Chapter 45: In the ancestral home of Zhu Yingxue Liu’s family, Zhu Huai finally...
Inside the Liu family's ancestral home, Zhu Huai finally woke up. He hadn't slept well, and his entire body ached.
When he looked up, he found that it was Liu Xiang who was hugging him tightly, and he was hugging him very hard!
Zhu Huai struggled but failed to break free. He yawned. Although he was awake, his body was still a little tired, as if he had been dreaming for too long. He was still very weak when he woke up the next day.
Looking down again, he saw that the sleeping god still had his hands tightly on his waist, holding him possessively, as if Zhu Huai would run away from his arms.
Zhu Huai wanted to pry his hands apart and push the person away, like pushing a heavy statue or a mountain.
No push.
He was a little angry and pinched Liu Xiang's nose.
...There is no breath when offering sacrifices to the gods.
Zhu Huai was almost frightened, and after he came to his senses, he realized that this was Liu Xiang's normal state. He didn't know what was going on... Perhaps, after finding his heart, Liu Xiang would be able to recover from his current half-dead state.
Zhu Huai held a keen expectation for this. He struggled in Liu Xiang's arms for a long time, and slowly crawled out from under those hands like a cricket cocoon, like a black cat that finally gained freedom. With his hair messed up, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he climbed out of the coffin.
As a result, just as he escaped, a figure suddenly flew to his side. The little mermaid was flying in the air and staring at him. A clacking sound was heard. It was Mu Xiang's clone who ran to his side and hugged his calf.
The two Liu Xiangs were as delicate and cute as figurines. Zhu Huai held them in his arms and heard the little mermaid say, "You saw him in your dream again."
Zhu Huai and Liu Xiang both knew who he was referring to. Zhu Huai sighed and said, "Yes, your heart is very clingy and difficult to deal with."
He told Liu Xiang about Jin Xiang's situation, his brows furrowed as he spoke. "Jin Xiang was taken away by Xiang Liu, and only Tu Xiang is still missing. Aren't you worried at all that he might get into trouble?"
He sighed when he thought of Xiang Liu breaking Jin Xiang's horn. Liu Xiang didn't seem surprised at all, as if he knew that if his heart was left outside, there would definitely be trouble.
The most important thing now is to get back the last earth element.
When the main body has not awakened, the three phases combined into one may be able to defeat the combination of gold and fire.
Gold is aggressive and fire is evil. Zhu Huai suddenly realized that Xiangliu's attributes were all extremely aggressive. This might be related to his personality. His passionate heart could never be restrained.
"When he comes to you next time, I will teach him a lesson." Liu Xiang said coldly. Zhu Huai was still a little worried that they would really kill him, so he said, "Don't beat him to death."
In fact, Zhu Huai really wanted them to sit down, shake hands, and play mahjong with each other, but looking at Xiang Liu and Liu Xiang's expressions, this was impossible.
It would be better to just let them beat him up.
If there's a chance, it would be better to just put Xiangliu in a sack and bring him back... Zhu Huai suddenly felt a little amused when he thought of that scene. He said, "Xiangliu has been staying in the ghost cave and not coming out. What is he planning?"
Liu Xiang seemed to be lost in thought. After a moment, he said, "Did you ever tell him that you prefer life in the human world to life in the underworld?"
Zhu Huai nodded.
"That's right." Liu Xiang said, "If it were me, in order to please you and fulfill your wish, the method I would use might be to completely control the ghost cave in my palm, and then use the power of the ghost cave to attack the human world, dragging the human world into the ghost cave."
"In this way, there will be no distinction between ghosts and humans in the world, and you can live in the world you want." When Liu Xiang said these terrifying words that made his back cold, his face did not show much expression, as if this was just an extremely ordinary little thing.
Zhu Huai's expression was completely stunned. He said, "When did I ever say that the ghost world should merge with the human world?"
He reacted at this time, his heart beating violently, and he quickly grabbed the little mermaid in front of him and shook his body, causing the fish tail to shake continuously. The evil tree below was also grabbed by Zhu Huai and swayed along with it.
"You bastard!" Zhu Huai said, "Give up this idea right now! You... you're going to unleash unrest on the entire world."
Zhu Huai was almost out of breath. He had no idea that the few short words he whispered to Xiang Liu would develop to this point.
Fortunately, this was just the beginning, something that hadn't even begun. After all, even if Xiang Liu really had the ability to turn things upside down, he wouldn't have the time to do it.
After all, the last Earth Phase had not been recovered yet, and Zhu Huai only then understood Xiang Liu's thoughts: Zhu Huai said that he was too poor, so he took the Gold Phase and cut off a corner of it; Zhu Huai said that the ghost cave was not good, so he built a palace in the ghost cave and placed the most exquisite treasures in it; Zhu Huai said that he preferred to be in the human world... so he thought of a way to integrate the human world and the ghost cave.
These actions were linked together, and no matter where Zhu Huai was dissatisfied, he would have a way to deal with it. But the only thing Xiang Liu had not considered was whether Zhu Huai was willing to watch him do these things.
Zhu Huai wanted to beat Xiang Liu up, but Xiang Liu comforted him at the right moment, "Don't worry, he hasn't even mastered the ghost cave yet. Once I catch him, all these problems will be solved."
Zhu Huai was like an unlucky guy who just found out that there was a time bomb in his house that was about to explode and kill everyone in the next second. He was very panicked because of what Liu Xiang said. When he heard that the time bomb was still on the way and had not even been ignited, his anger subsided a little, and he suddenly felt less nervous.
"With your Wood and Water elements combined, can you catch him?" Zhu Huai asked, "Why hasn't your true form woken up yet?"
"This is the ability of the Heart Minister. To me, the heart is the most important organ. But on our wedding day, I will definitely wake up and complete our engagement." Liu Xiang said, as if the wedding date between them was the most important thing.
In other words, by that time, no matter what Xin Xiang wants to do, Liu Xiang will have a way to catch him back. Will it be so easy?
Zhu Huai was in a complicated mood, but what he had just thought was indeed too horrible. Thinking about it carefully, did Xiangliu really have that ability?
Perhaps before he achieves his goal, he will be attacked by a group of ghost kings and gods, and his career will be destroyed before it is halfway through. Xiangliu, who has become the target of public criticism, is destined to become the enemy of the entire world.
Zhu Huai suddenly said, "Were you trying to scare me on purpose just now?"
Liu Xiang's expression was very innocent. Zhu Huai thought, if you were so powerful, how could you have been killed so easily by someone in your previous life?
However, Zhu Huai still did not let go of the matter easily. Xiangliu came to him in his dreams again and again. This time Zhu Huai was cautious. After knowing that Xinxiang was using the contract to locate his position, he also tried to control the contract and find Xiangliu's location in turn.
The next time Xiangliu wants to look for him, he will give him a surprise.
Zhu Huai and Liu Xiang were plotting something, when Yin Quan said, "Zhu Huai, congratulations on completing another mission."
It issued a new mission. For some reason, Yin Quan's tone was somewhat serious: "After reclaiming the Wood Phase, the only one left is the last clone. Zhu Huai, you must ensure that the Earth Phase returns to its original form."
It carefully instructed and issued a new four-star quest: [Retrieve the Earth-phase clone and ensure its smooth return.]
Yin Quan flapped its wings and gave Zhu Huai a reward: "Zhu Huai, my clan controls fate, and we also have the means to peek into fate. You still don't know where the Earth Phase is, right? If you can observe fate, then you can find the trace of the Earth Phase."
"However, this power is extremely dangerous. You have also glimpsed the secrets of heaven before, and you know that if you are not careful, you may suffer backlash. Therefore, during the process of cultivation, you need to first observe the fate of ordinary people, and then slowly observe the fate of stronger people. This is also your way of cultivation."
Of course Zhu Huai would not refuse. Since his rebirth, the rewards Yin Quan gave him were tailor-made for him, and he always helped him at the right time.
Although this little moth's presence is usually not strong, Zhu Huai is still very grateful to it. The furry moth raised its claws and transmitted a life-reading technique to Zhu Huai's brain. After doing this, it seemed a little tired, lying flat on the small bed with its wings spread out, motionless.
Zhu Huai was a little worried. Just as he was about to check on Yin Quan, he saw the little moth, with its antennae drooping, suddenly making a buzzing sound similar to that of a deep sleep...
It actually fell asleep in Zhu Huai's brain!
Zhu Huai was silent. He checked the fortune-telling technique that Yin Quan had just given him, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He touched a handful of the furry moth and then retreated. This thing was very useful to him.
This wasn't Zhu Huai's first time reading fortunes; he'd read Bai Qu's fortune before, so he could vaguely sense the dangers involved. The spell Yin Quan had given him was like a clear beacon, allowing him to quickly grasp the key.
His eyes lit up slightly, as if he had found something that he was extremely interested in. He held on to this technique and began to practice it day and night. Until the evening, Zhu Huai was holding two clingy figurines while thinking about the method of watching life. When his stomach growled, he realized that he was hungry.
Zhu Huai was preparing to make something for himself. The two action figures in his arms should be hungry too. It was getting dark, and Zhu Huai suddenly wanted to eat lamb chops. He had to use the freshest lamb meat, stew it with celery and onions, beat out the foam and vegetable residue, and then boil it with the original soup to bring out the aroma. Finally, add the chopped white radish, and cook it until the lamb chops are soft and boneless. The radish is crystal clear and tender, and it melts into the residue when bitten. It tastes fresh, fragrant and sweet, and you can even drink up the soup.
He was about to enter the kitchen when he suddenly had an inexplicable premonition. His fate-reading technique took effect. Zhu Huai raised his head and felt as if a figure was coming towards the Liu family's ancestral home, as if to... keep his appointment?
The visitor had no ill intentions and seemed to be able to get what he wanted during this appointment. Zhu Huai continued to calculate and suddenly let out a light exclamation.
Outside the Liu family's ancestral home, Zhu Yingxue, the Zhu family's deity, arrived as scheduled. He had snow-white hair, a white robe, and a cold aura. He looked less like a worshipped deity and more like a swordsman residing in the mountains.
He came here to look for Zhu Huai not with any other purpose, but because he had a premonition that his love and the method of curing his illness were in the Liu family.
However, Zhu Huai was already Prime Minister Liu's contracted wife, and the Liu family did not have the contracted son she needed. What was going on?
Zhu Yingxue found it very interesting. In fact, he didn't have much feeling for Zhu Huai. Of course, Zhu Huai was very attractive to him. It was an instinctive attraction, just like seeing the sun in the darkness. He always wanted people to look at him a few more times.
But it's just some interest.
If this interest leads to a fight and a confrontation with the Liu family's gods, then forget it! Zhu Yingxue simply wanted Zhu Huai to help heal his wounds, but Liu Xiang was a man of deep thoughts, his possessiveness for his partner so twisted that he wouldn't even let outsiders look at him.
If the adopted wife had not agreed on her own initiative, Prime Minister Liu might have hidden him in the deepest part of the ancestral home, treating him like a treasure, not allowing anyone to see him and not telling him anything.
This is the method used by the gods to treat their partners, but Liu Xiang's method is a bit twisted even in the sacrifice to the gods.
Zhu Yingxue came, but did not see Zhu Huai. Instead, she felt a stir in her heart, realizing that her love had fallen somewhere else.
Outside the Liu family's ancestral home, You Yao, who had luckily escaped the disaster, stayed in the Liu family temporarily after informing his family of his safety.
He was worried that Xu Xiuwen would come to him again.
Many patterns appeared on his body inexplicably, and when Xu Xiuwen was escaping, he was still thinking of taking him away.
Thinking back to those days, You Yao is still a little scared. He doesn't know what happened or who the abbot is. He just feels like he has seen a ghost. Even though he is afraid of ghosts now, he still doesn't dare to leave for the time being and stays in the Liu family in fear.
Because he was contracted by Xu Xiuwen.
However, the contract between them was not as deep as that between Zhu Huai and Liu Xiang. It was only the first stage, a contract that did not yet bind them together by life and death.
But even so, when the master of the contract was dying and was forcibly separated from the other party, You Yao's body was still in great pain. He often woke up in the night, had several nightmares, and then curled up into a ball, tossing and turning in pain because of the inexplicable pain, unable to fall asleep.
After a few days, You Yao lost a lot of weight. No one knew whether Xu Xiuwen would come back to find him. This unlucky guy could only stay in the Liu family temporarily. He had an inexplicable relationship with Liu Mingyue and Liu Tianshan. The three of them were gathered together to play cards.
You Yao said: "Who is that guy? Why do you all look like I'm going to die at any moment?" You Yao was a completely ordinary person. His situation was similar to Zhu Huai's before. They were both inexplicably forced to sign the contract.
You Yao was filled with fear for Xu Xiuwen. The abbot, who always wore a smile on his face, had given him a lingering nightmare. Liu Mingyue played a card: "Your current situation can only be resolved by the Lord of Sacrifice. As long as the contract on you is not removed, you will never be able to live in peace."
"Then... can I ask to see the deity?" You Yao said, "I really can't stand it anymore."
"Wait, wait, it seems that the master of the adopted wife really wants to look for you." Liu Mingyue was a little surprised, but You Yao felt a little nervous. The things like offering sacrifices to gods and offering sacrifices to his wife were too far away for him. However, if it were not for the master of offering sacrifices to his wife, he seemed to have no way to escape. Thinking of this, You Yao felt a little grateful to Zhu Huai.
"Come here, we'll take you there together." Liu Mingyue casually threw the cards on the table. He paused, and in the empty room, a tall figure with snow-white hair suddenly appeared among them. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Liu Mingyue and Liu Tianshan froze in place. You Yao looked at the scene curiously, and he was a little scared.
"What's your name?" a voice suddenly asked. The voice sounded unusually cold and ruthless. You Yao replied tremblingly, "My name is You Yao."
"I was rescued by Master Jiqi." He trembled like a frightened puppy, and suddenly an idea struck him, and he called for help: "You'd better not do anything to me, this is the Liu family!"
He finished his words tremblingly, but heard Zhu Yingxue laugh. "If that's the case, then I'll take you to see him."
