Chapter 972: A Blessing in Misfortune
Shi Jiu's thoughts flew up and down, his eyes were clear and bright but there was no goal, Zhong Zi stared at Shi Jiu in a daze and didn't ask what Shi Jiu was thinking.
After a while, Shi Jiu's cheeks gradually put on a faint smile, Zhong Zixu, who had always stood beside Shi Jiu, looked at Shi Jiu's strange appearance and did not bother too much, but when he saw a mysterious smile on Shi Jiu's face, he finally spoke: "I didn't expect you to be demented for so long, what do you want to do?"
Zhong Zixu's words caused Shi Jiu's gaze to retract from the distant sky, and he couldn't help but say, "Thank you for not bothering me all the time!"
"It's rare that you have such a distraction-free moment, how can I disturb you so easily?" Zhong Zixu patted Shi Jiu's shoulder and said, "No matter what you are thinking, no matter where we go in the future, or what we said just now, we will always be good brothers!"
Shi Jiu laughed and said, "That's right, good brother~!"
"Since I talked about good brothers, I naturally think of our old classmates from the Battle Star Academy!" Zhong Zixu said with emotion: "I have basically stayed in the underworld for most of these years, and occasionally I have only come and gone at home when I return to the human world, I miss my former classmates and brothers so much!"
Shi Jiu nodded and said, "It's not just that you miss them, I also feel the same way." Since we all think like this, why don't you take your newlywed wife and let us go back to the human world for a trip, what do you think?"
"Hahaha~!Even if you don't mention it, in fact, I already have this idea for a long time!" Zhong Zixu laughed happily: "Halena has also chattered about the human world, he has been so aggrieved since he was ruthlessly imprisoned tens of thousands of years ago, so Halena has asked to take him to the human world more than once when he returned to my side." β
"Hmm~!I can fully understand Harena's request, this is human nature~! Shi Jiu said: "But Halena is the daughter of the Hades Emperor, and it doesn't matter if Halena used to be a grimace tarantula on the dominant side, anyway, now that someone is as beautiful as a flower marrying you, you really need to bring her to the human world, at least you should always ask your parents-in-law for peace, right?!"
"Do you want to tell me that the ugly daughter-in-law also wants to see her in-laws?" Zhong Zixu teased: "My wife is the number one beauty in the underworld!"
"Hahaha~!Ugliness and beauty are the feelings in your heart!Do you still care what others say and think?" Shi Jiu asked, "If I remember correctly, when you really fell in love with Halena, she was still one with the grimace tarantula!"
Zhong Zixu smiled bitterly and waved his hand, Shi Jiu did say his emotional experience, Zhong Zixu also wanted to further praise Halena, but he had already seen a trace of imperceptible pain in Shi Jiu's eyes, maybe because he had a family and married a beautiful woman in the underworld, which made him involuntarily think of Shi Jiu's beloved, whether it was Dongxue or Dream Youth, a person who had no news, and a trapped family, Zhong Zixu knew that if he said more, he might cause Shi Jiu's pain and lovesickness, so he smiled awkwardly and stopped mentioning itγ
Shi Jiu's eyes were staring blankly ahead, but he knew that Zhong Zixu had already guessed what was on his mind. Although Shi Jiu did not express his gratitude to Zhong Zixu, it was indeed a safe feeling to be able to have such a brother standing beside him.
Of course, Shi Jiu also knew very well that Zhong Zixu had become much more mature and stable after getting married, at least he could see the depressed past in Shi Jiu's heart.
The two of them were silent for a while, and Shi Jiu said: "This trip to the underworld can be regarded as a relatively successful ending, and I believe that the affairs of the underworld will not be tied up again in a short time." I must return to the human realm next, and Halena has already made a request to you, and you have also refused the reward of the Hades, and the title of the Eleventh Hades is indeed not worthy of you, and I support you very much. Let's not waste time and leave for the human world as soon as possible. β
"Okay!" Zhong Zixu said: "Brothers are of the same heart, and their benefits are cut off! What Hades or Hades Prison Patrol Envoys are not worth mentioning in front of their brothers. Lao Tzu wants the wind and the rain now, and I am truly at ease now, and I will be ashamed of God's arrangement if I am not good and chic!"
Shi Jiufu snickered in Zhong Zixu's ear: "I heard that you are already urging Halena to want a little Zhong Zixu, so I understand that your ease will not last long!"
Zhong Zixu grinned awkwardly: "No way, it's the so-called one thing down one thing!"
"It's over here!" Shi Jiu said, "I'll go say goodbye to my parents, and you can arrange it too." We'll meet and set off tomorrow at the First Hades Palace!"
Zhong Zixu laughed excitedly, "Hahaha~!If Halena knew our decision, she would be very happy, and I believe that the Hades Emperor would never stop it, so we decided so happily!"
Shi Jiu smiled and raised a hand, "Smack!" The two of them slapped each other's palms with a heart, and then each returned home to inform them a little.
Shi Jiu told his family the news that Guo Hui was also killed, and all the brothers and sisters except his parents danced happily, and the disaster of killing was shameful, as if a stone in their hearts had finally fallen to the ground.
Shi Jiu's parents were at peace of mind, and their unsad and unhappy performance made Shi Jiu really sigh for a long time, what kind of good thoughts can let go of the hatred of the family! Is it the time that has worn away the edges and corners of hatred? Or is it the good roots in their hearts that have sprouted and blossomed? Or is it the action of single-mindedness that has changed their mood?
Shi Jiu couldn't know exactly how his parents and brothers really felt, but he didn't want to delve into it, after all, being able to let go of hatred itself was a difficult matter, and since they were so relieved, he should also put down his burden and move forward lightly.
Shi Jiu finally told his parents that he would return to the human world with Zhong Zixu in the near future.
Hearing Shi Jiu's hurried decision, the parents who were not happy because they killed Guo Hui and Sikong Xingxing immediately showed reluctance, especially Shi Jiu's mother was the first to be sad, and it was rare to see her youngest son once, and he was about to leave from his side again.
The two old men held Shi Jiu's hand, reluctant to let go at all.
When Shi Jiu was about to leave, his brothers and sisters gathered around again, hugged and said goodbye one by one, Shi Jiu's mood at the moment gradually got rid of the sadness of parting, but Shi Jiu's father's words made Shi Jiu feel worried.
Because Shi Jiu's father held Shi Jiu's hand tightly and told him that no matter when he came to the underworld next time, as long as he came to the underworld, he must remember to bring Meng Qingchun and Dongxue, they missed these two prospective daughters-in-law very much.
Shi Jiu couldn't help nodding, he didn't dare to tell the two old men all the real situation, and he couldn't tell the truth of the matter, especially the secret of Meng Qingchun's departure was unresolved, this matter made Shi Jiu even more worried, I don't know what kind of changes will happen in the future, Shi Jiu is worried that once he says it, he will have to explain for a long time.
Shi Jiu didn't dare to delay at home for too long, he didn't know if his parents and brothers would throw out a series of questions, so Shi Jiu laughed and walked away, he went straight to the First Hades Palace, and then stayed overnight for the time being under the arrangement of Judge Chu.
The night of the underworld was extremely quiet, Shi Jiu had not experienced such a comfortable moment for a long time, when everyone was still asleep, Shi Jiu had already ended the uninterrupted night cultivation in advance, and he flew to the first Hades Hall alone.
To Shi Jiu's special surprise, he had just arrived at the Hades Palace for a while, and Zhong Zixu and Halena also rushed over.
Shi Jiu smiled after seeing Zhong Zixu's appearance clearly: "So fast~!"
"I didn't expect that, right?" Zhong Zi smirked: "To tell you the truth, since I told Halena that she was going to go to the human world, she was so excited that she almost ate me, so this aunt was more anxious than me, and she didn't let me sleep peacefully for a while at night, this guy urged me to set off vigorously, so I couldn't help it if I could come so early!"
Shi Jiu said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm! You and Halena returned to the human world, and it is also the first time that Halena has returned home to save her relatives, and I, as a brother, can't be rude, so I must give you a gift." β
"Give me a gift?" Harena smiled in surprise: "You learn from Lao Jiu well, and see how particular other people are!"
Halena laughed while beating Zhong Zixu's chest, Zhong Zixu pretended to be in pain and said: "Lady is angry, when we get to the human world, we will naturally make you beautiful!"
"Hee-hee~!" Halena smiled happily: "It's almost there~!"
As Shi Jiu spoke, he reached out and groped in the storage bag for a while, and then took out a shining thing from the storage bag, Shi Jiu shook in the wind to reveal a very gorgeous dress, which was the reverse scale shawl from the Whale Shark Palace.
"Now this dress is yours!" Shi Jiu said and already sent the glittering shawl to Halena, Shi Jiu looked at Halena's somewhat confused gaze and explained: "This is a gift from the Whale Shark King when I visited the Hanhai Abyss, there is no windfall left on me, it is better for me to transfer it to Halena today!"
Halena looked at Zhong Zixu with some hesitation, Zhong Zixu laughed and he was not polite, and went directly to Halena with a reverse scale shawl and excitedly put it on Halena.
