Chapter 342 The Reunion of the Purple Shark and His Daughter

Half-Demon Mountain

Mu Qing's flying leaves were of a very high grade, and with the help of the purple shark, Mu Qing and his group quickly arrived at the valley where several disciples of the half-demon sect were located.

As soon as the purple shark flew down from the flying leaf, it saw the shark pearl playing in the stream, splashing water everywhere.

Although the pearl's cultivation and memories were sealed, its body's latent instincts allowed it to recognize the purple-haired, purple-eyed purple shark at a glance.

The word "Father" came out of his mouth.

The small figure by the stream, like a swallow returning to its nest, rushed towards the purple shark. Long, sea-blue hair swayed behind her, rippling like waves. Her figure was light and graceful, and her aquamarine eyes sparkled with tiny lights.

With a flash, the purple shark scooped up the little shark pearl that was rushing towards him.

As always, they held the mermaid pearl high and twirled around. The warm yellow sunlight shone on the two people, one big and one small. Their purple and blue hairs intertwined, creating a dazzling effect on the two people embracing each other.

A silvery laugh emanated from the pearl's mouth, occasionally interspersed with a few deep, gentle laughs from the purple shark, echoing throughout the valley.

With its beautiful melody, it conveys a joyful atmosphere.

Qingzhu emerged from the cave in the valley and smiled upon seeing the scene within.

Several little kids who were picking fruit stopped what they were doing, their clothes filled with fruit, and turned around to stare blankly at Zi Jiao and Jiao Zhu.

The eldest child, Ying Li, caught sight of Ao Bupa, Mu Qing, and Murong Yu not far away out of the corner of his eye. Clutching the fruit in his pocket, he ran over happily, followed closely by the younger children, Tu Zhuangzhuang and Tu Xiaoxiao.

Ying Li ran over and handed the small, crimson fruit from her arms to Ao Bupa and the other two, her eyes sparkling as she looked at them.

Ao Bupa reached out and took the fruit from Ying Li, and shared some with Mu Qing and Murong Yu.

Then, he took out several plates of pastries that he had secretly hidden in the private room of Wanbaoge from his spatial bag and handed them to Yingli and the others.

Little Rabbit's eyes were glued to the pastries, unable to look away, while Strong Rabbit also pursed his lips, his gaze uncontrollably drifting towards the pastries.

Mu Qing also took out a bag of fruit candies from her spatial storage and handed it to the oldest child in front of her, Ying Li, so that they could share it.

The children happily accepted the food, intending to take it back and eat it with Qingzhu and the others.

They turned around and saw Qingzhu walking towards them.

The Zi Jiao father and daughter had finished playing and walked towards Ao Bupa and the others.

Zi Jiao led Jiao Zhu by the hand and walked up to Ao Bupa and the others.

Zi Jiao looked at Ao Bupa with a smile and said, "Thank you."

Ao Bupa quickly replied, "Senior Zijiao, you're too kind. I didn't do anything."

He paused, then added somewhat dejectedly, "Life in the Half-Demon Sect is tough, and the children suffer along with it. It's my fault."

Upon hearing this, the purple shark shook its head and said, "No."

“Fellow Daoist Ao, there’s no need to blame yourself. Although this place is poor, the children are all very happy. You’ve taken good care of them.”

After saying that, he expressed his gratitude to Mu Qing, Murong Yu, Qingzhu, and the children.

After expressing her gratitude, Zi Jiao planned to leave with the Jiao Pearl.

Mu Qing suddenly spoke up: "Fellow Daoist Zi Jiao, please wait."

As he spoke, he took out the Water Control Spirit Pearl from his spatial storage and handed it to the Mermaid Pearl.

Seeing this, the purple shark tried to speak up to stop it.

Mu Qing smiled and shook her head at him, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zi Jiao, there's no need to worry."

"Power itself is neither right nor wrong."

"The key is to look at the person who uses this power and what they do with it."

"It's like a precious sword; it can be used to save lives or to kill, depending on how the person wielding it acts."

"The Water Control Spirit Pearl is a treasure of the sea race and should be returned to them."

"Moreover, this pearl is destined for your daughter; it is her preordained opportunity."

Zi Jiao looked at the handsome and gentle young man in front of her and was deeply shocked.

For thousands of years, he had seen countless demon cultivators fight desperately for resources, but he had never seen one give away the resources they had already obtained to other cultivators with whom they had no connection.

Even ordinary resources, let alone treasures like the Water Control Spirit Orb.

If other cultivators were to learn of the whereabouts of the Water Control Spirit Pearl, countless cultivators would fight tooth and nail for it.

"I never thought there would actually be people in this world who would give away a treasure they've already obtained. Maybe human cultivators aren't all as treacherous and greedy as he previously thought," Zi Jiao thought to herself.
