Chapter 1617: Three Months
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Bai Linsu and Linghu Shuang left the palace, they called Chen Xiaobei before soon arriving at the restaurant.
“Come, come! Sit down and rest for a bit! Let me pour you some tea!”
Chen Xiaobei could barely wait any longer, asking as he poured each of them a cup of tea. “Is it a boy or a girl? How many months has it been?”
“Big Bro Chen! Stop asking questions! Can’t you see that sifu is very sad?” Linghu Shuang said.
“What happened?” Chen Xiaobei looked at Bai Linsu. He had noticed her red-rimmed eyes – it was apparent that she had just cried her eyes out.
“It’s nothing.” Bai Linsu shook her head miserably, looking very pale and downcast. “I’ll rest for a while and then I’ll be leaving!”
At most times, weariness of the heart was far more agonizing than the weariness of the physical body.
“Alright, you rest.” Chen Xiaobei’s brows furrowed. He had been waiting the whole day but he did not get any answers. He felt as if there was any army of ants crawling in his heart – an itch that could not be scratched.
“Shuang’er!” Chen Xiaobei signalled with his finger for Linghu Shuang to come to him. “Did you both enter the palace? Did you see the Empress?”
“We did go in but only sifu met the Empress. I was not allowed to go in!” Linghu Shuang said in a hushed voice.
“Only your sifu saw her?” Chen Xiaobei was suddenly nervous. “Has something happened to the child? Why is your sifu so upset?”
“I’m not sure. I asked her a couple of times just now, but she refused to talk about it.” Linghu Shuang frowned, her eyes filled with worry.
“Hmm…” Chen Xiaobei was growing anxious. The information did not matter anymore, what was more important was for the child to be fine!
Chen Xiaobei looked at Bai Linsu. “Sister Bai”, but she did not respond. She was looking out the window, a forlorn look in her eyes. She probably would not answer him even if he asked again.
Chen Xiaobei was on full panic mode.
Although it was uncertain if the Empress’ baby was Little Fox, it was definitely a possibility at the moment.
What if something bad did happen to the child?!
“No, I have to do something about it!”
Chen Xiaobei took out his phone, opened the Three Realms Red Envelope group, and scrolled until he found Lady Nuwo’s name.
Chen Xiaobei: I, Chen Xiaobei am here to greet Lady Nuwo! Please give me the exact information on where to find the reincarnated Daji!
The Calamity was just around the corner, and Ancestral Lord Hong Diao had invited six Saints from the heavenly realm for a lecture. Both the Prime of Tongtian and Lady Nuwo were involved.
If he was not really anxious, Chen Xiaobei would not have interrupted her by messaging her directly.
Luckily, Lady Nuwo had some free time to reply him.
Lady Nuwo: Daji is my disciple. You have been so dedicated to her, worrying about her safety – this proves that you are a good man! I will help reacquaint the both of you. To no avail, the number of days are unclear, and its fate uncertain. If I get involved, I’m afraid that I might distort your destiny and ruin everything!
Chen Xiaobei: I don’t need you to get involved. I just want to know if there’s any clue as to where she is, and if she’s alright.
Lady Nuwo: She’s fine at the moment!
Chen Xiaobei: At the moment? Are you saying that she would be in danger the next time?
Lady Nuwo: It’s still unclear and I can’t predict the exact situation! As for the danger, Calamity is coming soon and all living beings are in danger. Who would be so lucky to escape?
Chen Xiaobei: Please tell me. Lady Nuwo, where is she? I have to find her and protect her!
Lady Nuwo: It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. It’s just that the time has not yet come. If I tell you now, it will only cause you to change your fate!
Chen Xiaobei: Little Fox died for me! I don’t see why I cannot change my fate for her!
Lady Nuwo: It’s not as simple as you think! The prime of Tongtian chose you because you are an anomaly when it comes to the subject of fate! If I alter your fate, then I would be ruining the Tongtian shixiong’s calculation! The consequences of that are very serious!
Chen Xiaobei: Sifu’s calculation?
Lady Nuwo: During the last calamity, Tongtian shixiong’s Jieism suffered terrible losses!
Lady Nuwo: Until today, there’s only you and the Tongtian shixiong! The Prime of Tongtian who fought four Saints on his own had his Godslayer Swords taken away. Even all his Divine Instruments had been robbed off him. Thus, he is only left with a broken Qing Ping Sword! You can say that all of Tongtian shixiong and Jieism’s hopes now lie on you alone! You have to be the one to make the decision!
Chen Xiaobei: I… I can’t!
Chen Xiaobei did not know what to do. He was at a loss.
On one hand was Little Fox’s safety. On the other was his Sifu and the expectations from Jieism.
Both were equally important to him. Choosing one would mean sacrificing the other. Chen Xiaobei could not do either.
Lady Nuwo: You don’t need to be at such a loss. Like I said just now, I will eventually tell you, but it’s just not the time yet!
Chen Xiaobei: It’s not time yet? When then? When will you tell me Little Fox’s exact position?
Lady Nuwo: I will tell you everything when you reach God Ascension cultivation! When that time comes, you will then have complete control over your fate.
Chen Xiaobei: God Ascension cultivation! Alright! It’s decided then. But can you guarantee that Little Fox will be safe before I reach God Ascension cultivation?
Lady Nuwo: Three months! She should be fine for three months!
Chen Xiaobei: What? I’m now in the human realm where most people can’t even reach God Ascension cultivation after hundreds of years. You’ve only given me three months! It’s just too short!
Lady Nuwo: I’m not giving you three months. It’s just that as of now, I can only roughly estimate the situation within three months, and I can only say that she will probably be fine. Either way, there is no guarantee!
Chen Xiaobei: If that’s the case, I still can’t rest my mind!
Lady Nuwo: That is your only choice! Rather than going around and around in circles, you might as well use these three months to improve yourself! If you want Daji to be safe, you must first be powerful enough!
Chen Xiaobei: Yes! You’re right! I am still very weak now! If anything were to happen, I might not be able to protect her!
Lady Nuwo: It’s good that you understand!
Chen Xiaobei: From today onwards, I will do my best to strengthen myself and achieve God Ascension cultivation as soon as possible! Three months! No matter what, I must do my best!
Lady Nuwo: Mm, ask me again on the day you break through!
Chen Xiaobei: Thank you so much, Lady Nuwo! Goodbye Lady Nuwo!
Chen Xiaobei put away his phone and leaned back against the chair.
He heaved a long sigh, feeling as if half of the burden he had been carrying had been lifted off his shoulders.
Little Fox should be fine for three months!
As for what would happen after the three months, Chen Xiaobei did not know. That was why he was still not completely relieved of that burden in his heart!
Bam!
Suddenly, the group of men in black armour flipped their table and came over to Chen Xiaobei’s table, belligerent.
Chen Xiaobei was stunned for a moment but he managed to ask, “How may I help you?”
