Seven Unfortunate Lifetimes Chapter 45.2 (1/2)

Chapter 45 part 2

“I didn’t given birth to you! I didn’t given birth to you!”

Yan country’s officials are extremely believers. Yan country is known for the saying that a crazy child will bring misfortune. Presumably this concubine has been banished by the emperor to the cold palace after giving birth to silly Chu Kong. Her whole life can be regarded as ruined. No wonder she hates her own child so much. But it happens that her son is the only one she can rely on……

The woman suddenly stood up and came out. She slapped meatball Kong on his face, her sharp nails left three bloodstains on the child’s face. Although the child is somewhat stupid, he still knows pain. Big tears fell out of his eyes on his whole face: “Mother……”

“How good will it be if I didn’t give birth to you?!”

The woman began to beat him uncontrollably.

“How good will it be if you didn’t come to this world?! Go away! Go away……”

I let my body be visible. I stand before Chu Kong and grabbed the woman’s wrist. I glared at her: “Children aren’t here to let you vent your anger on.”

I continued: “I’m really sorry that he came out of your belly. Since you don’t care for him, I’ll care for him.”

I let go of her hand. The woman’s body went soft and slumped on the ground: “Ghost……ghost!”

“I’m not a ghost.”

Before I finished talking, that person breathed fast, her eyes turned white and fainted.

I didn’t care about her, squatted down and touched meatball Kong disrupted hair. His eyes rested on the purple pearl. I didn’t hesitate, took it down and put it on Chu Kong’s chest. The one immortal soul and four mortal souls floated out and entered meatball Kong’s body. I saw his dull eyes changed and showing a bit of smartness.

I wear the purple pearl once again. I took out a handkerchief to wipe his face full of blood and tears. I said: “From today on, you’re called Chu Kong and is someone cultivating to be an immortal. I’m called Xiao Xiang and am……your s.h.i.+fu.”

He didn’t say anything and I also don’t know what to say anymore. I put my hand out in front of him. He stared at it blankly for half an incense stick before he put his meaty hand in my palm. I gripped his hand, smiled and said: “Let’s see if you can escape my palm in this lifetime, hehehe he.”

Chu Kong isn’t fit to live in crowded places right now. Besides, he’s a prince. It won’t be sure that in the future the struggle of the court won’t harm him. I simply took him to the forest to live there safely.

On the foot of Lu Hua Mountain I built a house and live there with Chu Kong. With one more immortal soul and four mortal souls, Chu Kong is much smarter than before. I taught him how to read. I write down all the spells that Chu Kong taught me before for him to practice. But he still learns slowly. I can’t help but feel impatient. This lifetime he is just a human. What will I do if he hasn’t cultivated into an immortal, but has already died? After all, I’ll be alive, living forever. I still have to search. The longer I am together with Chu Kong, the more afraid I’m that he’ll be gone again.

Time pa.s.ses quietly with me being a worried guardian. Chu Kong is already ten years old. There is still one mortal and one immortal soul left before Chu Kong’s soul will be complete.

But I don’t know why, Chu Kong has become increasingly against cultivation. He used all means to be lazy and played with all kinds of demons on the mountain. One time, a tree demon helped him write a talisman and he went to play with the tiger demon in town. He didn’t return for two days. I was worried searched for him for two whole days. On the third day I saw him hobbling back refreshed. Blood shot to my eyes. I looked at him with a pale face: “Where have you been?”

Chu Kong’s happy face stiffened. He looked at me afraid: “Xiao Xiang……”

I rustled my hand through my hair. I stood up, snapped a leg of a chair and hold it tightly in my hand. With a calm tone I said: “Come here, we’ll have some talk.”

Chu Kong took a step back, startled. I slowly walked to him and squatted down. I asked: “Say, with whom you went play? Where did you go play?”

He tweaked for a long time and finally, weakly admitted under my forced eyes: “The town below the mountain…….together with Da Hua.”
