Chapter 188 Chang'e Flying to the Moon
Tongtian's eyes lit up, and he blurted out praise without hesitation, "That's right, look at this phoenix's bright and intelligent eyes, its body radiant with color, its outstanding origins, its cleverness and quick wit, it must be exceptionally gifted..."
"Alright, that's enough, it's going to be inappropriate." Yuanshi glanced at Tongtian with a half-smile. Don't think he didn't know what Tongtian was thinking; this was just this one, the others...
Yuanshi glanced at the other three, then his gaze returned to the one in the nest. This one looked the best to him.
Seeing that he couldn't show favoritism, Tongtian conjured up a comb and groomed the three neglected furballs.
Huanglong returned with his head bowed and eyes lowered. Yuanshi spared a sliver of attention, asking, "Where is your Venerable One?"
"Reporting to Master, His Excellency has had Uncle Yaochi escort him away." Huanglong had been reprimanded, his frivolity gone, leaving him only with docility.
"Alright, Chang Hao isn't a cub, does he need to be kept under constant watch? Second brother, just sit still. Let me tell you, a cub is only the cutest when it's young. If you don't take advantage of this time to groom it, once it grows into a behemoth, you won't be able to groom it even if you want to." Tongtian held the adorable Kunwu and promoted it to Yuanshi.
So, is that your reason for picking one up and losing one?
Huanglong, with his eyes focused on his nose and his nose on his heart, said, "Nonsense, the cubs are cute, and it's quite an achievement for my uncle to have found so many cubs."
Tongtian held Kunwu in his hands, liking it more and more as he looked at it. Suddenly, he pointed to Kunwu's downy feathers and said to Yuanshi, "These downy feathers are even more dazzling in the light. I wonder what a real golden crow cub looks like. What a pity."
Yuanshi paused slightly as he combed the fur, then lowered his eyes to look at the little golden crow in its nest with an ambiguous expression. He then placed the crow in his palm, mimicking Tongtian's gesture, and compared it to Tongtian's palm.
They discovered that although the fur of the dog in Tongtian's hand was golden, it did not actually glow, while the fur of the dog in his hand occasionally and unconsciously shone.
Chang Hao, who had infiltrated Xiao Shi's body, thought to himself how close he had come to disaster. Fortunately, he had managed to sneak in in time and change Xiao Shi's seal, which made it stand out from the crowd.
He rolled over, letting himself comfortably bask in the sunlight. His lazy, drowsy appearance made Tongtian envious. "Second Brother, put it in my palm." The one in Second Brother's hand seemed to be shining a little. Was it because of his cultivation level?
It seems I need to supervise their cultivation properly so that I can have some golden dumplings to pick up.
Scratching Yuanshi's palm, Chang Hao buried his head in it, turning into a round, chubby dumpling, rolling around in Yuanshi's hand.
A smile unconsciously appeared on Yuanshi's face. He glanced at Tongtian, but he didn't want to give it to him. "You already have your own." Why should he covet the one in Tongtian's hand?
Tongtian pointed at the Kunwu in his palm, "You roll it up too." How come I never knew you could play like this? It's so cute.
Kunwu simply lay it flat; he didn't want to move.
“Get up,” Tongtian gently pushed with his fingertip, “You’re too lazy.”
In the end, Jinling gave Tongtian some face and rolled around in Tongtian's palm a few times, but unfortunately, she didn't control it very well and almost rolled to the ground.
Tongtian caught Jinling, and just as he was about to let go and continue, the world went dark.
Chang Hao was taken aback, craning his neck to look at the sky. What were Di Jun and the others up to?
The sun had disappeared from the sky, and the moon's light had been completely withdrawn. The bright moonlight was concentrated within the moon and did not spill over into the vast wilderness, making the bright moon in the sky appear even more radiant.
"Second Brother, what is the Demon Court trying to do?" Tongtian noticed that this was quite a large-scale operation.
"Just watch quietly." Yuanshi raised his hand and gently stroked the small golden crow in his hand, which was tense all over, while also paying attention to the development of the situation.
A beam of light shone down from the moon, illuminating a woman in a snow-white dress with a graceful and elegant demeanor. Guided by the moonlight, the woman's shackles were released, emitting a soft white glow. Her body became light and graceful, and she rose from the ground, drifting towards the moon.
"Chang'e, Ben, Yue," four words popped into Chang Hao's mind. With Chang Hao's eyesight, he immediately recognized the snow-clad woman bathed in moonlight in mid-air. Wasn't that Chang Xi?
Chang Hao immediately realized that this was a conspiracy against Hou Yi, and a sense of unease arose in his heart. Killing Hou Yi was a small matter, but the consequences would be much bigger.
It seems the demon race was about to wage a full-scale war against the witch race, which is why Xihe couldn't help but take action.
"Chang'e..." Inside the Wu tribe, Hou Yi, the hero who shot down the sun, saw that his human lover Chang'e had eaten the elixir he had obtained from the Queen Mother of the West and was uncontrollably drifting towards the Taiyin star. This was unacceptable.
The demon race was his mortal enemy. Once they found out that Chang'e was his wife, would Chang'e still be alive?
Hou Yi was extremely anxious and disregarded his own safety to chase after Chang'e. If the demons discovered him, he would surely die. He had to rescue Chang'e before the demons found out.
In mid-air, only the Moon Star and the beautiful and graceful Moon Goddess stood out. Chang'e looked back and saw that Hou Yi had indeed followed her away from the heart of the Wu tribe. Only then did she feel at ease and continue flying towards the Moon Star.
Hou Yi, preoccupied with worry for Chang'e, did not notice that Chang'e was flying faster and faster, carrying him away from the Wu tribe. The cries of his tribesmen calling for him to stop were intercepted by the ambushing demons and never reached Hou Yi's ears.
When Hou Yi stood on the vast and desolate Taiyin Star, he saw that the cold Taiyin Star was empty, with only Chang'e standing with her back to him.
Chang'e turned to look at Hou Yi, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes, "Hou Yi, you actually came to the moon with me."
"Chang'e, come with me quickly, it's dangerous here." Hou Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully they didn't encounter any demons.
"Okay..." Chang'e walked towards Hou Yi with a smile.
As usual, Hou Yi reached out and pulled Chang'e back into his arms. Just as he was about to leave Taiyin Star, Chang'e suddenly attacked, wielding two swords from the left and right sides, diagonally upwards from Hou Yi's waist and piercing his vital organs.
"Uh..." Hou Yi looked down in disbelief at the twin swords, the sun and moon, that had pierced his heart through his weak point. "Chang'e...why?"
Chang'e drew the Sun and Moon Swords with a twist of her wrist, then flew away from Hou Yi's attack range, spraying out witch blood that stained the desolate land red.
Suddenly, a white ribbon appeared from within the laurel tree and wrapped around Hou Yi's hands and feet. Softness can overcome hardness. Hou Yi frowned as he struggled against the supple ribbon. The feeling of having nowhere to exert his strength was infuriating, and the wounds were even piercing his heart. Hou Yi was already at his last gasp.
"Why do you say that?" Chang Xi appeared silently, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "You dare to hurt my nephew? Death is too good for you. I will grind you to dust."
The two identical faces made Hou Yi's eyes widen. "You two... Chang'e..."
It turns out that Chang'e was not human. Her crying to him about how humans age easily and how she longed for immortality was all a lie; it was just a way to lure him away from the witch clan.
Changxi retrieved Chang'e back into his body. "Ah, haven't you heard of a benevolent corpse?"
Xihe retrieved her twin swords, the Sun and the Moon, saying, "How dare you shoot my son with an arrow? I will not allow you to survive even one day."
Before the war with the Wu tribe, Hou Yi was a thorn in Xi He's side; she couldn't die in peace until he was removed.
Hou Yi was heartbroken and gave up resisting. Chang'e... if he had known this would happen, would he still have shot down the sun?
There are no "what ifs." Hou Yi knew that if he hadn't shot down the suns, Chang'e would never have appeared.
That's fine, that's fine...
