Si Ming never expected that he would hear gossip about him and Ling Hua in his own courtyard.

That's really good. He's just going into seclusion, he's not dead. How dare Yun Qing do that?

They said nice things, like not letting outsiders disturb him, but in the end they took over his palace without any politeness and even used it as a free restaurant.

It's one thing for everyone to come here and chat, but they've actually started talking nonsense about him.

It seems I have to teach her a lesson. With that thought, Si Ming forcibly suppressed his discomfort, changed into a new set of clothes, and strode toward the main hall.

During the banquet, the topics of conversation went completely off-topic, to the point that nothing could stop them.

As Yun Qing listened to the various strange tales told by the immortals, she couldn't help but want to share her own secrets as well.

Because she had drunk quite a bit, her cheeks were flushed and she looked tipsy. Her usually lively eyes now seemed to have hooks, inexplicably captivating people and making them reluctant to leave.

"Since everyone has shared the secrets they know, I'll share mine too."

"Okay, okay, we'll listen carefully."

The crowd applauded in support.

Yun Qing said with a hint of pride, "You must all be very curious about why I ascended to godhood so quickly, right?"

Upon hearing this, the banquet fell silent; this was indeed a question that had troubled many people.

However, since they had only known Yun Qing for a short time, they didn't feel comfortable asking. Now that she brought it up herself, the immortals were naturally very curious and all pricked up their ears to listen.

Yun Qing downed another glass of wine, ignoring the system's reminders several times in her mind.

"Let me tell you, I'm not an ordinary person, no, an ordinary deity. I'm going to become the Heavenly Emperor's woman."

"The Heavenly Emperor's woman?"

These words stunned not only the gods present, but also Si Ming, who entered through the back door, and Ling Hua and Qing Yun, who were standing at the front door.

Yun Qing, oblivious to everything, continued, "That's right, I want to become the youngest and fastest-promoted Heavenly Emperor in history. At that time, I will promote you all, promote you all, promote you all, and everyone who sees it will get a share."

The immortals were on tenterhooks; was the result that he was to become the Heavenly Emperor? Suddenly, their hearts settled.

"Oh, what's the big deal? I thought you were going to be Princess Xinhui's rival in love. Turns out you're plotting to usurp the throne! I'll be the first to support you!"

"very good!"

"Smack—"

Yun Qing slammed her hand on the table: "No need for further words, I understand your intentions. Come on, let's have another drink!"

Everyone filled their glasses again and clinked them together.

Qingyun looked at Linghua's dark face, unsure how to react.

He was really startled when he heard Yun Qing say that she wanted to become the Heavenly Emperor's woman. He thought that even if he went to the Heavenly Realm, he would not be able to compare with Ling Hua. Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

However, Ling Hua doesn't think so.

When they were in the mortal realm, they were heartbroken to hear the news that Yun Qing had died in childbirth.

Heartbroken and disillusioned, he died a few years later.

Even after returning to the Heavenly Realm and regaining all their memories, they still couldn't forget Yun Qing and tried to find her reincarnation.

However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find her soul. Helpless, the two could only go to the Sichen Palace to seek the help of the God of Fate.

But as soon as they entered the palace, they heard the voice that haunted their dreams.

When Yun Qing said she wanted to become the Heavenly Emperor's woman, Ling Hua was overjoyed. In that instant, he thought Yun Qing was the same as Xin Hui, who silently followed him to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation because she liked him.

Unexpectedly, he was just being delusional. What Yun Qing coveted was not him as a person, but the position of the Heavenly Emperor.

Ling Hua felt a pang of pain in her heart. If she had known this would happen, would he have refused if she had asked him directly?

No, it's not too late. He will definitely not give up.

In an instant, Ling Hua convinced herself, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her eyes.

"Fairy Yunqing, since you have such ambitions, why don't you come and discuss it with me in person?"

Yun Qing paused in pouring the wine. Why did she hear Ling Hua's voice? It must be her imagination. How could he be here?
