"Who has this much energy" said the roots uneasily.
Yi Hua noticed the noisy roots. In any case, the energy emitted is quite strong. Even Yi Hua was not sure if the one who came was An.
How could a human have such destructive abilities?
"SRAHHH!!!"
The roots churned as if they were small snakes wandering about. Even now Yi Hua only relied on minimal light that came out behind the cracked earth cave walls. However, Yi Hua would not guarantee that he would not 'flaten' if he continued to be in this cave.
Just a cow if it is in a collapsed cave will soon be flattened, let alone me who is meek and earthy!
Yi Hua took out another talisman to attach to one of the cave walls. At least he'll have to pave the way now, or he'll be stuck here.
"Xiao, where is the thinnest cave wall?" yi Hua asked in a commanding tone.
It invited a peeved from Xiao. "You always give me the hardest job."
Even so, Xiao fell silent again. Yi Hua was sure that Xiao would still work even though he was grumbling like a debt collector. Sometimes Yi Hua began to think that this Xiao character was created in order to be a trial for meek and diligent people saving like Yi Hua.
However, Yi Hua had to do it because he had to make sure that when it was destroyed from inside this cave it would not be all destroyed. It would definitely be the most ridiculous thing, since Yi Hua would still be buried in the ground. Therefore, he had to make sure well.
"Wall on the right, HuaHua. It was already a bit cracked and thin. If you destroy it, then you have a little time to escape before the cave is completely destroyed" Xiao said with his explanation as a bonus.
Yi Hua attached the talisman to the wall that Xiao was referring to. After which, his hand pressed slowly against the wall.
BLAM!
GRAK!
"Oh." Yi Hua rubbed his head that was dropped by a small stone.
Xiao snatched away an annoyance. "Too strong, HuaHua. Do you want to be flat like your pocket money?"
He did not expect that the crack would immediately greet Yi Hua's head. That meant that this wall was so thin that the energy from the talisman felt extremely strong. Therefore, Yi Hua could not use his talisman to destroy.
Yes it is ...
Yi Hua stretched her right leg slightly, and ...
BRACKET!
If it was that thin, then Yi Hua would only need to kick it. And sure enough there created a rather large road. Yi Hua thought her cow power was very useful in this regard.
SRETT!
"Eh?"
Just now Yi Hua wanted to climb out a hand outstretched inside. Without waiting for much time, Yi Hua had already been lifted by the pull of that hand. He was even pulled so strong and fast that he could not avoid the hand.
"Mr An ... I can stand on my own" said Yi Hua who tried to release An's grip on her waist.
SRETT
Hey, how do you get her hug? He should know that there is a boundary between men and women! You're being disrespectful.
Xiao sighed again. "I'm sometimes surprised that your sometimes clever brain collapses."
GRAK!
"How did he get here?" say those roots that look so scared.
Isn't this just An? Why do these roots look so scared?
That was what made Yi Hua raise next to her brows inexplicably. However, before he got a proper answer, the figure released its grip on Yi Hua's waist. Then, the man headed towards the roots with a strange energy glowing in his hand.
"You dare touch something you shouldn't touch" An said calmly.
BRACKET!
When An walks, he can crush the stone he is sticking. And, Yi Hua knew that this would be a mess later. It made Yi Hua immediately run to chase after An's movements, or An would destroy these roots.
He has promised to help these roots come back to life. It returned to being a beautiful tree, and could summon the wind again. After all this was the thing that Yi Hua's father always did every time the Qixi Celebration.
Maybe his father just felt guilty about what happened. Or, he came just to miss someone. I don't know.
SRETT!
An's hand stopped in midair as Yi Hua stood before him. And that made Yi Hua able to see the dark face of An. "What are you doing, Yi Hua?"
"They didn't do anything" Yi Hua said as he stood before An.
Why has An been so horrible lately? He's like a lost cow and doesn't know the way home. So that it becomes angry and not environmentally friendly.
SRETT!
Yi Hua closed his eyes suddenly as An extended his hand. He thought that An would turn his head. However, the man only touched Yi Hua's bruised forehead. And, if An hadn't touched her, perhaps Yi Hua wouldn't have known if her forehead was injured.
"Shhh ..." Yi Hua could only hiss as An pressed the wound on his forehead.
An glanced sharply at those roots.
"CRITCHES!! KRIT!" a rat-like voice rang out. I don't know why the sound can come from a root that doesn't have a mouth to speak.
Suddenly the roots were shrieking pain like they were twisted violently. Not to mention the heat caused. Even Yi Hua could see the surging smoke above the roots. Of course Yi Hua panicked when he saw it all.
Hey, is he going to burn these roots out just because I scratched a little bit?
Yi Hua grabbed An's outstretched hand. That of course made Yi Hua able to feel the surge of energy coming out of An's hand. Suddenly Yi Hua thought his energy would be drawn out by An. But, ...
This man could stop the flow of energy leaking from Yi Hua. How could?
The roots ran away as the pain given by An diminished. They clearly did not want to meet this monstrous figure anymore. However, they know who they are dealing with.
An's eyes were getting sharper, but this time it only led to Yi Hua. However Yi Hua returned An's gaze boldly. "If you don't listen to me, then I'll fight with you."
"What do you want, Yi Hua?" said An with a threatening tone.
Xiao immediately reminded Yi Hua about writing a will. However, Yi Hua had challenged the wrong person. And also, surely Yi Hua is listed as a selfless and courageous person who lacks work. An came here to help him. However, he even invited An to fight now.
Just one look at Yi Hua knowing she would lose immediately when An raised his hand.
SRETT!
An let go of Yi Hua's hand that was still covering her hand. That made Yi Hua check her own hands. He thought if An had a problem with his hands filled with mud?
Of course because Yi Hua had met familiar roots. Obviously, he'll be dirty.
"They're just looking for mom ... I mean their God who has disappeared. So we just need to return it," Yi Hua said as he pointed towards the drought-stricken lands of Yi Village.
Even if Yi Hua put the cow there, perhaps the cow would soon be slim due to the lack of water.
An raised next to his brows, "Just need to return?" he asked with an expression that Yi Hua could clearly not read.
After all, what Yi Hua said was a bit strange. Because, returning something called a God in this world is a difficult thing. He said that when the gods ascend to the sky, they must go through a long period of virtue and devotion. It won't be as easy as raising a cow as a child.
Moreover, the fact about Yi Hua who turned out to be the son of a Phoenix God.
Eh?
Yi Hua looked here and there just to check. Coupled with the circumstances around them that were already rather dark. He must have spent a lot of time in the cave, until he forgot that it was almost night.
And, isn't tonight the Qixi Feast?
Yi Hua had an idea.
Let's create a story that refers to a legend. About a celebration for lovers who can't meet. However, it was changed for the celebration of restoring the power of the Phoenix God.
Who can give it back?
Of course Yi Hua.
He was just doing what Dad did before.

Title: Phoenix Who Fished Man in the River
The man patted his ears softly that he had put in water, "Of course I can see you. You don't see I have two eyes here."
Heh?
Suddenly the God wanted to ask if this man had a brain in his head or not. However, he did not say it because he did not want to be mistaken for an antagonist. He should not, however, be in contact with humans. Moreover, humans are annoying like this guy.
The god slowly climbed up the tree again like a hanging bat. It was his daily activity. No one can interfere with his activities. Dependence is the way of life.
"B*al! This is a failure a hundred times." The man suddenly spoke as if he had a friend to discuss with.
What is!
The god ignored him because he did not want to be considered a stream.
However, the human stared at the God who was still hanging. "Hey, the dependent human. You're a real bitch. Why help me in my noble suicidal ideals? What's yourname?"
The gods don't mind him anymore. Obviously he doesn't have to answer. Because he's not human. Plus he doesn't have a name. So there was no reason for him to answer.
The man crawled like an alligator. "Hey, did you hear me or not?"
"No" answered the god quickly.
Didn't he answer? Then he heard, right?
The man reached out his hand to touch the God, but the God eliminated him. Soon, he appeared again and stood there.
"Why did you want to kill yourself?" ask the god directly.
Most people refuse to leave this world. However, this man tends to want to break his life. He thought life was given only to waste.
The man sighed. "Something."
Don't say?
"However, you know I just think that what I'm doing is all for nothing. No one ever appreciates what I decide" the man said.
The god leaned his body on the tree trunk, while the strange man was just lying on the ground. Obviously he was only responding accordingly, because as a God he should not side with humans individually. Plus it's none of his business.
"Who can live so long in this terrible world? They take each other down and only a handful of people are sincere. It's sincere in number just like a grain of dust in cow hair," explained the man as if telling his true friend.
Then, the man raised his right arm to cover his face. "They want to kill me. But since they failed, I want to help them."
Huh uh? The god doesn't understand how this guy's brain works.
The god looked up at the sky. "You know I've seen a lot of life and death. Let me tell you that there's more you can do than kill yourself in this river."
"What's that?" ask the man curiously.
The god answered quickly. "An example is to repair the contents of your brain so as not to get too rusty. Or, you could die more stylistically by helping others."
This god must now be intending to throw the man back into the river.
But he chose not to say anything more. He turned his body to disappear. It seemed like he had to hide his aura so that this man wouldn't see it. Although this strange phenomenon is still being questioned. How could this man see it?
"Hey, what's your name?" ask the man in a curious tone.
The god stopped for a moment. "I don't have a name I remember. They just call me Phoenix."
The man who had below average intelligence clearly did not understand much about what the God said. However, he only thought that the God was joking with him. Therefore, he suddenly triggered something.
"What if I call you Yi Xia. Because you're the woman in Yi Village and we met at sunset?" said the man while pointing at the twilight sun.
^^^*Xia means sunlight at sunrise or sunset. I also saw it on the internet. So if something is wrong, please forgive my mistake.^^^
Name for him?
As far as he could remember, he continued to live from day to day. Keep watching the sun rise and set no matter how long it takes. Obviously, he lived long enough.
The man got up, "Tonight is the celebration of Qixi. I actually came here to give the girls prophecies."
^^^*Typically during the Qixi Feast women will seek prophecy and give prayers to the man she loves. ^^^
"If you want to find myself to foretell, please come to the Qixi Feast. There was a famous fortune teller named Shi Heng. That's me" the man said proudly.
Without waiting for his reply, the man named Shi Heng immediately ran over in his wet clothes. Maybe the guy thinks he can dry his clothes while running. I don't know.
However ...
"Yi Xia."
The Phoenix Tree, that's what people call it, they immediately reprimanded the God. They are entities that cannot be joined by humans. It is a reason that cannot be denied.
"You heard ... He called me Yi Xia."
More than anything ... This was the first time he had a name to call.
Then, Shi Heng.
Maybe he can also call someone's name.
"Shi Heng," he said as if calling in the wind.
