Daily Life of Raising a Child

Chapter 16

After the Dragon Phoenix Tribulation, the West was in a very awkward situation.

First of all, the once barren and desolate places were now covered with vitality. Birds were singing and flowers were fragrant.

However, the fire and flood three hundred years ago made the West very troubled. Beautiful places were really beautiful, such as Spirit Mountain, were full of vitality. Dry places were also really dry, such as the Undying Volcano in the Far West. It could be said that there was not a single blade of grass growing in a radius of a hundred miles.

Shao Ho stood on Yunzhou and looked down at the boundless desert.

"Goddess, are we going to see Father?"

A cute little peacock stood behind the table, its beautiful tail with a five-colored divine light fell slightly on the table.

"I haven't seen him for a hundred years, I wonder how he is doing. Where's Garuda?"

Shao Ho looked at the peacock that was emitting the light of Mary Sue and looked away with some difficulty. He changed the topic and asked the golden-winged Dapeng.

The little peacock was one of Yuan Feng's two sons. Kong Xuan smiled. "I didn't see my elder brother." The five-colored divine light behind him was even more dazzling.

Shao Ho closed his eyes slightly. "Kong Xuan, put away your divine light." It was too eye-catching.

Kong Xuan turned into a human. It was a young man wearing … colorful clothes. What a stubborn aesthetic.

"Goddess, what do you think of this?"

The handsome young man had an obedient smile on his face and looked very pleasing to the eye. Of course, that was if you ignored the aesthetic disaster of his clothes.

Seeing that Shao Ho closed his eyes and did not speak, he pursed his lips and felt a little wronged. He took out a bell that was emitting five-colored divine light and inserted his spiritual energy. "Brother, Goddess is looking for you."

Without waiting for Garuda to reply, he cut off the spiritual energy and sat down with his head lowered.

Shao Ho opened his eyes in surprise. Why was it so quiet?

He glanced at the dimmed Kong Xuan next to him and understood after thinking for a while. He took out Hongjun's' favorite 'osmanthus cake and called out softly, "Kong Xuan, come to me."

Kong Xuan raised his head and looked at the pink and translucent osmanthus cake in her hand. He licked his lips and smiled. "Thank you, Your Highness ~"

She happily picked up the osmanthus cake and put it into her mouth …

?????

"Waa!" Between great joy and great sorrow, he was so angry that he cried.

Shao Ho was dumbfounded as he held the plate. "Kong Xuan?

What happened to you? "

Shao Ho, who had been shrouded in Hongjun's lies, had never thought of tasting her own cooking, even with Tongtian's bluntness.

Seeing that Kong Xuan was crying because of the poison, she looked at the cake in her hand in bewilderment and couldn't help but think, 'Is it really that bad?'

Kong Xuan saw that Shao Ho was about to try the cake and subconsciously stopped her. He looked at her with watery eyes and firmly took the plate away. "Your Highness, this is really delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious before. I couldn't control myself for a moment."

'Hold it in, my hands can't shake, my face has to be serious, and my eyes have to be serious!'

She looked suspiciously at Kong Xuan, who almost had the word 'serious' written on his face. "Is that so?"

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Kong Xuan quickly grabbed the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He cried as he ate, "It's really, really delicious!"

Shao Ho saw that he ate so quickly and hurriedly comforted him. "Even if it's delicious, don't eat so quickly. Eat slowly. There are only the two of us in Yunzhou. If you really like it, I'll ask Chang Xi to send me some osmanthus flowers. I'll make more for you. Hey!

Be careful not to choke! "

Kong Xuan: 'Heaven wants me dead!'

"Thank you, Your Highness … Kong Xuan, I'm very grateful." He swallowed the osmanthus flower cake in his mouth with tears in his eyes.

"Your Highness." A calm young man's voice suddenly sounded from the other side. Shao Ho looked in the direction of the voice.

"Garuda, you're just in time."

Garuda smiled shyly and looked in confusion at Kong Xuan, whose face was covered in tears. "Niang niang, he … what happened?"

Shao Ho smiled. "He's very happy that I promised to make osmanthus flower cake for him."

Kong Xuan chuckled and walked towards Garuda with the cake in his hand. "Brother, do you want to try it?

Your Highness made it herself ~ "

Garuda reached out to take it and put it into her mouth without hesitation. … She endured the strange taste in her mouth and praised without changing her expression. "As expected of Your Highness. Even the cakes are so delicious."

Seeing that he looked so serious, Kong Xuan couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his taste buds. After all, he heard that even the person from the Purple Cloud Palace loved to eat it.

"It's good that you like it. I'll make more and you can share it with Kong Xuan."

Garuda nodded obediently. Her light blonde hair made her look like a large dog.

.....

Yunzhou stopped above a volcano that kept spewing lava. The scorching hot air surrounded the three of them.

"Let's go."

The interior of the Undying Volcano wasn't as crude as it looked from the outside. The Feng people decorated it very delicately. Parasol leaves could be seen everywhere, and scenes of the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation were engraved on the mountain walls.

Feng, who was passing by, saw the familiar Shao Ho and the two princes who came to visit the King from time to time. She looked at each other in surprise. 'Did the two princes find the Queen?'

That's right. Until now, the Feng people still believed that Shao Ho was their Queen. After all, Yuan Feng didn't come out to deny it.

What's more, they couldn't wait for Shao Ho to be their Queen. Powerful people would always gain the highest favor.

"Your Highness, Father is here. Please ~" Garuda pushed open a wooden door. In the courtyard stood Yuan Feng, who was dressed in red and had a smile on her face.

Yuan Feng's impetuous aura slowly settled down. She still had a cynical smile on her face. "Your Highness Shao Ho, how have you been?" He reached out and poured a cup of tea for her.

Shao Ho felt a little flattered. Why was he suddenly so serious?

She took a sip of tea and felt that it was good.

"Why didn't you call me Huang?

You didn't change your way of addressing me before. Now you call me Your Highness Shao Ho? "

"I just wanted to tease you, Huang ~"

She couldn't help but laugh when she heard the familiar way of addressing her. "You're not serious. Oh right, I haven't asked you yet. What's up with Kong Xuan's beauty standards?

What does a child look like when she dresses like that? "

He blinked his long and narrow eyes and felt a little incredulous. "Huang, don't you think it looks good?"

Shao Ho was a little confused. Look, look good?

"You're telling me that the colorful feather clothes worn by Kong Xuan look good?

Wait … don't tell me you matched it! "

Yuan Feng raised her chin proudly. "Of course ~"

She looked at Yuan Feng in front of her. He was dressed quite normally. She couldn't tell that he had such a weird sense of beauty. In order not to hurt his self-esteem, she said tactfully, "Xiao Yuanfeng, after all … Kong Xuan is still young. That colorful feather clothes might not be suitable for him."

"But little Kong Xuan likes it too!

He was so happy when I gave him the feather clothes the other day ~ "

Could it be that … this was the legendary weird sense of beauty that would be passed down to the next generation?

"Alright, you're indeed father and son." Shao Ho spread his hands and felt a little helpless. "I made a zither out of the Chinese parasol wood that you gave me previously."

Yuan Feng nodded in understanding. "I know. Didn't you fight with …" He pointed to the sky because of this zither? "Speaking of which, I really envy that zither."

"I heard that he has already transformed?"

Shao Ho pursed his lips happily at the mention of his disciple. There was a smile in his eyes. "Yes, he's a very cute child."

A child who could destroy the primordial world, cough.

"Are you only going to accept this one disciple?"

Yuan Feng held her chin with her hand. Her red sleeve slipped down, revealing her fair and slender wrist. There was even a barely noticeable strangle mark.

She glanced at the mark. Seeing that Yuan Feng was a little flustered, she lowered her head and looked at the teacup, pretending not to see. "Yes, Xiao Hong told me that I'm destined to have a disciple. As for the others, I haven't considered them yet."

Yuan Feng pursed her lips. "Alright ~" She thought that she could shove Kong Xuan over.

Shao Ho was too lazy to return to the Purple Cloud Palace. He was only waiting for the lecture to end to pick up his disciple. "Looks like I'll have to bother you again ~"

He raised his eyebrows and smiled happily. He opened his arms. "Although this is not Qiwu Mountain, it's still open to you anytime."

She rolled her eyes, turned around and left the courtyard.

Seeing Shao He's figure completely disappear from the courtyard, the smile on Yuan Feng's face also gradually disappeared. He lowered his head and rubbed the teacup in his hand. The half of his face hidden in the shadows made it difficult for others to see his expression. The mark on his arm was faintly painful. He raised his head to look at the black clothed man who suddenly appeared beside him.

.....

"Daughter ~"

Shao Ho's forehead twitched when he heard this familiar voice. "Why are you here again?" His tone was full of disdain.

The Great Way Of The Immortal World felt very wronged. "I heard that you've accepted a disciple, so I came to take a look …"

"But there's something wrong with your disciple Xianling …" He had a flash of inspiration. "Isn't this the unlucky person I saw before?"

"Are you saying that my disciple is unlucky?" She smiled eerily.

The Great Way Of The Immortal World: "… No, no, I'm talking about the Crown Prince of the other world, Chang Qin!"

"Huh?

What do you mean? "

"The Crown Prince of the other world, Chang Qin, has been banished to the mortal world. He will never be able to become an Immortal. He is destined to be alone forever."

The Great Way Of The Immortal World couldn't help but sigh. "Oh, that's right. This was an order from the other world's Fuxi."

Shao Ho clenched his fists. He suppressed the urge to go to the Purple Cloud Palace and beat up Fuxi. "Is he okay?" His tone was full of worry.

The Great Way Of The Immortal World was a little jealous. "He's not okay. His Xianling was captured by the human race to refine a sword. Half of his Xianling escaped, but he lost his Life Soul. He can't reincarnate. If he wants to live, he can only reincarnate."

"I don't know why the Xianling that was taken to reincarnate ran into the zither you refined. It seems that you are destined to be master and disciple."

Reincarnate?

Shao Ho couldn't help but tear up. How painful would that be?!

That was her disciple. The Chang Qin of this world was well protected by her and Hongjun even before he transformed. However, the Xianling that originally belonged to him was suffering in the other world.

"Every time he reincarnates his Soul, he has to endure pain that ordinary people can't endure. Not only is it physical, but it is also mental. He is greedy for the warmth of the human world. Every time he reincarnates his Soul, he will return to the family of the previous body. Naturally, humans see him as a monster. He was once burned alive. He was also skinned alive because he reincarnated into an animal."

"As time passes, his memory begins to deteriorate. He has no choice but to engrave his memories in the cave."

Shao Ho couldn't help but interrupt the Great Way Of The Immortal World. His voice was full of heartache. "… Father, can you let me go and see him?"

The Great Way Of The Immortal World had predicted that she would do something like this. They had already built a good relationship with the Great Way Of The Immortal World. "Close your eyes."

Shao Ho closed his eyes. The scene of the Crown Prince Chang Qin being born was still in his mind.
