Heavenly Destiny Untamed Fate

Chapter 53

Author's POV

Hua Cheng walks off with Lan Wangji far enough so that his son can't hear their conversation "Wangji, the place I'm sending you and A-Ying is a pocket realm, it only has one connection to the outside world, here take this." He hands Wangji a small coin.

"Keep this with you at all times, it's the only way in and out of that realm without A-Ying rolling his dice. Rub it counterclockwise four times and think of the house and you will teleport to the porch stairs. I'm giving you this because I know that you might need to leave the realm for any number of reasons. You can teleport out normally, but this is the only way back in without my son."

Lan Wangji nods to his father-in-law "Thank you A-Die, I know I will feel the need to check on our family in Cloud Recesses, I also want to keep updated because I know that without those updates Lan Ying will worry and that's not good for him or the babies."

Hua Cheng smiles without mirth "I know how my son is and that's why I am giving you this coin. Take care of him and keep him there at all costs."

Lan Zhan takes Lan Ying to the pocket realm and the gods organize with Hua Cheng to retrieve the yin iron. With the tracking that he placed on the pieces he is able to find them pretty quickly, it takes a few months, but they track all of the pieces down except for the sword, for some reason, the sword tracker has been disabled. Each of the yin-iron pieces was scattered across the world with talismans meant to hide them attached to each.

Only two of the four items that were missing from the Ghost City have been found, the Earth Movers shovel hasn't been found and all of the god's spiritual items have been retrieved. Everything has been very quiet and running normally since those items have been brought back to their rightful places. The heavenly vault has had its security upgraded and so has Hua Cheng's room.

The missing staff were two women who were saboteurs and betrayed Hua Cheng, taking the items out of the manor. That room has now been completely closed off and only Hua Cheng has access to it. Lan Ying is getting close to his due date and even though Lan Wangji has been coming regularly to check on the progress of everything and the status of his family has now packed enough items to welcome his children when the time comes.

Baoshan Sanren is staying with them so she can be there to assist with the birth of the children. "A-Ying, you need to eat something before we go on our walk."

He turns and looks at his grandmother "I want Shijie's soup, I don't want anything else." His bottom lip sticks out as he crosses his arms over his large pregnant belly.

She sighs "You know we don't have the ingredients to make it and none of us are leaving until after the babies are born. Come on, you like the pheasant and herb soup I've been making you, or how about the fish stew Wangji makes? You like both of those."

He shakes his head "No I want Shijie's soup, I want the sweet and savory taste of the lotus root and the pork ribs, it's such a perfect balance of flavors." He looks off dreamily as his mouth waters.

Baoshan rolls her eyes and huffs "I know you are craving it sweetheart, but we just don't have what we need to make it for you."

A tear rolls down his cheek "I only have a few things I can eat that don't burn my stomach and now I can't even have one of them."

He turns to walk away while Baoshan sighs feeling bad for him, he really can only eat a handful of things without being sick to his stomach from it burning. She walks over to see where Wangji is and finds him on the porch looking out over the lake.

She walks over and stands beside him "You heard him?"

He nods crossing his arms over his chest "I'm going to go get the ingredients for the soup, he can't eat much, and I hate denying him one of the few things he truly enjoys eating. I will be quick, but I am going."
