The Great Oishi Zu's
Zhu Rey's Concern

Chu Zu stared at the empty tea glass,Zu Ji Ning looked at his mother in surprise. It's been over 6 years. She always caught her mother daydreaming when she saw a shabby doll the size of a palm.

"Mom are you okay?"asked Zu Ji Bing worriedly.

He was used to formal speaking from childhood, unlike his younger brother Zu Ji Shi. Who speak informally to their parents. The brunette youth could not help but ask.

"Mother is fine, son." Chu Zu replied lethargicly.

"What do you really think? Do you think about the kid you once raised?"

Somehow Zu Ji Bing's feelings became messy, her mother never worried excessively and remembered every year. Why is his mother so attentive to his adopted child rather than his own?

"Bing'er if you say he's a pick-up boy it's better to leave here." Chu Zu said angrily.

Zu Ji Bing bit her lower lip, she clenched her right hand unintentionally.

"Mother don't you get angry, Bing Gege is just jealous because I think more about Val and Rey." said a beautiful girl with a tall body. The half-coiled hair that looked graceful added a strong impression to his personality.

"I'm not jealous." denied Zu Ji Bing fast.

"Hahaha, I don't believe that."Zu Ji Shi looked at his Brother with a mocking facial expression.

"Haven't been noisy, I don't want you guys to make a noise."

Zu Ji Shi was instantly speechless, his mother was no longer what she used to be. Warm and pleasant, since his two sisters did not come home for 5 years. Her mother's happiness seemed to be taken away and gone.

Suddenly dark smoke appeared within Chu Zu's pavilion, Zu Ji Bing swiftly drew his sword and stood near his mother. Likewise with Zu Ji Shi, the girl pointed her sword towards the dimensional portal.

"Wow, I just came you've been pointing at me."

The youth unraveled black, tall and muscular body. The color of the eyes was red, as well as that haughty handsome face appeared from within the dimensional portal.

"Who are you?"Zu Ji Shi looked at him carefully.

Chu Zu looked at the young man before him, he felt familiar with the color of red eyes. He rushed to get up, Zu Ji Bing's reflexes held back his mother. He was afraid that the mother would be hurt by a young man whose identity was unknown. What's more, the eye color is very unique, on this continent there is no red eye color.

"Mother! You mustn't approach her."Zu Ji Bing's hand restrained Chu Zu's arm.

However, the middle-aged woman brushed off her hands and ran over to the foreign youth. 

"Shi'er hold Mom!"zu Ji Bing shouted in panic. 

Instead of answering, his younger sister instead pegged to let his mother hold the young man full of longing.

"Rey'er! This is you, son? I can't forget you."Chu Zu sobbed as he held his adopted son.

"It turns out you haven't forgotten me human."Zhu Rey returned Chu Zu's embrace.

There were a lot of changes that happened to the loving woman, her body getting thinner and frail. Wrinkles are starting to appear, as well as gray hair. The appearance was fraught with drastic changes according to Zhu Rey.

"So she's one of Mom's foster children." muttered Zu Ji Bing quietly.

His heart felt stunned to see his mother so long for a child who did not have the same blood as him.

"Son, believe me Mother always thinks of you," Chu Zu said sadly."how are you? Is your business done now?"

"Yes, I'm good news and would you like to go somewhere?"zhu Rey asked expectantly.

Zu Ji Shi came to a realization from his daydream as Zu Ji Bing patted his shoulder, he thought of an unreasonable thing. Should have been away 5 years Zhu Rey was 10 years old now. But in front of him, it looked like a 17-year-old. Is it because spirit is different from human?

"Zhu Rey don't you remember Jiejie?"zu Ji Shi asked in tears as Zhu Rey did not look at him and asked him to speak.

"Remember, but considering your very troublesome nature first made me not want to be close together." Zhu Rey's lips made Zu Ji Shi's heart feel pierced.

"Well, you want me to hit?"Zu Ji Shi showed off his bogem.

Zhu Rey smiled faintly, "No thanks, my handsome face will be scratched."

"So Mom, you want to come with me?"ask Zhu Rey.

"Alright."buke Chu Zu.

"Wait, let me come along."sela Zu Ji Bing.

"Currently, what are you coming for?"decak Zhu Rey is upset.

"Sister, your Jiejie wants to come too."Zu Ji Shi looked at his sister expectantly.

Zhu Rey flicked her hand, a portal with a dark aura appeared. He pulled Chu Zu to enter, Zu Ji Bing and Zu Ji Shi immediately followed the two people in front of him.

However, it was only an instant. Because the exit had appeared in front of them, once out the big trees welcomed their arrival. Some tree Elves were about to attack, but they felt a familiar presence.

"Little leader?"

"Little leader is coming!"

"Tell the great Leader!"

Zu Ji Bing was astonished, this was the first time she had seen the Fairy Tree. Fairy trees have a form representing the trees they inhabit. And only found in Mangrove forests, their population is very small because of that. They were in the Mangrove forest to protect themselves.

"Where is this boy?"

"Zhu Rey is this the Mangrove forest? I heard that the forest has been destroyed." said Zu Ji Shi hesitantly.

"Mother, we're in the Mangrove forest."Zhu Rey looked at Zu Ji Shi."Mangrove forests will stay alive despite being destroyed, they will regenerate when the core of the forest wills."

"meaning?"Zu Ji Bing looked at Zhu Rey puzzled.

"Let me explain Gege."sela Zu Ji Shi who knows a little about Mangrove.

The four of them walked closer to the center of the forest, when they got there. The view of the emerald green lake is so beautiful. A small gazebo with elegant wood carvings in the corner, adds a classic impression.

Above the Gazebo looks a figure with a charming fish tail, playing a lute. His lentic fingers plucked the lute thread, producing a tone that could make people crumpled.

"Wa Di Xiang."call Zhu Rey."I've come."

"What did you come here for?"asked Wa Di Xiang cynically."you could not even hesitate to bring the humans along."

Zhu Rey glanced at Chu Zu, Zu Ji Shi and, Zu Ji Bing. He actually only wanted to tell Chu Zu about him and Val, but the two children were following them.

"There's something to tell me."

The four of them sat in the Gazebo more precisely in front of Wa Di Xiang. Zhu Rey was silent at the thought of starting her story.

"You know me and Val were born from the same egg."

Zu Ji Bing who had been silent was now surprised, knowing that his mother's foster child was a spirit. Have the two spirits signed a contract with her mother and sister? But in general the spirit that binds the contract can not be far from his employer.

"Mom knows that."

"Then the truth is, the two of us aren't siblings."Zhu Rey looked at Wa Di Xiang seriously."Have you ever come across a case like ours? Originally Val was a normal human being because of the precarious circumstances I accidentally brought her inside the egg and made her stuck with me."

"What?!" Shouted everyone.

Chu Zu could not believe it, all this time his two twins had never told him about it. Is that why Val and Zhu Rey have different hair colors?

"Val comes from the Zhu family, his mother is the elite spirit of the White Tiger and his father is from the elite spirit of the Dragon, they are just a fake family formed accidentally, for the sake of raising Val like a human in general."

Zu Ji Shi was flabbergasted, it turned out that spirit also had a human-like feeling. It even looks very human, rather than human itself. While his older brother Zu Ji Bing could not believe he was sure Zhu Rey was bragging for mercy.

"I already knew that, Zhu Long told me that, even though Val knew his family was fake but he didn't lack the love and care of his current family."Wa Di Xiang plucked the lute expressionlessly.

Zhu Rey could only sigh at his hearing, "Actually I am telling you this because I want to ask you guys."

"What do you want to ask? I'll answer her."Chu Zu stroked Zhu Rey's hair, the poor child. Why is the fate of his children so complicated.

"Are you guys gonna let me propose to Val?"zhu Rey asked as she held back her embarrassment.

Everyone coughed at the unexpected."Brother what are you saying? You are brothers!"squeal Zu Ji Shi.

"I don't care" Zu Ji Bing said coldly.

"Aren't you sure? Even though you're not siblings, Val also has the same drop of blood as you do in an egg."Chu Zu became anxious, this was not true the feeling between brothers was like poison.

"You want to propose to her? I'm not sure you can get permission from those two elite spirit parents."Wa Di Xiang folded his hands on his chest.

He was actually surprised but he hid it, "Rey'er think back, what if something happened as a result of your marriage?"

Zhu Rey fell silent, Chu Zu's words were correct. If Val is married to Val then, the great leader will hunt them both down. Val will suffer just like her mother.

Then what about the feeling that Zhu Rey craved? The longer it swells, the more he fears his heart is unable to hold that feeling alone.

"Whisper! It's my business, you just agree to what's hard!"zhu Rey shouted in frustration.

Why is destiny so bad? Can't he just change destiny? Even if you have to fight it. Zhu Rey would do that for Val's sake, but would Val accept her feelings? Zhu Rey was worried about all her complicated plans.
