Perfection: He is the Heavenly Emperor, I am the Eastern Emperor!

Chapter 13 Seeking Help from the Willow God

"Yes."

Shi Yunfeng nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Shi Ziling and Qin Yining, his expression a mixture of complex emotions and感慨: "They claim to be from the Martial King's Mansion of the Stone Kingdom, and according to the records in their clan's ancient books and some clues, they believe that our Stone Village may be the ancestral land they have been searching for."

"This return is not only to confirm the identity of our ancestral home, but more importantly, it's for..."

At this point, Shi Yunfeng paused slightly, then looked at the sleeping child in Qin Yining's arms and said, "In order to find a way to save this child."

"How to treat it?"

Hearing this, Shi An was slightly surprised, then looked up at Shi Ziling and asked, "Uncle, may I ask what happened to this child?"

"Hao'er, he..."

When Shi An asked about Shi Hao, Shi Ziling's expression darkened, and he then told everyone present about Shi Hao's experiences.

"What? How can there be such a heartless aunt in this world?"

After hearing Shi Ziling's account, everyone present, as well as those watching from the sidelines, were filled with righteous indignation.

"This is simply unbelievable! How could she do something so cruel! How could she dare to do such a thing?!"

"How can such a wicked woman be worthy of being a mother! How can she be worthy of living in this world!"

·······

In an instant, curses and condemnations rose and fell, as if the entire Stone Village Council site was being overwhelmed by a torrent of anger.

Even Shi An, who already knew everything, frowned deeply, his eyes flashing with barely suppressed rage.

Seeing this, Shi Ziling was filled with even more grief. Thinking of his sister-in-law, Shi Ziling felt that he shouldn't have let her go back then, but the situation at the time left him no choice.

Thinking of that scene, Shi Ziling took a deep breath, forcibly calmed his emotions, and turned to Shi Yunfeng, saying, "Elder, in addition to confirming the ancestral land, we hope to use the power of the ancestral land to find a way to save Hao'er."

"I have heard that there is a mysterious power left over from ancient times in our ancestral land, which may be able to save Hao'er's life."

"this········"

However, to Shi Ziling's disappointment, after listening to his words, Shi Yunfeng, Shi Linhu and the others looked at each other, their faces full of helplessness and apology.

"Elder Chief, if you could..."

Upon seeing this, Shi Ziling assumed that it would cost a great deal to use that power, and immediately prepared to make a promise.

You may have misunderstood.

But before he could finish speaking, Shi Yunfeng said with a look of dejection, "It's not that we're unwilling to treat this little guy, but..."

At this point, Shi Linhu continued, "But after so many years, the village's traditions have long been severed. The strongest traditions in the village today are nothing more than a few ancient remnant bones."

"How could this be...?"

Seeing that the two didn't seem to be lying, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining's expressions changed immediately, and they unconsciously took several steps back.

They thought that finding their ancestral home would save Hao'er, but who knew that this would be the result? If this is the case, what should they do with their Hao'er?

"Hao'er..."

Thinking about it, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining looked at Shi Hao in their arms, their eyes filled with reluctance and despair.

Their Hao'er is still so young, and has not yet truly begun his journey in this world, yet he has already suffered so much hardship.

In an instant, Qin Yining's eyes reddened. She hugged Shi Hao tightly, as if she wanted to use all her strength to protect him and prevent any harm from getting close.

"Is there really no other way?"

Seeing this, Shi Ziling was also filled with grief. He asked Shi Yunfeng and the others again, his voice trembling slightly, a father's helplessness and struggle in the face of his child's life and death.

However, Shi Yunfeng had no way to deal with this. The tradition of their Stone Village had long been broken off, and even if it hadn't, Shi Yunfeng couldn't be sure if there was a way to cure Shi Hao, because his injuries were just too... severe!

"Sigh~"

Thinking of this, Shi Yunfeng, Shi Linhu, and the others couldn't help but sigh, expressing their condolences and regret for Shi Hao's fate.

Seeing this, Shi Ziling felt utterly hopeless. Was their Hao'er truly beyond saving?

However, just then, a slightly childish voice suddenly rang out: "Grandpa Clan Chief, Father, perhaps we can ask Goddess Liu, maybe she has a way."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ziling, as if grasping at a lifeline, hurriedly turned to look: "I wonder which clan elder Liu Shen is? Where is he now?"

As he spoke, Shi Ziling gripped the speaker's shoulders tightly.

Feeling the immense force coming from his shoulders, Shi An wasn't too uncomfortable, just a little restricted in his movements.

Of course, this only applies to Shi An. If it were anyone else in Shi Village, even Shi Yunfeng, the force on his shoulders would probably be enough to break both of his arms!

While pondering, Shi An looked at Shi Ziling, whose eyes were red and said, "Liu Shen is not an elder of the village. She is the sacrificial spirit of our Shi Village. You should have seen her before. She is the huge lightning-struck tree in the village."

"Is that it?!"

Upon hearing that the Willow God was actually that giant lightning-struck tree, Shi Ziling was first taken aback, but then his face lit up with joy.

Although he wasn't sure if the lightning-struck tree could heal his Hao'er, he had sensed the tree and knew it was extraordinary; perhaps it held the key to saving Hao'er!

Upon hearing this, Qin Yining's face lit up with joy, and the despair in her eyes lessened somewhat. She gently stroked Shi Hao's little face, as if conveying hope and courage to him: "Hao'er, we are saved. Mother will not give up on you."

Once recovered, Shi Ziling immediately released his hands and hurriedly turned to Shi Yunfeng, saying, "Please, clan leader and fellow clansmen, take us to see this Willow Goddess. We are willing to pay any price to save Hao'er."

Looking at his parents, who were full of hope, Shi Yunfeng felt a mix of emotions.

He was well aware of the mystery and power of the Willow God, but he also understood that the Willow God had his own rules for doing things, and not all requests could be answered.

But how could he bear to refuse such a glimmer of hope in such a desperate situation?

"Alright, I'll take you there."

Finally, Shi Yunfeng sighed helplessly and led them out of the room.

Before long, led by Shi Yunfeng, the group passed through the village and arrived at the towering lightning-struck tree.

"Goddess Liu, we are descendants of the Martial King's Mansion of the Stone Kingdom. We have come here today to beg for your help and ask you to save our child."

Under the lightning-struck tree, Shi Ziling knelt down without a second thought, his voice filled with endless pleading and hope amidst despair.

Qin Yining, standing beside her, also collapsed to her knees, her legs giving way. "Please, Goddess Liu, save my Hao'er! He's so young, he hasn't even had a chance to see the world properly yet. Please, save him!"
