Chapter 1017

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Shihua shook her head: "Not my cooking—it's from people in other worlds."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka froze, forgetting to chew.

"Oh no, the Holy Culinary Master is broken!"

"Other worlds? How could there be other worlds?"

It is well known that Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka suffers from chuunibyou.

But her chuunibyou is merely an escape from reality.

She has a clear understanding of reality—this world is utterly ordinary, without the extraordinary,

and without gods.

The True Eye of the Evil King is merely her rebellion against reality, her fantasy.

Other worlds? That's just fantasy too.

Yet Shihua, a mature and capable adult, just said something like that.

This terrified Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka.

"Sister Shihua, are you okay?"

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka was deeply worried: "If you're sick, we'll go see a doctor."

After experiencing her father's death and her mother's departure, Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka's psyche was fragile.

Now, Shihua was her only remaining relative.

Though daily they clashed, that was merely rebellion.

Now, she was finally panicked.

"I'm fine," Xiao Niao/Wuyou Shihua shook her head. "I truly met people from another world, gods, and culinary masters."

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka was stunned, tears welling: "You say you're fine, yet you've imagined this?

Even severe chuunibyou doesn't go this far."

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Shihua smiled, swept her jade hand across the table, and instantly a brilliant golden light flared—several gold bars appeared upon the table.

"Is this magic?"

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka gasped, looking at Xiao Niao/Wuyou Shihua, who pointed at the gold bars and said: "You can check."

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka stepped forward, placed her small hand on a gold bar, and immediately felt a cold sensation.

She gently pinched it and lifted the bar.

The gold bar was small, tiny in size, yet extremely heavy.

"This is really gold?!"

Sister waved her hand, and so many gold bars appeared on the table.

It was simply too unbelievable.

This was definitely not magic.

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka looked at her sister, her voice trembling: "Sister… are there really other worlds?"

"Mm."

"What about gods?"

"Yes."

"Can gods find the Invisible Boundary Line?" Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka asked urgently.

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Shihua paused, asking: "You want the gods to bring Father back to life?"

"Mm," Xiao Niao/Wuyou Rokka nodded fiercely. "If Father comes back, Mother will return too. Then we can all live happily—happily together!"

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Shihua froze, sighing inwardly.

How could she not wish to return to the past?

Before Father died, the family was joyful and united.

She wouldn't have had to abandon her dream of becoming a gymnast at such a young age, burdened with caring for the family.

She could have enjoyed happy school days like other students, sweating together, striving for dreams together.

But all those "if only" were illusions…

Father had truly died.

And Mother, shortly after Father's death, abandoned her and her sister and left.

Since then, the weight of the family had fallen upon her.

"Saving someone probably isn't easy," Xiao Niao/Wuyou Shihua sighed. "But I can ask."

She opened the chat group.

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Shihua: "Can I ask everyone a question?"

Su Xiao: "Of course."

Xiao Yan: "Let me guess—you want to save your father?"

Xiao Mai: "Not hard to guess. The Wuyou family's tragedy stems from the father's early death. Both Rokka and Shihua want to save their father, right?"

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Shihua: "Yes. That's the question—can any god do it?"

Menma: "Many can. If there's a corpse, resurrection techniques work—Xinmei and Jia Baoli can both do it."

Zhao Qiao Xinmei: "That's right!"

Jia Baoli: "+1"

Xiao Niao/Wuyou Shihua: "Do you need a corpse? Father died many years ago, and his body was cremated after death."

Menma: "Not hard. Tai Xuan can manipulate time—death means nothing to him. If Tai Xuan acts, anyone can be brought back."

Yang Jian: "That's true. Back in my world, Nezha was saved by the Dao Jun and granted freedom."

Kotori / U游 Juka: "Manipulate time? Is that even possible?"

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Theoretically, yes. But, changing the past means the future will change along with it — it's a dangerous thing."

Yang Jian: "Indeed. Previously, when Nezha went back to change the past, it caused him to lose the spirit treasure he had refined to the unity of man and treasure. What's more, the backlash of the spacetime tide even left him with a Dao wound."

Kotori / U游 Juka: "That dangerous?"

Su Xiao: "Well, it's only a little bit of danger — for Brother Taixuan it's nothing at all. After all, your side of the world is probably just a small world, so the spacetime backlash isn't worth—"

mentioning.

Xiao Yan'er: "Indeed, for Brother Taixuan it's no big problem. Right now, the most important thing is — what reason do you have that could make Brother Taixuan help you?"

Hu Yifei: "Right. A Dao Sovereign wouldn't work for free, would he?"

Kotori / U游 Juka: "Mm. I understand. I'll think it over carefully."
