Chapter 69 What to do when Mom gets angry
The head of the Youyuan family imagined the worst possible outcome, but he dared not reveal a single word to anyone!
If the heads of other families were to learn that their young ancestor had been killed, they would surely conclude that the strength of the Youyuan family had been greatly diminished.
In this case, the Youyuan family might not be able to retain its position as one of the nine great families.
Therefore, the Youyuan family may not be qualified to participate in the next hunting competition.
Thinking of this, the head of the Youyuan family could only pretend to be worried and said:
"Everyone! As you probably know, the sacred beast raised by our Youyuan family is still a cub."
The cub, being playful, ran off on its own and won't be found for a while. Therefore, our Youyuan family is powerless to help with this space-tearing incident.
If any of you still have hidden treasures, please don't be stingy; bring them out as soon as possible and create another space.
Otherwise, the elite scions of our nine great families might not be able to return before the competition ends.
"At that point, the interests of our nine great families will be a small matter; if we anger that person in Ye Tan, we'll all suffer!"
Although the eight family heads were dissatisfied with what the Youyuan family head said, they were helpless.
But they already went to great lengths to tear through space once. Now they want them to do it again? Nobody has that kind of financial strength.
Seeing that all eight family heads shook their heads, the Youyuan family head, though still heartbroken over the death of his little ancestor, inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses. No matter how fierce Ye Tan is, he can't possibly kill all nine family heads, right?
Moreover, he will definitely need the nine major families in the future, so even if he is angry, he should still leave room for maneuver.
While the nine family heads were filled with anxiety, Xi'er, after repairing the spatial rift, finally noticed the Netherworld Vine, which had been broken into more than a dozen pieces and was scattered in the seawater.
“Qilu, have you noticed that these vines don’t look like sea plants, but rather like terrestrial plants?” Xi’er asked.
“Master, they are definitely not sea plants.”
Marine plants typically do not have a true distinction between roots, stems, and leaves; they grow into a simple leaf-like structure.
Although these vines were broken into many sections, it was clear that their roots, stems, and leaves were very well-developed, and they were lush and verdant.
Most importantly, after being soaked in seawater, their leaves began to turn yellow and even showed signs of dehydration, which are clearly symptoms of not adapting to sea salt.
Therefore, I can conclude that these plants are definitely not from the ocean, but rather from the land,” Qilu analyzed earnestly.
Hongyuan: Hmph! Looks like you're not too stupid after all!
"Now that it has been determined that it is a terrestrial plant, and it has coincidentally appeared near the spatial rift."
I suspect it's highly likely that it came from the other side of a spatial rift.
I just don't know what makes it so special that it's the only plant to have crossed the spatial rift.
"I need to take some samples back so Mom can study them carefully." After analyzing the samples, Xi'er arrived at a result that was very close to the truth.
Her mother's contracted plant, Wanwan, is none other than the famous Pure Moon Holy Lotus!
Previously, because the wood elemental energy in the Dust Continent was too thin, Wanwan had temporarily fallen into a deep sleep.
However, after ten years, with the help of my mother and the planting team brought by the Lord of Five Elements City, many wild plants have been planted on a large scale in the Dust Continent.
These wild plants greatly increased the concentration of wood elemental energy, which is why Wanwan awakened half a year ago.
Xi'er decided to take these plant samples back and give them to Wanwan. She believed that Wanwan would definitely be able to help her mother tame this plant and successfully cultivate branches.
Since it is an alien plant, it has already severed its connection with the original body in this world, having separated from the original body as a branch.
Once successfully cultivated, even if the main body reappears on the Dust Continent, the branch will no longer be affected by the main body.
Xi'er temporarily placed these plant samples in her hollowed-out silver sphere space, buried them in the soil, and then watered them with a bottle of nutrient solution prepared by panda.
This way, their vitality can be preserved to the greatest extent possible.
After Xi'er got ashore, she realized that Grandpa Ling must be worried sick about her, so she quickly set off for Dayuanhai.
When she returned to the Great Abyss Sea, the High Priest had been waiting for her for a long time.
After being drugged by Xi'er, the spirit boat continued to travel along the predetermined route. When they woke up, they had already reached the outer edge of the Great Abyss Sea.
Even if they returned at full speed, they couldn't catch up with Xi'er at all. The High Priest could only order his subordinates to keep a close watch on any news about Xi'er around the clock.
Now that she has returned safely, the high priest is finally relieved. He hadn't dared to tell the couple about what had happened before.
Ah Chen and the others also kept this matter a secret.
Xi'er is all grown up now, and no one can stop her from doing what she wants. Even if she tells her parents, it will only make them worry in vain.
Now that she has finally returned safely and brought back good news, Ah Chen has no more worries and has gone to complain.
"What?! This audacious girl actually dared to drug the High Priest and you, and then abandon you to go and repair the space?"
"This time I'm going to punish her severely, and no amount of pleading will work!" Yu Shan roared.
Seeing his wife's anger, Xiao Bai naturally didn't dare to speak up to persuade her, and instead turned to glare fiercely at his son:
That brat, can't he talk to his dad first before deciding whether or not to tell on him?
Xiao Bai always cherished his precious daughter like the apple of his eye. Now that he heard that his daughter was about to be punished, he dared not persuade her or argue back.
Taking advantage of Yu Shan's rage, he sneaked out and teleported several times, eventually finding his daughter by following her scent.
Xi'er, who had just been scolded by the High Priest, was feeling very depressed. She was about to go home and whine to her father when her father appeared in front of her with a panicked look on his face.
"What happened? Is the sky about to fall?" Xi'er asked, holding her father's hand.
"Isn't it like the sky is falling? Your mother is very angry. This time she's really furious and has decided to punish you severely."
"It's not that Dad doesn't want to help you, you know, when your mom gets angry, I have no choice but to obey," Xiaobai said.
Xi'er shook her head helplessly. Ever since she could remember, her father had been a typical henpecked husband. Expecting him to save her from her mother's clutches was like expecting her to do it herself.
"Dad, hurry up and find Uncle Xiaobao and Aunt Lingdeng, and do this and that..." She had a sudden inspiration and came up with a solution.
When Mom gets angry, no amount of persuasion works, so the only option left is to use Aunt Lingdeng, who is pregnant.
On the other side, just as Yu Shan was about to personally come and arrest her audacious daughter to take her back for punishment, she saw Xiao Bao running over in a panic.
"Sister Fan, something terrible has happened! Ah Deng's stomach hurts, I don't know if she's about to give birth!"
Xiao Bao isn't good at lying, especially to Sister Shanzi, but when his beloved niece Xi'er asks for help, he can't bear not to.
So he kept his head down while speaking, not daring to make eye contact with Sister Fan.
Fortunately, Sister Fan panicked as soon as she heard that Lingdeng might be about to have a baby, and didn't notice anything unusual about him.
In fact, as a jellyfish with many threads, the jellyfish's nervous system is very insensitive to pain.
Furthermore, jellyfish are naturally soft and elastic, so giving birth to a jellyfish is not painful at all.
But Yu Shan didn't know this. She had taken Xiao Bao in when he was less than a month old and raised him by her side. Although they addressed each other as brother and sister, in her heart, Xiao Bao was almost like her son.
Xiao Bao's wife is about to give birth, which is equivalent to his daughter-in-law giving birth. How could he not be anxious?
Bo Yiyan had already heard about the commotion, and he immediately gave Lingdeng a bottle of labor-inducing medicine.
He wasn't joking about Lingdeng's body to cooperate with Xi'er's acting.
In fact, he had been taking Lingdeng for prenatal checkups and knew that Lingdeng was about to give birth.
The labor-inducing potion he concocted would make childbirth smoother for Lingdeng, sparing her the pain of labor.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Lingdeng finally gave birth successfully.
She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. The older sister was a fluffy, pure white female iron-eating beast, while the younger brother was a small, transparent, pinkish-blue mushroom.
The moment these two adorable siblings were born, everyone's attention was drawn to them.
Even Yu Shan temporarily forgot about punishing his own daughter.
However, Xi'er knew very well that her mother had only temporarily forgotten and would definitely hold her accountable later.
While everyone was gathered around the babies, Xi'er slipped the gift she had prepared into Xiao Bao's uncle's hand and then quietly slipped out of the room.
She had just slipped out when someone grabbed her by the collar from behind.
"My dear Xi'er, what are you planning to do?" A familiar voice rang in my ears.
