He had paid such a huge price, but the Vermilion Bird and the others had not even been able to protect his children, much less teach them the art of immortality.
When he thought of Xia Lan, Xia He's eyes began to turn bloodshot. The corners of his mouth widened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his entire being became exceptionally malevolent.
Seeing that Xia He was about to lose control, Jiujiu hurriedly slapped Xia He's shoulder. She lowered her head and looked into Xia He's eyes. "Since you can make a deal with the Vermilion Bird and the others, then you can make a deal with me. Give me your divination abilities, and not only will I let Xia Qiu and Dong live on unscathed, but I will also give you peace and prosperity. How about it?"
Jiujiu's slap dispersed Xia He's anger, and Xia He instantly regained his senses.
When he heard Jiujiu's generous offer, Xia He's first reaction was not to be happy, but to be on guard. "What do you want?"
Jiujiu cracked her neck, and listened to the creaking sounds of her joints. Her face was full of impatience as she said, "I want to leave this world, but I don't want to make a losing deal."
She had only come here to show her love, but now she was forced to listen to Xia He and the Vermilion Bird's complicated story.
In the face of absolute power, any resistance was nothing but a paper tiger.
The Vermilion Bird was powerful in front of Xia He, but in front of Jiujiu, it was just so-so.
In Jiujiu's eyes, a mythical beast from a small plane was not even worth mentioning.
Jiujiu saw that Xia He had not uttered a word, so she frowned and asked impatiently, "Do you agree or not?"
Seeing that Jiujiu was starting to get impatient, Xia He's heart thumped loudly.
If he gave everything to Jiujiu, but Jiujiu did not help him, then he would have nothing.
But now, Xia Qiu and Dong were in Jiujiu's hands. Apart from his divination abilities, he had no bargaining chip to challenge Jiujiu.
Xia He thought about it for a long time, then finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement to Jiujiu. "Alright, I agree. I'll give you my divination abilities, but you mustn't forget what you promised me. If you don't …"
"That's not possible." Jiujiu smiled. "I like everything, but I don't like lying. I'll naturally help you with what I promised. Don't worry."
Jiujiu placed a finger on Xia He's forehead.
Xia He relaxed her body and felt her power being slowly taken away by Jiujiu.
As Jiujiu extracted the divination ability from Xia He's body, Xia He's appearance began to age bit by bit. Very quickly, he turned into an ordinary 60-year-old man.
After removing the divination abilities from Xia He's body, Jiujiu gave them to Steamed Bun, then gave Xia He a pill for him to eat. She said to Xia He, "Since you trust me so much, I'll buy one get one free. I'll also help you deal with Vermillion Bird."
Jiujiu directly removed their souls from Xia Qiu and Dong's bodies.
Without Xia Qiu and Dong's bodies, Jiujiu could only revert to her original appearance.
Seeing a beautiful woman walk out of Xia Qiu and Dong's body, Xia He's eyes became a bit sluggish.
Xia He stared blankly at Jiujiu and asked, "This is your original appearance?"
Jiujiu's lips curled into a smile. "Yes, I'm pretty, right?"
Xia He smiled helplessly. "Miss, don't tease this old man."
Seeing Xia He's helpless expression, Jiujiu chuckled. She raised her hand and took out Xia Qiu and Dong's souls, placing them in her body.
The moment the souls were placed in her body, Xia Qiu and Dong's corpse-like body suddenly showed signs of life. At first, there was a heartbeat, then breathing, and finally, slowly opening their eyes.
Previously, when Jiujiu was in Xia Qiu and Dong's body, Xia Qiu and Dong's eyes were as kind as the stars. However, when Xia Qiu and Dong returned, their eyes were filled with the confusion and shyness of a young girl.
With just one look, Xia He knew that the person in front of her was her granddaughter, Xia Qiu and Dong.
Xia He had been separated from her family for so long. Now that she finally saw her family again, Xia He hugged Xia Qiu and Dong.
Jiujiu looked at Xia He and Xia Qiu and Dong's teary eyes and smirked. "I'll go out and help you repair the barrier. You stay here and wait for me to come back. Got it?"
Because Jiujiu had returned Xia Qiu and Dong to her in one piece, and because Jiujiu's appearance was too young, she looked even younger than Xia Qiu and Dong by a few years. Xia He couldn't help but show some concern as an elder. "Miss, you'll be fine by yourself, right? If not, this old man is willing to sacrifice. "
"Me?"
After completing so many missions, this was the first time someone was concerned about her safety.
Jiujiu raised her head and laughed arrogantly. "I'm much older than this world. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiujiu released Little White.
Although Little White was also a divine beast, it had been by Jiujiu's side for so many years. With the nourishment of immortal pills and spiritual energy, even Exalted Gods might not be its match.
As soon as Little White appeared, Xia He was suppressed to the point of suffocation. As for Xia Qiu and Dong, they fainted.
Jiujiu flipped onto Little White's back and waved at Xia He. "I'll be back soon. Don't run off."
Xia He thought to herself as she watched Jiujiu hop away on Little White.
As expected of a mission enforcer.
As soon as Jiujiu and Little White came out of the barrier, they saw Qing Lan, who had been waiting outside.
Qing Lan saw Jiujiu, who was wearing Xia Qiu and Dong's vest. When he saw Jiujiu's original appearance riding out on Little White, he immediately reached out to stop Jiujiu. "Miss, may I ask if you've seen Xia Qiu and Dong?"
Jiujiu looked at Qing Lan and smiled. "So you also recognize people by their faces."
Although her appearance was unfamiliar, Qing Lan recognized Jiujiu from her familiar tone.
Qing Lan looked at Jiujiu in astonishment. He couldn't understand how Jiujiu could change her appearance after going in.
Moreover, the mount that Jiujiu was riding was clearly no weaker than his own.
Jiujiu was clearly a very ordinary human when she went in, but when she came out, she became like this. It was obvious that Jiujiu's transformation was caused by the barrier, and the person inside the barrier was Xia He.
Could it be that Xia He caused Jiujiu to become like this?
Thinking back to the time when he used Xia Lan to summon ferocious beasts, Qing Lan's pupils shrank. His body instantly tensed up and he assumed a battle stance.
Jiujiu's mouth twitched. She looked at Qing Lan and asked with a smile, "What, do you want to fight me?"
Qing Lan's face was solemn. "If Miss wants to do something harmful to humans, then I have no choice but to offend you."
