Chapter 47

Getting farther and farther away from Lu Hua Mountain, I finally stopped . I turned around and glared at the deer-horse demon: “Stop! I let you go once and you still dare to come looking for trouble a second time? Do you really want to die?”

The deer-horse demon ignored me . He stomped his hooves and rushed to me while screaming . He came so fast, I barely dodged him . While he was passing, I reached out my hand and grabbed the horns on his head . My feet lifted, my body moved and I sat on his back . I rode on his back, making him extremely dissatisfied . He stomped his hooves in a fury and tried every way to toss me off .

My legs clamped his body tightly . My hands hold his horns tightly . While using force, did I feel that the thing on his head was actually made of meat . While squeezing it, it felt soft……

Could it be that just now he wanted to corner me to death with these two meats? I laughed on his back: “Hey, you stupid . Now I don’t even have the heart to beat you anymore . ”

Words could be said like that, but what needed to be beaten still had to be beaten .

I only used a hand to firmly pinch his flesh . With a little spell I connected his horns with me . With the other empty hand, I took out a fan . This fan was a thing of humans, but it was very useful in many ways . I hold the fan and slapped the deer-horse demon’s ass .

“A thing with no eyes! Dare to come look for trouble! The previous time I didn’t beat you and it didn’t leave a memory . This time I’ll see if you don’t remember . Do you still dare to come cause trouble?!”

While I was slapping him, I was also teaching him a lesson .

The deer-horse demon felt pain and screamed more severely . His body was also desperately moving to throw me down . I held onto his horn tightly . The more he struggled the tighter I clenched his horn . Finally……because of carelessness, I only heard a “pu” sound . The horn that I was grabbing had been pulled out by me . Blood flew out from that hole and splashed all over my face .

Pu……pulled out?

I squeezed the horn and was stunned . The deer-horse demon also didn’t make any movements . He looked at me . I sat on his back for a while . Then I threw the fan and hurriedly stuffed the horn back in the hole .

“Sorry, sorry . I really didn’t have the intention to pull your horn . This was an accident……who told you to keep struggling?”

The blood from his head kept flowing out, making my hand full of blood .

Finally, the deer-horse couldn’t bear the humiliation anymore . He stuck his forepaws upright in the sky . I wasn’t paying attention and slid straightly down from his body . The deer-horse demon turned and bit my arm . His teeth were dull and didn’t bite through the flesh . He shook his head and wanted to tear my arm off .

My heart tightened . I grabbed the horn and knocked on the angle of the hole . The deer horse demon gave two more strokes, couldn’t bear the torture anymore and let go of my arm . He hissed in the sky and went away with an embarrassing defeat . While he went away he sprinkled the ground full of blood rain .

I waved to the oncoming cloud to stand still . I rested for a moment and looked at the meat horn in my hand . In my heart, I was thinking that I could take it back and soak it wine . I might be able to get a different taste . I hid it in my arm . Then I rolled my sleeves and looked at my injury . I felt it wasn’t a big deal and leisurely went back home .

The closer I was from home, the more my heart felt that it wasn’t right . Although Chu Kong didn’t like to practice cultivation, but he had been forced by me and practiced for a few years . His body had a small amount of immortal energy . Today we run into a stupid demon that came to search for revenge . If he was a bit smarter, he should’ve swallowed Chu Kong first and then come fight me . I could protect him once, but I couldn’t always protect him . If he didn’t even have some self-defense skills, it was given that in the future he would be bullied .

Besides……if he didn’t cultivate into an immortal body, how could I stay with him? Chu Kong being a human, when he goes to the netherworld to reincarnate, he would surely drink the soup of oblivion . At that time, every memory about me would be washed together with his soul . Just thinking about it, I’ll feel afraid .

Back at home, Chu Kong was still being locked in the enchantment . Seeing that I was back, he immediately stood up . I waved my hand and the enchantment disappeared . Meatball Kong didn’t run in my arms as I imagined . He just stood there blankly and looked at me with big eyes . His expression was startled .

I was at loss for a moment . I looked down at my clothes and instantly understood why Chu Kong was startled . The blood of the deer-horse demon dyed my white cotton clothes in red . My face and head must also be full of blood .

I sighed and was about to open my mouth to say that Chu Kong should not be worried . Suddenly I saw a golden light across my mind . My heart tightened . Well… . . although deceiving children was bad, but it was all for his good .

I covered the arm that was bitten by the deer-horse demon . I groaned . My legs went soft and my whole body fell onto the ground . I closed my eyes and moaned in pain .

It was quiet for a while . I heard Chu Kong’s footsteps rush to me in panic .

“Xiao……Xiao Xiang?”

I struggled to open my eyes, breathed for a moment and then called out: “A! I! The wound really hurts!”

If this was the Chu Kong from the past, he would slap me twice and let me get up myself . But meatball Kong was different . My whole body covered in blood was enough to scare him to death .

He held out his hand . They trembled and wanted to touch me, but didn’t dare to touch . With a pale face and a voice full of panic, he asked: “Where does it hurt? Xiao Xiang, where does it hurt?”

My heart went soft and I felt that this was a little shameful . But since the play had already begun, I needed to do it well .

I coughed twice and made my voice hoarse: “I didn’t think that the demon was so powerful . I’ve underestimated him . ”

I pulled up my sleeves and showed him the bite wound .

The deer horse demon didn’t transform into a full demon yet . The demon’s aura on his body was muddy and turbid . The aura remaining on my wound was also the same . A dark mist wrapped around my arm . It looked scary, but if you looked at it with a clear mind, you’ll be able to clean it .

Meatball Kong saw my wound and his face turned paler . I grabbed his hand and said: “Chu Kong, Xiao Xiang is useless . In the past I didn’t practice cultivation properly . This time……I’m afraid that I need to give my life… . . ”

“It won’t . ”

Chu Kong shook his head .

“Xiao Xiang is very powerful……will not……”

His tears fell down . He stared at me unblinking as if, if he blinked I would be gone .

“Even if I’m gone, you need to live on happily . Chu Kong, goodbye . ”

I closed my eyes . Hey……this seemed to be a little overboard .

Chu Kong’s voice was really small: “Xiao……Xiao Xiang?”

I took a deep breath and opened my eyes . I grabbed Chu Kong’s hand and said weakly: “There’s still a way to save me, but… . . forget it, forget it . ”

I was waiting for Chu Kong to give me a determination . But it was silent for a long while and he didn’t say anything . I curiously looked at him . I saw that his eyes are surprisingly bright and staring at me . My heart felt a little afraid . Could it be that this child saw that I was lying to him?

But after a while, meatball Kong came over and hugged my neck . He patted my back . With an adult tone he comforted me: “Xiao Xiang, don’t be afraid . Chu Kong will always stay with you . Don’t be afraid . ” (Awww, this cute pie)

But obviously, he was so afraid that he was trembling .

I sighed and didn’t bother to pretend to be weak anymore . I said: “Xiao Xiang won’t die so easily . If every month someone uses immortal energy to drive away the demon’s aura on my arm, Xiao Xiang won’t die . ”

Chu Kong let go of me: “Every month drive the demon’s aura away? Can, can Chu Kong do it now?”

“Can . ”

With my other hand, I touched his head .

“It’s just that now you won’t drive it away cleanly . ”

“I’ll practice cultivation really hard,” he swore loudly after getting my answer . “In the future, I’ll surely practice cultivation!”

At this point his eyes were finally  red . Big tears fell down .

“In the future, Chu Kong won’t be lazy anymore . I want to practice cultivation really hard to protect Xiao Xiang . Never again……never again letting Xiao Xiang getting hurt! Wu wa!”

This strange kid, he actually cried after knowing that I could be saved .

I didn’t know what meatball Kong was thinking at that moment when he saw me close my eyes . But after that time, he really practiced cultivation very hard . He was never lazy again . I thus realized one truth: Children and man……needed to be taught .

Time passed really fast in the human realm . In a blink of an eye, Chu Kong was eighteen years old .

Chu Kong with three immortal souls and seven mortal souls after years of practice is no different from an ordinary human . He practiced cultivation faster and faster . After day in and day out learning about cultivation, he became increasingly interested in cultivating . He wanted to learn more and more .

Gradually, I had nothing more to teach him .

Chu Kong would often travel outside . But regardless where he went, every month on the fifteen, he would surely return to Lu Hua mountain to disperse the “demon’s aura” on my arm . This was an agreement he set since he was a child .

Although he and I both knew that there simply wasn’t any demon’s aura .

Seeing Chu Kong grew up, I’m naturally happy . My only worry is that he still hadn’t cultivated into an immortal .

In the summer this year, the tiger demon Da Hua took a fancy on a scholar in town . She took him back to be her husband . The wedding day was set in the night if mid- autumn . I as a fairy of course didn’t allow such thing as forcing someone to be your husband . But when I went to Da Hua’s territory a few times to take a look, I saw that scholar was half-hearted to leave, I let them continue their bad fate .

Chu Kong as someone who was cultivating into an immortal, naturally, wouldn’t tolerate something like forcing someone to be your husband . But I didn’t know what kind of ideological pollution he received all this years down the mountain . He insisted on taking the scholar back to town . In the end, he had fallen out with his childhood playmate Da Hua a few times .

Mid-autumn festival eve . Chu Kong went to “save” that scholar once again . I followed him and brought him back . I taught him a lesson: “That scholar also likes Da Hua . Why do keep messing them up?”

I glanced at him: “Can it be that you also fancy that scholar?”

Chu Kong pouted: “Xiao Xiang, what are you thinking? Humans and demons go different paths . How can they be together?”

I wondered: “Why can’t they be together? When Yue Lao pulls a string, no matter what kinds of thing, they still can be together . ”

Chu Kong hesitated and sighed: “Are all the immortals in heaven strange like Xiao Xiang? Head full of messy things . ”

I turned and walked away . I didn’t even bother to turn his head back .

“The one who is strange now is you . The one whose head is full of messy things is also you . Can outsiders control such a thing as fate? Stop for me for a while . ”

Chu Kong behind me was silent for a while: “Then… . . Xiao Xiang’s fate, can I control (care about) it?”

My footsteps paused . I turned and looked at him . I saw that in his dark eyes, there was a star gleaming brightly and moving . My heart skipped a beat . My cheeks turned slightly hot .

“What?”

Chu Kong suddenly turned around and quickly shook his head: “Nothing, nothing . Today I should drive the demon’s aura for Xiao Xiang . Let’s go back quickly . ”

This midnight, because of Chu Kong’s unknown words, I couldn’t sleep . I stumbled and crawled out of bed to urinate . I just sat when I felt two night winds came in the house . I raised my head and looked up . Chu Kong climbed on the window and quietly looked at me with a serious face .

I scratched my head and blurted out: “Did you wet your bed again?”

Chu Kong continued to stare at me . I recovered my mind . The Chu Kong now wasn’t the child Chu Kong whose mind was crippled anymore .

He was silent for half an incense stick and suddenly said: “I dreamed of Xiao Xiang closing your eyes……in the snow . ”

He looked down at his hands .

“It felt real and didn’t seem like a dream . I was scared and couldn’t sleep anymore . So I came to see you . ”

I understood the meaning of his words . I was instantly more awake: “You……”

“Regardless how much cultivation I’ve learned, I’m still like when I was a child . Still relying on Xiao Xiang . Really useless…… . ”

And I no longer focused on these things . With some urgency I interrupted him: “What did you dream of? When did you dream it? Is there still other things?”

Chu Kong raised his head and looked at me for a while . In his eyes he hid something I didn’t understand . He shook his head: “No, I just dreamed of this . ”

He was slowly beginning to remember!

I was extremely pleased . If I found the last mortal soul, if he could cultivate into an immortal, maybe Chu Kong could find all the memories back!

I said: “Chu Kong, in the future if you have some other business, you don’t need to come back on the fifteenth . ”

I sternly said: “You should now concentrate on the critical moment of cultivation . To see if you can cultivate into an immortal is dependent on the foundation that you laid all these years . If you have a chance outside, don’t give it up for me . You should have known a long time ago that there’s nothing here . ”

Chu Kong stiffened . He froze for a long time before he weakly responded with an “mm” sound .

Comment:
I think Chu Kong is unhappy, because he knows that Xiao Xiang approached him not because of him but because of some other reasons . Maybe he also knows that the one Xiao Xiang likes isn’t him, but that other him . Is he jealous of himself? I like both Chu Kongs . Hope none will disappear when the other appear . ‘
