Chapter 36: Breaking the News

"I didn't give Ah Yue a piece of gold!"

Zhongli Meiyi puffed out her bun face and glanced at Mu Tianxing who was sitting beside her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

"I just worked hard to pull Ah Yue to such a big point little by little - that's right, it's literally 'pulling' big!"

Mu Tianxing immediately looked at Mu Yue with grief.

"Poor child, it hurts, doesn't it?"

Mu Yue, who was messy in the wind, snorted for a long time, but didn't say anything.

And Ding Qin beside him had already covered his stomach and began to roll on the ground with a smile without an image.

"Don't listen to Mother's nonsense! Actually, my father, it's true that I'm Mu Yue, but I'm - Mu Yue from the future!"

「…… That's a forbidden thing for the future or something."

"You're on stage, Father."

"Ahem......

Mu Tianxing clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed, his eyes full of surprise.

"Are you really Ah Yue from the future?"

"That's right!"

"And what are you here for? Kill you, son, and I'll verify the 'grandmother paradox'?"

"I've been born on this plane, okay, and why are your thoughts so curious, hey, no matter how you say it, that kind of thing is impossible, why didn't I find out when I was a child, my father, you're such an unobtrusive guy, hey!"

Paper fan triple hit.

INTERVIEWER Today's paper fan appearance rate seems to be a bit high.

However, Zhongli Meiyi didn't expect his father, Mu Tianxing, to accept the fact that he was from the future so easily.

"So, this kid over here...... Dingqin?"

"Huh? Father, you recognize it at a glance?"

"Hmph, no matter what I say, it's Mu Tianxing!"

Mu Tianxing smirked.

"I didn't expect that Ding Qin would be able to transform into a ...... Hey, Ah Yue, you always explain, what does it feel like to be on the sword? Can you stand it?"

"Your middle-aged uncle with a mouth full of yellow jokes is definitely not the father I remember! Say! You've got a few bones left from my father!?"

"Yikes! Has the honey been eaten!?"

Zhongli Miyi stepped back in horror.

"Doesn't that mean that this uncle has Ah Yue's flesh and blood of your father in his body!?"

「……………… Good hunting for curiosity QAQ"

Mu Tianxing pulled his hair frantically, and then slapped it on the tatami mat.

"Alright, don't make any trouble. Ah Yue, what are you going to do in the future? It's not really for some kind of curiosity, is it?"

I'm here to ask when you're going to die—

Of course, it is impossible to say this sentence directly.

"Ahem, Father,...... You...... You know the curse of our house, right?"

"Ah...... Yes."

Mu Tianxing replied very calmly, looking at his expression without any sadness or pain in it, as if he calmly accepted this fate.

"So...... Father, how old are you this year?"

"Oh! Twenty-four years old."

After a pause, Mu Tianxing said again-

"I'm forever a twenty-four-year-old man!"

I'm going to die! You're going to die if you say that!

A smile flashed in Mu Tianxing's eyes, he clapped his hands and turned his head to look at Zhongli Meiyi.

"Miyi-chan, can you please take Ding Qin out first?"

"Huh? What are you going to do? I said in advance that Ah Yue's chrysanthemum must not be given to you, and even if you want to give it, let Mengzhu's girl come first!"

That's enough, my father doesn't pay attention to it, why did my mother become so dirty after seeing my father!

"Ahem...... It's not what you think, I'm just going to give Ah Yue some life guidance."

"Really?"

"Really!"

「……」

After hesitating for a while, Zhongli Meiyi still went out with Ding Qin.

After only Mu Yue and Mu Tianxing were left in the meditation room, Mu Tianxing laughed.

"Look at Ah Yue, you seem to have misunderstood something...... Well, let me elaborate, this forever twenty-four is not a casual thing to talk about - in fact, many years ago, I tried to make my body stay at the level of twenty-four forever, and this is the real reason why I have been able to live until now."

Mu Yue's eyes widened.

"Looks like you've discovered this strange place - I did live for more than twenty-five years, but because my body was stuck in a state of twenty-four, I avoided death, but it was only temporary."

"But—why...... When I was about to ask my mother about this, I felt like the whole world had stopped time, and where did the power that stopped me from telling the truth come from?"

Mu Tianxing lowered his head and said "um".

"Ah Yue, you can perceive that I have indeed survived for more than twenty-five years, which means that my plan has been partially successful...... Hold out your hand."

Although it was strange why his father didn't explain his problem, Mu Yue still stretched out his left hand.

「…… Right hand."

"Ahem!"

After switching to his right hand, Mu Yue saw Mu Tianxing grabbing his wrist.

Immediately afterward, a warm current entered the body from the wrist part.

「…… Yes, yes, it didn't work in vain."

"Father, what are you going to say?"

After Mu Tianxing let go of himself, Mu Yue withdrew his right hand and asked.

「…… There's no hurry for now, you should have already met that one, right?"

"Who?"

"My ancestor of the Mu family, Emperor Yu."

Emperor.

Mu Yue carefully recalled the past experience, and then nodded.

"Well, I did, and ...... It's as if I got strength from my ancestors."

"Is it the 24 solar terms?"

"Yes, but not all of them have been collected, actually, I still don't understand how to collect them."

Mu Tianxing waved his hand.

"It's okay, you'll know when the time comes, and if you tell you now, it might cause unnecessary trouble. The reason why I was able to make my body stuck at the age of twenty-four was with the help of the power of my ancestors, which not only allowed me to live until now, but also directly modified the underlying rules of the world, so that all the people who have come into contact with me will theoretically be absolutely impossible to perceive this, which is why when you try to tell Mei Yi-chan the truth, you will find that time and space will be frozen."

Mu Yue's eyes widened, her mouth opened, and she didn't say anything.

The truth that Mu Tianxing said was too terrible for him.

Ancestors...... Emperor ...... How can it be so powerful? Freeze the entire plane directly!?

"That...... Why am I aware of this?"

"Don't worry, huh...... Raven says this will not be explained in the next chapter."
