Volume 7: The Great War Chapter 20: The Moon Shines After the Clouds Clear

The east wind arrives with the swallows, and the grass grows green in an instant. The courtyard is filled with music and singing, but there are birds among the flowers.
The weather at the end of March is dry and pleasant. The bright sun casts light powder of pale golden color everywhere, giving everything a soft and warm texture.
On the road from Shamo to Yonghui City, a brisk carriage was moving leisurely forward. The man driving the carriage was dressed in a plain linen long gown, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. However, the corners of his eyebrows and eyes showed his unconcealed joy.
At this moment, he was driving leisurely , looking back at his wife and daughter who were playing in the carriage, with a slight smile on the corner of his lips.
With a lovely wife and daughter by my side, I can ride my horse across the world without any worries. What else can I ask for in life?
Inside the carriage at that time, Ying Lili and her less than one-year-old daughter Mo Ruoruo were lying on the thick carpet, playing Mo Ruoruo's favorite game of spiritual cocoon.
It has to be said that Mo Ruoruo is worthy of being the daughter of Mo Yi and Gong Lili. Not only is she gifted and able to speak since birth, she even has extremely strong spiritual power. Her personality is a complete replica of Gong Lili, quirky, active and lively.
At this moment, Ying Lili's ten fingers were bent, straightened, flicked, or pointed, changing in a myriad of ways as he unleashed thirty-six spells in one breath. The sound of piercing the air continued as hundreds of white threads flew through the air, instantly weaving a pure white, transparent net that enveloped Mo Ruoruo like a giant cocoon.
At this moment, Mo Ruoruo's small body was hidden in the transparent spiritual cocoon. The spiritual cocoon made of pure spiritual energy was like clouds and mist swirling and surging. It not only could invisibly remove her hair and cleanse her marrow, strengthen her bones and strengthen her tendons, but it was also a very good and interesting game for Mo Ruoruo.
Noila Mo giggled, and her chubby little hands pulled the spiritual power threads, changing them into all kinds of strange shapes, and then she rolled back and forth in the spiritual power cocoon, kicking her feet and having a lot of fun.
When she was tired of playing, she gently placed her chubby little hand on the spiritual cocoon. Suddenly, a blood-red crystal as big as a cinnabar mole appeared faintly on her forehead. The crystal suddenly emitted a dazzling light, instantly illuminating the entire carriage, like a stunning holy lotus blooming at the beginning of the world. A misty vortex immediately appeared in front of her, and the vortex swirled and soared, instantly sucking in all the thousands of fine threads into her body. The huge spiritual cocoon was sucked clean by her in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the blood-colored crystal disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened!
A hint of pride flashed in the eyes of Ping Lili and Mo Yi at the same time. They didn't expect that their daughter could use the Heavenly Stone so skillfully.
Thinking back to the battle with the Demon Lord Nightmare Moon that day, it still makes people's heart palpitate.
If Mo Ruoruo had not sacrificed the Heavenly Stone at the critical moment that day, Ying Lili and Mo Yi would have already turned into wisps of ghosts in the underworld.
After sealing the Demon Lord Nightmare Moon, Mo Ruoruo was heard chanting spells again and again, and the Demon-Suppressing Stele quickly sank into the ground. However, the Heavenly Stone that was originally embedded in the Demon-Suppressing Stele suddenly flew out and sank into Mo Ruoruo's brow.
In an instant, the tremendous light emitted by the stone illuminated the entire sky, as if it was shining with the sky, like a stunning lotus blooming in the early days of heaven and earth!
The dazzling light instantly covered everyone, and a miracle happened!
Mo Yi felt a strong suction force pulling his soul back into the body that had been occupied by the Demon Lord Yan Yue. With a few more movements, he was able to move freely! Mo Yi had never dreamed that he could actually take back this body that belonged to him.
And Gong Lili felt as if every cell in his body was growing again. Looking at the big hole in his body that was punched by the Demon Lord Yan Yue, he found that it was healing at a rapid speed!
It’s a miracle, it’s really a miracle!
Is this the divine power of the Heavenly Stone that can create the world and bring the dead back to life?
At this time, Long Yu and Yu Xiao, who were lying on the ground and seemed to be dead, were groaning and moving slightly. The wounds on their bodies were healing rapidly at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye, just like Gong Lili.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly crossed the sky and headed straight for Noila Mo.
Mo Yi and Gong Lili reacted almost at the same time. They both stood in front of Mo Ruoruo like arrows. Gong Lili turned around and hugged Mo Ruoruo in his arms, while Mo Yi stood in front of his wife and daughter with the Dragon-Slaying Roar in his hand. Both of them looked at the newcomer vigilantly. At this time, the black shadow stopped in front of them, and it seemed that he was holding someone in his arms.
When Mo Yi and Ying Lili saw the newcomer's face clearly, they both gasped: "Father, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than the former patriarch of the Nayu tribe, Mo Yi’s father, Mo Wutan.
The person in his arms, or rather the corpse , was none other than Mo Yi's mother, Han Yan, who had seemingly been reduced to ashes by O Yu.
But how did he get here? And how did he find Han Yan's body?
At this moment, Noila Mo, who was held in Pinglili's arms, gently pushed away her mother's arms, poked out her little head, and timidly called out in a delicate voice, "Grandpa..."
That soft call almost made Mo Wutan burst into tears.
This master who was about to break through the void was trembling all over. This was the descendant of his Mo family, his only granddaughter, and the owner of the Heavenly Stone.
His lips trembled, and after a long while he finally uttered: "Okay, okay, good boy..."
But Noila Mo's eyes at this time fell on the stunning beauty in Mo Wuotian's arms. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then reached out and gently placed her chubby little hand on Han Yan's brow.
At this time, Mo Yi and Gong Lili were both a little excited. They knew Mo Wuotan's purpose and had great expectations in their hearts, but they didn't know whether Mo Ruoruo, or Tianshi, could have the power to bring the dead back to life. Although Long Yu and Yu Xiao had succeeded before, Han Yan had been dead for many years. Would it work?
Mo Ruoruo closed her eyes slightly, and the bright sky stone on her forehead suddenly emitted a mysterious colorful light. After circling in the air, the colorful light turned into seven crystal beads and flew into Han Yan's mouth one by one.
Just when everyone was stunned, they heard Noila Mo clapped her hands lightly: “It’s done!”
Han Yan's eyelids twitched slightly, and then the eyes that had been closed for more than five hundred years finally slowly opened...
At this moment, not only was Mo Wutian in tears, but Mo Yi was also extremely excited. He turned around and took his daughter from Qing Lili's arms, hugging her tightly. Hearing Mo Ruoruo calling out, "Daddy, Daddy," he actually cried with joy...
Finally, after so many trials and tribulations, my long-cherished wish finally came true, and the clouds finally parted and the moon appeared...
All the suffering and hardships seem worth it now.
His daughter, who has his blood, is the only one of his kind in this world.
That was him and her daughter, the bond between them that could never be severed in this world.
He and she have come through wind and frost, sharp blades, knife flashes and blood rain, experienced ups and downs, separations and deaths, and finally the clouds have cleared and the moon has appeared. With such a wife and daughter, what else could a husband ask for?
What more could I ask for?
----------------------------------------
Mo Yi was looking at his daughter who was having a lot of fun in the carriage with a smile on his face, his eyes filled with an unprecedented doting look. Her porcelain-like skin looked as smooth and flawless as top-grade jade, with a faint luster that was crystal clear. With her chubby little face and pink red lips, she was really lovely.
The corners of Mo Yi's lips curved deeper, his eyes filled with smiles. Before this, he could never have imagined that there could be such a lovely angel in this world even if he had spent his entire life on it.
He threw away the whip in his hand and stretched out his hand towards Noila Mo: “Ruoruo, come, come here, come to daddy.”
When Noila Mo heard this, she immediately grinned and crawled in front of Mo Yi in two steps.
Mo Yi picked up his daughter, held her carefully in his arms, and teased her, "Ruoruo, where do you want to go now? Daddy will take you there."
The young Noila Mo leaned in her father's arms and thought seriously, "Daddy, Ruoruo misses Yuxiao and Zeze. Ruoruo wants to go see Yuxiao and Zeze."
Mo Yi's originally smiling face immediately became a little gloomy. Although Yu Xiao and Ze Ze, those two silly boys, had done a good job in protecting Ruoruo, when he thought about his young daughter liking another man so much, Mo Yi felt very unhappy in his heart. He felt like a sad father whose daughter had grown up.
At this time, Peng Lili also sat down next to him. She seemed to have seen Mo Yi's gloomy expression and understood his worries. Suddenly, she had an idea and deliberately acted maliciously: "Ruoruo likes Yuxiao and Zeze so much, why not take them both in and make them her child husbands?"
Although Ruoruo was gifted, she was still just a baby after all. She had no idea what a so-called child husband meant. She thought it meant a playmate and immediately became excited. She clapped her hands and shouted, "Great, great, Ruoruo wants a child husband. Ruoruo wants Yuxiao and Zeze to be her child husbands."
After these words were spoken, Mo Yi's face turned even darker, and he roared in his heart, "Fuck this child husband! My daughter doesn't need a child husband."
But Ping Lili was teasing Mo Yi on purpose, adding fuel to the fire, "Then let's hurry to Yonghui City. Yuxiao and Zeze are waiting for us there~"
When young Ruoruo thought about seeing her favorite Yuxiao right away, she immediately danced with joy and urged her father in his arms: "Daddy, let's go to Yonghui City quickly. Ruoruo wants to play with Yuxiao~"
Mo Yi glanced at Ying Lili with resentment, his eyes filled with deep resentment. He suppressed the urge to turn the carriage around immediately. Ying Lili finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. She gently leaned her head on Mo Yi's shoulder: "I'm just teasing Ruoruo. Besides, everyone is waiting for us in Yonghui City. We can't run away at this critical moment."
