novelActivate the Planted Agent
| ← Ch.149 | Ch.151 → |
The days of happiness were very short. Xu Linghe had to go back to the Jin City. At night, the family sat around the fire. Since the death of Shenzong, Changxi seldom went out and concentrated on studying the medical spirits. Tomorrow, her grandchildren would return to the Jin City. Wuyou cooked some dishes and asked Chengyi and Xiaoyou to come in the evening. The whole family were sitting by the fire. Knowing that his father was going to set out tomorrow, Xiao Douya was reluctant to leave him and stayed close to him. It had been a long time since Chengyi saw his Senior Brother last time, so Chengyi would like to have more conversations with his Senior Brother. Wuyou cooked hot soup for her husband to warm his stomach. Xiao Douya took a big chicken leg and put it into his younger aunt's bowl. The soy-sauced chicken legs were Xiao Douya's favorite.
"Aunt, when will the little brother see Xiao Douya?"
The little hands caressed the aunt's belly. The four-year-old child was curious about life, only looking forward to seeing the younger brother earlier. Although Wuyou's mother had gone to Kunlun, Wuyou felt assured as Granny Moon was taking care of Wuyou's younger sister. After a few months, Kunlun would meet a new life. The unruly little girl became a mother. Wuyou recalled when she met her younger sister firstly, her younger sister was just about 12 or 13 years old and was dressed in a lake-colored gauze, standing under the blue peach tree, and called her fairy sister. The time flew fast. It had been five years since she came to the human society. No one could foresee what it was like now. Wuyou got married and her child was four years old. The Little Fox grew up into a towering tree and protected her lovers and her people. The fate did treat her so well that it let her father resurrect to end her mother's lifetime regret. Xiao Douya wanted to sleep with a drooping head, and kept yawning. Wuyou helped him wash face and brush teeth. The child fell asleep immediately when touching the pillow. Chengyi recalled the embarrassing things in his childhood and sighed how time flew.
Chang Xi did not say a word. After the grandchild had come from the Jin City, she found that her grandchild's face looked unusual. She did not know whether he was too tired or there was something else hiding behind. Chang Xi was worried about him a lot. The dinner finished and all the people left. Before leaving, Chang Xi felt the pulses for Xu Linghe. Something worrisome happened. In Xu Linghe's body, there was Lu Yadao's Mysterious Clear Qi, which went against Kunlun's Divine Qi. If the Mysterious Clear Qi was not removed from the body in time, the grandchild would become weaker and weaker till all of his Spirit Power withered away. Although Chang Xi was a spiritual doctor, Lu Yadao's Mysterious Clear Qi was not included in the medical knowledge. Seldom people knew Lu Yadao in the three realms. Wasn't he imprisoned in the Chaos by Hongjun? How had the grandchild encountered him? Chang Xi could not figure out an effective prescription at that moment. But there was only a person who was able to dispel the Mysterious Clear Qi— the female disciple of the Creation Original Spirit, and the person had transformed herself into a spinel. Chang Xi would not give up for the sake of her grandchild, but she did not now where the spinel was.
Sun came out in Ao Ze finally. The snow on the roof melted, and water beads flowed along the eaves. Xiao Douya's little hands took the strings of water beads, and they rolled on his hands lovely. His little hands were covered with dust. Afraid the mother would get angry, he rubbed and washed his hands continuously. Today, the father was going to go back to the Jin City. Xiao Douya got up early, because he wanted his father to see how he cultivated Spirit Power. As for the shape-shifting taught by junior uncle master, Chengyi, Xiao Douya learned fast and became adept at it after two rounds. Xiao Douya gathered Spirit Power with his hands and spread the spirit fire in all direction. He thrust a palm at the bull's-eye. The fire bullet penetrated through the wooden target. Xu Linghe observed him from afar and thought that his child was really a good seedling for cultivating spirit, as his child had a knack to control spirits at the young age.
"If Xiao Douya sees you, he will be unwilling to let you go. Just leave quickly..."
"Madam, if time permits, come to the Jin City to see your husband. This is the planted agent's token. It is time for Kunlun to settle accounts. We will take revenge for Grandmaster and let the Three Leagues know that Kunlun is not a sickly feline. The blood of 20, 000 disciples could not shed in vain."
Xu Linghe took the green ring from his arms. In the sunlight, layers of silver light wrapped around the ring. The big hands held the little hands for a long time, unwilling to loosen. The woman's eyes were brimmed with eyes. She thought she was strong, but she still shed tears in front of her husband, and her thumb was circled by the ring. Xu Linghe felt guilty, because there burdens were his, but now the little woman shouldered them.
"My husband, take care of yourself."
Xu Linghe left slowly with so much reluctance in his heart, but he had to. This was Kunlun's people's foreordination. Seeing his father was about to leave, Xiao Douya rushed over and cried heartbreakingly. Wuyou held the child up.
Tears blurred the eyes. In order to see the father, Xiao Douya got up early; in order to let the father rest assured, Xiao Douya learned shape-shifting desperately. However, what was in the father's heart was the happiness of the children in the human realm. How could Xiao Douya not be sad?
"Mom, dad is the hero of the human realm, not Douya's hero..."
Xiao Douya took sulks, and his little hands wipes the tears. He was unwilling to turn around, even though he could not see his father's figure. His father hid in the depths of the clouds. Sad as he was, he still thought that his father was a hero, and a goal that Xiao Douya would learn from through his lifetime.
"He is not Douya's hero, but mom's hero..."
The child was too young to understand adults' thought. When he grew up, he would know that adults had their own unavoidable responsibilities. Just like Wuyou of many years ago, she used to misunderstand her father and believe that all the people in the world were happier than herself. The days with parents' company were the happiest. But when she grew up, she realized that apart from love, her parents had a lot of responsibilities. Wuyou understood her father, as well as her husband. But for her, she wanted nothing but protect the home to let her husband have a place to rest.
"Mom, dad is also Douya's hero..." The child became clear again, and clenched his fists.
"Xu Lin, you should practice shape-shifting by heart... Don't be lazy..."
Wuyou turned on a grave look, with her hands clasped behind the back. Xiao Douya's face fell. The person in front was Kunlun's Master, not Douya's mother. His eyes widened open, and he had never expected that his mother's grave look would be so scary. Wuyou hoped her child would grow up into a useful person. A mother always held high hopes for her child. It was true that her child did have high aptitude, but he could not neglect his studies. As Xiao Douya could see no trace that his mother would cool down, he knew that his mother had made up her mind, so he did not dare to behave in a spoiled manner and thought that he could not be discouraged as a real man. Then, he condensed his Spirit Power, but failed several times. His face got red, but he thought he could not lose face in front of his mother. He stretched out his legs and arms, with his eyes closed. He concentrated himself on gathering the Spirit Power on his fingers. Wuyou felt gratified to see her child like that. When the Spirit Power was formed into small energy ball, Xiao Douya opened his eyes, and the Spirit Power swirling among his fingers shone more brightly in the sunshine. Little spirit beast crawled out of the sleeves and held the energy ball. BANG! Little spirit beast was blown off on the ground, with limbs pointing up. Xiao Douya was also blown with hair up, and only white teeth could be seen on his black face. Things happened so suddenly that Wuyou could not dodge it as well. Her purple cloths was burned somewhere. Little Lingchong was waken up by the shake and crawled out, only to see its Master's look. It flew in circles excitedly, because it had not seen its Master's funny look. It could not adjust itself to the look.
"Junior Master's power is increasing day by day. I just haven't seen him for a few days, but his power does keep my eyes polished."
Little Lingchong became more arrogant and jumped from the Master's arm, and was caught exactly by Wuyou. It struggled and squeezed a few tears, looking at Xiao Douya for help with the hope that Junior Master could unclench the Master's fist. Xiao Douya gloated and neglected it. Wuyou flipped her spiritual fingers and sent Little Lingchong to take a hike. Little Lingchong was hung in the eaves and swayed back and forth. Although there was sunshine, it could not block Kunlun's icing air. It turned out that the Master did give a spiteful hand. Little Lingchong gathered blue light and burnt the ice to smoke. Then, it fell on the ground, and stars danced before its eyes.
"Chengyi, be strict with Douya..."
Chengyi held Xiao Douya up and thought that the child was really naughty, and perhaps had made the master annoyed.
"Little spirit beast made the trouble..."
The little boy glared at the little spirit beast, as his mother came out to punish him. Chengyi felt happy inwardly and thought that the Sect Master just wanted to suppress the little boy's finicky airs and the little boy should not cling to the Senior Brother too much, as adults had their own business. How could they accompany the children all day long? However, the child's sadness did not last overnight and forgot it in a blink.
"Uncle, just let me take charge of the younger brother in the future."
"Good. Douya will be a good brother."
Xiao Douya had an idea in the heart. He was the youngest in Kunlun, and now could finally have a chance to manage someone else. However, his younger brother was still in the aunt's belly. So the little boy wondered when he could manage his younger brother, and looked forward to the coming of the day.
In the backyard, Wuyou changed a clean clothes and touched the hole. It was her child's masterpiece, so she decided to keep it. Douya grew up day by day, but the woman in the mirror was still the same. She touched the ring. In the sunlight, it gave off lays of spirit light. Her husband said as long as the ring was opened, she could find the planted agent's place. Wuyou gathered Spirit Power and injected into the ring. After a flash of white light, Wuyou came to the Immense Sea. The ring did hide great ability. She could reach the royal court in a blink of an eye. The place which she had burnt to ruins was unexpectedly rebuilt more majestic than before.
The ring told her that the planted agent was in the royal court. Wuyou followed the ring, hoping to find that person as soon as possible. The streets in the Immense Sea was as prosperous as ever. Thinking of Kunlun that had been destroyed by the Three Leagues, Wuyou still hated these people. In order to rob the Heavenly Book, the Three Leagues launched sneak-attacks to Kunlun, and Shenzong, Ying Fu, as well as 20, 000 disciples died in the battle. As the Kunlun's Sect Master, Wuyou had her own responsibilities. Today was the day when the Immense Sea called souls. So every house was hung with wooden sword to exorcise evil spirits. Time flew!
It was another year. In the alley, the ring became brighter. Wuyou knew that the person she looked for was around. It was just a street away from the royal court. Wuyou flew into the courtyard. Judging from the yard's decoration, Wuyou guessed that it must be a woman. Wuyou pushed the door open softly. Cold fragrance filled in the air, and the table there was scattered with plum flowers with plum branches well placed in a colored-glaze bottle. It seemed the owner liked quiet. Wuyou held the candlelight and walked to the inner hall. She was right— the owner was really a woman. Then, Wuyou sat on the bed lightly. The woman on the bed slept on the side, so Wuyou could not see the woman's real face. Wuyou's spiritual fingers flipped the woman's hair and could see clearly the look. How could it be her? Who could expect that the planted agent of Kunlun was the person around Zhu Jiuyin? Wuyou swept her spiritual fingers, and the woman woke up. When the woman saw Wuyou clearly, the woman was scared into the quilt and thought how Jiang Wuyou could find here. Yes, she did burnt the house, but why couldn't Jiang Wuyou spare her since a year had passed? Yuan Xueyi took a look at Wuyou and hurried to shrink her neck. However, Wuyou kept staring at her, which frightened Yuan Xueyi to jump out of the bed. At that moment, Yuan Xueyi hoped nothing but to leave the house as soon as possible. But the moment Yuan Xueyi was about to leave the bed, she was cast the Fixed Body Technique.
"I just burnt the house. Is it so terrible that you will kill me?"
"It turned out that you burned it..."
In order to scare the woman, Wuyou raised her voice. But it sounded like fierce and frightening storm to Yuan Xueyi, because the woman before her was the Heavenly Book's master who could kill her as easily as pinching a nonentity to death. Yuan Xueyi tried to unleash the Fixed Body Technique, but her Spirit Power was too shallow.
"You burnt the house and should pay for it, right..."
"Just take my life!"
Thinking that she was unnecessary to live, Yuan Xueyi did not hesitate to die. In fact, she had plotted to let Zhu Jiuyin fall in love with her, however, she burnt the woman's house by accident. Now Zhu Jiuyin hated her, and Yuan Xueyi regretted very much.
"Why hate me..."
"He loves you."
"I have an idea to make your dream come true."
The ring radiated spirit light, and the light drilled into Yuan Xueyi in the Floating Light. Yuan Xueyi felt her heart was torn and ached. Wuyou activated the wristband, and then Yuan Xueyi suspended on the roof as lightly as a feather.
