Aztec Civilization: Destiny to Conquer America!-Chapter 1544 - 1085: Ah, This Is My Son?... (Quadruple Extra Update)
May marks the season of spring farming. In the prosperous Texcoco Lake District, continuous black smoke rises from the slash-and-burn fields, with busy farmers and villagers everywhere. Farming in busy times, waging war during idle periods, and performing sacrifices after victories are the three most traditional and valued tasks for the Mexica people. The spring farming at the end of spring and beginning of summer each year is the critical time for determining the annual harvest.
"May the Chief Divine shelter us! The Supreme Main God grants life to the earth with His own divine blood! And I, as the embodiment of the Sun, will personally offer the sacrifices of the Divine Descendants, offering the Chief Divine blood to ensure the land's abundant harvest in five months!"
After subduing the most powerful Prince Xiulote, God King Avit did not idle away in the Capital City. Instead, the diligent God King, with the escort of four thousand Tonsured Guards, diligently inspected the spring farming of various states in the Texcoco Lake District and personally conducted the spring farming sacrifice!
These four thousand loyal Tonsured Guards were handpicked and assembled by Avit himself, bringing together elite warriors from various states, all equipped with the most solid cloth-covered copper armor. In reality, apart from the Kingdom of the Lake, with the Mexica Alliance's national power of over four million people, the standing Copper Axe Warriors that can be supported amount to just two Royal Legions, four thousand Tonsured Guards, totaling only twenty thousand soldiers. Yet, this number of heavy armor is already twice that of the Kingdom of the Lake…
This is the tangible difference in national power. Across the entire world of Central America, even in all of North America, the most prosperous region is the Mexican Valley, the core of the Alliance, along with the Tlaxcala Valley, currently under restoration by the Alliance! And in this era, the population density in these two valleys, especially the Mexica Valley, which had not experienced war, is in no way inferior to Southern Zhili of the Ming Dynasty…
"Praise the Chief Divine! Praise the holy Sun Goddess, and also the revered Father God of Death Wolf!…
"Praise the Chief Divine! Copper Axe Warrior Camp Chief Che Luo, accompany me to visit the esteemed Uncle Cacamatzin!…
"Yes! Witnessed by the Chief Divine! The residence of the Chief Minister's temple is not far from here… We will escort you, ensuring the safety of the Divine Descendants!"
The refreshing breeze of the rainy season blew by, bringing the burnt scent of grass and wood. Spring farming is the top priority for the Alliance, occupying the most manpower. At this moment, the Lake Capital City's population is visibly less than half a month ago. And in the sparsely populated Temple District, everything seemed calm with nothing happening. Everywhere in sight, there were lush flora, blooming flowers, and climbing vines, with sun hummingbirds, the most sacred Divine Emblem, woven from grass, twigs, flowers, and vines hanging on the doors.
"May the Chief Divine protect us! Uncle, it's been over five years, but your spirit is still so vigorous, like a Divine Tree budding and flowering in the mountains!…
"Indeed! Uncle looks really well! Just like the timely blooming cactus flower…
"Ha ha! Little Xiulote, little Alisa! How come you both have time to visit me today?…
Seeing the couple coming to visit, the white-haired Cacamatzin let out a hearty laugh. He paused his work, moved aside the ceramic pot of the freshly planted cactus, stood up, dusted off his hands and clothes, and smilingly asked.
"Oh? You brought a gift? No need to open it, just leave it with the box!… I suppose you've come to check on little Xiu Hua's studies?…
Then, without waiting for them to speak, Cacamatzin loudly called out to the observatory room in the temple courtyard.
"Little Xiu Hua! Come out to play quickly! Your parents have come to see you, and your grandfather isn't in the city, so you're excused from studies today!"
"Huh?! Great Uncle, I've already memorized it! The 20 by 20 multiplication table…
"Really? How did you memorize it so fast?…
"Well… Tidan taught me the trick, she's really, really smart!…
Moments later, little Xiu Hua, in wooden sandals, tilted his head and dashed out of the observatory room in the courtyard. In his tender little hand, he grasped another slightly larger little hand. And a considerably taller slender figure nervously hid behind him.
"Tidan, come out! Why are you hiding behind me?… Look! This is my father, you know him, he's the one who sent people to bring you to the Capital City, to my side… See, this is my mother! Isn't she beautiful?… When you grow up, you should at least be half as pretty as my mother… Hmm! But you're so good at math, so amazing at mental calculations, I think you might be much smarter than my mother…
"Ah! Oh no, Mother is frowning, she's definitely going to pinch my face now! Tidan, you better run with me… And remember, in the future you must never be as fierce as my mother!…
"Hmm? What's this?…
Hearing little Xiu Hua's words, Xiulote was stunned for a moment, turning to his gentle wife with a burst of laughter.
"Ha ha! Alisa, little Xiu Hua, he really is…
"Xiulote! You're not allowed to speak!…
At this moment, Alisa's face bore no smile. She furrowed her brows, nimbly reached out her hand, and grabbed the back collar of her son's shirt. Then, puffing with anger, she pulled and lifted her clever son into her embrace. With her other hand, she unreservedly pinched the tender little face.
Then, her two fair and lovely fingers twisted tightly together. Xiulote shivered, instinctively closing his legs, hearing a small, tender cry.
"Ah! Tidan, run quickly!… Ah! Mother, I was wrong!… Ah! Father, come save me!… Mother, she listens to you the most!… Ah ah!…
"This? Alisa, you… He's just a child, why not…
"Xiulote, I'm educating the child, you're not allowed to speak! This child, he looks innocent, but he's incredibly clever inside!…
Xiulote blinked, looking at his son crying and tearing up, wanting to reach out but hesitating as he looked at his wife. He could not understand why his usually gentle Alisa was so harsh when it came to their son. Yet, Alisa was unyielding in her actions, twisting and turning his face several times before suddenly releasing her fingers. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Ah ah! Great Uncle, my dear great uncle! Save your good great-grandson!… Ah ah! Father, save me… Hmm?!…
Little Xiu Hua, eyes closed, pretending to be in pain, shedding tears, called out continuously several times before realizing that his mother had already let go. He immediately opened one eye, then cautiously opened the other. His large black eyes looked at his mother's furrowed expression, then at his father's stunned face and his amused great uncle… Moments later, little Xiu Hua, wiping away his tears with embarrassment, awkwardly smiled.
"Ah! Father… Hmm, you know, pain is that… that punishment from the divine to mortals, meant to be remembered!… Hmm, Mother is… she's the divine's daughter! So, even a light pinch from her makes me hurt for a long time and remember the pain…
"What? You asked where it hurts?… Hmm, my face is red, but it doesn't really hurt! But I upset Mother, she's hurt… She shares divinity with me, so naturally, my heart aches too!…
"Ah! Ah this?!… Is this my precocious son?…
Hearing little Xiu Hua's justified explanation, Xiulote was dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at his wife Alisa.
Alisa stomped her foot in exasperation, giving Xiulote a sharp glance. Then, she reached out and pinched his cheek, slightly loosening her grip, and resentfully complained.
"Xiulote, it's all your fault! It's all the divinity you left in me!… This clever little rascal is just as cunning as you were as a child… No! He's even more cunning than you, and he's only five, already holding girls' hands and winning their hearts!… He will definitely be, just like you in the future, a mischievous little monkey who's hard to control!…
