Chapter 98 - Wuyou's Anger
Chapter 98 Wuyou’s Anger
“Douya, don’t be rude.”
Xiao Douya clenched his fists and stared at Xu Yin proudly. Chengyi could not help laughing, feeling more content in his heart. Xu Linghe held Xiao Douya up and touched his head affectionately. How smart and naughty this little kid was!
“Mom, Xiao Douya has returned.”
Xiao Douya stood in the courtyard and looked around, wondering why he could not see his mother. Xu Linghe was worried that the little woman was in low spirits after returning from Si Shui. But Xu Linghe could not do anything to alleviate her sorrow. Granny Moon was the little woman’s family member. So it was hard for the little woman to accept Granny Moon’s sudden departure. Besides, it was Granny Moon who passed the Heavenly Book down to the little woman. The kindness was too profound and great to return.
“Mom.”
Xiao Douya seized his father’s leg, unwilling to let him go. Chengyi followed in and felt heartache seeing tearful Xiao Douya. Where did the little sister-in-law go, even forgot Xiao Douya? Hearing cries, Xu Yin came to the inner room from the courtyard and began performing conjuring tricks after seeing Xiao Douya crying. Xiao Douya was amused, wondering how the trick worked. Seeing the kid changing from sorrow to happiness, Xu Yin conjured a dog from his arms. With wide-opened eyes, Xiao Douya had been attracted by his Eldest Uncle’s trick. Xu Yin did not feel relieved until Xiao Douya chased the dog out of the room. Xu Yin had not foreseen that such little deceptive trick would come in handy one day, and he could not predict when Xiao Douya would discover it was a fake one. And would he tease his Eldest Uncle again?
“Little Lingchong, where is your Master?” Xu Linghe knew Little Lingchong had insect spirit that was able to chase souls. So it was easy for it to find a person.
“The master seemed to come to the Immense Sea.” Little Lingchong sniffed and fell on Xu Linghe’s hand. It did not know why its Master came to the Immense Sea, but Xu Linghe knew.
“Elder brother, would you please help me look after Xiao Douya? I will be back soon.”
Xu Yin rose the corners of his mouth. It felt good to have family members. He did not come out of the courtyard until he could not see his third youngest brother’s figure. Chengyi still felt worried, so he followed “the bad guy” closely. Little Lingchong flipped its wings to find the little Master. Since its master was not there, Little Lingchong thought it should protect Xiao Douya well. Xu Linghe passed through Ao Ze and ascended to the clouds. Along the way, the sea of stars gleamed, but Xu Linghe was not in the mood to enjoy.
Stepping into the Immense Sea again, Wuyou was distressed. The Immense Sea used to be her home. Wuyou took slow steps to get closer to the top of the Mount Yao Guang. She could not help recalling the scene when they met first—Granny picked her up from the desert. Her little hands pushed the door open, and the dense spider web blocked her way. Wuyou pulled them off lightly and looked up the starry sky. This was Granny’s home. How great it would be if they had not known Zhu Jiuyin. Wuyou touched the hem of her clothes. The pink clothes she wore was stitched by Granny herself. Each needle and thread was full of Granny’s love. And every place in the courtyard was carefully arranged. But pity that Granny was gone.
Wuyou exited the door and flew ahead. Walking on the streets in the Immense Sea, Wuyou tried to follow the past footsteps. Everything before her was still the same as it used to be in the memory. Bathed in candlelight, the whole alley was peaceful and quiet. On the green-stoned path, footsteps resounded rhythmically. This was a path leading to the courtyard. Wuyou hoped to keep walking on it. And she did not stop until she was about to arrive at the courtyard. One step away and her heartbeat soared with the steps. How desperate she was to see Granny Moon when she pushed the door open, to see Granny Moon’s smiling face as in the memory. But when Wuyou arrived there, her heart was broken. The whole courtyard had been reduced into ruins. Xu Linghe eyed her quietly. Everything did not exist any longer, including Granny Moon. Even the only reminiscent thing had been destroyed. Xu Linghe wanted to console his little woman and said to her that she still had him beside. But Xu Linghe knew that the little woman wanted to say alone, so he decided to do nothing but just accompany her and give her some time to vent her spleen and release her oppressed emotions. As for some things, only by putting them down genuinely could they be forgotten reassuringly. So Xu Linghe just wanted to, as well as was only able to accompany her till the day when her wound would scar over.
“Granny.”
Sadness reverberated in the Immense Sea. Wuyou dashed to the clouds and flew to the royal court. No one could stop her devastating momentum. The sea of coulds rolled up, and her Spirit Power spread. Wuyou gestured with her hands. Next second, raging fire licked out from the earth. On the sea of clouds, Wuyou showed a blood-longing smile. The night in the Immense Sea was illuminated by the fire. The ferocious heat clamped down to the royal court, like spreading magma. The fire blotted out the sky and covered up the earth. Yuan Xueyi’s heedless deed led the whole royal court to falling into a catastrophe. If she had kept Granny’s courtyard, the royal court would not suffer the crowning calamity. But there was no regret in the world. When Zhu Jiuyin returned from Jiuli, he saw the corpses lie all over the royal court. Wuyou looked up to the sky and laughed both for Granny Moon and herself. Xu Linghe flew to her and held her tightly into his arms.
“Linghe, I am so vicious… Do you still love me?”
Tears dropped from the corners of her eyes. The lovely fox had dissappeared. Wuyou’s heart was torn off. Xu Linghe knew the little woman’s heart ache. The innocent fox guarded the family love, but all were in vain in the end.
“If you are tired, just sleep!”
Xu Linghe flipped his spiritual fingers, and a streak of flowing light drilled into Wuyou’s body. Xu Linghe put her down slowly after she fell asleep. Zhu Jiuyin on the clouds was boiling with rage, as only trace of kindness vanished in his heart. How hateful the fox of the Teal Hill was to burn his royal court, even not sparing the innocent people. At that moment, all of his love turned rage. In the sea of clouds, his Spirit Power was roaring. Xu Linghe set a spiritual web to protect his little woman. Zhu Jiuyin read Pangu’s talisman incantation, and then the Golden Body emerged. And Xu Linghe held the string zither in his hands. In the spirit light, demonic tweedle wrapped Pangu’s talisman incantation. Zhu Jiuyin extended his arms and legs to the sky. On the clouds, Xu Linghe performed sorcery and set formation, and then, flowing light sprang out of his body. The tweedle melted with Sword Qi. Each collision yielded thundering sound and charged at Zhu Jiuyin. The Spiritual Qi in the sky razed wherever it went to ground. The night sky of the Immense Sea was covered with Spirit Power. Starlight and Moonlight could not overshadow the brilliant ray of the Flowing Light Sword. Zhu Jiuyin strenched his giant hands out and smashed. Xu Linghe leapt to the sky. The demonic tweedle pierced across the night sky into Zhu Jiuyin’s heart. Each ray of spirit light could tear Zhu Jiuyin’s heart meridians. Xu Linighe called the giant dragon, and then it dashed through the see of clouds and hovering over Zhu Jiuyin’s head. The Flowing Light Sword split the sky into two. The Heavenly River of the Ninth-level Heaven dropped from the clouds and put out the flame in the royal court. Xu Linghe held his little woman up and flew back. Being the God of Kunlun, Xu Linghe had a mercy to the innocent living creatures. Even though Zhu Jiuyin should be put to death, Xu Linghe could not let those innocent people lose their lives. God had his own responsibility. He could be selfish for his little woman, but could not do nothing to save people from ruin. Zhu Jiuyin flew toward the royal court, which had been burnt down completely. And the scorching smell filled the air densely. It was the valuable treasure accumulated by generations of Pangu’s people, but now was reduces to ashed since the woman set a fire. Zhu Jiuyin’s love for the woman was buried in the dust, just as the royal court was. Love and hatred were just a thought away. Although he loved Jiang Wuyou deeply, he had only hatred left to her after she had hurt him so mercilessly. Zhu Jiuyin’s heart lurched by the woman’s cruelty. There was seldom left in the whole royal court. Even if the Heavenly River was drawn there, few people were saved.
“Master, save me…”
Yuan Xueyi picked herself up from the ruins. Zhu Jiuyin slapped her in the face. Every time he met with the trouble maker, there must be something terrible happening. The good courtyard was burned by the trouble maker. That was why the woman came to take revenge.
“See what you’ve done! Even if you’ve died for ten times, you can’t compensate for those innocent people’s lives in the royal court.”
“Master, the royal court was burned by the masked woman. Is there anything to do with me? Why did you beat me?”
Yuan Xueyi responded under protest. Zhu Jiuyin gave another slap and thought that he had never seen such a hardmouthed woman. However, in Yuan Xueyi’s heart, the house deserved to be burned. As long as any trace about the woman was wiped out, Zhu Jinyin could forget that masked woman. But what Yuan Xueyi did not know was that many people died of her caprice.
Ying Yu arrived there in a hurry. All the important officials in the royal court were frightened by the surging flame through the sky. And all the people in the Immense Sea rushed to the royal court. The fire did shock the whole Immense Sea. All the people were astonished about the scene in front. Who destroyed the royal court? For the people of the Immense Sea, the royal court existed with them.
“Master, who was so heaven-daring? Dare to burn our royal court.”
As Ying Yu’s words faded away, the whole square was seething with rage. Zhu Jinyin surely hoped things would become increasingly serious. In this case, he targeted his spearhead at Kunlun. After all, Kunlun and Pangu family were old enemies.
“I, Zhu Jiuyin, vow today, if I can’t kill the scoundrels of Kunlun by myself, I will be willing to constrain myself in Si Shui.”
“The hypocrite of Kunlun…Dare to destroy our royal court.”
A hubbub of voices surged from the squre. All the people in the Immense Sea burst into rage.
“Be quiet. Let the Master finish his words.”
Ying Yu stood on the square and could not say anything when looking at Zhu Jiuyin on the high platform. The tens-of-thousands-of-years family estate was ruined overnight, and the Master was the saddest one about it. Zhu Jiuyin flew away, and his people gradually melted away. Yuan Xueyi followed the Master with great caution, and she did not dare to go where the Master headed. But she could not let Zhu Jiuyin stay alone. Her Master was too conceited to accept that fact that his loved person destoryed his home. He would be sad and disconsolate about it. All the misfortunes were caused by Yuan Xueyi, and she regretted having burnt the house of the Goddess of the Moon.
Along the way, Yuan Xueyi went and stopped from time to time, afraid of being discovered by Zhu Jiuyin. She hid in the bottom of Si Shui. When Zhu Jiuyin got ashore, Yuan Xueyi had found something wrong because her body was constrained by the Original Spirit in the bottom of the lake. Those spiritual beasts specifically ate the things in flesh. Yuan Xueyi thrust out a palm. But those spiritual beasts did not fear her at all. Instead, they opened their bloody large mouths and sucked Yuan Xueyin’s spirit. She struggled, dreading whether she would die in Si Shui. In fact, as long as Yuan Xueyi cried out for help, Zhu Jiuyin could hear. She was one step away from Zhu Jiuyin, but she did not want him to know it and not want to be a trouble maker. She understood why Zhu Jiuyin came to Si Shui. The royal court was built with his parents’ life-long hard work, but fell into ruins in his hands. He must feel shameful to face his parents. Yuan Xueyi exhausted her strength to chop at the spiritual beasts. If she would die in Si Shui lake, it would be a relief for her and an answer to Zhu Jiuyin. Death was approaching to her. A Spirit Power injected into her body when she was on the verge of suffocation. Yuan Xueyi held her head over the surface of the lake and gulped air. Her feet was lifted up. When she caught a clear sight of the spiritual beast, she wanted to give a kick. It turned out that it was the one which once stole her clothing last time. Dark as it was in the bottom of the lake, Yuan Xueyi could see clearly. It was a monster with blue hair. She did not pay too much attention last time. But today, she found that it looked not bad, especially its blue enchanting hair drifting in the water. The spiritual beast sent Yuan Xueyi ashore. When she collected herself, the spiritual beast had disappeared completely.
The familiar figure in the distance was shaking. Yuan Xueyi felt stinging sorrow. This was the most helpless moment for the Master. Beside the soul pillars, Zhu Jiuyin supressed his emotions. Although the sound was rather low, Yuan Xueyi could hear puling like a beast. The master was crying. Yuan Xueyi wiped her tears with her little hands both for the Master and herself. She had never thought that she would shed tears for the man, but she just could not control her tears…
