As Zhao Ling looked at the exquisitely sculpted Bai Chenxiang, he called up the Diary Copy panel and started to vent.
Bai Chenxiang, I remember in the original novel, this girl's parents seemed to have passed away long ago, basically raised by Bai He.
But now this girl's parents are still alive. I wonder if they will still die early like in the original, leaving her all alone and miserable.
If they can't escape the plot kill of the original, her parents might die in the next few years.
Sigh, the original novel didn't even say how her parents died, so I can't even warn Bai He to take precautions.
Seeing such a cute little girl who might soon become an orphan, left to rely solely on her grandfather, I, Zhao, can't bear it.
I hope Bai Chenxiang's parents' death tribulation has passed. Perhaps their death tribulation in the original was due to being besieged by the Pope's Hall, and the Clear Sky Sect stood by and did nothing.
In that calamity, many members of the four affiliated sects perished.
This was also a crucial reason why the four affiliated sects completely broke ties with the Clear Sky Sect in the original novel.
It's possible, very possible. If Bai Chenxiang's parents' death tribulation really happened then, their death tribulation should have already passed.
However, I still need to be cautious. Since I've already taken the four affiliated sects under my wing, I'm responsible for their safety. I absolutely will not allow my subordinates to fall easily!
After finishing his thoughts, Zhao Ling clicked to upload the diary entry, which received an A- rating and awarded him the Primary Indestructible Demon God Body.
Zhao Ling's sword-like brows furrowed slightly. What was a Primary Indestructible Demon God Body? He had never heard of it before. Another new physique. This made Zhao Ling feel a bit speechless. Why didn't this damn system just directly upgrade his Advanced Barbaric War Body? Instead, it rewarded him with a Primary Indestructible Demon God Body? Could this Primary Indestructible Demon God Body be even more powerful than the Advanced Barbaric War Body? That shouldn't be possible, right?
Out of curiosity, Zhao Ling glanced at his personal attribute panel.

Because his two spirits, the Netherworld Demon Suppressing Pagoda and the Death God Scythe, had merged into one, forming the eighteen layers of void space in his dantian, he now had no spirits at all. However, he could still use the spirit abilities he used before, only their power was dozens, even hundreds of times greater. Moreover, he could easily use the power of the five elements, creating mountains, water currents, seas of fire, growing giant trees out of thin air, and even effortlessly manipulate spatial laws.
Currently, the only thing Zhao Ling couldn't do was manipulate time-related laws. However, he wasn't in a hurry; one had to eat one bite at a time to avoid overeating.
After Zhao Ling finished reading his personal attribute panel, he came before Bai Chenxiang, gently stroked her head, then turned to find Lou Gao and Tai Tan.
Meanwhile, Bai He squatted down somewhat seriously and reprimanded his granddaughter.
"Chenxiang, from now on, when you see him, you must call him Master, not 'Pig-Master'. Master, the master of 'owner,' not 'pig.' Don't you understand 'zhu' (master) versus 'zhu' (pig)?"
Then Bai He offered Zhao Ling an apologetic smile: "Master, I apologize, the child doesn't understand..."
Zhao Ling also smiled awkwardly: "It's fine, innocent childish talk, innocent childish talk."
He knew that Bai Chenxiang also wanted to call him Master, just like Bai He, but because she was so young, her pronunciation was a bit unclear, causing her to accidentally call him "pig-master," which was quite embarrassing. But how could an adult like himself get angry with a child?
Zhao Ling looked at the exquisitely sculpted and very cute little girl, then tentatively asked Bai He, "Old Man Bai, is she Bai Chenxiang? I remember seeing her once at your place when she was just born. I didn't realize she'd grown so much in the blink of an eye."
"Yes, she is indeed Chenxiang." Bai He gently stroked Bai Chenxiang's head with a benevolent expression, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Bai Chenxiang nodded, then tilted her head and looked at the Zhao Ling's Diary Copy that had appeared before her. She was very curious as to when this thing had appeared. Why had it suddenly appeared in front of her? She tugged on her grandfather's trouser leg, pointed at the illusory Diary Copy before her, and said in a childish voice to her grandfather, "Grandpa, Grandpa, look at this! What is this?"
Bai He followed his granddaughter's finger and saw a hammer, then said to Bai Chenxiang, "That's called an iron hammer. It's a hammer your Grandpa Titan and the others use for forging iron."
"No, no, Xiangxiang means this..." Bai Chenxiang pointed to the Zhao Ling's Diary Copy that was right in front of her. She was very confused. Was her grandfather's eyesight really that bad? Such a big, strange book, and Grandpa couldn't see it at all?
Bai He once again followed his granddaughter's finger and still saw the hammer, so he could only state again, "Xiangxiang, that's a hammer. It's yours..."
Bai Chenxiang rolled her eyes wildly at her grandfather. Be blind, Grandpa, just be completely blind. Such a big book was right in front of him, and he insisted on pretending not to see it?
Bai He didn't know why his granddaughter was rolling her eyes at him in dissatisfaction, and he was completely bewildered.
Bai Chenxiang, meanwhile, began to wonder what was inside the book. Perhaps sensing her intention, the book actually opened on its own. Then, a somewhat familiar and very pleasant voice entered her ears. Bai Chenxiang clearly remembered this voice as that of the Master her grandfather had just mentioned.
So Bai Chenxiang began to listen. Although she was now three or four years old, her parents and grandfather had taught her some characters. However, she didn't recognize most of the characters on the page. Therefore, she could only listen to the content. After listening to the content once, Bai Chenxiang was quite confused, not understanding what it meant. She couldn't help it; she was only a four-year-old girl, even younger than Ning Rongrong by half a year. Therefore, she had to listen several times before she could grasp some of its meaning.
Master praised me for being pretty and cute! Xiangxiang is so happy!
However, Master seemed to be talking about what would happen to her parents, but she didn't understand what "passed away" or "perished" meant. So she looked up and asked Bai He in confusion, "Grandpa, Grandpa, what do 'passed away' and 'perished' mean?"
Bai He's expression froze. Why was his granddaughter suddenly asking about these two inauspicious things? However, he patiently explained her curiosity. "It means to die. After dying, Xiangxiang won't be able to see that person anymore."
"What..." Bai Chenxiang's pupils immediately constricted. She wanted to say, Daddy and Mommy are going to die??? But she suddenly found that she couldn't say those words at all. Her mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't utter what she wanted to say...
