951: Chapter 269: Adopt a Family Member 951: Chapter 269: Adopt a Family Member A silhouette floated nearby, taken aback by the sudden appearance of the Divine God Beast and the Fairy.
For a moment, it seemed at a loss.
Ji Feixue also looked at Su He.
She had instinctively followed out and killed, not yet fully understanding the situation, and had already struck down a Houdou with her sword.
Her wounds had healed and, with the assistance of Moral Scriptural Tao’s Rhyme, though it had been only slightly over ten days, her Tao Cultivation had ascended a level.
Teaming up with Su He to suppress a Houdou was effortless.
Comparatively, under the same conditions, killing a Divine God Beast was easier than suppressing a cultivator.
Divine God Beasts do not resurrect.
They lack the complex methods of cultivators and rely solely on Divine Skills, making them easier to control.
Of course, this was only if beings like Ji Feixue and Su He took action.
Ordinary cultivators faced with Divine God Beasts of the same Boundary Status could only flee.
Su He returned Ji Feixue’s gaze with a light laugh, “I have some connections with the Bu Tian Clan, and a clansman from the Tian Nu Clan is…
a friend.
Having conflicts with Houdou, I would inevitably get involved no matter what.”
“A woman?” Ji Feixue’s voice was cold.
How could an ordinary cultivator possibly be a friend of a Divine God Beast?
“Yes—but not in that sense!” Su He hastily clarified, “Just friends.
She belongs to the Tian Nu Clan with a special bloodline, which not only helps stabilize my Inner World but also sorts out Laws.”
Ji Feixue was noncommittal.
She didn’t care who was around the Dragon Turtle.
She had already said she would find a way to dissolve the Marriage Certificate.
The future was the future’s matter; it had no bearing on her current self!
The nearby shadow trembled slightly.
Their tribe was deeply hidden; ordinary people couldn’t possibly know about them, but as soon as Su He mentioned the Tian Nu Clan and the Bu Tian Clan, it knew that the Dragon Turtle was very knowledgeable about their tribe.
Regarding having a clansman as a friend…
there must be clansmen who had been subdued by the Dragon Turtle.
But the Dragon Turtle referring to them as “friends” likely wasn’t by force.
If the Dragon Turtle Tribe were forcing them, they wouldn’t need to be secretive about it.
The shadow bowed deeply to Su He: “Yi River of the Tian Nu Clan, I’ve met two Dao friends.
Thank you for the rescue.”
Ji Feixue said nothing, and Su He waved a paw, “Dispense with the formalities, have you resurrected first?”
At this moment, the shadow was not even a divine soul; it was just a wandering ghost.
Upon hearing Su He speak, the shadow paused, a bitter smile appearing on its face.
Ji Feixue glanced at Su He.
After spending a few days together, she realized that this Dragon Turtle’s cultivation knowledge was extremely lacking and did not match its combat power.
She said crisply, “His status is that his Flesh Body was destroyed, and he forcefully merged with his Life Bound Star, scattering after a burst.
He can’t be revived and will fade away after being a wandering ghost for a few days.”
Su He paused for a moment.
He wasn’t very familiar with cultivators’ Life Bound Star.
Being a Divine God Beast, he inherently lacked such things—could the Four Sacred Beasts condense a Life Bound Star?
Su He thought to himself, his gaze on the shadow filled with sympathy.
Ji Feixue’s pupils flickered slightly as if she had something to say, but she seemed unwilling to be involved.
Su He looked at her askew.
Ji Feixue was silent for a moment: “The Netherworld can sustain his life.”
Having spent more than ten days in the Netherworld, she naturally researched the Netherworld Qi.
Such a place was most suited for such ghostly remnants.
Su He had a Netherworld Passage, but whether the Netherworld inside belonged to Su He or the Western Thunder King was still hard to say.
There were significant secrets in that place, and casually sending someone in wasn’t a wise choice.
Ji Feixue glanced at Su He with a sharp look, expressing her disapproval.
That was why she didn’t dislike Su He during their time together; with anyone else, she wouldn’t have said another word.
The shadow noted Ji Feixue’s indifference, fearing that the “Netherworld” they spoke of might not be coveted by just anyone.
He bowed again: “I dare not hope for more, with my Flesh Body long destroyed and my divine soul weakening, how can I defy fate and survive?
Only the Goddess of the Tian Nu Clan is here; may I ask the two of you to send her to the Undamaged Realm?”
The shadow bowed again, gesturing with a hand, and his corpse exploded suddenly, releasing a lotus that wrapped around a baby girl and flew upwards.
The baby girl, still in swaddling clothes, was brimming with Spiritual Energy.
Her upper body was human, with wings on her back, ablaze with flames.
Her lower body, however, was that of a snake.
Had she not had wings, she would be indistinguishable from the Bu Tian Clan.
Reversion!
The shadow looked at the baby girl in the swaddling clothes, with reluctance and helplessness flowing in his eyes.
Ji Feixue’s eyebrows furrowed—she liked meddlesome situations the least.
The shadow hurriedly added, “I wouldn’t dare to misuse the two of you!
Here is a treasure, as a token of my gratitude.”
As he spoke, a symbol appeared on his body.
Su He’s eyes lit up, familiar people…
familiar treasures!
Ji Feixue also showed a hint of surprise: “Kui Trigram?”
It was indeed the Kui Trigram that the Tian Nu Clan had once given to Su He in future times.
The shadow was delighted, recognized the hexagram!
Knowing the value of the hexagram, he also must understand the characteristics of the hexagram that cannot be forcibly taken unless they share a compatible nature—unless he voluntarily offers it—or unless they also have a hexagram that can suppress the Kui Trigram.
But in this world, how could one casually meet someone who also had a hexagram?
The shadow held the baby girl in front of him, set the Kui Trigram symbol to flicker again, and was ready to pray when the Kui Trigram symbol suddenly flashed, breaking free from his control and darted out.
Like a spiritual bird, it zoomed into Su He’s body, refusing to come back out.
Ji Feixue: “?”
Tian Nu Shadow: “!!!”
The hexagram had autonomously chosen its master?!
The entire shadow of the Tian Nu was stunned.
He had spent three thousand years being buffeted by chaotic currents in space rifts to subdue the Kui Trigram!
The Kui Trigram had only shown its form, yet it had never wavered, refusing to recognize a master.
How had it effortlessly attached itself to the Dragon Turtle upon seeing him?
The shadow of the Tian Nu trembled more, becoming more ethereal, bewildered and at a loss as it looked at Su He.
