"One of those two disciples is , and the other is Nüwa," Fu Xi said, his gaze softening imdiately.
Lai Xiaole and Liu Feng remained silent, quietly waiting for Fu Xi to continue.
Fu Xi said, "Back then, there were only Nüwa and between heaven and earth. In this lonely world, we fell in love with each other. But a thousand years later, the appearance of a woman caused a rift between us."
Hearing this, Lai Xiaole had a bit of understanding and couldn't help but ask, "Was that woman Yaoji?"
Fu Xi nodded and said, "Yes, she was Yaoji."
"What's Yaoji's background then?" Lai Xiaole couldn't resist asking again.
Fu Xi sighed and said, "Don't be impatient, let explain slowly. When Yaoji appeared before Nüwa and , we were both taken aback and questioned her about where she ca from."
At this point, Fu Xi paused, then slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket instead of continuing.
Lai Xiaole and Liu Feng, intrigued, did not dare speak.
After lighting the cigarette, Fu Xi took a drag. Perhaps because he wasn't used to smoking, he choked a bit, coughed twice, and said, "It turns out that in the last days of Pangu's presence in this world, he used the last of his energy to create a person, and that person was Yaoji."
According to Fu Xi, Yaoji should be considered as Pangu's daughter. Lai Xiaole and Liu Feng exchanged looks.
Fu Xi continued, "Nüwa and I were disciples of Pangu. Hearing that Yaoji was Pangu's descendant, we naturally dared not neglect her. Perhaps because Nüwa and I had spent too long in this earthly world, and due to Yaoji's temptations towards , I finally did sothing that let Nüwa down."
"When Nüwa discovered the abnormal relationship between Yaoji and , she flew into a rage. She fought fiercely with Yaoji at the summit of Mount Tai, almost destroying the world created by Pangu."
Reaching this point, Fu Xi took another deep drag from his cigarette, his eyes filled with indescribable sadness.
"What happened next?" Liu Feng couldn't help but ask when Fu Xi didn't continue.
Amidst the swirling smoke, Fu Xi said, "Their fierce battle alard a reclusive ancient ancestor, who stopped their world-ending fight and assigned specific roles to each of us in this world."
Lai Xiaole chid in, "Assigned roles?"
Fu Xi nodded and said, "Indeed, that ancient ancestor tasked Nüwa with the responsibility of creating all living things in this world, assigned Yaoji the responsibility for overseeing the destiny of all living things, and I was responsible for creating the civilization of all living things."
Lai Xiaole thoroughly grasped it now. The legend that Nüwa is the Mother of Humans and Fu Xi is the Human King ca from this.
Fu Xi said, "Naturally, we three did not dare defy this ancient ancestor's will. Nüwa began the creation of all life, while I focused entirely on the future rules of activity for all living things. Only Yaoji had nothing to do before all life was created."
"Yaoji, being idle, inadvertently found a seal left by Pangu before his ascension. To break Pangu's seal, Yaoji tried all kinds of thods."
"Eventually, she broke Pangu's seal and found an ancient, extraordinary flower from before the heavens and earth were ford. According to the records, consuming this flower could grant immortality, sharing the lifespan of the heavens and earth. Yaoji was overjoyed and secretly consud the flower but soon discovered a severe consequence."
"Although this ancient flower could grant immortality, it also transford a person into a monster, what is now known by the Taoists as a 'zombie'. No pain, no emotions, devoid of seven emotions and six sensual pleasures. Discovering this grave consequence, Yaoji devised a sche for Nüwa and to consu the flower as well."
At this point, Fu Xi sighed again and said, "Afterward, we three beca such half-human, half-zombie monsters, neither living nor dead in this world. Yaoji, being petty, always felt that her transformation was due to Nüwa, so every few centuries, she caused great catastrophes in the human world."
Hearing this, Lai Xiaole took a deep breath and interrupted, saying, "So, the so-called Heavenly Tribulation was caused by Yaoji?"
Fu Xi said, "Yes, Yaoji, as the deity governing the fate of all beings, is the one who controls their destinies. Nüwa, as the creator of all beings, cannot bear to watch her creations suffer due to Yaoji's catastrophes, causing their resentnt towards each other to deepen with each great battle, threatening to destroy the entire world."
"To allow this world to continue avoiding destruction by Yaoji, that secluded ancient ancestor arranges for a Tian Mang to descend every few centuries to thwart these calamities."
Hearing this, Lai Xiaole sowhat understood. He already knew Lin Chuan's identity as Tian Mang but hadn't expected the real cause of the heavenly tribulation to stem from Yaoji.
Fu Xi then turned to Lai Xiaole and said, "Your family's Book of Destiny is an ancient to. If used properly, it could change the fate of all beings and break free from the shackles of the deity of fate."
Lai Xiaole exclaid, "But I have yet to uncover its secrets."
Fu Xi shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Actually, I only know that the Book of Destiny can free people from the constraints of destiny, but I don't know how to unlock it. I sought you out simply because of my wife. She is innocent, all because of , sigh, forget it."
...
Zhou Rui is currently still in Shanghai. To be honest, she was originally a Shanghai girl; her ho is in Shanghai.
Her parents have not been ntioned before, because Zhou Rui's parents are not in China; they are both overseas.
Since graduating, Zhou Rui went to her aunt's house in Jiangbei City, which is how she ca to know Lin Chuan, leading to the many stories between her and Lin Chuan.
Zhou Rui is pregnant. She knows what this child will an for her, an unmarried young woman, but she has no regrets.
Her feelings for Lin Chuan are no less than Tang Yung's, but she understands clearly that Lin Chuan cannot marry her.
The child is the crystallization of her love with Lin Chuan. She is willing to risk her life to give birth to the child, which shows how much she values this unborn child.
Zhou Rui's parents have a house in Shanghai, located in Zhabei District. She chose to return to Shanghai with her aunt because she just wanted to quietly, peacefully give birth to this child.
Zhou Rui's aunt has no children, and her husband died early, so she long ago began treating this niece as her own daughter.
At this mont, Zhou Rui, with her big belly, was sitting on the sofa in the living room, while Zhou Rui's aunt sat nearby, looking at Zhou Rui with loving eyes.
Zhou Rui turned to look at her aunt and said with a smile, "Auntie, why are you looking at ?"
Zhou Rui's aunt gently sighed and said, "Xiao Rui, I think you should ntion your pregnancy to your parents, or we could return to Jiangbei City now. After all, there are neighbors there who can help if anything happens."
Zhou Rui sat up from the sofa, walked over to her aunt, affectionately held her shoulder, and laughed, "Aunt, don't worry. You absolutely can't tell my parents. I'm fine, so please rest assured."
Zhou Rui's aunt sighed again, looking at Zhou Rui kindly and said, "You silly girl, I really don't know what to say to you."
Just as the words were spoken, there was suddenly a knock at the door.
Zhou Rui's aunt was about to get up to answer the door when Zhou Rui smiled and stopped her, saying, "Aunt, I'll answer the door."
Zhou Rui, with her large belly, walked to the door, opened it, and saw a twenty-sothing woman standing outside.
This woman was dressed uniquely, and her hair was a light shade of blue. She seed to be of mixed heritage. Zhou Rui did not know this woman and looked at her, saying, "Who are you looking for?"
The woman also looked at Zhou Rui and said, "Are you Zhou Rui?"
Zhou Rui nodded.
The woman's face showed no expression as she said, "I'm Blue Fox, Lin Chuan sent to protect you."
How did Blue Fox co here? It's because Lin Chuan received a phone call from Zhou Kai, who was very worried about Zhou Rui and got her Shanghai address from Zhou Kai.
Lin Chuan originally wanted to co in person, but had to handle Zhou Kai's affairs in Jiangbei City, so he couldn't spare the ti. He then thought of the Silver Fox, the leader of the Fire Fox Organization.
Silver Fox and Lin Chuan have an extraordinary relationship. After receiving Lin Chuan's call, he intended to co to Shanghai to protect Zhou Rui himself, but had many things to handle, so he sent Blue Fox instead.
Upon hearing that this woman nad Blue Fox was sent by Lin Chuan to protect her, Zhou Rui was astonished, taking a while to process it and then promptly invited Blue Fox inside.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Rui excused herself to her bedroom to change clothes. Once inside, she closed the door and called Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan was still in East Sea County at the ti, accompanied by Er Niu.
Wu Yuanyuan and Huang ngqi, two won related to him, were in Huang Liyong's massage shop, making him feel awkward. So he used Er Niu as an excuse to slip out.
Leading honest Er Niu along the streets of East Sea County, Lin Chuan noticed a nearby barbecue restaurant and walked directly over.
"Er Niu, today I'll treat you to a big al." Lin Chuan said while walking, addressing Er Niu who followed him.
Er Niu's eyes lit up, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, saying, "Great, I like that."
Just as they reached the entrance of the barbecue restaurant, Lin Chuan's phone rang.
Lin Chuan took out his phone and saw it was a call from Zhou Rui. He quickly said to Er Niu, "Go inside and find a seat; I'll co in after finishing the call."
