Chapter 346 Third Peak!
"Patriarch Chen..."
Early in the morning, Shi Qizhong and Ji Bu came to bid farewell to Chen Zhixing.
Chen Zhixing naturally did not try to hinder them much. After a brief inquiry, he let Shi Qizhong and Ji Bu go and sent someone to the Treasure Pavilion to give them some divine pills that could revive the dead and quickly replenish Nirvana power.
This made Shi Qizhong and Ji Bu once again marvel at the wealth of the Ziwei Chen Family and the grand vision of Chen Zhixing.
You must know, the higher the realm, the fewer divine pills can produce effects, and such divine pills that can quickly replenish Nirvana power even in the Nirvana Realm are so rare in the outside world that they're priceless and hard to find!
Afterward.
When Shi Qizhong and Ji Bu saw the lively Little One Shi Huang, they were even more surprised.
They hadn't expected that in just one night, the Little One Shi Huang, who was previously on the verge of death, was now brimming with vitality, with no danger of dying at all!
"Little One, from now on he will be your master. Once a teacher, always like a father! You must never show disrespect to your master; such a life-saving grace must be deeply remembered in your heart! Do you understand?"
The Great Demon King Shi Qizhong said seriously, which was rare for him.
Ji Bu's eyes also flashed with a touch of emotion, warmly advising, "Little One, after we leave, you must listen well to your master, and don't be mischievous and make your master unhappy, understood?"
"Yiya yiya!"
Little One nodded firmly.
"Fellow Taoist Chen, words cannot express our gratitude. In the future, should you have any need, we will surely repay you with our lives! Little One... we leave him in your care!"
Shi Qizhong and Ji Bu bowed deeply to Chen Zhixing.
"Don't worry. This child... I like him very much," Chen Zhixing glanced at the Little One in his arms, smiling slightly.
Then.
Without further hesitation, Shi Qizhong and Ji Bu strode away.
After they left.
The already spacious Patriarch's Hall grew even quieter.
"Master..."
Little One Shi Huang's eyes were misty, and his emotions appeared somewhat low.
This was the first time he truly left his family's embrace, and this made him inexplicably feel a bit lonely.
After all, he was still a child.
"Huang, if you want to become stronger, you must learn to adapt to loneliness. Remember, behind glory, there is always an imprint of loneliness."
Chen Zhixing reached out and gently ruffled Little One's hair, then stood and said with a smile:
"Of course, an interesting childhood is even more important."
"Come on, Master will take you to Master's true home!"
With that said.
Chen Zhixing picked up Little One with one hand, took a step, and arrived at the Third Peak.
For Little One's arrival, the entire Third Peak was extremely joyful.
Upon learning that Chen Zhixing had taken Little One as his disciple and hearing about Little One's experiences, everyone felt sympathetic and regarded Little One as family.
"Wow, what an adorable Little One, this face is so round and chubby!"
Biluo reached out to pinch Little One's chubby cheeks, making Little One grimace.
"Come, let this old man teach you sword technique. Learn my sword technique, and you can go chop that Shi Li in the future!"
Dugu Ni tried to drag Little One out to practice swordsmanship. Perhaps it was because of his age, Dugu Ni had a great fondness for pure and innocent Little One.
"What sword technique? If you're going to learn, then learn my body technique and stealing skill! Hehe, Little One, from now on we will be the great thief duo. I'll take you to rob the ancestral tombs of that despicable Yuu Family!"
"Stealing skill and body technique? Do you want to train Shi Huang to become like you, a petty thief?" Dugu Ni sneered at Hua Linghou, mocking coldly.
"What petty thief? It's clearly righteous theft!" Hua Linghou fumed with rage.
"Little One, learn sword technique with me!"
"Don't listen to him, learn stealing skill and body technique with me!"
"Hee hee, Little One, how about I make you braised lion's head?"
"Little One... I... I can take you to fly kites."
"Hahaha, I'm Brother Shanyang, and I can show you thunder and lightning when Sister Nanzhu takes you kite flying!"
Little One was surrounded by faces full of enthusiastic smiles, making him a bit dizzy but also warm as a newcomer.
"Yiya yiya!"
Little One nodded vigorously, his eyes curving like crescent moons with his smile.
His glossy black eyes darted around and suddenly noticed a thin, pale-looking boy sitting alone to the side.
He walked over cautiously, tugged at the thin boy's sleeve, and with a babyish voice greeted:
"Big brother, I'm Little One Shi Huang, hello!"
Chen Buqi, who had long noticed Little One but didn't know how to interact, stiffened all over.
Years had passed, and the boy with the love for lamb, the cursed seal youth, had now entered the True Self Realm, becoming the strongest new talent in the Ziwei Dark Division!
Probably it won't be long before he takes over the Netherworld Elders' position, becoming the new sect leader of the Dark Division.
Yet.
Over the years, although his strength had grown, his temperament had become more isolated and quiet.
While Chen Chou'er was around, he could still exchange a few words with Chen Chou'er.
But with Chen Chou'er vanishing in the Immortal Suspended Mountain, there seemed to be no one left to converse with, spending most of the time in a daze on a piece of blue stone on the Third Peak.
While they were gathering, he was in a daze.
While they were frolicking, he was in a daze.
While they talked about him, he was still in a daze.
It wasn't that Chen Buqi didn't want to communicate, or that he looked down on them.
But every time Chen Buqi tried to speak, they'd stare at him with wide eyes, his face would flush, and he'd be awkwardly at a loss for words, so he'd just sigh deeply and quietly walk to the side.
Therefore.
When Little One arrived, he seemed indifferent, quietly in a daze, but in reality, was tense, secretly paying attention to Little One, afraid that Little One would come to talk to him.
Because he really didn't know how to start a conversation.
"Hello..."
Chen Buqi frowned, squeezing out a terse sentence with a blank face.
"Big brother, why are you sitting alone over here?" Shi Huang asked naively, looking at Chen Buqi with an innocent face.
Chen Buqi: "..."
"Big brother, why do you look so serious?"
Chen Buqi: "..."
"Big brother, don't you like to smile?"
Chen Buqi: "..."
"Big brother, you..."
Shi Huang was a chatterbox, and even though Chen Buqi was silent, he asked question after question as if there were a hundred thousand whys.
Finally.
Chen Buqi couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Stop talking to me, I'm ruthless when I kill!" Chen Buqi made the fiercest face, growling fiercely.
"Big brother, then aren't your eyes dry?" Shi Huang looked at Chen Buqi with earnest simplicity.
"I..."
Chen Buqi couldn't take it any longer, his face flushed as he began to walk away, faster and faster until he fled altogether.
This Little One, too terrifying!
"Hahaha!"
In the distance, faces brimming with warmth, Shi Qizhong and the others laughed loudly.
Chen Zhixing watched the scene quietly, a knowing smile forming on his lips.
"This child really gives life to Third Peak..."
"I just don't know where Father and Mother are now... the Dark Division has searched for them for so many years without finding a trace..."
Little One's eyes turned bright as he watched Chen Zhixing with curiosity. "Master, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find someone to be your senior brother," Chen Zhixing replied without turning back as his laughter echoed behind him.
Senior Brother?"
Little One's round eyes sparkled with interest.
Then, he cast a glance at the receding figure of Chen Zhixing, before clenching his little fists and murmuring determinedly:
"I'll listen to everything Master says, practice hard, and become strong to protect this family!"
