Chapter 122
Seeing that Jiu Mei seemed to be deep in thought, Ling Wu lowered her head and handed her a cup of fairy flower honey.
Suddenly, a handful of celestial nectar appeared before her eyes. Jiu Mei was stunned, and then looked up at the owner holding the jade cup.
"Aww~" My goodness~
"Since Jiu Mei is well-behaved today, we can use one more cup."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiu Mei's two chubby little paws hugged the jade cup tightly, still somewhat doubtful.
The strange thoughts that had arisen in my mind upon seeing the blessing vanished in an instant.
Finally, she held the jade cup and hid behind Ling Wu, trying to get as far away from Zhu Yuan as possible.
She felt that Xiao Yuan was acting strangely today, especially her eyes, which were also purple, just like the dress she wore after she transformed into human form!
This makes it even stranger.
The purple eyes are really beautiful, but they're still not as beautiful as the owner's!
The fat bear cautiously peeked out, looking wary of being robbed.
"Wishing" hesitated for a moment before realizing that she was afraid he would steal the honey.
"Wish" twitched his lips. This body's memories contained many warm scenes that he had never experienced.
Even these fragments of memories, and the not-so-harmonious atmosphere now, make him feel a little awkward... fond of them.
"Sister," he called out, his voice clear as the wind, like the man who had never been stained with blood many years ago.
Seeing that he seemed to regard her entirely as Xiao Yuan, Ling Wu slightly closed her eyelashes, but did not point it out, only saying:
"Xiao Yuan, would you like some candied hawthorn?"
A glint appeared in Zhu Yuan's eyes, and he nodded without hesitation.
After the woman on the swing left, the flourishing fairy flower withered and closed its petals.
The little white bear glanced at Zhu Yuan, then, clutching the empty jade cup, turned and quickly went inside, gently closing the door behind it.
Zhu Yuan then raised his eyes.
The courtyard is clean and bright.
Even with its flowers closed, the Fairy Flower still exudes a clean, rich, and delicate fragrance.
It was the vengeful flower that howled and wailed in the Demon Palace, completely incomparable to its holy elegance.
What about the candied hawthorns...?
Will it be as sweet as the memories within this body?
——
Ling Wu walked through the bustling city. Her storage ring contained many candied hawthorns, as well as countless other snacks and delicacies from the mortal realm…
But she still went out to buy that string of candied hawthorns.
A string of candied hawthorns, the favorite treat of that clean and innocent young boy.
Ling Wu walked through the crowd and stopped in the middle of the bustling city, where the noise and clamor around her seemed to be isolated from her.
Her brows furrowed slightly, her lips parted gently, and she murmured, accompanied by the power of the laws:
"Gu Yaoguang".
She was Gu Yaoguang, the little princess of the immortal realm who was rescued by the Immortal Emperor from Gu Lingwu's whipping five hundred years ago.
Lingwu stood silently, finally buying a candied hawthorn and placing it on the street corner where Gu Yaoguang's magic had once shrouded the area.
It is also the place where Xiao Yuan's wish was extinguished by the immortal magic.
Before long, a layer of mist appeared around the candied hawthorn, gradually condensing and deforming, until finally disappearing completely, just as when the blessing vanished.
Ling Wu turned and left, her figure gradually becoming blurry.
It doesn't mean anything; I just wanted to leave him with a trace of his existence.
At least, someone remembers his name is Zhu Yuan.
At least, someone still remembers that he loved candied hawthorns.
Ling Wu bumped into Lu Xuanzhi, who was dressed in white, but she didn't stop walking.
"Xiao Wu, everything is preordained by cause and effect. If it were not today, it would have been another day. You don't need to blame yourself or regret it."
His voice was very soft, as if he was worried that even a slight emphasis would cause the woman in front of him to feel disappointed.
“Sometimes death isn’t really tragic; after all, the most painful thing is still being alive.” He gazed at Ling Wu, feeling a sudden pity for her.
Ling Wu's voice was indifferent as water, "I know, and I do not blame myself."
Her voice was calm, much like the aloofness of the Enforcement Immortal.
Lu Xuanzhi raised his hand, but was still a beat too slow and failed to reach out and stop the woman who was leaving from his side.
Ling Wu's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, while the white-robed immortal who had been watching remained motionless for a long time.
The emerald green silk sash around her waist fluttered behind her like butterfly wings, and a strand of her long hair was blown by the wind, making her back view lonely and aloof.
Lu Xuanzhi recalled the day he drew his sword and pointed it directly at Luo Suyi, and the words Luo Suyi had said to him:
"Lu Xuanzhi, you have no heart."
But if he truly had no intention of winning, why did he always lose to Xiao Wu?
So he wasn't heartless, he was just heartless towards her.
What about Xiao Wu?
Is it also true that she wasn't unintentional, but only unintentional towards him?

Celestial Emperor Palace
Gu Dao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the twinkling stars outside the window.
"Father Emperor, are you waiting for Yao Guang?" Gu Yao Guang had already entered the hall before she had even taken off her cloak.
"What brings you to the mortal realm?" Gu Dao turned around, his every word and action exuding the majesty and indifference of a Heavenly Emperor.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yaoguang's still-excited heart was suddenly doused with cold water. She lowered her head, and her joyful tone completely transformed into respect:
"Your Majesty, Yao Guang's descent to the mortal realm destroyed the human body of Demon Lord Zhu Yuan. In addition, with the covenant between heaven and earth established by the God of War, the Demon Lord will find it difficult to appear in the world."
“Father Emperor, Yao Guang is not much inferior to Gu Lingwu.”
As she lowered her head, a hint of bitterness lingered in her eyes.
"Not by much?" Gu Dao's cold gaze didn't even glance at her.
The immortal's appearance remained unchanged. He wore a crescent-shaped golden robe on the ancient road, his black hair was tied up high, his posture was upright, and his eyebrows were handsome and dashing, yet he exuded an icy chill.
The overwhelming pressure forced Gu Yaoguang to swallow back the words she was about to say.
"The trouble you caused in the forbidden area a hundred years ago has not yet been resolved, yet you can now say that you are not much different from Xiao Wu?"
Gu Dao's deep, dark eyes swept over Gu Yaoguang, and the coldness in his eyes filled her with bitterness and fear.
Her hands, hidden beneath her cloak, clenched tightly at these words. "But for the past hundred years, I have been guarding this forbidden area. Even though my immortal body was nearly destroyed by the lashes of the law back then, I am still atone for my mistakes."
"Father Emperor, have you only ever had eyes for Gu Lingwu? Between me and your Xiaowu, who is truly your biological daughter?"
Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Gu Dao's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"One trouble has barely subsided before another arises. One is constantly causing trouble, while the other is constantly trying to smooth things over for you. What makes you think you can compare to her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, and a screen of light appeared before him.
Inside, a pair of purple-eyed wishes stood in the courtyard.
"How could this be!?"
Gu Yaoguang suppressed her shock and gritted her teeth as she knelt down, her head hitting the ground heavily.
"Father Emperor, please give Yaoguang another chance!"
"Go back and reflect on your actions. As long as the Immortal Enforcement Lord does not return, you will not be allowed to leave that forbidden area." The ancient voice was extremely calm.
"Father Emperor..."
"Get out," Gu Dao commanded calmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yaoguang found herself in front of the forbidden area she had guarded for many years.
The gates to the forbidden area remained closed, as always.
Gu Yaoguang stared blankly, her eyes brimming with tears.
