Golden Orchids

Chapter 35

Zhe Yan had agreed to her request without a second thought. "It is the least I could do, " he said.

Yan Zhi's eyes widened, "Really?"

"Every child deserves to live despite the parentage, " Zhe Yan said. Next to her, Li Jing lowered down his gaze, "I don't know what to say, High God. If Xuan Nu was here, she will be eternally grateful, "

Zhe Yan's expression turned serious, "It's best if you never mentioned her name, "

Li Jing bowed, "Of course, my apologies, "

Zhe Yan smiled, "To revive your child you would need to use the Miracle herb to create a pill. That pill would have to contain the cultivation of both celestial and demon, "

"Is creating such a pill even possible? Even getting the herb itself from the four monstrous beasts is impossible already, " Yan Zhi asked.

"The pill had to be made in the Furnace of Kunlun Mountain, " Zhe Yan admitted, "Lucky for you, my cultivation alone is suitable for the child, "

Li Jing gasped, "You don't have to, Zhe Yan. I can use my cultivation. I'll ask my wife-"

"Your wife isn't allowed to step foot in Kunlun Mountain, " Zhe Yan added, turning to Yan Zhi, "I'm an old soul. Just accept it as repayment for taking care of Xiao Wu, "

Yan Zhi bowed, "Thank you, Zhe Yan, "

The High God smiled, "Coincidentally, Ye Hua is looking for the miracle herb too, "

Yan Zhi raised her eyebrow, "Why?"

Zhe Yan took a sip out of his cup, "Something about reviving Mo Yuan to fulfilled Bai Qian's dream, "

The High God proceeded to explain the signs of Mo Yuan's returns.

"It's risky, " Li Jing admitted, "Without Mo Yuan's soul at the bell, our father might have a chance to escape, "

"You worry too much, " Zhe Yan said, "Bai Qian had sealed the bell not long ago. As long as the three of you don't die out of the blue, the bell will continue to be sealed for another seventy thousand years, "

Yan Zhi turned to her brother, "Er Ge, with Ye Hua with us. We might stand a better chance against the four monstrous beasts guarding the herb, "

Li Jing held her hands, "I know you two are friends now. He's still a celestial. Bai Qian hated Xuan Nu and me. Why would he give us the herb?"

"Because the child is innocent. It's unfair to burden it with the sins of its parents, " Yan Zhi said, "In some way, Ye Hua knew that too, "

Ye Hua and Bai Qian never view her as Qing Chang's daughter. They never blame her for her father's mistakes. By the end of the day, Yan Zhi was their friend and their family. And she was content.

If you forever remain at past mistakes will lead you to be stagnant. Appreciating the people around you and enjoy the little things in life, it's the only way you can move on. Yan Zhi hoped that with this baby, her brother will one day realize this too.

"Very well, " Li Jing finally said, "Let's give this a shot, "

"I thought I told you not to do anything stupid, " Bai Qian scolded as she fed Ye Hua his medicine.

Ye Hua had the nerve to smile, " The only person I do stupid things for is you, "

Bai Qian shoved another spoonful of medicine down his throat. Apparently, after he gave Bai Qian the Soul Gathering Lamp, Ye Hua had gone to Ying Zhou Island. Yan Zhi and her brother had tagged along too. They needed the miracle herb to save Li Jing's child.
