It was Blood Demon's first time seeing this side of Miao Yi. He couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile, "Back then, he would do anything to kill me. I didn't expect him to have such a warm side."
Speaking of this, Yu Luocha giggled. "Didn't he treat me the same way before? There are many things that he was forced to do from his point of view. To be able to climb to the position of a general in such a short period of time, how could he not be resolute and decisive?"
Blood Demon asked curiously, "Speaking of that Nether Lieutenant, what's going on? The last time I saw him, he was still running the Morality Goods Store in Sky Street. I think he joined the Sky Street officials later on. I don't know what happened after that. "
"Morality Goods Store?" Yu Luocha was stunned for a moment before she realized that the Blood Demon had not been in contact with the outside world for a long time. She sorted out the information that she knew and said, "The Morality Grocery Store is not ordinary now. It's rolling in money and is one of the biggest businesses in the world. Its branches are almost all over the Heavenly Streets. Now that you mention it, I remember that the Morality Grocery Store was founded by him. He is indeed a capable man. He's been progressing too quickly these past few years, so he's naturally taken a lot of risks. It's not easy, and he's caused a lot of trouble. After selling off his shares of the Morality Goods Store to protect himself, he became the Deputy General of Sky Street … "
Ever since Miao Yi became a Deputy General, he captured the Black King and was promoted to the Commander of the Four Districts. He became the Great Commander of Sky Street after obtaining the title of Celestial Emperor in the Lifeless Lands. He became the Great Commander of Sky Street. He killed so many servants in Sky Street that their heads rolled. He offended someone and entered Purgatory. He single-handedly slaughtered his way through an army of a million soldiers. After leaving Purgatory, he was punished for robbing an actor and was transferred to the Imperial Guards as the Great Commander. He hung Heavenly King Ying's granddaughter, the Heavenly Concubine, on a flagpole. He made a great contribution in a trap operation in the phantom market and was promoted to the Black Dragon Division's Commander. He was then stationed at the Imperial Gardens. The Heavenly Concubine said something she shouldn't have when she was getting married and was sentenced to a thousand years in the Desolate Lands of Death …
Before this, Yu Luocha didn't know so much about him. Ever since she met Miao Yi face-to-face, she had investigated Miao Yi's past thoroughly. Now, she told him everything about Miao Yi, from when he was a Deputy General in Heaven's Street all the way to his current position as the Netherworld's Domain Chief. The Blood Demon was speechless as he listened.
"I didn't expect him to have gone through so many life and death situations in these few years. He's truly a legend." The Blood Demon couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. He recalled how he and Miao Yi had gone against each other all those years ago. Now that he thought about it, he found it a little ridiculous.
Yu Luocha smiled and said, "He's very famous now."
With Miao Yi keeping an eye on him, Ba Jie began to behave himself. He stood guard outside the sealed temple, taking turns with Grandmaster Qi Jie. He could no longer roam around freely like before.
On the other hand, Miao Yi would silently deliver game to the stilted house by the lakeside once every two days. This was equivalent to him hunting for a long period of time, ensuring that there would be plenty of food for Yu Luocha to nourish her body.
Yu Luocha and the Blood Demon didn't nitpick either. One of them quietly delivered the game, while the other quietly received it.
Several months passed like this. Finally, one day, after petrifying the demonic monk Nan Bo inside the temple, Miao Yi, Grandmaster Qi Jie, and Ba Jie all rushed to the stilted house by the lakeside.
Today was a special day. Ba Jie had received special permission from Miao Yi to come. In truth, he was a little reluctant to come, but after Miao Yi gave him a good beating, he finally decided to come along obediently.
"Ah … Ah …"
Yu Luocha's cries of pain could be heard coming from inside the stilted house.
Outside the stilted house, Grandmaster Qi Jie stood ramrod straight, fiddling with the prayer beads in his hand as he muttered something.
Miao Yi anxiously paced back and forth by the lakeside with his hands behind his back. Yu Luocha's cries of pain were making him a little anxious. If Yu Luocha still had her transcendence energy protecting her body, then he wouldn't have to worry about it. However, Yu Luocha was no different from a commoner right now. On top of that, Yu Luocha didn't have any experience with childbirth, and this was the Blood Demon's first time being a midwife.
Her cries of pain were truly heart-wrenching. Miao Yi didn't have any experience either. As far as he knew, what kind of person was Yu Luocha? If even this woman was in so much pain, could she be in some kind of danger? Especially the safety of the child.
Miao Yi was very anxious.
His face swollen and bruised, Ba Jie squatted beside a simple stove, boiling a large pot of water. He would occasionally glance at the stilted house, and occasionally add some firewood to the stove. He was clearly a little distracted, but when paired with his swollen face, he looked a little comical.
"Ah …" Suddenly, an even more painful cry came from inside the house.
Miao Yi's scalp went numb when he heard it. He turned around and saw Ba Jie's stupid expression. Unable to contain his anger, he walked over and kicked Ba Jie to the ground.
Sitting on the ground, Ba Jie said with an aggrieved expression, "Big Brother, I didn't do anything. Why did you hit me again?"
Miao Yi pointed at the stilted house where the cries were coming from and angrily rebuked, "Look at what you've done!"
"…" Ba Jie was speechless. He lowered his head in silence.
Unexpectedly, he had no choice but to say something. Miao Yi kicked Ba Jie again and said, "What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and boil the water!"
Ba Jie hurriedly got up and continued to crouch there, adding firewood to the stove.
"Gua … gua …" The loud cry of an infant suddenly came from inside the stilted house.
Miao Yi's spirits lifted. He turned around and quickly ran towards the stilted house. But as soon as he took a step up the stairs, he immediately retreated, remembering that it wasn't appropriate for him to enter.
Ba Jie couldn't help but stand up and look as well. Grandmaster Qi Jie's fingers stopped moving as he opened his eyes to look.
'Creak!' The door opened, and Blood Yao, with bloodstains on his hands, shouted in joy at the group of people waiting outside, "It's a boy! It's a boy! Both mother and child are safe! "
"Phew!" Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He clasped his hands together and looked up at the sky, a look of relief on his face. He could vaguely remember his godparents joking about this when they were still alive. They said that when his little brother grew up, he would have a fat grandson to hug. Now that the Zhang Clan finally had a descendant, he could finally answer to his godparents.
"Amitabha!" Grandmaster Qi Jie clasped his hands together and smiled.
Meanwhile, Ba Jie's expression twitched as he thought to himself, 'I have a son? What the hell is this? No! '
"Hot water! I want hot water! Hurry! "Blood Yao quickly shouted.
Miao Yi immediately pointed at Ba Jie and angrily said, "Bastard! What are you doing? Didn't you hear about hot water?"
"Oh … Oh …" Ba Jie was instantly flustered. He hurriedly poured a bucket of hot water and ran up the stairs to hand it to Blood Yao.
'Creak!' The door closed again.
"Grandmaster, you have a grand-disciple now. Congratulations." Miao Yi ran up to Grandmaster Qi Jie and cupped his fists to congratulate him.
Miao Yi made it seem as though someone was in a hurry to have this grand-disciple. Grandmaster Qi Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly returned the gesture and said, "Same to you!"
The two of them had finally relaxed and were discussing the matter of naming the child.
Ba Jie stood by the side all by himself. His eye sockets were bruised from being punched by Miao Yi, and he seemed a little distracted.
Inside the house, a pale-faced Yu Luocha lay on the bed. She watched as Blood Yao bustled back and forth, and weakly asked, "Is the boy's Big Uncle happy?"
Blood Yao pursed her lips and smiled. "He's so happy that he can't even close his mouth."
Yu Luocha heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she asked, "Is the child's father happy?"
Blood Yao's heart skipped a beat. She really couldn't tell that Ba Jie was happy. However, she still squeezed out a smile and said, "He's happy."
Yu Luocha seemed to sense something from Blood Yao's reaction, and her eyes dimmed a little.
When it was almost dark, the commotion in the house finally stopped. After tidying up the house, Blood Yao walked out with a swaddle in her arms. Miao Yi and Grandmaster Qi Jie immediately went over to her.
She gently lifted a corner of the swaddle, revealing a small, wrinkled face. The child's eyes were closed, and she was fast asleep.
Miao Yi reached out a finger to touch the baby's tender face, and chuckled. "You were crying so loudly just now. You look like you're sleeping soundly now."
Blood Yao softly said, "It took me a lot of effort just now to eat the colostrum. Now that I'm full, I think you must be tired as well."
Grandmaster Qi Jie said, "It's very windy outside. Hurry up and carry her back."
Miao Yi quickly covered the child's face. There was no one here who could control their transcendence energy. It would be troublesome if she were to contract an illness. He remembered that the mortality rate of children in the secular world was very high. Everyone's situation right now wasn't much different from that of the secular world. Miao Yi anxiously nodded and said, "Grandmaster is right. Hurry up and send her back."
Blood Yao carried the child over to Ba Jie's side and gestured for him to carry her and take a look.
Looking at the wrinkled, clownish face, Ba Jie didn't know what to feel. Fortunately, his own face was swollen from the beating, so it wasn't easy to see anything. Otherwise, he would probably get beaten up again.
After all, Yu Luocha's physical body had been tempered by spiritual energy for a long time. She recovered very quickly, and in just a few days, she was back to normal. As a result, a loving face could be seen strolling back and forth by the lakeside, carrying a baby in her arms.
Grandmaster Qi Jie was the one who named the child when he was one month old. When naming the child, Grandmaster Qi Jie pointed to his chest, then pointed to the clear surface of the lake outside the stilt house, and named her Zhang Xinhu. Yu Luocha was very satisfied with this name.
As for Ba Jie, Miao Yi no longer kept a close eye on him. Instead, he would urge Ba Jie to visit the mother and child from time to time.
As for Ba Jie, his attitude towards Yu Luocha had always been lukewarm. That was until one day, when Yu Luocha asked him to stay the night in her wooden hut. Only then did Ba Jie's face break into a smile, and he began to chat and laugh with Yu Luocha. He had also begun to accept the child, and from time to time, he would be seen carrying the child and strolling by the lakeside.
The happy days didn't last long before a heavy burden weighed down on everyone's hearts once again. To Miao Yi, whether to get rid of Yu Luocha or not was a difficult question. He was certain that Yu Luocha was thinking of using the child to save her own life, so he couldn't be sure if Yu Luocha would stop for the sake of the child. If she decided to burn the bridge after crossing it, then Miao Yi wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. If worse came to worst, the child had to be kept alive, but not the adult!
As the date of the formation's incontinence drew closer, Miao Yi, Ba Jie, and Yu Luocha — the three people involved in this matter — felt increasingly stifled. They all knew that they would have to face the consequences sooner or later.
Estimating that there was only one month left, Miao Yi invited everyone aside from Yu Luocha to the valley to discuss their departure.
After hearing Grandmaster Qi Jie's attitude, Miao Yi furrowed his brows and asked, "Grandmaster, are you really going to stay behind?"
Grandmaster Qi Jie sighed, "If there is no one to keep this place under control, who knows how many people will die to the demonic monk Nan Bo's Brahmic Chant. Almsgiver, you have never seen it with your own eyes, so you will never be able to imagine what it will be like."
The Blood Demon knew this very well. Even though she had been a Buddhist for many years, she still couldn't help but shudder at the thought of what she had done under the Brahmic Chant's control.
