Could it be that Li Yinzhu subconsciously approached him due to the aura of Daoist Priest Li Tiansu on the ancient bronze ring?
Song Shuhang gently patted Li Yinzhu's shoulder and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid. These two elder sisters are just going to help you change your clothes."
After hearing his voice, Li Yinzhu shivered and nodded her head. Afterward, she carefully extended her hand toward the two female disciples of the Chu family.
The female disciples of the Chu family smiled and picked up Li Yinzhu, bringing her to a nearby room to take a bath and change her clothes.
Song Shuhang heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that there was something wrong with Li Yinzhu's state.
According to the memories he had obtained from the dreamland, Li Yinzhu wasn't young anymore.
She was already in her twenties before the onset of her cold disease. Afterward, Li Tiansu spent all of his family's assets to look for all kinds of methods to treat her disease. The treatment lasted for many years.
But now, regardless of whether it was her appearance or her behavior, she was no different from a three or four-year-old girl.
Was it possible that after her body shrank to the size of a toddler, her mind also shrank to that of a child?
* * * * *
"Haha, Little Friend, it seems you are very good at taking care of children!" Chu Kangbo, the ancestor of the Chu family, said with a smile. He shot a glance at the small monk that was always following Song Shuhang.
After arriving in China, the small monk didn't return to the Faraway Wandering Temple. Instead, he stayed with Song Shuhang, waiting for Senior Brother Three Realms to come and pick him up.
After seeing that the ancestor of the Chu family was paying attention to him, the small monk joined his palms together and greeted him politely.
The ancestor of the Chu family returned the greeting with a smile.
Song Shuhang forced a smile. Good at taking care of children? Was it possible that he had the halo of the King of Children? Was it possible that the small monk Guoguo, the pekingese Doudou, Jouko Hagi, Shiliu, and Yu Jiaojiao all appeared beside him one after another under the influence of the halo?
Just as they were discussing, the two female disciples of the Chu family came out with Li Yinzhu.
After freshening up... Li Yinzhu's silver hair was untied and draped over her back. It was long and dense, making her look even more adorable.
The only problem was … She was wearing a thick sweater and a jasper kasaya, which made her look very strange.
When Li Yinzhu saw Shuhang, she quickly ran to his side and stretched out her small hand from the kasaya. She grabbed the corner of Song Shuhang's clothes and refused to let go.
When Song Shuhang's body came into contact with Li Yinzhu's emerald-green kasaya, he asked, "Why is it so hot?"
The emerald-green kasaya could automatically adjust its temperature. Therefore, when it sensed that Li Yinzhu's body temperature was very low, the emerald-green kasaya started to increase its temperature. At this moment, the monastic robe was like a lamp used to keep warm in the cold winter. It felt hot to the touch.
After hearing Song Shuhang's mutter, Li Yinzhu looked at him in confusion.
"It's okay." Song Shuhang patted her gently. This little bit of warmth was nothing to the current Song Shuhang.
At this time, the ancestor of the Chu family, Chu Kangbo, said, "Little Friend, please follow me."
He led the way in the front. Song Shuhang followed after him. The small monk also followed after Song Shuhang.
The small monk would look at Li Yinzhu from time to time. He was very curious about this girl that had come out of the ice crystal. It was said that children were born from rocks, but it was the first time that the small monk had seen one come out of a block of ice.
* * * * *
In the territory of the Chu family.
Song Shuhang was sitting on a sofa. The small monk was sitting on his left, Li Yinzhu was sitting on his right, and Yu Jiaojiao was sitting on his shoulder.
Li Yinzhu's emerald-green kasaya had been returned to Song Shuhang, and the ancestor of the Chu family had changed her into a small and exquisite set of female magical clothes.
The ancestor of the Chu family was a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor, and he had explored many historical remains with Li Tiansu when he was young. He had collected many treasures, so a mere Dharma robe was nothing to him.
After that, Chu Kangbo showed him the map of the forbidden area and the information he and Li Tiansu had explored the outer area of the forbidden area. He recorded everything on a long scroll and handed it to Song Shuhang.
Chu Kangbo really did not dare to go to that forbidden area again.
He didn't even see the gate of the forbidden area before he was heavily injured and had to recuperate for many years. And his good friend Li Tiansu had lost his life in the forbidden area. This forbidden area was no longer a place that the Fifth Stage Jin Dan Spirit Emperor could explore.
"Little Friend. This was the location of the forbidden area, as well as some of the arrangements around it. It's just that so many years have passed, and we don't know what changes have occurred in the periphery of the forbidden area. Therefore, the exploration that Fellow Daoist Li and I have done in the past can only be used as a reference, "Chu Kangbo said.
"Thank you, Senior." Song Shuhang promised again, "Also, please rest assured, Senior Chu. If we can find a way to cure Li Yinzhu in that forbidden area, we'll definitely do our best to bring her out. "
Chu Kangbo felt much more at ease when he heard this.
Afterward, the two talked for a long time.
Song Shuhang had benefited a lot from Chu Kangbo's adventuring experience when he was young.
In the end, the two exchanged phone numbers. If Song Shuhang made any progress in the forbidden area, he could directly contact Chu Kangbo.
* * * * * *
"Senior Chu, I still have some matters to take care of, so I'll return home first. See you later! "Song Shuhang cupped his hands toward Chu Kangbo.
"See you later." Chu Kangbo got up and saw the guest off.
After arriving outside the house, Song Shuhang took out the silver dragon puppet from his size-reducing purse.
When Senior Seven Lives Talisman gave him the silver dragon puppet, he had installed a spirit stone of the Third Stage inside, which was enough for the puppet to fly for a long time.
Luckily, the puppet already had a spirit stone inside. Otherwise, Song Shuhang would have been a penniless pauper without even half a spirit stone, and the silver dragon puppet would have been nothing more than a decoration.
After seeing the silver dragon puppet, the small monk cheered and jumped on the back of the dragon. No matter how mature he was normally, he would find it hard to control his childish nature when he saw something he liked.
Song Shuhang gently patted Li Yinzhu, who was pulling the corner of his clothes, and said, "Yinzhu, go back and stay with Senior Chu for now … I'll come and see you later, alright?"
Li Yinzhu blinked her eyes, a confused expression on her face. Her hand was still tightly grabbing the corner of Song Shuhang's clothes, not willing to let go.
On his shoulder, Yu Jiaojiao said with a smile, "Hehe, she's pestering you, Shuhang."
"It should be because the ring on my finger has a familiar smell." Song Shuhang stroked the ancient bronze ring.
The Flaming Saber Technique, a healing technique, and a spirit gathering formation of the Third Stage rank were engraved on the ring. For the current Song Shuhang, it was a rare treasure.
The Flaming Saber Technique had helped Song Shuhang escape from life-threatening situations several times, and the healing technique was even more precious. It was a magical technique that could save his life.
But after pondering for a moment, Song Shuhang took the ring off his finger.
He squatted down and pulled Li Yinzhu's small hand, placing the ancient bronze ring on her palm. It was a relic of her father, and it was reasonable for him to return it to her. It could be considered as returning it to its rightful owner.
"Goodbye, take care," Song Shuhang said to her in a soft voice.
Li Yinzhu's silver eyes were fixated on the ring on her palm, and she stood motionlessly on the spot.
Chu Kangbo took a step forward and gently patted Li Yinzhu, picking her up in his arms.
"Senior Chu, goodbye." Song Shuhang jumped on the silver dragon puppet and cupped his hands. The eyes of the silver dragon puppet shone with a golden radiance. Then, it flapped its huge wings and soared into the sky.
The disciples of the Chu family looked at the puppet enviously. They felt that this kind of flying puppet was very cool. Unfortunately, let alone a puppet that could fly, even a puppet that could run on the ground would fetch a sky-high price for the disciples of the Chu family. If they had the money to buy a puppet, they might as well exchange it for some cultivation resources.
"Let's go back," Chu Kangbo said.
In Chu Kangbo's bosom, Li Yinzhu was still staring at the ring. No one knew what she was thinking.
Chu Kangbo gently patted the shoulder of his old friend's daughter and said, "Let's live together from today onward."
He would treat Li Yinzhu like his own daughter and carefully teach and nurture her.
If he could get rid of the cold poison in her body one day, he would be able to answer to his old friend.
… …
… …
When Chu Kangbo had taken five or six steps while carrying her, Li Yinzhu suddenly opened her mouth and uttered a single syllable, "Burn."
Soon after, a small pill-sized object flew out of Li Yinzhu's mouth.
It was … a sword orb!
This sword orb was made of extremely thin, thread-like blades coiled around it. As long as one poured one's true qi or spiritual energy into it, the sword orb could turn into a sharp sword or directly kill the enemy in the form of a sword orb.
It was very difficult to refine a sword orb, and its value was five to ten times that of an ordinary flying sword of the same rank.
After the sword orb flew out of Li Yinzhu's mouth, it expanded in midair and turned into a complete sword light.
Chu Kangbo was dumbfounded for a moment. "Sword controlling technique!"
But right at this time, Li Yinzhu struggled free from his bosom and lightly jumped, landing on the sword light with her small body. Then, she carefully lay on the sword light like a cute little animal.
"Whoosh!"
The sword light flew out and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye … Judging from its direction, it should be chasing after Song Shuhang.
"Fourth Stage Innate Realm." Chu Kangbo forced a smile.
He had misjudged his old friend's daughter! She was actually a Fourth Stage Innate Realm cultivator!
How old was she, yet she was already at the Fourth Stage Innate Realm!
However, after thinking about it, it made sense. In order to cure his daughter's cold disease, Li Tiansu had spent all of his family's assets and was heavily in debt. Moreover, he had risked his life countless times in secret realms and historical remains, using all the resources he had obtained to cure his daughter.
He had used a huge amount of natural treasures, and even if most of them were used to resist the cold energy inside her body, the remaining medicinal power would still be enough to push Li Yinzhu to the Fourth Stage Innate Realm.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Kangbo took out his phone and dialed Song Shuhang's number.
Soon, the call got through.
"Eh? Senior Chu, what's the matter? "Song Shuhang asked in puzzlement. Did he forget something in the Chu family?
Chu Kangbo said embarrassedly, "Little Friend Song, Yinzhu is flying towards your location."
"What? She's flying over? How did she get here? "Song Shuhang asked.
Chu Kangbo replied, "She's riding a sword."
"Fourth Stage Innate Realm?" Song Shuhang was dumbfounded.
Chu Kangbo replied, "Yes, Fourth Stage Innate Realm."
"…" Song Shuhang.
Are geniuses so worthless nowadays? In the past, it would take the seniors several hundred years to reach the Fourth Stage Innate Realm.
… …
