Chapter 774 The Journey of Exile (10)
"Could it be that there's something wrong with your destiny?" Zhang Qilin said uncertainly.
"Maybe!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of panic.
"Alright, I'll tell you a secret." Wangyou interrupted their thoughts directly; she had naturally thought of everything they could think of.
"What secret?"
"Actually, I created the first person in the Xie family. At that time, Nuwa was making clay figures, and I happened to pass by and made one with her. The first clay figure I made looked exactly like me, so I endowed her with divinity. She was the first patriarch of the Xie family."
"How many years must the Xie family have existed!"
"Forget-Me-Not, do you want to go back and take a look?"
"No, I went back once before, but I can't go back now. The rules of my world are very complete. If I were to rashly intrude, I would break the rules of the world. Besides, who knows how many years have passed there? Going or not going is meaningless now."
"Forget-Me-Not, were you already devoid of romantic feelings back then?" Xie Yuchen asked pointedly.
"Yes, my love root was very weak back then. Later I found out that I only had half a love root in my body. Sometimes I would become unlike myself. That was the world when I first met you. Later I destroyed it. It wasn't until my current love root grew back that I realized that the half love root that I destroyed before was not my love root."
"So the question now is, whose love is that root?" Zhang Qilin had also discerned the various twists and turns in the conversation.
"Yes, whose is it? Or rather, what is it used for? Let's go back and contact my brother and see if we can find out anything. Oh, right, let's make mooncakes today, since the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner."
"I've been preparing for this for a while now, look at the five-nut filling," the fat man said cheerfully.
"Keep the five-nut filling for yourself," Xie Yuchen said disdainfully.
"No, the five-nut filling is delicious. Don't let me eat it all by myself. It's too heavy."
"Let me make mooncakes too!" Wangyou excitedly rubbed her little hands together, eager to try.
"How about we go catch some fish at the village entrance and have Fatty make us fish-filled mooncakes?" Xie Yuchen suddenly said in a serious tone.
“Pork is fine too,” Zhang Qilin said, pursing his lips.
Would these two make good mooncakes?
"Delicious, especially delicious! You guys go ahead, leave the rest to me, Blind Man, and Innocent," Fatty Wang chimed in, and the other two agreed wholeheartedly.
"Is it that scary?" Wangyou said helplessly. It seemed that her cooking last time had frightened them.
“Yes, sweetie, you’re not suited for cooking. We’ll take care of that. All you need to do is be beautiful,” Zhang Qilin said earnestly.
"Ugh, couldn't you just lie to me for once?!"
“If you can’t eat the mooncakes after making them, you’ll be unhappy. Come on, let’s go hunt some more game and try making mooncakes with different fillings.” The two of them grabbed Wangyou’s hands on either side and went out.
In the end, Wangyou was not able to participate in making mooncakes. Instead, the two of them took her to the county town and bought her a bunch of things before she went home satisfied.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, several people gathered together to drink and chat. That year, Wangyou was fifteen years old, Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin were both fourteen years old, and Fatty, Qi Sinian, and Chaoyang were thirteen years old.
"Aren't you really going to consider joining me in conquering the world?" Nangong Che looked at the six people in the courtyard and was almost exasperated.
Several people, each more capable than the last, but apart from reading and making money, they had no interest in anything else. They had lost count of how many times they had been asked to come and ask for help.
"Nangong Che, you don't need a few of us. We just want to live a peaceful life here. Please stop bothering us." Wangyou decided to be a little harsher.
“But this place is so barren, it’s not suitable for you to stay here. You were born to be pampered and spoiled.” Nangong Che suddenly said to Wangyou.
"Am I not spoiled? What's wrong with what I eat, wear, and live in? Compared to the bustling city, I prefer life in the mountains. Nangong Che, you saved my life and now you're repaying it with your body. In some ways, that might be repaying kindness with enmity."
Nangong Che's face turned pale instantly. He knew that Wangyou had seen through his thoughts, but did he really have no chance at all?
"I understand. I will conquer this land and give you... no, I will give the people a prosperous and beautiful country."
Nangong Che left, and he never came back after that.
“You don’t have to stay cooped up in this little mountain village with me. If you want to go out for a walk, that’s fine too,” Wangyou said to the group.
"Wherever you are, I will be. We don't have much time together to begin with, and I don't want to be separated from you," Xie Yuchen said affectionately to Wangyou.
Zhang Qilin grasped Wangyou's hand tightly, saying, "We'll never be apart, never."
"Sigh, it's just me and Si Nian left. I'm such a single dog."
"There are so many women in the world, and no one is forcing you to find a partner."
"That's right, this time I, Fatty, am determined to get married and have children successfully." Fatty started thinking about potential partners.
"However, I advise you to be careful when choosing a partner. It's best to choose someone with similar abilities to you. Otherwise, getting married and having children in the mortal realm can easily leave behind heavy karma. The divine body is long, so you must be careful in every step you take," Wangyou reminded her after thinking for a moment.
"Does having children leave behind heavy karmic consequences?" Chaoyang asked curiously.
"At first, when you were bound to the Quick Transmigration System, it wouldn't have happened because your souls were very weak. But now it's different. Your three original bodies should at least be at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. Ordinary people can't conceive your children, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to give birth."
But if you are fortunate enough to be born, then this karma will be yours. Moreover, during the mother's pregnancy, this karma will bind you, consuming your own vital essence. Furthermore, no matter where the child is or what status they hold in the future, whether they do good deeds or bad deeds, you will also bear a share of the karma.
"What if it were you? What would be the consequences?" Zhang Qilin asked suddenly, sounding a little nervous.
"It will consume my essence. If I were pregnant now, it wouldn't be my ordinary body that would be conceiving, but my true self. Given my status, it would take at least 30 million years for me to be born. But those 30 million years might consume half of my essence, and the recovery would be very slow, ten times the amount consumed."
"It's not just mine; if the child is related to you, your vital essence will also be drained. And if I lay an egg, hatching it will require even more vital essence."
"Are the consequences of immortals having children really that serious? No wonder all those immortals are so pure and detached from worldly desires." Wangyou's words startled the group.
"Wangyou, let's never have children, okay?" Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin were frightened by Wangyou's words. They were fine after their essence was drained, but Wangyou still had responsibilities.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Once I've completely resolved what's wrong with me, if I'm still alive, it's fine to have two kids to play with," Wangyou said with a smile.
