Chapter 50: The Strange Voice in My Heart
In the kitchen, two spirit fish swam leisurely in the fish tank.
Suddenly, a hand reaching into the water startled them into scattering, but the fish tank was only so big, and one of them was quickly caught.
A layer of mucus clung to the golden scales, making it feel a bit slippery to the touch.
But Chi Jiuyu still firmly grasped it and pulled it out.
The spirit fish struggled continuously with considerable strength. While being scooped out, its tail accidentally slapped the fish tank, causing the tank, which was more than half full, to slide outwards a bit.
"Good thing this tank of mine is specially made."
Otherwise, that hit might have smashed it.
Just like that, she held the continuously struggling spirit fish in one hand and gently slapped the fish's head with the other.
Slap!
A trace of magic power struck in, instantly dispersing the vitality of the entire fish. Then, she skillfully scaled it, opened it up, removed the internal organs, cut off the head, and placed the processed fish body aside.
Chi Jiuyu took out her phone, opened the camera function, and used the method of object control to make it float behind her.
After doing all this, she walked over to the fish body and slapped it hard.
A burst of magic power vibrated the entire fish into the air. Chi Jiuyu stared intently, and the kitchen knife in her hand swung out!
Swish!
Dozens of tiny Sword Qi crisscrossed, evenly slicing the fish body that had risen into the air. With her other hand, she took a ceramic plate, and the fish slices, thin as cicada wings, fell neatly into it.
Chi Jiuyu happily put down the kitchen knife and looked at the neatly arranged fish slices on the plate.
I'm really amazing!
Actually, one slice was a bit crooked when it fell just now, but she quietly adjusted it.
After admiring it for a while, she waved her hand to summon her phone, cut out some unimportant parts from the video she just filmed, and then sent it to 'My Most Respected Master'.
Sword Sect Future Sect Leader: "How is it, Master? Shishu and I are preparing to eat fish today."
My Most Respected Master: "/hangingself"
My Most Respected Master: "/leatherwhipyellowduck"
Tch~
Chi Jiuyu tossed her phone into her storage ring, then carried the fish slices out of the kitchen.
"Shishu! Look how beautifully I sliced these fish slices!"
Xu Xing was currently sitting on the sofa, holding his phone in one hand, from which a familiar sweet voice was coming.
"I've arrived at the hotel~ The environment here is really good, and the hotel is also equipped with spirit gathering Formations, making the spiritual energy abundant. When everyone comes to Xuanjian City to travel, you can also choose to stay at this hotel."
You must have been paid to praise it like this.
No, that's not what's important.
"Shishu, you're watching Hehuan Sect's live stream!"
Surely this time you're not just curious about Hehuan Sect's cultivation methods, right?
Xu Xing looked up at her: "Yeah, what about it?"
What about it...?
Chi Jiuyu was momentarily speechless. Indeed, it seemed there was no rule stating that Shishu couldn't watch Hehuan Sect's live stream.
Emm...
She put down the fish slices and turned back into the kitchen.
Xu Xing looked back at his phone. On the screen was Jiang Yujiu, the Charm Cultivators from Hehuan Sect he had met before. At this moment, she was no longer wearing that palace-style dress, but had changed into a white tight-fitting tank top and denim shorts. She was kneeling on the bed, her long legs dazzlingly white, and a stream of bullet comments continuously floated by.
【Xuanjian City Exploration of Ancient Cultivator Emerging from Seclusion】
It seems the Disciples from other Immortal Sects shouldn't be far either.
Xu Xing closed the live stream and put down his phone.
Inside the kitchen, Chi Jiuyu took out the phone she had just tossed into her storage ring.
Sword Sect Future Sect Leader: "Master, Shishu is watching Hehuan Sect's live stream!"
This time, the other side didn't reply immediately like before.
Hmm?
Is the network stuck?
After quite a while.
My Most Respected Master: "Senior Brother is not that kind of person."
Chi Jiuyu raised an eyebrow.
I'm your Disciple, yet you don't believe me!
............
At the hospital, Xiao Fan walked into a ward.
Lying on the bed by the window was a tall, very muscular man. His eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was weak.
A middle-aged looking woman was also sitting beside him.
"Mom."
The middle-aged woman paused, then turned back and saw Xiao Fan, a smile appearing on her face: "It's Xiao Fan."
"How is Brother?" Xiao Fan walked forward and stood at the foot of the bed, "Is he any better?"
"Yeah, I went and asked today. He could wake up any day now."
Xiao Fan's mother finished speaking, but saw her son standing still, seemingly lost in thought about something.
She was a bit worried: "Are you okay, Xiao Fan? Do you want to get checked?"
Xiao Fan was startled, suddenly snapped back to reality, and then forced a smile: "Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine."
"Why don't you go back and rest first? Your Brother's condition has stabilized, you don't need to worry."
Xiao Fan didn't refuse, nodding: "Okay, Mom, I'll head back then."
After saying that, he turned directly and quickened his steps, leaving the ward.
Xiao Fan's mother looked at her son's retreating back, feeling increasingly guilty in her heart.
'Xiao Fan really sacrificed too much this time.'
She didn't think too much, only assuming her son was in a bad mood because of the Pseudo Foundation Establishment matter.
And Xiao Fan, after walking out of the ward, lowered his head, his eyes carrying a trace of panic.
A terrifying voice, which only he could hear, ethereal and hazy, seemingly real yet illusory, echoed in his ears.
No!
Or rather, it sounded from deep within his heart.
'Why sacrifice your own future to help Brother?'
'Did they really not know you bought the Broken Barrier Spirit Liquid?'
'No, it's all lies!'
'They knew from the beginning, but they wanted to save the more outstanding son, and you were just the one who was abandoned.'
'This is the baseness of human nature. Those spirit coins were deliberately shown to you by them. Compared to you, they wanted to save your Brother more.'
'You were abandoned!'
'You were abandoned!'
'You were abandoned!'
As the voice got faster and faster, Xiao Fan became increasingly irritable.
"Hey! Watch where you're walking! This is a hospital."
"Shut up!" Xiao Fan turned back and roared.
The voice was very loud, so everyone in the hallway looked over.
The one who reminded Xiao Fan was a patient wearing a hospital gown, with a pale face and a thin, withered body. Being roared at like that, he felt a bit embarrassed.
However, before he could react, Xiao Fan suddenly bowed deeply.
"I'm really sorry, I'm in a bit of a bad mood, that wasn't intentional just now, I'm truly sorry!"
His apology came so quickly that it left the patient somewhat flustered.
"No, it's fine. Just be more careful next time."
After bowing again, Xiao Fan turned and quickly walked towards the outside of the hospital.
Seeing this, the onlookers also dispersed, having thought there would be some entertainment to watch.
Coming outside, Xiao Fan looked back, feeling lingering fear.
Huff, huff...
Only after taking several deep breaths did he feel a bit better.
What's wrong with me?
He pressed one hand to his chest.
What was that voice about?
After a long while, Xiao Fan looked up.
He saw the endless flow of people, and among the coming and going crowd, a figure standing quietly was particularly eye-catching, yet the people around him seemed completely unaware of him.
He was startled: "Senior Huo?"
"An Opportunity was before you, yet you didn't seize it."
Senior Huo's voice was calm. He stepped towards him, and with every step he took, Xiao Fan felt the distance between himself and his surroundings continuously widen.
By the time he came closer, there was nothing around him. Looking out, there was only a vast expanse of white.
A completely incomprehensible method.
Just how high is Senior Huo's Realm?
"Only this once."
Senior Huo raised his hand and pointed, and a storage ring landed in Xiao Fan's hand.
Opportunity?
Xiao Fan quickly reacted.
Could Senior Huo be talking about the cup he picked up before?
Was that really a treasure then?
Senior Huo looked at Xiao Fan, feeling a rare trace of speechlessness.
He had given opportunities to many people before, but he had never encountered anyone like Xiao Fan, who gave up a great Opportunity that was about to be obtained just for two spirit coins.
