LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 12: Leaving Reluctantly, Please Remember Our Promise
"That quick?"
"That's right. Her Highness, the saintess, has come out to hunt for her third spirit ring this time. She'll be returning to carry out the saintess coronation ceremony and officially become the saintess of Spirit Hall."
Gui Mei explained the reason. Spirit Hall's saintess, that was a position that was envied by tens of thousands of spirit masters.
Spirit Hall was on par with the three upper sects, and would become a top force that could suppress the three upper sects.
"Alright, that's a good thing. I believe that all of you will be able to become the continent's top spirit master in the future."
"Those who catch the people's hearts would be able to rule the world. As long as you are kind and stick to your original intentions, Spirit Hall will have an extremely bright future."
Su Zhe patted Gui Mei's shoulder and gave him a bright smile.
Immediately after, he went to call Bibi Dong, "Sister Dong'er, the water is ready. Go and test the temperature. If it's suitable, you can take a bath now."
"Alright!"
Gui Mei was stunned on the spot, deep in thought, as if he had learnt something new.
Listening to his words was better than studying for years!
His Highness made a lot of sense!
Since ancient times, the rise and fall of dynasties and the change of history were all because of the support of the commoners. Those who have neglected the power of the commoners will end up being overruled with the rising of a talented superpower amongst the commoners.
For example, in the current Heaven Battle Empire, the Xue royal family wasn't very strong. None of them were titled Douluo but they still ruled over the people of the Empire.
How could such a clan sit and rule the world?
That was because of the charisma of a leader!
During the founding of the country, the first great Emperor of the Xue family had used benevolence and righteousness as his foundation to gain the support of the people of the country. The experts of the various sects had also followed the trend and supported the Xue family in establishing the country.
This was how the Heaven Battle Empire came about.
There was a meaning behind the name of Heaven Battle Empire. The battles in this empire will always be fair.
It was also because of this that the Heaven Battle Empire once had a golden age, loved by everyone.
However, with the passing of power, each generation was worse than the last. They enjoyed glory and wealth but could not empathize with the people. The lives of the peasants became harder and harder, and the rulers became more and more corrupt. Then, came the unavoidable deterioration.
Gui Mei had grown up in a miserable environment. His family was unfortunate and a group of rich young masters liked bullying him. Once, they even encouraged him to jump into the Devil Lake where the demons were suppressed.
The lake was very deep and there was a mysterious attraction to it. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.
Just when Gui Mei felt that he was going to die, the devil hiding in the lake appeared.
Perhaps it was some kind of special charm, the devil didn't kill Gui Mei, but made a deal with Gui Mei and bestowed him with an extremely strange ghost fire spirit.
After that, Gui Mei experienced a lot and experienced a lot of suffering from the bottom. Step by step, he woke up, took revenge, and finally joined Spirit Hall. He obtained the help of a powerful spirit master, who allowed Gui Mei to fuse with the devil that was residing in his body, and was no longer under the control of the devil.
That was how Gui Mei came to be today.
As for his previous name, it was very old-fashioned and ordinary. Some people called him Ah Gui but very few people knew his full name: Wang Fugui.
Those from the Spirit Hall that helped him were no one else but Bibi Dong's birth parents. However, they had already died in an unexpected operation.
This was also the reason why he accepted the mission that the Supreme Pontiff had given him to protect the Saintess, Bibi Dong.
"Your Highness is truly a wise man, a hidden God in the world. If your Highness is willing to leave the Leisure Manor and rule the world, how great would that be!"
Gui Mei sighed.
However, Su Zhe was not as noble as Gui Mei thought he was. He only wanted to farm his own land, survive steadily, find a good wife with a hot body, and live a shameless and happy life together.
"Brother Su Zhe, can I trouble you to pass a bath towel to your future wife?"
The light flickered, and Su Zhe heard Bibi Dong's voice. He took out a towel from the box, and vaguely saw the alluring figure in the room, her S-shaped curve perfectly reflected on the door frame.
A fair hand reached out and Bibi Dong's face was flushed as she took the towel from Su Zhe, "Thank you!"
Clang!
Su Zhe didn't even have time to take a closer look before Bibi Dong closed the door. Her pure white body sank into the wooden barrel, her pretty face half-covered, and bubbles coming out of her mouth. He didn't know what she was thinking.
'Sigh, as expected, she's still a little girl. Although she talks a lot and wants to be someone's wife at the drop of a hat, she's still very conservative when it comes to such scenes.
Su Zhe shook his head and laughed. He had seen through the little girl's mind.
'Even that noble, cold, and decisive Supreme Pontiff can't predict the thoughts of a growing young girl.' Su Zhe thought of it in his mind.
The next day.
The sun slowly rose from the East. A ray of golden light shone on everything in the world, on the manor, on the flowers and spiritual plants, swaying the light of life, making the land full of vitality and vitality.
A large rooster with its head raised stood high up and let out a loud cry.
"Cookoooo!"
"Cookoooo!"
"Cookoooo!"
Su Zhe got up from the bed and looked at the other side of the room. Bibi Dong was still sound asleep. He opened the door quietly to avoid waking her up.
There were no guest rooms in the small farmyard. Last night, they had tidied up the warehouse and made two rooms for Gui Mei and the others to temporarily stay in.
He didn't expect that in the middle of the night, Bibi Dong would come to his room with a quilt, saying that the deacon next door was snoring and she couldn't stand it.
Then, without saying a word, she lay down on his bed and said, "We'll be married sooner or later, so what's wrong with sleeping with each other now?"
Then, she tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep.
Left with no choice, Su Zhe could only get a bamboo bed to rest. Bibi Dong slept well, like an exquisite sleeping doll, and the night was peaceful.
Unbeknownst to him, Bibi Dong's heart had been tense at the beginning, both scared and expectant.
'Will brother Su Zhe sleep on me and hug me?'
But….the result was obvious. Brother Su Zhe was a gentleman!
┭┮﹏┭┮
But….why does Bibi Dong looks disappointed?
"Yes, it's another peaceful and beautiful day. Unfortunately, the air seems to be mixed with the sadness of separation."
As he slowly walked out of the farmyard, he was greeted by a sea of green. There were houses for chickens, dogs, cows-and sheeps and his farm filled with fruits, vegetables, beans, and pergola.
Su Zhe's mood was instantly lifted. A gentle breeze was blowing, making him feel a little cool.
Su Zhe grabbed a handful of golden granules in front of the door with great familiarity and threw them in front of the old hen that had already grown a nine-colored tail, immediately attracting a bunch of chicks to come and peck at them.
With a faint smile, he stroked the hen's bright feathers. They were smooth and soft, and the others who saw it would always praise, "You're so beautiful."
After receiving the praise from its master, the old hen raised its head proudly, as if it understood the human language.
Then, Su Zhe picked up the watering can to water the vegetable garden. The flowers and plants inside swayed and glowed with a faint glow.
He sprinkled some fish food into the pond beside the stream, which immediately attracted the myriad flower koi to. They curled up their mouths and blew bubbles with their whiskers longer than their bodies.
After that, Su Zhe fetched a bucket of clear and cool water from the well. With a simple wash up, he went into the kitchen.
He can't allow Sister Dong 'er and the Deacon Gui to start their journey with an empty stomach. So, he decided to prepare some dry food for them and made them breakfast.
"Since the Deacon's body is so thin and seems a little weak, I'll give him a bowl of Wolfberry Dragon Skin Tea. It can strengthen his Yang and should make the Deacon look radiant."
"It's a good thing I know that the dragon skin is a treasure. I cut it off from the Thunder Divine Dragon and kept it. Well, Ghost Deacon, you're in luck that I didn't make this into a stew."
"As for Sister Dong 'er, she looks good already. I'll hust make her a bowl of light breakfast porridge."
Su Zhe made breakfast for Gui Mei and Bibi Dong, specifically for their characteristics.
After clearing his mind, Su Zhe came to his vegetable garden, stepped across a sandy soil, and picked a dozen or so of plump and round wolfberry fruits from a multi-branched shrub about a meter tall.
After picking the ingredients, Su Zhe returned to the kitchen and began to make the delicious green food.
By the time Bibi Dong and Gui Mei woke up, the small courtyard was already filled with a faint fragrance. With one deep breath, they immediately felt comforted.
"Sie Su Zhe, you're up so early?"
"The sun is already high in the sky. It's getting late."
Usually, he would be working in the fields at this time!
Su Zhe smiled faintly as he served the breakfast he had prepared for them. "You woke up just in time. I'll prepare some soup and porridge for you and Sister Dong 'er. Drink it while it's hot."
"We're really sorry to trouble you to cook for us."
Gui Mei gave a deep bow to Su Zhe. How could an expert like Sir Su Zhe serve their food and drink? He can't accept such honours!
Sir Su Zhe was indeed someone easy to get close to and has such a charming personality. It was really admirable.
"It smells so good!"
"That refreshing fragrance must be coming from Brother Su Zhe! What delicious food did you make this time?"
At this time, Bibi Dong also got up, happily coming to Su Zhe's side, curiously looking at him.
"Goji dragon skin soup, congee with preserved egg and lean meat for the Deacon Gui and a nutritious vegetable congee for you."
Su Zhe patted Bibi Dong's head, speaking indifferently.
Bibi Dong's head tilted, "Why does the Deacon Gui have one more dish than me? You like him more than me, do you?"
Bibi Dong forced an answer out of Su Zhe.
At that moment, Su Zhe felt like a boyfriend being interrogated by his girlfriend.
"What are you thinking? I noticed how Deacon Gui looked a little weak so I made him a meal to nourish his body. However, it's not good to eat such a nourishing thing in the morning but I had no other choice. After all, you're about to leave."
Gui Mei was stunned and wanted to cry but there were no tears coming out of his eyes. "Your Highness, I, Gui Mei, only look thin but in fact, I'm very strong; especially now where my spirit has evolved and my physique has changed. It's hard for ordinary spirit emperors to be a match for me!"
He would definitely beat up the rest of them when he returned!
"Alright..."
Bibi Dong reluctantly believed Su Zhe's explanation.
After all, who could say no to such good food?
After breakfast, they tidied up a little, then Gui Mei and Bibi Dong prepared to return to Spirit Hall.
Gui Mei even asked for a Velvet Skyreach chrysanthemum from Su Zhe, saying that it was for a friend.
After sending them to the entrance of the Leisure Manor, Su Zhe watched them leave and sighed.
To be honest, although the two days of interaction had broken his usual tranquility, it had also added color to his lonely life.
However, before Bibi Dong left, she reluctantly kissed him on the face, leaving behind a sentence that made Su Zhe's mouth twitch, "Brother Su Zhe, don't forget our promise. I'll be back soon, so don't be with another woman behind my back!"
