406: Chapter 400: Not Worship…
Then Shatter!
“Huaa Zhu, has Wushuang returned yet?”
An aged voice suddenly echoed above Butterfly Valley, shattering its tranquility and causing countless exquisite butterflies dancing in the air to falter and fall.
A streak of light abruptly shot out from the middle of Butterfly Valley toward its deepest part, the forbidden area of the Huaa Clan and the retreat for the remaining old ancestors.
“Huaa Zhu pays respect to the old ancestor.
It’s my lack of teachings that allowed Wushuang, this disrespectful descendant, to disturb the old ancestor’s seclusion.”
“Huaa Zhu, our Huaa family has tens of thousands of acres of good land, and we only have Wushuang as the sole heir.
I can’t help but worry.
As to who is unfilial, it’s actually you.
If you were more diligent in expanding the family, would I need to be concerned like this?”
“Old ancestor, forgive !”
Huaa Zhu’s face was filled with embarrassnt.
Huaa Zhu is the current Family Head of the Tiannan Huaa Clan, and Wushuang is his only son.
Perhaps because a mber of the Tiannan Huaa Clan beca an Establishnt King generations ago, the bloodline has been very thin ever since, and producing offspring has been extrely difficult, even with many concubines.
Otherwise, the bloodline of the Huaa family would have been in even more difficulty.
“Tell any news of Wushuang.”
The old ancestor of the Huaa naturally understood that Wushuang had not returned; if he had, he would have co to pay his respects imdiately.
Otherwise, Huaa Zhu would have to break Wushuang’s legs first.
“It should be going smoothly, I suppose.
The Hundred Flowers Consort has already selected over a hundred nas.
Their backgrounds have been brought to the valley, ready for the old ancestor’s inspection,” Huaa Zhu hesitated before adding, as he was also a bit anxious.
After all, there had been no news from Wushuang for half a year already.
Although maintaining regular communication was difficult, previously there was an update every one or two months.
“How long has it been since you last heard from him?”
“Huaa Zhu, you don’t need to hide it from !
Has it been two or three months now?”
“mbers of my Huaa family have always been like this; mostly staying within this valley.
Once they go out, they beco wild!
You were the sa in your youth, going three months without any news.
If not for the limitations of our ancestral bloodline, by now, you could have already brought your grandson to …
hahaha…” The old man laughed heartily.
“To the ancestor, it has indeed been so ti without news,” Huaa Zhu said with an embarrassed expression as his past follies were brought up.
“How long has it been?”
“Almost…
four months now!” Huaa Zhu’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he dared not reveal the full truth.
“So long?
Four months?”
“Are you not afraid that Wushuang might encounter so mishap?
Our Huaa family only has this one sole heir!” The old ancestor of the Huaa angrily ordered, “Go, imdiately send soone, no, you must go personally!
Do not return without news of Wushuang!”
“Yes…
old ancestor, I have already sent people!”
“But, old ancestor, rest assured, nothing will happen to Wushuang.
With the prestige of our Tiannan Huaa family, who would dare to harm him?
Besides, according to my grandson’s character, it would be good for him to face so troubles!”
“Hmm?”
“Our Huaa family hasn’t taken action for over a hundred years.
It’s ti to establish our reputation in Jianghu again.”
“So, you think sothing must first go wrong with Wushuang in order to establish our authority?
Huaa Zhu, you have an unusual temperant, but you still lack ruthlessness!
When our Huaa family wants to set our authority, do we need to find excuses?”
“Hmm, when the Hundred Flowers Consorts enter the valley, you will send a Talisman Communication to the Black Dragon Domain, inviting emperors from various nations and Sect Masters to the valley for the ceremony, under your own na!”
“Old ancestor, is this for establishing our authority?”
“Exactly!”
“Let’s see who shows up and who doesn’t!
If anyone thinks they are too good to attend, then this old man’s bones must move again.
If I don’t move, they’ll rust.
Just like five hundred years ago, when the Sect Leader of the Phantom Divine Sect, Huyan Ci, didn’t present his daughter for marriage, if they don’t…they’ll be shattered!”
“Old ancestor, you are wise!”
Huaa Zhu responded solemnly, unable to compare to the old ancestor’s thunderous thods.
…..
Roar!
As a tiger’s roar pierced the sky, Ye Zhen and Caiyi bade farewell to Qiyun Sect Leader Guo Qijing, and together they rode the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten towards the northwest.
After spending several days ensuring Ye Zhen’s safe return to the Qiyun Sect under the supervision of Stars Tower Master Hai Luoshuang, Ye Zhen didn’t linger, and almost imdiately prepared to return to his hotown in Wusan County, Gold City County Town.
Naturally, accompanying Ye Zhen back ho was Caiyi.
The reason for his haste was simple.
According to Ye Zhen’s own sensing, the dragon-form phantom inside his body was almost completely integrated, leaving only a very small residue.
In about four or five days, it would be entirely rged.
The so-called ‘blessings for all’, Sect, Empire, they had all received a touch of the force of destiny.
Thus, it was essential for Ye Zhen’s family as well.
Normally, the family is of utmost importance.
However, there is a saying, ‘a void cannot receive additional fillings.’
Even though the force of destiny is intangible, the Ye Family is just a small clan and suddenly absorbing a massive amount of this empowering force of destiny might bring great disaster.
This was the result of careful deliberation between Ye Zhen and the elders of the Qiyun Sect.
However, if Ye Zhen waited until his newly acquired force of destiny was nearly depleted before returning ho to influence the family’s own destiny, the impact would be much gentler.
But even so, Guo Qijing also estimated that it was very likely to bring earth-shattering changes to the Ye Family.
And Caiyi had to be included as well.
“Brother Ye Zhen, I….
am a bit scared!”
As the Cloud Winged Tiger King sped through the clouds, Caiyi bit her lip lightly, a trace of unease visible on her pretty face.
“What is there to be scared of?”
With Caiyi’s current cultivation, what could she be afraid of?
The only thing Caiyi feared was eting Ye Zhen’s parents soon.
The saying goes, a new bride is nervous to et her in-laws.
Although Caiyi was far from unattractive, possessing a beauty that could overthrow cities and having the nickna of a fairy, such emotions were unavoidable.
“Don’t worry, my parents are kind and honest people.
They will be too busy liking you to feel anything else.”
“Really?”
“Truer than pearls!”
Laughing and teasing, Caiyi, held from behind by Ye Zhen, found their breaths becoming rapid under the intimacy, her clear earlobes gradually turning a bright red, like lustrous rubies, irresistibly enticing.
“Brother Ye Zhen, stop….”
Feeling Ye Zhen’s restless hands, Caiyi whimpered softly, but this whimper, like a spell, made Ye Zhen, who was already breathing heavily, beco even more fervent in his actions.
He directly laid Caiyi down in his arms, and his mouth found hers, the high altitude filled with the sounds of their muffled moans.
….
It has to be said, every ti Ye Zhen returned ho, he felt differently.
The last ti Ye Zhen went ho was over two years ago, and even though he rode a Silver-horned Horse capable of traveling a thousand miles a day, the journey over mountains and rivers still took a month.
Going ho back then was an extre ti-consuming affair.
But this ti, riding the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, he bypassed the rugged terrains, drastically reducing the journey to just half a day’s ti, and he arrived at Wusan County Gold City County Town.
However, quick as the ti was, those six hours made Ye Zhen endure a tornt.
Anyone who held a fairy-like beauty in their arms, beautiful yet untouchable, would undoubtedly suffer an ordeal.
Ye Zhen and Caiyi did indeed get along with deep affection.
Initially, Caiyi was very shy, but as emotions flared, she too seed ready for his affections.
Thanks to Ye Zhen’s strong self-control, a dramatic scene played out in the high sky, which, of course, wasn’t much of a challenge for him.
But had they encountered a fellow traveler by chance, Ye Zhen would have truly been at a loss.
To look but not taste, or not to fully taste, troubled Ye Zhen all along the way.
Of course, it troubled Caiyi as well.
So much so that when Caiyi dismounted from the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, her face was still flushed red, nearly staggering, casting a glance at Ye Zhen that nearly lted him.
When the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten appeared over the skies of Gold City County, there was no chaos as expected; instead, the common people gathered together, excitedly pointing at the giant in the sky.
Why weren’t they afraid?
There was a legend to explain that.
The legend said that Duke Wusan was a reincarnation of a Heavenly God, protected by a divine beast, which was a tiger with wings.
The legend also said that Duke Wusan had divine veins, and one day in the forest, a roar subdued a Spirit Communication Tiger King to attend him!
….
Such legends were nurous in Gold City County, but that Duke Wusan, Ye Zhen, had a Tiger King by his side was an indisputable fact.
Gold City County was where Duke Wusan ca from—who would fear a tiger?
When the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten appeared over Gold City County, the entire place buzzed with excitent, especially the Ye Family, which was boiling over, servants rushing to report to Old Master Ye.
Yes, Ye Zhen’s father, Ye Tiancheng, was now considered Old Master Ye of the Ye Family.
As Ye Zhen appeared at the doorstep, his father Ye Tiancheng kept his gaze traveling over his son’s body, maintaining a bit of his composure, but Mi Jiangxue, Ye Zhen’s mother, had her eyes fill with tears in an instant.
No matter how renowned Ye Zhen was, glowing with unparalleled splendor, the old couple from the Ye Family, having seen the world, knew the perils of the Jianghu and were naturally worried.
Not caring that Ye Zhen had grown up, she pulled him into her arms and began patting him wildly.
“You rotten boy, still know how to co ho!
Your mom has almost gone mad missing you….”
In the midst of Mi Jiangxue’s swelling maternal affection, she then noticed Caiyi standing behind Ye Zhen, fairy-like.
However, at that mont, Caiyi seed sowhat out of place amidst the Ye Family’s familial love, feeling like an unexpected green lotus in a painting of a family reunion.
The affection shown by the Ye Family people, especially that maternal care from Ye Zhen’s mother, seed very foreign to Caiyi, yet there was also a very strange feeling.
“Zhen’er, this must be the Caiyi girl you often write about in your letters to your mother.”
“What a handso girl.
Co here!”
Mi Jiangxue, experienced as she was, instinctively felt the coolness of this girl her son had brought ho, but she still warmly took Caiyi by the hand and headed inside.
“Caiyi, now that you’re here, it’s just like your own ho.
Don’t feel like an outsider!
You must be tired after a whole day’s journey, co, co….”
“Ho….”
As she heard this word, Caiyi’s gaze grew distant.
Ho….
Is this what ho feels like….
