“Chuyang, do you want to play on the seesaw with me?” Little Carp ran up to Chuyang, looking at her expectantly.
“No way, that’s too childish.” Chuyang refused outright.
“Alright then.” Little Carp was a little disappointed.
She rode the seesaw alone. Seeing Gugu coming down the slide, she immediately called out to Gugu to play together.
Gugu was obedient and ran over immediately.
Then—
Gugu didn’t rise on the first try. On the second try, she used all her strength but still couldn’t make it rise.
For a moment, they looked at each other, speechless.
“Wait a moment,” Gugu suddenly said.
She got up, ran over, and hugged Little Jin Hua, who was trying to climb the slide.
Little Jin Hua was still a bit confused. She felt like she was almost there, so why did she suddenly fly up?
Gugu, holding Little Jin Hua, sat on the slide again, and this time, it finally rose.
“A-da, a-da…”
Little Jin Hua, who was initially unhappy about being picked up and wanted to cry, suddenly found it quite fun.
Seeing them having so much fun, Chuyang felt a bit puzzled. Was it really that fun?
So, after they came down from the slide, Chuyang quietly rode onto it.
But she couldn’t play by herself.
Looking at the empty opposite side, Chuyang muttered softly, “Not fun at all.”
Then she prepared to get off.
However, her actions had already been noticed by the sharp-eyed Little Carp.
With a whoosh, she darted over and sat on the opposite side, immediately lifting Chuyang.
“Hee hee~” Chuyang couldn’t help but feel happy.
“See? Isn’t it fun?” Little Carp asked proudly.
Chuyang turned her little face away and snorted, “It’s… it’s just okay.”
“Sister, why does she just seem like a tsundere little brat to me? How do you see all beings in her?” Su Huamei asked Su Jinxiu with great confusion.
In this world, no one understood better than Su Jinxiu, and therefore no one knew better than her the profundity of the White Bone Sitting Meditation Scripture.
If it weren’t for the fact that she already had her own fundamental technique, and the White Bone Sitting Meditation Scripture wasn’t suitable for her, she would have switched to practicing it long ago.
Thus, for Su Jinxiu to cultivate the White Bone Sitting Meditation Scripture to the White Bone Rebirth realm in just a hundred years was beyond mere prodigious talent.
“Everyone has their own destiny. You don’t need to force it.”
“Hmph, once your realm is high, you start talking cryptically,” Su Huamei said with dissatisfaction.
Her words made everyone laugh.
However, they were also curious how Su Jinxiu saw all beings in Chuyang, as to them, Chuyang also seemed like just a little brat.
Unable to get an answer from Su Jinxiu, Su Huamei turned her gaze to Liu Nanfeng beside her.
“Aren’t you omniscient and omnipotent? What do you say?”
“What I see is the same as you,” Liu Nanfeng said with a smile.
“Heh, useless,” Su Huamei said dismissively upon hearing this.
Liu Nanfeng immediately became anxious and said, “But I understand Jinxiu’s meaning.”
“Oh, and what is that?” Su Huamei immediately turned her head and raised her eyebrows at him. The others nearby secretly chuckled.
“Because Chuyang is a product of the believers’ faith, a collection of faith, she also represents the believers, representing all beings,” Liu Nanfeng explained.
Su Jinxiu nodded gently from the side, “That’s pretty much the idea.”
“Is that so?” Su Huamei turned her head and looked at Chuyang again.
At this moment, Chuyang was playing on the slide.
Gugu, holding Little Jin Hua, was at the front, Little Carp was in the middle, and Chuyang was at the back.
The four little ones, lined up, slid down the tall slide, their joyful laughter filling the air.
Zhu Yin’e withdrew her gaze from the children and asked Liu Nanfeng, “Young Master Liu, have you exited the desert today?”
“No, it’s still a long way off. Tomorrow I’ll see if there’s a faster way to travel.” Liu Nanfeng replied.
This desert was truly vast. Looking around, it was all sand dunes. Even if he kept opening portals, it would be troublesome to get out in a short period.
“I have a technique for traversing the ground. Although it’s a minor art, its speed is even faster than some遁法 (dùn fǎ - escape techniques). Would you like me to teach you?” Zhu Yin’e asked with a smile.
“We, the fox tribe, have an art of evasion whose speed is also incredibly fast, but it’s very difficult to cultivate.” Hu Mengyao, who had been largely silent, also wanted to contribute.
“Traveling… traveling…”
Yang Ruoyun also lowered her head in thought. She had many good things and was pondering which treasures were suitable for travel.
“No need for now. I have some ideas myself. I’ll see tomorrow,” Liu Nanfeng said.
Hearing him say this, the others said no more.
Meanwhile, Dundun, having met Zhang Xinwu, felt his mind relax and slept soundly for the first time in a long time.
When he woke up the next day, Zhang Xinwu had already prepared breakfast. Of course, it was still roast meat, but this time it was fully cooked.
“Thank you.” Dundun was no longer polite. He took the roast meat offered by Zhang Xinwu and ate it heartily.
“Eat more. We have a long way to go today. Don’t fall behind my pace,” Zhang Xinwu said with a smile.
He actually liked this simple and honest young man and wouldn’t have taken care of him otherwise.
“Don’t worry, I won’t fall behind.”
“Mm, I don’t doubt that. But your strength only unleashes thirty to forty percent. I don’t know how your father taught you. It’s a good opportunity to hone yourself by following me along the way.” Zhang Xinwu said. m..oΓg
“Thank you.” Dundun was deeply grateful.
In this unfamiliar and dangerous place, Zhang Xinwu’s appearance not only gave him warmth but also a sense of security.
At this time, Liu Nanfeng, having rested, was ready to set off again. However, Yang Ruoyun no longer insisted on following.
As for Chuyang, her relationship with Little Carp was at its peak, and she didn’t want to be separated for a moment. Thus, Liu Nanfeng set off alone again.
Liu Nanfeng appeared on the sand dune where he had disappeared the previous day. He casually extinguished a fierce beast that attacked him, then looked up at the sky.
The sun in the sky still emitted scorching light. He wondered if this sun was the same as the sun on Earth.
But this did not affect Liu Nanfeng. His eyes flickered, and countless pieces of information flashed under his gaze. His body gradually began to disappear, finally turning into a ball of light.
Then, it merged into the pervasive light, vanishing without a trace from the spot.
ps: Today there is only one chapter. Additionally, this book will likely end next month, at which point I will update the extra story for Taozi and prepare for a new book. Thank you, everyone.
