Chapter 574: 402
Jiang Hui has never been a narcissistic person. Even though the person before his eyes indeed gave him some inexplicable palpitations and he really could not resist the urge to embrace her, he still maintained a bit of rationality. This has always been his habit.
“You actually think I’m messing with you?”
Hearing Jiang Hui’s response, the Willow God exclaimed angrily, seemingly surprised at how Jiang Hui responded.
Though she wasn’t the actual Willow God’s body but just a battle mark the other party had left behind, she was deeply connected to the origin, making her equivalent to the ancestral figure of the Sacrificial Spirits from the past. She had a deep understanding of humanity and the universe, her life form had already evolved to an extreme degree. Having always been a person whose words held great weight, when would she enjoy toying with people!
“I was just asking, if it’s not the case, even better!” Jiang Hui’s tone suddenly lowered, and he smiled apologetically. He had already understood, the Willow God’s words were sincere, just as he had initially guessed, she had no intention of tricking him.
“By the way, I really want to know, when did you start to fancy me, and what aspect of me did you fall for?” Jiang Hui was still uneasy, not because he thought the Willow God would harm him, but because the whole thing felt unreal to him.
“No wonder you are still single up to now. I must say, the questions you’re asking are very rigid. If it were someone else, they would probably have left a long time ago.”
The Willow God advanced a few steps, standing face to face with Jiang Hui, expressing her vexation.
The distance was so close that Jiang Hui could even feel her breath.
Just like him, it was a bit rushed, like a deer running in panic…
The Willow God, she seemed very nervous as well.
In her whole life, this was the first time she was pursuing the opposite sex. She originally thought that given her condition, it would be a piece of cake. However, it turned out to be extremely difficult. She had beat around the bush so many times, even explicitly clarified her intentions now, yet he did not succumb, instead he rigidly asked her when she started to like him and what she liked about him, questions that seemed utterly foolish to her.
It was supposed to be a romantic situation, but at this moment, the Willow God had a sense of rigidity that reminded her of the time when she was cultivating in the past.
“Mr. Jiang can think it over. Once you have a clear understanding, please let me know in person, regardless of the outcome!”
After a long while, the Willow God sighed and looked at the blockhead in front of her, speaking somewhat resentfully.
…
…
After their wedding day, Shi Hao and Fire Spirit were immersed in their newlywed bliss for several days. However, in the end, Shi Hao decided to say farewell to the girl he was fond of, as well as the villagers and the Shi couple of Stone Village, and embark on his journey once again.
Shi Hao had previously made an agreement with someone to explore the No Man’s Area, and now was the time to fulfill that promise.
Before setting off, he specifically sought out Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen, hoping that they could accompany him on his journey.
Shi Hao originally did not intend to do so, but before his departure, the Willow God specifically sought him out. As for what they discussed, no one knew.
In the end, Tu Wa Zi and Gu Chen agreed to Little Dot’s request, they also wanted to take a look at the Forbidden Area and see for themselves the mystery it holds.
Of course, the major reason was that they had heard that extraordinary items were often found in that place and they came with chances that were rarely found. Some were even considered relics even among some Ancient Lineage communities, priceless in value, hence they decided to try their luck.
However, before this, there was one thing that had been on Tu Wa Zi’s mind.
Today was the anniversary of old man Tu’s death, which only occurred once every five years.
According to tradition, his offspring were expected to hold a vigil.
Tu Wa Zi didn’t necessarily have to participate, even though he also had the surname Tu, he actually didn’t have a very close relationship with old man Tu. However, old man Tu had taken care of him along the way. If he didn’t go, Tu Wa Zi would feel somewhat remorseful.
Just as dawn broke, with a hint of white appearing in the sky, Tu Wa Zi and old man Tu’s offspring had already begun their preparations in earnest.
Old man Tu lived for more than a hundred and thirty years. He had had two wives in his lifetime, but his luck was not very good. In the turmoil of the black fog, they all died at the hands of the Fog Monsters. The good thing was, he still had quite a few descendants, although some did not survive their early years and others were lost in the black fog, the majority of them still made it and later joined Liu Village under old man Tu’s leadership.
Now, old man Tu had as many as fifty to sixty grandchildren, some were still cooing and gurgling, while some had already become the main force in the village, joining the patrol team, a position envied by everyone, with good remuneration.
The early morning air had a faint hint of chill, it was deep autumn.
Wrapped in his brown robe, a group of teenagers came to the back hill early, led by Tu Wa Zi, all of them were quiet with no sound of confusion.
The food provided was rough grain pancakes, made from cornmeal and buckwheat flour, they were coarse and hard, without a hint of oil but they were filling and satisfying.
During the vigil, it was not allowed to eat any meat or overly greasy food, and hot food was also prohibited.
It was somewhat similar to the Cold Food Festival that Jiang Hui knew. Ordinary people naturally couldn’t bear it, but for a group of energetic young men who often received the Ancient Legacy Blood Tempering Body, it was no problem.
There were plenty of rough grain pancakes, everyone received two each.
