Disturb Willow Deity
“That’s right. Those two girls are like flower buds. They are so beautiful that it’s hard to find them in this world. Little Hao, you can’t mistreat them. You have to hold a big wedding,” Shi Linghu also spoke in an imposing manner.
“No problem. We’ll help too.” The Nine-Headed Lion, Flame Crow, and the others enjoyed the chaos. They all held back their laughter and joined in on the jeering.
Shi Feijiao nodded and said, “You guys are definitely not ordinary people. I’m sure you’ll have a promising future. This time, let’s just treat you as the family member of these two girls and properly arrange things.”
The village was noisy. When they heard that Shi Hao was going to get married, everyone was excited. They began to discuss the preparations for the marriage.
The children shouted, making noise as they ran here and there.
“Tonight is the wedding night. After Shi Hao marries, they have to have a few children before he leaves again!”
“That’s right. This brat often leaves for a year or two on end. It really makes us worry too much. This time, we can’t let him go. Have some children first.”
A group of people were clamoring noisily. Apart from Shi Linghu, Shi Hao’s childhood playmates all hoped that he would leave behind a few children to carry on his legacy.
Shi Hao tried to hold back the urge to laugh loudly.
Yun Xi and Huo Ling’er were so scared that their beautiful faces lost color. That was too much! Didn’t they just come to pay Stone Village a visit? Why did they have to have children here?!
They wanted to explain, but they couldn’t. The villagers saw that the two of them were carried back by Shi Hao. This was in line with Stone Village’s custom of marriage.
Their faces were completely red. They were at a loss as to what to do. They pinched Shi Hao’s waist with all their strength, asking him to explain. In the end, the devilish brat became quiet, not saying a single word. He was secretly happy.
“Child, don’t be scared. There’s nothing to be scared of. I’ve been through this before. I’ll teach you two later.” Ermeng’s mother smiled benevolently and advised the two of them.
Yun Xi and Huo Ling’er were nervous and embarrassed. Even if they were getting married, they still couldn’t act so carelessly. What was going on?
The two of them stopped their wild imagination. They were already thinking so much, and their faces were burning. Why did they really think about marriage?
“Aunt, you misunderstood.”
Their faces were red as they explained.
“Uncle, please don’t say that! It’s not like what you all think at all!”
…
The village became quiet. Everyone looked at the two of them and didn’t say anything. However, the passion in their eyes didn’t weaken in the slightest.
In the end, Dazhuang’s mother broke the silence and said, I know that you all are shy. Don’t worry. No one will laugh at you.”
“Right, don’t worry.” The group of people were still enthusiastic, all of them talking at once, discussing how to hold the banquet, as well as how to celebrate the wedding night.
The two young ladies were truly frightened. They gave Shi Hao a beating before fleeing in panic. Their clothes fluttered about in a beautiful way.
“Little Hao, why aren’t you chasing after them? The two girls are shy.” An old granny said.
Shi Hao coughed and said, “Uncles, aunts, Grandpa Chief, don’t have to worry. I can handle my own matters. Today isn’t a good day to get married, and I already discussed it with them a long time ago. We have to wait another year because we still have some things to settle outside. Today, we came back just to let everyone take a look. Are you satisfied?”
“What’s more important than getting married earlier?”
The villagers all wished for him to get married as soon as possible. They scolded and advised him, but in the end, they still followed his own opinion.
Everyone dispersed, starting to prepare all types of wine and meat in the village. They were going to entertain the two girls, the Nine-Headed Lion, and the others. After all, this was the first time Shi Hao brought people back to the village.
Yun Xi and Huo Ling’er were embarrassed. They had never been in such a sorry state before. Right now, their faces were still burning. This shameless devilish brat had no shame. Just now, he purposely didn’t say a word.
Ever since they were born, this was the first time they ran because of something like this. Just thinking about it made their pretty faces burn. Right now, their faces were like peach blossoms.
The village became quiet. When the two girls returned, they scolded Shi Hao. They really wanted to give Shi Hao a beating, which made Flame Crow, Sable, and the others laugh.
“We aren’t finished with you!” The two were ashamed and resentful, rolling their beautiful eyes at him.
Shi Hao didn’t mind. He smiled as he showed them around Stone Village.
All his friends were curious about Stone Village. There wasn’t a single one who didn’t want to see what was going on. Under Shi Hao’s guidance, they carefully observed it.
“There are many spiritual medicines!” They were speechless. In this small village, there were several dozen spiritual herbs. There was even a silver peach tree that was a quasi-saint medicine. Multicolored light overflowed in all directions, and spiritual essence flourished.
This was too shocking. They felt more and more that this was a transcendent holy land because a stalk of spiritual medicine needed the nourishment of a spiritual mountain, yet that rule was overturned here.
“Only the medicinal fields cultivated by the ancient great powers can be planted in such a concentrated manner. Stone Village has surpassed the great sects of the mortal world!” The Rainbow Luan said.
Yun Xi was also moved. The Heavenly Divine Mountain had a few medicinal fields that could plant spiritual medicines in a compact manner. They were cultivated by heavenly deities in the archaic era, and special formations were set up.
Shi Hao laughed and said, “I am that great figure. If you don’t believe me, I’ll plant a few dozen more for you all to see.”
He had already used up several dozen stalks of spiritual medicines in the Medicine Capital, but the roots were all preserved and nourished by the Immortal Spring’s sediment. Now, he took them out and began to plant them.
Everyone sighed in admiration. There was no way they wouldn’t live. What was the Immortal Spring? For creatures, it was the liquid of life, and the soil that received its nourishment could naturally support spiritual plants.
Then, they noticed that there were a few small creatures in Stone Village like Lightning Hounds, Scarlet Feathered Cranes, little golden monkeys, and others. They were all extremely powerful descendants, and they were even more amazed.
These young creatures had all become the spiritual pets of those naughty children in the village. If they were raised in the future, wouldn’t that be a terrifying strength?
In the end, with reverence in their hearts, the group once again arrived at the village entrance to pay their respects to that large green willow tree that was emitting multicolored light. They were inwardly nervous.
When facing this spiritual root that was full of vitality, it was as if they were facing a supreme deity!
“There is no need to be scared. Willow Deity is extremely calm. It never uses its divine might to suppress others,” Shi Hao said, telling them not to be nervous.
He was proven right. A chicken walked past the tree without realizing it. Then, it lay under the willow tree and gave everyone a sidelong glance.
“Why do I feel like I’m being looked down on? Hey, it’s an Octadic Treasure Chicken!” The Nine-Headed Lion was shocked.
Yun Xi’s heart also skipped a beat. Even in the Heavenly Divine Mountain, there were only one or two of these rare creatures left. How could a small village like Stone Village have everything?
“Go away.” Shi Hao sent the Octadic Treasure Chicken flying with a kick, making it gurgle. It was extremely displeased.
“Willow Deity, I encountered a huge problem outside, so I wish to ask you for guidance,” Shi Hao spoke under the willow tree. He frowned and told the tree everything he knew while Yun Xi filled in the blanks.
“There are some things that are better left unknown,” Willow Deity said softly. Green multicolored light scattered down. The soft and tender branches were like silk, carrying a divine aura, making one’s mind calm.
“Willow Deity, do you know the truth?” Shi Hao asked.
“When you reach that level, you’ll understand. If you pursue the root of the problem right now, you’ll only bring trouble onto yourself,” the Willow Deity said calmly.
“Why?” Shi Hao was reluctant, wishing to get to the bottom of this.
“If I know the truth, I’ll be erased in the end. Meanwhile, I am still recovering, so I don’t want to get involved in the confrontation of this tribulation,” Willow Deity said calmly.
“What?!” The group of people’s expressions changed.
The Willow Deity made it clear. If Shi Hao knew the truth, once the news got out, he would be killed. Meanwhile, if the Willow Deity stood up for him, it would be dragged into the great calamity.
“Willow Deity, will you leave?” Shi Hao brought up the Heavenly Divine Mountain’s archaic formation, which could take them away.
“I am not leaving.” Willow Deity was extremely calm.
“Why?” Shi Hao’s mind was shaken. He came back precisely to ask Willow Deity if he was going to leave or not.
“I came precisely for this region.” Those words were for Shi Hao’s ears only.
Shi Hao couldn’t believe it. He thought of the chief’s words. Back then, the Willow Deity descended from the Nine Heavens while bathing in a sea of lightning, shocking the world!
Was Willow Deity an existence from another world? Shi Hao’s mind surged with heaven-overflowing waves.
“The insect on your head isn’t simple. It doesn’t belong to this world. It’s unique.” Willow Deity suddenly spoke these words, looking at the Emperor Butterfly in Shi Hao’s hair.
At this time, Second Baldy wobbled over. There was still no hair on its body, and it gave Yun Xi a sidelong glance with a pompous appearance.
“It’s you…” Yun Xi was shocked.
“Little girl, back then, your grandfather chased me so hard that I was forced to hide in the Hundred Shattering Mountains. Today, you’re not leaving, just stay here and be someone’s wife!” Second Baldy said fiercely.
“That was because you sneaked into the Heavenly Divine Mountain and coveted the divine treasure!” Yun Xi glared at it. The secret of that archaic formation was first discovered by Second Baldy, and only in recent years did the Heavenly Divine Mountain learn about it.
“The past is already in the past. Forget it. I won’t bicker with him. However, when we meet again, he still has to beg me!” Second Baldy was extremely brash.
“Beg you?” Yun Xi sneered.
“Do you all think that you’ve studied that archaic formation thoroughly, that it’s enough as long as you have the armguard? You are still far from it!” Second Baldy was disdainful and extremely arrogant.
“You’re boasting!” Yun Xi didn’t believe him.
“Within these eight regions, I dare say that no one understands them better than me unless someone from another world comes,” Second Baldy said proudly.
“Let me think for a bit. Transcend the eight regions and escape. Such an archaic formation… Well, this matter isn’t simple,” Willow Deity spoke again.
As soon as it spoke, everyone became quiet, not daring to speak randomly. After a while, it made a decision. It asked Shi Hao and Second Baldy to go to the Heavenly Divine Mountain to take a look.
Second Baldy’s face immediately fell. Back then, it had brought disaster to quite a few things in the Heavenly Divine Mountain. Later on, it was chased down. If it really went there now, it would most likely be cooked.
Shi Hao also frowned. If he went, what could he recognize? He definitely wouldn’t be able to see through that archaic formation.
“I recalled some past events and felt that it was a bit strange. Under normal circumstances, how could there be a life gate like this? I will secretly travel with you to see what is going on,” Willow Deity said in his mind.
Immediately afterward, Shi Hao was shocked. A tall and slender figure walked out from the willow tree with unmatched style. The figure could look down on all things.
However, apart from Shi Hao, no one else could see or feel anything.
In that instant, Shi Hao couldn’t see anything either. He rubbed his eyes, his heart pounding non-stop. In the end, he had a feeling that Willow Deity was right at his side.
