Chapter 206
At the main peak of Tianqian, the Demon Lord, the Lord of the Tianyi Clan, and the Immortal Master Jiwang all set off in one direction at the same time. The Lord of Jiutian City, Taixuan, Taiqing, the elders of Ziyang and a group of disciples who noticed this scene also set off and followed.
As soon as they arrived, they heard these words. Confused, they looked at each other in bewilderment, their minds awestruck. Who could this kid possibly be? How could he have the Immortal Supreme Jiwang, the Lord of the Tianyi Clan, that great demon, and the Master of the Lingque Pavilion all rush to his side at the same time?!
On the stone bridge, Hesnemen, Clove, Li Yubai, and Huo Youqi all looked at each other silently. They were also a little confused about the situation and did not break the silence at the first time.
In Li Yubai's opinion, the Lord of the Tianyi Clan and the Master of the Lingque Pavilion said this to support Jiaojiao because they were acquainted with the Hesnie Clan.
This was also Hesnemen's first reaction, but then he thought that given his relationship with them, it was not yet to the extent that they would support his son, not to mention that these two people were not the kind of people who were willing to help others.
In the eyes of Clove and Huo Youqi, the other party might have said this because he knew Jiaojiao's biological father.
However, all their guesses were completely shattered by Jiaojiao's cheerful call of "Daddy".
Jiaojiao was very happy to see her father. She ran over with her short legs and hugged...Cloveford's legs.
Upon seeing this, Hesniemen, Li Yubai, Huo Youqi, including the Lord of Jiutian City, elders of various sects and a group of disciples all turned their eyes to Cloverford.
He is actually the child of the Lord of the Tianyi Clan. No wonder Immortal Master Jiwang and the Master of Lingque Pavilion both come to support him. However... the son of the Lord of the Tianyi Clan should not be of this age. I haven't heard that he has a second son?
Huo Youqi frowned as his eyes fell on Cloveford. Could he be Jiaojiao's irresponsible father?
Unlike Huo Youqi who subconsciously believed that Cloveford was Jiaojiao's biological father, Hesniemen and Li Yubai looked at each other, narrowed their eyes, and began to ponder each other.
Jiaojiao hugged Clove's legs and rubbed them coquettishly. When Clove bends down to pick him up, he turns around and runs two steps to Huo Youqi's side and hugs his legs as well. He looks up at him with bright eyes and raises his fair little face. His little voice, filled with joy, rings out again: "Daddy!"
Wow!
The elders and disciples leaned back in surprise, their eyes subconsciously looking back and forth between Clove and Huo Youqi.
The Lord of the Tianyi Clan and the Master of the Lingque Pavilion actually have such a relationship?
Ever since a remarkable female alchemy master ingeniously concocted an elixir that could enable men to have children, although it was rare for male cultivators in the Canglan Realm to have children, it was not unheard of.
Everyone who was secretly looking at the two of them had their curiosity peaked. Who was the one who gave birth to the child, the Lord of the Tianyi Clan or the Master of the Lingque Pavilion?
Zhao Zaizhou and Ji Jingyun in the crowd were extremely confused. Something was wrong. Wasn't this kid named Jiaojiao the son of their uncle He?
How did he become the child of the Lord of the Tianyi Clan and the Master of the Lingque Pavilion?
Cloveford and Huo Youqi didn't care about the people's stares. They looked at each other, and both guessed in their hearts that the other was Jiaojiao's biological father.
Hesniemen and Li Yubai's eyes were not on the two of them, but on Jiaojiao. By this time, they both understood that the problem was with this little guy.
Thinking of the scene when Jiaojiao suddenly appeared and hugged their legs and called them daddy, the two of them realized that the reason for the current situation was Jiaojiao's bad habit of recognizing daddy everywhere.
No one knew how many fathers Jiaojiao had. The moment they realized this, they both felt complicated and even a little irritated.
Anyone who thinks he is unique and then finds out that he is just one of the crowd will inevitably feel disappointed, and in serious cases, he may even feel that he has been deceived.
Li Yubai, Hesniemen and others are extremely proud, so proud that they cannot tolerate even a hint of deception.
Li Yubai took his eyes off Jiaojiao and turned to walk away, but just as he took a step, he felt a tug at the corner of his clothes. The pulling force was so small that he didn't need to use any effort to break free.
Li Yubai raised his foot, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't take a step forward. He turned his head and looked over. Jiaojiao, who was tugging at his robe, tilted her head back. Her eyes, round as a cat's, were filled with confusion and worry. "Daddy, are you unhappy?"
"Did someone bully you? Tell Jiaojiao and she'll help you vent your anger."
Upon hearing this, the people around couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with horror, and their gaze kept shifting between the Lord of the Tianyi Clan, the Master of the Lingque Pavilion, and the Demon Lord.
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, but I couldn't suppress the gossipy spirit in my heart. I kept wondering in my mind what kind of shocking relationship there was between these three people?
Clove and Huo Youqi also suddenly turned their heads to look at Li Yubai. After coming to their senses, the thoughts deep in their eyes were complicated and difficult to discern.
Li Yubai ignored their gazes. He lowered his eyes and stared at Jiaojiao. His gaze fell on the little hand that was pulling at his robe. After staying there for a long time, he leaned over slightly and touched the corner of Jiaojiao's eyes.
This pair of eyes is still very beautiful, clean and bright, without a trace of impurities. When looking at you, they are bright, as if countless stars have fallen into his eyes. Every fragment carries your figure, silently telling of admiration and dependence, as if you are his whole world, the only beam of light he can grasp.
What a pity, he's a little liar!
"What did you call me?" His voice, which had been damaged, was filled with unspeakable emotions, and it was hoarse and unpleasant, like the cry of a crow.
Jiaojiao didn't understand what was going on. She felt a little panicked and tugged at his robe tightly with her little hands: "Daddy."
As soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes instantly turned red.
Li Yubai wiped his eyes, and the moisture on his fingertips made his heart clench. He looked at him, and those eyes without whiteness were so strange that it chilled the onlookers. He said, "Jiaojiao, do you know? You can only have one father!"
Jiaojiao blinked blankly.
"You can only choose one of our four fathers. If you choose any of them, I will leave."
"So, what's your choice?"
Jiaojiao clenched her hands helplessly, and her nails left white crescent marks on the palms without her noticing the pain.
Can there only be one daddy?
Jiaojiao was surprised and confused as her previous cognition was challenged.
Li Yubai pulled Jiaojiao's hand over and opened his clenched little hand. He frowned at the pale nail marks on his small palm and rubbed it with his thumb. Then he reached out to cover Jiaojiao's eyes, which were so bewildered that it made him feel distressed. He whispered, "It's okay. If you don't know what to do, Daddy will make a choice for you."
After he finished speaking, he opened his eyelids and looked at Hesnemen and others, and the cold murderous intent spread out from his eyes without restraint.
It’s very simple. There’s no need to make things difficult for Jiaojiao. Just kill the others, and then he will be Jiaojiao’s only father!
Coincidentally, Hesnemen and others had the same idea.
How powerful would a fight between four people in the Hedao stage be?
Mountains collapsed, tsunamis surged, roars came from deep within the earth, the clouds above the sky were dispersed, and the heavy pressure caused the birds in the sky and the beasts on the ground to fold their wings and lower their heads.
The four of them rushed towards each other like blue dragons. Their might that could topple mountains and rivers flattened Jiuqu, Tianshan, Lianhua and Changming Mountains, and once again drew a huge ravine between Tianzhu Mountain and Jiutian City.
The ground was shaking so much that it was difficult for everyone to stand steadily. They could only support each other and barely stand, looking at the terrifying sound in the distance with unspeakable awe and yearning in their eyes.
Cultivators who have reached this level rarely resort to combat, as their every move can cause unrest in the world and bring unforeseen disasters. Therefore, combat between powerful beings is rarely witnessed, and when it does occur, cultivators from a hundred miles around will rush to watch, regardless of the danger, hoping to gain some insights from the conflict.
The bright little hands held in Su Cang's arms tightly grasped the clothes on his chest, and her extra-large eyes were fixed on the movement in the distance, not daring to blink.
The Canglan Realm has never been a peaceful place. Once you embark on the path of cultivation, you are destined to be involved in more blood and fighting.
In such an environment, even people like Hesniemen and Li Yubai, who have such rare talents, cannot get a moment of peace.
They are the best among their peers, standing at the top. They practice day and night to become stronger, but there are inevitably times when they are powerless and imprisoned.
Jiaojiao appeared beside them, accompanied them through many places in Canglan Realm, and helped them overcome many dangers. Several times when they were on the verge of death, the only hand they could hold was Jiaojiao's hand, which was as small as a cat's paw.
Jiaojiao was there when Cloverd massacred the Hell Sea, Jiaojiao was there when Li Yubai killed his father, Jiaojiao was there when Hesniemen gambled half of his life to plot against Yan Junshan, and Jiaojiao was there in various secret realms over the past few hundred years, in the depths of the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, under the abyss, and in all kinds of disasters.
No matter how dangerous the situation is, Jiaojiao is the one that fathers will do their utmost to protect, even if it means gritting their teeth and giving up everything.
And daddy was also someone Jiaojiao had to protect at all costs. When he was little, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to lift his daddy up from where he was lying in a pool of blood. He also picked herbs for his daddy who was covered in bruises. He also lay on top of his daddy, covering his daddy's bloody wounds with his shaking little hands.
When Jiaojiao was in the dead zone, he would sit there in a daze for a long time every time he woke up from a dream. Although his memories of the dream would be covered with a layer of fog every time he woke up and were mostly blurry, he still couldn't dig out the emotions from the dream for a long time.
In the cognition of three-year-old Jiaojiao, dad and his friends are often hurt and need Jiaojiao's company and protection.
But now his father and the others don’t want him anymore and want to leave him!
Feeling the cool liquid dripping on the back of his hand, Su Cang looked down and saw Jiaojiao pursing her lips tightly, her eyes wide open and red, with big tears dripping silently from them.
Su Cang was a little bit at a loss for a moment: "Why are you crying? Where does it hurt?"
Jiaojiao shook her head, her voice filled with tears making Su Cang feel uncomfortable: "No...it doesn't hurt."
Su Cang frowned: "Then why are you crying?"
Jiaojiao sniffed and stuttered, "Jiao... Jiaojiao... no... no... wow..."
Unable to hold back, Jiaojiao grabbed Su Cang's clothes on her chest with her little hands and cried pitifully with her head tilted back.
When Jiaojiao started crying, Su Cang almost lost his computer. Just as he was trying to coax Jiaojiao in a panic, a pair of hands reached out and took Jiaojiao from his arms.
"Why are you crying?"
Hesniemen held Jiaojiao in his arms, his golden eyes filled with heartache and helplessness. His big hands gently stroked Jiaojiao's back again and again: "It's okay, don't cry, Daddy is here, don't cry."
He coaxed her gently, but Jiaojiao looked at him with tearful eyes and cried even more pitifully.
"Wuwawawa...Jiaojiao...Daddy...wuwu...Daddy is going...going to leave...No...don't...want...Jiaojiaowuwu...anymore..."
Seeing Jiaojiao sobbing and gasping for breath, Hesniemen breathed in a sigh of relief: "I'm not leaving, and I don't want Jiaojiao. I won't do anything to want Jiaojiao. Don't cry."
Jiaojiao turned her head to look at Li Yubai, who looked so pitiful. Li Yubai sighed softly and wiped his tears with his hand: "Don't leave, don't cry."
Jiaojiao grabbed his fingers and sobbed, "No... no... I don't want Jiaojiao..."
Li Yubai was helpless: "Well, I won't give up Jiaojiao."
Jiaojiao sniffed and turned to look at Cloveford and Huo Youqi. The two of them were helpless and reached out to wipe away the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes with their fingertips: "Well, I'm not leaving."
Huo Youqi: "Don't cry, it makes me feel depressed and uncomfortable."
Jiaojiao raised her little hands and wiped her tears carelessly. She sniffled and cried so hard that she couldn't stop for a while. She sobbed and said, "Jiaojiao... Jiaojiao didn't cry."
Looking at Jiaojiao's eyes that were as red as a rabbit's, they felt helpless and speechless.
It took Jiaojiao a long time to recover. She felt shy belatedly and turned around, curled up in Hesnemen's arms and refused to come out.
This scene was adorable, but everyone present, including the elders of the Ziyang Sect, looked stunned. One child with four fathers? And these four fathers were the Lord of the Tianyi Clan, the Immortal Supreme Jiwang, the Master of the Lingque Pavilion, and the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan?!
This amount of information was too much for them to accept at first!
After Hesniemen and his men took Jiaojiao away, there was silence for a quarter of an hour before a heated discussion broke out.
It stands to reason that when a righteous cultivator has anything to do with an evil cultivator, everyone should condemn him. But the problem is, those who have anything to do with an evil cultivator are not ordinary people. If they really condemn a few of them, then the balance between the righteous and the evil clan will be broken.
So everyone pretended to ignore the situation. What else could they do if they didn't ignore it? If a real fight broke out, with the Lord of the Youtian Clan, the Immortal Supreme Jiwang, and the Master of the Lingque Pavilion all joining the Demon Clan, what would they even fight for?
However, some things can be ignored, while others cannot be ignored. For example, what is the relationship between the four of them? Who among the four gave birth to this child named Jiaojiao?
Hiss, this relationship is as messy as the most explicit picture book!
Although it was delayed by an unexpected event, the Immortal Alliance Competition must still be held. However, half of the thirty-two immortal mountains were destroyed when the four of Hesniemen fought. Now there are only twelve immortal mountains left, which makes the venue a bit tight. However, it is too late to prepare the immortal mountains at this time. Fortunately, the immortal mountains are big enough to accommodate so many cultivators.
At the main peak of the chasm, the monks lined up neatly below looked heroic, but their eyes couldn't help but secretly glance at the child on the Tianyi clan's territory on the upper right.
Jiaojiao, wearing an indigo robe, sat obediently in Cloverford's arms. From a distance, she looked as white, tender and soft as a glutinous rice dumpling, and just looking at her made one want to take a bite.
Jiaojiao, sitting in Cloverford's father's arms, felt a little uneasy. She would turn her head to look at Li Yubai, Hesniemen, Huo Youqi and the others from time to time. They looked as if they would quietly leave if she wasn't paying attention.
Jiaojiao glanced at the monks below, then turned his head to look at his father and the others. After repeating this several times, he still jumped out of Father Cloverford's arms out of worry, and ran to Li Yubai. Under Li Yubai's puzzled gaze, he pulled the corner of his robe and held it in his hand.
Li Yubai: “?”
After pulling the corner of Li Yubai's robe, Jiaojiao ran to the side with his short legs and pulled the corners of Hesniemen and Huo Youqi's robes respectively. After making sure that his fathers could not escape, he finally felt relieved and climbed back into Cloverford's arms, concentrating his gaze below.
Seeing Jiaojiao pinching the corners of their robes as if she was holding some treasure, Cloveford and the others were stunned, and their brows softened slightly.
Everyone who secretly turned their eyes to Jiaojiao was amused by her action. Putting aside other things, this child's personality is quite cute.
There are only 20,000 places to enter the Taixu Secret Realm. Those who win the top ten in the Immortal Alliance Competition can strive to bring 100 people into the Taixu Secret Realm for their respective sects. Those who are ranked after the tenth and above 30 can each get 50 places. After that, those who are ranked up to 180th can each get 10 places. In other words, only the top 180 out of the 32,000 cultivators participating in the Immortal Alliance Competition can get places in the Taixu Secret Realm. The competition is extremely fierce.
Jiaojiao saw Gu Yufei, Jin Bingwen and Jin Yaoer among the monks standing in line below, and immediately waved to them happily.
Seeing this, Gu Yufei, Jin Bingwen and Jin Yaoer, who had been paying attention to him, also nodded to him.
The three of them had also heard about the previous commotion, and they were still very surprised until now. When they accompanied Jiaojiao to Jiutian City to find his father, the three of them never thought that he would have four fathers, nor did they expect that his four fathers would have such identities. This was really surprising.
With four such fathers, Jiaojiao can almost walk around the entire Canglan Realm as long as she doesn't set foot in the territory of the demon clan.
Tao Youyu was lying on the seat of the independent cultivators with a leisurely look on his face. If he had been worried about what would happen if the identity of Jiaojiao, the young master of the demon clan, was exposed before, now he was in a mess with four big bosses protecting him. Even if someone had some temporary ideas, they had to hide them well before the four big bosses were alive.
"By the way, didn't the system say that if you help Jiaojiao find her father, you'll be rewarded with a Soul Cleansing Pill? Where's the pill?"
Tao Youyu suddenly thought of something and sat up, his eyes wide open as he questioned in his mind.
Su Cang: "The mission has not been completed yet, and the reward will not be issued."
"Jiaojiao has found four fathers, but the mission isn't complete yet?" Tao Youyu's tone was filled with disbelief.
Su Cang remained silent.
Seeing this, Tao Youyu leaned over the armrest dejectedly and complained: "Four fathers are not enough, are you planning to find seven to summon a dragon together?"
Just as Tao Youyu was complaining dejectedly, a huge bell rang out of nowhere, startling him. He looked up at the field and saw green stone steps extending from the fairy mountains floating around, connecting with the main peak of the Tianqian in an instant, like a ladder leading to another world.
The Immortal Alliance Competition is held every ten years. Among these 32,000 cultivators, there are many who have participated in the Immortal Alliance Competition more than once and have experienced more than one failure.
They stepped onto the green stone steps and swarmed up the ladder like ants, their expressions still firm, and once again stepped into the battlefield that belonged to them.
Tao Youyu sat up straight in the seat of the casual cultivator. The system's cleansing pill was still a long way off, so now he could only look forward to the protagonist's cleansing grass.
When Gu Yufei stepped into the fairy mountain, his eyes suddenly darkened and then brightened, and the scenery that appeared before his eyes again was completely changed.
The blood-red moon hung in the sky, like a strange eye gazing at the earth full of rivers of fire. The winding rivers of fire were like fire snakes, climbing up along the mountain in the middle that seemed to support the heaven and earth.
The scenes in each fairy mountain are scenes that appeared in ancient times.
The high mountain in this fairy mountain is called Zushan. It was once the highest mountain in Canglan Realm. Compared with it, most mountains in the world can only be regarded as earth slopes.
A giant python coiled on the top of the ancestral mountain, and its pupils, which occasionally opened, looked bigger than the blood moon in the sky.
In ancient times, there was a celestial python coiled around the ancestral mountain. According to legend, the celestial python could swallow the sun and the moon. Although the giant python in front of him could not be compared with the celestial python in ancient times, its cultivation level was far beyond the ability of the current cultivators to deal with easily.
Tao Youyu was so nervous when he saw this. It was not uncommon for cultivators to die in the Immortal Alliance Competition. Although they were given a jade token before entering the Immortal Mountain, which could allow them to instantly eject from the mountain when encountering danger, there were always unexpected events.
Jiaojiao, who was sitting in Cloverford's arms, clenched her hands nervously. Li Yubai took Jiaojiao from Cloverford's arms and rubbed his palms with his eyes downcast. "It's okay. I'll help you keep an eye on him. He'll be fine."
Jiaojiao, who believed in her father unconditionally, nodded in trust.
After a while, Jiaojiao propped herself up and leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Daddy, Jiaojiao is a little hungry."
Li Yubai poked his soft cheek, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and took out a snack from the storage jade pendant and placed it in his hand. Jiaojiao chewed the snack with a smile on her face, and rubbed Li Yubai's chin with her head coquettishly, mumbling "Hello, Daddy" while eating.
The five senses of a monk are extremely sharp, so Cloverford and others naturally heard what Jiaojiao said. His violet eyes fell on Jiaojiao's cheeks that were bulging from eating snacks. After thinking for a while, he took out a snack from the storage jade pendant and stuffed it into Jiaojiao's hand.
Because of Jiaojiao's existence, Cloveford's storage container is always filled with various snacks and food.
After stuffing the snack into Jiaojiao's hand, Cloveford kept staring at Jiaojiao.
Noticing his gaze, Jiaojiao blinked in confusion, looked at the snack in her hand, then looked at him again. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she leaned forward to pass the snack to his mouth: "Daddy~"
Cloveford was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and took a bite of the dessert, still staring at Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao, who was chewing the snack in his hand, was confused and tilted his head, not understanding why his father was staring at him like that.
Seeing this, Huo Youqi on the side chuckled, leaned over and hugged Li Yubai from his arms... The smile on his face froze as he had never hugged anyone before, and he looked up at Li Yubai.
Li Yubai looked at him for a while before letting go of his hand that was around Jiaojiao's waist.
Huo Youqi smiled indifferently, hugged Jiaojiao, rubbed his furry head, and said with a smile: "He just wants you to praise him."
Jiaojiao turned to look at Cloveford after hearing this. Seeing that it was indeed the case, she reached out and threw herself into his arms: "Daddy, hold me."
After Cloveford brought him over, Jiaojiao put her arms around his neck and rubbed her face against his, making Cloveford's face covered with pastry residue. Her cat-like eyes curved and said, "Hello, Daddy. Jiaojiao likes Daddy."
This sentence resulted in Jiaojiao having two more pieces of snacks stuffed into her hands. After coaxing her two fathers in succession, Jiaojiao's belly was so bloated from eating four palm-sized snacks that her clothes were pushed out into a small arc.
Jiaojiao, feeling a little uncomfortable, lay in Hesniemen's arms, pulling his hand to place it on her belly. Her childish voice sounded soft and sticky: "Daddy, rub it for me."
There was a hint of tenderness in Hesnemen's golden eyes. He placed his big palm on his belly and rubbed his belly clockwise with appropriate strength.
Jiaojiao, who was being kneaded so comfortably, purred unconsciously, like a kitten who felt comfortable after having its fur stroked.
The first match of the Immortal Alliance Competition was neither difficult nor easy. It would take three days to get the results. Cultivators did not need sleep, so these three days were nothing for the cultivators in the audience, but it was a bit difficult for Tao Youyu, a foundation-building cultivator. Not long after the sun went down, he was hungry and went to eat with Jiaojiao.
In fact, it was not that he and Jiaojiao went to eat together, but that Jiaojiao did not forget to call him when her father took her to eat.
Tao Youyu was excited but also a little nervous as it was his first time to have dinner with so many big guys. He kept glancing at Cloveford during the meal. Thinking of the big guy's eyes that he had heard could see through the past and the future, he felt itchy and wondered if this big guy could see his past and future.
Cloverd, who noticed his gaze, ignored him. The boss ignored him, and Tao Youyu didn't dare to talk to him. So he planned to do something about Jiaojiao's thoughts that day and ask Jiaojiao to help him make some connections.
For a modern person, if a fortune teller who is very accurate appears in front of you, it is difficult to resist the urge to rush forward and have his fortune told.
While eating, Tao Youyu saw a stall selling ice cream cheese opposite, and he couldn't help but run over and buy six bowls. He, Jiaojiao, and the four big guys each had a bowl.
Ice yogurt is more tempting to children than any snacks or candies. After finishing a bowl, Jiaojiao stared at the empty bowl with an unsatisfied look. Seeing this, Li Yubai, who doesn't like sweets, handed him the bowl.
Jiaojiao waved her little paws and said, "Daddy eats it, Jiaojiao will buy more. Jiaojiao has money."
As he said this, he was about to slide down from the stool.
Li Yubai pulled him back and pushed the ice bowl in front of Jiaojiao: "You eat it, I don't like sweets."
Jiaojiao hesitated: "But, this is delicious~"
Seeing that daddy really didn't like it, Jiaojiao started eating happily again.
After eating two bowls, Jiaojiao couldn't help but buy another bowl when leaving. Seeing that Jiaojiao liked it, Li Yubai also bought a lot and put them in the storage container.
At night, Jiaojiao, lying in Li Yubai's arms, couldn't help but curl up and groan in discomfort.
Almost at the moment when Jiaojiao hummed, Li Yubai opened his eyes.
The difference will be made up immediately. If I am a little behind, I will send 7,000 first. The remaining 2,000 will be made up immediately.
