This Human Immortal Is Too Serious-Chapter 380 - 378: A First Kiss Cherished Through Four Eras of the Gods

Chapter 380: Chapter 378: A First Kiss Cherished Through Four Eras of the Gods

A moment ago, Wu Wang had been holding a meeting with the future chief officer of the God of Spring’s Divine World. In the treehouse of the Young Master’s Divine Realm, that sacred place usually forbidden to any follower, the question and answer session had gone on for about an hour.

Liu Guang did what he said he would do, and asked the Young Master all those questions Wu Wang had told him, word for word.

The giant tree where the treehouse was located was filled with Soldiers on every branch, and below were beings of the Hundred Races who had heard of the Young Master’s presence and had come to pay their respects.

They weren’t there for anything else. They simply wished for sons and grandchildren, a legacy of many descendants.

Inside the treehouse, the God of Flowing Light thoughtfully nodded and murmured to himself,

He really didn’t deceive me at all.

The Young Master smiled without speaking, watching Nu Chou in the corner trying to put Xiao Ming to sleep.

A Barrier covered the area, ensuring that Xiao Ming’s rest wouldn’t be disturbed.

The Young Master asked, "Is there anything else you want to question?"

The God of Flowing Light shook his head slightly, gazing down at his hands with a hint of confusion in his eyes, and whispered, "Sister, I am somewhat at a loss."

"Wouldn’t addressing me as ’I’ be more pleasing to the ear?"

"I... I’m at a loss as to what to do next. I thought I would fade from this slumber in peace, leaving without any regrets."

The God of Flowing Light murmured softly,

"My era has come to an end, and all my companions from those days have perished.

Sister, if the end of a Divine Spirit is to sleep with the Dao, then why... why do I still feel discontent?"

The Young Master looked at him with indelible warmth in her eyes, and said softly, "Is it because you have not been able to kill the Candle Dragon?"

"Perhaps."

Liu Guang gave a bitter laugh and said quietly,

"I can no longer tell who my enemy is. I always feel that every Divine Spirit seems to want to use me, to have me do something.

At first, they told me that I carried the bloodline of the Divine King, that I could defeat all Strong gods, so I fought.

Later, they told me that my father was devoured by the Candle Dragon, so I fought the Candle Dragon with my father’s sword.

In the end, they told me I should be discontent with Emperor Shun taking the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, so I expressed my discontent, and then they disappeared.

What is all this for? I just want to become a beam of light soaring in the sky. I just wish to..."

While continuing to murmur, the God of Flowing Light covered his head with his hand, his body curling in apparent pain.

In the corner, Nu Chou turned her body to block the scene, preventing Xiao Ming from seeing what was happening.

The Young Master sighed softly, still sitting by the window, her finger releasing a stream of pale green light that entered Liu Guang’s forehead.

Sobbing sounds emerged within the treehouse.

It didn’t take long for Liu Guang to calm his emotions. He looked up at the Young Master, who was sitting about ten feet away, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, does Wu Wangzi care about you?"

"HMM?"

The Young Master asked softly, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Sister, you are the Goddess of Reproduction; you should understand these things," said Liu Guang. "I’ve noticed that nowadays, the blending of Yin and Yang, the union of Heaven and Earth, has become the mainstream."

He suddenly laughed gently and asked with a tender voice, "Do you ever feel lonely, Sister?"

"Lonely?"

The Young Master thought for a moment. "I always find observing living beings quite interesting. Even without entering long slumbers, it poses no burden to me, so I don’t feel lonely."

The God of Flowing Light was taken aback, then counter-asked, "Then why would Sister choose a living being as a companion?"

"There’s no such thing as choosing a companion!"

The Young Master’s cheeks flushed, but she quickly returned to her usual demeanor, calmly explaining,

"I get along well with him, so we seem closer.

If you mean choosing a companion, it’s something that should be considered carefully, and besides... the companions of living beings need to, need to do this and that, which I still find somewhat unacceptable."

"WHAT?" Liu Guang’s eyes reflected pure innocence.

"The process of Reproduction."

The Young Master replied very seriously.

As long as my demeanor is sufficiently dignified, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about!

"I see," Liu Guang nodded lightly, then asked, "So, will Sister become his consort?"

The Young Master thought carefully, her lips slightly parting to respond, but several figures flashed through her mind.

These were the figures that had appeared beside Wu Wang back when she and Wu Wangzi were still adversaries.

There was the Fairy Immortal in white as snow, the playful girl in green, and the tender and thoughtful Maidens.

For some reason, the Young Master felt an unusual taste in her heart and said in a low voice, "I don’t know, we’ll see what happens in the future... Won’t you go meet my brother? Let me lift the prohibition for you."

Liu Guang nodded and took his leave, burdened with heavy thoughts, turning into a golden light and vanishing into the night sky.

The Young Master, however, began to wonder what was wrong with her, sitting there and pondering, but she could not figure it out.

Until a soft palm gently rested on the shoulder of the Young Master.

"Is something troubling you, Young Master?"

Nu Chou smiled with narrow eyes, fetched a wooden stool, and sat next to the Young Master.

In a corner, the little one had already entered sweet dreams.

The Young Master shook her head slightly, speaking softly, "I don’t know what it is, but I’m suddenly feeling a bit distressed. Perhaps it’s because I haven’t been out and about much lately. I should go out for a walk."

"Let me guess," Nu Chou pinched her chin and hummed softly. "The Young Master is a mighty God of the Heaven Palace; it wouldn’t be likely for you to be troubled by romantic concerns... right?"

The Young Master smiled, "Is that impossible?"

Nu Chou smiled with her eyes squinted. "But didn’t the God of Flowing Light just get you tongue-tied? Thinking about those flower-like beauties beside Wu Wangzi."

The Young Master struggled with her gaze for a while before finally nodding in agreement.

"HMM."

"OH DEAR, what to do about this?"

"Nu Chou, don’t you tease me now."

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Nu Chou’s laughter was so vibrant it seemed to shake the flowers, utterly enchanting.

She said, "Actually, if this were a problem for mortal beings, then naturally it would be problematic. But for a Divine Spirit, it isn’t much of an issue, since we don’t really concern ourselves with the concept of fidelity, do we?"

"That’s absolutely not okay," the Young Master said quite seriously. "If you seek a partner, you should stay true from beginning to end."

"But he is destined to not be able to stay true to you alone."

Nu Chou said softly:

"Although he’s not exactly a womanizing playboy, he has had companions in the Human Domain before, like Fairy Ling with her deep and tender affections, a tale that’s widely known throughout the Heaven Palace.

And then there’s the daughter of the Human Emperor."

The Young Master pursed her lips slightly and muttered, "He is him, and I am me."

"Then you’re at a loss," Nu Chou shook her head. "I don’t want to meddle too much in these affairs, but you, Young Master, could consider two things.

The first is the limited Lifespan of mortal beings.

The second, whether they are Cultivators or Divine Spirits, all must undergo cultivation retreats or prolonged slumber and may not always be together.

You just need to ensure that he has only one Divine Spirit as a companion, and in the end, you still might achieve fidelity."

The Young Master scolded, "How could you curse someone with such ill fate?"

"I am only stating the facts."

"Let’s not talk about this anymore; those Fairy Immortals are all immortal, eternal and ageless."

The Young Master whispered her blessings, then adjusted her mood and smiled. "Being with him is joyful, and that’s enough for me. As for the future..."

Nu Chou shook her head. "That’s evasion."

"But we haven’t actually decided to become partners yet."

"This matter requires advance planning and preparation," Nu Chou extended her right hand and slowly clenched it into a fist. "Wu Wang is a good man, someone worthy of trust, both a mortal and a Divine Spirit, a unique presence between Heaven and Earth.

If it were up to me, you should grab hold of him now, just like the esteemed Xihe; we should aim for this!"

"A fist?"

"It’s big sister, not a fist!"

"Nonsense!" The Young Master spat lightly, and reached to tickle Nu Chou’s armpit, sending the latter into continuous peals of laughter.

For a moment, the entire treehouse was filled with laughter.

Perhaps it was a moment of intimate joy, yet unseen by any.

...

General Xiong San led his troop’s arrival, and Wu Wang’s planning for the Divine Realm was finally set into full motion.

Although this period of time meant little in the eyes of an Innate God, driven by the concerns in his heart, Wu Wang always hoped to free himself from his own constraints sooner rather than later.

Seeing Xiong San made Wu Wang think of his elder brother, the flamboyant Young Master of the Big Wave Tribe who would become the future War God without a neck, Xing Tian.

Brother Xing Tian had previously taken his master and martial uncles back to Northern Wilderness to train this group of Star Gods and Divine Generals.

Due to Xing Tian’s sensitive identity, it was not suitable for him to come to the Heaven Palace, and he remained in the Northern Wilderness...

Of course, the Young Master of the Big Wave Tribe couldn’t possibly be there for a mere blessing from the Star Gods. It was a deep fondness for his homeland that came from his heart.

If Xing Tian were to come to the Heaven Palace, it would be substantial evidence of cooperation between Northern Wilderness and the Human Domain, putting Northern Wilderness in a vulnerable position and offering the Heaven Palace the perfect pretext to strike at any moment.

Is Wu Wang, like Xing Tian, a Young Master of Northern Wilderness cultivating in the Human Domain?

The Heavenly Emperor, Emperor Shun, has already made it clear that the God of Spring is merely exploring ways for mortal beings and the Heaven Palace to coexist in harmony.

After all, not every Young Master of a Large Family Clan’s mother is the Ancient Ice God...

In the Young Master’s Divine Realm, surrounded by young Maidens bowing and worshiping in the treehouse.

Guided by the Divine Guard, Wu Wang arrived at this place, and thus entered the sole dwelling of the Young Master in the lower realm, under the watchful eyes of the Divine Realm’s beings.

Liu Guang was nowhere to be seen.

Nu Chou was sipping tea in the corner, while some little one was fast asleep in the Barrier. The Young Master turned away from the window, a smile playing on her lips as she watched Wu Wang.

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Wang asked, puzzled.

"Just thinking of some happy things," she replied softly, her large eyes sparkling brightly.

Nu Chou gave a snort of laughter and turned to face the corner, signaling the two that there was no need to mind her.

The Young Master made a "let’s slip away" gesture to Wu Wang, who before he could react, detected a faint surge of Divine Power around the Young Master.

Then, the two of them transformed into firefly-like specks of light that drifted through the cracks of the treehouse, dancing gracefully with the night breeze.

This feeling was indeed quite marvelous.

Before long, they came to rest on the branch of a giant tree at the edge of the Divine Realm and reverted back to human form.

The Young Master seemed to be in particularly high spirits. Her black skirt melded with the night as she strolled along the narrow branch, her skin appearing even more crystalline against the darkness.

Grasping her intent, Wu Wang pulled out several Treasure Sacks and sent them hovering towards her with his Divine Power.

"HMM..."

The Young Master hummed hesitantly, "It doesn’t seem quite proper to always be eating your food."

Wu Wang shrugged. "You’ve instructed the couples in Northern Wilderness who want children to have more. We still owe you a favor for that."

"Who’s old?"

The Young Master snatched the Treasure Sacks Wu Wang handed over and, after a glance, burst into an embarrassed giggle, humming and hawing for a while before finally declaring with full confidence, "Well then, this Goddess shall bestow a wondrous blessing upon the beings of Northern Wilderness."

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

Wu Wang laughed heartily, slowly taking a seat at the edge of the branch, letting out a gentle sigh.

Ah, this Goddess is truly adorable.

"How are your injuries? Are you feeling better?"

The Young Master asked quietly.

She carefully stored the Treasure Sacks and, without hurrying to savor the treats within, lightly stepped over to sit beside Wu Wang, swinging her legs back and forth.

"Didn’t you say you were going to meet the clan members coming from Northern Wilderness? Why are you back so soon?"

"They need rest too. They hardly sleep well with me around," Wu Wang replied with a smile. "Moreover, I’m just in charge of giving orders. After delegating the tasks, I let them take the initiative."

"Knowing how to employ the right people and trusting them to do their jobs is an essential lesson for a Young Master."

"HMM—Sounds pretty profound."

The Young Master blinked gently, her eyes almost seemed to speak.

Wu Wang really wanted to pinch her nose but refrained, both because they were about two feet apart and because he was clearly aware of the limits of their closeness.

For some reason, the Young Master appeared a bit odd tonight, her gaze flickering and elusive.

Wu Wang initiated a conversation, recalling his past experiences in Northern Wilderness.

The Young Master seemed to drift away in thought, unintentionally staring off into the distance.

Wu Wang paused and chuckled, "Is something on your mind? By the way, where is the God of Flowing Light?"

"Oh, he’s gone to see my brother," the Young Master laughed. "The two of them have the best relationship. They used to leave me out of their games in the old days."

"Having childhood friends must be nice."

"What about you?"

The Young Master suddenly asked, "I’ve heard that you might have a childhood sweetheart?"

It suddenly felt like fate had seized me by the throat.

"Childhood sweetheart might not be the term," Wu Wang leaned back relaxedly, propping his hands on the branch as he spoke, "but I do have two cultivator companions in the Human Domain."

The Young Master whispered, "Cultivator companions, does that mean spouses?"

"It’s equivalent."

"So, for cultivator companions in the Human Domain, is it the same as spouses?"

The Young Master asked curiously and eagerly, "Every evening, do they have to strive hard at home for the sake of Reproduction?"

"Well, it’s more or less like that,"

Wu Wang replied with a twinkling smile, his mind weaving through the memories of his time in the Human Domain, his gaze turning distant.

"Talking about these things, you probably wouldn’t understand. Beings who love and adore each other gradually fall into love’s snare, then get married, have children, and continue the family lineage."

The Young Master retorted discontentedly, "Why wouldn’t I understand? I am the Reproduction Goddess, after all. Aren’t all those steps for the purpose of Reproduction?"

"True," Wu Wang gave a thumb’s up. "Young Master is well-informed and knowledgeable. There’s so much you know."

"Of course," the Young Master smiled proudly, then asked softly, "Do you mind that I’m bringing up these topics all of a sudden?"

Truth be told, Wu Wang was a bit confused now.

He could sense that the Young Master had some troubles with her mood, and brought up this topic seemingly to prove something or express something to himself.

A woman’s heart is like a needle in the ocean, let alone the heart of a Goddess.

Wu Wang could only await with his greatest sincerity for the Young Master’s accusation of him being a "fickle lover."

The branch fell silent all of a sudden, and the atmosphere became a bit delicate.

"AH..."

The Young Master broke the awkwardness, which also left Wu Wang somewhat at a loss.

"HMM?"

"What are couples supposed to do in the Human Domain under these circumstances?"

She realized her words were somewhat explicit and added, "I’m just curious. You can consider this a serious matter related to Reproduction, discussed by the Reproduction Goddess.

Yes, just like that."

"They would probably hold hands or something."

"Then... I want to experience that."

A tender hand reached out towards Wu Wang, catching him off guard.

Without hesitation, he reached out to take the jade-like hand before him, and somehow, it turned into a very formal handshake.

"Like this?"

The Young Master shook their joined hands up and down, quietly asking, "Do you feel anything different?"

Wu Wang honestly shook his head.

The Young Master wondered silently, Strange, how is this different from what Nu Chou said?

Wu Wang suddenly laughed, "You want to experience that feeling?"

"MM... Yes!"

Wu Wang took a bold step, his hand suddenly tightening its grip.

The Young Master, utterly unprepared and without any defense, softly fell towards Wu Wang’s embrace, and her right hand, held by the other, was conveniently moved in front.

Resting on the somewhat firm arm, her vision blurred; she inexplicably heard two interweaving heartbeats like chaotic drums.

"Do you feel it now?"

Wu Wang asked in a low voice.

She nodded, her pretty face flushed with red, yet shook her head again ever so slightly.

Wu Wang’s arm lifted slightly as he slowly leaned towards the beautiful, slightly flustered face.

The Young Master instinctively closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling gently...

The East Sky began to brighten with dawn, and although the birds should have been chirping, their sounds seemed to have disappeared.

「Meanwhile, deep within the Heaven Palace, in the chambers of the Head Manager.」

The God of Flowing Light enjoyed a pleasant conversation with the Head Manager, and before they could snap out of their old stories, the God of Flowing Light asked the Head Manager about Wu Wangzi.

The Head Manager closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Although that person is annoying, he does have some skills."

"He and Young Master..."

"Hmph, they’re just friends."

The Head Manager casually brushed the tabletop; the mist swirling and vague imagery beginning to appear.

He continued speaking:

"Your Young Master sister, indulging in a whim, bonded with mortals to satisfy her inner desire to be close to living beings. It’s somehow hypocritical.

She is an Innate God, after all, and will walk the same path as us. Mortals are just the meteors of the sky.

Once your Young Master sister feels Wu Wangzi is nothing out of the ordinary, she will distance herself from him.

Don’t worry, they just—"

The surface of the table revealed the situation somewhere in the Young Master’s Divine Realm.

In the morning light, atop a great tree branch, the Divine Spirit nestled in the arms of a mortal—that!

BANG!

The tabletop exploded, and the Head Manager covered the God of Flowing Light’s eyes with his hand, his complexion pale.

"Nothing happened! They didn’t do anything!"

"Didn’t they almost kiss? Is this really just a simple friendship?"

The God of Flowing Light asked, bewildered.

The Head Manager clenched his fists and shouted, punching through the air, "They, did nothing!"

The God of Flowing Light tilted his head, watching as the Head Manager pulled out a pair of brass hammers from his sleeve and began hammering furiously by the window.

CRACK!

Streaks of lightning streaked across the sky, waking the two who were immersed in each other’s kiss, crowning the day as the most unique dawn chorus in the Emperor’s City for a millennium.
