With a flash, Hua Qingcheng appeared in front of me. Ignoring what the gods thought, she grabbed my sleeve and tried to leave.

"A gentleman uses words, not fists; let's talk things out." I reached out and freed myself from the restraints on my arms, and tried to reason with him in a gentle and polite manner.

Your Highness, the gods proposed that since True Immortal Red Butterfly calls me Master, it is up to me to decide whether he stays or leaves.

...

Three days later, Hua Qingcheng and I were packed up by Mo Han and sent to the Immortal Clan.

Hua Qingcheng transformed into the mistress of Fufeng Palace, while I went from being the future empress to the bride of a celestial deity.

It's equivalent to her going from being the future mistress of the gods to the official mistress of the immortals.

When Mo Han told me about this, I was quite surprised and taken aback. I immediately turned to ask my father and mother, but they were not surprised at all, as if they already knew.

Later, I asked Mo Han again, "Didn't he love me terribly since we were little? How could he let go so easily?" He said it was fate and told me to cherish it. He also told me some things about him and Hua Ying.

He said he was sorry to me, that he fell in love with Huaying, and even had a child with her—the little fairy who called her a heartless and ungrateful deity the day before.

As for their engagement, he had already sent someone to dissolve it with my father.

After he finished speaking, I didn't feel the loss, pain, resentment, anger, or jealousy that I had in the storybook. It wasn't even as strong as the feeling brought on by the infatuation pill. I just felt a little reluctant, as if something was slipping through my fingernails and I could no longer hold on to it.

As for why I agreed to marry Fu Zidu, firstly, it's because I felt that I was going to get married sooner or later anyway, so it didn't matter who I married.

Secondly, it's because he's good-looking and even looks quite like Ji Ruchen.

Thirdly, it is because he is a dead man; he is the progenitor god Fu Zidu who buried himself alive and slept at the pinnacle of creation.

We met in the illusion; it was the person who mistook me for the Whispering War God.

Wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, and riding the ancient Qilin, also known as Xue Xiaobai, I circled the Nine Provinces and Four Seas before being sent to the Immortal Clan's Azure Sea Love Heaven Immaculate Palace.

I married a rooster.

After the ceremony, the current Immortal Emperor Hongyue personally escorted me to the Peak of Creation, to the Ice Palace that had been frozen for countless years.

I don't know why, but I feel very familiar with this place, as if I've always lived here.

Guided by my intuition, I naturally found the ice coffin containing the body of the deity. It was indeed exactly the same as the one I had seen in my illusion.

For some reason, his hair was completely white, his face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he looked pained.

Even knowing he was dead, I still felt that he was in so much pain, as if he was constantly struggling with something.

Before I could think any further, my heart began to throb with pain, as if some force was trying to tear my heart out of my body.

The pain was excruciating. I tried to regulate my breathing and circulate my internal energy, but unfortunately, my skill was too shallow to contend with the power within my body. I could only send a wisp of my divine sense into my body to investigate.

As soon as my consciousness entered my body, it was enveloped in a golden light. The leaf that Ji Ruchen had given me had grown into a towering tree in my dantian. In mid-air, a ethereal golden hand was grabbing the towering tree, trying to uproot it.

I also discovered that, without me noticing, a woman in blue robes wielding a gleaming sword had entered my dantian.

That figure looked exactly like the woman I saw in the jacaranda tree, also holding a sword, also with her back to me.
