"Greetings, Emperor You, Emperor Xin." After exchanging greetings, the witch stood steadily to one side, her gaze fixed straight ahead.
You walked to the side and gestured for Wu Xian to come over. After exchanging a few words, the two walked back to me.
I didn't hear a word they said. They weren't far apart, so I guess You used a barrier.
"Xin'er, the witch will protect you. Don't be reckless. If things go wrong, run away, and burn talismans as you run," You reminded me again.
"I remember." At that moment, I felt You had become a nagging old woman, like an old mother tirelessly reminding her child before they leave home. This feeling of being worried about is very reassuring.
"Be careful." Yu pulled me close and gently kissed my forehead.
"Then I'll be going." I looked up and met his deep, dark eyes.
"Be careful." You's gentle gaze fell on my face, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
After saying goodbye to You several times, I finally embarked on my journey.
I suspect that the witch next to me had lost all will to live after hearing us say "I'm leaving, go ahead, be careful, I'm setting off, be safe" several times. It's like when you ask your best friend to go out with you, but your best friend is being all lovey-dovey with her boyfriend and doesn't want to leave. You just want to punch each of you and drag your best friend away.
Throughout the journey, the sorcerer never spoke again, but I was very curious about him. He must know many things about You that I didn't.
“Witch Doctor.” I broke the silence first.
"I am here," the witch replied, neither humble nor arrogant.
"I don't know your name yet. Is 'Witch Immortal' your title?"
"I have no name, just call me the Witch Fairy."
The witch's words blocked my path to deepening our relationship, but I'm not going to give up so easily.
"Are you a descendant of the witch clan?"
"yes."
"Then why would you serve the You clan? And even accept a title from the Heavenly Court? The Wu clan isn't..." I didn't finish my sentence.
The witch merely glanced at me coldly, her expression unreadable.
I thought to myself, are all powerful immortals like this? My subordinate Luo is like this, and You's subordinate Wuxian is like this too. They would make a good pair, let's see who is more aloof. I guess if the two of them were together, they could go ten thousand years without saying a word.
However, I'm glad I didn't finish what I was saying, otherwise I would have really killed the conversation. The Wu Clan had a great war with the Heavenly Court back then. At that time, You was still Di Jun and Liu Lieyu was still the Eastern Emperor. The Heavenly Court had just been established not long ago, and I had just been transformed from a human god to a demon god by Liu Lieyu.
That great battle occupies a significant place in my memory, and I remember many details. At that time, the Witch Clan was led by the Twelve Witch Ancestors. It took me and Emperor Dongdi Jun, along with the Heavenly Court, hundreds of years to defeat them. The Twelve Witch Ancestors were scattered and defeated; some died, some were sealed away, and some disappeared without a trace. The Witch Clan suffered heavy losses and vowed to avenge their defeat. For the next ten thousand years, the Witch Clan disappeared without a trace, and there were hardly any Witch Clan members left in the world.
"How long have you been following You?"
The witch remained silent and did not answer.
Looking at the witch's cold expression, I knew that You must have said something excessive before leaving.
I noticed that You and Wuxian were very friendly when they were talking, but they all turned into aloof and mute people when they talked to me.
Hmph, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. I won't ask anymore. I turned my head away and stopped talking.
Whether it was my imagination or not, I seemed to sense a hint of a smile from the witch in the instant I turned my head.
