"This smell is too strong!"
In the illusion, Bai Lanzhi listened to the AI commentary in her ears, and the excitement in her heart was greatly diminished.
But when she saw her own daughter turn into a hybrid of a Pallas's cat and a celestial fox, suffering so much for a bite of food, she immediately felt heartbroken.
Then, she saw how Yu Zhibo awakened Bai Yinchen's true spirit step by step, followed by the sudden awakening of the Jade Fox Celestial Venerable's memories, and quickly becoming a Void Returning expert in a short period of time.
When they emerged from the illusion, the faces of the family of four showed complex expressions.
Wang Shouyi stammered, "So, our second daughter has become two people, one is the Jade Fox Celestial Venerable from ten thousand years later, and the other is the current Void Returning stage Celestial Fox? We should have died ten thousand years ago, and the reason we exist now is because an unknown powerful being reversed time and space, forcibly changed everyone's karma, and thus survived?"
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Zhibo, his eyes flashing with surprise and uncertainty.
Did all of this have something to do with Yu Zhibo?
Yu Zhibo had too many secrets; he had known this since his humble beginnings, but he had not delved too deeply out of magnanimity.
Even the Dao Saint, when mentioning Yu Zhibo's origins, would speak with a cryptic air, which clearly indicated a problem.
Bai Chanyi also pondered, "According to what my second sister said, what promoted her evolution was the blood of the Ancestral Divine Fox condensed by my second sister. Then how did her beloved Bobo obtain this drop of blood?"
It wasn't that she suspected her second sister and Yu Zhibo of anything; she still trusted her husband very much. She just vaguely felt that there seemed to be an unfathomable truth hidden in the depths of fate.
Bai Xinyi looked bewildered, "Second sister became two people, with her past and future selves existing simultaneously. This is too outrageous."
Bai Lanzhi had never expected things to develop in such a bizarre direction.
Yu Zhibo struck a pose like a bear shrugging its shoulders, "I don't really understand the specifics, but the reason I was able to return to Earth was thanks to the Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns that my second sister inscribed on me."
"There were two main purposes for returning to Earth this time. The first was to resolve the hidden dangers on Earth, and the second... as you can see, my second sister hopes to see you!"
"Is there any reason to hesitate? Meet her!" Wang Shouyi's face showed an unquestionable expression. He was not a cold person and valued family affection greatly.
No matter what their second daughter had become, she would never harm them; this was something he firmly believed.
Bai Lanzhi's eyes reddened, and Wang Shouyi embraced her, gently patting her shoulder to comfort her.
Bai Xinyi and Bai Chanyi also had no objections. Bai Chanyi happily said, "Second sister is so powerful now, she will definitely be able to find our other brothers and sisters faster. Our family has hope of reuniting!"
Yu Zhibo stroked her head and smiled, nodding.
But in his heart, he didn't hold much hope. After all, Bai Yinchen was a Celestial Venerable in the upper realm, but after so long, she hadn't found her siblings. The hope of finding them further was likely slim.
Instead, he seemed to have a better chance, as he was the one who found Bai Xinyi and Bai Chanyi first.
In any case, everything had to be left to fate.
He smiled and said, "There's no rush to meet her. My parents have prepared food, let's go eat first."
Wang Shouyi smiled, "Alright!"
Having suddenly learned that his second daughter was safe, he was in a good mood and walked into the villa with his wife.
For the next hour and a half, everyone drank and chatted, the atmosphere was very lively. The most popular person was Yu Zhibo, who was bombarded with questions by the younger generation, including his younger brother Yu Zhihao, who looked at him like a devoted fan admiring an idol.
Yu Zhibo didn't act coy and put on the demeanor of a model elder, responding to each question. After getting Yu Zhibo's permission, Yu Zhihao even posted a video on his Moments, which was somehow reposted by someone and even trended.
As the saying goes, when one person achieves success, their whole family benefits. After Yu Zhibo became successful, he didn't forget to benefit his family. He used his control over high-level laws to give everyone in the family a buff, which could save their lives at critical moments, just like Lin Wanjun had given him a mental shield back then.
Afterward, he and his wife Bai Chanyi visited the elders and colleagues who had once taken care of him.
He gifted Lin Wanjun many cultivation resources. After saying goodbye, he found Li Fang and gave him many precious benefits, which made the fifty-something Li Fang almost call him "Dad."
Li Fang's son, Li Si, was a young man with a unique personality. He wasn't a bad person, just very arrogant. But upon meeting Yu Zhibo, he was completely submissive and dared not show any disrespect. This wasn't out of fear of Yu Zhibo's power, but rather a fervent devotion akin to a believer.
After visiting Li Fang, Yu Zhibo went to see his former team leader, Si Junfang. Si Junfang was living a carefree life, married to Su Caiying and Wang Yan, with both women by her side, living very happily.
Yu Zhibo was stunned for quite a while when he realized Si Junfang was a lesbian before he could react.
He then gifted them some resources, which made Si Junfang so happy that her tonsils were practically showing. She exclaimed that recruiting him into the third team was the most correct decision she had ever made.
Next was his guide, Wang Ange. Wang Ange married a spatial ability user. It was said that they had gone through a long period of love before finally tying the knot. They now had an eight-year-old child. Yu Zhibo offered his blessings and some gifts.
The gifts he gave were but a drop in the ocean for Yu Zhibo's wealth; in fact, many things could be created with a mere thought. However, for these old friends, they were a great fortune.
When they parted ways, Wang Ange looked nostalgically at Yu Zhibo's head, but realizing the vast difference in their current statuses, she eventually sighed with disappointment.
Time flew by, and many people and things changed. Yu Zhibo knew that many things could never go back to the way they were, but there was nothing he could do about it. Therefore, he was more willing to give them some benefits, so as not to let their past friendships be in vain.
There were also the Li Shanzhu and Li Shanjun siblings. Li Shanzhu had married long ago and lived in Ningcheng Secret Realm No. 4. Li Shanjun had forged his own path, becoming a powerful ability user who controlled the laws of power, and had achieved great fame on the North Sea battlefield.
Li Shanjun was very happy when Yu Zhibo visited him and refused the gifts Yu Zhibo offered. Yu Zhibo, helpless, left gracefully after dinner.
"Huh? Why is this chair so heavy?"
Li Shanjun's wife, Lu Fangge, was a water-element ability user and a former "fish fan" (a self-proclaimed term for Yu Zhibo's fans). After Yu Zhibo left, she wanted to collect the chair he had sat on, but found that she couldn't move it at all.
"How is this possible?"
Li Shanjun walked over and gasped, because the chair clearly bore the imprint of the essence of the laws of power left by Yu Zhibo.
"Alas, how can I ever repay such a great kindness!" Li Shanjun sighed to the sky, feeling both grateful to Yu Zhibo and guilty for accepting such a precious gift.
Afterward, Yu Zhibo visited Wang Sen, Ling Fugui... no, Ling Xiaotian, and others. After confirming that they were all doing well, he returned to the villa.
After this round of visits, he found that his state of mind had improved significantly, bringing him closer to the Void Returning realm.
"The Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns will dissipate in a few days. Let's go meet our second sister together in two days!"
In the villa bedroom, Yu Zhibo held Bai Chanyi and said with a smile.
