Chapter 186 My Little Brother is Mischievous
With the departure of the Golden Tree, the laws of this place are also changing. The magma sea begins to dry up, gradually turning into hard stone ground, and the ban on flying is lifted, allowing flight.
"Earthfire Liquid..."
However, Shi Hao couldn't help but sigh with regret, because when the Sun Tree surged up, its huge golden roots took away a lot of essence, directly draining the Crimson Sea.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared from afar and disappeared into his hair.
It was the Royal Butterfly. Earlier, following Shi An's advice, it went down into the magma sea to absorb the earth fire liquid. Now that the earth fire liquid had gone with the Golden Tree, it had returned, transforming back into a golden bead, which served as an ornament in Shi Hao's hair.
The ground was scorching hot, wisps of smoke drifted in the air, and the place lacked any sign of life, resembling a desolate wasteland.
"Shi Hao, you..."
At the same time, the phoenix maiden walked over, looked at Shi Hao as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, after glancing at her other companions, she said, "Shi Hao, it's good that you're alright."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his companions.
"Red Phoenix, what's wrong with you...?"
"Red Phoenix, you're too..."
·······
Phoenix Girl had just returned when she was met with a lecture from her companions.
But she didn't answer them. She just looked at Shi Hao with a slightly flushed face, and finally turned away resolutely.
Seeing this, the others didn't say anything more. They all glanced at Shi Hao and Shi An, then followed and left.
"Let's go back."
Seeing this, Shi An took one last look at the broken world before leaving with Shi Hao.
The two transformed into streaks of light and vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye, then arrived at another place.
This is a low mountainous area with rolling hills. There is a magic array in the middle, filled with chaotic energy. Shi Hao's parents and younger brother are sealed inside.
The magic array set up by the small tower is something that even the highest-ranking sect leader in the upper realm could not easily destroy.
Therefore, Shi Hao was very relieved, knowing that his parents would definitely be safe.
"Little Tower, wake up, it's time to let my parents out."
Looking at the magic array in front of him, Shi Hao reached out and patted the small tower in his hair, reminding him that it was time to release the person.
"understood."
The little tower whispered, then its crystalline radiance dissipated, gathering the surrounding banners and collecting the chaotic energy, thus dispelling the magic array between the hills.
"Father, Mother!"
Upon seeing this, Shi Hao immediately shouted and rushed over.
"child!"
At the same time, Shi Ziling and his wife, who were inside the magic circle, were also overjoyed to see Shi Hao appear. They rushed over and embraced Shi Hao.
The formation is very safe; there are no ferocious beasts, nor is it a dead end. The vegetation is lush, and there is also a spiritual lake from which vital energy flows.
These past few days, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining have been extremely worried and tense, fearing that something might happen to Shi Hao because his opponent is too strong.
"Child, I'm so glad you're alright!"
The family was reunited. Qin Yining hugged Shi Hao tightly, and Shi Ziling's large hand reached out and put his arm around his shoulder.
Time has not left many marks on them. Shi Ziling is still very heroic, and Qin Yining is still beautiful. However, there is a sense of melancholy between her brows that has lingered for many years.
They miss Shi Hao and can't forget the past, so they always have a knot in their hearts.
"Uncle Ziling, Aunt Qin, it's been a long time!"
Just then, Shi An, who had come along, spoke up at the opportune moment.
"Who are you?"
Looking at Shi An standing behind Shi Hao, Shi Ziling and his wife were full of doubt. Who was this young man? When had they seen him before?
"Father, Mother, this is Little An!"
Seeing that his parents seemed to have completely forgotten about Shi An, Shi Hao immediately reminded them.
"Xiao An..."
Upon hearing Shi Hao's reminder, a hint of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of Shi Ziling and the other person.
"It's you!"
After a long while, a glint flashed in their eyes, and they looked at Shi An with surprise.
They never imagined that the boy they met with Ishimura back then would have grown up to be so powerful, with an aura emanating from him that was even more terrifying than that of the Human Emperor.
"Thank you so much for taking care of Hao'er all these years!"
Thinking it over, Shi Ziling bowed deeply to Shi An to thank him for taking care of Shi Hao.
Although he didn't know Shi An, Shi Hao had told him that when he was young, his brother Xiao An often brought him milk from ferocious beasts for him to drink, which is why he was still strong despite his injuries.
"Uncle Ziling, you're too kind. Xiao Hao is also my younger brother. As the older brother, it's only right that I take care of him."
Seeing this, Shi An quickly stepped forward to help Shi Ziling, responding humbly with a gentle and sincere gaze.
With tears in her eyes, Qin Yining looked at the young man before her, her heart filled with emotion: "Time really flies. Xiao An, you've grown up so much and become so strong. I remember back in Shi Village, you were just a child."
"hey-hey!"
Shi An merely chuckled twice and said nothing more.
Seeing that Shi An didn't say anything more, Qin Yining also remained silent. Instead, she turned and pulled Qin Hao, who was dressed in a silver divine robe, over, saying, "This is Xiao An, from the ancestral land of the Shi Clan. He's older than you, so you should call him 'brother'!"
"elder brother·······"
Looking at Shi An, who was dressed in a blue robe, Qin Hao called out softly, and then fell silent.
Seeing this, Qin Yining frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. She simply pulled him towards Shi Hao and said, "Call him brother!"
However, to Qin Yining and Shi Ziling's surprise, Qin Hao called Shi An, an outsider, but refused to call Shi Hao, his own brother, and instead kept a sour face.
This scene made Shi Hao feel a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled softly and said, "Mother, there's no need for that. We've only met twice. My brother is probably not used to it yet. It's okay, he'll be fine in the future."
Seeing that Shi Hao not only didn't blame Qin Hao, but even defended him, Shi Ziling, who already felt guilty for not being able to spend time with Shi Hao, immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Hao: "What are you throwing a tantrum for, child? He's your own brother!"
Feeling the pressure from his father, Qin Hao, though unwilling, finally managed to utter two words to Shi Hao: "Brother..."
The voice was very soft and faint, but Shi Hao heard it and was very happy.
"As the older brother, I can't be without a gift for my younger brother."
Amidst laughter, Shi Hao took out a jade cauldron and handed it to Qin Hao: "This contains precious elixir obtained from the Golden Tree, which should be of great benefit to your cultivation."
But Qin Hao did not take it; he simply stood there quietly, without moving.
Seeing this, Qin Yining frowned slightly again and said, "Why didn't you accept the gift your brother gave you?"
At the same time, she felt somewhat helpless. She knew why her second son was like this, but she couldn't say anything about it.
Because he grew up in the Immortal Mountain, but the Immortal Mountain was overthrown by someone, and that person was his own brother. How could he accept this all at once?
