After sleeping for two days, Ye Zhen finally no longer felt as if something was drilling into her mind. She felt refreshed and comfortable.
When she reached the deck, she found that the scenery outside was completely different. She looked at the distant Milky Way that seemed to fall from the sky in surprise. This should be the largest and most magnificent river she had ever seen. Unlike the ones she had seen before, this river flowed down from the sky, winding and winding to an unknown place.
"That's the Tongtian River." Emperor Mo appeared behind her and reached out to hold her soft little hand. "I can only take you there."
"Oh." Ye Zhen nodded blankly. She already had an answer about the river in her heart. It was not surprising to hear it from Emperor Mo, but … it turned out that the Tongtian River was different from what she had imagined. It seemed more sacred and magnificent. Now that she was so shocked just from seeing it from afar, wouldn't it be even more different when she got closer?
There seemed to be a majestic and sacred power there that no one dared to look directly at.
"You're so cold." Emperor Mo chuckled. "Can't you show a little reluctance to part with me?"
"I'm sorry." Ye Zhen finally pulled her gaze back and met Emperor Mo's deep eyes. "I can't lie to myself. I feel very happy to be away from you."
Emperor Mo pursed his thin lips. "But I'm very sad."
Ye Zhen almost choked. She didn't expect him to be so straightforward.
"Mother!" Ming Xi came over from behind. He looked up at Emperor Mo and said in a low voice, "Lord Mo."
"Ming Xi, come over and let me have a look." When Ye Zhen saw her son, she immediately remembered that he had suffered a minor injury. She hurriedly hugged him and examined him. "Fortunately, you're fine."
"I said I'm fine." Ming Xi said in a low voice. He glanced at Emperor Mo again. He knew that Emperor Mo was taking a huge risk to send them away, and he was not in a good mood. They were already close to the Skyfall River, which was the closest to the Upper God Continent. They should be able to discover their presence soon.
Did he really have to watch his mother and father's parting turn into an eternal one?
He hesitated for two days and still didn't know what to say.
"Ming Xi, do you see that? That's the Tongtian River. We'll soon reach the Divine Continent." Ye Zhen could not hide the joy in her eyes.
"I know. I saw it just now." Mingxi pursed his lips and smiled. He looked at Emperor Mo. "Will City Lord Mo send us there?"
Ye Zhen replied, "If he doesn't go, we will go to the God's Continent by ourselves tomorrow."
Then … it's still a bit better. I hope Father can solve the problems in the Xuantian Continent as soon as possible and come to the human continent to meet with them as soon as possible.
Emperor Mo lowered his eyes and met his son's gaze. He smiled faintly. Take good care of your mother.
Ming Xi's nose turned sour as he forcefully turned his head.
Ye Zhen was still immersed in excitement, as if she could see Ming Yu and Mo Rongzhan tomorrow.
Thinking of Mo Rongzhan, she couldn't help but glance at Emperor Mo. To her surprise, she saw deep love and indulgence in his eyes. His gaze was extremely similar to the way Mo Rongzhan looked at her, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart. When she looked carefully again, his gaze was deep and serene.
She must have seen wrongly.
"You said that someone will pick us up tomorrow. Who is it?" It was too quiet between them, and the atmosphere was awkward and stiff. Ye Zhen had to find a topic to talk about.
"Sage An Ge. He is a Sage from the God's Continent. He has an eccentric personality. If he says anything, don't take it to heart." A faint smile appeared on Emperor Mo's face.
Ye Zhen had been in the Xuantian Continent for almost two years. Of course, she knew what kind of status the word Sage represented. Why did Emperor Mo sound like he was his little brother when he mentioned it?
"Is that … your friend?" Ye Zhen asked in confusion. She knew that Emperor Mo was a very proud man, but he should at least change his attitude towards Sages who were more honorable than he was.
Emperor Mo frowned and thought for a moment. "Sort of."
What do you mean by sort of! Ye Zhen looked at him speechlessly for a while. Forget it, this person probably doesn't care about others.
"I'm hungry," Emperor Mo suddenly said.
"…" Ye Zhen's delicate brows raised slightly. He had already cultivated to an insufferably arrogant level. Did he still need to eat human food?
"Yao Yao, go cook. I want to eat your cooking," Emperor Mo said in a low voice, a hint of anticipation in his tone.
Ye Zhen was about to refuse when Ming Xi called out from the side, "Mother, I want to eat your cooking too."
"Alright then, I'll go see if there's anything I can cook on the ship. Wait for me here." Ye Zhen naturally wouldn't refuse Ming Xi's request. Although Ming Xi also cultivated, he was still a growing child and definitely needed to eat.
Only father and son were left on the deck.
"If you are discovered, what will happen to you?" Ming Xi asked in a low voice.
"Nothing." Emperor Mo's gaze was calm and cold. "Take care of your mother and Ming Yu."
Ming Xi sniffed. "Will you be punished, or will you sever your emotions and desires and become a Sage? If you become a Sage, will you still find us in the future?"
"I will." Emperor Mo said calmly. "As long as I am alive, I will find you."
Alive … then what if …
Bah bah bah! Ming Xi shook his head forcefully in his heart. "Then you'll have to think about how you're going to explain it to your stupid mother."
Emperor Mo's lips curled into a faint smile. "I've already thought about it."
"…" Ming Xi rolled his eyes inwardly. I've worried for nothing.
After half an hour, Ye Zhen finally finished cooking. She wanted to call Bai Shisan and Fire Phoenix to eat together, especially Fire Phoenix who was the most gluttonous. However, they both declined as if they had something important to do.
In the end, only the three of them ate on the deck.
"Mother, I'll help you." Ming Xi came over to help Ye Zhen carry the food box.
"You've worked hard." Emperor Mo looked at her with a smile and conjured a table and three chairs on the deck.
Although it felt a little strange, Ye Zhen still walked over. "This meal is to thank you for sending us mother and son here."
"Alright." Emperor Mo nodded with a smile.
This was the first time in the Xuantian Continent that the three of them sat together for a meal.
Hiding in the corner, Fire Phoenix and Bai Shisan sighed with emotion.
"The City Lord is leaving tomorrow," Fire Phoenix said gloomily. "I really want to tell Yao Yao the truth."
"The City Lord will roast you." Bai Shisan said. Although he hoped that the Madam could stay, the City Lord must have his reasons for sending her away. The rest of them couldn't interfere.
"This is the first time I feel that the City Lord is quite pitiful." Shun Jun lowered his voice.
Bai Shisan and Fire Phoenix turned to look at him. The word 'pitiful' didn't seem to be suitable for the City Lord.
"It feels like … the City Lord is a little different. Has he recalled his memories of the human world?" Shun Jun said softly.
"…" Fire Phoenix suddenly looked at the godlike man on the deck. If that's really the case, what kind of torment is he enduring right now?
Indeed, he is very pitiful.
