Ling Xiao's expression was solemn and stern. He had never made a promise to anyone before, and this was the first time.
Hua Qiangu's eyes sparkled as he looked at Ling Xiao. He clapped his hands and said,""Yay, with big brother by my side, I can spend more time with daddy.”
"Don't worry. With my treatment, your father will recover very quickly. It's just that..." Ling Xiao paused as he spoke. Hua Qiangu hurriedly asked,""Big brother, but what?"
"It's nothing. You just have to be obedient.”Ling Xiao patted her little head, then looked at Hua Xiucai and shook his head. Even with his own treatment and recovery, Hua Xiucai would not live for more than five years. As a priest in this life, he had long been envied by the heavens. He was afraid that he would not have a good ending in the next life.
He really wanted to change Hua Xiucai's fate so that Hua Qiangu could receive a few more years of fatherly love. But now, he was only a mere Mahayana half-immortal. Compared to the brilliant Heavenly Dao beyond the tenth heaven, he was just an ant. Even Shangxian were only relatively large ants.
If he wanted to resist the Heavenly Dao of this world, he had to at least cultivate to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm.
"However, how can it be easy to cultivate to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Realm?”At the thought of this, Ling Xiao's heart sank even though he had the Supreme Heart Sword and the Zhen Wu Shen Ce, two peerless techniques.
"However, since I swore to become the strongest existence in this world and the fourth venerable one, I'm not going to let you go. If I really became timid, that would be a taboo in cultivation.”After thinking it through, Ling Xiao felt a wave of comfort. He patted Hua Qiangu's head and said to Hua Xiucai,""Uncle, from today onwards, I will be living with you. Don't worry, I will protect Little Gu until the day the Imperial Demon Brocade loses its effectiveness.”
In fact, Ling Xiao was a few years older than Hua Xiucai, but he had cultivated to the point where he naturally had the ability to retain his youthful appearance. He only looked like a 17-year-old youth.
"Thank you, benefactor." Hua Xiucai had already regained his color and his voice was much louder. He sighed,""Although my body has improved a lot after being treated by benefactor, I still have a feeling that I won't live for many years. So, I might have to trouble you in the future.”
"Uncle, don't worry. I've already replenished the Yuan Qi in your body. As long as you eat more meat that can replenish your Qi and blood, it won't be long before you can stand up and do rough work.”Ling Xiao was quite pleased with himself. Although his supernatural power was not as powerful as the heavens and he could not save Hua Xiucai's life, after his wood element Zhen yuan transformation, Hua Xiucai's physical fitness was no longer inferior to an ordinary martial artist, and his strength had increased greatly. After eating some meat, he might not lose even if he fought with a fierce tiger, let alone doing some rough work.
"Meat?" Hua Xiucai smiled bitterly." I've been bedridden for a few years. My family doesn't have any branches. How can I buy meat?" Moreover, Savior, you are an immortal cultivator, how can you see meat?”
Ling Xiao took out a handful of silver pieces from his chest pocket and pulled Hua Qiangu over. He squatted down and said with a smile,""Little Gu, open your little hands. I have a gift for you.”As he spoke, he couldn't help but pat her little head.
Hua Qiangu blinked his eyes and looked at his father, Hua Xiucai. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he was overjoyed and smiled,""Thank you, big brother. This is the first time someone has given Little Gu a gift.”
As he spoke, he spread his calloused hands and stared at Ling Xiao with anticipation. Seeing this, Ling Xiao also sighed to himself. However, seeing the little girl's happy expression, his mood suddenly improved as well.
Opening his hand, he placed the silver in Hua Qiangu's hand. When Hua Qiangu saw so much silver in his hand, he was stunned. She had never seen so much silver before. Usually, she would be very happy with just a dozen copper coins.
For a moment, Hua Qiangu was at a loss. She looked helplessly at her father, Hua Xiucai. "Benefactor, I've already been saved by you. Isn't it too shameless to take your money?" Hua Xiucai sighed. You'd better take back this silver.”
Ling Xiao stood up and smiled.""This silver is not for you, but for Little Gu. How could a young lady like her not have a few beautiful clothes? Eat your favorite snacks? Little Gu's face is sallow and lacks nutrition. As a father, don't you feel sorry for him?”
" I..." Hua Xiucai was speechless. He could only look at his daughter, at her thin body and her sallow face. A wave of tender affection surged in her heart. She finally no longer cared about her pitiful face and nodded."Little Gu, since your big brother wants to give it to you, just accept it. In the future, you can buy whatever clothes you want and whatever you want to eat, understand?”
Hua Qiangu nodded, then shook his head.""Little Gu doesn't want new clothes, and Little Gu doesn't want food. I'll keep this money for my father to take care of his body.”
Even though he said no, Ling Xiao could see a hint of desire in Hua Qiangu's eyes. However, this desire was quickly suppressed.
Looking at the sensible little girl in front of him, Ling Xiao suddenly felt a pang of sadness. He hurriedly said,""Little Gu, I gave you this money so that you can buy something you like. As for your father, with my treatment, he will recover in ten days to half a month. Don't worry.”
"Really?" Hua Qiangu didn't believe him and asked Hua Xiucai,""Daddy, is what big brother said true?”
"Yes, it's true!" Hua Xiucai raised her hand to caress her daughter's face, and tears welled up in her eyes,""Little Gu, it must be hard for you to have me as your father.”
Seeing his father cry, Hua Qiangu quickly shook his head.""Little Gu isn't bitter. Little Gu is very happy to have Daddy accompanying him.”
"Yes, yes, we are very happy." Hua Xiucai wiped away her tears and smiled when she saw Ling Xiao turn around.""Little Gu, why aren't you cleaning up your benefactor's room?”
"Okay, I'll go clean up Big Brother's room now.”Hua Qiangu nodded and skipped off to tidy up the room. She looked very happy.
Ling Xiao's mood seemed to have been infected by her, and he gradually relaxed. He pulled over a stool and sat on it before pulling the parents along with Hua Xiucai.
About an hour later, Hua Qiangu walked in with a face full of sweat. He clapped his hands and said with a smile,""Big brother, I've already tidied up the room. Come with me.”
Ling Xiao nodded and followed Hua Qiangu to the room that she had painstakingly tidied up.
Although the room wasn't big and was even a little crowded, the furnishings in the room gave off a surprisingly warm feeling. This feeling reminded Ling Xiao of his master's home on Earth. It was just as crowded and warm.
Taking a deep breath, Ling Xiao patted Hua Qiangu's head and said,""Little Gu, thank you so much. This room is really nice.”
"Okay, as long as you like it." Ling Xiao's words made Hua Qiangu very happy. Other than her father, Hua Xiucai, no one had ever thanked her.
"Then Little Gu will go and cook. What do you like to eat?”
Ling Xiao was about to say that he did not eat the grains of the mortal world, but seeing Hua Qiangu's eager expression, he could not bear to reject him and could only answer,""I like meat very much. I'll go to the mountains to hunt a wild rabbit later. Little Gu, make rabbit stew for me. This way, your father can also drink some meat soup to nourish his body.”
"Okay, okay. Little Gu is going to prepare.”Hua Qiangu ran to the kitchen.
Ling Xiao laughed and left the house as well. He used Spatial Bending and went to the back of the mountain to hunt a fat hare.
Speaking of which, this ancient world was really good. There were wild rabbits and pheasants everywhere in the mountains. As long as he had the strength, he didn't need to spend money to eat meat. This was much better than on Earth. Moreover, Hua Qiangu's world was rich in spiritual energy. These wild birds absorbed spiritual energy to grow, and their meat was even more delicious. It was definitely better than the so-called five A beef of the Japanese pirates on Earth.
Carrying the wild rabbit, Ling Xiao walked back happily. When they arrived at the forest outside the Hua family home, they found dozens of people gathered there.
Ling Xiao cursed inwardly. He quickly sped up and returned to the Hua family. These people were all dressed like farmers. Each of them held a torch and kept shouting to burn the demoness to death. It was as if they wanted to burn the Hua family and Hua Qiangu to death.
