After soaking in the medicinal bath, Song Xiwei felt some relief from the exhaustion she had experienced.
However, Wu Lai was still worried that she would lose her composure and go to the Heavenly Emperor. He didn't know where she got so many different kinds of delicious food, which filled several tables and made Song Xiwei's eyes dazzled.
"Didn't you say you were afraid of being discovered here? You've gathered so much delicious food, aren't you afraid of giving yourself away?" As Song Xiwei spoke, she had already stuffed half a pastry into her mouth. It was amazing, so delicious, unlike anything she had ever tasted before.
No wonder storytellers always say that the nectar and dew of the heavens are the most delicious. Even these pastries are different from ordinary ones. They are not dry at all, with a crispy outer layer and distinct layers inside, and a smooth and delicious taste.
Song Xiwei seemed impatient, grabbing one with her left hand and another with her right, and eagerly stuffing them into her mouth.
Wu Lai couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Can't you have any self-awareness as a deity? You look like a starving ghost. Also, you're a woman, can't you eat with some decorum? Do you behave this unkempt in front of your sweetheart?"
Wu Lai seemed to be disgusted, but he couldn't help but compare her to Song Xiwei's sweetheart.
He really wanted to say, "Whether your sweetheart will find your eating manners offensive or not, I certainly won't. Your eating manners, though not elegant, are lively and adorable, just like you—always unique."
However, Song Xiwei rolled her eyes at him. "What are you thinking? In my sweetheart's eyes, he likes everything I do. Besides, what haven't we seen about our relationship? It's you who's so bothered by my eating habits. You can stop staring at me!"
"Who, who was staring at you..." Wu Lai answered somewhat guiltily, trying to hide his inner turmoil.
"Oh, so you're eyeing the pastries? Didn't you say you weren't interested in these?" Song Xiwei stared at Wu Lai warily, as if afraid he would steal her food. "If you want to eat, go find some yourself. These are mine!"
Wu Lai hadn't originally intended to, but seeing how stingy Song Xiwei was, he decided to tease her: "Can you finish all this food by yourself?"
"Ha, underestimate me? When we were together, he often prepared a lot of food for me, and I never wasted any of it..." As she said this, Song Xiwei's eyes dimmed a little. She missed Aoqian, and her eyes stung with tears, and her heart ached with emptiness.
For no apparent reason, Song Xiwei nudged him, saying, "We must not act rashly towards the Heavenly Emperor."
"I'll give you a little more time since you found so many delicious things for me, but you'd better not delay me. One day at most. After that, no matter what you're planning, I'll have to take action!" Song Xi took a deep breath, feeling like she was about to collapse.
Sometimes you really need to act decisively. This world is full of uncertainties, and there are always things to consider, but Song Xiwei also has her own plans.
“A day in heaven is a year on earth, that’s long enough, don’t try to bargain with me.” Song Xiwei added, afraid that Wu Lai would want to say more. This time Wu Lai didn’t say anything. “You stay in your room and rest. I’ll go out and check things out.”
Not long after Wu Lai left, Song Xiwei had a new plan.
She concealed her presence and casually changed into the attire of a fairy maiden. However, her original face was too conspicuous, so she disguised herself as the other person, looking ordinary so that no one would notice her.
They just wandered around in the celestial realm.
During this time, Song Xiwei was ordered by several high-ranking priests to serve them. She felt helpless, but not wanting to attract attention, she had no choice but to serve wine to those priests.
While trying to eavesdrop, hoping to glean some useful information, the result was...
She hadn't heard anything about the news. As Song Xiwei reached for the wine, someone grabbed her hand. "Such delicate and slender hands, let me feel them properly..."
