570 The Hundred Years’ Love (2/2)
In regard to Wang Wu, it was probably the same. Tightly held by her, Wang Lu could even hear her heartbeat.
Silent descended on all around them. However, in this silence, the atmosphere became more and more awkward. Wang Lu stood quietly, but his heart became more and more disorderly.
Just then, suddenly, there was a cry from the thick grass.
This cry broke the silence, but also broke their reveries. Wang Wu took advantage of that situation to withdraw her arms, took a few steps toward the source of the sound, looked down, and then let out a tsk sound.
It was that baby.
When Wang Lu looked at the baby, he felt a pain in the ass. The child bestowing ritual was originally meant to use the communication channel to probe out Heaven. From the very beginning, they did not take this child bestowing ritual seriously.
The conditions required for the baby to be bestowed were that the couple must really love each other, and must also have intimate behavior. However, how could they satisfy these two conditions? At least, Wang Lu estimated that it was possible to open a communication channel with Heaven. However, to let Heaven recognize the relationship between the two and give them a child was really a joke.
As a result, the child bestowing ritual had been twisted, and the original purpose of the ritual could be said as exceeding much more than expected. They were able to mostly feel out Heaven, but the thing that they first thought of as a joke, had finally become real.
”What should we do?” After a long time, Wang Lu decided to kick the ball at Wang Wu.
Wang Wu was originally shocked by this baby's affair, but gradually, she recovered her usual agile posture. She walked around the baby, thought about it, and then suddenly walked forward boldly to pick up the baby.
Looking at this from the side, Wang Lu was startled. This baby was actually a big trouble for them, but unexpectedly, Wang Wu actually took the initiative to pick it up? Could it be that after the two generations' love affair, her maternal instinct suddenly erupted?
This was totally unreasonable. Regardless of his past and present life, his impression of Wang Wu was that, she was totally immune to motherhood. She could be a genius enlightened person, a persistent cultivator, or a maverick who did not give a damn toward the worldly customs, but she could never be a good wife and loving mother!
Just as Wang Lu was deeply impressed with this development, Wang Wu's finger had just touched the baby, and after a hiccup sound, the baby disappeared!
Both of them were stunned. However, Wang Lu quickly understood the situation and said, ”There's no way the immortal dreamland could create life out of thin air! No way to create a true living person!”
The so-called creating life out of thin air, in other words, was an artificial life. Instead of going through the natural way of unity of Yin and Yang, it was a synthetic life by means of alchemy and refining. And this life out of thin air was a miracle puzzle that has been plaguing the immortal cultivation world for many years, and had been proven to be impossible to achieve.
As for all the creatures in the group of immortal tombs, they were essentially just parts of the immortal dream, and it was not too much to state that they were just fakes. In this immortal dreamland, the child bestowing ritual was basically the merging of the characteristics of two imaginary lives, to create a new imaginary life. However, Wang Wu and Wang Lu were real living beings. They did not possess the characteristics of imaginary lives. Extracting the characteristics of both of them to create life would only result in a virtual image, which would disappear once in contact with a living being.
As for the other creatures, they could only live in the immortal dreamland, and could not be brought out. Otherwise, since everytime a cultivator entered an immortal dreamland, it would create a new world for it—if counted for all the cultivators that entered the group of immortal tombs—there would be an untold number of Supreme level or above cultivators. Furthermore, if they could walk out of the immortal dreamland at will, wouldn't there be a big mess in Nine Regions?
Regardless, the baby disappeared just like that. And Wang Lu was somewhat relieved. When he turned his gaze, however, he discovered that Wang Wu had an 'at a loss' look on her face, as if she felt an extreme lost for the disappearance of the baby?
”Hey… you were not expecting anything, weren't you?”
When Wang Lu spoke this, his heartbeat somewhat sped up. However, after a long silence, Wang Wu just sighed and then explained with a smile, ”It's nothing, it was just that, I had planned to use the 'mother is dear to the child' tactic to divide your inheritance. But now, it seemed that the dream was just for naught.”
”...” Upon hearing this, Wang Lu felt that the Master that he was familiar with had returned… But this rapid change in attitude had somewhat caught him off guard.
However, when he thought about it, Wang Lu immediately felt that something was not right.
”Wait a minute, just now, you said that you want to use the 'mother is dear to the child' tactic to divide my… inheritance?”
”Hehe, it's just a slip of the tongue.”
”That should be the careless expression of your true words, huh? Tsk, as you mentioned it, it reminds me. As you could have already been considered as a successful cultivator with great fame, it should be the time for you to return the inheritance that I gave you!”
”In your dreams!” Wang Wu covered her chest with her hands. ”This is already mine!”
”You really have the face to say that?”
”I…” Wang Wu rolled her eyes and suddenly said with a smile, ”Fine, after taking advantage of you for so many years for free, if I don't repay anything at all, it would be too unreasonable. Well, I'll just pay you some interests…”
The next moment, Wang Lu suddenly felt fragrant wind blowing at his face, and the woman's figure was already right in front of him. Her beautiful eyes were flowing, and her beauty was charming.
A gentle touch was on his lips, like morning dew, clear and sweet, penetrating deeply into the heart..
Beside his ears, Wang Wu's voice was vague and traceless, but it was like a morning bell and evening drum, surging one's heart.
”Sorry, although it wasn't the first kiss, it still feels a bit awkward in technique, so if you don't like it, then just forget about it.”
…Talking in this way, Wang Wu's words also mean the women should always have some backup boys or backup lovers….
