Chapter 24 Gift
How is my Xiaoqi doing?

"It's alright, Uncle. Don't worry, she just fainted from exhaustion. She'll be fine after a night's rest."

After Meng Qi was taken home by Meng Shulan, Meng Jiu immediately called her seventh sister's daughter-in-law, who was a doctor.

Because the other party was located in the town hospital, which was only three kilometers away from Yunmeng Village, they arrived relatively quickly.

After the examination, Meng Jiu's niece-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone in the house had left, leaving only Xiao Qi sleeping peacefully in the bedroom, her forehead lit up again, and then a white shadow slowly emerged from it.

The shadow was somewhat illusory, and even the facial features didn't look very real, but the figure revealed that it was a young man dressed in white.

The man stared blankly at everything before him, utterly bewildered by the furnishings and the little girl lying on the bed.

"Where am I? Why am I in this child's consciousness? I... haven't been annihilated?"

After pondering for a long time without getting any useful information, he looked down at the little girl sleeping on the bed.

With delicate features and fair skin, she looked very well-behaved while sleeping.

But who is she?
Also, why does she have my storage ring on her?

The man silently looked at the familiar silver bracelet on Meng Qi's wrist. He thought that only he and his master could open this storage ring, so it must have been a gift from his master.
He probed his storage ring with his divine sense and saw the black iron longsword he had retrieved when he killed the fox demon. He couldn't help but smile.

Master is as lazy as ever. He's already given her the storage ring, so why doesn't he forge her a suitable weapon?
The butcher's knife fell into the yard of Yun Laosan's house, but he didn't notice it.

However, even if he noticed it, he wouldn't recommend Xiaoqi to use it.

The butcher's knife? It was used to cut meat a long, long time ago when he went out to train. It hasn't been used for so long that it's not sharp at all.

"In consideration of your help in nurturing my soul, I'll give you a gift today."

As he spoke, the man took out the black iron longsword from his storage ring, then took out three shiny stones each of red, yellow, and blue, and then stretched out his hand to draw a circle in the air.

The black iron longsword and the three-colored stone spun and collided in the circle, while the room also shimmered with light, like a rainbow.

About half an hour later, the room returned to silence, and a small, exquisite Xuan Tie sword with a black blade and a colorful hilt hung in the air in front of Xiao Qi.

"I'm so tired. I'll let her be bound to her master first, and then I'll go back to rest."

After the man finished speaking, he picked up Xiao Qi's finger, cut it, and squeezed out a drop of blood onto the hilt of the knife.

The Xuan Tie sword flashed briefly before returning to normal.

"Mission accomplished, I need to go back and rest."

After the man finished speaking, he darted into Xiao Qi's forehead, and the Xuan Tie Blade returned to its storage ring. The room was quiet, as if nothing had happened.

On the other side, there was a commotion in front of the collapsed house of Yun Laosan.

The neighbors were all demanding that Yun Laosan give an explanation, since the monster was brought back by his son, so even though the person was killed by the monster, his son was also involved.

They should at least give an explanation.
Their wives/mothers can't have died in vain.

Local police were trying to persuade him, while Yun Laosan looked at his home, now a ruin, with a look of despair.

He was just attending a meeting in the county, how could his family be gone in just one day?

Xia Yunsong and Shen Xiu were examining the shattered flesh and blood of the fox demon on the ground. Lin Qingquan didn't reveal the secret of Xiao Qi's forehead, only saying that a mysterious person had intervened, killed the fox demon, and left.

Because of the speed, he didn't get a good look at what it looked like. That didn't matter, though, since everyone who could help kill the demon was on their side anyway.

Therefore, they did not pursue the matter further with Lin Qingquan, after all, he was also injured, but fortunately the problem was not serious.

Beneath the collapsed kitchen, the body of Yun Laosan's wife was pulled out, a bloody and gruesome sight.

The dog, limping on its hind legs, whimpered as it moved to its owner's side, licking her hand with its tongue out. The dog's face looked very sad.

Although it was bought by Yun Jialiang, it was usually fed and bathed by the female owner, so it actually had a deeper affection for her than for Yun Jialiang.

That's why, even though it was afraid of the gray fox, it didn't run away but instead bravely pounced and bit it.

Dogs are often more reliable than people.

Lin Qingquan took a piece of fox meat from a pile of scraps and placed it near Big Yellow's mouth, then patted its head, signaling it to eat it.

He was now almost certain that demon flesh was beneficial to the human body.

At the very least, it is beneficial for wound healing.

The gray fox was quite large, and Shen Xiu and the others collected a huge pile of scraps of meat just by cleaning them up.

Lin Qingquan's eyes gleamed as he looked at the meat. Just as Xia Yunsong and the others were about to load the meat onto the truck, he stopped them and said, "Leave some for me. This is the first time I've seen a fox demon of this caliber. I want to study how the flesh of this kind of demon differs from the ones I've encountered before."

Xia Yunsong, unsuspecting, had it packed into a large plastic bag.

Before leaving, he tried to persuade him again, "Mr. Lin, I am sincerely inviting you to work part-time with us. Recently, more and more monsters have appeared. It seems that those who escaped and hid from Sanqing Mountain are gradually showing themselves again."

"How about you reconsider?"

This time, Lin Qingquan didn't refuse outright, because he remembered his daughter's exceptionally lively personality and the fact that she would be starting school next year.
Of course, he wasn't saying that staying in the countryside was bad, but his father-in-law and several uncles spoiled her too much. He was afraid that once she started school, they would applaud if she burned her books.

Moreover, education in the city is better than in the countryside.

So after thinking for a moment, Lin Qingquan said to Xia Yunsong, "How about this, I'll recover from my injuries first, and I'll contact you again when I'm fully healed."

Xia Yunsong was overjoyed. He knew that even if someone like Lin Qingquan lost an arm, he was still far more capable than people like them who had undergone special training.

After the two sides reached an agreement, Xia Yunsong and his group drove away.

As for how to resolve the dispute between Yun Laosan and his neighbors, that's not under Xia's jurisdiction; the local police will stay and assist in handling it.

When Lin Qingquan got home, he went to check on his daughter first. Seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, he couldn't help but touch her forehead.

Legend has it that highly skilled cultivators can inscribe their techniques on magical artifacts for their descendants, who can then activate the artifacts to save their lives when their own lives are threatened.

Of course, having lived this long, he's not the only one who hasn't seen magical artifacts. There are only one or two truly powerful elders left in this world, and even they might not have the ability to imprint their techniques on objects.

Moreover, this is not an object; it is clearly left inside her body and will automatically activate when her life is in danger.

This was the first time he had ever seen it in his life.

So, what kind of amazing person is the daughter's master?

Good afternoon!
