Chapter 399

Originally, Nezha still wanted to have a fight with Ao Bing to decide the winner.

But Ao Bing was not a mischievous child like Nezha; he was very well-mannered.

He bowed and said, "Thank you for saving my life, and thank you for saving this little girl. I have always been clear about gratitude and grudges; I will surely repay this kindness with all my might in the future."

Nezha was stunned for a moment, then beamed, "Small matter, small matter, acting on behalf of Heaven is my mission, and slaying demons is what I'm best at!"

Nezha was incredibly happy.

Since he was born, this was the first time someone had treated him like this.

The little girl wasn't afraid of him either, and she held out a shuttlecock to Nezha, "Big brother, hit the monster!"

Nezha smiled even more happily.

And so, under the setting sun, Nezha and Ao Bing happily kicked the shuttlecock, with the little girl watching from the side as an audience.

This scene was full of warmth.

As they kicked, Nezha cried.

Ao Bing was the only person besides his parents who was willing to play shuttlecock with him.

He had finally made a friend.

Only.

Good times don't last.

After Ao Bing left, the commoners chased after them with weapons, thinking Nezha had kidnapped the little girl. They kept attacking Nezha with their weapons, and in his anger, Nezha chose to fight back. Fortunately, Master Master Taiyi arrived in time and successfully stopped both sides.

On the other side.

Ao Bing returned to the Dragon Palace and reported the day's cultivation progress to the Dragon King and Shen Shen Gongbao, while also telling them he had made a friend named Nezha.

Shen Shen Gongbao sighed repeatedly about "enemies meeting on a narrow road" and told Ao Bing that Nezha was the Demon Pill.

The Dragon King told Ao Bing that the Dragon Clan had once helped the Heavenly Court suppress sea monsters, and these monsters were now all imprisoned in the lava of the Dragon Palace.

Although the Dragon Palace sounded imposing by name, it was actually a celestial prison.

His Dragon Clan were merely jailers of this celestial prison, and he, as the Dragon King, was at best a warden.

The entire Dragon Clan was trapped forever in this underwater purgatory along with these monsters.

They wanted to escape this life, and Ao Bing had become the hope of the entire Dragon Clan. Everyone was counting on him to achieve great things in the Investiture of the Gods war, ascend to Heaven, and thereby help the Dragon Clan escape.

The burden of an entire clan was pressed onto Ao Bing's shoulders.

"Ao Bing is just a child too, it's just that he doesn't have the suppression of the Universe Ring, so he looks much more mature than Nezha." Watching Ao Bing bow again, Sister Reba's heart trembled slightly.

Nezha's life wasn't easy, but Ao Bing's was even harder, carrying a thousand-pound burden.

Finally.

The movie entered its final scenes.

Li Jing and his wife found out the truth, learning that Nezha had truly gone to slay demons and hadn't kidnapped the little girl.

But Nezha's heart had already been wounded, and he had become incredibly dejected.

He huddled in his room alone, reciting a doggerel poem.

"I am a little monster, carefree and free, I kill without blinking, I eat people without salt..."

Even the shuttlecock game he usually loved, he didn't want to play anymore.

To make him happy, Lady Yin decided to hold a birthday banquet for Nezha on his birthday.

That day was actually the day the Heavenly Tribulation Curse would descend.

In other words, it was Nezha's death date.

She wanted her son to be happy during his final moments, even if it meant continuing to lie to him.

"But the commoners hate Nezha so much they want to lock him up; why would they come to the birthday banquet?" Master Master Taiyi said with a headache.

Li Jing said calmly, "Leave this to me. I've checked, the slime left on his hands was indeed from a Yaksha. At the birthday banquet, I will restore Nezha's innocence."

"But..." Lady Yin knew how much the commoners of Chen Chen Tangguan hated Nezha; even if Nezha was innocent, it would be hard to get them to come to Li Fu to celebrate his birthday.

"Having been the Regional Commander of Chen Chen Tangguan for all these years, I still have some face. Even if I have to kowtow to every household, I will beg them to come. Don't worry..." Li Jing walked forward alone, leaving behind a silhouette.

At this moment.

In the cinema, sobbing sounds could be heard.

Some audience members were deeply moved by Li Jing.

"Pity the hearts of parents everywhere, lying and kowtowing just for their child's happiness."

"This kind of Li Jing is really handsome!"

"Yes, a father's love is like a mountain. Although not as obvious as Lady Yin's love for Nezha, it is just as deep."

"It's a pity Nezha is going to die soon."

"Sigh."

"I don't dare to keep watching."

"What a wonderful family."

"I'm speechless at the Gu Wang lady; she can even break hearts with characters in an anime!"

"The protagonists in their works need nine lives!"

"In the Investiture of the Gods, after Nezha died, Master Master Taiyi brought him back to life. I hope this movie has the same ending."

"Agreed! If Nezha really dies, when the movie ends, I'm going to storm Xu Mingyue's Weibo. Can't you hold back a little? Constantly breaking hearts isn't cute at all."

Li Jing actually managed to invite the commoners of Chen Chen Tangguan for Nezha.

They sat in their seats with dejected faces, while musicians played mournful music.

In this situation, it didn't look like a joyous banquet to celebrate a birthday at all.

Finally.

In the eerie atmosphere, the birthday banquet began.

"Please welcome the little birthday boy!"

The protagonist of the birthday banquet—Nezha—walked into the venue with a gloomy face.

It turned out.

Just a moment ago, Shen Shen Gongbao had found him alone and let him know that he was the Demon Pill, not some reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl.

He finally understood why everyone hated him and kept calling him a monster!

And he also knew that today was the day of his great tribulation.

In the cinema, the audience looked at Nezha and felt inexplicably oppressed.

There was a feeling that a joyous occasion was about to turn into a tragedy.

At the same time, they felt heartbroken.

"Disciple, today is your birthday. Guess what gift Master has prepared for you?" Master Master Taiyi said with a smile.

Nezha didn't answer, his face still as dark as water.

Master Taiyi pulled two divine artifacts from his pants: "The Fire-Tipped Spear and the Universe Sash, today I officially pass them to you!"

"And there's a big gift too." Master Master Taiyi whistled.

Instantly, a fat flying pig flew through the air.

It was the one Master Master Taiyi was riding at the beginning of the movie.

Could it be?

The audience all showed surprised expressions.

Could Master Master Taiyi be passing this pig to Nezha too??

Everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips.

It was really hard to imagine the scene of Nezha fighting while riding a pig.

The Pig-Riding Vanguard—Nezha!

I'm afraid the Shang Dynasty army and the Jie Sect immortals would laugh their teeth off.

"From now on, it will be your mount. Come, touch it." Master Master Taiyi said.

The audience had black lines on their foreheads.

It really felt like the Investiture of the Gods was being ruined by Xu Mingyue.
