The three things that Liuli ntioned made your face imdiately sink.
Among the three items, you had heard about Jiu Xianmin before, and All Forms of Sen Luo had a move like that. However, it was different from the talismans and arrays you had previously used. Now, what was needed was a genuine magic artifact. Moreover, it was only ntioned in unofficial folk history, making it extrely difficult to find.
But at least you knew what it was, and if you really put your mind to it, it might still be possible to find. However, you had never heard of the Soul Lock.
As for the Grandma ng Soup, well, it seems you’d have to make another deal with Grandma ng. This ti, you reckoned you’d definitely be swindled to death by her.
However, for Zhao’er, it was all worth it!
"Liuli, what is the Soul Lock?"
Wu Qiyi, with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, asked Liuli on your behalf.
"Auntie, Liuli doesn’t know either."
"Hmm?" Scratching her head, she then asked Liuli, "Is the Grandma ng Soup the sa as the one given to the ghosts to drink on the Bridge of Helplessness?"
"Yes, yes."
"Why do we need to use Grandma ng Soup?" Although she didn’t quite understand the specifics, concerned for Zhao’er, Nie Ying still asked.
"Because Grandma ng Soup is the best thing in the Underworld for gathering souls, ya know." Liuli said with a smile as she hopped off your thigh and cheerily walked over to Zhao’er, stretching out her arms, "Liuli wants mommy to hold her."
Even though she lacked independent cognitive faculties, Zhao’er still extended her arms to embrace Liuli, and with her slender jade fingers gently pinched Liuli’s left earlobe, eliciting "giggle giggle" laughter from Liuli.
"Mommy is so naughty, knowing that Liuli can’t withstand being teased like this."
This was rely an instinctive response from Zhao’er, but to everyone else, it seed increasingly odd.
Could it be, Liuli really is your child with Zhao’er?
Impossible...
"Daddy might not know this, but Grandma ng Soup isn’t inherently from the Underworld. It is produced through Grandma ng’s original magic artifact, which was a gift from the Queen Mother of the West. It’s unique within the Three Realms and Five Elents."
At that mont, Lei Jianhua brought over a plate with so washed cherry tomatoes and macaque peaches.
Liuli grabbed a cherry tomato, tossed it into her little mouth and began chewing while explaining, "As everyone knows, Grandma ng Soup is the only thing that severs the connection between past lives and the present life. But at the sa ti, it can also quickly gather a person’s Three Souls and Seven Spirits, condensing them without dispersing. Only in this way can one remain intact in spirit and form within the six realms of reincarnation, peacefully reincarnate."
"Oh—"
Everyone suddenly ca to a realization, nodding in unison.
"Little one, how do you know all this?" Xiao Feng considered himself your brother, so since Liuli was your daughter, he naturally beca her uncle.
"You guess."
Liuli grabbed a macaque peach, and before the onlookers’ eyes could follow, the skin of the peach vanished in a flash.
Then, Liuli offered the peeled macaque peach to Zhao’er’s rosy lips, "Mommy, eat the peach."
Zhao’er seed to like Liuli quite a bit. Although she didn’t initiate thoughts, her actions were natural and instinctive. To you all, they were all gestures of a mother doting on her daughter.
"Hey hey, Little Yunyun, no kidding. From my angle, Zhao’er and Little Liuli really do look alike, and she also resembles you a bit, eh? It’s like she’s a combination of you two."
"Uncle Feng is so silly. Of course, I look like mommy and daddy since they’re my parents."
Although mocked by Liuli, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but break into a grin.
Apparently, being scolded by such an adorable little girl was also a matter for happiness.
At that mont, Zong Wangyue pulled you aside and whispered, "Boss, I just asked soone to check, among the three items, with a bit more effort we should be able to find Jiu Xianmin; however, nobody has heard of the Soul Lock, and as for Grandma ng Soup, I’m afraid you’ll have to handle that personally and ask Grandma ng for it."
You nodded, "Leave the search for Jiu Xianmin to you. Notify the mont you have any leads, but don’t act rashly. This item is no small matter."
"Got it, I know."
"Daddy, I want to play, I want to play!"
"Alright, alright, I’ll take you to the amusent park."
In the following days, you kept taking Liuli to various places to have fun, including amusent parks, ocean parks, the parks, and so on.
Wu Qiyi accompanied you for the first few days, but after that she got a call from Xi Yu and left.
Then you drove Zhao’er and Liuli to the beach by yourself.
"Wow—this is the sea, it’s so big, so beautiful! Even bigger than Lake Styx!"
As soon as she got out of the car, standing on the golden sand in her cute casual children’s outfit, Liuli cheerfully began to frolic.
"Lake Styx?"
You raised an eyebrow and followed Little Liuli’s pace, asking with a smile, "Little Liuli, what is Lake Styx?"
"Lake Styx is the biggest, deepest lake where we live, full of many, many things," Liuli said, turning her head towards Zhao’er, her face showing a hint of sweetness, "Before, my mother loved to take Liuli for walks on the black sand beach by Lake Styx."
Black sand beach?
The more you interacted with Liuli, the more you learned, and the deeper your shock beca.
Although it was only through bits and pieces of conversation, you already knew that Liuli’s "ho" couldn’t possibly be in any corner of Earth, but in another dinsion. As for what space it was, Liuli wouldn’t say, and you didn’t feel it right to ask.
As she spoke, Liuli took Zhao’er’s right hand with her left and jogged up to you, then took your left hand with her right, and smiled sweetly, "Daddy, when mother recovers, we will all go ho together and always, always stay together!"
At this ti, you glanced at Zhao’er beside you.
The evening sun was just perfectly casting its glow on the nearby sea and on her, the interplay of light and shadow outlining a stunningly beautiful face and figure.
Speaking of which, it had been quite a while since you had taken a good look at Zhao’er.
Zhao’er’s gaze was fixed on you; you looked at her, and she at you. In those vacant eyes was a faint smile, and that smile always made your soul tremble.
"Daddy, Liuli is hungry. Aunty said the seafood here is really plump; I want to eat so."
Your unidentified daughter claid hunger, and of course, as a father, you couldn’t neglect her needs. Imdiately, you patted her little pineapple head, "Alright, I’ll go order the food; you and mom enjoy the sea breeze a little longer."
This season was swiftly transitioning towards sumr, and the sun by the beach was still fierce, but the ultraviolet rays that most girls dreaded had no effect on Zhao’er and Liuli. Instead, they seed to enjoy basking in the sunlight.
There were several seafood stalls by the beach, and you picked a relatively clean one and ordered a lot.
And as the restaurant began preparing the food, you turned around only to find that Zhao’er and Little Liuli had been surrounded by a few young people with hair dyed in all colors of the rainbow!
