Wrong time, broken hope
The first thing Fu Yao took when he woke up was the pain in his body. His body feels like burning. His body felt numb at the same time. He saw nothing. Nothing but pure blackness. His body refused to obey him. He couldn't even open his eyes properly. His ears rustled. But slowly he noticed that he heard some voices. He couldn't arrange them. They were so far away. He tried to open his eyes. His body was unable to move. The voices became clearer and clearer.
,, ... impossible ... why ...? "
,, ... ook .... look ......"
,, .. It should ..... "
The more Fu Yao tried Concentrating on the voices, the more he notices that the voices sounded familiar. Slowly he opened his eyes. Finally. His vision was initially blurred, but he made out outlines. Some figures were bent over him. Where was he? Who were these beings?
,,Stop arguing! Look! He's waking up!", someone shouted and Fu Yao could see the person pointing his finger at him.
Slowly, Fu Yao thought he was thinking and seeing more clearly. The figures were leaning over him and looking at him. When his mind finally realized who was designing it, his eyes became big and clear.
,,A-Die!", He shouted happily and his eyes watered.
Immediately he jumped around Feng Xin's neck and pressed his face into his shoulder.
,,I missed you so A-Die!", Fu Yao shouted, crying .
The pain was completely forgotten by the joy. Feng Xin, completely confused what that meant, grabbed Fu Yao by the shoulders to push him away a little. But at the same time he didn't dare push this boy away. Den Feng Xin, as well as the other gods, were unsettled. This boy appeared out of nowhere. This boy in the emperor's hall fell with a tremendous force and destroyed the entire hall with it.
Fu Yao was wounded all over and it looked like he had a terrible fight. But the real reason everyone is confused is that Fu Yao was a mix of Nan Yang and Xuan Zhen palace clothes. The elegant black and blue colors like the Xuan Zhen Palace, but in terms of style and cut it was similar to the Nan Yang Palace.
Especially when he has two tassels hanging from his waist. One for the Nan Yang Palace and one for the Xuan Zhen Palace. The boy's face was also Xuan Zhen's, but the hair and eyes were Feng Xin's. If Xuan Zhen were to be a woman, they would now be said to be Xuan Zhen and Nan Yang child! But both are men! But it seems to be confirmed that it must be Nan Yang child if he addresses Feng Xin with "A-Die".
,, A-Die! I have to tell you so much about what happened! ", Fu Yao started to tell.
But when he wandered his gaze around the boy seemed to notice something strange." Wait, where am I? ", He asked confused then.
,,In the arena", Ling Wen replied and seemed to be very careful with the boy.
Fu Yao was happy.
,,Ling Ayi!", He shouted happily.
Confused, the people looked at the child and Ling Wen. But before Fu Yao could say anything else, he started coughing. The time and space magic seemed to have taken him hard because of the problem he had caused himself. His body was completely sore. When he looked at his hand, he saw that he had coughed up blood.
,,Get a doctor quickly!", Feng Xin shouted, startled when he saw the boy coughing up blood.
Fu Yao only now noticed how dizzy he was. His surroundings began to turn. His vision got worse and worse. He saw so many black dots. His gaze wandered around. But he couldn't find his Diedie.
,,Diedie ...?", he whispered softly before he fell over and the blackness enveloped him again.
----------------------------------------------------------
Hua Cheng looked down at him coldly.
,,Should I believe you?", He asked in a coldness that Fu Yao had never experienced.
Hua Cheng had never talked to him like this. Why did Hua-Shushu talk so coldly? Where are Bai Wen and Zhong Ying? Where are everyone Why was everything different? But before Fu Yao can ask anything, Mu Qing grabbed him and pulled him to him.
,,YOU!"
-------------------------------------------------------------
The next time he woke up he noticed that his whole body was wrapped up. Someone must have taken care of their wounds. However, his body still ached from every single movement. He sat up carefully. He let his gaze wander around the room. He had to be in the Nan Yang Palace. The decoration and style were definitely Nan Yang Palace! A-Die he took him.
He got up cautiously. He ignored the pain in his body. His whole body hurt. But it was ok. First he had to find both of his parents and explain everything. Fu Yao must change the future immediately! The dream he had made him feel insecure, but he quickly rejected it. Don't think about it. His dreams often didn't make sense. Slowly supporting him, he went briefly to the chair where some clothes were ready.
He quickly put them on. There was no time to waste. If he had calculated correctly, his father, Mu Qing, was now pregnant and should have problems for the first time. The first spirits as well as jealous gods must have paid attention to him. So he had to warn him. He has to change the future. That Bai Wuxiang won't come back. He had to save his brother. He wanted to save everyone. The future must not end like this!
Not again. Fu Yao doesn't even know if he really is the only survivor. But there is a high probability that it really was. When he thought about it he felt his heart contract. Tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly forced himself to calm down and brushed away his tears before he put his head back and took a deep breath. Then he went out. He was familiar with the hallways. Even if he walked slowly, he knew where to go.
Fortunately, none of the officers stopped him. Every time he passed one of the officers, they immediately fell silent. Any very excited discussion ended as soon as Fu Yao passed them. The eyes followed Fu Yao. Some officials he recognized, others he did not know, but it was seldom the case that he did not know some officials. Either they were new or ... or they are officials who died before Fu Yao was allowed to get to know them.
The officers immediately started whispering about Fu Yao. No wonder. Everyone would whisper about Fu Yao to see a handsome young man who was as handsome as General Xuan Zhen, but the same color as General Nan Yang's eyes and hair. The dress style was the perfect mix of both palaces. As if he were the origin of the two generals. The perfect middle. Some officers stopped to watch Fu Yao go after them. Despite all the wounds, Fu Yao was able to walk fairly straight. He looked wounded and yet he had an aura that made every junior officer back away. The aura like your general or general Xuan Zhen. Even if they didn't know the boy, they knew he wasn't normal.
Fu Yao was definitely not an easy case.
-----------------------------------------------------
,, So you want to tell me there was a boy who looks like Mu Qing but has the eyes and hair of Feng Xin?"
The figure repeated when he noticed the situation. Yin Yu nodded and looked up at Hua Cheng.
,,Do you want to check it out?" He asked cautiously.
,,I think Gege would certainly be interested in what's going on", smiled the red-clad figure before dissolving into butterflies and looking at the case more closely.
After all, he wants to know how much the sky will suffer this time.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Feng Xin was sitting in his Office and tried to find out where this boy came from, who called him "A-Die" and also looked like a cross between himself and Mu Qing.
That was maybe a stupid joke by Mu Qing. But if he really thought about it , he didn't think it was a stupid joke. The boy looked way too wounded to be a joke. But why did he call him "A-Die"?
After the CuoCuo thing, Feng Xin knew for sure that he was had no other children. He knew that. He had never slept with any other woman than Jian Lian. So who is the boy ?! But just at the moment when Feng Xin would have banged his head on the table, the office door opened Fu Yao walked cautiously in.
Ordinarily, Feng Xin would admonish the officer not to burst in unannounced. But Fu Yao walked into the room as normally and naturally as if he had been at home and here for a century. The boy didn't have the typical respect for a higher god either. As if he'd really known him all his life, Fu Yao just sat across from Feng Xin.
You could almost call it brazen. If Mu Qing were here in his place, he would make some snappy comments. But he's not that petty. The boy looked at him with the same golden eyes that he had himself.
,,Good morning A-Die."
So calm and yet there was excitement in his voice. Fu Yao's face had some plasters on it, but despite the wounds on his face you could see that he had no other scars on his face. Somehow he really looked like Mu Qing. Even the way he looked at Feng Xin only reminded him of his rival.
,,You should actually still stay in bed", warned Feng Xin, without even realizing the harsh tone in which he was speaking.
But Fu Yao seemed used to it and laughed lightly.
,,I'll be fine again quickly. After all, I'm a pure deity", he smiled proudly.
A pure deity? Does he really come from two gods. But ... from whom ?! He didn't want to consider that it could be Mu Qing. Even if his face is like that was similar. Both were men! How is that supposed to work?!
Impossible.
Fu Yao then straightened up a bit.
,,A-Die. I have to tell you something serious now. I am your future son in two hundred years! I know Diedie is still mad at you, but it will change. I had a brother, Nan Feng."
Fu Yao paused and said nothing.
,,Nan Feng looked more like you."
Feng Xin thought for a moment.
,,Why "had"?"
Fu Yao's smile disappeared and his eyes lost their happy luster. A white gleam was on his eyes as if he was about to burst into tears. Feng Xin was startled when he saw the first tears in the corner of Fu Yao's eye.
Fu Yao forced a smile.
,,He... isn't here right now. I had one because he's not here", is the cheapest lie Feng Xin has ever heard.
His heart told him that probably the brother Fu Yao was talking about might have passed away. But his head said that this boy was still way too strange. Fu Yao forced a smile and continued talking.
,,A tragedy has happened, I want to stop it and therefore change the past. I want the future to be changed."
Feng Xin was silent and looked at the boy very closely. The boy with the clear golden eyes looked at him determinedly. But the face was just too similar to Mu Qing's. Even this voice was Mu Qing something like that. Every time he spoke he thought for a moment that Mu Qing was speaking. Can he really believe the boy. But why did he look so much like Mu Qing if he was his son? Fu Yao noticed that his father seemed to hesitate. Why he got up and walked around him and then gave him his hand and let spiritual power flow through his father. Feng Xin winced in surprise.
Despite this wounded body he had incredible spiritual power and on top of that it was very similar to his.... and somehow also Mu Qing's.
He hesitated before he give the boy a chance.
,,Let's assume you're telling the truth, I really would be your father in two hundred years, then please explain one thing to me. Then why do you look lik e ----", Before Feng Xin finished speaking, the door slammed open and an Angry Beauty burst in.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mu Qing had just descended into the mortal realm. He had a ghost to deal with Oddly enough, this ghost was terribly fast, and Mu Qing needed Ling Wen's advice. He quickly tried to reach her, but by chance he overheard a conversation.
,,No, I don't think so!"
,,Yes it is! It's true! This boy looks like the son of Xuan Zhen and Nan Yang!"
,,Hasn't Nan Yang already had a son?"
,,You mean the one with the ghost lady?"
,,Who would have thought that he would have a son who looked like him and Xuan Zhen!" Everyone laughed.
Mu Qing completely confused. Before he could even ask what's going on, they continued talking.
,,The boy appeared out of nowhere He suddenly just appeared and jumped around Nan Yang's neck and yelled "A-Die! A-They!""
Everyone laughed again.
,,But I thought both are men!"
,,Maybe Xuan Zhen turned into a woman and seduced Nan Yang for his cock!"
Everyone laughed again. Mu Qing didn't quite know what it was about, but it completely humiliated him. What on earth just happened!? Why was he involved in this stuff?! What do you mean they have a son that looks like them!? Mu Qing immediately contacted his junior officers. It turned out that a boy actually appeared out of nowhere and is now with Feng Xin. One of his officers caught a glimpse of the strange boy and they were dazzled by the beauty. Some junior officials from Xuan Zhen Palace even overheard some of the junior officials from Nan Yang Palace talk and heard that many were fascinated by the boy's beauty. The boy was the perfect combination of Nan Yang and Xuan Zhen. The perfect beauty of both.
Mu Qing didn't know what to make of it. The rumors spread and spread so quickly that Mu Qing didn't even have time to find the culprit of the rumours. So quickly that even Xie Lian heard about the rumours.
,,Mu Qing", came Xie Lian's voice.
,,Taizi Dianxia..."
,,Is that true... that you and Feng Xin have a child...?"
,,Taizi Dianxia!!"
,,Ok ok I'm sorry... but hearing that was... frighteningly surprising..."
Xie Lian confessed, laughing. Mu Qing then tried to explain to Xie Lian that there were nothing more than just stupid rumours. Briefly after he finished talking, Mu Qing became incredibly angry,
,,FENG XIN!!", he yelled in anger.
Mu Qing didn't even care about the ghost anymore. Without further ado, he ran and rushed back to heaven. As soon as he returned to heaven, all the gods looked at him. Completely ignoring the looks, an rushed through.
His eyes had his target clearly and firmly in focus: Next stop, Feng Xin Palace.
Ignoring the looks of the other officials, he stormed into the palace, leaving behind a pile of rubble.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fu Yao actually didn't expect Mu Qing so soon when he saw his beautiful father standing at the door. This one looked more than just angry. Fu Yao always knew his father didn't have the best temper, but this time it looked like Mu Qing was really pissed off. It was as if he now wanted to maul Feng Xin. Is Diedie pregnant? Is this when his diedie finds out he's pregnant? But Fu Yao didn't even realize what he was doing. He didn't realize what he was doing until his parents stopped fighting. Fu Yao realized that he was hugging Mu Qing. His arms wrapped tightly around his father and his face happily pressed to his chest.
"..."
"..."
Only Fu Yao seemed to be beaming.
,,I missed you, Diedie!"
Silence again. Mu Qing quickly pushed the boy away.
,,Who's your Diedie!?"
Fu Yao didn't mind when he was pushed away. After all, Fu Yao knew how much his father hated physical contact. But he quickly looked at Mu Qing's stomach. He must have just found out!
,,Are you pregnant?", he then asked.
Immediately, Mu Qing blushed and Feng Xin couldn't help but laugh.
,,Pregnant? Mu Qing did you put on weight?"
Feng Xin laughed at Mu Qing. But when Feng Xin then realized that Fu Yao called Mu Qing "DieDie", he became deathly pale.
,,Wait... Diedie?"
Feng Xin asked after. Both Mu Qing and Feng Xin didn't look too pleased.
,,Yes! Diedie! It's good that Diedie is here too!"
Fu Yao then motioned for Mu Qing to sit down. Silent and shocked, Mu Qing sat down. Fu Yao sat down next to Mu Qing and snuggled up to him. Like a son who is now receiving attention from his mother Confused and out of reflex, Mu Qing put a hand on Fu Yao's head. Mu Qing didn't see the smile Fu Yao wore on his lips. But Feng Xin saw it and for a moment he really felt the feeling that Fu Yao was just paying attention wants from the person that his father calls himself. Fu Yao straightened up and sat down normally again.
,,Well, as I mentioned before, come from the future! Diedie should be pregnant with-- -", before Fu Yao can finish his sentence.
,,Stop! I'm not pregnant, nor is it possible!"
Mu Qing yelled in between.
,,No no. I'm aware that men can't get pregnant climb into bed", Fu Yao explained calmly.
Feng Xin and Mu Qing immediately turn bright red.
,,We didn't climb into a box!", they both shouted at the same time.
Now Fu Yao was confused.
,,How?", now Fu Yao seemed to think.
Had he landed in the wrong time? Then he remembered that during his teleportation he had unintentionally changed something about space and time. Did he jump a little too far backwards?
,,Then I must have come too early... Well, it doesn't matter! The sooner the better! In any case, we must stop Bai Wuxiang! And before you interrupt me, please listen to me first!"
Fu Yao told his parents what happened in the future and why he came here.
,,I want to change the future. I want to save heaven. That's why I'm here. I want to destroy the root of evil directly!"
Feng Xin and Mu Qing didn't know what to make of it. How are they supposed to process it all? Should they even believe the boy? Just the idea that they have something together, just the thought made both of them nauseous. Should they really believe someone who just shows up here wearing their faces. Even if both feel a strange familiarity, they didn't know what to make of it. It was way too much at once. Fu Yao knew his parents well enough and knew that both of them were doubting right now, so he then said:
,,It's ok if you don't trust me. But please let me save the future", he then asked her.
Both of them were silent, sighing.
,,You want to tell me that I'll start something with Mu Qing in the future? Through an accident?" Feng Xin asked in disgust.
Mu Qing was also deeply disgusted. The fact that this child was theirs disgusted them both. You couldn't imagine it. They didn't even want to imagine it. That was just too gross. Even if this was proof. Who bore the face of the two gods.
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the next two weeks, the two gods of the south only saw how their alleged son then prepared everything. He didn't make any messes or anything like that. He walked around and had some conversations with other gods and officials and asked some suspicious questions. But that was all. Otherwise Fu Yao was just there. Most of the time, Feng Xin even saw Fu Yao sitting on the patio eating tanghulu while making some notes. Mu Qing often found Fu Yao working out who could really munch on tons of candy. Fu Yao was someone who never said who he stayed with. It happened a few times that Fu Yao spontaneously decided to stay in the other palace. Not that Feng Xin bothered when Fu Yao paced back and forth, but what bothered him was the rumors that kept getting bigger and bigger.
Soon, Feng Xin could no longer ignore her. He is even approached by the other gods when he needs to ask Mu Qing something about Fu Yao. Mu Qing was also visibly uncomfortable. How long should this go on? Mu Qing and Feng Xin couldn't take it anymore. Even their believers somehow noticed and began to worship them together. In some temples even now they have a small statue of Fu Yao standing between his "fathers".
,,This can't go on like this", shouted Feng Xin as he stormed into Mu Qing's office.
,,I was literally asked today for love tips on how to help a man confess to another man!", he yelled angrily.
Mu Qing, who is also adored by many women, tried to remain calm when he received some requests on how to seduce a man like Feng Xin.
,,The whole thing has been going on like this for four months now! And in those four months everything had changed!"
It was desperate. The prayers piled up more and more. But this time Fu Yao obviously went too far. Feng Xin was on his way to Fu Yao. He wanted to ask him something. But he didn't find his son. He wasn't in the usual places where he thought he could find his son. Desperately he even looked for him in Xuan Zhen Palace. Where is he?! Mu Qing, who was more or less used to Feng anyway Seeing Xin wandering around his palace made him look confused.
,,What's wrong with you?", he asked him now.
But Feng Xin looked at him like he was about to freak out.
,,Fu Yao has disappeared! I haven't found him all day!" Feng Xin exclaimed desperately.
Mu Qing's eyes widened and looked at him.
,,What?"
,,Fu Yao has disappeared! I'm looking for him!", Feng Xin's voice was full of concern.
What surprised Mu Qing was that Feng Xin really cared about Fu Yao. As if Feng Xin had unconsciously accepted Fu Yao as a son. Since Fu Yao was here, both gods actually hardly had looked after Fu Yao. Only Fu Yao always came to them. He often called both of them to eat or wanted something. Most of the time Mu Qing hardly looked at him because he didn't want to believe the boy. But he got used to his Presence. He got used to the fact that sometimes this boy would come to him just to get his attention.
Sometimes he would even hug Fu Yao back. However, he never knew how to describe the feeling. It was a warm feeling holding this boy. Yes now Fu Yao was gone. Feng Xin looked for him everywhere, but couldn't find him.
,,Where could he be?", Mu Qing asked when they were already turning the Xuan Zhen palace upside down.
Nothing.
He was nowhere.
Even when they asked the other gods, no one knew where Fu Yao went. Soon all of heaven was searching for the strange young man who suddenly disappeared.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, Fu Yao didn't think much about it when he briefly left heaven to enter the realm of spirits. As a child, Fu Yao walked with Nan Feng to Hua Cheng so often that he could walk the path in his sleep. Entering Ghost City was no problem for him.
It was like this would be his second home. Some spirits who noticed him looked at him in surprise. Normally you could only enter Ghost City in the evening, even if you did, that was rarely the case and only on special days. So how come a handsome young man, radiant with divine power, was in Ghost City just walking around like he'd been at home for a long time. Fu Yao didn't even notice the looks. Because he went straight to Paradise Manor. The ghosts followed him and were amazed.
Fu Yao knew where he wanted to go. He also knew that Hua Cheng would be inside. So he went in with no problems. The doors opened easily. Fu Yao walked through the mansion with no problem and found the room he was looking for. He opened the door and found Hua Cheng in the library outside looking at him from his seat. Hua Cheng sat at the top of the stairs. The chair always reminded Fu Yao of a throne.
Fu Yao was not afraid of Hua Cheng. The other spirits around them looked at him in confusion. Almost as if he were tired of life as he even ran up the stairs to Hua Cheng.
,,Hua-Shushu!"
The ghosts present jumped in shock as Fu Yao lunged at Hua Cheng. Fu Yao happily hugged Hua Cheng. The red-robed man put a hand on his waist and just looked at him. Even though Hua Cheng showed no reaction Fu Yao was happy.
Excited, he then backed away and faced Hua Cheng without fear.
Normally, whether he was pretending or not, one was naturally afraid of Hua Cheng.
But Fu Yao wasn't.
Like he was with Hua Cheng raised. Or raised by Hua Cheng. Because the way he was looking at Hua Cheng, it seemed like a child was looking at his father.
,,Hua-Shushu I have so much to tell you!"
When Fu Yao simply squeezed into his seat next to Hua Cheng, some spirits nearly fainted. Hua Cheng showed no reaction and seemed amused that someone had such courage. This boy really must have gotten used to him. No. He really had to get used to Hua Cheng as a part of the family that even people who have known him for a long time are a bit afraid of him. But Hua Cheng also couldn't deny how similar Fu Yao looked to someone. Even if he didn't show any reaction on the outside. He was really amused by Fu Yao.
He had never seen anyone so courageous, but his expression darkened when he heard the story Fu Yao told him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The sky erupted in chaos. The bell rang and eyes were all on Fu Yao in shock. Fu Yao really brought Hua Cheng to heaven. All eyes were on the boy in shock, who hopped excitedly to Feng Xin.
,,A-Die! A-The! I found Hua Shushu! I've already told him everything! Now I can finally implement the plan to save the future! I have to tell Bai Wen and Zhong Ying and then----", before Fu Yao could finish speaking, Feng Xin then yelled.
,,Are you crazy?! Why did you put Crimson Rain Sought Flower in the sky?! What did you do it?!" Feng Xin yelled at him.
Fu Yao winced. His father had never yelled at him before. Not even when he was stupid as a kid and accidentally burned down his palace or broke Feng Xin's bow out of anger when Feng Xin was arguing with him. This time it was different. The eyes of the gods were completely frightened and looked at Hua Cheng, who calmly crossed his arms over his chest.
,,I find it most interesting that your "son" had told me such an interesting story."
Feng Xin was silent and clenched his fists. The hatred was visible in his eyes. Hua Cheng just lifted his chin in amusement. Mu Qing stormed in
,,So this is your 'son'? A real troublemaker. But I didn't expect anything less", Mei Nianqing said condescendingly saw Mu Qing running to his son.
,,What have you done?!" Mu Qing yelled at him too.
Fu Yao flinched again.
,,I-I wanted to save the future."
,,With the monster?! He stalked Taizi Dianxia! 800 years!"
Mu Qing pointed at Hua Cheng, who just laughed. Xie Lian also laughed uncertainly.
,,I think you should calm down...I think you're scaring the kid right now", Xie Lian tried thing to calm down.
,,Yes! I know how too! I just have to let Zhong Ying and Bai Wen know and then--" before Fu Yao could utter his words, Feng Xin interrupted him.
,,And who are Bai Wen and Zhong Ying again?"
Feng Xin grabbed his head, because it was really starting to hurt him. What had this kid done?! He hadn't just caused havoc in heaven with his appearance! No, he had also invited Hua Cheng to heaven as if he were a special guest! In addition he had caused the sky again into a crazy chaos. The gods whispered and all eyes were on the three.
,,Z-Zhong Ying is Diedie's deputy and Bai Wen.. was your deputy!" Fu Yao shouted, confused and shocked.
,,Who?!"
His parents were confused. Now Fu Yao turned pale.
Wait a moment.
That's not right!
Bai Wen and Zhong Ying have been serving Feng Xin and Mu Qing for a very long time! Several hundred years even! They are recognized as junior officers by the two gods of the South two hundred years after the fall of Jun Wu. After the two junior officers joined, two hundred years later, Nan Feng Fu Yao was also born! This means that Fu Yao must somehow be in the timeline where Zhong Ying and Bai Wen have not yet started as officers! That means he had to be in the timeline where the war with Jun Wu ended and Zhong Ying and Bai Wen aren't there. THIS IS YES 1000 YEARS BEFORE NAN FENG FU YAO BIRTH!! Now Fu Yao was shocked. It was all way too soon! His time travel has thrown him way too far back! Feng Xin and Mu Qing noticed Fu Yao pale. Feng Xin frowned. But Mu Qing misunderstands.
,,You're not our son from the future, aren't you?"
Fu Yao's heart stopped beating.
,,What...?"
Mu Qing got angry. So this boy had lied to him. Pretended to lie to him?!
,,No! I'm telling the truth! I just didn't think I traveled that far back in time!"
Fu Yao turned to Hua Cheng.
,,Hua-Shushu! You believe me, don't you?!"
Hua Cheng looked down at him coldly.
,,Should I believe you?", He asked in a coldness that Fu Yao had never experienced.
Hua Cheng had never talked to him like this. Why did Hua-Shushu talk so coldly? Where are Bai Wen and Zhong Ying? Where are everyone Why was everything different? But before Fu Yao can ask anything, Mu Qing grabbed him and pulled him to him.
,,YOU!"
Fu Yao winced.
,,Who are you really?!"
Mu Qing asked him in anger.
,,I'm Fu Yao! Your son!"
,,Don't lie to me!"
Fu Yao felt everything spinning around him. It hurt. Seeing his own father who didn't believe him.
,,A-Die...?"
He tried to get help from his other to find father. But he saw him with a look that broke his heart. He no longer believed him either. All eyes of the gods were on him.
,,You are a liar. My son would not be a liar", so Mu Qing let go of him and pushed away from him.
Fu Yao fell to his knees. Fu Yao's heart shattered into a thousand pieces.
,,You think... I lied to you... All of them Time?" he asked quietly.
Mu Qing looked up. Hot tears felt Fu Yao clear golden eyes.
,,You think... I would lie to my parents...? In such a way?", his voice dropped to a whisper.
At that moment, Mu Qing realized how much his words really hit Fu Yao was cast out by his parents. This pain and the tears that Fu Yao cried were not feigned. Mu Qing had seen many children being so banished by their parents because they had no money to feed them and the child cried and begged not pushed away to become. That's exactly the look Fu Yao had. Feng Xin's heart broke into a thousand pieces when he saw Fu Yao broken. Mei Nianqing walked over to him and pointed his finger at him.
,,Take that boy away! Who knows what his goal really is what if he'd already put Crimson Rain Sought Flower in the sky and told us a lie!"
Xie Lian wanted to step in and stop them. But it was too late. Before Mu Qing or Feng Xin could do anything else, Fu Yao was grabbed by many arms and dragged back and forth. Fu Yao cried more. It hurts. It hurt so bad.
,,Against...! Gege!" he was crying now.
,,Gege help me! It hurts Gege! It hurts so terribly!"
His voice got louder and louder.
,,Gege!"
Strong arms wrap around him. Fu Yao didn't notice anything anymore. His body ached. All the pain he had been eating inside was now coming out. The pain, the memories that kept haunting him. The death of his parents. His brother's death. And the deaths he had to witness. So many people died and all the images haunted him.
He couldn't anymore.
That straight was the last drop.
Nobody was there for him anymore. His big brother Nan Feng, who always listened to him, was gone. Fu Yao didn't even notice someone hugging him tightly. It felt familiar. But at the same time, Fu Yao felt numb. All eyes were on the figure holding the heap of misery in his arms. His eyes filled with anger as if this person were ready to take on hundreds of gods.
Long black hair tied in a high ponytail. Honey-golden eyes that shone dangerously. The attire was that of Nan Yang Palace and Xuan Zhen Palace. The perfect combination. The boy held Fu Yao to himself. His face was similar to Feng Xin's, but the shape of his eyes was reminiscent of Mu Qing. All the gods held their breath. Mu Qing understood.
,,Nan... Feng?", he asked softly.
Feng Xin frowned before carefully taking a step towards Nan Feng.
,,I thought... you were dead", he whispered softly.
Fu Yao had already told them that Nan Feng was dead. But before Nan Feng answered, Hua Cheng already realized what was going on.
,,I'm dead", Nan Feng replied dryly and stroked Fu Yao's hair.
,,What?"
,,I am dead! Diedie, Or rather General Xuan Zhen."
His words were cold. Mu Qing felt a pang in his chest. Nan Feng turned to Feng Xin.
,,General Nan Yang. General Xuan Zhen. It may well be that in 1000 years later you are my parents. But you hurt Fu Yao! I won't let anyone hurt Fu Yao like that! Not even the people who will later become my parents!", his words were cold.
This manner reminded Mu Qing of himself. He had even turned against his friends to take care of his mother. While Fu Yao was like Feng Xin in that respect. He wanted to save everything. Hua Cheng stared at Nan Feng's neck. Despite the high collar, he could see the scar. There were also scars on Nan Feng's wrists. However, these scars were not like lacerations. They were scars that only appear when you tear them open. Those scars weren't subtle. But different. As if he had been torn apart by thousands of beings in all directions.
Hua Cheng also realized why said brother is back. He died and returned as a ghost. Hatred burned into his eyes. He looked at everyone with a disdainful look. Until his eyes landed on Fu yao. Then his eyes became softer and more loving.
,,Now everything is fine again. I'm back", he whispered softly to his brother.
Without even looking at the others, he picked up his brother. With a determined look, he now looked at Hua Cheng and Xie Lian.
,,Since you saved the sky from Bai Wuxiang before , you are most aware of how strong he is and how dangerous he is. Only this time he's even stronger. This time he's a lot sneakier too."
Xie Lian looked at Hua Cheng before turning back to Nan Feng.
,,That means?"
,,That means Bai Wuxiang will now kill Heaven in revenge. And even Hua Shus-- no my fault, Crimson Rain Sought Flower can't even stop him."
Now the whole sky was whispering. Some looked at him as if he were suicidal. Others looked at him with admiration as he dared to defy Hua Cheng. Others weren't convinced. Again, many did not know how to react. Mei Nianqing wrinkled his nose.
,,Xie Lian do you really listen to a servant's son?"
He gave Mu Qing a disdainful look.
Nan Feng's eyes darted immediately to Mei Nianqing.
,,Who is that?", Nan Feng asked confused.
,,This is Mei Nianqing my Guoshi," Xie Lian replied.
,,Don't you know him?", he then asked.
Nan Feng frowned. No, he didn't know this man. He had never seen him before. had he died Or traveling? But then he would have had to see this man at some point. Especially when he knows that it was also Uncle Xie Lian Guoshi.
,,Are you often in heaven?" Nan Feng then asked, his voice strangely calm.
,,No, I'm not, you clueless child", Mei Nianqing folded his arms.
He looked at Nan Feng as if rebuking him.
,,I guard the mountain where Bai Wuxiang is imprisoned. Today I had to go to heaven for an important matter. "
Nan Feng was silent thoughtfully.
,,I understand", he just replied.
,,Please excuse me. But I'll bring Fu Yao to the room so he can rest", Nan Feng apologized and then just left without further ado.
Without paying attention to his surroundings, he carried his brothers to Nan Yang Palace. The junior officers jumped when they suddenly saw Nan Feng.
,,Where is Fu Yao's room?" he then asked.
The junior officers could not answer at first because his face was so similar to that of General Nan Yang and yet reminded of General Xuan Zhen clawed at Nan Feng and definitely not easy to loosen. They led Nan Feng to Fu Yao's room. Fu Yao slowly regained consciousness. Looking around, confused, he saw his brother's figure beside him.
,,Nan Feng?", he asked, completely confused.
His eyes widened. Was it really Nan Feng?!
,,Hey", Nan Feng just said before he was knocked over by his little brother, who was howling snot and water. He stroked his back affectionately.
,,Hey. But I'm here. Everything will be fine. I'm fine!"
,,I thought...I thought...I would never see you again!" Fu Yao cried.
Nan Feng smiled at him and rubbed his back until Fu Yao calmed down.
,,If Diedie saw you like that now... he would tear you to pieces because you haven't got your emotions under control again", Nan Feng laughed.
,,hat's not true.."
They sat next to each other on the bed.
,,I saw you... die..."
,,I know. But I came back", Nan Feng smiled and put a hand on Fu Yao's shoulder.
Even if Fu Yao hadn't processed the whole thing yet, he was so glad to have his brother back. Nan Feng's expression turned serious.
,,Say Fu Yao. While you were here the whole time, did you notice anything that could point to something happening in the future?" Fu Yao shook his head.
,,I hatched a plan how to catch the culprit. But you saw what happened", Fu Yao only whispered softly.
Nan Feng thought.
,,Do you remember the bastard who forced Diedie to die?", Nan Feng then asked.
,,No. How am I supposed to know? After all, the masked man was already dead. We were just born", said Fu Yao with a frown.
,,I found the masked man again."
Fu Yao looked at him with a startled look.
,,I found him when I came back as a ghost. I found the corpse of the masked ghost. It was lying there like the one that had jumped. His Body was like new, like it had just died. But he couldn't remove his mask. Like it was glued in place. So I looked for clues. You know what I found most interesting?"
,,What's that?"
,,Apparently this masked man is probably more than an outsider", Fu Yao got goosebumps when he saw Nan Feng's facial expression.
Nan Feng leaned forward and then whispered in Fu Yao's ear.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hua Cheng was now more than just interested. He wanted to know what the children were up to. Which is why he watched her with the butterflies. The children aroused more and more interest in him. He really wants to know if they were telling the truth, if so what would they do. With an amused smile he went to his library. Maybe he should take a closer look at the whole thing. Without further ado he went into his treasury and picked up a glowing stone.
He smiled.
,,Well then, let's see how true your story is", he whispered softly before the stone immediately shone so brightly that it bathed the entire room in a bright light.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
,,So you're sure it's like that?", Fu Yao then asked and tried to protect his eyes from his mouth with his hands.
,,Yes, I'm definitely sure!", Nan Feng said when he asked saw in front.
,,Here is the mountain where Bai Wuxiang is being held. If we get an answer, then only here!"
Both stood in front of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain many purple flowers bloomed. They were really beautiful. If you have no idea, you would think this place would be one of the most beautiful places in the world. Man never guessed that there was a ghost down here. Fu Yao followed his brother immediately. When they finally faced Bai Wuxiang, they both immediately felt the dark aura surrounding this ghost. They knew exactly that this ghost was more than just strong. No wonder Hua Cheng and Xie Lian had so much trouble defeating him. The ghost was really scary. Bai Wuxiang looked at the two children in amusement. Since he was tied up under this mountain, he couldn't do much.
,,So these are the children of General Xuan Zhen and General Nan Yang. I never thought that those two would have children", said the ghost, amused.
Nan Feng got goosebumps when he heard the voice. "Mei Nianqing told me about you," he continued.
,,So how come you honor me with your presence?"
,,We have questions."
He looked at the children curiously.
,,We want to know why you sent spirits after us."
,,I haven't sent spirits after you yet", he laughed.
,,We're speaking of the very fact of what you'll do when we're born!"
Bai Wuxiang laughed.
,,You're really asking me such a simple question?"
Nan Feng Fu Yao looked at each other briefly.
,,You are the first children born of pure gods. Despite my existence, I have never seen gods give birth to pure divine children Strangely enough, no gods could ever actually conceive, even if they tried. Even if they did, they usually lost the child before birth. I've seen many tragedies where gods were desperate to have children. But of all things one man brings in two divine beings to the world."
Bai Wuxiang laughed and shook his head.
,,You must know, divine children don't just come along." Fu Yao frowned.
,,What do you mean?"
,,Like I said, if it were that easy, there would be thousands of gods whose parents came from gods. You would be too powerful. They would survive even without a worshiper and that can become a danger. Gods are arrogant beings. Do you really think that children of two gods would really be a "god"?"
Nan Feng and Fu Yao looked at each other. Now that he mentioned it, in fact there were no more godly children than themselves.
,,How strong do you think spirit if he managed to kill a pure deity and absorb the energy?"
Bai Wuxiang then said. The children jumped immediately.
,,This spirit doesn't even need to step on Tonglu Mountain to be as strong as Crimson Rain Sought Flower."
,,Now the children were unsettled Defeating Hua-shushu?" Fu Yao asked cautiously.
,,You got it."
Nan Feng and Fu Yao looked at each other.
,,In the future you learned how to kill someone and then use them perfectly as a puppet. Without anyone noticing. How did you do that?"
Now Bai Wuxiang laughed.
,,So!"
Before the two could ask another question, they quickly jumped to the side to avoid a sharp sword. Startled, Fu Yao jumped to the wall while Nan Feng continued to dodge the sword attacks.
,,What the?!"
It was the masked man. The man who pushed her Diedie into the abyss.
,,Been when!?"
Fu Yao shouted as he also dodged an attack. Nan Feng didn't have time to think about it like the man had come here without them noticing. Now he had to come up with a plan to escape as quickly as possible . But they could hardly escape. They could only narrowly dodge the attack. In addition, his movements were completely unnatural. As if he were even a puppet being controlled.
,,Shouldn't Guoshi be monitoring Bai Wuxiang?! Where is he?!" , Nan Feng then exclaimed.
Desperately he tried to avoid further.
,,I dont know! I last saw him in the sky!" Fu Yao shouted.
Fu Yao tried to attack, but it didn't work. The person dodged every attack. Bai Wuxiang laughed.
,,Don't worry. I will kill you and you will also have the honor be my puppet too!"
More attacks.
The children are slowly running out of energy. Breathing heavily, Nan Feng kept trying to dodge the attacks. It was a matter of time before either of them made a mistake and the ghost caught them. Every step must not be a mistake. The masked man was so skillful with the sword that they hardly had a target to attack.
Nan Feng know that they canˋt escape. He must find another way to get out from this. But first he must make sure that Fu Yao is save. But the ghost doesn't give him the chance to make a move. It's feel like that the person already know what Nan Feng wanted to do. But Nan Feng didn't have to think much. Salvation was there before he had to think.
He hear a familiar sound. The sound of silver jewelry. He looks up. Hua Cheng block the punch. With a quick movement, Hua Cheng tied the masked man up with immortal ropes. Nan Feng Fu Yao froze. They had to dodge with so much effort. It didn't even take Hua Cheng a few minutes to strike this man down. This man was truly the Strongest Spirit of the Three Planes!
,,I think you are the one who will push Mu Qing down of the stairs in the future."
,,Hua-Shushu!"
Nan Feng Fu Yao run behind Hua Cheng. Hua Cheng smiled amused.
,,I'm really interested who you are."
He look at the person with the mask.
,,I want to know who is the person that will make so many trouble with that scum", he smiled and look condescendingly at Bai Wuxiang.
If Hua Chengs look can kill someone, Bai Wuxiang will die under thousand of knife stitches. Fu Yao was so happy to see his Hua-Shushu that he clung on his robes.
,,Hua-Shushu, Bai Wuxiang is using something to make people like a doll!"
Hua Cheng look at Fu Yao.
,,Do you wanna tell that this ghost will kill Gege in the future?"
Fu Yao nod.
Hua Cheng look at Bai Wuxiang. Bai Wuxiang only laugh. No one know why he is laughing. Hua Cheng was really the strongest ghost! Only in few minutes he drag the person down. Nan Feng realize again that he doesn't want to be the person that Hua Cheng hate the most.
Fu Yai was so happy to see his Hua Shushu again, that he hug his uncle.
,,Hua Shushu! "
Hua Cheng roll his eye.
,,I'm not you Shushu. I'm your Shushu in 1000 hundred years."
Fu Yao only smile.
This was enough for him. He know his Shushu is helping them out. Nan Feng rushed to Hua Cheng and looked at him with wide eyes.
,,What are you up to?", Hua Cheng grinned and shrugged his shoulders before he stormed Bai Wuxiang.
Blades were heard clashing. Nan Feng looked at Fu Yao.
,,How does Hua-Shushu know we're going?"
,,The man knows everything, as long as he sends out his butterflies, he knows everything", Fu Yao replied, just dodging a stone that flew through the vortex.
Without further ado, the two immediately hid behind a rock. Neither dared either only to make a sound. They only looked up again when it suddenly became quiet and no more sounds could be heard. They saw Hua Cheng bending over Bai Wuxiang, who was bound with immortal bonds.
,,You will never dare again harming my loved ones even remotely!", Hua Cheng snarled in anger.
His eyes shone with anger. The children jumped when they heard a disgusting noise. Hua Cheng put his foot on Bai Wuxiang's face and crushed it. The sound of cracking bones sent shivers down the children's spines. No matter how much they loved their uncle, he scared everyone. Very scared even. When Hua Cheng turned back to the children, both of them rushed towards their uncle.
,,Hua-Shushu!!", Hua Cheng sighed and stroked both of their hair.
,,Ok ok. It's good. We have to take care of something else. Your fathers have found the masked spirit. We have to take a closer look at it take", Hua Cheng said in a surprisingly gentle tone.
Both children nodded and immediately followed their uncles. Without further ado, the three returned to heaven. All eyes immediately fell on her. Hua Cheng ignored them and just kept walking as if he had always been here. The children followed him closely. Nan Feng held Fu Yao's hand and sometimes rubbed his thumbs on the back of his hand to calm him down. Fu Yao was now very afraid to move around in the sky with Mu Qing's eruption. Even if he didn't show it. It hurt him terribly in the soul. When they arrived, Feng Xin Mu Qing stared at the masked person sitting on the floor. She was tied with immortal binding ropes. Xie Lian saw Hua Cheng and the children.
,,You're fine!", Xie Lian shouted happily as he ran towards the three of them.
,,What happened here?", Fu Yao asked quietly.
,,The man here", Pei Ming pointed to the ghost with the smiling mask.
,,Had tried to attack your A-Die, Feng Xin, when he descended into the mortal realm to look for you. Good that your Diedie was on time was there and noticed. Otherwise one of the southern gods would no longer exist."
Nan Feng immediately looked at Feng Xin and seemed to be struggling with whether he should run to his father in a panic and ask if he was okay or just hold back to not do anything because he knew she was children did not believe. Mu Qing looked at Fu Yao, who was hiding behind Nan Feng.
,,Child, come here", Mu Qing said softly and cautiously.
Fu Yao looked at Nan Feng for a moment before he carefully walked over to his father. Mu Qing gently pulled him into his arms. At first Fu Yao tensed up, but quickly recovered loosely and hugged his Diedie back.
"I'm sorry. I know these words aren't enough, but I'm sorry", Mu Qing whispered softly.
Even though he didn't say the rest, hugging Fu Yao felt strange. Something warm familiar. Maybe it was really the feeling because deep down he somehow knows that the boy is his son. Feng Xin cleared his throat briefly and began to speak, addressing the spirit.
,,Who are you?", Feng Xin started with the simplest question anyone could ask.
But the ghost didn't react and seemed to sit there like a stone. Nan Feng frowned.
,,May I have a go? ", All eyes were on him now.
Without further ado, Nan Feng went to the masked ghost and touched the mask.
,,You can't take them off.", He laughed hoarsely.
Something told Nan Feng that this man looked familiar to him. He slowly stepped closer and looked at him from both sides. Somehow the more he looked at him, the more a person came to mind
,,Mei Nianqing?" Nan Feng asked cautiously.
The person in the mask stopped and looked at him. Everyone in the room suddenly fell silent and paused.
,,What are you talking about Nan Feng?" Mu Qing asked confused.
,,Diedie think about it, the only person this person can be is Mei Nianqing."
Feng Xin seemed about to say something.
,,Please listen to him A-Die", Fu Yao asked him.
,,Bai Wuxiang was imprisoned for centuries, and the only person who could take care of him or should guard him was Mei Nianqing. When he used Mei Nianqing, he was like that lots of freedom to hurt everyone. I don't know why he couldn't free himself, but anyway he was able to hurt the others without anyone knowing that he was behind it because there was no evidence", Nan Feng said calmly, looking at the man with the smiling mask.
Suddenly the person started laughing, laughing hysterically as if possessed by madness
,,You are truly the son of two battle gods. Good conclusion kid!", Suddenly the mask began to crumble.
Not only the mask, the person himself began to crumble.
,,Bai Wuxiang will live forever. As long as fear exists he will always live!", he laughed.
,,My prince, ah my prince... I have always served you... but you betrayed me... as well as the other three...", he laughed more.
,,You're out of your mind. Bai Wuxiang has taken you completely", Fu Yao spoke softly and looked briefly at Nan Feng.
Everyone present held their breath and saw how the man slowly crumbled and roared with laughter. Almost as if the man himself were Bai Wuxiang. When the man was complete crumbled and nothing was left but the ash itself, taking Nan Feng Fu Yao's hand silently.
,,It's over. No one will ever kill A-Die and Diedie again and no one will die", he said softly.
So quietly, as if it were addressed more to itself. Fu Yao just smiled at him. Nobody knew what to say in the situation. Xie Lian was the first to speak in shock: ,,Nan Feng! Fu Yao! You.. you dissolve!"
All eyes were now on the children, who are slowly becoming transparent. With a smile on his face, Fu Yao spoke to his parents.
,,A-Die... Diedie... we must now go...I don't have the right words to sum it all up. For my gratitude for letting me exist and for everything that has happened to apologize...so I'll just say thank you and I'm sorry.", Nan Feng also smiled slightly.
,,Maybe see you next time?", he asked softly.
Mu Qing couldn't control his legs as he lunged forward and hugged both children. He didn't know what kind of feelings were coming over him. Whether the fatherly feelings or that were feelings that suddenly arose for these children, even if he didn't really know what to do with the children a few seconds ago. Feng Xin also carefully put his arms around the children.
,,Thank you... and see you again. , Feng Xin whispered softly.
Unknowingly, Mu Qing cried softly. He regretted treating the children so coldly. He didn't even have time to apologize. As the children disappeared into their parents' arms with a smile. Nobody knew what to say that day. So much has happened and no one could put into words what you saw and felt in that moment. It was locked like a locked door and never spoken of again. A few years later, Mu Qing gave birth to two healthy children. But this time without complications and attack of the spirits. With Feng Xin at his side, he smiled at the children in his arms.
,,Welcome back, Nan Feng, Fu Yao."
