"As she continues to live her life, her fate has long been decided. But now that you are too preoccupied with your own matters, why should you care about a mere mortal? " The mother's expression was cold. With a soft sigh, she turned around.
In the Heaven Mirror,'s body turned into ashes while being enveloped in the flames. Xiaowan knelt to the side and looked at the flames that soared to the sky without moving an inch.
Ling Chaofeng clenched his fist, afraid that in the next moment, she would jump in.
"Late at night, I need to live well …" Although the Xiaowan ignored him, he stayed in his mother's embrace and did not move. This way, at the very least, would be able to stop the Xiaowan from burning herself to death.
It was only then that Ling Chaofeng remembered his son. Now he completely understood where the Golden Dragon came from, and where the horns on his son's head came from.
Little Pei was his son, his father had nine sons, and each of them had their own form. Little Pei, on the other hand, had the might of a five clawed Golden Dragon, and if he were to return to the Heaven Realm, he would definitely be doted upon.
As expected, Dragon Queen returned to the front of the Heaven's Mirror, looking at her grandson lovingly as he muttered to himself.
"Muhou, late at night is just a mortal body, why would you give birth to a dragon grandson with me?" Ling Chaofeng asked.
His mother looked at him but said nothing.
Ling Chaofeng was about to speak again when a ray of golden light barged in, only to see a small Golden Dragon circling the hall. The gigantic Golden Dragon that he saw in the mortal world actually came to the Immortal World and became so small. It was just as Little Pei had said, he was still very young.
Very quickly, the little Golden Dragon took human form, and it was still the little guy with the horn on his head. It happily ran towards its grandmother and shouted, "Grandmother, Grandmother …"
Dragon Queen was overjoyed. He hugged his grandson to his chest, unwilling to let go.
"Little Pei?" Ling Chaofeng walked forward, but pulled him out from his mother's embrace and asked sternly, "If you come back, what about Mother?"
Little Pei pouted: "Grandma called me back."
Dragon Queen looked at his son coldly. "Little Pei is not a mortal, how long do you want him to stay in the mortal world? He was sent by me to reduce your sins, but what happened? It wasn't easy for you to get to the ninth life, but you actually committed murder and arson for a woman.
Ling Chaofeng didn't want to argue. When he had no memories of his previous life, he was just a mortal being influenced by the seven emotions and six desires, which was why he developed all kinds of personality traits.
Thinking back to the nine lifetimes of reincarnation, no matter how hard it had been, no matter how helpless he had been, he always felt that he had lived a full life.
"Good night! If you lose me, and if you lose Little Pei, she won't be able to continue living." Ling Chaofeng said solemnly, "If she was forced to death, muhou, could it be that this isn't my sin, nor is it your sin?"
Dragon Queen said angrily: "Take care of yourself first and wait for the judgement tomorrow. In the next thousand years, you will only be able to stay trapped inside the stone statue and squat on the roof of the Announcement Hall, and watch over every single part of the mortal world. I really want to know, how else do you still want to care about her life and death? "
"Muhou …"
"Grandmother." Little Pei spoke in a childish voice as he grabbed onto Dragon Queen's skirt. His beautiful big eyes were filled with pleading eyes.
"I came to visit royal father, I'm going home." Little Pei said obediently, "The tens of years that have passed have passed in the blink of an eye. When my mother's time is up, I will come back immediately."
The Dragon Queen sighed, squatted down and hugged his grandson, then said solemnly: "Don't leak out the secret, those few people only know that you are a Golden Dragon, maybe you got lucky, but this is all. Just as they once asked you, and you did not answer, so it will be from now on. Little Pei, if you dare to tell her or anyone else a single word, you will immediately fly back and never be able to return to her side.
"I know." Little Pei nodded strongly, and said to Ling Chaofeng even more, "Father, I will protect mother."
The Dragon Queen continued, "You can't recklessly use your mana in the human world. Although Grandma can't stop you, if you violate the rules like your father, you have to accompany him to guard the palace as a stone statue. Little Pei, promise Grandma that you will never follow in your father's footsteps. "
"Grandson has remembered it." Little Pei earnestly promised, and ran over to bow to his father, but his eyes were filled with tears, "Father, you have to take care of yourself, don't worry, I will protect mother."
Ling Chaofeng's heart warmed, and he hugged his son in his embrace.
Mother and son were connected so the Dragon Queen could feel his son's feelings at the moment. She sighed helplessly and shook his head.
She put down the treasure bottle she was wearing in the future and coldly said, "You will guard the Imperial Palace and protect the fate of our Daqi Nation for a thousand years. Within a thousand years, you are not allowed to leave the Divine Statue for anything else but to defend the Emperor against external enemies. There's Soul Divergence Pill in here. If you need it, you can detach your immortal soul from the divine statue, but you won't be able to sense anything and won't be able to sense any magic power. You have to be careful. When leaving the soul, if you are attacked and devoured by fiendish demons, even Heavenly Emperor Buddha won't be able to save you. "A thousand years may be long, but I know that these few decades alone won't be enough to keep you locked up."
kowtowed to his mother to express his gratitude. Dragon Queen walked away with a brush of his sleeves, Little Pei placed the precious bottle into his father's hands, and said: "Father, I will visit you at the Imperial Palace to bring you something nice to eat."
Ling Chaofeng laughed: "Keep it yourself. You have to be obedient and not cause mother to feel sad. Little Pei, Father will leave Mother to you. "
Ling Pei agreed, and after bowing to his father, he transformed into a chubby little Golden Dragon. In the mortal world, he was so imposing and domineering. When he returned to the fairyland, he was truly still a child.
A golden light rode the wind and flew past. Ling Chaofeng walked to the front of the Heaven Mirror and saw Xiaowan gathering the ashes.
When Little Pei returned from the Heaven Realm, a large gust of wind blew away the uncollected ashes, but Xiaowan did not feel sad. Whether it was blown away by the wind or scattered into the river, her husband would always be by her side when he was everywhere in the world.
She placed all the flowers inside a box and carefully put them away. She then said to his son who was beside her, "Little Pei, can you send father off with your mother tomorrow?"
The child nodded, the Xiaowan looked at him and suddenly woke up, and immediately asked: "Little Pei, are you hungry?"
As he spoke, he opened the front of his robe, revealing his snow-white breasts, and pulled Jiao Er into his arms.
Little Pei was startled. He had planned to never drink milk again, grow up, and protect his mother properly. However, he thought that if he did not need his mother to feed him now, she would be even more disappointed.
"Mother …" He called softly.
"Be good, eat your fill, mother will coax you to sleep." Xiaowan held her son, her body warm, just like his father, "Little Pei is not afraid. Your father is no longer around, your mother will protect you, and no one will hurt you."
After the fire was extinguished, it was already pitch black. The mother and son pair nestled against each other in the darkness. In the distance, Wei Tengfei stood straight and still, not moving an inch. Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao, as well as Mrs. Sun and Aunt did not come closer.
Everything that she had done, was done by the Xiaowan herself. She did not let anyone intervene in the matter, and even used her frail body to carry the burly Ling Chaofeng out. She fell countless of times, crawled up countless of times, and did not shed a single tear.
The soft and gentle young lady of the past had become so strong.
At night, the Xiaowan slept with his son. Little Pei did not want her to work hard, so he pretended to sleep with his eyes closed.
When he opened his eyes, his mother was curled up in a ball with her back to him. Her body was trembling and she let out a very faint whimper.
The next day, her swollen eyes were evidence of her tears, but she didn't shed tears in front of others. She calmly brought her son into the river on a boat, scattering her husband's ashes like a river.
In the valley, Aunt Zhang looked like she was about to faint as she drank half a bowl of porridge. Even if she did not want to move, Mrs. Sun advised her to cheer up and they had to take care of Xiaowan.
Wei Tengfei walked over and asked with a calm expression: "Are you staying here or going somewhere else, or … Come back to Chuanyu with me, I won't let anyone harm you guys anymore. I am going out with a friend Ling Chaofeng, his family, I will not ignore them. "
Aunt Zhang shook her head: "Wherever Xiaowan goes, I'll go. I'm her mother."
She was dressed in white clothes, and was pale as snow. She held her son's hand and walked over slowly, and when she saw Wei Tengfei, she no longer resented him, but ignored his existence.
Wei Tengfei could not stay here forever, so he had no choice but to ask again: "Xiaowan, what do you plan to do next?"
The Xiaowan didn't say a word and brought Little Pei back to the tile room.
"General Wei, you should go." "It's already not easy for her to be alive now. As time passes, we'll naturally have an idea."
Wei Tengfei knew that Xiaowan had misunderstood and brought her troops to chase after Ling Chaofeng. Right now, she had lost her husband and could not stay calm. However, he knew what would happen to the Xiaowan in the future. He was willing to spend his entire life to protect this woman.
"General, if we delay any longer, I'm afraid Long Yan will be angered. You have to think about this for the Empress." The servant cautiously reminded Wei Tengfei, "General, things have gotten to this point, let's go first."
Wei Tengfei sighed deeply, "Let's go."
In the capital, after the assembly had ended, under the leadership of the emperor, the Ministry of Rites and Works had worked together to invite the new guardian beast onto the Announcement Hall to fly over. Empress Wei Siyan carried the little princess and came to watch the ceremony.
The ritual officer solemnly told them that this divine beast could deter demons and eliminate disasters. Please stay on the roof of the Announcement Hall and protect the national destiny of the Daqi for ten thousand years.
Xiang Run said coldly, "Although divine beasts are intelligent, they are still unable to stop the mediocre and incompetent children. No matter how good the rivers and mountains are, they will still be defeated by them. I am unable to control the events that will happen a hundred years from now, but as long as I am in power, my heart must be with the people, and the country must be the priority. "
Siyan held the baby and looked up at the dignified and solemn stone statue. Her heart ached a little and that indescribable sadness appeared again.
"Yan'Er?" Xiang Run thought that the Empress was moved by the solemnness and said with a smile, "Is what I said too serious? After all, our children are our children. "Don't worry, in the future, if we have any sons or grandsons, we will definitely teach them well."
Siyan smiled, and her tears glimmered: "It's probably because the sand has entered my eyes, I'm really happy in my heart."
