Chapter 49 Lingzhuzi: Do you think I dare? She...
She told Fu Li that she had the blood of both the dragon and phoenix clans. Although it was not entirely true, it was not a lie.
This is because her biological mother is indeed a dragon girl with the blood of the Phoenix clan.
The ridiculous dragon clan was notorious for being merciful and spreading seeds everywhere, so the new generation of dragons had almost no pure bloodline. But just because her mother had a bit of Phoenix bloodline, it was like a heinous crime, and she was unacceptable to the entire clan.
Her grandmother was from the Phoenix Clan, and her grandfather was from the Dragon Clan. They had consensually married, but when the child was born, neither side was willing to accept it, and they even had a falling out over it.
After her mother was born, her grandmother gave her to her grandfather on the pretext that "the child was from the Dragon Clan." Her grandfather, on the other hand, sent her mother back on the pretext that "the child had the blood of the Phoenix Clan."
A dragon-looking cub certainly couldn't stay in the Phoenix Clan for long. But after less than three days, her mother was stolen and abandoned by her grandmother's tribe. That was a bit too much.
If her mother hadn't been so lucky as to be adopted by an old ape, and hadn't received some favor from the heavens, growing up three or four years older and awakening her inherited talent, she probably wouldn't have met her father, Bai Ze, and she wouldn't have been born.
But all her mother's good luck seemed to have run out when she was young.
Bai Ze is one of the ten saints in the demon clan's heaven. When the demon clan was strong, he enjoyed the benefits brought by the demon clan's fortune; when the demon clan was defeated, he naturally had to bear the backlash of the fortune.
It was already extremely difficult for an ancient mythical beast like Bai Ze to conceive. Bearing the backlash of the demon race's fate made it even more difficult.
Her mother refused to believe in evil, believing that since God had allowed her to get pregnant, she would definitely give the child a chance to survive. So, despite Bai Ze's dissuasion, she insisted on giving birth to her.
The result is obviously tragic. Tong's birthday is the day her mother suffered.
The mother struggled for seven days and seven nights to give birth to her, but her life was sacrificed. She only had time to tell Bai Ze to take good care of their daughter before she died.
As a fish that escaped the law of nature, she has had a miserable life since childhood and has been constantly attacked by the cold.
Originally, she was born with a defect, and hadn't had time to evolve into a male or female. According to the primitive era's worship of strength, when her body fully developed, she would be more likely to choose a male body, which is naturally stronger.
But men are yang and women are yin.
If she chose to show herself as a man, her constitution would conflict with the extremely cold and yin energy that had been tormenting her for years, making her situation even worse.
So, when she grew to be five hundred years old and her body was barely fully developed, Bai Ze helped her to completely transform into a female body.
After making the choice, the situation was much better than before, but there were still two hours around midnight every day when the cold air penetrated the body and a layer of ice formed all over the body.
But last night, there was an exception to the usual situation.
What exactly is the problem?
Was it Fuli's bracelet that trapped all her magical powers? Or was it Fuli herself?
Tong will never leave Fu Li until this matter is clarified.
But these humans are really annoying. They are clearly like ants, but they always try to get close to immortals.
The moment Fu Li was surrounded by the group of children and ran away, Tong could hardly suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
If she hadn't known that Fu Li definitely wouldn't like her touching those little brats, and if she hadn't been unsure whether Fu Li had any other powerful magic weapons...
She looked at the group of little ones with cold eyes, watching them frolicking in the golden sunshine. They were clearly the most ordinary lives in the prehistoric world, yet they seemed to have merged into one with the warmest sunshine.
Tong has lived under the protection of her father Bai Ze since she was a child, and most of the information she has been exposed to comes from Bai Ze.
As a mythical beast that has survived from ancient times and was once a high-ranking member of the demon clan, how could Bai Ze possibly look down on the human race?
The human race that Bai Ze mentioned was nothing more than a small race that relied on the protection of the two races, the witches and the lich, barely surviving in the prehistoric world. For a long time, because of the existence of souls, the human race was even considered a branch of the demon race.
Later, he was lucky enough to be valued by the Heavenly Dao, and took advantage of the loopholes of the two tribes of Lich and Warlock, which led to his current status.
Tong used to believe it without a doubt, but Fu Li's attitude towards these mortals made her begin to waver in her previous belief.
It’s just because she doesn’t believe that a person like Fu Li would really like an ordinary mortal?
No, there must be something extraordinary about these mortals, but she just hasn't discovered it yet.
Well, one more reason to stay.
=====
"Sister, I'll give you this flower."
Tong suddenly came back to her senses, and her vision was blocked by a colorful wreath.
She turned her head slightly and saw the owner of the voice - three-year-old He Qing, who was looking at her with a smile, two shallow dimples on his cheeks.
"...Thank you." She has always been eloquent and quick-witted, but her reaction this time was surprisingly slow.
He Qing smiled even sweeter and suggested, "Sister, squat down and let me put it on for you, okay?"
Tong looked at her, then looked at the wreath in her hand, and squatted down silently.
The little girl stood on tiptoe, lifted the wreath and solemnly placed it on her head, and adjusted the position so that the side with the most flowers was placed in front.
After putting it on, the little girl took two steps back to examine it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It looks really good!"
Tong teased her with a smile: "Which is prettier, the flower or me?"
He Qing tilted her head and looked at them for a moment, her chubby face full of seriousness. She said seriously, "They all look good."
"Hahahahahaha..." Tong couldn't help but burst into laughter, half of it was because she was really happy, and the other half was to cover up the helplessness brought by the strange feeling.
The tribe's hunting operation lasted for three days. It was not because they did not want to hunt more prey, but the beasts were not stupid. After being chased by them for three consecutive days, they had already run away in groups to other places.
These three days were enough time for the floodwaters in their tribal territory to recede. If the weather was good, the mud on the ground would have hardened and would not be so hard to sink into.
Fu Li also received a jade slip from Ling Zhuzi, telling her that he would come to see her in three days.
Upon hearing this news, Fu Li was cheered up and immediately sent a letter to tell Ling Zhuzi that he was not in Emei, but settled in a tribe in the southwest of Qingcheng Mountain.
There was no need to elaborate on which one it was; the two of them were connected by a summoning card. As long as Fu Li sent a call, Ling Zhuzi would immediately sense it and quickly find her.
=====
Ge commanded everyone to gather all the things together, reminded them again to close their eyes, and asked the adults to cover the children's eyes tightly. Then he asked Fu Li to use the escape technique to bring back the entire tribe.
Their original homes had been washed away, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. Many people couldn't help but sob softly when they saw the devastation.
Ge was also very sad, but she was the leader of the tribe, and especially at times like this, she should not be swayed by emotions.
She stood up and told everyone not to be sad yet, but to work together to rebuild their homes.
With Ge's encouragement and call, everyone put aside their sadness for the time being. Some were cutting wood, some were picking up stones, and they prepared to rebuild their houses.
Fu Li watched for a long time until he saw the people picking up stones using slightly regular stones to build houses. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Everyone, stop for a moment. The house you're building is not solid. It will collapse soon."
She had already gained some prestige in the tribe. When the people nearby heard her words, they stopped what they were doing and looked at her in confusion.
Fu Li didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Is there any clay nearby?"
That's right, she wants to lead everyone to make bricks.
Of course there was clay, and the people in the tribe took her to find the clay. She taught everyone how to build a clay kiln and burn large blue bricks.
The stones of roughly regular shapes that they had found earlier were buried underground as foundations to increase the stability of the house.
As the first kiln of green bricks emerged, Fu Li felt a sense of daze: Wasn't this the prehistoric world I had traveled to? Shouldn't my main mission be to cultivate diligently, guide my sect safely through the Conferred God Tribulation, and achieve divine status and roam the world freely?
Why is it either firing porcelain or firing bricks?
If the former can barely be related to art, the latter is definitely a job for a civil engineer.
Looking back on her past life, my sister regretted having chosen a major that was a dead end. When she was admitted to university and chose her major, she chose it carefully, asked around, and tried her best to avoid all the dead ends.
I never expected that after traveling through time, I still couldn’t escape and fell into the big pit of civil engineering.
Just as she was in a trance, she suddenly heard a familiar voice asking, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?"
Fu Li's eyes lit up, and she rushed over faster than she could think, throwing herself into his arms. She asked in a tender voice, "Lingzhuzi, how did you know I was here?"
Lingzhuzi said proudly: "The hermit has a clever plan!"
Fu Li smiled and patted his chest. She then walked him over to the earthen kiln, pointed at the entrance, and said, "You've come just in time. When it comes to firing a kiln, who in the world is more proficient than you?"
Ling Zhuzi glanced at her with disdain and said dissatisfiedly, "I just got here and you're telling me to do things?"
Fu Li asked with a smile, "Then are you going to do it?"
Lingzhuzi: "...Fuck."
——How dare I not do it?
Ge was moving bricks with his tribesmen when he was suddenly poked in the waist. He turned around in confusion and saw the eldest sister who had poked him, smiling like an aunt and winking at him.
She looked over and saw Fu Li hugging a handsome young man. The atmosphere between them was so sticky that it made her feel sick at the sight of them.
She quickly stood up, brushed off the dust on her body, went to the water source to wash her hands and face, and then walked forward to say hello.
"Is this Fuli girl's lover? He looks so energetic!"
The corners of Lingzhuzi's mouth curled up wildly, and his attitude was extremely friendly. He bowed and said, "I think this must be Chief Ge. I am Lingzhuzi, the Taoist companion of Fuli."
Ge quickly imitated his gestures and returned the greeting, telling him not to be so reserved and that being here felt like being at home.
Lingzhuzi knew that Fu Li might stay here for a long time, so he didn't hesitate and thanked her directly.
After exchanging greetings, Ge took his leave very politely.
The young couple hadn't seen each other for a long time. As the leader, it was her responsibility to come and recognize them. There was no need to disturb their time together.
But not everyone is as discerning as she is.
Yes, I’m talking about you, Tong.
