Chapter 1440: Chapter 6: Fated Calamity (Part 2)
The next day, the little boy that Ye Lingyue rescued finally woke up.
After waking up, he was silent, just staring blankly. He couldn’t see the things around him and didn’t want to speak to those beside him.
He seemed to be in a hard protective shell, refusing to interact with the outside world and not letting anyone touch him.
Realizing the boy couldn’t see, Little Ling Yue became anxious.
Ji Ru Mo could only tell Little Ling Yue that it was because of excessive sadness and that his eyes would recover after some time.
"You’re awake, you’ve been hungry all day. Would you like to eat something? My mother said that after a patient wakes up, they should first drink some sugar-salt water, and then have some porridge." Worried about his health, Little Ling Yue approached with a bowl of water.
"Get away." Hearing the word "mother" triggered the boy’s anger, and he forcefully pushed away Little Ling Yue.
Unprepared, Little Ling Yue fell to the ground.
Spoiled by her parents since she was small, she had never been treated so harshly. Her lips puckered as she was about to cry.
But then, soft sobbing came from the bed. The boy choked back his tears, biting his lip in an attempt not to cry.
His father had said that the men of the Xi Clan were heroes who never cried, even if they bled to their last drop.
"Big brother, don’t cry. Uncle Ru Mo has already cremated your mother, this is her urn." Seeing his sadness, Little Ling Yue felt embarrassed to cry.
Well, compared to the big brother, she only scraped a little skin, which she could lick and make better.
Little Ling Yue pitied herself as she firmly placed the urn in the boy’s hands.
The boy stopped sobbing and tightly held the urn.
"Why aren’t you talking? Is it because you’re unhappy?" Little Ling Yue glanced at the boy, seeing he remained silent, before suddenly leaning forward and kissing his cheek.
"What are you doing!" Though he couldn’t see, he recognized the voice as a little girl younger than him who had saved him.
At seven, he was vaguely aware of the differences between genders.
Kissing was something for close people, and thinking about it made his face redden.
"When my mother is unhappy, my father comforts her by kissing her." Little Ling Yue said innocently. "So, are you feeling happier now?"
Little Ling Yue’s voice was soft and sweet, like a melodious song, softening the boy’s heart.
Before the upheaval, he had been an obedient and gentle child.
"A bit better, thank you, I... I am Xi Jiuye. In the future, you shouldn’t kiss others like that." Xi Jiuye said softly.
"Why?" Little Ling Yue asked with wide eyes, but her parents were always happy when she kissed them.
"It’s hard to explain, but... besides your parents... and me, don’t kiss others." Xi Jiuye said domineeringly, his face flushing again.
Though he couldn’t see his little rescuer, Xi Jiuye subconsciously saw her as someone belonging to him.
"Oh, I understand." Little Ling Yue didn’t fully grasp his words.
In the following days, Little Ling Yue continued caring for Xi Jiuye, and without realizing it, they became close playmates.
Meanwhile, the battle at the Divine Fall Plain reached its conclusion.
Ye Beiming killed Xi Sanqian in fierce combat, while Yun Sheng and Mingri defeated the High Priest and freed Bo Bo from the Xi Clan’s forbidden area.
To prevent the Xi Clan from reviving, Mingri and Ye Beiming exiled their members to the Extreme North, never allowing their return to the Divine World.
Having done that, the Four Directions Divine Sovereign arrived with Divine Soldiers and Generals at the Yunshen Plain.
"Ye Beiming, Mingri, you two have caused great trouble, especially you, Ye Beiming. As a demigod, you stirred turmoil in the Divine World. I have orders from Emperor Huo Yan to take you to the Heavenly Court for interrogation." The Four Directions Divine Sovereign said sternly.
"Four Directions Divine Sovereign, I am married to Ye Beiming; we’ll share difficulties and blessings. I insist on accompanying him to the Heavenly Court." Yun Sheng refused to let Ye Beiming face interrogation alone.
"Mother Goddess, this started with Bo Bo, not the Kirin or Master. If punishment is due, it should be Bo Bo alone." Bo Bo pleaded with the Four Directions Divine Sovereign, but this time, even he couldn’t help them.
"Bo Bo, Mingri, don’t make trouble. Right and wrong will be judged by the Four Divine Emperors. Rest assured, Mother Goddess will try to protect them." With reassurance from the Four Directions Divine Sovereign, Bo Bo and Mingri felt easier and accepted their temporary separation from Yun Sheng and others.
"Four Directions Divine Sovereign, my daughter remains in the Yunshen Plain, she’s very young. I beg you to let me find her before facing interrogation." Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming were worried for their daughter’s safety.
The Four Directions Divine Sovereign agreed, and Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming contacted Ji Ru Mo to find the Divine Race village.
"Daddy, Mommy!" Little Ling Yue flew toward them like a little bird upon seeing her parents.
"Ling Yue, let Mommy take a good look." Yun Sheng had learned the details from Ji Ru Mo, who omitted Xi Jiuye’s possible Xi Clan ties for Yun Sheng’s peace of mind.
Seeing their daughter unharmed, Ye Beiming’s face broke into a smile.
"Daddy, Mommy, Ling Yue wants..." Little Ling Yue reluctantly glanced at the familiar house in the village, wishing she had time to say goodbye to Little Jiuye.
"The Four Divine Emperors await, you cannot delay further." Urged by the Four Directions Divine Sovereign, the family left the Divine Race village heading to the Heavenly Court.
Little Ling Yue took a last look at the village, saying in her heart, "Big Brother, recover soon and remember me when we next meet."
Concerned for Little Jiuye’s wellbeing, Ye Lingyue gave a village member some money to have their daughter take care of Xi Jiuye in her stead.
In the village, Xi Jiuye gradually recovered after Little Ling Yue’s treatment, and after several days, he could finally open his eyes.
"You’re awake?" A rough-spoken village girl stood before him...
