The Way of The Dao

Chapter 844 Soul Memories [V]

"Big brother! Big brother! Guess what! My dad got the Heavenly Rebirth Herb!"

"Yes, elder brother! My dad is already in the alchemy room refining it into a pill for you to ingest!"

"Really? I remember my dad saying that this herb is very hard to find and that in thousands of years none have been seen! Although I am no longer sure if this pill can really cure me I still hope that I have some chance, but I thank you very much for this, Sister Yaoyao, Sister Zhuzhu!"

"Hehe! I just want you to be able to cultivate like us too, big brother! That way we can all go on adventures once we're older!"

"Yeah! Besides, remember you promised me that you would be my partner of alchemy and together we'll be the greatest alchemists in the universe!"

"Of course not, sister! My big brother Tiantian said that we would go find the spiritual land of Xuexue and be able to see the beautiful and majestic phoenix birds and the mighty ancient dragons!"

"Hmph! That will be after we are the best alchemists in the world!"

"No! We'll go to Xuexue's home first!"

"I-It's alright! Calm down, don't fight, I promise we'll do both, no matter what order it's in, but I promise we'll fulfill all our dreams and plans we've said! But seriously I thank you for always being there for me and not abandoning me, really thank you very much..."

"We will always be all together, big brother!"

"Yes! It's the pinky finger promise, remember that!"

"Hehe, I could never forget it... always together, forever and ever."

"Brother..."

"Oh! Mengmeng! What's wrong, why aren't you happy?"

"I-I... I don't want you to take that pill..."

"But, elder sister, that pill might be the opportunity for our elder brother to cultivate!"

"If big brother can cultivate then the four of us can go on trips and adventures as we have planned! And finally none of us will have any worries!"

"It's just that..."

"Uhm? What's wrong, Sister Mengmeng? Why don't you want me to take that pill?"

"Because I don't want you to suffer again and have something bad happen to you! The previous time your body was almost destroyed and you didn't wake up for more than 6 months! If it wasn't because uncle reacted in time you could have turned into ashes! And this pill they will make is much more powerful than the previous ones... and... what if you never wake up again? What if your body can't resist the power of the pill this time? I don't want to!"

"Sister Mengmeng, I..."

"I don't want you to die! You are my most important person in my heart! And I... I don't know what I would do if you don't wake up anymore..."

"Elder Sister..."

"Big Sister Mengmeng..."

"I promise that if I feel I won't be able to bear it I'll ask for help... I won't do it just for me, but also for you three and everyone else..."

"I don't care! I don't want you to suffer again! It doesn't matter if you can't cultivate! I promise you that I will cultivate and become strong enough for the two of us so that no one will bother you or hurt you! I will become as strong as uncle, aunt and the others and then you won't have to worry about anything... I will protect you and be with you forever!"

"Mengmeng..."

"My Lord, the ruler of the Imperishable Turtle kingdom, wants us to officially grant part of our lands, specifically the star land if you don't want him to start a war against our palace."

"What did you answer him?"

"I told him that if they wanted to start the war against us we wouldn't be afraid..."

"Alright..."

"But, my lord, will it be alright? After all, rumor has it that that enemy kingdom is supported by one of the Celestial Deities..."

"You say there's probably some serious trouble?"

"No, my lord! It just strikes me as odd that a kingdom like that is backed by one of the Celestial Deities, and is looking for a big fight against us for some land... in what I've researched, that realm was never that prosperous until a few decades ago when rumor spread that a Celestial Deity was behind them and supporting them, growing both economically and powerfully."

"You noticed that too?"

"Yes! Although their current power is nothing compared to ours, there is still something that doesn't add up to me and creates concern."

"You are right, that kingdom I have also investigated and obtained various information about it, but my intuition tells me that there is something much more hidden, so the fight for the star lands is just a cover for something else."

"My lord, if you allow me, I will investigate this matter further, I will even mingle in the kingdom so that I can get information!"

"... all right! But if you encounter danger no matter how slight I want you to return immediately without a second thought, that is an order!"

"Understood, my lord!"

~~~~~~~

"My King..."

"My Queen, what is it?"

"My King... I too feel that something is wrong with that Imperishable Turtle kingdom, I feel that it's just a bait to lure you to come and fight. I even feel that more than one celestial god might be involved..."

"I know, my Queen, but despite that we have to keep moving forward, at some point we will have to face them all and fight so that we can finally live peacefully and in harmony for eternity... it might be very dangerous, but I swear that if I find danger I will not hesitate to retreat, but if you don't want us to proceed with this battle then I will surrender those lands without further ado."

"Mmhn, no, my King, you are very strong and I know that even those celestial deities would be no match for you even if they attacked you all together... but this time my intuition tells me that there is something very dangerous, and I don't want anything to happen to you... I don't want to lose you!"

"My Queen..."

"My King... b-before you go, c-could we try one more time? I've heard that the empress of one of the divine empires of our ancestral lands conceived her first child even after living for over 500 million years!"

"Really? I didn't know this information..."

"Yes! That's why even these past few years I've tried to suppress my power completely so that our chances of getting pregnant would increase even a little..."

"My Queen... it's okay! This job can wait a few more decades! Pleasing my beloved and great Queen will always be foremost in my heart!"

"My King... thank you!"

"Why are you thanking me, my Queen? On the contrary, it is I who should thank you because you will conceive our child and because you have not abandoned me after all this time even when we have not succeeded..."

"I could never abandon you, my King! You are my everything, my heaven, my whole life, without you my life will have no meaning and I could not live in a world if you are not there and, above all, because I really wish with all my heart to have your child, a child of our blood and soul!"

"My Queen... you make me feel so lucky and loved!"

"And you to me you make me the happiest woman, I feel so loved, so protected, so adored and special with your love... there is no room in my heart for any other man than you!"

"And neither will any woman be able to touch this heart that is yours alone! Well... if we have a little girl then she will occupy our hearts too!"

"Ehm! But I would also like to have a son who looks a lot like you, like his great and mighty father!"

"And if we try to have two children? If we can have a child, then we'll have a better chance with conceiving our second child!"

"Ehm! I wish to give you many children, my King! And may we have a great and loving family!"

"My Queen, I have discovered a particular piece of information that could increase the chances by even 1%!"

"Really? What is it, tell me, my King!"

"Hehe~ it's a new position we haven't experienced~"

"Ehm, hm, uhm? M-my K-King..."

"Hehe~ why are you blushing, my Queen? After all this time we've been together we know everything about each other."

"But in spite of that every time our bodies and souls come together I feel flutters like our first time... I feel myself becoming more and more crazy and filled with a great happiness every time you love me, my heart beating intensely every time I feel you, even I always carry you in my thoughts when you are not with me."

"My Queen, you really are my everything! I too must confess to you that I admire every inch of your skin, your hair, your eyes, your nose, your lips, your sensitive ears that I love... everything about you! I love you and I feel that my love for you increases every second, even when you are not there your image solidifies in my heart and I feel that I could not live without you."

"My Great King!"

"My Beloved Queen!"

"So what do you say, my beloved Queen? Do you want to try that position I'm telling you about~?"

"M-my King, in fact, I-I also did some research and one of my sisters told me that she found some information in our clan's ancient records about a time and a position that we can perform right after I refine the Essential Universal Creation Flower?so that the odds will increase..."

"Really? Then we must find that herb you mention about!"

"My King, i-in fact I-I already finished refining it in my body this morning..."

"Uhm? Then why didn't you tell me earlier, my Queen? Come on! Let's not waste any time so that the effectiveness doesn't decrease, and we have to start with the position you said~"

"E-ehm!"

"I hope the efficacy of that herb can last for at least a couple of decades!"

"M-my King..."
