Chapter 48 – Jing Wei

"Hehe, haha, hahaha!"

On the beach, at dusk, Wu Wang's unrestrained laughter grew louder.

The bird became wary and landed on a distant reef, with Wu Wang's short knife inserted three inches into the rock in front of it, obviously frightened by Wu Wang's laughter.

The bird transformed back into a young girl and sat on the reef, frowning as she watched Wu Wang in the water.

Wu Wang immediately stood up and was about to speak when he saw the girl take a step back, her eyes full of caution.

What's going on?

Wu Wang quickly stabilized his emotions and analyzed the situation. He even forgot about the water on his clothes and hair, and stood up to make a standard human realm bow to the girl.

"I am Master Wuwang. I have offended you just now, and I hope you won't take it to heart."

Uh, why did he say "take it to heart", and why did his voice sound a bit hoarse...

"The Human Realm?"

The girl spoke with some difficulty and her tone was a bit strange, but her meaning was clear.

Anyway, her voice was very pleasant to listen to.

Wu Wang said solemnly, "I come from the North Sea and am heading to the Human Realm. I encountered some trouble on the way and was helped by an old senior who used great magic to bring me here. I was too excited to see a fellow cultivator earlier, but there was another reason for it."

The girl's face was full of suspicion.

Wu Wang gave her a warm smile, and the starfish on his head added to his sharp features, making him look quite comical.

The girl turned her head to one side and couldn't help but laugh with her hand covering her mouth.

With a light shake of her hand and a turn of her body, she had transformed back into a bird and flew towards a tree, leaving only two words behind:

"Don't disturb."

Wu Wang took two steps forward, but then felt that he was being too impulsive, and stopped in his tracks, standing in the water for a while.

What's going on?

How could he have physical contact with this girl without triggering the "touching a woman" coma?

Could it be because she was originally a bird?

But there were also many fierce beasts in the Great Wasteland that transformed into human form. In order to verify the strange disease, Wu Wang's father had tried a series of human-shaped beasts. The result was that the strange disease completely blocked his ability to have normal relationships with men and women.

He couldn't touch the women of the Qingqiu tribe, the concubines of the Rain Master, the women of the Black Corpse tribe, or the women of the Dog Rong tribe...

So why was he the only one who could have contact with this bird fairy?

"Hmm?"

Wu Wang looked up at the divine tree on the mountain cliff and saw the fairy bird fly out of the tree.

She fluttered her wings and flew above the sea, throwing the wooden stick in her mouth into the water.

Wu Wang keenly noticed a detail - the colorful feathers on the bird's forehead shimmered with light, but the light in her eyes had dimmed somewhat, making her look a bit dull.

Realizing this, Wu Wang looked down at himself.

He quickly jumped out of the waves, tidied himself up, and kept his spiritual awareness locked onto the bird fairy, watching her fly back and forth, carrying some sticks and stones, and throwing them into the sea.

This scene made Wu Wang feel inexplicably familiar.He opened a pair of star wings behind him and slowly approached the divine tree. Then he fell under the tree, looking up at the flying bird's figure, watching her tireless and mechanically repeating this action.

"Carrying wood to fill the sea?"

It seemed like he had seen this description somewhere before, like...

Suddenly, Wu Wang's spiritual platform flashed.

[The daughter of Yan Emperor, named Nuwa, drowned in the East Sea and became a divine bird Jing Wei, carrying broken stones and wooden branches to fill the East Sea for years.]

Isn't this the mythological story he read in his elementary school textbook in his past life?

Jin Wei, refined...

"Jing Wei?"

Wu Wang almost blurted out.

The bird passing over his head lowered its head and looked at him. The light on its forehead receded, and its eyes showed a bit of satisfaction as it landed back on the tree branch and nodded repeatedly at Wu Wang.

"Jin Wei!"

"Are you the daughter of Shen Nong, Nuwa?"

"Jin Wei."

Jing Wei nodded lightly, her eyes seeming a bit disappointed.

Wu Wang immediately understood the cause and effect and why he was able to communicate with this fairy... This was Shen Nong's unfinished wish!

She was a spiritual body at the moment, not a real living being, but a remnant soul left after death.

Feeling Jing Wei's disappointment in her eyes, Wu Wang didn't know why she was disappointed, but he didn't want her to be emotionally low because of the questions he asked.

He coughed and his thoughts turned quickly. He smiled and said, "How come the legendary figure still has an accent?"

Crack!

That tree branch was instantly crushed by a pair of delicate bird claws.

Jing Wei flapped her wings angrily, turned her head, and flew into the divine tree. Soon, she flew out carrying a short piece of wood, hovering and diving, and the wood hit Wu Wang's forehead.

Wu Wang covered his face with both hands, begging for mercy continuously. Jing Wei chased and beat him relentlessly, and the "minus one" characters seemed to pop out of his forehead.

After making a fuss for a while, Jing Wei seemed a bit tired. She fluttered her wings and flew back to the treetop.

Not long after, she flew out again carrying a wooden branch, and the feathers on her forehead lit up, sending the wooden branch to the sea.

Wu Wang stood under the tree, hugging his arms, and a light smile appeared on his face as he looked at the figure of Jing Wei walking out of the green mist. It was like a drop of water falling in his heart, causing ripples, and the round moon reflected in the water was shattered because of this.

He couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that Shen Nong senior arranged all of this? When he diagnosed his strange illness, did he calculate all of this? Did he want to recruit him as a son-in-law?"

So that's why he was thrown here to cultivate a relationship with Miss Jing Wei?

But how could a human and a spiritual body have children?

Ah, he was thinking too much! Love must be mutual, not arranged by the previous generation!

But just now, he was able to communicate... To be able to communicate, this might be the only female he can get in contact with in the Great Wasteland, except for the Sky God who cursed him.

Was he going to become a celibate in the Great Wasteland?

No, the old senior's wish should be to save Jing Wei. If Jing Wei was no longer a spiritual body, he would not be able to communicate with her anymore.

Unconsciously, Wu Wang leaned against the slightly glowing divine tree, hugged his arms, smiled, and watched Jing Wei's tireless figure for a long time without moving.

Half an hour later, Wu Wang suddenly remembered that he had more important things to do.After his divine consciousness began to recover, the first thing Wu Wang did was to let his spiritual sense spread out and explore the environment of the entire island and its surroundings.

The island was full of spiritual energy, and there were patches of spiritual herbs growing everywhere, most likely planted by the ancestor Shen Nong.

Several types of spiritual herbs were said to have disappeared in the Great Wasteland, but here they were, one patch after another.

The outer perimeter of the island was a shallow sea with clear blue water and white sand at the bottom. Coral reefs and schools of spiritual fish abounded, and there were no vicious sea beasts within a ten-mile radius covered by the formation.

Wu Wang flew towards the formation and put on the two rings given to him by Shen Nong. A black and a white aura burst out of them and drilled into the formation.

Can he leave?

Wu Wang suddenly felt a warning in his heart, and the necklace on his chest trembled slightly.

He quickly flew backward, but a beam of light suddenly burst out of the formation in front of him and hit him on the shoulder!

A huge force hit him, and Wu Wang flew hundreds of feet away with a scream, plunging directly into the sea.

On the cliff of the island, Jing Wei, who had just flown out of the treetops with a stick in her beak, turned her head and looked over. She widened her bird eyes and dropped the stick from her mouth, flapping her small wings to fly over.

...

Blue sea, white sand.

A young man sat cross-legged on the beach, scratching his head and laughing. His wet hair was still dripping water.

A bird in front of him hopped on one leg and flapped its wings while chirping "Jin Wei, Jin Wei" incessantly.

It seemed to be lecturing the young man.

Pong!

With a light sound, Wu Wang looked up instinctively and saw the slowly rising green smoke. A girl in a light green short skirt with bare feet stepped out of the smoke.

Wu Wang reacted much faster this time, locking his gaze on her face to avoid any rudeness.

But how could he describe her beauty? Her eyes were like peach blossoms, her eyebrows like willow leaves, and her ears were translucent. She was simply stunning.

The girl, Jing Wei, tilted her head slightly, surprised by Wu Wang's compliment. She hummed, seeming a little annoyed, and a blush appeared on her face. She quickly wrote two lines of ancient human characters in the air and turned around to disappear into the green smoke, transforming into a divine bird and flapping her wings away.

Wu Wang carefully deciphered the complex characters and quickly understood their meaning: "This place is covered by a formation, and trespassers risk death."

She's quite kind-hearted.

Wu Wang shouted, "Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful!" But he received no response.

If she is still alive, she must be an ancient person, Wu Wang thought.

He sighed softly, spread his wings, and flew towards the formation again. This time, he did not touch it easily but circled around it to confirm that there were no dead angles in the formation.

"Fast or slow, it could take several days or even years," Shen Nong's warning combined with the situation here made Wu Wang have a bold idea.

If Shen Nong comes here in a few days, he must be worried that Wu Wang will run away with his precious daughter.

If Shen Nong comes here in a few years, the old man probably has some ulterior motives.Actually, there is another possibility.

If the senior cannot come... cough, the Human Emperor is invincible, sweeping through the Great Wasteland!

The other possibility is actually the path of combining thoughts into a god.

When communicating with Senior Shen Nong, the senior mentioned this matter and said that "the Human Realm has tried it before."

If the remnant soul and spiritual body can be cultivated into a postnatal god through the method of combining thoughts into a god, then it is indeed a resurrection of Jing Wei.

After just practicing the method of combining thoughts into a god in the Kingdom of Women, Senior Shen Nong found him in advance and sent him here, which is likely for this matter.

But it's not right. Without the arrangement left by the goddess in the Kingdom of Women, how can one create a god out of thin air?

Moreover, the story of Jing Wei filling the sea has been circulating in the Human Realm for many years. If Senior Shen Nong wants to use the method of combining thoughts into a god, why wait until now?

He was definitely sent here by the senior for some deep meaning.

"Well, it's useless to think too much. Let's wait and see first before Senior comes."

Before the senior arrives, he should communicate with Fairy Jing Wei more and at least become friends first.

Wu Wang looked at his attire, quietly sneaked to the other side of the small island, used his mana to open a small barrier, and stayed inside for half an hour before stepping out.

Look at him!

White clothes like snow, long robes like brocade, well-built figure, handsome face, lips and teeth like jade, the young master with beautiful eyebrows and clear eyes, the Moon Festival, his long hair was neatly combed, and the soft hairband floated gently in the sea breeze.

He took out a folding fan, with a faint smile, and walked towards the tree below.

- His cultivation is too low to fly; the star wings are too eye-catching and destroy the overall beauty of the outfit, so he can only walk.

As he walked to the bottom of the tree, Wu Wang shouted loudly:

"Fairy Jing Wei, are you tired from filling the sea?"

There was quiet under the tree, only the slight flapping of the bird's wings.

"Um, Fairy, do you know where this is and where it is in the Great Wasteland?"

Puff puff puff puff...

Wu Wang blinked and still did not give up. He waited under the tree for a while and saw Jing Wei's bird flying over. He shouted loudly:

"Fairy! Are you on Fanfou?"

Jing Wei's bird flew away with broken wood in its beak, leaving six faint ink dots in the air.

Wu Wang stood under the tree, and a gust of wind blew past him, taking away a slightly yellowed leaf.

Why doesn't she respond?

There was not even a hint of eye contact.

Is it because of some strange soul reason? Or is his charm too low?

He did not give up. He finally met an opposite sex who could feel each other's temperature, how could they become strangers like this!

Even if he could be poked a few more times, or his shoulder could be pinched, it would be a great happiness!

Wu Wang took a deep breath, turned around and fiddled with something under the tree, and took out a North Wilderness animal skin drum. He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to beat it.

After a while, the animal skin drum was replaced with a bronze gong, then a jade flute, then tree leaves, and then an erhu.

Even Wu Wang used his ultimate move, taking out a sanxian and playing the famous piece "Fairy Jing Wei, Look Over Here."

However, Jing Wei's bird did not turn its head.

From late night to early morning, Wu Wang sat under the tree a little exhausted, watching the birds flying back and forth above his head with a bitter smile.

It can be confirmed that it is difficult for her to perceive anything in this state.

"Forcing me to use my ultimate move!"

Wu Wang took a deep breath, jumped up from under the tree, aimed at the opportunity when Jing Wei's bird flew towards the sea, took out a hair tie, and tied it around a tree branch, then put his head in it.

Then, he bent his leg and made a hanging posture.After being able to circulate his inner energy, holding his breath for several months was not a problem.

The divine bird that flew back suddenly had sharp eyes, the light on its colorful feathers on its forehead faded, and its speed suddenly increased!

Just as it was about to reach the bottom of the tree, it exploded into a cloud of green smoke in mid-air, and the graceful figure flew out from within, embracing Wu Wang's waist and pulling him to the side.

Wu Wang looked up at the pretty face close at hand, her snow-white neck, and felt the slender hand wrapped around his waist, his heart suddenly pounding.

As the figure circled around, Wu Wang was placed on a gentle slope, while Jing Wei stood half a foot away with a stern face, staring at him.

"What are you doing? Why are you treating your life so lightly?"

"Immortal, you are truly kind," Wu Wang immediately said, "I apologize for using your kindness to awaken you.

But, Immortal, can you talk to me?

I really want to know more about you, and I want you to know more about me."

As he spoke, Wu Wang took two steps forward, the sunlight shining through the treetops onto him, illuminating his slightly apologetic smile and his somewhat helpless eyes.

The innate Sky God who cursed his seven or eight-year-old self;

The inheritor of a great clan who had a strange disease that made it impossible for him to interact with women;

He went to the Kingdom of Women, but had to be vigilant like entering a bathhouse with a safety rope tied to the soap;

He had feelings for the women around him but dared not express his feelings, even deliberately distancing himself;

Knowing that cultivating the Yan Emperor's Ninth Layer was more difficult than ascending to heaven, and that he was definitely the latest to start, he still held on to some hope, wanting to free himself from the shackles of the Sky God, and even having the strength to slap the Sky God a few times...

It seemed as if a thousand words were stuck in his throat, but at this moment, Wu Wang just sighed lightly, with his hands behind his back and a smile in his eyes.

"It's so nice to meet you so early."

"Huh?"

Jing Wei blinked, and like a small mushroom after the rain, one question mark after another appeared above her head.
