The Otherworldly God

Chapter 108

As the saying goes, you dream about what you think about during the day. Ever since listening to the conversation between Le Zhengli and Le Zheng Yuhua, Bai Zhi couldn't help but think of things that happened many years ago. It was not a happy past.

In a daze, Bai Zhi heard someone shouting, "Go, go quickly."

The dream instantly pulled her back into the past. The incident that made her an orphan and made her lose her tribe seemed to be the beginning of everything.

"I don't want to, Dad. I don't want to leave you, Dad."

"Walk."

Yun Muxiang pulled her daughter Bai Zhi and ran all the way to escape from the Bai family. She looked back countless times and could not see the shadow of the pursuers, but she could hear the sound of them chasing her, and she did not dare to stop for a moment.

Baizhi didn't know how long she had to run, but she was really tired as a child, and she yelled that she wanted to rest and go back to find her father. Yun Muxiang talked to her for a long time but she didn't understand, and she started crying, so she slapped her in anger.

Bai Zhi, who had never been beaten before, turned around and ran, saying bluntly that the person in front of her was not her mother.

Yun Muxiang looked at her hands and couldn't help crying, but she had no choice. In order to survive, she had no choice. After thinking for a while, she went over to pick up Bai Zhi and ran away, no matter how she screamed.

Yun Muxiang was already exhausted, but she still had to run while carrying Baizhi. Finally, she ran out of energy and fell down. Both mother and daughter slipped a distance.

The pursuers were right behind her. She ignored the pain, stepped forward, covered Bai Zhi's mouth, and hid aside.

The pursuers were getting closer and closer. Yun Muxiang had no choice but to make the worst-case scenario plan, a mother's plan.

Before she could go out to attract the attention of the pursuers, a hand reached out from behind and covered her mouth, and the mother and daughter were carried away from behind. Yun Muxiang struggled desperately, and later found out that it was someone from Taohua Valley.

"It's Muxiang indeed. The high priest asked us to pick you up."

"High Priest?"

Bai Zhi looked at her mother, her eyes filled with tears, not knowing why.

"Who is the high priest?"

"Is this your daughter?"

"Yes, Bai Zhi."

"You're all so old. Come on, you must be exhausted, let's go back to Peach Valley."

Yun Muxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to Taohua Valley with her tribesmen. It was already daybreak and the place still looked the same.

The peach blossoms inside and outside the Peach Blossom Valley were in full bloom, and the tribesmen were busy collecting nectar. When they saw her come back, they all greeted her, as if they all knew she would come back.

Baizhi was sleeping soundly on the back of a tribe member. When she heard the hustle and bustle, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up to look.

The sight of Peach Blossom Valley opened her eyes wide. She had never seen such a beautiful place.

"Mother, where is this?"

"This is the place where my mother was born and raised, Peach Blossom Valley, which I always told you about."

"Is this Peach Blossom Valley?"

"Ah."

Baizhi struggled to get down, and the tribesmen let her go. She happily ran to the honey collectors and asked them curiously what they were doing.

"It's been almost ten years since you left without me noticing."

"Yes, time flies by so fast. If Bai Zhi hadn't grown up in front of me day by day, I might not have felt this way."

"There is no time in Peach Blossom Valley."

Yun Muxiang was stunned. Only then did she remember that everyone in Taohua Valley was immortal and almost everyone was frozen at the age of eighteen. Time seemed to not exist here, but he accurately said the time he left.

"Xuanming, you just said that the high priest asked you to come and save us, mother and daughter?"

"The high priest saw that you were in trouble and asked us to wait there. Sure enough, you showed up."

At that time, Bai Zhi had no idea that when Xuan Ming was waiting for them, he was anxiously worried that they would not come, and he wanted to find them but didn't know where to look.

"Mother, who is the high priest?"

Baizhi ran over and asked, but Yunmuxiang did not answer. Instead, she looked towards the eye-catching tall tower in the center of Peach Blossom Valley.

"Zhi'er, follow me."

Baizhi followed her all the way to the bottom of the tower. It was a simple wooden tower with no door at the bottom and went straight up.

Just as Bai Zhi was about to touch the wall, a hunchbacked old man suddenly appeared, and she was so scared that she quickly hid behind her mother.

"Grandma Sumu."

Her mother seemed very respectful to her. When she saw her mother looking at her again, Bai Zhi hid inside for a while, then poked her head out curiously.

"This little girl looks a lot like her father."

Yun Muxiang knew that her husband and even the entire Bai family were in danger, and she couldn't help but shed a tear.

"The Bai family is very nice to me."

"That's fine, that's fine."

She just wanted to express that her husband was not like those people who let her down and hurt her, and that she did not trust the wrong person.

Granny Sumu smiled kindly, as if she knew everything.

"Muxiang came here specially to thank the high priest."

Su Mu looked at the top of the tower.

"No need to thank, just be grateful. The high priest will see that you are in trouble. It is also destined by heaven. This is your fate."

"Then Muxiang will take her leave first."

Su Mu nodded and watched the mother and daughter leave. Bai Zhi couldn't help but look back. She had turned from an old woman into a young and beautiful girl. Bai Zhi opened her mouth in surprise.

She tried to tell her mother, but she was no longer in front of the tower.

Baizhi lived with Yunmuxiang in Taohua Valley for a year. She had always longed for the tower and wanted to see the high priest who lived in the tower.

I once heard her mother say that the high priestess was the greatest person, and without her, there would be no Peach Blossom Valley. She could see the future and the past of people, and her healing skills were the best in the valley.

She often went down to the tower to look around, and Granny Sumu would often appear and talk to her. Looking at her wrinkled face, what happened that day seemed like an illusion.

"Grandma Sumu, the high priest has been living up there alone. Isn't she lonely? Doesn't she want to come down and play with us?"

"She's waiting for someone, so how can she be lonely?"

"I don't understand. I'm also waiting for someone, my father, grandparents, and my cousins. I miss them so much, and I often feel alone and lonely."

Grandma Sumu always smiles kindly.

"That's different."

"Why is it different?"

"Because she has been waiting for that person, just waiting and believing, without thinking about anything else, including playing, so she is actually very happy and not lonely at all. Having hope and looking forward to it makes people happier than having no hope, isn't it?"

Bai Zhi couldn't understand what she meant at the time, so she shook her head and said, "I don't understand."

She raised her head and looked into the distance, her face seemed full of worries, worries that were difficult to express in words.

"When you grow up and experience more, you will understand."

"Ah."

Although Bai Zhi responded quickly and vigorously, she did not understand the true meaning of "growing up" and "experienced more things" at that time. She did not know what growing up meant, what experience meant, and even less what understanding meant. She just thought it was an encouragement to herself.
