1025. I think the relationship between the two of you is still so good. I think there must be an indissoluble bond in your previous life?
Although the setting is very rustic, Xingji now has the opportunity to say goodbye to the life of an old farmer, and of course he cannot miss it.
Even though his mother said that he should not easily trust someone he meets for the first time, and even though his father said that there is absolutely no kindness in this world without reason,... he had nothing to be afraid of.
So what if he was tricked? So what if Miss Jingwei had a plot against him? Seizing his body? Extracting him? Blood sacrifice, cauldron?
To be honest, he wanted to try it.
——He didn’t [believe], he just longed for the unknown.
"Okay, I promise you, let's sign the contract now. I can't wait to make you my spiritual pet, Jingwei Beast!~"
He can't wait to escape from the sea of suffering!~
However, things backfired——
"Become your spiritual pet? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jingwei was obviously annoyed by Xing Ke, a guy who took it for granted that the whole world should revolve around him:
"It's obvious that you want to be my mount, right? Who helped whom to block the lightning disaster?"
Sure enough, there are no such delicious heaven-dropped pies in the world. Often the pies thrown down from upstairs taste of durian after one bite.
"However, after thinking about it, you are not willing to be the mount of an ancient dead soul, and I am not so arrogant and greedy that I insist on asking one of your descendants to be my mount.
Therefore, you and I should just take a step back and form a time-limited contract of equality. After we get through the difficulties, we will no longer owe each other anything.
How was it?"
Not so good - Xing Ke complained in his heart - sister, you have such a normal and mature outlook on life, why do you want to do that?
In general, fantasy novels shouldn’t be about conspiracy and intrigue at this time, when everyone is hiding their secrets and trying to harm each other?
How come you have normal outlook on life and have common sense and positive energy to cope with difficulties when you come here?
Aren’t you souls like you, who have been dead for tens of thousands of years and are still not fully dead, all mentally twisted, paranoid, stingy, greedy and cruel?
Give me back my prejudiced delusions.
However, although Xingke complained all kinds of things in his heart, his current embarrassing state left him with no energy to speak out loud.
So after confirming that Jingwei, the little kingfisher, really didn't want to waste more time on meaningless things and wanted to get out of the current situation as soon as possible... Xingji silently put away his "consciousness to die at any time."
"Okay, everyone is a reliable adult..." Xingke, who was only two years old, said.
"Neither of them is interested in making the other person their appendage..." Xingke, who just now was very interested in owning a spiritual pet, continued.
"The basic interests are also the same..." Xing Ke, who just three seconds ago thought he would rather die than surrender, said.
"Then, it's such a happy decision."
Xingji first extended his palm.
"..."
For some reason, Princess Jingwei, who had been secretly observing Xingke for a long time and had just confirmed that Xingke was not a treacherous and evil person, now began to retreat in her heart.
Of course, Jingwei has not yet reached the point where she is not selective about food. Even if it is an equal cooperation contract, she will not accept just anyone.
Therefore, it is certain to disguise herself as an ordinary little bird and check her character in advance, and she is also confident in her own vision.
But now...what's going on with this uneasy feeling?
"...Okay, this is the contract."
But, I can't care about that now.
She also felt the same way about leaving this hellish place as soon as possible.
—·—·—
Unlike the world of calamity where there is no sense of passage of time and only accumulation of pain and suffering, three days have passed in Chentangguan in the outside world.
It has been three days since the third son of the Li family turned the tide and solved the monstrous tsunami before mysteriously disappearing.
In addition, the entire Chentangguan can be seen visually. At the junction of the sky and the sea, the majestic thunderclouds of the Heavenly Tribulation also lasted for three days.
Three days ago, when Nezha walked back from the sea as if nothing had happened with the background picture of "Taiyi Zhenren vs. Sea Dragon King" behind her, Li Jing and Jin Zha as the audience were almost dumbfounded.
At that moment, they deeply realized that the situation had unknowingly exceeded their cognitive scope, and their minds were filled with thoughts such as——
What happened? Is the sky going to fall? Is Nuwa going to work?
——Thinking like that.
Later, compared to Nezha who was full of naive and ridiculous words, Ao Bing, a serious person, came forward to explain what happened and why.
Only then did the Li family and his son finally know who the calamity cloud in the sky belonged to, and finally knew that their little daughter had just walked back from a cruel dragon's mouth...
At this time, ordinary parents would most likely give the ignorant child a harsh lesson, regardless of the fact that the child's master is still fighting a real dragon in front of outsiders.
However, as a father who had been relatively reliable so far, Li Jing felt a deep sense of powerlessness at that time.
——Whether he had just blocked the tsunami that was enough to submerge the entire Chentangguan, or whether he was facing an adult dragon and rescuing his daughter who had trespassed in the Dragon Palace, these were all things that he, a commander-in-chief with a mere golden elixir cultivation, could not do.
The old father who was supposed to protect his children from the wind and rain found that his child's ability to cause trouble far exceeded his ability to protect him from the wind and rain - this feeling was very uncomfortable.
Of course he didn't look good, and he also wanted to teach Nezha a lesson. He asked her why she got into such a big trouble, why she took such a big risk, and why she didn't just stay at home...
However, just as this thought occurred, the faint thunder on the horizon woke him up.
Li Jing finally sighed softly, and his tense face and body relaxed.
If you take the initiative to hurt a child's heart because you care about the child's own safety - wouldn't everything be putting the cart before the horse?
In the end, Li Jing patted Nezha on the head, sent Jin Zha away and sent Ao Bing away, then knelt down to face Nezha himself and said seriously:
"Nezha, you are undoubtedly right to care about and cherish your friends.
But let me ask you, is it right for you to venture alone to a strange place like Dragon Palace without saying a word?"
Hearing this, Nezha said a little aggrievedly: "I didn't know that the Dragon King was so annoying and that the Dragon Palace did not welcome humans..."
"Nezha!" Li Jing raised his voice to a higher level and said sternly: "Never use your ignorance as an excuse!"
Nezha was startled by Li Jing's suddenly raised voice.
Then Li Jing relaxed a little and then said to Nezha:
"Nezha, you are still young. Your ignorance can be forgiven. Your desire to go out for adventure can be understood. If you cause trouble, the whole family can help you take responsibility..."
"However, you cannot use these as reasons to take risks without scruples or indulge in trouble without fear."
Li Jing did not worry about whether Nezha could understand, but seriously wanted to imprint a fact into Nezha's mind——
"You have to understand, Nezha, you are not alone."
"..."
Looking blankly at his father who was very different from usual, Nezha opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't know what he was going to say.
But she didn't look for any more excuses and lowered her head silently.
Because she knew what her father wanted to say, but no one said it, was that her brother was in danger to save her.
And in order not to be dissuaded, she secretly ran to the Dragon Palace, which she knew nothing about, without saying a word, and after learning that the Dragon Palace did not welcome humans, she fought and forced her way in, regardless of the consequences... these are also
fact.
"...I'm sorry, I won't do it next time."
After muttering an apology in a low voice, Nezha stood there awkwardly. After a while, his eyes secretly looked up at Li Jing's face.
"...It's good to know. If you want to apologize, wait until your brother comes back safely."
With that said, Li Jing picked up Nezha, put it on his shoulder, and said:
"Now go home and comfort your mother. Your mother will be in charge of the defense formation at home. She will definitely be worried if she doesn't see you two."
"Oh, I see..." Nezha said with a sad look on his face. Doesn't this mean [little bastard, you have passed my test, and your mother has not passed it.]?
At this time, Jin Zhacai walked out from the side with a funny look on his face, looking at Li Jing with eyes full of contempt.
Li Jing was not so gentle to him when he was a child, and his education was almost full of "iron fist of love".
When I got here, my little sister became so easy to talk to.
Sure enough, the middle-aged father who is only gentle to his daughter is disdainful.
However, Li Jing ignored the teasing look in his eldest son's eyes. Instead, he glanced at the continuous thunder in the sky, his face darkened, and he quickly walked towards home.
He couldn't show it in front of Nezha, but he couldn't help but be anxious in his heart.
The heavenly tribulation is still continuing, which means that those who have overcome the tribulation have not yet passed the path of life and death.
However, no one can guarantee what will happen to those who survive the tribulation at the next moment.
However, for a golden elixir stage monk to trespass into someone else's thunder tribulation area is to risk death. Even the True Immortal Dragon King who had survived a heavenly tribulation was forced to abandon his own palace, let alone him.
So now he needs to go home quickly and discuss countermeasures with his wife.
However, Li Jing did not expect that three days would pass in such a flash.
