Chapter 204
Back at Dengxian Tower, Li Yubai and Hesniemen sat on Jiaojiao's left and right respectively.
Before this, the two of them almost fought again over who should hold Jiaojiao while eating. Fortunately, the owner of Dengxianlou quickly had someone bring up a baby chair so that Jiaojiao had a place to sit other than in their arms, thus avoiding their restaurant from becoming the second Lingque Pavilion.
The food was served soon after they sat down. Tao Youyu, who thought he could finally have a peaceful meal, realized that he was too naive.
The atmosphere at the scene froze again when Li Yubai and Hesniemen each picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and handed it to Jiaojiao's mouth.
Tao Youyu, who had a bumpy meal, said he had a stomachache. Before this, he would never have thought that the most bloody Shura scene in a romance drama would one day happen to a three-year-old cub.
Who could have thought of this?
Tao Youyu imagined that if he were in Jiaojiao's position, would he eat the dishes picked up by the Demon Lord Li Yubai first, or the dishes picked up by the Extremely False Immortal Lord Hesniemen? After thinking about it over and over again, he still couldn't come up with the right answer.
Because no matter who eats the dish first, the other one will definitely be dissatisfied.
Thinking of this, Tao Youyu silently cast a sympathetic look at Jiaojiao. It seems that having too many fathers is not a good thing.
Jiaojiao didn't have so many concerns. He opened his mouth and ate the food that Hesniemen fed him.
Seeing this, the faint smile on Li Yubai's face disappeared. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Jiaojiao had already reached over and grabbed his chopsticks.
Li Yubai lowered his eyes and looked at him indifferently. In the end, he did not pull the chopsticks back forcefully. He just looked at Hesniemen with a hint of murderous intent. Hesniemen looked back at him not to be outdone. There was obvious hostility and murderous intent in the eyes of both of them.
Tao Youyu, who was standing aside, took a deep breath, gripped the ground with his toes, and kept signaling Gu Yufei with his eyes, telling him to remember to take him away first if a fight broke out.
Gu Yufei ignored Tao Youyu's antics, and occasionally looked at Jiaojiao with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Jiaojiao was obviously very happy to eat the food fed by her two fathers. She puffed out her cheeks and chewed the food with some effort. She couldn't help shaking her short legs. Her pair of black grape-like eyes curved like a pair of crescent moons with joy. She didn't notice how stiff the atmosphere was.
"Daddy~" Jiaojiao swallowed the food in her mouth, scooped a spoonful of steamed egg with minced meat from her bowl, stretched out her arm and handed it to Li Yubai.
Li Yubai looked down at the steamed egg with minced meat that was handed to him first. The slight unhappiness in his heart suddenly dissipated. He glanced at Hesniemen, whose smile suddenly faded. He slowly lowered his head to eat the steamed egg that Jiaojiao fed him, and reached out to poke Jiaojiao's chubby face: "Hmm, not bad."
Jiaojiao's eyes curved with joy, and she scooped another spoonful and handed it to Hesniemen: "Dad~"
Hesniemen looked at the steamed egg with minced meat, then looked at Jiaojiao, feeling a little helpless. He ate the dishes he picked up first, and then fed Li Yubai the steamed egg. The little guy actually knew how to hold a bowl of water evenly.
Thinking about it, he opened his mouth and ate the steamed egg with minced meat that Jiaojiao fed him, and reached out to rub Jiaojiao's fluffy hair.
"hiss--"
Tao Youyu gasped when he saw this scene.
The shock was so great that he couldn't help but move to Jin Bingwen's side and whisper in his ear.
Tao Youyu was clearly unused to the world of cultivation. He subconsciously assumed no one would hear what he said, so he spoke with complete confidence: "The Demon Lord used a spoon, and now Immortal Jiwang is using it right away. Don't they both feel uncomfortable? Isn't this the same as sharing a spoon? In other words, isn't it an indirect kiss? If you say there's nothing going on between them, I'd be the first to disbelieve it."
Hesnemen's hand, which was rubbing Jiaojiao's head, froze. He hadn't really noticed this. Now, remembering that the spoon was used by Li Yubai, he suddenly felt nauseous.
Li Yubai also stopped picking up the food. Thinking that Hesnemen had used the spoon he had used, he felt very uncomfortable. He reached out and replaced the spoon used by Hesnemen in Jiaojiao's hand, then raised his eyelids and looked over.
Jin Bingwen's expression gradually changed from curiosity at the beginning to horror.
Brother, you really dare to say anything. Even if you want to die, you wouldn't do it in such a fancy way!
He moved to the side, from being close to Tao Youyu to being away from him, showing with his actions that these words had nothing to do with him.
Tao Youyu, who knew nothing, was still talking excitedly: "Speaking of which, in this great sect of Taixuan Sect, you really didn't hear anything about the goings-on between the Demon Lord and the Extremely Delusionful Immortal?"
Jin Bingwen shook his head repeatedly, trying his best to distance himself from the matter.
"What are you talking about?"
Jiaojiao, who cared about everything about her father, poked her head out, her dark eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"that is……"
As soon as these two words came out, Tao Youyu, who sensed something was wrong, suddenly froze. Realizing something, he turned his head stiffly and slowly, and then met the bright eyes, and the kind eyes of Li Yubai and Hesniemen.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that moment Tao Youyu was so scared that his hair stood up like a hedgehog.
Li Yubai covered Jiaojiao's eyes and moved his fingers slightly. The next second, Tao Youyu flew across the evening sky of Jiutian City in a perfect parabola, letting out a soul-stirring howl, and landed accurately in the small restaurant.
Tao Youyu, who was lying on the ground with stars in his eyes, felt in a trance that he seemed to have just seen his grandmother!
In the Dengxian Tower, Jiaojiao blinked at the dining table: "Where's Brother Youyu?"
"He, he is busy with something." Hesnemen rubbed Jiaojiao's head and said softly.
"Oh." Jiaojiao nodded to show that she understood.
After eating and going upstairs to take a shower, Jiaojiao, who looked like a glutinous rice ball, sat on the soft couch holding a big peach and happily chewed it. After taking a few bites, she handed it to her father to let him have a bite too. Hesnemen looked at the peach with holes in it, smiled and shook his head to express his refusal.
Seeing that he didn't want Jiaojiao and handed it to Li Yubai again, Li Yubai angrily stretched out his index finger and pressed it against his brow and pushed it lightly. Jiaojiao, who was holding the peach, immediately fell backwards on the bed.
As if she found it very amusing, Jiaojiao giggled with joy while holding the peach in her arms. She sat up in her pupa form and made a fuss, wanting to play more. Her round eyes curved into crescents.
Li Yubai looked at her and curled up the corners of his mouth inexplicably. He reached out and poked Jiaojiao's forehead. With a little force, Jiaojiao fell backwards on the bed again.
After playing with it several times, Jiaojiao suddenly found a new and interesting toy. She did not get up again, but crawled from one end to the other on the bed like a caterpillar.
Seeing this, Li Yubai, who was confused, poked his butt and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Jiaojiao is a caterpillar now." Jiaojiao said seriously, tilting her fair and tender face.
Hesniemen chuckled and took out a photo stone from the storage jade pendant, capturing Jiaojiao's current appearance.
Jiaojiao, who was unaware of her dark history, was happily playing caterpillar. She even reached out and tugged at Li Yubai's clothes, asking her father to be a caterpillar with her. Li Yubai flatly refused.
Seeing this, Hesnemen felt a little regretful.
After a while, Jiaojiao, who felt a little sleepy, rolled over to Hesnemen's legs, climbed up, lay in his arms, rubbed against him, and yawned.
Hesnemen's brows softened unconsciously: "Are you sleepy?"
"Yeah." Jiaojiao, lying in his arms, nodded slightly.
Hesniemen picked him up, his movements very skillful, one hand supporting his soft buttocks, the other supporting his back. He took two steps to the bed and put him down. He turned his head to look at Li Yubai who was still sitting by the window and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
Li Yubai raised his eyebrows, walked to the bedside and looked directly at him: "Aren't you going to leave?"
The two people who had been getting along peacefully for a while were deadlocked again. Being extremely proud in their bones, neither of them was willing to give in, especially when it came to Jiaojiao's belonging, they didn't want to give in even a little bit.
Jiaojiao sat on the bed, looking around with her little head at them, reaching out to grab their robes, wrinkling her little nose and saying, "Don't make noise, Daddy, don't make noise."
The two looked down at Jiaojiao and suddenly realized that having a quarrel in front of the child was not a good choice. It would make Jiaojiao subconsciously anxious, worried, and even scared.
The two people who held this idea but were unwilling to leave were finally pulled by Jiaojiao to sleep on one side, while Jiaojiao herself lay happily in the middle.
Not feeling sleepy anymore, he held his chubby white feet and played with them. After playing for a while, he suddenly remembered something and rubbed himself against Hesniemen's arms, looking up at him with his fair and tender face: "Jiaojiao, you miss daddy, you miss her very much. Does daddy miss Jiaojiao too?"
Hesnemen lowered his eyes and looked at Jiaojiao lying in his arms. He gently embraced him and pressed him into his arms, rubbing his chin against his furry head. It was not until this moment that he felt the real sense of having found him. He almost sighed and uttered, "I miss you."
"I miss you very much."
He searched for him for a long, long time, searching every corner of the Canglan Continent. He even thought at one point that he was just a fantasy of his own.
Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao curved his eyebrows happily. Lying in the middle, he grabbed two fingers of Li Yubai and Hesniemen respectively and chatted with them in a serious manner.
Jiaojiao always talks a lot in front of her father, saying whatever she finds interesting, with high spirits and without any reason. But Li Yubai and Hesniemen listen very patiently, holding Jiaojiao's soft little chubby hands and occasionally asking a question or two.
Jiaojiao spoke vaguely about many things, as if he himself could not remember them clearly.
But they seemed to vaguely understand that Jiaojiao had walked a very dangerous road alone before successfully walking in front of them.
As she was talking, Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something and wrinkled her nose. She complained, "Lei Lei struck Jiaojiao and Yu Yu, and then Yu Yu was shattered."
He raised his little finger and pointed at his brow: "Jiaojiao hid the broken fish here, but the fish has never been well."
Is there something in Jiaojiao's sea of consciousness?
Li Yubai and Hesniemen frowned almost at the same time.
Having something in the sea of consciousness is a very dangerous thing. If you are not careful, you will be like a fool.
Thinking about this, Li Yubai carefully probed his spiritual sense into Jiaojiao's sea of consciousness. He thought it would take a lot of energy, but after probing in, he found that Jiaojiao's sea of consciousness did not resist him at all. After he entered unimpeded, Jiaojiao's spiritual sense happily took him to the front of the blue whale and took him around for a few times.
Li Yubai carefully examined the cracks on the Blue Whale's soul and was surprised to find that it had been forcibly pieced together by Jiaojiao. He looked at Jiaojiao and asked, "Is it very important to you?"
"Yeah." Jiaojiao nodded her head: "It's very important."
"If it's so important, then simply leaving it in the sea of consciousness won't do anything. You must first learn how to draw Qi into the sea and use your spiritual power to nourish it. Then leave the rest to me."
There are elixirs that can heal damaged souls, but the ingredients needed to refine the healing elixir are a bit rare. However, it is not a big problem for him, it just takes some time.
In Jiaojiao's heart, he would definitely do whatever his father said. He never doubted this and immediately nodded happily: "Jiaojiao will learn."
That night, under the guidance of Hesniemen, Jiaojiao crossed his legs, placed his hands on his dantian, closed his eyes and began his first practice.
Hesniemen did not tell Jiaojiao those mantras, but directly probed into his true energy and planned to take Jiaojiao with him several times to let him remember how to transfer qi to his dantian.
Before this, he and Li Yubai had almost come to blows over who would take Jiaojiao on the journey. In the end, Hesniemen won by arguing that Li Yubai's cultivation method was unsuitable for a child like Jiaojiao who had never practiced cultivation before.
It's just that Hesniemen took Jiaojiao away and the problem arose. It can't be said to be a problem, but it was something that no one expected.
At the moment when Jiaojiao was lucky, the spiritual power in Jiutian City began to flow back within a radius of a hundred miles. The huge spiritual power that swept in formed a huge spiritual power vortex in a moment, which instantly alarmed hundreds of cultivators nearby. Even the mayor of Jiutian City was alarmed by this situation.
Li Yubai reacted quickly and waved his hand, and the strong spiritual power fluctuation disappeared without a trace. Then he released his power and intimidated those who came rushing over after hearing the noise.
It took Jiaojiao only a moment to practice Qigong, and then it was the first, second, and third levels. Her cultivation level was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye she had reached the great perfection of Qigong. Li Yubai and Hesniemen looked at each other in surprise.
Jiaojiao's talent is not so rare that it cannot be explained. Only the legendary Taoist fetuses born and raised in ancient times can treat cultivation as simple as eating and drinking water.
But fortunately, both of them have the ability to protect such a Jiaojiao.
After practicing for a while, Jiaojiao opened her eyes and looked at Li Yubai and Hesniemen with bright eyes and expectation: "Did Jiaojiao learn it?"
"I've learned it." Hesnemen touched the back of his round head and chuckled, "Very impressive."
Jiaojiao puffed out her chest slightly and said with a little pride, "When Jiaojiao becomes more powerful, she will protect Daddy and Father. When Daddy and Father encounter the enemy, they will hide behind Jiaojiao."
It was the first time Li Yubai heard someone talk about protecting themselves. Curious, he stretched out his index finger and poked the three-year-old cub who said this, causing him to fall backwards.
After all this commotion, Jiaojiao, who was feeling sleepy again, crawled to the middle and lay down. Then, she patted the pillows on both sides and urged, "Daddy, come up quickly. I'm sleepy and need to go to sleep."
Hesniemen and Li Yubai went to bed at Jiaojiao's urging.
The weather on November 1st should be cold, but in order to host the Immortal Alliance Conference, Jiutian City generously set up a formation to reverse the seasons in the city, making the city as warm as spring. Bright flowers bloomed everywhere, and even the restaurants and inns were equipped with warm stones. The high temperature made bedding useless, so Li Yubai took a small blanket and covered Jiaojiao's belly.
You must cover your stomach no matter what, otherwise you will easily get diarrhea.
This was written in the baby-raising books that Li Yubai collected these two days, and he remembered it very clearly.
Jiaojiao fell asleep not long after lying on the bed. Seeing this, the two men, who had no need to sleep, sat up from the bed. After looking at each other hostilely for a while, they both set their sights on the sleeping Jiaojiao because neither of them could hold Jiaojiao while sleeping.
The candlelight gave his fair face a warm tint, and his long, thick black eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows under his eyelids. His belly rose and fell with the rhythm of his breathing. Occasionally, when he turned over, a corner of his short white undergarment would be lifted, revealing his round, white, and soft belly underneath.
Hesnemen reached out and poked him, then pulled down his underwear to cover his belly.
"Let's chat!" He raised his eyelids and looked at Li Yubai.
Li Yubai nodded, got off the bed, walked to the table and sat down, and Hesniemen also got off the bed.
The next day, Huo Youqi went to the courtyard of Ziyang Sect on Suyang Peak early in the morning, taking the amount of compensation calculated by the steward.
In fact, if he just wanted compensation, he would not have come so early. After all, the Immortal Master Jiwang would not default on him. The reason why he came so early was mainly to listen to gossip and watch the show.
Gossip about the Immortal Master Jiwang is very rare. Over the years, the only person who can say something about him is his son who lived more than a hundred years ago.
For many years, people have been speculating about who the Taoist partner of the Immortal Master Jiwang is, but there has been no confirmed person to this day. Now, not only do we know that the Taoist partner of the Immortal Master Jiwang is actually a man, but the two of them actually have a second son.
This matter has spread throughout Jiutian City, and it is estimated that the entire Canglan Realm will know about it in a few days.
This made Huo Youqi extremely curious about what kind of person could be able to defeat such a cold-hearted person like Jiwang Xianzun.
Unfortunately, the Immortal Master Jiwang was not there and had not returned since yesterday. Huo Youqi felt a little disappointed when he heard the news, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked someone to move a recliner, sat on the recliner and planned to wait for the Immortal Master Jiwang to come back.
What was the extremely arrogant Immortal Venerable Hesniemen doing at this moment? He was shopping with Jiaojiao, or rather, Jiaojiao was shopping with his two fathers.
The streets were bustling with people, and all kinds of snacks, groceries, and rare treasures were displayed on the stalls. The Lingque Pavilion, which was completely destroyed yesterday, was completely destroyed today. It looked brand new and no different from before. Even those who were not well-informed could not tell that it had collapsed yesterday.
Jiaojiao went shopping with her two fathers. Whenever she saw something good in a stall or shop, she would run over with her short legs, take out her spirit stones to buy it, and then run back with the money in her arms and tiptoe to give it to her two fathers.
His cheerful look and the little fat on his face shaking when he ran made people's hearts soften.
Jiaojiao bought several different sets of food, drinks, jade pendants, ornaments, beautiful magic weapons, powerful-looking magic weapons, and even clothes and shoes. Every time she bought something, she would run over happily with it and give it to her father. Soon, Li Yubai and Hesniemen's arms were filled with all kinds of miscellaneous things.
Jiaojiao, standing in front of her father, puffed out her chest slightly and said with sparkling eyes, "Jiaojiao supports Daddy. Just tell Jiaojiao if Daddy needs anything."
When they went out in the morning, Jiaojiao stuffed a bunch of spirit stones into their hands. In the end, Li Yubai and Hesniemen didn't use any of them. They felt a little helpless, but they couldn't deny the joy that came from their hearts.
The two glanced at each other and thought, well, considering that the other had given birth to such a lovely Jiaojiao, it would be better to be less hostile.
The two people who failed to reach an agreement last night and had been exuding hostility since morning now had an inexplicably relaxed atmosphere.
The monks who saw these scenes on the road all looked at him with envy, and some even thought of stealing the child. However, these thoughts were dispelled after seeing Hesnemen's iconic golden hair and golden eyes.
After confirming with each other's eyes, they knew that this was not someone they could afford to offend.
Tao Youyu, who followed behind Jiaojiao and the others and was fished out of Yunjianyue by Gu Yufei and stuffed a big bag of food into Jiaojiao's arms, had a face full of sighs.
Growing up in an orphanage, he had never had any concrete impression of other people's children. Now, after seeing Jiaojiao, he finally understood what other people's children meant.
He looked so happy and wanted to give his father the best things in the world that anyone would wake up laughing in their dreams.
As she was walking, Jiaojiao saw the candied haws and ran over with her short legs. After selling six strings of candied haws, she couldn't carry them all at once, so she took them in two batches.
Tao Youyu, who was given a string of candied haws, took a bite of one and immediately felt his teeth getting sore from the sour taste. After covering his teeth and taking a breath of cold air, his eyes couldn't help but wander to Jiaojiao, Li Yubai and Hesniemen.
He now has a question, that is, whether the Immortal Master Jiwang can see the identity of the Demon Lord Li Yubai?
However, given the relationship between the two, the probability that Jiwang Immortal Venerable did not know the identity of Demon Lord Li Yubai was very small. If he knew, wouldn't it mean that Jiwang Immortal Venerable was in collusion with the demons?
Hiss, no, I can’t think about it anymore, Tao Youyu shook his head.
I always feel like something bad is going to happen if I keep thinking about it.
However, Tao Youyu turned the candied haws in his hand and set his eyes on Jiaojiao. Her black hair and black eyes should be inherited from the Demon Lord Li Yubai, but her appearance should be inherited from the Immortal Master Jiwang. It's not that the two look alike, but Jiaojiao's appearance is the kind that will be the same as the Immortal Master Jiwang when she grows up, which will amaze everyone at first sight and make people unforgettable.
He was not exaggerating about the appearance of the Immortal Master Jiwang. He had seen so many handsome men and beautiful women in modern times, but none of them could compare to the Immortal Master Jiwang. Not to mention his extremely beautiful appearance, no one could match his demeanor.
Tsk, I still can’t tell who is the father who took the fertility medicine and gave birth to Jiaojiao.
"What are you doing?" Jin Bingwen knocked Tao Youyu on the head with the handle of his fan and said in a low voice with a hint of gritted teeth, "If you get thrown into the brothel again, Gu Yufei and I won't come to rescue you!"
Hearing this, Tao Youyu looked up and saw Jiaojiao, who was walking while holding onto her father's robe and looking back at him. When she met his gaze, Jiaojiao ran over and said, "Brother Youyu, why are you looking at Jiaojiao in such a weird way?"
Tao Youyu broke out in a sweat instantly. If the three-year-old Jiaojiao could feel his gaze, then what was the possibility that the Demon Lord Li Yubai and Jiwang Xianzun could not feel it?
Tao Youyu hurriedly squatted down and picked up Jiaojiao, deliberately raising his voice and saying, "No, I didn't look at Jiaojiao with a strange look. It's just that I didn't sleep well last night and was just daydreaming. I have a strange problem. When I'm daydreaming, my eyes look a little strange."
Jiaojiao nodded, got out of his arms, and walked forward pulling at his robe.
Tao Youyu followed for two steps, then came to his senses and asked Jiaojiao where she was taking him.
Jiaojiao turned her head and looked at him in confusion: "Take brother to see a doctor, there is something wrong and he needs treatment."
Tao Youyu choked and made up some random words to fool Jiaojiao. He only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Jiaojiao running back and leaving with Li Yubai and the others.
But just after I relaxed, I breathed a sigh of relief for a moment before it came back up again.
"What did you say? Who's coming?"
He rushed to the three monks who were about to enter a restaurant on the street. The three monks were frightened by him and almost drew their swords to chop him.
"Brother, you're so frightening!"
Tao Youyu smiled apologetically: "Sorry, sorry, I just heard some news that made me a little excited."
"Brother, do you also worship the Lord of the Tianyi Clan?"
Tao Youyu nodded. It was not that he admired this person, but if this person really came to the Immortal Alliance Conference, he could already prepare for his escape.
The leader of the Tianyi clan was born with a pair of iris-purple eyes. It was said that because of those pupils, no disguise or illusion could escape the eyes of this leader. Not to mention the legend that he did not need any substantial contact. With just a trace of spiritual power or a glance, he could predict a person's future and understand their past.
If such an all-knowing figure came, unless they were lucky enough not to meet this person in the entire Immortal Alliance Conference, not even to see him from afar, then perhaps they could escape the fate of being beaten and colluding with the demons.
However, there is another possibility. At the Immortal Alliance Conference, Immortal Master Jiwang was definitely representing Ziyang Sect to meet with the Lord of the Tianyi Clan. If that Lord was really that powerful, could he tell through some slight signs or images that Immortal Master Jiwang had an affair with the Demon Lord?
"Then you're in luck. I heard that the Lord of the Tianyi Clan has already set off for the Immortal Alliance Conference. He will arrive in a few days. Then we'll be able to see him at the Immortal Alliance Conference. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll even get some advice or two from him."
"I heard that those who have received guidance from the Lord have a smoother and less bumpy journey in their cultivation."
Tao Youyu: "Is the news confirmed?"
"It's certain. The information sold by the Lou family is never wrong."
Upon hearing this, Tao Youyu's heart sank. He ran to Li Yubai and Hesniemen and told them about this. He tactfully advised them not to participate in this Immortal Alliance Conference and to stay out of the spotlight.
Li Yubai and Hesniemen didn't react much after hearing it. As people of the same generation, they were both top-notch. When they were young, they had fought each other in various Questioning Heaven Tests, Ladder Rankings, and Immortal Alliance Competitions. They knew each other's temperaments to some extent. Cloverford, the lord of the Tianyi clan, was not a nosy person. He rarely paid attention to irrelevant matters unless they concerned himself.
Moreover, Hesniemen actually doesn't care whether the camp he is in is the righteous one or the so-called evil one. With his cultivation level, there are few people in the Canglan Realm who are capable of making things difficult for him, unless the sect's rare ancestor takes action.
Seeing how they were calm and composed, Tao Youyu also felt relieved.
When they arrived at a place, they saw a group of people crowded under a makeshift tent, placing bets passionately.
Curious, Jiaojiao tugged at her father's robe and slid closer. From a distance, she heard someone loudly say, "Jin Bingwen, Jin Bingwen from the Taixuan Sect, a Nascent Soul under a hundred years old. I'm betting on him to take first place in this Immortal Alliance Competition!"
"Jin Bingwen? I heard he just reached the Nascent Soul stage, so his cultivation is probably still unstable. I'll beat Lou Suizhi from Taiqing Sect for first place this time!"
"Lou Suizhi, his ranking in the last Heavenly Questioning Test was quite high, and I heard his cultivation has improved in recent years!"
"You're confused, right? The last time Wentian tested Ziyang Sect's Jun Ce, he was first. How could you forget that? I'm going to beat Ziyang Sect's Jun Ce!"
"Ziyang's Jun Ce only narrowly defeated Senior Sister Shi Yanqing of Taiqing. This time, I'm going to beat Senior Sister Yanqing!"
"Then I'll bet on Master Jiming from the Sakya Temple. Although he narrowly lost last time, I heard he recently went to the Wuji Sea and his cultivation has greatly improved. He's already reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!"
No one present believed this. After all, Master Jiming was stuck at the Great Perfection of Golden Elixir a long time ago. How could he advance two levels in just half a year? Unless he used some secret method, it would be impossible.
Jiaojiao, with his big eyes open but not understanding what was said, tugged at his father's clothes. Hesniemen held him in his arms and explained to him in detail what they were doing.
After understanding what was said, Jiaojiao took out two top-grade spirit stones from her collar and waved her hands anxiously: "Jiaojiao bet on Daddy and Daddy to win. Daddy and Daddy are the most powerful."
Li Yubai: "No, I won't participate."
Hesnemen was also speechless: "I won't participate either."
Jiaojiao blinked her big eyes: "Then Jiaojiao will place a bet for brother."
"Okay, one per person will be fine."
Jiaojiao looked at the two spirit stones in her hand and handed one to Li Yubai: "Daddy, give it to Jiaojiao."
After Li Yubai took the spirit stone, Jiaojiao, with her hands free, took out another spirit stone from her collar.
Tao Youyu reacted quickly and reached out: "No, I won't participate. Jiaojiao, you just take two."
The lowest level of participants in the Immortal Alliance Competition is the Golden Core. As someone in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, he has no other choice but to make a humiliating 360-degree turn.
Hearing this, Jiaojiao put a spirit stone back, then got down from his father's arms with the spirit stone in his hand, and rushed to the platform over there with his short legs. With his small body, he squeezed to the front, and with his little hands holding onto the platform, he tried hard to stand on tiptoe. He just managed to show his head and waved his little paws: "Jiaojiao wants to place a bet!"
The childish voice caught everyone's attention. They looked and found that it was a little kid who was only about three years old. They were surprised and subconsciously lowered their voices, as if they were afraid of scaring him, and asked, "Kid, where are your parents?"
Jiaojiao pointed behind her: "Daddy is there."
Everyone looked over and felt relieved when they found that there was indeed an adult accompanying them: "So who do you want to bet on?"
"Brother Jin Bingwen from Taixuan Sect and Brother Gu Yufei from Taiqing Sect."
The first bettors had never seen two people betting together before, so they thought Jiaojiao didn't understand what betting meant, so they patiently explained it to her. Jiaojiao, standing on tiptoe, nodded her head and said, "Jiaojiao knows."
Seeing this, everyone stopped trying to persuade him, thinking that an adult had taken two spirit stones to amuse the child. Unexpectedly, Jiaojiao took out two top-grade spirit stones at once, which frightened everyone. They kept asking Jiaojiao if she had taken the wrong spirit stones and had taken the low-grade spirit stones given to him as top-grade spirit stones?
Jiaojiao shook her head: "No."
Upon hearing this, the banker went to ask Hesniemen nearby before returning to accept the two spirit stones. After writing down his name, he finally came to his senses. Why did this Taiqing Sect's Gu Yufei seem so unfamiliar? Could he be a dark horse waiting to make a splash? Should he ask someone to place a bet elsewhere?
After placing the bet, Jiaojiao ran back happily. Li Yubai picked him up and held him in his arms. Obviously, he remembered that Hesniemen had just held Jiaojiao, so he found the opportunity and picked up Jiaojiao in his arms.
Seeing their childish behavior, Tao Youyu said: "..."
Gu Yufei: "..."
Jin Bingwen: “…”
The images of the Demon Lord and the Immortal Lord were shattered to pieces.
In the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, a green boat sailed among the clouds. The bird-scare bells hanging on the edge of the boat rang. The man standing at the bow was wearing a crescent-colored straight-collared double-breasted shirt, a dark green wide-sleeved smock on the outside, a tasseled jade pendant hanging around his waist, and his black hair was half-tied with a jade hairpin. His purple eyes were up and down, and no emotion could be seen.
When Cangzhou passed Tianzhu Mountain, he lowered his eyelids slightly, his sight piercing through the layers of clouds and mist, and cast a glance at Tianzhu Mountain where half of the mountaintop had been cut off. He seemed to see something interesting, and he tapped it lightly with his index finger in front of him, revealing a blood-red bracelet on the wrist bone.
Cloveford changed his previous behavior and came to the Immortal Alliance Conference because he had a divination a few days ago. The person he was looking for would appear at the southernmost tip, and the southernmost tip of Canglan Realm was Jiutian City.
