Chapter 592: The Old Immortal's Painting Style is Like This (Part 2)
"Sure! What kind of fruits are there? Do you have strawberries or cherries? And that yogurt and ice cream that Ruan Xiaoqi always eats, I've been wanting to try them for a long time!"
"..." Ruan Fengmian didn't expect that the old immortal would have this kind of style, and he was about to walk out in a daze.
At this moment, Bai Li suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Ruan Fengmian, who was in a trance, was startled.
Bai Li rubbed his beard sheepishly and said shamelessly, "I'd really like to try the feast you guys prepared tonight. I remember there are a few meat dishes left. Could you bring them in for me?"
Everyone in the Ruan family: "..."
…
As Ruan Qi's savior, the Ruan family would definitely not let Bai Li eat leftovers.
So, Ruan Fengmian and Ruan Munan rolled up their sleeves and went to the kitchen to cook a few new dishes, all of which were meat dishes.
Bai Li hadn't had a home-cooked meal for a year since his spiritual power dried up. Looking at the table full of meat, his appetite suddenly whetted, and he devoured it all.
The Ruan family was shocked by Bai Li's ferocious eating style.
"Senior Bai, Bai Li, please eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll make you more." Ruan Fengmian was worried that the old immortal would choke, so he poured a cup of yogurt and pushed it in front of him. "If you want to eat it in the future, let Xiao Qi tell us. We don't have anything else at home, but we will provide you with enough food and drink."
Bai Li was busy eating and could only give him a thumbs-up with her eyes.
The meal was quickly finished. In less than twenty minutes, Bai Li had eaten all four meat dishes and three bowls of rice.
Bai Li leaned back in the chair, burped contentedly, then picked up the ice cream beside him and took a big scoop.
"I haven't had such a delicious meal in a long time." He finished his ice cream and stroked his beard with satisfaction. "Now that we've had enough food and drink, let's get down to business."
Upon hearing this, the Ruan family immediately removed the small dining table and closed the study door again.
"Senior Bai Li," Nie Beilou said, "I'd like to know about Xiao Qi's fate."
Ruan Qi's fate was no longer a secret, and Bai Li had nothing to hide, so she told it directly.
"Seventh Girl's original fate was that she would not live past the age of twenty. You should be familiar with her mental state. According to her fate, she would die from a mental breakdown in a nightmare before her twentieth birthday."
Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu didn't expect that their daughter actually had this kind of fate, and their faces changed.
At this time, Bai Li said again: "But don't worry. Her doom is over. As long as she accumulates a hundred years of life, she will die like a normal person."
When the Ruan family heard this, they were all stunned.
"Enough lifespan?"
Seeing the Ruan family's reaction, Bai Li turned around and asked Ruan Qi, "Didn't you tell them about this?"
"Ah..." Ruan Qi scratched her nose, "I was just busy confessing and didn't have time to say it."
Bai Li heard this and nodded: "Okay. Then let me tell you."
"After I bonded with Qi Yatou, I used up all my spiritual energy in order to save her. Therefore, Qi Yatou must accumulate enough faith points to restore my spiritual energy so that I can restore her lifespan."
The Ruan family now understood.
"...So, Xiao Qi insisted on entering the entertainment industry in order to collect faith points?" Ruan Munan asked.
Ruan Qi nodded her head.
Ruan Munan couldn't help but show heartache in his eyes.
No wonder Ruan Qi insisted on entering the entertainment industry a year ago. Everyone originally thought she liked acting, but they didn't expect the truth to be this.
When Yang Liu thought about the nineteen-year-old girl who was single-handedly fighting in the entertainment industry with a lot of secrets, her eyes became red again.
She waved to Ruan Qi, her tone gentle: "Baby, come to mommy."
Ruan Xiaoqi, who had been sitting on a small bench for a long time, immediately ran over happily.
"Mother."
Yang Liu hummed and hugged the little girl tightly, as if she was holding a lost treasure.
Nie Beilou turned his head to look at Ruan Qi and asked Bai Li, "So, as long as Xiao Qi accumulates enough faith points, she can survive?"
Bai Li: "In theory, that's true, but the premise is that no accidents happen. If the bound person dies in the process of accumulating faith points, the binding relationship will be automatically released."
In other words, if Ruan Qi really encountered an accident as the hexagram said, then the 100-year life mission would be automatically lifted, and she would not have the chance to come back to life again.
So, the focus of the matter now returns to the crisis predicted by old Davis.
As long as the crisis is not eliminated, there will always be a knife hanging around Ruan Qi's neck.
The expressions of everyone in the Ruan family were somewhat solemn.
Bai Li noticed that the atmosphere in the study was not good, so she spoke to comfort everyone, "Don't be too nervous. Seventh Girl has bound herself to me and has become a body of nothingness again. A body of nothingness merges with the heaven and earth, enjoying the vitality of heaven and earth. As long as we find that ray of hope, she can survive."
"But..." Ruan Munan frowned, "But didn't old Duke Davis say that Xiao Qi's chance of survival lies with someone else? If we can't find this person, then Xiao Qi..."
Will he die?
Ruan Munan didn't dare to say these two words.
Vitality is something that cannot be seen or touched, and is extremely mysterious. Even if the Ruan family is very capable, they don’t know how to find it.
What's more, Old Davis also said that Ruan Qi's chance of survival lies in others.
Who is that other person? Is he good or evil? Is he willing to save Ruan Qi?
All of this is unknown.
Everyone in the Ruan family had a feeling that they had the will but were powerless to do anything.
Seeing everyone like this, Bai Li couldn't help but say, "Actually, there's no need to overthink it right now. The fact that Seventh Girl was able to come back from the dead and meet me shows that she has luck that ordinary people don't have. People with luck can remain as tenacious as grass even after enduring countless hardships. Besides, don't you still have me?"
"I don't have enough spiritual power right now, so I can't use many of my magical powers. Once Xiao Qi has accumulated enough faith points and my spiritual power has recovered, I can personally calculate for her where her chance of survival lies."
"Also, even if the person possessing the vitality was unwilling to save Xiao Qi, and she was indeed in danger in the end, as long as I can recover to my peak state, I can ensure that she will not die."
As a divine artifact born from heaven and earth, Baili actually has great abilities.
But he doesn't have enough spiritual power now, so he can't use any of his abilities.
Therefore, you still have to collect faith points.
"Besides collecting Faith Points, what else can we do?" Ruan Fengmian asked Bai Li. "Master Beilou just said that he wants to ask some friends in the metaphysical world to help Xiaoqi capture Life Force. Will this be helpful?"
Bai Li nodded and said, "We can give it a try. Although Taoism is still relatively unknown in today's society, there is strength in numbers. Perhaps someone can really find a way out. If possible, find a few more talented people to help Xiao Qi deduce his fate."
Bai Li paused and continued, "Besides that, there's one more thing I need to discuss with you. These past few days, I've been wondering who will bring back the Seventh Girl's life. Davis said that the person who carries the life force is deeply entangled with the Seventh Girl and is closely tied to her fate."
"But Seventh Girl has only just turned twenty, and has only experienced one-fifth of her life. In just twenty years, who would be so deeply entangled with her? Besides you family members, that incident ten years ago...shouldn't it be counted as well?"
