Chapter 114 Searching for the Naga Pearl

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“Xiao Qi wants to marry Jiang Wuyou. How about Madam?”

“Dare you! To say such nonsense!”

“I should be punished.”

Yu Xuanji waved her hands and Xiao Ba left. Xiao Ba felt lucky that she was so ugly that she could keep away from annoyance. If she had the appearance as Madam Xuan who was unfaithful to her husband, Xiao Ba thought it was nothing but a torture to herself and others. After all, Xiao Ba had not fallen in love with others before, and she did not know the feeling of love.

In the moonlight, Yu Xuanji walked through the corridor to steal a glance at Xiao Qi. On the paper window, a man’s side face appeared. Yu Xuanji drew the outline of the face. The candlelight flicked. Xiao Qi pulled up the lampwick. The blue flame shone the man more handsome. He leaned against the soft couch and stretched his muscles and bones. He was burned with jealousy. Xiao Qi made tea for himself which had been brewed in the hot water. Open the mouth and he could feel the spring aura in the vapor. Xiao Qi tasted the tea, bitter and sweet. He closed his eyes to after taste. Yu Xuanji felt a bit bitter in her heart, because after some days, the man was going to marry another woman. Yu Xuanji had thought she could put him down lightly and would not allow lovesickness to hurt her. However, when she was trapped deep in it, she could not do the things of her own will. Outside the window, the woman leaned against the door, listening to the man inside quietly. Yu Xuanji held her breath. When letting out a sigh, she realized that her mood was affected by the man. The moon hung high in the sky. Xiao Ba let out a long sigh at the woman. She had some sympathy for Madam Xuan, because Madam Xuan had to commit herself to others for power, but was helpless when encountering her true love.

After leaving the Fairy Kingdom, Wuyou would go to the fire tribe. When revisiting the old place, Wuyou felt that the things were still there, but men were no more the same ones. Standing on the tower again, the little gatekeeper looked Xu Linghe up and down and thought that he was not a person of the fire tribe. Wuyou lowered her head down. The little gatekeeper became alert. The more he looked at Wuyou, the more familiar he felt. The gatekeeper gave a signal and left in a hurry.

“Please wait for a moment.”

The little officer was rather polite. When the gatekeeper hurried back out of breath, the little officer opened the city gate and the gatekeeper murmured to him. The little officer changed from surprise to smile full on his face, and escorted Wuyou and Xu Linghe to the gate of palace. But only taking several steps, they could see familiar figures coming from afar. Phoenix smiled. In the morning light, she looked more gorgeous in palace suit. She had a better-shaped figure after delivering the baby. Su Chenyang held the child in his arms, beards appearing on the corners of his mouth. The little baby looked around and giggled at the sight of the strange aunt. Wuyou felt softer in her heart. What a lovely child!

“Why don’t you take Xiao Douya with you?”

“Xiao Douya does not feel well.”

Phoenix was a bit disappointed since she had planned to find a playmate for her child. However, it was good to see Little Fox here. Phoenix talked about domestic trifles with Wuyou. The woman who once had fiery temper became gentle now. Now and then, Phoenix looked at Su Chenyang affectionately. Wuyou giggled at her. Perhaps it was what it looked like when a woman married her beloved one. Su Chenyang and Xu Linghe were congenial. They seemed to have a lot to talk about. When the delicious food was served on the table, Phoenix put colored glaze cup on the table and filled cherry blossom for Wuyou. Phoenix was a woman from a foreign tribe, and she drank the wine nicely. Wuyou had mastered Jie Fei’s true drinking capability when she was three-years-old. So compared with Phoenix, Wuyou’s liquor capability was higher. After drinking a cup of wine, Phoenix broadened into a brighter smile. After her father submitted to Chidi, Phoenix was not happy. Today, she met Little Fox and got rid of low spirits. All she wanted was to drink freely with great joviality. Wuyou knew Phoenix’s sadness that Phoenix and Phoenix’s father had lived on each other, but he became other’s servant finally and betrayed the faith. How could Phoenix not be sad?

“Perhaps Xiao Douya is three years old. He was once as small as a mouse.”

Phoenix gesticulated. Thinking the scene when she helped to welcome the little newborn, Phoenix could not help sighing with emotion.

“My child is suffering naga poison.”

Wuyou took another sip, hoping to dilute the sorrow in her heart. However, she drank so quickly that her tears dropped uncontrollably. She was worried about her child, not knowing what to do if the poison inside Xiao Douya showed effect next time. Wuyou once planned to use the Heavenly Book to save Xiao Douya, but could not get her husband’s agreement. Because Granny Moon said it would put Xiao Douya in a dangerous place. In the three realms, dark sides surged. To get the Heavenly Book, three parties had allied. Even if Xiao Douya had the power of Heavenly Book but did not have the power to control it, it could lead fatal death to him. So Wuyou had to find other treatment. And the only thing to cure it was naga’s pearl. Not until Wuyou had saved Jie Fei did she know naga was still alive. She had to find naga pearl as soon as possible so that her child could suffer less bone-piercing pains.

“Do you still remember the little flying serpent?”

“Xiao Qi’s spiritual pet.” Wuyou felt unhappy to mention Xiao Qi.

“I’ve killed the flying serpent. See, the naga pearl looks good…”

Phoenix took naga pearl from Xuzhong. Under the sun, the pearl shone seven-colored spirit lights. Wuyou touched it, tears full of her eyes, because her child could be saved. Phoenix giggled at Wuyou’s caution, but she did not know Wuyou’s mood. The naga pearl meant a lot to her child. Ming Zhu made Wuyou once blind while Ming Zhu’s pearl could save Xiao Douya’s life one day. It was the so-called punitive justice. When Phoenix knew that little fox would marry Xu Linghe again on 6th day next month, Phoenix was wild with joy. Being little fox’s best sister, Phoenix would go to witness the ceremony for sure. When Phoenix held a marriage ceremony, Nascent Soul did not come. So, Phoenix did not want Little Fox to be lonely. However, Phoenix did not know that Little Fox had already had her family members. Women enjoyed cherry blossoms wine (the author loved flower wine) while men drank strong liquor. Any genial and elegant man would become bold after drinking some wine. Xu Linghe changed a bigger cup to booze with Su Chenyang. How could women understand the hectic friendship between men? Wuyou put her cup down and served for Xu Linghe. Her husband had few bosom friends. It was lucky for her husband to have a friend like Su Chenyang. Phoenix smirked at her husband and extended her hands to flick Su Chenyang’s hair, but was stopped by Wuyou. It seemed that the capacity for liquor had to be trained. Phoenix did not have the talent but just did something crazy after drinking the wine. Su Chenyang was quite worried about Phoenix and fixed his eyes on her. Wuyou helped Phoenix into the inner hall. Sometimes women needed to drink to the heart’s content and relieved the burden in the heart. Wuyou knew Phoenix’s sticking point. As long as Nascent Soul did not do things that were against reason and nature, Wuyou would not hurt him. Outside the room, men drank happily. Perhaps it was that a thousand cups of wine were not too many when drinking with close friends. Wuyou loved what her husband was now. It was the real Xu Linghe. Wuyou stared at him quietly. It had been a long time since she fixed her eyes on him last time. Outside, the man felt the woman’s warmth and filled the cup with more wine. No matter how far they were, they could feel each other’s affection.

When waking up in the morning, Phoenix could not stop her complaints. Her face was pale without any blood. Wuyou sat on the soft couch, listening to the woman’s nagging. In the mirror, the woman’s hair disheveled, and a little maidservant did up Phoenix’s hair. Phoenix felt her head aching terribly, so her hand patted her forehead continuously, a drunken leftover. Wuyou smiled merrily.

“Dissolute smile!”

The woman’s words were so startling. It seemed that a married woman was so thick-skin. Wuyou leaned forward to see whether Phoenix’s face turned red or not. Phoenix turned around and painted the rouge on Wuyou’s face all.

“This is ground powder of sea pearl. It is so moist. Look at you. Your old face needs to be moistened.”

Phoenix was courting death! A woman would doll herself up for the one who loved her. There was a dead silence behind. Even for a while, there was no sound.

“Am I really old?”

Since her skin had been damaged by naga’s venom, Wuyou felt inferior in her heart, but she lived for her child strongly. Only when she wore a mask could she face the reality. Even if she had restored her appearance, there was still a scar in her heart. Phoenix’s words reminded Wuyou of those helpless days when inferiority hovered around her every day. Perhaps only time could heal the wound.

“Little Fox is the most beautiful female fox in the world. I swear.”

Phoenix tittered with joy. It was worthwhile to have a bosom friend who could accompany you no matter you’re sad or happy. When the two got dressed well, it had been late in the morning.

In the hall, men were busied with preparing food. Wuyou sat close to her husband. And Phoenix fed her child. Her child was eager to the food, her mouth keeping chewing. However, Phoenix did not send food to her. Wuyou even felt sad for the child. Having a Phoenix as her mother meant that the child had to rely on herself early. Otherwise, she could have vain rejoice. Su Chenyang turned livid because his wife treated the child as a toy. On the other hand, the little child did not give in, her hands clenching the little spoon, and compared with her mother on obsession. After a while, the meal finished. The child burst out crying, and the ground was in a mess. Su Chenyang let out a long sigh and could not calm himself down. But perhaps it was happiness. Doing the childish thing with the beloved one. Xu Linghe held the woman’s hands tightly. They had great difficulty being together and sustaining their love for each other. Without little woman, what would Xu Linghe be? Only the person who had experienced the parting torture could cherish each other more. Love had penetrated into each other’s bones and blood. Xu Linghe felt lucky that he could meet the little woman. No matter what the future would be, he would walk on with her hand in hand.

It was getting closer to the day to return Kunlun. Phoenix was unwilling to let Little Fox leave and to leave when seeing Wuyou off. However, men’s friendship was quite opposite, different from women’s sensibility. Su Chenyang said he would come to Kunlun to find Xu Linghe and get good and drunk with him at that time. Men were always rational. Even if they were brothers experiencing life and death, they only revealed the real self after drinking wine. Women were different. Tears could soothe women’s mood and was the products of women’s true feelings.

(Author said, “I like the products of true feelings, tears of joy and tears of grief. It can indicate that you’re a real woman to live a true life and never forget why you started. Never allow the mortal life to cover your heart. Tears are pure and the most powerful counterattack to indifference. I hate indifferent heart most. No matter how many sufferings you’ve gone through, you should not forget the pureness of your heart.”)

The two landed off the clouds. Xiao Douya threw himself into his mother’s arms. She had not seen him for days, but Xiao Douya looked more vigorous. Wuyou rest assured when Xiao Douya was cared about by Granny Moon. Wuyou held her child up. Xu Linghe was asked to stay by Shenzong. Wuyou knew that her husband was the Sect Master and had his responsibility, so she flew to Ao Ze. Granny Moon’s wing room was on the south whose window was covered with roses. Wuyou knocked at the door gently, but no answer. Wuyou pushed the door open. A smell of medicine fragrance floated out. Through the door, Wuyou saw Granny Moon bending and busy with something in the backyard. Perhaps Granny Moon had been occupied with it for a long time, and she kept slapping her back. Granny Moon did worry about Xiao Douya, and she decocted medicinal herbs in the early morning.

“Granny, have a rest.”

“Xiaoyou, you’ve come back. Have you met the Fairy King?” (Here the Fairy King referred to Xu Linghe’s grandfather.)

“Granny.” Wuyou held the naga pearl. Changxi certainly knew it. The little pearl fell on her hands, and Changxi’s fingers trembled slightly.

“My great-grandchildren can be saved.”

Granny Moon did make Wuyou moved. Granny Moon had devoted herself to saving Xiao Douya. How could Wuyou not move? To suppress naga poison and protect Xiao Douya’s body from being damaged, Ganny tested the medicine herself.

“Granny, I can’t pay back your great kindness.”

“He is my great-grandson.”

Changxi answered lightly. Wuyou knew that Granny was kind. Even the patient was a stranger, she would try her best to treat him/her.

“Great grandma.”

Xiao Douya threw himself into Changxi’s arms, and Changxi felt his pulse.

“Let great grandma look at your little teeth.”

Xiao Douya opened his mouth. The little seven-colored naga’s pearl fell on his little mouth. Changxi condensed Spirit Power to protect Xiao Douya’s heart meridian.
