To be honest, Wen Ziqing missed Zhou Yuanyuan so much these days that his heart ached.
When he was at the front line, Wen Ziqing thought every day about going back to Kyoto to visit his little girl during his vacation. He didn't expect that not only would his vacation be ruined by Liu Jingyun, but Wen Ziqing was also kidnapped by Liu Jingyun to such a place.
The moment Wen Ziqing heard Zhou Yuanyuan's voice, his heart leaped with joy. Then, remembering his own situation, he felt a surge of worry. His little girl, while capable, was in a place filled with so many experts. He hoped she wouldn't run into any danger.
In his past lives, Wen Ziqing had come into contact with the community of cultivators for the first time. Before this encounter, Wen Ziqing had always believed that with his skills, he could effectively protect those he sought to protect. After witnessing Liu Jingyun's fighting prowess, Wen Ziqing's confidence was shattered. Not to mention the presence of the Taoist Baopu.
To convince Wen Ziqing to practice with him, Taoist Baopu demonstrated his skills. They hugged a thick pine tree, and Taoist Baopu reduced it to dust with a single, effortless palm strike. Wen Ziqing suspected that Taoist Baopu was even more powerful than Liu Jingyun, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get Liu Jingyun to do his bidding.
"Brother Ziqing, you don't want to see me so much?" When Zhou Yuanyuan saw Wen Ziqing asked her to leave as soon as he opened his mouth, she couldn't help but think of his meeting with He Jingjing just now, and felt a little unhappy.
"Yuanyuan, it's not fun here. It's dangerous." Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's accusing look, Wen Ziqing couldn't hold back his longing any longer. He reached out a large hand and rubbed Zhou Yuanyuan's black head. The furry touch was as good as ever, and Wen Ziqing couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It had been over three months, and while he was away, he had no idea if the little girl had eaten well. She hadn't grown at all and was still as thin as before. Why was it so difficult to get her to put on some weight?
Seeing Wen Ziqing messing with her hair again, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but pout. She shook her head, trying to get rid of Wen Ziqing's big hand on her head, but she couldn't help but retort, "So what? Brother Ziqing, you suddenly disappeared, and my father and great-grandfather are all very worried."
Seeing that the little girl still didn't like others touching her hair, Wen Ziqing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. He didn't know why this little girl was so obsessed with beauty. A teenage girl didn't even want to mess up her hair. Hearing Zhou Yuanyuan mention General Zhou and Zhou Zhixin, Wen Ziqing's expression couldn't help but become serious. He reluctantly put down the "mischievous" big hand on Zhou Yuanyuan's head and asked, "Yuanyuan, are the commanders and others in good health?"
Wen Ziqing disappeared in a field hospital, and disappeared in such a strange way in full view of the public. One can imagine how much work pressure General Zhou and Zhou Zhixin were under.
"They're fine. Grandpa Zeng eats two bowls of rice at a meal. He just misses Grandpa Xi terribly." Zhou Yuanyuan thought of her own "old child" General Zhou and Zhou Xi in the trial world, and couldn't help but smile. I wonder if Grandpa Zeng would be happy to see his beloved friend become such a handsome man? Or would he feel inferior?
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to tell Wen Ziqing about the Chaos Pearl for now, and she could only keep Zhou Xi's matter to herself for now. There were many cultivators in the secret realm, and many of them were likely highly skilled. If anyone knew she had such a powerful spiritual treasure and wanted to steal it, Zhou Yuanyuan wouldn't have to do anything every day. Just dealing with the cultivators trying to steal it would be enough of a headache for her.
"Yuanyuan, thank you for your hard work." Wen Ziqing couldn't help but feel a little sorry for General Zhou Yuanyuan, remembering his temper. General Zhou had a life of military service and a bad temper. After Zhou Xi's departure, it's easy to imagine how lonely General Zhou must have felt. It was fortunate that Zhou Yuanyuan didn't mind the old man's annoyance and often returned to the old house to keep General Zhou company.
"It's okay, he's my great-grandfather! I love him." Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes narrowed with a smile when she spoke of General Zhou. While Zhou Yuanyuan was in a coma, General Zhou, despite being busy with work, would still take a day or two out of his week to visit her in the hospital. To Zhou Yuanyuan, General Zhou didn't seem like a general, but just an ordinary, stubborn, and awkward old man.
"Yuanyuan, did the general ask you to investigate me?" Wen Ziqing remembered that Zhou Yuanyuan was a non-staff member of the "Special Operations Team" and had once carried out missions for the "Special Operations Team". Recalling his own strange disappearance this time, he basically guessed why Zhou Yuanyuan appeared here.
"Well, Brother Ziqing, there just happened to be cameras installed in the hospital! I just followed your scent all the way here." Zhou Yuanyuan smiled. It was Zhou Yuanyuan who brought up the idea of cameras so that Zhou Zhixin could fool some people, but she hadn't expected that she would use it to fool Wen Ziqing now.
In order to make the lie come true, Zhou Yuanyuan never forgets to make up lies for her father.
"That's good! I was really worried that Xiaohu and the others would be frightened." Wen Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhou Yuanyuan's explanation. Xiaohu's face was filled with terror the moment he rushed into the room. Wen Ziqing wondered what Xiaohu's impression of them and the others was. Since there were cameras, everything should be able to be restored to its true state.
"Brother Ziqing, something's a little strange here. Once I figure out how to get out, let's go together! That Taoist Baopu doesn't look like a good person to me!" Zhou Yuanyuan shared her plans with Wen Ziqing. After all, their families were away, and while the spiritual energy in the secret realm was rich, Zhou Yuanyuan had no desire to stay. If Wen Ziqing wanted to cultivate, he could do so in the secular world as well.
"Yuanyuan, I...I want to stay and learn some skills." This sentence rolled on Wen Ziqing's tongue for a few times before he finally said it.
Isn't the pursuit of great power every man desires? In his previous life, he'd been so absorbed in the pursuit of martial arts that he hadn't even had time to pursue a girlfriend. In this life, with such a golden opportunity, he should diligently learn his skills. He hoped that in the future, he could be the one protecting Zhou Yuanyuan, rather than being protected by her. Wen Ziqing thought.
"Brother Ziqing, what did you say?" Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't expect Wen Ziqing to answer like that. Shouldn't he be happy to see her and go home with her immediately? Brother Ziqing's dream has always been to become a soldier to defend his country! Besides, although Zhou Yuanyuan was young in this life, she could still tell that Wen Ziqing's eyes were full of affection when he looked at her.
