Chapter 105
Ignoring the pain, Yueying forced a smile, his ears gradually turning red. He shook his head in front of all the immortals and then remained silent.
But deep down, it was screaming like crazy!
The Immortal Venerable has feelings for him, otherwise why would he only attack him and not others?
Ling Wu slightly turned her gaze, her eyes lingering on the faces of each immortal for a fleeting moment.
They discovered that only the little princess and the celestial war god were missing.
The Immortal Venerable of Law Enforcement holds a special position, on par with the God of War. Moreover, Gu Lingwu was personally raised by the Heavenly Emperor, and even her surname is the same as that of the Heavenly Emperor, Gu Dao.
"Heavenly Emperor." Ling Wu's enforcement whip disappeared, and she clasped her hands in a salute while gently bowing her head.
With a slight sway of his hair ornament, he gently kissed the beauty's stunning face.
The Heavenly Emperor's heart softened at the sight, and he immediately raised his hand to indicate that there was no need for such formality. "Today, Immortal Venerable, please do not be so bound by the rules for my sake. I have prepared a palace banquet and am just waiting for you, the main character, to make your appearance."
When Lingwu saw the Heavenly Emperor address her as "Immortal Venerable" rather awkwardly, she knew he was somewhat undecided.
However, no one knows a daughter better than her parents. As Gu Lingwu's half-father, the Heavenly Emperor was well aware of Gu Lingwu's temperament.
Gu Lingwu did indeed refuse, which made the Heavenly Emperor lose face in front of the immortals and he became somewhat displeased. Later, due to a series of events, he gradually drifted apart from Gu Lingwu.
Upon hearing this, Ling Wu's previous imposing demeanor subsided slightly, and a genuine tenderness appeared in her eyes.
"Today, the Emperor himself came to escort Xiao Wu out of the pass. Xiao Wu has always been the most obedient to the Emperor since childhood, so she dares not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
Raised by the Heavenly Emperor himself, Gu Lingwu also has the honor of affectionately calling the Heavenly Emperor "Emperor Father".
Ling Wu smiled faintly, then took a few steps forward and walked to the Heavenly Emperor.
Sure enough, they saw the emotion in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes, but there was also a hint of doubt mixed in.
The surrounding immortals were all intelligent. Although they were reluctant to leave, they dared not disturb the noble adoptive father and daughter, a pair known to all the immortals in the palace.
However, they now have some free time to go back and change out of their white clothes, and then freshen up and dress up again, which will surely catch the eye of the Immortal Venerable!
With the building deserted, Lingwu lowered her eyes slightly, a hint of disappointment in her expression. "Is Father Emperor still the same person he was five hundred years ago, when I punished the princess?"
The Heavenly Emperor's initial suspicion dissipated by half; it turned out that he was only so eloquent because he was afraid the man was still angry.
The Heavenly Emperor sighed inwardly, wondering how long it had taken Xiao Wu, with her single-minded and stubborn nature, to come up with these words.
Seeing their most beloved child, who always stays true to themselves, become so cautious out of fear of displeasing them, it's hard not to feel heartache and tenderness.
"That was Yao Guang's fault. She trespassed and almost caused a disaster. Xiao Wu was right to punish her. Although I have many children, I have only raised you, a mere child, by my own hands. How could I be angry with you? Besides, if I were angry, why would I hold such a grand banquet for you?" The Heavenly Emperor sighed, feeling a pang of heartache.
Ling Wu blinked her beautiful eyes, making the Heavenly Emperor's heart soften even more.
"I will give you the key to the Immortal Treasury. Go in and pick out a few more items. Now that Xiao Wu is dressed up, which other fairy princess in the Six Realms can compare to you even a fraction?"
The Heavenly Emperor showed a hint of smugness.
Ling Wu stared straight at the Heavenly Emperor, making him feel a little regretful.
really--
"Then, Father Emperor, Xu Xiaowu, shall you thoroughly cleanse the Immortal Realm of its corrupt practices? If so, Xiaowu will begin tomorrow!"
Ling Wu's eyes were more dazzling than the sunset woven by the Weaver Girl, and the Heavenly Emperor couldn't help but nod.
Before the Heavenly Emperor could even let out a sigh, he saw Xiao Wu, whom he treated like a daughter, suddenly smile. He suddenly felt that perhaps this wasn't so bad after all.
The celestial realm really needs a good overhaul. This palace full of people dressed in white looks even more miserable than the underworld. Xiao Wu's gorgeous attire is much more in line with the style of the celestial realm.
The doubts I had just had completely vanished when Ling Wu made that request.
Throughout the entire Six Realms, I fear that apart from Xiao Wu, no living being would be so focused on the rules and regulations of the immortals.
Moreover, Xiao Wu's aura remained unchanged.
At the banquet
Despite her illness, Yueying still managed to appear, successfully stealing Lingwu's attention amidst the group of immortals who had suddenly become dressed in vibrant colors.
Lingwu sat in the seat below the Heavenly Emperor. She gently picked up the glass cup and raised it to Yueying across countless gazes.
Even after the banquet ended, Yueying's sharp eyes and the faint blush on her face did not lessen in the slightest!
The heavens in the celestial realm are also divided into day and night, and the rulers of these are the Day Star Lord and the Night Weaver Fairy.
Just then, Lingwu stopped in her tracks as the Fairy of the Night Weavers cast a spell to alter the celestial phenomena.
Seeing the fairy gently wave her dark sleeves, which were covered with glittering stars, and the entire celestial realm changed its scenery, Lingwu then took a step and left.
The Night Fairy, who remained where she was, blushed deeply.
Did the Immortal Venerable stop for himself just now, when he never stopped for anyone else?
——
According to celestial rules, immortals are not allowed to descend to the mortal realm at will.
Therefore, the immortals who descended to the mortal realm throughout history always did so under the cover of night.
However, there is no such restriction on the Enforcement Celestial Lord capturing immortals who have secretly descended to the mortal realm, except...
She also planned to take the person and the dog away that very night.
After all, the thread of fate still rests on Yueying's body.
Lingwu took out the [Heavenly Emperor's Decree] from her Qiankun Ring, which the Heavenly Emperor had given her out of pity, and then stepped into the Yue Lao Palace.
Before the [Heavenly Emperor's Decree] could even be used, the alluring young man in red, who had been lying on the couch half-dead, suddenly got up, got out of bed, and straightened his robes...
The movements were executed in one smooth motion!
The black dog, who had just been whimpering with a pitiful expression, stopped whimpering as it saw this!
"Woof, Immortal, weren't you just..." The black dog spoke in human language!
Yueying's heart was only for Lingwu. "Immortal Venerable, is there something you need? Can this humble immortal help you? Although this humble immortal is not capable enough, if you dislike anyone, this humble immortal will tie their marriage thread to a dog... to a pig!"
Xiao Bai: "???" Was that what the immortal was originally going to say?
Ling Wu curled her lips, "You still need ten more lashes."
Yueying was slightly disappointed; it turned out they were going to continue hitting him...
But a secret joy slowly rose within him; the Immortal Venerable truly did have feelings for him!
Otherwise, why would I go out of my way to beat him up overnight?
Ling Wu's expression changed repeatedly as she looked at the alluring face of the Matchmaker, whose demeanor was extremely cold.
Not wanting to waste any more time teasing him, she said directly, "If you come down to the mortal realm with me and bring the God of War Lu Xuanzhi back to the upper realm, then you will have redeemed yourself."
"Your Excellency obeys!" Moonshadow replied without hesitation!
As she was leaving, Ling Wu gently raised the [Heavenly Emperor's Decree] in her hand.
Then, apart from the Heavenly Emperor, a voice accompanied by the laws of nature rang in the ears of all the immortals:
"Those who report violations of the immortal rules and laws, and who possess evidence, may have their own criminal liability offset. Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), I will be waiting for you all in the Hall of Punishment."
At the same time, the Heavenly Emperor stood with his hands behind his back. His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes held a hint of frantic expectation and a barely perceptible reluctance.
