A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Chapter 200 Nezha’s Mermaid Mentor (3)

Shi Yi wanted to help the other party but she didn't know where to start because she had no idea what the main plot of this world was, or whether Daji was sent by Nuwa.

But Shiyi believed that since he appeared next to Ao Bing, the main storyline of this world must be related to Ao Bing, and the one involved in Ao Bing was Nezha. Perhaps everything would only be known after Nezha was born.

This wait lasted for nine years. When he heard that the wife of the general of Chentang Pass was pregnant, he came here as soon as possible. Ao Bing also began to observe the pregnant woman with great interest.

"I was incubating in the dragon egg for tens of thousands of years, but humans only need ten months to give birth to a child. No wonder the human race was not exterminated despite so many disasters back then." Ao Bing couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the pregnant Mrs. Li.

"The human race has been passed down to this day, relying not only on the ability to reproduce." Shi Yi shook her head. She never thought that the continuation of a race could be achieved solely by the ability to reproduce, and this was especially true for humans.

Ao Bing didn't understand, but he still planned to observe Madam Li. Somehow, he felt that the child in her belly was deeply connected to him. Ao Bing didn't know that the other person was the one who wanted to take his life.

Soon it was the tenth month of Madam Li's pregnancy. Everyone in the Li family was happy, and even Madam Li herself was very cautious. However, she did not expect that when it was time for delivery, there was no movement in her belly.

"I've heard of this before. Some women may take a little longer to get pregnant. It's not a big deal." The old doctor stroked his beard and pretended to be calm.

Are you kidding? Is the old doctor going to say this is a sign of evil? He was also afraid that Li Jing would kill him in a rage, so he could only say something nice.

Fortunately, Li Jing was still able to remain calm and had no intention of killing anyone, so the old doctor was able to leave the Li Mansion safely. Not only did Li Jing and his wife believe what the doctor said, even Ao Bing believed it without a doubt.

"Yes, it's the same for us dragons. Some eggs take a thousand years to hatch, some take ten thousand, and some only take a hundred years."

"Humans don't have such a long gap in birth time. At most it's just a few days." Shi Yi gave some scientific advice, but looking at Ao Bing's eyes, it was obvious that the other party didn't understand.

Two years passed in a flash, and Ao Bing felt that Madam Li would most likely not give birth this year: "Sir, the ten-year agreement is almost up, let's go back to the East China Sea first."

"Okay." Nezha will be born eventually anyway, so it won't matter how soon.

The two wandered all the way to the East China Sea. There was already a long line in front of the Dragon Palace. The moment they saw Shiyi, the eyes of every water creature were full of enthusiasm.

The water dragons accounted for the majority of the people queuing this time, which shows that the dragons are still the most powerful race among the water creatures.

Shiyi continued to look at the treasures in front of her one by one, feeling bored. She had already seen the interesting treasures, and these cookie-cutter treasures were really boring.

“The Dragon King of Jiuwan River presents you, uh, a talking meat ball.” The Prime Minister Turtle, who called out the name, hesitated for a moment.

As soon as he looked at the so-called meat ball in front of him, he had a bad premonition. The next second, the premonition came true, and he saw an old man with a fairy-like appearance coming to the Dragon Palace.

"My disciple, why are you here?" The old man called himself Taiyi Zhenren, and the ball of meat was his disciple Lingzhuzi, and he came to enlighten his disciple.

"Lingzhuzi? Nezha?" Shi Yi suddenly reacted and watched the meat ball turn into a child. Prime Minister Turtle was also stunned.

"What's going on? You actually want to offer a human to the Lord?" This was something that Shi Yi had strictly rejected from the beginning. The last aquatic creature that offered a human had remained in its original form for hundreds of years.

"No, I didn't. I saw a man throw this ball of meat into the water, so I brought it here. I thought he didn't want it, so I brought it here." The Dragon King of Jiuwan River was at a loss. He just picked up something that others didn't want, so why was he scolded?

"Since Lingzhuzi has ended up here, it must be fate." Taiyi Zhenren was very satisfied with Shiyi. This was the man with great luck that his master had mentioned. Lingzhuzi would definitely have a bright future if he followed this man.

"Will the Lingzhu stay in our East China Sea from now on?" Ao Bing held the little Nezha in his arms. He liked the child a little bit. The next second, Nezha bit him. Ao Bing's arm, which was immune to water and fire, was instantly covered in blood.

Taiyi Zhenren was a little embarrassed for a moment, but Ao Bing didn't mind at all: "Wow, with these teeth, you can bite through the Lingxiao Palace without any pressure in the future, right?"

"Shut up!" The Dragon King of the East Sea covered his son's mouth, fearing that he would say something outrageous again.

Taiyi Zhenren pretended not to hear and continued talking to Shiyi: "Since you have already named him Nezha, then let's call him Nezha. It's just right."

Taiyi Zhenren had no intention of letting go, and he taught Nezha skills seriously before leaving the Dragon Palace. Before leaving, he told everyone about Nezha's life story.

When Ao Bing learned that Nezha was the child he had been pregnant with for three years, he instantly became more friendly to him: "I watched you grow up from your mother's belly."

There's nothing wrong with it. Ao Bing was indeed watching Madam Li's belly getting bigger day by day. Nezha was riding on Ao Bing and didn't listen to anything Ao Bing said.

“Nezha, your master is leaving. You must listen carefully to your sister Shiyi and don’t cause trouble.” Taiyi Zhenren gave him a few worried instructions and left reluctantly.

Unexpectedly, Nezha disappeared as soon as Taiyi Zhenren left. Shiyi knew without any calculation that Nezha had gone to cause trouble for his biological father, but Ao Bing didn't know, so he hurried to look for Nezha.

"Sir, Nezha is missing, why don't we go find him as soon as possible?" Ao Bing was anxious.

"It's okay, Nezha has received the true teachings from his master, so he won't be in any danger." Shiyi was very calm, she believed that Nezha still had the strength.

"But, once Nezha goes out, others will be in danger." Ao Bing felt like the sky was falling. He couldn't believe how much mess he would have to clean up by then.

Shi Yi paused. Nezha wouldn't go and kill his father, would he?

The two rushed to Qiantang Pass, but did not see Nezha in Li's house. Instead, they saw Mrs. Li, who was in tears all day long: "Wow, my poor child! He was drowned in the river by his biological father!"

"Don't cry, mother. Dad said that what you gave birth to was not a child, but a monster, so he killed it." Jin Zha tried to defend his father.

"That was the child I gave birth to after three years of pregnancy. How could he be a monster? Shut up!" Mrs. Li could not accept that her eldest son was talking about her dead child like that.

"Madam, I will never leave a monster to harm the people of Chentang Pass," Li Jing said, then left with a flick of his sleeves.

"Sir, Nezha is not at home either, and what the Jiuwan River Dragon King said is true. Nezha was indeed abandoned by Li Jing. The human race is so strange. We didn't even have time to love our cubs, but he actually drowned the cub himself." Ao Bing looked puzzled.

Shi Yi was unable to answer Ao Bing's question. He did not understand the so-called righteousness of the human race. In his eyes, Li Jing was a person who cruelly killed his own child.

Since Nezha was not seen in Li Mansion, Ao Bing had no interest in watching the mess happening in Li Mansion and planned to continue looking for Nezha's trace.

"No need to look for him. Nezha should be on the way to Li's mansion. Instead of searching aimlessly, it's better to wait and see." Shi Yi stopped Ao Bing's actions.

"Sir, why do we have to sit and wait? There are no pigs here." Ao Bing looked puzzled.

Shi Yi was silent, having forgotten that this idiom came from the Warring States Period. It was still the Shang Dynasty, and there was no such idiom: "Let me tell you a story..."

(I inserted a hyperlink, but found that the versions did not match, hahahaha)

After Shiyi finished his story, Ao Bing thought: "So what you mean is that Nezha would pretend to be dead on the pillar next to us? Hey, isn't he too stupid?"

Silence, and still silence. Shi Yi never expected that this dragon had such a rich imagination. If Nezha knew about it, he might really skin Ao Bing alive.

"Is there a possibility that what I meant by this word is that we stay in Li's mansion and wait for Nezha, just like waiting for a rabbit by a tree?"

"Oh~~ this is what you mean, hahaha" Ao Bing smiled awkwardly.

The two men's waiting was successful. Three days later, they saw Nezha, who was exhausted from traveling. However, Nezha was in a very bad condition.

The cute red bellyband embroidered with gold thread and the gold longevity lock were gone, replaced by tattered linen clothes and Nezha's dirty little face.

"Wuuuu, Ao Bing, I want to go back to the East China Sea!" The first words Nezha said when he saw Ao Bing were that he wanted to go back to the East China Sea.

"Why don't you go back by yourself? Also, what's wrong with you?" Ao Bing looked at the dirty Nezha and didn't even have the desire to reach out and hug him.

"Woo woo woo, as soon as I left the East China Sea, I planned to go to Chentangguan to find trouble with my biological father, but I didn't expect to meet a weirdo."

Nezha met a group of people who were offering young boys and girls to the river god. They were short of a boy and happened to see Nezha, so they tricked Nezha, threw him into the river and offered him to the river god.

The river god here was a powerful dragon. When he saw Nezha, he opened his mouth wide and wanted to eat him. Nezha defeated the dragon in no time and even pulled out some of his tendons.

"You don't know, when those people found out that I killed the dragon, their first reaction was to let me die to atone for my sins." Nezha couldn't understand it, as he had clearly done a good deed.

"You won't kill them all, will you?" Ao Bing's first reaction was to kill in anger.

"Of course not, my master taught me to be kind to others, so I gave all my property to them, and they even gave me a gift," Nezha said, releasing a person from his space.

!!!

Ao Bing and Shi Yi were both shocked. Nezha was still saying, "This is the girl who was given to the dragon with me."

"Is a girl also considered a girl at thirteen?" Shiyi was puzzled. In ancient times, boys and girls had to be under seven years old. Even in another era, they had to be under twelve years old, right?

"I don't know. Anyway, they said that Sister Qinghe is a virgin and I am a boy. It's just right to give me to that dragon." Nezha scratched his head. According to Lingzhuzi's memory, wasn't the thirteen-year-old Qinghe a girl?

"I, Qinghe, would like to thank you for saving my life. I beg you to keep me by your side and serve me." The woman recovered from the shock of the sudden change of space, and then knelt on the ground and begged.

Before Shi Yi could say anything, Ao Bing blushed and said shyly, "Sir, please keep her. I think she is quite intelligent and has a good relationship with us."

"If you want to stay, then stay." Shiyi didn't comment. After all, he wasn't the one raising them, and he didn't need to bother teaching them anything.

"Thank you, fairy. Thank you, Immortal Lord," Qinghe kowtowed repeatedly.

Several people unanimously overlooked one thing, whether the dragon had other powerful relatives, so when they came to seek revenge, Nezha fell into the trap without realizing it.

"Why are you waiting for me here?" Nezha was very curious.

"My Lord said that you should wait for something to happen, so he just said that he would wait for you at Li's house," Ao Bing explained.

"What? This is the Li Mansion I'm looking for?" Nezha was shocked, and Ao Bing was even more shocked.

"Don't you know this is the Li Residence? Then why are you here?"

"I don't know. I just came here while walking. Maybe this is what they call fate?" Nezha scratched his head and walked to the gate and knocked.

"Who is it?" The guard opened the door impatiently, but saw no one: "Strange, why is there no one?"

"Could you please lower your head?" Nezha said gritting his teeth. The guard then lowered his head and saw Nezha.

"Where did you come from, you little beggar? Go away, why are you begging in the general's mansion?" The guards started to drive him away.

"Wait!" Mrs. Li came to the door with something in her heart and happened to see Nezha being driven away. Her heart ached and tears flowed down her face involuntarily.

"Child, come to me." Madam Li opened her arms and picked up Nezha, not caring at all about her gorgeous clothes being stained by Nezha.

Nezha just felt very warm in his heart and couldn't help but rub against Madam Li. Although the two did not recognize each other, the love between mother and son was not fake.

"Mother, my child is back!" As soon as Nezha opened his mouth, Madam Li knew that this was her son, and that feeling could not be wrong.

"The young master has finally found his biological mother." Qinghe reacted quickly and gave Nezha a noble identity, but this made Shiyi embarrassed.

"Young Master? Are you my son's maid?" Madam Li looked at Qinghe, who looked a little childish.

"Madam, I am the young master's maid. I have accompanied the young master all the way to find you. The young master has suffered a lot along the way." Qinghe wiped away her tears very appropriately and continued to call her a talented person.

"You are a good one." Madam Li looked at Qinghe with satisfaction, affirmed her behavior, and took Nezha and Qinghe into the mansion.

Shi Yi thought that Madam Li was there, and felt that Nezha would be fine for the time being, so she left Ao Bing to look after Nezha secretly and left. She now roughly guessed the main plot of this world, and she was going to do something interesting.
