Chapter 489: It wasn't Fu Tianyou who did the chop, it was Jiang Min.

"How did you get this injury on your face? How did you manage to cut it so precisely?" After the father and daughter had finished their affectionate interaction, Meng Zhengcheng asked.

Having handled so many cases, Meng Zhengcheng can honestly say that when criminals want to commit violence, they usually aim for vulnerable areas like the skull or the heart; they rarely aim for the face.

The wound on Qiao Changdong's face looked as if he had been lying still, with his neck stretched out, when someone had slashed it.

"My injury wasn't inflicted by Fu Tianyou, it was inflicted by Jiang Min," Qiao Changdong replied helplessly.

Qiao Changdong didn't have Shen Qingyan's abilities, and he really didn't intend to get involved in dealing with Fu Tianyou at first.

But this time, the child who was taken away by Fu Tianyou was Jiang Min.

At the time, he was taking Jiang Min to the hospital for a follow-up examination when they encountered Fu Tianyou, who was desperate and resorting to violence, on their way back.

He was afraid of Jiang Min's death, not only because he was reluctant to part with the life, but more so because he feared that Jiang Min's death would trigger a series of butterfly effects.

They will restore the situation they finally managed to reverse in this life to the same state as in the previous life.

Of course, he couldn't possibly watch a child being taken hostage in front of him and do nothing but turn around and run away. Would he still be a man?

Then he and Jiang Min were taken hostage by Fu Tianyou all the way to Nanshi.

When they arrived in Nanshi, Shen Qingyan's team and support from all sides had already arrived.

Fu Tianyou knew evil magic, but it seemed to only work on Jiang Min. Jiang Min became obedient to him after Fu Tianyou touched his forehead with blood from his finger.

He was also targeted by Fu Tianyou, but there was no reaction at all.

Qiao Changdong felt that this might be related to his frequent contact with his daughter's spiritual spring water.

After taking them to Nanshi, Fu Tianyou realized he couldn't control him with evil magic, so he decided to kill him directly.

Suddenly, the other party pulled out a large cleaver that was forty or fifty centimeters long and charged at him without any regard for martial ethics!

Fortunately, he was quite agile and managed to dodge it with quick movements.

Moreover, in the past six months, in order not to be outdone by Shen Qingyan in his beloved daughter's eyes, he has made sure to exercise whenever he has free time.

In addition to the little tricks he learned from Grandpa Mo a few years ago, he actually gained the upper hand when fighting Fu Tianyou, even though Fu Tianyou's evil magic was ineffective against him.

Not only did he chop off Fu Tianyou's large cleaver with his bare hands, but he also pressed down on Fu Tianyou's face, punching him in the eye until he had a black eye.

He forgot that there was a Jiang Min who was under the control of evil magic among them at the time.

Fu Tianyou used evil magic to control Jiang Min, who then picked up the large cleaver and slashed at him.

At that time, Qiao Changdong was still suppressing Fu Tianyou who was punching his face. When he sensed something was wrong, he looked up and was hit squarely by Jiang Min.

And it seemed like there was something smeared on the knife.

The moment he was struck, he felt all the strength drain from his body, and he lost consciousness.

"That layer of black mist is moldy mist." The giant tortoise, having just been summoned by Qiao Qiao, overheard Qiao Changdong recounting his injury and explained.

[Master, this is the same dark aura as that on your own father's father.]

They have all been cleansed by your spiritual spring water, making it virtually impossible for Fu Tianyou to borrow luck from them, but he can certainly bring them bad luck.

As for Qiao Changdong, after suffering such a serious injury, if he were to encounter even more bad luck, one can imagine how severe the consequences would be.

Fortunately, Qiao Qiao had already started cultivating with Qiao Changdong and they had eaten a lot of fruits and vegetables with spiritual energy, which allowed him to maintain his breath until Qiao Qiao came to save him; otherwise, he would have died long ago.

Qiao Changdong's condition has stabilized.

The group was now in a better mood to continue discussing what to do next.

The primeval forest that Fu Tianyou used as a natural barrier is called Maishan.

The mountains are perpetually filled with miasma, which is harmful to health.

Moreover, even without this miasma, the venomous insects, snakes, and various large beasts inside are not something an ordinary person can easily enter.

Qiao Qiao asked the big turtle if there was any good solution.

【Master, you may enter.】

Those miasma and poisonous insects are useless against you. Your true form is that of a dragon, and your cultivation is already top-tier in this world. Even birds of prey will give you a wide berth and would not dare to harm you.

Qiao Qiao suddenly realized.

Yes, she's forgotten that she's a dragon!

Leaving aside the cultivation continent, even just in the mythology of the Flower Kingdom, the dragon is the king of all things and the head of all spirits!

What is she afraid of?

Qiao Qiao's small chest immediately puffed out.

【Master, Xiao Huanhuan can accompany you inside. Your transformation is just a little bit short. There's a lot of spiritual energy in that forest; perhaps your breakthrough is just a hair's breadth away.】

It was certainly not an easy task for Qiao Qiao to enter the Haze Mountain.

First, she had to persuade her two fathers who treated her like their own life.

"Baby, no!"

Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Shen Qingyan refused without hesitation, his attitude was firm and his expression was serious.

"Sweetie, if you go in, you're taking three lives with you, do you understand?"

Qiao Changdong's tone wasn't as harsh as Shen Qingyan's, and he didn't directly refuse, but the meaning behind his words was clearly one of disapproval.

"Yes, sweetie, we know you're amazing, but no matter how amazing you are, in our eyes you're still just a child. If you go in and we stay outside, how can we feel at ease?"

Meng Zhengcheng affectionately patted the little girl's two little tufts of hair that stood up like cannonballs on her head, and gently reasoned with her.

After explaining the reasons, I tried to appeal to her emotions.

"And if your aunt finds out, your uncle will definitely be kneeling on the washboard when he gets back. Do you want to see your uncle kneeling on the washboard?"

“That’s right, Qiaoqiao, let’s think of another way. If you really get in, and Aunt Xiang finds out, Uncle Pei won’t get away with it either.” Pei Anting chimed in.

Qiao Qiao was not surprised that all four adults disagreed.

Just as the four adults said, no matter how high her cultivation level or how much spiritual power she has, in their eyes, she is still a child.

How could they just stand by and watch her go into such a dangerous place alone?

The turning point came on June 4th.

June 4th.

It was the date Shen Qingrong and Bi Yatong were executed by firing squad.

At 7:00 AM on June 4th.

Qiao Qiao was awakened by a loud clap of thunder outside.

Summer is often filled with thunderstorms, so thunder is not unusual.

Strangely, after being awakened by the thunder, Qiao Qiao subconsciously looked up at the window.

But they found that the sky outside the window was clear and the bright sunlight shone into the room through the gauze curtains, with no sign of rain at all.

Qiao Qiao wondered to herself, "Is this going to be a sun shower?"
