The Otherworldly God

Chapter 169

Le Zhengzhi learned that Bai Zhi had recognized his child, but did not tell him about it, saying that it was not the right time to recognize him. Le Zhengzhi was very upset about this and thought that this was Bai Zhi's revenge and blamed himself for ignoring her feelings for many years.

The next day, Bai Zhi proposed to go to Fangyuan with Le Zhengzhi. Le Zhengzhi took the opportunity to ask her about the child. Bai Zhi answered unhappily and said that she wanted to go but didn't need him to take her. In the end, Le Zhengzhi admitted his mistake and obediently accompanied her.

When they arrived at the gate of Fangyuan, Bai Zhi's hesitation made Le Zhengzhi suddenly think that his child was Le Zheng Yuhua.

He quickly denied it. The age difference was one thing, but it was really ridiculous for his own child to end up in Le Zheng Yangyan's hands.

"Madam, do you want to talk to Miss Mu Xin in person?"

"I still have some doubts in my mind, I want to confirm it myself."

"More? It seems that Madam has indeed guessed it."

Bai Zhi didn't give him the chance to ask her and went over to knock on the door. Soon someone came to open the door. It was Yun Xiu.

She smiled and saluted them, saying that Mu Xin had been waiting for a long time. Le Zhengzhi couldn't help but say something in his heart.

Bai Zhi looked at Yun Xiu and was stunned for a moment. It was not until Yun Xiu invited her again that she came back to her senses and followed her inside.

Le Zhengzhi didn't expect that he was not among the people invited by Mu Xin, so when they arrived at the Sand Sea, he couldn't believe Yun Xiu's blunt request for him to stay.

"Master Zhi, please wait here for a moment. This son-in-law, Miss Shui Ling, and Mr. Qi Ming will be here soon."

When talking about Le Zheng Qiming, Bai Zhi's eyes flickered.

"What do you mean? Your lady has no intention of seeing me?"

"No, it's not like that. Miss is also concerned about the uncle and his family."

"They are right. You have wasted a lot of their time. You can't make it up even if you don't eat or sleep. How can you still be lazy?"

"Madam is right. I will wait for them then."

Le Zhengzhi knew that she was trying to get rid of him, so he had to walk away in frustration, watching Yun Xiu take her away without looking back.

Yunxiu brought Baizhi to Muxin, who was lying on a rattan chair resting. Yunxiu went over and gently woke her up.

"Why is the young lady asleep again at this moment?"

"I didn't want to either. I leaned against him and before I knew it, I..."

When Mu Xin saw Bai Zhi, she stood up to greet her. Bai Zhi hurried over to support her and took the opportunity to feel her pulse. Mu Xin knew it and did not refuse.

"Her body..."

"I'm sorry to have made Master's wife worried."

Now that it was known, Bai Zhi did not deny it.

"Your disease has been there since your mother's womb, and it is difficult to cure. Even if we use the medical skills of Peach Blossom Valley, it may not be able to cure it."

She deliberately mentioned Peach Blossom Valley to see her reaction.

"Strong power hurts both the body and the soul, and it hurts the very foundation. I am just supporting others, but it is much better now than before."

"Why don't I understand you?"

"Master's wife, you came here today, isn't it for my health?"

Her meaning was very clear, which was to ask him not to ask any more questions, and Bai Zhi was tactful.

"Yes, Azhi told me something last night. I still have some doubts in my heart. I hope Miss Mu Xin can answer some of them for me."

"About the child?"

Bai Zhi first shook her head, then nodded.

"I have roughly guessed who my son is. Back then, my husband and I replaced the child of the head of the family with our own son. For so many years, we never thought that there would be other people who would do the same. When I heard what Ah Zhi said, I firmly believed that what Miss Mu Xin said was true, and soon I thought of him, my child... Miss Mu Xin, you are the high priest of Taohua Valley, right? And Granny Sumu?"

Bai Zhi was looking at herself. Yun Xiu couldn't deny it, but she felt in her heart that her intuition was very accurate.

"It's great that you're still alive."

"That was also earned at the cost of someone else's life."

"Bai Zhi, do you know the true identities of everyone in Peach Blossom Valley?"

"I don't know. Although my mother told me something, I never understood it."

"What did she say?"

"Mother said that I was a gift from the high priest. This is what makes her different from everyone else. But she didn't say what the difference was."

"That's because your mother's sincerity touched me." Mu Xin stood up and pulled Bai Zhi to sit at the table. Yun Xiu poured her some tea. Mu Xin continued, "Whether it's the high priest or Mu Xin, they are not me...myself.

I have no real body, only a wisp of soul. For thousands of years, I have been living by relying on other people.

About a thousand years ago, I got the body of a herbalist. She fell and died while collecting herbs, right in Peach Blossom Valley.

There were herbs all over the cliffs. It was not her first time here, but an accident still happened after all.

After obtaining her body, Yunxiu and I set up a barrier in the valley and settled down there. After living there for a long time, the flowers and plants around us inevitably became stained with spiritual energy and had some consciousness, like little elves.

We just felt lonely and didn’t have the heart to deprive them of their consciousness, so out of a moment of compassion, Peach Blossom Valley was formed.”

"So, are mother and the others considered demons?"

"No, they are more like flower elves, but not really. In the enchantment of Peach Blossom Valley, they rely on the peach blossoms cultivated by my spiritual power to live and maintain their immortality. But once they leave Peach Blossom Valley and lose the peach nectar, they will age and die at a speed visible to the naked eye. Some may die in less than a day, and some may die in a few years. I am not sure. At least, I can be sure that there are only three of us left in Peach Blossom Valley."

"Why am I fine?"

"That's because of your mother. In fact, everyone in Taohua Valley knows all this very well, so it is impossible for them to interact with outsiders. Moreover, if the matter of healing magic is known to outsiders, it will only bring disaster upon oneself.

Back then, your father accidentally passed through the barrier, and the people of the valley would not tolerate him. Your mother insisted on protecting him, and the young lady finally couldn't help herself. In addition, the young lady saw your future self, so she allowed your father to stay.

Later, your mother came to ask the young lady to give birth to a child for your father. Even if there was divine punishment in the future, she was willing to bear it.

Having said that, and because you two are already destined to be mother and daughter, that’s why I helped your mother.”

"No wonder everyone says I'm a gift from God and dotes on me." Bai Zhi cried for a while, wiped her tears, and asked, "Qi Ming, is he my son?"

"Yes."

Mu Xin answered straightforwardly.

"No wonder, when I first saw him, I felt very close to him. He is indeed my son."

Bai Zhi cried with joy, and Mu Xin and Yun Xiu let her cry. At this moment, Mu Xin couldn't help but think of her mother, whose appearance had become very blurry.

"Whether you admit it or not, it's up to you. I'm just an outsider."
