Chapter 217 Law Expulsion
Following the direction her godfather pointed, Qiuqiu discovered that the red, thread-like Gu worms inside her body had slithered to her ankles. The golden light that Uncle Cat had left her had completely vanished.
Chiu Chiu exclaimed in shock, "Godfather, don't say such terrifying things in such a cheerful tone! I'm scared!"
A small iron fist taught Song Qizhao a lesson.
The life-saving golden light that the Great Immortal Meow left for Qiuqiu could only be used once, and most of it was used on Chen He.
The Gu worms, controlled by witchcraft, possessed a mysterious power that destroyed Qiuqiu's innate life-saving abilities. If it weren't for Jinli's innate good fortune and the protection of the laws, she would have died the moment she left the capital.
Song Qizhao sighed, "You really should thank your family in this world. If it weren't for the heartfelt wishes you received from the people at your first birthday party, you would have turned into dried fish long ago."
Little did Qiuqiu know that she had been hovering on the brink of death all along, and like a coward, she shrank back to Song Qizhao's side. "Godfather, can you get rid of it?"
"The bad bug is going to eat Chiu Chiu!"
Song Qizhao said helplessly, "What wants to take over your body is not the Gu worm, but the law."
"Is this law more powerful than yours?"
“That’s not how you compare them…” Song Qizhao’s pride wouldn’t allow him to admit to Qiuqiu that he was no good, but because of the limitations of different worlds, he really… couldn’t compare to her.
Qiuqiu's body should have died at birth, but she was forced to remain in the human world because of her existence. Now, Qiuqiu is weak due to being infected by a Gu, and according to the laws, she has been kicked out of the small world based on the physical condition of an ordinary child.
The world is still turning, so this bug naturally needs to be fixed. Therefore, the best way is to let this body die according to its original course.
Song Qizhao patted Qiuqiu's head with a wry smile: "You are the biggest bug in the system."
Chiu Chiu tried to rush into her body, but an invisible wall blocked her path and flung her far away with a thud. If Song Qizhao hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been sent flying.
"It's not that your godfather won't help you, it's that the rules here exclude you."
Chuchu, all cute and cuddly, raises its little fist: "Chuchu, hit me!"
The little dumpling paced anxiously in circles, her eyes reddening. Finally, she squatted down at Song Qizhao's feet, wiping away her tears: "My mother loves to cry. If I die, she'll definitely cry herself to death. And my father, he'll definitely follow her in death. My brothers are all stupid. How will they survive without Qiuqiu? Waaaaah! Grandpa, Grandpa, where are you?!"
And there's Fu Ning, Sister Xin Yu, Uncle Guo Shi, Brother Gao Xun...
"What will they do without me?!"
Song Qizhao sighed deeply, squatted down to be at eye level with Qiuqiu, and carefully asked her about her life here: "Is Qiuqiu happy here?"
"Mmm!" Chuchu nodded vigorously. "I'm so happy!"
Song Qizhao: "And what about the Koi Clan?"
Chiu Chiu nodded again: "I'm happy too."
"Since everyone's happy, it's fine for Chiu Chiu to go somewhere else..."
"no the same!"
Before Song Qizhao could finish speaking, Qiuqiu interrupted him loudly, "Of course it's different. I'm young, not stupid."
The little dumpling hugged Song Qizhao and whispered to him, "This is family, family that belongs only to Qiuqiu, the only fish. The koi fish are also family, but not just Qiuqiu... I'll stay here and go back to be with you after I die."
"Aren't you already dead?"
Chirp stomped her foot angrily, "I didn't die! I didn't die of old age!"
She only acknowledges dying of old age!
Then she started rolling around, from one end to the other, and then back again, over and over again...
Forced into a corner, Song Qizhao squatted down and rubbed his temples. Luckily, he and Fu Niu didn't have any children!
"Enough!"
Chirp scrambled to its feet, blinked its eyes expectantly, and asked, "I don't have to die, right?"
"You die..." After meeting Qiuqiu's fierce gaze, Song Qizhao wisely changed his words, "Why hasn't anyone come in to check on you while you've been lying here for so long?"
Chiu Chiu was stunned. Right, her dad, her brother, and her sister?
Song Qizhao stood up: "Let's go, let's go out and look for them."
If Qiuqiu's family cares about her so much, they wouldn't leave her lying here all alone; something must have happened.
She cries her lungs out when something happens to her, but if something happens to her family, the sky will probably be ripped open!
Qiuqiu grabbed Song Qizhao's hand and ran outside, shouting, "Godfather, hurry up!"
"You little heartless one."
Fine, I'll spoil her one more time since she called me "Dad"!
When they opened the door, the two were immediately stunned by what they saw.
"They locked you in the cellar?"
Song Qizhao was furious. He hadn't noticed the room was lit until he opened the door and found it pitch black outside. Since they could see things others couldn't, they naturally recognized it as a man-made cellar.
"Building a house in a cellar?" Song Qizhao asked in confusion. "Where did they take you?"
Chiu Chiu put her hands in her pockets and said, "I was unconscious, and I didn't open my eyes to see anything!"
A sense of déjà vu washes over me...
Song Qizhao immediately surrendered: "Okay, okay, shall we go out and look for them?"
Emerging from the cellar, the once quiet and peaceful village was now a scene of scorched earth, with ruins and broken walls visible everywhere.
Song Qizhao was almost certain that Qiuqiu's family had been very good to her; even in this situation, they had managed to protect her body so well.
He lowered his head and looked into Chiu Chiu's eyes, staring at Chiu Chiu's little mouth that was gradually turning into a wavy line. Suddenly, an ominous premonition rose in his heart...
Three, two, one...
"Waaaaah, my dad's gone! I want my older brother! Waaaaah, sister, sister!"
Song Qizhao: "Receive!"
Chuchu pouted: "Godfather..."
"Don't call me Dad, I'm scared." It wasn't that Song Qizhao didn't want to help her, but he couldn't meddle in the affairs of this world. Once other world laws intervened, it would cause chaos in this world. At best, the world would be reset; at worst, the entire world would shatter.
"Chirp chirp, are you really not going back with godfather?"
Chiu Chiu shook her head, saying she would go back after she died of old age!
Song Qizhao said helplessly, "I can find a way to keep you in this world, but it will also suppress your abilities. In other words, the dangers you will encounter in this world in the future are unknown. Can you accept that? Your godfather can't guarantee that you will die of old age."
Chiu Chiu readily agreed: "I'm willing. I want to stay here to protect them. They're all so weak; they'll die without Chiu Chiu."
The world had begun to reject Song Qizhao's existence, and his time was running out. He extracted half of Qiuqiu's luck and molded it into a small golden figure. The figure consciously entered Qiuqiu's body.
Chiu Chiu's limbs began to turn transparent, "Godfather..."
The sound grew fainter, and the little figure lying on the bed twitched its fingers.
The golden figure represents Chiu Chiu, and by banishing the golden figure, one can deceive the laws of this world.
"Chirp chirp, this is all the help your godfather can give you. The rest of the journey is up to you."
Song Qizhao's body became transparent and finally disappeared. The woman who had been kneeling devoutly on the other side of the cellar straightened up. Before her was a clay statue of a deity. The statue must have been very old; its face was no longer visible.
Yuanmu raised his hands above his head: "Thank you, God, for bringing hope to our people!"
"Someone, please summon the goddess!"
