"That person? Who is she? And who does she want us to avoid?"
Heng'e shook her head with her eyes closed: "You'll know who that is when you see him. As for the person you should avoid... it's the Crown Prince."
The goddess was genuinely stunned for a moment.
Why avoid the Crown Prince?
She held onto this doubt until she saw the man's figure in the Land of Chasing Deer, and she almost jumped up in surprise.
"Ah Tong!!!"
The winter wind is as cold as a knife, stinging one's face, mixed with a few drifting snowflakes. The sun in the sky also seems listless, its light dim and unable to bring much warmth.
Yi waited anxiously to the side, glancing back every now and then.
The three women over there had just finished hugging the little boy and crying their hearts out. They were still wiping each other's tears and muttering things like, "It's good that you're alive," "It's okay that you're not healthy, you'll grow back eventually," and "We all miss you so much."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, Heng'e, and Xihe are all famous beauties of the demon race, powerful, intelligent, and stunningly beautiful. In comparison, that little bean sprout who was crying loudly with his head held high, whose chubby face trembled with a single poke, and whose short, chubby legs were probably not even as tall as his when he stood on tiptoe.
It seems even more...
It makes my teeth hurt.
Yi thought about how he usually used this red bow to conquer all directions and kill thousands of people, and felt inexplicably guilty and ashamed.
Even among the witch tribe, the exploitation of child labor is a highly shameful practice.
but……
He maintained his indifferent and serious demeanor, but his gaze secretly drifted towards the particularly slender girl among the four figures.
she……
She's really good-looking.
"Sister Heng'e has lost weight again," Tong Su said, forcing a smile while holding back her tears, "but she's still the most beautiful!"
Heng'e laughed while wiping away her tears: "Are your lips coated with honey? They're so sweet."
“It’s more than just being sweetened; she’s always been the most obedient,” Xihe hugged Tongsu. “Don’t be afraid, Tongsu. Goddess Nuwa is preparing to mend the sky with stones. Take good care of yourself; we’re all fine!”
Xuan Nu nodded repeatedly: "The Heavenly Court was not harmed either, don't worry. Don't cry, your tears have soaked my clothes!"
Tongsu reached out and wiped her cheek, then raised her hand; her chubby little palm was wet.
“These are your own tears, don’t cry. I’m fine, it’s okay. Look, my injuries have all healed! I’m very safe in the Witch Clan. The Ancestral Witches are not often seen, and no one is causing me any trouble. Don’t worry.”
No one's causing trouble? Has she forgotten that her mind has been sealed by Dijiang all along? Or is it...?
Yi raised his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
She wanted to report only good news and not bad news, so let her not report it. After all, it was just a family matter and had nothing to do with him.
However, we made time to meet today despite being so busy, so we must not let this opportunity go to waste!
He couldn't help but interrupt their mutual comforting and said in a deep voice, "Let's get down to business!"
Tong Su turned around, her chubby face tense: "Please excuse us for a moment, we have something to say in private."
Yi stared at them for a moment, then left without saying a word.
Seeing that the Wu tribe had left, Xuan Nu quickly grabbed Tong Su's hand, about to ask her why she didn't want to see the Crown Prince. Did she not miss him? But Tong Su spoke urgently to Xi He first: "How is he?"
He paused for a moment and said, "I want to hear the truth. Don't try to fool me with nice words."
"...I knew you would do this."
Xihe closed her eyes.
"He's in bad shape. The injuries from the Dao Ancestor's punishment haven't healed yet. He wanted to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible, but he couldn't overcome the inner demon. He forced a breakthrough and suffered even more serious injuries. Now he doesn't even have the strength to get out of Tanggu."
