Chapter 32
Chapter 32 Sound Out (2)
“In the battle of the Fire Tribe, did Chidi have something to do with father?” Although Xu Linghe had sounded out his father, he still had many doubts. “What does the Wolf King mean that he will hurt someone? Is there any underlying meaning in it?”
“I am going to get married. I am here to tell you.”
The writing brush was broken into parts. Seeing his father burst into anger, Xu Linghe felt his uneasy heart finally went back to the feet. It seemed that it was Xu Linghe himself who was so oversensitive to doubt whether it was true or false.
“Since you have made up your mind, it’s no use saying more. But you should marry the girl of You family, but you made trouble in it and gave the chance to others. I am not willing to see that. If we can become related to You Hu by marriage, we can gain ten thousand percent.”
“I have to go now.”
Xu Linghe requested to retreat. His father’s grey hair was blown up by the night wind. Looking at the winkles on his father’s face, Xu Linghe could not bear it—his father was really old now.
“Please allow me to retreat.”
As the sound of the footstep faded away, Xu Yinchang waved his spiritual fingers, and something was extracted from his body. When a drifting shadow floated in the candlelight, the soul hid in Xu Yinchang’s body got stronger, his black hair spreading and his skin glossing. Xu Yinchang waved his sleeves and swept away. But the drifting soul laughed with disdain. Xu Yinchang gave another palm, but the drifting shadow stopped ducking and bounced it away lightly over Xu Yinchang’s head.
“Prime Minister, you’d better listen to me. Otherwise, your Qi Kingdom, Xu family and all the human’s world will suffer calamity. Your son hides the divine devices that I want. Qi Palace constraints my true body. I am a god, but I control your destiny. If it were not for the tribulation every five hundred years, I would control the three realms. In the battle of the Fire Tribe, my Original Spirit was waked up by lucky chance. It was your Yun Mu spirit that saved my life. I had no ways but to board in your body. You have Yun Mu Pill of Changxi, the Goddess of the Moon. This is the Holy Pill for fostering souls. It should belong to the Goddess of the Moon, but Changxi gave it to her daughter. And your wife is Changxi’s daughter. You were quite fortunate to both get the Yun Mu Pill and become the husband of the Fairy Kingdom’s Princess. Don’t look down upon her spirit pill. It was produced by my Great Grand Master Emperor who had condensed the essence of all the geniuses and ghost masters. He passed the Yun Mu Holy Pill to Changxi. If I gained this pill, I would not suffer the tribulation any more. Unexpectedly, you got it before me. Prime Minister, do you have any other choice now? You are too weak, even your son is stronger than you. For the sake of the Protective Sage Spirit, I let you live for more days. Your son is so clever that he has sounded out me several times. But how can he sound out the God’s intention?”
“You can kill me now.”
Xu Yinchang exposed his neck. How could he bear the humiliation when he regarded others as nonentities in the Qi Kingdom?
“Your son is meticulous, I keep you for further use. I hope that the Wolf King can reach my wish. Being a god, it is better to be less bloody.”
If Xu Linghe knew his father fostered Chidi, what would he think?
“Prime Minster, if you are not greedy, you will not be controlled by me. Your greed is to blame.”
Chidi’s drifting figure was thinning out. After a wisp of smoke, Xu Yinchang disappeared in the depth of his soul, and instead, Chidi continued to dominate Xu Yinchang’s physical body.
Xu Yinchang did not expect that his own destiny was controlled by others. He had become a chess in the chess game he had laid down. But Chidi was the evil god, how could Xu Yinchang himself fight against him successfully?
Xu Linghe looked around the yard and could not find out his little woman’s trace. He knew the little woman’s strength, but the Wolf King was extremely cruel and merciless. Especially in the Xu’s mansion, Xu Linghe felt more worried. His father and the Wolf King walked so closely, and there must be some shocking scheme between them.
Xu Linghe flew onto the roof where it was chilly under the moon. Although it was early spring now, his silk clothes could not bear the coldness of the night.
Suddenly a murderous feeling pervaded the roof. Then his little woman dashed down from the cloud, and Xu Linghe followed her. The Wolf King fled in disorder, and Wuyou chased and beat him all the way.
Xu Linghe followed closely by the wind. A bang agitated the quietness of the yards. Wuyou fell steadily on the rockery. In the night, her purple clothes fluttered like the Divine Lady overlooking the common people.
The Wolf King’s clothes were worn out on its corner, and he looked desolate. Staring at the woman who chased him closely in the distance, Wolf King was distressed but helpless. Just now he despised his opponent, who almost took his life. Wuyou gathered her Spirit Power and shot at him. Wolf King failed to duck in time, so was struck tens of meters away, the corner of his mouth bleeding. Besides, the girl in purple gave him a blow, which added a new wound to the Wolf King. Wuyou waved her sleeves like moving vines and pressed hard toward the Wolf King. Sensing it was hard to escape the tribulation, the Wolf King flew to the crowd and picked up someone to resist Wuyou’s attack.
“Put her down, and I will spare your life.”
To Wuyou’s surprise, the person in Wolf King’s hands was her younger sister Han Chiyou. In the mid-air, her younger sister was struggling. Wuyou retracted some Spirit Power.
“I have no animosity against you. Why do you press me hard like that?”
Wolf King aggravated Spirit Power a bit. The little girl cried in hurt. Looking at the innocent Han Chiyou, Wuyou thought about her mother’s words—”You should protect Han Chiyou. No matter how sad you are, you cannot change the fact that you are kindred bloods.”
“Put down the little girl and I will give you a way to live. Otherwise, I will make you a living death.”
Wuyou snapped her fingers, and one more bloody hole appeared on Wolf King’s forehead, blood flowing between the eyebrows and blurring his eyes. The girl in his hands pounced at Wolf King’s hands craftily, and a burning pain shot through his hands. Then, the girl was loosened and fell off in the mid-air. Xu Linghe leaped up and got Han Chiyou.
Wuyou chased him out of Xu Manor and looked at the empty night. There was no trace of Wolf King. Wuyou returned to Xu Manor and heard laughter in the yard. She felt warm. Perhaps it was blood linkage with close kin.
“Go to take a rest!”
Xu Linghe took a cold glance at the crowd, and suddenly it recovered the silence. Wuyou stepped to the little girl. There was no resentment at that moment. The little girl in front was blinking her eyes, clear eyes like a sunny sky after storms which brightened Wuyou’ heart. “Yes! She is my sister. I should protect her well.”
“Xiaochi, let’s go home.”
Wuyou held Han Chiyou, unwilling to let her go. Han Chiyou curiously looked at the sister in purple and could not figure it out after thinking for a while.
“Elder Sister, you have mistaken me for someone else.”
Han Chiyou wanted to shake off the hug. Xu Linghe looked at the sisters hugging each other and felt warm in his heart. “Little Woman has mother and younger sister now. I really hope one day she can see her father, Jiang Tian.”
“Chiyou, I am your elder sister.”
“My elder sisters are Han Ximeng and Han Ruomeng. When does Han Qianyi have another daughter?”
Han Chiyou pouted her lips and looked at Jiang Wuyou with an innocent expression.
“Chiyou, do you still remember the fairy sister in Jiangnan? I am the fairy sister.”
“You’re lying. You are in cahoots with Han Qianyi. For your own interest, he forgets his daughter. Han Qianyi asked me to stay here for a few days. But until now, I have not seen him.”
Han Chiyou cried out with a loud voice.
Wuyou picked up the little girl and flew out of Xu Manor. Xu Linghe looked at the father in the yard and flew over.
“Tell Uncle Han, if he wants to see her daughter, come to the western yard.”
“My son’s wings are hard now.”
Chidi gave out a palm, and Xu Linghe took it firmly with his throat surging blood. The palm used ninety percent Spirit Power. Xu Linghe did not blame on his father, but took a last glance at his father, turned around and left.
Chidi curled up the corner of his mouth with murderous feelings smoldering in his eyes. Chidi was rather shocked that the young man could take his ninety percent Spirit Power and did not change his countenance at all.
“Xu Yinchang, you son is really good. But it is a pity now.”
“What do you want?”
“You and I are the same person. The God’s desire is to rule the three realms in all, which coincides with your ambition to seek dominant position and royal authority. We share the kindred spirit.”
Hahaha…
“Jokes, you want to control a person who is deprived of love?”
Xu Yinchang gathered his Spirit Power and pushed it to his own veins. Chidi protected Xu Yinchang’s life nervously. It was not easy to get a body with Yun Mu spirit pill. Unexpectedly, Xu Yinchang would be so cruel to himself. Chidi recited a spell to constraint Xu Yinchang’s souls.
“Chidi, you are such a hypocrite! My son will never let you go!”
“Oh? I will fix your son later.”
Xu Yinchang fell asleep. Maybe he would wake up tomorrow, and may sleep forever.
“The desire rooted inside the body just needs a lead wire. There is an evil side in the depth of each soul. When I am dominated by desire, I will suppress good thoughts. Only by continuously reminding himself can a human have good thoughts and a heart of sympathy when evil takes up the soul and heart. Confronted with choosing good and evil, a person should have his/her own bottom line. But can we do that? Motivated by the interest, can we still keep our sincerity? In front of authority, winner takes all.”
How many years had Xu Linghe not shed tears? Xu Linghe had never expected that his father was so ruthless that his father almost broke his heart veins. This was a place which engulfed human’s nature. Xu Linghe himself showed no willingness to stay longer.
The blood finally poured out, and immediately a scarlet plum blossom appeared on his silk clothes. In the corner of the street, Wuyou looked at his man quietly. How anxious she was to comfort this man and tell him, “You still have me.” But Wuyou knew that the man only wanted to smooth his wounds by himself. Wuyou hid her tears and held the fainted Han Chiyou to fly to the western yard.
“Mother, are you sleeping?”
Across the window, Wuyou wanted to give her mother a surprise. When the door opened, Madam Hou Qing was shocked at the first sight of the girl in Wuyou’s arms and then choked with a second look. This was her younger daughter. Madam Hou Qing wanted to touch her younger daughter’s face.
“Xiaoyou, what’s wrong with you?”
Madam Hou Qing looked at her unconscious daughter, worried.
“Xiaoyou was scared by me.”
“How could be an elder sister like you? To scare your sister to faint? Xiaoyou is your own sister.”
Madam Hou Qing was worried her little daughter a lot. Ten years had passed and Xiaoyou was 14 years old. Wuyou felt bitter in her heart. “Mother is still partial. In her eyes, she can only see Han Chiyou.” Looking at her mother and then Han Chiyou in the arms, Wuyou retreated and felt her eyes stung. She looked at the new moon and warned herself. “Wuyou, you are not hurt. You have got used to it.”
“Little woman, you still have me.”
Wuyou fell into a warm embrace with clean and familiar smell. The man was good at pretension, which made Wuyou feel much sorry for him. In fact, he had been scarred from the pain, but still bestowed the warmth to Wuyou, blocking the coldness out with his firm arms.
“Linghe, are you still hurt?”
Wuyou touched the bloodstain on the man’s chest. Although he was hurt, hope was stilling beating. “That’s right! We are still alive.”
“Little woman, do not cry in the future. You still have me, and I have you. It is enough. Even though I don’t have father, I have you at least.”
“When we get married, let’s go to Jiangnan, all right?”
“As long as it is what Jiang Wuyou wants, I, Xu Linghe, will go through fire and water for it.”
“That’s settled then.”
“Tomorrow, let’s go to the Fairy Kingdom and tell my grandfather that we will get married. Little woman, I have a cousin. Let’s invite him to drink wine when we get married.”
“Linghe, the Fairy Kingdom is my domain. At that time, I will have my brothers to propose toasts to you. They owed me peach blossoms wine. I even don’t know how they are now.”
“Let’s go now. Go to the Fairy Kingdom.”
Staring at the mother and the daughter who were forming the close attachment in the room, Wuyou nodded in agreement. Then, a big hand clenched a little hand, flying onto the sea of cloud.
