Chapter 61: 57. Ask Him If He Dare to Come
Translator: 549690339
Lady Jade was a very beautiful woman. Her long hair reached her waist, and she was filled with an immortal aura. She danced very well, and she was the kind that could topple a country. There was once a national artist who drew a painting for her, and that painting was still hidden in the Ninth Princess âpalace.
When he and Little Su were young, they would often sit on the soft couch beside the woman and listen to her tell stories.
Little Su would fall asleep as she listened. As she had transmigrated, she was not interested in the childrenâs stories. She only pretended to be interested in them for her motherâs self-esteem.
In summer, the heat was unbearable. The woman would personally boil some soups like iced plum and wild jujube to relieve the heat. Then, she would add large ice cubes and crushed rock sugar and serve them to him and Xiaosu.
Although it was cold in winter in the Northern Lands, the high temperature in midsummer was not bad at all. He and Little Su looked at the cold drink with eager eyes, drooling.
Although he had transmigrated here, he would definitely have had a lot of cold drinks every summer in the world before he transmigrated. Otherwise, he would not have been able to live. However, cold drinks were not easy to obtain in this world.
The Imperial Palace was dangerous. As a prince or princess, sometimes being careless was equivalent to losing oneâs life. Only the things that that woman brought were safe because only that woman would treat him and Little Su wholeheartedly and without reservation.
Autumn was a good time for hunting. A group of royal children followed the nobles to the West Mountain to hunt. In order to catch the emperorâs eye, the hunters were extremely attentive and competed with each other. The woman carefully spread her wings like a hen to protect herself and Little Su, afraid that there would be an âaccidentâ shooting arrows.
In winter, the snowfall in the North was the most rampant. That woman would always prepare the warmest winter clothes in advance. She knew her and Little Suâs body measurements by heart and would never forget them.
As for her and Little Su, who didnât understand the rules of the royal family and made mistakes that angered the emperor, that woman would kneel down and plead for mercy. She would always say that it was her fault and that she should be punished.
No matter what, she would not let anyone hurt him and Little Su.
Scenes flashed back, warm memories. Even though it had been a long time, it still felt like yesterday.
The beautiful woman had also grown older, and he and Little Su had also grown up. At that time, he had not awakened his cheat, but he also wanted to show her filial piety..
Although he had transmigrated, he had transmigrated in his motherâs womb. How could his previous life have become a big dream? This life was truly alive, and she was his biological mother.
There was no mother better than her in this world.
But she was dead.
Tian Zi ate her.
The Crown Prince said that he guessed that it was a secret technique to absorb power. Tian Zi was definitely not weak, and Lady Jade should be very strong. No one knew what had happened between the two.
Xia Ji didnât know either, because Lady Jade had never told him.
Xia Ji heaved a sigh of relief. Xiao Su was still crying in his arms. She looked like she was going to cry her entire life away.
Xia Ti had also susnected that the Crown Prince was Iving. but whvwould he
lie?
He was already opposing Tian Zi, so why would he say a lie that could be exposed?
Moreover, his spiritual power was extremely strong. He could tell if he was lying or not.
However, what was the Ancestral Dragon Immersion?
Why was it that only he and Little Su did not have it?
He looked at the courtyard. The mark of the wheel was gradually covered by the snow.
Looking at the dark and deep courtyard, it was like an abyss. Looking at the girl in his arms sleeping soundly,
He grabbed the strong liquor in the jug and drank it all.
Then, he picked up Little Su and sent her back to the palace. He covered her with a blanket and blew out the eleven lamps, leaving only one star of light in case she woke up in the middle of the night.
After he left, he saw Hu Xian Er and said, âTake good care of the Ninth Princess.
âMaster, are you going on a long trip?â Hu Xian Er asked curiously.
âThunder Sound Monastery should have many ancient books hidden in your
Monster Clan, right?â
âNot bad.â
âGive me a letter and a little fox. Iâll set off tomorrow morning. I want to read those books.â
âI canât bear to part with youâŠâ Hu Xian Er lifted her sleeves and pretended to be in tears. Her charming eyes fluttered as she looked at him shyly. â Why donât you accompany me for a day and a night? â
Xia Jiâs brain had evolved to the point where he could completely ignore all her dirty words. He threw out two twenty-seven-bead prayer beads from his pocket. â One for you, and the other for the ninth princess. â
âftventy-seven, meaning that eighteen learned and nine unlearned, is the number of sages who have achieved Nirvana.
After saying this, he no longer looked at Hu Xian Er and stepped into the dark snow.
Then, he sat by the lake and looked at the frozen surface of the lake, listening to the wails and howls of ghosts in the wind.
A death warrior walked out from the darkness and knelt behind him. He said respectfully, âMaster.â
âTomorrow morning, go to Fengyun Tower.â
Fengyun Tower was a large-scale intelligence organization with strongholds in every city. The imperial city was in great danger, and although many of Fengyun Towerâs people had left, there were still quite a few left. Thus, they could still carry out their original functions.
âWhat does Master want to investigate?â the warrior asked.
Iâm not investigating anything. I just want them to pass a message for me. â Xia Ji paused for a moment and said lightly, â Spring of March, Iâll go to the north bank of the Great River to wait for the emperor and ask him if he dares to kill me. â
âYes, Master.â
âBring enough silver and let them spread this sentence throughout the world.â
âYes, sir!â
âYou may leave.â
The men of sacrifice quickly left while maintaining their bowed posture. They only straightened up and disappeared behind the wall when they turned the corner.
Xia Ji sat alone by the lake, slightly hunched forward.
Buddhas also have fire, but demons have hatred.
I hate that fate is unfair.
I hate that good and evil are not rewarded.
Hentian Tianqiong was too high.
He hated that he had been separated from his loved ones in the Yellow Springs, but he had never understood that his loved ones had died a tragic death. He had not returned the favor of giving birth to his child for ten months and raising him for fourteen years.
Was it too late?
He got up and took three incense sticks from the snowstorm. He turned his head to look at the south. It was said that his mother died there. No matter how fierce the snowstorm was, it could not get close to him. His fingers brushed past, and the burning light lit up the incense sticks, leaving three spots of light in the darkness.
He bowed three times and then clenched his right hand. The flames exploded in the darkness. The three incense sticks burned up in an instant. After a few breaths, they were all turned into ashes, drifting into the snow with the wind.
âNow that the Imperial City is stable, little sister has grown up.
Hu Xianer was inside, and Queen Guifang was outside.
There were tens of thousands of soldiers protecting him, but the Crown Prince was secretly preparing for revenge.
Such an imperial city will be impregnable this winter.â
Xia Ji strolled along the shore of Huaqing Lake and muttered, â With Hu Xian âer here, even if Iâm far away from the Imperial City, I can still find out what happened in the Imperial City through that contract.
So, I still have about two months left.
âIn March, I need to go south to weigh the weight of this world and see if he dares to come.â
If he doesnât dare to come, Iâll go find him.â
Xia Jiâs voice was very calm, without much fluctuation.
Anger would always pass in a moment. It was childishness, an impulse that had lost its rationality.
Therefore, he was not angry.
What he wanted was to suppress the land of the south with one hand and flip the sky over there.
The next day.
Xia Ji left the 800 Deathsworn Token to Xia Xiaosu.
Hu Xian Er wrote a secret letter and arranged for a little fox to bring the Seventh Prince to the Northern Lands.
The demons of the Northern Lands were mainly the Fox and Tiger tribes around Mount Meruâs eighth peak.
When he passed Mount Meru, Xia Ji entered Thunder Sound Monastery.
The reconstruction of Thunder Sound Temple had a new appearance. The Buddha statue had been gilded and had just been completed.
As the new abbot, Monk Zizai seemed to have untied the knot in his heart. His originally skinny figure became much sturdier, and his dim eyes became much sharper.
Xia Ji didnât linger. After casually answering Zizaiâs questions about cultivation and Zen, he quickly picked a few scriptures that he hadnât read before and read them carefully along the way.
Then, like a scholar, he carried the bamboo basket on his back and continued to set off with the little fox.
Inside the bamboo basket were scriptures, prayer beads, green candles, dry food, a carving knife, and agarwood..
