Chapter Eighty-two Snow Seven

  The Demon King, Chu Xi, had just entered the mansion when he saw Xue Shen leaning against the railing, staring blankly at the sky. As time passed, the originally lively, lovely and mischievous little girl would occasionally reveal a profound expression, causing Chu Xi's heart to stir with waves of emotion. Was she thinking of leaving this place and returning to the Upper Realm?

  "What are you thinking?" Chu Xiu wrapped the Snow Goddess in his arms, whispering intimately in her ear. A year's time had finally allowed him to possess this lovely woman completely - her heart and body now belonged to him. However, the complex emotions occasionally revealed by the Snow Goddess made Chu Xiu gradually begin to doubt everything he had obtained. Only when he was truly holding his beloved in his arms could he feel at ease.

  "It's been a year already." The Snow Goddess sighed, leaving the Upper Realm for a year. What would the gods of the Upper Realm do to her? The taboo of love between gods and demons made the Snow Goddess think about it as soon as she had some free time. Although she didn't know what kind of punishment this taboo would bring upon herself, but if he was implicated, what should she do?

  "What's wrong? Staring blankly for no reason?"

  "Lately, I've been feeling a sense of unease in my heart, and I'm afraid something bad is going to happen. Is what I've been worrying about day and night really going to come true?"

  "It's been a year since you left the Upper Realm and no one from the Divine Clan has come looking for you, they've already accepted what you're doing in the Lower Realm. Besides, of the four seasons, you're only responsible for snowfall, it's all the same wherever you are. The Divine Clan also has some living among mortals, you're thinking too much." Chu Xiao comforted the Snow God.

  "It is." With that, the Snow Goddess regained her usual demeanor and flashed a playful smile at Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu's worried heart immediately relaxed, but then he thought to himself, such a lovely person, if one day she were to leave him... No. He had to think of a way to keep her by his side.

  "You say, if she had a child with me, wouldn't she not leave then?" After thinking for a long time, Chu Xiao finally came up with a foolproof method.

  The old man of the demon clan was startled by Chu Xi's idea, "Your Majesty, you have kept the Snow God in the lower realm for a long time and have already made an enemy of the divine tribe. If you let the Snow God have children again, this is probably not appropriate."

  "What's wrong? Am I supposed to be afraid of the Divine Clan just because I'm a Demon Clan?"

  Being said that, the elder of the demon clan also knew that persuasion was futile and could only speak frankly. "If Snow Goddess were to have your child, she would surely be willing to stay in our clan. However, as the supreme goddess of the Upper Realm, whether she can give birth is still unknown."

  "Gods and demons share the same origin. If the Supreme God cannot give birth, how can there be millions of gods and demons? There must be a way to make the Supreme God give birth. Quickly dispatch people to gather from all directions."

  "Yes." The old man took his leave, but muttered to himself, "Can the method of conceiving the Supreme God really exist in the lower realm?"

  "Wang, this is the formula that can make the gods of the divine tribe pregnant." The old man of the demon tribe handed over the secret formula he had found after a lot of twists and turns to Chu Xu, his hands trembling with excitement. He couldn't express the thrill in his heart, never expecting that such a formula really existed in this world.

  Chu Xi excitedly held the prescription in his hand and examined it carefully. Although all the medicinal materials listed were rare, they could still be found. But would taking such a prescription have no effect on Xue Shen's body? Chu Xi fell silent and re-examined the medicinal materials listed on the prescription again. All of them were harmless to the body, but could he still guarantee absolute safety? "Send someone to secretly find the medicinal materials listed in the prescription, don't let the princess know."

  "Yes."

  "Don't let me know? Why?" The Snow God inadvertently passed by Chu Xi's study, listening carefully to the conversation between the two. Chu Xi, who was pregnant with Fang Zi, did he want a child? The Snow God recalled that none of the gods in the upper realm had children.

  The Snow Goddess suddenly blushed, she knew something about the child's affairs, carrying the blood of two people, a symbol of intimacy between husband and wife. In fact, having a child is not bad, like Chu Xiao or herself, or more like someone else.

  As soon as the idea of having a child had taken root in her mind, Xue Shen had been quietly paying attention to Chu Xi's every move, until the moment when Chu Xi finally succeeded in refining the Dan medicine according to the prescription. At that instant, Xue Shen felt both shy and excited - she could finally have a child! If one day she were to leave, then no matter who the child was with, they would be able to serve as a connection, just like seeing each other again.

  "Do you want a child?"

  Just as the Snow Goddess was pondering over the elixir she had secretly taken out, a familiar voice suddenly appeared in the room. The voice made the Snow Goddess both happy and fearful, and she cautiously stood up, staring blankly at the woman sitting steadily across from her, bowing her head in shame and saying, "Water Goddess, how did you come?"

  "Where there is water, there will be my shadow, you know that." The Water God smiled at the Snow God, without a hint of blame.

  In front of the Water God, the Snow Goddess was like a misbehaving child, carefully saying, "You're not blaming me?"

  "Why blame you? The lower realm is more fun than the upper realm, I like it too." The Water God replied seriously, putting the elixir in her hand and observing it for a while, "Do you really want a child?"

  "Yes." The Snow God replied firmly, biting his lip.

  "This prescription is still somewhat inadequate, and taking it won't be effective."

  The Water God said so, and the Snow Goddess's long-awaited heart fell instantly, leaving her with nowhere to go. In the end, can't she still have a child?

  Upon seeing the Snow God's adorable appearance, he suddenly weakened and said, "You wanting a child isn't impossible, however, there must be gains and losses. Can you bear it?"

  "Alright!" The Snow Goddess said resolutely, a maternal glow subtly appearing on her face.

  The Water God smiled and shook his head, "Can you really bear it? If you can bear it, why don't the gods in the upper realm have children? Have you thought about it carefully?"

  The Snow Goddess fell silent, she had actually thought about this problem, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't understand it, so she simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, now she just wants a child of her own and Chuxu's, just wants a child, this simple idea has been lingering in her mind. "I want a child," the Snow Goddess said firmly again.

  "Alright, you've made your choice, now bear the consequences." The Water God placed another blue-glowing pill on the table, "Take this pill and you'll get what you want." As soon as he finished speaking, the Water God's figure vanished in an instant, as if he had never appeared at all.

  "Thank you, sir." The Snow God supported her own belly and swallowed the medicine in one gulp. It was fine; she could endure anything.

  "Your Majesty, something's wrong!" The servant rushed into Zhu Xi's study in a flurry, "The queen... the queen..."

  "What's wrong with her!" Chu Xiu didn't wait for the newcomer to explain and instantly rushed into the Snow Goddess' room. She saw the Snow Goddess lying calmly on the bed, looking as if she was asleep. However, there was no breath or spiritual energy left in her body... she was dead...

  "How is this possible? How could it be like this!" Chu Xi couldn't believe that the Snow God had passed away so suddenly. The gods were supposed to be indestructible, how could one of them die?! "Someone come! How could the queen be like this? How could it be like this?"

  "The king, the queen might have taken it." The servant trembled and presented the box that had once held the elixir, now empty, with no sign of the medicine.

  "Bastard! How could she eat it?! I never intended for her to eat it!" Chu Xiao slammed the box into pieces, repeatedly thinking of ways to save Xue Shen. The Divine Clan, she was from the Divine Clan, the Divine Clan must have a way to save her!

  "King, where are you going!"

  "Come! Come! The lives of the people are with the king, absolutely cannot let the king have an accident! You, take care of the queen!"

  The old demon gazed up at the sky, vaguely feeling that the tranquility between the gods and demons for millions of years was about to be shattered.
