Chapter 128
"I don't like honey. However, if Jiu Mei has any other celestial delicacies she likes, I will store them in my Qiankun Ring and leave them for you in a while."
As Ling Wu finished speaking, the bright, sparkling light that had appeared in her obsidian-like round eyes before her disappeared for the first time when she heard about food.
She cleverly grasped a particular word in the sentence, "Leave it for Jiu Mei...leave it?"
"Is Master going to a faraway place again? Jiu Mei will stay obediently in the courtyard and wait for Master Sister to come home!"
The innocence in the woman's eyes amazed Lu Xuanzhi.
In her previous two lives, Jiu Mei was always aloof, ruthless, and willing to do anything to kill her own sister, plotting and being jealous time and time again...
Thinking of this, Lu Xuanzhi's fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly.
It seems that every change is made by only one person.
Ling Wu turned around as if sensing something, and happened to meet the emotion in his eyes, but she remained silent and did not utter a single word.
Originally, I thought Gu Lingwu was the "son-killer" in the hands of the Heavenly Emperor, but I never expected that Lu Xuanzhi might be the one.
What role does Gu Lingwu play in this?
Seeing Ling Wu staring intently at Lu Xuanzhi, even causing a faint blush to slowly appear on Lu Xuanzhi's usually aloof face, Yueying gritted her teeth.
He really misjudged him!
No wonder they're a "husband and wife"—one openly seduces the other, and the other secretly seduces her!
His thoughts were unknown to anyone, and even Jiu Mei was immersed in the sadness of Ling Wu's departure on another long trip.
Four people, four different feelings.
Ling Wu pulled herself out of her thoughts and went into the house alone, leaving everyone else out.
She raised her finger, and a chessboard appeared on the table, with black and white pieces neatly arranged, while she sat cross-legged.
Holding the chess piece in her slender hand, she slowly placed the first one.
In a chess game, there are not only pieces, but also—
The player holding the chess pieces.
——
The Celestial Realm, a forbidden area.
"Father, have you chosen her?" Gu Dao, dressed in a crescent-shaped golden robe, had completely shed his imposing aura, appearing as if he were just an ordinary mortal.
He, bound by chains, slightly raised his eyes. The two had identical eyebrows and eyes, but one was compassionate and indifferent, while the other contained an ambition to conquer the world.
This time, however, He did not comfort the ancient path as usual, speaking to him of compassion and pity, or telling him about the myriad beings; He simply gazed at him.
After a long silence, he finally spoke:
"This face doesn't suit you."
As He finished speaking, the initial disappointment on the ancient path gradually turned into complete panic after understanding His meaning.
What...did you just say?
"I say, this face doesn't suit you," He said calmly, then glanced at the dark chains before closing his eyes.
Clearly, he didn't want to say anything more to Gu Dao.
In the deep, distant eyes of the ancient road, reflected the face of a pale man, his head bowed, mostly obscured by his hair.
"But you once said it was just a physical shell, and that you didn't care about it. Why are you doing this now..."
Before Gu Dao finished speaking, he saw Him open His eyes, and the trace of pity remaining in His eyes gave him a glimmer of hope.
But He simply said indifferently, "You may leave."
More than 500 years ago, a little girl of his lineage mistakenly entered this place and told Him that the Enforcement Immortal Venerable was self-disciplined and restored to propriety, the Immortal Realm was in good order, and the Six Realms were at peace.
And this was what he had promised Him.
That is why He favored Him so much, and even locked Himself up here for many years, gradually losing His divine power.
But he broke his promise and attempted to replace Him.
If he truly had compassion for all living beings, then so be it...
He could sense the small ball of light in his sleeve, its fear and timidity towards the person before it, and the glimmer of hope that arose within it after seeing Meng Po.
It was only after Meng Po left and a glimmer of hope arose that she dared to timidly reveal everything to herself.
Therefore, He truly misjudged the situation.
“Father…” Gu Dao murmured, then lowered his head and laughed sadly.
He wanted to look up, but because of the sorrow emanating from the small ball of light in his sleeve, he closed his eyes again.
Human greed.
Even immortals cannot escape this fate.
As the ancient road turned, a great snowfall swept through the celestial realm. A biting, piercing wind ripped through the sky, rippled the lake, and whipped up towering waves.
Even the human realm, at the very center of the six realms, was inevitably affected, with boundless frost and snow covering the endless forests and vegetation overnight.
Ling Wu put the chessboard away and pushed open the door, only to be met with a chill.
Jiu Mei, who had been waiting outside the door, still had a red nose despite being protected by demonic power, though the redness around her eyes was much lighter than the redness around her eyes.
When Jiu Mei saw the woman in the white dress besides Ling Wu after the door opened, the tears she had been holding back finally spilled down her cheeks!
"Master, is it because of this fox spirit that you no longer want Jiu Mei?" She sniffled, her crying appearance completely devoid of any sense of accusation.
The word "vixen" made Luo Suyi pause in her curse. When she saw Jiu Mei's face, she even clenched her teeth.
This silly bear doesn't even recognize his own sister!
Luo Suyi did not speak, nor did she receive any instructions from Ling Wu.
Lingwu, who was between the two, pinched Jiu Mei's little face. Seeing that she was slightly stunned and her eyes were about to fall, she wiped away the tears on her face.
"She is useful to me."
“Oh…oh oh…” Jiu Mei responded softly.
The owner is explaining to her... explaining to her~
Ling Wu then glanced at Luo Suyi.
Luo Suyi pursed her lips, disappeared from the spot, and returned to the domain with a sense of surprise.
This silly bear is notorious for causing trouble in the demon realm. Not to mention her, even her mother is often annoyed by her noise.
Later, this silly bear was locked up...
But not long after, she split the mountain open from the inside with a single palm strike, and then swaggered out.
"..."
outside world
Jiu Mei clung to the door, staring at Ling Wu's back.
"Master, Jiu Mei is waiting for you at home."
Ling Wu turned back with a gentle smile, then turned and walked away decisively.
Jiu Mei remained where she was until Ling Wu's figure completely disappeared. After waiting for a long time without Ling Wu changing her mind and returning home, she returned to the courtyard in disappointment.
The courtyard was empty, but the flowers on the swing still emitted a faint, elegant fragrance.
Only a gentle figure was missing from the swing, and a figure in red was missing from beside the swing.
Beside the young man in red should be a large, glossy black dog.
On the other side of that swing, there should be a delicate little boy.
“It’s all empty…” The woman in the purple dress lowered her eyes, then, ignoring the snow-white ground, she knelt down beside the swing.
"How long will we have to wait this time?"
But as long as there is a return date, it's always good.
For her, the nectar of the fairy flower is not just something she likes, but also a long-cherished desire that she has had since childhood.
She lowered her head, clutching the Qiankun Ring in her hand, which seemed to still retain the lingering fragrance of her own.
"It's just a cup of celestial nectar, so why do some people fly into a rage over it, while others never miss a day of it and even go so far as to make more promises based on her temperament?"
"Why are relatives not relatives, and enemies not enemies?"
Jiu Mei suppressed the stinging sensation in her nose, obediently lay on the swing, and looked up at the heavy snow falling from the sky.
"May she be safe and well."
