Chapter 572: Realm 401: Warm Daily Life, Willow God’s Inner Thoughts_2
He knew Shi Hao’s accomplishment, and also knew that the other’s future would not be limited to this. Yet, the path to ultimate power was extensive and boundless, and the amount of time it required was immeasurable. Fire Spirit’s talent, after all, was limited; she could never reach such heights in her lifetime. Perhaps by the time the young man returned, the girl under the Fire Mulberry Tree would no longer exist in this mortal world.
But he was unable to dissuade her.
Because he knew his daughter’s heart was already with the man in front of them. And he also knew that his daughter’s temperament and character were unshakeable.
So he had to seize this opportunity to remind Shi Hao.
From his understanding of Shi Hao, Shi Hao was indeed a person who deeply values relationships and promises; he would never break his word. Otherwise, no matter how much his daughter resisted, he would never agree.
Shi Hao, of course, nodded solemnly.
“Father, Shi Hao will definitely not let me down.” Fire Spirit welled with tears, tightly holding Shi Hao’s hand beside her, exhilarated with happiness.
The Shi Couple also rushed over, not bothering to marvel at the grandeur of Liu Village. The two immediately guaranteed Shi Hao’s intentions, promising that if Shi Hao ever disappointed Fire Spirit in the future, they themselves would not let him off.
“I trust the words of my new relatives!” Fire Emperor said with a smile.
Meanwhile.
After pouring out all his thoughts, the Fire Emperor smiled and shifted his gaze to Liu Village. After a long while, he finally withdrew his gaze, signing heavily; his eyes revealed a sense of admiration and amazement that seemed almost tangible.
“During my time in the Lower Realm, Liu Village was already famous. But back then, I thought that perhaps it was nothing special. After all, the village was very mysterious, and there were very few rumors about it from the outside world, most of which were fabrications.
Not until later, when it was suspected that the pride of Liu Village had entered the Void God Realm, did I pay more attention to this insignificant and discreet power. After all, those youngsters could be compared to Shi Hao, they were extraordinary talents that ordinary forces could never nurture.”
The voice of the Fire Emperor echoed.
“Then came the chaos of the Seven Gods. Seeing them now, they’ve moved the entire village to the Upper Realm and suddenly they’ve become the most famous Taoist Orthodoxy in the Three Thousand Dao Regions. Moreover, there are rumors that the Master of Liu Village even had a conflict with the oldest Taoist Immortal Palace among the Ten Lands, yet he annihilated the Immortal Palace in just a moment!”
The shock in the Fire Emperor’s words grew heavier. Back in the Lower Realm, he had never interacted with this village, but he had heard some things about it. But he never expected that now this village has become an insurmountable mountain peak for him, even looking up to it was beyond his qualifications.
The Shi Couple felt the same.
…
In the original script, the two were said to be married, but in actuality, it was merely a formality, more like a lifetime pledge in front of adults.
But now, it was much more solemn, at least it looked like a real wedding.
“Mr. Jiang, thank you!”
On a cliff rising from the ground, lush trees and vibrant flowers were everywhere, and the air was filled with the rich, refreshing scent of treasure medicinal plants.
The Willow God looked somewhat blurry as she looked into the distance, taking in everything below at glance.
She had watched Shi Hao grow up step by step and saw some of her former self in him. Step by step, she sincerely hoped that this young man could achieve his dreams.
“Why are you thanking me, Dao Friend?!”
Jiang Hui looked at Willow God, somewhat puzzled.
“All this was arranged by you, Mr. Jiang!” The Willow God smiled playfully at Jiang Hui, looking quite certain.
“Well…not really. Everything was orchestrated by Old man Lin, I didn’t interfere!”
Jiang Hui shook his head and spoke honestly.
However, after hearing his words, Willow God gave him a strange look, then chuckled, “Mr. Jiang is indeed a straight talker. If it were someone else, they would probably take credit for it, after all, that would gain them some favor with me. But why doesn’t Mr. Jiang want to have too much involvement with me?”
The lips of the Willow God were full and plump, and as she spoke, her face showed a curious expression.
“Dao Friend, what do you mean by that? This is really wronging me. If I were like that, how could I have brought you back to the village.”
Jiang Hui’s eyes flickered as he explained hurriedly, not understanding why Willow God would say such things.
What if she really was attracted to him? Jiang Hui thought the likelihood was minimal. After all, she was once the Supreme Immortal King, who led thousands from the Alien Territory to a crushing defeat.
In her realm and mindset, affections and love in the mortal world might have long lost their meaning.
Just like stronger beings had more difficulty producing offspring, this seemed to be a necessary part of the evolution of life. Joy, anger, sorrow, resentments… such emotions, and more, might have become just a few barren words for her, having already lost their original meaning.
Moreover, Jiang Hui never thought he had the charm that could win over the heart of the Willow God with just a few years of acquaintance.
But if not, what was her intention?
Could it be that she’s bored? Or was she trying to show off her charm?
But this was the Willow God, someone whose character would never allow her to engage in such pointless activities.
So what was the real reason?
At this moment, even the always confident Jiang Hui felt as if his head was going to explode, unusually finding himself without any leads.
After a long time, he sighed softly in his heart.
As the saying goes, respond to soldiers with generals, water with earth. With his understanding of the Willow God, she wouldn’t harm him. As for the rest, he just needed to tell the truth.
Hearing Jiang Hui’s response, the Willow God’s eyes flickered a few times, “Mr. Jiang, you do distinguish clearly,”
“Mr. Jiang, I want to ask you for a favor!”
The Willow God bit her lip lightly as if she had made up her mind, suddenly stopping Jiang Hui from leaving.
“You’re too kind, if it’s within my capabilities, I’ll definitely lend you a hand!” Jiang Hui expressed with surprise.
“If Shi Hao encounters any difficulty in the future, I hope you can lend him a hand!”
The Willow God spoke earnestly, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Jiang Hui, hoping for a positive response.
Her eyes, pure and gleaming like green crystals, were so mesmerizing, one couldn’t help but want to immerse oneself in them. They shone like jewelries.
“With your strength, once restored to your peak, not to mention the Three Thousand Dao Regions, or even the broader Nine Heavens, perhaps even in the Alien Territory or Immortal Domain, there would hardly be anyone who could challenge you. Why insist on me offering aid?”
Jiang Hui raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the Willow God with an evaluative gaze. Was she planning to run away?
“To tell you the truth, a few days ago, I used the Heavenly Eye divine skill again and caught a glimpse of the future, where I saw your figure…”
“Oh?” Jiang Hui was suddenly curious.
“The universe was on the brink of chaos and you were still living until the end. Although I didn’t see it clearly, that figure looked like you. It didn’t resemble anyone else!”
Luckily, the Willow God did not keep him guessing and directly explained.
“Although I don’t possess any divine skill to see the future, I somewhat have my unique insights into it. I can just say that the future you saw might not be true!”
Jiang Hui waved his hand.
He believed the latter half of her statement, but the former half, that only he survived till the end, Jiang Hui could not agree. At the very least, the Emperor Huang Tian, along with Liu Village should be added!
With the protection of the Utopia Array, no matter how chaotic the future, as long as they stayed in the village, all villagers should survive.
“That piece of the future, it can’t be wrong!” The Willow God shook her head, seeming to wholeheartedly believe in the future scene she had seen.
“Rest assured, if Shi Hao does face danger, I will step in,”
Jiang Hui paused, then gave a bitter smile.
“Rest assured, Mr. Jiang, as a reward, I won’t let you exert effort in vain. I am still a virgin and can be used as a cauldron for you. After our bodies and hearts merge, it should bring significant improvement to your realm!”
The Willow God puckered her lips, steadied her mind, and then slowly spoke. She blushed imperceptibly, appearing fragile…
