Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1028 - 1025: Sakura Falling
Li Chen went to find Little Demon Immortal, and as he passed by the cherry blossom tree, he suddenly saw a woman in white below.
Her figure was as graceful as a startled swan, her features like a painting, her skin fairer than snow, and a waist-cinching lotus dress made her entire being flourish delightfully.
Like a light cloud veiling the moon, like the flowing wind returning snow. From afar she appeared as radiant as the sun rising with morning clouds; up close, she was as luminous as a lotus emerging from clear waves. (Note 1)
Li Chen was startled upon seeing this, muttering to himself: Isn’t this Little Demon Immortal’s mother, Bai Shuang? What is she doing here?
Just as Li Chen hesitated whether to go over and greet her, the woman in white suddenly turned around and gave him a charming smile.
"Li Chen, you’re here!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chen’s heart jolted in surprise.
This wasn’t Bai Shuang, but the voice of Little Demon Immortal.
Li Chen, worried he had heard wrong, rubbed his eyes and looked closely; it was indeed Little Demon Immortal.
She smiled sweetly, dimples danced on her cheeks, inviting a captivated gaze.
Li Chen, puzzled and curious, asked, "Little Demon Immortal, why do you look like this?"
Little Demon Immortal did not answer directly. Instead, she lifted the hem of her skirt with her jade hand and twirled twice on the spot.
"Do I look good?"
The skirt’s hem flew, revealing glimpses of spring inside, truly enchanting.
Li Chen stared for a while before nodding, replying, "Hmm, beautiful!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s confirmation, Little Demon Immortal held a sweet smile on her lips.
"This is how I look once I’m grown up, beautiful, right?"
Li Chen nodded again, replying, "Hmm, very beautiful!"
"So if I marry you, would you be willing to marry me?"
Hearing Little Demon Immortal’s words, the corners of Li Chen’s mouth twitched, feeling an inexplicable toothache.
"Sure, I’ll wait for you to grow up. By the way, do you have your father’s Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron in your possession?"
Hearing the first part of Li Chen’s answer, Little Demon Immortal was very happy.
But when she heard the second part, her delicate brows couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"Yes, it’s with me!"
Li Chen directly extended his hand and said straightforwardly: "Lend it to me for a while, I have great use for it!"
Little Demon Immortal was not happy, pouting as she said, "Do you want to marry the cauldron, or do you want to marry me, Little Demon Immortal?"
"I want both!"
Li Chen’s voice wasn’t loud, but his tone was extraordinarily domineering, giving off an air of looking down upon the world.
"Hmph, you say one thing and mean another; I think you just want..."
Little Demon Immortal pouted, somewhat sulking.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Li Chen suddenly stepped forward and embraced her slender, soft waist.
Little Demon Immortal’s heart skipped a beat, her big watery eyes flashing as she looked at Li Chen.
"Li Chen, what are you doing?"
Li Chen didn’t reply; instead, he pressed his lips against Little Demon Immortal’s cherry-like lips.
Little Demon Immortal suddenly widened her eyes, filled with disbelief.
Aside from when she was young, and her father would kiss her on the forehead, no other man had ever been in such close contact with her.
At this moment, Little Demon Immortal felt a "buzz" in her mind, descending into a white blankness.
Soon after, "swish," a flash of light appeared, and Little Demon Immortal transformed, from a graceful maiden with long legs and snowy peaks to a petite, delicate loli princess.
Seeing Little Demon Immortal revert to her original form, Li Chen recalled his previous "beastly" actions, full of guilt.
For some reason, that classic adage from Earth’s internet kept resonating in his mind: Starting at three years, the maximum is the death penalty!
Li Chen steadied himself and said to Little Demon Immortal, "I’ve already left my mark on you. From now on, you are my woman, and once you grow up, I will marry you."
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Little Demon Immortal felt strange inside.
His mark already left on her body?
What mark, why couldn’t she feel it?
Could it be, it was all that saliva?
Thinking of these, Little Demon Immortal inexplicably felt a bit nauseous.
She wanted to vomit, but her body had frozen in midair for a moment, and not only did she not throw up, she even "gulped," swallowing her saliva.
Li Chen paused in thought and said, "Alright, now, may I have that Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron?"
At this moment, Little Demon Immortal’s mind was still blank, with no ability to think.
Therefore, when she heard Li Chen asking for the Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron, she lightly touched her slender hand, light swirling around her palm.
A Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron suddenly appeared within it.
"Here you go!"
Seeing the Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron, Li Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
On the cauldron were three large gilded characters, carved with ancient inscriptions.
Xuzhou Ding!
When Emperor Yu unified the world, the Xuzhou region’s Xionger Mountain was once troubled by demon ravagers.
Emperor Yu used powerful methods to kill seven great demon leaders to ensure the region’s safety and everlasting peace. He specifically forged this cauldron to suppress any remaining demons.
However, as Emperor Yu broke through the shackles of the Great Dao and ascended to another plane, the seals on the cauldron gradually weakened over time.
Later, the Demon Emperor Potian emerged, forcibly breaking the seal and taking possession of Xuzhou Ding.
Li Chen flicked the cauldron, a flash of light, absorbing it into the Sea of Consciousness.
At this moment, the other two treasure cauldrons in his Sea of Consciousness, Youzhou Ding, and Qingzhou Ding, were very excited, emitting crisp "clang" sounds.
At this moment, Little Demon Immortal still had Li Chen’s forceful kiss replaying in her mind, her slender white fingers entwined, showing varied sentiments, her cheeks flushed, shyly saying, "The cauldron is given to you, I shall go see Mother first!"
With that, not waiting for Li Chen’s reply, she ran out red-faced.
But after five or six steps, Little Demon Immortal suddenly stopped.
Li Chen, slightly perplexed, asked, "Anything else?"
Little Demon Immortal rubbed her somewhat warm ears and said, "Remember what you just said, wait for me to grow up!"
Before her words faded, she was like a startled little rabbit, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing Little Demon Immortal’s gradually fading figure, a complex smile appeared at the corners of Li Chen’s mouth.
At that moment, a cherry blossom fluttered down.
Li Chen casually caught it, the cherry blossom fell into his palm.
Looking at the cherry blossom, rosy in its whiteness, for some reason, Li Chen kept recalling Dao Luohen, remembering the cherry blossom tree on the cliff top.
He remembered that day, just like now, with evening clouds filling the human world.
Suddenly!
The cold wind appeared!
The cherry blossom in Li Chen’s hand fell with the wind, as if the Flower Fairy, gracefully dancing in the air.
In the distance, it seemed an ethereal voice sang, with a sorrowful and forlorn tune:
The song goes:
Spring comes again, people are gone, wind and smoke, sunset late
Cherry blossoms bloom, scatter at once, in disarray (Note 2)
Just as Li Chen was deep in thought, the sound of rustling suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall.
Li Chen’s expression slightly darkened, and he quietly shouted, "Who is there, come out!"
...
Note 1: From Cao Zhi’s "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River"
Note 2: Lyrics from "Sakura Falling." Initially intended to write a plot about Dao Luohen and Bai Shuang based on these lyrics. However, upon further reflection, it seemed unnecessary. Their story will be written in a future side story!
That said, timidly, in two months, Little Le will be exactly six years old, and it’s time to enter first grade, still a little kid. Tomorrow is my holiday, and everyone remembers to wish me a happy holiday!
