#221 - Chapter 221 Staying in Xiaoyao Peak as a Maid
“Involved with karma?” Ye Kong asked, looking puzzled.
“Yes.” The Earth Mother nodded slightly and then said nothing more.
This left Ye Kong feeling helpless. The Earth Mother answered only what was asked, and wouldn't say anything if not prompted.
“Tell me his story from the beginning, and don’t just answer one question at a time,” Ye Kong said, annoyed.
Upon hearing this, the Earth Mother continued, “The so-called ‘born of heaven and earth’ doesn’t mean born from the interaction of heaven and earth, but rather from the fusion of the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, giving birth to a spiritual being, which could be a person or a demon.”
“But Ye Xiaoyao is different. He is very special. He grew up absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, like a baby.”
“But he has a past life.”
The Earth Mother explained.
Having lived for a long time and being the spirit of the earth, she knew many secrets and things that others didn't.
The mortal realm's misunderstanding of them was too great.
Heaven is heaven, and earth is earth, completely unrelated.
“You’ve eaten the fish, so hurry up and leave. My Xiaoyao Peak has no place for you to stay.”
Ye Kong said, looking at the Earth Mother, then walked out of Xiaoyao Pavilion with his hands behind his back.
He went to the Bitter Sea, sat under the willow tree, and picked up his fishing rod.
The daily fishing task couldn't be stopped.
Little White had taken Ye Kong’s demonic energy sphere to cultivate, otherwise, he would definitely be lazing around by the Bitter Sea at this moment.
The Earth Mother sat in Xiaoyao Pavilion for a long time before following Ye Xiaoyao and Mu Qianqian out.
“Xiaoyao, Qianqian, go back and cultivate first,” Ye Kong said, looking up at Ye Xiaoyao and Mu Qianqian.
“Yes!” the two cupped their hands and turned to leave.
The Earth Mother looked around the Bitter Sea and clicked her tongue in wonder, saying, “Your Bitter Sea is not simple either.”
“And the fishing rod and this willow tree seem to have some kind of Dao rhythm.”
The Earth Mother walked to the willow tree and reached out to pick a branch.
As a result, as soon as she touched the willow tree, her hands, feet, and body were instantly bound by the willow tree and sent in front of Ye Kong.
“Aren’t you stupid? You saw that the willow tree wasn’t simple, yet you still had to touch it,” Ye Kong glanced at the Earth Mother.
“How would I know that this willow tree is so strong!” the Earth Mother pouted.
She could see that the willow tree had Dao rhythm, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful.
It could easily bind her, and she couldn't break free.
She was the Earth Mother, the spirit of the earth, and now she couldn't even break free from the willow tree’s bindings. Who would believe it if she said that?
Bound by the willow tree, the Earth Mother’s even more perfect body was highlighted.
However, Ye Kong had no intention of admiring it. He tapped the willow tree, and the willow tree instantly released the Earth Mother.
The Earth Mother squatted on the side, not daring to approach the willow tree anymore.
“Are you leaving on your own, or should I send you off?” Ye Kong asked softly.
The Earth Mother had originally wanted to leave, but she had now changed her mind.
“How about I stay here with you for a while?” the Earth Mother asked weakly.
Although her small cave was safe, it was just her alone, which was very boring.
Every day, she was either sleeping or in closed-door cultivation.
Coming to Ye Kong’s place, she finally felt what it meant to be alive, what it meant to live.
“I don’t have any extra houses for you to live in here, and I won’t take you in either,” Ye Kong said disdainfully.
If the Earth Mother didn't have strength, he might have taken her in as a disciple.
But the Earth Mother was very strong, and besides him, who else could suppress her?
“Take me in? I, the dignified spirit of the earth, would never look for a Dao partner,” the Earth Mother said, placing her hands on her hips.
“Of course, if it were you, I wouldn’t be able to resist,” the Earth Mother added.
Ye Kong: … …
“I mean take you as a disciple, not take you as a bed warmer,” Ye Kong said, annoyed.
The Earth Mother instantly understood, lowered her head, and said, “I’ll just stay for a while. I can help you, and if I stay, I’ll build my own house.”
“Help me with what?”
“Help you take care of disciples, help you fish, help you eat, helping you warm the bed is no problem.” The Earth Mother said with a smile.
Ye Kong turned his head to look at the Earth Mother and continued fishing.
Letting the Earth Mother stay on his Xiaoyao Peak wasn't really impossible.
The Earth Mother wasn't like the Heavenly Duke, who only thought about ruling the world.
The Earth Mother's mind was simple, she knew many secrets, and she was always staying in her small cave, so her brain wasn't very good.
If he left her behind, he could have her help him teach his disciples cultivation.
With the Earth Mother’s abilities, teaching his disciples would definitely be no problem.
The only thing Ye Kong was worried about was that the Earth Mother was too strong, and no one could suppress her.
In case Little White or someone else provoked the Earth Mother, and he happened to be away, it would be troublesome.
The Earth Mother saw Ye Kong’s concerns and continued, “I’ll stay on your Xiaoyao Peak as your maidservant. I definitely won’t mess around. You can seal my cultivation.”
Upon hearing this, the last bit of worry in Ye Kong’s heart disappeared.
He just couldn't understand why the Earth Mother was so willing to stay on Xiaoyao Peak.
“What exactly do you want to do by staying on my Xiaoyao Peak?” Ye Kong asked.
“Eat fish.” The Earth Mother said directly.
Ye Kong was expressionless. Did she think he was stupid?
Eat fish? If you wanted to eat fish, you could just steal it from underground. Did you need to stay as a maidservant?
“Forget it, I don’t care what you want to do, as long as you don’t mess around.”
“If you dare to harm my disciples, or attack the people of the Star River Sect…”
Before Ye Kong could finish speaking, the Earth Mother hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Kong continued, “I’ll seal two-thirds of your cultivation, leaving one-third for you to use.”
“Also, if you want to take action, you must have my permission!”
“Okay.” The Earth Mother agreed immediately.
Seeing how readily the Earth Mother agreed, Ye Kong didn't say much more and pointed in the direction of Peach Mountain.
“Go to Peach Mountain and choose a place to build a house to live in.”
Seeing this, the Earth Mother asked, “Can’t I live with you?”
“No, men and women shouldn’t be too close.” Ye Kong refused outright.
“But, we strong individuals, how could we care about the distinction between men and women?” The Earth Mother continued.
Ye Kong looked at the Earth Mother with a dark face and pointed in the direction of Peach Mountain, saying, “Either you go to Peach Mountain and build your own house, or you go back to your small cave.”
Upon hearing this, the Earth Mother pouted and walked towards Peach Mountain.
She found a place on Peach Mountain and manipulated it with the power of nature. The ground instantly changed, turning into a very beautiful house.
It was built with stones and clods of earth, and decorated with peach blossoms on the outside.
Inside, it was even more filled with peach blossoms.
As long as she wanted, she could build a house with a single thought.
And her building her own house also caused a bit of a stir.
Lin Yaoyao and the others, who were cultivating, walked out of their houses to watch.
