Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 758 - 757: That Opportunity Is You, Mianmian
Chapter 758: Chapter 757: That Opportunity Is You, Mianmian
When Hades became angry, Mianmian had already accepted Hypnos’ suggestion to fight Hades first.
Little Bun curled his finger, "Come on, you’re the Western Underworld King, hurry and try a couple of moves with Mianmian."
Hades couldn’t help but think how nice it would be if what Mianmian had said was about hugging him or giving a customary kiss?
But Mianmian wanted to fight!
How could they possibly fight?
With his current state, he definitely couldn’t beat Mianmian. Actually, even if talking about his state before, Hades didn’t feel he could win.
Mainly because the Qi on Mianmian’s body now was too powerful, Hades could tell at a glance the difference between the current Mianmian and the previous one. The one he had seen on the video and the one he saw in person was like a round and cute gem.
Now a sword had emerged from the gem, and Hades did not wish that sword to be pointed at him.
He hesitated, not wanting to fight Mianmian, and with a cold snort from her, she was about to launch an attack.
Right as Mianmian’s sword was about to touch Hades, a thick yet gentle voice came from the sky: "Su Mianmian, I am Emperor Feng Du, and I’d like to invite you to Fengdu Hall for a chat."
Emperor Feng Du!
Mianmian’s sword stopped at the neck of Hades.
She stared in the direction of the voice for a while before looking back at Hades, "Alright, the Emperor is seeking Mianmian for something. Mianmian will go to see the Emperor. You guys should stop bothering people at work in the future, alright? The matter of finding talents for your Underworld, if Mianmian is not busy later on, I might help you then."
Putting a period on this matter, Mianmian rode on her Flying Sword and flew towards Fengdu Hall.
She had been to this place before when she visited the Underworld. At that time, the Main Hall’s doors were tightly closed, and she couldn’t enter.
Uncle Cui said the Emperor was asleep, and Mianmian thought at that time it must be like the fairies in Heavenly Court, either asleep or reincarnated.
Now that Emperor Feng Du had woken up, does it mean that the fairies in heaven would soon wake up as well?
Pondering this, Mianmian saw the doors automatically open, retracted her Flying Sword, and strutted her short legs slowly inside.
When visiting someone else’s home, you can’t just fly in grandiosely, as that wouldn’t be polite at all.
The polite little friend Mianmian, after entering the Main Hall, didn’t look around either and only noticed many pretty candles. It seemed that the architectural style of the Main Hall in Fengdu City was the only one that remained the same as before—probably when they renovated, Uncle Cui and the others didn’t dare to disrupt the Emperor, right?
"Mianmian pays respects to the Emperor."
Mianmian’s steps stopped in front of a statue, and then she performed an ancient courtesy.
Primarily because she hadn’t seen the Emperor himself, only this statue.
After Mianmian completed the courtesy, Emperor Feng Du’s voice rang out again in the Main Hall, "Mianmian, may I address you as such?"
"Of course, the Emperor can call me that."
"Good, for now, I can only communicate with you through voice and haven’t the ability to reveal my form, I hope you will forgive me."
The Emperor was way too polite, Mianmian blinked, "It’s okay, it’s okay. What did you want to see me for, Emperor?"
"That I was able to awaken actually has a lot to do with your widespread good deeds, letting the people know of the Underworld’s existence," the Emperor said, followed by a moment of silence, his tone growing grave. "I asked Du Ting about you. Du Ting told me you have already been to the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea King and even met face-to-face with the culprit responsible for sending the gods of Heavenly Court into a slumber for reincarnation. You must also know from the memories of the Little White Dragon just how formidable that object is."
"That object?" Mianmian immediately thought of the Dark Qi that turned the family of the Little White Dragon into white bones. After a pause, she hesitantly voiced her answer, "Does the Emperor mean that black fog?"
"Yes," Emperor Fen Du replied swiftly, before continuing, "That thing appeared just as the people in the world began losing faith in the divine."
Emperor Fen Du began recounting to Mianmian in his deep voice.
In the past, people would hold various sacrificial rites and activities during festivals to communicate with the gods, generating the power of belief to sustain the gods. But as the world evolved, the lives of the people in Dragon Country became filled with technology and intelligence, and their forms of entertainment gradually increased, resulting in the gradual forgetting of these ancient traditions.
Take, for example, the New Year.
In the past, during the New Year, people used to set off firecrackers, hang red lanterns, and put up couplets to ward off the Nian Beast. Now, these practices have been overlooked. Instead, Christmas, a holiday that originated from abroad, has become more popular each year.
If it were a one-time event, it wouldn’t have been so bad, but as this continued year after year, the power of belief received by the gods weakened increasingly. Coupled with the decline of Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth, the powers of the gods were collectively weakened.
Then one year, as the gods of Heavenly Court gathered to declare that things couldn’t continue this way, that they needed to find a way to connect with the modern world so their existence wouldn’t be forgotten, the crisis occurred.
"That black mist came out of nowhere, its power immense. No fairy nor Bodhisattva could withstand it," Emperor Fen Du explained gravely.
"Even the Three Thousand Worlds upheld by the Buddha of the West were ineffective before it. It emerged from an unknown place, bringing death and destruction..."
Upon hearing this, Mianmian’s eyes widened.
This description, how could it be so similar to the Heavenly Demon from the Little World?
As she was stunned, Emperor Fen Du continued, "Fortunately, at the critical moment, a voice instructed us to work together to resist. We used all our strength to repel it, albeit briefly."
This plot, it’s also similar to when everyone in the Little World joined forces to drive the Heavenly Demon to the Demon Realm!
"Later, that same voice directed us to choose between entering a slumber or reincarnating, waiting for an opportunity to completely eradicate it," said Emperor Fen Du, pausing once more.
Mianmian suddenly felt as if a pair of gentle eyes were fixed on her.
"That opportunity is you, Mianmian."
Mianmian thought again about how, in the Little World, she was everyone’s darling, the issue of her being born with a Spiritual Body! In fact, in this world, upon her initial encounters with demons and spirits, didn’t they also say she smelled divine? The fellow at Fahua Temple had even said he wanted to eat her, hadn’t he?
Towards the end, it seemed like there were fewer demons uttering such things, right?
Seeing that Mianmian had gone silent, Emperor Fen Du thought his words had frightened her.
Since his awakening, he had only heard about Mianmian’s exploits from various ghosts and subordinates; he hadn’t shared time with her personally. Initially learning that Mianmian was just a nearly four-year-old child, he had been especially concerned.
"Don’t be afraid," Emperor Fen Du racked his brain for how to comfort Mianmian, "I will assist you, alongside those you’ve awakened, like the Black Tortoise Emperor you have already revived, is it not so?"
"No no no," Mianmian waved her little hands, very seriously, "Mianmian isn’t scared! I was just thinking about the time inside the Mountain River Sheji Map, in that Little World, I fought the Heavenly Demon too, and it felt so similar."
This time, it was Emperor Fen Du’s turn to be taken aback.
Su Mianmian had actually been to the Mountain River Sheji Map? And she had already experienced battle with the Heavenly Demon?
Back then, they had decided to name that black mist the Heavenly Demon.
