"So, you killed so many people just to summon Xia Qiudong's soul and send him away?"
Xia He nodded. "Yes, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to summon Xia Qiudong's soul even after so many attempts. Can you tell me where Xia Qiudong's soul is?"
Jiujiu reached out and summoned Xia Qiudong's soul.
When he saw the tiny ball of Xia Qiudong in Jiujiu's hand, Jiujiu felt that Xia He was about to cry.
Xia He looked at Xia Qiudong in Jiujiu's hand and wiped the corners of his eyes. He wanted to touch Xia Qiudong, but he was afraid that his movements would disturb Xia Qiudong's soul.
Xia Qiudong had been isolated in Jiujiu's body and knew nothing about Xia He. When Jiujiu suddenly took him out and saw Xia He standing in front of him, looking at him eagerly, Xia Qiudong thought that it was time for the sacrifice.
Xia Qiudong stood up from Jiujiu's hand and looked at Jiujiu, asking, "Miss Jiujiu, are we going to sacrifice now?"
Hearing Xia Qiudong say sacrifice, Xia He felt a sharp pain in his heart. He hurriedly said, "Qiudong, it's me. I'm your grandfather."
Xia Qiudong turned to look at Xia He, then looked at Jiujiu with questioning eyes, as if asking whether this person was telling the truth or not.
Jiujiu nodded at Xia Qiudong. "He is your grandfather, Xia He."
Xia He suddenly disappeared when Xia Lan was three years old. Even Xia Lan didn't have much of an impression of Xia He. Xia Qiudong's impression of Xia He was completely based on his grandmother's words. Hearing Jiujiu say that Xia He was his grandfather, Xia Qiudong stared blankly at Xia He and asked, "Are you really my grandfather?"
After Xia Lan left the village when she was three years old, although Xia He would occasionally visit her, he never dared to let his family see him.
Other than the fact that he had lost control of his power and was afraid that he would hurt his family, his appearance had not changed in the slightest even after so many years.
Later on, when he could no longer control that power, he never went back.
After hiding for so many years, she finally saw her only family in this world. Tears fell from Xia He's eyes.
Xia He walked up to Xia Lan with reddened eyes. She raised a hand to stroke Xia Lan's hair and said softly, "Qiu Dong, you've suffered all these years."
According to Grandma, Grandpa died after he went missing.
Ever since their parents had passed away and their grandmother had passed away, Xia Qiu and Dong Qian had thought that they were all alone in this world.
Now that they suddenly realized that they were not alone, Xia Qiu Dong's feelings were particularly complicated. They were a little excited, but also a little at a loss.
But in the end, kinship triumphed over everything.
Xia Qiudong looked at Xia He, who had walked up to them, and called out in a choked voice, "Grandpa."
"Ai." Xia He walked up to Jiujiu, extremely emotional. She looked at Xia Qiu and Dong Qian with a fervent expression. She was extremely emotional.
Looking at Xia Qiudong and Xia He's tearful faces, Jiujiu sighed helplessly and said, "Don't worry. "Are you sure you want to be reunited with your family in this state?"
Not to mention that Xia He's current condition was still unstable, just Xia Qiu and Dong Qian's soul state was enough to give her a headache.
Hearing Jiujiu's words, Xia He finally realized the current situation. Xia He lowered her head to look at Xia Qiu and Dong Qian in Jiujiu's hand. Then, she looked up at Jiujiu with a determined expression. "As long as Miss can bring Qiu and Dong back to life, I'll do anything you ask of me."
"She wants to become a sacrifice herself," Jiujiu looked down at Xia He, "I don't have the final say in this matter. You should talk to your granddaughter."
Jiujiu's words completely shattered Xia Qiu and Dong Qian's joy of being reunited with their grandfather. Xia Qiu and Dong Qian also thought of their deal with Jiujiu. Although she was a little sad that she was going to die right after meeting her grandfather, she calmly accepted her fate.
Xia Qiu and Dong Qian looked up at Xia He and said softly, "Grandpa, humans need me. I have to become a sacrifice. Otherwise, humans will fall into the claws of the demon race. I can't disregard the lives of humans for my own sake. I can't be so selfish."
Xia He's expression instantly turned ugly at Xia Qiu and Dong Qian's words.
Xia He pursed her lips and looked at Xia Qiu and Dong Qian, "Qiu and Dong, how could you be so stupid? You actually believed the words of those hypocrites."
"As someone who abandoned your wife and children, you don't have the right to call them hypocrites, okay?" Jiujiu added insult to injury.
Xia He choked on Jiujiu's words and hurriedly explained to Xia Qiu and Dong Qian, "Qiu and Dong, I have my own difficulties. At that time, they begged me like that. Moreover, they were too powerful. I was worried that if I didn't leave with them, they would attack your grandmother and father. At that time, I had no choice but to leave. Otherwise, I would have harmed them."
"Xia He, don't you feel that way? Xia Qiu and I have already told you the truth, but you keep lying to us. You will affect my trust in you."
Xia He was silent for a moment. She looked down at Xia Qiu and Dong Qian in Jiujiu's hand and said, "Let Qiu and Dong go back first."
This meant that these words were not suitable for Xia Qiu and Dong Qian to hear.
Jiujiu took back Xia Qiu and Dong Qian. She looked at Xia He calmly and waited for Xia He's answer.
Xia He said with a gloomy expression, "I left not only because I was afraid that they would hurt my wife and children, but also because they painted a big picture for me."
Xia Qiu and Dong Qian pursed their dry lips and said to Jiujiu, "You know that I awakened the bloodline of the Nan Tribe. After awakening the bloodline, I have the ability to live forever, just like the Nan Tribe's ancestor.
You also saw that I am almost seventy years old now, but I look like a person in his thirties. All of this is because I awakened the power of the Nan Tribe's ancestor.
At first, I only thought that this power could protect my wife and children. Later, when I saw that I didn't change, but my wife kept aging and my children kept growing, I completely panicked. I didn't want to become a person. So, they told me that as long as I helped them divine the future, they could tell me how to make my wife and children live forever. "
"I am an ordinary person. I can't watch my wife and children grow old while I don't change at all."
"So when they said that they could help your wife and children live forever, you left with them."
Xia He nodded. His face was deathly still.
He did leave with Vermilion Bird and the others, but Jiujiu had seen the results.
He helped them see the future, but because his body couldn't control the divine power, he lost control. During that time, he was muddle-headed. Besides not killing anyone, he was no different from a zombie.
