Chapter 2094: Chapter 2092: Intertwined Time and Space, Transformed Life (40)

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly opened the door to welcome her little uncle inside, and then brewed tea for him.

Little Uncle was as dignified as the Immortals above, and she held him in reverence. She thought, if she could have met Little Uncle earlier in that life, perhaps none of this tragedy would have happened.

But this thought disappeared as quickly as it had come.

Because she knew that thinking like this was selfish; perhaps fate was already predestined.

Gu Qiaoqiao sat quietly across from her little uncle, looked at him calmly, and softly asked, “Little Uncle, is there something you want to discuss with me?”

Gu Junbai nodded.

Then, with a slight motion of his hand, a white, gleaming object appeared in his palm, resembling both a pearl and a glutinous rice ball. Though it looked beautiful, Gu Qiaoqiao did not know what it was.

With a questioning glance at Gu Junbai, he softly said, “Qiaoqiao, I specifically found this for you. It’s called Soul Condensing Pills.”

At this, Gu Junbai paused, and after surveying Gu Qiaoqiao briefly, continued, “In any world, you have the bloodline of the Gu Family; it’s just that you did not activate it in that life. Eating this will activate your bloodline’s Spiritual Energy, and Little Uncle will teach you some talismans, for how can you be my successor, Gu Junbai, and know nothing?”

As he finished speaking, Gu Junbai’s voice was extremely gentle, almost as if coaxing a child. Towards the Qiaoqiao of this world, he always had a unique tolerance.

This child had it too hard.

Gu Junbai’s voice brought some warmth to Gu Qiaoqiao’s desolate heart, but she had already made up her mind, though she mustn’t let Little Uncle discover it.

So, Gu Qiaoqiao stepped forward to pick up the object her little uncle called the Soul Condensing Pills, which resembled a glutinous rice ball. Once in her hand, a warm current seemed to flow through her fingertips into her body, as though enveloping her cold heart gradually with warmth.

She didn’t know why, but her earlier pessimistic thoughts seemed to have faded significantly.

Then, she looked up to see her little uncle’s gentle eyes, though those eyes seemed mild, Gu Qiaoqiao felt that her little uncle could see through everything.

And he seemed to understand her thoughts.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao bit her lip, and Gu Junbai did not rush her, instead, he picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao’s courtyard was silent; when she was alone in the room, no one disturbed her, and naturally, it was the same now.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao could even hear her heart thudding; although everything seemed unreal, yet everything was so real.

In her hand was something akin to what an Immortal would have in TV dramas and novels. Eating it would activate the Gu Family bloodline?

But she was someone on her last breath; what use would it be to activate the Gu Family bloodline?

Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated; she felt this thing was so precious, it would be a waste to use it on someone like her.

She moved her lips, about to say something, when unexpectedly Gu Junbai set down his teacup and suddenly spoke, “Qiaoqiao, whether you eat it or not, Little Uncle won’t force you. But Little Uncle wants to tell you not to give up easily. Sometimes death is awfully simple and a release, but living is hard.

I also have to tell you, that Qiaoqiao, in your world, wouldn’t stand by idly; she would surely do something. If you give up your life so easily, Little Uncle would really be disappointed. Don’t think of the Soul Condensing Pills as overly precious; they were originally found by Little Uncle for you, and you are indeed my heir in the Gu family. The same Soul Condensing Pills would be useless for Qianqian and Zishu, but different for you.”

Gu Qiaoqiao bowed her head, looking at the Soul Condensing Pills in her hand. Little Uncle actually wasn’t a person who loves to talk; apart from the things he told her on the first day, he rarely spoke after that.

Today he said so much, and she certainly understood what Little Uncle meant, although she didn’t know how Little Uncle could see through her death wish. But thinking of Little Uncle, such a person, her ordinary thoughts like those should be obvious to him.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao felt a bit ashamed, and whispered, “Little Uncle, if it ended up being useless after I ate it, wouldn’t it spoil your good intentions?”

“It’s just a Soul Condensing Pills; even if it doesn’t activate your bloodline, so what? Besides, Little Uncle never does anything without confidence.”

No matter which Gu Qiaoqiao it was, she was never indecisive. If she decides, she does. Sometimes this behavior can be interpreted as impulsive.

Just like the time she fell in love at first sight with Qin Yize, without a thought, the only thought was to marry him. At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao also knew there was no need to say anything more.

So she took the Soul Condensing Pills and without hesitation, put it in her mouth. Gu Qiaoqiao thought she’d nibble at it like a rice ball or might find it like a sugar pill, but never had she imagined this thing was truly magical. It melted immediately, and not into juice but into a gas, suddenly disappearing down her throat.

Then, seemingly beyond her control, it transformed into strands of gas, wandering through her body. Within moments, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to be enveloped by a cloud, yet the room was still the same room, the courtyard unchanged, but she felt entirely different.

Gu Junbai stood up, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao with satisfaction, nodded slowly, and softly said, “Qiaoqiao, Little Uncle indeed did not misjudge you. You are indeed a successor of the Gu Family.”

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t noticed the bigger change, but she knew something definitely felt different.

Then Little Uncle had her try carving something on a stone.

All the tools were actually stored by Gu Qiaoqiao in a space; there’s nothing here. But Gu Junbai had these things in his storage bag since he too walked down the path of carving due to having Spiritual Energy in his fingers.

It could even be said that carving led to Spiritual Energy in his fingers; exactly why is long forgotten as the years passed.

But his set of carving tools was already many years old, the same material as Qiaoqiao’s, and of the same vintage, although Gu Qiaoqiao’s set was used longer while his had been rarely used in recent years.

Thus, he took them out for Gu Qiaoqiao and had her personally carve something for him to see.
