"It's alright, I'll dig a little longer," Ji Fengyao declined Xique's offer, but her smile did indeed reveal a hint of fatigue.
The two were talking in hushed tones when Qian Youying, who was not far away, suddenly let out a muffled groan.
Everyone's attention was drawn to his sudden, muffled groan.
Zhuang Shaoze, who was closest to him, looked at his pointed fox ears and rosy cheeks and laughed, "It's pitch black here, what are you doing conjuring up a fox form? Miss is far away from you."
Qian Youying pressed one hand tightly to her chest, squatted on the ground without answering him, her shoulders slightly hunched, as if she was enduring something.
An Zijin noticed something was wrong with him and quickly went to check on him: "Qian Youying, what's wrong?"
Ji Fengyao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly ran over and grabbed Qian Youying's wrist.
His pulse was so fast and rapid that one might suspect his arteries were about to bulge out of his skin in rebellion.
“It’s coming out…” Qian Youying struggled to lift his head, his handsome face flushed red, his beautiful eyes bloodshot and glistening with tears: “It’s right in front… very close… very close…!”
No one else knew what Qian Youying was talking about, except for Ji Fengyao, who knew he was referring to the heart of an immortal!
Ji Fengyao knew Qian Youying couldn't take it anymore, so she gripped his hand tightly and tried to say, "Go in!"
The next second, Qian Youying disappeared on the spot and entered the Tower of Life.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they relaxed again when they remembered that Ji Fengyao had a spatial magic treasure that could hold people.
"Miss, what happened? What's wrong with Brother Qian?" Xique asked curiously.
Her young mistress seemed extremely calm, so she wasn't flustered at all.
Ji Fengyao wasn't sure if she could put Qian Youying into the Tower of Life, but she didn't expect to succeed on her first try. She scanned the tower with her divine sense and saw that Qian Youying was staring blankly at his surroundings, but he didn't seem to be in pain anymore, so she was relieved.
Little Thirteen was curled up in the yard, sleeping on the little rocking chair that Ji Fengyao had made especially for him.
Sensing someone coming in, she opened her eyes and saw that she had won money again. She immediately jumped up happily, clapping her little hands and babbling joyfully.
When Qian Youying saw Xiao Shisan, she knew where she was. She clasped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Miss."
"Until this matter is resolved, you stay inside and look after Xiao Shisan. I'll let you out after we get back," Ji Fengyao casually instructed, then stopped paying attention to what was happening inside the tower.
Upon hearing Xique's question, she said to the others, "The direction we are digging in now is opposite to the Dongdan family's mine. I was just wondering before if we would be able to connect with the Dongdan family's mine tunnel if we continued digging like this, but now I can say for sure that we can!"
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.
"That's what Qian Youying said..." An Zijin hesitated before continuing.
Lately, she had been staying by Ji Fengyao's side, and Ji Fengyao hadn't deliberately kept many things from her, so she knew some of them.
Everyone present had made a lifelong vow, and Ji Fengyao had no intention of hiding it from them now. She nodded and said, "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, the Immortal Heart that the Dongdan family and that demon are looking for is just ahead."
"The Heart of an Immortal," the magpie asked curiously, its eyes wide. "What is the Heart of an Immortal? Could it be the heart of an immortal?"
"Hmm," Ji Fengyao recounted the Qian family's ancestral precepts and the story of Qian Youying hearing a heartbeat to everyone.
Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement upon hearing this.
The magpie clapped its hands and laughed, "If that's really the case, then that's wonderful!"
