The next morning.
When the little fellow slowly woke up from her sleep, the sun was already high in the sky.
Because of the orientation of the room, the sunlight shone directly on her face through the window, immediately making her little face bright red.
The little fellow rubbed her eyes and then sat up from the bed with great effort.
After habitually calling out 'Daddy', she then lowered her head to look at Qin Ruoying.
"Good morning, Mommy!"
The little fellow greeted her mother sweetly, but Qin Ruoying still did not respond.
She just lay quietly on the bed like that.
There was no breath, no heartbeat, and of course, no movement.
If one looked at it from a secular perspective …
This child actually slept with her mother's' corpse 'every day.
Thinking about it carefully, this scene was really strange, and even gave people a chilling feeling …
Fortunately.
The little fellow did not think so.
In her mind, her mother was just sick, a very, very sick person.
Daddy was busy taking care of her mother, so sometimes he neglected her.
The little fellow did not want to cause trouble for her father.
Therefore, she called out to her father, but her father did not appear for a long time.
The child imitated her father's usual behavior, gently pecked her mother's cheek, and then got up from the bed.
Then, the little fellow ran into the bathroom, stepped on a small stool, and began to wash herself.
Brushing her teeth was too troublesome, so the little fellow directly skipped this process.
She took a towel and wiped her face carelessly, and the washing was done.
At this time, Qin Yongyan, who had not shown up for a long time, followed Chen Xi out of the main hall.
"Good morning, Grandpa!"
The moment she saw Qin Yongyan, the little fellow very intimately went to his side, and immediately made Qin Yongyan laugh loudly.
The three generations of grandfather and grandson sat around the small table and had breakfast. During this time, everything was as warm and peaceful as usual.
Chen Xi cleared the table, and then called the little fellow to his side.
"Niannian, Daddy wants to discuss something with you …"
"What is it?"
The little fellow tilted her head, her big eyes filled with confusion.
"Mom's condition has worsened. Dad has to go abroad to get the best doctor for mom …"
"But it's very far overseas. Once Father goes …"
"It might be a very, very long time before I can return …"
The little fellow did not reply immediately.
She pursed her lips and looked at Chen Xi eagerly, as if she was still thinking about the meaning of his words.
"Niannian, be good. After Daddy leaves, don't be afraid …"
"Because Mom, Auntie, and Grandpa are all by your side …"
"And the Big Cat, Big Head, they will always be with you …"
"Mom and Aunty are both sick. They can't take care of you anymore, but Grandpa can …"
"So, I'll have to trouble Grandpa to cook for you and take care of your life in the future …"
"Grandpa is already so old. He's not as young as Dad. He doesn't have enough energy to play with you …"
"Promise Daddy that you'll listen to Grandpa in the future, okay?"
Chen Xi gently held Niannian in his arms and whispered many things into her ear.
He knew that Niannian might not be able to remember it.
But he had no choice. He still had to say these words to Niannian.
This was Daddy's reluctance and also his parting words.
The little fellow was still young, so she did not know what Chen Xi's words meant.
She only remembered one thing, and that was —
Daddy was leaving. He was going to a very, very far place.
Because Mom was sick, Daddy had to find a way to treat Mom …
The little fellow knew what was important.
So even if she was a little unhappy, she did not cry and make a fuss to stop Chen Xi from leaving. Instead, she looked up and asked seriously, "Daddy, how long will you be away? When will you come back? "
As soon as this question came out, Chen Xi fell silent.
After a long silence, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to the little fellow, "It won't be long …"
"You know, Daddy has been abroad before …"
"Now that I have experience, I should be able to come back soon …"
The little fellow nodded as if she had understood something.
Then, as if she suddenly thought of something, she hurriedly asked, "Dad, what should I do if I miss you?"
Hearing this, Chen Xi fell silent again.
Because he really did not know how to answer.
Should he continue to deceive her?
Or should he cruelly tell her the truth?
Once he left, he didn't know when he would see him again.
Just thinking about it was enough to break his heart.
The little fellow saw that Chen Xi did not answer for a long time. After blinking her eyes, she thought of a solution for herself.
"Daddy, if I miss you …"
"Then I'll video call you!"
"Okay?"
Looking at the little fellow's expectant eyes, Chen Xi finally nodded decisively this time.
This was a solution he did not think of.
Now that technology was developing so rapidly, it should not be difficult to simulate his image and deceive the little fellow, right?
The father and daughter had a lot of private conversations today. They talked from morning to afternoon.
When the sun was about to set, the little fellow, led by Qin Yongyan, personally sent Chen Xi to the door.
She tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss Chen Xi's left and right cheeks. Then she said with a reluctant face, "Daddy, you have to come back early, I'll miss you!"
"Okay, Daddy promises you …"
While speaking, Chen Xi gently left a kiss on the little fellow's forehead.
The father and daughter parted ways.
Chen Xi strode away and did not look back along the way.
But until his figure disappeared at the end of the alley, the little fellow was still waving her little hand in the direction he left …
"Daddy, come back early!"
…
After saying goodbye to the little fellow and making a series of preparations, Chen Xi took Bai Hong and Shui Xiang back to the familiar place —
Karakorum Kunlun.
The closest place to heaven.
Chen Xi found the ruins of the Sundial Temple based on his memory, then sat down cross-legged in the middle of the ruins.
Sitting down …
He sat for a whole three days and three nights.
It was not until the morning of the fourth day that Chen Xi finally woke up from his meditation and took out the Sound Transmitting Talisman that Jiang Yan gave him from his bosom.
This was a Sound Transmitting Talisman that could directly contact Tiandu. It was a rare stock from ancient times. He did not know where Jiang Yan got it from.
Right now, Tiandu was preparing to build a soul bridge. No matter how turbulent the spiritual qi in the lower realm was, it was impossible for Tiandu to withdraw the soul mirror that was in use.
Since the Gate of Heaven refused to open, then Chen Xi could only think of a way to forcibly open the Gate of Heaven himself.
This Sound Transmitting Talisman became the key.
Because …
He wanted to use this Sound Transmitting Talisman to locate the position of Tiandu and thus pry open the Gate of Heaven.
This was also the solution that Chen Xi and Jiang Yan finally came up with after a detailed discussion.
Since the moment Qin Ruoying's soul dissipated, Bai Hong had been reduced to a prisoner again.
So he could only be locked to one side like Shui Xiang, anxiously watching Chen Xi's strange actions.
They saw …
After Chen Xi ignited the Talisman, he leaped into the air.
Then, under the dumbfounded expressions of the two people …
Chen Xi held the Flowing Cloud Sword in his hand, mobilized all the vital essence in his body, and fiercely slashed at the sky!
In an instant.
The mountains shook, the wind and snow trembled!
After three days of meditation, Chen Xi gathered all the vital essence in his body to one point.
The moment the sword was drawn, the whole world fell silent.
Immediately after, the sword qi grew bigger and bigger.
Every time it flew up a meter, the sword qi would violently expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the sword qi continued to expand, it finally showed a kind of earth-shattering momentum, rolling up all the fluttering snowflakes between heaven and earth, like a pillar that supported the heavens, crashing into the clouds!
Only then did Bai Hong suddenly widen his eyes, finally understanding what Chen Xi was doing.
He was going to use his own strength …
