Chapter 5.1 Wood Element Little Fairy (Part 1)
"Aunt Ling, I want to practice cultivation."
As soon as the words were spoken, Sang Yuanyuan's heart 'peng peng' thumped.
She has played too many mischievous demoness that brought upon disaster for countries, towards things like capturing the King, she truly had no interest at all.
But practicing cultivation is different!
In this world, one really truly can cultivate into immortals!
Cultivation! Never cultivated before! Want to cultivate so badly!
Just, her status......
From mortals into immortal, first enter into the Hidden Spirit Base with a total of nine layers within. As soon as a woman enters the Hidden Spirit Base, she will chop off the red dragon[1], which basically means that it is impossible to conceive and have children again. For a married woman that gave birth before, their stature and constitution will change. If their foundation is destroyed by half but wants to cultivate, it will be harder than to ascend to heaven.
Precisely because of this, there are only a meager number of female cultivators in the world.
Sang Yuanyuan naturally knew that as the daughter of a royal family, it would be a rebellious thing to have the desire in practicing cultivation. What's more, she had also married King Han and is now officially his main wife.
She pretended to look at Aunt Ling calmly, but she actually didn't hold up too much hope.
It's only normal to be rejected.
Not a problem. Will think of another way later.
Aunt Ling really was stunned. For a long time, a pair of, obviously, very young eyes but full of vicissitudes of life, suddenly pour out a large string of tears.
Sang Yuanyuan felt her blood froze.
This......What is this tears of the goddess of war counted as? The weeping of a ferocious tiger?
"Don't. Aunt Ling please don't cry."
"Princess, you have finally figured it out!" Aunt Ling howled louder.
Sang Yuanyuan："......"
"Since you were a child," Aunt Ling sobbed and said, " Lord and Crown Prince have often said that there is nothing good in getting married and no one in this world is worthy of our Little Mulberry! It's better to practice cultivation early and will never get bullied anywhere! If you really meet someone you like, you can take him in and be the live-in son-in-law, and can even accompany the Lord and Crown Prince to drink wine everyday......"
Sang Yuanyuan: "......Then, is Mother the one who does not agree? "
Aunt Ling said, "Madam has you and Crown Prince. She will naturally think that it's better to have children. But Madam is not highly against practicing cultivation. It was Princess you, who said that as the daughter of a royal bloodline, born as a Sang and died as a Sang. Marriage and children are the best way to form an alliance. How can you follow Lord's and Crown Prince's mischievousness? "
Sang Yuanyuan："......"
Aunt Ling sighed: "At that time, when King Han came to propose marriage, Lord, Madam and Crown Prince actually were not satisfied, because there was already a person in his palace. All the more, it was a very troublesome person from You state. However, Princess fell in love with King Han at the first sight, was determined to marry and no one could stop it. What a great result. He basically did not attentively take care of Princess! That matter regarding the assassination, needless to say, must have something to do with You Yingyue, isn't it? "
"Yes." Sang Yuanyuan had no intention to conceal it.
That assassination matter was still alright because Han Shaoling was really caught off guard badly, but when Sang Yuanyuan was unconscious and dying, he really treated her as if she's already dead and was not willing to even send one of his guards over——This is also a common feature of those black-bellied male leads. They never spend the time and energy on meaningless things.
Aunt Ling's eyes flashed a fierce look: "Lord and Crown Prince have already guessed that. The Sang state is now fully prepared for the war, just waiting for......Cough, in case something happens to you, Lord will send the troops! As long as we kill You Wuming, we can clean You Yingyue, this homeless cur, however we want."
[1] red dragon is a metaphor for female menstrual period.
Chapter 5.2 Wood Element Little Fairy (Part 2)
Sang Yuanyuan's heart suddenly jumped.
This incident is the cause of the annihilation of Sang state.
King Sang had chosen a time, which can be said as the best timing but at the same time also the worst timing, to fight against You Wuming——By the order of Heaven, You Wuming was to help King Han to calm down the evil scourge in the Western border.
King Sang and the Crown Prince led their army to cross the border illegally and launched a surprise attack towards You Wuming. It made him get attacked by enemies from the front and rear side, which nearly put him to death. Han Shaoling, who was traveling together with You Wuming, was also seriously injured.
To say that it was a good timing, was because You Wuming's cultivation is too high and afraid this is the only chance to kill him.
To say that it was a bad timing, was because in this way, Sang state's action is equivalent to treason.
If a war between two states causes a military disaster, Tiandu usually gives each of them fifty hits with big boards and then lets it slip. But You Wuming and Han Shaoling were sneak attacked when they were carrying out the order to wipe out the demons. This move of the Sang state was tantamount to pulling out Tiandu's reverse scale[1] and making enemies with the whole cloud realm.
A year later, Sang state completely disappeared from the cloud realm's map.
This incident is just a small episode that was skipped with only a few strokes in the book——its main purpose is to make Han Shaoling suffer an injury, which needed a person to take care of him personally thereafter. All the people that waited upon him could not satisfy him. Only the lively and straightforward Meng Wuyou that chattered in front of his bed from morning to night, which made Han Shaoling feel full of vitality within his illness(?).
Sang Yuanyuan felt her blood freeze: "Royal Father and Brother are also too impulsive! I'm going to contact them and tell them not to do anything foolish! "
Aunt Ling covered her lips and smiled: "Princess please calm down. You are awake, safe and sound. I'm afraid Lord and Crown Prince will be drunk for several days in a row. How can they even initiate a war?"
Sang Yuanyuan sighed softly: "Yes. Very fortunately. "
As if afraid of her repentance, Aunt Ling lifted her up from the cloud bed and said, "Then, this subordinate will now assist the Princess in awakening and washing the marrow."
Sang Yuanyuan："？"
For such a big matter, don't you need to ask the Sang state's side for a confirmation first? Don't you also need to consider Han Shaoling's opinions too?
Ling Gu walked to the outer hall in a few strides and gave the orders.
A short moment later, she supported Sang Yuanyuan and went straight to the side room. She neatly and quickly stripped Sang Yuanyuan's clothes and put her into a huge barrel.
"Now, Princess can't go back anymore on her own words." Aunt Ling smiled cunningly and said, "The Crown Prince has given a death order. Even if I have to resort to trickery, I have to trick Princess to use this Marrow Cleansing Liquid!"
Sang Yuanyuan: "......;" So, should I cooperate and perform my half-hearted refusing act for once?
Being immersed in the terribly white Marrow Cleansing Liquid, that taste is really uncomfortable.
There are five elements in the human body. Washing the marrow is to remove four of the attributes in the foundation, leaving only one pulse. Only by washing away the secondary attributes, can one sense the same spiritual essence that was contained between Heaven and Earth, absorb them into the body, and refine oneself.
At this moment, Sang Yuanyuan's body felt numb and painful, as if countless steel needles were pounding in her body.
Seeing that Sang Yuanyuan's small face turned ghastly pale, Aunt Ling immediately felt distressed.
"Princess, please be patient for a while more, wash out the attributes and then refine it, won't be as bad as trying to seize the world by yourself, right?"
Sang Yuanyuan shook her head.
Actually, it's still fine.
[1] Dragons have one scale growing in the opposite direction to all the others at their throat. If anyone would touch the reverse scale, the dragon is said to become very angry and kill the person immediately. The dragon's reverse scale had become a figurative expression of something you should not touch, and "touching the reverse scale" had come to mean "offending the emperor or a man in power".
Chapter 5.3 Wood Element Little Fairy (Part 3)
It's far from reaching the limit. This kind of feeling, in fact, is kind of similar to the feeling after being struck by thunder when she lay on the ground unconscious and waiting for death. After experiencing such a great terror, the torture at this moment becomes somewhat like a trifling matter.
Her pale face was just the instinctive reaction of her body, but her heart was actually very stable.
Aunt Ling put her hands in front of her time and again.
Sang Yuanyuan was at loss whether to cry or to laugh : "Aunt Ling! I'm not fainted. "
Aunt Ling stared at her for a long time, and suddenly realized and took a little bit of the Marrow Cleansing Liquid with her ring finger and put it in her mouth to taste it.
"...... Not yet spoiled? "
Sang Yuanyuan："......"
The surface of her skin began to ooze out impurities.
Humans consume both refined and coarse grains, in daily life the things that they are exposed to will more or less contain moisture and toxins, and while breathing they will also inhale dust. The older one is, the more tainted one's constitution is.
After the first layer of dirt was removed by the Marrow Cleansing Liquid, Sang Yuanyuan immediately felt clear-minded and clear-sighted, her vitality rose up to one hundred percent, as if she had gone back to her infancy's time.
And she also vaguely noticed a deep-leveled transformation.
Between her breath, the fragrance of grasses and trees becomes stronger and stronger, and an illusion suddenly appears before her eyes, seems like there are green light dots which look like fireflies that float around.
"Princess?" Aunt Ling worriedly called her from time to time.
She never saw a person that has so much endurance before.
Even those strong men outside who looked like black towers, would cry and howl when their tendons were washed and marrow were cut. However, the Princess who looked delicate and weak didn't even mutter any sound. Aunt Ling will alarmingly call her once in a while, for fear that she had died inside the Marrow Cleansing Liquid.
"Aunt Ling, I'm fine. Don't worry." Sang Yuanyuan can easily sense the emotions of the person beside her, especially the emotions that were directed at her.
She knew that this seemingly young elder in front of her really regarded her as a treasure, and she was not feeling bothered at all.
The Marrow Cleansing Liquid turned from thick to clear, Sang Yuanyuan's body once again oozed out the impurities. This time, it is no longer the gray dirt, but a mixture of red, yellow, white and black, these four colored strange glazes.
"Red fire, yellow earth, white silver and dark water are all coming out." Ling Gu clapped her hands and said, "Congratulations Princess, you belong to wood."
Sang Yuanyuan nodded gently.
She had already felt it. There was an abundance of green color flowing inside her body that slowly cleared away the dense mist.
She didn't leave the Marrow Cleansing Liquid, instead, she kept soaking until it completely turned into a bucket of clear water.
Aunt Ling carefully used a thin silver needle to take a bead-sized blood from Sang Yuanyuan's fingertip and put it on a small black stone for a test. Then she took a long sigh of relief, her face beamed with delight and she said happily, "Congratulations, Princess, on successfully entering the First Layer of the Hidden Spirit Base! From now on, as long as Princess ease the mind and meditate, you can feel the spirit of the wood element between Heaven and the Earth. "
Aunt Ling knew that a great haste is not always a good speed. It was already not an easy thing for Sang Yuanyuan to successfully wash her tendon and cut her marrow today, so she was not in a hurry to guide her to cultivate. Instead, she helped her back to the cloud bed and carefully talked about some small things about Sang state.
Although towards the place that was called Sang state, Sang Yuanyuan has no such feelings of a hometown, but after a while of listening to it, the heart can not help but have a little bit of yearning.
That is a green, leisurely and carefree place.
The folk custom is fierce but simple, unlike the Han people, one smarter than the other.
Chapter 5.4 Wood Element Little Fairy
After dinner, there was a low and deep drumming sound that came from far away. Sang Yuanyuan knew that it was King You, You Wuming, who had entered the capital of Han.
She looked at the window which gradually became stained with golden color. After a while, she said in a soft voice, "Aunt Ling, help me do something."
"Yes!" One second ago, Aunt Ling's face was still filled with that kind of maternal aunt's smile, and the next second she immediately changed to her normal and serious expression, while she bowed with cupping one hand in the other and put them before her chest.
"Knockout Jiang Jinyuan and throw him into You Yingyue's bedroom. Then knockout You Yingyue too. "
"Yes！......Huh?" The corner of Aunt Ling's eyes twitched heavily twice, but she didn't ask much, and went away to carry out the order.
At the moment, Han Shaoling has gone to the capital's gate to welcome the malefic Great Demon King.
Although You Wuming held Tiandu's order which said that it was to help assist King Han to eliminate the evil scourge, but this person, You Wuming, is a madman. Han Shaoling dare not to guarantee that if he went crazy, would he directly lead the army and massacre the capital of Han or not. Therefore, Han Shaoling undoubtedly must show his attitude of meeting the enemy head-on, and takes all the good men with him.
Aunt Ling can really run amok in the Imperial Harem then.
Sang Yuanyuan felt that she was only making such a minor matter, and it was already quite fair compared to Han Shaoling's day after day hospitality.
Moreover, she is saving Jiang Jinyuan's life.
When You Wuming entered King Han's palace, it immediately poked the female lead Meng Wuyou's G-spot[1] with incomparable precision. She ignores the fact that the other side is a powerful person with the Shining Spirit Base, with a lot of highly skilled people around him, and she also ignores the fact that she is just a vegetable waste[2] that hasn't even cleansed her marrow——It was unknown where she had got the dagger, then runs to the Palace Banquet and assassinate You Wuming.
She said that she wanted to avenge her parents who had been implicated by the changes in You state and died at that time.
This kind of thing, really only a Mary Sue female lead with her golden fingers cheat fully turned on, who can do it.
You Wuming originally wanted to kill this woman who didn't know her own place. In the end, Jiang Jinyuan jumped out to protect her and let her escape and returned back to Han Shaoling's side.
You Wuming is a madman. How can he care about things such as the status of the Imperial Family's Nephew?
So You Wuming very easily cut Jiang Jinyuan into several pieces.
Han Shaoling almost died on the spot.
And You Wuming, who has conveniently created a big incident, doesn't even the least bit care about it, and continues to sit behind the table full of blood, eating what should be eaten and drinking what should be drunk.
If it were not because he can't defeat the other side, Han Shaoling would surely have cut the madman into several pieces.
In the end, he suppressed the incident for You Wuming and lied to Tiandu, saying that Jiang Jinyuan was too eager to get rid of demons, and followed the army into the battle and died bravely in the Western Deep Abyss. Otherwise, he could not explain it himself too.
After dealing with Tiandu, Han Shaoling still had to nicely persuade You Wuming, let him at least look at the overall situation, and not reveal the truth himself.
Han Shaoling, this male lead, was very subdued in front of the Great Demon King in the early stage.
You Wuming......
Sang Yuanyuan inwardly muttered: Without Jiang Jinyuan to clear the way, don't know if Meng Wuyou still has the ability to break into the Palace Banquet at night? If she really has the ability to charge to the front of You Wuming, then, without Jiang Jinyuan, this scapegoat, will she just die like this in the hands of the Great Demon King villain?
But, Sang Yuanyuan really wanted to witness it with her own eyes, after she had changed the plot, how would heaven open up Meng Wuyou's golden finger.
If Meng Wuyou really died, Sang Yuanyuan would not have any psychological burden either——everyone is already an adult, and one should be responsible for their own folly.
