Qin Yining carried little Shi Hao into Stone Village

The Stone Village elder, upon seeing the couple, approached them, inquired about their needs, and then led them into the village. 😎🐨 ♢🐻

Qian Ye smiled but didn't follow immediately.

However, the villagers had already followed to see what was going on.

Qian Ye seemed to have been forgotten by them, and she remained alone in the same spot.

He turned back to look at the willow tree, touched its trunk, and said, "Willow Deity, it seems a new person has arrived."

"Then why don't you go and take a look?" Willow Deity said aloofly.

Qian Ye: "So you've already figured out that Little Dot is unusual, right?"

"Yes, he is indeed different. Although his Supreme Being Bone was taken away, it may not be a bad thing. Phoenix rebirth, death and resurrection, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Although this incident cut off his life for the time being, it also paved the way for his path to supreme power."

"But..." Willow Deity hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"But what?" Qian Ye pressed.

I see.

As expected, the Willow Deity recognized his extraordinary qualities as soon as he entered the village from Little Dot.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken such good care of him.

Qian Ye pressed, "But what?"

"But how did you know he was extraordinary?" Willow Deity asked curiously.

The reason is simple: even she couldn't gauge the depth of the person in front of her.

Qian Ye: "Yes, I can tell. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Reincarnation is a skill. I know the Little Dot's parents. The man is called Shi Ziling. He's exceptionally talented, with superhuman Divine Power. He single-handedly defeated everyone in the Martial King's Manor's Mansion, killed over a hundred elders, and caused chaos in the Martial King's Manor. But you wouldn't be unaware of the recent major events in the Stone Kingdom, would you, Willow Deity?"

"And Little Dot's grandfather, known as the Old Devil King, is the strongest member of the Stone Clan of the Martial King's Manor. He could easily defeat the entire Martial King's Manor by himself, which is common knowledge in the Stone Kingdom. However, he went to the forest to hunt Suanni cub some time ago, but he was no match for it and was chased by the Suanni cub, fleeing in a sorry state. His whereabouts are unknown. So, with such a grandfather and parents, how bad could Little Dot be?"

"Let's talk about this Little Dot. Natural-Born Supreme bones and extraordinary talent, surpassing even his parents and grandparents. Although his bones were removed, he didn't die. Instead, he rejuvenated, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Don't you think he's extraordinary?"

"So, you're not an ordinary person either?" Willow Deity bluntly stated.

Qian Ye: "You noticed that? I really admire you. I do look a little different from others because I'm just a tiny bit more handsome."

"So, who are you, and why do you know about Little Dot?" Willow Deity pressed.

Qian Ye: "Because I just came from the Martial King's Manor, I've naturally heard some things secondhand."

"I see." Willow Deity continued, "I've taken a look at this Little Dot. Although I can't foresee his future destiny, I've seen his extraordinary qualities. He is indeed a genius born with unusual bones."

"Although his Supreme Being Bone Supreme Being Bone was dug out, it was dispensable to him. Moreover, like the phoenix rising from the ashes, he was reborn from the dead, his bloodline beginning anew, endlessly regenerating. It's likely that he possessed more than one Supreme Being Bone, and that it could regenerate. Because of his unique bloodline, only this bone could be nurtured and born."

"Others, even if they were to have his Supreme Being Bone grafted onto them, would be unable to nurture a true Supreme Being Bone due to congenital deficiencies in their bloodline, thus their strength would be greatly diminished."

"Double Pupils are an invincible path; why nurture someone else's bones? In the end, it will only add to the troubles, a wasted effort, and his birth mother remains stubbornly deluded!"

Qian Ye laughed and said, "It seems you already knew about the great and Little Stone geniuses of the Martial King's Manor?"

"I am Willow Deity, so naturally I know some of the laws first. However, the Shi family is indeed an extraordinary lineage, and this generation has produced two supreme geniuses. But two tigers cannot share one mountain. Double Pupils and Supreme Being Bone are inherently incompatible, and they will fight to the death. In the future, one of them will surely fall to make way for the other."

The Willow Deity is truly Willow Deity; she has foreseen the future.

Qian Ye: "So, Willow Deity, are you saying that the Stone Clan already has one supreme genius with Double Pupils, and having another Supreme Being Bone genius is not a good thing, but rather superfluous and redundant, creating a vicious cycle where one side dies to benefit the other?"

"Yes, it is indeed superfluous, so one becomes a stepping stone for the other. Although it is unfair, the will of Heaven is hard to defy. There is no fairness in this world, let alone under the Heavenly Dao. The strong prey on the weak, and life goes on and on. This is the law of the Great Dao. Under the Heavenly Dao, all living beings are but ants."

As expected of Immortal King, he knows a great deal.

"Willow Deity, as the saying goes, heavenly secrets should not be revealed. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for telling me so much?" Qian Ye couldn't help but tease.

The willow branch swayed, pointing to the remaining half of the lightning-struck wood, and said, "It's already been struck by lightning, what am I afraid of? No matter how many times it's struck, it's still lightning-struck wood!"

"That makes sense." Qian Ye gave Willow a thumbs up. "Alright, Willow Deity, let's talk again tomorrow. Now I need to go check out that Little Dot."

Then they walked into the village.

Watching his retreating figure, Liu Shu muttered to himself, "This young man... I can't fathom his true strength, yet he seems to know quite a lot. At first glance, he appears to be just an ordinary person, and upon closer inspection, he's still just an ordinary person. He lacks any cultivation or powerful innate talent or bloodline, yet he knows so much. Could it be that he's truly just an ordinary person? And that all he knows is just hearsay?"

With her abilities, she naturally couldn't discern Qian Ye's true strength.

It's clear that she's not the Willow Deity, but the Willow Saint.

Council Hall of Stone Village, the old clan chief had already had tea served to Mr. and Mrs. Shi Ziling.

"May I ask what brings you two here?" After taking a sip of tea, the old clan chief spoke frankly and got straight to the point.

The couple exchanged a glance, and then Shi Ziling bowed to the old clan chief and told him the whole story, including Little Dot's ordeal.

The old clan chief was furious and disgusted upon hearing this, and he also stood up for Little Dot, asking, "So how do you plan to save him?"

Shi Ziling and Qin Yining exchanged a glance. "We need to find a way to save him, but it's inconvenient and dangerous to bring him along. Besides, his current physical condition can't withstand the hardships of travel, so my wife and I came to the ancestral land to find you. We plan to entrust the child to you, clan chief, for temporary care. Is that alright?"

I see!

The old clan chief nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Ta-da-da~

Suddenly, footsteps echoed from the doorway into the Council Hall.

The three looked over and saw that the newcomer was a handsome man.

Shi Ziling and Qin Yining glanced at him but didn't pay much attention. They assumed he was a villager from Stone Village, not an outsider.

However, the old clan chief glanced at him, his face expressionless, and recognized him as the stranger who had slept under the willow tree the night before.

Qian Ye walked directly into the Council Hall, sat down next to Qin Yining, and glanced at the Little Dot in her arms. It was indeed eight or nine months old Little Stone Hao.

Now, after Yu Yunxi had his Supreme Being Bone removed, he shrank back to the size of an infant. He looked at him with curiosity and then suddenly giggled.

He wasn't as energetic as before, and when he wasn't smiling, he looked sickly, like a kite with a broken string, his face as pale as paper, devoid of any color.
