Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 270. A Story

The woman shuffled backwards while tightly hugging her baby. He could no longer run because his leg was injured. Eight men surrounded him so he could not go anywhere anymore.

'I'd better not, huh? I could not bear to see that innocent baby become a victim of their cruelty. I won't be able to watch him die in front of me.' Fang Yin finally decided to appear and mediate the matter.

Just as a man was swinging his sword to kill the woman, Fang Yin came to prevent it, His sword fell down when his wrist was held tightly. The man looked to see who was blocking him.

"Who are you? How dare he interfere in our affairs!" shouted the man furiously.

The woman stood up and took cover behind Fang Yin. He was a little able to breathe a sigh of relief, at least someone was willing to help him even though he did not know the continuation. Their numbers were not comparable to the men who surrounded them, the woman thought.

"I'm a person who just happened to pass by. Do you not have any shame? It could have been ganged up on a helpless woman," Fang Yin said in a flat tone but conditioned with innuendo.

The man that was prevented by Fang Yin came forward. They are now facing each other in a very close distance. The man looked at Fang Yin's appearance from head to toe.

"It seems you're not here. You'd better step aside and stop meddling in our affairs, then we'll let you go safely." The man spoke with a tone of threat.

"Ohho, I'm afraid," Fang Yin joked.

"Unfortunately I won't leave if you guys don't let go of this woman" Fang Yin added.

The man and his entire companions felt furious and raised his sword towards Fang Yin. However, one of them shouted and asked them to stop their actions.

That person caught a glimpse of Fang Yin's extremely frightening gaze. Although invisible, he could feel the immense amount of energy from the aura emanating within the look in his eyes.

"Miss, this woman is carrying a very dangerous baby. Her husband was a member of the Death Flute Sect. If allowed to live, this baby would be a threat to the white stream" the man explained.

Fang Yin looked towards the innocent-looking baby. The expression on her mother's face changed when she saw Fang Yin staring at her baby for quite a while. Her heart was hopefully worried if Fang Yin changed her mind and did not take her side.

Fang Yin was silent for a moment to think. The men looked impatiently waiting for an answer from him.

"Is there something strange about this baby? He looks like a normal baby. It feels like your reason doesn't make sense, just because his father was a member of your black sect who labeled him a criminal." Fang Yin tried to think logically to break their assumptions. Actually he himself also did not know about the ins and outs of the descendants of the adherents of the Death Flute Sect.

"It seems you don't know much about the sect yet, Miss. In order to protect his descendants, the members of the Death Flute Sect would seek a replacement at the expense of others. So if this baby's father knew he had a baby then he would take another baby to confirm this baby as a member of the same sect as him. As much as there was a baby there, more and more babies or other children were brought and offered to their gods."

The woman behind Fang Yin looked terrified. Everything is his fault. He shouldn't have helped and fallen in love with a member of the Death Flute Sect.

An accidental encounter with her husband leaves her trapped in endless suffering. As a good woman, she saved a young man who was injured. At first he did not know if the man was a member of the Death Flute Sect.

The woman took the man to live in her house. On the same day, both parents died suddenly without knowing the cause. At that time no one knew if it was the man he was helping that was absorbing the spirit essence of his parents to replace his broken spirit core.

Day after day they passed by gave rise to the seeds of love between the two, until they decided to become a couple. The surrounding citizens were nothing suspicious if he was a member of the Death Flute Sect because of his good demeanor.

That state lasted for quite a while until a group of members of the Death Flute Sect came to that place to pick him up there. The woman also did not know about her husband's background and was so devastated over his departure even though she knew he was not a good person.

The woman's husband seemed to be covering up their relationship. The members of the Death Flute Sect did not know if he had a wife. If they knew, then the woman would be taken and would have to follow the rules of the sect.

After the departure of her husband, the woman realized that she was pregnant. Given that she was married to a sect member who became an enemy of their clan, she was trying to cover up her pregnancy. However, as much as she hid the pregnancy, still people know it with her stomach growing bigger.

In order to avoid suspicion, she ran into the forest and gave birth there. For some time he was safe, until these men found him here. They don't want to let go of the woman with the baby.

Fang Yin took a deep breath while thinking of finding a solution in this matter. Both sides are not to blame. They have good reason to defend themselves.

The men were also seen thinking after hearing the woman's true story. A complicated love story between two opposing streams. They wanted to protect the woman but were afraid that one day her husband would come to pick her up and make trouble.

In matters of love, Fang Yin was still a big zero. As an Agata Moen, he is also an acute singles who is trapped in love location to a married doctor. The love in silence was painful, he did not want this to happen to this woman.

Perhaps, he would have to take a big decision to choose between his clan and his love. Difference in idealism is impossible to make the two unite. The woman has to choose between the two.

"My name is Xiao Yin. I've never been in love and I'm not looking for a partner. As a human being with a heart, I feel unbearable about the fate of this woman. Do you think he wants all this to happen? I don't think so, but fate has chosen her and tied her heart to the man who became her husband without seeing where he came from. Now come to this, just think of us as outsiders who know nothing, what if we give him a chance to choose?" Fang Yin expressed his opinion.

The men moved away to discuss. They want to talk first before making a decision. This problem can be said to be quite a complicated problem. A matter concerning the relationship between two opposing clans.

Killing a woman and her baby is able to overcome this problem for a while. If her husband finds out if his son and wife are murdered, this could be a trigger for revenge between them. Bigger problems will come and revenge will continue.

They finally decided to ask the woman to choose her path. All the decisions he makes are risky, but they believe whatever is best.

Fang Yin became the mediator in this matter. He thought of the baby who knew nothing about it. No matter what her background is, she is still a human being who has her own way of life.

The woman thought for a moment and decided to follow her husband away to the Death Flute Sect. No matter what was going to happen in front of her, she wanted her husband to see her son.

The men from his clan, finally let go of him and let him choose his own life. They went home without the woman named Huamei and promised to keep this secret.

They agreed not to tell this incident to his clan and made a false confession.

Fang Yin who had the same goal as Huamei gave him go to the Death Flute Sect. However, he did not say what his goal was to Huamei. He only said he would go to a place close to the Valley of Death.

Their journey will take a little while. It was impossible for Fang Yin to show his strength before Huamei. He chose to walk casually with her in his usual steps.

Several times they stopped to rest. Huamei's baby was quite calm and did not cry during his journey. An ordinary woman would not be strong enough to walk for so long while holding her baby. Despite covering it up, but Fang Yin knew that Huamei was also a cultivator.

Huamei should have been able to fight those men, but it seemed like his strength was sealed at the moment. He could not use his strength to the fullest.

Almost a day they walk until dark days, but they have not reached the residential area. The two of them finally stopped in the forest to rest.

Fang Yin cleaned the place to rest and collected dry twigs to make a fireplace. Huamei's baby continued to suckle so she couldn't help him.

"Huamei, you wait here. I'll find something to eat" Fang Yin said after successfully lighting the fire.

"Sorry to trouble you," Huamei replied feeling uneasy.

"Don't feel shy, I'm looking for food for myself too."

Huamei. The baby was a little distracted by their chatter.

Shortly after Fang Yin left, Huamei kept the fire burning while hugging her sleeping baby. A boar came to him. The wild beast continued to advance closer to the fire even though he several times chased it away with a twig that he swung towards it.

Fang Yin was not yet seen coming back, as the pig was getting closer, Huamei took action immediately. He poured Qi on the twig in his hand and threw it right at the boar's neck.

The boar screamed loudly. His shrill voice echoed in the silence of the night. His voice grew weaker with his death.

The boar's body was still twitching when Fang Yin came there. When she heard the animal's shrill voice she immediately returned, she worried about Huamei and her baby.

"You're okay, right?" fang Yin asked with a gasping breath.

"I'm fine. The boar came towards me, so I killed it by thrusting the branch," Huamei pointed.

"Thank God. I'll make that pig for our dinner. I just happen to not have anything."

That night, they partied by eating pork that was not too big. He was still a child so his meat was very tender and a little fat. Every now and then Fang Yin chased away the snakes and other flat animals that had arrived from seeing the flames.

They took turns to keep watch if any animals came near. Both of them were both guarding their identities and did not want to show their strength.

Huamei was a middle star saint realm cultivator, but his strength was sealed after he married Xiao Peng. The Luo Clan had rules to limit the strength of a married woman. In a special state like a war, the seal will only be opened.

Actually Fang Yin could feel the magnitude of the energy in Huamei's body, but he pretended not to know it. Physically, the energy is invisible. He knew it from the breath and the traces of energy he left behind on the twigs stuck in the body of the boar.

'If he wanted to, I could actually unseal his energy lock. But I wouldn't have talked about this matter if he hadn't discussed it with me first.' Fang Yin added a dry twig to the nearly dimming fire.

In the morning, Fang Yin woke up as usual. He found Huamei no longer in his place.

Fang Yin walked around to look for her and found her by the river. He was so reckless putting his son by the river while he was bathing.

"Good, Huamei! Why don't you wake me up and ask me to take care of your baby. This is very dangerous, Huamei," Fang Yin scolded while taking the baby Huamei in her arms.

Her eyes are so pretty. At the age that has not even a month already emits an aura of good looks that are alluring.

"What a beauty you are, son. You look so adorable. Later if you grow up, you have to protect your mother. Look, I just wanted to cry when I saw her struggle to keep you."

The little baby smiled hearing Fang Yin's words as if he understood what she was saying. He looked delighted to hear Fang Yin's soft words and smiled at her several times.

How sorry he would be if he couldn't save a baby this sweet. Fang Yin did not care how evil his parents were, for him this baby was still a sinless saint.

Huamei's babies were taken away to their resting places. The little baby did not cry. It seemed that he was ready to live the bitterness of life with his mother.

Not long after that Huamei came up with his slightly wet clothes. It seemed that he had no other clothes other than the ones he was wearing at the moment.

Fang Yin felt pity. He won not be seen carrying goods, but inside his storage ring he had a lot of clothes and all his necessities. For a moment he thought about showing his ability to Huamei or not.

After some hesitation, Fang Yin took out a hanfu for Huamei. Her mother's sense overcame her desire to protect herself.

Huamei was a little surprised, but he accepted the hanfu without asking much. After saying thank you, she went back to change her clothes.

"I owe you a lot, Xiao Yin. Maybe me and my baby won't survive if you don't come on time." Huamei fused his hands together saluting Fang Yin.

They look very similar when wearing the same clothes when viewed from the back. Only Fang Yin's face was covered and certainly did not bear any resemblance to Huamei despite being equally beautiful.

"No need to exaggerate, Huamei. I don't feel that making friends is troublesome." Fang Yin held onto Huamei's sleeping baby.

"Friends? You don't mind having a weak friend like me?" Huamei felt that he would only trouble Fang Yin.

Fang Yin placed the baby Huamei by her side and let her sleep comfortably. As a doctor, he knew that babies need a large amount of space to grow.

"You can fool everyone with your innocent attitude, but don't expect you to fool me" Fang Yin said.

Huamei jumped in shock, he did not expect that Fang Yin would say that. His gaping mouth continued to twitch without a sound. He was confused to speak.

"No need to be surprised like that. Now I want to ask, who sealed your body and restricted your movement?" asked Fang Yin in a soft voice.

Huamei could not dwell anymore. He looked like a thief caught off guard while in action. I can do nothing but give up on the situation.

"Reverse!" fang Yin's command without waiting for Huamei to answer her question. He felt pity when he saw her having trouble speaking and his face looked very stupid.

A person can be talkative and difficult to talk to if he or she is surprised. Maybe this is also experienced by Huamei. They can only behave normally if they can overcome their shock and master the situation.

Huamei simply complied to Fang Yin by turning his back to him. No matter what his new best friend would do, he did not argue. So far Fang Yin's attitude was so good that Huamei didn't think badly of her.

A warm feeling spread across his body as Fang Yin drained his energy on Huamei's back through his palms. The longer the warm feeling turned into a hot feeling that barged through his meridian network.

As the Luo Clan chief sealed it, Huamei felt more pain than this. With all her might she endured the pain and closed her mouth tightly so as not to make a sound. His upper jaw and lower jaw are crammed together and make him look like a grin.

Fang Yin did his job so quickly that Huamei did not realize that his suffering was over. He was too focused on enjoying his pain to the point of not knowing if Fang Yin's energy was no longer flowing in his body.

"Heh, you want to be dumbfounded and stay here forever? The chicken belonging to my neighbor instantly died upon seeing the dumb-ass," Fang Yin sneered as Huamei was unaware of the situation.

"Ah, yes. It's over, huh?" Huamei turned her body towards Fang Yin and pretended to ask him.

"Let's continue our journey," Fang Yin asked as she held the baby Huamei. She was really anxious for the baby who was not wanting to get away from her.

As things get swapped, Fang Yin looks motherly while Huamei becomes single.

"Hey, wait. You haven't explained where you know if my cultivation is being sealed?" ask Huamei.

Instead of answering him, Fang Yin laughed instead. For a long time he had no friends. He felt that there was a place to expose his pranks.

"Hey ..." Huamei's speech was interrupted when Fang Yin gave him a gesture to be silent.

"I should have asked you why you let someone seal your cultivation?"

Huamei grimacing. He felt intimidated but Fang Yin was indeed right, it should be him who asked a lot of things.

"This is indeed already the rule of our Clan. For a married woman, she is obligated to abide by the rules under which her cultivation must be sealed and must not exceed the level of the heavens" Huamei explained.

Fang Yin stopped his steps after listening to Huamei's explanation. His eyes were round, he felt like he had made a mistake.

"Why don't you prevent me when I unseal you? Now I feel like I've made you the one who broke the rules. Where I can't return the seal again." Fang Yin looked at Huamei full of regret. Intentions want to do nosy but even guilt feelings that he got. He felt very careless and forgot Grandpa Tse's message to always be careful.

It was now Huamei's turn to laugh at Fang Yin. He felt funny with Fang Yin's face paled from a feeling of guilt.

"What's wrong? Am I not a free man now. The people from my clan have already let me choose my path. They won't bother me anymore or maybe won't even care what happens to me after this" Huamei explained. His face suddenly looked very sad.

"Don't show that sad face of yours! My life story is more complicated than what you've been through. It's just that I'm not undergoing a sacred bond with a man." Jian Heng's face flashed in his memory. She muttered inwardly, "Will my marriage become this complicated someday?"

"Alright, let's think about what we'll face after this. Do not let the problems we face make us become lost direction," said Huamei mediate.

They continued their journey with relief. Although they have problems, but they try to stay happy in his way. At least with friendship they have a place to share.

After knowing their respective cultivation abilities, on their way they used quick steps to reach the urban area. Fang Yin covered the baby Huamei's body with his coat and carried it with a long cloth wrapped around his body.

Huamei looked at Fang Yin full of haru. The person he had just known became more caring than the person he had lived with for many years.

With quick steps, they finally reached the city when the sun was just above his head. Fang Yin sneaked to the edges of the road under the trees to protect the baby Huamei from the scorching afternoon sun. He seemed to be very protective of the baby.

Huamei did not relax, he also used his hands or widened his sleeves to block the sunlight that hit the faces of Fang Yin and her baby. They stopped in front of a tavern and decided to eat and rest there.

All eyes looked towards Fang Yin and Huamei. They thought that the one who had the baby was Fang Yin and the beautiful Huamei was a single girl.

"Xiao Yin, aren't you dead of style when people consider you a young mother?" ask Huamei.

"What care am I with them. After all, we won't see them again, will we?"

Huamei. The feeling was not good when a thick-bodied person came to them.
