Chapter 1177: Turtle, Dragon, Fruit, Bird

The turtle and the others waited at the base of the peak, trying to understand a tablet with runes carved by a saint.

Initially, others were around to learn from the tablet. However, the dragon scared them away so only the group was left.

Only the fruit politely sat in front of the tablet and meditated. The other two couldn’t sit still for long.

The dragon got up and started giving the turtle a back ma.s.sage: “Boss, in my opinion, you are powerful with so many amazing techniques. Your knowledge is second to none among the humans as well. Why do you keep on following Boss Feng? His talent might be exceptional but he’s still a junior with no experience and backing.”

“What do you know? If Feng Feiyun’s backers show up, you’ll fall to the ground in horror.” The turtle said.

“Are his parents big shots? I guess that makes sense since his father slept with Lotus Saint before, must be someone important.”

“Just don’t judge him like you do with the other sects. We just need to follow him and we’ll get plenty of good stuff, perhaps some grand fortunes.”

“He seems to be interested in the young saintess from Aquamoon, should we help him?” The dragon nodded.

“Hmm, I do like it. If they have a few divine fetuses, that would be perfect. We’ll have powerful kids with us then and will fear no one.” The turtle smirked.

“Grandpa, the saintess has a big background too, she’s from the Di Clan.” The fruit joined in.

“How do you know?” The turtle and dragon asked in unison.

“I heard them talk last night.” The fruit repeated everything it heard last night.

The turtle clapped excitedly and said: “The Di used to be the strongest clan of the humans but Emperor Xuanyuan offended too many people, hence the calamity afterward. Looks like they have no choice but to hide in Crimson right now.”

“How do you know they’re in Crimson, Boss?” The dragon asked.

“The saintess and the seventh princess of Crimson are good friends, clearly having met each other since youth. She has no other friends to speak of.” The turtle said.

“That’s true.” The dragon said.

“She cried despite having so much pride and potential. The clan is her weakness, perhaps we should take advantage of this.” The turtle mused.

“Do you mean we should spread the news of them hiding in Crimson so that the demons will come to cause trouble, then we can get Boss Feng to play the role of a hero? He’ll win her heart over afterward.”

“Idiot! If the demons come, the saintess will invite the deity to help. If they ever find out that we were behind this, we’ll be screwed.” The turtle said.

“Then what is your plan?”

“The Di might have fallen now but its name and prestige remained among the humans. Even the villainous cultivators have nothing but respect for what Emperor Xuanyuan had done. However, the seniors of the Di certainly want more than this, their ambition is clearly shown when they took Xuanyuan Yiyi to Aquamoon, they don’t want to keep hiding forever. They want to rise again and restore their ancestral name.”

“So you want to help them, Boss?”

“No, not me. Feng Feiyun.” The turtle smirked: “Xuanyuan Master crafted a blade with the same name and used it to kill eight saints. The sacred ancestors of the demons back then feared it.”

“However, it went missing after his death. It could have been very useful for the clan to ward the demon horde, what a shame. What do you think will happen if Feng Feiyun finds the sword again?”

“He can get whatever he wants then from them, just has to say the words” The dragon laughed.

“Your intelligence worries me, Feiyun can’t be the one to say it. We’ll be talking to those old men and the saintess alone after we find the sword. We’ll say something along the lines of Feiyun wanting to get married and will be using the sword as a wedding gift... get it?”

“Yes, yes, she’ll be running to Feiyun and shout, marry me, marry me! Wait, there’s a problem, we don’t know where the sword is, so this is all bulls.h.i.+t.” The dragon said.

“Others don’t, I do.” The turtle revealed a mysterious smile: “But this has to wait until the end of the conference, we’ll tell Feiyun then. Right now, he doesn’t have the energy to deal with the saintess, Miss Dongfang will take all of his time right now since she’s his so-called fate...”

“I heard your plan! I heard your plan! I will go tell Jingyue that Feiyun wants to marry the saintess and use Xuanyuan Blade as a gift...” A parrot engulfed in flames flew away while shouting.

Yun Ge was initially sleeping in a shrine nearby but woke up after a while and heard their conversation.

The turtle became alarmed. It had fought the bird before and knew that this guy was up to no good.

“Capture it!” It shouted.

The dragon flew upward and raised its claws.

“Can’t catch me! Can’t catch me!” The parrot was as fast as a meteor, darting through a gap in the claws: “I will tell Jingyue that Feiyun already has a lover, he’s a two-timer, and all of you are bad people!”

Suddenly, a fruit fell from above and struck its head. The parrot’s sight went black as it fell to the ground.

“Wh-who ambushed me...” It stammered.

“Good job, Laos.h.i.+. Tie this bad bird up.” The turtle said.

The dragon came over and placed one foot on Yun Ge’s head, asking with a ferocious glare: “Should we silence it forever?”

“Idiot! It’s Miss Dongfang’s pet, she’ll kill us.” The turtle kicked the dragon and sent it flying.

“No need to be so mean to this bird.” The fruit took out a dragon tendon and tied the bird’s claws and wings: “Grandpa, we can’t stay here for long, Miss Dongfang might suspect us given your history with the bird.”

“Right, we have to leave now, but let me leave a message.” The turtle agreed.

The group then left with the bird, leaving a crooked message behind - The dragon has diarrhea again, we’ll head back first, don’t worry about us.

***

Dongfang Jingyue didn’t answer Feiyun’s question. Only the sound of the winds could be heard.

Feiyun patiently waited for her answer.

“Do you remember the painting in the Yin Gou’s ancestral home?” Jingyue asked.

“Yes, Two-people Village and the temple by Jin River are both in that painting...” He answered.

“That was a segment of my dream, sometimes I consider myself to be Shui Yueting, that Dongfang Jingyue is just a rebirth.”

Feiyun shared a similar experience. The dreams and memories were so vivid that they could only consider them as their past life.

“Why did you kill me? No, why did Shui Yueting kill Feng Feiyun?” Feng Feiyun became emotional. [1]

Dongfang Jingyue bit her lower lip. Although it was a dream, she felt that it was a part of her life. She said: “I cannot tell you, just know that in the dreams, Shui Yueting truly loved him. She used the strongest sword technique to pierce his heart, the price of this technique was the death of her own heart. After becoming the unbeatable deity, she died from sadness as well. She had her reason for doing so but the time she spent with him in the northern sea was her happiest.”

They shared the same dreams, albeit from two different perspectives. They came across each other by chance and cultivated together. Love sprouted from this but in the end, it ended with one dying from a sword thrust while the other died from sadness.
