Gate of God

More importantly, Fang Zhengzhi was well aware of Yun Qingwu’s character.

Negotiation?

That was impossible.

Yun Qingwu never negotiated any conditions, for once she had decided on something, nothing would be able to disrupt her. Her decisive character was a tad terrifying.

So the only way was to use strength.

But Yun Qingwu did not fear death, hence the usual way would no longer work on Yun Qingwu, and thus Fang Zhengzhi felt helpless.

“You……You let go of me!” Yun Qingwu attempted to runaway from him but her arms were locked onto Fang Zhengzhi’s grip, and there was no way to free herself.

And what made her panic even more was that when Fang Zhengzhi had held on her, her body felt entirely motionless, and it seemed as though she was trapped and imprisoned.

Heavenly Dao!

The familiar yet scary term flashed past her mind instantly.

She had been very familiar with Heavenly Dao since young. That was because of her master, Can Yang, who was an expert at controlling the Heavenly Dao. And he had solely used the Heavenly Dao to exist as a half sage.

“Not letting go!” Fang Zhengzhi replied without much thinking.

How could he let go?

If he was to really let go of Yun Qingwu, who knows how long more he would be trapped there. Although his speed had gained an advantage now.

But what if Yun Qingwu really escaped?

Escape from the spell!

Then what’s the fun?

Fang Zhengzhi certainly knew that Yun Qingwu was capable to escape from the spell, hence he did not let go of his grip.

As for the Heavenly Dao…

Truthfully, when the Rebirth Plate was being activated, he knew that the Heavenly Dao was already under his control. Not only that, he was als able to control the Near-Life Dao.

And that explained the “seed”.

It started with a small “seed” growing.

In the past, when Fang Zhengzhi took his first step into the Heavenly Dao, he could understand it, as well as the reason and explanation behind it, but when he had figured out about the way the “seed””grows”.

The experience was definitely different from earlier.

And the same can be applied to the Near-Life Dao.

“Fang Zhengzhi, no matter what you do to me today, I will not let you out of here. You can stop dreaming, as I, Yun Qingwu, will do as I have promised!” Yun Qingwu glared at Fang Zhengzhi, who was approaching her. Her face looked pale, but her expression was still as determined as ever.

“Then don’t blame me.” Fang Zhengzhi pulled her, and Yun Qingwu’s body flew towards him, as a feeling of warmth and smoothness pressed against his chest.

There were heavy breathings at the side of the ears.

It was obvious that Yun Qingwu was looking very nervous. Even though her expression was very calm and stable, but her body was not able to control any longer.

“You dare, if… If you dare to do anything to me, defile me, I……I will kill myself!” Yun Qingwu’s breathing became heavier as she felt Fang Zhengzhi’s breath.

“Kill yourself?” Fang Zhengzhi stopped moving and fixed his eyes on Yun Qingwu’s face. On her face, he could sense her stubborn determination within her.

At that instant, he was suddenly wide awake.

He could definitely use force on Yun Qingwu, as he even had half the confidence that he was able to make her surrender, and release him in the end.

Because Yun Qingwu wasn’t any normal person. She had a huge Demon Race waiting for her leadership, and she had to spare a thought for them.

And that would be Yun Qingwu’s weakness.

However, he was only half-certain of it. After all, the character of Yun Qingwu was just too stubborn and firm.

Is it a must to use Yun Qingwu’s purity, to gamble on this half-certain decision?

Fang Zhengzhi might be shameless,

But he was still aware of his bottom line. How could he neglect her feelings, when he had already guessed Yun Qingwu’s motive behind his imprisonment?

He loosened the grip on Yun Qingwu’s hand and took a step back at the same time.

“Two months, I only ask for two months. I will return in just two months!” Fang Zhengzhi was still unable to cross his bottom line in the end, even though he knew his actions might lead to him being trapped here “forever”.

“Siew!” Yun Qingwu disappeared immediately.

She did not answer Fang Zhengzhi’s question and escaped directly out from the spell area, as she left without even turning her head back.

“Crap…. Omg!” Fang Zhengzhi was a little taken aback.

What happened to receiving good rewards after doing all the good deeds? There, didn’t he just loosen his grip on her only? He was even trying to be sensitive, but he was neglected in the end?

Escaped!

What did that even mean?

Indeed, one should never be the good guy.

Fang Zhengzhi regretted, as he could have gambled the last opportunity. Because doing that would at least make him die peacefully, rather than staying here forever.

“One day, I can only give you a maximum of one day to leave here.” Yun Qingwu’s voice echoed from afar, before appearing momentarily five feet away from him.

Yun Qingwu looked more calm and peaceful as compared to earlier. Her face had recovered its colour and even her tone was as calm as water.

“This girl, did she put all the cold temperament in her bones?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at her.

However…

What could he do in a day?

Could he possibly travel to the Heavenly Dao Pavilion from the Northern Mountain Village in just one day? Then have another round of “showdown” with Chi Guyan, before running back here?

That was just crappy.

Hold on.

That sounded very strange.

One day?

He had already broken the spell by himself, why would he be so silly to come back again? Did Yun Qingwu’s brain experience a short circuit?

“You’re really letting me go for one day?” Fang Zhengzhi still couldn’t believe it.

“Yes.” Yun Qingwu nodded her head, and it seemed as though she had forgotten about the possibility that he might not return.

“Good.” Fang Zhengzhi reacted almost immediately.

Momentarily, the surrounding ground stopped trembling. Everything seemed to have restored its original peace, and it was calm once again, like nothing had happened.

“You may leave.” Yun Qingwu turned her body slowly, as she did not even give Fang Zhengzhi a look, and just disappeared into the thin air.

Fang Zhengzhi was certainly aware that Yun Qingwu would have returned back into the spell area, but he did not understand the reason why Yun Qingwu would let him go.

Did his whole sensitive act really work?

That was impossible.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that his acting skills were good, but he was sure that Yun Qingwu’s intelligence was of an even higher level.

To trick Yun Qingwu?

That would be the most absurd possibility.

Unless…

She was willing to!

“This girl……was really willing to get tricked by me?” Fang Zhengzhi was confused, but he did not think much about it. He slowly turned and looked forward.

Northern Mountain Village, the familiar Northern Mountain Village!

…

…

Bright sunlight cascaded from the sky and shone right into the busy Northern Mountain Village, as a faint golden light glowed around the village.

“Lord Fang? No……it’s Cang King!”

“Cang King is back!”

“What? Cang King is back?!”

As Fang Zhengzhi’s figure appeared in the Northern Mountain Village, the anxious atmosphere in the village turned lively, just like a pack of matchsticks being lit up.

“Zhengzhi is back!”

“How can you call him Zhengzhi? Address him as the Cang King!”

“Oh yes yes, our Zhengzhi is now the mighty Cang King.”

The villagers were all crowding around, blocking the whole passageway of the Northern Mountain Village, as everyone wanted to go in front to “touch” him.

He could understand the warm excitement from the villagers.

But his eyes were continuously looking for someone, as the person that he had been looking forward most to see, was not among the crowd.

“Where’s my mum and dad?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

“This…..This….” One of the villagers heard his question, and the expression on his face instantly turned from joyous to sulky and dull.

“It’s our fault, we did not take good care of sister Xuelian, she……she…..”

“WHAT?!” Fang Zhengzhi’s heart skipped a beat as he scanned his surroundings, and he instantly let out a cold sweat.

He made a small turn and leaped over the crowd. He charged towards the Fang family’s house.

“So fast?!”

“What kind of speed is that?”

“Oh my god, Zhengzhi….. is actually that amazing?”

The villagers stared at Fang Zhengzhi, who leaped and disappeared instantly. They were all dumbfounded as Fang Zhengzhi had never showed his power in front of the villagers.

Before that, when Fang Zhengzhi returned to the village, he would behave like a normal human being, but with a lot more strength than the rest.

However…..

When they had seen what was happening, they finally realised how powerful Fang Zhengzhi was. They also figured out how Fang Zhengzhi would become the youngest King in the Great Xia Dynasty.

…

“Pong!” The door in Fang’s family flew open.

A black figure began running in front as soon as the door opened, her face filled with excitement and happiness.

It was Wu Yuer wearing a long black silky dress.

She was also the first one to rush forward after knowing that Fang Zhengzhi had returned.

“Fang Zheng…”

“Wu Yuer, is my mum in trouble? Did you stop caring about my mother after I disappeared?” Fang Zhengzhi asked without waiting for her to finish her sentence.

“I…” Wu Yuer’s excitement disappeared immediately. She saw the expression on Fang Zhengzhi’s face, and swallowed the words that were about to come out from her mouth.

As the leader of Shadow Sect, when was she ever interrogated by anyone?

But when Fang Zhengzhi asked that question, her heart had skipped a beat, as though she were a criminal that had been caught.

It made her felt strange on the inside.

That didn’t seem right? This lad had gone missing for so long, she should be the one who was angry? Why did it seem like she was the one at fault?

She was about to open her mouth.

But all of a sudden, Wu Yuer realised the Fang Zhengzhi who was standing in front of her felt different.

Clearly he looked the same as before.

But it felt completely different.

“Could it be that this lad…” Wu Yuer’s eyes brightened up as a possibility flashed across her mind.

Just at this moment, there was a sound of someone coughing inside the room. Then a voice spoke up.

“Zheng’er……Is Zheng……Is Zheng’er back?” A weak sound came out. It sounded anxious and scared, yet worried at the same time.

“Mother?!” Fang Zhengzhi froze, his dull expression instantly changed to joy, “Mother, you’re not dead? Then is Father dead?”

“You’re the one that is dead!” The same weak sound came out again, but this time round a little more frustrated.

At the same time, a figure wearing a coat appeared in front of the door. While his face looked a tad yellowish, his figure was still looking very well-built.

“…..” Fang Zhengzhi felt that he had misunderstood the situation.

But, he reacted very quickly, as he realised that the villagers meant that both Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde had fallen sick. That explained their guilty and speechless expressions.

That made Fang Zhengzhi realised something.

His disappearance had seriously affected the health of Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde.

“Father!”

“Ummmm…..Glad that you’re back!” Fang Houde waved his hand, covering up the stains of the tears, and turned slightly away. “Next time remember to inform us when you’re out.”

“Yes, father.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded, and he did not explain about the part that he got captured by Yun Qingwu. Instead, he quickly went into the house.

Very quickly, a figure hugged him.

That warmth came out from inside the body.

Obviously, Qin Xuelian was desperate to climb down from the bed, although her body was still feeling weak. Her weak hand grabbed onto Fang Zhengzhi tightly, very very tightly…

“Zhenger, you’re finally back. Mother…..I was very scared, scared that you’re in trouble…..” Qin Xuelian’s body trembled, as tears began swelling up and dropped down from the corner of her eyes.

“Mother, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

“Ohh ok….. mother won’t worry, I will be okay. Don’t you go and reprimand Wu Yuer, she had been taking care of us. She went out in the morning to search for you, then accompanied me beside my bed at night. I wouldn’t…. If it’s not for her, I wouldn’t have been able to see you again…..” Qin Xuelian said while rubbing away the tears.

“Is she that good?” Fang Zhengzhi was a little surprised.

He did not think that Wu Yuer would have such a soft and attentive side of her. Every night talking to her beside her bed? Taking care of her attentively?

Indeed, this girl had the best acting skills in the world.

“Yes, Yuer is really nice to mother!” Qin Xuelian let loose of Fang Zhengzhi. Then she pulled him to sit beside the bed. “I’ll be fine as long as you’re back, but there’s one thing….. That I can’t stop letting go.”

“What is it?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

“Mother would like to have a grandchild!” Qin Xuelian said as she looked at Wu Yuer, who was standing by the door. At the same time, they nodded their heads, as though they knew what each other was thinking.
