Book 6: Chapter 14: God-Human Hybrid
Following Jiang Lan all the way, Bai Qiuran and Wise Immortal came to a small house surrounded by woods.
This simple hut built of stones and thatch was built on the mountain. Jiang Lan used her supernatural power to forcibly open up an open space in the lush woods and used it as her residence.
There was a simple fence with bamboo sticks around the hut. Two fields have been opened up in the yard. Some flowers and plants that Bai Qiuran didn’t know were planted here. There were rows of wooden shelves beside the hut. There were several earthy-yellow clay pots placed on them, and the sound of crawling came out from the pots.
“Don’t touch the things in my yard, or I don’t care about burying you after you die by poison.”
Seeing Bai Qiuran looking curiously to observe a flower in the yard, Jiang Lan reminded.
Bai Qiuran straightened up, followed Jiang Lan, and walked into her cabin.
The conditions in the hut were very rudimentary, much more primitive than the poorest farmhouse Bai Qiuran has ever seen. A small table was piled up with wood and stones on the ground, and two wooden stakes were placed next to him. It was a bench, and in the corner next to the small table, a stone platform covered with animal skins was probably the bed used by the little girl in front of him.
There were many bottles and cans in the corners of the room, as well as containers made of beast skulls, but there was no peculiar smell inside the room, instead, it was filled with a subtle smell, as if many medicinal materials are mixed with a certain sweet taste.
“This is for you.”
Jiang Lan found a hammock made of animal skins from a wooden box on the wall of her house and handed it to Bai Qiuran.
“There are two trees outside. You can hang this one and sleep on the tree… After tomorrow, I will take you to the sky and let His Majesty the Emperor give you the godhood. Then you don’t have to stay with me anymore.”
“Oh, thanks a lot.”
Bai Qiuran took the animal skin she handed over.
“There is miasma outside, even ordinary gods can’t get in. If you sleep in the yard, you don’t have to worry about the safety of your life.”
Jiang Lan exhorted two more words, and then said:
“Well, you go out to rest first, I want to go to bed too.”
Bai Qiuran subconsciously wanted to say how early it was, but he looked up at the sky and remembered that he was in another era.
The nights of this era were quite dangerous, even in the settlements, the human may be attacked and lose their lives at any time, so the habit of this era must be to work at sunrise and rest at night falls.
Although Jiang Lan was a god, judging from the fact that she lived on the earth and not in the sky, she should have been exiled by other gods. It is estimated that her work and rest habits were also affected by the human race’s influences.
After he came out of the hut, Jiang Lan immediately closed the door of the hut. Bai Qiuran’s sensitive ears heard the sound from inside. This little girl of the gods should have taken off her clothes and went to sleep just like she said.
He took this animal skin hammock and walked around the hut, and found the two big trees growing together behind the hut. Several branches were suitable for binding the hammock.
As long as there was a foothold, there was nothing Bai Qiuran couldn’t climb on. He climbed up the tree with the hammock, tied the two ends of the hammock on the branches of the two trees, and was about to lie down. The corners of his eyes suddenly dangled. In the back corner of the yard, a passage was specially set aside.
Bai Qiuran was very curious in his heart. Relying on his power, he was not afraid of any danger, so he jumped off the tree and touched it silently.
Behind the passage was a path that was opened up. Seeing that there should be people walking along the path, Bai Qiuran finally walked out of the forest and came to a cliff.
Looking down, there was a little fire in a dark wilderness.
“What did you see?”
Feeling Bai Qiuran’s movements, Wise Immortal, who pretended to be dead for most of the day, shook his head and asked:
“Let me take a look too.”
Bai Qiuran raised Wise Immortal’s head and let him see the flames in the wilderness. As a result, Wise Immortal said without thinking:
“Isn’t that the settlement of the human race?”
“correct.”
Bai Qiuran said:
“From the edge of the river, you can see that this girl Jiang Lan seems to have a good impression of Human Race.”
“Oh, speaking of this, I forgot to tell you.”
Wise Immortal was only at this time to make up for it.
“That little girl is a hybrid of god and human.”
“Hybrid?”
Bai Qiuran said in surprise:
“Is she a demigod?”
“There is no such thing as “demigod”. She is a pure-blooded god, the kind who has perfectly inherited the godhood of the previous generation.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“Miss Su is a half-demon, that’s because the bloodline of the Demon Emperor has been passed down for so many generations, but it is still unable to completely offset the bloodline of our human race. But the bloodline of the gods is different. The bloodline level of the gods is too high compare to other races in this era. The children born from their union with other races either died directly or were pure-blooded gods.”
“Then her attitude towards Human Race can also be explained.”
Bai Qiuran nodded while holding his chin.
“So, who are her parents?”
“If you ask for their name, I can only say that Great Wisdom can’t see it. Perhaps for Heaven of this era, their names are not yet worth remembering.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“I only know that her father is an ordinary human race, and her mother, who used to be the god in charge of medicine, seems to have been in charge of the sea in the later period.”
“So what about her?”
Bai Qiuran asked again.
“She, as you heard, is in charge of the plague and medicine. Of course, she has inherited her mother’s authority over the sea.”
Wise Immortal replied:
“She is in charge of the sea but does not live in the sea. She is in charge of the plague but lives so close to the human race. I am afraid that those guys in the sky are thinking of ways to get rid of her all the time.”
“In other words, from our standpoint, can we trust her?”
Bai Qiuran asked finally.
“Look at you, anyway, she is considered to be a friendly god, and for now, there is no reason to harm you.”
Wise Immortal hesitated for a moment, and then said:
“By the way, I understand the reason why you wanted to pee after drinking the wine from the fruit juice.”
“what reason?”
“In the wine of the golden pulp tree, there was actually a sac that was poisoned.”
Wise Immortal said:
“Yes, as you guessed, it was the little girl who got there. You want to pee because your body actively excreted the indigestible highly toxic substances in your body. In other words, the dragon of that celestial god was actually poisoned to death by your urine…”
“Oh shit.”
Bai Qiuran’s face collapsed.
“You said she won’t harm me.”
“She really didn’t intend to hurt you. The medicine is put in a place that the human race can’t reach. The target he wants to poison to death is likely passing animals or even gods. Who knew you would go there to drink?”
Wise Immortal sighed:
“I have faults too. I didn’t see it clearly at the time, but anyway, your body is really tough and there is no danger, just as nothing has happened.”
