"Uh...Zhiling, look at it for yourself."
Jiang Deng hurriedly released Jiang Lingyun and Qi Mei.
"Mother!"
As soon as she saw the lively Jiang Lingyun, Jiang Zhiling immediately rushed up and hugged her.
"Zhiling, it's okay, mother is fine now."
Jiang Lingyun, who was almost knocked to the ground by Jiang Zhiling, struggled to steady herself. She stroked Jiang Zhiling's hair, tears flickering in the corners of her eyes.
Although her soul had left her body before, she had seen everything and knew what these two children had sacrificed to revive her...
"Deng'er, thank you."
Jiang Lingyun raised her eyes to look at Jiang Deng, her voice choked with sobs.
Jiang Deng waved his hand generously, "Why are you being polite? We are all family."
The three of them smiled at each other.
"Huh?"
Jiang Deng suddenly realized something was wrong. He stared at Jiang Lingyun and began to circle around her.
Jiang Zhiling wondered, "Sister, what's wrong? Hasn't Mother finished treating me yet?"
"That's not the case. I just found that my aunt seemed to have changed after she came back to life."
Touching her chin, Jiang Deng looked thoughtful. Then she took out the spirit ball she had kept in the bottom of her box and handed it to Jiang Lingyun, "Aunt, try submerging your consciousness into it."
"oh."
Jiang Lingyun was completely confused. She followed Jiang Deng's instructions and immersed herself in it.
Then, two soft lights lit up in the spirit ball in Jiang Lingyun's palm.
One green, one blue, representing the dual spiritual roots of wood and water!
"What's going on?!"
Jiang Zhiling's eyes widened suddenly. "I remember that my mother didn't have any spiritual roots before, so she couldn't practice."
Jiang Deng retracted the spirit ball and scratched his head. "Hmm... maybe the vitality entered my aunt's body, changing her constitution and indirectly improving her talent for cultivation."
"Great! Mother can now practice!"
Jiang Zhiling grabbed Jiang Lingyun, who still had a confused look on her face, and jumped up and down, with unconcealable happiness between her brows.
Jiang Deng was also happy.
As her reputation in the Ten Realms grows, more and more people will surely find out the location of the Jiang Mansion. She can mobilize the cultivators of the Taichu Sword Sect to guard the Jiang Mansion, but relying on others will always lead to mistakes. It is safest for her aunt to be able to protect herself.
Thinking of this, Jiang Deng immediately found a set of exercises suitable for practicing dual spiritual roots from the Sutra Library of the Eight Gates World, as well as sword techniques, spells, talismans, etc. that matched his aunt's qualifications.
In short, Jiang Lingyun learns whatever she wants to learn.
Jiang Deng also thoughtfully selected several low-level spiritual weapons and pills that Jiang Lingyun could use, put them all into a storage bag, and handed it to Jiang Lingyun.
"Aunt, you will be able to use these things in the future. After you draw the energy into your body, don't forget to recognize the storage bag and the spiritual tools inside as your masters."
Jiang Lingyun evaded the question, "...Deng'er, there are so many things. How can an aunt, as an elder, feel comfortable carrying them?"
"Don't worry, mother. My sister is very rich."
Under Jiang Zhiling's persuasion, Jiang Lingyun finally accepted the things.
This made Qi Mei, who was standing beside her, very jealous. She couldn't help but grab Jiang Deng's sleeve and asked eagerly, "Hey, where are the clothes you promised to give me?"
"Oh, yes."
Jiang Deng slapped her head, only then remembering this. She searched through the pile of clothes Zhan Ji had given her in the Eight Gates World and asked, "What color clothes do you like?"
"Black, black!" Qi Mei said excitedly.
Shi Tongling asked curiously, "Why is it black?"
Qi Mei's face was filled with a happy smile. "Why else? Of course it's because it's dirt-resistant! Even if I haven't washed clothes for a year, no one would notice."
Everyone: “…”
How untidy is this kid?
Jiang Deng touched his nose and complained, "Yes, I can't see it's dirty, but I can smell it."
Even as he said this, Jiang Deng still took out a set of black clothes and held it in front of Qi Mei to compare. "It's a little long, but it doesn't matter. I'll alter it right away."
As he spoke, Jiang Deng took out the Chilian Sword and was about to shorten both arms and legs of the clothes. The length could be solved, but as for the width?
Well... she can't solve it, so let Qimei wear it as it is.
Seeing that Jiang Deng was about to destroy the clothes by swinging his sword, Jiang Lingyun hurried forward, took the clothes from Jiang Deng's hand, and said with a smile: "Let me do it. I am good at needlework."
"...Then I'll trouble you, Auntie."
Jiang Deng touched his nose, put away the Chilian Sword, and instructed Master Tongling beside him, "Tongling, I have a favor to ask of you. Once Auntie has absorbed the Qi into her body, use the teleportation array to send her back. Be sure not to be discovered by the Third Elder during this time."
Shi Tongling patted his chest and assured, "I didn't ask—wait, where are you going, Boss?"
"I have to go out for something tomorrow morning, so you guys just stay here and continue practicing."
"Why don't you take us with you?"
Shi Tongling and Jiang Zhiling immediately surrounded them.
Jiang Deng explained, "The secret realm I'm going to next is inaccessible to cultivators in the Return to Void Realm. Tong Ling, even if you're hiding in the Eight Gates World, you can't help me much. It's better for you to stay here with Zhiling and look after my aunt. Besides..."
"I have another thing to tell you."
Jiang Deng lowered his voice and told Shi Tongling and Jiang Zhiling about his plan against the Puppet Cult. Their eyes lit up after hearing what he said.
Especially Shi Tongling, her eyes were so bright that it was scary.
He is worthy of being the boss she chose!
It was just some minor robbery before, but this time they're going to wipe out the whole family! How wicked! She loves it!
If Jiang Deng heard what Shi Tongling was thinking, she would be speechless.
She just wanted to steal the God-Slaying Bow, so how could that be considered the extermination of an entire clan? Besides, how could destroying an evil cultivator's clan be considered unethical? It was clearly to eliminate harm for the people!
"Hey, sister, what is this?"
Jiang Zhiling noticed the puppet in the corner, looked around and asked.
Jiang Deng explained calmly: "Oh, this, I extorted it from the Third Elder."
"Sister, have you named it?"
"No, it seems like we need to come up with a name, but the question is what should we call it?"
"Just call..."
Looking at the puppet's big dark eyes, and the corners of its mouth raised to a weird degree, coupled with two lumps of blush, there is a hint of funnyness in the weirdness.
Jiang Deng and Jiang Zhiling said in unison: "Just call me... Happy Nut!"
——
The next morning.
A powerful voice rang out from outside the protective formation, "Xiahou Guest, it's time for us to head to the leader's residence."
“…Here I come.”
Jiang Deng immediately woke up from his cultivation state. Without disturbing Jiang Zhiling and others who were still cultivating, he opened the door and the formation and walked out of the mansion.
Looking at the dozens of people in front of him, Jiang Deng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you all guests under the command of the Third Elder?"
