Chapter Eighteen: The Husband and Wife's Grass

  "Halt! You will die!"

  Zhao Kuang's angry roar exceeded one after another, and I subconsciously ran towards the direction of Mu Rong Xing. However, Huang Shi Bo pulled me back with a smile, saying: Let him go if he wants to.

  Zhao Kuo had already charged to the front of the formation gate, but Zhao Kuo's speed was slowing down. Mu Rong Xing sat steadily in the formation, without any movement.

  Zhao Feiyu looked at the formation and hesitated. He pulled on my clothes and whispered to me: I always feel that you seem to have misunderstood him.

  "Who?"

  "Dad."

  I haven't replied to Zhao Feiyu yet, and I see that Zhao Kuo was suddenly knocked back a few steps by a golden light. Zhao Kuo originally wanted to move forward again, but at this time, Mu Rong Xing spat out a string of strange words.

  That's a ghost script. I furrowed my brow, although I didn't understand the ghost script, but I could still make out some of it.

  People speak human language, ghosts naturally also have their own language.

  I couldn't hear what Mu Rong said clearly, but as for Zhao Kuo's words, I think it would be hard not to hear them even if I didn't want to.

  Zhao Kuo's words roughly meant that he had already let us off once, so why were we coming again. Mu Rong's reply probably made Zhao Kuo furious, otherwise Zhao Kuo wouldn't have said "you want our lives" again.

  Although I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, my headache is getting worse by the minute. It's as if something wants me to know, but it's being hidden underground, not letting anyone discover it.

  Mu Rong walked out of the formation, and he and Zhao Kuo looked at each other, still using the ancient script to communicate.

  "Are you not going to take action?" I looked at Huang Shi Bo and asked with some curiosity.

  "There's no need for me to take action. At this time, you can choose to go in, and maybe, you'll have the answer you're looking for." Huang Shiwo pointed at a cave entrance in front of us and said to me.

  I don't know what Huang Shibo is selling in his gourd, but I inexplicably developed feelings for that cave entrance... it's as if something has been calling me all along.

  "Let the little monk accompany you, when you're emotionally agitated, he might even be able to help you recite scriptures to calm you down." Huang Shi-bo said this very lightly, as if affirming something.

  I glanced at Kong Yi, and he smiled and nodded at me. This was also a kind of tacit understanding. Mu Rong Xing had already begun to fight with Zhao Gou, and compared to me, Mu Rong Xing was even more skilled in magic. All I could see was the talisman paper on his hand flying around non-stop, and I didn't know when he had bitten open his finger, preparing to draw a spell.

  I and Kong Yat took advantage of this gap, walking towards the entrance. The temperature seemed to have reached a new low, I was walking in front, already hearing the sound of Kong Yat's teeth chattering.

  I inexplicably felt excited, as if a beast had smelled blood. I turned around and said to Kong: You just wait here for me, it's probably even colder inside.

  After a moment's thought, I decided to respond. I walked alone towards the inside.

  The temperature gradually dropped, but I became more and more excited. When I saw that the lake in front of me had already frozen into ice, I finally understood why it was so cold here.

  I vaguely saw something in the lake water. As I walked onto the ice, I slowly moved towards that thing. Through the ice surface, I looked down and it was a woman's corpse.

  I was astonished, that woman looked very young, wearing a red wedding dress, and as I looked at her, she seemed to be asleep.

  I continued to approach the corpse, I squatted down and carefully identified the woman when her eyes suddenly opened!

  I didn't make any move, but cold sweat has already emerged from my forehead!

  I pretended to be calm and looked at her, she was also looking at me.

  She slowly opened her mouth, and according to her lip language, I vaguely recognized what she said. When I realized something was wrong, the ice surface around me had already begun to crack! I walked towards the shore like I was escaping for my life, but the speed of the cracking ice exceeded my imagination, and I fell into the lake water!

  After I fell into the lake water, I struggled to float up towards the surface, but the surface was freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye! I'm like being trapped here!

  I held my breath, trying to find a way out. At this moment, I saw the red female corpse again, and I suddenly remembered what she said to me, and I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.

  "You're back."

  These four words were what she said to me...

  I only felt that I was gradually unable to breathe, but the female corpse still stared at me with wide eyes. I held back my last breath in my lungs, but... I couldn't hold on anymore...

  I spat out a big mouthful of bubbles and then inhaled a large amount of water. I choked terribly, and my consciousness began to blur...

  "This year I did harvest a male flower, but this flower is a male flower and cannot have next generation."

  As I gradually became conscious, I heard this person's voice speaking.

  Everything around me is dark, and I don't even know where I am now. I also can't remember who I am, let alone what I am?

  "It seems that this is Zhao Guo's last child." This was a middle-aged woman's voice.

  Husband and child? What is it? Is it me?

  The darkness in front of me was suddenly broken by a burst of light, and I saw that it was a man wearing armor standing in front of me. The man handed me over to the hands of another middle-aged woman.

  The middle-aged woman looked at me and said with a sigh: This peony is well-grown, unfortunately it's a male flower. What can be done about it?

  "No. Moreover, the state of Qin also heard about Huai's news and is preparing to attack Zhao. The next few countries are probably already in Yiren's sights." The middle-aged man said angrily.

  The middle-aged woman sighed and closed the lid again. She said helplessly: Let Kuai'er prepare for what's next, the husband and child cannot be lost. And you must also keep it existing a thousand years later!

  "Yes!"

  I don't know where I was taken either, but I could still hear those people's conversation.

  "Deliver to Ice Lake."

  "I understand."

  I inexplicably lay in a box, I don't know what my fate will be. When I was put into the icy lake by that person called Bao Er, I felt very unfamiliar with the surroundings.

  "This is the last seedling of the husband and wife tree, it must be a gentle and quiet woman who can stabilize it."

  After hearing this sentence, I saw a woman in red also fell into the lake.

  The ice surface froze quickly, and that person also left.

  It's strange that the woman can communicate with me every day. I don't talk to her much, just a few words after being silent for several days.

  Soon, there were many sounds coming from all around. I didn't know what they were doing again, but I could hear someone calling my name.

  "Find the infant! Bring it back to the king!"

  It seems like everyone is coming for me.

  Not long after, I saw Zhao Kuo again. His appearance had not changed much, but his eyes were very hollow. Was he already dead?

  Time is still passing, but I don't know how long it has been. A man took me away from the ice lake.

  I saw the corpse of a young man. He had no heart, and the man sighed and said to the corpse in a light tone: Son... don't blame me... I had no choice either...

  I suddenly woke up! I found myself lying on the icy surface of the ice lake! I am Murin...

  I patted my face, trying to wake myself up a bit. The scene just now was like something out of a dream, yet it seemed as if it had really happened. For a moment, I couldn't quite tell what was real and what wasn't.

  That man's face I remember very clearly, it was Mu Rong Xing's face. Does that mean Mu Rong Xing killed me and then saved me?

  I also understand why the State of Qin killed 400,000 people from Zhao and still didn't have a single seed sprout. This peony is a male flower and cannot spread its seeds.

  I turned around and looked at the female corpse in the lake water. Her eyes were wide open, as if staring at me.

  "You accompanied Fuyin for a thousand years, and now Fuyin and I have become one. Thank you..." I said with all my heart, even though I didn't know if she could hear me or not.

  The corners of the woman's mouth stiffened and slightly raised upwards, then she slowly closed her eyes.

  I stood up and walked slowly towards the outside.

  It was a relief to see that I was safe and sound. When I went out with him, Mu Rong Xing and Zhao Kuo were still fighting, but Mu Rong Xing had the upper hand.

  "General Zhao." I stood at the entrance of the cave, shouting towards Zhao Kuo without any regard.

  After Zhao Kuo and Mu Rong pulled away for a distance, Zhao Kuo turned his attention to me.

  I started using ghost characters and Zhao Kuo to communicate, also telling Mu Rong Xue to temporarily not make any moves.

  "Ying Zheng is already dead, no one will be controlled by the whims of a child. You have been trapped here for thousands of years, it's time to reincarnate." I tried to keep my tone calm, after all, this was also a treasure of the Zhao family!

  "The husband and wife have already become one." Zhao Kuo said lightly.

  I knew what Zhao Gou meant, and could only shrug helplessly, pretending to be relaxed, saying: Qin Zheng has already died, you can rest assured that he's gone.

  "I have let down our ancestors."

  "It's not easy for you to have protected Fubing for so long, but I can give you a guarantee, I won't let Fubing be wasted on me." I said, looking at Zhao Kuo.

  "The baby has already been born on your body, and I can no longer say so. To kill or to cut, it's all up to you." Zhao Kuo put down his sword on the ground, with a gesture of surrender.

  I just walked up to him and whispered in his ear: Husband, how many are left?

  "One for Zhao, one for Chu, and one for Yan." Zhao Kuo actually told me all about it in a very honest way.

  I nodded, which was also a way of thanking him. I looked at Huang Shi Bo and smiled lightly, saying: You've got everything wrong. There's only one seedling. So neither of our deals counts now. Should I kill you or let you go?

  Huang Shi Bo's eyes were filled with a hint of mockery as he relaxed his hands and chuckled, saying to me: "Let's see if you have the skills now."
