Chapter 319 Xuanwu Family
It was almost enough, so Qiqi and the others stopped fishing. She ran over to check on the fish she was grilling, which was a little burnt. Zhou Jingze quickly turned the fish over, and it was cooked in a moment. Zhou Jingze scraped off the burnt part and handed the good part to Qiqi to eat while he continued grilling it.
After Qiqi finished eating this one, she also joined the roasting. After the roasted one was done, she handed it to Zhou Jingze. He took it and started eating without hesitation, "Qiqi, it's so delicious, very fresh."
The children in the space and Auntie Long were all very satisfied with their meal. It was so delicious that the happy little dragons were circling the grill! They had never tasted such delicious grilled fish before. Even Auntie Long couldn't stop praising Kong Ling's cooking skills.
The children, all well fed and satisfied, returned to their cultivation. Kong Ling also moved the fish Qiqi and the others had caught back into the grassland's lake. Kong Ling's thoroughness and experience impressed even Qiqi. She had forgotten how many thousands or tens of thousands of years Kong Ling had lived.
Qiqi and the others were also quite satisfied with their meal. They were now looking at the lake. She wondered if the old man had built this lake for the animals to drink. It shouldn't be! What was in the lake? She quietly looked at the lake, using her spiritual sense to explore what was at the bottom.
As she explored the lake inch by inch, she saw many small fish at the bottom of the lake, all kinds of colorful fish, just like the underwater world. There was also a lot of grass, which swayed gracefully at the bottom of the lake, and the colorful fish reflected it beautifully. She was fascinated by it.
She had never seen such a beautiful lake bottom before. Looking at it with delight, she spotted a small turtle swimming happily at the bottom. It looked so much like Xiaowu's true form from her dimension. Qiqi watched it, wondering where it was heading. Her consciousness followed it, circling back and forth across the lakebed several times. Suddenly, the little turtle swam to a different spot and disappeared.
Qiqi was stunned. Her spiritual sense scanned the surroundings, but couldn't find it. She searched quickly, but still couldn't find it. There was a barrier at the bottom of the lake. Was there any connection between the little turtle and Xiaowu in the space?
Qiqi told Zhou Jingze everything she had seen. Zhou Jingze also probed his spiritual consciousness into the bottom of the lake and saw the scene at the bottom of the lake. He was not attracted by the beautiful fish at the bottom of the lake. He was searching for the little turtle. He did not see it either.
"Qiqi, let's go to the bottom of the lake to explore. Don't be anxious. Call Xiaowu out, and let's go together to see if Xiaowu is familiar with this place?" Zhou Jingze said.
Qiqi wasn't afraid of Xiaowu being exposed, so she quickly moved Xiaowu out of the space and told Xiaowu what she had discovered at the bottom of the lake. It was the first time Xiaowu saw Qiqi so anxious.
"Master, don't worry about Xiaowu. I'll carry you to the bottom of the lake to take a look. We'll know what's there once we see it." Xiaowu said.
Xiaowu jumped into the water and immediately turned into his original appearance, a big turtle that could accommodate Qiqi and the others.
Zhou Jingze embraced Qiqi and jumped onto the turtle's back. Xiaowu formed a large aura shield around himself, covering them both. He slowly dived into the lake. The aura shield was transparent, allowing him to clearly see everything at the bottom of the lake.
Soon they reached the bottom of the lake. Qiqi and the other two searched seriously. Qiqi led Xiaowu to the place where the little turtle disappeared.
As Xiaowu swam forward, the spiritual energy shield encountered an obstruction. It was a transparent barrier, and they couldn't see clearly what was happening inside. Zhou Jingze placed his hand on the barrier, but there was no response.
Qiqi also placed her hand on the barrier, but it didn't react. "Xiaowu, put your paw on the barrier and see if it reacts. We haven't opened the barrier yet, but I hope you can."
Xiao Wu obediently placed his paw on the transparent barrier, and together they entered. Qi Qi and Zhou Jingze were surprised to find no water inside. Instead, there was a palace, and beside it, a pool. They saw a few little turtles playing in it.
Xiaowu transformed into an eight-year-old boy and appeared in front of several small turtles. They were startled by the three people in front of them and instantly transformed into several small boys and shouted loudly.
"Who are you and how did you get here?" they asked.
At this time, several middle-aged men flew over. They knew someone was coming in. Before they even got close, they heard the shouts.
"What is your purpose here and how did you get in?" asked a middle-aged man.
Xiao Wu had now returned to his original turtle form. The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw Xiao Wu.
"Are you... Xiaowu? My child." He walked forward and hugged Xiaowu, and Xiaowu also turned into an eight-year-old child.
Xiaowu also burst into tears. "Dad, I miss you." Several middle-aged men also hugged Xiaowu.
"Xiao Wu, after your master Jiang Ziying got into trouble, several of our clans searched for you. We couldn't find you. We couldn't find the Dragon Clan either. Xiao Hu's parents also disappeared, and we were oppressed by the immortal world. We were rescued here by an old man, in his secluded residence, and he let us stay here.
We've lived here for thousands of years. We've searched for you, but we couldn't find you. We haven't seen the old man in all these years. When we tried to leave, we encountered a barrier that we couldn't break, and we couldn't find the old man.
We've become a hermit here. We found the old man's python, but it didn't know where he was. We thought we were trapped here forever. I was terrified. "Not finding you is my biggest regret. I never thought you'd find me on your own," the middle-aged man said, tears streaming down his face.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze looked at them without saying anything. They would wait until they stopped crying before speaking.
"Father, uncles, this is my master, Jiang Qiqi and her husband. They met me at the bottom of the sea. I have been at the bottom of the sea for thousands of years." Xiao Wu said.
The middle-aged man looked at Qiqi and said, "You are the reincarnation of Jiang Ziying. Jiang Ziying is gone. Can I call you Qiqi?" He could tell at a glance.
I knew Xiaowu's father had a high level of cultivation. They were all forced here. The Zhao family is too strong. We must be careful when we go out next time.
"My name is Jiang Qiqi, and this is my husband Zhou Jingze. We finally found you. Xiaowu missed you too. We found Xiaohu's parents. We also found Xiaolong's parents. We also met Xiaofeng's mother." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, is this true? Our four-beast family will be reunited one day." Xiaowu's father said.
Qiqi moved Xiaolong's grandfather and Aunt Long out of the space, and she also moved Xiaohu's parents out of Linglong Tower.
They were a little confused about how to get out of the space when they saw Grandpa Long.
They all shouted "Uncle Long, Aunt Long" Xiaowu's father and Xiaohu's parents shouted.
Xiaolong's grandfather also shed tears, "Are you all okay? It's great to be alive. I don't know how my son and daughter-in-law are doing."
