Chapter 7 7 The God said he wanted to go to the top of the mountain

Wu Ciyan asked Shan Hei to write a confession, put his fingerprints on it, and then took the confession back to find Murong.

Murong read it and said, "The news about Jinyu was given to you by Heaven. So, they deceived you."

She folded the confession, put it away, and said, "I'll go back and ask them again."

"I'll go with you." Wu Ci Yan said.

Murong knew she couldn't stop him, "Okay. Where's Miss Wen?"

Wen Lanzhi looked at her eagerly and nodded repeatedly.

The heavens are still in a mess. Although six years have passed, the palace that was destroyed that year has not been repaired yet. The throne of the Emperor of Heaven is still vacant. It’s not that no good god can be chosen, but no matter who is chosen, the chosen gods always make excuses. In order not to become the Emperor of Heaven, one god has already hidden himself in a fairy mountain thousands of miles away. He also set up layers of checkpoints around the fairy mountain, and every god who went to persuade him was turned back.

After all, before someone left, he pointed his Guandao at the gods and said, "Let me see who will be the next soul to be killed by the sword."

Now all the gods in heaven have agreed that choosing the Emperor of Heaven is like choosing a target for someone.

But there are so many things happening in heaven every day, and without someone to give orders, how can things be solved?

The gods discussed it and decided that from now on they would discuss and solve any problems in the main hall. If they could reach an agreement, they would solve them. If they couldn't reach an agreement, they would put them aside. Anyway, if they couldn't reach an agreement, there was no need to rush. If there was a rush, someone would naturally do it.

Look, there was another quarrel here today.

"The repair of the Morning Light Palace is your responsibility!"

"How can it be our responsibility? Who was the one who tended the flowers and vegetables in the Morning Light Palace every day before?"

"How dare you say that? I planted some grapes, and every time I counted them, there was always one bunch missing. If it wasn't you who stole them, who else could it be?"

"Where's the evidence? Where's the evidence? Your grapes and fruit trees! They're growing all over the house, leaving my flowers with no sunlight. I didn't bother to criticize you before, but now you're really excited, aren't you?"

"They're arguing again." A familiar voice sounded.

The hall was quiet.

Wu Ci Yan walked in and found a seat to sit down. Wen Lanzhi followed and sat next to him.

The gods looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, the immortal who had planted the fruit came over, bowed, and asked with a smile, "Master Wu, what can I do for you?"

Wu Ciyan threw the confession in his face and said, "Lord Bai Xu is truly a noble man who forgets things easily, Jinyu."

"Oh oh oh oh, Jinyu, Jinyu." Lord Bai Xu took the paper from his face with a smile, "I think Mr. Wu must have got the Jinyu. Is he here to ask how to use it? In fact, we don't know how to use it either. We only know...ah..." He said as he looked at it. The more he looked, the more solemn he became, and finally he was speechless.

Wu Ciyan sneered, "You only know what?"

Bai Xu handed the paper to the immortal with whom he had just quarreled. After reading it, the immortal passed it on to others.

A voice came from the crowd: "Goddess Yuehua has gone to a fairy mountain thousands of miles away to retreat. We don't know which fairy mountain it is."

Wu Ciyan didn't get angry. He leaned back and crossed his legs on the table. "You gods in heaven, of course you are the ones who go and find them, right, Lord Bai Xu?"

Bai Xu smiled apologetically.

The voice continued, "Then please go back and wait, Master Wu. We will notify you once we find them."

Wu Ci Yan glanced sideways and saw that he was defeated by his men.

He was about to say something when Murong came in and bowed to the gods.

When the gods saw Murong, some bowed in return, while others looked at her with disdain.

Before learning that Murong had taken refuge with Wu Ciyan, the gods considered her a traitor and refused to associate with her. But after the death of the Emperor of Heaven, they realized that there was nothing wrong with taking refuge with Wu Ciyan. The few gods who had taken refuge with Wu Ciyan had already built palaces and were living comfortably. Their daily duties were not busy, so they helped gather information and steal scrolls, treasures, elixirs, and other such things. Sometimes, when they couldn't accomplish something in the demon world, they would turn to Wu Ciyan, and it would be twice as easy with half the effort.

So it wasn't long before Murong's reputation changed, and she suddenly became the target of flattery. The gifts she received were almost piled up, and some people even secretly supported her to become the Emperor of Heaven. Every time Murong heard such words, she smiled and said nothing.

However, there are still quite a few gods who are unwilling to associate with monsters, thinking that it lowers their own level.

Murong turned around and said to Wu Ciyan, "Master Wu, I just took a look and found that most of the palaces are occupied. Only Senluo Palace, where the Emperor of Heaven used to live, is still empty. I've already had it cleaned up."

Wu Ciyan nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, then let's go to Senluo Palace."

The gods turned their heads in surprise.

Bai Xu stepped forward and asked, "Master Wu, why are you going to Senluo Palace?"

Wu Ciyan said, "Oh, aren't you going to look for the Supreme Goddess Yuehua? I need to be the first to know the news, so I'm staying in the Heavenly Palace first. When you find her, come find me."

After saying that, he put his arm around Wen Lanzhi's shoulders and left without looking back.

Peace returned to the palace again.

Bai Xu opened his mouth and asked, "What do you think?"

The same voice from before spoke again: "How can a monster live in the Emperor of Heaven's bedroom?"

"General, you are right!" Bai Xu made way. "Then please drive him out, General. This way, the position of Heavenly Emperor will be secured."

The sound stopped.

After a while, someone said, "If he wants to live here, then let him. We already live in the sky anyway, so let's just fight him and see who can outlast the other."

Bai Xu nodded and said, "That makes sense."

After all, it was the place where the Emperor of Heaven lived in the past. Although it had been destroyed, the first palace to be renovated after construction began in heaven was the Senluo Palace. It was built magnificently and was better than before.

Wu Ciyan fiddled with Wen Lanzhi's hair and said, "Pick any room you like."

"Wow!" Wen Lanzhi ran around the Senluo Palace. There were three rooms, the middle one and the ones on both sides, but Murong only had one cleaned up, and the other two were not cleaned up.

"Alright." Wu Ciyan walked around for a moment and said, "Then you can share a room with me. It's just a temporary stay anyway. They'll be able to bring me news in a few days."

This is true. Although Wu Ciyan had no intention of causing any trouble in heaven, he had caused too much trouble before. None of the gods in heaven trusted him. They were worried even when they slept, fearing that he would get up in the middle of the night and kill the gods.

Rather than having a haunted house and causing them no peace, why not all of them go knock on the door of the Moon God? Either he'll open the barrier of the fairy mountain and let them all move in, or you! Moon God! Come back! Get rid of the ghost!

In the afternoon, the two of them were lying in the palace with nothing to do, and Wen Lanzhi climbed onto Wu Ci Yan.

"What are you doing?" Wu Ci Yan turned over and pushed her away.

Wen Lanzhi climbed up again and said, "Master Wu, I heard there is a lotus pond in heaven with many fish in it."

Wu Ciyan asked, "Where did you hear that?"

Wen Lanzhi said, "That's what Sister Murong said just now."

Wu Ciyan flipped through two pages of the book and said, "You're calling me sister so soon."

Wen Lanzhi said, "Sister Murong said that if I call her sister, she can bring me some grapes tonight. They're fresh from the Morning Light Palace, and they're this big."

Wu Ciyan said with a smile: "How big is that?"

Wen Lanzhi said: "I don't know, that's what Sister Murong said."

Wu Ciyan pushed her off him again and sat up. "Okay, I'll take you to the lotus pond."

Wu Ci Yan asked someone for some fish food and took Wen Lanzhi to feed the fish. He also made a fishing rod for Wen Lanzhi and used it to fish. He threw the fish in the left pond to the right, and then threw the fish in the right pond to the left.

No killing, just moving the koi fish.

"Hello, Master Wu."

"Hello, Master Wu."

Wu Ci Yan waved to the two gods, then turned around and continued to accompany Wen Lanzhi fishing.

"Let's not disturb Master Wu's interest here, let's go for a stroll in the peach blossom forest behind."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant."

The two gods spoke softly, but Wen Lanzhi still heard them.

She also whispered, "Master Wu, I want to go to the peach blossom forest too."

Wu Ciyan caught another fish and threw it back—splash! The sound of the fish falling into the water.

He put away his fishing rod and said, "Let's go."

The peach blossoms in the sky bloom all year round. Wen Lanzhi has never seen so many peach blossoms. Wherever Wu Ci Yan points, the peach blossoms fall down. Wen Lanzhi runs over with a "wow", and then runs away with a "wow", spinning in circles, trying to let every petal fall on her body.

After playing for more than half an hour, Wen Lanzhi felt bored again and wanted to go to the Morning Light Hall to see the grapes.

When they arrived at the Morning Light Palace, the two gods were there too. "Hello!" After meeting them three times in a row, Wen Lanzhi recognized them and took the initiative to say hello.

The two gods retreated from the Morning Light Palace with a grin as if they had seen a ghost.

"Hey, what kind of fruit is on this tree?" Wen Lanzhi asked.

Wu Ciyan flew up and picked two, "I don't know, let me try them."

Wen Lanzhi took a bite and said, "Mmm! Sweet!"

Wu Ciyan snapped his fingers, and a basket appeared in Wen Lanzhi's arms. "Then pick more."

Wen Lanzhi asked, "Can we pick any fruit here?"

Wu Ciyan said, "I don't know. It's okay. Just pick it."

Wu Ciyan cast a spell, causing Wen Lanzhi to float up like a cloud and sit on a branch. Wen Lanzhi looked at the two plump fruits and said, "Master Wu, these two are so beautiful!"

Wu Ciyan said, "Oh, pick them all then."

Wen Lanzhi responded and picked it up.

The two of them talked as they filled a basket. It was almost time, and although it was still bright outside, according to the mortal world, it was time to go to bed.

Wu Ciyan saw Wen Lanzhi yawn, jumped up, put his arms around her waist and carried her down, "Let's go, go back."

As soon as he left the Morning Light Hall, he bumped into Bai Xu. Wu Ciyan raised an eyebrow and said, "It's so late, and the Supreme God Bai Xu is still here to pick fruit?"

Wen Lanzhi yawned, but she couldn't bear it anymore. She was really too sleepy. She couldn't even hold the basket steady and dropped two fruits.

Bai Xu looked down following the gurgling sound. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, turning pale. "This this this this this this... so many fruits, can you two finish them all?"

Wu Ciyan took the basket, handed it to Bai Xu, and said generously, "Does the Lord like it? Take two?"

Bai Xu: “…”

He was very excited, wondering how many more hilltops he could climb thousands of miles away.
