Chapter 357 Heavenly Dao Negotiation
The matter at Cangcheng Pass has come to a temporary end, and Qiuqiu has been here for three months.
It is already late autumn, but the weather at Cangcheng Pass is much colder than in the capital.
The prison cart carrying the Turkic Khan was accompanied by Qiuqiu and his companions.
This departure lasted for a long time.
It will be Qiuqiu's birthday in just a few days after we return to the capital.
Yun Jinglan hadn't seen Qiuqiu for half a year, and she held Qiuqiu tightly every day. It wasn't just her; it seemed like everyone in the capital was flocking to the Wenyang Marquis's residence every day.
Every day, Chiu Chiu is surrounded by a group of people, experiencing both joy and pain.
She's being watched for twelve hours straight; how is she supposed to find the Heavenly Dao?
Wouldn't it scare them if I just collapsed?
Chiu Chiu sadly took a bite of the fried dough stick that Gu Qinghuai handed her, smacked her lips twice, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
Now I'm not conflicted anymore.
That damned Heavenly Dao took the initiative to come looking for her!
Chiu Chiu's fainting spell was nothing serious, but it scared the others half to death. Gu Qinghuai was the first to rush over and went straight for Chiu Chiu's throat.
I thought he had choked and passed out, but the scattered bits of fried dough sticks were still in his mouth.
"He didn't choke!" Gu Qinghuai shouted anxiously, "Doctor! Where's the doctor?"
Chiu Chiu was unaware that she had caused a commotion; she was currently flying.
Her soul floated up and slowly flew towards the sky.
"Wow, am I going to meet God?"
"No, you saw me."
Chiu Chiu stared at the lazy man in front of her for a moment in silence, then asked, "Could you not act like my godfather?"
The man scratched his head sheepishly: "Sorry, I haven't decided on my human form yet."
He hasn't met many people. Since Qiuqiu isn't willing, he can find someone else.
Chirp: "..."
"You can't even use my dad's!"
Why are they targeting her family?!
Heaven couldn't do anything about this little fish, but it was still quite kind, and in the end, it chose to transform into the appearance of a strange man.
Chirp was satisfied now.
The premise is that she didn't know that this appearance was the manifestation of the former Heavenly Dao. That's right, the former Heavenly Dao used this face to strike Chuchu with lightning!
The vast expanse was made up of clouds. With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Dao conjured up a reclining chair that looked and felt quite comfortable to the touch.
He lay down over Chirp and half-closed his eyes, feeling satisfied.
Chiu Chiu glared angrily at Tian Dao. Was this his way of treating guests?
She felt that she had to negotiate with the other party without losing face, so she bent over and started assembling a chair with the little cloud-shaped object.
Heaven didn't care about her and just lay there leisurely.
Finally, Qiuqiu assembled a crooked recliner and lay down comfortably. Perhaps influenced by the ways of heaven, she also became lazy.
The Heavenly Dao suddenly spoke: "You want to stay here?"
Without hesitation, Chuchu said, "Keep!"
Fearing that Heaven would not approve, she quickly added, "I'll leave after I die in this world, and I won't cause any more trouble."
Tiandao opened his half-closed eyes and glanced at Qiuqiu: "You didn't cause any trouble."
The Way of Heaven operates purely according to the principles of Heaven and Earth; if the Way of Heaven harbors selfishness, it ceases to be the Way of Heaven.
If morality is lost, the world is doomed.
He should thank Chuchu.
"You can stay here, but you'll have to exchange something for it."
Chiu Chiu touched herself all over; she had nothing of value. Even among the Koi clan, she was a penniless little devil with no assets.
All she has is this plump, juicy fish meat!
Tiandao seemed to be able to see what Qiuqiu was thinking, and he said softly, "I don't eat fish."
It's a fat fish that's become sentient.
Chirp: "What do you want?"
"Use the remaining half of your fortune in exchange," the Heavenly Dao explained. "I'm rather lazy and sometimes I doze off. Use your fortune to help me protect this small world for sixty years. After sixty years, I will arrange for you to die peacefully and return to the Koi Clan."
The fact that time was no longer shared between the smaller worlds didn't affect Chiu Chiu's return to her clan. Back home, she was still the youngest and most powerful fish in the Koi Clan.
"Taking away your luck will also have some side effects. For example, the people around you who are bad to you will no longer have bad luck. Your family and friends will no longer hear your true feelings."
"Huh?" Chuchu was completely stunned. "You heard my...inner thoughts?"
Whose advice should we listen to? What should we listen to?
Then she wouldn't have any secrets at all!
This world is bugged!
Heaven's Dao: "You don't know?"
Does she really think she's telepathically connected with everyone?
Chiu Chiu puffed out her cheeks: "No way!"
"Sure, but are you going to change it?"
"Change!" Qiuqiu didn't expect things to go so smoothly. She thought of the scene when she accompanied Yun Xiaofeng to study military books at Cangcheng Pass. "Are you planning to trap me?"
Heaven shook its head. No, it was too lazy to think about it.
"Are you going back?"
Hurry up and leave, he can sleep for sixty years if he leaves!
The eternal and unchanging laws of nature mean that sixty years is but a fleeting moment. He wanted to take a nap.
What was that cunning law again?
"I hereby appoint you as the spokesperson for Heaven and Earth. Go forth."
He didn't even give Qiuqiu a chance to react. With a flick of his finger, Qiuqiu slowly fell towards the sky.
Chirp: "Aaaaaah! I'll be back..."
Heaven's Way: "Goodbye!"
One day in heaven is equivalent to three years on earth.
Chirp only went for half a day, but a year had passed in the human world.
Princess Roujia of the Wenyang Marquis family had been in a coma for a year, and even the most renowned doctors from all over the country could not cure her. She was kept alive by a little sugar water and bowl after bowl of medicinal soup every day.
Emperor Changshun told the story of everything that Qiuqiu had done by accident.
People all believed that Qiuqiu was a fairy from heaven who came to save humanity. Now that the world is at peace, she has returned to heaven.
More and more people remembered Qiuqiu, and Emperor Changshun did not stop them.
The Grand Master said that as Qiuqiu's bond with this world deepens, she will return.
He still fondly remembers the days when a little dumpling and her friends would chatter away and flit around everyone.
In that year, Su Junyao and Yun Jinglan aged considerably, and fine lines appeared at the corners of their eyes.
Yun Jinglan had lost a lot of weight, and her clothes hung loosely on her body. She took care of Qiuqiu herself every day, without relying on anyone else.
Looking at her chubby, fair-skinned daughter on the bed, her eyes welled up with tears again.
“Chirp chirp, Mother knows you are a little koi fish, here to save our whole family.” Yun Jinglan held Chirp chirp’s hand, the warm touch telling her that her daughter was still alive. “That person said you would leave here and return to your own world.”
"But your parents and brother are here, where are you going..."
“Chirp…”
Despite her tears, Yun Jinglan didn't forget to feed Qiuqiu her medicine.
The dark brown medicine flowed down Qiuqiu's lips and into her mouth, its slight bitterness constantly stimulating her taste buds.
Chiu Chiu's consciousness gathered, and her first reaction was... How bitter!
"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"
Yun Jinglan's hand trembled, and the bowl shattered on the ground, splashing dark brown medicine all over her.
"Chirp, chirp?"
Is Chiu Chiu awake? Or is it just her imagination?
Chirp opened its eyes with a pitiful look: "Mother, it's so bitter!"
Why is Chiu Chiu drinking medicine as soon as she wakes up?
Yun Jinglan sat blankly on the edge of the bed, seemingly still reeling from the shock.
Dongxiao and Zhuniang, who were serving outside the door, came in when they heard the noise. At a glance, they saw Qiuqiu moving on the bed and rushing towards the lady.
"Chirp chirp is awake!"
"Chirp chirp is awake!"
The joyful shouts brought the Marquis's mansion, which had been silent for a year, back to life.
Yun Jinglan hugged Qiuqiu tightly, saying, "Mother knew you would come back!"
Her daughter is finally back!
She chose family in this world!
The finale airs tomorrow, followed by a short first-person epilogue. The epilogue will likely be about Qiuqiu after she's grown up—a story of her becoming the family's darling!
