novelLittle Fox's Hunsband Came to the Immense Sea
| ← Ch.064 | Ch.066 → |
Looked from afar, Granny's figure reflected in the sunset. Wuyou held her baby and went down the Bamboo Tower. The baby got rid of his mother and toddled into Granny's arms. Seeing the little toy in Granny's hand, the baby kissed Granny in great delight. The people present were all amused at him. Nie Xiaowu held up the little boy and flew high. The tender laughter echoed in the sunset. Nie Xiaowu took the fish that Granny had bought and stepped up to the kitchen. Those friends coming from all corners of the Immense Sea were really like family, even serious Qiongqi was also cheerful, never expecting that he would be so simple like that.
After dinner, Granny Moon felt at a loose, so she took up her needling again to make summer clothes for the child. After the baby was asleep, Wuyou came out of the courtyard. Nie Xiaowu kept staring at the woman, wondering why she still came out at night. Nie Xiaowu followed her out all the way. Looked in the distance, the woman sat alone under the moon. Although the bright moon hung high in the sky, the woman looked so desolated. Obviously, she pretended to be optimistic in the daytime to support a peaceful sky for her child.
Nie Xiaowu cast a shape-shifting spell and flew up. Wuyou raised her head and spotted a dancing squirrel. She did not expect that the squirrel also wore a mask, which was as ugly as her. The squirrel understood human well, and it jumped onto the Monkey Tree and picked up fruit for Wuyou."What a familiar scene. When I first came to the human world, I could also enjoy such view. Although I was a fugitive of the Teal Hill, I was also a naive little fox. But now, everything has changed completely. I am married with a common person and have a child. I went through so many hardships all the way. Although my husband is still alive, when can I meet him?"
Wuyou took the fuzzy wild fruit. The fruit looked ugly, but tasted delicious and sweet. Nie Xiaowu looked at the woman silently. He only wanted the woman to know that appearance was not the most important, just like the little wild fruit. Ill-looking as it was, its fruit flesh was so delicious.
Wuyou did not think that the squirrel had such spirituality. Her hands stroked the fuzzy fruit."It is right that the fruit looks deformed like me, but it has its own charm under the plain appearance."
Sitting in the moonlight, Wuyou closed her eyes and concentrated. Since she was poisoned by Ming Zhu, Wuyou could not find Ancient Spirit's trace. In this deep and quiet place, Nie Xiaowu sat on the tree, looking at the woman in the distance. She wore a painful expression, but Nie Xiaowu could not do anything to help her, but just quietly accompanied the woman. Why he transformed himself into a squirrel was not to give pressure to the woman. The woman seemed to be gentle with lofty and unyielding character inside. Time was passing. Wuyou wanted to strip the soul and look for her Ancient Spirit. But except for the piercing pain in the bones, nothing could be found. The Ancient Spirit did disappear from her body. Wuyou felt an inexpressible pain. But when she saw Granny Moon again, her face broadened into a smile as bright as the sun in the early spring sun. Nie Xiaowu knew that this woman did not want everyone to worry about herself.
"Come and have a look if the clothes is fit or not."
Wuyou felt at a loss suddenly."When did Granny buy the material?" Wuyou felt her black robe, not knowing what to do next.
"Come here. Try it on."
Changxi smoothed the clothes for Wuyou. The pink gauze dress brightened Wuyou. If her face had not been deformed, the woman must be beautiful and refined.
"This is for the child. To see if it is suitable. I made it by rough measurement."
If a person had a good thought, even if he/she lost everything, he/she would not despair. Wuyou was warmed by the old woman. Even if there were thousands of words, Wuyou was unable to speak them out and had no regrets since she could meet Granny Moon in the strange place. Looking at Granny Moon with tears, Wuyou thought, "If it had not been for Granny Moon's good deeds, my child and I would have died, " and then Wuyou knelt down slowly to pay her gratitude to her benefactors. When Changxi helped Wuyou up, a doubt look flashed on Changxi's face."The woman's Spirit Power is much stronger than a few days ago. It seems that this Spirit Power has been protecting the woman, but today the Spirit Power is abnormal." Just now when Changxi touched the woman, the woman's sparse Spirit Power dared to attack her. Changxi frowned, and the strange Spirit Power reminded her of an old friend—her deceased Senior Brother, Jiangyu. When it came to Senior Brother Jiang, Changxi was filled with remorse. Thinking back to the past, Changxi, for her self-interest, deceived Shenzong and Senior Brother Jiangyu to the Xiaoyao Grotto-heaven and fell into Chidi's trap. Consequently, not only had Changxi lost her daughter, but also Senior Brother Jiang had been involved in the trouble. Then, to save their First Senior Brother, Senior Brother Jiang's soul had been scattered. Therefore, Changxi felt guilty for Senior Brother Jiangyu. And to her surprise, Senior Brother Jiang's Spirit Power was in the woman's body, and the woman renewed her life on these Spiritual Qi. Changxi knew that the Ancient Spirit only served for the Teal Hill's Elders."Is the woman an Elder of the Tea Hill?" Changxi had forgotten the things in the three realms, but only remembered that after Senior Brother Jiang's death, his son succeeded to his Elders' position. But the woman looked only about 200 years old."Is she Jiangyu's granddaughter?" Such deduction made Changxi ecstatic, since she had been tortured in the guilt. She would feel better if she could give a hand to Jiangyu's granddaughter. In fact, to save the woman, using the naga's elixir was a method to solve the woman's poison, and Pangu's Divine Being Heavenly Book was the other way."The woman does have a special link with the Heavenly Book. The Heavenly Book that all the three realms hunger for is just a life-saving straw for the woman." The woman in front caressed carefully the new clothes. Although the woman couldn't speak, Changxi knew that she was expressing her gratitude to her.
Granny Moon did care about Wuyou. However, Nie Xiaowu felt the storm in his heart. On the one hand, Granny Mood was a kind old woman. If it had not been for the problem of Heavenly Book, they would be bound to be like a family. On the other hand, Nie Xiaowu himself carried the fate of Pangu family. Therefore, Granny Moon could only be his enemy. But Changxi did not realize that she was in a growing trouble, and still felt lucky that she could have such a family member. Not far away from the Bamboo Tower was a private dwelling, which was located in a hidden place. The house's owner looked a bit mean and was fond of bargaining. Xu Linghe doubted whether the owner was an old friend of Junior Uncle Grandmaster."Perhaps the house's owner has been living in the Immense Sea for a long time, so he has some philistine habits and bargains with me for more benefits. If he were not an elder, I would certainly compete with him."
"Ying Fu, you said Si Shui..."
The old man called Ying Fu did not spare a glance at Xu Linghe who had come from afar."The young man whose mustache hasn't grown well dares to be level with me! Thinking back to those days, Shenzong and I took up the wine cup and chatted merrily. This young guy was still nobody. I don't care he is the Head or not. I enjoy some reputation in the Immense Sea, and every hidden influence will do me a favor, to some extent. Well, the guy dares to ask me to listen to him! It is known that Black Emperor's divine spirit is constrained in Si Shui, but no one knows where the soul ground is in Si Shui."
"Ying Fu prioritizes profit above all else."
"Young man, what do you take me for? The things that I want haven't appeared in the three realms. But I heard that the Pangu Divine Being Heavenly Book have the superpower to drive all the spirit. I do want to see if it is true or false."
"Really big talks. But unfortunately, the whereabouts of the Pangu Heavenly Book is unknown."
"Young man, in the territory of the Immense Sea, I still have some influence. Several days ago, my subordinate persons detected that someone holding the Book came to the Immense Sea. Even a person has come here from the Mount Da Huang. Needless to say, I think you can guess who is the person."
"The Pangu's Divine Being Heavenly Book is in the Immense Sea?"
"Unbelievable? But it never leaves the Immense Sea."
"But Black Emperor telepathized the Grandmaster to pay attention to Zhu Jiuyin. If the Divine Being Heavenly Book never leaves the Immense Sea, why Zhu Jiuyin bothered to help Chidi? By doing so, Zhu Jiuyin will have one more powerful opponent to rob the Divine Being Heavenly Book with him."
"Young man, Zhu Jiuyin hates the three realms created by Black Emperor a lot. If Chidi becomes Devil God, he will be a big problem for Kunlun. Zhu Jiuyin just wants to see infighting of the same sect. He is more than happy to see that."
"I should save Black Emperor from Si Shui first. I feel indebted to Grandmaster, while Black Emperor raised up Grandmaster. But how can I save Black Emperor's divine spirit?"
"I want to go to a place tonight to see if the person knows passageway to Si Shui. But the person is really a big shot. If you follow, you will suffer the consequences."
"Who is he that can make you filled with awe? I want to see as well."
"I am an idler in the three realms. I don't care about other people's affairs, but your Grandmaster is my old friend. Even if there is a cradle to the grave ahead, I will have a try. So you can count on me for Black Emperor's matter."
"Grandmaster said you are loyal to friends, and sure enough you are."
"This is a flattering... but it's still quite useful."
"The old man is so eccentric and arrogant. The person who he reveres is not a common person." After dinner, Xu Linghe was paying attention to what happened to the eastern wing room. Now it was hard for Ying Fu to detect Xu Linghe's Spirit Power. Not until at the time of the rat did the door of the eastern wing room open. Ying Fu draped a bamboo hat. The golden bamboo hat was so eye-catching that it covered Ying Fu's powerful aura. It seemed that Ying Fu did fear the person, otherwise, he would not studiously wear like that. Xu Linghe observed Ying Fu's true body. When Ying Fu dashed into the sky, Xu Linghe could see clearly that the old man's true body was a beast-like creature from the Jiang Di tribe. It was an ancient tribe. Unexpectedly, the old man belonged to the tribe which was on the edge of being extinct. The Jiang Di tribe was an indispensable tribe for Emperor Jun when he fought in the Nine-level Sky. But Xu Linghe did not expect that the Jiang Di tribe had been hiding in the Immense Sea. On the cloud sea, Ying Fu kept gazing around. It seemed that he was quite hesitant. Xu Linghe transformed himself into a wisp of smoke to follow him, wonder inwardly, "Who is the person on earth that can startle Ying Fu?" Ying Fu went through the cloud and stopped in a thick forest. Xu Linghe thought the person Ying Fu wanted to see was in the forest, so Xu Linghe hid himself there. Viewed from afar, the old man looked quite anxious. But when Xu Linghe came closer, a spout of water fell. Xu Linghe did not care too much, but condensed his Spirit Power and thrust forward. Then, Ying Fu gave out a cold snort, hitched up his trousers and flew to the clouds. Not until then did Xu Linghe realized that he had been fooled by the old man. The old man just wanted to warn Xu Linghe that, if Xu Linghe dared to peek again, it was not so simple as peeing. When Xu Linghe came back to earth, Ying Fu had disappeared from the cloud sea already.
"Is the Master in?"
The small official who guarded the palace gate glanced at Ying Fu."The old man again! Last time, to get some wine to drink, he knocked Emperor Jun's wine tank over. Will he come here again to steal something?" The official looked at him alertly, afraid that he would be tricked by the old man again in an unguarded moment.
"I am asking you."
Ying Fu snapped his fingers, which scared the official to shiver. The official thought, "The eccentric old man is rampant and domineering before me, but acts like a mouse in front of Emperor Jun."
"Master asks you to come in."
At the entrance of the palace, Ying Fu huddled his back without an arrogant air. On the main hall, the man on the chair was as majestic as ever, even Ying Fu felt imposed and dwarfed in the presence of him. Ying Fu fluffed out his golden bamboo hat and knelt down to the man, while the man on the superior chair looked lenient.
"Why do you come here?"
"Kunlun's Shenzong has a request of me. I can't reject it."
"Well, I see."
"Master, could you grant me a map of Si Shui?"
"Fu, Shenzong's master has been imprisoned in Si Shui. If he is released, it will only bring nothing but harm to me."
"Master, Shenzong is your descendant!"
"Do I care?"
