Chapter 9: The Birth of Sugar Treasure
It was you who hatched it, and besides, it is indeed your flesh and blood
Hua Qian Gu and Tang Bao frolicked all night. The next day, Dongfang Yuqing bought two swift horses at the market. He murmured something in the horses' ears, and the once wild and restless horses immediately became very docile.
You seem to understand everything!" Hua Qian Gu looked at him with admiration
Dad? The insect innocently looked up at it
Tang Bao laughed softly, her voice reminiscent of a child's, with a faint ethereal echo.
Father, Father! Tang Bao looked at Dongfang Yuqing and smiled
Ah? Insect? Is it like placing a curse?
Sugar Baby, you need to take good care of Mommy for Daddy!
The little bug stretched lazily, yawned, and looked extremely adorable. It pouted its lips and then climbed up by hugging Hua Qian Gu's nose.
Ah? What is it? There is a sickle." Hua Qian Gu took the sickle from her waist.
Dongfang Yuqing reached out to stroke Hua Qiangu's head, his expression so gentle and his smile so elegant that it left Hua Qiangu in a daze
"Why am I not its father? Once I finish my important matters, I will naturally come to find you and take you as my wife. I will be responsible for you to the end"
I, I have become someone’s mother... Hua Qian Gu approached in silence, widening her eyes to look at the small insect on the stone, her nose almost touching its body
Dongfang Yuqing smiled, fearing that the rust above would cause her wound to become infected, so she held her finger and bit down hard on it.
I will teach you tomorrow
Tianshui hetushu .com .com, what is it? Is it heating up?" Dongfang Yuqing held it in his hand, glancing at it while raising the corners of his mouth, it's almost done.
Ah! It has come out! My goodness!" Hua Qian Gu looked at the little worm in disbelief, so excited that she was dancing with joy. This is her little worm! She finally has her own pet!
Ah! Hua Qian Gu let out a mournful cry, taking two steps back and collapsing to the ground. Is this for real? It can actually speak!
Indeed, if things go quickly, it may happen next month; if delayed, it could take years, even over a decade. This depends on the strength of the guardians of the divine artifacts. However, one cannot defy destiny... the demon gods will eventually emerge.
It is a fairy, so it can certainly speak
Then, doesn't that mean that there could be war at any time
Sugar Treasure
Sugar Baby! Sugar Baby! Sugar Baby! Hua Qian Gu placed Sugar Baby in the palm of her hand and puckered her lips to give a kiss.
If you find that you have so much blood that you don't know where to spend it, you can feed it a drop every few days, which will greatly help enhance its spiritual power; however, it seems too wasteful to consider. Otherwise, you can feed it ordinary leaves, flower petals, or green grass.
A world without gods
Dongfang Yuqing struggled to suppress his laughter, nearly losing his breath in the process
It may eat, depending on its own taste
Ah? Naming it? I have never named anything before. Uh... it's so small and so cute, let's call it Sugar Baby
It is of no concern; this is merely a common spirit insect, nourished by your blood, absorbing your essence to take shape. It will only heed your commands. It possesses some minor magical abilities, but it is not particularly powerful. You are always alone, so having it as a companion on the road, or keeping it as a pet for amusement, is quite nice. Do you have a knife
Dongfang Yuqing laughed heartily, bending forward and backward, and extended a finger as white as jade to gently touch the little insect's head, truly a perceptive and good child
Ah, ah, ah... Flower Qian Gu dared not move, constantly signaling to Dong Fang Yu Qing with her eyes. It has crawled onto my nose, what should I do, what should I do!
Ah? I cannot ride a horse
Mom, I am hungry
Qian Gu, do you know how terrifying the malice of the human heart can be? The demons born from it are so powerful that even the gods cannot control them. The emergence of the demon god causes such great panic because, even if the human realm and the celestial realm join forces, they cannot possess the immense power of the multitude of gods. Therefore, the appearance of the demon god signifies the arrival of a cataclysmic end. It is unavoidable; we can only delay it day by day, trying our best to postpone it and devise methods to seal or restrain it. The sixteen ancient artifacts are the key to this matter.
How terrifying... Hua Qian Gu took two steps back, realizing that she had been carrying it with her for so long.
In ancient times, the various clans of gods often engaged in conflicts with one another. The remaining gods were already few in number, and ultimately, at the emergence of the demon god, in order to eliminate the demons from all directions and seal the demon god, they were nearly extinguished. The last god used her flesh and blood to mend this world, which had been left in ruins due to the great war, transforming it into a desolate wasteland. Subsequently, she too faded into oblivion.
Did you see that red thing inside
Hua Qian Gu stood there in a daze, what does it mean that there are no gods left in this world, what does his statement imply
Watching the little bug crawl and crawl until it bit into the steamed bun. Phew, how hard it is!
From now on, your name will be Sugar Treasure
The little bug lay on the stone, resting and panting, its plump body soft and squishy, making one want to pinch it. Its entire body was crystal clear and very beautiful. After a while, it laboriously lifted its head, opened its two small eyes, which rolled around, looking at the two people in front of it, and suddenly called out: "Dad, Mom ... ... "
My name is Tang Bao. Dad, Mom
Hua Qian Gu looked helpless, wondering how she ended up going in circles and returning to the same place again
Hehe, if there is anything you do not know, feel free to ask me
So frightening
Cut, this guy is still picky. Hua Qian Gu silently picked a tender blade of grass and handed it to the little bug. The little bug happily embraced it and began to nibble, and before long, the blade of grass was reduced to a serrated shape
This way, the insect can emerge from its cocoon more quickly
But... but why are you calling me Mom! It's not like I gave birth to it, and I'm not an insect either
Yes, understood! Tang Bao is sitting in Hua Qian Gu's ear, holding a strand of Hua Qian Gu's hair to swing on, tearfully bidding farewell to Dongfang Yuqing
"Does the steamed bun eat?" Hua Qiangu cautiously broke off a small piece and placed it in Dongfang Yuqing's palm
Dongfang Yuqing dripped blood onto the water droplets, and the blood quickly seeped in
Nevertheless, one cannot simply accept things as they come. I must hurry back tomorrow and cannot see you off. If you rely solely on walking, you will certainly miss the gathering of the immortals, so it is best to set off immediately
I saw ... ...
By the way, this. "Hua Qian Gu suddenly remembered and took off the Tianshui drop she was wearing. This is something given to me by Yi Jiu Jun, which is said to be able to break curses. Recently, it has been getting warm, and sometimes it even glows at night. What is going on? Brother Lang told me not to wear it, saying it is a bad thing. I don't know either, can you help me take a look..." Brother Lang told me not to wear it, saying it is a bad thing. I don't know either, can you help me take a look..."
Take care, learn your craft well, and when the time comes, I will naturally come to find you and marry you. With that, he hung the already repaired Tianshui Drop around Hua Qian Gu's neck
Dongfang Yuqing laughed heartily as he twisted the worm's neck and brought it down
I am your mother, and he is not your father!" Hua Qian Gu corrected.
Hua Qian Gu stared intently, can this really hatch bugs?
This is a spirit insect that has been implanted in you using the secret technique of the Yiqiu Pavilion
"It hurts..." Hua Qian Gu's face turned red as she tried to retract her hand from his mouth, but he held it tightly.
Hua Qian Gu raised her head to look at him. There were many things she still did not understand, but suddenly, a wave of goosebumps swept over her. Was it really because of a demon god that the entire divine realm was destroyed? ... Now, only five realms remain of the six. They speak of immortals, but in this world, there are no beings born as gods; there are only those who have cultivated themselves into immortals
Hua Qian Gu learned quickly, happily riding in circles on her horse. This would greatly increase her speed and reduce the suffering from bumps.
Wuwuwu, it says it is hungry, what should I do? It can't be asking me to feed it milk, right? Wuwuwu, I don't have any... Huā Qiāngǔ crossed her arms, feeling very embarrassed, extremely embarrassed, like the sweat from the Ailao Mountain waterfall
Will it not accidentally be crushed by me? So small! Hua Qian Gu boldly reached out her finger to touch it, and it affectionately wrapped around her finger and rubbed against it
"Scared your mother, silly child!" Dongfang Yuqing lovingly placed it in the palm of his hand
Seeing the utterly bewildered and helpless expression on Hua Qian Gu's face, Dongfang Yuqing was laughing so hard that his face was almost cramping up
Before long, the surface of the sky, which had already turned bright red, began to crack, resembling a chick breaking out of its shell. A tiny, transparent worm, thinner than a pinky finger, struggled to crawl out from within, still connected by strands of blood, trembling as it struggled and crawled forward.
It is a fairy; how could it possibly die from just a little pressure? Why don't you give it a name?
No, this is different from the Gu worm. Its functions are more varied, and there are many different types. The Yixiu Pavilion sometimes implants it into the human body to gather information or to commit murder
Although she had listened to him ramble many times before, for some reason, this time Hua Qian Gu felt a bit embarrassed. Without agreeing or rebutting, she rode away on her horse like the wind.
"Haha, how adorable." Hua Qian Gu felt a surge of tenderness in her heart, filled with affection. Suddenly recalling the pastries she had just eaten, she took a bit to feed it, and it happily devoured every last morsel.
"Why? Why can the insects still speak?" Hua Qian Gu looked at this bizarre scene, her heart still unsettled.
Yes, it can accompany you from now on
