Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 912: Chapter 43: Unexpected Complications (2)

Has she grown so much already?

"Yes, you gave me my name," Little Taozhi cradled a few fresh peaches in her hands, peaches recently picked from the tree. "I have come back to life, and the peach tree outside the temple has also bloomed and fruited. The great monk told me that sowing good seeds leads to good fruits. Sister, you once gave me hope, and now I return hope to you."

Little Taozhi skipped to Xiao Xian’s side and whispered something in her ear.

"Is there really such magic in this world..." Xiao Xian found it hard to believe, but if she could truly find that place, could she...

"Yes, even dead wood can spring back to life. Sister, you must try hard," Little Taozhi put down those peaches and gifted Xiao Xian a radiant smile.

Xiao Xian stood beside the gravesite and said a few more words with Zhu Shijun, before quietly leaving Ge Village.

After leaving Ge Village, Xiao Xian went to two more places.

The first place was a secretive rocky beach.

The rocky beach that Yezi had told her about.

Desolate mountains and beaches not tread upon for years, a bizarre figure resembling a rock.

Just as Xiao Xian thought, the Fiji in Yezi’s words had long turned to ash and sand under the sun, she finally found Fiji on a rocky beach made only of stones, devoid of any vegetation.

"You are Senior Fiji?" Xiao Xian was not surprised by Fiji’s unusual appearance, which pleased him greatly.

"Huh, you’re a practitioner? Quite a detestable scent," Fiji had been waiting, waiting for Yezi to bring him good news.

The ungrateful lad had quietly returned to the beach one day about two years ago.

After returning, he didn’t make it clear if he had found any news of Celeste, only stared blankly at the water’s surface, no matter how much abusive language was hurled at him, that lad showed no response.

After a few days at the beach, one morning, the lad suddenly said he was off to a faraway place called the United States, as if he was in a rush.

According to him, Celeste was in the United States.

Fiji hated the scent of practitioners. The former Beast Star, with its abundant Star Rhinoceros Stone resources, attracted countless practitioners. After plundering the resources, they turned their attention to the powerful spiritual beasts of Beast Star.

It was a terrible calamity.

Fiji, hearing it was Yezi who found Xiao Xian, observing her demeanor, changed to a somewhat kind tone. "You wouldn’t happen to be that green plum bamboo horse Yezi always talks about? Earth women are not so impressive; I thought you might have three heads and six arms to have bewitched that lad so. Yet you carry that detestable scent, you are a practitioner."

"I am a practitioner, and indeed, Yezi sent me to find you. I wanted to ask, do you recognize this kind of stone?" Xiao Xian took out a stone.

"Star Rhinoceros Stone? Where did you discover this stone?" Fiji thought such Star Rhinoceros Stone could only be found on Beast Star.

"In many places, including the campus of Huake Institute, the Underground Botanical Garden, the Changbai Mountain region, a trench in the Pacific, around the East African Rift Valley, the central Australian desert, the Alaskan region of the United States, a part of the seabed on the East Coast of the United States... In these past months, before Yezi prepared to return home, he and I found traces of Mafu Stone in many places worldwide."

In these places, aside from the presence of Mafu Stone, another phenomenon existed simultaneously. Those places, more or less, exhibited mutated animal species or tree species, and even something as ancient as the ginseng spirit baby.

"How is it possible, only Beast Star has Star Rhinoceros Stone," Fiji was a bit unsettled by the statement, thinking the Star Rhinoceros Stone he had given to Yezi was an incredibly precious existence.

"Unfortunately, that is the fact. You can look at the sets of photos I’ve brought; notice those mutated flora and fauna," Xiao Xian presented a set of photos along with areas where Mafu Stone mines were completely depleted.

"This is? Celeste, you’ve found Celeste, my wife." In the photos, he discovered Lady Serlin. "Wait, her appearance, and she..."

Celeste had arrived on Earth several hundred years earlier than Fiji, yet her appearance remained unchanged.

"She likely possesses a very resource-rich batch of Star Rhinoceros Stones," Xiao Xian and Yezi deduced this based on Zhou Ziang’s matter.

The mutated, no longer pure Golden-grade Spiritual Power came from these unrefined Beast Star Rhinestones.

"Possibly what you’re saying is true, but since you’ve discovered the truth, why do you still seek me out," Fiji appeared much older, his voice hollow and hoarse.

"Teach me how to defeat your wife. She caused the death of someone very important to me," Xiao Xian plainly stated her intentions.

"Why would I tell you? You are a practitioner; the people of Beast Star detest practitioners the most. Celeste is my wife; I have no need to betray her for an outsider," Fiji coldly replied.

"What if I tell you that for the last few hundred years, she has married and borne children and is no longer your wife? Or if I told you she raised thousands of rare birds, using their blood to maintain her beauty. Or perhaps I say she participated in practitioners’ trials, became one of them, assisting in massacring Beast Star’s residents, would that change your mind," Xiao Xian believed she could convince Fiji.

"Hmph, I won’t fall for that," Fiji was not swayed by Xiao Xian’s instigation.

"Looks like this trip was in vain," Xiao Xian turned to leave.

"Have Yezi come find me; if he’s willing to come and agree to one condition of mine, I’ll tell you how to eliminate Celeste," Fiji called out.

Xiao Xian didn’t look back and left the shoal.

The second place Xiao Xian went was Yunnan.

The place where Zhu Shijun spent his last days alive. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welcome to vote for it on Qidian () with recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
