Chapter 660: The Transaction with Hope——
"have you eaten?"
Zhou Qing walked into the cave, quietly came behind Romantina and patted her shoulder.
"ah!"
This frightened Romantina so much that she suddenly woke up and stopped thinking about it. She couldn't help but get angry, "You interrupted my thoughts! How can I make amends?"
As he spoke, the angry red on his face turned slightly pink.
"The fact that you were interrupted proves that your thoughts are like catching the moon in the water, visible but untouchable. I helped you, so what am I apologizing for?"
This wasn't Zhou Qing's excuse. After all, the fact that she was interrupted by his words and couldn't remember anything afterwards proved that her accumulation was not enough.
If it was enough, how could it be interrupted?
On the contrary, under the condition of insufficient accumulation, if one enters into enlightenment and fails, it will be fine. But if one succeeds, one may misjudge one's own accumulation, so that one's self-confidence turns into arrogance, and one will definitely fall in the future.
It’s better to interrupt it!
But Zhou Qing only pointed at it and took out the roasted dragon mane snail dove from the gray bag. He also called the bunny girl who was sitting next to the empty shell of Namichi's soul to come and eat together.
"how did you do that?"
Hope looked at the bunny girl and Romantina who were eating barbecue, and asked a seemingly inexplicable question.
But in fact, I am wondering why Romantina and Bunny Girl don’t have to pay any price to eat Zhou Qing’s barbecue?
"This [Equivalence Rule] relies on the word 'heart', isn't it?" Zhou Qing asked with a smile, "I got this meat for free. It has no value, so I don't have to pay for it."
Isn't it free?
He did not participate in the process of hunting the dragon mane snail dove at all. He just put in some effort in repairing and grilling. But with the mentality of being willing to help others without asking for anything in return, what value does he actually need to gain?
It can be seen from this that the rules of [equivalent exchange] are not complete. It is absolutely not all about the heart, but we still have to choose a general equivalent as a medium and act as currency to make it complete.
If it were in the outside world, unless all living beings were as pure as this mutated form of Namichi, there would definitely be chaos.
Hope was speechless and talked about another thing: "The space in Nami Village has been producing an extremely weak vibration since before. Do you know what's going on?"
"Maybe part of Etarga has returned to Nami Village."
Zhou Qing was also aware of the shock in Nami Village. It must be that Nami Village itself sensed that its biological daughter had returned and became instinctively excited.
"is it?"
Hope bowed his head, looked at the bunny girl who was eating barbecue, and said, "Ribbitna, I'm setting you free. During this time, have you seen Namichi's memories?"
"I see." The bunny girl stopped eating the barbecue and looked at Hope. "But I don't understand, what on earth do you want to do?"
"Namichi's last daughter, Jia, is also Namichi's reincarnation. What I want to do is to make her complete."
Hope said, "Ribitna, we are all dead, but you are still alive, and you will continue to live in the future. This is Namichi's hope and our hope."
The bunny girl was silent for a while and continued to eat the barbecue.
This is agreed.
She is not a pedantic person, on the contrary, her thoughts are very advanced, otherwise, as a woman, she would not call Namichi, who is also a woman, "wife". "I will take Namichi to go deeper!" After eating the barbecue, the bunny girl said faintly, "Although Namichi has always wanted to be a mother, in essence, she wants to explore with everyone... This time, Namichi, no, it should be Etarga, she will definitely find a good partner."
Hope glanced at Zhou Qing and said calmly, "They just hired you as guides, right?"
"Who can tell about this kind of thing?" The bunny girl smiled slightly: "People's identities are always diverse."
"Too."
Hope said no more, but just sighed, "If I have the chance, I also want to watch Atalja grow up... and be a qualified father."
Hope is naturally not Namiqi's father, he just loves Namiqi very much and wants to play the role of a father, but he does not directly recognize Namiqi as his daughter like Timitite.
Because compared to Timidite who only sympathized with Namichi, Hope knew how difficult it was to be a qualified father, so he was not fully prepared mentally.
but.
Sometimes thinking too much makes you miss opportunities, otherwise he might not have been transformed into the current appearance of a snake with a human face.
Unfortunately, no if.
but--
"How about we make a deal?" Zhou Qing suddenly asked.
"what?"
Hope asked.
"I can use another method to let you witness Atarja's growth. The price is that you live in my inner world and help me observe the rotation of the sun, moon and stars in the future. When you reach a certain stage, you don't need to work anymore, and you can decide whether to stay or leave."
That's right!
Zhou Qing took a fancy to Hope himself!
It has a human face and a snake body. Although the color is different, it does have some flavor of Zhulong, and it comes from the Xingri Kingdom in the Sun and Moon Continent.
During the Douluo Dalu II period, the martial souls of the Sun-Moon Empire's royal family were the Sun and the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon. The martial soul of the second prince of the Star-Sun Kingdom also had the rhythm of the light of the sun, moon and stars. It was not pure light, but it did have some similar connection with the stars, especially the sun.
As we all know, the Douluo Dalu series is not a fantasy world with a round sky and a square earth, but a world of planets, galaxies, milky ways, and the universe. More than 99% of the stars visible to the naked eye in the night sky are stars like the sun.
Hope has such a connection with the sun. Moving into the inner world can assist him in cultivating the acupoints throughout his body in the future, which can correspond to the sky full of stars outside Douluo Star and reflect them in the inner world. I wonder how much effort this can save him in cultivation.
But this does not mean that Hope has to help with the work all the time. It is just to assist Zhou Qing to understand faster and better the operation of the stars and galaxies in the outside universe observed based on Douluo Star and Douluo Galaxy.
Once Zhou Qing finds the movement rules of all the stars outside Douluo Star, he can match them one by one on his own without Hope's help. Then it will be up to Hope to decide whether to stay or leave. But staying can save Zhou Qing the time of doing it himself, and in this process, Hope can also gain great benefits as his overall cultivation level will be improved and his inner vision will be expanded.
After learning that there was such a world inside Zhou Qing's body, Hope was greatly surprised and said, "Isn't this the same as Nami Village? Even more open! It's just that there are fewer people, and it's more wild..."
"I agreed!"
Although Hope agreed, he was unable to enter Zhou Qing's inner world.
It turned out that everything he had belonged to Nami Village. Only when he died and only his soul and martial spirit were left, could he be truly free and live in Zhou Qing's heart.
