Chapter 518: Chapter 517 - Xin Huos Choice

Dang——

Si Ming’s fingertip was stopped by the 【Shao Hao Bell】.

“Shao Hao Monarch’s bell?" Si Ming stopped and looked at the bell curiously. Although she could break Lord Bai’s seals, she couldn’t do much against the bell.

She was quite knowledgeable unlike Zhong Yue, who knew little to nothing about Fuxi Celestial Race’s history. With just a look, she could recognize the bell as the imperial bell of the Shao Hao Heavenly Monarch.

Although the Shao Hao Bell’s true form wasn’t here, this visualized 【Shao Hao Bell】 coupled with a slight surge of the Shao Hao Bell was strong enough to take down all of her attacks.

Zhong Yue stood inside the translucent bell and the Shao Hao Bell’s voice was conducted right into his mind. No one other them the two of them were aware.

Zhong Yue shook his head and replied, “No, she is not my wife.”

Xin Huo appeared in his psyche ocean and said, “Not yet, but it’s only a matter of time.”

“You!" Shao Hao Bell saw the little flame and was instantly angered.

Suddenly, a fat child donned in a traditional red chinese garment appeared in Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean. And hanging from the fat child’s neck was a bell. The child had his hands on his waist and glared at Xin Huo, he said angrily, “Your brat! How dare you still come out in front of me after stealing my powers so many times!”

Xin Huo was puzzled, he replied, “Little fatty, I thought that with our friendship, you wouldn’t be so stingy in this. Wasn’t it just a few times I borrowed your power? Do you really want to make such a fuss out of it?”

“You stole, not borrowed!" The child was burning in flames as he shouted, “STOLE! Every damn time. When did you ever ask me?”

Xin Huo felt wronged as he said, “With our friendship, don’t you think it’s unnecessary for us to bother with that? If I asked every time just for this little bit of help, don’t you think it will only make our relationship distant? Moreover, I am your senior, how can you say I stole from you? At most, I borrowed.”

“If you borrowed, you would return it, but you never did!”

“Why should I? It’s just because of our close friendship, that’s why I am comfortable with not returning it to you. Yet, you questioned me for such little stuffs, this really pains my heart. I feel like… you tainted our good relation, oh, my heart aches.”

“You don’t a heart, alright?”

…

The two of them were arguing in Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean while Zhong Yue was speechless on the side. Xin Huo’s words somehow made sense but when thought about deeper, all of it was nonsense.

Si Ming looked at the 【Shao Hao Bell】, and her fingers moved and tapped elegantly on its surface as if she were playing a melodious song.

……

“Who is this Fuxi lady?" The little fatty gave up arguing with Xin Huo, and when he heard the music, he instantly turned his eyes at Si Ming and asked, “How does she know the song? This was a song written by the Shao Hao Monarch and was lost in the history of time. How can she know how to play it?”

“Song of the Surging Waves," Si Ming looked at the translucent bell, and she said softly, “Imperial bell, if you still remember this song, then why don’t you come out and meet me?”

The little fatty came out of Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean and looked at Si Ming, he asked curiously, “Where did you learn this song?”

Si Ming did not answer, she looked at the little fatty in surprise. It seemed like even the placid Si Ming was surprised by its appearance. Moments later, she said, “Are you willing to come with me?”

“Go with you?" The little fatty was puzzled, he scratched his head and asked, “What for?”

Zhong Yue suddenly tensed up as well, this Fuxi lady Si Ming asked Shao Hao Bell to leave with her! If Shao Hao Bell agreed, then he would lose his defensive trump card?

It was because of the Shao Hao Bell that he was able to avoid being suppressed by Si Ming. The Shao Hao Bell was one of the things that could allow him to stop Si Ming from destroying the Ancestral Star!

“Because the Fuxi Clan, I am the only one left," Si Ming answered placidly.

The little fatty turned his head and look at Zhong Yue, he shook his head and replied, “There is still a Fuxi here, you are not alone.”

“But I am the only pureblood Fuxi," Si Ming continued saying, “The Fuxi Celestial Race is dying, as the imperial bell of the Shao Hao Monarch Shao Hao Fuxi, shouldn’t you do something about it? It is my destiny to bring the Fuxi Clan to the top of this world again, but our enemies are too much and too strong, I cannot do this on my own. Imperial bell, are you willing to help me in my quest?”

The little fatty hesitated as he said, “Not that I’m not willing to…”

Zhong Yue suddenly said, “What are you going to ask from senior Shao Hao Bell? Help you destroying the Ancestral Star?”

“Destroy the Ancestral Star?" The little fatty turned vigilant in the blink of an eye, he stared at Si Ming and said, “Destroying the Ancestral Star is a no-no! If you are going to do that, then you will have to get through me first! The Ancestral Star is the origin of the Fuxi Celestial Race, how can it be destroyed by you?”

Si Ming frowned and said, “My goal is to force all the imperial tombs to reemerge and ask all of the Heavenly Monarchs’ imperial weapons to help me in my quest. And also to sacrifice the living beings on it to awaken our ancestors’ spirits. This is necessary for the rise of the Fuxi Clan. Our enemies are far too great for me to deal with alone.”

The little fatty shook his head and said, “It’s still a no go plan. The Ancestral Star is the origin of Fuxi, it mustn’t be harmed, you have no standing on this matter. Plus, even if I don’t stop you, the other imperial weapons will. The secrets of the Ancestral Star are far beyond your imagination, any single hidden thing here can easily reduce this insect planet into nothing. Even the current Heavenly Monarch would be incredibly respectful if he were here on the Ancestral Star, let alone you.”

Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief, it was a huge relief to know that the Ancestral Star wouldn’t be destroyed.

On the other hand, disappointment instantly radiated all across Si Ming’s placid countenance, and she mumbled, “So destroying the Ancestral Star won’t work…”

“Never," the little fatty adjusted his reddish traditional chinese undergarment and said, “Other than the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs, the 36 Sui Sovereigns are also buried in here. They aren’t Fuxi, and their treasures from the Fire Order Era aren’t nice to talk with. The Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs’ divine weapons wouldn’t do anything to you, but the Sui Sovereigns’ divine weapons will not hesitate to destroy you.”

Zhong Yue was shocked, the Ancestral Star was just like a tiny dust to the whole universe. Yet, there were 36 Sui Sovereigns buried there together with all of the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs.

The Heavenly Sovereigns and Earthly Sovereigns were all here.

These Heavenly Sovereigns and Earthly Sovereigns their divine weapons here in their tombs as well. Just how terrifying and appalling would their total power be?

Zhong Yue could feel his heart thumping just thinking about it!

“Is that so?" Si Ming mumbled, “If I can’t get the help of the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs, if I can’t awaken the spirits of our ancestors … Is there really no way we can do this?”

“Not even half a way," the little fatty said, “If it could work, the Ancestral Star would be long gone already. Supreme rulers of two eras, all buried in here, do you think this is a place anyone can simply piss around? Little girl, I suggest you not think too much about this.”

Si Ming pondered quietly, the goddess was always placid and held an elegant air. Even when she knew that her plan wouldn’t work, she didn’t let go of her hope at all. She suddenly raised her head up and said, “Then, may the imperial bell follow me so that we can find another way.”

All of a sudden, Zhong Yue said from the side, “Shao Hao Bell, I am also a Fuxi, I also want to break the seals away, I want to free the humans from our chains that shackled our true powers. It is my wish to bring the humanity up to the peak of this work and let the glory of our ancestors shine upon us once again. Why don’t you follow me?”

Si Ming looked over, her beautiful eyes blinked and she turned back quietly at the little fatty.

The little fatty hesitated, he looked at Zhong Yue and looked at the Fuxi lady and back to Zhong Yue. After a long time, he nodded heavily and said, “I choose her! Her blood purity is higher than yours, she is a pureblood while you still have a ways to go. She has higher potential and a greater chance in recovering the glory of the Fuxi Celestial Race.”

Zhong Yue sighed and nodded softly.

Shao Hao Bell was really strong, the imperial bell could be described as the strongest divine weapon he had ever come across. It was even stronger than the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor’s Warhorn and the Human Sovereign’s divine sword. If he could had unrestricted access to it, he would be able to conquer the Ancestral Star and strengthen the human race.

But the Shao Hao Bell made its choice, and it chose Si Ming.

Si Ming smiled and suddenly said softly, “Then, how about you, Great Preceptor?”

Zhong Yue’s heart stiffened up. Great Preceptor… it was Xin Huo!

The Fuxi lady was able to tell that Xin Huo was in his Yuan Shen secret realm. After persuading Shao Hao Bell to follow her, she wanted to bring Xin Huo away as well!

The loss of the Shao Hao Bell only caused Zhong Yue to lament in his heart, but if Xin Huo were to leave him as well, he wouldn’t be able to accept it!

To him, Xin Huo wasn’t just the Great Preceptor, Xin Huo was also his closest friend, his teacher and most reliable partner!

The longer he spent with the little flame, the deeper his relation with him grew, and the more unwilling he was to let Xin Huo go.

“You know me?" Xin Huo leaped out from Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean and hovered in mid-air as he asked curiously.

Si Ming nodded softly, “Xin Huo the Great Preceptor, I already noticed you when I repaired his mortal body.”

Xin Huo shook his head and said, “I’m not talking about this. I’m asking, the Fuxi Sovereign Celestial Race already disappeared for so many years. The records of history had been wiped away, no one knows of anything about the Earth Order Era anymore, but how did you know me?”

Rays flashed across Si Ming’s eyes, she said, “If the Great Preceptor Is willing to help me in my quest, you will know about me naturally. With the help of the Great Preceptor, the Fuxi Clan will surely be able…”

“Not interested." Xin Huo shook his head and said insouciantly.

Si Ming was stunned and so was Zhong Yue, even the little fatty Shao Hao Bell was puzzled. Si Ming didn’t expect Xin Huo to turn her down so quickly, she said, “I am a pureblood Fuxi and he isn’t even a half-blood. Why did the Great Preceptor choose him over me? I am better qualified than he is. Furthermore, do you not want to bring the Fuxi Sovereign Celestial Race to its peak again? I am your best bet, not him.”

Although her words were quite painful to hear, it was true. And even Zhong Yue himself thought so too.

Si Ming was, indeed, a better choice than Zhong Yue!

“Little girl, you are right, but you’ve mistaken one thing." Xin Huo yawned and he raised a finger, waving it at her, “I do not owe the Fuxi Clan anything, I am created by the Sui Sovereign, a preceptor who passes down all the knowledge he has. It is my destiny to pass down the heritage held within me. After the end of the Fire Order Era, I chose the Fuxi Clan simply because the Fuxi Race has the closest bloodline to the Sui Sovereign. You want to recover the glory and power the Fuxi Clan once had? Well, that has nothing to do with me.”

Si Ming was stunned.

Xin Huo continued, “Furthermore, all of the Xin Huo inheritors were males, and you are a female, I’m not really sure if I’m used to that. Also, I don’t quite like you, you lack… um … something I call human warmth…”

Zhong Yue cleared his throat and prompted the little flame, he whispered softly, “Xin Huo, these are three things, not one.”

“Yup, yup! They are altogether three different things!" The little fatty Shao Hao Bell nodded in agreement.
