Chapter 762 Twins
"Fruit of life?" Seeing the fruit of life in his arms, Tao Zhi was so excited that he couldn't say anything.
"Miss Nangong, one will be enough." After the excitement, Tao Zhi took out one of the fruits of life and was about to stuff the remaining fruit of life back to Nangong Xi.
"It's okay, take it, just in case one is not enough." Nangong Xi smiled and shook her head.
Along the way, Nangong Xi discovered that people like Tao Zhi were actually quite simple and had good intentions, and he gradually became familiar with them.
"Miss Nangong, I don't know how to repay such a great kindness?" Tao Zhi's eyes were full of gratitude.
"You're welcome, just think of it as making friends. We accidentally entered this magical world of lights, and meeting you is fate, isn't it?" Nangong Xi smiled.
"Okay, Miss Nangong, I've decided to make you my friend. Why don't you live in our family first?" Tao Zhi looked at Nangong Xi.
"No, there are many of us, and it's not convenient for us to stay at your house. Let's find an inn to stay in." Nangong Xi refused directly.
"Living in an inn is never as comfortable as home. Miss Nangong, I have a villa that's not far from here and it's not small. Why don't you stay in my villa?" Tao Zhi suggested.
"Okay." Nangong Xi did not refuse this time.
So Tao Zhi personally sent Nangong Xi and the others to his own villa and arranged everything before leaving.
At this time in the Heihuan family.
There was an oppressive atmosphere everywhere.
Because they knew that without the Fruit of Life, Tao Mo, the family's number one genius, would have to go see the God of Lamp.
Although seeing the genie is a very holy thing, it is something everyone looks forward to.
But that's something that he's old at. Tao Mo is only twenty years old.
It is not a happy thing to go to see the genie at such a young age.
They also knew that Tao Zhi took people to Denghuan Mountain to search for the Fruit of Life, which was just a last-ditch effort to refuse to accept reality.
"Grandmaster, grandmaster, the young master is back." The housekeeper walked in with excitement in his eyes.
"Has he finally accepted the reality?" The ancestor of the Heihuan family sighed.
Tao Mo and Tao Zhi are twins. There is a rule in the Lantern Fantasy World that once twins are born, if there is no Fruit of Life when they are twenty years old, the one with better talent will dry up and die.
Now, there are less than three days left until Tao Zhi and his friends’ twentieth birthday.
This means that Tao Mo only has less than three days left to live.
"Ancestor, Ancestor." Tao Zhi ran in with excitement in his eyes.
Seeing Tao Zhi's expression, the Heihuan family's eyes lit up. Could it be that Tao Zhi really got to pick the fruit of life?
But is this possible?
I have used all my family's strength to search for it for twenty years, but I still can't find it.
"Zhi'er, could it be that..." The ancestor of the Heihuan family still had a glimmer of hope.
"Ancestor, I got the fruit of life." Tao Zhi's eyes were full of excitement.
The ancestor of the Heihuan family heard the key point in Tao Zhi’s words. He did not talk about what was picked, but what was obtained.
"Zhi'er, are you going to sacrifice yourself for your elder brother and agree to marry Ren Hua from the Baihuan family?" The ancestor of the Heihuan family looked at Tao Zhi with serious eyes.
Although the whole family really hopes to save Tao Mo.
But no one wants to save Tao Mo by sacrificing Tao Zhi.
Even Tao Mo himself was unwilling to do so.
“Zhi’er, if your eldest brother knew about this, he would definitely not want to take the Fruit of Life.” The ancestor of the Heihuan family sighed.
He knew that the two brothers had a good relationship since childhood.
"Grandfather, don't worry. I know my eldest brother's temper. Even if I trick him into taking the fruit of life, he will know that I will not survive. So I won't do that." Tao Zhi said with a smile.
"Where did you get the Fruit of Life?" The ancestor of the Heihuan family felt relieved after hearing this.
So Tao Zhi told his ancestor about his meeting Nangong Xi and the others, and how Nangong Xi gave him the Fruit of Life.
"You said that Miss Nangong gave you ten fruits of life?" The ancestor of the Heihuan family widened his eyes in disbelief.
"That's right, ancestor, let's go and save our eldest brother." Tao Zhi said as he took out the jade box containing the fruit of life.
When the ancestor of the Heihuan family took a look, he saw that there were indeed ten fruits of life neatly arranged inside.
"The rumors are true. The twins, one has excellent talent, and the other has incredible luck. Zhi'er is indeed incredibly lucky." Looking at Tao Zhi's back as he ran towards Tao Mo's residence, the ancestor of the Heihuan family sighed.
In Tao Mo's yard.
The Tao family head and his wife sat in his room, suppressing their sadness and forcing themselves to smile.
They had already discussed that even if they really couldn't keep their son, they would make sure he lived happily and easily in his last few days.
"Brother, brother, I got the fruit of life, I got it." Tao Zhi said as he rushed in excitedly.
"Azhi, have you agreed to the conditions of the Baihuan family?" Tao Mo looked at Tao Zhi with a serious face.
Although they are twins and the same age, Tao Zhi has been strictly controlled by his older brother since he was a child.
It can be said that in the entire Heihuan family, Tao Zhi doesn't listen to anyone, but as long as Tao Mo gives a look, he will immediately behave himself.
Therefore, seeing Tao Mo's serious face, Tao Zhi quickly told him again what happened when he met Nangong Xi and the others.
"Look, brother, I didn't lie to you. These are ten fruits of life. Yes, ten of them. The Baihuan family is not so generous as to give out ten fruits of life at once." After Tao Zhi finished speaking in one breath, he looked at his elder brother with a face full of grievance.
Seeing Tao Zhi's expression, Tao Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Brother misunderstood you." Tao Mo reached out and patted his head.
"Isn't it? Big brother was mean to me just now." Tao Zhi still felt very aggrieved.
"Then consider this pair of space earrings as an apology from big brother to you." Tao Mo smiled and took out a pair of blue earrings and gave them to him.
When Tao Zhi saw it, he immediately took it with great love.
I had liked this pair of space earrings very much when my eldest brother made them, but I was too embarrassed to ask for them.
Seeing Tao Zhi's eyes full of love, Tao Mo smiled.
In fact, he made this pair of earrings for Tao Zhi, but he just wanted to give them to him before he died.
At this moment, the Tao family head and his wife were so excited that they were speechless. The emotions that had been suppressed for many years burst out at this moment.
The couple hugged each other and burst into tears.
This feeling of lost and regained may be their deepest experience at this moment.
"Brother, eat it quickly, eat it quickly." Tao Zhi took out a fruit of life and handed it to Tao Mo with trembling hands.
Tao Mo nodded, took it and started to chew it.
After taking a fruit of life, Tao Mo's vitality not only stopped dissipating, but was recovering visibly.
"It works, it works, big brother, eat another one, eat another one quickly." Seeing this, Tao Zhi excitedly handed over another one.
