"Your Excellency asked me to go to Kunlun, not for your son?"
"Ying Fu, when did you become kind? It was you who led the Jiang Di tribe to smash Kunlun. Why are you talking about the fellowship with me now?"
"Your Excellency, Shenzong does not know it. For the sake of kinship, could you please help Shenzong? Aftter all, Black Emperor is the most respected person of Shenzong."
"You are becoming confused as you are getting older. You know that Black Emperor is harmful to me, but are still so stubborn."
"If Your Excellency promised it, the Jiang Di"s underground influence will be under your control."
It seemed that Ying Fu had made up his mind this time. To help Kunlun, he was willing to hand in the Jiang Di tribe"s influence, and he was finally relieved. In other"s eyes, Ying Fu was the Heavenly Emperor, but only Emperor Jun knew that many people did not take Ying Fu seriously. Besides, his s.p.a.ce for survival had been compressed with little left. The reason why Ying Fu allied with Pangu family was to gain more benefits. But unexpectedly, Black Emperor got the Pangu Divine Being Heavenly Book...
"Take it... don"t come later..."
After a streak of spirit light, the map of Si Shui fell into Ying Fu"s hand. On the main hall, Emperor Jun was waiting for Ying Fu"s dark talisman. Only with the dark talisman could he take over Jiang Di"s power in a real sense. Ying Fu used his blood as a lure to press the dark talisman from his body. Emperor Jun condensed Spirit Power to absorb the dark talisman. "The dark talisman that can rule the Jiang Di tribe belongs to me finally. Black Emperor, I don"t know whether you are able to return to Cuihua Mountain. During the time that you have been imprisoned, the three realms are not your three realms. The place you created to all the creature to live will be a living h.e.l.l. Your intention to build the three realms was to suppress one another mutually, but in the end, human is the weakest and greediest part. In such a world where the great fish eat up the small, perhaps human will be extinguished at last."
Ying Fu walked out of the hall and smoothed the pleats on his garment. The little servant on the palace gate hid in the corner with fright when seeing Ying Fu came out. Ying Fu kicked him heavily, leaving the little servant so dazed that he could see the stars.
"I will not come here later. Look at yourself, how timid you are."
"Really..."
The small official patted the chest to calm down his heart. Ying Fu"s face was as dark as the bottom of the pot, and he gave out another kick. It should be the last farewell to the royal palace. When Ying Fu returned, his resented face finally lit up. At night, the candle was still on in the bathroom. There was no doubt that the young man was taking a bath. Ying Fu walked closer and waved his spiritual fingers to put out the candle. A growl rang inside. Ying Fu said to himself, "Dared you to follow me! You will be like this door." The door was broken crash into pieces. Ying Fu became invisible and flew into his own wing room. But with only several steps, his body fell. Ying Fu looked around with shock. "But it is right! It is my bedroom!" While he was puzzling, Xu Linghe came in at a brisk pace.
"Young man, Why aren"t you in the bath room, but come here instead?"
"I can rest my heart to see you fall down."
Instead of being angry, Ying Fu felt delighted. "Shenzong is so pedantic, but can finally have such an interesting grand disciple. Well, the young man has somewhat demeanor as I was young."
In a courtyard not far away from Xu Linghe"s, it was totally different. Wuyou just put on clothes for her child in the morning, but less than an hour later, his clothes became dirt-sodden. Xiao Douya was busy playing in the locus pond, his sleeves sopping a lot. Wuyou came up and gave a slap on his hip. The child restively looked at Wuyou with tears in his eyes, unwilling to have his tears fall down. He just stared at his mother with his blameless eyes. Wuyou let out a long sigh, thinking whether she was a stepmother. The little child was only two years old, but he had had his own thought, waiting for Wuyou"s to make a concession. What would happen if he grew up? But thinking what her child looked like when he was born, Wuyou yielded to him, softhearted. The little boy stopped at last. "See! This is children, who makes use of your love and knock you down with tears!" Nie Xiaowu stared them on the wooden tower. "The child is so cute that even at his young age, he has known how to earn adult"s sympathy. He will be incredibly awesome when he grows up."
"Xiao Douzi, you get up so early."
"Uncle, I want to eat wolf milk."
Hearing the words of "wolf milk", Wuyou felt shiver in her heart. "My child cannot eat the wolk milk any longer. He is such a big boy that he should no longer take it." For Wuyou, wolves were rather hateful. Because the Teal Hill had been destroyed by the wolf pack. And later, the Wolf King died finally, and the wolf pack had to suffer the doom like the Teal Hill to become the prey of Chidi. "Chidi, I, Jiang Wuyou, will do unto you as you did unto me. To change the Mount Da Huang into my Teal Hill"s territory."
"Grandma, I want to eat an osmanthus cake."
Changxi was elated with Xiao Douya"s calling of "Grandma". "The little boy is so clever and comes up with some big idea when seeing I am going to visit patient out." But it worked well for Changxi. "The kid does have a inborn connection with me!" Changxi held the little hand, reluctant to leave.
"Grandma, remember it."
The little boy repeated it again. In his tiny heart, it was a kind of honesty and promise. Wuyou held him up and gazed after Granny Moon"s back.
During several months in the Immense Sea, Wuyou opened up a wasteland for planting vegetables in the backyard. In the past, Wuyou did not realize how interesting it was. But when she became a common person, Wuyou began enjoying the earthly life. In the field, the bean seedlings were spotted with some small flowers, while weeds started to creep under the vegetable rack. Not until then did Wuyou realise that planting vegetables was not as easy as she had imagined. When she finished loosening the soil, she found her child was not in sight. Wuyou looked for him back and forth like a chicken with its head cut off. At last, a tender and naive voice rang from the courtyard in the neighborhood. "Xiao Douya, little smart thing. Only within the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, he can talk with a stranger. It is not allowed." Wuyou walked on the bypa.s.s to the house. But when she saw the person in the courtyard, her heart almost stopped beating. In the courtyard, the man held the short bread and fed her child little by little. The man"s eyes gleamed with the sunshine, and his hands wiped the boy"s mouth carefully. Wuyou only wanted to freeze the moment when her family of three appeared in the same frame at the same time, but missed one another in different corners. Wuyou did want to rush toward him, hug him and said, "Linghe, how is everything with you?" But Wuyou did not have the courage to stand in front of him, because she was not so confident, courageous and straightforward as before. Because of love, Wuyou did care about her look, beautiful or ugly. Although there was only a wall separating them, the wall was inaccessible. "Linghe, let me look at you quietly... even if you have forgotten me..."
"Mom."
Seeing his mother, Xiao Douya ran at full speed toward her, and the short breads in his hands went everywhere. Wuyou walked slowly toward them, every step embracing her deep love. She only hoped the time could stay longer. Step by step, Xiao Douya threw himself into Wuyou"s arms. Xu Linghe silently gazed at the mother and her child disappeared out of the courtyard.
"Senior Brother Chengyi, the child is so cute."
"Yes. He has honey in his mouth, just like me at my young age."
"Senior Brother Head, it seems that you like him very much."
Xu Linghe smelled the milky scent of the fingertips. "The little boy is so clever. When can I have a kid like him?" Thinking about that, Xu Linghe could not help but laughing. "I hasn"t got married. How can I get a kid?"
On the way back, Wuyou kept crying. Her child kept wiping the tears for her. Maybe he was scared by her tears, and he burst into tears as well. Nie Xiaowu did not know what had happened. And Wuyou gesticulated to Nie Xiaowu embarra.s.sedly. Finally, it was explained that sand had fallen into her eyes.
Day after day, Wuyou led a happy life. When Granny Moon came back, Wuyou"s smile face welcome her. Although Wuyou could not speak, her ringing laughter infects all the family members.Wuyou made some new dishes in the meal, including Granny Moon"s favorite dish "large meatball". The steamed large meatball was sprinkled with some diced green onion, which added more tempting aroma and delicious taste to the dish. Nie Xiaowu served Granny Moon with the rice. Xiao Douya gazed at them with anxiety, so he dipped his finger into the dish juice and sucked it. Wuyou would rather hope her child could be more polite and should not become haughty and spoiled because of his young age and others" indulgence. But Granny Moon could not bear to see it any longer, so she gave a great meatball to Xiao Douya. The little boy jumped into Granny Moon"s arms, his oily hands leaving prints everywhere. With a look of frustration, Wuyou thought it was a must that Xiao Douya should go to school. Otherwise, how could he learn to behave himself well? On the other hand, if Xiao Douya knew that his mother would like to send him to the school, he would cut the greedy for food. The dinner finished in a cosy and warm atmosphere. After that, Granny Moon asked Wuyou to stay, because Granny Moon had made a decision during the supper that she would begin clean the woman"s muscles and bones. So many strangers came to the Immense Sea these days, and she guessed that they would come at Changxi herself. Therefore, Changxi was worried that if the woman did not have any Spirit Power to protect Xiao Douya, what should she do at that time? Getting along with the woman for a year, Changxi had known well about the woman and felt rea.s.sured to put the Divine Being Heavenly Book onto the woman"s hands. The reason why Changxi hid the Heavenly Book was not to let Chidi seized the Heavenly Book. However, so many years had pa.s.sed, but Chidi did not forget the Heavenly Book and tried to dominate the three realms. "Chidi, as to the thing you are thirsty for, I will make it unreachable to you in your lifetime."
"Xiaowu, take some medicinal herbs that can remove blood stasis."
"Granny, are you going to disintoxicate the poison for the woman?"
Nie Xiaowu was a little surprised. "Does Granny have naga"s elixir? But I was there while Granny was paying visits to patients. There was no trace of naga at all." Seeing Nie Xiaowu"s confused face, Changxi did not explain anything. As a matter of fact, herbal medicines were just a camouflage to cover up the whole thing. The real thing that worked was the Divine Being Heavenly Book. But Changxi would not let Nie Xiaowu know it, not because she did not trust Nie Xiaowu, but it was absolutely a great secret and everyone would be curious.
The hot-steaming bath bucket gave off the scent of herbal medicines. When water temperature dropped a bit, Granny took off Wuyou"s clothes and put her into the bucket. Wuyou was quite embarra.s.sed to be naked in the old woman, but Granny had said to acupuncture her later in order to let the herbal medicine flow to all of her veins. Even Wuyou"s mask was taken off by Granny. When the mask was moved from Wuyou"s face, she lowered her head, since it had been a long time since she showed her true face out. So Wuyou found it hard to adjust herself to it. Granny held the hair-like silver needles and acupunctured them for her. The needles looked pointed and sharp, but not so painful. Nie Xiaowu listened to what was happening inside across the door. There were some doubts in this heart. "Does Granny use the Divine Being Heavenly Book to save the woman?" But Nie Xiaowu said no to the question. "Because all the universe are craving for the Heavenly Book. Granny Moon will not give it to the woman? After all, compared to the Divine Being Heavenly Book, the woman is not worth mentioning." Just because of Nie Xiaowu"s wordly thought, he failed to get the Heavenly Book by a narrow chance. At that moment, Qiongqi spotted Nie Xiaowu, wondering, "Why is Xiaow lurking around outside the woman"s room?" Qiongqi had some suspects.
"Xiaowu."
Qiongqi"s sudden words startled Nie Xiaowu.
"Granny Moon is detoxicating the naga"s poison for the woman and having me guard here."
Nie Xiaowu was really good at telling lies. There were no such orders as guarding outside. But he was just afraid that Qingqi would see through him, so he had to make out a good case for himself. However, no matter how Xiwou made up, it would arouse a train of thoughts. After all, it was women who lived inside. Considering the scene where Granny Moon used the medicine herbs to detoxify the woman! Qiongqi was not so easy to play a fool on, and had been alert to Nie Xiaowu. As long as there might be anything harmful to Granny Moon, Qiongqi would be on guard. Although Nie Xiaowu did not go too far, it was still unusual to stand outside a woman"s wing room either for l.u.s.t or a scheme.
