The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
For those two little sluts to come here—we'll have to find a way to kill them. Yuxiu, the Divine King, and Yan'er cannot die; those two sisters must die on the same day!
Last time I could borrow Mother Earth's hand.
Whose hand can I borrow this time? A pity Luo Wushuang isn't here. And that white cat—it rather resembles the cat called Little Seven held in Consort Yan's arms.
.
. " As he was thinking, Emperor Yanxiu's voice came over, laughing: "The Jingping Imperial Tutor has come back!
" Shen Mu stepped forward and bowed.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty. " Emperor Yanxiu hurriedly took hold of both his hands and laughed.
"The Jingping Imperial Tutor has worked hard outside the court.
It has been nearly a month since you returned to the capital, yet you have had no time to come home. This is my fault, keeping the Jingping Imperial Tutor from rest. " Her words carried a note of reproach toward Shen Mu, saying that he had been back this long but still had not come to see her. Taking his hand, she led him toward the courtyard, laughing, "Your Majesty, I had only just found a foothold in the Heavenly Court. The hardships along the way are beyond description.
This time, returning home, the closer I came, the more timid my heart—the closer I drew to those I care about, the more fearful I became.
That is why I came late.
" Emperor Yanxiu looked at him, the rims of her eyes reddening. "I know all of it. " Inside the Jingping Imperial Tutor's residence, Gongsun Yan came toward them carrying a watering pitcher.
Emperor Yanxiu hurriedly released his hand.
Gongsun Yan very seriously poured a little water over Shen Mu's head, then observed his head with great solemnity. Seeing that Shen Mu still had not sprouted, she could not help sighing. Shen Mu had long been accustomed to her behavior, and laughed, "Yan'er, this trip did bring you something nice, called Primordial Chaos Liquid.
In a little while I'll water you too.
" Gongsun Yan was delighted. Emperor Yanxiu cast her gaze over, laughing, "Has the Jingping Imperial Tutor brought me any treasures as well? " "The great cosmos, the vast rivers and mountains—these are what I have brought for Your Majesty. "
