Chapter 163 - A Reunion With Dachun

Chapter 163: A Reunion With Dachun

The Xuanhuang Great World was currently like a calm lake.

The Yuhua God Dynasty was naturally on the surface of this lake.

It ruled over more than half of the world in an upright manner.

But beneath the peaceful lake was a fierce undercurrent.

Many large fishes and prawns swam freely.

Many poisonous pythons and flood dragons were also hidden, silently cultivating to further improve their strength.

Nowadays, the world was relatively peaceful.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect sealed themselves, albeit no one knew why.

The people of the world, however, made a few wild guesses before they focused their attention on the Yuhua God Dynasty.

It was understandable that they would suspect that the Yuhua God Dynasty was the reason why the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect did such a move. After all, Daoist Priest Daoyi targeted the Yuhua God Dynasty before the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect chose to seal themselves.

No one in the world would believe that the Yuhua God Dynasty wasn’t involved in this matter.

Once the threat of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect disappeared, the Yuhua God Dynasty began to heavily invest in their development. They did not shy away from the public as numerous reforms, laws, and public sectors were established.

Emperor De also became bolder.

He was certain that Lin Jiufeng secretly made a move against the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect.

As a result, he sent his subordinates to the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect to pay respects and ask for the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect’s secret manuals and cultivation techniques.

They would be donated to the Martial Temple and its branches for the betterment of the world.

The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect was dumbfounded by Emperor De’s move.

They thought that this was Lin Jiufeng’s true intention when he paid them a visit that day.

Furious, they gnashed their teeth and were unwilling to accept Emperor De’s request.

But in the end, Daoist Priest Daoyi still gnashed his teeth and handed over what Emperor De wanted. Just like that, Emperor De managed to once again bolster the influence and power of the Martial Temple and its branches.

Along with it, the Yuhua God Dynasty’s prestige was also enhanced in one move.

When Lin Jiufeng came to know about what happened, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He said to the white cat.

“The phrase ‘once bitten, twice shy’ truly represents the state of the Primordial Chaos Dao Sect today.”

“It’s because you are too strong…”

“Why would they even bother with Emperor De’s men if not for your deterrence?”

The white cat replied.

Lin Jiufeng continued on his journey with the white cat.

He went from the Jiangnan area to the Mobei area in the middle of the night.

Mount Primordial Chaos was within Jiangnan, but it wasn’t close to Jiangnan Road.

Thus, Lin Jiufeng had to spend a night traveling from Jiangnan to Mobei.

From here, Lin Jiufeng headed for the Northern Regions.

“Our tour of Jiangnan is complete now that we’ve witnessed what Jiangnan has to offer. We’ve enjoyed Jiangnan’s misty rains and enjoyed the company of its talented, beautiful, and hospitable people…”

“Now, I’ll bring you to Mobei so we can see the men of the north. The scenery in the north is completely different from the misty Jiangnan.” Lin Jiufeng added.

“As long as I’m with you, anywhere is fine.” The white cat didn’t mind.

She just liked to roam around with Lin Jiufeng.

If she was asked to travel alone, she wouldn’t be interested.

Taking advantage of the night, Lin Jiufeng planned to spend his final night in Jiangnan.

Tomorrow, he would not be in Jiangnan anymore.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t use his cultivation base to travel.

Instead—like an ordinary person—he let the horse-drawn carriage do the work for him.

When the horse was tired, he would then stop to take a look at the scenery around him.

He wasn’t in a hurry anyway.

Of course, the white cat felt the same.

Lin Jiufeng thought that he would be traveling all night.

But he suddenly saw a familiar figure beneath the moonlight.

A plump figure stood by the lake with his hands behind his back.

Lin Jiufeng shouted in surprise. “Dachun?!”

The plump figure was none other than Lin Jiufeng’s one and only friend—Dachun.

Back then, when Lin Jiufeng was still in the Cold Palace, Dachun insisted on delivering food to him.

He was the helper who accompanied him throughout those lonely days.

Hence, Lin Jiufeng had always regarded Dachun as his friend.

His one and only friend in this world!

Dachun bade farewell to Lin Jiufeng in the Imperial Capital decades ago.

He returned to his hometown in Jiangnan to accompany his old mother.

Soon afterwards, he became the commander of Jiangnan Road.

But when his mother fell ill, he resigned from his post and focused on being with her.

This time, Lin Jiufeng didn’t come across Dachun in his visit to Jiangnan.

When he accompanied the white cat to roam around and play, he also looked for Dachun, but he found no news of him whatsoever.

He only heard that Dachun’s old mother had passed away.

Then, Dachun disappeared with her corpse.

Lin Jiufeng thought that it would be very difficult for him to see Dachun again and that the fact that he didn’t manage to find him would become his deepest regret.

But he didn’t expect that on his final night in Jiangnan, he would stumble upon Dachun at a lake at the base of a random mountain.

Lin Jiufeng had never forgotten Dachun’s plump figure.

And he would never mistake it for someone else.

He exclaimed in joy and stopped the carriage.

Dachun—who was enjoying the night scenery by the lake—turned around in surprise.

When he saw Lin Jiufeng, his eyes lit up. He shouted excitedly. “Your Royal Highness—”

Meow ~

The white cat called out.

She was also very happy to see Dachun, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Lin Jiufeng parked the carriage and let the horse eat the grass at the side.

He then brought the white cat close to the lake and met up with Dachun.

“We haven’t seen each other in decades…” Lin Jiufeng lamented.

“Yes—Dachun greets Your Royal Highness!” Dachun laughed and went on his knees.

“Get up! What’s there to kneel before a dethroned crown prince?”

Lin Jiufeng reached out and helped Dachun up.

“Your Royal Highness’s words are wrong…”

“The people of the world may not know about it, but how could I not know about the truth?”

Dachun added. “To be honest, I wasn’t sure that Your Royal Highness was behind the destruction of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sacred Tower, but now that I’ve seen Your Royal Highness here, I’m certain that it was your doing.”

Lin Jiufeng smiled. But he didn’t explain.

Dachun was one of the few people who knew that Lin Jiufeng was a very powerful existence.

After all, he had personally seen with both of his eyes how Lin Jiufeng made a move in that battle above the Forbidden City before.

“Your Royal Highness…”

“The Primordial Chaos Dao Sect that kicked up such a huge commotion a few days ago. You’re also the one that dealt with them, am I right?” Dachun asked.

Lin Jiufeng asked, “Why do you say so?”

Dachun looked at Lin Jiufeng in admiration: “In the entire Yuhua God Dynasty, and even in the entire world, the only person who can do such a thing is none other than Your Royal Highness…”

When Lin Jiufeng was first imprisoned within the confines of the Cold Palace, he had become nothing but an ordinary young man.

At that time, Dachun was only in his teenage years—he was even younger than Lin Jiufeng.

Today, Dachun was now almost 100 years old. He had seen a lot—experienced a lot.

His horizons have long been broadened.

It was only when he looked back from where he came from that he realized that the might of the Crown Prince in the Cold Palace was as boundless as the ocean.

“Dachun, it has been decades since we’ve seen each other. You’ve really gone through a lot. To think that you even know how to flatter someone now.” Lin Jiufeng replied with a smile.

He didn’t refute Dachun’s words.

But it was also a form of indirect admission.

Dachun chuckled.

A simple-minded expression appeared on his plump face.

The 100-year-old Human God still looked the same as he was when he first met Lin Jiufeng 90 years ago.

But of course, even a Human God couldn’t escape the clutches of time.

It might be subtle, but traces of the passage of time could be seen on Dachun’s figure.

“It has truly been so long since we’ve last seen each other, Your Royal Highness…”

“This Dachun has become older, but Your Royal Highness still looks the same as you are back then. Your appearance really hasn’t been affected by time.” Dachun lamented.

Lin Jiufeng hugged the white cat and looked at the obviously aged Dachun.

He was now at the Human God Realm.

The way he carried himself and his mentality had long been changed by the passage of time.

The current Dachun was not only physically old but also mentally old.

“Did your mother pass away?” Lin Jiufeng asked.

“Yes…”

“She was at peace when she left. She was surrounded by her children and grandchildren…”

“With the help of this recovery of spiritual energy, she managed to live for more than a hundred years…”

“She could be considered to have died of old age.”

“I brought her corpse back to our hometown when I was young and I buried her in the happiest place according to her memories…”

“I disappeared because I guarded her tomb for three years.” Dachun explained.

“That’s nice…”

“To be able to leave this world in peace is nice.”

“We can say that she had thoroughly lived her life in this mortal realm to her satisfaction…”

“Life, death, illness, and old age are daily occurrences in this mortal world.”

Lin Jiufeng patted Dachun’s shoulder.

“Yes. It’s been three years, so I don’t feel too sad about her departure anymore…”

“I feel nostalgic about her passing instead.”

“Your Royal Highness, may I invite you to my humble abode for a drink? I haven’t delivered food to Your Royal Highness for many years…”

“To be honest, I really missed those peaceful days.” Dachun invited Lin Jiufeng.
