912 You May Hurt Your Balls If You Take Big Steps!

The silence was broken the moment Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes.

Boom!

A lightning bolt struck through the sky. It was a silvery-white lightning bolt that lit up the entire sky with its eye-catching radiance.

"Hmm? Is it going to rain?"

"Why did the lighting suddenly strike?"

"…"

A few of the villagers who had yet to fall asleep opened their eyes and pushed open the windows after hearing the sound of the thunder.

However, after opening their windows, they realized that the sky was still dark and the stars were still shining. A storm did not look imminent at all.

"Could it be that we've heard wrongly?"

"There's thunder and lightning but no rain, what a weird weather!"

"It is becoming hotter…"

The villagers had hoped for rain due to hot weather. However, evidently, they were disappointed because it did not rain.

However, in Fang Zhengzhi's house, Fang Zhengzhi had completely opened his eyes. There was a Rebirth Plate that was spinning in his eyes. Blue, Green, Red, Black, the four colors appeared on the Rebirth Plate.

The Four Rebirth Daos — Heaven Dao, Near-Life Dao, Asura Dao and Hell Asura!

At the instant when the Four Rebirth Daos appeared, a beam of silvery-white radiance appeared at the window of the courtyard and shone right into Fang Zhengzhi's eyes.

It was like the return of the dragon!

Buzz! The sky and earth shook.

There was an addition of a silvery-white symbol in the Rebirth Plate in Fang Zhengzhi's eyes. It was an extremely complicated symbol that consisted of moving cloud patterns.

"This is… my house?" Fang Zhengzhi looked around at the familiar furniture in his room and the Rebirth Plate in his eyes vanished.

Meanwhile, at this moment, he heard a breathing sound beside his ear, accompanied by a voice of annoyance.

"Who is it? How dare you knock the door and disturb my rest… I will kill you with my Sabre!"

"…" Fang Zhengzhi was stunned. He looked at the figure that crouched beside his bed and the long waterfall-like hair on the shoulders, he felt slightly cold between his legs.

He was about to wake Wu Yuer up with his hands but decided not to. Then, he turned his palms around and an azure blue radiance accumulated in his palms.

Then, Wu Yuer appeared on the bed whereas Fang Zhengzhi was no longer on the bed.

Heavenly Rebirth State, Shifting Forms.

He gently placed the blanket over Wu Yuer and walked out of the house slowly to the courtyard.

It was late.

The serene Northern Mountain Village made Fang Zhengzhi stretch involuntarily and twist his bottoms before he found a spot to sit down.

The ancient saying went, 'an impossible dream'.

Fang Zhengzhi was not aware of how long he had slept for, but he was certain that it was a long time.

With a majestic and explosive inner power, Fang Zhengzhi's focus changed and a vast ocean with five different colors appeared in front of him.

That was his Small Dimension.

In his Small Dimension, the sea had turned into a vast ocean. In the skies above the vast ocean, there was still a golden fruit floating in the center of the penta-coloured wonder flower.

"Zheng'er, did Zheng'er wake up?" Just as Fang Zhengzhi was about to conduct a closer inspection, a tiny voice was heard from the room.

Then, a figure who had a cloth shirt over her shoulders appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi. She had a face of languish and the wrinkles on her face were the marks of old age.

It looks gentle but it also showed an exceptional inner strength.

"Mom!" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes welled up with tears.

"It's Zheng'er, Zheng'er, you are really awake?! Is Mom dreaming… My Zheng'er, you are finally awake, you had slept for one month!"

"Mom, you are not dreaming, your Zheng'er is really awake." Fang Zhengzhi hugged Qin Xuelian as he spoke.

The unsteadiness in Fang Zhengzhi's body suddenly calmed down as he felt the warmth from Qin Xuelian's hug. It was as though a peaceful island appeared in the middle of the vast ocean.

"Zheng'er, my Zheng'er, this is great, this is great, my Zheng'er is awake…" Qin Xuelian's eyes welled up in tears too. After a while, Qin Xuelian seemed to have remembered something. "Zheng'er, you must be hungry. Mom will go and make some food for you? Wait for me, you must be hungry after this long sleep…"

Qin Xuelian did not wait for Fang Zhengzhi to reply and dashed into the kitchen straightaway with an extremely delighted expression on her pale face.

"Hmm, I'm hungry, Mom." Fang Zhengzhi did not stop her. He was certain that if Qin Xuelian could discover that he was awake at this timing, it meant that she did not sleep at all.

To Qin Xuelian, the greatest joy was none other than being able to prepare food for Fang Zhengzhi immediately after he woke up.

Therefore, how could Fang Zhengzhi stop her?

"Mom, I want to eat egg noodles, with two eggs please!" Fang Zhengzhi spoke as he looked at his Mom who was busy preparing in the kitchen.

"Okay okay okay, Mom will prepare it for you right away. Zhengzhi, you have fainted for an entire month, how are two eggs enough? The family is doing well now, we have dozens of Fire Plume Chickens in the mountain behind, and the villagers had given us many of your favorite food recently…" Qin Xuelian spoke as she washed the pot.

…

When the first beam of sunlight shone in the morning, Wu Yuer woke up from her dreams and slowly opened her eyes. Her black hair was slightly messy and she looked blur.

However, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and began rubbing her eyes as she looked at the figure beside the bed.

Wu Yuer's vision blurred instantly.

"Shameless brat, you are awake?! You really woke up!" Wu Yuer's face was full of disbelief but she still hopped out of bed involuntarily.

"Wa, why aren't you wearing your clothes?" Fang Zhengzhi took a look at Wu Yuer who had hopped out of the bed and walked out of the room pouting.

"Ah… clothes?! My clothes… Eh? But I wore them?" Shocked, Wu Yuer blushed and covered her private parts with her hands immediately. However, she soon realized that unlike what Fang Zhengzhi said, she was wearing the silky long dress.

Wu Yuer was stunned for a moment but reacted quickly with a flash of anger in her eyes. "Shameless brat, how dare you lie to me!"

Wu Yuer chased after Fang Zhengzhi. Then, she realized that Fang Zhengzhi was sitting in the courtyard, sipping on his morning tea while turning the Green-horned Antelope on the griller.

"Want to have some?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled brightly as he pointed to the Green-horned Antelope and the bowls beside it.

"Yes, of course. I… I haven't eaten the meat grilled by you shameless brat in a long time. This time, I will make sure I eat my share!" Wu Yuer made a soft 'hmph' and sat beside Fang Zhengzhi. Then, she looked at Fang Zhengzhi and her lips moved as though she was about to say something.

"I'm in a great mood now, if you have any questions, just ask." Fang Zhengzhi smiled extremely brightly as he saw Wu Yuer's expression.

"You… really don't feel the hatred anymore?" Wu Yuer asked cautiously.

"I feel it, how can I not feel the hatred?" Fang Zhengzhi replied casually without giving much thoughts.

"But you still have the mood to grill meat? Shouldn't you be…"

"Then what do you want me to do? Stop eating and drinking? Or should I head to the Blood Shadow City alone and look for Yun Qingwu to take revenge?" Fang Zhengzhi used his knife to cut a piece of the meat as he spoke. Then, he sent the meat to Wu Yuer's mouth.

Wu Yuer took a bite of the roast meat and chewed vigorously as her black eyes lit up. "It's delicious!"

"No other comments?"

"Yes. Fresh and juicy, melt-in-your-mouth, crispy and fragrant. Are these comments sufficient?" Wu Yuer smiled happily.

"Hmm, it's quite sufficient. Eat more, tell me about what's the situation like outside after you finish eating." Fang Zhengzhi nodded and cut another piece of meat to put in his mouth.

"Situation? What do you plan to do?" Wu Yuer was stunned. She looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a shocked expression. After all, from what she had remembered, Fang Zhengzhi was never concerned about the situation.

In other words, situations had never came across Fang Zhengzhi's mind. He was only interested in earning money, enjoying life, and so on.

Yet now, the first question Fang Zhengzhi had asked Wu Yuer was regarding the situation, it was no wonder that Wu Yuer was shocked.

"I have thought about it for a long time and analyzed some things. Would you care to listen?" Fang Zhengzhi wiped his mouth, poured a cup of tea and delivered it to Wu Yuer.

"Analyzing it for me?" Wu Yuer was shocked again because this was something that she had been doing in the past: putting together the tip-offs and then analyzing them to Fang Zhengzhi with great efforts.

"In your perception, what kind of Demon is Yun Qingwu?" Fang Zhengzhi fed Wu Yuer the tea and asked.

"Hmm… Wise and full of stratagems, an amazing strategist?" Wu Yuer swallowed the tea and blinked. She tried her best to cooperate with Fang Zhengzhi although she did not know what he wanted exactly.

"Besides that?"

"Pretty?"

"Let me rephrase my question. You mentioned that Yun Qingwu is wise and full of stratagems and an amazing strategist. Do you know how is she wise and full of stratagems, and how is she an amazing strategist?

"This… I know a little."

"All this while I have always had a question. Why did Yun Qingwu take such a huge risk to infiltrate into the boundaries of Great Xia, and why did she go around busking?"

"Perhaps it was to hide her identity and get tip-offs?"

"No, if it's merely to hide her identity, going around to busk is not the best choice. Furthermore, with her status in the Demon Race, she did not need to get tip-offs."

"I think you are right, so what do you think is Yun Qingwu's purpose?"

"Looking for someone!"

"Looking for someone?!"

"Yes. She went around to busk in the regions of the Great Xia Dynasty in order to look for someone. Only with that kind of method and identity could she get into direct contact with the elites in the Great Xia Dynasty," Fang Zhengzhi nodded and said with confidence.

"So, she found you?" Wu Yuer was taken aback when she heard this.

"Hmm, initially, she became slightly curious when I lifted her veil. The second encounter I had with Yun Qingwu was after I had passed the Province examination of the River of Trust Province. I revealed my capabilities and Yun Qingwu began to probe further. If I am correct, during the Imperial Examinations in the World of the Sage when I battled with the Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Race Ying Shan, Yun Qingwu should be outside the Flame Capital City. She sacrificed the life of a Vice Domain Chief to probe into my capabilities?"

"By your logic, could it be that… the Court Examinations was also a probe?"

"I was not so sure before this, but now, I am at least 70 percent sure that the so called "Battle of the Southern Region" was a plot by Yun Qingwu and she had made plans for two outcomes: winning and losing.

"Plans for two outcomes?"

"Yes. If I won, I would have secured the Southern Region. If I did not, she would still achieve her goal of her probe. The last probe she made should be the power struggle between the Crown Prince and King Duan.

"Are you referring to the battle in the Flame Capital City? So she planned for the appearance of Monster King Xieluo?"

"That's right. With the powers of Monster King Xieluo, it was impossible for the Holy Barbarian Empire to control him. The only person who could command King Xieluo was Yun Qingwu.

"This…" Wu Yuer had her mouth agape as she heard this. She was immensely shocked as after all, this plot was terribly shocking.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi looked as though he was deep in thought and turned the Green-horned Antelope with his hand.

"The death of King Xieluo caused Yun Qingwu to make a decision. However, this was not the end. She did a last confirmation personally!"

"Are you referring to the incident in Northern Mountain Village?" Wu Yuer's eyes widened.

"Hmm. All these were to enable me to enter the Holy Region and disrupt the balance in the Holy Region before I create an opportunity to open the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons!"

"She did it, she really did it. If all these are real, then Yun Qingwu is too intimidating!" Wu Yuer nodded her head slightly and clenched her teeth. "So… What do we do now? Do we really sit and wait for our deaths?"

"Eat your meat." Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand.

"Tell me first, after thinking about it for such a long time, you should have a plan already?" Wu Yuer clearly would not stop talking so simply.

"Of course, the plan is…"

"What?"

"You may hurt your balls if you take big steps!"

"Balls? But Yun Qingwu… doesn't have balls?" Wu Yuer frowned in confusion.

"…" Fang Zhengzhi froze slightly and looked at Wu Yuer. He suddenly felt that the saying 'one is marked by the company one keeps' was very accurate. "If she does not have balls, what would she hurt?"

"If she doesn't have balls, she would hurt… Shameless brat, you are shameless!" Wu Yuer was about to continue talking until she suddenly realized and blushed in embarrassment.
