Chapter 24

The evening breeze gradually turned cold. It should be the twelfth lunar month in the human world, but the vast Jade Pearl Palace still looked cold and desolate. Back then, at least there was still a flower and a half to add some color to the pitch-black night. Now, even the everlasting Evening Fragrance Jade had withered.

And the main culprit was me.

"The reason why flowers are so beautiful and captivating is all because of the itchy anticipation when they are budding, and also because of the regret and nostalgia when they wither. If spiritual energy is used to make them bloom, it won't be rare to see them every day."

When I was drinking with the Little White Dragon under the moon, I accidentally drank some wine. Some things that I had always wanted to do but was too cautious to do in the past, were stirred up by the spicy alcohol smell, and it easily dispelled the lingering spiritual energy on the Evening Fragrance Jade.

"It's tiring to keep it open all the time, at least let it rest."

Who knew that the Evening Fragrance Jade had been forced to bloom by spiritual energy for several years, and had long since withered. As soon as the spiritual energy on the flowers and leaves dissipated, the double petals immediately withered, and the fallen leaves returned to their roots. Even the jade-green stem was covered in a dark color, and it plunged into the soil, disappearing completely.

My hand froze in midair, and I blinked. Only then did I realize that I had made a huge mistake, and I hurriedly apologized to the Little White Dragon. This pitiful flower was given to me by Jin Mi. Although she was about to transform, I reckoned that the narrow-minded Xufeng wouldn't allow her to give me another one. If that happened, I would no longer be able to obtain this one-of-a-kind precious flower.

Who knew that the Little White Dragon would stare blankly for a while?

Hua Chen, who was being carried away by the wind, suddenly smiled.

"That's fine, it's fine if it's gone."

I was careless and thought that he wouldn't care. Who knew that after that night, he didn't return to the Jade Pearl Palace to sleep.

Of course, he didn't go anywhere else.

"His Majesty Celestial Ruler said that the Six Realms might be in chaos due to the great changes in the stars in the past few days, so he had to keep an eye on it every night. Therefore, he rested at the Star Arranging Platform in the evening."

The way Wenqu Xinjun spoke was like an old man. Every word he spoke was carefully measured. I was tired of listening to him and was about to send him away when a plate of translucent bodhi fruits was placed on the table. "His Majesty sent this little immortal to the Jade Pool to ask for some bodhi fruits for the Exalted Goddess to heal your injuries. This wooden plate is made from the old bark of the bodhi tree. The fruits will not rot for a hundred years. Exalted Goddess, please enjoy.

I waved my hand to dismiss him. Then, I picked up a fruit and examined it. Did the Little White Dragon really think that I cared about these cut fruits?

If you really want spiritual fruits, there are all kinds of precious fruits in the immortal abode under the Ruoshui Lake of the Shangqing Sect. Those are all trees that grew in the Desolate Era. Every spiritual fruit has the sound of Sanskrit. Eating them can help you comprehend the Dao.

It's just that you don't want to take shortcuts and leave them there to grow.

"Oh, you're quite considerate. When that crooked tree bears fruit, the various immortals will split it among themselves. These fruits are probably the only ones left in this batch, yet you're giving them all to me."

A few days ago, my clothes were burned by the Nishang Fairy and I lost face in front of so many immortals. When I came back, my legs and face hurt. My mental defenses collapsed and I spoke without thinking. I actually used Jin Mi to threaten him to make an Empress. Ever since the dignified Celestial Ruler ascended the throne, he had never been disobeyed like this. I thought that he would leave in a huff and leave me hanging in the Jade Pearl Palace for ten or twenty years. Who would have thought that he would just reach out and fasten the Spirit Locking Hairpin on my neck.

"It's fine even if you don't go to the Spirit Spring. There's always a way to cure this fire poison."

Sigh, the Celestial Ruler's thoughts are really hard to guess. I put the plate of fruits into my mustard seed and carried it with me. Then, I got up and stretched.

Since the Little White Dragon brought me fruits, I should return the favor. No matter what, I should go visit him and give him some warmth.

After leaving the Jade Pearl Palace, I arrived at the Rainbow Bridge in less than two steps. It was a cool breeze and the moon was bright. The stars in the night sky were reflected on the colorful bridge. Lush flowers bloomed on the colorful bridge, causing me to take a long detour. I didn't expect that before I was halfway there, a shooting star flew past the edge of the night sky. I raised my nose and sniffed. It smelled like a bird.

"It's the middle of the night. Why is the Demon Lord in the sky?"

I concentrated and pinched my fingers. It was the death of Tai Wei.

The night was still young, so I wasn't in a hurry to meet the Little White Dragon. I used a stealth technique and quietly flew to the Hall of Sages. As expected, I saw Xufeng in black kneeling in front of the hall. He was mumbling something that I couldn't hear clearly.

"Who is it?!"

I thought about it again and again and removed my stealth. This phoenix's cultivation was pretty good. He immediately turned around and slapped at me. Three ordinary flames appeared and I dodged to the side. However, I forgot to take off the Spirit Locking Hairpin. My hair was loose and a few strands fluttered in the wind. They were careless and were burned to ashes by the flames.

"Chiling God?" He was shocked. He cupped his hands and bowed. "High Goddess, please forgive me!"

"When you saw me, other than words like 'High Goddess, please forgive me', 'High Goddess, please calm down', and so on, did you not say anything else?" I lazily dug my ears. "I don't like to follow??

Lena's prayer?

What's wrong with you? "

Ding Ding!

His phoenix eyes flickered, and he looked a little embarrassed. But in a flash, he thought of something and bowed again. "Xiao Shen heard Uncle mention that Shangshen's miraculous hands have already found a way to save Jinmi. Xiao Shen doesn't know … doesn't know if she is well now. Has she … revived?"

"She hasn't. Saving her is quite troublesome!

It took me a lot of effort! "

The troublesome part was fake. The last sentence was the truth. I was strolling around the Hall of Sages in the vast immortal fog. The previous Celestial Ruler was a familiar face. Although it wasn't very nice of me to insult his son in front of the Supreme Divine Plane, I did it for his other son. Wouldn't it be more fair?

"When I went to the Big Dipper Palace, I heard that you went to Shang Qing Heaven a few times. Why?

Are you trying to take Jin Mi away without telling me? "

"This little god has no such intention!"

He immediately looked up with a sincere expression. "This little god just misses his lover. Even if I can see her from afar, it would be good enough!

Moreover, Shang Qing Heaven is vast and mysterious. This little god has yet to find it … If the High Goddess is unwilling, this little god will never go there again! "

"Why would I not be willing?

I just hope that you know that Jin Mi had a marriage contract with Run Yu when she was alive. After she died, I saved her life for Run Yu. Therefore, when she comes back to life, she will naturally marry Run Yu and become the Heavenly Empress.

Since you think that it would be good to see her from afar, you can bring the betrothal gifts on the day of the wedding. Then, you can see her in person. I think you will be even happier! "

"No!

Jin Mi and I love each other. That marriage contract was signed by Jin Mi when she was still young. She was subdued by Yundan. Her mind is not complete! "

Xufeng's eyebrows were as sharp as blades. His phoenix eyes were burning with fire. When the High Goddess is angry, the sky really changes color. The immortal fog in the hall dispersed as if it was avoiding the God of Pestilence. The surrounding wind blew up a corner of my skirt. I stood firmly in the midst of his anger and smiled coldly.

"Yundan was refined by me. I just took a strand of her soul. How could she be not complete?

The dignified High Goddess is full of nonsense. Do you think that you are still three years old with yellow hair?

When she signed the marriage contract, she didn't love anyone. However, in her heart, she was thinking about spiritual power and the lives of her parents. If you think that the marriage contract should not be valid, then why don't you think about that Green Snake Yan You. After he got drunk, he caused chaos in the court. Presumably, his mind was also not complete.

He was speechless and his anger dissipated. He was like an old pine tree, slowly decaying from the inside out. He was so decayed that he couldn't straighten his back anymore.

"If two people don't love each other, even if there is a marriage, isn't it torture?

The High Goddess's heart also belongs to someone. You can't not understand. Could it be that you want Run Yu to marry Jin Mi? "

It turns out that even the Demon Lord understood my feelings for Run Yu.

"Naturally, I don't want to."

The ashes in his eyes reignited, but in the next moment, they were fiercely extinguished.
