The Spirit Beasts Who Were Digging the Earth II

Fu Chen's eyes darkened, as he lowered his eyes. He had lost all his energy.

"Mom." Qing Han raised her small pink face. "The Ninth Emperor did not die. He disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

"Yes." Qing Han stroked her small head. "Actually, I do not remember him very well. We were quite young at that time. We just remembered that he had always watered us and talked to us every day."

"But, one day, the Ninth Emperor came into the garden of the spirit herbs and told us that his lover had gotten into trouble. He needed to leave the Divine Herbs Sect. He even ordered the sect masters of every generation to take good care of us. Then, he left and never came back."

Their impression of the Ninth Emperor was only that much.

They were too young at that time so they lacked spiritual wisdom. Thus, they could not remember his face and his spiritual qi. 

They could only hear what he had said to them every day.
