyes: "I remember that we seemed to have a child. Now that so many years have passed, how is she?"
Zi Xuan was a little sad that Xu Changqing pushed her away, but when she thought of her daughter, she felt guilty and said, "Qing'er is fine."
"That's good. If there is a chance, can you let me meet her?" Xu Changqing was a little at a loss. He was just a 24-year-old young man. He suddenly learned that he had a daughter, who was even older than him. He felt very complicated.
Perhaps only Long Kui and Jingtian could understand this complicated feeling. After all, they both had relatives who were many years older than them. Thinking of this, Xu Changqing felt much better.
"Do you just want to ask me, Qing'er?" Zi Xuan was a little sad. She knew she shouldn't be like this, but when she saw Xu Changqing, she couldn't control herself.
"I..." Xu Changqing didn't know what to say. She had been practicing for many years and had only come into contact with a few women, all of whom she truly loved and cared for like sisters. She had never encountered such a complicated situation.
"Bai Doufu, so you are here?" Jingtian's voice came, which saved Xu Changqing.
"Brother Jing, you are here"
"We found out that the Earth Spirit Pearl is most likely in..." Jingtian was about to say this when he saw Zixuan beside him and immediately changed the subject: "This girl is so beautiful, Bai Doufu, do you know her?"
"This is Miss Zixuan, an old friend of mine." Xu Changqing didn't know how to explain the relationship between himself and Zixuan.
The two were husband and wife in their previous two lives, and they had a daughter. However, in this life, he had just met each other, and his memory was just a cursory glimpse of them, so he could not empathize with them.
Xu Changqing admitted that he felt a little strange when he saw Zixuan, but he couldn't accept that she was his wife all at once, so he could only say that she was an old friend.
I can't introduce this to Jingtian and the others as the mother of my daughter, right? Wouldn't it be even more difficult to explain now?
"Old friend? Since you are an old friend, you have to treat us to a drink!" Jingtian didn't know Xu Changqing's dilemma. When he saw that the other party claimed to be an old friend, he asked him to treat everyone to a drink.
"Brother Jing, it's fine for me to treat you to a drink, but if Miss Long Kui also drinks, I'm afraid Elder Long will be angry," Xu Changqing said weakly, and it was obvious that Long Aotian was still very majestic.
"I don't want to drink. I'm still young. My brother said that I can drink when I grow up." Long Kui hid behind Long Ling'er obediently. Long Ling'er was like a hen protecting her chicks.
"I don't want to drink either. You guys should drink instead. You will be the ones who get scolded then." Xuejian also refused.
"Senior Brother, you know I don't drink at all." Chang Yin also shook his head.
In the end, only Jingtian and Xu Changqing were drinking, while the others were chatting and eating. When Long Aotian and Chonglou arrived, they saw Zixuan busy as a dog.
Zixuan can cook, and they were a little hungry, so she started cooking. But as the saying goes, the little boys will eat their parents out of money, and these little boys are all cultivators, so they have higher requirements for food.
This resulted in what Zi Xuan initially thought was a reminiscing of the past turning into a one-sided effort on her part, while Xu Changqing had already gotten drunk and was crying with his glass of wine in his hand.
"Wow, Qing'er, Daddy is so sorry for you. Daddy didn't know you existed for so many years. Daddy is not a qualified father."
Everyone was suddenly treated to a big treat and listened attentively to Xu Changqing's drunken talk. Zixuan also wiped the sweat off her forehead and planned to hear what Xu Changqing had in his heart, as she had added some good stuff to the wine.
But unexpectedly, Xu Changqing was already completely drunk, and only Jingtian was still muttering: "Long Kui, don't blame me. It's not that I don't want you to wear that wide-sleeved fairy dress, it's really unlucky. When I have money, I will definitely ask a famous artist to make you the most beautiful dress."
"Maomao, I shouldn't have blamed you for my mistakes. Next time I will admit my mistakes."
"Xuejian, you don't know, actually my father picked you up in the snow. My father said that you would be my child bride, but I refused at that time. Now I seem to regret it a little bit."
"Long Aotian, I really can't accept that you are my younger brother. I have always regarded you as my master and even as a father. How can you be my younger brother, wuwuwu" Having said this, Jingtian really couldn't help but burst into tears.
Everyone had different expressions, only Zixuan was very disappointed. Xu Changqing actually fell asleep during such a good opportunity. She just wanted to live a good life with Xu Changqing, and their daughter Qing'er, and the three of them as a family, even if she only had a short dozen years.
It was destined that Qing'er's life was on the countdown from the moment she was born, but she was unwilling to not have a good ending with Gu Liufang, so she chased him into the second life.
However, the second life still did not have a good ending, but she had a child. She forcibly used the Water Spirit Pearl to stop Qing'er's growth and chased her to the current third life.
Looking at Xu Changqing who was still frowning while sleeping, Zi Xuan felt uneasy for some reason and left in a hurry.
(I used to think Zixuan was very selfish, but then I thought, it must be cruel for her to grow old and die when her daughter grows up)
Several people brought the drunk Jingtian and Xu Changqing back to the inn. The two slept for three days before waking up. Chonglou pointed out that there was something mixed in the wine that caused the two to be drunk. Xuejian was immediately angry.
"This boss is too abominable. Isn't he trying to murder others by using this kind of wine? Brother Xu actually has such an old friend. It's really embarrassing for Brother Xu!"
“Maybe the other party’s target is not my brother, but just wants to play a joke on Brother Xu. Sister Xuejian, please don’t be so angry.” Long Kui pulled Xuejian’s hand to stop her from continuing to be angry.
Xue Jian thought it made sense and calmed down instantly. Xu Changqing knew nothing about this. When he woke up, Zi Xuan was gone. Instead, the other people looked at him with strange eyes.
"I didn't expect that someone like Senior Brother Changqing would have a child?" Xuejian approached Xu Changqing in a mean manner.
"You all know about this?" Looking at everyone's expressions, Xu Changqing knew that everyone was aware of this matter, and for a moment he felt a little ashamed.
"I, I don't know either. It was a few days ago in the underwater city that I saw my past life and learned that I had a child. The woman last night was the mother of my child." Xu Changqing finally introduced Zixuan to everyone as the mother of the child.
"But if it is a child from the previous life, what does it have to do with this life?" Xuejian, as the only person without a previous life, expressed her confusion.
"Of course there is a relationship, it's a lifelong relationship!" Long Linger was the first to refute. She knew best how her master felt about Long Kui and Jingtian, and would not allow anyone to deny it.
"Yes, she is my daughter after all, how could I not care about her?" Xu Changqing became even more depressed when he said this.
He clearly realized that Zi Xuan liked himself in his previous two lives, and facing himself in this life was just an obsession, but he could not deny that he was himself and that the other party loved him.
This strange contradiction made Xu Changqing very confused. His expression became more complicated, and so was his mood, to the point that it affected his usual practice.
Chonglou was in a rare good mood and planned to teach some skills to a few kids who were not master and apprentice in name but in reality. Unexpectedly, Xu Changqing's performance really disappointed him.
"Xu Changqing, I remember that you are not at this level? You dare to be distracted while fighting with me. How do you know that I will not kill you?" Chonglou was very angry. Someone actually was distracted during a fight. This was simply intolerable.
Without waiting for Xu Changqing to say anything, the angry Chonglou had already started to attack him violently. As expected, Xu Changqing was severely injured and spit out blood. Everyone gathered around him with concern and treated him, but no one blamed Chonglou.
Just as Chonglou said, if Xu Changqing was distracted like this when fighting the enemy, it would not be as simple as getting injured. He might also lose his life. What's worse, it is not impossible that his soul would be torn apart.
"Thank you, Demon Lord, for your teaching." After healing his wounds, Xu Changqing suddenly felt enlightened. He thanked Chonglou and looked at everyone's concerned eyes. He finally made up his mind.
He wanted to find an opportunity to see his daughter, and at the same time have a good talk with Zixuan to resolve their mutual misunderstandings. At least he wanted to make it clear to Zixuan that he was Xu Changqing, not Gu Liufang or Lin Yeping.
After Xu Changqing rested for two days, several people embarked on a journey to find the Earth Spirit Pearl. With the help of the fox demon Wan Yuzhi, they got the specific location of the Earth Spirit Pearl. In return, Long Aotian gave the other party a pill.
"If one day your husband gets an incurable disease, this medicine can help you."
"Thank you, sir." Wan Yuzhi carefully accepted the pill and thanked everyone.
When they arrived outside the ancient vine forest, they saw a giant monkey named Jingjing. He could steal everything, but since Jingjing was so cute, no one wanted to make things difficult for him.
Jingjing told everyone that the Earth Spirit Pearl was with the old monster Gu Teng. Several people found the old monster Gu Teng, and the old man said that he could guess everyone's thoughts. If he guessed correctly, everyone must stay with him. If he lost, they would be let go.
"This is easy, let me try it first." Jingtian walked forward confidently, and all his secrets were exposed.
Xuejian laughed cheerfully: "You can't do this, why don't we let Long Kui try it?" Hearing Xuejian's words, Long Linger nervously grabbed Long Kui's hand, fearing that the other party would be frightened.
