Chapter 54 - The Trawler of the Three Realms
"Ninety-nine."
Demon Ox and the others were about to curse loudly before accepting the scene. However, the image of Hu Jiujiu crying was still shown on the screen. The few of them couldn't help but tremble in excitement.
"Ninety-nine, my daughter."
The Jade Faced Fox cried out loud the moment it saw Hu Jiujiu. It was extremely emotional, and even the corners of Demon Ox's eyes became moist.
Hong'er was the first to say, "Jiu Jiu, where did you go? Father and Second Mother were extremely worried in the past few days and sent father a message saying that he captured you. If the Monster race disagrees to join hands with the Demon race to attack the Heavenly Court, he will kill you and Father will go crazy in the next few days."
Hearing this, Hu Jiujiu wiped away his tears and said.
"Father, mother, aunt, and brother, don't worry, I am safe now. At that time, I was indeed being hunted by the heavens, but I accidentally opened a black hole in space and was sent into exile. I was saved by a human."
"Damned Wutian! How dare he lay his hands on my daughter! I definitely won't let him get away with this! Son, I'll immediately cross the void to come find you!"
Demon Ox was extremely anxious.
"Absolutely not."
Suddenly, one of them spoke up to Chen Yao.
"Hmm?" Everyone's attention was focused on Chen Yao. Just now, Demon Ox and the others were only concerned with the missing Hu Jiujiu, so they did not notice Chen Yao at all. At this moment, they finally noticed him.
"Who are you?"
The Demon Ox's eyes widened as he stared at Chen Yao.
"I think my daughter is going crazy. I want to see her immediately," said the jade fox.
Princess Tie Fan said, "On what basis are you commanding my husband?"
Hong'er looked at Chen Yao with unfriendly eyes. If not for the image transmission, she would have spat out a mouthful of three kinds of true fire and burned Chen Yao to death.
Sitting beside Chen Yao, Hu Jiujiu hurriedly explained to his family.
"Father, don't worry, he's my benefactor. His name is Chen Yao, the driver of the Trilogy."
"Did he save you?"
Hearing Hu Jiujiu's words, everyone came back to their senses, looking at Chen Yao in a more relaxed manner.
Demon Ox was the only one who understood the meaning behind Hu Jiujiu's words. He seemed to have recalled a legend, "Are you the ferryman from the Three Realms?"
"The ferrymen of the Three Realms?" Chen Yao stared blankly at Demon Ox.
The Demon Ox realized that he had spoken too much, and quickly changed the topic.
"Thank you for saving my daughter, but why did you stop me from coming to this world to find her?"
How meticulous was Chen Yao's thinking? Demon Ox had just called the driver of the Trilogy as the ferryman of the Three Realms, while Hong'er, Princess Iron Fan and the Jade Fox knew nothing about it. It must be that the ferryman of the Three Realms had other secrets.
The Demon Ox's sudden change of words made Chen Yao even more puzzled. However, since Demon Ox was no longer speaking, he would be asking for trouble.
He had to ask the boss who hired him to become the Trilogy's driver.
As the master of a Trilogy, its identity must not be simple. Even the Demon Ox King may not be as powerful as it was, so Chen Yao was puzzled as to why a mysterious expert with such a terrifying background would suddenly appear in the human world.
However, this would have to wait for the mysterious person to appear. The mysterious person said that he would come back to him in three months, so he would just wait.
Chen Yao said to Demon Ox and the others as he gathered his thoughts.
"Right now, aside from you and me, no one knows about the matter of Hu Jiujiu falling into the mortal world. This is the biggest blessing for Hu Jiujiu, as no matter what, no one would have thought that Hu Jiujiu would come to the mortal world.
In order to use Hu Jiujiu to threaten you, he will definitely go all out in Spiritual Realm to find Hu Jiujiu, and I think that he will definitely be paying close attention to every single one of your movements. If you were to cross the void and come to the human world, Wu Tian will definitely come as well, and at that time, Hu Jiujiu will be the real danger. "
As Chen Yao spoke, Demon Ox's forehead was immediately drenched in cold sweat.
Fortunately, Chen Yao reminded him, otherwise, he would have personally pushed his own daughter into the fiery pit. Although he was not afraid of Wu Tian, if Wu Tian led the demon powerhouses to ambush them in the void, both his daughter and himself would probably die in the void.
Therefore, he hurriedly thanked Chen Yao, "My friend, you're right. It's just that how can my daughter return to my home?"
The Jade Face Fox became even more anxious, "That's right, when will my daughter be able to return home?"
Chen Yao said.
No worries, even if he doesn't go home, he would still be safe in the mortal world. With the decline of the cultivation in the mortal world, and the fact that Hu Jiuchen has the cultivation of the Land Immortal, coupled with the three kinds of true fire and the Immortal Trapping Rope, there shouldn't be anyone who can threaten her, so she can stay in the mortal world for a period of time. My Trilogy can traverse the Three Realms, but I need to earn ten thousand Three Realms Merit before I can open the Spiritual Realm's map.
"One year?"
Hearing Chen Yao's words, the Jade Faced Fox cried bitterly. Hu Jiujiu had never left her for a day since he was young. How could she accept the fact that he would suddenly be absent for a year?
"Shut up."
Demon Ox suddenly glared at the jade faced fox and said, "Women's perspective. Our relationship with the Demonic, Demonic, Immortal, Buddha, and the four tribes is very subtle. The Spiritual Realm is in chaos. Why are you asking your daughter to come back? In the human world, it's actually the safest. What little friend Chen says is true, we will just follow what little friend says. "
Demon Ox was, after all, the overlord of this region. Even though he missed his daughter dearly, he could still keep his cool and think.
Hu Jiujiu said to the jade faced fox.
"Mother, benefactor is right, my strength is too weak, not like brother's sacred art, which can help father. I can only help father, when I return, I will definitely be able to hold father back, and Tian Tian will definitely kidnap me and threaten father. I might as well stay in the human world for a while, and wait for Spiritual Realm to stabilize a little before doing anything."
"Also, benefactor, you said that one year is the most conservative. With my help, I can probably go home and reunite with you in half a year's time. Besides, we can also meet in this manner often."
Hearing Hu Jiujiu's words, the Jade Faced Fox's mood improved greatly.
Next up was Chen Yao. Hu Jiujiu and his family were all crying, but the video call ended five minutes later. It seemed like there was a time limit for this video call.
Looking at the time, it was exactly twelve o'clock. Chen Yao flipped open the Mission Hall to look for a quest that he could do.
Only now did Chen Yao realize that, as the driver of the Trilogy, he could not only be the driver, but also the customer. If he accepted the mission in the Mission Hall of the Three Realms, and then used the Trilogy to complete it, it would also be considered as completing the driver's duties. However, there was a small requirement, which was that between midnight and 6 in the morning, Chen Yao had to complete the mission using the Trilogy, otherwise his lifespan would be deducted as appropriate.
"Mission Hall — In the last two days, a hundred evil spirits have been lost without reason in Jiangbei City. No traces of them were found, and people from the Three Realms are invited to search for them. After completing the mission, you will obtain three hundred Three Realms Merit."
Soon, the first mission caught Chen Yao's attention.
