The Fondest Love Is to Accompany

The Resurrection Jar flew back into Jiang Wuyou's body. She felt herself wrapped by a warm current. Wuyou floated in the center of the pagoda airily.
Xu Linghe stared nervously at the little woman in the Spirit Power, hoping the divine power of the Resurrection Jar could save his little woman.
The little wandering pill spirit opened Wuyou's muscles and veins. The Ancient Spirit was waking up. Wuyou could feel that her Spirit Power was moving up and down and her heart was surging in the chest.
The Spirit Power in the Resurrection Jar flowed continuously into her body. The floating Spiritual Qi swirled around her as warm as sunshine.
Nourished by the Resurrection Jar, Ancient Spirit stretched out. Wuyou floated in the air as light as a feather. Purple Spirit among her fingers lit up the pagoda brightly. She descended slowly into warm arms. A familiar scent wafted into her nose.
"Linghe, is it you?"
Her little hands clasped Xu Linghe tightly, and the small face buried in his arms finally lifted up. The man in front was in snow-white clothes with white hair, and the intertwined silver hair fell into her hands. Wuyou could not stop her tears dropping down.
"You are a fool. Why do you pierce my heart? Look at you."
The white hair among her fingers tore up Wuyou's heart.
"If you are not alive, what is good for living as long as the Heaven? Grandmaster said I was involved with the person of purple blood through my whole life. Or do you want to go against the Heaven and abandon me?"
"Linghe, if you are hurt, I will feel sorrier."
"Jiang Wuyou, listen, as long as you are alive, I can give up everything."
"Well, I will live, just live for my Linghe."
Wuyou stared at him with great affection. The man had a broad mind and solid arms to shelter the wind and rain."I have no regret at last."
"You have to remember what you said today..."
The little black-haired man looked at them who hugged each other tightly and cried. Lin Xiaosa took him out of the pagoda. In such a soft moonlight, Li Xiaosa was eager to see his little Di Li.
"Master Lin, can love in the world make people defy death? Senior Brother, for his lover, even ignored his own life."
"You are still too young to know what love is. If you can meet a girl you love someday, you will know what is called 'difficult to sleep and tasteless to eat'."
"Master Lin, if I have to be like Senior Brother and my hair turns white overnight, I'd rather be alone."
"Do you? I really want to see that you, Chengyi, are stranded for the sentiment."
"Master Lin, King of Jiangdu has gone to the palace for some days. Why doesn't he come back? The elder brother does not care about his young sister?"
"Your Senior Brother has his own arrangements. Perhaps King of Jiangdu has forgotten us."
"Master Lin, have an early rest."
The little black-haired man ran away swiftly. Lin Xiaosa walked to the backyard along the path. Thinking that he had not seen Di Li for some days, he stepped up his pace.
Lin Xiaosa looked at the wing room in the distance, wondering whether Di Li slept or not. He came closer and was about to knock at the door when a gust of wild wind blew through the door. And Lin Xiaosa was rolled away several meters away, later came Di Li's cry for help. Lin Xiaosa chased after the voice but could not find Di Li. Lin Xiaosa let out a cry secretly."Terrible!" And flew back into Di Li's room with the wind.
There was a woman lying on the floor. With a closer look, Lin Xiaosa took a weight off his mind. The woman turned out to be Di Li. Lin Xiaosa pick her up in his arms and put her onto the bed. Looking at the little sleeping woman, Lin Xiaosa smiled and shook his head. How could she sleep so sound and sweet when something loud happened?
Lin Xiaosa stepped out of the inner room and looked around. He did not find anything unusual. Di Li on the back looked at his retreating figure nonchalantly."The man is really silly to take me for Di Li." Ming Zhu got more satisfaction from the thought.
It seemed that Wolf King's illusion was rather good which could changer her into Di Li so skillfully imitated. To get the divine devices of antiquity times, she had to become Di Li temporarily for a few days, hoping Lin Xiaosa would help her.
"Brother Lin."
"What a strange voice! Even the voice is not my own."
"Li'er, what's wrong? Why is the voice not like yours? Are you too scared?"
Ming Zhu recalled Di Li's appearance, so she softened her voice with some naive tenderness. She could not have Lin Xiaosa spot anything unusual. She merely hoped that she could get away with it. Perhaps the man was too simple to suspect her. Ming Zhu felt secretly pleased.
Lin Xiaosa looked at indolent Di Li, whose white neck was exposed slightly with pink and tender skin. Lin Xiaosa's face was so hot. Li'er in front became more attractive, her clear eyes gleaming with chant. Ming Zhu looked at flushed Lin Xiaosa and felt some regretful. Wolf King changed her into Di Li while the genuine one had been already taken away by Wolf King to somewhere.
"Brother Lin, I just had a nightmare. Someone wants to kill me."
"It won't happen. Don't be afraid. I will be with you."
Lin Xiaosa placated Di Li until Di Li calmed herself down.
"Xiao Li, I just saw you lying on the floor when I entered the room. It did scare me a lot. Xiao Li, have you seen a black-clothed man?"
"Brother Lin, have you seen?"
"Yes. When knocking on the door, a man in black passed through the door, and I heard you crying for help. So I went out to chase him, but he had disappeared. Later, I came into the room and found you lying on the ground. Then, I felt relieved."
Fortunately, Lin Xiaosa did not see the black man clearly. Ming Zhu stared at Lin Xiaosa, wanting to see something different from his eyes. But the man's eyes were bright like firework.
Ming Zhu dared not to look at the eyes. In order to get the divine device, she had Wolf King to reave Di Li away. For her selfish desire, Ming Zhu did harm to an innocent girl ruthlessly."Blame on Jiang Wuyou, why is she always shadowing around?"
"Brother Lin, several days ago, I saw Brother Xu holding a woman back. But today, I find she has gone."
"Li'er, do you want to know this Miss, right?"
Brother Lin, you know her!"
Ming Zhu put on a look of surprise, hoping that Lin Xiaosa would not doubt her. After all, she was not Di Li. Ming Zhu was afraid that if she showed the cloven foot accidentally, Lin Xiaosa would suspect her. Lin Xiaosa looker at Di Li without any jealousy. At that moment, Lin Xiaosa was bathed in happiness.
"Xiao Li, she is Jiang Wuyou of the Teal Hill. She is back."
"Ah! Brother Lin, who is the woman on the jade bed?"
Ming Zhu thought that Di Li was witty and naughty, so Ming Zhu rotated her eyeballs and hoped Lin Xiaosa did not spot any flaw.
"It is Jiang Wuyou's true body."
"I don't understand why Jiang Wuyou could be brought back to life again. She has lost all her souls, hasn't she?"
"Li'er, there is something you don't know. Jiang Wuyou has Ancient Spirit to protect herself, so her souls can live as long as the Heaven."
"Really?"
Ming Zhu's expression darkened a bit with some bitterness in her heart. She did not expect that Jiang Wuyou was so lucky that she could have the immortal body that could live as long as the Heaven."What should I do?"
"Brother Lin, Brother Xue finally gets his happiness. I am happy for him. Pity that the elder sister left in a hurry. I have no chance to see her."
"The elder sister is hurt. And your brother Xu is healing the wound for her. I just returned from his courtyard."
"Is she still here?"
"Yes! She has been concealed in a pagoda by your Brother Xu. No devil can approach the pagoda."
"You meant the demon-suppressing pagoda, an ancient instrument. That girl does not fear the pagoda?"
"She has boarded in common people's body, so she is not afraid of the pagoda."
Upon hearing, Ming Zhu could not conceal her excitement. It seemed that it was more convenient to turn into Di Li.
This was a sleepless night. Lin Xiaosa could not think that the person in his arms was transformed by the naga. The naga made reckless moves for love and traded with the devil. But common people did not understand that love feared scheme most. The more desperately to chase, the harder to get. Perhaps it would not be available in the lifetime.
In the demon-suppressing pagoda, their sugary love was well-illuminated by the Spirit Power. Xu Linghe brushed his spiritual fingers, and the reincarnation mirror came out of the Heaven and Earth Pouch. Xu Linghe read the incarnation, and then the reincarnation mirror flashed a layer of spirit light, keeping changing. Seven-colored Spirit Power spread layer by layer. Wuyou saw herself when she was still a kid.
What the mirror showed was the scene 200 years ago. In streams of light, a mother cuddled a baby in a sea of flowers like Penglai Fairyland.
A man was standing under a green peach tree. With a look like blossom peach, her mother stared at the man in the distance. The little baby pulled her mother's hair and chuckled naively. When her mother called the man Jiang Tian, Wuyou choked with sobs. The man was her father. It turned out that Wuyou herself was also a treasure in her parents' palms when she was very young.
Wuyou looked at her father in the mirror. Her scar in her heart was torn again. In the mirror, her father had a furious fight with Wolf King. In order to protect the Teal Hill and his wife and daughter, her father abandoned his true body willingly and turned into a giant stone. Her mother held her in the arms and stumbled through the tribulation.
In the mirror, her mother looked at her lover disappeared from her eyes, but she could do nothing. At that time, how painful her mother's heart was!
"Linghe, thank you for letting me know the truth 200 years ago. My parents love me and never deserted me."
"My girl, your mother left you for some unavoidable reason. You are so lovely. How can your parents not love you?"
"For so many years, I have never dreamed of them. I think that I have forgotten them. But the truth is that I hid them in my heart."
When Xu Linghe lifted the reincarnation mirror, Jiang Wuyou saw that her mother come out of the mirror and get closer to her. Wuyou looked at her mother, tears flowing down like a broken-dike. She could not stop her tears but just stare at the figure that she had been cherishing in her heart. Not until the figure got blurred did Wuyou kept wiping the corners of her eyes. She merely hoped to see more clearly, and was afraid that the familiar figure would abandon herself again.
"Xiao You."
Wuyou held her mother tightly, because there was the most familiar feeling of childhood. It turned out that the mother's arms were so warm. Wuyou could finally meet with her mother again after 200 years.
"Linghe, I have my mother to cherish me now."
Wuyou cried with joy, her eyes overflowing with dependence on her mother. Xu Linghe looked at his little woman with warmth in his heart. In the world, no matter the ties of kinship or love, the most affectionate is to accompany. As long as the little woman was happy, he would accompany her for long.
"Xiao You, I will never go. I will be with my You'er."
"Mother, for so many years, where have you been? I have been looking forward to seeing you for 200 years."
"Xiao You, when your father left us, my mother's heart was very upset. I wanted to follow your father. When I looked at you in my arms, you were so cute and well-behaved. I could not bear myself to leave you then. But I could not rationalize your father's death. One day, I met your uncle, Jiefei. He saw you were clever and decided to accept you as a disciple, I entrusted you to him and dissolved my essential souls. To my surprise, I happened to encounter the flood in the human's world. So I had to twirl through three realms. With a lucky chance, I could be reborn in a salt merchant's family in the human's world and named Hou Qing. At that time, I was 16 years old and married to the legitimate son, Han Qianyi, of Han family."
"Mother, is your family in the human's world Han family in Jiangnan?"
"Yes. I had a daughter with Han Qianyi named Chiyou."
"It turned out to be Han family in Jiangnan."
Wuyou had mixed feelings. Besides Wuyou, there was someone else in her mother's heart.
"Mother, you have forgotten father... forgotten me."
Xu Linghe embraced his little woman tightly. Her aggrieved tears burned Xu Linghe. He had predicted the consequence. Since he saw Ms. Han's portrait in the Han family, he had expected the result. But to untie the knot in her heart, the little woman had to face it by herself.
"Mother, you have forgotten the Teal Hill... forgotten father... forgotten me."
"I have never forgotten you. Xiao You... Chiyou is innocent. I hope you can love her and protect her. In the world, you are the closest, since you are kindred bloods."
"Mother."
Looking at her mother, Wuyou felt bitter, since her mother had given her love to the girl (named Han Chiyou) in the human's world.
