Chapter 90 Xiao Hui: Do you dislike me?

It took Xu Luo a while to recover from the shock Little Grey brought him.

At this moment, he had already come to terms with it.

[I was too fixated on having Little Grey grow up and then help me, so I took it to hunt demonic beasts, to the Demon Cloud Mountain Range to suppress bandits, and experienced many battles and fights.]

[Little did I know, that might not be the life Little Grey wanted. Perhaps the leisurely life of eating and drinking with Sixth Uncle is what Little Grey likes.]

[Since that's the case, I might as well let go and let it live a happier life with Sixth Uncle.]

[Anyway, as someone who has been reborn, I have many options if I want to become stronger. It could be a powerful Cultivation Technique, a treasure from a certain ruin, or even the supreme treasure that was reborn with me and is floating in my Dantian.]

[There's no need to insist on the hope that one's son will become a dragon and have a grown-up Little Grey help me.]

Xu Luo looked at the fat Little Grey in front of him, thinking this.

This was like a wealthy couple raising their child, they could choose an elite education that is tiring and difficult for the child, hoping their son will become a dragon.

Or they could choose a happy education where the child grows up easily. Anyway, their Family is rich, so even if the child doesn't become successful in the future, their privileged Family background can ensure he avoids the hardships of life.

"Whew…"

After completely coming to terms with it, Xu Luo let out a long breath, stood up, and prepared to mix the Soul Nurturing Liquid.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu Qingzhou lifted his leg and gave a kick to Little Grey's round belly. Its plump belly rippled like a stone dropping into a calm lake.

"Get up! Look how fat you've become! In a few days, you'll go with Xiao Luo to the Demon Cloud Mountain Range again to suppress bandits."

Little Grey looked at Xu Qingzhou with a wronged expression.

Uncle! You're my own uncle! Are you despising me now?

Besides, you're the one who made my belly big! You were smiling and laughing when you patted my belly for fun when you were idle, but now you're complaining that I'm fat!!

How can you do this?

Xu Luo quickly said, "Actually, it's not necessary. Perhaps Little Grey prefers the life it has now."

Xu Qingzhou, however, shook his head, cupped Little Grey's chubby cheeks with both hands, and looked it in the eye.

"Do you want to go to the Demon Cloud Mountain Range to suppress bandits?"

Little Grey subconsciously shook its head, but when it saw Xu Qingzhou's face turn cold, it immediately nodded vigorously like pounding garlic.

Xu Qingzhou spread his hands and said, "See, this is its true thought."

Xu Luo: "……"

[I just comforted myself for half a day, it was completely unnecessary!!]

It wasn't that Xu Qingzhou heard Xu Luo's thoughts and then forced Little Grey to work hard.

Rather, he simply believed that only he in the Xu Family was qualified to slack off; everyone else, including pets, had to work hard.

This is a realistic world where strength is respected.

If you don't work hard and become stronger, how can I slack off with peace of mind? No, how can you protect yourselves, and how can you protect the Family?

So Xu Qingzhou only allowed Little Grey to rest with him for a few months occasionally, but it couldn't keep playing like this forever.

……

Before long, Xu Muge came over.

Xu Luo directly asked straightforwardly, "How is your cultivation of that secret technique I gave you progressing?"

Xu Muge patted his chest nonchalantly.

"Aren't you at ease with the way I do things? When I say two or three months, it means two or three months. I've already cultivated it to the highest Realm."

[This secret technique was indeed quite difficult later on. It took four months, which can also be considered more than three months, it's just that the 'more' part is a bit much.]

Xu Luo couldn't hear his thoughts, so he naturally didn't know the situation. "Then get ready. We'll start once I've finished mixing the Soul Nurturing Liquid."

"Okay."

The two of them simultaneously began to get busy.

Although Shangguan Zhuo on the side looked as calm as ever, the hand behind his back was trembling slightly.

Only he himself knew how many days and nights he had waited for this day, and how many times he had been disappointed or even despaired.

He constantly prayed in his heart, praying that this time would be successful, allowing him to see his wife alive.

At this moment, Xu Qingzhou had already turned the dining table into a tea table and poured a cup of spiritual tea.

"Senior Shangguan, please sit down and have a cup of tea."

Shangguan Zhuo subconsciously replied, "No need, I don't drink alcohol."

Huh?

Xu Qingzhou looked up at him. Although he couldn't see his nervousness, he could hear it.

After about an hour, Xu Luo walked out of the room holding the mixed Soul Nurturing Liquid.

"We can begin."

"Okay!"

Shangguan Zhuo took out the ice coffin containing his wife Lan Ying, and then looked at Xu Luo.

Xu Luo nodded at him affirmatively.

Shangguan Zhuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then quickly opened them. He casually set up layers of Formations in the courtyard. This matter was extremely important and could not be disturbed.

Then Shangguan Zhuo opened the ice coffin and conjured several spell seals that flew into the coffin.

"Swish swish!"

In an instant, the ice on Lan Ying's body melted, finally turning into a white mist and disappearing.

"Mu Ge!"

Xu Luo called out softly. Xu Muge stepped forward and used the secret technique to begin repairing Lan Ying's cracked inner core.

Shangguan Zhuo gently helped Lan Ying up. Xu Luo poured the mixed Soul Nurturing Liquid into the palm of his hand, then placed his palm on Lan Ying's forehead.

Lan Ying's soul was truly too weak. Ordinary soul-nurturing methods couldn't be used, and heavenly materials and earthly treasures for repairing the soul couldn't be taken directly.

That's why Xu Luo mixed the special Soul Nurturing Liquid and then used the unique method he mastered to help Lan Ying's weak soul absorb the medicinal power little by little.

It wasn't complicated, but the entire process was extremely long, and one couldn't rush; it had to be done slowly.

Just like this, a full day and night passed. Xu Luo and Xu Muge never stopped.

By this time, all the Soul Nurturing Liquid mixed by Xu Luo had been used up. Xu Muge, who had been continuously using the secret technique, also consumed a lot of energy, and his face was visibly turning pale.

During this day and night, Shangguan Zhuo's powerful Divine Sense could clearly perceive that his wife's originally weak aura had been slowly getting stronger.

Until the Soul Nurturing Liquid was used up, Xu Luo stopped.

"Although her soul is still very weak now, there are no major problems. She can withstand most soul-nurturing elixirs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

"After this, she will need to recuperate for a period of time before she can fully wake up."

"Mm!" Shangguan Zhuo nodded heavily. His throat was so hoarse that no sound came out.

After another two hours, Xu Muge finally stopped. He was tottering and almost fell. After all, using the secret technique continuously for such a long time was indeed a bit too much for him.

"Her inner core has been repaired."

It won't be long before Lan Ying wakes up and recovers completely.

Shangguan Zhuo looked at the two of them with a grateful expression and spoke in a solemn tone.

"The life-saving grace you two young friends have shown towards my wife, Shangguan Zhuo will remember for a lifetime. I will stay in the Xu Family for a hundred years, at your disposal."

Xu Luo and Xu Muge nodded with satisfaction.

Being able to find such a powerful helper for the Xu Family, all the effort was worth it.

What's more, neither of them had paid too much.

Xu Muge spent four months cultivating a secret technique, and Xu Luo spent several months taking Shangguan Zhuo to find three types of spiritual herbs.

This small amount of effort is not worth mentioning compared to the reward.
