Half-Tried Deity
chapter-141-30041322

Qi Huan looked at Mo Yu, who was supposed to die long ago, but actually came back to life through taking over his son’s body, not knowing what to think.

Didn’t he feel a little guilty? He stole his own son’s body!

“You encounter some problems in your cultivation?” Mo Ye shook Qi Huan’s cold little hand, and the corners of his mouth raised.

“Yeah, otherwise, why should I change into this fragile body? If I don’t make this body into a zombie, it won’t contain my soul. It’s a failure.” Mo Yu looked at his hands and shook his head. “Originally, I could live for a while, but that trick of yours was really cruel, you directly shattered my body, so I had to prepare myself in advance.”

The conversation between the father and son was quite weird, and Qi Huan felt dizzy.

“Of course not, I can’t cultivate The Devil Pathway. Your mother told me that, and I believed everything she said. I just want to know what is written on it.” Mo Yu pleaded.

Unfortunately, Mo Ye was not moved by it. He looked at him calmly, “I’ve told you, it has disappeared.”

“You can tell me.” Mo Ye’s words made Mo Yu’s face a bit ugly. Mo Ye was the only person who had seen The Devil Pathway, and he should know what was recorded on it. All he needed to know was one sentence, only one sentence!

“Why should I tell you?” Mo Ye sneered.

“You are getting less and less obedient.”

Seeing Qi Huan sneaking away by herself, Mo Yu didn’t stop her either. He just glanced at her, “Do you think this woman is what you want?”

“How is this related to you?” Mo Ye was really rude, anyway, the relationship between father and son was long gone, and it was not Mo Yu’s turn to give pointers about his affairs.

“Everyone in the deity world is looking for her now, how likely do you think you can be with her?”

“No one can separate us.” Mo Ye didn’t have the desire to continue speaking. He clearly knew that there were some things that neither he nor Qi Huan could reverse, but neither of them deliberately mentioned them.

“Mo Ye, don’t you understand? The Six Pathway is irreversible. Maybe I should kill you now.”

“Then let’s see who’s better, you or me.” As Mo Ye’s voice just fell, a billowing gray mist filled the courtyard, all the flowers and plants in the courtyard instantly dried up, and all spiritual energy and vitality were absorbed by the gray mist.

He was wrapped in the gray mist, and no one could see his figure clearly.

Qi Huan stood in the distance. Although the aura exuding from Mo Ye made her very uncomfortable, she did not make a sound for fear of disturbing Mo Ye.

Mo Yu’s dark nails slowly grew longer and sharper, and strange lines appeared on his face. Those golden lines mixed with blood red colour looked scary.

Qi Huan only had time to see Mo Yu rushing into the gray mist that Mo Ye emitted, and then she could no longer hear any sound. Time seemed to be still. After a long time, the gray mist dispersed. Mo Yu and Mo Ye were a few steps apart. Mo Yu’s chest was stuck with a silver dagger, but Mo Ye’s lower abdomen was pierced by Mo Yu’s claws, making a hole.

At this time, Qi Huan really thanked God from the bottom of her heart, that fortunately, Mo Ye was a ghost. His body was made of grievances, and there were not any bits and pieces in his stomach, otherwise perhaps his heart and intestines would be flowing out now. And cuddling him to sleep would be so creepy.

“You lost.” Mo Ye stretched out his hand, grabbing the air, and took back the silver sword that had stabbed through Mo Yu’s chest. The black blood from Mo Yu’s body began to flow out continuously, it couldn’t stop no matter what.

“Immortal Ghost is indeed worthy of its name.” Mo Yu stretched out a hand to cover his chest, the expression on his face was either a smile or a hideous feeling because of pain.

After speaking, Mo Yu turned around and wanted to leave. At the moment he was about to step out of the enchantment, Mo Ye said again, “There’s nothing above.”

Mo Yu paused, and then left without looking back. No one knew what his expression was like at that time, regret or disappointment? He had been searching for all these years, just to find “The Devil Pathway”. He just wanted to know what the last words she left behind. It turned out that she didn’t leave anything.

Seeing Mo Yu left, Mo Ye absorbed all the grievances back into his body. The unsightly hole in his stomach was slowly healing itself, and Qi Huan slowly walked over.

“What the heck is he looking for?” The conversation between the two people was very strange, and Qi Huan felt as if she had suddenly time travelled again, not knowing anything.

“My mother left a word on the Air Cutting Silk before she died.” Mo Ye smiled.

“Oh?” Qi Huan hurriedly took out the Air Cutting Silk, and looked through the front and back carefully, but didn’t see any words.

Seeing Qi Huan looking so hard, Mo Ye felt embarrassed to dispel her enthusiasm. When she still couldn’t see anything, and got so annoyed that she threw it aside, Mo Ye only said casually, “You can’t see it.”

Qi Huan rolled her eyes, “Then you should have just told me what was written on it.” She was so inexperienced, even if she found it, she might not understand it.

Rather than let Mo Ye trick her one more time, she would rather know what she should do straight to the point.

“It’s for Mo Yu.” Mo Ye returned Qi Huan’s handkerchief-sized Air Cutting Silk, and read the words on it. He had seen the words for many years, but never understood why his mother never regretted being with his father, Mo Yu, even when he didn’t save her. Was such a man worthy of her life and death promise?

“You lied to him just now!” Qi Huan only understood this just now. What Mo Yu wanted to know was most probably the sentence written on the Air Cutting Silk, but Mo Ye told him just now that there was nothing written on it. This man was really so mean!

Liars would be eaten by wolves, but perhaps no wolves would dare to eat Mo Ye.

“Hmm.” Mo Ye lowered his head and glanced at his lower abdomen that had recovered, with a satisfied expression on his face.

“It’s not good to lie.” Qi Huan looked serious.

“Really? Then how did the rabbit I bought yesterday die?” Mo Ye raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

“It was definitely killed by an unknown mouse!” Qi Huan said with certainty, while blinking her eyes a few more times.

“What about the corpse?”

“Probably buried by the mouse!” As long as there was no evidence, even if she said that the rabbit had wings and flew away, it would be fine.

Yesterday they went shopping and saw someone catching a few live rabbits for sale. Qi Huan wanted one, saying that she wanted to keep it as a pet. As a result, Mo Ye found a roasted rabbit leg in his study room the next day after purchasing the rabbit.

The fat gray rabbit was missing. Mo Ye really wanted to know how big the rat in the house was, that it could kill such a fat rabbit.

“How does rabbit meat taste?” Mo Ye asked suddenly when he and Qi Huan walked back home.

“Very good, but needs some salt.”

After Mo Yu left, no one came to bother them anymore, and the days seemed to have returned to the usual peace. However, not long after the eldest lady of the Fang Family died of illness, the imperial decree came down, saying that the Fang Family had deceived the Emperor. Fortunately, the Emperor was not unreasonable, he just confiscated the Fang Family’s property.

But even so, it was enough to make the Fang Family restless from then on.

The Fang Family was once a well-known family, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. Soon, the Fang Family’s big house was bought by the Rong Family who had just moved from the capital. Rumours had it that the eldest lady of the Rong Family was the most beloved concubine of the current emperor, and they had also started with weaving…

Rumors were always told by others, but they were not credible. When Qi Huan was bored, she would sit on the second floor with Mo Ye, listening to the discussion and gossip downstairs that were about the former Fang Family, Fang Zhijin, the lady who died young in the Fang Family, and about the Rong Family…

In the mortal world, life was just like this, the glory and wealth would disappear in a blink of an eye. She had lived a lifetime, what was it that she was obsessed with? No matter who came to the city, it wouldn’t change the people here.

Standing by the window of the restaurant’s private room, Qi Huan reached out and pushed open the carved window. And the faint golden sunlight poured in from outside the window.

“You’ll get tan easily.”

Mo Ye stood behind Qi Huan and closed the window again. He was a ghost, so he naturally hated sunlight. Although with his cultivation level, sunlight did not cause him any harm, he still felt uncomfortable. However, according to Qi Huan, that was definitely just his psychological effect. That man should just squat in a corner and have mushrooms grow on him if he always wanted to be in the dark

“If you don’t bask in the sun, poisonous mushrooms will grow on you!” Qi Huan said as she waved away Mo Ye’s hand, and opened the window again.

“Isn’t that a good thing? Don’t you always want to eat mushrooms?”

“I’ll pass, you can have it.” Looking down, the street market opposite was quite lively. The food stall underneath exuded the delicious food aroma, making Qi Huan salivate.

She had been eating meat for too long, it was good to change the taste once in a while. She felt like eating something else today.

“Should I treat you to wonton?”

“…Can I ask for something more expensive?” A bowl of wontons was only a few copper. Qi Huan also used the word “please”. It showed how much face she was giving him.

“Then let’s have pie, that one is more expensive.”

Yes, a bowl of wontons was worth five copper, and a pie was worth six copper. It was indeed a bit more expensive. The most tragic thing was that even if it was just six copper, Qi Huan would be the one ordering, and Mo Ye would still be the one paying.

Mo Ye moved his mouth, and decided not to argue with Qi Huan about paying the bills. It was better for a man to support his family, right?

Qi Huan dragged the reluctant Mo Ye downstairs, the food stalls were only opposite of them. Qi Huan squeezed to the front of the stall, wanting to buy two pies to taste, and then she suddenly noticed a familiar cultivator.
