The Journey of Flower - Chapter 125
– The storm is brewing
When she woke up the next day, Hua Qiangu was still sleeping on him as if he was dead. She didn’t feel his breathing, it was too quiet which was a bit too scary. Bai Zihua’ body was pressed and lost consciousness. Only the fingers could move slightly.
Frowning and observing her from very close distance, trying to find a sense of familiarity in this person. He used to ponder many times before. His life is like a well-arranged chess game, always used to keep everything under control. But he did not expect that one step wrong, all the steps are wrong. From the day he lost Xiao Gu, he was like a broken string, no longer has the heart to think of anything else. He would do what comes to mind. Looking back, he realized he had done it even before himself knew it. Just like now, it turned out himself could also be this casual.
Obviously, he could use different methods, and easily defuse Xiao Gu’s waywardness, but why did he agree with her? Was it because he has caused her so much pain, and no longer able to refuse her? Or he simply could not stand her completely indifferent and neglect of himself, wanted to get closer to her and go back to the way they used to be? But now, how could they both teacher and disciple inappropriately sleep on the same bed? And even more frightening is that he feels a little warm and comfort in his heart. What’s wrong with himself?
He moved slightly and tried to remove the person on top of his body.
Hua Qiangu felt the uneasiness of the person underneath her, she slowly wakes up. She hasn’t slept so soundly like this for a long time, and did not have a nightmare.
“Good morning.” It seems that a lot of things have been forgotten. In this world have only she and him are existing, living in a peaceful and beautiful life. Hua Qiangu opened her misty eyes and smile rested on her lips. She raised her head and gently rub his chin with the tip of her nose. Bai Zihua was apparently frightened by her intimacy, and what frightened him the most was her natural behavior. As if they were never teacher and disciple but lover. Fear flashed across his eyes, and immediately pushed her down, but he felt sore all over his body.
“Sorry, didn’t you sleep well?” She forgot that he is now only a mortal. Hua Qiangu casually spat out her tongue as if she has done something wrong.
Bai Zihua dazed for awhile. That’s right, no matter how much she has changed, changed her posture, appearance, and also her temperament. She’s always his Xiao Gu, his disciple whom he loves with all his heart.
“Let me help you massage it.” Hua Qiangu was in a good mood, she reached out to pinch his shoulder, but he quickly escaped.
Hua Qiangu helplessly turning around, and looked at the empty room. Suddenly as she pointed her fingers, bookcase, table, chairs, a small table, curtains …all kinds of items appeared out of thin air, gradually filling the surrounding. On the ground was covered by thick white velvet carpet, and the temperature has also risen a lot.
Bai Zihua could not help but sigh. Creating is a great power, only God has such power. But Xiao Gu did not understand, the whole world is in between her thoughts. If the Creator treats everything as a play thing and nothing to do with herself, she simply does not fit to be a God at all.
“Hungry?”
Suddenly there were many food that Bai Zihua likes to eat appeared on the table. Hua Qiangu handed him chopsticks. In the past he used to accompany her to eat. Now she doesn’t need it anymore, it is her turn to accompany her. This made her feel relieved and sad at the same time.
Neither of them talked anymore. Hua Qiangu looked at the peach on the table, and finally could no longer hold it. It’s no use deceiving herself and others, Tangbao is gone, everything is no longer the same. Before, three of them ate together, and now only two of them are left.
“I am full, you take your time. It’s good for your health to go out and take a stroll. If you need anything, can …” She wanted to say you can instruct the servant, but suddenly she remembered there is no one in the Wu Wang Hall. He lost his immortal body, naturally it is impossible to fly to other halls, which is like being imprisoned here alone.
When Bai Zihua looked up again, the person in front of him is gone. Putting down the chopsticks, he turned around and look out the window, the sky seems to be sunny.
Suddenly there were many fairy maidservants appeared in Wu Wang Hall, coming and going. The two masters basically don’t need to be waited upon, works are very little, very idle with nothing to do, just carelessly gossips everyday. They are randomly gossips about High Immortal still the same as before being out of this world, Honorable God’s beauty. How much Honorable God dots on High Immortal, followed his every word. The forbidden love between teacher and disciple and so on.
A person on the side opened her mouth: “That year when I was at Immortal Jade Pool, I saw Honorable God and High Immortal, that year Honorable God was only this tall.”
More than a gesture, it attracted a swarm of people around. Gossip, whether in the immortal world or here, there are always endless gossip. They are not afraid of the demon god, only afraid of Zhu Ran. Everytime when Zhu Ran came, everyone of them pretended to be as good as a kitten.
There aren’t so many rules here like in the heavenly palace. In addition has a beauty to see, very happy and relaxed. Serving by the side of the most powerful demon god in the Six Realms. Inevitably, they began to become self-reliant. Opening and closing their mouths all about Her Majesty Honorable God, or our family master. They are no longer had fear like at the beginning.
Bai Zihua hardly ever used them, but in private, he often asked them about things in the Cloud Palace, and the place where the people from Immortal Realm are locked up. There are some that are fearless of death, received abundant good grace from the High Immortal before, stole the map of the Cloud Palace and planned to distribute it to him. It’s just that there are thousand of buildings in the palace, floating with the clouds. It’s not easy to figure it out for a while.
And everyday those fairy maids, are like the competition between bee and pupa scramble over outside the door days and nights waiting to attend upon the Honorable God. In their imaginations, inside the room, Honorable God and High Immortal sleep on the same bed, wouldn’t they do something to make people blush? In the morning, they could also see the High Immortal’s pale and weak appearance when he went out. What makes people even vomiting blood is that rumor has it that sometimes at night they can even hear High Immortal’s low gasp for breath.
Every time when the fairy maidservants are together, they always discussed about these. It’s like boiling the pot, and they all pinched their fists and waved the excitement, as if they saw the live scene. The description was extremely detailed, the description made people hot blood surging with erotic pictures. Even the way they usually look at Bai Zihua have become shady, and the faces are red like cooked shrimps.
Not to mention the biting wounds and various marks left by his neck. The floating rumors and some small versions, described how the High Immortal was tossed around and moaning under Honorable God every night. As a result, there was a heated discussion about feminism and power politics. In the end, there were unanimously supported Her
Majesty Honorable God to create a women’s world, and implemented a polyandry system, so that the little fairy maidservants like them could raise their head high for once.
However, the imagination can only be an imagination. In front of the Honorable God, they are still not dare to be impudent. Even if they occasionally make a mistake, the High Immortal only casually make a remark, then everything will be fine. But the one they need to beware of the most is Zhu Ran. Any errors were reported there, they would die soundlessly without trace.
The relationship between Bai Zihua and Hua Qiangu has been eased alot. Although both of them have in their own self-deceiving, they can finally be able to stay in the room together calmly without mocking words or could- spoken.
Hua Qiangu originally thought that because the persistence in her heart has harmed too many people. Even if she is omnipotent now, she can’t be persistent in loving him or keeping him by your side anymore. But after all, she still couldn’t resist it. When she was holding him at night, for the first time in such a long time, she felt alive. Maybe this was not a bad thing.
His blood is her sleeping pill. She’s careful not to hurt him, still she can’t help but use another way to satisfy her own desires. Deliberately not removing the wound on his neck. She likes to see her marks that left on his body, as if to prove something.
At the moment, when the blood dissolved at night, the two always have ambiguous thoughts surging up violently in their hidden minds, but it did not flow. It felt like something was not right, perhaps he and Hua Qiangu did not understand it.
Bai Zihua rarely speak, and everytime he spoke, all of them have the meaning of persuasion. He probably knew of something, has Hua Qiangu not to do it, or let people go. He knew that the outside has already spread out the rumors about them, and spread awful rumors about him, but he didn’t care about all of these. What made him unaccustomed to was that Hua Qiangu needed to suck up his blood every night, and hugged him to sleep. And what made him more intolerable was that he had gradually taken the matter he shared the same bed and pillow with her as a matter of course.
Night after night, he’s like a string that gets tighter and tighter, and become more sensitive. He can’t just drag it on like that, there is no substantial change in things.
Finally, he waited until Hua Qiangu and Zhu Ran are not in the Cloud Palace, Bai Zihua went out of the Wu Wang Hall and rushed to the Kun Luo Hall. Although he lost his immortal body, his martial arts is not weak. Almost everyone knows him, so no one dared to stop him. Wherever he goes, there was no obstructed along the way.
Planning and preparation are already in place, so it is not difficult to release people. Almost all of the people that get locked up by Zhu Ran are the sect leaders of the immortal realm or the high prestige elders, which is convenient for controlling the forces of all parties.
The guards are all in an extremely difficult position They knelt down before him, did not dare to disobey him, but also not dare to let go of people. Both ways are dead.
“Don’t be afraid, I will take full responsibility.” After Bai Zihua gave his word, the guards were not hesitate no more and make way.
“High Immortal, why don’t you go with us?” They have been detained for so long so they did not know very well how Bai Zihua who already lost his immortality be able to break in and save them. And seemed that they have not been blocked, but at the end he still insist to stay behind and bear the blame.
“There are still some things left unfinished. Don’t worry, she won’t hurt me.”
Naturally, everyone knows who the “she” is, soon after he helped them escaped from the Cloud Palace
When Hua Qiangu came back, as expected, she didn’t have the intention to pursue the matter. In fact, it had nothing to do with her anyway. She just acquiesced in Zhu Ran’s game. Surprisingly, Zhu Ran also said nothing, just put on a fake smile on his face. People were let go, he can capture them back, to him it is just a piece of cake. Instead, he’s more interested in the progress between Bai Zihua and Hua Qiangu.
“Are you angry?” Hua Qiangu is very earnestly embroidering a quilt cover. She is not proficient in embroidery, but this year she often threading the needles. Because there is really nothing to do, it also helps to calm her heart down and also to kill time.
“No, didn’t we know his purpose and just leave him to himself. Not to mention, your subordinates’s hobby compared with Bai Zihua’s desire wish, naturally it is not worth mentioning.
She looked up at him but did not say anything.
“But one day he will ruin you and me. Aren’t you afraid that I will harm him in secret?” Zhu Ran had fantasies, if Bai Zihua is really dead…..
“You’re not dare to kill him. If you kill him, I’ll kill you.”
“Haha, you are wrong. I won’t kill him not because I dare not, but because he is dead, it’s not fun anymore.”
In a sese, she and Zhu Ran are the same. Living with dispirited, but she doesn’t know what herself wants or what she should do, and Zhu Ram knows.
Bai Zihua has been counted, the day Mo Yan set to launch counterattack is getting closer, their preparations over there should have been almost done. He’s got a foot in, not just because his heart feeling guilty, wanted to help out whatever he could. But what he really wants to find out is Ni Mantian’s whereabouts. That is the root cause of his sin, Xiao Gu’s sin, he wants to end it all.
But when he really found her, the scene was millions of times more cruel and tragic than he had imagined. It was like cold water heavily poured on him. Perhaps Xiao Gu’s crime can only be repaid by death.
He couldn’t save her or get closer to her. He could only hear her crying and pleading, asking him to kill her over and over again.
When he goes back in the evening, he was stiff all over, and his steps were slightly staggered.
When Hua Qiangu enter the room, there was no light inside the room. Bai Zihua was sitting alone in the dark. She went forward and pretended that she didn’t know anything. As usual, took off his outer white robe, pushed him gently against the wall, and sucking his blood in a big mouthful.
At last she looked straight into his eyes. The smile on her lips are ruthless and full of self-mockery: “Don’t want to say something to me?”
Bai Zihua’s hands slowly clenched into fists, but it finally loosened up. He sighed and said: “Kill her.”
“If I kill her, I will not be able to live.” Hua Qiangu knows she said this, he will not understand.
“You weren’t that cruel before.” Bai Zihua shook his head.
“Actually, I have always been cruel.” Except for you.
“You are being like this, what will you get in the end?”
“Except for Tang Bao, I don’t want anything else.” Including you, I can’t afford to have you anymore.
“Wake up, Tang Bao is dead. She also doesn’t want to see you being like this.”
“Don’t say it anymore!” Hua Qiangu was tremble, biting down her lower lip, and the flower fragrance in the air swayed.
She tightly pressed on Bai Zihua’s body, and looking up at him. Her voice suddenly turned very alluring, almost melting into the bones: “Don’t you want to restore your immortal body? It only needs a drop of my blood …”
Bai Zihua lowered his head to look at her charming face. His blood still remained on her red lips, and coated with another layer of her blood. Gently moving her lips, such a breathtaking scene as if inviting him to taste it.
Such a close distance, almost every moment will make their lips come into contact in an instant. Hua Qiangu’s breath appressed on him making him hardly breath. His brain burst with dizziness and God almost overwhelmed the ghost. He didn’t know if it was because of the lure of her lips or the temptation of her blood, but at the end he still sharply turned his head away at the critical moment.
Seeing the flash of disgust in Bai Zihua’s eyes, Hua Qiangu smile powerlessly. She lightly licked the corner of her lips, taking two steps back and lied down on the bed first. It took Bai Zihua for a long time before he lays down to sleep next to her without a quilt covered his back was facing her.
She didn’t know when he fell asleep. Standing on the endless ice field, a vast expanse of whiteness, nothing but coldness. Suddenly awakened by a bust of hidden murderous intent. She did not open her eyes, knowing that in the darkness, Bai Zihua was watching her with cold eyes. Such a strong killing intent, which is stronger than the effect of a thousand troops and horses. Although it’s been concealed it very well for a long time, it never completely disappeared from him. She knows if he has a knife in his hand, even he could not kill her, she’s sure he will definitely give it a try. He has been lying by her side every day and night, maybe there’s nothing more than thinking about how to kill her …for a long time, the murderous aura in Bai Zihua finally dissipated. She could feel the ups and downs in his heart but she has never taken a deep look into his mind. Whatever he thought, it doesn’t matter how he wants to kill her, it’s not important. She just wants to remember his warmth, and wants him to be around. But seemingly this calmness is finally broken
When Bai Zihua woke up again, Hua Qiangu was no longer there. As usual, the table was full of food ready to eat. He only took a sip of the black tea in the pot and found it wrong. Surprisingly, he was drugged. it ‘s very strong, like the crudest and most inferior fireworks that used in the city.
For a while he was a little confused. He thought of every possible thing, but he never thought about Hua Qiangu would drugged him. The relationship between the two, which was as fragile as a thin-paper finally ripped open.
There was a blank space in Bai Zihua’s mind, he was so angry that didn’t what to say. It’s already bad enough that she become ruthless, and has no choice but to use unscrupulous divisive tactics, but is it has to be this despicable? Even if there is no way she can get him, does she really has to go as far as to give him such humiliation?
Feeling that his body temperature that has never risen before gradually warmed up, a heat wave upon heat wave. For the first time in my life that he felt so helpless. Being as an immortal, he simply did not know what is called desire. But as of today he lost his immortality, just a small lustful spring poison can push him to such an embarrassing situation.
Unbelievably, he felt the reaction and desire inside his body. It was so hot and humid, very difficult to endure and his entire body is trembling. In a fit of anger, he slammed the table, finally he realized what is call a great insult!
The immortal maidservant who heard the movement inside, found that something is wrong inside the room. They tried to get in, but they were stopped by his loud roar. They have never seen the High Immortal forgot his manners like this before, their faces turned pale from frightening, and quickly go out to find Hua Qiangu.
Hua Qiangu frowned but did not say anything. She used perception magic to see the situation inside the room. When she saw Bai Zihua’s expression, she has already understood what is going on.
She summoned Zhu Ran and shouted loudly: “You don’t go too far!”
Inserted both of his hands in his sleeves, Zhu Ran bowed in respect and said: “Seeing that Honorable God was slow in actions, without any progressing. On the contrary, you were restricted by Bai Zihua. Your subordinate is worried, so made a bold decision to help fan the fire.” Of course, he would not kill Bai Zihua, he only wanted to watch the show.
Hua Qiangu sneered. His words sound so nice, but it was so obvious that he wants to push their relationship to the brink of fire and water, broken down irretrievably. But let it be, in anycase, the relationship between them has gone beyond recall. Just let him hates her a little bit more wouldn’t make any difference.
“I will not kill you, but I have other methods. Do you think I really don’t know anything about Mo Yan?”
Zhu Ran’s face changed: “If I want to kill Mo Yan, I can do it completely, but Honorable God, are you willing to let Bai Zihua suffered any harm?”
Hua Qiangu shakes her head. Not knowing whether she is acknowledging it, or disagreed with Zhu Ran. she wearily got up and went to the Wu Wang Hall. What was waiting to greet her must be Bai Zihua’s furious storm.
