Chapter 1301 What is the relationship? (1/2)

Zhao Mushen evidently fell into a state of bewilderment when he knelt on one knee because he realized it wasn’t an external force that pulled him to his knee, but it was a power that originated in his body’s depths. That power was very familiar to him because it was that power that made him undergo many transformations.

It was his Taotie Blessing.

But it was that power that made him unhesitatingly kneel down when he touched the little thing in his hands.

Even Su Youwei’s and Wu Yao’s mouths fell open and their eyes widened with shock.

Having worked with Zhao Mushen for the past two years, they knew how arrogant he was and that it was impossible to make him obey someone from the bottom of his heart. He would rather die than to compromise. This was why they were filled with disbelief to see Zhao Mushen suddenly dropped down to one knee.

However, the two women, who were incredibly intelligent, very quickly shifted their gaze to the little beast he was still firmly holding with both hands even if he knelt down on one knee.

“That's... Tuntun?” Su Youwei exclaimed. She recognized the cute little beast that accompanied Zhou Yuan everywhere in the Great Zhou City.

Tuntun snapped awake from his drowsy state and blinked his sleep shrouded eyes as he stared at Zhao Mushen’s blank face. A strange thought flashed across his eyes. He seemed to notice a special connection between them.

He was the Ancestor Taotie and also the only one in the world.

The world was mysterious and many magical things happened in the world. The Taotie Blessing within Zhao Mushen’s body was born from an Alpha Holy Beast like Ancestor Taotie. Therefore, the two, in a sense, were from the same origin, even if they had never come into contact before.

However, once the two met, they would know of everything as though enlightened.

Zhou Yuan worriedly looked at Zhao Mushen, who still hadn't recovered from his shock after a long while. He wouldn't be too affected by an ancestor descending and turned stupid, right? He could still get back up after I trampled him back then. He isn't this weak is he?

Zhou Yuan’s relationship with Zhao Mushen was quite complicated because although they should be considered enemies, they had worked together in Huyuan Heaven. Therefore, Zhou Yuan would generously tolerate him until he showed hostility.

Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand to bring back Tuntun, who was still tightly held in Zhao Mushen’s hands.

But just as Zhou Yuan reached his hands towards Zhao Mushen, Zhao Mushen rapidly slid back a few meters on one knee and the blank look on his face faded. He focussed his gaze on Tuntun, who was still in his hands, and a respectful and affectionate smile lit up his face.

”Ancestor Taotie, I am really blessed and fortunate to meet you in this life.” Zhao Mushen spoke in the most gentle voice that Zhou Yuan, Su Youwei, and Wu Yao had never heard from him before.

But his words made many thoughts flashed to their minds, and then, their gazes turned a little strange as they stared at Zhao Mushen.

Zhao Mushen ignored them and he simply stared intently at Tuntun. His usually cold and arrogant face appeared exceptionally gentle and kind.

This was because he felt indescribable emotions pouring out from his heart’s depths when he touched Tuntun. The emotions were similar to when he saw his family. Zhao Mushen didn’t resist those emotions because his Blessing power was what changed his life and destiny, as well as became his supporting pillar when he was trampled into mud.

He was extremely grateful for that power even if he didn’t know what the source of that power was. But now he did.

Zhao Mushen stared mesmerized at Tuntun as though every hair on Tuntun's body exuded dazzling light, mystery and power.

Tuntun also curiously surveyed Zhao Mushen. He similarly felt a closeness to Zhao Mushen. He took out a stone slab, swiped his claws over it, and lifted the stone slab. “You’re not bad. Be my little brother!”

Zhao Mushen gave an adoring smile. “If Ancestor Taotie has any orders, I, Zhao Mushen, will do my best to complete them.”

His answer was incredibly natural and he didn’t seem unhappy or resisting.
