After more than two hundred years of being together, how could Xiao Youling not see that Lu Xingzhou was unhappy? She sighed inwardly and gently took the man's hand: "Let's go back to the room and talk about it."
"Jiaojiao, have fun by yourself. Your mother and father are going out first," Xiao Youling said, and then she and Lu Xingzhou left the room hand in hand.
As he reached the door, Lu Xingzhou turned back to remind him, "Don't let playthings distract you from your studies; remember to focus on your cultivation."
Lu Jiaojiao quickly nodded and promised, "Father, I will definitely cultivate diligently."
As soon as her parents left, Lu Jiaojiao sprawled out on the bed without any regard for her image: "Indeed, only my mother is my father's true love, and I am just the accident."
He clearly came specifically to invite her to dinner, but then just left her like that.
No one knew that, ever since Lu Jiaojiao could remember, whenever her parents were free, the three of them ate together every day, and Lu Xingzhou cooked every meal himself.
Of course, this was not because Lu Jiaojiao was particularly favored; after all, this custom had been going on for one or two hundred years before she was born.
Xiao Youling pulled Lu Xingzhou back to their room and affectionately wrapped her arms around his slender waist: "Zhouzhou, why are you unhappy again?"
Lu Xingzhou uttered two words lightly: "No."
"You're kidding me. If you don't want to tell me, then forget it. I don't want to know either," Xiao Youling said with a feigned snort, releasing her grip on the other person's waist.
"Ling'er, don't be angry, I'll tell you."
Seeing that his wife was angry, Lu Xingzhou quickly pulled her into his arms, his large hand tightly gripping her slender waist, and asked in a deep voice:
"I overheard your conversation with Jiaojiao just now. Is she able to contact people from your previous world through that thing called the system?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Youling showed an expression of "I knew it," as she had guessed it was about this matter again: "Didn't I promise you that I would never leave? You really don't need to be so nervous."
Putting aside whether Xia Qingqing's current timeline is the same as her previous life's timeline, even if she could return to her original world, she wouldn't want to go back.
When Xiao Youling first transmigrated to this world, she may have thought about going back.
But she has been working hard in the cultivation world for over two hundred years, and has finally reached the Refinement Void stage and become the peak master of the Xuan Tian Sect. How could she easily give up all of this? She is not a fool.
Xiao Youling looked up and stared straight at the man, saying, "Besides, you and Jiaojiao are both here. Where can I go?"
After hearing his wife's words, Lu Xingzhou's lips curled into a handsome smile.
It was worth all the hardships he went through to get his wife pregnant with their daughter.
Ultimately, Lu Xingzhou was never very confident about his position in Xiao Youling's heart.
......
On the other side, Xia Qingqing received the spirit-testing stone and pills sent by Lu Jiaojiao.
Lu Jiaojiao: [Sister Qingqing, remember to return the spirit-testing stones to me after you've used them up. Those pills were a gift from my mother.]
Xia Qingqing was completely confused when she saw the message. She thought the pills were given to her by Lu Jiaojiao. At first, she wondered why the girl had given her more than a dozen bottles of pills when she had said she could only choose three items.
So it was given to me by the little girl's mother. But why would she give me a pill?
Putting aside the efficacy of these pills, the jade bottles containing them alone are no ordinary items. Receiving such a valuable gift from the other party suddenly made me feel uneasy.
After thinking about it, Xia Qingqing decided to ask Lu Jiaojiao for clarification.
Xia Qingqing: [Jiaojiao, why did your mother give me pills?]
Lu Jiaojiao: [Maybe it's because my mother likes you. Sister Qingqing, please don't be shy. My mother is an alchemist. She has a lot of pills. Alchemy is easier for her than eating. The pills she gave you are all low-grade pills. My mother doesn't need them at all.]
Xia Qingqing: [Okay, then please ask Jiaojiao to thank your mother for me.]
Looking at the dozen or so jade bottles in front of her, Xia Qingqing couldn't hide her smile. This was truly a case of wealth falling from the sky while one was at home.
She stopped worrying about why the other party gave her the pills. Big shots don't need reasons to do things, and a nobody like her should just accept it quietly.
Xia Qingqing put all the pills into the system warehouse, and then picked up the fist-sized transparent stone.
Lu Jiaojiao told her that when a person with spiritual roots holds this spirit-testing stone, various colors will appear on the stone, and different colors correspond to different spiritual roots.
For example, red represents the fire elemental root, yellow represents the earth elemental root, green represents the wood elemental root, blue represents the water elemental root, and gold represents the metal elemental root.
In the cultivation world, those who possess a single spiritual root are geniuses, one in ten thousand; most people have dual or multiple spiritual roots.
But after holding it for a long time, Xia Qingqing found that the spirit-testing stone did not change at all.
"Sigh," Xia Qingqing sighed. Oh well, it's probably just a generation gap between different planes.
Although her hopes were dashed, Xia Qingqing wasn't too disappointed, since she hadn't had high hopes to begin with.
He then sent the used spirit-testing stone back to Lu Jiaojiao and explained the test results to her.
Xia Qingqing: [Jiaojiao, here's your spirit stone back. I didn't find any spiritual roots, so forget about the cultivation technique we talked about before. It's useless to me now.]
After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from Lu Jiaojiao, Xia Qingqing simply closed the system panel and began to study the pills that Lu Jiaojiao's mother had given her.
She hadn't looked closely at these jade vases before, but now that she did, she was stunned.
Can anyone tell her why these jade vases are engraved with simplified Chinese characters?
Could it be that the writing system of the cultivation world Lu Jiaojiao lives in is the same as that of the modern world? Don't be ridiculous, it's impossible.
That means there must be a predecessor from the modern world who traveled to the cultivation world.
Then, considering the pills that Lu Jiaojiao's mother suddenly gave her, it's obvious who this transmigrator is.
She knew it! No one would give her something for no reason. It must be that Lu Jiaojiao's mother saw the modern toys she gave Lu Jiaojiao and it stirred up her homesickness, so she gave her fellow townsman a little gift.
Of course, whether they are from the same hometown is still debatable, since even if they are both from modern times, they may not be from the same dimension.
Having understood all this, Xia Qingqing decided to send a gift to Lu Jiaojiao's mother in return.
Previously, considering that Lu Jiaojiao was a child, she only sent her snacks suitable for children. Now, of course, she's sending her barbecue, beer, fried chicken, cola, braised dishes, hot pot... all packaged up and sent over.
Whether Lu Jiaojiao's mother would eat it or not was not within Xia Qingqing's consideration; it was just a token of her affection.
