"Child, don’t worry, rest first," the woman smiled and said.
"Mother is not hungry."
"It’s okay," Gu Muyu smiled back and went to the kitchen.
A very rundown kitchen.
She set up the pot to cook, boiling so thin porridge.
Once the rice was cooked, she served it into three bowls, one of which she brought to her mother.
Another bowl she took to her own room.
She looked at the young man still unconscious.
One hand pried open Xu Zii’s jaw while the other carefully spoon-fed the porridge into his mouth.
...
At this mont, Xu Zii was actually aware of all these things.
He also knew about the situation outside.
It’s just that the refinent of the Heavenly Punishnt Divine Pupil had reached a critical mont.
Moreover, if he really was in danger, Bai ng would take action imdiately.
In the True Fate World, storms raged, with endless tempests swirling.
The Myriad Demons Tribe in the northern part of the Divine Continent had been thoroughly established.
That first batch of dragonlings had passed their juvenile phase and were beginning to grow slowly.
...
After finishing feeding the porridge, Gu Muyu went to her mother’s room, planning to bring the bowl back to clean.
"Yu," Muyu’s mom sighed softly and said.
"Taking care of mother for so long, it’s been tough on you, child."
"Taking care of one’s parents is a natural duty, isn’t it? Why speak of hardship," Gu Muyu shook her head in response.
"I’m nothing but a burden while I’m alive, sotis I really just want to die," Muyu’s mom said sorrowfully.
"But I’ve made a promise to soone.
To wait for him to co back, to wait forever."
As she was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, Gu Muyu paused for a mont and said faintly, "You’re talking about that man, right?
He will never co back, never."
"Then I’ll wait until death," Muyu’s mom responded.
"He’s your father; don’t bear such strong resentnt. He surely had his reasons."
"So I should be understanding of a father I’ve never t since birth?" Gu Muyu retorted.
Then she left the room with the bowls and chopsticks.
"You child," Muyu’s mom sighed from behind.
The days in Luohe Village were plain yet real.
Xu Zii hadn’t expected that condensing the Heavenly Punishnt’s Divine Pupil would take a whole month.
During this month, Gu Muyu fed him every day.
The girl would sit by his side daily, pouring out bits and pieces from her life.
Everything under the sun, all kinds of happenings.
Perhaps the girl rarely had soone to confide in.
Or perhaps more rare was that this confidant was unconscious, allowing her to speak freely without restraint.
Xu Zii listened to the girl’s stories with amusent.
In the tedious days of condensing the Heavenly Punishnt Divine Pupil, these small secrets of the girl’s heart were like spices in life.
They gave him a bit of distraction during the grinding ti.
...…
One month later, within the True Fate World now.
The weather changed violently; thunder roared.
Above the firmant, Xu Zii stood aloft.
Where his eyes should be, there was a flash of golden light.
Spiritual energy burst forth around him, and every move he made carried trendous might.
As he slowly opened his eyes,
Those pupils were unpredictable, rolling with divine might, the gold light suddenly evident.
Within them, deep purple Divine Patterns flowed.
As Xu Zii looked towards the ocean,
A bolt of Heavenly Punishnt Divine Thunder burst forth from his eyes.
With a "boom,"
The divine thunder shot out at an incredible speed; people didn’t even have ti to react.
The Heavenly Thunder had already pierced through the Endless Void with supre might.
It struck the sea’s surface in one fell swoop.
With a thunderous boom, the sea surged with towering waves.
The ocean within a hundred miles radius was all in turmoil.
Xu Zii took a deep breath, quite satisfied with the power of the Heavenly Punishnt Divine Thunder.
Actually, the Heavenly Punishnt Divine Pupil’s attack had three layers, and what he had used just now was only the first layer’s Nine Skies Heaven Thunder.
Behind it still lay the Dutian Divine Thunder and, the final layer, the true Chaos Heavenly Punishnt.
When the Heavenly Punishnt Divine Pupil’s concentration was complete, Xu Zii’s eyes also returned to their usual state.
They just seed even more bright and compelling now.
anwhile, outside.
Gu Muyu was still sitting by the bedside, sharing the inner thoughts of a young girl.
"The story is quite interesting," Xu Zii replied.
"Thank you," Gu Muyu replied subconsciously.
Then she suddenly ca to, standing up from her chair and stepping back a few steps.
"You, you’re awake."
Xu Zii slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
"What? Am I that frightening?"
"No, no," Gu Muyu quickly shook her head and said.
"It’s good that you’re awake, it’s good."
Xu Zii didn’t speak, he got off the bed and walked straight outside.
"You’ve just woken up, don’t you want to rest a bit more?" Gu Muyu hurriedly asked from behind.
Xu Zii shook his head and walked outside.
The weather seed a bit hazy, as if it had just rained lightly.
Looking out into the distance from the doorway, the view outside was quite nice.
Mountains and jungles were shrouded in mist.
They possessed the obscure beauty often depicted in poetry and paintings.
It was just that Gu Muyu’s ho appeared a bit shabby.
Seeing Xu Zii walk out, Gu Muyu followed closely behind.
She seed a bit nervous as she said, "My na is Gu Muyu."
"My na is Xu Zii."
"Young Master Xu?"
"Just call Zimo, Brother," Xu Zii shook his head and responded.
"Zimo… Brother," Gu Muyu paused for a bit and eventually clasped her hands together, bowing her head as she softly called out in a voice fine as a mosquito’s buzz.
"Is it that hard to say?" Xu Zii asked with a smile.
"It’s not that. It’s just that other than my mom, I’ve never had other relatives since I was little," Gu Muyu quickly explained.
Xu Zii smiled.
The girl was very pure-hearted and kind, and sotis very stubborn.
He quite liked the comfortable life of Luohe Village.
But it was only temporary, and after a while, the fighter within him would also grow restless.
"Are you hungry? I’ll go cook for you," Gu Muyu suddenly rembered sothing and quickly said.
"Noodles again?" Xu Zii asked with a smile.
These past few days, the als he’d had were almost always noodles; there was rarely any vegetables, let alone at.
"That’s all we have at ho, but if you want, I can go borrow so vegetables from my aunt’s house," Gu Muyu replied.
"No need. I’ll take care of it," Xu Zii shook his head.
Taking Gu Muyu with him, he headed straight to the outskirts of the village.
"Where are we going?" Gu Muyu asked curiously.
"Hunting."
"But the jungle outside the village is full of strong wild beasts," Gu Muyu quickly interjected.
"I heard that the last ti soone from the village went hunting, many people died at the hands of wild beasts."
"Don’t worry. I’ve learned so blade techniques."
Talking along the way, they arrived at the dense jungle outside.
Here, the vegetation was lush, an ideal haunt for wild beasts.
Actually, it was fortunate that the creatures here were beasts that had not yet started their cultivation; there wasn’t even a trace of Monster Beasts.
If there were Monster Beasts present, an ordinary village like Luohe would be wiped out in an instant.
