"You killed her?"

The Jade Emperor was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "It wasn't me."

"How could it not be you?" The woman's face was filled with resentment. "You've been searching for Lingkui for thousands of years, it was you, it was you who killed her!"

The Jade Emperor moved his lips but did not speak.

"I will never forgive you."

The woman dropped what she was holding and turned to walk into the wooden house. Suddenly, the two red bracelets on her wrists lit up, and as if she had been startled, she fell to the ground.

"Ah Yun!"

The Jade Emperor rushed forward and embraced her anxiously. A-Yun, locked to the ground in agony, looked up with a pale face and asked, "How long are you going to keep me locked up?"

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Ayun gave a bitter smile, "For my own good? You just watch me suffer from this bracelet and that's for my own good?"

The Jade Emperor was speechless.

"Go away, I don't want to see you."

The Jade Emperor took out the Spirit Sunflower, but A-Yun reacted violently by pushing him away, saying, "I don't need this to save me!"

He ignored her and placed the spirit sunflower on her chest. Ah Yun's heart was damaged; if she had the spirit sunflower, she could live forever.

I hate you.

"Hate it."

After doing all this, the Jade Emperor disappeared, leaving the woman sitting on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Who is she?"

Sisi's true form cannot be discerned. Uncle Jade Emperor seems to cherish her. Could she be the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Consort?

But shouldn't the Heavenly Princess be in the Heavenly Palace?

As she pondered, Zhuque's fingers clenched so tightly they cracked, and she glared angrily at the woman.

"Vermilion Bird?"

Zhuque withdrew her gaze. "She is the Demon King's aunt. It was because I offended her that the Jade Emperor banished me to the mortal realm. And she's still here."

The Demon King's aunt, wouldn't that be Xiao Si's aunt? Did he even know he had an aunt?

As Sisi was thinking, Zhuque rushed forward with a face full of anger, clearly going to seek revenge.

"Vermilion Bird!"

"Summon the clouds!"

Zhuque grabbed the woman like a bird, his face full of mockery. "So you've finally met your match? That's hilarious. Didn't the Jade Emperor pity you? How could he bear to lock you up here?"

Huan Yun's face was deathly still. "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."

Her submissive attitude angered Zhuque, who then grabbed Huanyun by the neck tightly.

Seeing this, Sisi used magic to forcibly separate them, saying, "Zhuque, you killed the Jade Emperor's uncle's people, do you want to die?"

"She's the one who ruined me!"

Huan Yun wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze sweeping over him with a coldness. "What did I do? You were the one who talked back to me, and it was the Jade Emperor who punished you. You don't hate the Jade Emperor but hate me instead. You really don't know what's going on."

"you…"

Zhuque stomped her feet in anger.

Huan Yun ignored her and suddenly focused her gaze on Si Si. "You... are you a goddess?"

Sisi nodded. "I came to find my junior brother. I'm sorry to bother you."

"It's alright, I have no one to talk to here anyway, so your presence keeps me company."

Huanyun started fiddling with the flowers again. She had used the Spirit Sunflower in her body, and her strength was significantly greater than before.

What's your junior brother's name?

Sisi said, "Sui Si is a disciple of Master Taiqing. He was imprisoned in Yuefeng Temple because of a fight."

Huanyun nodded thoughtfully, "Those who make mistakes are usually locked up in the underground of Yuefeng Temple. Go and look for them."

After saying that, she fell silent.

Sisi pulled Zhuque along, still dissatisfied. Sisi dragged her away and returned to the temple. Sisi told Zhuque to stay there while she went underground.

Xiao Si was locked in an iron cage, surrounded by wandering spirits that kept banging against the cage, making a series of resounding roars.

The people inside remained seated, completely unaffected.

"Junior brother~"

Sisi called out softly, and to her surprise, there was an echo from underground. Her voice instantly attracted many wandering spirits.

Xiao Si frowned. "What are you doing here? Go back quickly, it's too dangerous here."

After she finished speaking, the wandering spirits seemed to understand and all rushed towards Sisi.

Xiao Si's heart skipped a beat, but the iron cage was locked so tightly that he couldn't break free. He could only shout, "Run!"

Sisi didn't move. She directly opened the Demon and Ghost Record, and then a shocking scene appeared.

All the ghosts at Yuefeng Temple have disappeared.

Xiao Si stared blankly for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Sisi closed the book and flew to his side, giggling, "Junior brother, isn't your senior sister amazing? She didn't even have to lift a finger."

"Wow, my master will be angry if he finds out you're here." Xiao Si pursed her lips. "You'd better leave quickly. My master won't do anything to me, at most he'll just lock me up for a few days."

Without the monsters, my junior brother won't be tormented anymore. Sisi sat to the side and said, "I know, I'll leave in a bit."

She was wondering whether to tell him that he had an aunt when suddenly a hand reached out from the cage, its palm clenched tightly, as if it had something for her.

Xiao Si looked a little nervous. "Senior sister, could you... could you accept this? I..."

He opened his hand, and inside was a piece of red string.

Thinking of what her senior brother had said, Sisi shook her head. "This is something I can't just accept. I don't have that kind of affection for my junior brother, so I can't accept this from him."

Xiao Si's face turned pale.

I don't have that kind of liking.

She doesn't like him.

"Does Senior Sister have someone she likes?" Xiao Si withdrew her hand and asked again, pretending nothing had happened.

No.

Xiao Si nodded thoughtfully, then asked cautiously after a moment, "Then, Senior Sister, can you try to like me? I can protect you and won't let you suffer."
