Chapter Eighty-Four I Will Protect You

  The dot girl seems to be very mischievous today and it's hard to log in, so I'm late. Thank you for the rewards from Little Dog Fish and One Night Dance Dragon.

  =============

  It's been a long time since I've slept so comfortably and worry-free, as if I'm back in my mother's arms, feeling that unparalleled warmth.

  Wu Zetian was dreaming. This time in her dream, she didn't see those ugly and frightening things, but only something that made her feel at ease.

  Right, she took a closer look and it was Wu Yuan!

  The first time she saw him was on TV, where he was streaking naked and causing a sensation throughout the city. At that time, Wu Zetian laughed with great joy and remembered his name firmly.

  Then she cared about this person as if she liked Yu Xianrong very much. She had watched the VCD of Haicheng Holiday, a movie that made her watch it repeatedly.

  Not long after, he suddenly turned against his father in France, leaving Wu Zetian stunned. He was actually his own half-brother, accusing his own father and sending him to prison!

  The girl fell into silence this time, unable to do anything but wait for fate's arrangement. Soon after, her father called her and wrote a letter to her, reminding her to listen to Wu Yuan's words and not be afraid, etc.

  He soon came to the mental hospital and took her out.

  Contrary to Wu Zetian's expectations, when she saw him, she was not afraid or terrified, but instead felt as if she had seen her father, with a sense of blood connection.

  She followed him into a villa and then, following his instructions, she made every effort to show off her skills. She had no other requirements, just hoping not to be beaten by him was enough.

  "I will protect you."

  In her dream, that person whispered to her.

  "A promise is a promise."

  She stretched out her fingers, wanting to high-five him, but never managed to touch his hand.

  "Ah."

  Suddenly, the girl woke up from her dream and looked around vigilantly. There was no one else there. The curtains in the living room had been drawn, and it was very dark. After checking her clothes, everything seemed fine. It wasn't until then that the girl remembered she had dozed off on the sofa next to Wu Yuan.

  The quilt on his body was something from Wu Yuan's bedroom, and so was the pillow, which had a faint scent of a man.

  She tiptoed down from the sofa, and like a cat, she slipped around the room. Feeling safe, she put on an apron, picked up her tools, and was about to continue with the big cleanup when she heard the sound of the villa's door.

  It was Wu Yuan who came in, carrying down many large and small boxes from the car.

  "Alright, these are game consoles, game cartridges, books, these are some girls' clothes, and also cosmetics and so on."

  Since you don't want to see people, I won't force you, but...

  Wu Yuan's expression turned serious.

  "Firstly, go to bed before 10pm at night, absolutely no staying up late, and definitely not pulling an all-nighter like last night!"

  Secondly, you don't feel safe and dare not go out. Fine, I won't force you. The first floor to the second floor, except for these two rooms, the rest are your territory. You can stay at home and have fun.

  I originally wanted to buy you a pet dog, but Dr. Huang said that even dogs would bully you when they see you, so I didn't bother. You can play with these game consoles and discs, and surf the internet as you please, but remember, every two hours you must get up and exercise, got it?

  Thirdly, you're a girl, don't dress up like a monster all day long. Of course, I understand your difficulties, afraid of causing more trouble, so I bought you so many girls' clothes, you can wear them at home."

  Wu Zetian nodded, wanting to say something, but couldn't bring herself to say it.

  She didn't like playing games or new clothes, but the man's strictness filled her heart with warmth.

  He was the first person who didn't bully her, and his heart was filled with pity for her.

  "Alright, this is your home now. I'll gradually change you so that you won't be bullied by others anymore. You're only thirteen years old, whoever dares to bully you, just stab them with the fruit knife on the table. As a minor, do you understand? Don't be afraid when facing bullying."

  Wu Yuan smiled and pointed at himself, although he knew this was not right, but for Wu Zetian, he could only give her a strong dose.

  "I..."

  The girl wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to say it.

  "Don't worry, I promise, I'll always protect you. Come on, let's hug."

  The man stretched out his hand, warm fingers hooked her heart, and gently pulled, as if a sunbeam had shot into her heart.

  =============

  The following month is a leisurely month and also a tense month.

  Wu Yuan spent most of his time in the safe house practicing Yi Jin Jing and Liu Zi Da Ming Zhou, except when he went out to buy food and daily necessities.

  Everyone will encounter the favor of the goddess of fortune, but those who can grasp the opportunity are few.

  Wu Yuan had a kind of fear in his heart, that was, although this world was distorted beyond recognition, what if one day it replayed the Hong Huang era?

  The story of Journey to the West is set in the Tang Dynasty, and historically, the next emperor after Emperor Taizong of Tang was Emperor Gaozong. Unfortunately, Emperor Taizong's son Li Zhi only had one son and one daughter, and there was no such child as Emperor Gaozong. However, who can guarantee that Emperor Taizong did not have an illegitimate son, or to say, skip this person directly and let Wu Zetian become the emperor of the Tang Empire?

  If Wu Yuan tells this possibility to outsiders, he will likely be laughed at.

  Now the imperial power has declined so badly that the voice of abolishing the monarchy and establishing a republic is very high. If there are no accidents, after several decades, Li Jiancheng will die, and the Great Tang Empire may be renamed the Republic, and he will become the last emperor of the Great Tang.

  But if it wasn't, why does this world have the legend of Qitian Dasheng, and the deeds of the immortal Buddha 500 years ago. Especially when Wu Yuandong dreamed of Qitian Dasheng, some things made him very fearful.

  Wu Yuan didn't quite understand, so he also had no way of knowing that much. What he can do now is to try his best to improve his own abilities.

  Wu Yuan was concentrating on his cultivation, while Wu Zetian remained as she always was.

  Every time Wu Yuan appears in front of her, she becomes very nervous and afraid - thinking about it, it's not that no one has shown kindness to her, including some kind-hearted old ladies. However, as time goes on, those people will involuntarily pinch her and hit her.

  Wu Yuan might have also been attracted by Wu Zetian's innate abilities if he hadn't had the protection of the Six-Character Great Bright Mantra.

  Practicing martial arts is dull, but Wu Yuan was grateful to have Wu Zetian's company at this time.

  Two people gradually had a tacit understanding, every time Wu Yuan walked out of the house, Wu Zetian would have prepared food.

  At night, Wu Yuan and Wu Zetian were playing games on the sofa. The two of them played all sorts of games, although some of which Wu Yuan didn't like that much. But for some reason, sitting next to Wu Zetian, watching her happily let loose and shout with excitement while playing, Wu Yuan thought it wasn't so bad after all.

  The room is getting cleaner and more beautiful every day, the floor is shining like glass, reflecting people's shadows. The glassware is sparkling clean, and there is not a speck of dust on the cloth. Wu Yuan has never found any trash in the house, and Wu Zetian has swept everything perfectly.

  Even the most fastidious person would find it difficult to pick out any fault, and Wu Yuan could only sigh that the innate ability of Wu Zetian was both a blessing and a curse.

  Such a girl, in the entire Tang Empire, may not be found. This is no longer a cute girl, but a gentle girl combined with a super maid!

  It seems that Wu Zetian felt Wu Yuan's kindness and his uniqueness, so in front of him, she became more open. Although still a bit reserved, she was already smiling and chatting, transforming from a timid little cat to a mysterious black cat - the reason why I call her a black cat is because this loli would hide aside whenever she saw Wu Yuan.

  It was a beautiful time, it was a carefree time.

  Every morning, Wu Yuan wakes up to see the busy figure of Wu Zetian in the house, and a hot and delicious breakfast is quickly prepared. When Wu Yuan praises Wu Zetian's craftsmanship without ceasing, the girl's smile is more beautiful than the fresh flowers on the table.

  Next, the girl would report on what happened yesterday and the bill for buying things over the phone - Wu Yuan wasn't trying to find out how much money Wu Zetian spent to have goods delivered, but he needed the girl to communicate more with him. A girl who didn't even see a delivery person, if she continued to stay in the house, it was not a good thing.

  The girl enjoyed this exchange very much and enthusiastically told about how much money she spent, what food, fruits and decorations for the house she bought.

  Domestication and being domesticated, communication and being communicated with, these are all worth rejoicing for him and her. Wu Zetian doesn't need to worry, the sudden slap in the face, Wu Yuan has never shown malice in front of her.

  Every night after finishing playing games, Wu Yuan would call Wu Zetian over to his side.

  He would use the six-word great bright mantra he had learned to help Wu Zetian regulate her body, while also teaching Wu Zetian and coming to learn the six-word great bright mantra.

  Wu Yuan didn't know if Wu Zetian's physique was born or cursed by someone, but as the first Buddhist mantra of the six-character great bright mantra, it might be able to change her physique.

  The girl took this as a caress for her, and when Wu Yuan stroked her head, she felt good.

  Yes, this is a very beautiful and happy day. Many years later, Wu Yuan and Wu Zetian will both miss this lost, never-to-return simple time.

  This is the calm before the storm, he and she didn't know that a storm which would change everything was approaching.
