Chapter 851 - Ancient Covenant (2/2)

Zhong Yue endured the pain coming from his waist and without changing his expression, he stubbornly denied, "You are hearing things."

"I'm certain that I've heard it!" said a confused Hua Qianwen.

Jun Sixie twisted even more and she added as she smiled and gritted, "You're married? Why didn't you tell me so I can prepare some gifts for you?"

"Goddess is asking us to go inside."

Zhong Yue's clothes were soaked wet by his cold sweat and he forced a smile, "We must not keep her waiting for too long."

Jun Sixie moved her hand away from his waist and humphed coldly while the confused Hua Qianwen proceeded to lead the way in. Zhong Yue felt slightly relieved and just as he thought that this suffering moment was over, Qiu Jin'er stared at his side face and said softly, "When did senior martial brother get married? I've never met senior martial sister-in-law yet… Is she pretty?"

Zhong Yue's sweat began to seep through his clothes as he felt that the stares from the two ladies were sharp needles piercing through his heart. He immediately explained, "It's fake, it's all made up…."

Hua Qianwen on the other hand, feeling nothing at all and she answered, "The whole world knows about their wedding and the 24 monarch races even attended their wedding. The husband and wife also visited the 24 monarch races and thanked them personally. How can it be fake?"

Zhong Yue shot her a deathly glare, which intimidated Hua Qianwen from talking again as she thought in confusion, Did I say something wrong?

Zhong Yue cried bitterly inside and thought, Goddess Shen Hou definitely sent his girl to welcome me on purpose! She speaks way too fast and she can not keep any secrets at all! No wonder Goddess Shen Hou wanted her to erase her own memories or she would've revealed everything!

With everything happened, the very short journey into the palace turned seemed to drag on for eternity as Zhong Yue felt a very heavy pressure weighing on him.

Finally, after enduring the angry and sad stares from Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin'er respectively, Zhong Yue finally saw Goddess Shen Hou who said, "Boy, you are finally here! Never have I expected that the young boy from the lower realms would become the infamous Mister Yi!"

Zhong Yue removed his disguise and greeted, "Greetings, Goddess Shen Hou. I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for your help, Goddess Shen Hou. I am forever in your debt."

"Why did you get married now?"

Goddess Shen Hou asked, "I know that the lady from Yinkang Clan is compatible with you in all ways but it was still a bit rushed, wasn't it? Ever since the ancient times, the leader of Fuxi Celestial Race and Huaxu Clan's Nuwa have been destined to get married, this is a tradition that has been passed down from the ancient days. I've been planning to have Qianwen to you after she took over the Nuwa position but you have gotten married before that! You've gone against the covenant."

Zhong Yue was stunned and he replied, "Please stop joking, Goddess Shen Hou."

"I'm not, I'm being dead serious here. Nuwa has always been Fuxi's wife, this is an ancient covenant set up by both clans and it must be followed at all times. I still have the contract of the ancient covenant secured in the treasury. I can prove it to you anytime. Now that you are the Fuxi's leader in this generation, Qianwen will marry no one else but you. Our Huaxu Clan's position is on par with Yinkang Clan, if not even higher than them so Qianwen must not be a mistress or you will humiliate us!"

Goddess Shen Hou said with a smile, "Although, you can have two main wives, and there has been precedent from the ancient times. By that time, Qianwen and the girl from Yinkang Clan can be the main wives. Is this arrangement acceptable to you?"

Zhong Yue turned around and looked at the ladies standing behind him immediately, only to see Jun Sixie smiling sweetly at him. Hua Qianwen looking at him confusingly and Qiu Jin'er only looked at him sadly. In an instant, Zhong Yue's dried up clothes became soaked in sweat again.

"Well, it's not like you'll really survive that long. Let us talk about something else."

Goddess Shen Hou burst out laughing upon seeing Zhong Yue's face, "Look at the scaredy-cat Mister Yi! Oh right, you have a daughter here staying with me right now, do you want to see her?"

Zhong Yue's face turned pale right away and he shouted, "Daughter? How come I know nothing about this daughter of mine? Who is she?"

Goddess Shen Hou replied, "You've replaced Liyang's identity, inheriting his name while he became a daughter of Huaxu, walked around with Huaxu's identity so it's normal that she is now your daughter. Her name is Hua Nuxi."

Zhong Yue's heart that almost jumped out from his mouth calm down again as he asked, "I used Li Yang's identity so I can only be considered as her junior martial brother. How can I make her my daughter? Goddess, please stop fooling with me."

Goddess Shen Hou looked at him and said, "Because of you, the conflicts and hostility he caused are now shouldered by you. Thus, he owes you this, it's not over for him to be your daughter. However, this is all up to the two of you to decide. Now, what do you want from me?"

Zhong Yue's sweat soaked his back, the trip to Huaxu was really a frightening experience. He said softly, "I hope to see Goddess's true form and cultivate the Innate Celestial Dao.

Goddess Shen Hou smiled, "Oh yes, to cultivate the Innate Celestial Dao, you need to meet a celestial monarch. Stay with me for sometime, I will let you study my movements and see if you can cultivate it."

Zhong Yue immediately thanked.

"There are also the reincarnated ancient paragons in the Huaxu Clan, it's best that you put your disguise of Mister Yi back on." Goddess Shen Hou said.

Zhong Yue recovered his Mister Yi disguise and followed right beside them as he thought, Thank god Goddess was there or it'd be difficult to explain things to Jin'er and Senior Martial Sister Jun. I'll explain furthermore once they cool down.

Then, Goddess Shen Hou looked at the girls and said, "You two will come too, I will teach you two as well."

Zhong Yue's face turned dark and gloomy, he thought, Goddess is surely doing this on purpose now!
