Who Stole My Eggs?

Tiandi jumped down from the tree, secretly resenting that Wu Xiao came at the wrong time. ‘This big boy will ruin my good deeds!’

“Heavenly Father,” Huo Yao stopped him. “What… did you want to say just now?”

Wu Xiao was about to arrive, and if he could see the clues, he would definitely cause a fuss again. Tiandi was too lazy to manage this trouble and waved his hand feebly. “It’s nothing, just a few gossips, forget it.”

Huo Yao looked at Tiandi’s back and suddenly felt an inexplicable loss in his heart, as if there was some treasure at his fingertips, but it slipped out of his hand.

Huo Yao stepped forward and reiterated, “Heavenly Father, I really have nothing to do with Feng Yi, and I don’t like anyone else.”

Tiandi became even more depressed. “Okay, now that you know it, don’t talk about it. It’s okay for me to mind my own business.”

Huo Yao lowered his eyes. “You are all my family, and I cherish you very much.”

Tiandi glanced sideways at him. Huo Yao rarely showed his emotions like this. What was he hinting at? Could it be that Huo Yao figured out what he was thinking and was rejecting him in a roundabout way?

Wu Xiao already flew over them in the clouds and said loudly, “Heavenly Father, why are you and Huo Er alone in the woods so late?”

Tiandi raised his head and said angrily, “What are we doing? I am his father, and he is my son. What can we do? I am not a pervert!”

Wu Xiao didn’t expect that he would be scolded first, and he didn’t dare to say anything anymore. He dropped down and handed the green lotus in his hand obediently. “Here, Heavenly Father.”

Tiandi looked at the dusty Wu Xiao and felt a little guilty in his heart. It was really unkind of him to send Wu Xiao so far away for his own selfish desires.

Tiandi took the green lotus, raised his hand, and pinched Wu Xiao’s face. “Well done, son, thank you.”

Wu Xiao immediately started squawking again. “It’s a small matter, as long as Heavenly Father is happy!”

Tiandi put his arm around Wu Xiao’s shoulder. “Let’s go drink!”

“Okay!” Wu Xiao glanced at Huo Yao proudly. “Heavenly Father, let’s go take a bath together after drinking. This journey has really been tiring.”

“Good!”

Huo Yao watched Tiandi and Wu Xiao walking away shoulder to shoulder, and his heart sank to the bottom. Sure enough… his feelings couldn’t be accepted by Heavenly Father, who thought they were abnormal…

Huo Yao felt bitter in his heart. He followed Tiandi and Wu Xiao from a distance, listening to them “laughing and laughing” and talking freely, and his heart twisted into a ball again.

Huo Yao looked at his own shadow in the moonlight, cut into pieces by the broken shadows of the branches and leaves in the forest, so embarrassing and ugly.

Huo Yao walked to the entrance of Tiandi’s courtyard and suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance. The depression in his chest immediately dissipated a lot. He looked down and found that the green lotus Wu Xiao had brought all the way had been thrown at the base of the wall.

In the yard, Tiandi and Wu Xiao were already drinking. When they were together, they always had endless things to talk about and endless happiness.

Huo Yao bent down and picked up the green lotus. The lotus in front of the Buddha’s throne had its own Buddha nature and the effect of clearing the mind and dispelling depression. Looking at it, Huo Yao remembered the time when he followed Tiandi to listen to the Dharma.

“All potential dharma is like a dream…” Huo Yao murmured.

Tiandi and Wu Xiao chatted happily, but they kept paying attention to Huo Yao’s movements. Seeing that he wasn’t coming in at the door, Tiandi called out to him, “Huo Er, come over and have a drink!”

Huo Yao said nothing.

Tiandi walked to the door and found that he had gone far, still holding the green lotus in his hand.

After that, Huo Yao became obsessed with Buddhism, either studying Buddhist scriptures or going to the Buddha to listen to the scriptures and discuss Taoism with him.

Seeing this, Tiandi became more and more disheartened. Before, he had worried that Huo Yao would fall in love with someone else, but now it was worse. He seemed to be becoming a monk. He didn’t like anyone anymore!

At the same time, Tiandi realized that his spiritual form might not last long. He had been away from his body for too long and should have gone back long ago. However, looking at Huo Yao’s appearance, he was really afraid that when he went back, he would be like Huo Yao and completely forget everything in the world. In that case, it would truly be impossible for him and Huo Yao.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tiandi felt that it was still necessary to ask Huo Yao clearly. Even if he didn’t remember what had happened the day before, based on today’s feelings, would it still be possible for them?

It just so happened that Huo Yao had been out for a month to listen to the Dharma. He had just sent a letter yesterday; saying he would be back in two days. Tiandi decided he would ask him when he came back.

That night, there was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain fell all night long. Because Tiandi was no longer entangled, he slept more soundly than usual.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Tiandi opened his eyes, there was a loud “boom–,” and a giant snake fell from the sky, smashing a big hole in his roof!

“What’s going on? What’s going on?” Wu Xiao, who had heard the noise, hurried over and was stunned when he saw the giant snake with its intestines pierced in Tiandi’s room. “Heavenly Father, what’s going on?”

Tiandi was also shocked and walked up to the giant snake. “I also want to ask, what’s wrong with you, Demon King Xie?”

The giant snake in front of him was none other than Xie Xiao, the king of demon world. Xie Xiao was on the verge of death, struggling to lay her head at the feet of Tiandi. “Heavenly Father, please save me!”

It turned out that Xie Xiao’s end had come. Her demon power had been greatly reduced recently. She had offended so many ghosts, demons, and deities in the past, and now that they knew she was weak, they all came to seek revenge. Xie Xiao was unwilling to die like this, so she tried her best to escape from the encirclement and came here to seek a chance for life.

Xie Xiao begged, but Tiandi was unmoved. Seeing this, Wu Xiao stepped forward, hugged Xie Xiao’s big tail, and dragged it out. “Don’t think about it. Heavenly Father won’t interfere with life and death in the world. You ask Heavenly Father to extend your life, but why not ask Heavenly Father to give you a happy life? Let’s go. Well, since you’re about to die, I won’t ask you for compensation.”
