Chapter 849

Zhang Xiaohua went down the slope. She didn't know if it was because of the low terrain, but there was more ghost fog in the valley below the slope. Correspondingly, there were more and more short trees and mushrooms.

Zhang Xiaohua held her breath and circulated the Worry-Free Sutra in her body. Although there was a lot of ghost fog, it was still in the form of silk. Occasionally, it would float over Zhang Xiaohua's body. It only caused a little numbness, but it didn't cause any substantial harm to Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua went down the path at the bottom of the valley. She collected a lot of strange herbs and mushrooms, but she didn't encounter anything strange.

The further down they went, the more luxuriant the plants on the Lingering Fragrance Peak grew. Gradually, they blocked out the little sunlight. Coupled with the increase of the ghost fog, the place slowly became damp and cold. Although Zhang Xiaohua was immune to both heat and cold, she could still sense that this place was not friendly.

However, Zhang Xiaohua released his Divine Sense and scanned the surroundings, but he did not find anything out of the ordinary.

"Eh?" Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua's heart trembled. Usually, the forest was filled with the chirping of birds, but the Ghost Valley was so quiet that it was scary. There wasn't even a bird chirping, let alone a small creature like a squirrel.

Pricking up her ears, Zhang Xiaohua listened carefully. Above her head, there were some faint chirping of birds, but they were very far away. If it wasn't for Zhang Xiaohua's extraordinary hearing, she definitely wouldn't have heard it.

"Ghost Valley, is this how it is called?" Zhang Xiaohua frowned slightly. "Do I still have to go down?"

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but hesitate.

He wasn't interested in becoming an inner disciple of alchemy. So what if he didn't pass this so-called martial arts test?

"Aiyo, what's going on?" Zhang Xiaohua inadvertently looked down and saw some small holes in her sleeves.

"This set of clothes seems to have been changed when we left Shixin Peak. How did it tear so quickly?" Zhang Xiaohua was very puzzled. She looked at the other sleeve, and it was the same.

"That's not right. Even if it's worn out, there shouldn't be so many tiny holes!"

At this moment, another wisp of ghostly fog floated past Zhang Xiaohua and collided with his sleeve. The ghostly fog rushed up his sleeve and disappeared. The originally small holes on his sleeve were now much bigger.

"So it's because of this ghost fog."

When she thought of this, Zhang Xiaohua immediately tilted her head to the side to avoid the oncoming ghost fog. "Looks like this ghost fog is very corrosive. If I absorb it into my body, I'm afraid that my internal organs will be destroyed. Forget it, I should turn around. The front looks like it's filled with fog, how can I go down there?

Don't be naked later, it'll be embarrassing! "

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua wanted to retreat.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua felt a slight movement in front of her chest.

"Oh no, my clothes are already torn?" Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. When she lowered her head, she saw some movement in her clothes.

Zhang Xiaohua reached into her clothes and took out the two living creatures hidden inside. She saw that Goldie, who was wrapped in a shell of ki stone, was slowly swaying its tail and moving its four little legs. As for Blacky, it was still motionless.

Zhang Xiaohua placed Blacky back into her clothes and held Goldie in her hands. Goldie's little head was twisting up and down as though it was extremely uncomfortable. Zhang Xiaohua took it out of the ki stone. Goldie immediately stretched lazily in Zhang Xiaohua's hands, but it still didn't open its eyes.

"Is it going to wake up?" Zhang Xiaohua thought to herself.

At this moment, a few wisps of ghost fog floated past Zhang Xiaohua's hand. Zhang Xiaohua was afraid that she would hurt Goldie, so she moved her hand away. However, Goldie sniffed and raised its head. It sniffed at the wisps of ghost fog that floated past it. Goldie let out a soft snort, and an extremely weak white light shot out and sucked in the wisps of ghost fog. It was extremely similar to how Blacky sucked in the black worms in Ou Yan's Niwan Palace!

After it sucked in the black fog, Goldie shook its head. It sniffed and continued to search for more.

"Haha!" When Zhang Xiaohua saw this, she was overjoyed. "Huang Feng" left in a hurry and didn't tell Zhang Xiaohua what Goldie wanted to eat. Zhang Xiaohua was vexed that she had to be a wet nurse. However, Goldie and Blacky were still unconscious. Perhaps they were relying on ki stones to survive. Zhang Xiaohua thought that they would be unconscious for a hundred years and that she would never be able to see them wake up in this lifetime.

When Zhang Xiaohua saw that Goldie could actually absorb the ghostly mist, as if it was feeding on it, it would naturally grow if it ate more. Thus, Zhang Xiaohua immediately gave up on the idea of turning back. Holding Goldie in his hands, he slowly made his way down.

Previously, Zhang Xiaohua had been avoiding the ghost fog, but now, she was heading towards the place with the most ghost fog. Goldie was also amazing. The white light from its nose was very mysterious. It didn't care how much of the black fog there was. With just a puff, the black fog was sucked in like a whale sucking in water, leaving nothing behind.

The valley below the gentle slope was extremely long. Zhang Xiaohua walked for the time it took for three incense sticks to burn, but she still hadn't reached the end. Because she was holding Goldie in one hand, Zhang Xiaohua only used her other hand to form a seal and pluck a large amount of herbs. As for the black fog at the bottom of the valley, most of it was sucked into Goldie's stomach. Only a small amount of it remained floating in the air because Zhang Xiaohua was too lazy to chase after it.

"Why aren't you full yet?"

Seeing that Goldie had already sucked in a lot of the black fog, Zhang Xiaohua was almost afraid that Goldie would be bloated. However, when she saw that Goldie's stomach was still not bloated, Zhang Xiaohua said without hesitation, "Fortunately, this fellow eats fog. It's similar to drinking wind and dew. Otherwise, wouldn't I be broke from eating like this?"

Just as she was thinking, a huge cloud of black fog floated over. Zhang Xiaohua quickly raised her left hand and welcomed it. Goldie sucked in a breath and finished it. Then, Zhang Xiaohua retracted her left hand and looked around again. Before Zhang Xiaohua could find anything, she suddenly felt something strange. It was as though something was spying on her. Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. She quickly released her divine sense, but there was still nothing alive within a one zhang radius. She looked around vigilantly, but there was nothing.

"Why is that?"

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled, his eyes inadvertently fell on his left hand. He saw a pair of small eyes staring at him without blinking. Wasn't that Xiaohuang, who had been unconscious all this time?

"Ah?"

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. She knew how powerful Huang Feng was. Back then, she only wanted to raise Goldie and Blacky, but she didn't think about how they would treat her. Now that Goldie had woken up, her first reaction was, "Don't tell me this fellow is like its mother? Let me catch it!"

However, when Zhang Xiaohua saw the longing, joy, and hope in Goldie's clear eyes, she couldn't help but tear up. A feeling that she had never experienced before filled her heart. It was as though this little thing was an indispensable part of her life. She just wanted to put everything in front of it, to see it happy, to see it enjoy itself.

Almost without hesitation, Zhang Xiaohua held Goldie in front of her eyes and reached out with her right hand, gently stroking Goldie's fur.

Goldie enjoyed it very much. It lay there comfortably, its large tail wagging up and down. Then, Goldie flipped over and hugged Zhang Xiaohua's right hand with all four of its legs. It used its tongue to lick Zhang Xiaohua's fingers, just like a naughty child kissing its father's palm!

"This child is so naughty!"

The 63-year-old Zhang Xiaohua couldn't understand the feelings of a father, but he couldn't help but laugh.

When Goldie heard that, it flipped over and stood up. It did not seem to be as weak as it was when it was born. It used its two hind legs and tail to support its body. It waved its two front paws up and down, but its eyes flashed with a coquettish look. At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly had a feeling that he understood Goldie's words.

"Mother, you're the naughty one!"

"Mother!!!" Zhang Xiaohua staggered and almost fell. "Am I mistaken?

This … Is this a hallucination?

I know Goldie's voice?

And … It's actually calling me mother! "

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's shocked expression, Goldie's face was innocent and full of concern.

"Child, how am I your mother? I'm your father!"

Zhang Xiaohua laughed, but then, Zhang Xiaohua burst out laughing. "I … How could I be your father?"

Goldie didn't seem to know anything about being a father or a mother. It only flipped up and down in Zhang Xiaohua's hand. After a while, it seemed to be able to move its arms and legs. It immediately waved its tail and climbed onto Zhang Xiaohua's head. It used its tongue to lick Zhang Xiaohua's face all over. As it licked, it acted like a spoiled child. Zhang Xiaohua felt as though it was calling out to her, "Mother!"

She smiled bitterly. Zhang Xiaohua felt very helpless. Although she was gratified that Goldie was acting like a spoiled child, her face was still wet and she felt very uncomfortable. Zhang Xiaohua carefully placed Goldie back into her left hand. But not long after, it flew onto Zhang Xiaohua's head again. It didn't lick Zhang Xiaohua's hair so much that it made a mess!

"What should I do?" Zhang Xiaohua was helpless. She thought of something and said, "Goldie, are you still hungry?

Let's continue eating. "

As she spoke, she reached out to take Goldie down. However, when Goldie heard her words, it stood up on Zhang Xiaohua's head and pointed its claws forward, chirping incessantly.

Zhang Xiaohua immediately understood. "Mother, I'm hungry. Let's go!"

"Defeated!"

Zhang Xiaohua was speechless. It seemed like she could no longer escape from this mother. Perhaps in the future, when Xiaohuang grew up, it would be able to use the book "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" to enlighten it. Perhaps it would understand!

Hence, Zhang Xiaohua didn't take Goldie from the top of her head. Instead, she walked straight to the bottom of the valley …
