Chapter 1220: Qiuqiu’s Past IV
She… Suddenly remembered…
She was trampled by humans and pecked by birds, but a strong hand drove the birds away and moved her to a safe place.
Then, there was a drought, there was no rain for a long time, and she was so thirsty that she had almost lost her life.
It was that person who happened to pa.s.s by and had given her a pot of water.
The grace of dripping water should be repaid by a gushing spring.
Therefore…
When they met again later, she would have a chance… To repay the kindness she had received back then.
As Qiuqiu’s vision gradually blurred, she desperately opened her eyes, hoping to see… Her savior again.
Unfortunately…
She could not see that person anymore. She felt so weak and slowly closed her eyes…
The petals had stopped falling and had wrapped themselves around Qiuqiu’s body. Her long body shrunk smaller and smaller until the petals finally completely covered it.
When Feng Ruqing rushed over, she could only flip out a small pink flower beneath the petals.
The flower was pink and beautiful, but it was no longer able to… Speak to her with that gentle voice.
Feng Ruqing’s hand trembled. She was so careful, afraid that she would accidentally break the flower into pieces… And they would never see each other again in this life.
“I told you before that I would come back and take you away, but now… I’ll be able to take you with me, Qiuqiu.”
“Mother…” Fu Chen gently held Feng Ruqing’s hand. “She doesn’t have any spiritual qi anymore, and will never be able to transform into a human again. To become human again, it may take a hundred years or a thousand years, or… She might never be able to do it again.”
He and Qing Han were special.
If other spirit herbs wanted to be human… What they needed was… An opportunity.
Otherwise, the spirit herb would not have a soul and would never turn into a human again.
“It doesn’t matter if it will take a hundred years or a thousand years. She has the potential to return into a human form as long as she’s still alive. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t have the opportunity because I’ll create an opportunity for her. I’m sure Qiuqiu will come back to me eventually.”
This was the promise she had made to her.
Feng Ruqing carefully took out a box, laying the pink flower in her hand safely in the box before she kept it in the medium.
“Fu Chen, Qing Han, let’s go…”
“Alright.”
Fu Chen knew that Feng Ruqing was heartbroken, so he did not dare to say anything more. He held Feng Ruqing’s hand and followed her to the front.
Feng Ruqing was quiet along the way. Her face expressionless, but her steps were firmer than ever.
She was able to leave this place because Nan Xian had shielded her from the enemy that was approaching behind her.
And Qiuqiu had sacrificed herself to destroy the ancient tree for her.
She had to leave Fang Zhu Mainland no matter what! She would not waste their efforts…
And most importantly, Nan Xian was still waiting for her!
Fu Chen and Qing Han were as quiet as Feng Ruqing as they did not want to disturb her.
Only the huge pot was hovering and buzzing happily from the beginning to the end…
The sky was silent, just like how Feng Ruqing was feeling now.
Qing Han saw that Feng Ruqing was still quiet. She then turned to the huge cheerful pot, and suddenly became furious. Vines appeared from the ground, entangling the huge pot’s body before viciously flinging it away.
