Chapter 101: Slaughtering Guanyin's Golden Fish Spirit for the New Year, no problem, right?

~7 min read 1,347 words

Chen Family Village.

It was almost New Year's here; although every household looked festive, there was also a sense of gloom.

"Where is that family you mentioned to borrow a room?" Nezha saw that the village was not small and didn't know how Tang An wanted to find people.

"It should be that family, let's go ask." Tang An pointed to a family that had no festive decorations.

Most importantly, not only were there no Spring Festival decorations, but it also looked like they were holding a funeral at home.

After asking passersby, Tang An was even more certain that that family was the family of the young boy to be sacrificed this year.

If Tang An remembered correctly, the boy should be called Chen... Chen something Bao. She remembered the girl's name clearly, called Yichengjin.

"Member Chen?"

Member Chen was standing at the door, having just handled some things, and hadn't had time to go inside.

He turned around and saw Tang An and Nezha, feeling they were strangers, and had never seen these two children before.

"Who are you two?"

Tang An introduced herself. "My name is Tang An, the Destined One heading to the Western Heaven to seek scriptures from the Great Tang."

"This is my disciple, Nezha."

"Nezha?" Member Chen sighed at Nezha. "Child, you shouldn't have the same name as the Great God of the Three Altars; you won't be able to suppress it, be careful of the immortals blaming you."

The kindness of a stranger made Nezha pause.

But...

"I am Nezha."

"Sigh~" Member Chen sighed again. "I shouldn't say much about your name, young friend, just a reminder."

"I don't know what you two have come to find me for?"

Tang An nodded slightly and bowed. "We are Scripture Seekers passing by and want to borrow a room for the night. Seeing that your family is in trouble, we'll help you out as a thank you for borrowing the room."

"How do you know my family is in trouble?" Member Chen was somewhat shocked.

"Member Chen, can we go in and talk?"

"Good, good, good, please, the two of you." Member Chen hurriedly invited them in.

Passing through the courtyard, Tang An saw two children playing in the yard.

One girl looked about six years old, and the child walking was still unsteady, only about two years old.

Both dolls were carved from pink jade, like New Year picture dolls, especially cute.

"Children, come, have some candy." Tang An took out some candy from the Universe Bag and gave it to the two children.

They were really so cute, Tang An couldn't help but pinch their little fleshy faces.

"Thank you, Sister~" The girl called out sweetly, very polite.

"Thank you~ Sis, Sister." The boy called out unclearly, in a milky voice, also very well-behaved.

"Ah~ too cute!" Tang An's heart was almost melting. "Nezha, come, hurry up."

Seeing Nezha just standing behind her without moving, Tang An pulled his arm to pull him over.

"Let me introduce you, this is Brother Nezha. Hurry and call him Brother, Brother also has candy for you." Tang An took a handful of candy for Nezha and put it in his hand.

"Squat down, no need to be so tense, there are no monsters here for now."

The little milky baby looked timidly at Nezha, craving the candy in Nezha's hand, but still obediently called out.

"Bro, Brother."

Nezha's eyelashes trembled slightly, his expression moved.

"Very cute, right, squat down." Tang An pulled him to squat down together. "Come on, little brat, call him Brother again."

"Bro~ Brother." The little milky baby seemed a bit bolder and dared to approach Nezha.

Tang An's hand grabbed Nezha's wrist and sent the candy in his hand out.

"Yichengjin, you come too, come and call him Brother, call him Brother Nezha."

"Brother Nezha." Yichengjin wasn't afraid when she saw Tang An, and gathered her courage to call out.

Mainly because Nezha's killing god momentum was too strong; that he didn't scare the two children to tears at the beginning was already because Tang An was by his side, and he was very restrained.

"Here, take it yourself." Tang An pulled Nezha's arm further forward.

Nezha watched Tang An holding his wrist, looking down elsewhere, not pulling his hand away, but letting her toss it about.

The two children looked cautiously at Nezha, and only after confirming that Nezha really wouldn't bully them did they dare to take the candy from his hand.

"Thank you, Brother Nezha." Yichengjin took the candy, then ran into Tang An's arms and kissed Tang An on the face.

Tang An's eyes shone brightly, her heart was melted by her again.

Nezha was slightly puzzled, as if he didn't understand why the candy was given by him, but the child was willing to be close to Tang An and kiss her.

The little milky baby leaned over, staggered to Nezha's arms, and learned from his sister, kissing Nezha once.

At that moment, Nezha's eyes also lit up.

He... since he had memories, he had never been treated so intimately.

Everyone feared him, dreaded him, respected him. Many monsters, even more so, would shiver just by looking at him.

But the child in front of him was actually not afraid of him.

Nezha looked at Tang An in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"You hold that one, I'll hold this one, let's go."

Tang An smiled warmly and handed the little milky baby's hand to Nezha.

The little milky baby's hand, small, tender, was a feeling Nezha had never had before.

"Let's go." Tang An took Yichengjin's hand and signaled Nezha to follow.

Nezha looked down at the little milky baby. "Go?"

The little milky baby nodded. "Hold."

Nezha's mouth twitched, very awkward; the key was that he had never held a child either.

Tang An tried hard to hold back her laughter, looking at the very awkward Nezha. "Hurry up, Nezha."

Nezha stared at the little milky baby and sighed, then... he carried the child on his shoulder.

However, the little milky baby not only didn't feel afraid, but also felt it was especially fun.

"Fly~ fly~"

Three black lines fell on Nezha's forehead. "Mortal children are really troublesome."

However... he still held the child, stepped on the Wind Fire Wheels, and circled the courtyard.

Member Chen was scared to death; how could a perfectly good person fly just by saying so?

"Nezha, don't fly too fast, you'll give the child a cold later."

After Tang An finished speaking, she said to Member Chen: "Member Chen, I said he is Nezha and you didn't recognize him, look at those Wind Fire Wheels, can't you recognize them?"

Member Chen was stunned for a moment, and then knelt on the ground, crying with joy.

"Please, Immortals, save us, save the two children~" He hurriedly kowtowed to Tang An and kowtowed to Nezha.

Tang An hurriedly helped him up. "Member Chen, don't worry, we came here to solve that monster."

Nezha also flew down with the little milky baby, blowing the child's hairstyle straight up.

"Hurry, little Yichengjin, Guan Baoer, hurry and kowtow to the Immortals, hurry."

Yichengjin and Chen Guanbao obediently came over and knelt together with Member Chen to kowtow.

Tang An helped this one up but couldn't help that one, helped that one up but couldn't help this one.

Nezha watched them shedding tears and kowtowing for help, and the killing intent hidden in his eyes reappeared.

"Where is the Golden Fish Spirit, do you know?"

"Ah?" Member Chen didn't know what Golden Fish Spirit Nezha was talking about.

Tang An explained: "It's the Linggan Great King."

"Actually, you don't need to ask him, I know where the fish is." Tang An looked at Xiaotian Quan, then at Jiuyue.

"Jiuyue, you guard the two children here, I will go and return with Nezha and Xiaotian Quan."

"Good, Sister, please go ahead." Jiuyue got up and licked her fur; her fluffy appearance was very attractive to children. ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
