This Human Immortal Is Too Serious

In the small heavenly domain with a gaping hole, murkiness continuously seeped out. Because the Heaven and Earth Dao wasn't evident here, the self-healing speed of Heaven and Earth was painfully slow.

The colossal body of the Whistling Snake was nailed to the ground by a silver spear, its serpentine eyes devoid of any color except terror.

Wu Wang's longsword, thrust forward, pushed further in by several inches, ready to burst with the pure Divine Power it contained.

He would not hesitate, nor would he falter.

Almost without time to think, the Whistling Snake faced imminent life or death in an instant. The Divine Power about to explode from the sword could easily crush its very soul…

In the distance, Xiao Jian Daoist stared dumbfounded at this scene.

The blood robe and disheveled hair fluttered backward with the wild wind, towards the direction of the heavenly breach.

The giant snake lay like a mountain range, and the figure suspended before its brow was diminutive in comparison.

Xiao Jian Daoist did not understand what had happened; his Dao heart felt empty and lost, unsure of what action to take.

That spear that fell from the sky was slowly turning into silver-white Divine Light and dissipating.

The massive body of the Whistling Snake dissipated along with it, replaced by the enchanting woman who had flickered between corporeality and incorporeality several times before.

She looked extremely pitiful at the moment, with a gaping hole in her chest, her Divine Power withered, her body trembling lightly, and blood dripping from her brow.

Wu Wang twirled his sword in a flourish.

Behind him, the phantom of the Goddess quietly vanished, and the Stars in the sky began to fade.

The woman, into whom the Whistling Snake had transformed, knelt in mid-air before slowly prostrating on the ground. White mists flowed out from under her fair skin and gathered before Wu Wang, forming a Treasure Bead.

Wu Wang made a complex hand gesture and struck the Treasure Bead, then swallowed it in one gulp.

At the same moment, his essence, energy, and spirit all surged, and a strong Divine Light emanated from him.

The Whistling Snake had it tough, fainting on the spot. Its wounds kept bleeding, its complexion was as white as paper, and its lips had a tinge of purple. Nothing remained of the grace she displayed when she first encountered Wu Wang, descending leisurely through the clouds.

Wu Wang turned to glance at Xiao Jian Daoist. The Divine Light in his eyes faded, and he forced an ugly smile.

"Don't kill her. A mount is quite useful, even if it's just a fake Dao of Heaven and Earth."

With that said, Wu Wang's eyes closed. The Dao Weapon Star Sword slipped from the air, and his body plummeted straight toward the ground.

Xiao Jian Daoist instinctively reached out to catch him, but he had only taken a few steps forward when he too fell awkwardly to the ground.

In that instant, a gray shadow flashed across the sky. Two steady and powerful hands caught Wu Wang's body and nonchalantly hoisted him up.

Xiao Jian Daoist fell hard, lying there without the will to move.

With immense effort, he raised his head, saw the figure wearing a straw cloak, and sighed in relief.

"Your Majesty…"

He lost consciousness. The light of his Primordial Spirit dimmed, and his life force waned.

The gray shadow flickered once more, sweeping up both Xiao Jian Daoist and the woman the Whistling Snake had become, quickly escaping through the breach in the small heavenly domain.

Shen Nong had just left when several figures tore through Heaven and Earth to arrive in this small world.

Leading them was a woman in white, the Young Master of the Heaven Palace.

Looking at the 'blood lake' gathering here, she sensed the lingering aura of the Whistling Snake. Confusion played across her pretty face as she murmured,

"The Star God's Divine Power? Why would it manifest here?"

Furthermore, that Xiao Jian Daoist and Wu Wangzi were able to defeat the Whistling Snake… Experts of the Human Domain must have arrived first, one step ahead of them, rescuing Wu Wangzi and capturing the Whistling Snake.

"My lord," the little deity behind her asked with her head bowed, "should we search for the whereabouts of the Whistling Snake God?"

"Let's go back. She has fallen into the hands of the Human Domain," the Young Master said indifferently, gazing at the breach in the sky.

Even if this small world would not collapse due to that hole, it would soon become a dead land due to the massive loss of clear and turbid Qi.

Such small worlds were countless near the Great Wilderness, and many of them were home to numerous creatures.

"What a pity."

The Young Master sighed softly, waving her delicate finger to part Heaven and Earth before her, and returned with the few little deities.

「...」

News that Wu Wang and Xiao Jian Daoist had been brought back to the Human Domain by the Human Emperor quickly spread among the many elites there.

As for whether Wu Wang was severely injured and unconscious, or whether they brought back one more person or one less, very few people cared.

After all, most Cultivators had no direct dealings with Wu Wang at present.

The Human Emperor left Wu Wang, Xiao Jian Daoist, and a woman in the Main Hall of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion before going on his way.

The entire Human Domain was very busy at the moment.

Following the end of battles in the Southeastern Region, a series of internal and external affairs needed to be dealt with. Furthermore, the three armies dispatched earlier had not yet safely returned to the Human Domain.

However, from an overall perspective, the situation was no longer severe.

At this moment, the high-ranking officials of the Human Domain needed to guard against the Heaven Palace causing trouble, focusing more of their attention on the Northern Border.

Although all severely injured, Wu Wang, Xiao Jian Daoist, and the Whistling Snake received completely different treatments in the Main Hall of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion.

The unconscious Wu Wang was quickly taken away by a hurriedly arriving Lin Suqing, surrounded by many attendants from the Punishment Hall who busily served tea, poured water, delivered Elixirs, and offered clothing.

The Whistling Snake, seriously injured and near death, was naturally recognized by the experts of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion.

Had it not been for the layer of Dao rhyme from the Human Emperor surrounding the Whistling Snake, they would have certainly dismembered her.

But with the protection of His Majesty Shen Nong's Dao rhyme, and not knowing exactly what had happened, they suppressed the Whistling Snake in the great prison of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion, closely monitored by a dozen high-level experts.

The condition of Xiao Jian Daoist was rather wretched.

Xiao Jian Daoist, still retaining a thread of consciousness, was abruptly stuffed with a mouthful of Elixirs. Then, he was surrounded by a group of older predecessors who began to interrogate him about what had happened.

Xiao Jian Daoist truly did not know whether he could disclose the matter of Wu Wang summoning a spear and nearly instantly killing the Whistling Snake.

He could only speak vaguely, claiming he had joined forces with Wu Wangzi to battle the Whistling Snake for hundreds of rounds. In the end, Wu Wangzi delivered the decisive blow, and it seemed he had subdued the Evil God.

For a moment, the senior experts remaining in the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion gasped in shock.

The temperature of the entire mountaintop where the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion was located rose significantly due to the collective gasps of these seniors.

Wu Wang's quarters were bustling for half a day, but in the end, only Lin Suqing was left busying herself back and forth.

Her face flushed, she carefully washed Wu Wang's body, cleaning the blood and dirt from him, and then helped him into a set of wide robes.

Looking at Wu Wang's unconscious face, Lin Suqing sighed softly.

"Elder martial uncle..."

Puffing out her cheeks, she softly called out, "Young Master?"

Of course, there was no response from Wu Wang.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Suqing, abiding by the spirit of scrupulousness and realism, formed a water ball with her fingertip and smashed it onto Wu Wang's head.

Accompanied by the splashing water, Wu Wang remained deeply unconscious, with no reaction whatsoever.

Lin Suqing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Her recent physical contact with the Young Master had not worsened his already unconscious state.

At this moment, she faintly felt that Wu Wang's current condition was somewhat familiar.

It seemed to have occurred before, back in the Northern Wilderness.

If Wu Wang's usual Divine Thought power were compared to a mighty river,

then Wu Wang's Divine Thoughts at this moment were like water slowly dripping from the tip of a stalactite, each drop falling as if to say, "I really don't have a single drop left."

What had happened? How had the Young Master depleted himself again?

Lin Suqing couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead, pondering the situation.

She quickly brought over a chair, sat by the bedside, and started reading a scroll, waiting for Wu Wang to wake up.

This time, who knows how long it will be.

After a few more hours, the loft suddenly became lively.

Dongfang Mumu was the first to arrive, bringing along her ear mouse and Xiao Deng from the Small People Kingdom.

Then came Ling Xiaolan, Ji Mo, Lin Qi, and Le Yao, who had all hurried to the Main Hall of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion. After seeing the sleeping Wu Wang, they each let out a long sigh of relief.

Ling Xiaolan rushed to the bed, and although she wanted to sit right next to it, she subconsciously maintained a three-inch distance.

She gazed at Wu Wang and softly called out, "Brother Wuwang, Brother Wuwang?"

Lin Suqing, at the side, seemed to hesitate to speak.

Lin Qi's eyes reddened, and a smile finally appeared on his handsome and gentle face.

Ji Mo clenched his teeth and punched Lin Qi on the shoulder, chiding with a laugh, "Feeling relieved now? Didn't I tell you, Brother Wuwang has his own good fortune bestowed by heaven!"

Lin Qi sighed softly and then cautiously approached the bed, leaning forward to observe Wu Wang's expression.

"Miss Suqing, Teacher, he..."

"He probably used some Divine Skills that require a lot of mental power," Lin Suqing said. "You don't need to worry too much. A few medical experts have already examined him. Not only is the Young Master fine, but his body and Divine Soul have also grown a bit stronger."

"That's good, that's good."

Lin Qi laughed and sighed a few times, then straightened up and gave Wu Wang a deep bow.

He said, "Teacher, this disciple is incompetent. I was captured by the Heaven Palace, causing you, my father, and all the seniors to worry, nearly bringing about irreversible consequences.

"I feel ashamed in my heart, so I will return to cultivate in seclusion, striving to become a True Immortal, then a Heavenly Immortal, ready to stand shoulder to shoulder with you and the seniors when the Human Domain needs me."

After saying this, Lin Qi bowed deeply three times, then turned to bid farewell to Lin Suqing and Ling Xiaolan.

Ji Mo brought Le Yao forward, also expressing concern in a warm voice.

However, Wu Wang was deep in his slumber, unable to respond to them at all.

FLAP! FLAP! FLAP! A bird flew out from Le Yao's shoulder and landed on the armrest at the head of Wu Wang's couch, looking down at him intently.

So nonchalant and focused, until a round little face appeared beside the bird...

"Ah!?"

Immortal Mu reacted quickly, a 'chubby hand' reaching out to grab the bird.

Just as the bird fluttered its wings to escape, Immortal Mu's hands shone with immortal power that enveloped it, leaving it no choice but to chirp for mercy.

Immortal Mu chuckled while rubbing his little hands together and slowly approached, his round eyes curving into a 'comical' shape.

This splendidly colorful bird spread its left wing while covering its front with its right, looking nervously at Immortal Mu.

"Senior Dongfang, you must not!"

Le Yao promptly spoke up to shield the bird, saying anxiously, "This is a transformation of a revered senior who has been gravely injured and has not fully recovered yet. Her seniority is much higher than ours!"

"Really?" Immortal Mu tilted his head slightly.

The bird nodded continuously.

Ling Xiaolan also said, "It is true. This Senior was rescued by His Majesty the Human Emperor before. Under her feathers, there still lies a protective talisman from the Human Emperor. Even a Transcendent would be blocked by this talisman if they tried to harm her.

"It seems this bird must have made an exceptional contribution to the Human Domain."

The bird suddenly seemed a bit embarrassed.

"His Majesty the Human Emperor..." Immortal Mu muttered, his presence now deflated.

The bird fluffed its wings, showing off two feathers that twirled with seven-colored, flowing light.

Those were the protective talismans.

"You really are a senior of the Human Domain?"

The bird tilted its head proudly, wings on its hips, chirping away gleefully.

Le Yao explained, "This senior has long heard of Brother Wuwang's name and has come here for a short stay to heal some wounds."

Ji Mo said, "With the Great Dao of His Majesty the Human Emperor protecting her, there will surely be no problem."

Immortal Mu bowed his head in remorse, continuously glancing toward the doorway, ready to slip away at any moment.

Lin Suqing laughed, "Seeing as she is a senior of the Human Domain, we must not be disrespectful. Mumu, since you clashed with the senior just now, you are now punished to make a smaller nest to provide accommodation for the senior."

Immortal Mu cocked his head slightly, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

It's just making a bird's nest, right?

Seizing the ear mouse and dragging Xiao Deng along, he dashed out of the loft and into the nearby sparse woods, from where 'giggling' laughter immediately echoed.

The bird let out a sigh of relief.

For a moment, she thought she had met her nemesis.

Lin Suqing warmly greeted Ling Xiaolan, who mentioned a bit about the situation of the great battle in the Southeastern Region.

The bird cocked its head and eyed the two.

She wasn't dumb or foolish; she could easily see that both women held a special regard for the young man lying there.

Especially the woman with the lower cultivation base, who had not yet become an immortal. Her words naturally revealed an intimate relationship with Wu Wang.

And Fairy Ling, she had heard all the way about 'Brother Wuwang' this and that, and also caught wind of that little rumor.

The future Human Emperor and the Tianyan Saintess, his future spouse on the Dao.

Hmm... The bird stood on the armrest of the soft couch, looking down at Wu Wang.

If she were in human form, she would definitely be pouting, eyes full of grievances, then sighing at the fickleness of the human heart. It had only been a few years, yet all those vows and declarations of 'I will definitely come for you' had turned out to be deceiving.

No, deceiving ghosts!

But she was in the form of a bird—specifically, an adorable bird whose feathers were filled with Spiritual Energy—and could not show any emotions.

She felt like taking off and flying away, but seeing his pitiable appearance in slumber, she couldn't bear to leave.

Enough, the bird whispered from the bottom of its heart.

Let's just wait here for him to wake up. If he's alright, I'll go back to my father's side.

Now, he certainly isn't lacking companionship.

With that, the bird steadied itself a bit more.

Lin Suqing, watching from the side, blinked curiously and immediately moved a chair over so the senior could sit down comfortably.

She continued to stare at Wu Wang, unable to shift her gaze away.

「...」

After more than a month, Wu Wang showed no signs of waking up.

The battle between the Human Domain and Heaven Palace had become widely known throughout the Nine Wildernesses, thanks to the deliberate spread of information by the Four Seas Pavilion.

The Human Domain had achieved a great victory, killing the God of Thunderstorm and two other Innate Gods, seizing the God of Thunderstorm's Divine Artifact, and annihilating the Heaven Palace Divine Guard and the Feather Country's elite forces.

The destruction of the Third Main Hall was just a minor part of the accomplishments.

Of course, the Human Domain had paid a heavy price as well, with more than thirty Transcendents sacrificing themselves, burning their very essence.

Even though they were nearing the end of their lifespans, it was a heroic sacrifice, and their names were widely commemorated and remembered in the Human Domain.

The reaction from the Heaven Palace was "fierce."

First, they selected masters from the Hundred Races and assembled a large army. Then, a group of gods appeared above the Heaven Palace, circling Central Mountain for ten days.

But in the end, Heaven Palace did not launch an attack on the Human Domain, as if they were waiting for the right moment.

Ji Mo and Le Yao, the married couple, did not stay long, as they each had their own affairs to attend to—Ji Mo needed to follow his family's elders to cultivate.

—Of course, not to learn needlework or how to make makeup adhere better to the face.

Le Yao, as the next Sect Master of the Sun Demolition Sect, was also busy with the sect's affairs on a daily basis.

Fortunately, both sets of parents were very open-minded, so the young couple were not often apart. Either Ji Mo would stay at the Sun Demolition Sect for a long time, or Le Yao would return to the Ji Residence to rest for a period.

Their affection for each other was so strong it made people sigh, wondering if the reason they hadn't had any good news for so long was because the Young Master had secretly cursed them.

Lin Qi returned home to meditate, while Ling Xiaolan naturally stayed by Wu Wang's side, practicing and meditating every day, waiting for Wu Wang to wake up.

In time, others like Yang Wudi came to visit, and the Grand Elder also settled near Wu Wang, continuing his duty as a guardian.

As the days passed, Wu Wang's complexion gradually grew rosier, and his Divine Thought finally became continuous and unbroken.

He fell into a long dream.

The situation at the time was complicated. Simply put, Wu Wang's body was hit by the Whistling Snake's enormous head, and during the process of being thrown through the air, a strange illness on his body was triggered, first causing him to fall into a faint, then waking him up due to successive impacts.

In any case, Wu Wang was somewhat dazed at the time, even experiencing a moment where his life flashed before his eyes.

It was this state of confusion that evoked his memories of despair, pushing him to the brink of collapse and madness.

He could either shrink back, his spiritual mind collapsing, or he could step forward in madness, striking out against adversity.

Wu Wang chose the latter because, during that fleeting moment when his life flashed before his eyes, he realized he had developed many inseparable attachments in this world: parents, friends, confidantes, beloved women, and the girl to whom he had made a promise.

Therefore, Wu Wang was determined to survive at all costs, burning his Divine Soul without regard for the consequences and forcibly activating the Star God's body.

If Wu Wang hadn't swallowed the essence and Divine Soul power offered by the Whistling Snake in the end, he would have suffered greatly.

Fortunately, his mother noticed this in time and persuaded Wu Wang to spare the life of the Whistling Snake. She also allowed Wu Wang to control the Whistling Snake using an ancient secret method and to absorb its essence.

This was a method of "sustaining war with war" that many Divine Spirits would use during the War of the Gods.

If Wu Wang were to die, the Whistling Snake's soul would disperse and vanish.

If Wu Wang harbored an intent to kill, he would only need to draw a simple Talisman to take the Whistling Snake's life.

Moreover, with such confinement endured over a long period, Wu Wang could directly refine and transform the Whistling Snake into a nourishing substance.

This might sound somewhat cruel. After all, killing a person is but a nod of the head, and killing a snake merely fills a pot of soup. But this is the Divine Art that emerged from the War of the Gods.

These are merely the methods of the Innate Gods.

No one could have anticipated that Wu Wang would sleep for three years and nine months before showing signs of waking.

The Whistling Snake's injuries had mostly healed. It sat in meditation daily in the dungeon, its expression always somewhat desolate.

That day, Liu Baiyi brought several old predecessors from the Human Domain to visit the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, conveying the concern and greetings from everyone in the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion for the young Hall Master.

Lin Suqing was busily serving tea and water, and talking about Wu Wang's recent situation.

In truth, it was the same few sentences repeated over and over. She had grown somewhat tired of speaking them these past few years.

But as the Pavilion Master inquired, Lin Suqing still had to provide a summary.

"He's doing quite well."

"There's nothing serious."

"He'll probably wake up soon."

Most of them failed to notice the exquisite bird that had appeared by Wu Wang's side.

But this bird was carefully observing them.

Perched comfortably in its bird nest beside Wu Wang's soft couch, it spent its days either gazing at Wu Wang or sleeping with its eyes closed, having flown away only a dozen or so times in the past three years.

Sometimes it would sleep for several days and nights without waking, occasionally surrounded by flows of Immortal Light.

However, the identity of an 'old predecessor from the Human Domain' that it had fabricated for itself had perfectly concealed these anomalies.

Having observed for a while, the bird came to understand Wu Wang's current circle of life.

He was the Sect Master of a Demonic Sect, the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall in the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion, and had accomplished a series of significant deeds for the Human Domain.

He stood firm against the Heaven Palace to the north and stabilized the Hundred Races to the south.

He really had made impressive achievements.

This stirred a bit of admiration in the bird's heart. It thought he was indeed an outstanding person, which made its own spirits lift a little.

But this pleasant mood was never meant to last long.

It's only been a few years; aren't there too many women around this guy?

This Miss Suqing was bearable, since she considered herself a maiden attendant, busying herself with many important matters, acting more like a steward.

After all, he is the Young Master of a Large Family Clan and now holds a high position with great power. It's only natural he should have someone to take care of his daily needs. This, she supposed, was reasonable.

But...

What's the deal with that Elder Miao from the Annihilation Sect?

She's already so enchanting and cultivated seductive arts. She's visited three or four times, even jokingly talking about matters like being the Sect Master's wife.

Then there's Fairy Ling.

She is an exceptionally outstanding Fairy Immortal. The bird even felt she radiated a glow that made one irresistibly want to be close to her.

What's more crucial is that Fairy Ling clearly has feelings for this guy. She has even taken up residence here without worrying about what others might say, as if tacitly acknowledging their relationship.

Over the past few years, Fairy Ling would cultivate in her room upstairs every day, occasionally appearing to sit by the soft couch.

The keen bird noticed that every time Fairy Ling appeared, Suqing would deliberately avoid her.

The prospective Human Emperor, and the future Human Emperor's prospective Dao companion...

Pah! Faithless scoundrel! Big turnip!

The love she yearned for was like that of her parents.

Shen Nong and Ting Huan supported each other, braved storms together, remained companions until death, and shared a grave.

But now, the one following Shen Nong's path was this guy, while the one walking Ting Huan's path was Fairy Ling.

The bird had thought about leaving all this behind, but every time it spread its wings to fly away, it softened its heart, thinking it would wait and see after he awoke.

But...

How was she to interpret the sister mentioned by that burly man from the Northern Wilderness named Xing Tian who had come before?

And what about the Qingqiu fox woman sent by the Punishment Hall officials to assist Miss Suqing, what was that about?

And from what the few elder predecessors mentioned, what exactly was the story behind the Evil Goddess subdued by Wu Wangzi?

The more the bird thought about it, the angrier it became. Taking advantage of the fact that Lin Suqing went to bathe and no one else was guarding the place, it flashed its wings and dived towards Wu Wang's forehead.

"Hmm?"

Wu Wang's eyelids trembled lightly, and as he was about to open his eyes, he saw two bird claws passing by, and his nose was lightly pecked.

With a flip of his eyelids, Wu Wang, who had just woken up, immediately fell back into a deep sleep.

The bird paused, then seemed to remember something, perching beside Wu Wang, appearing somewhat at a loss.

Could she no longer touch him?

How could that be?

At the same time, Wu Wang seemed to be trying to break free from the deep sleep again, his emotions somewhat agitated, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Suqing's figure flew over from the side, her hair still dripping wet, covered only in a wide robe, and she immediately pointed a stream of water towards Wu Wang's forehead.

Under the stimulation of the fresh water, Wu Wang's eyes opened, and he immediately sat up.

What had he just seen!

"Jingwei! Did she come? Suqing, just now, was it...!"

"CHIRP—" The bird spread its wings and let out an excited cry.

Wu Wang looked down. Seeing it was a Blue Bird, his smile quickly faded. He let out a somewhat disappointed, bitter laugh and sighed,

"It turns out I was mistaken."

Lin Suqing hurriedly asked, "Young Master, what's the matter?"

"Just now it flew over my head, and I thought I had returned to that small island."

Wu Wang chuckled awkwardly.

The bird seemed to have a smile in the corner of its eyes. It then recalled the scene from moments ago, spread its wings, flew back to its perch, and became pensive.

"Where did you catch this one? It's quite beautiful."

Wu Wang wondered, "Why do I faint whenever I encounter a female bird? Is my strange illness getting worse?"

"This is a senior from the Human Domain," Lin Suqing hurried to explain. "She was sent here, presumably like Mumu, hoping to find an opportunity to heal her injuries by staying by the Young Master's side."

"Oh?"

Wu Wang turned to look, staring at the bird intently for a while.

It wasn't her. He still remembered the appearance of her divine bird clearly, not forgetting even a single feather.

"I apologize for just now."

Wu Wang, rubbing his still faintly aching forehead, said with a smile, "Now that I think about it, it also makes sense. She still has over a hundred years before she can leave the Spirit Pool. After she does, she should be a baby."

Lin Suqing let out a muttered interjection, "Then, with all due disrespect, Young Master, have you ever considered that it may not take three hundred years to rebuild a human body...?"

"Impossible," Wu Wang laughed. "Would the elder predecessors joke about their own daughter's business?"

Lin Suqing held her forehead with one hand and whispered, "Young Master, you're usually so clever. Why can't you see the twist in this? If it were truly for Princess Jingwei's good, His Majesty surely wouldn't actually shorten the Spirit Pool's duration.

"His Majesty wouldn't joke about such a matter, but that doesn't stop him from using this to encourage you. You used to be quite lazy, not wanting to do anything, remember?"

Wu Wang: ...

Just then, the sound of flapping wings came from the side. The bird suddenly flew out of the small building through the window, turning into a streak of blue light and shooting straight into the sky.

"Indeed, a lofty predecessor," Wu Wang exclaimed in admiration.

Following that, he raised an eyebrow, pondering the possibility Lin Suqing had mentioned.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt he might have really been tricked by the old predecessors!

But Wu Wang wasn't upset or the slightest bit discontented. Instead, he smiled knowingly and slowly lay back down.

"Sigh," Wu Wang said, "My father-in-law also has it tough, having to goad me forward."

Lin Suqing chuckled, "Young Master, I'll go let them know you've awakened."

"Don't, let me sleep a bit longer, my head still hurts."

Wu Wang yawned. "After reviewing the Star God's memories for so long, I need some peace and quiet to compose my emotions.

"Does that senior have a name? How should I address her?"

Lin Suqing paused, recalled carefully for a while, and said, "Ah, I haven't heard the senior mention that..."

"Brother Wuwang!"

An excited call came from the stairs.

A white shadow fluttered past, a subtle fragrance wafted over, and Wu Wang's headache eased slightly.
