【 This sister is truly beautiful; one can tell at a glance that she is a kind-hearted person. 】
Senior Sister Du Yue’s eyes widened slightly—
That voice, it really was her!
"Little Treasure, are you cold? Are you hungry? I am Senior Sister Du Yue. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just cry out a few times," she asked in a softened voice.
Saying this to any other baby would be like playing the lute to a cow, but the baby before her was clearly different. Perhaps... it was because of her extraordinary Talent?
In any case, she could definitely understand.
As soon as Mo Jiuwei opened her mouth, it was an "Eeya" sound.
【 Not cold, not hungry! 】
Mo Jiuwei felt around and knew that she had been well cared for by them while she was asleep.
Thinking of how they had painstakingly scraped together those bits of food and clothing for her, Mo Jiuwei felt a warmth in her heart—
【 It is a pity that I am too weak right now and cannot do anything. When I grow up a bit, I will definitely repay your Xianlai Sect! 】
Senior Sister Du Yue chuckled.
What a little Treasure who knows how to repay kindness!
She did not take these words to heart, because Mo Jiuwei was just an abandoned baby with a disability; what could she possibly do to help the Xianlai Sect?
Moreover, whether the Xianlai Sect could even hold on until she grew up was another matter entirely.
The argument outside was still continuing, and Mo Jiuwei cried out in a bit of a hurry—
【 I want to go out and watch the excitement! 】
Senior Sister Du Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "Let's go, Senior Sister Du will take you out."
【 That is great, Senior Sister Du really understands my heart! 】
"...Still no money? Fine. I see that sword of hers is barely worth a few dozen Crystal Stones. I will show some kindness and use it to pay off one hundred of the debt. If you are willing, I will grant you an extension of one more month for the remaining amount!"
Just as they came out, Mo Jiuwei saw a sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked Middle-aged Male Cultivator reach out and point abruptly at the Sword at a Female Cultivator's waist.
Mo Jiuwei remembered that this Female Cultivator was the one who had used her only Magic Robe to wrap her up and keep her warm; she seemed to be surnamed Ji.
Ji Qingqing’s expression changed, and she subconsciously gripped the sword in her hand tighter.
"No, that is the only remaining Family Heirloom of Junior Nephew Ji. How can it be used to pay off your debt!" Uncle Liu said angrily.
This person was truly bullying them too much. Junior Nephew Ji’s sword was worth at least several thousand Crystal Stones, yet he demanded it for a mere one hundred.
If this wasn't taking advantage of a crisis, what was?
"Heh, then do you have anything else of value?" Zheng Cheng sneered.
The members of the Xianlai Sect all fell into silence.
Their Sect was already struggling to survive, and they only kept going because they did not want to break the lineage or destroy the hard work of their ancestors.
Over these years, in order to maintain the Mountain Gate, everyone had long since exhausted all their savings, and any Magic Robes or Magic Tools that could be sold had already been sold.
It could be said that everyone didn't even have extra money to eat a good meal!
In this situation, what could they use to pay him back?
Ji Qingqing bit her lower lip, her expression filled with reluctance as she looked at the sword, but in the end, she took a deep breath and prepared to speak.
At the same time, Mo Jiuwei looked at this person surnamed Zheng, her expression shifting slightly—
【 This person is going to Qingfeng Slope tomorrow and will die in the mouth of a Sunny Tiger Beast. Paying him back is just a waste. 】
【 If only I could get them to delay the debt until tomorrow, that would be great. Then, it would be natural and right not to have to pay it back at all. 】
The members of the Xianlai Sect were shocked, and they suddenly turned their heads to look at Mo Jiuwei.
【 Eh? Why are you looking at me? I am not even crying or making a fuss. 】
Senior Sister Du Yue stepped forward and was the first to speak, "We can pay you back, but you must give us a few days to gather the money. We will definitely pay you then."
"That is right, how about five days from now," Ji Qingqing also said, "When you come then, we will definitely pay back the two hundred Crystal Stones."
"Junior Sister Ji..." a Middle-aged Male Cultivator said anxiously.
But Zheng Cheng was overjoyed; he immediately interrupted the male cultivator and looked at Ji Qingqing, "Are you serious?"
It would be great to get the money back sooner. Who knew when these poor wretches might starve to death? Getting paid early meant peace of mind!
"I am serious!"
"Fine, but five days is too long. I will wait for you for three days at most."
Zheng Cheng looked around, and finally, his sinister gaze landed on Mo Jiuwei.
"You all have money to raise such a little baby, so you must have money to pay me back. If you don't pay by then, I will take her life to settle the debt!"
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left.
The members of the Xianlai Sect first breathed a sigh of relief, but then they became melancholy.
Mo Jiuwei was lost in thought.
In this life, her power had awakened earlier than in any of her previous lives.
In her previous lives, she had only begun to awaken her Main Body power after reaching a certain age, with each life being earlier than the last. She had not expected that in this final life, it would happen during her infancy.
Not only that, perhaps because she was only one step away from becoming an immortal, she discovered that she seemed to possess the ability to perceive destiny.
For example, by looking at someone, she could know that person's fate.
No wonder the Nine-Turn Heaven and Earth Art is a treasure of the Cultivation World; perhaps this is its miraculous use.
【 Mmm... so sleepy. 】
They say that babies under one month old sleep for as many as ten Shichen a day. It seems that is indeed the case; the sleepiness is so intense that she cannot hold on any longer.
Seeing Mo Jiuwei fast asleep, the people of the Xianlai Sect exchanged glances, and then asked in unison—
"Did you hear that?"
After saying this, everyone was shocked themselves.
"Uh, I thought I was the chosen one, which is why I could hear the little baby's voice. I didn't expect you all to hear it too!" a young man scratched his head, saying with much regret.
"What are you thinking? If you were truly the chosen one, would our Xianlai Sect have fallen to this point?" Old Man Liu mocked.
"It seems the special one is that little baby. She must have extraordinary Aptitude and a strong affinity for immortality," Senior Sister Du Yue said.
"Heh, if the people who abandoned her knew she was so special, they would surely regret it to the point of their intestines turning green!"
"However, she just said that Zheng Cheng will die in the mouth of a Sunny Tiger Beast tomorrow. Is this true or false?"
"That is probably impossible, right? How could she foresee something that has not happened yet?"
Everyone was mostly skeptical, because this was truly too outrageous.
"Didn't she say tomorrow? Then we will just wait and see the situation. If it is true, that is best, but if it is not..."
"If it is not, I will sell my sword to pay the debt," Ji Qingqing said.
"Qingqing, don't say things like that. If it really isn't true, we will think of other ways."
"By the way, looking at Zheng Cheng's reaction today, he definitely did not hear the little baby's voice," Old Man Liu narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that only we, the people of the Xianlai Sect, can?"
"That is likely the case. Let's find an opportunity to test it."
"Yes, but everyone must keep this matter a secret. It must not be leaked, otherwise, she might be in danger... Oh, and we must also keep it from her; otherwise, she will definitely feel very uncomfortable."
"Yes, Uncle Liu!"
After waking up from her nap, Mo Jiuwei was hungry.
【 So hungry, so hungry, I want to eat! 】
She cried out "wa-wa" twice, and just as she was worrying about how to tell them she was hungry, she saw Senior Sister Du Yue very understandingly bring over some deer milk.
