Chapter 1934: Chapter 1977: Little Rou’s Gift of Thanks
Seeing the sages of Central Earth arriving in person, the female Five Qi Angel Lord no longer had the heart to resist. Enduring immense pain, she severed a wisp of her own soul.
The rest of the angels, after exchanging glances, reluctantly cut off a wisp of their souls as well.
Jiang Fan took out a small tower and absorbed all of their souls into it.
After completing this step, he put away the Evil Sword and said, "Consider yourselves lucky for being sensible!"
He immediately waved his hand and threw out a hundred sets of clothes for them to change into.
Then he looked towards the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner and said, "Why did you take so long to arrive?"
"With such a big commotion, you should have sensed it earlier."
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner smiled and replied, "The Hell Realm envoy group has arrived, and all of us sages went to welcome them."
"A thousand female Asuras and corpses suitable for possession were distributed among various places due to the Great Wine Sacrifices."
"The remaining ten Asura Emperors, along with their envoy officer Qing Jiu, have come with me to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. They are waiting for you outside the mountain gate."
"Do you want to meet them now?"
They finally arrived!
Jiang Fan finally felt at ease. Without the ten Asura Emperors from the Hell Realm, he really wasn’t confident about initiating the Heavenly Realm war.
After thinking for a moment, he waved slightly: "Let them wait for a while. I’ll handle internal matters first."
After speaking, he clasped his hands in his sleeves and sized up the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner from head to toe.
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner was a bit puzzled by his scrutiny: "You don’t intend to deal with me, do you?"
Jiang Fan grinned inscrutably: "Be honest, what’s your relationship with my godmother?"
A hint of guilt flashed in the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner’s eyes, and he said:
"We are strangers."
Jiang Fan scoffed: "Strangers, and you would use your own body to withstand a strike from the Young Emperor for her?"
"Strangers, and you’d fight a group of Ancient Giants alone for her?"
"Strangers, and you deliberately avoid her?"
"Do you dare remove the disguise on your face right in front of her?"
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner acted nonchalantly and said, "Kid, why care so much?"
"I have things to do, gotta go now."
With those words, he hastily turned to mist and left.
Just as he left, Lianjing Venerable and True Word Venerable arrived with Instantaneous Movement.
"Fan’er!" Lianjing Venerable exclaimed joyfully.
Even though Green Pearl repeatedly emphasized that Jiang Fan showed no signs of death on the Book of Life and Death, as long as he didn’t return for a day, Lianjing Venerable’s heart wasn’t at ease.
Seeing him alive and truly back, there was an indescribable relief.
Now, both the Young Emperor and Jiang Fan, her two sons, were alive.
This was already the best result.
Jiang Fan watched the figure of the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner leaving and became even more certain that he was avoiding Lianjing Venerable.
There was undoubtedly a story between them.
"Made godmother worried." Jiang Fan came back to his senses and said, "Although I encountered some dangers in the Southern Heavenly Realm, I ultimately returned safely."
He recounted his experiences in the Sumeru Divine Prison and the Southern Heavenly Realm.
As he faced more and more life-and-death situations, he gradually became indifferent to them and rarely mentioned them to others.
Including his closest confidant, Yun Shang, he couldn’t remember the last time he shared his experiences with her.
But in front of Lianjing Venerable, he was willing to talk about it and in great detail.
Lianjing Venerable listened intently.
She listened as Jiang Fan described the great horror of the Sumeru Divine Prison and the blocked return path in the Southern Heavenly Realm by the Giant Emperor and the Inferior Sages in a nonchalant tone.
She could imagine how much peril Jiang Fan had faced to become so indifferent.
She gently touched Jiang Fan’s face, which had gradually shed its youthfulness, filled with tenderness:
"Fan’er has had such a difficult journey, and the road ahead will only be harder."
"Unfortunately, godmother’s cultivation is limited, and I can’t help you much."
She felt regretful for accumulating merit for the Young Emperor for so long and never considering entering sagehood herself.
Now, with Jiang Fan’s path growing ever harder, her Heavenly Human Five Declines cultivation was insufficient to assist him.
Jiang Fan held her hand gratefully and said, "Godmother, please don’t say that."
"You’ve helped me in so many ways, and I’m already very thankful."
"In the future, I don’t need godmother’s help anymore. Seeing you safe and live a long life is the most likely outcome I’d be happily looking forward to."
Living long, huh?
Lianjing Venerable’s lips carried a trace of unnoticeable bitterness.
She feared she wouldn’t live to see that day.
Simply witnessing the safe birth of Jiang Fan’s child and seeing the continuation of his lineage would be enough for her.
"Godmother, what’s wrong?"
Jiang Fan noticed her sudden drop in mood.
Lianjing Venerable quickly shook her head: "It’s nothing, by the way, here are two things for you."
She took out the Space Mirror and the pouch containing the pretty female angel, Little Rou.
Jiang Fan accepted them and glanced into the Space Mirror, finding the Asura Empress’s family still securely bound.
Meanwhile, the Little Qilin was asleep on the ground, holding something in its mouth that glinted with golden light.
"What did it find to eat?" Jiang Fan wondered but didn’t give it much thought.
He opened the pouch containing Little Rou and she and the others fell out.
With a swish, over thirty Nascent Soul Realm angels tumbled out.
Feeling the aura of Central Earth, they all realized they had been rescued.
Little Rou looked around, and upon finding Jiang Fan, she knelt on one knee in excitement, "Thank you, senior, for saving us!"
Jiang Fan said, "I could only save you. The rest of the Angel Clan remain under the control of the Giant Emperor, and I am currently powerless to rescue them."
Little Rou hurriedly responded, "No, no, senior’s help to us is already a great blessing."
"Little Rou will fulfill her promise as agreed."
Oh?
Jiang Fan suddenly recalled that this pretty female angel had once said if they were safely rescued, she’d give him a surprise.
But given their dire straits, what kind of surprise could they possibly offer Jiang Fan?
Little Rou unfolded her grey wings, revealing among the dense feathers a single golden one.
At first glance, it bore some resemblance to the small golden feather from Xia Chaoge, but without the overwhelming pressure.
Little Rou grasped the feather and forcefully pulled it out, causing it to bleed slightly.
Pain etched on her face, she handed the blood-stained golden feather to Jiang Fan.
"This item is a token of gratitude for senior’s life-saving grace."
Jiang Fan accepted the golden feather, puzzled, and asked, "Is this feather special?"
Before Little Rou could reply, the female Five Qi Angel Lord, who had just changed clothes, happened to witness the scene and showed a shocked expression:
"The bloodline of the No Heaven Old Realm Master?"
Hmm?
Jiang Fan looked at her in surprise: "The No Heaven Old Realm Master? You’re saying Little Rou is a descendant of a Holy Angel?"
The female Five Qi Angel Lord scrutinized Little Rou with astonishment: "Yes."
"But the No Heaven Old Realm Master fell ten thousand years ago."
"His descendants were wiped out completely, without a trace of bloodline left behind. I never expected there would still be remnants in the world."
Being referred to as ’remnants’ indicated that the No Heaven Old Realm Master didn’t die a natural death.
He likely perished in a struggle with other Boundary Masters of the Heavenly Realm.
This made him recall the white-robed skeleton in Thunder God Heavenly Palace.
Could it be that the white-robed skeleton is the No Heaven Realm Master?
With a flicker in his eyes, Jiang Fan suppressed his internal queries, held the golden feather, and asked Little Rou:
"Why are you giving me this feather?"
Little Rou’s beautiful eyes gleamed with intelligence, and she smiled as she asked in return:
"Does the senior wish to remain enslaved by the ’Heavenly Thunder Six Parts’?"
