Chapter 494 - Little Monster, We Meet Again
Chapter 494: Little Monster, We Meet Again
Xining still needed to take more than seven hours on the train to Görmu. Sitting in the car, Yan Qingxiu ordered food for everyone. The flight attendant brought the lunchbox over. Yan Qingxiu hurriedly opened the lunchbox, took out his chopsticks, and handed it to Han Jun respectfully.
Han Jun actually accepted it calmly.
Seeing this scene, Han Miao and Han Zheng looked at each other in shock. Actually, they had already sensed that Auntie Dong’s attitude towards Han Jun was different, just not as exaggerated as it was today.
“Auntie Dong, why are you so biased towards Junjun today?” Han Miao couldn’t hold it in anymore and asked.
Yan Qingxiu looked at Han Jun with a pious and fanatical gaze as if he was looking at an idol. He said, “You don’t understand. Master is worth my life to protect.”
Han Miao: “?”
Master?
Han Zheng said to Han Miao, “Did Auntie Dong lose her mind from research?”
Han Miao also felt that this was very likely.
After Han Miao and Han Zheng’s attention was diverted, Han Jun said to Yan Qingxiu, “You don’t have to do this. It will attract criticism.”
Yan Qingxiu immediately put on a terrifying expression that said he would kill whoever dared to criticize him. He stared at Han Jun with a fanatical gaze and said sincerely, “You are my master. I cannot be disrespectful to my master.”
Han Jun didn’t say anything else.
Yan Qingxiu’s respect and love for Yan Qingqiu was an instinct that could never be changed.
Han Jun stared at Yan Qingxiu for a moment and suddenly sighed. “I remember the first time I saw you, you were so hungry that you only had skin left on your bones. You are really capable now.”
Hearing Han Jun’s sigh, Yan Qingxiu couldn’t help thinking of his childhood and the scene of him meeting Yan Qingqiu.
In the cultivation world, the strong were respected. The general public still had to busy themselves with life, while Yan Qingxiu was just a child from an ordinary family. There was not a single cultivator in their entire county city.
In their eyes, cultivators were all little immortals with extraordinary capabilities.
Aosheng Continent was divided into 10 sections and occupied by more than 300 superpowers. Meanwhile, powerful cultivators were not controlled by any country. They were existences that stood at the top of Aosheng Continent.
Yan Qingxiu was an ordinary citizen of a declining country. During the war, Yan Qingxiu fled with his parents. Many unimaginable things happened along the way.
Yan Qingxiu had personally seen the scene of children changing to food, but his parents had always protected him very well and had never thought of sending him out to exchange for food.
Yan Qingxiu’s parents had starved to death. When they died, they didn’t have any meat on them. Those people who escaped from the wilderness didn’t even want to stop and look at them. There was only a group of crows circling on the branches of the tree that had been bitten off. They looked at them from afar, waiting for them to die.
Yan Qingxiu sat in the middle of his parents’ bodies. His eyes were listless as he looked at the fleeing people on the path. He was waiting for death. He hoped that after he died, the crow would peck at him less.
He was afraid of pain and would become riddled with holes.
Just as Yan Qingxiu’s consciousness was about to dissipate, Yan Qingqiu suddenly flew down from the sky on her sword and stopped in front of Yan Qingxiu.
That year, Yan Qingxiu was only eight years old. He looked up at the woman in front of him, his eyes dull and unfocused.
The mysterious and powerful woman was wearing a light blue outfit with her beautiful black hair tied up high. She carried a long sword on her back and used a pure white faceless mask to cover her facial features. No one could see her face.
Yan Qingxiu looked at him in a daze. He had not eaten or drunk for too long and was already in a daze. He had forgotten how to speak.
The woman stared at him for a long time. She seemed to think of something and softened. The woman squatted down in front of him, reached out, and handed him a yellow walnut cake.
“Eat it.”
This was what Qu Jingtian had done to Yan Qingqiu back then.
After Qu Jingtian died, Yan Qingqiu became Qu Jingtian.
Yan Qingxiu hesitated for a moment before happily taking the walnut cake and munching on it.
The woman stared at his embarrassed swallowing and felt compassion. “Forget it, just follow me.” She stood up and turned her back to Yan Qingxiu. “My name is Yan Qingqiu. Little thing, if you can still stand up, follow me.”
Yan Qingxiu didn’t even bother to eat the pancakes. He stood up shakily, boldly hugged the woman’s calf, and flew out of that lifeless country with her.
Yan Qingqiu gave him a name and life.
Yan Qingxiu called Yan Qingqiu master because he actually respected her like a god.
Everyone in the Aosheng Continent scolded Yan Qingqiu for being heartless and heartless. Only Yan Qingxiu knew that her master actually had a heart. She would stand at the top of the Great Ice Palace and look at the terpsichore flowers outside the glacier with a sad expression.
He would also fly to that country on his sword when he heard that a country was being persecuted by war and was about to be destroyed. He would bring back a group of young children and leave them at the foot of the mountain to be raised.
Yan Qingxiu couldn’t be disrespectful to such a master.
“Master, a thousand years after you left, I cultivated hard and finally became strong enough to tear open space to go to various worlds to search for your soul fragment. In this thousand years, it was very difficult for me to look for you. Master, after you fulfill all your wishes in this world, I will bring you back to the Aosheng Continent. Everyone in our Snow Region Kingdom is waiting for your return!”
At the mention of returning, Yan Qingxiu’s entire person became agitated. They couldn’t control their spiritual power and nearly let it out.
Han Jun sensed the change in the spiritual energy in the air and glanced at Yan Qingxiu calmly. Han Jun’s gaze was like a bucket of ice water on a hot fire. Yan Qingxiu immediately calmed down and didn’t dare to be agitated anymore.
After Yan Qingxiu regained his composure, Han Jun said, “I will try my best to spend this life with my parents. After they leave, we will return.”
Although Yan Qingxiu desperately wanted to go back, he had watched Han Jun interact with Han Zhan and his wife all these years and knew how much Han Jun cared about her parents.
“Okay.”
His master was born in a land of extreme evil. She had no parents and was an evil spirit. In her previous life, she couldn’t have any kinship. In this life, it was his master’s fortune to meet such open and outstanding parents like Han Zhan and Song Ci.
]Han Jun was slightly sleepy. She leaned against the back of the chair and narrowed her eyes for a while. When she woke up again, she heard the radio announcer remind her that they were about to reach the station. Han Jun got up and took down her luggage from the rack, then woke Han Miao and Han Zheng up. “We’re almost at the station. Get ready to alight.”
“Oh.”
Han Miao was still awake and her hair was in a mess. She ran to the washroom to get some water, hurriedly wiped her eyes, and tied her hair back.
After arriving at the station, the siblings brought Yan Qingxiu out of the station. The moment they came out, they saw a red sign held high in the crowd outside the station.
On the paper, there was a row of strong words written in black calligraphy.
Welcome Han family’s darling to Xining!
The words were written by Xu Yan and the sign was also raised by Xu Yan. There was only one sign at the exit of the entire waiting car. It was very striking. Han Jun and the rest saw that sign when they walked out of the passage.
Han Zheng looked at that sign with a complicated expression. He looked up and said to Han Jun, “Second Sister, Master Xu’s image is slightly different from what I imagined.”
Han Miao said, “It’s indeed too different.”
Even Yan Qingxiu looked like he was about to laugh.
Han Jun was the calmest. She said, “At least he’s very warm and welcoming.”
The four of them walked towards the red sign.
Han Jun and the rest were too easy to recognize. The three young men were handsome and beautiful. The adult lady beside them was also dressed very well. One look and one could tell that she was a young master and miss from a wealthy family.
Xu Yan and his wife recognized them at a glance. They had all seen Han Jun’s photo and knew that the taller girl among the twins was Han Jun. Zhang Huaqing smiled and waved at Han Jun. “Jun’er, we are here!”
“Uncle, Auntie.”
“Mr. Xu, Madam Xu.”
The few of them touched the noodles. Zhang Huaqing took out a big bag of beef jerky from his bag for them to eat. “Eat something first. The journey back to the mountain is long. We have to drive for three hours.”
“Okay.”
Xu Yan and Zhang Huaqing personally drove to fetch them. They each drove one. After receiving Han Jun, Zhang Huaqing invited Han Jun, Han Miao, and Yan Qingxiu to sit in her car. The boy, Han Zheng, and Xu Yan sat in the same car.
Over the past few decades, Gehrmu City had developed very quickly. The construction of the city district was clean and beautiful. It was the first time Han Miao and the rest came to the west to play. They couldn’t help but roll down the window to size up the scenery outside.
Passing by the General Building, Zhang Huaqing told Han Jun, “A few years ago, our Xu family had always lived on Mount Kunlun. Back then, our old master helped us choose the General Building.”
The Kunlun Xu Family was the most prestigious family in the metaphysics world. There were many talented people in the family and all of them were capable people. Every time the tycoons did something major, they had to think of a way to get the Xu Family to help them choose a good address and a good time.
Zhang Huaqing told Han Jun again, “The first time our Qian’er went out alone to receive work was 12 years ago. He was in charge of the exorcism ceremony at Bridge 5 of the Imperial Dragon Abyss.”
Every time the bridge landed in front of an official commuter, they would invite a capable Taoist master to exorcise it on the spot. This was because every river had existed for millions of years, and there were countless vengeful spirits and evil spirits among them. Surveillance could ensure one’s safety.
Han Miao was stunned. She asked Han Jun, “Junjun, is the Xu family really that godly?” As a person who had received the core values of socialism, Han Miao didn’t believe in ghosts and gods.
Han Jun sat up straight and said, “After New China is established, it is not allowed to become a demon.”
Han Miao :”…”
Zhang Huaqing looked at Han Miao with a faint smile and said, “Yes, there’s no such thing in New China.”
The few of them chatted and laughed. It was noon when they arrived at the Xu family residence at Kunlun Mountain. The Xu family had already prepared lunch and could start the banquet when Han Jun and the rest arrived.
Han Jun was concerned about Xu Qian’s situation. She hurriedly met the elders of the Xu Family and went to Xu Qian’s small house alone.
Xu Qian was already awake. Knowing that Han Jun and her siblings had already arrived, Xu Qian really wanted to personally go downstairs to welcome them. But his meridians were all messed up and his breathing was unstable. If he moved his body slightly, his limbs and bones would be in so much pain that it was as if someone had torn open his skin.
He could only lie in bed and wait for Han Jun and the rest to visit him after their meal.
But he had only waited for a moment when he heard his mother talking downstairs.
“Junjun, Qian’er is staying upstairs. Go and visit him. Oh yes, what do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you later. You came from afar, so I can’t let you starve.”
Zhang Huaqing was afraid of neglecting Han Jun and was worried that she would starve. She hated that she couldn’t immediately go into the kitchen to show off her culinary skills.
It was difficult to refuse such kindness. Han Jun said, “I want to eat beef noodles.”
“Alright, I’ll make it for you later.”
The two of them quickly stopped talking. Following that, footsteps sounded and Han Jun came up the stairs.
Han Jun stood at Xu Qian’s door. She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and entered. Inside the house, Xu Qian stared at the door with wide eyes. The moment Han Jun entered, she was locked by Xu Qian’s gaze.
Han Jun was tall and thin. Her beige down jacket made her look slightly thick, but her face was only the size of a palm and her calves were as slender as bird legs.
Han Jun’s fair face had been blown by the cold wind from the highlands for a few hours and was slightly red.
Xu Qian waved at her. “Come over a little.”
Han Jun saw that he could still speak and his face was very red. Only then did her heart calm down.
She walked to the bed and sized up Xu Qian’s appearance. She realized that his left eye had become clear and clean. There were no longer those creepy evil things inside.
Han Jun frowned slightly and couldn’t help asking, “Your eyes…”
“It’s nothing serious.” Xu Qian explained succinctly. “The evil spirit escaped.”
Hearing this, Han Jun’s eyes widened in shock. “How did it escape? How is your body now?”
Xu Qian shook his head. “Don’t worry. I just need to rest for a few days.” After comforting Han Jun, Xu Qian said gently again, “Little kid, I can’t move now. Can you squat down a little?”
Han Jun squatted obediently by the bed, laid her head on the bed, and rested her chin on Xu Qian’s right arm.
Han Jun thought Xu Qian would kiss her, but Xu Qian just raised his left hand and took out a special bottle of facial cream from a small compartment at the head of the bed. He handed the facial cream to Han Jun and said, “Put it on. It’s very windy in the mountains. Don’t ruin your beautiful, fair face.”
Han Jun was slightly disappointed. “I thought you would kiss me.”
When Xu Qian heard this, she was first surprised. Then, she smiled and said to Han Jun, “Save it first. When I recover, I will compensate you.”
Han Jun silently unscrewed the lid of the facial cream and wiped off some thick cream. That cream had a special fragrance. After she finished wiping, she heard Xu Qian say, “I’ve used this since I was young, so I look fair and tender.”
“Is it really that good?”
Ever since Han Jun arrived at Ge Ermu, she realized that most of the people here had dark red skin and rough skin. This was all due to the geographical environment. The ultraviolet rays were strong in the mountains, and the wind was strong and cold in the winter. No matter how good one’s skin was, it would become rough here.
But Xu Qian looked fair and tender, not like someone who grew up in Kunlun at all.
Han Jun silently stuffed the facial cream into her pocket and said, “When I go back, I will open a skincare company to specially develop and manufacture such facial cream. I will definitely be rich.” Businessmen were always thinking of ways to earn money.
“Alright, Boss Han.”
Seeing that Xu Qian could still joke with her, Han Jun was really relieved. She held Xu Qian’s hand and said to him, “Brother, get better quickly. I’m still waiting for you to bring me to climb the snow mountain.”
“Okay.”
After lunch, Yan Qingxiu arrived at Xu Qian’s house.
The moment Yan Qingxiu entered the house, his gaze was attracted by the Return to One Sword on the rack beside the wall. Yan Qingxiu stared at that sword and couldn’t help but look at Han Jun in surprise.
He didn’t believe that Han Jun didn’t know this sword.
Han Jun received Yan Qingxiu’s gaze and stood up from the side of the bed. Han Jun walked up to the Return to One Sword and took it,
Seeing this scene, Xu Qian immediately thought of Han Jun’s headache the last time she saw the Return to One Sword. He hurriedly reminded Han Jun, “Don’t touch it. Be careful of your headache.”
Han Jun turned and glanced at him. “It’s okay.” After comforting Xu Qian, Han Jun reached out and pulled out the Return to One Sword.
The moment the black sword appeared, the glow of the sun on Kunlun Mountain dimmed slightly. When Han Jun saw this scene, she couldn’t help thinking of the first time Yan Qingqiu met Qu Jingtian.
That day, when Qu Jingtian pulled out Gui Jian and was about to kill her, the thick fog in the land of extreme evil had been completely split open. The scorching sun entered the land of extreme evil and nearly pierced Yan Qingqiu’s eyes.
In this world, only Xu Qian and Han Jun could pull out the Return to One Sword.
Xu Qian laid on the bed and saw this scene. Her eyes welled up.
Of course the Return to One Sword recognized Han Jun. She was Ah Qiu!
It was Ah Qiu who had served the Return to One Sword for more than a hundred years!
Yan Qingxiu stood behind Han Jun. He saw that Han Jun had easily pulled out the Return to One Sword and couldn’t help asking softly, “Master, why can you pull out the Return to One Sword? You are the murderer who killed the Return to One Sword’s master. Why would it recognize you as its master?”
Everyone in the entire Aosheng Continent knew that Yan Qingqiu was the culprit who killed Qu Jingtian and dug out his heart. For so many years, Yan Qingqiu had never refuted this rumor, so even Yan Qingxiu thought that Yan Qingqiu really killed Qu Jingtian back then.
Yan Qingqiu didn’t explain anything, but a mocking expression appeared on her face. She suddenly asked Yan Qingxiu, “Did that Immeasurable Venerable die when you left the Aosheng Continent?” The Immeasurable Venerable was Qu Jingtian’s master.
Yan Qingxiu shook his head. “He has been in seclusion and hasn’t perished or ascended.”
“Very good!”
Since he didn’t die, she would let him die!
“Since you are here, help Xu Qian check his condition.”
“Yes.”
Yan Qingxiu walked up to Xu Qian’s bed and stared at her.
The other nine soul fragments of her master had never fallen in love. They were all destined to be lonely stars. Their parents had died when they were young and they were never married. Among them, six of their clones had naturally destructive personalities and nearly committed a disaster by destroying the planet they were on. But in the end, Yan Qingxiu successfully stopped them.
The remaining two clones were imprisoned in the youth prison because they had committed a heinous crime when they were young. Even until their deaths, they were not released. Thanks to those two, Yan Qingxiu even went to the prison to be a prison director just to give his master as comfortable a prison environment as possible.
Thinking about it carefully, Earth Star’s master Han Jun was the most normal human. She had parents, siblings, and lovers. Everything she experienced was no different from ordinary people. Precisely because of this, Yan Qingxiu was even more grateful to Han Zhan and his wife and loved Han Miao and her brother even more.
It was for no other reason than because they gave his master a normal family.
As a result, Yan Qingxiu was also very friendly to his master’s lover in this life, Xu Qian.
Yan Qingxiu saw that Xu Qiansheng had sharp brows and starry eyes and was a rare handsome man and was relieved. The young master of the Xu Family was naturally worthy of Han Jun in terms of status and ability. Now that he had passed in terms of looks, Yan Qingxiu was finally satisfied with Xu Qian.
Xu Qian asked Han Jun, “Jun’er, is this lady a doctor?”
Han Jun said, “He’s very capable. He’s a doctor and a researcher.”
With Han Jun’s words, Xu Qian knew her identity. “Could this lady be the Madam Dong you told me about?”
Han Jun nodded.
Yan Qingxiu could tell the condition in Xu Qian’s body with his naked eye. He said, “His meridians are messed up and his internal injuries are serious. He’s fine.”
Xu Qian couldn’t help feeling impressed when he saw that Yan Qingxiu could see his physical condition with just one look.
Yan Qingxiu took out a black pill from his Hundred Treasure Bag and stuffed it into Xu Qian’s mouth. He told him, “Young Master Xu, in the next ten hours, your meridians will be reconstructed. This process is very painful. You will have to suffer.”
With that, Yan Qingxiu nodded at Han Jun and signaled for her to go out to speak. The two of them arrived outside and before Han Jun could speak, Yan Qingxiu said, “Master, Xu Qian is Qu Jingtian’s reincarnation, right?”
Yan Qingqiu asked him, “How did you come to this conclusion?”
“The Return to One Sword is a spirit sword. Back then, after Qu Jingtian perished, the Return to One Sword sealed his spiritual consciousness and disappeared with Qu Jingtian. The experts of the present world unanimously believed that Qu Jingtian’s soul had dispersed, and the Return to One Sword also disappeared.”
“But the Return to One Sword has now appeared on Earth and only recognizes Xu Qian as his master. Meanwhile, Xu Qian also has 13 traces of soul reincarnation on him. Master, Xu Qian is most likely Qu Jingtian’s 13th soul reincarnation. After this life ends, Qu Jingtian’s soul will dissipate.”
“By that time, Qu Jingtian will never be revived.”
Hearing this, Han Jun stood rooted to the ground as if she had suffered a heavy blow. “Is this his 13th reincarnation?” As the supreme elite of the Aosheng Continent’s soul force was too strong, even after death, he still had 13 chances to reincarnate.
After the thirteenth reincarnation, one’s soul would dissipate and there would be no possibility of revival.
Before Qu Jingtian died, he had personally dug out his heart to help Yan Qingqiu reconstruct her spirit body. Thanks to Qu Jingtian’s help, Yan Qingqiu only used 200 years to advance to the number one expert in the Proud Victory Continent!
Without the heart that was the core of her soul, if Qu Jingtian was unable to return to the Aosheng Continent in this life, his soul would definitely dissipate!
That was an outcome that Han Jun couldn’t accept no matter what!
…
Han Jun returned to her room and sat by the bed staring at Xu Qian. She had already confirmed that Xu Qian was Qu Jingtian’s reincarnation and looked at her with much love and admiration.
Xu Qian also knew Han Jun’s identity.
As a result, when the two of them sized each other up, their eyes were very deep.
After a while, the two of them ended their silence and spoke.
Han Jun said, “Qu Jingtian is you.”
Xu Qian asked, “Are you Ah Qiu?”
The two of them spoke together and looked at each other in surprise.
A moment later, Han Jun bent down first and gently hugged Xu Qian’s right arm. She leaned her cheek against Xu Qian’s arm and murmured, “Qu Jingtian, I finally found you.”
Xu Qian stared at the little head on his shoulder. He raised his hand with difficulty and stroked Han Jun’s head before sighing. “Little monster, I said that we will meet again.”
Han Jun nearly cried.
“Qu Jingtian, I will bring you home.”
Xu Qian regained his memory and naturally knew that this was his last life. He didn’t say anything, but the strength he used to stroke Han Jun’s head became even gentler.
Very quickly, the medicine worked on Xu Qian. It was as if there was a small sun hidden in Xu Qian’s body. All the muscles, blood, and bones in his body became hot. He couldn’t quite bear this pain and didn’t want Han Jun to see him in such a sorry state, so he said to Han Jun, “Little kid, go out first. I want to sleep for a while.”
How could Han Jun not know that he was trying to be brave?
He had always been stubborn and refused to frown in front of her even when she was bleeding profusely. Yan Qingqiu had always thought that Qu Jingtian was not afraid of pain, but one time when he was hunting demon hunters, Qu Jingtian accidentally injured his toes and couldn’t help standing there crying silently.
Yan Qingqiu accidentally saw it and realized that Heartless Sword Lord was also afraid of pain.
Qu Jingtian, who was so afraid of pain, had cut his heart to save her.
“Have a good rest.” Han Jun got up and left his room. Once she left, Xu Qian immediately grabbed the bedsheets tightly. It was so painful that the veins on his neck and forehead were exposed. It was very scary.
Xu Qian spent the entire afternoon and night in pain.
In the latter half of the night, Xu Qian’s pain weakened. His meridians were completely opened and his internal injuries were all healed. He sat up, took off the sweaty bedsheets, took a shower, changed into a clean set of clothes, and opened the door to leave.
On the stool outside the door sat a young girl dozing off with her chin resting on her hand. When Xu Qian was tortured in the house, she was also outside the house blowing the cold wind and never took a step away.
Han Jun’s head was leaning against the door, so the moment the door opened, she fell into the room.
Xu Qian hurriedly squatted down and hugged Han Jun’s shoulder.
Han Jun opened her cold eyes and saw Xu Qian’s face under the moonlight. She blinked and said lovingly, “Qu Jingtian, carry me to bed.”
Xu Qian bent down, carried Han Jun, and placed her on the clean bedsheets.
Xu Qian wanted to drink some water and was about to get up when Han Jun grabbed his index finger. This was Han Jun’s subconscious action.
Xu Qian couldn’t help thinking of the time when he had just picked up the little monster. At that time, the little monster was worried that Qu Jingtian would disappear after waking up, so it had to hold his finger to be at ease when sleeping.
Xu Qian held back the dryness in his mouth and sat by the bed for a few hours.
