Anime Crossover: This Holy Lord Only Wants Friendly Communication

"Uh...a gift?" Jackie Chan paused.

Chapter 72 Dad is getting old

Just as Jackie Chan suddenly realized that he hadn't bought his father any Bavarian specialties yet, and that giving him just a talisman as a gift would be too abrupt.

Suddenly, the airport's public address system blared—

"Passengers boarding Flight 19 to San Francisco are now on board."

Upon hearing the announcement, Jackie Chan panicked: "Ah, I'm boarding the plane, Jade. See you later, I'll be home soon!"

He's still making a phone call outside the departure lounge; he has a long way to go before he can get to the plane.

He quickly hung up the phone, grabbed his backpack, and ran into a nearby shop.

"Chocolate, cheese...leather shorts?"

"Oh! What kind of local specialty would Dad like to buy?"

Cheng Long covered his forehead in pain.

He picked out a few things at random, quickly paid the bill, and rushed out.

"Goodbye, Bavaria..."

......

Dad's Antique Shop.

The warm orange light shone into the room, filling it with a cozy atmosphere.

As the cheerful and rhythmic music played, Xiaoyu swayed her body to the beat.

Meanwhile, Dad was still searching for information.

However, the busy old man had been enduring the noise surrounding him for a long time, but it still didn't stop. Finally, he couldn't help but straighten up.

"Oh dear! Is there no one who can understand the plight of this old man?!"

The old man took off his glasses, rubbed his dry eyes, pulled his thin body out from a pile of ancient books, and shouted outside, "Xiaoyu, that speaker is disturbing my work!"

"..."

The rhythmic music continued to play, and the old man waited for a while, but no one answered.

"Sigh..." The old man sighed helplessly, then slowly stood up, supporting himself on the table with both hands.

He stretched his limbs before slowly walking outside.

"Xiaoyu..."

"Xiaoyu?"

"Xiaoyu!"

This music, which sounds like it's going to rip the roof off, is just too loud.

The old man approached Xiaoyu step by step until he was close to her ear, and shouted, "Xiao—Yu—!!!"

"Wow!"

Xiaoyu finally reacted. Startled by the sudden sound in her ear, she quickly turned around, her eyes wide, patted her chest with her little hand, and turned off the stereo next to her.

"Dad, what are you doing? You scared me to death!" Xiaoyu looked at her father with a pitiful expression as he began to climb the huge bookshelf that covered an entire wall.

"You listen to rock music, that's why you scare all my customers away!" A hint of anxiety appeared on the old man's thin face.

The threat of evil is closing in on them, and if they don't find a way to counter the evil forces soon, they will all be in big trouble!

The appearance of this mysterious creature, resembling Xuanwu, at this moment might be due to sensing the power of the demon.

However, he had never heard his teacher mention any sacred beasts. How could they appear so suddenly without any warning?

Wherever a sacred beast goes, there should be strange phenomena and auspicious omens.

Puzzled, the old man could only search for clues through reading.

"Let's pick up a few more books and take a look."

Dad climbed to the very top of the bookshelf, next to which stood a tall, antique-looking shelf.

The artifacts among them, not to mention the bronze vessels of the Xia and Shang dynasties, are all ancient pieces buried in history, which are now being unearthed and brought to light.

These are all non-sale items, and the antique shop is quite messy. In addition, the bookshelves are not big enough, so many books are placed on the antique shelves.

"This is hip-hop music, it's really simple, Dad, do you want to dance along? Trust me, dancing to it will make you feel ten years younger!"

Xiaoyu stood below, looking up at her father struggling to reach the ancient history books placed on the antique shelf.

"Come on, Dad, let me teach you how to jump, okay?"

As she spoke, Xiaoyu pressed the switch again, immersing herself once more in the cheerful melody.

"Let's forget about it, Dad's bones will break if we do that."

The old man turned his head and looked down, shook his head, and then continued picking up the ancient books.

These historical records, passed down through generations, contain many secrets.

Perhaps it can help him find a way to communicate with that mysterious creature, or even use it to restrain the Holy Lord.

With a flick of his wrist, the old man caused the ancient book to brush past a small bottle.

"call out"

Xiaoyu, who was swaying to the rhythm, felt something fall from above her head.

She instinctively took a step back.

"Snapped!"

A series of crisp, crackling sounds rang out.

Xiaoyu blinked and saw a pile of antique fragments lying on the ground.

Startled, she quickly turned off the music and looked up to ask, "What's wrong, Dad? Are you alright?"

The old man, holding the ancient book, slowly climbed down the ladder.

Once on the ground, Dad put the book aside, took off his glasses, and wiped them clean.

He sighed deeply and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I almost hit you."

"It's okay, Dad, I wasn't hit!" Xiaoyu replied immediately without pausing. "But Dad, are you alright? Did you suddenly have a headache? Or is something else bothering you?"

"Sigh..." Browsing through too many ancient books made the old man a little sad. "I'm fine, it's just that I'm getting old, just like these antiques."

Xiaoyu felt a pang of sadness when she saw her father rubbing his back.

Her voice was soft as she tried to comfort her father, but she didn't know what to say. After a long pause, she finally managed to say, "But...but antiques are very valuable, Dad!"

"Oh!" The old man looked vaguely at the fragments on the ground and nodded. "Yes, so precious, yet it broke so easily."

He made a soft humming sound, picked up the book, put his glasses back on, and turned to walk towards the study.

Xiaoyu: "......"

As dusk fell, the sky darkened.

Thin, pale white clouds drifted above, and some light still shone down, pouring its last rays upon the world.

Happy birthday, Dad!

Congratulations rang out in unison from Old Man's Antique Shop.

Jackie Chan returned home, and he and Jade stood beside their father, preparing to celebrate his birthday.

"Here you go, Dad. This is my gift!" Xiaoyu handed her father an item wrapped in purple plastic paper.

"Oh, thank you, Xiaoyu." The old man slowly tore the congratulatory paper apart, making a ripping sound.

Looking down, I saw a framed and neatly bound photo album.

"Dad, look! This was taken when Uncle Long took me to the amusement park. We were quite angry because our talisman was stolen! Look at my eyebrows, they're all bent from anger, but my hair still looks great, and there's even a cute little deer!"

Xiaoyu stood on a chair and introduced the things in the photos to her father one by one.

Among them were her, Jackie Chan, bald-headed Blake, and a large elk in a suit.

None of them looked very happy.

Chapter 73 Ah Fu makes his appearance! Watch as I, Black Tiger, pluck out the heart!

The child's innocent words echoed in my ears.

The old man had a kind smile on his face. He patted Xiaoyu's shoulder and said gently, "I like it very much. I will keep it safe."

After saying that, he glanced at Jackie Chan and asked, "Jackie, what gift are you planning to give me?"

"Oh, I have something good to give you, Dad..."

Jackie Chan, who was called out, quickly bent down, took out a basket of things he had bought at a shop in Bavaria Airport, and placed it in front of his father.

"Ta-da!" Jackie Chan looked at his father and grinned sheepishly. "Dad, look at this gift, do you like it?"

"Um……"

The old man picked up a packaged item and examined it.

"Eating chocolate will make your teeth hurt."

He picked up another thing.

"Cheese is too high in sugar and not suitable for the elderly..."

The old man looked at the other trinkets, about to continue nitpicking, but then stopped abruptly.

He seemed even more frustrated and shook his head.

"Okay, this isn't your problem. The gift is nice, I like it very much."

“Uh…” Jackie Chan was stunned.

Seeing his father's expression, he took something out of his pocket and said with a smile, "Dad! I brought you something else too, this is your zodiac animal! It's for you!"
