Chapter 599: Chapter 266: Bestowing Treasures, Dual Breakthroughs, Secret Exposed (Part 2)

"Brother, Yongwei... Yongwei has been trained by Madam Luoo to become an assassin, and moreover, she’s being coerced by the debt of upbringing, with a strand of Yongwei’s Life Soul taken, so you shouldn’t appear in North Huai Prefecture."

After all.

Yongwei’s life is held in Madam Luoo’s hands.

Fu Changren turned pale upon hearing this and murmured:

"It’s my fault, it’s my fault; if back then I had been a bit more courageous, had already stepped into Foundation Establishment, Qianqian wouldn’t have been secluded for years, and Yongwei wouldn’t have..."

As he spoke.

Fu Changren was already somewhat choked up.

It’s all due to his own incompetence.

That caused his wife and daughter to suffer such agony.

Recalling something.

Fu Changren hastily said:

"Patriarch, the matter of Yongwei, for now, it’s better not to tell your sister-in-law; I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle it."

"Brother, I understand."

Fu Changsheng saw his brother deeply affected, with a self-reproaching demeanor.

Now he already placed Madam Luoo on the must-kill list:

"Brother, rest assured, once the celebration ends tomorrow, I will immediately rush to North Huai. No matter what means I have to use, I will definitely bring Yongwei safely back to you."

Fu Changren tightly gripped Fu Changsheng’s right hand, his voice hoarse:

"Changsheng, you must help me bring Yongwei back."

Since over forty years ago when Fu Changsheng took over as Patriarch.

This was the first time Fu Changren called Fu Changsheng by name, apparently entrusting him with brotherly affection.

Fu Changsheng nodded heavily.

Meanwhile.

A familiar voice suddenly resounded in his mind:

"Ding"

"You provided a clan member with a useful clue, igniting hope in him, and rekindling brotherly dependence on you, gaining fifty Clan Contribution Points"

After Fu Changren left.

About half a tea time later, Ningning, who was waiting outside the Council Hall, walked in.

She was holding a plate of steaming Fire Cloud Chicken noodles.

Different from the usual charcoal-like appearance, this time it was full of color, aroma, and taste; Ningning raised a flattering smile:

"Father, I noticed at the family feast, you hardly touched your chopsticks. I specially made a large plate of Fire Cloud Chicken noodles that you love, try it, it’s so fragrant even Brother Fuu was full of praise."

Fu Changsheng took one look at the appearance.

And instantly recognized that it must have been Ningning’s guidance, with Brother Fuu personally cooking it.

However.

Not long ago, the Fire Cloud Chicken had just ingested the Thousand Shadows Poison and died, so he couldn’t bring himself to eat it. With a flick of his finger, the Array Light Curtain closed, as he shook his head and said:

"Go ahead, what do you want?"

"Indeed, you’re my father; you guessed it right away"

Ningning didn’t hesitate.

Flattering, she stepped forward to kneel and massage Fu Changsheng’s legs:

"Father, I heard you have several Spirit Beast Bags, can you spare me one? In recent days, people have been coming and going within the clan, and Mumu is so afraid of strangers it doesn’t dare go outside, just staying in the Star-Receiving Tower; the daughter fears it might get anxious, which would be unfortunate... that would be heartbreaking for the daughter."

Ningning was startled.

Almost let it slip.

With the matter of Brother Qiang, Fu Changsheng didn’t want to play the role of a strict father either, and after feeling around in his sleeve for a moment, he had just pulled out a Spirit Beast Bag, when Ningning swiftly snatched it away:

"Thank you, Father; Father is the best. Once I cultivate high enough and get Spirit Stones, anything Father wants, just tell Ningning, and Ningning will buy it all for you."

Look at this promise being made.

Fu Changsheng chuckled, yet found it quite agreeable.

But still he advised:

"Spirit Beast Bags are rarer than storage bags; with your cultivation, don’t show them easily; remember this."

"The daughter wholeheartedly adheres to Father’s teachings; Father, I see you’re quite busy, so I won’t disturb you; I’ll take my leave first."

Performed a courtesy.

Ningning disappeared like smoke from the Council Hall.

Fu Changsheng laughed and scolded lightly.

At the same time.

A familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind:

"Ding"

"You gifted a clan member a Spirit Beast Bag, earning fifty Clan Contribution Points."

....

After descending from the Main Peak, Ningning rode the Immortal Crane that Fu Changli left for her, back to the Star-Receiving Tower.

Upon entering the tower.

She saw a streak of blue light shoot quickly towards her:

"Chirp chirp"

The Wood Flying Squirrel cheerfully chirped at Ningning.

The two had been apart for half a day.

Yet it felt as if they had been apart for many years.

Ningning waved the Spirit Beast Bag in her hand, smilingly said:

"Mumu, look at what Sister brought back?"

"Chirp chirp"

The Wood Flying Squirrel’s eyes lit up.

In a flash, it automatically dived into the Spirit Beast Bag, then immediately poked its head out, going in and out excitedly several times.

After it had enough fun.

Then Ningning said:

"Mumu, with the Spirit Beast Bag, you can now go out with Sister; come on, Sister will take you to forage."

Upon discovering the Wood Flying Squirrel could devour residual treasures and rebuff Mana to her, Ningning couldn’t resist trying a few more times later, finding Mumu couldn’t absorb all residual treasures, but Mumu couldn’t explain why, though it could sense which treasures were beneficial, prompting Ningning to ask her father for a Spirit Beast Bag.

"Chirp chirp chirp"

Upon hearing they could search for treasures.

The Wood Flying Squirrel was delighted, instantly turning into a streak of blue light, diving into the Spirit BeastBag, and Ningning advised:

"Mumu, remember, outside don’t climb out, just send messages to Sister."

Repeated this advice several times.

Only then did Ningning leave the Star-Receiving Tower.

She flew towards the Task Hall.

Intact Magical Artifacts.

She had neither so many Spirit Stones to purchase, thereby setting her sights on the Abandoned Hall in the domain; the Abandoned Hall is where the clan stores incomplete Magical Artifacts, talismans, pills, Magic Robes, and other unusable items.
