Chapter 258: The Song Of Tears!
Chapter 258: The Song Of Tears!
Kun Lun sect,
Currently, a cute little girl around the age of 7 was riding on the back of a giant black dog. The black dog was currently running up toward the peak of a mountain. He was Bony, the Celestial Wolf who fought with the old man, Su Feng[1] in the Chaos Immortal world. After he followed Su Feng here, he was given the title of Dean of the Kun Lun Sect. His only responsibility was to look after the mischievous little Xiuying who was also the only disciple of the Sect until now.
“Grandpa Bony, don’t be in a hurry. Otherwise, it will hurt my butt. ” Little Xiuying said in a sweet voice.
“Okie Dokie, ” the black dog responded. He seemed to have a glimpse of something and thought, “Am I being used by this little girl?” “Nah, she is such a gorgeous and honest little girl. She is just a lively girl. Even the twin Phoenix sisters that everyone fears in the One hundred universes have already become her loyal pets. Just giving her a ride on my back could be considered as giving honor to me. “
“Little Xiuying, I would really like to hear your song. But the two phoenix sisters always make me leave. Um…can you talk to them this time? You know that I am really not a bad guy, right? ” Bony in his black Celestial wolf form spoke in his softest voice.
“Right, Grandpa Bony is nice to Little Xiuying. Since Grandpa arrived in our Sect, you have been giving lift on your fluffy back. Okay, Xiuying agrees. I shall talk to them this time. ” The little girl responded.
Hearing her say that, Bony became very excited and said, “Don’t worry, little Xiuying, Granda shall give your ride every day.”
“I am counting on you, Grandpa Bony.” the Little Girl responded.
“Little Xiuying, don’t you like the beef skewer that I made for you yesterday?” Bony asked suddenly.
“Oh, that beef skewer was the best I have ever had in my life.” The little girl responded lying through her teeth. She knew when exactly was to lie and when not to.
Bony became happier the more he spoke with her. “Well, I shall make your beef skewer from today onward. What do you think, little Xiuying?!” He spoke in a mile-a-minute voice feeling overwhelmingly excited.
“Grandpa Bony is the best!” Little Xiuying lifted her hand and cheered loudly.
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!” The little girl suddenly groaned in pain.
As Bony was a bit excited, he made a wrong footing and stepped over a small rock causing only a little shake but the little girl overexaggerated her reaction.
“Sorry, sorry, sorry, Little Xiuying. It will never happen again.” Bony said briskly.
“It’s okay, grandpa. Little Xiuying understands that it’s not really grandpa’s fault. Instead, increase a little more of my beef skewers next time.”
“Sure, sure, I will make it double. No triple.” Bony said and thought, “This little is so nice to talk to. I am becoming more and more fond of her. Hmm, who cares if she is using me or not, as I am happy to make her happy and see her lovely smile?!”
Then they soon reached the top of the mountain. As soon as they reached the giant Banyan tree, Bony was greeted by the chilly killing intent of the two phoenix birds who were currently perching on the big branches of the Banyan tree. Bony knelt over the ground letting little Xiuying’s landing become easier. The little girl landed on the ground.
“Xin’er, Jin’er, come, come, ” the little girl called them down while waving her hands. The next moment the two giant phoenixes in the tree flew in the air, transformed into two colorful swallows, and perched on her shoulders.
“Good morning, your majesty!!” The two birds greeted her in their sweet voice.
Little Xiuying smiled and caressed their little heads. The two phoenixes showed expressions of glee in their eyes. Their eyes met Bony’s. Now he took on the form of a middle-aged scrawny man. Their eyes suddenly changed to cold ones and glared at him, sending a chill running down his spine.
“Xin’er, Jin’er, don’t be mean to Grandpa Bony. He is really a good person. In addition, he will join us for our song session starting today. ” Little Xiuying further added seeing them glaring coldly at Bony.
Hearing her say that, Bony was all smiles from ear to ear.
Xin’er, the feisty one among the two phoenix sisters snorted, “Hmph!!”
She then spoke to Bony telepathically, “A black Dog, nothing is a goodie! You must have used some means to coax our pure and innocents, her Majesty. But, listen to this, if you ever have any bad intention and try to harm her then the next moment I will barbecue your meat and eat them. Hah, they say that dog meats are the best.” She threatened Bony as she sticked out her very tiny tongue.
It looked very comically to see her acting like this as she was in her swallow form. But it was not the same for Bony. Currently, he was profusely sweating all over his body. He then thought, “Nothing like that will ever happen as I even thought of her as my precious granddaughter. Why would I harm her?” He then wiped the sweat over his face with his sleeves.
Little Xiuying took out a beautiful flute carved with colorful gems from her waist. She then sat on the ground near the foot of the Giant banyan tree, leaned on the tree, and started playing her flutes while closing her eyes. Just as she started playing she happened to see the face of Joey.
She opened her eyes and said, “Papa, I really miss you.” “Today I will play a piece of my father.” She then closed her eyes and started playing a new note totally different from the song she had ever composed with her flute before.
At first, it caused every creatures bird, man, and the beast inside the Kun Lun Mountain ranges that heard it a very heroic feeling, then quickly followed by longing feeling. Two long lines of tears appeared on the faces of everyone hearing her notes exactly the same as the Little Qiuying’s tears.
