Snowflakes fell, covering the ground with a thick layer of snow-white makeup overnight.
It had come in such a hurry and so suddenly, as if it wanted to use its pure white body to wash the vast land, as if it wanted to wash away the sins of the human world and not leave a single stain behind.
It was just that the human world was heartless.
For thousands of years, wherever someone appeared, evil would descend.
Human nature was selfish, and even the heavens felt frustrated.
Who could stop the tragedies in the human world? Even the heavens were powerless to stop them.
The heavy snow continued to fall. It had been falling quietly for thousands of years.
However, after thousands of years, it had become indifferent and cold.
The snow was cold, but its heart was even colder.
Just like the heart of that youth…
"Little Ding, don't run. Look at my invincible snowball.”Following a child's voice, a snowball the size of a palm flew towards a running child.
Little Ding nimbly dodged the snowball and pretended to be a ghost child to the little girl who threw the snowball.""You can't throw it, you can't throw it, haha. Ah…" Ding was so busy making faces that he didn't notice a big rock under his feet and tripped.
Little Ding struggled to get up, but found two feet in front of him. It was a pair of child's feet. He slowly raised his head and looked at the person who had come.
"Mom!" Little Ding immediately shouted in fear. He hurriedly got up and ran towards the children who were playing. As he ran, he shouted,"The monster is out, the monster is out…"
The entire street instantly quieted down. All eyes were on the person who had just arrived. It was unknown who shouted first, but the children immediately fled in all directions like caged beasts.
The child that the children were hiding from was also a child named Fang Ziyu. Why did the children call him a monster? Fang Ziyu was born with a Yin-Yang face. One side of his face was normal, while the other side was black. On the black side of his face, there was even fine white hair. It was really disgusting. If one only looked at the half of his face, Fang Ziyu would look pretty and cute. However, with this half of his black face, he would become a monster that adults would laugh at and children would be afraid of.
Fang Ziyu coldly glanced at the children who were hiding far away from him, and continued to walk away with a cold expression on his face.
The children gathered together not far behind him and shouted in unison," Monster, monster, go away quickly. You hide at home every day. Father doesn't love you, and mother doesn't love you. When you walk, your butt shakes…" It was unknown who composed this awkward nursery rhyme. Although it was awkward, the children sounded quite fluent. It was as if they had already recited this nursery rhyme a thousand times. It sounded so neat and smooth.
Fang Ziyu seemed to have heard it a thousand times, so he didn't make any reaction and just quickened his pace.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, Fang Ziyu slammed the door and walked towards his room.
"Young Master is back!" A middle-aged woman in bloated clothes with a dirty scarf around her waist ran out of the kitchen and smiled at Fang Ziyu,""Young Master, today is your eighth birthday. Nanny specially cooked a bowl of longevity noodles and even made an egg. Do you know that this egg is your Uncle Blessing…"
"Bang!" Before Nanny could finish, Fang Ziyu slammed the door of his room.
The nanny turned to a middle-aged man who had rushed over after hearing the noise. The two of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
"Ah, Ah Fu, Little Young Master's temper is getting weirder and weirder.”
Uncle Blessing clenched his fists and said coldly," It's all because of those people in the village. If they provoke me, I'll skin them alive."”As he spoke, a gleam of light flashed in Uncle Fu's eyes, and then he returned to his lifeless state.
"Hmph, skin him?" Nanny knocked Uncle Blessing's head hard and said,""If you dare to mess around, I'll skin you first.”
Seeing that Nanny was angry, Uncle Blessing immediately changed his previous ruthless look and said with a smile,"Honey, don't be angry. I was just joking. How would I dare? For the safety of Young Master, I will swallow any infuriating thing.”After saying that, he rubbed his skinny belly.
"Puchi." Nanny couldn't help but chuckle, and then she said helplessly,""The young master and young miss have given us a great debt of gratitude. Before they died, they entrusted the young master to us. No matter what, you must not cause trouble. We must bring the young master up safely. Otherwise, I won't have the face to see my son-in-law and miss after I die.”
At the mention of his son-in-law's young miss, Uncle Blessing scolded with a face full of hatred," Damn those bastards in the cultivation world. Who did we offend? They came to kill us for no reason, just because we are…"
Nanny's expression changed drastically. She quickly covered Uncle Blessing's mouth with her hand and nervously looked outside the door. She scolded softly,""Are you an idiot? How could he casually say such a thing?”
Uncle Blessing gently pulled Nanny's hand and smiled bitterly.""Yuhu, the young master is already eight years old. There are some things that he should know. What if one day we…Young Master doesn't even know who his enemy is?”
She put down her hand weakly and looked at Fang Ziyu's door. She said softly,""Let me think about it."
※※※※※※
"Dong, dong, dong, kuang, kuang, kuang. Be careful of the fire…"
As the sound of the night watch gradually faded away, Fang Ziyu rubbed his rumbling stomach, jumped off the bed, and gently opened the door.
"Young Master, you're out? Are you hungry? Nanny will cook noodles for you." With that, the nanny ran to the kitchen.
Fang Ziyu stared blankly at Nanny's back. He knew that Nanny was afraid that he would be hungry in the middle of the night, so she had been waiting at his door. Since he came back in the afternoon, Fang Ziyu had been hiding in his room. No matter how Nanny and Uncle Blessing called him, he would not come out for dinner. After all, he was only an eight-year-old child. How could he endure hunger? Nanny knew that he would definitely sneak out in the middle of the night to look for food, so she had been waiting at his door.
After a while, Nanny came out with a bowl of steaming noodles and placed it on the table. She took out a torch to light the oil lamp and waved at Fang Ziyu."Young Master, come and eat. There are eggs to eat today."
Eggs? Fang Ziyu remembered that the last time he ate eggs was on his seventh birthday. Eggs were a luxury to him.
"Young Master, don't be silly. Come and eat your noodles.”Uncle Blessing had appeared beside Fang Ziyu out of nowhere and pulled him to the table.
"Uncle Blessing, Nanny…"
"Young Master, don't say anything else. Eat the noodles first.”Nanny handed a pair of chopsticks to Fang Ziyu and said,""After eating the longevity noodles, the young master will be eight years old. Nanny has something to tell you after eating the noodles.”
Nodding his head, Fang Ziyu buried his head in his noodles. Uncle Blessing and Nanny looked at each other and smiled.
After clearing the dishes, Nanny sat down opposite Fang Ziyu with a serious face and said softly,""Young Master, you're already eight years old now. You're a big child. There are some things that Nanny feels that she should tell you. Listen well, no matter what happens in the future, you must not leak a word of what Nanny says later.”
Looking at Uncle Blessing and Nanny's serious expressions, Fang Ziyu knew that what Nanny was about to say was definitely something serious, so he could not help but be on high alert.
Uncle Blessing and Nanny revealed a comforting smile, secretly thinking that this child was indeed smart.
"Listen carefully, Young Master," Nanny said in a low voice. Actually, your Uncle Blessing and I aren't humans.”
Fang Ziyu did not reply, but a look of disbelief could be seen in his eyes.
"Sigh, Young Master, I knew you wouldn't believe me, but I can prove it to you.”With that, the nanny gently lifted the long dress behind her, and a white fluffy tail suddenly jumped out from under the dress, constantly swinging back and forth.
Fang Ziyu frowned, but he didn't say anything.
Uncle Blessing and Nanny, who had been silent at the side, looked at each other again. Both of them saw surprise in each other's eyes. He couldn't help but nod in admiration. This child had been calm since he was young. He would definitely be extraordinary in the future.
"Little Master, why aren't you surprised when you hear that we're not human?" Uncle Blessing asked.”
Fang Ziyu replied calmly,"Why should I be surprised?"
" This…" Uncle Blessing was speechless. Yes, why should he be surprised? What was there to be surprised about? Even so, Uncle Fu still admired Fang Ziyu from the bottom of his heart. If it were any other child who saw this scene, they would have burst into tears. This was also why Uncle Blessing and Nanny did not dare to tell him, because they were afraid that Fang Ziyu would not be able to take the shock and would shout to attract the neighbors. If this matter were to spread to the ears of the self-cultivators, their eight years of hard work would be in vain. They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that Fang Ziyu would be hurt. After all, he was the only child left by their master.
Nanny nodded gratefully." Young Master, I'm really pleased that you have such wisdom." In fact, your Uncle Fu and I are the two fox demons that your parents subdued back then.”
"Demon?" Fang Ziyu rubbed his dark face and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Nanny gently held Fang Ziyu's hand and said,""Sigh, Young Master, you guessed right. Actually, not only me and your Uncle Blessing are demons, but you are also a demon.”
Fang Ziyu gently put down his hand and nodded,"Oh."
Uncle Blessing and Nanny couldn't help but gasp. No matter how strong a person's mental fortitude was, they would be shocked if they suddenly found out that they were demons without any mental preparation. Fang Ziyu, on the other hand, only replied with a gentle "oh". An eight-year-old child had a calmness and composure that did not match his age. Should he be glad or sad?
Shaking her head, Nanny sorted out her thoughts and began to recall,"" This matter has to start from 1,500 years ago…"
