Perfection: Starting from the Vow to Marry the Willow God

At this time, Xiao Meng was sitting on his shoulder and looking at him strangely. The two of them had been humming a song and looking at each other for quite a while.

The reason why Xiao Meng looked at him so strangely was because his body was covered with bruises. There were a lot of bruises from palm prints and fingerprints. There were more than twenty stripes of bruises, all densely covering his shoulders. Xiao Meng did not notice any blood or injuries, but she could still smell some blood.

The night before, she first discovered a terrifying axe mark on the willow tree. She interpreted it and almost burned her host. She rushed to see the hostess, but was driven out by the strange hostess.

Neither her master nor her mistress told her what had happened that night.

After a day and two nights of worry, seeing Shi Heng wake up and hum a song while washing his face, she felt relieved.

Although she couldn't figure out what had happened, she could feel from Shi Heng's emotions that things were not bad.

"Help me remove the bruises on my face and neck. Today I have to go to the second ancestral land with Xiao Shihao." Shi Heng ignored Xiao Meng's puzzled look and whispered to the air.

Then, as Xiao Meng was stunned, a few spots of green light floated in the air, sank into Shi Heng's face, and then the bruises disappeared.

Xiao Meng fell directly from Shi Heng's shoulder. She was stunned by Shi Heng's words and Liu Shen's cooperation.

Shi Heng went back to his room and changed into a blue shirt. This was also made by the village embroiderer at the request of the old patriarch. There were more than a dozen different styles. He would only change into this shirt when he needed to go on a long journey. Normally, when he was in the village, he would wear animal skins.

"Help me put my hair crown up." Shi Heng urged when he saw Xiao Meng still standing on his shoulder and looking at him curiously.

"Master, what happened between you and the mistress that night?" Xiao Meng returned to human form, stood behind Shi Heng, and asked curiously while helping him stand up his hair.

"You are so curious. You deserved the axe mark that almost got you burned. Don't ask about things that are not necessary." Shi Heng said without moving his head, rolling his eyes at Xiao Meng in the mirror.

"Lulu!" Xiao Meng made a face at Shi Heng in the mirror, then combed Shi Heng's hair very hard with a reluctant look on her face.

"Did any villagers come to see me yesterday?" Shi Heng asked, ignoring Xiao Meng's antics.

"Yes..." Xiao Meng began to describe what happened yesterday morning.

The axe marks on the Willow Tree really scared the villagers.

Fortunately, Willow God had not yet gone into seclusion to recuperate. He sent a message to the villagers saying that he was fine. Although the villagers were very worried, since Willow God himself had spoken, they did not ask any more questions.

The old patriarch also came to see Shi Heng. After seeing the bruises on Shi Heng's body, although he was a little shocked, he still went out and did not let other villagers disturb him.

"Where is Xiao Shihao?" The reason why he changed his attire was because Xiao Shihao's great-grandfather was critically ill, and he had already agreed with Xiao Shihao that he should go to the second ancestral land with Xiao Shihao yesterday.

"Little Shi Hao is staring at the axe marks on the Willow God Tree in a daze, as if he is trying to gain enlightenment." Xiao Meng had already straightened Shi Heng's hair, clapped her hands in satisfaction, then transformed into a three-inch-tall creature and sat on Shi Heng's shoulder.

"Let's go, it's noon." Shi Heng said.

Shi Heng's courtyard and the place where Liu Shen is located are not far away, separated only by the old patriarch's courtyard.

He slowly looked around the village. In the past two days, the people of Shi Village did not go out, but gathered in the martial arts field, chatting in groups of three or five.

Many villagers looked at the axe marks on the willow stump with concern and confusion. The Willow God was already very powerful, and it was hard for them to imagine how powerful its owner was to be able to quietly leave such a terrifying axe mark on it.

"Xiao Heng, are you finally awake?" the old patriarch asked.

He must have heard the sound of Shi Heng closing the door, so he walked out of the stone house, holding two little hamsters in his hands. They were Ah Shuai and Ah Guai, who often went on long trips.

Shi Heng responded, then looked at the two mice curiously. The mice had gone on a long journey this time, and no one knew where they had gone. They had many injuries on their bodies, and their originally very beautiful fur now looked a little dull, and the two mice were still in a coma.

Shi Heng thought that the Willow God was probably afraid that they would disturb his sleep, so he threw them to the old patriarch and asked him to use the spiritual fluid to restore them.

"Xiao Heng, judging from your expression, you have recovered well?" The old patriarch, who was experienced and shrewd, said tactfully.

"Yes, thank you for your concern." Shi Heng smiled and nodded.

"Oh!? Your cultivation has improved again?" The old patriarch still used words with meaning.

"Haha, the road is long and arduous, and the road of cultivation is still long." Shi Heng sighed.

Xiao Meng rolled her eyes as she listened to what the two were saying. If she hadn't seen the injuries on Shi Heng's body, she would have thought that they were really talking about cultivation.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Shi Heng turned away from the old patriarch and walked under the willow tree. He first weighed the axe marks, and then he knew what was going on, so he didn't take it seriously. So he informed the willow tree, and then pulled up the somewhat obsessed little Shi Hao and Maoqiu, and entered the tenth cave heaven.

Inside the cave, next to Shi Heng's special teleportation array, two figures, one large and one small, appeared.

"Wake up!" Shi Heng interrupted little Shi Hao when he saw he was still thinking.

"Ah! Uncle Heng? You're awake? Great! I have a lot of questions to ask you." Little Shi Hao came back to his senses and looked at Shi Heng in surprise.

Shi Heng looked at Xiao Shi Hao puzzledly, meaning, just tell me what the problem is.

"Uncle Heng, where did the axe marks on the Willow God Tree come from? They look so mysterious and amazing." Little Shi Hao asked curiously.

At this time, Shi Heng had already dragged little Shi Hao into the teleportation array, and was preparing to go to the second ancestral land of the Shi clan through the teleportation array.

Seeing that Shi Heng did not reply, he said in surprise: "Moreover... I vaguely saw an extremely majestic figure, which was countless times more powerful than the figure I saw when I was practicing the Devouring Cultivation Method. This is... too amazing."

Shi Heng's face was still a little pale. When he heard what Xiao Shi Hao said, he was surprised and asked, "Do you have any other insights?"

With Ziyun's blessing, little Shihao's comprehension has reached an astonishing level. He can even see Pangu's figure directly from the axe marks on the willow tree. It is incredible.

"Yes! I felt the ultimate power! Power beyond imagination! Endless power! And... Uncle Heng, why don't you leave later! I was almost able to comprehend a trace of magical powers, but was interrupted by you..." Xiao Shihao said reluctantly and very dissatisfiedly.

"Come back and have a look. It won't dissipate for a while," Shi Heng responded directly.

"Oh, okay!" Xiao Shihao's voice was still ringing, but the two figures had disappeared.

Shi Heng of the Second Ancestral Land did not let Xiao Qingfeng set up a teleportation array, so for the past two years, Xiao Qingfeng had been meeting Xiao Shihao in the virtual space.

At this moment, a white light flashed, and two figures appeared beside Xiao Qingfeng. However, Shi Heng came in a hurry and did not inform Xiao Qingfeng, so the two of them suddenly appeared in full view of everyone.

"Who is it?" a shout reached the ears of the two.

"Clang! clang! clang!" The sound of swords being drawn was audible.

"Qingfeng, we are here." Xiao Shihao ignored everyone else and said to Xiao Qingfeng.

Shi Heng looked around and found that he had arrived at the right time. There were more than a dozen people around, both strong and weak, standing in the old man's courtyard.

The old man was lying in the house, looking as if he was barely breathing. Judging from the life force in his body, it was likely that he would only live for another two days.

Not only Shi Heng was looking at them, but more than ten people around were also examining the two people who had suddenly appeared.

Chapter 97 Ancestral Land

The yard was not particularly big, and with more than a dozen people standing there, it seemed quite crowded, but not to the point where people were packed against each other.

There were seven or eight servants and housekeepers, and the rest were members of the Stone Clan dressed in fancy clothes.

Xiao Qingfeng had mentioned to them more than a year ago that these people should be the King Wu who was demoted to the border by the Stone Emperor, as well as several elders from the King Wu's Mansion who were on good terms with the Rain Clan.

"King Wu? You are in such a good mood that you actually care about a dying old man." Shi Heng teased as he looked at the people with the formation realm cultivation who were leading the group.

A dozen or so members of the Stone Tribe, who were teleported here by Shi Heng and Xiao Shi Hao, have been in shock ever since.

The method of directly locating and teleporting to the ancestral land was far beyond their imagination.

After all, King Wu was a man who had fought for the throne. Although he was surprised by the man in front of him, he immediately came to his senses after hearing Shi Heng's ridicule.

"Are you the high priest of the ancestral land?" King Wu asked.

The other dozen or so people also came back to their senses from their shock and looked at Shi Heng.

In the incident two years ago, the Stone Kingdom only heard of him, but not the person himself. After two years of fermentation, everyone who should know has known it, so they are very curious about this mysterious primitive ancestral land high priest whose identity was confirmed by the Stone Emperor.

"What? If I say no, will you kill me directly?" Shi Heng asked with a chuckle.

He did not have any deep hatred for King Wu. He was just a prince who put profit above all else and could not manage his family.

Of course, there is no good impression at all. For those who believe in profit above all else, betrayal is only a matter of time.

"What about you, right?" King Wu asked coldly.

He noticed that Shi Heng was only at the Inscription Realm, and he thought that it was because of the teleportation that his face was extremely pale, so he relaxed his expression, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill Shi Heng right there and then.

"I'll deal with you later." Shi Heng walked into the house without looking back, because he wanted to confirm with the old man one last time whether he needed to extend his life.

When King Wu heard this, his aura surged wildly, and a bright glow was hidden and ready to be released, as if countless rune patterns from Taoist scriptures were emerging on his body, causing the expressions of the people around him to change drastically.

In his opinion, being ignored by a so-called "high priest" in the Inscription Realm made his self-esteem, which had not been damaged for decades, feel humiliated again.

Xiao Shihao glanced at him when he was getting angry, and then paid no more attention to him. Although he wanted to go in to visit the old man, he saw that Xiao Qingfeng was crying a little hard, so he could only continue to comfort Xiao Qingfeng.

Now, he has no awe for the so-called formation realm. Although his own strength has not yet reached that level, he does not think that its cultivation is very profound.

Whether it was his own vision or his own potential, he could not afford to do so. Because if he broke into the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he would also be able to fight against him.

King Wu could not see the culprit who caused him to be demoted to his ancestral land for the time being, but there was still a secondary culprit present. So he stared at Xiao Shi Hao with cold eyes, looking him up and down.

"Are you Ziling's disabled child?" King Wu said bluntly. As the head of King Wu's Mansion, he would naturally not care about the feelings of a junior who he considered disabled.

"Uncle, who are you? You look so fierce, even more fierce than the big yellow dog in my grandfather's house!" Little Shi Hao opened his big bright eyes and said to King Wu very innocently.

After saying this, he hid behind a chair nearby in fear, as if he was seriously affected by his aura.

"You rude boy, don't think that we will pity you just because you are disabled. You know, your father Shi Ziling and your mother Qin Yining caused chaos in the mansion, resulting in countless people in the clan being seriously injured. The pain of having your bones snatched that you suffered cannot be compared with their injuries at all." The elder of the Wuwang Mansion said in a cold voice.

King Wu did not bother with Xiao Shi Hao, but his originally cold eyes had turned colder. He was completely infuriated by Shi Heng and Xiao Shi Hao.

Little Shi Hao still said with a pure face: "Grandpa, was your son also destroyed by my parents? If so, then I can only say sorry on behalf of my parents. Because I can't send you off on behalf of your son. I just hope you can die peacefully in a few years."

"I remember your name is Shi Hao, right? Hao'er, although I don't know how you survived and entered the Cave Heaven Realm. Your parents disappeared while looking for a life-saving elixir for you. I think you are also very anxious. Since you have come to the ancestral land, come back with us. We will assist you and find your parents together." Another elder of the Wuwang Mansion said in a hypocritical manner.

"Really? Grandpa, you have a really thick skin for helping an eight-year-old kid like me find my parents. Why don't you go and find your own parents from your previous life? That might be more meaningful." Little Shi Hao's clear and childish voice still rang out, but his words showed no respect for the elder in front of him.

"You useless bastard..." The people in the Wuwang Mansion all looked extremely gloomy at this time. Countless runes appeared on their bodies, as if they wanted to attack Xiao Shihao directly. Obviously, Xiao Shihao's words made them very angry.

"Xiao Hao, come in. Don't waste time talking to irrelevant people. The old man's time is precious." Shi Heng's voice rang out from inside the house and reached the ears of everyone in the courtyard.

Except for Xiao Shihao and Xiao Qingfeng, everyone else was staring at the source of the sound through the wall with angry faces.

"Let's go, Xiao Qingfeng. Let's go into the house. There are a lot of vicious dogs barking here. It's not a place to stay for long." Xiao Shihao said to Xiao Qingfeng who was still sad.

Xiao Qingfeng nodded and followed Xiao Shihao in.

King Wu still suppressed his anger. The old man was critically ill at the moment, so he couldn't do anything too excessive.

At this time, inside the house, the old man saw his two little grandsons come in, and he wanted to gather up his remaining strength like a candle to stand up and meet them.

When Xiao Shihao and Xiao Qingfeng saw the old man lying on the bed, their eyes suddenly flickered.

The two of them hurried to the bedside and each of them held the old man's hand, which was as dry as tree bark, with their tender little hands.

"Grandpa, I... don't want... you... to go." Xiao Qingfeng's face was already covered with tears, and she sobbed as she spoke.

"Grandpa..." Little Shi Hao was already in tears. He did not ask Shi Heng to extend the old man's life. The old man had already stated that he was very lonely and wanted to meet his old brothers. Little Shi Hao could only respect the old man's wishes.

"My dear grandsons, you are here..." Seeing that he couldn't get up, the old man had to tilt his head and speak to his two dear grandsons.

"Yeah." Xiao Shihao and Xiao Qingfeng nodded at the same time, comforting the old man who wanted to get up and asked him to lie down.
