Chapter 29 - II
Wu Xiao, who was hiding in a dark corner, regarded this as Xie Zuo’s betrayal and cursed him and Huo Yao day and night.
Wu Xiao always hid in a place where Xie Zuo couldn’t reach him but could vaguely hear his insults. If Xie Zuo was completely angered, Wu Xiao would be dragged out and beaten and tortured. After repeated attempts several times, he still refused to change his mind and insisted on exchanging physical pain for the freedom of speech.
On this day, when Xie Zuo was chasing Wu Xiao in the abyss again, a red light flashed above his head.
Xie Zuo stopped suddenly; this guy was finally here!
Feng Yi shook his coquettish colorful fan, dressed in a gorgeous red dress, and landed gracefully from the air.
The wind in the abyss was strong, blowing open the hem of his thin dress, revealing his strong calves.
Xie Zuo and Wu Xiao looked at him speechlessly, with the same thoughts in their hearts: Women’s clothing was just women’s clothing, why did he have to deliberately show his leg hair?
As soon as Feng Yi landed, he asked Xie Zuo for credit and complained, “Oh, what happened to you and Huo Yao recently has really broken my heart. I’m so busy, look at the dark circles under my eyes. A deity is overworked, overworked! I have dark circles under my eyes, can you believe it?”
“Stop talking nonsense, what on earth did Huo Yao do?” Xie Zuo asked impatiently.
Feng Yi covered his mouth with a fan and whispered, “This is a secret of the six realms.” At the same time, he glanced sideways at Wu Xiao, who was leaning over to listen.
Xie Zuo raised his foot and kicked Wu Xiao away, “Speak quickly!”
“You also went to the human world this time. The human world is divided into four major sides: east, west, north, and south. They are managed by four deities. The western sky is my territory, you know!” Feng Yi did not forget to praise himself.
Xie Zuo nodded.
“You have seen the Beiyuan Deity, the one from the East China Sea,” Feng Yi said scornfully. “There is also the Southern Emperor. Like the Beiyuan Deity, he was also a human-made deity. The Southern Emperor recently suffered a tribulation and has fallen. Now that the deities of the Southern Kingdom are leaderless, Tiandi must elect a new emperor to lead the Southern Kingdom as soon as possible.”
“Ah, you may want to ask when Wu Xiao was dead, why Tiandi are not in a hurry to appoint a new King of the East China Sea. Because he is just a loser who only knows how to go crazy. Tiandi have stopped caring about his business for a long, long time, and it would be the same with or without him in the east.”
“The Southern Kingdom is different from other places. The deities in the sky are united but the people on the earth are not united. In this place, there are sixteen small countries in the human world! In the sixteen countries for tens of thousands of years, countless outstanding people have ascended to become deities, and they have grudges from generation to generation. It was brought from the earth to the sky. The deities of the Southern Kingdom quarreled in the sky, and the mortals of the Southern Kingdom fought on the ground, causing the sky to be filled with smoke, and the life on the earth was in ruins.”
“Unifying the Southern Kingdom and turning conflicts into friendship was the lifelong wish of the Southern Emperor. Unfortunately, it was not until his death that he could not do anything. It was not achieved. Before the tribulation, he had a premonition that he would not be able to escape. He specifically asked for the decree of Tiandi, hoping that Tiandi could appoint the emperor who unified the southern kingdom as the new emperor of the southern kingdom. And Tiandi have already agreed.”
“This is what happened a few days ago. Tiandi summoned Huo Yao. In order to compete for the throne of the emperor, the deities of the Southern Kingdom descended to earth one after another and reincarnated. They are all the heirs of the Sixteen Kingdoms. Before the emperor of the Southern Kingdom fell, he had already chosen a candidate, his attendant deity, Mu Rong. He will be reincarnated into the Yunzhao Kingdom, the country where the Southern Emperor was a human. Tiandi are also more optimistic about Mu Rong, so they sent Huo Yao to come down to earth to protect him.”
Hearing this, Xie Zuo felt sour in his heart.
Who was this Mu Rong? He actually had Huo Yao to protect him. Wait, came down to earth?!
Xie Zuo said, “You mean Huo Yao is going to be reincarnated as a human?”
“That’s natural. Not only Huo Yao, but so many deities have descended to earth, and they all have their own supporters.” Feng Yi shook his fan, “Your Majesty, if you wait here, you may never see Huo Yao for eight thousand years. Once he enters the mortal world, he cannot control everything. He may lose himself in the world, or he may fall in love with someone else. Oh, I don’t know…”
Xie Zuo heard Lao Luo said that all deities who descend to earth must drink a bowl of worry-free tea before they left, and they would forget all about their past. This… he couldn’t bear the thought that Huo Yao had completely forgotten about him and started to be bound by fate with others!
Feng Yi spread his hands regretfully, “If it were somewhere else, I could still take you out to see him. There’s really nothing I can do here in the abyss.”
“This is not the first time my soul has left my body,” Xie Zuo said slowly, “Huo Yao accidentally ran out with the magic weapon I refined for him and my soul followed him. He also took me out this time using a divine tree stand-in. I think if there is a suitable psychic medium, the success is relatively high.”
Feng Yi was shocked and said, “Have you thought of a solution?”
Xie Zuo took off the purse hanging from his waist. Originally, this purse contained coins, broken silver, gold beans, and the like that Huo Yao had given him to spend in the human world. This purse was also a magic weapon. It had a huge internal space; it could also resist the erosion of blood mist. However, the money inside had already turned into ashes the moment it entered the abyss.
Xie Zuo pulled out a small strand of black hair from inside, “This is Huo Yao’s hair that I collected. It was originally intended to be used for refining weapons. I will find a way to get my soul out of my body and attach it to it. You should be able to get out of the abyss with it.”
Feng Yi was so impressed that he said, “Your Majesty, may I ask, how did you collect it? That guy is unlikely to let you pull his hair obediently, right?”
“While he was kissing me, I also touched him, I can smooth out a few strands every time.”
Feng Yi gave him a thumbs up, “Amazing!”
.
Xie Zuo’s prediction was right; after he dripped his blood on Huo Yao’s hair, his soul was indeed smoothly attached to it.
Feng Yi held this strand of hair in his arms and swaggered through the layers of restrictions in the abyss and came outside.
After all, the hair was not as effective as the divine tree substitute, so Xie Zuo could only appear as a translucent shadow following Feng Yi.
Feng Yi took him to the Royal Palace of Yunzhao Kingdom. “Huo Yao should be eight years old at this time. He is probably practicing martial arts hard in the imperial city.”
Xie Zuo saw the sky full of red clouds somewhere in the palace and said curiously: “What is that?”
“Auspiciousness descends from the sky.” Feng Yi looked at the time, “It’s time for Mu Rong to be reincarnated. The deities will bring some auspicious light and glow when they come to earth…”
Feng Yi spoke slowly, stopping, he looked straight at the red light, “I have a bold idea now.”
“What?” Xie Zuo looked down at the Yunzhao Palace, secretly guessing where Huo Yao would be. What did an eight-year-old look like?
Feng Yi said, “What’s your impression of the human world?”
“It’s quite fun, and there is a lot of delicious food. I saw how mortals live.”
“Xie Zuo, have you heard of a saying? It’s better experience it personally than just watching.”
“Huh?”
Feng Yi slapped him with a fan, “Go, I will help you again!”
A strong hurricane hit Xie Zuo, and he was suddenly lifted off the clouds and fell upside down like a green onion into the red clouds.
