Chapter 598 - Meeting Chi Xue Again (2/2)

Chi Xue clapped her hands happily, "Exactly!"

Zhong Yue pondered deeply, "Furthermore, the Kun Lun gods will not let the sealing ritual to happen, they will surely descend to the Ancestral Star and sabotage the ritual."

Chi Xue laughed, "Now, do you still want to leave the Ancestral Star?"

Zhong Yue laughed back, "The Ancestral Star is too small for me now, I need a bigger space to grow stronger, and to meet with the more formidable opponents out there in this universe! Chi Xue, nothing can stop me from leaving. When the time Western Mother Empress passes away, and the calamity arrives, the human race will have more than ten human gods, with countless treasures. We will be strong enough to stand on par with you and act as your trusted ally. Furthermore, my two incarnations will be left in the Ancestral Star, they will ascend into deityhood as the same time as me. In addition the the Tian Wu God I've asked to help us, there is nothing much to worry about anymore!"

Rays of inexplicable emotions brought away the lights in Chi Xue's eyes as they flashed past, she sighed and said sadly, "That being said, it's impossible for me to persuade you to stay anymore…"

She only toured Zhong Yue around so she could show him the strengths of their enemies; she didn't want him to go, but as the next Western Mother Empress, she couldn't have openly pleaded him to stay, or to fully rely on him.

Her current identity and status wouldn't allow her to be humble and make requests anymore; thus, she could only show Zhong Yue the threats around the human race, and hopefully Zhong Yue would decide to stay on his own.

But now, Zhong Yue has clearly stated that he has done full preparation for the future, there was no other reasons she could have used to make him stay anymore.

Zhong Yue smiled, "This is not a life and death separation. I will come back to visit you if I survive, I promise you that."

The two of them continued touring around Kun Lun. Suddenly, Zhong Yue stopped when they were treading across a mountain ridge. He looked up and noticed the corner of a well-hidden palace within the woods. He strode toward the palace, and found a few children handling a herb garden beside the palace.

As soon as the children saw the two of them, they scattered away in all directions, running while shouting, "Intruders! Bad guys!"

Zhong Yue stopped one of them, he gave the warmest smile possible and asked, "Is your master home? I am his old friend, please do inform him I am here to visit."

The child's body shuddered as he entered the palace. Moments later, the children walked out of the palace and said, "Master invites the guests into the palace."

Zhong Yue and Chi Xue walked into the palace. There was an old man preparing a cup of tea in the middle of the palace. Although aged, the old man's hands were steadier than the hunters.

The old man waved his hand, and the children moved out of the palace; he invited Zhong Yue and Chi Xue to be seated, and said smilingly, "Little friends, we've meet again. How may I help?"

Chi Xue was puzzled for a second, but was quick to realize, she exclaimed in shock, "The Six Paths Fruit Tree!"

The old man was none other than the Six Paths Fruit Tree, while the children out there were also the cultivated divine herbs. That was why the children were so afraid of Zhong Yue and Chi Xue, feared they would have been captured and consumed.

Six Paths Fruit Tree poured each of them a cup of tea, and Zhong Yue said while smiling, "It's unexpected to have come by to you, of course I will have to pay you a visit. I will be leaving soon, and so I thought, I might as well visit you and say goodbye."

"I see." Six Paths Fruit Tree said, "But you really are a disaster carrier. You could've visited me on your own, why did you bring her along? It may have looked nothing now, but when she grows strong enough, she will hunt for me one day. Guess like I am shifting place again!"

'She' was naturally referring to Chi Xue.

Chi Xue wasn't quite happy as she questioned, "And why would I do that?"

The old man smirked coldly, "You are the future Western Mother Empress. Although you are still weak now, you will one day be stronger than the ordinary gods. By then, you will never allow my Six Paths Fruit be fallen in the hands of others, you will surely catch me for your own use. You aren't as benevolent like the Zhong Shan Clan member. Even if I am not your target, my other divine herb servants will still be taken away from me."

Zhong Yue was dawned, and he apologized, "I'm sorry, I've never thought of this. Please do forgive me, senior."

Whereas Chi Xue never spoke a word, only a cold hum.

Six Paths Fruit Tree smiled, "You are planning to leave? Where to? You've ruined my place, I think I have the rights to demand a new one!"

A thought flashed across Zhong Yue's mind, he smiled in reply, "To a wider, and bigger space. Does senior wants to follow?"

Six Paths Fruit Tree's face changed slightly, but he eventually shook and declined, "The universe is far too big, where should I ever stay in? I refuse."

Zhong Yue could only let go of his newborn plan, he waved goodbye to the Six Paths Fruit Tree, and left with Chi Xue.

The two returned to Chi Xue's place and spent some quality times together. After a few days, Zhong Yue stood up from the soft bed without waking up Chi Xue, and left quietly on his own.

Zhong Yue burnt the incense stick and was ready to return to the Ancestral Star. And suddenly, an old and hoarse voice sounded from behind.

"Little Friend Zhong, you've ruined my house, it's time to pay me one."

"Senior, you…" Zhong Yue asked puzzlingly.

Six Paths Fruit Tree led a few divine herb servants on the front, he sneered coldly and explained, "I don't trust the little Western Mother Empress, if I told her I am leaving, she will surely try many ways to stop me. Thus, I told you I am not leaving, then quietly followed from behind."
