Chapter 178: Too Much Bullying
Bu Ruo pulled Xiao Yulan to the window and looked at the starry sky outside: "Do you know how my master and my master-master met?"
Seeing Xiao Yulan shaking his head, Bu Ruo smiled and began to speak.
"My master is called Tao Ran. He is very powerful. He is the first and only god in the world. He was born a god. He has a unique divine body. As long as he practices, he can achieve the great way."
"Her eccentric personality makes the three realms fear her endlessly, fearing that they will cause harm if they are not careful enough to offend her. You may not know that my master's ideas are endless in several lifetimes. I don't know how she came up with them..."
"Back when Master became a god, there weren't any of those messed-up revelations on the Destiny Stone. My Master was bored in the divine realm, so she secretly went to the human world. In her own words, she'd been so focused on cultivation that she'd bullied others and never experienced the real world. She wanted to go see it and experience the life of an ordinary person."
"But according to Master, she just wanted to go down and see the handsome man."
"You've also seen my master's grandfather. He's as good-looking as you are, and my perverted master took a liking to him at first sight."
"When I was in the human world, my master pestered my master-in-law so relentlessly that he was so scared that he fled everywhere."
"At that time, my master was undergoing tribulations in the human world and was reborn as a scholar. However, because of his striking appearance, he was spotted by a wealthy woman and forced into a bridal sedan chair, nearly becoming her son-in-law. It was my master who appeared in time to save him."
"After this incident, my master's father no longer rejected my master. The two of them went to the capital together to take the imperial examination. However, the rich girl held a grudge and spent a lot of money to hire a killer to kill my master and my master's father."
"My master is a god. When he descended to the mortal world, he had to seal off all his divine powers, leaving only some fist and kick skills. But he still managed to block a knife for my master when he was in danger, and they both fell off a cliff."
"My master is a god and cannot die, but my master's grandfather doesn't know. It was during the time when my master's grandfather was taking care of my master that he fell in love with her."
"When the killer came again, Master-shi got angry..."
"My master said that she just watched as my master-in-law, a frail scholar who was afraid of even bugs, suddenly erupted with an intense golden light, his hair slowly turning white. He then raised the conjured seven-colored sword and killed all the assassins, leaving no one alive. Even their souls were burned to ashes."
"My master recovered his memory ahead of time, but his spirit and soul grew weaker due to his love. At the moment when my master was about to die, it was my master who used his own blood and the divine elixir that took millions of years to form to save him."
"So to be precise, although my master's power has been restored, he is nowhere to be found in the Three Realms. He cannot marry Master, or he will perish again."
"But my master's personality is different from that of ordinary people. She once said that a marriage certificate is useless. Men will change their hearts if they want to. As long as the two of them are together in heart, that's all that matters."
"Oh, I haven't told you yet, my surname is Bu, after my master's name. My master's name is Butian, which means "sky under heaven."
Xiao Yulan looked at Bu Ruo in shock. "You mean, Master is Butian? The Butian who is said to be above the gods, above the three realms, who single-handedly transformed chaos into countless planes and gave life to all people?"
"Yes, that's Bu Tian. He is the god of heaven and earth, and knows everything about the world, but he can't reveal the secrets of heaven, and... can't fall in love."
"In fact, he could have survived by killing my master, but he still chose to die."
"That's why my master knows so much. It was all told to her by my master's grandfather. He said... it's harmless to talk about it secretly. He can't find such a person anyway, so as long as it doesn't affect his ability to stay with my master, it's fine."
"When I was little, I used to lament that a heartless woman like my master could have such good luck to meet a man like my master's grandfather. But my master's grandfather said that they were destined to be together. My master was his death, but also his life. Fortunately, the result was good."
"This is also why my master didn't like us in her previous life. She didn't want us to follow the same path they had taken. My master said... it was too hard."
Xiao Yulan held Bu Ruo in his arms: "Don't worry, we will always be together like your master and your great-grandmaster, forever and ever."
…
Half a month later, when Bu Ruo and his group were about to reach Kyoto, the city gates had already been closed. The former crown prince Xiao Jingrui led 50,000 troops to attack the city for many days but still failed.
In the tent
"What did you say? Tell me again where the War King and the others are now?"
"In... in the town north of Kyoto... which is behind us, the War King sent his subordinate Cen Nan with a message, saying... saying..."
"What did you say!" Xiao Jingrui roared.
"They said they were going into the city..."
Xiao Jingrui was stunned: "Are you sure Cen Nan didn't misunderstand? They... are going into the city? Now?"
The guard lowered his head, not daring to look at him: "Not now, but... tomorrow morning. I heard that Princess Zhan seems to be unwell and wants to go home."
Xiao Jingrui was so angry that he laughed. What time is it now? He is attacking the city, isn’t he? He is trying to seize the throne, isn’t he?
Seeing Xiao Jingrui remained silent, the guard continued, "Cen Nan also said... they've sent a message to the Emperor, asking him to order the city gates to be opened tomorrow morning and for us not to attack then. Otherwise... if his princess gets upset, she might want to change her chair."
Xiao Jingrui: ...
Change the chair, change to the dragon throne.
"Father-in-law, what do you think?"
Prime Minister Lin sat aside with a frown on his face. "I've heard that 100,000 Bu family soldiers, led by Bu Huaicang and his two sons, are already heading towards Kyoto. We currently only have 50,000 soldiers, and the remaining 50,000 are still on the way. We definitely can't confront them head-on now."
"The only solution now is to attack as quickly as possible. Only if you take that position can you legitimately attack the War King. Otherwise... if the War King sends troops now, he will be attacking a traitor. Not to mention the War King's three thousand armored guards, whose whereabouts are unknown."
"If they were outside, I'd be a little worried. But as long as you ascend the throne, those generals who are waiting will submit to you. Wouldn't it be easy to kill them then?"
Xiao Jingrui: It’s not easy. I tried many times but failed to kill it.
"Father-in-law is right. Let them enter the city. I will not stop them."
The guard standing by saw the two men make a decision and continued, "Um... Your Highness, Cen Nan also said... If Your Highness agrees, we should send someone to deliver fresh vegetables and fruits every other day until the city gate is captured."
"Just...just leave it at the city gate. He will...will...send someone to get it."
Snap~
Xiao Jingrui slammed the table fiercely: "This is too much, they are simply too much! Do you really think that I am afraid of them and their husbands?"
