895 Even Demonic Beasts Dare To Risk Their Lives, Xiaoyuâer Returns (2)
Half a day later, on a mountain peak hundreds of kilometers away from the dividing line between the two worldsâ¦
Ji Lutian, Zhang Jiping, Zheng Chengan, and the other leaders of the grotto-heavens gathered together again.
âEveryone, youâve already seen the situation. You were too optimistic before. Although we now have a buffer of thirty years, itâs not enough to change our situation,â Ji Lutian said solemnly. âMy suggestion is that if we can make the human race without Grotto-Heaven realm experts in the next thirty years, the source of this war will naturally not exist. Only in this way can we resolve the fundamental problem.
âHow can you be sure that after we sever our grotto-heavens, Heaven will no longer be hostile to the human race?â Zhang Jiping said. âIf the demonic beasts are still hostile to the human race, what should we do?â
âAt worst, it will be the same as now,â Ji Lutian said. âWith my mystic technique, even without your grotto-heavens, your strength wonât be affected. Therefore, the worst-case scenario is that we continue to fight the demonic beasts.â
Zhang Jiping frowned. âAlthough what you said makes sense, we donât know what your mystic technique is.â
Ji Lutian said, âYouâre not an outsider. Iâll tell you the mystic technique today.â
â¦
At a place in the former Great Xia, Zhou Shu raised his head and looked up into the distance.
Although he didnât deliberately pay attention, he still noticed what had happened at the border of the two worlds.
Ao Guang could actually mobilize the will of Heaven. Moreover, he really dared to risk his life!
This was a little unexpected.
This way, it wouldnât be possible to send workers to the Demon Realm to farm rewards.
âThis loss is on you, Ao Guang!â Zhou Shu said.
Boom! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Before Zhou Shu could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a loud bang. Then a black shadow fell from the sky.
Zhou Shu was shocked and almost subconsciously wanted to attack.
But after he saw who the black shadow was, he immediately moved his arm to the side, and his attack landed on the side.
âXiaoyuâer?â
The black shadow that fell from the sky was Xiaoyuâer, whom he hadnât seen for a long time.
Before Xiaoyuâer went missing, she had grown up a lot. But now, she seemed to have become three to four years old again.
Her eyes were closed, but her breathing was steady and long. Zhou Shu heaved a sigh of relief.
Xiaoyuâerâs body was flicking with light slightly, and she seemed to be holding something in her small hand.
This is⦠a Divine Stone? Zhou Shu saw that Xiaoyuâer was holding a Divine Stone! Xiaoyuâer suddenly appeared with a Divine Stone in her hand. Whatâs going on?
Zhou Shu looked around warily. Sheâs unconscious now, so itâs impossible for her to have returned on her own. Then, who sent her back?
Where did this Divine Stone come from?
Zhou Shu recalled that Xiaoyuâer had been hunted down by the Tang family of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven and had been seriously injured. Shi Changsheng had said that Xiaoyuâer had gone to heal herself.
Now, she didnât look like she was injured. Since she had already recovered, why was she still unconscious?
Zhou Shu walked to Xiaoyuâerâs side and called out softly, âXiaoyuâer!â
Her eyelashes fluttered twice, but she didnât wake up.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. He reached out to grab her wrist and tentatively injected a wisp of spiritual essence.
When his spiritual essence touched her skin, it was as if it had hit a wall and bounced back.
He didnât dare to use too much strength, afraid that he would hurt her. He could only continue to call out in a soft voice. âXiaoyuâer, wake up.â
Her eyelids twitched as if she wanted to wake up. But after a long while, she still didnât open her eyes.
Zhou Shu was helpless. He reached out and tried to take the Divine Stone from her hand to study it.
Just as his hand touched the Divine Stone, Xiaoyuâerâs eyes suddenly opened, and she shouted, âDonât touch it. I got it for my father. If anyone dares to snatch it, Iâll beat them to death!â
Zhou Shu was stunned, and his heart warmed. âXiaoyuâer, look carefully. Do you know who I am?â
The light in her eyes gradually condensed. She looked at Zhou Shu and cheered. âDaddy!â
She jumped into his arms.
Zhou Shu felt as if he had been hit by a raging bull. He drove his spiritual essence to stabilize himself. This daughter of his seemed to be stronger than before.
âDaddy, I missed you so much. I followed your aura for a long time before I found you.â Xiaoyuâer hugged Zhou Shu.
âDaddy, look. I even snatched this for you. Daddy, youâre a forger. This seems to be very important to forgers.â
Xiaoyuâer raised the Divine Stone in her hand, looking as though she was waiting for Zhou Shu to praise her.
âXiaoyuâer, where have you been these days? Also, where did you snatch this Divine Stone?â He noticed that she had used the word âsnatchâ. She was clearly unconscious. How did she snatch it?
âI donât know where I went. There were many big baddies and some good uncles in that place. I snatched this Divine Stone from a big baddie, but I couldnât beat him. Fortunately, an uncle saved me and sent me back,â Xiaoyuâer said.
She only had the expressive ability of a three to four-year-old child, so she spoke a little unclearly.
Zhou Shu pondered and asked, âHave you never seen that place before?â
âNo.â Xiaoyuâer shook her head.
âDo you remember what the uncle who sent you back looks like?â Zhou Shu asked.
âI remember,â Xiaoyuâer said. âHeâs tall and thin. His face is long, and his hair is white.â
Zhou Shu rubbed his glabella. âCan you bring Daddy to the place where you snatched the Divine Stone?â
âI canât go. I donât know the way,â Xiaoyuâer said seriously.
âOh right, I almost forgot.â She stuck out her tongue. With a flip of her hand, she took out something from her grotto-heaven and handed it to Zhou Shu with both hands. âThe uncle who sent me back even gave me this and asked me to bring it to you, Daddy.â
âFor me?â Zhou Shu was surprised. âHe knows me?â
...
Xiaoyuâer shook her head in confusion. She was just a child. How could she understand such a complicated matter?
âDaddy, do you not want it?â She blinked her big eyes.
âOf course⦠I do. I definitely want it. It would be a waste not to take it.â Zhou Shu shook his head and reached out to take the thing that Xiaoyuâer was handing to him.
