Chapter 99 Chapter 99 Long Aotian's Father 13
Zhuozhuo looked at Yan Bufan and was about to speak when he suddenly pinched his mouth, "Dudu?"
Yan Bufan awkwardly changed the subject, "Why tie the jade pendant and the bell together?"
"It looks great, they were meant to be together." Zhuozhuo pointed to the seven gems on the bell rope and said, "Red bell, red beads, green jade pendant, green beads."
Yan Bufan simply thought it was a coincidence that the color of the jade pendant and the gemstone overlapped. After all, seven gemstones represented seven common colors. He pointed to the other five gemstones and said, "Next time, I'll find something of the same color for you to tie on."
He didn’t know if it was Yan Bufan’s illusion, but after he said this, he heard a mocking laugh.
"Okay, thank you, Daddy!" Zhuozhuo said energetically. Then her stomach made a series of gurgling sounds. She stared down at her belly and said worriedly, "Daddy, I haven't eaten in ages. I'm mad."
Yan Bufan stopped thinking about the mocking voice and took out the dry food he had prepared in the mortal world from his bag. He took a bite himself to make sure it was still edible, then soaked the cake in the hot tea on the table and fed it to Zhuozhuo bit by bit. After feeding him, Yan Bufan picked up some fruit from the fruit bowl and gave it to Zhuozhuo.
According to Hua Duoyou, this ship is used to pick up and drop off mortal disciples, so the snacks and fruits placed in the room must be edible by mortals.
Zhuozhuo couldn't stop eating, and his little hands also grabbed the fruit and put it to Yan Bufan's mouth, "It's delicious, Daddy, eat it."
"Thank you, Zhuozhuo." Yan Bufan had never been a big fan of food, but Zhuozhuo ate so deliciously that he couldn't help but eat a lot. By the time they stopped, they had actually finished both plates of fruit.
After recalling how much Zhuozhuo had eaten, Yan Bufan touched her bulging belly seriously, "Are you full? Does your stomach hurt?"
Zhuozhuo waved Yan Bufan's hand away, humming that she felt uncomfortable, then quickly pulled his hand back and placed it on her stomach, saying weakly, "Daddy, rub my belly."
After that, Zhuozhuo enjoyed Yan Bufan's belly rub. Yan Bufan had little experience in taking care of children, so he relied on his understanding of the human body to do the belly rub, and it was quite effective.
But no matter how much he rubbed it, digestion was a slow process. Zhuozhuo was still feeling uncomfortable and tossing and turning in Yan Bufan's arms, with his eyes drooping and his lips pouting, looking like he was about to cry, and he looked pitiful.
Yan Bufan was very upset. He knew Zhuozhuo's appetite, but he hadn't realized in time that she had eaten too much fruit. Unable to bear Zhuozhuo's listless appearance, Yan Bufan carried her to find Hua Duoyou, explained the situation, and asked him for help.
Zhuozhuo rested his little head on Yan Bufan's shoulder, looked at Hua Duoyou and said aggrievedly, "Brother, the fruit is so delicious."
Hua Duoyou felt both distressed and amused, and without saying a word, he cast a spell to alleviate Zhuo Zhuo's condition.
"There are many delicious foods in the world of cultivation. Junior Sister Zhuozhuo has thousands of years to savor them carefully. There's no need to rush to eat." Hua Duo persuaded, not trusting Zhuozhuo's self-control. "If you feel full in the future, come to me and I'll help you."
Yan Bufan glanced at Hua Duoyou and was about to say, "He will be able to learn these techniques soon, so there's no need to bother Hua Duoyou every time," when he heard Zhuozhuo say softly, "Okay, thank you, Senior Brother."
Yan Bufan: “…”
Or maybe he wasn't strong enough, he couldn't even help Zhuo Zhuo when he was too full.
Zhuozhuo didn't notice Yan Bufan's emo. She just felt Hua Duoyou's hand tap her belly, and all the discomfort disappeared. It was simply magical. She grabbed Hua Duoyou's hand, looked around in surprise, and said childishly: "Senior brother is a god!"
"Brother, you're not a deity now," Hua Duoyou laughed, and used his other hand to make hand gestures to demonstrate, "This is just a small spell. Once I officially start practicing, I'll be able to learn it quickly."
Zhuozhuo also stretched out his little hands to learn Huaduoyou's movements. He stumbled at first, but soon got the hang of it.
Hua Duoyou, who was explaining the precautions for the disciple-taking ceremony to Yan Bufan, saw this and praised with a smile, "Junior sister is not only talented, but also has a keen understanding. In time, she will be able to surpass the geniuses in the world of cultivation."
Zhuozhuo didn't quite understand what was said, but she knew she was being praised and was very happy. Her little finger swung towards Huaduo, making a spellcasting gesture, and she said in a baby voice, "Make Senior Brother feel good."
Hua Duoyou was smiling broadly, and just as he was about to praise Zhuozhuo again, he felt a pure spiritual energy descend upon him, cleansing his body and soul. He subconsciously made a defensive move, meeting Zhuozhuo's sparkling eyes. "Brother, are you feeling well?"
After a moment of shock, Hua Duoyou realized that the spiritual energy was from Zhuo Zhuo. He couldn't hide his surprised expression, "How did Junior Sister Zhuo Zhuo do it?" He held Zhuo Zhuo's wrist, sent spiritual energy to investigate, and found that she was still in a state of no cultivation. Only then did he realize that he had done something stupid.
However, this simple little spell can only be learned and used by cultivators who have reached the seventh level of Qi training. This is because only at the seventh level can the spiritual energy stored in the Dantian be sufficient to cast the spell.
With only a small amount of spiritual energy refined within her veins, it was incredible that she could cast this spell. It was as if she had improved upon this fundamental spell, a technique used for countless years in the world of immortal cultivation, drastically reducing the spiritual energy required.
Moreover, the entire improvement process took less than a quarter of an hour, and Hua Duoyou even thought Zhuozhuo was just playing!
Hua Duoyou, who has always been known as a child of destiny and countless people can only look up to him, now understands his peers a little bit. Genius can always easily make people realize their mediocrity.
Zhuozhuo watched Hua Duoyou's expression change curiously until Yan Bufan pulled her hand back. She said softly, "Zhuozhuo did the same as my senior brother, and it worked."
Hua Duoyou: "...So that's how it is, little junior sister is so amazing." She said it so simply, as if anyone can do it, haha.
Zhuozhuo said in a baby voice, "My senior brother taught me so well."
Hua Duoyou was so adorable that his heart trembled. Why could there be such a cute child in the world? How could the heavens be willing to let her into the world! If it were him, he would keep Zhuozhuo by his side and play with her every day!
With an hour to go before they reached the Qingyuan Sect, Yan Bufan finally realized something was wrong with Zhuozhuo's messy hair and carried her back to the house to tidy it up. Hua Duoyou also followed, contributing the Cleansing Technique and a comb.
Even though he had seen the Cleansing Technique clean the blood stains off Yan Bufan, Zhuozhuo couldn't help but jump for joy when he saw himself become clean all of a sudden, shouting, "Brother, Zhuozhuo wants to learn! Zhuozhuo wants to learn!"
Hua Duoyou was worried that Zhuozhuo might accidentally use magic again, which would drain the spiritual energy in her body. So he coaxed her and said, "After you become my disciple, I will teach you how to practice every day."
"No, I'll teach you now and you have to learn now." Zhuozhuo pulled Hua Duoyou's sleeve and almost pulled his coat off.
This was the first time Hua Duoyu faced Zhuo Zhuo's harassment and he had no way to deal with it. After resisting for ten seconds, he was ready to demonstrate the Cleansing Technique.
Yan Bufan grabbed Zhuozhuo's hair and tried to braid it into a small braid, but she jumped around so much that he couldn't even hold onto a strand of hair. Seeing Hua Duoyou defeated, Yan Bufan whispered, "Zhuozhuo, don't move. Daddy isn't very good at braiding hair."
"Okay." Zhuozhuo was obedient for a second, sitting quietly on the chair. Looking at the busy Yan Bufan in the mirror, she suddenly said sweetly, "Zhuozhuo likes daddy!"
Yan Bufan's mouth curled up, and he felt that the soft and smooth hair in his hands that did not obey his command was also cute. He responded proactively for the first time, "Daddy likes Zhuozhuo too."
Zhuozhuo laughed happily, raised his little hand and tapped Yan Bufan's arm, saying childishly: "Little fairy, cast a spell, and daddy will not get sick for a hundred years, will not bleed for a hundred years, and will not feel pain for a hundred years!"
Feeling the wonder of his body and mind being purified by pure spiritual energy, Yan Bufan said, "Thank you, Zhuozhuo. I hope Zhuozhuo will always be healthy, happy, and free."
Hua Duoyou watched the "father and daughter" being affectionate, and was envious of Yan Bufan for having the "magic weapon" to defeat Zhuozhuo, but also felt that Yan Bufan was really "despicable and cold-blooded" - knowing that Zhuozhuo liked to hear him call himself daddy, he never mentioned the word "daddy" on weekdays, but used this to coax her to be obedient.
Yan Bufan, you have such a cruel heart!
In the end, Yan Bufan was unable to braid Zhuozhuo's hair, and only tied it up with a headband. After asking for her consent, Yan Bufan put away the other jewelry he had removed from Zhuozhuo's head.
After passing through a barely perceptible barrier, the spiritual energy instantly became several times denser, and the ship's speed dropped to half its original speed. Yan Bufan knew that they had arrived at Wangchuan Xianzhou, where the Qingyuan Sect was located. He stood on the deck with Zhuozhuo and looked down together.
The view was blocked by clouds and mist. Yan Bufan mobilized his spiritual power to cover his eyes, and only then could he see the scene on the ground clearly.
The city was prosperous and magnificent, with commoners and cultivators living together in harmony. Just as Yan Bufan lamented that the imperial city on earth wasn't even half as prosperous as the immortal city, a conflict broke out between cultivators below. One wielded a sword, the other brandished a whip, and the fight began in public.
Swords flashed, talismans and spells flew everywhere. The people dodged and hid skillfully. The shops on both sides of the street closed their doors one after another. The vendors who did not have time to escape could only watch their goods being destroyed.
Soon, a team of monks in uniform came with swords, arrested the fighting monks, and recorded the damage caused by the two.
Zhuozhuo, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said doubtfully, "These two are bad guys. Learning magic is not for fighting."
"Zhuozhuo is right." Yan Bufan looked at Zhuozhuo's clear and pure eyes and did not ask her how she thought of using spiritual energy to assist in observing the ground. After all, he had learned this method by himself.
Yan Bufan felt Zhuozhuo was terrifyingly strong. He was under immense pressure, worried that he wouldn't be able to keep up with her and would have to watch her learn from other senior brothers. The thought of the two of them drifting apart and becoming increasingly alienated made Yan Bufan want to return to the mortal world immediately.
Hua Duoyou, who had arrived at some point, had adjusted his attitude. After praising Zhuozhuo, he said, "Many people have only learned the basics, haven't even opened the door to cultivation, and yet they think they are superior, acting arrogantly and causing trouble all day long. Don't take such people seriously."
As he spoke, Hua Duoyou laughed, "Junior Sister, don't be fooled by the grand and flashy display of these two men. They might not be able to defeat you."
Zhuozhuo said childishly, "Zhuozhuo doesn't fight, Daddy does. Daddy is the best, he'll kill them all."
Yan Bufan: “…”
Yan Bufan was worried about the image of a murderous maniac in Zhuozhuo's mind, so he said seriously, "Zhuozhuo, Daddy is not good at killing people. Daddy killed people before only because he had to."
Zhuozhuo nodded in agreement and said softly, "It was the bad guys who came to kill Daddy first and then took Zhuozhuo away. Zhuozhuo won't go with anyone else. Zhuozhuo is Daddy's baby!"
Just a few words made Yan Bufan's heart blossom. He suppressed the corners of his mouth and said, "Yes, Zhuozhuo is Daddy's baby."
Hua Duoyou was listening with a sour taste in his mouth. Yan Bufan was getting more and more corny. How could he say such words? Wouldn't it burn his mouth? The next second, Hua Duoyou saw Zhuozhuo happily kissing Yan Bufan. He smiled and said, "Zhuozhuo is also my baby. I only have Zhuozhuo as my biological sister!"
I'm sorry, Master, don't even think about accepting any female disciples from now on!
Zhuozhuo looked at Hua Duoyou and said, "Zhuozhuo only has one senior brother."
Hua Duoyou was a little disappointed that he didn't get to see her, and couldn't help but compare his strengths and weaknesses with Yan Bufan. At the same time, Hua Duoyou darkly comforted himself that Zhuozhuo liked Yan Bufan, perhaps because of the fledgling effect, or perhaps because his original body was in Yan Bufan's hands.
When Zhuozhuo grows to a certain level, these external factors will no longer affect her. By then, he, Hua Duoyou, will be Zhuozhuo's favorite senior brother!
The two adults had endless fantasies about the future, their joys and sorrows not being shared, and Zhuozhuo watched the scenery below with great interest.
The city just now was prosperous, but it was nothing compared to the city behind. If Zhuozhuo had a sufficient vocabulary, she would probably admire the jade buildings, jade palaces, and imperial gardens. Now, she could only let out a continuous "wow wow wow" of exclamation.
More and more monks were entering the city, and they looked more powerful than the two fighting. Some monks gradually flew high on their swords, almost as high as the flying boats, but most of them would actively avoid them. Other flying instruments gradually appeared in the sky. Some would greet Hua Duoyou, but most would ignore them.
The flying boat also flew over several vast uninhabited areas, including mountains, grasslands, swamps and lakes. Hua Duoyou took the opportunity to tell Zhuozhuo about some of the wild beasts, demons and spirit beasts that lived there.
Zhuozhuo said admiringly, "Senior brother knows so much."
Hua Duoyou had already squeezed Yan Bufan aside without leaving any trace, feeling secretly pleased. He said modestly, "These are all common sense. Junior Sister, you've been in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time, so you'll know."
Having said this, it did not stop Hua Duoyu from continuing to show off.
After walking like this for half a day, Hua Duoyou said, "We have arrived at the Qingyuan Sect."
