Back at the Qin family mansion, Qin Zhi and Jiang Si immediately fed the resurrection grass to Bixi.
The resurrection herb was indeed powerful; as soon as it was fed to Bixi, his body began to change.
The four legs, which had originally been stitched up with surgical sutures, emitted a soft light under the effect of the resurrection herb, and the previously visible wounds healed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Zhi and Jiang Si channeled spiritual energy into the Bixi.
After losing, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't too late.
With Bixi's abilities, he should wake up tomorrow.
After they finished doing everything, the Fox King of Qingqiu strolled over and examined Bixi, clicking his tongue and saying, "How did this ancient divine beast, the good son of that lecherous dragon, end up like this?"
Judging from this, it seems like he knows Bixi's father.
Feeling relieved, Jiang Si found herself in the mood for gossip: "Judging from what Mother said, it seems she knows his father?"
The Fox King of Qingqiu was lost in memories. "I guess so? He used to pursue me back then."
Qin Zhi and Jiang Si's expressions instantly turned ugly.
Jiang Si asked hesitantly, "You didn't agree, did you?"
Please, please don't let that lecherous dragon be their father!
The Fox King of Qingqiu glanced at them, frowned, and said with displeasure, "What are you thinking? How could this be?"
"And you two need to think about this: neither of you has any fox demon characteristics, which proves that at least the other half is at least human."
The two breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter who that unknown father is, as long as he's not some random nobody.
Jiang Si finally accepted that she was born of a demon, but she couldn't accept that her father was also a demon.
I'm too tired today, so I'll have to save all the reminiscing for tomorrow.
They were all cultivators who valued family ties, but unlike ordinary people, they would not weep uncontrollably or break down in tears.
The housekeeper was used to the boss having multiple people come out from time to time, and had already prepared guest rooms before Qin Zhi gave any instructions.
They woke up early the next morning and went straight to find Bixi.
Upon arrival, I saw Bixi transformed into human form, sitting emaciated on a small sofa to the side, staring blankly out the window, seemingly lost in thought.
It was early winter, and being in the mountains, the temperature was quite low, with a thin layer of snow falling outside.
Jiang Si walked over quietly and asked cautiously, "Are you alright?"
Bixi's voice was somewhat mournful. After a long while, he came to his senses and said, "Thank you for saving my life."
His smile looked forced.
Breathing like a tortoise is not his intention; he has the blood of a divine tortoise, and breathing like a tortoise is his instinct.
Once in a state of tortoise-like breathing, even gods and demons cannot kill you.
Otherwise, Jiang Si and the others would never have saved his life.
Jiang Si waved her hand, "Don't say that, we're friends after all."
Qin Zhi wasn't going to wallow in self-pity; he asked directly, "Who beat you up like this?"
His lack of urgency to know the answer doesn't mean he doesn't want to know it.
The thought of a formidable adversary lurking in the shadows, whose identity he didn't know whether was friend or foe, made him uneasy.
No, it can now be proven that, at the very least, this is not a respectable act.
Bixi laughed as if he were crying, his eyes slightly red: "That lewd dragon, perhaps."
“There is an old saying in the mortal world: even tigers don’t eat their cubs. I never imagined that my father would never care for me after I was born, and that the first time he came to find me was to take my life.” Bixi paused for a moment and said, “No, not only to take my life, but also to take away my divine status.”
Bixi inherited his divine status from his dragon father.
Stripped of its divine status, Bixi is now powerless to protect anyone and can barely save itself.
"What?!" Jiang Si and Qin Zhi exclaimed at the same time.
"Tsk tsk," Qingqiu Fox Lord, who had overheard the whole thing, shook his head and sighed, "That lewd dragon disappeared from the Three Realms many years ago. I never expected that it would target its own son the moment it reappeared. It's really ruthless!"
The fox clan is still the best.
They valued offspring above all else.
For a moment, Qin Zhi and Jiang Si felt utterly hopeless and almost couldn't stand up.
They had risked their lives to save Bixi in order to borrow his divine status, but now they were being told that his divine status had been stripped away by his father.
The two felt as if they were about to vomit blood.
Although they might have saved them even without the help of the tortoise, it's still quite disheartening that their efforts have come to nothing.
Bixi didn't grieve for long. Seeing their expressions, he asked seriously, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Si patted her chest with one hand and waved the other, saying, "It's okay, let me rest for a while."
The Fox King of Qingqiu, being so insightful, asked in confusion, "You want his godhood?"
Qin Zhi was speechless.
Jiang Si said weakly, "It's no use thinking about it now."
The Fox King of Qingqiu said, "But you already have your own, so why do you need his divine status?"
Qin Zhi and Jiang Si simultaneously turned to look at their newly-born mother. "What do you mean?"
“Although I’ve forgotten who your father was, I’m certain he was a god.” As he spoke, the Fox King of Qingqiu became somewhat shy. “Even I have been imbued with the aura of a god because of him.”
Qin Zhi and Jiang Si: "..."
The two pointed at themselves simultaneously: "So we are gods?"
"I don't know the specifics, but you do have divine status," said the Fox Queen of Qingqiu. She was fairly certain about such a thing as divine status.
Jiang Si never imagined that after all this time, her father was actually a god.
If she finds her father, and pulls on his connections, could she ascend to immortality instantly?
Jiang Si became somewhat excited.
Qin Zhi could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her smile.
“Don’t be so naive,” Jiang Si cruelly shattered her illusions. “Having a divine status is useless. You were born in the mortal realm, so you need to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao.”
Your birthplace is so important that it can directly determine whether you need to work hard in your next life.
Jiang Si pursed her lips, "Perhaps our father is some kind of great god?"
"Hmph," Qin Zhi sneered, having no good impression of this stranger, Chi Ke. "Who knows if he's not like that lecherous dragon, leaving his mark everywhere?" In his eyes, anyone who could abandon them and his mother was a scumbag.
What's the point of staying with a scumbag like that?
After venting his anger, he thought of his mother and quickly looked over.
Surprisingly, the Fox Queen didn't object at all. She stroked her chin and said, "That's what I think too."
Based on the stories she had read over the past ten thousand years, she even fabricated a story about Chen Shimei (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife).
“I’ve had amnesia for so many years, and he’s never looked for me. He even abandoned you all. It’s clear he doesn’t care about us at all.” The more Fox Queen spoke, the more convinced she became that she was right. She nodded repeatedly. “I must have been young and ignorant back then and he deceived me. After I gave birth to you, he thought I was a burden, so he deleted my memories and abandoned you, leaving you to fend for yourselves.”
"It's absolutely outrageous!" Fox King thought that was the case, and slammed his fist on the table in anger, saying loudly, "Don't let me find him, or I'll beat him until he kneels down and begs for mercy and apologizes to you."
At the same time, the Qin family's expensive century-old mahogany table shattered.
Qin Zhi, Jiang Si, and Bi Xi: "..."
