Chapter 293 Token
"That's enough. Let my father recover. He's just been resurrected. Don't upset him too much. I know you're trying to play tricks. Don't take advantage of my favor to become arrogant." Chang Hao warned, squeezing Yuan Shi's hand.
Yuanshi smiled without saying a word, took Chang Hao's hand and gently kissed the back of his hand, "Yes, Your Majesty, I look forward to your favor towards me."
"That's enough, my father is glaring at you again." Chang Hao glanced at Di Jun, his conscience acting up, and quickly pulled his hand back.
Di Jun's eyes were bloodshot with rage. That damned Yuanshi Tianzun dared to lay a hand on his little tenth son on the Sun Star!
Just as Di Jun was about to rush forward, even if he couldn't win, a slender but strong finger pressed on his shoulder, a veiled warning.
"Xihe, don't stop me, I'm determined to..."
"Give Yuanshi a beating?" Xihe said coldly, her voice low. "And then make Xiao Shi feel sorry for Yuanshi? You'll be utterly defeated?"
Di Jun was speechless; what Xi He said made perfect sense.
“The more critical the moment, the calmer you need to be. The angrier you are, the happier Yuanshi will be. Conversely, the calmer you are, the more panicked he should be,” Xihe said incisively.
"So you're just going to stand by and watch?" Di Jun's anger surged within him. "I can't do that."
"Wait," Xihe didn't want to strain the relationship between father and son, "Do you think Xiao Shi will listen to you?"
Di Jun stood frozen in place.
"You should try to win Xiao Shi back first. That's your top priority right now. As for opposing them, put that aside for now, so as not to hurt your loved ones and please your enemies."
Di Jun's mind raced. "That's right," he thought, "Xiao Shi has a rebellious streak. The more you forbid him from doing something, the more he wants to do it."
It would be better if... Di Jun snorted coldly. He would first circle around Xiao Shi, showing concern and care. Xiao Shi would surely mend his father-son relationship with him. By the way, with him by his side, the villain Yuanshi Tianzun would have no way to get in.
The feelings gradually cooled, and the relationship fell apart on its own.
Yuan Shi naturally had no idea who his light gesture had offended. His eyes and mind were only on Chang Hao, who had indirectly acknowledged the feelings between the two. His little scheme vanished, and he only wanted to take the opportunity to get something special from the little ancestor again.
“My little ancestor, you’ve taken away the Sun Essence Wheel, and my only hope is gone. Although you admitted today that we love each other, you said that to your father, not to me,” Yuanshi said, his eyes filled with disappointment, the tiny starlight in them seeming to accuse the person before him of being heartless. “Can you tell me yourself that you love me?”
“Who is in love with you? And how can there be mutual affection?” Chang Hao denied it outright. “I was just trying to anger my father.” However, Yuan Shi could clearly see the shame and anger in his eyes.
"My mother has woken up. I won't say any more to you. I'll leave you here. Take care." Chang Hao turned around and tried to slip away.
“Words are like the wind, I have no proof, it doesn’t matter if you deny it, I heard it with my own ears, and I will remember it forever.” Yuanshi grabbed Chang Hao, not caring about Chang Hao’s embarrassment, “We are already in love, do you have anything to give me?” His intention to ask for proof was obvious, he would give him something and leave, he would not make things difficult for Chang Hao.
Chang Hao's heart softened. He had actually prepared a gift, waiting for Yuanshi to lose his Sun Essence Wheel and become angry so he could coax him. Should he give it to him? To coax him?
Yuanshi immediately noticed the softening in Chang Hao's eyes and was unwilling to give up. "Please have pity on me. With your father and mother around, it will be difficult for me to see you alone in the future. Please leave me with something to look forward to." If he couldn't get the Sun Essence Wheel back, so be it. Getting something else would be good too.
"Alright, stop playing the victim," Chang Hao gestured for Yuanshi to spread his hands.
Yuanshi immediately clasped his hands together, waiting to receive Chang Hao's 'token'. Whatever it was, it put his mind at ease.
"This is the Peace Knot. The pearl in the center is the Sun and Moon Pearl, and it is surrounded by small beads, totaling 365. It can form a small celestial array, symbolizing the sun, moon and stars..." Chang Hao hesitated. Should he really give it to Yuan Shi?
Among the ropes used to weave the peace knot, one was the red thread he had pulled from Nuwa's red embroidered ball—his own red thread…
“It symbolizes you.” Yuanshi quickly replied. As soon as Chang Hao took it out, it immediately appeared in Yuanshi’s hand. He was so eager that he was afraid Chang Hao would change his mind, so he quickly put it away and waited until no one was around to examine it carefully.
"What?" Chang Hao asked, puzzled.
“I understand your intentions. The stars of the heavens revere you. By giving me the peace knot, which symbolizes the sun, moon, and stars, you are essentially giving yourself to me. I understand, you don’t need to say it aloud.” Yuan Shicai didn’t believe that Chang Hao would just casually use something as a substitute for the Sun Essence Wheel.
"Give it back to me, I didn't mean that." Chang Hao's face flushed red, and he immediately turned his back on her. Damn Yuan Shi, did he have to say something so cheesy?
His father and mother are still watching them. If they hear this, what will they think of him? Don't misunderstand him as someone who's obsessed with love.
Yuanshi grasped Chang Hao's fidgeting hand, his voice slightly hoarse, "Don't bother looking, I've already put it away."
Little darling, please don't touch him again. He can't resist the temptation from you right now. He has no self-control at all when it comes to his sweetheart. He's already doing his best to restrain himself from having fantasies.
"Do you think I'm dead?!" Di Jun gritted his teeth and stepped between Yuan Shi and Chang Hao, forcibly separating the two who were 'unable to part'. "Heavenly Venerable, shouldn't you be leaving?"
Chang Hao touched the tip of his nose. He had forgotten that Yuan Shi was no longer the pure Yuan Shi.
"I'm leaving now, Chang Hao. I won't make things difficult for you. Remember to think of me." Yuan Shi reluctantly left the Sun Star, turning back every three steps. Di Jun almost had a stroke from looking at him.
Okay, okay, okay, just you wait.
Xihe pinched Dijun's soft waist and twisted it hard, her smile gentle and loving, "Our little tenth has lost a lot of weight, he must have been very tired these days. Now that your father is back, if there is anything difficult, just tell him to do it. Isn't the father's job to share the burdens of his children?"
"Thank you, Mother." Chang Hao did not refuse Xi He's kindness. He really only used words, while his legs were constantly running around.
Chang Hao couldn't be happier to have another reliable errand runner.
With Xihe's words, Dijun stayed close to Changhao at all times. Seeing that Changhao was dealing with important matters, he immediately approached him and asked, "Is there anything you need help with?"
Di Jun immediately looked around the inner hall of Taiwei Palace, but found no suspicious person. Hmph, with him in Taiwei Palace, Yuanshi will not find an opportunity, right?
"Forget it. Take care of your own affairs first before you talk about helping me." Chang Hao pointed to the memorial that the Purple Star North Pole Emperor had once again sent to Taiwei Palace by the Star Officials. He had time to come to Taiwei Palace to catch his wife cheating, but no time to deal with his own memorial.
Chang Hao was thoroughly annoyed by Di Jun's persistent pestering. How could he have such a clingy father?!
"You didn't stay at Taiwei Palace last night, where did you go?" Di Jun looked Chang Hao up and down, but found no suspicious traces.
