PFC Chapter 678 As expected of the God of Food
Chapter 678 As expected of the God of Food
Qin Zhengwu had a heavy weight on his mind.
He clearly remembered that Youyou's main purpose in resolutely going to the perilous Second Heaven was to find the soul of her son, Qin Lie, who was trapped in the terracotta warrior and whose fate was unknown.
Later, some people from this continent also went to the second heaven. Those who surrendered to Youyou, such as Luo Lanxie, Luo Sexie, Wa Daha, and Wa Erha, also traveled back and forth between the subcontinent and Wujiu City many times.
However, they mostly only operated within Wujiu City and never set foot in the Qin family of Fengyu Kingdom.
Qin Zhengwu also sent people to inquire from various sources and vaguely obtained some fragmented information, saying that Lie'er seemed to have been found, but still existed in that cold terracotta figurine form...
Now, Youyou has returned in glory as the creator god, saving the world. So... what about his Lie'er? Has he also...?
Just as Qin Zhengwu was filled with mixed emotions and eagerly awaiting the light, another portal lit up!
His heart skipped a beat, and he looked on expectantly—
However, what emerged from the gate of light was not his long-awaited son, but a group of Qin family members who were weary from their journey but could not hide their excitement—Qin Zhengjiao, Qin Xiaorong, Qin Ye, and others who had followed Qin Youyou to the Second Heaven to expand their territory!
When they appeared, they were stunned and somewhat at a loss when they saw the room full of women, some standing and some sitting, many of whom had obvious injuries but exuded extraordinary aura.
Qin Zhengwu quickly suppressed his disappointment and stepped forward to introduce them: "Zhengjiao, Xiaorong, come and greet our ancestors! They are all ancestors of my Qin family who ascended to heaven and became the rulers of the Underworld City after their fall!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhengjiao and the others were immediately filled with reverence, their faces showing disbelief and immense excitement. They were all about to bow deeply and say, "Greetings, ancestors!"
Qin Yu and the others quickly raised their hands to help him up, saying, "No need for formalities, we're all family, please get up."
Seeing the prosperity and vitality of their descendants, the ancestral women's eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction and emotion. One after another, relatives arrived through the portal, making the hall increasingly lively, filled with laughter and joy.
However, Qin Zhengwu's gaze kept drifting towards the unlit gates of light, his heart overflowing with anticipation and anxiety. When would his youngest son, Qin Lie, finally return? Wan Feiping and Wei Yeming were equally restless; what had become of their daughter, Wei Jin?
Just as this anxious wait was about to reach its peak—
The last two light gates lit up almost simultaneously!
A vast and vibrant emerald green divine light flowed from the left-hand portal, and a figure as upright as a pine tree, with a resolute face yet a warm smile, slowly stepped out.
He was no longer a cold terracotta figurine, but possessed a perfect body that was as if carved from jade, yet more resilient and immortal than flesh and blood.
He exudes a refreshing and invigorating aura of life, as if everything around him comes alive simply by standing there.
It was Qin Lie who returned in perfect form, like a god of life!
"Lie'er!!!" Qin Zhengwu could no longer hold back, tears streaming down his face, his voice trembling uncontrollably.
Qin Lie strode forward and helped his father, who was so excited he could barely stand, his eyes also brimming with tears: "Father! Your unfilial son... has returned!"
The father and son embraced tightly, patting each other's backs forcefully.
All the longing and worry turned into scalding tears at this moment.
The Qin family ancestors watched from the sidelines, having already learned about Qin Lie's experience of being brought back from the dead from Qin Zhengjiao and the others. They were filled with both emotion and heartache.
Wan Feiping and Wei Yeming couldn't contain their excitement either; their son-in-law had returned.
And he's no longer a terracotta figurine; he's returned perfectly fine. What about Jin'er? Has her madness also been cured?
"Oh right, Jin'er!" Qin Lie turned around and hurriedly looked at another portal of light. The portal resembled a wriggling esophagus, from which a very beautiful woman slowly emerged.
"It's Jin'er!" Wan Feiping and Wei Yeming nervously grasped each other's hands.
Has Jin'er recovered?
Hmm, the gait is very elegant, +1 for good.
Hmm, the hair is neatly combed, normal +2.
Hmm, the expression on his face is very serious, normal +3.
Just as Wan Feiping and his wife were about to jump up excitedly, Wei Jin suddenly saw something outrageous, his eyebrows shot up in anger, and he jumped up before them!
"Ha, you're hogging it all! Give it to me!" She jumped onto the bare table like a toad, her mouth opening wide and instantly becoming the size of a sack.
One bite!
Just one bite!
He then stuffed everything on the table into his mouth!
Including food, including plates, including... bald heads.
Everyone:! ! !
Wan Feiping: Petrochemical.
Wei Yeming: Petrochemical.
The Qin family ancestors and everyone else: collectively petrified.
Wei Jin: Chew.
Chew chew chew.
Chew, chew, chew.
Hmm? Why is there something inside that I can't eat?
"yue... Ugh!"
A bald, wet head was vomited out.
The poor little black phoenix was so frightened that he turned into a little whirlwind, his eyes filled with immense terror.
He clutched his head, slammed his head against the wall with a thud, and rushed out!
"what------"
He then clutched his head and crashed into the wall from the other side with a loud thud, rushing back.
"what------"
Bang!
"ah--------"
Bang!
"ah------------"
Everyone's heads followed suit, turning left, right, left, right.
Finally, Baldy's screams all turned into one: "The crazy woman is back! Aaaaaah!"
■
Seeing Wei Jin still acting erratically, the hope in Wan Feiping and Wei Yeming's eyes dimmed, turning into deep disappointment and heartache.
Wei Ji and Wei Yun, the two older brothers, looked at each other and sighed in unison.
Why is this so?
My brother-in-law Qin Lie has come back from the dead, so why is there no sign of improvement in my sister's not-so-serious mental illness?
Qin Lie and Qin Jiyu, however, had relatively calm expressions.
They knew very well that with Youyou's current abilities, curing a mere madness was just a matter of a word or a thought.
But why... did she delay seeking treatment?
In the suddenly somber atmosphere, Qin Youyou came out again carrying several large plates of dishes.
She looked up and saw her dear mother squatting on the table, chewing.
Her relatives around her all looked at her with suspicion.
Qin Youyou froze abruptly.
"Um... I know what you're going to ask." She shrank back a little guiltily, her eyes darting around.
She muttered softly, "Well... actually... curing Mother isn't difficult now..."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Yes, Youyou, let us witness a miracle!"
Seeing everyone's expectant gazes, Qin Youyou shrank her neck even further and weakly explained:
“Grandmother…you…you’ve forgotten…my mother…before she went mad, she actually…had a bit of OCD, quite severe…”
Her voice trailed off as she spoke, "If she ever came to her senses and remembered how, as the God of Food, she would stuff anything that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, or swam in the water—anything strange and unusual—into her mouth, and she even... she almost chewed up her bald head..."
Qin Youyou secretly glanced at Baldy, who had stopped crying and was hiding behind her, trembling.
"I'm the one who made her the God of Cookery. Once she wakes up, she'll definitely beat me to a pulp..."
Everyone: "..."
I never expected this reason...
Qin Lie shuddered as he listened to Youyou's description.
No one knew Jin'er's prowess better than him.
Taking advantage of Jin'er's mental decline, he tricked her into taking advantage of him...
Although the couple had made love thousands of times in the past, the situation was different now. Although Jin'er also liked it very much, if she were to regain her senses, he would probably be the first to suffer.
“Youyou is right. There’s no rush. We need to proceed slowly and let Jin’er prepare herself mentally first.” Qin Lie expressed his complete agreement with his daughter’s approach.
Everyone turned their heads in a flash.
Something seems off about this guy.
Hmm... why is he blushing?
Something's even more wrong now!
Everyone was puzzled, feeling that Qin Lie seemed to be acting guilty, but they just couldn't figure out what he was guilty of.
Qin Jiyu scratched his head: "That's not right, Father. How could you support Youyou? Don't you love Mother the most? Don't you love to talk with Mother all night long? How can you talk to her like this?"
"Of course I love your mother the most. Taking things slowly is for your mother's good." Qin Lie glared at him: "You brat, if you don't understand, shut up."
Besides, what kind of heart-to-heart talk is this?
This brat was so clueless when he was little, always asking why he couldn't sleep with him and Jin'er. That's why he came up with this excuse to lie to the child, saying that he and Jin'er were going to have a heart-to-heart talk all night and were afraid of disturbing his growth.
Qin Jiyu was taken aback by her father's fierce expression, her mind filled with questions.
Qin Youyou nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, Father is right. We should proceed gradually, allowing Mother to gradually wake up and accept the new version of herself."
Sensing the disapproving looks from the crowd, she knew that her reason was not strong enough.
He added, "However, dragging this out like this is really not a solution..."
He coughed twice, as if he had made up his mind: "Actually, I still need my mother to do one thing. Once she helps me resolve this last little problem, I will immediately help her gradually regain her senses."
"Do something?" Everyone was taken aback, and at the same time, a thought arose in their minds: Now that the Star Clan has been eliminated and the country is at peace, what else needs to be done?
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Qin Youyou took a deep breath, her expression becoming more serious:
"Although the Star Clan has been wiped out on this continent, some remnants still lurk in the universe. What's more troublesome is that since my soul shattered, most of the resentment, malevolence, and other turbid energy that have sprung up in the world have been absorbed by these Star Clan members. They are like walking sources of filth, and if they are not thoroughly eliminated, they will eventually become a scourge, polluting countless planes."
She looked at Wei Jin, a complex yet resolute light flashing in her eyes: "And now that Mother is the God of Food, her divine status is special, she can devour all things in heaven and earth, turning decay into wonder. Coupled with Qiongqi, which is also known for its devouring abilities... we will surely be able to purify this turbid energy and completely eradicate the remnants of the Star Clan."
“If Mother were to regain her senses, and I were to let her devour these Star Clan members, she wouldn’t refuse for the greater good, but I… I’m afraid she’d find it disgusting.”
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression turned serious.
“But…” Wan Feiping glanced at his daughter with concern, “Youyou, in this vast universe, how can we accurately locate those hidden remnants of the Star Clan? And how can we ensure the safety of Jin’er and Qiongqi?”
Qin Youyou raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile that showed she was in control of everything: "Grandmother, don't worry, I have my own way."
She paused, her tone becoming more relaxed: "Of course, this isn't urgent. Right now..."
Her gaze shifted to the kitchen, where the aroma was growing stronger, and she blinked. "I need to finish making the big meal I promised Baldy first. Then, our Qin family needs to have a proper, lively reunion feast!"
After saying that, she turned around and plunged back into the kitchen. With the power of creation in motion, the pots and pans seemed to come alive, and dishes containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and endless deliciousness were presented at an astonishing speed.
Soon, an unprecedented family banquet officially began in the Qin family's main hall.
The long dining table was laden with a dazzling array of dishes, each radiating an enticing sheen and an incredible aroma, its subtle Taoist essence bringing joy to everyone present.
Although the main character is still Baldy, this time, everyone can finally get a share of the pie and taste the rare and delicious food cooked by the creator god himself.
How much enlightenment or nourishment they can gain from these dishes depends on their own fate.
Inside the Qin family's main hall, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.
At this moment, only family reunion and delicious food should not be missed.
■
Two days later.
After leaving Phoenix Feather Kingdom, Qin Youyou did not return to the Second Heaven. Instead, she strolled to the summit of a tranquil mountain range outside Wujiu City. She looked down upon this land that had returned to peace, her eyes gleaming with a faint starlight, as if she were pondering her next move.
Before long, a figure, slightly hurried yet extremely respectful, quietly appeared behind her.
The prophet Zhao Xun strode forward, and a few steps away from her, he bowed without hesitation, almost prostrating himself, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement and absolute loyalty: "Master..."
However, he did not actually bow down.
A gentle yet irresistible force gently supported him.
Qin Youyou turned around, looked at him with a smile, and shook her head: "Zhao Xun, there's no need for this between us."
Zhao Xun straightened up, his face still showing reverence, but with more relief and emotion.
After two days of rest, his mental strength, which had been depleted by the battle, has been fully recovered.
“My lord,” he said solemnly, “I have fully grasped the power of the prophetic god that you have bestowed upon me, and… I know everything that happened back then.”
He gazed at the brilliant starry sky, "Back then, my Sawu clan, those ancient celestial sorcerers, perished at the hands of the Star Clan and the Temple of Holy Light after you entered the cycle of reincarnation, but they... had already foreseen the calamity that is about to befall us."
"They exhausted all their soul power and scattered the essence of prophecy—the Sawu Great Evolution Technique—into the orbit of the stars. Only the purest Sawu bloodline can trigger the inheritance when it is truly recognized by the starry sky."
He recalled the time when he first met Qin Youyou.
"The moment I chose to follow you to the death, the stars in the sky seemed to be stirred, and the vast and boundless Sa Wu Da Yan Technique descended from billions of starlight, directly imprinting itself into the depths of my soul."
"Now, the divine fusion is complete, the authority is intact, and the Great Evolution Technique is finished." Zhao Xun's tone was full of confidence. "In my eyes, the distribution of the pure and turbid energies in the universe is as clear as the lines on the palm of my hand."
“I can trace the Star Clan’s past escape routes, discern their current hiding places, and even deduce their possible future escape routes! Master, I can guide you in the clearest direction to eliminate the remaining evil!”
