Chapter 480 Dear Host Child (Finale)
Ji Ruo was very confused: "What about you using blood connections to send messages to Dabao and Erbao? They said that your life in Yunlutian is miserable..."
“It’s so tragic!”
Upon hearing this, Jinglan couldn't help but complain bitterly.
"You may not know, although Yunlutian is the place where birds like me ascend to heaven, you can see that the environment is very harsh!"
Ji Ruo: “?”
Something is not right.
"There's no signal, no wifi, and not even a place to charge!" Jing Lan said in a stern voice, "Aunt, it was pretty good when I first came here. I brought a smart terminal with me, and downloaded hundreds of thousands of TV series, movies, novels, and comics... Although the conditions were tough, I could barely endure it.
The key is, Auntie, I forgot to bring my solar charger!"
Jing Lan felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke: "After the smart terminal ran out of power, I tried every possible way, but failed to recharge it. Later, I went to find Tian Feng Qing Long, also known as the Heavenly King, and wanted to go back to Da Xia, but Tian Feng Qing Long would not let me... He is a six-star! I couldn't beat him, so I didn't do anything. I could only return to my airspace and continue to think of a solution...
If you had taught me the Breath of Thunder before, wouldn’t it have advanced my bloodline and enabled me to control thunder? I really had no other choice, so I tried it, but… I couldn’t control the strength, and the smart terminal exploded!”
Ji Ruo: "...So what is the message you passed on to Dabao and the others through the bloodline memory?"
Jing Lan nodded: "That's right, Auntie, I'm almost bored to death, and I have nothing else to do, so I tried every means to improve the way of inheriting bloodline memory... Let my son practice quickly, pass the star tribulation, and bring me a smart terminal and a solar-powered charging treasure.
However, perhaps because of the lack of improvement, the information transmitted is intermittent... I suspect it may be because I am still alive. After all, blood inheritance requires the death of the inheritor, and only then will the information be recorded in the blood of the same clan.
I was still figuring out how to fake my death and you guys showed up."
Jing Lan said with anticipation: "How is it, Ji Ruo, did you bring the stuff? So many years have passed, has the second season of "The Lost Son-in-law" been released? And, has that comic been finished? That one..."
Gu Xingzhou was confused: "So you're going to improve the bloodline inheritance technique for such a trivial matter?!"
"What do you mean it's just a small matter!" Jing Lan was unhappy: "There is no internet, no electricity, no signal, you can try it for a few years! You can't stand and talk without any pain in your waist, you are asking for a beating, right?
Gu boy, let me tell you, you can’t beat me!”
“…”
Gu Xingzhou coughed dryly: "Well, Ji Ruo is still here, can't you give me some face... By the way, why did you fight with them?"
"Because of Shixian." Jinglan said as a matter of course: "I have seen the statue of the Martial Saint of your Great Xia, and I recognized Shixian at the first sight. I thought that since he came, Ji Ruo must have come too. Ji Ruo has many ways and can definitely help me solve my problems. But when I saw that Shixian had been forced to become a saint, I was afraid that Ji Ruo would be in a dangerous state. I was anxious and started fighting with them.
Then we got so angry that we couldn't stop. You all know what happened next."
Gu Xingzhou: “…”
Ji Ruo: “…”
What a misunderstanding!
Ji Xiaoxiao raised his thumb and praised, "Great job! Aunt Jinglan, you almost tore down Yunlutian just for watching a drama."
"You guys are really capable."
"Auntie, you are too modest."
Ji Xiaoxiao and Jinglan's business are praising each other.
Ji Ruo was speechless.
At this moment, he was using the technique of 'fighting with both hands' to divide his mind, communicating with the two elders with his spiritual consciousness, and beating up those five-star lords who had lost their will to fight.
After Ji Xiaoxiao took out a piece of Tianfeng Qinglong's demon body, those five-star lords no longer had any greed and only wanted to escape.
Feng Yinlong was trembling as he held the fragments of the fantasy creation that were bitten into pieces by Rosie.
Inside the body of the Giant of Light, adults and children were having fun, as if they were doing exercises together, working together to crush a group of five-star lords. The adults were shouting with excitement, and the children were calling the Armor Hero invincible.
As more and more 'fresh ingredients' were available, Ji Ruo felt a little embarrassed to continue fighting.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting!" Feng Yinlong saw that the wealth he had accumulated over the years was dwindling, and he shouted hurriedly, "We are willing to surrender, please stop fighting, Your Excellency!"
Ji Ruo stopped when he heard this and snorted coldly: "Humph! If Aunt Jinglan hadn't been kind-hearted and forgave you, today's matter would never have been let go!"
"Yes, yes, you are right..."
"You're just trying to please me, right?"
Ji Ruo sneered, and the Giant of Light raised his hand, pinching the frightened Wind Dragon between his fingers as if he were pinching an earthworm.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Ruo had already collected the broken magic pearl. It was at this moment that Ji Ruo learned the name of this magic pearl.
Its name is 'Yunlutian's Exclusive Secret Realm Control Divine Pearl', which is equivalent to Yunlutian's world editor. The holder can modify Yunlutian at will according to his preferences.
Ji Ruo thought for a moment, took out a small hammer and glue, and repaired it barely. Then, with a thought, he used the bead to control the power of heaven and earth in Yunlutian, condensed an unprecedented floating continent, and dissolved the fusion.
Hundreds of millions of people actually appeared in Yunlutian for the first time, looking around curiously.
Ji Ruo suggested that the lords leave some of their monster bodies as 'money for their lives', and he wanted to hold a grand banquet here.
Feng Yin Long was controlled by Ji Ruo with the "Human Fireworks", Jing Lan was flying in the sky, Tong Tian Jian Mu was blocking the space, and Luo Qian, who was promoted to five stars, was ferocious and extremely hungry... Add to that the intimidation of the six-star Demon Emperor Tian Feng Qing Long's demon body, and the lords had no intention of resisting at all.
One by one, they used the ultimate magic to control the heavens and the earth. Their bodies were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of feet long. With painful expressions on their faces, they followed Ji Ruo's request and left part of their bodies behind.
In fact, because the number of people participating in the banquet was so large, there was still not enough food for just these five-star lords.
Moreover, the five-star flesh and blood contains extremely rich energy. Ordinary people may not be able to bear even one bite, so it is not suitable as a staple food.
So Ji Ruo asked them to get "ingredients" from their respective races...
The Tongtian Jianmu possesses the nutrients of three worlds (Wanbeast Mountain, Nightmare Sea, and Yunlutian), and condenses a large number of spiritual fruits and plants to provide food for Ji Ruo.
Ji Ruo summoned countless shadow clones, used his own martial arts golden body as a cooking utensil, burned mountains and boiled seas, cooked big monsters, and warmly entertained the people who came to participate in the fusion this time.
At this moment, Yunlutian has gathered nearly 80% of the residents of Daxia, as well as a large number of gods and adventurers from the Mother Earth Continent.
Such a grand banquet and the joyful atmosphere reflect the true meaning of "food is the first necessity of the people".
Everyone was eating delicious food and chatting, with laughter and joy all around.
The undisguised true feelings turned into incense and birds rose up, converging on Ji Ruo, unexpectedly raising Ji Ruo's status to the level of a six-star god in an instant!
Although he is still not good at fighting, when it comes to cooking, he can cook anything!
…………
After the banquet, Ji Ruo temporarily returned to Daxia.
Gu Xingzhou said: "Ji Ruo, I will not accompany you on the rest of the journey."
"Why?"
Gu Xingzhou recalled the short journey he had taken with Ji Ruo and said with emotion, "Originally, I thought that if I went out with you, I could help you if you encountered any danger, but... I have only caused you trouble along the way."
"No, Uncle Gu, where do you get this from?"
Gu Xingzhou sighed, then smiled and said, "It's not good to refuse to admit old age. Thanks to you, I got to eat the six-star demon emperor hot pot this time, and the harvest was quite big... You don't need to persuade me. I will be more useful staying in Daxia than going out with you.
For example, in this case..."
Ji Ruo was silent for a moment.
This fusion happened suddenly, not only without prior notice, but also on a scale far greater than the last battle with Charles.
All industries in Daxia were almost paralyzed, and the economic losses caused were difficult to estimate.
It was precisely because of this that Ji Ruo came back temporarily—the impact was too great.
Fortunately, everyone who participated in the fusion also gained a lot of benefits, whether it was the martial arts experience shared during the fusion, or the banquet afterwards... Everyone gained a lot, and no one would blame Ji Ruo, but...
Gu Xingzhou said: "I, your uncle, am old, but I have not accomplished anything great. I served as the Director of the Education Department for a few years. During my tenure, the biggest change in the history of the military examination occurred...
I rushed into the Beast Mountain to save people and almost got myself killed, but in the end, I was saved by you and Shixian...
After leaving office, I thought I would continue to be stationed at the border, slaying demons and monsters, sanctifying and redeeming my sins. Unexpectedly, I ended up going to the Beast Mountain to be a live streamer...
Let’s not mention Babaozhai at that time. Apart from giving Li Guanqi half a life, it didn’t help much.
Later, at the Martial Arts Conference, I thought about breaking through my own realm and winning the first place in the world for Daxia. But if it weren’t for you, my old brothers and I wouldn’t even be able to make it into the top ten…”
Gu Xingzhou was filled with emotion, while Ji Ruo listened quietly.
"Ji Ruo, you are much more capable than me. To be fair, if I were in the same situation as you, I would be lucky enough not to resent this society. I would never have done so many things.
Now you see how good our Great Xia is. The price of magical medicine is not much more expensive than cabbage, and every household can afford it.
The dead can return to the world of the living and reunite with their families..."
"I'm old now. If I go out with you, I won't be able to help you much except causing trouble. It's embarrassing to go with you shamelessly... It's better for you to stay in Daxia. At least if you encounter a similar situation in the future and need Daxia's help, I can help you at the first time..."
Ji Ruo opened his mouth.
"You are still young and capable. The world is big and you should go see it.
Now that I think about it, I seem to have been avoiding it all the time. I don't know when my heart for martial arts was no longer pure, so that for all these years, I have not been able to break through the mirror of heaven... Li Guanqi was in the same grade as me. I beat him up when I was in school, but what happened? Now he can kill me with one sword. How can you explain this..."
Gu Xingzhou talked a lot, and it sounded like he was explaining his final wishes. There was no central idea, and the topics were rather scattered.
But Ji Ruo didn't feel bothered.
This kind of nagging from elders reveals their genuine concern.
"...I have said a lot without realizing it, Ji Ruo, please don't think I am nagging you. It's mainly because I think I may rarely see you in the future. I also gave half my life to Li Guanqi's family. I am afraid you don't have many years left to live. Your trip..."
Ji Ruo couldn't help but said, "Uncle Gu, I have a portal, have you forgotten? No matter how far away from Da Xia I am, I can still come back for three meals a day!"
"???"
Gu Xingzhou glared and said, "Forget about the door for now! I finally managed to stir up some emotions, can you please stop interrupting me?"
Ji Ruo said cheerfully: "Okay, okay, I forgot, you continue."
Gu Xingzhou glared at Ji Ruo unhappily and said, "What else can I say now? In short, remember that Da Xia will always be your strongest backing. When you are out and about and encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate, just speak up, and Da Xia will do its best to help you.
My child, no matter where you go in the future, this will always be your home."
"Well, I know. Don't worry, Uncle Gu. I bought a house in Daxia." Ji Ruo said seriously.
Gu Xingzhou was speechless: "That's not what I meant... Never mind."
"And the child Se-hyun... can you save him?"
Ji Ruo scratched his head: "The main problem with the squad leader now is that in order to maintain his semi-sanctified state, his consciousness has fallen into silence and cannot be awakened by conventional means.
But Ji Xiaoxiao's guy has become a dream master, and Luo Qian has also reached five stars, so she can use more powerful monster talents. With Liang Xiaoxiao's cooperation... it won't be a problem to wake up the squad leader, but I don't know how long it will take."
"Well, it's good that he can be awakened." Gu Xingzhou nodded, and then said: "Then I will go to the General Affairs Department first. I have to give an explanation for this incident."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Gu."
…
After sending Gu Xingzhou away through the magic door, Ji Ruo returned to his home.
"Master, you're back!"
As soon as White Cat and Rosie saw Ji Ruo, they immediately came over.
Ji Ruo looked at the statue in the center of the living room and asked, "What's going on?"
Ji Xiaoxiao and Liang Xiaoxiao emerged from the statue, looking exhausted. "Fortunately, we have the help of the junior monitor. The senior monitor has already shown some reaction. The rest just needs time to polish it. It shouldn't take long."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Luo Xi hurriedly said: "Master, master, I also helped a lot!"
Ji Ruo rubbed her head and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Luo Xi, haha."
"Hey, Master, is there any reward?"
"Hmm? What do you want?"
Luo Xi licked her lips and said, "I want to eat candy! Master, please take me to the supermarket!"
"OK."
Even if she had not refused, ever since the last time she went out alone and was attacked by the bald donkey in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, Rosie had developed a psychological trauma about going out alone in Daxia.
Even though it’s already a five-star hotel, I still don’t dare to go shopping in the supermarket alone.
Ji Ruo said to Ji Xiaoxiao, "I'll take them to buy some food. Do you want anything to eat? I'll bring it to you."
"Go ahead, go ahead. I have no appetite now."
"All right."
When Ji Ruo left the house, Luo Xi seemed to have returned to the time when she first met Ji Ruo. She lay on top of his head, and the white cat squatted on Ji Ruo's shoulder.
Just after leaving home, the door opposite Ji Ruo's house suddenly opened. Emily said in surprise, "Oh, what a coincidence, Ji Ruo, you're going out too?"
Silla mercilessly exposed Emily: "Ji Ruo is now a six-star god, with a stronger divine awareness than you and me. How could he not know that you have been lying on the door through the cat's eye to see when he will leave? If you want to lie, make up a better lie!"
Emily was annoyed: "You waited too, didn't you? Why are you blaming me? Besides, this is called a chance encounter of romance, don't you understand?"
"You know romance?"
"Humph! I am no longer the Emily of the past!" Emily raised her head proudly: "Now I am the Emily who has read a lot of books and is very knowledgeable!"
"You've only read a few urban romance novels and a few campus idol dramas, and you've done what you can do!"
"Didn't you watch it too?"
Seeing that the two goddesses were about to quarrel again, Ji Ruo said cheerfully, "Okay, okay, I'm going to take Luo Xi and the others to the supermarket. Do you want to come?"
"Yes, yes!"
Emily cheered and went forward to hold Ji Ruo's arm.
Sheila glared and hugged the other side unwillingly.
…………
"Ji Ruo, what does the Rainbow Sea look like?"
Emily suddenly asked, "Tim said that you had been to the Rainbow Sea before in the Nightmare Sea. He also said that it was a very beautiful but extremely scary place... I can't imagine it. Can you tell me about it?"
"Hmm." Ji Ruo tilted his head and thought for a moment: "You two should let go first and let me see."
Then Ji Ruo threw his shoes to ask for directions and confirmed the direction of the Rainbow Sea.
Then he clenched his hands into fists, activated his 'Clairvoyance', and looked in that direction.
The surrounding scenery rapidly receded, and countless scenes were reflected in Ji Ruo's eyes, changing rapidly.
His sight spanned an unknown distance, passed through countless secret realms, and finally stopped at a certain place.
"Huh?"
Ji Ruo suddenly let out a light exclamation. He seemed to see the "edge" of the world, and then passed through it.
What came into view was an indescribably huge "ocean" with countless bubbles floating in it.
Those 'bubbles' seemed endless, each with a different color: red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue and violet, seven colors in total.
If you look closely, you will find that there is no "bubble" there! It is clearly a different world of different sizes!
Seven colors correspond to seven different levels, from low to high. Within the purple 'bubble', there is even a terrifying existence that makes Ji Ruo feel suffocated just by looking at it.
Between the ebb and flow of the 'Rainbow Sea', occasionally 'bubbles' will be squeezed out of the 'ocean', fall down, and become... a newly arrived secret place? !
"Rainbow...World Sea?"
Ji Ruo was a little shocked, but then he suddenly realized: "So that's it, this is the Rainbow Sea!"
There are countless worlds of all kinds. Theoretically, all things, dreams, rules... can be found in them. The rainbow world has everything that can be imagined or unimaginable, everything!
"No wonder...what you wish for will come true, so this is what it means..."
Ji Ruo whispered.
Emily was puzzled: "What's wrong? What did you see? What does the Rainbow Sea look like?"
"It's hard to describe." Ji Ruo scratched his head, then grinned: "But I can tell you that it is a very, very fun place. Even if you play there for ten thousand years or a hundred thousand years, you will never get bored!"
"real?!"
Emily's eyes lit up: "Then let's go!"
"No hurry, wait until the squad leader wakes up."
…………
In the supermarket, Ji Ruo, Sheila and a skeleton soldier were pushing a shopping cart, with sisters Rosie and Emily sitting in the cart respectively...
Fortunately, Ji Ruo had given everyone [Disguise] and [Sense of Immersion] in advance, otherwise we would definitely be surrounded by onlookers.
Sister Rosie's eyes lit up, and they wanted to try every snack they saw. Soon their shopping carts were filled up.
Ji Ruo had to go to the checkout first, stuff all the things into his four-dimensional pocket, and then come back to shop again.
It wasn’t long before the snacks in this supermarket were sold out…
As a last resort, they changed to another one.
After changing three supermarkets in a row, the Rosie sisters finally stopped, feeling unsatisfied.
On the way back, they passed by a canteen. Luo Xi wanted to buy something again. Ji Ruo said seriously, "Buy more after you finish eating. We have already bought a lot. It's enough to last us for a long time."
Luo Xi said aggrievedly: "Master, it's not easy to come back to Daxia once, let's buy some more. There is no canteen outside..."
The white cat also said, "Yes, yes, Master, please buy some more!"
Ji Ruo: “…”
How did you survive when there was no canteen in Wanshou Mountain?
"Okay, but you can only take one more thing, don't take too much!" Ji Ruo said, "If you want to eat it in the future, we can just use the Anywhere Door to come back and buy it."
"Uh-huh!"
When they entered the canteen, they were only allowed to take one snack. Rosie and the white cat were very serious and confused, not knowing what to take.
While waiting, Ji Ruo turned his head and found three elementary school students carrying school bags, who seemed to have just finished school.
One of them held a one-yuan coin and wanted to buy a bag of spicy noodles for 50 cents, but he could only buy two bags, but there were three of them.
They struggled for a long time but still couldn't make up their minds.
The canteen owner said, "Hey, hey, hey, you three, don't gather together there, there are surveillance cameras in my store!"
Seeing this, Ji Ruo took the initiative to step forward and asked, "Little boy, do you want to eat? Brother can buy it for you. You can eat as many packs as you want."
These three children were influenced by Ji Ruo and had participated in the two big mergers. However, Ji Ruo was in disguise now, so they did not recognize him.
Ji Ruo's face is extremely well-known in Daxia.
The three children were very cautious, but they accepted Ji Ruo's kindness.
They only took an extra bag of spicy strips worth 50 cents and planned to give the one-yuan coin to Ji Ruo.
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "No, no, brother will treat you to a meal."
As he spoke, he took out a fifty-cent coin from his four-dimensional pocket, handed it to the other party, and said, "Here, you can continue to buy next time. Just one pack per person."
The three children were a little stunned. They looked at each other and ran out.
Emily kept muttering, "What? You are such an impolite child."
Ji Ruo smiled and shook his head but said nothing.
Soon, the Rosie sisters picked out their snacks, paid for them, and left the canteen.
As soon as I went out, I found that the three children were still waiting there.
One of them stuffed a small piece of paper into Ji Ruo's hand that looked like it had just been torn from a workbook. The word "thank you" was written crookedly on it, and then turned and ran away.
Ji Ruo smiled and said, "It turns out that it's not impolite, it's shy."
Xila asked: "Ji Ruo, why do you do this?"
"Why?"
Ji Ruo looked reminiscent, "The last time I went to the future, I found my lost memories and remembered that my childhood was not very happy.
My parents died young, and I lived in an orphanage when I was a child. Life was very difficult, and I wanted to eat snacks but couldn’t afford them.
Now that I'm grown up and can eat whatever I want, I can't seem to find that feeling anymore...
Well, you are gods, and you may not understand what I am saying."
Ji Ruo thought for a moment and said, "People will eventually be troubled by the things they didn't get when they were young. When I treated those three kids to spicy noodles, I was actually treating my younger self. Fortunately..."
Luo Xi tilted her head and said, "Then why doesn't the master just take a time machine back to the past and treat the young master to a meal in person?"
Ji Ruo: "...You can't let me slap you for a bit, can you? You're out of snacks!"
"No, Master!"
Rosie meowed miserably.
Ji Ruo laughed heartily and finished the rest of the sentence in his mind:
'Fortunately, I met a system teacher.'
The system teacher seemed to sense Ji Ruo's feelings, and a gentle female voice suddenly sounded -
[Dear host, have you failed the expectations of your elders? ]
[Dear host, have you found pure happiness again? ]
[Dear host, have you forgotten your dreams? ]
[Dear host, are you...]
…
[Dear host children, please don’t stop moving forward, please maintain your curiosity and enthusiasm for the world, please don’t stop exploring, and please grow up healthier and happier! ]
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, System Teacher."
