The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
" Shen Mu was startled and said with a solemn face, "Godking, that is exactly why I prefer that pool of water.
I am only three; even though the Godking is so beautiful and alluring, I harbor no improper thoughts whatsoever.
" Godking Langwan showed a faint smile and walked on. "You need not be afraid. So long as you have our clan's interests at heart, I will not do anything to you. After all, you truly are the Sacred Infant of the prophecy.
" Shen Mu hurried to catch up. "The Godking is injured? Is the wound serious?
Who wounded the Godking? I am well versed in medicine too. If the Godking does not mind, she can take off her clothes and I will treat the wound.
" "In the Far Shore, the only one who can wound me is Emperor Kai, Shen Ye," Godking Langwan said. "He wounded me, but he fared no better. When he returns this time, he will have to lie abed for several days before he recovers.
As for my wound, you cannot heal it; only this pool's water can.
" She looked somewhat bleak. "But sooner or later this pool will be used up. If I am wounded again then, there will be no cure.
" Shen Mu hesitated, unsure whether he should ask for some Hongmeng Primordial Essence. "If you like it, go and take some for yourself later," Godking Langwan said, seeming to see through his thoughts.
"This pool of water was never mine to begin with; it belongs to all the clan.
I merely took it for myself.
You are the Sacred Infant—you may use the pool as well. " Shen Mu gave thanks. Godking Langwan said, "You came to me not really to ask after my wounds, nor to seek instruction so that I might impart to you the divine arts of divine sense.
Your purpose was simply to sound me out about Emperor Kai Shen Ye's injuries.
" Shen Mu's heart went cold with alarm. Godking Langwan pushed through flowers and brushed past willows as she walked on. "You are bound to Shen Ye by blood. I can sense that the blood in your veins is connected to his divine blood.
The reason you came to the Far Shore was not to seek out us Creators who dwell here in seclusion—you came to find him.
" She stopped, turned, and looked at Shen Mu. "You became the Creators' Sacred Infant in a daze, and you think it an opportunity. That is why you chose to stay, and did not leave with Shen Ye. " Her face was calm.
Shen Mu studied her features closely but truly could not tell what thoughts hid beneath that lovely face. "Quite right. Emperor Kai came looking for me, and after I refused him, he left in a rage and fought you.
" Shen Mu said frankly, "To tell the truth, I hold a considerable position in the outside world. This time I entered the Great Void indeed to seek the Land of No Sorrow.
Never did I expect that by chance I would instead come among the enemies of the Land of No Sorrow, and still less did I expect that I would become the Sacred Infant. But what I least expected of all is that Godking Langwan would be so beautiful and so clever.
How does the Godking intend to deal with me? " Godking Langwan turned away once more and walked on. "You are the Sacred Infant—how would I deal with you? Only when you bring harm to my clan will I do away with you and fashion another Sacred Infant. " Shen Mu shivered. Just then he felt a familiar presence summoning him, and he could not help quickening his steps.
Godking Langwan smiled. "You feel it? " Shen Mu resisted the urge to follow the lure onward and asked suspiciously, "What is ahead?
" "The Taichu Primeval Stone—that is, the Ancestral Spirit Realm," Godking Langwan said as she walked on.
She smiled.
"Ahead is the entrance to the Ancestral Spirit Realm.
" Shen Mu followed her; the summons grew stronger and stronger.
"The Creators who forged the Far Shore brought with them some fragments of the Taichu Primeval Stone.
These fragments were originally set in the Supreme Emperor's forehead, and later were shattered.
They collected a portion of the fragments.
