974 Thirty Years, Heavenly Dao True Bead (1)
“It’s been thirty years since we entered this place.” Feng Wu sighed.
“Lord, you don’t know how we survived the past thirty years. There were a few times when I thought I was going to die.” Fear flashed across Feng Wu’s face.
“You’re finally here. We don’t have to be afraid anymore.
“Lord, why did you change your appearance? Is it because there are enemies here?”
While speaking, Feng Wu subconsciously raised his guard.
Zhou Shu’s incarnation and Feng Jing looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other’s eyes. You didn’t think you were about to die. You’re really dead.
But from Feng Wu’s reaction, he didn’t seem to know that there were two Feng Wus in this Origin World and that one of them was already dead.
This made Zhou Shu speculate that perhaps the laws of this Origin World didn’t allow the existence of two Feng Wus. Perhaps it was also because of the arrival of this Feng Wu that the other Feng Wu died.
These thoughts flashed through Zhou Shu’s mind, but he didn’t dwell on them.
In any case, it was a good thing that Feng Wu was still alive.
Thirty years… Zhou Shu didn’t expect that only a few days had passed outside, but thirty years had passed here.
This wasn’t because the flow of time in the Origin World was different from outside but because Zhou Shu’s incarnation had entered this place illegally. The time he had entered was completely unpredictable.
Thirty years have passed. Ling’er should have grown up. A familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in Zhou Shu’s incarnation’s mind.
In the future, in the bronze palace, Xiaoyu’er had suddenly become a big girl. At that time, Zhou Shu felt like he had lost his daughter.
Later, he met Ling’er. This made Zhou Shu feel like he had regained what he had lost. He didn’t expect that he might have lost his daughter again in a moment of negligence.
He didn’t actually lose her. It was just that his daughter had suddenly grown up. He was a little happy and a little sad. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
“Lord, please follow me.” Feng Wu led the way. “It’s all thanks to the Bai Ze King all these years. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have lasted until now.
“Lord, all these years, the Bai Ze King has risked his life to protect Princess Ling’er.”
Zhou Shu’s incarnation nodded. He could imagine that if not for the Bai Ze King, with Ling’er’s cultivation when she entered this place, it would have been very difficult for her to survive.
Even with Zhou Shu’s incarnation and Feng Jing’s strength, they had almost failed.
Back then, Ling’er’s strength couldn’t compare to the two of theirs at all.
Feng Wu brought Zhou Shu’s incarnation and Feng Jing to a courtyard in the city. He pushed open the door and shouted, “Princess Ling’er, I’m back! Look who I brought back.”
Zhou Shu’s incarnation sighed inwardly. He was too familiar with the figure in front of him.
Wasn’t this the grown-up Xiaoyu’er from the bronze palace?
Ling’er, who had grown up, immediately looked vigilant when she saw Zhou Shu’s incarnation and Feng Jing. She grabbed the True Martial Sword and shouted, “Who are you?!”
When Zhou Shu’s incarnation saw Ling’er’s reaction, his heart ached. What had she experienced in the past thirty years to make the innocent Ling’er become so vigilant?
“It’s me,” Zhou Shu’s incarnation said. “Ling’er, I’m here to pick you up.”
“Master…?” Ling’er was stunned for a moment. Then her eyes turned red as she pounced into Zhou Shu’s arms.
“Master, you’re finally here!” Ling’er cried and laughed as she hugged Zhou Shu and refused to let go.
Zhou Shu’s heart ached. He originally wanted to teach Ling’er a lesson after meeting her, but this thought disappeared in an instant.
He patted Ling’er’s back and said gently, “It’s okay. I’m here. No one can bully you anymore.
“You’ve learned your lesson this time. Don’t run around again, understand?”
“Yes.” Ling’er nodded with tears in her eyes.
Zhou Shu looked around at the place they lived. It could barely shelter them from the wind and rain. It was terribly simple.
“Where’s the Bai Ze King?” Zhou Shu asked. He couldn’t sense Bai Yue’s aura.
“The Bai Ze King went out of the city to kill Heavenly Dao monsters,” Ling’er said. “In order to survive here, we have to constantly kill Heavenly Dao monsters to obtain some survival resources.
“Because the two of us aren’t strong enough, most of the time, the Bai Ze King goes alone.”
Zhou Shu’s incarnation was silent for a moment before saying, “Bai Ze King, not bad.”
“Master, I haven’t been idle for the past thirty years. I’ve always cultivated the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception, but it’s too difficult. I…” Ling’er said, slightly embarrassed.
“It’s not your fault,” Zhou Shu’s incarnation said. “The Seven Swords of Heaven Interception is a supreme art to begin with, and not many people can successfully cultivate it.
“In the past, I didn’t think you would have many chances to fight, so I taught you the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception to let you slowly cultivate.
“Let’s not talk about this now. Since I’m here, we can prepare to leave this place.
“When the Bai Ze King returns, I’ll send you back first. We shouldn’t stay in this place for long.”
Zhou Shu’s incarnation looked up at the dark red sky. To some people, this might be a paradise for cultivation, but to others, it was like hell.
Ling’er and Feng Wu were clearly not suitable to stay here forever.
This had nothing to do with cultivation but with personality. For Martial Dao fanatics obsessed with cultivating, this Origin World was a good place.
But Ling’er and Feng Wu were not Martial Dao fanatics.
Zhou Shu’s incarnation said, “Ling’er, tell me. How have you lived for the past thirty years? Has anyone bullied you? If there is, I will stand up for you.”
