Chapter 608 Offering Fish 44
Taiwei Mountain
Lin Jiu stared intently at the figure not far ahead, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips: "Looks like we've come to the right place this time."
It turns out that she and Sima Jiao tracked them all the way here, entirely thanks to the latter's sensitivity to the spiritual fire.
The familiar face that appeared in front of them was an unexpected surprise—Shi Zhenxu, Shi Qianlu's biological son.
Lin Jiu didn't speak secretly, so Shi Zhenxu, who was not far from them, noticed him. A furious shout suddenly rang out: "Who's lurking around there? Get out here!"
Shi Zhenxu seemed to realize that someone was following her. She turned around abruptly, her sharp, hawk-like eyes scanning her surroundings, her face full of vigilance.
Compared to Shi Zhenxu's wariness, Lin Jiu and Sima Jiao were extremely calm. They strode forward without any attempt to hide their presence, walking directly in front of Shi Zhenxu.
Upon seeing this, Shi Zhenxu's expression changed drastically, and he involuntarily took several steps back.
Clearly, he was filled with fear and resentment towards the two people in front of him.
After all, it was because of these two people that the Shi family was plunged into such a desperate situation, and could only eke out a living.
However, despite the turmoil in her heart, Shi Zhenxu tried her best to calm herself down and roared through gritted teeth, "Sima Jiao, Lin Jiu! Why are you here? Release my father immediately, or don't blame me for seeking justice from you in the future!"
“I think we came here for the same reason as you, for that second cluster of spiritual fire, and now it belongs to us.” Lin Jiu’s lips curled up slightly, looking at Shi Zhenxu, who was full of anger but dared not make a move, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Sima Jiao, who was standing to the side, was displeased to see that Lin Jiu was focusing all her attention on another man.
Without saying a word, he suddenly stretched out his arm, grabbed Lin Jiu's slender shoulder, and pulled her tightly into his arms.
Immediately afterwards, Sima Jiao lowered his head, leaned close to Lin Jiu's ear, and whispered in a deep and magnetic voice, "A-Jiu, just look at me!"
Lin Jiu was caught off guard by his sudden action.
When she came to her senses, she found herself being forcibly pressed against Sima Jiao's chest, passively buried in his chest.
Helpless, she could only roll her eyes; this guy's jealousy had gotten the better of him again.
At this moment, Sima Jiao really didn't want to waste another second on this group of insignificant characters in front of him.
He let out a cold snort, his tone filled with disdain and annoyance: "Hmph! Noisy!"
Before he finished speaking, with a flick of his sleeve, an incomparably powerful spiritual energy suddenly erupted.
In an instant, Shi Zhenxu and the others were blown away as if by a hurricane, screaming as they flew backward and crashed heavily to the ground, unconscious.
After doing all this, Sima Jiao did not linger. Instead, he immediately transmitted his orders to Mo Ling via telepathy, instructing him to deal with the unconscious enemies and escort them back to the Three Sacred Mountains.
The entire process was completed in one smooth motion, so fast it was astonishing.
-
Lin Jiu had imagined countless times what form the second cluster of spiritual fire might take, but she never expected that it would choose Jiao Jiao's biological father, Sima Shi, as its dwelling place!
This was a truly astonishing discovery, completely beyond their expectations.
However, what truly astonished Lin Jiu was not just this.
When Sima Shi and Sima Jiao met for the first time, he seemed to have already anticipated it, showing no surprise whatsoever.
Instead, after rattling off a long string of words, he suddenly vanished in front of Lin Jiu and Sima Jiao!
Only the blazing spirit fire remained, suspended forlornly in the air.
The whole scene was so dramatic, it was just like those NPC characters in movies who complete their missions and gracefully retire.
If Lin Jiu hadn't prepared the Soul Nourishing Pearl before meeting Sima Shi, this NPC father would probably have truly disappeared from the world forever.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu couldn't help but secretly rejoice at her foresight. If Sima Shi had truly perished, it would undoubtedly have been another tragedy for Jiao Jiao.
