223: Reunited in fire and water

Where is this?

She was floating in the sea of stars.

"This is his spiritual sea. I will maintain the channel; you go find him."

The Emperor's face appeared in the sky, his voice sounding as if it were coming from a distant place behind a membrane, buzzing and unclear.

"Find what?"

"Anything you feel a connection to."

"Be quick."

After this sentence, The Emperor did not speak again, and his figure gradually blurred.

Tu Nan guessed that he needed more energy to maintain the channel.

There was nothing different in the surroundings; it looked like a graveyard of stars.

Yesterday and today, The Emperor had already searched.

Then in what direction should she go? Every second was critical.

[Little Bird, are you there?]

Something suddenly appeared on Tu Nan's shoulder. She turned her head and met the eyes of a yellow Little Chick.

The little guy had a pair of round, light blue eyes.

[Mom? You look like this...] The little guy looked around and snuggled into his mother's neck.

[It's so cold here. Let's not stay here; it's very dangerous.]

The Children were actually here.

Tu Nan tried asking, [Little Fish?]

It seemed that only Little Bird had been projected into his father's spiritual sea due to the parent-child bond?

If the Children could be successfully brought into Kong Jiamu's spiritual sea because of this connection, then perhaps...

[Little Bird, come, if you had to choose the direction you most want to go, where would you go?]

Tu Nan asked him: [Well, I mean, which direction do you feel someone is waiting for you in?]

She tried to explain in more detail, and Little Bird pointed his short wing toward the front-side.

[There.] The little guy was very innocent, [I wanted to go there as soon as I came in. Hurry, Mom.]

Tu Nan was ecstatic and ran madly in that direction.

But she forgot that this was a spiritual sea, and this was a scene of the starry sky.

Her running was meaningless...

But she didn't care; apart from running, she had no other way.

That was the direction where the peacock was; she believed so.

Under this conviction of hers, she crashed straight toward that place like a meteor.

[Ah! Mom, don't run off alone, wait for me!] Little Bird flapped his wings and caught up, directly biting his mother's braid to ensure he wouldn't be left behind.

Before Tu Nan's eyes, a small planet gradually appeared, full of stones, big and small, piled up into mountains.

The only mountain was also piled up crookedly from stones, but at least it had a peak.

She inexplicably felt that Kong Jiamu was there.

Because that place was the highest, and Kong Jiamu never liked being in any low place.

On a giant rock at the mountain peak, a dusty, gray Little Bird was sprawled out.

That was him. Although there was no place that would let Tu Nan recognize him, Tu Nan just knew.

This was the damn Kong Jiamu.

"Found him! He's unconscious."

She called out to The Emperor.

"Very good!" The Emperor's voice seemed unstable, "Wake him up and bring him out."

Tu Nan bent down and reached out to poke the Little Bird's dusty, gray chest.

It took a long while for the Kong Jiamu bird to lazily open its eyes.

"What? So annoying." He was very unwilling.

But his eyes lit up the moment he saw Tu Nan.

"Eh? Beautiful lady, why are you here?" The empty-headed Kong Jiamu's aesthetic sense hadn't changed at all.

"I am Tu Nan. Jiamu, don't you remember me? Come back with me quickly."

Tu Nan wanted to scoop him up.

Kong Jiamu jumped away with Divine Qi, tilting his head to look at her.

His brain was currently a mess of paste, and he just felt like getting close to this person. But suddenly, from the beautiful woman's eyes, he discovered... why was he in this image?

A dusty, gray little ball?

He definitely shouldn't be like this, but what should he be like?

Kong Jiamu broke down and darted into a rock crevice on the side.

"Wait a moment, I need to tidy up. I can't come out like this." He was anxious.

Tu Nan was about to go crazy. What was this silly bird doing now?

But she could only coax him.

"Tidy up what? You are the most beautiful bird in the world. Look at your fluffy feathers, your little black pointed beak, um, that, your light blue eyes are my favorite, I recognized you at a glance. Quick, Kong Jiamu~ come out."

After coaxing him out, she grabbed him to go find The Emperor first.

Kong Jiamu refused no matter what.

He twisted and turned in the rock crevice, and kept preening his feathers. But no matter how he preened, he wasn't satisfied.

In his impression, his feathers shouldn't be like this...

It was...

"Mom! Who is this ugly thing?"

It was Little Bird; he was very unhappy that Mom was actually praising someone else as the most beautiful bird.

Impossible, the most beautiful bird was clearly him!

"Little Bird, don't talk nonsense, this is your father. He just turned into this now; he was very beautiful before."

"What? How can this gray fur be beautiful?"

Little Bird was very disgusted, jumped to the ground, hopped around, and provoked the entrance of the cave, "Ugly thing! Ugly thing!"

"You're the ugly one!"

The peacock rushed out from inside, smashed into Little Bird like a cannonball, and started tearing at Little Bird's feathers with his beak and claws.

Ruthless person, few words.

Instantly, bird feathers were flying everywhere.

"You hit me! How could you be my father when you're so ugly! Mom, did you get it wrong!"

Little Bird screamed!

"That silver-haired one from just now was much prettier! I want that person to be my father! I don't want you, you jerk, ahhhhh~"

He couldn't win the fight and was extremely miserable.

The peacock was still pecking his son's head when he was grabbed by Tu Nan; she grabbed Little Bird with her other hand.

Feeling very chaotic, what kind of Kindergarten scene was this.

At least she caught them, she called out to The Emperor: "The Emperor! I caught him! Quick!"

The Emperor, however, had no response.

"The Emperor! Did you hear me! Your Majesty!"

Her voice grew louder and louder, starting to become hoarse. What was wrong, what happened?

The peacock and Little Bird both felt her panic and looked at her worriedly.

In this state of emotional shock, Tu Nan suddenly felt a familiar cramping pain in her lower abdomen.

A moment later, she smiled bitterly and said to Kong Jiamu.

"You still haven't remembered? Kong Jiamu?"

"You had an accident on the battlefield; this is your spiritual sea. If you don't wake up, you will die."

"The Emperor and I came here from the Capital City by warship. Now, the Star Worms are attacking, and I..."

"Am going into labor."

The peacock, a tiny Little Bird, listened carefully to every word she said, and he looked at her belly in shock.

"Are you still not coming back?"

"If you don't wake up, the Children and I will really have to rely on The Emperor for protection."

Little Bird jumped onto his mother's shoulder, rubbing against her worriedly.

She slowly squatted on the ground, frowning in difficulty as she endured it.

But then she saw orange flames appearing from her palm.

"Do you dislike me?"

The dusty, gray Little Bird puffed out his chest, looking at her with both grievance and ferocity.

He jumped out from Tu Nan's hand, the orange-red flames burning brighter and brighter, and the surrounding stones and starry sky turned into fuel, throwing themselves into his fire.

A familiar figure walked out from the fire and hugged her.

Kong Jiamu leaped forcefully toward the sky.

Tu Nan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the Kong Jiamu in the liquid also opened his eyes.

In the moment where fire and water intertwined, she finally reached out and retrieved him from the abyss.

Kong Jiamu curled one corner of his mouth, revealing a handsome smile.

He leaned forward, and just as he reached Tu Nan's lips, the Female Beast in front of him was snatched away.

Tu Nan was directly lifted out of the Treatment Pod by the Silver Armored Knight.

Tu Nan saw The Emperor leaning on the Treatment Pod, coughing violently, his whole body almost soaked with sweat.

But Tu Nan was temporarily unable to care about The Emperor.

"I... I am going into labor."

She said to the knight in front of her.

This person stiffened for a moment, threw something to The Emperor, scooped her up, and walked to the door in a few steps.

"Someone! Where is the medical officer! She is going into labor!"

His voice, although it was a tone she hadn't heard before, Tu Nan always felt it was very familiar.

The Emperor finally got the medicine, and the peacock was weakly scratching at the wall of the Treatment Pod.

Everyone was there.

It's great, Tu Nan finally put down her hanging heart.

But then she thought.

Very good, there was another shock waiting for someone.
