Chapter 43 The Top Forces of the Ninth Universe

Bai Shiyan's words exploded in Qiao Yu's mind like a thunderclap.

Could it be... that there were even more terrifying old monsters lying in the Bai family's ancestral shrine than the Ninth Ancestor?

Qiao Yu shuddered at the thought. He realized that his understanding of the Bai family's strength seemed to have always been superficial.

Apart from Bai Xinweng and Bai Xinzhan, he had never seen any other pseudo-god tiers in the Bai family.

"Moreover, the Xing family's strength is not as simple as you think."

Bai Shiyan said calmly.

"Previously, those who attacked Kaiji Star were just the weakest Third Lineage, led by Xing Yuanhua. If the Xing family were to go all out, Kaiji Star would not be able to withstand it, even with the seal."

Qiao Yu's brows furrowed deeply.

After Bai Shiyan finished speaking, he deeply realized that he had indeed underestimated the top forces of the Ninth Universe.

He had only killed a few geniuses of the younger generation and had almost exhausted his lifespan.

If he were to confront the entire Xing family...

"If you want to use the power of the Bai family, then you can forget about it. If Xian'er and I reconcile, the Bai family will definitely be suppressed by other forces."

Bai Shiyan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The top forces of the Ninth Universe will not allow any one force to dominate. They will restrain and balance each other."

Qiao Yu took a deep breath.

"I understand, Uncle."

After saying that, Qiao Yu passed out directly.

Using the Ghost Eye Illusion Nightmare on so many people at the same time had greatly depleted his mental strength.

He was able to hold on until now entirely through willpower.

"Qiao Yu!"

Qian Xian'er rushed up to check Qiao Yu's body.

After checking, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"He's fine. He doesn't have any wounds. He's just over exhausted. He'll be fine after a day or two of rest."

"Okay, then let him sleep. Xian'er... I brought you a gift," Bai Shiyan said, holding Qian Xian'er's hand.

"What gift?" Qian Xian'er blinked her beautiful eyes.

"This..."

Bai Shiyan scratched his head, a rare look of embarrassment appearing on his face.

It was only because Qiao Yu had fainted. If Qiao Yu had seen Bai Shiyan with this expression, he would have stared his eyes out.

Was this still the uncle he knew who was full of schemes and mischief?

After hesitating for a while, Bai Shiyan took out several sets of clothes from his pocket.

"Xian'er, look, I brought these for you from Kaiji Star. This set is called jk, this one is called black silk, this one is called midnight temptation..."

Qian Xian'er's face turned red the moment she saw them.

These... these clothes have so little fabric. Can they really be worn?

Although she was already in her thirties, she had not been in contact with any other men in the 20 years that Bai Shiyan had been gone.

The land that has been dry for 20 years naturally lacks the cultivation of a strong old ox.

"Don't mess around! Qiao Yu is still here!" Qian Xian'er said coquettishly.

"It's okay! I'll just throw him back to the Bai family. We're going to our old spot!"

Bai Shiyan picked up Qiao Yu like a chicken, threw him into the Bai family as he passed by.

Then, he disappeared into the depths of the starry sky with Qian Xian'er. In the following days, many people saw a star constantly flashing.

Qiao Yu couldn't imagine Bai Shiyan's happiness.

When he woke up, it was already in the afternoon of the third day.

He had slept for two and a half days before waking up.

"Damn it! It still hurts!"

Qiao Yu rubbed his temples and sat up from the bed. He had already returned to his sequence palace.

He felt like his head was about to explode, just like the day after a hangover.

The Ghost Eye Illusion Nightmare consumed too much energy when used on too many people at the same time.

Qiao Yu had no doubt that if there had been more people from the Xing family at the time, his head might have exploded on the spot.

Rubbing his aching head, Qiao Yu saw Bai Xinweng walk in.

"You're awake."

Bai Xinweng, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, had become scruffy and looked much more haggard. He also had two large dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for many days.

"Uncle Weng, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Yu was startled by Bai Xinweng's appearance.

"It's nothing. That's not important." Bai Xinweng waved his hand, his expression somewhat excited. "Look at this. There's a solution to your lifespan problem!"

Bai Xinweng handed Qiao Yu an ancient book.

Qiao Yu was silent. After a long while, Qiao Yu took the ancient book and pursed his lips.

"Uncle Weng, have you been looking for a way to replenish my lifespan these past few days?"

"No! As the head of the clan, how could I be so busy that I could focus on helping you find a solution to your lifespan problem!"

Bai Xinweng flatly denied, a loving smile on his face.

"I just happened to pick it up this morning when I was reading."

Looking at the dust covering the ancient book, Qiao Yu pursed his lips.

He hadn't experienced this feeling in a long time, this feeling of someone thinking of him wholeheartedly without asking for anything in return.

"Thank you, Grandpa," Qiao Yu said with a smile.

"It's nothing. Why are you thanking Grandpa..."

Bai Xinweng was stunned, then became excited.

"Wait... child, what did you just call me?"

The elderly man's eyes suddenly turned red, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"I called you... Grandpa," Qiao Yu said again.

"Yes... yes! Grandpa is here! Good child!"

Bai Xinweng was in tears, hugging Qiao Yu tightly in his arms.

The pseudo-god tier powerhouse, the head of the Bai family, smiled like a child when he heard the word "Grandpa."

The word "Grandpa" was like a gentle feather, brushing against the softest part of his heart.

Feeling this blood connection, Qiao Yu couldn't help but purse his lips.

Ever since his parents left when he was six years old, he had longed for this kind of affection for a long, long time.

The two gray-haired old men hugged each other like that, reluctant to separate for a long time.

"By the way, Grandpa, I have something I want to give you. It's not easy for me to deal with it myself."

Qiao Yu seemed to suddenly remember something and directly opened the undead space.

"What is it? Don't worry, Grandpa will definitely help you deal with it!" Bai Xinweng said, patting his chest.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Yu walking out with a long sword.

"The Fentian Sword? Isn't this Xing Aotian's weapon? How did you get your hands on this?"

Bai Xinweng was a little surprised, then continued,

"But it doesn't matter. Anyway, your uncle has already offended the Xing family to death. What does it matter if we deal with Xing Aotian's sword?"

"There's more!"

Qiao Yu was like a child showing his parents his 100-point test paper.

Under Bai Xinweng's stunned gaze, he took out everything he had stolen from the Xing family.

Inside were not only various weapons, but also various equipment, and even various underpants.

Bai Xinweng was silent. The old man raised his eyes, looking at Qiao Yu with suspicion, as if he were looking at a pervert.

"That... child, I can understand the weapons and stuff, and even the women's bodices. Grandpa understands. Young people are full of energy."

"But can you explain to Grandpa why you collected so many underpants? And... I see that many of them are men's..."

Bai Xinweng looked at Qiao Yu strangely and asked.

"You wouldn't be robbing people on the road, taking their underpants in addition to their equipment and weapons, would you?"

Qiao Yu scratched his nose awkwardly when he heard this.

The skill Hermes gave him was random theft. There was no way for him to control it.

"Grandpa... I really don't know how to explain this to you. How about this? I'll give you a live demonstration and you'll understand."

Qiao Yu raised his hands and aimed at Bai Xinweng.

"Theft of the Gods!"
