Chapter 3

After returning from the River of Forgetfulness, I thought this guy was going to commit suicide and not eat or drink, but I didn't expect him to be so sad that he had no tears. Every day, he hung the stars in the morning and night, lecturing and discussing Taoism. I knew that I didn't have the talent to persuade people, so I pretended not to see him. After wandering around the Nine Heavens for half a year, I started to get bored again.

Today, I wandered around the boundary of the Residence of Marriage and heard the sound of an opera. The Immortal under the Moon had left the residence for three months and finally remembered his original job. However, listening to opera didn't seem to be part of his duties.

"You must be the Fairy Doctor by Run Yu's side!"

The fifteen-sixteen-year-old boy parted the curtain made of natural silk and glanced at me impatiently. "Is that ungrateful brat looking for me?"

Ungrateful person?

He must be denouncing the Little White Dragon for his foolish actions.

"No." I touched my chest and took out a spiritual pearl. "Do you need to pay for this opera?

How about a hundred years? "

"You are in cahoots with Run Yu. The Residence of Marriage doesn't accept such a shameless person. Go somewhere else and listen!"

The boy ground his white teeth a few times, as if he was chewing on a chicken bone. I looked at him carefully. It was a red-haired fox. No wonder his appearance was outstanding.

"Fox Fairy, don't be angry. I have nothing to do with Run Yu. I just came to the Celestial realm and had nowhere to stay, so I borrowed the peace of the Xuanji Palace."

"You … what did you call me?"

The boy changed from his previous fierceness. He looked at me with watery eyes, like a little puppy hungry for food.

"Fox … Fairy?

If you don't like this name, I won't call you that. This world is so boring. Only opera can relieve boredom. I will give you five hundred years of spiritual energy. What do you think? "

I was about to take out a few more pearls, but he grabbed my wrist. "I like it, I like it!

This old man likes it very much. In the future, as long as you call me Fox Fairy, I will listen to your opera for free!

Come, come, come in. "

This red-skinned fox was really fickle. I quickly put away the spiritual bead. Since there was a free play to listen to, I didn't mind him calling himself 'old man' in front of me.

I picked a comfortable seat and sat down. While I was at it, I brought over a plate of sunflower seeds and fruits. Fox Fairy held two balls of red thread in her hands and came over. "How should I address you, Fairy?"

"Just call me Chiling."

In the end, we were in someone else's territory. Although I disliked him for being noisy, I had to be patient and accompany him.

"Xiao Chiling, the Jade Pearl Palace is very quiet, and the Jade Pure Palace is too strict. It's not as prosperous as my Residence of Marriage. Why don't you move here? I'll set up a stage for you every day, and you can watch as long as you want."

As the saying goes, one should not receive a reward for nothing. Moreover, I had split a strand of my spirit to wrap around Run Yu's head. Naturally, I couldn't be too far away from him. Just as I was about to find an excuse to leave, a group of heavenly soldiers came in. Fox Fairy's expression changed drastically. She stood up and scolded, "How dare you!

I haven't returned for a few months, and my Residence of Marriage has become a wild place. Can any Little Immortal enter? "

"Immortal under the Moon, please don't be angry. This is an urgent matter. Please forgive this Little Immortal for being rude." Wuqu Xingjun separated the heavenly soldiers and bowed. "His Majesty sent me to pick up Fairy Chiling."

"Pick me up?"

My hand that was twirling the sunflower seeds froze. I had only listened to the play for two minutes, and I was already called back. "Does Taixingjun know what's going on?"

"This subordinate doesn't know. Fairy, please move quickly."

"Of course, of course. Lead the way."

"Hey, Xiao Chiling!" Fox Fairy reached out to stop me. I smiled slightly. "Fox Fairy, I'll come see you tomorrow."

We rode on a cloud, but we weren't heading to Shang Zheng's Grand Hall of Divine Wind. I stomped on the slippery rainbow bridge. Isn't this the way to the Xuanji Palace? Why do I have to issue an edict just to return to my palace?

At the end of the Rainbow Bridge, there was still the palace that no light could penetrate in the daytime. It was hidden in a secluded forest with flickering shadows. Who would have thought that the Lord of the Heaven Realm would not stay in the bright and magnificent Pure Jade Palace, but prefer this deserted place?

"Little White Dragon, when did your edicts become so worthless that you can issue them so casually?"

I grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds before I left and was happily munching on them. I saw him standing in front of an unbloomed Evening Fragrance Jade. His eyes were calm. Ever since Jin Mi passed away, he seemed to have always been like this. There was no longer any sadness or joy.

He waved the heavenly soldiers away and took out an ancient scroll. He flipped it over and handed it to me.

The ancient scroll was a picture book. When I flipped it open, the drawing was very detailed. It was a scene of a woman picking herbs. Her hair was scattered on both sides of her red dress. Her slender waist was slightly bent, and her white fingertips were holding a stalk of Rhapsody Grass.

"May I ask if the picture is of the Fairy herself?"

I felt that the sweet sunflower seeds in my mouth were hard to swallow. The corner of my eyes twitched.

Which damned person had so much free time to secretly draw me!

He even published a book!

"Uh … That's … probably … right …"

The moment I responded, I saw a shooting star flash across his silent eyes, like a flickering flame in a moonless night. The ice on his face, which was as cold as a carved ice sculpture, suddenly broke. Even the silent hall warmed up a little.

"Run Yu didn't recognize you. Please forgive me, Divine Doctor!"

He waved his cloud brocade robe and knelt down. I sighed deeply in my heart and used my soul to support him. I didn't accept his bow.

"It's just that you've lived for a few more years. You don't have to bow like a junior. I know what you're thinking. It's just that Fairy Jin Mi's body and soul have been destroyed … You have to restrain your grief … and accept the change …"

"It's recorded in the ancient books that eighteen years before the Era of Heaven, Zhenwu Great Emperor's general Po Xie fought with the Department of Ghosts for more than three months. His primordial spirit was broken into three thousand pieces, and most of them were devoured by demons and monsters. The Divine Doctor used his own strength and only took three pieces to revive Po Xie!

Jin Mi, Jin Mi, she … should also … "

The Little White Dragon's voice was choked with sobs. His gentle eyes were misty. My heart skipped a beat, and I sighed, "You can't believe everything recorded in the books. Po Xie's primordial spirit was strong, and it took him ten thousand years to recover before he could transform. Jin Mi hasn't ascended yet. Do you know the difference?"

The night wind gradually cooled down. Inadvertently, the Evening Fragrance Jade with its petals closed quietly bloomed. The Little White Dragon staggered as he turned around. The white flower plate came into his sight. Memories flooded him, and the beauty smiled just like yesterday. He clutched his chest, his sorrow unraveling, and the pain seeping into his bones.

"So it's like this …"

I lowered my head and stared at the Evening Fragrance Jade that didn't know anything about the world. Without love, one would be free and easy. Without love, one would be unyielding. The saints didn't lie to me. It's just that the Little White Dragon looked so down and out that I couldn't help but want to intervene.

Forget it.
