C86 (2/2)
”Of course.” Madame Fu bowed once again. Of course she knew whose grave Xiu'er wanted to see.
This time, the two of them did not go through the main entrance. Instead, they walked around the main hall, through the back door, and arrived at a small hill. On the southern side of the mountain, there was a small grave. There were no words on the grave, only a small flower ring hanging obliquely from the corner of the grave. The flowers had not withered yet, and one could see that there was someone usually taking care of this small mound.
”Because her body is already — so this is just a tomb. The reason why I chose the south side is because if she is able to see the sky, she can also see her hometown in the south. ” Madame Fu explained softly.
Xiu'er nodded slightly towards her. ”Thank you.”
When the two of them were about thirty meters away from the grave mound, Madame Fu stopped. She no longer advanced and left some space for the young girl who was already staggering.
Xiu'er stood in front of the monument and thought for a while, then she lightly sat down. She didn't know what to call this woman, and she really didn't know what the relationship between her and this woman was. Mother and daughter? Even the other one? She was the fetus in this woman's stomach, as well as the body of this woman. Ordinary humans had no way of resisting the powerful pressure of the two divine beasts, causing the mother and fetus to be crushed into a new life, and the bloodlines of the two divine beasts allowed this life to survive.
So, what did she count as? Was it a mother or a child? Not even human at all? Now that she thought about it, there was a reason why Huo Yanrann wanted to kill him at that time. She might not have been able to differentiate between the blood of the Qiong Qi and the blood of the Phoenix, but she could tell that it was definitely because the Phoenix bloodline in her body had attracted her, and even made her feel threatened, which was why she wanted to kill him. If not for Kong Sheng and the pressure from his Moqiu Army, he would have been dead by then. Died in confusion, it didn't seem like a bad thing.
Then, she thought of Kong Sheng, that serious but foolish man. What should she do with him? If they met again, what should they call him? Xiu'er suddenly wanted to laugh, but tears flowed down his face. Previously, Madame Fu said that she could become the master of this world, but if she really were to do so, the first enemy she would face would be this stubborn man, right?
Kong Sheng treated her like his own father, so she could not treat him as her enemy.
Returning back from the hill, the two of them returned back to the main hall. Madame Fu asked again, ”Your Highness, what should we do now?”
Xiu'er slowly shook her head, as she gently said the two words ”Watching by the side”.
Madame Fu was stunned, ”Why? Aren't you going to get promoted? With your bloodline's coercion, all of your Demonic Beast Clan will definitely follow suit. ”
Xiu'er smiled at her. ”Does that mean I can only rely on bloodline pressure?”
Madame Fu hurriedly stood up and bowed. ”I have offended you, Your Highness, please do not blame me.”
”I don't blame you for that. I was just thinking too much.” Xiu'er waved her hand and sighed, ”I have seen too much and learned too much during this trip to Mo Qiu. Whether it was the unity of Mo Qiu or the unity of the Fire Phoenix, the people who ended up suffering and dying are just the common people. The people did not know that Taotieh, Qiong Qi, and phoenix existed in reality, so they treated it as a legend. If I were to tell ordinary people that I have gathered all three great bloodlines in one body, I would overthrow Fire Phoenix Empire and return them to the world. What do you think they'll do? Did she laugh and ignore us as fools, or did she just tie us up and go to the press? If so, what should we do? To kill all these people who dare to laugh at us? If that was the case, then what was the difference between a world that could rely on slaughter and those outside? And once you lose, would your Demonic Beast Clan, which has been hiding in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, still be able to stay? ”
She knew that she was too agitated. There was a violent side to her Demonic Beast Clan in the first place, and her long time of restraint and patience had forced them to suppress their ruthless side. However, there was still a gap for them to release it, which would erupt with a power that was ten times or a hundred times stronger. But then what? After this battle, how many innocent humans and Demonic Beast Clan people would have to die? A few Demonic Beast Clan in the first place, could they still exist in this world? Even if he succeeded, what was the point? He had only changed the ruler of this continent. How was this any different from his current Fire Phoenix Empire and Moqiu State?
Could it be that he just wanted to be the ruler of a continent? Thinking of this, the Madame Fu was covered in cold sweat.
”Then Your Highness, what do you mean?” Madame Fu asked Xiu'er, trembling slightly.
Xiu'er shook her head helplessly, ”I don't know either. It was only a moment ago that I found out about my background.
”Yes ~ I'm worried ~ ~” Madame Fu apologized again, ”How about we arrange for you to rest first? We arranged a banquet tonight. Everyone knows that you're here, so they are all looking forward to meeting you.”
Seeing that Xiu'er had agreed to it with a nod, she stood up again to lead the way. The two of them went to the front and front of an elegant courtyard. Madame Fu smiled at Xiu'er and said, ”This place is the temporary residence for Your Highness. Your Highness should rest for a while, I will come again in the evening to invite you. ”
Xiu'er smiled back in return and turned to push open the door to enter the courtyard. Just as Madame Fu was about to turn around and leave, she was suddenly stopped by Xiu'er.
”What orders does Your Highness have?” Madame Fu had a puzzled expression.
Xiu'er bit her lower lip, and said with a hint of determination: ”If you want to introduce me tonight, tell them, my surname is Kong, my name is Kong Xiu.”
