I'm about to get a slight punishment....because I kicked down a little fairy who want to come in between my parents from 33 Heaven...
Although no one can punish the great me, the fairy I kick down was legitimated citizen of the kingdom of gods...who ascend using merits...
Therefore, it's not about punishment. It's about refilling the merits I lost while kicking her down...
I've to go down to mortal realm doing good deeds and refill that lost merits..
Mama look really worry about me. She is trying to persuade dad with red eyes.
"My daughter is still so young. How can 50 years baby survive in mortal realm alone? I haven't teach her about the sinister nature of humans,beasts and demons. Can't we wait a little? "
" How many years do you need for education ? "
" How about 100 years?"
" No..Our baby don't have merits saved from mortal realm. It'll affect the size of palace and title Heaven assign her when she come off age if we drag on too long."
Dad look anxious like Mama.
Sure enough.... I was impulsive...
But I've no regret about this... Mama's view of dad is already bad enough.
If I let my dad to make decision and he end up lenient of her because her sin is not big, Mama will get angry. When Mama get angry, all I see is my broken family...
They just had a small fight last night. Dad had a criminal record of having harem full of beauties.
"Don't worry too much, queen. I'll pull some strings. The mortal realm department won't dare to make our princess suffer.."
Dad says such words with righteousness.
What can a baby of 50 years old say? Look at Mama face....look at dad face...then just nod...
" Even though our baby must go down later, this accident make her need more merits. We'll send her down two months later. Let's prepare some golden fingers for her in case she need them.."
" Then...it settle....."
What am I busy with in this two months?
I'm binge reading the novels that my Mama painstakingly collected from mortal realm.. Umm.. to learn the sinister nature of humans, beasts and demons.
You can't see what future bring you. Right? I even hang out with the fairies from China ascending with Taoist merits. Damn...the informations they imparted on me are so spicy.
*****
Two months later
My dad take me to the god in charge of mortal realm department.
" Your Majesty.. "
The officials kneel before us..
" Rise "
Dad dismiss them with a wave of his hand.
" Let's prepare what we need "
As we sit around the table, the god in charge take out the form and start asking me questions.
" Your highness .. due to your constitution, you can't reincarnate into a life that is too low. In all realms, planes and worlds....only two meet the conditions. "
" You're innate god with divinity born from gods. So mortals can't bear your parent's role. You've to reincarnate into the lifeforms that don't need parents. Therefore, you can choose from cultivation world and magic world."
My jaw dropped as he mention my parentless fate in mortal life. Yes, I'm in fifties but I'm still a baby.
I'm only about 5 years old compare to human standard. I think I deserve parents.... sob...
Cultivation world give more choices. There are many spirts born from heaven and earth such as sword spirits, artifact spirits, tree or plant spirits and so on.
However, the natives in this world are too cruel. Dad says he can't interfere with cultivation world too much. Why? The systems are not compatible.
Heaven give us godhood.
These cultivators rebel against heaven. I heard they fight and kill in a drop of a hat. I guess I can't survive in this world.
Then again, the magic world seem a tiny bit better. However, the systems are not compatible again. We are gods with merits but they are gods with faith.
" If you want to choose the magic world.. your highness,only one race is available. The elven mother tree....In that way, your citizens will be your own child...No one will betray you. You can build your own kingdom until prosperity and reap many merits.."
What kind of illogical third rate thinking is this? I'm underage in Heaven but will become mother figure of the whole race in another world. No, it can't be like this.
Even in real crisis, one should struggle with all one's might when there was a chance.
I raise my hand try to reject this outrageous proposal..
" How about a...no..?"
Sadly... my rejection is invalid. The consultation meet with complete acceptance of my dad...
Dad even think it's not that dangerous compare to the cultivation world.
OMG....I think I need to be forced to cultivate my sense of shame as a mother of thousands or more...Should I drove my sense of shame to negative value...
I don't want to associate myself with any part of that description... I'm not sure if I should regret or not now...
" Okay then..Just make sure others don't know which world I go..."
If it is not discovered, it can be treated as if it doesn't happened. Dad look quite pleased as my breeding ability is just like plants bear fruits. Guaranteed no creature named man involved...
Before I go...Mama preaches me not to get cheated by men for the whole night..
Mama's goal: to prevent these scum men from approaching me
My goal: if I can't prevent these scums from approaching me, I'll revenge them with the ways that Mama always want to revenge dad.... Like cuckolding....
I was sent to the magic world like this... I can't take attendants normally. But who am I? I'm powerful second generation. I've privilege ordinary gods don't have.
Taking gods to accompany me is impossible yet contracting divine beast is fine. Dad make me contract with pegasus since he represent luck and purity. In fact, his best trait is that he run very fast.
Just like this, a young sapling appear in the depth of the Rainforest. The sapling try so hard to grow up by absorbing magic power day by day..
It look harmonious with the environment yet strange at the same time. It doesn't look like a real sapling instead look like a carved jade.
I only get conscious after absorbing magic for 10 years. My contracted beast is still not waking up. I can only fend for myself. I try to strengthen myself with not only magic particles but also by drawing fertilizer from the earth around the roots. It truly tasted so awful that my soul nearly evaporated.
Sapling needs to mature first to pull out the roots or to bear fruits. This waiting last for over 90 years, still no sign of maturity. Even so my instinct tells me I just need to wait for 5 more years.
It bored me to death. I get so bored that I start counting my leaves, other trees's leaves and even the blades of grasses around me over those years...
My mentality also change. The kind of elderly mentality that could tolerate anything at a glance. I wonder if I'm cultivating my mentality than collecting merits.
The peace doesn't last long though. On one summer night, I see a group of knights camping near me. It's seem like they're looking for something. it's unlikely but I hope they don't see me.
"Hey..What is this? Look over there...It look precious.. "
A knight point his finger directly towards me. Then all the eyes of knights gather on me.
I'm about 1.5 meters tall after 95 years of nourishment. Still my unique colour give away...
I'm so conspicuous. Only the blind will miss me with my luminous body.
I'm just 5 years away from maturity. After waiting patiently for 95 years, is that all I get? I can't even move yet.
The leader of this knight order come near me and inspect my branches and leaves closely.
" Is this tree rare elixir? Let's not destroy it. Try to persevere the roots as much as possible. We don't want it to die.. right?.."
" It's so beautiful.. "
"Let's dug it out after our mission is done. We'll find that herb tomorrow. It grows near the lake. The map shows...Hmm... it's around the corner. 2 km from here.."
Holy shit.... They decide my fate casually on the spot. It'll affect my maturity if I pull the roots out and try to transform.
Sure enough... I'm very precious... ToT...
I decide to try waking up the Pegasus since I don't know the side effects.
" Wake up...hey Pegasus .. wake up... "
Anxious, I yell out loud in my consciousness.
" Huh...what happen master? I think it's not the right time to wake me up. If I remember correctly, you still need five years.."
" I'll be gone if I wake you up in five years. What will happen to me if I pull the roots out now? I need to run as soon as possible. "
I explain him how these knights want to dug me up and why I need to run.
" You can transform early. However it's like this....you've recharge 95 percent.. so..the side effect will be being a child until you're fully charged..You still need my divine power for transformation... I can give you my divine power but I'll fall asleep... Mmm...it should be like this.. If you can accept this, go ahead.. I'll wake up when you're fully charged.."
I guess I should run. The forest is not dangerous for me, a tree. I don't need help that much here. I'll wait until they go and search the herb tomorrow. Or until they took their eyes off from me...
" So...it's the jade tree the knights talk about. It's so beautiful. I'm sure your uncle will like it very much..."
A pale woman walk slowly to me. In her arms, she hugged a child about one year old. She was a graceful beauty with brown hair and green eyes. The child didn't look like her.
He is cute little boy with red hair and green eyes. Thankfully his facial features are right, if not he'll look ridiculous with this green and red combo...
The boy's not so cheerful eyes lit up when he saw my luminous branches and leaves. He waves his little hands toward me, hold my little branch and pull hard.
"Snap..."
The little branch with five leaves fall into this little demon hand. My heart suddenly feel cold. I must run. I can even see my bald future self if I were to be taken to the human territory.
That graceful lady laugh happily over my misfortune ( I guess so),as if she hasn't laugh heartily for a while. She kisses the boy cheeks with sad eyes.
" You'll be better soon, my little star. Mommy promises you. After we find this purification grass, you'll never feel the pain of two bloodlines fighting again. Mommy is sorry to put you into this..."
Well...half of my anger gone after her painful words. Little bastard, I'll reluctantly forgive you. I never thought you'll be in so much pain of being the impure bloodline bearer.
" Your highness, it's too late tonight. The little prince also needs to sleep. We'll move at dawn. Please try to rest a bit.."
The knight commander comes to remind the mother and son to rest.
"Pegasus.. deliver your divine power .."
After the trio left, I impatiently pull my roots out and try to transform into human form with the help of divine power. Transformation takes place with a....
" Poof..."
A little shortie that look like five or six years old replaces the not so tall tree. Looking at the short legs and arms, comparing with the physique from heaven....it makes no sense....
Damn it....it makes no difference!!!!
The surrounding trees look too tall for me. I seriously look like a little mushroom now. My long curly hair fall to the ground. I bend down and hug the hair to avoid dirtying them. I don't know how I look like because it's too dark.
But hey... it's not the time for me to fantasize how I look. I should run using my short legs. I believed if I run away fast enough, no one can catch up.
A short little mushroom trot wildly in the dark night, hoping those knights won't catch up with her...
And she don't know, the child who broke her branch is chewing that branch in his sleep. Humans may not find the branch desirable but the boy is half dragon, half human... his instinct desires to eat this branch and leaves. Thus,he ate it cleanly.
The run away shortie is missing her parents and her mind returns to the happy days before the punishment.....
