It would have been fine if Chen Shuheng did not mention Mo Wanxin to her, but once he mentioned Mo Shangqiu, he was like a porcupine. He couldn't even touch them. Chen Shuheng's expression was ugly. Didn't Mo Shangqiu's words mean that he didn't protect the mother and son well?
" Cough, cough…" Chen Shuheng coughed lightly to regain some face for himself. Before he could speak, Mo Shangqiu broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Father, I have something to say.”Mo Shangqiu had already decided to go to the Heavenly Nuo Realm in a few days.
"Yes." Chen Shuheng nodded, indicating that he should continue.
Mo Shangqiu stood up and said firmly to Chen Shuheng,"Father, I want to go on a long trip in a few days. I hope you can forgive me for not being able to accompany you.”
"Where are you going? I'll send Shuang 'er to follow you.”Chen Shuheng thought that Mo Shangqiu was going to look for Mo Wanxin and started to get anxious.
"No, my daughter is used to being alone. One more person will become a burden.”Mo Shangqiu did not give Chen Shuheng any face at all. Chen Shuheng was so angry that he almost smashed something.
"This…" Chen Shuheng revealed a difficult expression and hesitated.
Mo Shangqiu struck while the iron was hot." I've already decided. I hope Father will agree."”
Chen Shuheng saw that Mo Shangqiu did not give in. His determined gaze eventually yielded. He was too impatient to think that someone who had not been controlled for more than ten years would listen to him overnight. However, Mo Wanxin's whereabouts were unknown, and Mo Shangqiu was unwilling to tell her, so she was really anxious.
"In that case, be careful on the way.”Chen Shuheng no longer forced Mo Shangqiu and agreed to her decision.
"Thank you for your help, Father. I will take my leave.”Mo Shangqiu turned around and left, but she stopped just as she was about to leave the room.
"Mother passed away more than ten years ago.”His voice was not too loud, but it sounded like a reply. After saying that, he left without looking back.
Chen Shuheng's ears buzzed, as if he had been struck by lightning. She was in a daze and almost fell to the ground." Wan 'er is dead. How could that be?" She wouldn't die. His daughter must have lied to him. I'm definitely lying to him. Yes, that's right."
Chen Shu Heng muttered to himself in the study, acting crazy. He was no longer the energetic Duke of Chen who had been in high spirits during the day. Anyone who saw his appearance now would probably not be able to recognize him.
Just like that, three days slowly passed, until Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue left. His spirit was slightly better, but his haggard face could not hide his weakness.
As soon as Mo Shangqiu left, Chen Junxi ordered people to protect his sister secretly. It seemed that he cared more about his sister than Chen Fuxi.
Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue left on their horses, leaving behind a group of people with different thoughts. Chen Fuxi's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as she watched Mo Shangqiu slowly disappear from her mind.
It was precisely because of this that Chen Junxi would secretly protect Mo Shangqiu. He knew better than anyone what kind of person his biological sister was. Just like his mother, she was always scheming. Whoever offended her would not be able to live in peace.
After exiting the city gates, Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue's speed was clearly much faster. It would take about half a month to get to the Heavenly Nuo Realm from here. If they traveled a little slower, it would take almost a month.
Mu Chuxue caught up with Mo Shangqiu and rode together." Sister Mo, do we need to be in such a hurry?”
Mo Shangqiu did not even look at her and continued whipping the horse. He explained," If you walk slowly, who knows if you'll sleep in the wilderness at night? Why do you want to stay outside and feed the wolves?”
Mu Chuxue's body was slightly startled. Mu Chuxue refused decisively. "I don't want to. Let's hurry up.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They hurried on their way." Gah…Gah." The sound of horse hooves echoed in the air, and it was so powerful that it made people excited.
A gentle breeze blew past, stirring up their hair. The passersby could not help but take a few more glances at this beautiful woman.
Mo Shangqiu sprinted all the way and only took a short rest along the way. After eating some food and drinking some water, they continued their journey. As dusk approached, something unimaginable happened.
Mo Shangqiu suddenly felt something tiny flying around in the air. Pulling the reins to a stop, he observed carefully. The little bugs flapped their wings and flew forward. The more Mo Shangqiu looked at them, the more she felt that they looked like flying ants. But why were so many ants flying in the same direction?
Mo Shangqiu looked back and was shocked. Behind him, a large number of insects covered the entire sky. A shocking sense of oppression…
Mo Shangqiu frowned slightly. There was a strange phenomenon in the sky. Not knowing what was going to happen, Mo Shangqiu took out a scarf and covered her mouth and nose. If she was on her way, she would be disgusted to death if any insects accidentally flew into her nose.
He instructed Mu Chuxue to use the same method to cover her mouth and nose before rushing forward without stopping.
Mo Shangqiu thought that it was better to rush to the small town and find a place to stay. He wondered what unusual things would happen tonight.
Many commoners were doing farm work in their fields when they felt the sky suddenly darken. Looking up at the sky, he saw a group of insects flying towards the village. He stood rooted to the ground and watched the insects fly towards his village.
Mo Shangqiu and Mu Chuxue finally arrived at a small town before nightfall. After settling their horses, they found an inn to rest.
The two of them asked for a superior room. They had gradually integrated their living habits. The main reason was that Mu Chuxue couldn't leave Mo Shangqiu now.
After dinner in the room, the sky was completely dark. Mu Chuxue was lying on the bed earlier than Mo Shangqiu. When Mo Shangqiu came out of the shower, she happened to see Mu Chuxue with her eyes half-closed. She comfortably occupied the bed.
A black shadow drew Mo Shangqiu's attention. Mo Shangqiu turned around and saw a black dot on the window. Slowly, more and more black dots appeared and kept moving. In the blink of an eye, the window paper was covered with black shadows. Mo Shangqiu was so stunned that she forgot what her hands were doing.
Mo Shangqiu carefully approached the windowsill step by step. The black shadow gradually became clearer. When he saw the black shadow clearly, Mo Shangqiu took a step back in shock. Her body was stunned for a moment.
Those black shadows were the flying ants that Mo Shangqiu had seen in the evening. They were all attached to the window paper. In a while, more and more insects would break through the window and rush in. Mo Shangqiu retreated step by step. She had never seen such a scene before. It was inevitable that she would feel a little uneasy when she saw it for the first time.
Mu Chuxue was about to fall asleep, but when she sensed something was wrong, she focused. Following Mo Shangqiu's line of sight, she sat up immediately.
Sister Mo, what's that?" Mu Chuxue pointed at the thing on the window paper in surprise, her fingers trembling.
Mo Shangqiu regained her senses and her gaze swept across the candles in the room. His eyes lit up, and he quickly swept past Mu Chuxue. With a wave of his hand, the room fell into darkness.
Mo Shangqiu followed her instincts and groped her way back to the bed. Standing next to Mu Chuxue, she felt a little nervous and uneasy at this moment.
Mo Shangqiu calmed herself down before explaining," Those were the insects we saw during the day. We didn't expect them to fly here."”
It wasn't just this small town that had these bugs. Everywhere in the five countries, as long as there were people living there, they were crawling with these bugs. This was a once-in-a-hundred-years natural disaster. He did not expect Mo Shangqiu and the others to actually make it in time.
Many villagers did not pay much attention to those small insects at first. When they sat in their houses and lit up, they attracted a large group of insects. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter, but he did not know how to resolve it. She could only watch in her room and did not dare to go out.
" Boom..." With a muffled thunder, he pulled back his mind. The Mo Shangqiu duo lay on the bed, their entire bodies covered tightly, feeling a little ill at ease.
As the thunder fell, a heavy downpour followed. Breaking the peace of the night, the sound of the rain resounded through the clouds. In this night, Mo Shangqiu's strong heartbeat could be heard very clearly.
The night was so quiet that only the sound of rain could be heard. Suddenly, a hand grabbed Mo Shangqiu's arm. Mu Chuxue's entire body trembled as she hugged Mo Shangqiu in fear.
He was so nervous that he could not fall asleep. The two of them remained silent, not daring to speak.
It was destined to be difficult to sleep that night. As time passed, some villages were filled with rain. Rainwater flowed into the house through the crack in the door. The rain did not weaken but instead became heavier.
The houses were filled with water, making them uninhabitable. Many villagers took the risk to leave their houses. Who knew that they would be swept into the river as soon as they left the house and washed downstream.
The sound of rain, crying, and collapsing echoed throughout the peaceful village. The tattered thatched cottages could not withstand the torrential rain at all. As time passed, the thatched cottages were washed down by the heavy rain and flowed down with the river.
Mo Shangqiu did not know when she had fallen asleep. When she woke up in the morning, the rain did not stop. It was still raining heavily. Mo Shangqiu shook her head. Last night was truly a terrifying night.
In the morning, the emperors of the five countries were discussing the heavy rain in court. The local officials reported the losses caused by the heavy rain. The ministers stood in the court and did not dare to speak out. They were all careful not to provoke the dragon's face, afraid that it would bring disaster to themselves.
Seeing that none of the officials in the court dared to step forward to deal with this natural disaster, the old Emperor of Xuan Lin Country could not suppress the anger in his eyes and asked again.
"Dear ministers, who is willing to go to the south of the city to solve the problems caused by the flood?”After the old Emperor finished asking, there was still silence, and the civil and military officials lowered their presence. He was deeply afraid that he would become the unlucky one.
The old Emperor saw that no one dared to take the initiative to stand up. He was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. He could not help but pick up the memorial on the dragon tower and throw it at the officials below.
The ministers below had terrified expressions as they fell to their knees and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize, begging the old Emperor to calm down.
"All of you only know how many disaster victims there are in the memorial. If you really want to step out and solve the problem, all of you are cowards.”The old Emperor angrily pointed at the ministers and cursed.
There were countless victims outside the city, homeless and waiting to be rescued by these officials. Looking at how these so-called parents were all afraid of their own hands and brains, they did not look like parents at all.
The old Emperor looked disappointedly at these ministers who claimed to share his worries and the world's worries. He felt deeply pained. When a disaster came, he only thought of his own interests and ignored the people of the world.
" Cough cough…" The old Emperor's body began to cough violently. His sickly appearance could not hide his anger.
