Gu Zheng was waiting for Feng Ying to tell him more about his cheap daughter when he noticed that she was walking towards him.
"This is what you asked for before, but if you want to break the shackles of the Li Bracelet, you have to go down again. It just so happens that there are people below looking for you. In order to avoid any misunderstandings, we didn't move."
Feng Ying took out a few ordinary looking things and handed them to Gu Zheng. "As for your daughter's Innate Spiritual Treasure, it's just outside. You can take it away at any time."
"Thanks."
Gu Zheng received them. There were three thumb-sized crystals that emitted a sparkling light. All of them contained the things he wanted. The other party actually had three of them. The addition of the Earth and Wind Stone made him a little happy. He had solved most of them in one go. If he collected two more, he could find a way to upgrade his Five Elements Jade Bracelet. However, he still needed some things. Just relying on what he had now was not enough.
Feng Ying also wrapped it up for him, making it easier for him to carry. Of course, it was also possible that she stored it like this to prevent the power from dissipating and causing the purity to decrease.
"Actually, we should thank you." Feng Ying laughed. "Well, let's get back to business. I'll tell you about Wan 'er."
Gu Zheng also put it away and listened carefully to Feng Ying. He also understood Wan 'er's origin.
In fact, Wan Er only appeared when Soaring Snake came to attack the South Sea. Gu Zheng didn't think that she only appeared when Soaring Snake came. If that was the case, she would have been imprisoned long ago. How could she be as free as she was now?
After the Flying Serpent Clan fled to this place, they paid a visit to the Third Princess. This place was under her jurisdiction, which was equivalent to seeking refuge with her. After obtaining her permission, they began to take root here and began to build their own home. The place that Gu Zheng saw before was something that they spent thousands of years to complete bit by bit.
The Innate Spiritual Treasure that Gu Zheng wanted was an ordinary thing that the Soaring Snake Clan brought with them when they fled. At that time, it was just a toy of the Soaring Snake Clan. At that time, no one discovered that this small ball turned out to be a Spiritual Treasure. It didn't have the aura of a Spiritual Treasure and was played by the Soaring Snake all day long. At most, it was very durable and very elastic.
Coincidentally, when the cave below was completed, they dug out an ancient stone pillar, which was the one that Gu Zheng saw before. However, there was nothing on the stone pillar at that time, it was smooth. Along with the stone pillar was a small altar, which was well-preserved.
At that time, the Flying Serpent Clan had asked the people of the South Sea to take a look at what it was. The other party had sent people to take a look at it and determined that it was something left behind by some extinct Sea Race a long time ago.
.........................................................................
Therefore, whether it was a coincidence or an accident, the Earth in Teng Serpent's hand accidentally flew into the altar when he was playing with his friends.
That was how Wan 'er was born.
Because the Soaring Snake Clan's spirit treasure was originally held by the Soaring Snake Clan, her body was originally a golden Soaring Snake. The Soaring Snake Clan thought that she was the reincarnation of their ancestor, so they prayed to her all day long. Soon, with the help of the spirit treasure and the altar, Wan 'er's transformation became strange, and she could be connected to the Soaring Snake Clan.
Even now, even Feng Ying, who had watched Wan'er grow up, couldn't figure out her origin. Was she the reincarnation of the remnant consciousness of the Innate Spiritual Treasure? Or was she a trump card summoned by the mysterious altar with the help of the Innate Spiritual Treasure? She even had the totem elements of the Flying Serpent Clan.
But none of them could be close to her, and none of them could be close to her.
The stone pillar, which had returned to its original appearance, had become the history of the Soaring Snake Clan. But other than that, the stone pillar had no other function. Even the power that gave birth to Wan 'er no longer existed. It had no other function except to act as the connection between the Soaring Snake Clan and Wan' er.
Although the spirit treasure was used by Wan 'er, Feng Ying had tried to let Wan' er control it completely. Wan 'er couldn't be its master, and could only rely on a trace of connection to use it. Moreover, Wan' er could maximize the spirit treasure's potential, as if she was the spirit treasure's spirit.
However, the Soaring Snake Clan relied on the power of worship to treat Wan 'er as the reincarnation of their ancestor's bloodline to protect their bloodline. Relying on that connection, they could even borrow power from Wan' er to temporarily break through to the early stage of Grand Heavenly Realm. However, Wan 'er could only communicate with them indirectly through the stone pillar.
The three seemed to be connected, but they were also unrelated. This puzzled Feng Ying.
As for Wan 'er taking Gu Zheng as her father, it was all thanks to Feng Ying that she knew Wan' er from the very beginning. She kept telling Wan 'er that Wan' er didn't have parents, but because of enemies and other reasons, Wan 'er could only ask Feng Ying to raise her.
In fact, Feng Ying had been watching Wan 'er since she grew up. She even asked her elders to give Wan' er some things to help Wan 'er through some things and prevent others from noticing. This was also why Wan' er trusted her so much.
Gu Zheng's appearance only took a little more effort. After that, when he returned, Feng Ying secretly took some of his ordinary blood. After some manipulation, she established a trace of connection with Gu Zheng without Wan 'er knowing. Therefore, Wan' er calling herself his daughter was reasonable.
Gu Zheng's previous actions could be completely explained.
After settling the matters outside, he came back to take his daughter away. However, when he saw that she had grown up, he was a little worried, so he secretly observed her. When Fengying fought with him, she discovered his identity. Only then did the battle between the two of them stop and bring them back together.
However, in order to keep it a secret, Gu Zheng didn't reveal everything until a few days ago. Gu Zheng also removed his hidden aura. Otherwise, Wan 'er would have sensed it immediately.
Therefore, Wan 'er now completely saw Gu Zheng as her father. Naturally, she wouldn't be as hostile as before. Because everything she had was prepared by Gu Zheng, including the Spiritual Treasure that he had specially left for her to protect herself and the Soaring Serpent Clan to protect her when she was young.
All of this made sense.
"That's really impressive. After your explanation, even I feel like she's my daughter."
After half a day, Gu Zheng finally finished listening to her long story. If it was a long story, it would take a few days and nights.
"Actually, even if she has your blood in her body, she's already attached. You have to know that she's already separated from the first three types. She's already a body of flesh and blood. In a way, you're her father.
"Is having a daughter who's not much weaker than you a bad thing? Besides, I asked you before. Is it bad for you?" Feng Ying raised her eyebrows for Wan 'er's sake. She didn't care that Gu Zheng had done them a great favor before.
To her, Wan 'er was also her daughter. Naturally, she wouldn't let her be wronged. She was completely at ease with this. Gu Zheng had used his strength to prove that Wan' er could be trusted with him.
After all, she couldn't leave this place very far, and Wan 'er couldn't stay here forever. If it weren't for her, Wan' er would have left long ago to find the imaginary father she spoke of.
"It's really not a bad thing. But you know, if it were anyone else, their reaction would be similar to mine if they suddenly had a daughter." Gu Zheng spread out his hands and smiled bitterly.
Now that things had reached this point, he had to accept it even if he didn't want to. Just as she said, when she used his blood to reconstruct her body, she had already connected with him. She wasn't a daughter, but she was even more like one. Even if he denied it, it was useless. He seriously doubted her claim that she had only used a drop of his blood. But now that things had been settled, it was impossible to return it.
"You don't even know that you've struck gold. After Wan 'er has a physical body, her stagnant strength and body will start to grow. Adding on her background, her strength might even reach another level." Feng Ying looked at him as if he had struck gold.
"I know. I don't need you to tell me that." Gu Zheng stood up to show that he understood.
"That's good. I'll give you some time to accept it. I'll wait for you over there. Miss Bai Jiu is still waiting for you." Feng Ying let out a sigh of relief.
"Is her name Bai Jiu?" Gu Zheng whispered.
"What did you say? If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. "Feng Ying looked over with some confusion.
"Nothing. I'm just asking what's going on with my friend." Gu Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and asked casually.
"Don't worry. After she swallowed it, she started to evolve. After a while, she'll naturally come out. Is there anything else?" Feng Ying looked at Gu Zheng.
"No, I'm looking at my spirit treasure now. Oh, no, my daughter." Gu Zheng had an embarrassed expression as he walked away from Feng Ying. He had accidentally blurted out his thoughts.
Feng Ying didn't ask Gu Zheng. She knew that for Gu Zheng to completely accept Wan 'er, it would take a lot of time. But she was sure that Gu Zheng would definitely treat her as his daughter in the future.
Firstly, she had used Gu Zheng's essence blood. It could be said that the two of them were very close. Secondly, Wan 'er wasn't a young lady. She was like a child who hadn't grown up yet. It was easier for them to grow closer. He didn't have much time to teach. She spent most of her time cultivating, which was why she had such a strong cultivation.
Walking out of the temporary stone house, Gu Zheng saw Elder Xiong looking over with a worried expression. He nodded slightly to indicate that he was fine. Then he turned his head to look at Wan 'er, who had stood up from the seat beside him.
Her eyes were wide open, and she was looking at him seriously. There was a trace of excitement in her eyes, as well as a trace of longing, a trace of joy, and even a trace of worry. It was as if she was afraid that Gu Zheng would leave again and leave her in this desolate place.
Gu Zheng could see that it wasn't her nature. She was afraid that she would be too active and didn't know her personality. She was afraid that he would dislike her. She had changed into a new set of clothes, and the butterfly-like wings on her back had disappeared.
Beside her was a golden ball the size of an eyeball. It was the Connate Spiritual Treasure from before.
While Gu Zheng was looking at her in a daze, Wan 'er had already walked over and stood in front of Gu Zheng. She raised her head and asked worriedly, "Father, are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine. I was just a little tired before. I'm fine now after a few days of rest." Gu Zheng didn't know why, but he directly avoided her question. He didn't want to tell her about what had happened to him.
Truth be told, it wasn't that Gu Zheng didn't have any dreams in the past. Back then, he only wanted to find a beautiful wife and raise a few children with her. However, too many things happened later on, and his identity as an ordinary person had long left him. He wouldn't deny that he didn't want a child of his own. Deep in his heart, he did have such thoughts.
However, he couldn't find a wife. Instead, a daughter appeared out of thin air. It had to be said that he was confused and a little impulsive. Was this a special arrangement by the heavens? He happened to meet such a special girl, and then by chance, she became his daughter.
As if thinking of something, Wan 'er's face suddenly darkened. She lowered her head and said, "Was my previous performance disappointing you? Is that why you didn't recognize me?"
"Very good. I'm very satisfied. However, I didn't have time to tell you. Your sister Fengying asked me to do something. I wanted to tell you personally when I came back. I didn't expect your sister to tell you so quickly." When Gu Zheng heard the other party's disappointed words, he could also feel the other party's dejection. He could not help but reach out and gently stroke her head.
"Really?" Wan 'er raised her head, her eyes filled with hope.
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?" Gu Zheng's palm had a bit of strength. He rubbed the top of her head, messing up her hair and making it messy.
However, Wan 'er wasn't angry at all. Her whole person became cheerful. Her eyes narrowed into slits. Clearly, Gu Zheng's words had put her in a very good mood. She didn't know how to hide her inner state. All her emotions could be seen clearly from her face.
"By the way, father, this is your magic treasure. Now I don't need it to defend myself." Just as she was feeling happy, Wan 'er suddenly raised her hand high to let Gu Zheng see clearly. It was the Primordial Spiritual Treasure from before.
"What will you do if you encounter danger?" Gu Zheng asked as he looked over and casually took it.
"Father, you're here to protect me. Of course I won't be afraid!" Wan 'er reached out and hugged Gu Zheng's waist. She pressed her cheek against his abdomen and said with a hint of attachment.
Gu Zheng's body stiffened and then relaxed. He suddenly lost interest in the Primordial Spiritual Treasure in his hand. He put his other hand on Wan 'er's head again. This time, he didn't comfort her. Instead, he gently tidied up the hair he had messed up just now.
His movements were so gentle. He slowly restored the hair to its original state, returning it to its original smoothness and smoothness.
Gu Zheng lowered his head and saw Wan 'er close her eyes. Her face was full of contentment. She was enjoying the gentleness and stability that he hadn't enjoyed for countless years. His heart was moved.
At this moment, seeing this scene, Gu Zheng almost wanted to return the Primordial Spiritual Treasure in his hand to her. Although she had a body of flesh and blood, it didn't mean that she could recognize a magic treasure as its master. After all, her background was still so special. Most importantly, even if he gave it to her, she could only play a limited role. It was far from being as useful as if he had it now.
Just like this, the two of them stood in the same place for a full 15 minutes. Only when Feng Ying appeared in the distance did they interrupt their warmth.
"How long are you going to stand here for? There will be opportunities in the future. Wan 'er, let me borrow your father for a while."
"Of course you can." Wan 'er released Gu Zheng and giggled at Feng Ying.
"I'll be there in a moment. You rest on the side first." Gu Zheng also bent down and stretched out his index finger to touch Wan 'er's nose. Then he turned and walked towards Feng Ying.
Feng Ying raised her head and signaled to Gu Zheng to follow her.
When the two of them disappeared, Wan 'er's eyes turned and she ran to Elder Xiong. She used a pleading tone.
"Elder Sister Xiong, can you tell me something about my father?"
Although she felt that Wan 'er calling her by her name was a bit childish, she didn't argue with her. It seemed that Gu Zheng had really accepted this daughter who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Of course. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Let's sit over there and talk."
"How is it? I can see that you've already accepted it. Your attitude is really good. I thought you'd need a few days. "
On the other side, Fengying purposely teased Gu Zheng as she walked.
"It's not that I have a good attitude. In fact, I really want a daughter. This time, I have to thank you."
Gu Zheng's words were out of Feng Ying's expectations. She thought that he would at least complain. She didn't expect him to give her such an answer. This made her unable to understand Gu Zheng's meaning. Was he being sarcastic or was he really thanking her? The Rain Master continued probingly.
"There's no need to thank me. Not only have you helped our clan so much, but I also watched Wan 'er grow up. However, if you really don't want to take her with you, I have a way to make her stay here. She won't bring you any trouble."
"There's really no need. Since she already has a connection with me, I will treat her like my own daughter." Gu Zheng naturally didn't know what the Rain Master was thinking. He just spoke the truth.
That little bit of time just now was enough for him to make a decision. Especially when facing Wan 'er, the blood connection in his heart was an unprecedented feeling. It was as if his entire body was melting.
He also understood that if he really went down this path, he wouldn't have the chance to have his own children. Since he had one by accident, he naturally wouldn't let her go.
Thinking of this, his body strangely felt heavy. It was as if he had an extra responsibility in his heart.
"If that's what you think, then I won't ask. As for the Flying Serpent Clan, I have already settled them down nearby. Find an opportunity to meet them. At the very least, they are the clan that your daughter is following." Feng Ying said with a smile, completely relieved.
Since Wan 'er was already Gu Zheng's daughter, she naturally had to explain to the Flying Snake clan. These days, she had wasted time on them. They finally understood that Wan' er wasn't the reincarnation of their ancestor.
But what surprised her was that she originally wanted to find a place for the Flying Snake clan. With the reputation of the phoenix clan, it was enough to protect them. But the Flying Snake clan rejected her good intentions and were prepared to continue following Wan 'er.
They believed that Wan 'er had appeared there because their ancestor had guided her. They believed that following Wan' er would lead them to a better future.
So, Wan 'er had a group of followers. As Wan' er's father, from a certain perspective, he was her subordinate.
"We're here. I won't be going down anymore." Feng Ying stopped. They had already reached the entrance. "There are naturally people waiting for you down there."
Gu Zheng nodded and walked down.
