839 Blood Snow Fills the Sky (2/2)
”Son, your father is back.”
The Heavenly Secret Saint Sovereign had gone to the Endless Sea. He went there to search for information for the Hidden Dragon Royal Court, spending dozens of years doing so. Mo Liuji had become a good-looking man from a three-year-old toddler.
Anyway… This time, when Mo Tianji came back, the entire world had changed.
”You're not my father. You're just the Heavenly Secret Saint Sovereign…” Mo Liuji said with a cold face. He added, ”Granny Mo is gone. The Heavenly Star Catcher Disk is destroyed. And… the Heavenly Secret Saintess is wounded really bad. She's dying… As a matter of fact, she almost died.”
Mo Tianji clasped his hands, calmly listening to Mo Liuji.
Compared to Mo Liuji, he looked more mature. He had experienced years of vicissitudes.
”I know… Everything you said had been predicted by Granny Mo. In the past, she protected the Heavenly Secret Holy Land and sent the Heavenly Secret Saintess away to protect the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk. Anyway, Granny Mo was old. There were many things she couldn't see clearly…” said Mo Tianji.
Granny Mo wanted to die, and now Mo Tianji told Mo Liuji that Granny Mo's death was meaningful.
Granny Mo had brought up Mo Liuji. At this moment, the grief in his heart burst out. He kneeled, sobbing.
He hated his weak cultivation base. He hated himself for being useless.
Mo Tianji sighed. He walked forward and raised his hand to rub Mo Liuji's head.
”It's alright… Dad's home. As long as I still have one breath left, those filthy animals from the Netherworld can't touch the Heavenly Secret Holy Land.
”I will go there to pick up the Saintess. We must take her back. Don't cry, child. You've done a good job.”
The Heavenly Secret Saint Sovereign talked gently, his words soothing the other's soul.
Mo Liuji was really tired. Immediately, his eyelids felt heavy. He couldn't help but close his eyes and lie on the ground, breathing steadily.
Mo Tianji hugged Mo Liuji's body, hushing and snuggling him like a sleeping baby.
After a while, he stepped forward. His body floated up, slowly flying toward the Heavenly Secret Main Hall.
…
Bu Fang gently exhaled. He actually fumed white smoke.
He balled his body on the chair, watching the big snowflakes fluttering in the sky. The heavy snow had a blood-red color that amazed him.
The temperature suddenly declined. It was wintertime.
Bu Fang wore a velvet robe. Curling up on his chair, he felt warm and cozy.
It was warm inside the restaurant. Under the Path-Understanding Tree, Lord Dog was fast asleep. Nethery was holding a glass of Sour Plum Juice, drinking contentedly.
Flowery, who was sitting beside Nethery on the deck of the Netherworld Ship, was also holding a glass of Sour Plum Juice. Both of them dangled their fine, white legs as they sipped on their drinks.
Chu Changsheng drew a chair, sitting next to Bu Fang. His long, white hair fanned, which made him look really handsome.
”Today… It actually changed so fast. Owner Bu, it's so cold today. Should we end our business hours early?” Chu Changsheng turned to Bu Fang, talking with a smile.
Bu Fang cast Chu Changsheng a sidelong glance, saying nothing.
Chu Changsheng laughed loudly.
The snowflakes fell, piling in front of their door. The blood snow made people's hearts even colder.
The Valley of Gluttony had begun to repair itself. Although the damage was serious, the recovery this time went well and orderly. As they had experienced it already, the recovery was really smooth.
The long street of the Valley of Gluttony was repaired. The restaurants and inns on both sides were rebuilt as well.
The Phoenix Pavilion, which was opposite to the Taotie Restaurant, had completely recovered. Anyway, they didn't have many customers.
Because of that incident and the heavy blood snow, their business had turned so awful.
Many restaurants had closed early, and their staff gathered around braziers to warm themselves.
Mu Chen wrapped herself in a thick fur coat. However, she wore a short dress, which exposed her sexy and creamy thighs.
She marched, hurriedly heading to Owner Bu's Taotie Restaurant.
Noodle King Ouyang Chenfeng clasped his hands as he walked forward.
Many chefs were about to visit Bu Fang's restaurant for a little chat.
These days, because their business wasn't really good, they were kind of free. As they didn't have many things to do, they gathered to chat.
They came to the restaurant, ordering the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine and some dishes to enjoy while talking to each other.
Wenren Shang had put his bamboo flask aside to run to Bu Fang's restaurant. Making a comparison, he found the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine tasted better.
A long time later…
Today's business hours were over.
Bu Fang asked the others to leave. Stretching his sore back, he opened his fur coat and slowly walked out of the kitchen.
He pulled the wooden door, which squeaked as it had a tinge of old age, and climbed the stairs. With creaking sounds, he walked to the corridor.
He pushed his door.
In his room, starlight was twinkling.
The Heavenly Secret Saintess Ni Yan laid on his bed. Starlight enhanced her exquisite, beautiful appearance, which was pretty but somehow pitiful.
This pitiful beauty actually looked calm.
This woman… was she still unconscious?
Bu Fang frowned, walking to the bed. His slender, white finger pulled Ni Yan's eyelids apart. He stared at her eyes for a while.
Although Bu Fang made a gentle nod, he didn't actually know when this woman would wake up.
Bu Fang exhaled.
He took off his velvet coat and hung it on the clothes rack at the corner of the room.
He rubbed his hair, then headed to the bathroom. A moment later, the sound of water echoed from the bathroom.
