Marriage Made In Heaven (4)
The logic seemed to make sense.
Ning Xuemo decided to leave this topic of conversation behind, so she turned to her son instead and said, "All right, let's not talk about this anymore. Nianmo, where else do you want to go? Father and mother will go with you."
Shen Nianmo looked at his parents doubtfully. "Mother, both of you have been acting weird lately. You have been with me almost every day. I have met many of your friends, too." His parents' sudden change of attitude worried him, for they had been extremely kind to him lately.
Shen Jiuli threw his son a look. "Why? Isn't it a good thing?"
"No, it is just that… It feels a little weird."
"I am doing this as a reward for your efforts. I know that you worked hard to overcome the challenges set for you, so I want you to be happy. If you think what I am doing for you is weird, that is fine. We can head home now. I have recently discovered a new array formation; maybe you can help me test it out."
Shen Nianmo took a step backward and pulled Ning Xuemo's hand tightly. "Mother, Nianmo wants to see the wide seas and the ice cliffs, also the buildings of the sea world." He named a few places very quickly.
Ning Xuemo loved her son fondly, so she agreed to all of his requests. Shen Nianmo pulled his mother away and was ready to go. Swiftly, Shen Jiuli pulled him back and demanded, "Boy, I have not agreed to let you go."
Shen Nianmo winked at his father playfully with an adorable smile. "You listen to mother all the time. If mother agrees, it means you agree, too."
Shen Jiuli did not know what to say. His son was right. However, he only listened to his wife because he loved her.
The family left happily, hand in hand.
Caught in a daze, Gu Xijiu watched as the three of them disappeared into the clouds. She suspected that the Divine Lord's response must have an inner meaning. They seemed like they had something unbeknown to Shen Nianmo.
Instead of overthinking, Gu Xijiu dismissed the suspicion immediately. Shen Nianmo was their child. No matter how harsh the truth turns out to be, they surely would not harm him. They loved their child very much.
She drew her attention to the surname of the master of heavenly law, for she had just found out that his surname was 'Di.' What was his full name, then?
On the child's birthday, she would present the box to Little Nianmo to see if he can open it. If he really were the master of heavenly law, her mission would have reached a new milestone. From then on, she would have nothing to do with the child anymore.
The master of heavenly law had reincarnated as Shen Nianmo. He must be carrying some missions with him, so she decided not to stay too close. She did not want to be sacrificed along his journey, so she preferred to stay out of trouble.
Two months went by very quickly. It was the day. It was finally the birthday of the son of a celestial being and a demon.
Fantian Palace was crowded with guests who came to celebrate his birthday. Shen Jiuli and Ning Xuemo had many friends from all over the continent. Almost everyone was present.
Shen Nianmo did not only receive many presents, but he had also found himself ten different masters. All his masters were friends of Shen Jiuli. All were great men.
Shen Jiuli had an indifferent temperament, which was the same for his friends, too. Some of them were obsessed with chess, Kung Fu, array formation, and even alcohol.
Most of the time, these men lived their lives in the most remote places within the three worlds. All of them were eminent from where they came. They appreciated Little Nianmo's talent, despite having strict rules before receiving a disciple.
