The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The river's winds were fierce and its waves swift; the long river stretched on and on, its end nowhere in sight, and all that could be seen was countless living beings struggling in the river, dying, being destroyed.
The golden ship halted.
Shen Mu and his wife waited a moment, and a dao fruit flew out from the Long River of Chaos. Lady Nan Xiang said to Shen Mu, "Young Master, my lady, the Fourth Young Master says the two of you may cross the river, and that he will not block you. But he can guarantee only that he himself will not act. Whether others act is no concern of his.
" Shen Mu bowed in thanks.
"My thanks to you, Nan Xiang.
" "You are too kind. " Nan Xiang returned the salute from within the dao fruit. "I will lead the way for the Young Master.
" When the World-Ferrying Golden Ship entered the Long River of Chaos, Ling Yuxiu looked on closely, and saw the dao fruit suddenly unravel as if its silk were being drawn away.
The woman within stretched her limbs, and stepped out of the dao fruit. The dao chains and dao patterns of the fruit transformed into a great robe of rainbow feathers, which draped itself over her, most splendid to behold. Lady Nan Xiang gathered the robe over her breast, leaving only a patch of snowy white, and smiled. "I had never heard the Young Master mention that he had a wife.
" Ling Yuxiu said with a smile, "We were only recently married.
Not long after my husband and I were wed, he destroyed the Heavenly Court.
" Lady Nan Xiang was astonished.
"So the lady married the Young Master in order to destroy the Heavenly Court. " Ling Yuxiu smiled. "We are thinking of having a child.
My husband said he wished to come to the Miro Palace to see our teacher.
The round trip takes about two years, and by the time we reach the Miro Palace the child will just be born. Perfect timing, in fact, to ask our teacher to name it.
" Nan Xiang felt a chill in her heart, and said no more. That he had married and then destroyed the Heavenly Court showed that Shen Mu held certain victory, and could therefore take a wife.
Now that Shen Mu meant to have a child, did that mean he was already confident enough to destroy the Miro Palace?
