Chapter 365: I’m Used to Being Beaten

"Change your mind?" She didn't react for a moment.

"marry."

"Ask Qi Zhiheng." Song Ningshu walked out with his hands behind his back. "I'm going back to eat some cakes."

Mo Jinwu had no choice but to take out the cakes he bought when he came here from his spiritual ring and said, "Come back."

Song Ningshu turned his head.

Mo Jinwu put the bag of cakes in her hand and said, "Let's go."

Song Ningshu curved her eyes at him and happily carried the cakes back to the yard.

When they returned to the yard, Qi Yangui was not there, so Song Ningshu put the pastries on the table in the yard and then entered the space.

Qing Xiao saw her come in and asked, "Aning, where did you go back to?"

Song Ningshu smiled at him a little embarrassedly, "I forgot about you. We are in Zhongzhou now, and my father is outside. Do you want to go out?"

I feel like the spiritual energy in the space has become much thinner.

"No hurry, don't you feel anything when you come in?" Qing Xiao smiled.

"The spiritual energy has become thinner. The spiritual energy in the previous space was very rich." Song Ningshu looked elsewhere.

"Over there, there's a small seedling absorbing spiritual energy very quickly, and a small vortex has formed next to it." Qing Xiao pointed behind him, "I was sleeping, but when I noticed something unusual, I wanted to call you, and you just happened to come in."

Song Ningshu walked over to the seedling and said, "This is the seed Yao Nian gave me. She said she had planted it for ten years but it hadn't sprouted."

"The last time I looked at it, it had a small tip and a small bud. It's been a while since I last looked at it, and the growth is very slow."

She squatted down and poked it with her finger, but didn't feel any difference.

The leaves of the seedling trembled.

"The spiritual energy in the space has been almost completely absorbed, but I can't see anything special about it. It looks like the most ordinary and inconspicuous weed on the roadside."

"Since it can absorb so much spiritual energy, it can't be ordinary. The seeds have been planted, so let's wait a little longer."

Song Ningshu nodded and picked a few ripe peaches from the peach tree next to him.

This peach tree was planted with seeds that were thrown in randomly before. It has been left outside all this time. Song Ningshu rarely comes in, and now it has borne fruit.

It seems that the growth rate of plants in space has increased a lot.

Song Ningshu looked at the large ball of light purple fog mixed with lightning in the distance. It was the small ball thrown in before. It was merged into a large ball by space, and was gradually swallowed and digested, becoming a part of space.

She had a premonition that it would probably be completely integrated soon, and that the space would undergo great changes by then.

Qing Xiao picked a peach, condensed a stream of water with his spiritual power, washed it and handed it to her, "Eat it."

"Thank you, Uncle Qing." Song Ningshu took it and stuffed the peach he had picked earlier into Qingxiao's arms. He took a bite of the clean peach and said, "Let's go out."

Qing Xiao looked down at the peach in his arms, then looked at the person who was chewing the fruit, and said helplessly: "Lazy girl."

Song Ningshu smiled at him, and in the blink of an eye, she and Qing Xiao were outside.

In the space, the seedling shook its body.

Qing Xiao took a bamboo basket from the yard and put the peaches in it, "I'm going to find your father."

"Oh." Song Ningshu nodded.

Not long after Qing Xiao left, Qi Yangui came back.

He looked at the person who was sitting on the chair and leisurely chewing the fruit, walked up to her and touched her head, "How was the result?"

"Didn't Sister Fanfan tell you?"

"She went too? I wasn't with her." Qi Yangui bent down and picked her up, then sat on the chair and let her face him.

Song Ningshu finished the remaining two bites and told him the whole story.

"Dad asked me why I changed my mind and postponed the wedding, and then I asked him to ask you."

She poked his chin and said, "It was you who said we were going to get married, and it was also you who said we were going to postpone the wedding. Qi Zhiheng, will your father beat you?"

Qi Yangui grabbed her fingers and kneaded them gently. "Go ahead and beat me. It seems like this could be considered as going back on one's word. You deserve to be beaten."

"Are you used to being beaten?"

Qi Yangui smiled and said, "It's okay. Master won't beat me up. He just called me over to let him 'teach' me a few moves."

Song Ningshu lay in his arms and rubbed his cheek, "Actually, when I was picking out the fragments of my grandfather's soul, I seemed to hear his unconscious groaning."

"After being sewn onto the exterior of another ghost's soul for so many years, being picked out like this is like having your flesh peeled off alive."

"But I didn't dare tell my grandmother."

"Grandfather must have been in great pain to make a sound."

"I said it with all my heart, but I'm not sure I can put the pieces back together. Fortunately, I still have the soul-gathering beast, Bu San."

Qi Yangui patted her on the back and said, "Aning is amazing."

She lay quietly in his arms for a while, then raised her head to shake off her thoughts and said, "The Lust Demon has been taken away for interrogation by my grandmother. I think we can find some information about Gucheng Mountain."

"Gucheng Mountain suddenly appeared to the west of Zhongzhou City. After my grandfather led people there, Gucheng Mountain sank into the ground."

"The monks who went with us have all lost their memories. The Song family asked them a few years ago, but they didn't find any useful information."

Qi Yangui pinched her face and said, "We'll go over and take a look in two days. If that doesn't work, digging three feet underground is also a good idea."

Song Ningshu grabbed his sleeve and pulled his hand off. "Hmm... Is it possible that my grandparents have tried this method before?"

"Then think of another way." He kissed her face.

Song Ningshu helplessly let him do whatever he wanted to her.

Qi Yangui couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.

Song Ningshu glanced at him.

The two of them were intimate in the yard for a while, and soon they noticed the presence of Mo Jinwu and Song Xianning coming towards them.

Qi Yangui put Song Ningshu on a chair and sat her down. He pulled another chair and sat upright next to her. He pretended to take out the tea set and started to make tea.

Song Ningshu laughed, "Qi Zhiheng, you are such a coward."

Qi Yangui did not refute. If the master came in and saw him hugging Aning and acting so clingy and scoundrelly, he would definitely call him out and give him some more "instructions".

"Sometimes it's good to be a little cowardly."

Mo Jinwu came in with Song Xianning and glanced at Qi Yangui.

"Daddy, Mommy."

"Master, Master's Wife."

Mo Jinwu nodded slightly.

Song Xianning smiled and nodded, then broke away from Mo Jinwu's hand, walked to Song Ningshu, held her face and looked at her.

"Our Aning has become more beautiful again."

"My mother always praises me."

"Aning, don't you like to hear it? What mother said is the truth." Song Xianning pulled a chair over and sat next to her.

Song Ningshu's eyes curved slightly, "I like it."

Before she knew she was her biological mother, her mother loved to praise her. Whenever she was in the sect, she would always take her to Yanxiu Peak to accompany her.

I would also give her a lot of beautiful clothes, buy her a lot of cakes that she liked, and even make them myself if she was in the mood.

At that time, when Song Ningshu looked at her, he sometimes thought, if only she was not Song Xianxian's daughter, but Aunt Ning's daughter.

But she was just thinking about it. Later, when she found out that she was her mother, she was shocked but also very happy.

"I prefer my mother," she added.

"Our Aning is so sweet."

The mother and daughter were being affectionate there, while Qi Yangui was sitting upright pouring tea for Mo Jinwu.

Mo Jinwu shook the teacup and looked at the clear tea in it.

He raised his eyes and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot from your trip."

Qi Yangui smiled, hiding the loneliness in his eyes, "Since I have inherited the legacy from my elders, I should make them feel at ease."

"Who did you meet?"

"My father, mother, the God of Water, the God of Ice, and the God of Thunder."

Mo Jinwu looked at him sitting upright and found it a little funny. "Don't I understand your personality? You've never been able to sit still since you were a child. There's no need to pretend like this."

The eldest disciple has been lazy since he was young. He would never stand up straight if he could lean on something, and would never sit upright if he could stretch his legs.

He pretended to be well behaved in front of him, but in the blink of an eye he couldn't stand or sit properly.

Mo Jinwu had seen it many times in secret, but he didn't expose it.

Be casual in private and act presentable in public.

Qi Yangui leaned lazily in his chair after hearing this. "Isn't this just to behave better in front of you? And to make you more satisfied with me, so that you can marry Aning to me soon."

Song Ningshu turned to look at him when he heard this. Wasn't he afraid just now? How could he speak so boldly now?

Mo Jinwu took a sip of tea and said, "If I wasn't satisfied with you, I would have given you to Cang Ji to raise the day after I picked you up. Why would I teach you personally?"
