Fire Captain

The next day at noon, Bai Qian walked out of the cave with a sore back and stretched her body. Mi Gu ran over and said, "Aunt, the Wing Clan's Li Jing Yi Jun sent a name card to see you, and he has been waiting at the entrance of the valley for half a day!"

Bai Qian rubbed her waist and gritted her teeth and said, "Kick him out of the cave!"

"Ah..." Migu said, "Aunt, he is waiting at the entrance of the valley and has not entered the cave yet!"

Bai Qian waved her hand and said, "Let him be!"

Bai Ziyang came out with the food and said, "All grudges must be settled!"

Bai Qian picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate while saying, "What's there for me to settle with him? It was settled long ago!"

Bai Ziyang poured her a bowl of soup and put it next to her and said, "Okay, eat more!"

Two days later, Bai Ziyang said as he watched the figure from afar by the lake: "It seems that there are still some things to say. Just because you think it's over, it's not really over."

Bai Qian was leaning against the pavilion, absorbed in reading a storybook. Hearing this, she raised her head to look at the figure standing at the entrance of the valley, and said helplessly, "That's fine. It's not a big deal to stay here all the time."

Bai Qian put down the bamboo slips and walked towards the departure. Bai Ziyang expressed that he had no interest in knowing what the two said in the end. Anyway, the last one left sadly, while the other came back with a smile on his face.

Ah Yi woke up and didn't remember anything that happened before. He ran out and rushed over to Bai Ziyang as soon as he saw him. He said happily, "Dad!"

Bai Ziyang caught him and said with a smile: "Oh, my big fat boy!"

When Bai Qian came back, she saw the father and son having fun, so she sat down and asked, "Ayi, are you feeling unwell?"

Ah Yi said nonchalantly: "No, mother, I just took a nap. There is no discomfort at all. On the contrary, I feel very comfortable!"

Bai Qian shook her head helplessly and said, "Just like your father, you are really carefree!"

Bai Ziyang asked: "What is our son's full name?"

Bai Qian said: "I haven't given it a name yet. I've been waiting for you to give it a name!"

Bai Ziyang hugged Ayi and said, "I'm used to calling you Ayi anyway, so let's just call you Baiyi!"

The newly-minted Bai Yi said, "Dad, is it okay to be so casual?"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "Isn't it better to be casual? Otherwise, just call me Bai Suiyi!"

Ayi said, "Let's call him Baiyi!" Then he felt thirsty, grabbed the cup on the table and drank.

Bai Ziyang tried to stop him and said, "This is your mother's wine..."

Unexpectedly, Ah Yi not only drank it all in one gulp, but also took two sips and said, "This is Zhe Yan's Peach Blossom Wine!"

Bai Ziyang picked up Ayi and said, "Good boy, you can drink a lot!"

Bai Qian said, "He has been drinking with me since he was a kid. I still remember the first time he drank with me, he was drunk for two days. But now he can probably drink half as much as I can!"

Bai Ziyang said: "Then tomorrow we will not go home until we are drunk!"

Ah Yi clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay!"

Unexpectedly, one day Zheyan suddenly appeared in Qingqiu. Logically speaking, it was nothing strange for Zheyan to come to Qingqiu, because Bai Qian and Bai Ziyang went to Zheyan's Ten Mile Peach Forest just like going back to their own home. The key point was that Zheyan's expression was very different when he came this time.

Bai Qian looked at Zheyan and said, "Zheyan, three hundred years ago you told me with this expression that Master might be coming back. I was so happy for nothing at the time, but now..."

Zhe Yan looked at Bai Qian and said, "Now... I told you that Mo Yuan is really coming back, aren't you anxious?"

Bai Qian asked in disbelief: "You...are you really not lying to me?"

Zhe Yan smiled and said, "Girl, I'm definitely not lying to you this time!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at Bai Ziyang and said, "A few days ago, Zhenzhen and I went to the West Sea to do some work. There, we met the eldest prince of the West Sea. At that time, I found that the immortal aura of the eldest prince of the West Sea was very unusual, so I used immortal magic to investigate. As a result, I found that he was two people. The awake one was himself, and the sleeping one was..."

Bai Qian subconsciously asked: "How about the other one?"

Zhe Yan said: "The other one is your master Mo Yuan."

Bai Qian's body swayed, tears were about to fall, but she still asked: "How did you know?"

Zhe Yan said, "You also learned this magic from me when you were young. I followed the source of the other person sleeping in the body of the Great Prince of the West Sea and found out that it was made up of pieces of broken spiritual power. Who else in the world can use the illusory spiritual power to put a broken person back together piece by piece? Only Mo Yuan has this ability."

Bai Ziyang listened to Zhe Yan repeatedly mentioning one piece after another. He didn't know what his mind was thinking about, and his scalp felt tingling.

Zheyan looked at Bai Qian and said, "You mentioned to me before that before Mo Yuan turned to ashes, he asked you dozen brothers to wait for him. I always thought that was a thought he left for you. It wasn't until I saw him last night that I really admired him. Mo Yuan has never let anyone down in his life. This is the true nature of a great man."

Bai Ziyang thought: Mo Yuan wanted Bai Qian to wait for him, but Bai Qian didn't know that she didn't understand and didn't receive his signal. After tens of thousands of years, she thought Mo Yuan was telling everyone to wait for him. Mo Yuan is a typical person who loves but can't express it. He didn't express his feelings at that time, but he wanted to express them tens of thousands of years later. I'm afraid he would never have thought that Bai Ziyang would appear in the middle to intercept him.

If no one pointed out Mo Yuan's feelings, Bai Qian might never have thought of it in her lifetime. Mo Yuan would never say it, and even if Zhe Yan might guess it in the future, he would not say it. As for Bai Ziyang...? He didn't get kicked in the head.

Looking at Bai Qian from the other side, her legs softened and she sat down on the couch behind her. Bai Ziyang was afraid that she would fall, so he rushed to catch her from behind. Bai Qian seemed unaware and muttered to herself, "Master..."

Zhe Yan looked at the two of them, shook his head and sighed, "It took him 70,000 years to get to where he is today. Now he is still a little scattered and needs to borrow the immortal power of others to continue recuperating. I guess it is because of this that Mo Yuan fell asleep in the body of the Great Prince of the West Sea to recuperate!"

Bai Qian turned around and looked at Bai Ziyang with empty eyes and said, "I just don't know if the Great Prince of the West Sea is worthy of being a master?"

Bai Ziyang wiped Bai Qian's tears and patted her back with heartache. Zheyan said, "The body of the eldest prince of the West Sea is just ordinary. In addition to supporting himself to recuperate, he also has to use his immortal power to recuperate Mo Yuan. Over time, his body has gradually weakened. If Mo Yuan really wants to wake up, it will probably take another seven or eight thousand years."

Bai Qian leaned her head against Bai Ziyang's chest and said, "I have been thinking about this for 70,000 years. I am really afraid that this will be a false alarm again."

Bai Ziyang said: "No matter what the situation is, I think you have to go and take a look to feel at ease, right?"

Bai Qian nodded silently: "Yeah."

Bai Ziyang and Bai Qian came to the West Sea Palace. Zheyan introduced them to the two as immortal messengers he had found to take care of the eldest prince when he was away. It was obvious that the King of the West Sea must have some doubts, but since they were brought by Zheyan, he didn't say anything and took them to the eldest prince's bedroom.

Bai Qian suddenly said: "It's broken!"

Zhe Yan asked quietly: "What's wrong?"

Bai Qian said, "I'm afraid of running into the senior brother."

Bai Ziyang said, "He's not here right now... but even if you run into him, just admit it. Besides, West Sea is his territory, so it would be good for more people to know about it so they can take care of him."

Zheyan said: "Zi Yang was right!"

Bai Qian said, "Okay."

Bai Qian hesitated for a moment when she entered the room. She had waited for 70,000 years and wanted to see Mo Yuan right away, so she felt inexplicably timid. However, she was pushed in by Bai Ziyang behind her. She didn't even have time to feel sad, which made her laugh and cry.

The Lord of the West Sea introduced Bai Qian and Bai Ziyang, saying, "This is my eldest son, Die Yong." Bai Qian thought she would see a sleeping master, but instead she saw a weak stranger. She couldn't find any trace of the demeanor of the former God Mo Yuan in this eldest prince, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The Lord of the West Sea introduced to the eldest prince: "Dieyong, the two auspicious immortals standing in front of you are none other than the most outstanding disciples of the Supreme God Zheyan. From now on, your stubborn illness that has lasted for hundreds of years will be entirely up to these immortals to take care of you."

After sending away the King of the West Sea, Bai Ziyang saw Bai Qian use magic to knock Die Yong unconscious and then used the soul-chasing technique to explore his soul. After a cup of tea, Bai Qian put away her magic, tears of excitement flowing.

After waking up, the eldest prince of the West Sea looked at Bai Qian curiously and asked, "Why are you crying? Is my disease incurable? Even if it is incurable, you don't need to cry so sadly. Don't cry... I won't blame you if it can't be cured."

Bai Ziyang was watching from the sidelines and was laughing silently. Bai Qian glared at him from the corner of her eyes, wiped away her tears and said, "I am crying with joy!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Prince of the West Sea said aggrievedly: "You... I originally thought you were soft-hearted, but I never thought that you were happy to see me suffer!"

Bai Qian could only say: "Not very happy..."

Bai Ziyang was almost laughing to death listening to their conversation. He waved his sleeves and let the eldest prince continue to fall asleep.

Bai Qian looked at Bai Ziyang and said, "Zheyan is right. If Master only relies on Dieyong's weak body, he will need to recuperate for seven or eight thousand years before he can truly wake up... But..."

Bai Ziyang asked, "But what?"

Bai Qian said: "But if I can borrow the Soul Binding Lamp of the Celestial Clan and pass on half of my 140,000 years of cultivation to him, I can help Master wake up soon."

Bai Ziyang didn't react much when he heard about borrowing the Soul Binding Lantern. But when he heard that Bai Qian wanted to transfer half of her 140,000 years of cultivation, he exclaimed, "I knew your idea was unreliable, but I didn't expect it to be so crazy? 70,000 years of cultivation, you can transfer it just like that?"

Bai Qian said: "I know you won't agree, but now that I have you, this cultivation is useless. Don't you have the confidence to protect me?"

Bai Ziyang rolled his eyes and said, "I told you when we were in Junji Mountain in the East Desert, Qianqian, that you are the best at saying sweet words, but... it doesn't work in this case."

Bai Qian saw that her nice words didn't work, so she changed her strategy and said, "My master taught me and saved my life, and even blocked the thunder for me... Now my master, whom I have waited for 70,000 years, is right in front of me. If there is a way to wake my master up soon, how can I let it go? I won't do it!"

Bai Ziyang said: "Keep your bad ideas for others to use, I will find a way to deal with your master's spirit."

Bai Qian said: "What good ideas do you have?"

Bai Ziyang snorted proudly: "I'll tell you tomorrow."

Bai Ziyang suddenly realized and said, "Hey! Have I been fooled?"

Bai Qian stared and asked: "Is there?"

Bai Ziyang narrowed his eyes and stared at Bai Qian and said, "Is this the legendary honey trap?"

Bai Qian said: "How could it be?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Can you be a little more professional? Please invest a little more money into the beauty trap next time!"
