The End Times as a Song

Chapter 75 A Good Lesson

"No, Zheng Shang dares not...! Zheng Shang only hopes that Emperor Yuan Shun can spare this punishment, considering that the God of the End Times also has divine blood."

Zheng Shang felt uneasy under Emperor Yuan Shun's gaze. She dared not look him in the eye and instinctively lowered her head. She clenched the hem of her skirt and reluctantly responded to Emperor Yuan Shun's words.

"Hmph...! What a zither dealer! He's got some nerve! Guards...!"

Emperor Yuan Shun saw in Zheng Shang's eyes a resolute unwillingness to be subordinate to the gods. He felt that Zheng Shang had offended his divine power, so he vented all his dissatisfaction on Zheng Shang.

"If Emperor Yuanshun thinks Zheng Shang is wrong, then please punish Zheng Shang!"

Zheng Shang had successfully drawn Emperor Yuan Shun's attention to her. Her Lin Moshi, her Nan'er, should be safe this time. She bravely raised her head, a satisfied smile on her lips, and looked at Lin Moshi with eyes that seemed to be bidding him farewell.

"No... Mother...! No...!"

When Lin Moshi saw that Zheng Shang's expression was not right, he immediately sensed something was wrong. He panicked, pushed aside the divine weapon, and knelt down in front of Emperor Yuan Shun.

"Father, I have failed to find the source of the gods, which has disappointed you. It is my fault. I failed to find the source of the gods sooner and become the successor of the ancient gods, which has disappointed you. I will take responsibility for my actions. Please punish me, Father."

Lin Moshi knelt before Emperor Yuan Shun, listing all the mistakes he had made. He was trying to salvage something, at least to salvage the situation.

"No, child, God-King...!"

Zheng Shang tried to speak up to stop Lin Moshi, but was interrupted by her.

“Mother, please stop talking…! I know what you’re thinking…? Thank you for always thinking of me all these years.”

Lin Moshi looked at Zheng Shang, his eyes no longer cold, but full of tenderness. His words directly struck a chord with Zheng Shang's true feelings. After speaking his innermost thoughts, he turned his head away.

"The God of the Apocalypse, I...!"

Zheng Shang hesitated, then looked at Emperor Yuan Shun, hoping he would speak up for her. Emperor Yuan Shun remained silent.

"Thank you...! Without you, I probably wouldn't be alive today...! Listen to me today...!"

Lin Moshi looked at Zheng Shang and continued to thank him for his meticulous care over the years.

"Nan'er...!"

With tears welling in her eyes, Zheng Shang called out the name of a human from the desolate world. She choked up, unable to speak. She was afraid, she was terrified, she was afraid that the person she had fought so hard to protect would be gone today, and she was powerless to stop it.

"Interesting, very interesting. A mother's love...? Or is it a charade...? Since you both want to be punished, then let's do it together!"

Emperor Yuan Shun, unable to bear it any longer, interrupted their conversation with a mocking tone.

"Divine soldiers and guards of the Divine Forest Palace! Heed my command! Take Lin Moshi and Zheng Shang to the Heavenly Punishment Palace for punishment...!"

Emperor Yuan Shun ordered that Lin Moshi and Zheng Shang be sent to the Heavenly Punishment Palace to be punished.

"Divine soldiers and guards, heed my command...!"

The divine soldiers guarding the gates of the Divine Forest Hall immediately rushed in to escort Lin Moshi and Zheng Shang away.

The two rabbits hiding in the shadows among the orchids were getting restless.

"Oh no...! Father Emperor, he's sending Brother Doomsday to the Heavenly Punishment Palace!"

The white rabbit Wu Zheyu jumped around anxiously, preparing to transform into Wu Zheyu.

"Ayu, don't be impulsive, calm down. Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

The gray rabbit, Chengfeng, stopped the white rabbit, Wuzheyu, and reminded her not to forget what she had promised him before coming in.

"What did I promise you? Let me go...?"

Wu Zheyu couldn't contain himself; his fiery temper flared up and he became fierce towards Chengfeng.

"I won't let go...!"

Chengfeng knew the situation could be serious or minor, and if he let Wu Zheyu in, he didn't know what would happen. Therefore, he dared not let Wu Zheyu in to cause trouble.

"You damned Chengfeng, if you don't let go of me, I'll bite you to death...!"

Once Wu Zheyu's fiery temper flares up, it's uncontrollable.

"Ouch...! That hurts...!"

Wu Zheyu bit Chengfeng's little hand directly, and Chengfeng cried out in pain. Taking advantage of the chaos, Wu Zheyu jumped up and transformed into a human, appearing in front of Emperor Yuanshun.

"Father, wait...! Don't send Brother Doomsday to the Heavenly Punishment Palace."

Wu Zheyu rushed forward and stopped the divine soldiers guarding him, then turned to Emperor Yuan Shun and said...

"Ayu...! What are you doing here...?"

Lin Moshi looked at Wu Zheyu with a puzzled expression.

"Brother, let's talk later...!"

Wu Zheyu looked at Lin Moshi with a melancholy expression.

"Ayu...! What are you doing at the Divine Forest Palace...?"

Emperor Yuan Shun looked at Wu Zheyu with a puzzled expression.

"Ayu, you bit me again...! It hurts so much...!"

Chengfeng diverted everyone's attention, transformed into a human, waved his little hands, and howled loudly.

"Riding the wind...!"

Emperor Yuan Shun cast a questioning glance at Cheng Feng, who was standing to the side, and didn't react for a moment.

"Riding the wind, I pay my respects to Emperor Yuan Shun...!"

When Chengfeng saw Emperor Yuanshun, he tactfully knelt down and bowed to him.

"Insolence...! Chengfeng, how dare you trespass into the Divine Forest Palace without permission...?"

Emperor Yuan Shun calmed himself down and angrily questioned Chengfeng.

"Emperor Yuan Shun, please calm your anger! Chengfeng dares not...!"

Seeing Yuan Shun's fury, Cheng Feng silently lowered his head and begged for forgiveness.

"Father, please don't blame Chengfeng...! It's because your daughter misses you...!"

Seeing that Chengfeng was about to anger Emperor Yuanshun and be punished because of her impulsiveness, Wu Zheyu immediately turned around and walked towards Emperor Yuanshun. She took Emperor Yuanshun's hand and acted coquettishly, trying to get away with it.

"Hmph...! Ayu! Don't try to fool your father. I think you miss your brother from the apocalypse more than your father...?"

Emperor Yuan Shun pinched Wu Zheyu's rosy cheeks, affectionately revealing her secret thoughts.

"Father, don't you believe me? I really, really miss you...! If it weren't for the divine soldiers guarding the door and not letting me in, I could have seen you. I had no choice but to come in this way to see you."

Wu Zheyu, looking aggrieved, clung to Emperor Yuanshun's hand and explained to him. Clearly, Emperor Yuanshun was charmed by Wu Zheyu's act; his previously unpleasant expression brightened with a newfound joy.

"Father Emperor...? Father Emperor, do you miss A-Yu...?"

Wu Zheyu pressed her advantage, continuing to coax and question Emperor Yuan Shun.

"Speak! What do you want Father Emperor to do for you this time?"

Emperor Yuan Shun was directly captured by Wu Zheyu, and his attitude softened considerably.

"I knew it! Father Emperor is the best! Father Emperor is so good to me...! Father Emperor, could you cancel the punishment for Brother Mo Shi?"
