#270 - Chapter 270 I am your master, not your father
Ye Kong walked through the green grass, all the way to the center, watching the Emperor Daughter who was about to transform.
"I came too early."
Originally, Ye Kong's plan was to wait until the Saintess Fruit was about to transform.
But he still came too early and had to wait a while.
The Earth Mother pondered for a long time, then looked up at Ye Kong and said, "Ye Kong, can you take me to the Desolate Forbidden Land? I want to see Hong's tomb."
"Can't you go by yourself?" Ye Kong asked, looking at her.
The Earth Mother pondered, "If I go, I will be besieged and killed by divine beasts and ferocious beasts."
"Serves you right!" Ye Kong said unhappily.
Who told you to eat so many divine beasts and ferocious beasts? Don't you know to take with moderation?
Besides, why do I feel like Hong did it to prevent you?
A group of divine beasts and ferocious beasts guarding his tomb, maybe there's another meaning, which is to prevent the Earth Mother from going.
Just like Qing's Myriad Demon Hall, it's to prevent the Earth Mother.
"Just take me there," the Earth Mother said, looking at Ye Kong with a pitiful expression.
"I won't take you. Who knows if you'll dig up Hong's tomb if I take you in?" Ye Kong refused decisively.
"If you don't take me, I'll go myself!" the Earth Mother said angrily.
"Yes, go yourself," Ye Kong said without hesitation.
The Earth Mother instantly wilted upon hearing this.
If she really dared to go by herself, she wouldn't have begged Ye Kong to take her.
"If I die inside, the entire cultivation world will be unlucky. The earth will crack, mountain floods will erupt, and the world will be turned upside down!" the Earth Mother said again.
"What does that have to do with me?" Ye Kong spread his hands directly.
Even if the world turns upside down, mountain floods erupt, and the earth cracks, he can still guarantee that his Star River Sect will be safe and sound.
He can even secretly absorb a few mouthfuls of spiritual power to avoid wasting it.
"What do you want in exchange for taking me to the Desolate Forbidden Land?" the Earth Mother asked weakly.
"I won't take you," Ye Kong refused directly.
Ye Kong knew without thinking that he would definitely regret taking the Earth Mother to the Desolate Forbidden Land.
The Earth Mother pouted and looked at Ye Kong, but Ye Kong just ignored her.
While the two were talking, the green grass dispersed, revealing the fruit in the middle.
Inside the fruit was a beautiful figure, gradually taking shape.
At the same time, all the surrounding green grass bent down, paying homage to the Emperor Daughter.
"My disciple is about to come out, I won't talk to you anymore," Ye Kong said, looking at the Emperor Daughter who was about to take shape, not wanting to talk to the Earth Mother anymore.
The Earth Mother glanced at the fruit, not very interested.
She originally came for the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, but she couldn't get it, so she had to give up and follow Ye Kong to the backyard.
From Qing Jun's words, she learned that the Azure Emperor would return.
She was thinking that if the Azure Emperor would return, what about Hong?
She wanted to go to the Desolate Forbidden Land to see if Hong had any life aura or remaining last words.
But Ye Kong wouldn't take her.
Ye Kong knew the Earth Mother's thoughts, but he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
The Emperor Daughter on the green grass quickly transformed, and the green leaves surrounding her also wrapped her up.
After a long time,
the green leaves disappeared, turning into a long dress, and the Saintess Fruit completely transformed into a girl.
She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a delicate and lovely appearance, round eyes slightly closed, like a porcelain doll.
She wore a cyan-green long dress, and her arms were as white as mutton-fat jade.
After a moment,
the Emperor Daughter slowly opened her watery eyes, looking at Ye Kong and the Earth Mother in front of her.
"Father, Mother!" the Emperor Daughter shouted with a smile, throwing herself onto Ye Kong.
She regarded Ye Kong and the Earth Mother, whom she saw when she opened her eyes, as her parents.
"I'm not your father, I'm your master," Ye Kong said with a chuckle.
"Master?" the Emperor Daughter said suspiciously.
"Yes, your father is someone else. He didn't come, and he can't come. I'm here to take you away," Ye Kong nodded.
"Then what about her?" the Emperor Daughter pointed to the Earth Mother.
"Her, ah, she is an old monster who has lived for countless years," Ye Kong said.
"You're the old monster! I'm a beautiful young girl!" the Earth Mother said unhappily.
"Then you're still old," Ye Kong said.
"You…" the Earth Mother was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
The Emperor Daughter looked at Ye Kong and the Earth Mother, her small eyes filled with great doubts.
She is now like a blank sheet of paper, without any rendering, and knows nothing about everything.
However, she was very close to Ye Kong, so she believed whatever Ye Kong said.
"Let me give you a name," Ye Kong said, looking at the Emperor Daughter.
"Okay," the Emperor Daughter nodded.
"You take my surname, and call… Ye Qingjun!" Ye Kong said.
"Okay," the Emperor Daughter nodded with a smile, gladly accepting the name.
The surrounding green grass originally wanted to object to Ye Kong's naming, but after hearing the name, they did not object.
They also liked the name Qingjun very much, and it also matched the identity of the Emperor Daughter.
As for the surname, in their opinion, it was optional.
"Master, what about my father?" Ye Qingjun asked.
"Your father, ah, he's still recovering. When she wakes up, she will come to find you," Ye Kong said.
"Oh," Ye Qingjun said, taking Ye Kong's hand.
Ye Kong took her hand and walked out slowly.
From a distance, Ye Kong and Ye Qingjun were truly like father and daughter.
The Earth Mother followed behind with a pout. She was ignored again.
The surrounding green grass did not make way, but instead spread on the ground, allowing Ye Qingjun to step on them to pass.
"Take good care of the Emperor Daughter!" the green grass said, expressing their final request to Ye Kong.
"Yes, I will, and may you also transform soon," Ye Kong nodded slightly.
"When the Azure Emperor returns, it will be the day we transform!" the green grass said.
Ye Kong nodded and didn't say much, taking Ye Qingjun out of the backyard and walking straight to the main hall.
"Look, the one who used to sit on that above is your father," Ye Kong said, pointing to the throne directly above the main hall.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingjun gradually walked over. The formation protection in the main hall had no effect on her.
The Earth Mother's eyes were straightened. If Ye Kong wasn't by her side, the Earth Mother would definitely have tried to bewitch Ye Qingjun to take the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.
That was something she had coveted for a long time.
Ye Qingjun walked all the way to the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, reached out and poked it, and asked, "Master, can I pour some water on this soil?"
"You can," Ye Kong nodded.
Upon hearing her master's agreement, Ye Qingjun immediately took a small bottle from the side and went to the pond outside to fill it with some water.
Then she ran back and sprinkled a little water on the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil to moisten the soil.
Ye Qingjun felt that there was a seed inside, so she wanted to pour water on the seed.
After finishing, she came down from the throne.
"Qingjun, that soil is a good thing, do you want to take some back?" the Earth Mother couldn't help but bewitch her.
"There is a seed buried inside, I can't take it. If I take it, the seed will die," Ye Qingjun shook her head.
The Earth Mother was shocked when she heard this.
No wonder you're guarding against me so much, it turns out that the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil is the key to the Azure Emperor's revival!
The Earth Mother understood and completely dismissed the idea.
"Let's go," Ye Kong said with a smile, taking Ye Qingjun away.
After they left, a tender sprout slowly emerged from the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.
