Chapter 2531 - 2529: Tangled Fates
The guard general was flattered by his subordinates and ended up entering inside, following behind Little Kirin and the others.
Little Bai laughed at Little Kirin, "Brother, this guy might be trying to pursue you!"
Little Kirin was speechless, not expecting that this Hundred Flowers Palace’s female Fairy was rather popular.
The general quickly approached and waved at them, "Lady Zixuan, if there’s any heavy or rough work, you can leave it to me. Don’t be polite."
Everyone forced a smile, signaling Little Kirin to quickly get rid of this guy.
If they brought him along, how could they steal the peaches?
Little Kirin courteously said to him, "General, it’s better to do your own tasks well, lest the inspectors come and find that you’ve left your post, which wouldn’t be good for you."
The general shook his head proudly, "No worries, no worries. I know today’s inspector, we both came from Qian Yuan Mountain, he won’t give me trouble."
Little Qing purposely teased him, "Qian Yuan Mountain? That’s a big sect, General is in the same sect as General Nezha!"
The general rubbed his head and laughed, "Speaking of which, I’m a fifth-generation disciple of Qian Yuan Mountain. General Nezha is my grand-uncle, two generations older than me. But no worries, Uncle Nezha treats me well, we even drank together a few days ago!"
Little Bai feigned surprise, "Wow, General can actually drink with General Nezha, that’s amazing! Before we didn’t notice, what’s the name of General again?"
The general waved his hand and laughed, "No problem, no problem, I am Huang Fangyong, a descendant of Dongyue Great Emperor Huang Feihu from the Mortal Realm, let’s get to know each other in the future."
"Dongyue Great Emperor?"
Little Kirin raised an eyebrow, naturally having heard some Divine Enthronement matters.
Back then, General Huang Feihu of the Shang Dynasty was a notable figure on the Investiture of the Gods, enshrined as the head of the Five Sacred Mountains.
Unexpectedly, here you can actually meet his descendants.
It seems the Heavenly Court has many people relying on connections.
Without a background and connections, one couldn’t secure such a position at a young age in the Heavenly Court.
Little Kirin originally wanted to be rough, either knock Huang Fangyong out or trap him using a Formation.
But considering this person’s cultivation level and family, he decided to stall this person with a beauty trick, letting Little Bai and the other four go about their business.
She pretended to twist her ankle while crossing a ridge, cried out "Ah!" and fell to the ground.
Huang Fangyong was startled and quickly approached, flustered and asked Little Kirin, "Are you, are you okay?"
Little Kirin suppressed his laughter, signaled to Little Bai and the others, then shook his head to Huang Fangyong, "No problem, it’s just that I’ve been too tired lately and twisted my ankle."
He instructed Little Bai and the others, "If it’s possible, you guys go ahead, I’ll rest here for a while!"
Little Bai and the four almost burst into laughter but held it in, bowing to her, "We’ll listen to sister."
"General Huang, you must take good care of our sister!"
Little Qing teased him deliberately.
Huang Fangyong finally had the chance for a heroic rescue; he wouldn’t miss it, patting his chest, "Don’t worry, go ahead, I’ll take care of your sister here."
Little Bai and the four thanked him and left together.
Huang Fangyong stared at Little Kirin’s foot, swallowed secretly, and said, "Lady Zixuan, let me rub your foot?"
Little Kirin feigned coyly, turning his head aside, full of embarrassment, "How could that be possible, if someone sees us, we can’t explain ourselves."
Huang Fangyong said, "It’s nothing, my brother is guarding the door outside, no one will come."
He was a bit impulsive; before Little Kirin agreed, he grabbed Little Kirin’s foot, squatted down, and placed it in his lap.
Little Kirin was a bit on the verge of tears, keen to knock this guy out.
However, he held back, letting Huang Fangyong rub his ankle for a while.
He deliberately delayed time, teasing Huang Fangyong, "General Huang, do you like me?"
Huang Fangyong’s fingers visibly trembled, blushing and saying, "Yes, yes."
After speaking, he felt a bit embarrassed again, quickly shaking his head, "No, no."
Little Kirin laughed a bit, the body of Fairy Zixuan laughed gracefully.
He drew back his foot and purposely said to Huang Fangyong, "General’s family is extraordinary, in the future, there will surely be great prospects. Zixuan asks General to abandon this thought, lest you irritate the Jade Emperor. General must know that our Heavenly Court doesn’t allow Immortals to have romantic dealings with mortals."
Huang Fangyong stared wide-eyed, "Fairy Zixuan considers for me, I’m extremely delighted. But maybe Fairy Zixuan doesn’t know, the Heavenly Court is seeking reform. Soon enough, Immortals will be able to form matrimonial bonds."
"Is there such a thing?"
Little Kirin bashfully turned his head aside, pretending to be a woman felt truly disgusting, but still had to ramble with Huang Fangyong, "If truly so, I am not unwilling to consider the General."
"Really?"
Huang Fangyong got so excited he jumped up, exclaiming to Little Kirin with deep affection, "Lady Zixuan, you can rest assured. In the future, heaven and earth, even if I, Huang Fangyong, perish, I will protect you entirely. No matter if you become my wife or not, my heart will remain devoted to you forever unchanged."
Little Kirin felt a bit cheesy, affectionately replied to Huang Fangyong, "General is truly a righteous man; among Heavenly Court soldiers, I’ve never met anyone like General."
He took the Golden Hairpin just removed from Zixuan’s hair, took one from his head, and shyly handed it to Huang Fangyong, "General Huang, I don’t have any valuable items, keep this Golden Hairpin. I usually can’t wander around the Heavenly Court, so I hardly get a chance to see you. If you miss me, just look at this Hairpin."
Huang Fangyong took the Golden Hairpin, overly excited, not knowing what to do.
This gift from a woman implies a keepsake engagement gift!
He, tongue-tied, held onto the item, blurting to Little Kirin, "Lady Zixuan, I never thought, truly never thought."
He rummaged through his Storage Ring, finally took out a Token, handing it to Little Kirin, "Lady Zixuan, I have nothing to give you. This is a pass Token my senior gave me, with this, you can easily wander anywhere in the Heavenly Court. If you have free time, you can use this to come here often to see me."
"This?"
Little Kirin didn’t expect such an unexpected gain.
He took the Token, fearing more talk would lead to trouble, so feigned shyness and stopped speaking.
In his heart, he thought, "Fairy Zixuan, don’t blame me, I’ve found you a good marriage."
Huang Fangyong remained silent, standing beside Little Kirin, his gaze intensely warm.
Once Little Bai and the four went inside, they had a feast first, then pulled up a peach tree in each place.
Four of them managed over a hundred peach trees; the commotion drew the land spirits out.
However, with such dense peach trees, the land spirit couldn’t count fast enough.
Little Bai secretly connected with them, leading Little Qing, Little Xuan, and Vermilion Bird to sneak away. Upon returning, he winked at Little Kirin and deliberately asked, "Sister, has your foot healed?"
Little Kirin silently nodded, asked them, "Have all those peach tree diseases been taken care of?"
"Done, no problem anymore."
Little Bai and the others chuckled cheekily.
Little Kirin pretended difficulty, reaching out for Little Bai to help him up, "Then we should return!"
At this moment, from afar, an Elder Land Spirit hurried over, suddenly calling out, "Fairies, wait."
Little Bai and the four’s hearts skipped a beat, glancing at this Elder Land Spirit, fists clenched, instantly thinking to strike against him and Huang Fangyong.
