Become the Strongest God

Chapter 04

In a hut with woven bamboo walls. The grandmother laid little Long Chu on the floor, before that she cleaned and spread out the shabby cloth she had so as not to itch little Long Chu's skin.

Then she made a fire from two scraped stones. The fire burned quickly on three large stones and he put a cauldron to boil water.

After waiting for a while for the water to boil, he lifted it directly without any intermediary. He's used to doing that, maybe his hands are already immune to hot water.

sHe spilled on a large log that he had made a hole in the middle of, then walked back to the hut. He took water with the cauldron, but now he brought cold water and mixed it with the hot water. Then returning to the hut to lift Little Long Chu, he did so with all his affection. Like his own grandson, without a doubt.

something he hadn't done for a long time since he lost his family. Favorite husband, son, daughter-in-law and grandson. "I will care for you like my own grandchild, even though one day we will be separated." she said while bathing little Long Chu with warm water.

Little Long Chu smiled with his cute face. Round eyes with curly eyelashes, chubby cheeks, soft lips. sHe has a slightly sharp nose and wavy black hair plus a full body weight.

Occasionally he laughed when his grandmother tickled his hips. The grandmother passionately kissed little Long Chu's forehead and then covered him with her long unstitched cloth. Then took his back to the hut and put him to sleep while humming.

After that he made a simple shirt from his long piece of cloth which he cut with a small knife. After several pieces were finished, she put them on without waking little Long Chu

.....

King Chu Yuan raised the newborn child high in front of the many people watching and gave him a name, "You will be known by the name Chu Yang! Be a strong and wise king someday." he said then handed it back to Bai An's hand to be given milk for the first time. He kissed Queen Bai An's forehead with sincere affection.

'Unfortunately he is not your son,' he said in his heart but his mouth only smiled at King Chu Yuan who didn't know anything about it. 'Consider him your real son, even though it doesn't change anything.'

After that, King Chu Yuan left Queen Bai An's residence and headed for Concubine Ling Hua's residence, "It looks like my wife is also about to give birth! Hopefully she will also give me a son." he muttered on the way. accompanied by maids who are always ready whenever needed.

After King Chu Yuan died, General Chu Lei came to Queen Bai An's chambers by sneaking in and still carrying a red package in his left hand.

"Darling!" General Chu Lei's voice sounded clearly in Queen Bai An's ears. "Sorry, I can only meet you now," he said, then gave her a gift that was in his right hand.

"Thank you darling!" said Queen Bai An while hugging General Chu Lei.

"I've killed Ling Hua and brought her child's body. Do you want to see it?" Chu Lei asked, then raised the red packet a little higher.

"No need, I really trust you. Honey! Do you want to see our child?"

"Of course I want to see my beloved son." he said then let go of Queen Bai An's hug and walked towards the baby's bed which was equipped with a rug.

"You are so handsome, my son," he praised, then kissed his son's forehead. "Have you given him a name?" He immediately turned around and asked Bai An

"Yes! He gave the name Chu Yang!" Bai An replied, after which they hugged each other.

"I'm going to go, I'm afraid Brother Yuan will come back quickly after finding out Ling Hua is not at his residence." General Chu Lei said

"Be careful" Bai An said then brought his head closer and they kissed for a while then separated.

On different sides, but still in the same scope.

King Chu Yuan arrived at Consort Ling Hua's residence and the guards immediately greeted him.

"Is Ling Hua inside?" King Chu Yuan asked the guard.

The guard immediately replied, "Concubine Ling is not with the King."

"Where did he go? Do you know where he is?" King Chu Yuan asked with a slight raise of his eyebrows.

"He said, Concubine Ling's parents were sick and asked to go home, the concubine was accompanied by several ladies-in-waiting and soldiers who were guarding her." The residence guard replied.

"Why didn't he tell me? I could have escorted him, or at least General Chu Lei could have escorted him." he grumbled then turned back to Queen Bai An's residence.

King Chu Yuan only had two wives, one as queen and the other as concubine. The two women came from two quite large and influential families.

Bai An was the son of king Bai Shang who still ruled in the south. The two of them were betrothed.

Meanwhile, Ling Hua came from a large clan in the western region. Their meeting occurred when Chu Yuan visited the Ling Clan to discuss cooperation. The Ling clan was one of the best traders in medicine and had expanded to other cities and even to the level of the Empire.

(There were Four Emperors who once existed and still stand today and their power is unwavering.

This story is set in the Eastern Continent at first, but we don't need to discuss the Empire too deeply.

Just a little information, the Eastern Continent was ruled by the Qing Emperor and he ruled several Kings under him

The king in this story is like a governor representing a province. and one province has many cities under its control and there are also other small villages.

and one continent to another continent is separated by a fairly wide ocean, and if you want to go to another continent you have to use a sailing ship and have to sail for a month. And in sea areas there are usually sea pirates who often disturb ships' journeys)

"Dang Liu, you go to the Ling Clan. Ensure my wife's safety in childbirth and look after her for me like you would your own life!" King Chu Yuan asked.

"Servant accepts the king's orders!" He said then stepped back slowly and disappeared.

Dang Liu is an assassin who was specially trained to protect the royal family, he underwent training in the empire. And has been a patron for more than twenty years.

King Chu Yuan immediately entered Bai An's room. while Bai An fell asleep with her child beside her after breastfeeding. He saw something next to his wife's body. but he didn't think much of it.

Then he sat down to meditate and entered into silence…
