When Zhang Qiling went downstairs, the people downstairs had already started busying themselves. Fatty Wang and Yuncai were washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen, Jie Yuchen was working with a tablet, and Hei Xia Zi and Wu Xie took Li Cu and the other two out. They were probably going for training - those three were now Hei Xia Zi's new apprentices, and Wu Xie's new junior brothers.

Although Li Cu was extremely opposed to this.

Li Cu: Bah! I don’t want a brother like that!

When the little girl was not around, Li Cu still had a bad face towards Wu Xie, and Wu Xie didn't even blink an eyelid about it - it was normal. After all, this kid had been tortured so badly by him before, so it was normal for him to hate him.

"Here you are, little brother. Your food is there."

When Zhang Qiling walked into the kitchen, Yun Cai pointed to the bowls of food covered by plates on the stove. Zhang Qiling hummed a low "hmm" and walked over to take them away. Fatty Wang, who was washing dishes, looked up and asked, "Brother, are you still taking Guaibao out this afternoon? It looks like it's going to rain this afternoon, so don't take her out today to avoid getting wet."

Zhang Qiling, who had gone to get his chopsticks, glanced out the window upon hearing this. Seeing dark clouds in the distance, he once again hummed and replied, "Okay, if we don't go out, we'll just go to the yard."

After hearing Zhang Qiling's response, Fatty Wang continued, "Someone will deliver the chicks this afternoon. I already made the arrangements yesterday. We need to build a shed in the backyard so that even if it rains, we won't have to worry about them getting wet. Brother, come with me after you finish eating. Wu Xie and the others have already brought all the tools here."

Zhang Qiling, who was already eating, paused for a moment, then hummed again. Yuncai, who was picking out the dishes for dinner next to him, suddenly looked up at Fatty Wang and said, "Hey, speaking of chicks, do you still have the little rabbit that Guaibao wanted? Heiye made that one into a dish. Guaibao hasn't asked for it again, but I think he still likes it, right? How about asking if anyone has little rabbits for sale?"

Hearing Yuncai's suggestion, Fatty Wang immediately smiled and said, "Hey, don't worry about that. I've thought of it a long time ago. The family that sold the chicks just happened to have a litter of baby rabbits at home. They're old enough to eat food. I asked him for a few, and he said he'd send them over along with the chicks. Then I can give Guaibao a surprise."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Cai immediately showed an expression of surprise and joy, and Zhang Qiling also put down his chopsticks and uttered the word "good".

Anything that makes her happy is good.

Zhang Qiling ate very quickly. When he put down his bowl and walked out, Fatty Wang had not finished washing yet, and Xie Yuchen in the living room had already put down his tablet and was standing at the door whispering to someone outside.

"Is the cleanup almost done?"

"Almost. She's not awake yet?"

"No, it hasn't recovered yet. It's still the same."

"Okay, I understand. I'll tell the group."

……

When he saw who was coming, Zhang Qiling paused for a moment, then walked straight over and greeted the person: "Here I am."

The visitor turned around upon hearing the sound, nodded, and said, "Well, I'm close by, so I came over to take a look. The others are still busy and probably won't be able to come over in the short term."

Zhang Qiling nodded slightly, then paused and asked, "Do you want to go up and see her?"

Before Zhang Qiling even finished speaking, the man immediately said, "Of course."

He came here, naturally, just for one person.

Xie Yuchen raised his eyebrows slightly and stepped aside to make way for the door. The man immediately walked in with his long legs. He didn't need anyone to lead him. He walked quickly to the stairs and walked towards his destination very skillfully.

"Be quiet, don't wake up the baby."

Looking at the man's back, Xie Yuchen suddenly said something. The man didn't even turn his head, but just waved his hand, and his whole figure disappeared around the corner.

Zhang Qiling originally wanted to follow, but when he was about to lift his legs, Xie Yuchen raised his hand and pressed his shoulder. After the figure of the man completely disappeared, he said, "Brother, it's a rare opportunity for him to come. Let him be alone with my baby for a while."

Zhang Qiling was silent and did not respond. Xie Yuchen did not expect him to respond, so he just patted his shoulder, turned around and walked back to the sofa in the living room, picked up the tablet and started working again.

This was the scene when Fatty Wang and Yuncai came out. He wiped his hands with a towel and said, "Who's here? Going up to see Guaibao?"

"It's Zhang Shouxu. He happened to be nearby, so he came to see Guaibao."

Xie Yuchen responded without even looking up, and Yun Cai immediately showed a clear expression. Fatty Wang nodded, turned to look at Zhang Qiling who was standing silently at the door, and said, "Come on, little brother, let's go build a shed in the backyard."

After hearing this, Zhang Qiling withdrew his gaze from the stairs. He hummed in a deep voice and followed Fatty Wang to the backyard.

After he left, Xie Yuchen still looked up. He looked at Zhang Qiling who was leaving, then looked at the empty staircase, and couldn't help laughing.

They are all treasure keepers, but that’s normal, since it’s everyone’s treasure after all.

After all, isn't he himself one of them?

Here, Zhang Shouxu, who had quietly opened the door and come to the little girl's bed, had already red eyes. He looked at the little girl who was sleeping soundly, and his Adam's apple kept rolling, as if he was trying to swallow the bitterness in his throat.

"Long time no see, baby."

He slowly knelt down on one knee, reached out his hand and gently hooked a strand of her white hair, and kissed the end of the hair very carefully.

"Everyone misses you."

"We used the talisman you gave us to clear all the pollution from around the world, except for the place where Slaughter and Faceless said it was."

"Little Fubao is still sleeping. I don't know how long it will take for him to wake up this time."

"Time flies by so fast. It's already been three months."

"When will you remember? We are all waiting for you."

"...I'm sorry...for lying to you..."

"Please, come back soon... At least give us a chance to explain..."

"I love you……"

The more Zhang Shouxu spoke, the hoarser his already deep voice became. By the end, the tears in his eyes had already dripped uncontrollably onto the bed, staining it with two dark spots.

The little girl who was sleeping soundly had no idea what was happening. She even had a smile on her lips, smacked her lips a few times, and suddenly let out a soft "hehe" sound, as if she was dreaming about something delicious.

The sound of "hehe" made Zhang Shouxu stunned for a moment. He raised his head and stared at the curved corners of the mouth with his scarlet eyes for a long time. Suddenly, he laughed and no longer felt any discomfort.

"Did you dream about something you liked?"

"If you're so happy, then it's okay if you don't change back..."

As he spoke, Zhang Shouxu slowly sat down on the floor. He raised his hand and gently touched the little girl's chubby face, while his eyes gradually became dazed.

It's already been a year and three months...

"no no!!"

"elder sister!!!"

"Baby! No!!!"

When the god standing high in the air fell, countless people rushed towards him in an instant. They raised their hands high, trying to catch him. Their eyes were red as if dripping blood, full of despair and sorrow.

How could this be?

Why has it become like this!!!

Why on earth did all this turn out like this? ! !

"Why! Why do you do this?!"

It was Zhang Shouxu who caught Qiuyue. After a short period of fusion, their bodies and souls finally became harmonious, and the solidified energy in their bodies could finally be used. But it was too late. He hugged the person who had become soft and powerless tightly, staring at the deep wound on her throat, looking at the dazzling golden blood, and a sweet taste suddenly surged in his throat.

It was clearly a new body that had just been born, but at this moment it could not bear the grief of its owner's soul.

Zhang Qiling was almost in a state of confusion. His pupils were shrinking and trembling, and he could not utter a word except for a few hoarse sounds in his throat. His face was so pale that his lips had lost their color. He stretched out his hand to cover the wound, but when his slender fingers touched the golden blood, he seemed to be burned. He pulled his hand back suddenly, and the tears that rolled down were faintly stained with blood.

"No no no no!"

The wound that Zhang Qiling failed to hold was covered by Zhang Hailou who came from behind. His eyes were bloodshot and he screamed while raising his hands to cover the wound. But when his palms covered it, a large amount of golden blood instantly soaked his hands, which was sticky, hot and dazzling, making them more frightened than the red blood.

"Little Fubao! Little Fubao!! Come quickly, save her!!!"

His voice was almost silent, and he was roaring with his last bit of strength. The people around him had already gone crazy. Some had blood at the corners of their mouths, some were biting their fingers nervously, and some were grabbing their hair fiercely, with the corners of their eyes almost cracked.

Their lover, their beloved! Why did everything become like this!!

Little Fubao, who was called, also collapsed. He looked dazed and flew down staggeringly, with no light in his eyes.

[Sister, sister…]

Little Fubao squeaked incoherently and landed on her shoulder, ignoring the fact that its fur was instantly stained with golden blood. Its two little claws grabbed the nearest white hair, and the whole mouse trembled uncontrollably.

"Xiao Fubao, don't stay still! Hurry up and use your abilities! Aren't you very powerful? Find a way to save your sister and heal her wounds!"
