The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
" Bashan committed this to memory carefully. Hearing this, he couldn't help but say with difficulty, "Dide Yuanjun's cultivation and attainments now place her at the very pinnacle of Jingping. Apart from figures like Old Hierarch Wei and Crown Prince Youming, who could stand against her? " Granny Zhu glared at him. "If you can't stand against her, you still have to try! " Bashan shrank his neck.
Granny Zhu continued, "Besides them, you also need to be wary of Langwan. . . " Bashan shuddered and hurried toward the door. "Granny, you'd better find someone more capable! Dide Yuanjun is one thing, but Langwan is a God King, a being at the level of a Zun. In all the universe and primeval chaos, apart from a handful of people, who is her match?
" Granny Zhu said hastily, "Don't worry. Langwan is one who has forgotten emotion, and she places the Creator's interests above all.
She won't act recklessly. I'm only worried that if she wants to bear a little Creator with the groom, it will cause trouble in the future. You don't need to watch him closely, only Shen'er. If he can control his belt, there's no problem.
" Libationer Bashan complained bitterly, "If my junior brother can't control his belt, how am I supposed to control it for him?
" Granny Zhu laughed. "It doesn't matter if he can't. At worst, there'll just be a few more cubs to hold.
As for Ling Zun, she has no designs on Shen'er. It's only Moon Zun that I'm not quite certain about. . . " Bashan's face turned ashen, and his legs trembled. Granny Zhu continued, ".
. . But she wouldn't go so far as to snatch the groom. If she did, she'd have to consider her own reputation, wouldn't she?
She needn't be considered. . .
" She thought it over from every angle and drew up a list of those who might cause trouble. Before she knew it, it was deep into the night. Libationer Bashan looked up at the starry sky and saw the stars twinkling.
He laughed, "This sky is strange too. It's clearly the fifteenth, a clear night, yet there's not even a moon.
. . " Granny Zhu suddenly came to her senses.
"Oh no! I forgot her! The moon has vanished, so it must be her! Go find your junior brother at once.
Any later and she'll have spirited him away! " Libationer Bashan also came to his senses and blurted out, "You mean the one on the moon?
This is indeed a serious matter! I'll go find my junior brother right away! " He hurried off, heading straight for Shen Mu's residence.
Before he even reached Shen Mu's dwelling, he saw moonlight rippling there, illuminating the entire estate. Clearly, the moon in the sky above Jingping had slipped down from the heavens without anyone noticing and landed in Shen Mu's residence! Bashan braced himself and barged in, thinking, "No matter what, I can't let the Sword God of the Supreme Emperor ruin this marriage! " He burst into the estate and saw that moon hanging above Shen Mu's courtyard, about ten zhang high. The moon had been refined into a treasure, able to grow or shrink at will, and now it hung there only about a foot square.
Bashan hurried in. There were few servants in Shen Mu's estate, and they had no time to stop him before he pushed past.
Before the main hall, Shen Mu and Bai Qú'er sat on the stone steps below the hall, one with graying temples, the other still like a young maiden. The two were chatting about something or other. When Bashan barged in and saw that both were fully dressed, he felt relieved and bowed.
"Bashan pays his respects to the Sword God of the Supreme Emperor.
Junior Brother, you are about to be married. It is not proper for you to share a room with another woman.
" Shen Mu smiled gently. "That is why Qú'er and I are talking outside the hall.
We have not entered the room. " Bai Qú'er rose and beckoned.
The moon descended, growing larger and larger, until it stopped about a zhang and three or four feet above the ground.
The woman walked into the moon palace without glancing at Bashan.
