Chapter 102: Cang Li sees ten golden crows...
After seeing the ten golden crows, Cang Li planned to remind Xi He that the child was innocent and that she could not kill someone's child for no reason because of something that was going to happen but had not yet happened.
However, this does not mean that Cang Li will let things develop unchecked.
"Lady Xihe, I came here intending to nip the trouble in the bud."
Xihe suddenly looked at Cangli: "What do you mean!"
Cang Li pointed to the golden crows on the Fusang tree and said, "It means that in order to avoid the occurrence of ten suns appearing at the same time, I want to kill you and give you a son. One sun is enough for this land."
Xihe's eyes immediately turned red, and she glared angrily at Cangli:
"What right do you have to do this?! Those ten of them have been obediently staying in Tanggu every day. They've taken turns guarding the Sun Star since they were born and have never gone out to play. It's not their fault that they might cause harm to the Primordial World. You can't take their lives just because of something that hasn't even happened yet!"
Cang Li nodded after listening:
"Yes, you're right, that's why I didn't take any action after I arrived, but instead told you about this."
Xihe quickly calmed down. She had also come from the early primordial era, and if it weren't for the fact that it concerned her children, Xihe's expression wouldn't have changed at all.
"Okay, so what do you want to do? As long as my child's life can be saved, I will cooperate fully."
Regardless of whether the event of ten days appearing simultaneously will occur, Xihe dares not gamble, fearing that the consequence of this gamble would be the permanent loss of her child.
Therefore, Xihe chose to trust Cangli. She and Cangli were not particularly familiar with each other, but Cangli was willing to help even an unreasonable race like the Wu tribe, let alone her child who had never done anything wrong.
Cang Li smiled and said, "You're smarter than others."
What is the nemesis of the Golden Crow clan?
Cang Li had thought it through. The Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow must be the nemesis of the Golden Crows to cause the nine Golden Crows to fall into the sea and die. Naturally, the Golden Crow clan knew best what the nemesis of the Golden Crows was.
Xihe frowned: "Why are you asking this? I can't tell you."
Since it concerns the safety of the Golden Crow, Xihe certainly wouldn't tell Cangli.
Cang Li looked at Xi He and said, "Because if all ten suns appear at the same time, I will shoot down the sun. I cannot allow my people to be scorched to death by the sun."
Xihe's eyes widened: "Weren't you discussing with me how to prevent this from happening?!"
Why did you say such heartless words in the blink of an eye?
Cang Li lowered his eyes: "What if we can't prevent it? After they all come out together in ten days, will I have to watch them burn everything in the world to death?"
"Can your ten children bear this debt?"
Xihe was speechless. He couldn't bear the burden. Killing and plundering were the laws of survival in the primordial world, but slaughtering living beings without cause was something even a demon ancestor like Rahu couldn't bear.
However, Xihe was unwilling to entrust her child's life to someone else.
Cang Li tilted her head: "You don't want to tell me? Hmm, that's understandable, it's a mother's...nature?"
Xihe told Cangli, "Yes, but I won't tell you about this. From now on, I will stay by their side every step of the way. I will not leave here until they have mastered the art of controlling the Sun God Fire."
As long as we keep an eye on Little Golden Crow, that kind of thing won't happen, Xihe said with a determined look in her eyes.
Cang Li stared intently at Xi He for a long time before speaking:
"Then you'd better stay by their side at all times. I don't want to see all ten of them out there at the same time."
Xihe simply looked at her ten children with gentle eyes; she would take good care of them.
Cang Li looked around Tang Valley. There were no other plants in Tang Valley except for the Fusang tree. Would he use the branches of the Fusang tree to make arrows?
The Fusang tree was very large, otherwise it wouldn't be enough for ten golden crows to roost in. There were many branches on the ground that had fallen from the branches where the golden crows were playing. Cang Li picked one up and knew at a glance that it wasn't the right one. The Fusang tree would only benefit the golden crows' cultivation.
Cang Li sighed and said to Xi He, "If you've thought it through and are willing to tell me, send someone to the human race to deliver a message to me. Let me say it one last time: I don't want to see them both out there at the same time."
Xihe's attitude towards Cangli also changed, and she coldly turned her face away: "Don't worry, goodbye."
Cang Li flew away from Tanggu. Tanggu didn't have what she was looking for. Maybe the thing was on Sun Star. She had never been to Sun Star, but she knew that Sun Star was not easy to get to.
Only the Golden Crow clan can freely enter and leave the Sun Star. Others with lower cultivation levels would be burned to ashes before they even get close. Cang Li's cultivation level is also insufficient to support her staying on the Sun Star for long, so going to the Sun Star to find something is definitely not feasible.
Cang Li sighed, pondering how to find someone to help. As soon as the thought crossed his mind, the first person Cang Li thought of was Taiqing. Taiqing was a sage, and he must have a way to get to the Sun Star.
Thinking of this, Cang Li decided to head to Kunlun Mountain first. Just as he left Tang Valley, he encountered a beautiful fairy with towering cloud-like hair and a cool, aloof demeanor. The woman stopped and nodded slightly upon seeing Cang Li.
"Fellow Daoist Cang Li."
Cang Li looked over in confusion. She didn't remember seeing this fairy before. She was so beautiful that she would never forget her if she had seen her before.
Chang Xi landed in front of Cang Li and said:
"I am Chang Xi, the Lord of the Taiyin Star. Fellow Daoist Cang Li has never seen me before."
The aloof beauty, Cang Li, approached her with a very friendly attitude:
"So you are the Lord of the Moon! I've long admired your name!"
My goodness, isn't this the original version of Chang'e? She's so beautiful!
Cang Li looked at Chang Xi with sparkling eyes; she just loved beautiful women!
Chang Xi nodded, her face expressionless, and said to Cang Li:
"Come visit Taiyin Star when you have some free time."
After saying that, she headed towards Tanggu, leaving Cang Li completely bewildered. It was the first time she had met Chang Xi, so why was she being invited to Taiyin Star? She wasn't even familiar with Chang Xi.
But Chang Xi had already gone far away. Cang Li shook her head, took a couple of steps and suddenly remembered something. It seemed that someone had told her about the ten spirit arrows nurtured by the Sun Star.
Cang Li's spirits lifted. Yes, it was that bet she made with Donghuang Taiyi. Donghuang Taiyi said that if she won, he would give her the ten spirit arrows nurtured by the Sun Star.
Cang Li quickly became frustrated again; she had lost.
However, it's also good news. At least she's not running around like a headless fly anymore. These ten arrows are definitely related to the Sun-Shooting Arrow, and maybe they are the Sun-Shooting Arrow.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, she definitely has to make a trip to the Sun Star.
Cang Li went to the Demon Court under the cover of night. To get to the Sun Star, she would definitely have to find Donghuang Taiyi or Dijun. She had no connection with Dijun, so she had to find Donghuang Taiyi.
Upon arriving at the Demon Court, Cangli hesitated again. Her purpose in taking the spirit arrow was to shoot down the Golden Crow, but now she felt it was a bit perverse to go to Donghuang Taiyi to go to the Sun Star.
Cang Li stopped, somewhat embarrassed. Donghuang Taiyi was a very good friend who would never hurt someone behind their back. What she was doing was practically betraying her friend. Cang Li sighed and simply headed towards the Nuwa Palace.
When I arrived, Fuxi was also there. Cangli hadn't seen Fuxi in a long time. It was said that Fuxi was using the Hetu and Luoshu to help Dijun practice the Star Array.
Fuxi was playing chess with Nuwa when Cangli walked behind Nuwa to watch them play. He waited until they finished a round before greeting her.
"Mom, Uncle."
Fuxi nodded kindly to Cang Li: "Why are you here today? Your mother just said you didn't want to come to the Demon Court."
Cang Li immediately hugged Nuwa's neck and said, "No way~ I'm here now, Mom, you're complaining to Uncle!"
Nuwa snorted and pushed Cang Li away: "If you want to come, why don't you come back and live with me? Every time you come, you run away after a short while, as if there are wild beasts chasing you here."
Cang Li sat down next to Nuwa and said, "Mom, I'm just busy. Don't worry, I'll definitely travel with you everywhere once I'm done!"
Nuwa shook her head with amusement: "Tell me, what brings you here this time? Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me the truth."
Cang Li swallowed back the words "I miss you" and honestly said:
"I've come to ask Fellow Daoist Taiyi to do something that's putting him in a difficult position."
Nuwa was speechless: "You're asking others for help when you're in a difficult situation? You disagreed with everything I said last time, and now you're asking others to do something so difficult. What do you think you are..."
Cang Li lowered his head and said, "Then there's nothing I can do. I want to go to the Sun Star, so I can only ask Fellow Daoist Taiyi for help, but this matter is indeed very difficult, so I'm too embarrassed to ask him."
Going to the Sun Star isn't difficult; the difficulty lies in what she needs to retrieve from the Sun Star—to kill Donghuang Taiyi's nine nephews.
She felt ashamed to talk about it, so Cang Li was hesitant to approach Donghuang Taiyi. If she did, she would lose her friendship with him.
Nuwa: "I thought you had changed your mind and were willing to marry into the demon race, but it turns out you just wanted to go play on the Sun Star. Is this some big deal? Come on, I'll take you to find Taiyi and have him take you to the Sun Star. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Nuwa then prepared to take Cangli to find Donghuang Taiyi.
Cang Li hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Mom, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll go find him myself when I've made up my mind."
Fuxi grabbed Nuwa's wrist: "Sister, sit down. Don't worry about them. Cangli is old enough to make his own decisions."
Cang Li looked at Nuwa expectantly and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, she can do it herself."
Fuxi looked at Cangli with a gentle expression and said:
“Some things are bound to happen. As long as you don’t regret the decisions you’ve made, that’s fine. No matter what, my sister and I will always be here. You can come to Nuwa Palace anytime.”
Cang Li paused for a moment, then whispered, "Then can you live in seclusion in the Nuwa Palace from now on?"
Fuxi paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "No, I also have things to do. I don't regret what I do, so I won't give up halfway."
Cang Li opened his mouth: "What if you die?"
Fuxi raised an eyebrow: "It seems that my great-niece has received the will of Heaven after she severed her good corpse."
Cang Li remained silent, which was a form of tacit agreement.
Nuwa gently patted Cangli's head and said, "Don't worry about us. How old are you? You've lived for less than a fraction of my and your uncle's lifespan. Why would we need a little kid like you to worry about us? Just take care of yourself and do what you want to do. Don't worry about anything else. Your mother is a saint. I'll take care of even the biggest problems."
"Mom, aren't you worried? What if a decision you make has serious consequences? Of course, it could also have a good ending."
Nuwa smiled and said, "You're so hesitant and indecisive, unlike my fearless baby. If I were to worry about this and that, I wouldn't have a place as a sage."
Cang Li curled his lip and mercilessly exposed Nuwa: "Then why didn't you want to create humans back then? You thought taking care of children was too much trouble, so you just left me there and went to sleep. I even bumped my head and almost died."
Nuwa gave Cangli a good-natured tap on the head: "I'm trying to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, and you bring up old grudges! You brat! Get out of here, go do your own thing and don't bother me!"
Cang Li chuckled, covering his head, and ran out of the Nuwa Palace, saying, "Mom, I'll come see you again next time!"
