" God King Gong Yun pressed no further. "I repay kindness and grudge alike, and I discern them clearly. You saved me from the Ancestral Court, and this time you saved me again from the Heavenly Court — two rescues. This is the first repayment of my debt; in days to come I will repay it a second time, and after that the account is squared. " Shen Mu said with feeling: "The God King's divine consciousness is mighty; you need only use force, and you could learn every secret of mine from my consciousness.
Yet you did not raise a hand. Do the God Kings of ancient times possess the noble virtue of a gentleman as well?
" "Who says a gentleman can only be a man? " Gong Yun sneered. "What I loathe about you men is that you are all benevolence and righteousness on your lips while thieving and whoring behind your backs — so sanctimonious, so sickening!
" Shen Mu felt a little guilty. "I do not mean you. I have had ill fortune with people; I mean the Grand Emperor and Heavenly Emperor Taichu.
" Gong Yun, having healed him, rose and said: "I must go.
The depletion of your divine consciousness is great; though the wound is healed, its cultivation cannot be restored in a moment. Cultivate well yourself, and until you recover, do not rely on force and pick fights, lest you never recover at all.
" Shen Mu nodded.
"What does Master Gong intend to do?
" "You call me Master Gong? " Gong Yun could not hold back a laugh. "Why call me Master? " Shen Mu said: "When one meets a gentleman, one calls him Master.
You are a gentleman, and deserve the title.
" Gong Yun shook her head and laughed: "I am hardly such a goody-goody gentleman either.
This fleshly body has poor aptitude; I may set her free, though I will wipe away her memories of this time.
I will choose another of excellent aptitude to be born through.
" She raised her head and gazed at the starry sky beyond the heavens over the Heavenly River, and said softly: "There are no Creators left in this world, and I too should cast off the glory of a Creator and live my life well. In those years I was one of the Three Kings; in my rebirth hereafter I shall also be the mightiest being in the world! " She broke into a smile: "If in the future you meet a woman famed throughout the world, holding great power, and surnamed Gong — then that will be me!
I will cast off the past, embrace this age, and become the brightest star among the brilliant host of this starry sky! " "Farewell, Venerable Mu! " Her figure vanished in an instant. Shen Mu rose and walked out from the halo behind Yan'er's head, but she was nowhere to be seen.
"A truly remarkable woman. The Grand Emperor was not worthy of her, nor was the Heavenly Emperor. " Shen Mu marveled. Yan'er said joyfully: "Young Master, is your injury quite healed?
" Shen Mu smiled: "My life is in no danger; only, for some time to come I cannot use my divine consciousness, and must rest.
Do not disturb me, and all will be well.
Where is Dragon Pi?
" Yan'er said: "Fatty Dragon was dragged off by Crown Prince Youming, saying they are preparing to celebrate this victory.
Fatty Dragon also said the Nether Lord means no good, that he intends to steal the Azure Sky Canopy of Colored Glass, and will likely make his move during the celebration. Young Master. .
. " She looked at Shen Mu, hesitating whether to go on. Shen Mu understood her mind, and after a moment's thought said: "You two decide for yourselves.
Crown Prince Youming is an honest man, and honest men do not live to the end of Dragon Han.
" Yan'er was startled. She walked out of the room, closed the door behind her, sought out Dragon Qilin, and said: "The Young Master says that honest men do not live to the end of Dragon Han.
" Dragon Qilin said gravely: "I understand. Rest easy, I know my measure.
" Yan'er looked at him, then burst out laughing: "Fatty Dragon, after my mother is reborn, will you come and propose marriage?
