God of Pets-Chapter 463: Xiaoqi and Little Eight

Chen Guan watched Qing Ya escape and didn’t stop her.

Speaking of which, his background is similar to Bu Changning and Qing Ya, except he was luckier and didn’t suffer as much as they did.

"That woman’s illusion technique is quite impressive," Fujimura Reiko said.

Chen Guan nodded, "Indeed, it’s very impressive."

"Where are we going now?" Fujimura Reiko looked at Chen Guan and asked.

She had left the Eight Kings and didn’t know where to go for the time being, but she had decided that since Chen Guan brought her out, she would follow him from now on.

"Do you not plan to return to the Celestial Court Army?" Chen Guan asked.

"The experience with the Celestial Court Army isn’t a fond memory for me," Fujimura Reiko shook her head.

"There are some things you probably don’t know." Chen Guan explained that her grandfather was Lian Sanshan, who investigated matters after her birth.

"I know." Fujimura Reiko interrupted Chen Guan, "I’ve always known Lian Sanshan is my grandfather, but so what? He severed ties with us long ago, and I’ve never thought about gaining anything from him, nor wanting to acknowledge a relative who never participated in my life."

Chen Guan was surprised that Fujimura Reiko knew Lian Sanshan was her grandfather.

"I’m not Lian Sanshan’s granddaughter, and I have nothing to do with him. Will you still take me with you?" Fujimura Reiko asked Chen Guan with a complex expression.

"Are you questioning whether I’m a normal man?" Chen Guan replied, pretending to be serious.

"What does this have to do with whether you’re a normal man?" Fujimura Reiko couldn’t immediately react.

"What normal man wouldn’t want to take the Celestial Flower Fujimura Reiko with him?" Chen Guan replied sternly.

Fujimura Reiko burst into laughter, "Alright then, where do you plan to take me?"

"I have some connections with the Celestial Court Army, so I’ll be staying in the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm for now. I need to visit an undeveloped area. You can go see your parents first. Let’s set a place to meet." Chen Guan said.

"You’re so badly injured now; it’ll be hard for you to recover for a while. Why not come back with me first and go after healing?" Fujimura Reiko suggested.

"No, this matter is urgent; I must go immediately." Chen Guan was worried something might happen to Fu Tianji.

This accident doesn’t mean harm to Fu Tianji but fearing that he leaves too long, Fu Tianji might forget the obsession he has with him, making it difficult to use this powerful ally.

So he needed to hurry and bring Fu Tianji out.

"I’ll go with you; I can lend a hand," Fujimura Reiko said.

"No need, you focus on your tasks and find a suitable secret realm for our development." Chen Guan planned to expand into another secret realm.

Given his current identity, it was inconvenient to build his team in the Beimang Mountain Secret Realm, necessitating another base.

As the first member of his team, Fujimura Reiko would be one of many; they must not be exposed to the Celestial Court Army and Inspectorate.

As for Fujimura Reiko’s refusal to acknowledge Lian Sanshan as her grandfather, Chen Guan didn’t mind.

Whether she acknowledges it or not, with her mother there, this relationship can’t be cut.

After parting ways with Fujimura Reiko, Chen Guan headed towards the Golden Sand Desert.

He was severely wounded, feeling uncomfortable even riding the Ghost Eye, forcing him to summon the Ghost Palanquin and travel in solitude.

Sitting inside the Ghost Palanquin, Chen Guan operated the Secret Technique of One while consuming elixirs, hoping to accelerate his recovery.

With Ghost Eye and Rouged Lips as powerful weapons, Chen Guan didn’t need to take action in unexplored areas; the Paperman never acted, merely tagging along to level up.

Chen Guan presumed the Paperman levels up through death; the more creatures die nearby, the faster it levels up.

Without intent to slay Secret Spirits for leveling, he hurried towards the Nether Sea to find Fu Tianji.

He was unaware that Fu Tianji was no longer at the seaside.

Initially, Fu Tianji stayed obediently at the shore waiting for Chen Guan, but upon noticing Chen Guan’s ship disappeared, he used the Blood Escape Technique to rush into the Nether Sea, seeking Chen Guan.

Not long after entering the Nether Sea, Fu Tianji attracted the attention of the Underworld.

The Underworld charged at Fu Tianji; despite his Secret God Armor and weapons being strong, they couldn’t harm the specter-like non-corporeal Underworld.

Underworld entities surged into Fu Tianji’s body, occupying his consciousness and forming a collective consciousness.

Normally, Fu Tianji would degrade into the Nether, continuously transformed by the Underworld’s power.

However, Fu Tianji was an Undying Body, with a deep obsession, preventing the Underworld from erasing his will, thus halting his transformation.

Fu Tianji relied on his obsession, using the Blood Escape Technique to search the sea for Chen Guan and the Spirit King Ship. Despite more Underworld entities entering his body, the obsession remained unaffected.

Instead, the collective consciousness influenced by the obsession formed a consciousness resembling the Nether, yet different.

The Underworld’s power caused subtle changes in Fu Tianji’s body.

When his blood was exhausted, rendering the Blood Escape Technique unusable, his body descended into the Nether Sea.

The Nether, having waited long beneath the sea, immediately surged to tear apart Fu Tianji’s untransformed body.

Sink... endlessly sink...

Boom!

A purple-black light exploded from Fu Tianji, blasting surrounding Nether entities away, with seawater sprayed, and a purple-black beam erupted, shooting skyward like a volcanic eruption.

...

"Who am I... Where am I..." Fu Tianji opened his eyes, awakening but with a blank mind, unable to recall anything, yet feeling he needed to find someone.

"Who am I looking for?" Fu Tianji couldn’t remember, nor why he needed them, but felt the necessity to find them.

"Perhaps finding them will reveal my identity?" Fu Tianji thought to himself.

Fu Tianji sat up, discovering a girl with white hair tied into two braids, ragged clothes, seemingly eight or nine years old, staring at him with large black eyes without a blink.

"Who are you?" Fu Tianji asked the girl.

"I’m Xiaoqi, who are you?" The girl curiously surveyed Fu Tianji.

"I don’t know who I am," Fu Tianji shook his head. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Are you also a child abandoned by your parents?" Xiaoqi sounded delighted.

"Perhaps," Fu Tianji pondered.

"That’s great; I’m also a child they abandoned. Can we be friends?" Xiaoqi asked.

"Friends? Probably yes." Seeing Xiaoqi’s hopeful gaze, Fu Tianji nodded.

"We’re friends then." Xiaoqi cheerfully pulled Fu Tianji’s hand, "Let me give you a name. I named myself Xiaoqi, isn’t it nice? I can name you something nice too, how about Little Eight?"

"Sounds good." Seeing Xiaoqi’s hopeful expression, Fu Tianji nodded slightly; these mattered little to him since only finding the person mattered.

"You’re Little Eight from now on; Xiaoqi and Little Eight are forever friends." Xiaoqi joyfully held Fu Tianji’s hand, gazed into his identical black eyes.
