Chapter 81 - Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a Bun

Chapter 81: Chapter 79: Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a BunTen years after the great battle, Shun Ying and Xue Ze held a sensational ceremony to join their paths. Thirty years later, the Great Elder and the Sect Leader ascended in succession.

Everyone thought Ye Qiu would be the next to ascend, but a hundred years on, Shun Hua and Shun Ying ascended while there was still no sign from Ye Qiu.

"Senior brother, why is that?" Chen Qingchi asked him with confusion. He knew that based on his senior brother’s abilities, Ye Qiu should have ascended before the Great Elder, yet after such a long wait and even having undergone his own Tribulation, the senior brother showed no intention to ascend.

"There is no why." Ye Qiu chose not to tell him the reason. He was not from this world, and even if he wanted to stay, neither the Heavenly Dao nor the mysterious organization behind the System would accept him. Once they all ascended, it would be time for him to leave as well.

"Here, take these." Ye Qiu handed two pieces of Green Copper to Chen Qingchi, hoping he could collect the remaining pieces. He also shared most of the Spirit Plants from the Little Wood Spirit’s space with him, fulfilling their many years of friendship.

Ten years later, with regret, Chen Qingchi ascended, and Ye Qiu left the Sword Pavilion, with no one knowing his whereabouts.

Ye Qiu traveled the entire Cultivation World with the Earth Spirit, seeking Spiritual Objects to heal its injuries. Along the way, he encountered a Golden Spirit that wasn’t subdued by Qingling in this life. Without disturbing it, he silently left.

Twenty years later, Ye Qiu saw a baby in a mortal town bearing a Buddha’s relic and aura of the Buddha’s chant, with a red mole between the eyebrows, very similar to Ming Jing who died on the battlefield of the Demon Clan. Ye Qiu took him to Putuo Temple and handed him over to the aged abbot.

Another ten years passed, and the Earth Spirit could now transform into a little turtle. Without any regrets left, Ye Qiu settled the Little Wood Spirit and the others and returned to the Sword Pavilion, placing all his belongings at the top of Snow Mountain

From then on, Silent Annihilation Sword Master was never seen again in the Cultivation World.

Exchange for the Divine Beast Golden Crow?

Huh? Ye Qiu looked at the panel, stunned. Could he really exchange for living creatures this time? He hesitated for a moment, then chose yes. In an instant, a Golden Egg as tall as half a person appeared beside Ye Qiu, with a Chaos Pearl still attached to its shell. The creature inside the egg sensed the familiar presence and let out a joyful aura.

Consumed 30000 Merit Points, remaining Merit Points: -2000. Please ensure the Host repays the debt as soon as possible.

Task completed, proceed to the next world?

"Yes."

The next moment, Ye Qiu found himself in a small but cozy room, closing his eyes to sense the past of the Host.

This was an interstellar world of the future. Ye Qiu was an orphan, raised by the state until coming of age, when he started to live and work on his own. With a bright mind and great effort, he was admitted to Capital University right after reaching adulthood, even having his tuition waived. Despite the hardships of birth, he faced no significant tribulation, having a strong yet kind heart.

After starting university, despite having no background, her outstanding grades and good looks still attracted many suitors, including the male god of the academy, Rong Yu.

Rong Yu was like her, an orphan, and with his talent and hard work, he had caught the attention of the Military Department during his school days. With limitless prospects, perhaps because they were both excellent and shared similar orphan experiences, the two quickly fell in love and got married after graduation.

But things don’t always go according to plan. Five years into the marriage, Rong Yu died on the interstellar battlefield. Ye Qiu was left to live alone with their child. If it weren’t for unexpected events, with Ye Qiu’s abilities and Rong Yu’s pension, she and the two children could have lived well. But someone just couldn’t stand her, and this person was Qin Shu, who led to the tragedy of her and her two children.

Qin Shu was Rong Yu’s classmate, who had secretly loved Rong Yu back in school. Due to her powerful family background and her own excellence, she had always considered Rong Yu as her sure catch. However, the arrival of Ye Qiu destroyed her hopes. While Rong Yu was alive, she did not dare to act, but after Rong Yu died, she blamed everything on Ye Qiu.

Using her family’s influence, she caused Ye Qiu to lose her job. Moreover, when Ye Qiu was giving birth to her posthumous child, she made the hospital’s doctors tamper with the delivery. In an age where medical technology was highly advanced, she made Ye Qiu suffer from a difficult childbirth on the operating table.

She hated Ye Qiu for taking Rong Yu away, so she turned Ye Qiu’s two children into orphans just like herself and had them sent to the remote Rebellion Star. Before they had a chance to grow up, they suffered and died.

In this new life, Ye Qiu hoped that her two children could grow up healthy and happy. She wanted Qin Shu to suffer and die, wanting her reckless family to be punished.

Merit Points: 6000

Since she can only choose one skill from each world, this time Ye Qiu chose the Level 5 Body Forging Technique.

As soon as she opened her eyes, a little bundle in cow-print pajamas pushed open the bedroom door and clumsily climbed onto her bed.

This is her elder son Rong Chen, three years old this year.

"Mom, little brother didn’t bother you today." The little bundle had just woken up and was still groggy, but he knew to gently touch Ye Qiu’s belly, very sensibly.

After living through so many lifetimes, this wasn’t Ye Qiu’s first time raising children, but having another one in her belly was indeed a novel and somewhat eerie feeling.

But no matter what, facing a soft, tender, and considerate little bundle, Ye Qiu still loved him dearly.

Rong Chen looked like his deceased father Rong Yu, who was once the male god of the academy. Rong Chen inherited his features, which were very delicate, but now at only three years old, he still had a chubby baby face, more cute than anything.

Ye Qiu touched his soft hair, with a gentle voice, "It’s okay, little brother was well behaved today."

Rong Chen snuggled up to her, muttered something, and fell back asleep. Ye Qiu, now eight months pregnant and caring for Rong Chen on her own, fell asleep alongside him, despite him being very obedient, she was somewhat drained of energy.

When she woke up again, it was already noon. Rong Chen was nestling in her arms, blinking big eyes, quiet and obedient.

"Gurgle..." Ye Qiu looked at Rong Chen’s little belly, and the little guy blushingly buried his face in Ye Qiu’s arm and cooed, "My tummy is hungry."

"It’s Mom’s fault, I slept in. Let’s get up and cook," Ye Qiu said lovingly, gently kissing the little one’s cheek, following the recipes from her memory.

The apartment they were living in now was bought on a mortgage when they got married. It wasn’t big, but it was enough for a family of four. Ye Qiu and Rong Yu were both orphans, and it was quite an accomplishment to buy such an apartment on Capital Star without the support of elders. Ye Qiu cherished it deeply. Despite being lethargic from pregnancy, she kept the house spotlessly clean. The design and decoration of the house were still kept the same as when they got married, with only some children’s stuff added over the years, making it look very warm and cozy.

But after her death, this cozy and loving home was completely destroyed by that woman Qin Shu.
