Chapter 230 The Liu Family
In Xiao Tiandao's eyes, Xiao Jiu looked like a little fox that had just come of age. It had lived for so many years longer than the little fox, so it could be considered the little fox's elder. Just like humans raising kittens and puppies, it indulged the little fox a lot.
Little Heaven gave in and let the little fox hold him in her arms and rub him all over. While interacting with the little fox, he passed on to her the method of sending the garrulous snake home.
No wonder the snake possessed the younger generation of this family; it turns out the Liu family has some connection with snakes.
The Five Immortals of Northeast China are Gray, Yellow, Hu, White, and Willow. So, foxes are also among these five immortals.
Their Liu family ancestors once had a spirit named Liu Xian repaying a debt of gratitude. Liu Xian is also known as the snake spirit. Their Liu family ancestors once saved a white snake, and later the white snake repaid the debt of gratitude and became their family's guardian spirit.
However, those ancestors were countless generations ago. Now that the country has been established, animals are not allowed to become spirits, and things like guardian spirits are outdated. Once the older generation passes away, the younger generation no longer believes in these things.
As time went on, almost no one remembered this incident anymore. It's true that this snake had a special connection with the Liu family.
This snake was a descendant of the guardian spirit of the Liu family. After becoming an immortal, the snake left this small world, and the spiritual power of this small world began to decline. In the end, it became the world where animals are not allowed to become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Every world has its own development. The development of this world is the decline of spiritual power and the development of technology. The technology of this world will only become more and more powerful in the future. Although it is already quite good now, its future will still be more and more powerful.
This world does not allow these things to exist, so they left this world and went to other worlds that are suitable for them to develop and live in. Liu Mubai should not have succeeded under the tribulation of lightning.
Besides being able to transform into human form, its tribulation lightning can also transform into a dragon. A snake that doesn't want to become a dragon is not a good snake. Its tribulation lightning is the tribulation it undergoes when it transforms into a dragon.
It's a pity he didn't succeed in the end. But now it seems that it wasn't a complete failure. It's just that his opportunity was the same as Xiao Jiu's. In another world, after Xiao Jiu sent him back this time, he should be able to transform into a dragon.
The reason he has been unable to return is that his ancestors were worshipped by the Liu family to repay a debt of gratitude. Later, due to the development of the world, they could no longer stay in this world, so they left.
When they left, the Liu family in this world still worshipped them. They were supposed to protect the prosperity of the Liu family. However, because this world could not allow their existence, if they did not leave, they would lose their intelligence and become ordinary snakes.
This is something they cannot allow. They have cultivated themselves for so long, hoping to one day successfully transform into dragons. They are unwilling to let all their efforts be in vain.
There was nothing they could do but betray their promise and leave this world. Later, as the Liu family developed with the times, it did not continue to prosper. The reason why Liu Mubai was so unlucky was because of the betrayal of his ancestors.
The Liu family's good fortune came because of his misfortune, and it was indeed because of him that they received a kind of reward. Sending him back would be easy; even if she didn't send him back now, he could go back on his own in a few years.
He came into this world to repay the debts owed by his ancestors. The son is responsible for the debts of his father. Although he is a grandson and a great-grandson, it does not prevent him from repaying the debts.
Because of his arrival, the Liu family has risen to prominence. It can't compare to before, but it's not bad either. At least the younger generation can be guaranteed a life of comfort and security.
His repayment can end now, but there's still something Xiao Jiu needs to do: separate the snake's soul from the body's soul, because when the snake came, the body's soul was still small.
They've been together for so many years that they've become somewhat indistinguishable from one another, which has led to the soul of this body becoming increasingly intertwined with the soul of the snake.
This is not a good sign. The consequences are either that the snake stays in this world forever until the body dies naturally, or it leaves directly after the body dies. But the consequence of this is that it will be burdened with the loss of a human life, and its tribulation to transform into a dragon will not succeed.
Now that Xiao Jiu has intervened, his departure will not have any impact on this body. When the owner of this body wakes up, he will remember what happened before, but he will not remember them.
After that, his body will no longer encounter any bad luck, and the Liu family will be rich for at least three generations, which can be considered as settling the karma from that time.
"Doesn't this require my spiritual power? Look, I only have a tiny bit of spiritual power in my body, and you have the nerve to exploit me?" Xiao Jiu looked heartbroken after seeing the method to help that stinky snake go home. She only had a little bit of spiritual power, and now it was being coveted.
Last time, I used that little bit of spiritual power to save that old man. Now, I have to send this damn snake home with that little bit of spiritual power. Could it be that this little Heavenly Dao is eyeing my little bit of spiritual power? Is it trying to find something to make me squander it all so that I can save up that little bit of spiritual power?
"I... I'm not in a position to get involved, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you, would I?" Little Heavenly Dao was a little guilty, but of course it couldn't tell the little fox that it was afraid of being called to its parents' house, which was why it wasn't helping. It had its pride, after all.
"Really?" Xiao Jiu squinted, looking at Xiao Tiandao with a disbelieving gaze. "Of course it's true. Would I, the dignified Lord Tiandao, lie to you?" Xiao Tiandao avoided the little fox's gaze. As long as he didn't look at her, he wouldn't know she was looking at him.
They're quite good at deceiving themselves and burying their heads in the sand.
Xiao Jiu didn't continue the topic. What else could she say? It wouldn't admit it, and she couldn't force a confession out of it. If they really fought, she wouldn't be able to beat it. Don't underestimate it just because it's small and soft. It is the Way of Heaven. Even though it's young, it is still the Way of Heaven.
Daring to defy the Heavenly Dao is truly going against the Heavenly Gang. It's just helping out, it's just spiritual energy, I'll have more of that. Xiao Jiu tried to find some humor in her predicament, comforting herself. Thinking about it this way, she felt much better and wasn't so heartbroken about her little bit of spiritual energy.
I used to not take spiritual energy seriously when I had plenty of it. But now, after ten or fifteen days, I only have one or two drops of spiritual energy. I realize how precious spiritual energy is, and I feel so bad using even a little bit of it.
Seeing the little fox's distressed expression, Xiao Tiandao realized he might have gone too far and wondered if he should make it up to the little fox.
Just as it was about to speak, it saw that the little fox seemed to have comforted itself and was showing a bright smile. It breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it didn't need to make amends. It was also quite reluctant to part with its precious little one.
