Bank of The Universe

Chapter 156: Talking

On the island, the old priest used his extraordinary medical skills to save the girl’s grandfather.

“Thank you priest for saving me.” The old man was really weak. He forced open his eyes and said gratefully.

“It is okay. Your granddaughter is the one you have to thank. I only saved you because of her.” The old priest waved his hands.

“Thank you, Grandfather Priest.” The little girl saw her grandfather wake up and was delighted. She had a sweet smile on her face.

The old priest smiled too, “There is no need to thank me. Since your grandfather is awake, then we shall leave this place.”

“Priest, may I bother you to help me collect the snake’s neidan. I came for the neidan. Xiaoya’s mother has been poisoned and is unconscious and we need this five-colored serpent’s neidan to save her.” Xiaoya’s grandfather begged.

Xiaoya also knelt down in front of the old priest, “Grandfather Priest, please save my mother, we really need the neidan.”

The old priest agreed right away and hugged her. “You don’t need to kneel for me. You are so cute, so I will obviously agree. Take care of your grandfather. I will go get the neidan.”

The neidan was in the body of the snake. Now that the corpse was split into two, naturally, it was really simple to take it out.

The old priest returned really quickly with a white and tender neidan. It was like a cooked egg. The only difference was that it was several times larger.

“Keep this neidan sage. I will bring all of you out now.” The old priest grabbed Xiaoya and her grandfather and flew out of the mountain range.

....

In the Heaven and Earth Battlefield, there was a broken Mountain God Temple. What it paid respect to was the ancestor of the Taoist Faction. The old priest brought Xiaoya and her grandfather over to rest up.

The old priest also hunted a few mountain chickens and was prepared to barbecue them for Xiaoya.

While barbecuing the chicken, the old priest went to heat up water so that Xiaoya could bathe and change out of her dirty clothes. Xiaoya was now totally fresh.

A young and exquisite beauty appeared.

The more the old priest looked at her, the more he adored her. Maybe he was old, so he naturally liked all kids. Xiaoya was also really well behaved and did everything that the old priest made her do.

He told her to bathe, so she went. He told her to take care of her grandfather and she quietly took care of her grandfather.

The old priest really liked Xiaoya.

Peng!

A firecracker exploded in the bonfire and caused flames to burst out.

The bonfire lit up the area. The priest’s old face, Xiaoya’s exquisite little face, and her grandfather’s weak face were all lit up.

The three of them surrounded the bonfire and talked to one another.

The sky outside started to turn dark. The moon was covered by the dark clouds and the empty space outside was pitch black.

Within the Mountain God Temple, the old priest asked Xiaoya warmly, “What is your name?”

“Tian Ya, my nickname is Xiaoya.” Xiaoya smiled sweetly and said.

“This is my grandfather, Tian Yun.” Xiaoya introduced.

“Why would you enter the Heaven and Earth Battlefield along with your grandfather? It is just too dangerous.” The old priest shook his head. Xiaoya was just building her foundations and was at the Foundation Realm. Why would she enter the Heaven and Earth Battlefield?

Xiaoya said helplessly, “If I don’t enter, I will face danger. Also, I didn’t eve want to. I wanted to be by my mother’s side.”

The old priest looked towards Xiaoya’s grandfather Tian Yun.

Xiaoya caught his eye right away and he felt like she was like a family member of his. After spending time together, he really adored this little brat.

Maybe because he hadn’t had a wife and kids, the old priest never enjoyed the joy of family. Now that he saw Xiaoya, he suddenly felt the urge to dote on her like a granddaughter.

Xiaoya’s grandfather sighed. “I had no choice. Xiaoya’s father is missing and her mother was poisoned and doesn’t have much time left. Also, someone is targetting Xiaoya. I wanted to save her mother, so I had to enter Heaven and Earth Battlefield and get the five-colored snake’s neidan. But if I am not there, Xiaoya will be exposed. I had no choice but to seal her mother and bring Xiaoya into the Heaven and Earth Battlefield. Once I get the neidan, then I will go back to save her mother.”

“Unfortunately, the five-colored giant snake was so strong. I was not careful and got poisoned. Xiaoya tried her best to save me. As a grandfather, I am really useless.” Xiaoya’s grandfather blamed himself.

He was also at Countless Sands Realm, but he wasn’t as strong as the old priest. However, he was at stage 10.

Logically speaking, if he was slightly more careful, even if he couldn’t beat the snake he would be able to escape.

But after being poisoned, his body lacked strength and he was unable to flee at all. He could only lay there and wait for death.

After Tian Yun was poisoned, the five-colored giant snake didn’t kill Tian Yun right away. It planned to let the poison spread into his organs before swallowing him. Only then would he taste delicious.

Unfortunately, Xiaoya managed to get reinforcements.

“Who wants to attack your family?” The old priest frowned and asked. He saw how cute Xiaoya was especially when she combed her ponytails. She was so cute that people couldn’t bear to scold her. Who would actually dare to attack such a cute girl?

The old priest was furious!

Xiaoya was crestfallen. She stared at the bonfire and was filled with melancholy.

The 10-year old Xiaoya was mature like an adult. Maybe she had been through too much which resulted in her having to become mature.

Tian Yun sighed, “The people who attacked us were from Xiaoya’s mother’s family.”

Shocked, the old priest said, “A family feud!”

Tian Yun laughed bitterly and said, “Not only that. There exists the love between a rich family and a poor boy, but her family objected. They hunted them down, and now, even Xiaoya’s father is gone and her mother has been poisoned.”

The old priest sighed. “This is even more far fetched than I imagined.”

“But the kid is innocent.” The old priest looked at the sad and lonely Xiaoya and raged.

“Xiaoya’s grandfather wanted to snatch her away. I don’t know what they want to do but she is my granddaughter. Now that her father is lost and her mother has been poisoned, as her grandfather, I need to protect her.” Tian Yun said firmly.

“Not bad, you are responsible. Don’t worry Xiaoya, once I enter Eternal Land, you can contact me if you face problems. I will definitely help you solve it.” The old priest patted his chest.

“Is that so?” Xiaoya and Tian Yun looked at the old priest in surprise.

“Of course, I am really strong, even... even if I can’t solve it, don’t you still have your Granddad Deity?” The old priest said to Xiaoya.

Xiaoya said emotionally, “Right, there is still Granddad Deity. Grandfather priest is so strong and you have to listen to Granddad Deity, so he must be really strong.”

“Who is Granddad Deity?” Tianyun was lost.

“Don’t ask Xiaoya about Granddad Deity and I. You only need to know that Xiaoya is lucky and that we won’t hurt Xiaoya. If you annoy Granddad Deity and she misses this chance, then you will have hurt her for the rest of her life.” The old priest told him solemnly.

Tian Yun stopped right away and stopped interrupting.
