He tied a deity to a mosquito and died.
When I pulled Xie Jinhui down from the clouds, I made up my mind.
I am Yuan'e, the most careless yet most favored goddess under the command of the God of Tongtang, from Qingning Pavilion and Qunshan Garden!
one!
Certainly!
want!
marry!
Give!
he!
On the clouds, he went crazy and insisted on marrying me; after we came down from the clouds...?
Ha, he has to accept whatever fate he has!
The Reincarnation Platform is right ahead; isn't it just a lifetime of love and destiny?
Easy, I've already figured out what I want to be in my next life—
mosquito!
Two mosquitoes, born in the morning and dying at night, suck a couple of mouthfuls of blood, then find a stinking ditch to lay a nest of eggs.
As soon as the sun sets, we'll both go to our deaths, and that'll be the end of this damned love affair.
Perfect! The goddess of haste gets things done, prioritizing speed, ruthlessness, and absolute efficiency!
------
As darkness emerged beneath the clouds, revealing a glossy landscape with strangely shaped rocks stretching out like claws, the landscape came into view.
With a heavy heart, I tightened the cloud lock that bound Xie Jinhui tightly and removed the cloud.
Aim—Jump.
Oh dear!
I realized from the air that Xie Jinhui was actually holding me back.
When I looked back, I saw that the cloud thread holding him was only wrapped around his arms and wrists; everything else was untied.
Upon noticing me, Xie Jinhui raised his arm with a smile, facing the wind, indicating that he hadn't run away, but also making it clear that he was going to escape.
The prevailing atmosphere is infuriating.
Annoying, clingy, with an unclear background, plotting against me in the gutter, and never giving me a moment's peace.
I, I, didn't come here to fly a kite.
She turned back in a fit of rage; when the goddess Yuan'e was in a hurry, she wouldn't even spare herself.
Reaching out to wrap her arms around Xie Jinhui's waist, he froze, his body stiffening as Yun Suo wrapped her arms around his waist.
Even with my own immortal power as a guide, I still can't bind you?
I think I heard a cold laugh, which sounded a bit contemptuous.
Immediately afterwards, our steady descent turned into a sharp, erratic drop, and the cloud lock around our waists came loose with a thud...
After a frantic tearing and ripping, it suddenly occurred to me: there's earth beneath the sky...
And so, the ripe persimmon fell, *plop*...
...
"May I ask, Your Excellencies, what brings you to this forbidden area of the Reincarnation Well?"
As soon as I landed, I heard a rough voice coming down at me from diagonally above.
I wanted to look up at the sky or gnaw on the ground and take a break first.
Xie Jinhui started causing trouble as soon as he came down from the cloud. Ever since the cloud lock could no longer hold him, I've been trying to find ways to hang on him.
He, on the other hand, tried every means to get me to throw myself into his arms.
I couldn't control my aim, and he also took a fall for nothing, landing ten miles away from the Reincarnation Well.
I estimate the error is still within a controllable range. I'll just tie him up tightly and then use a shrinking earth technique.
The immortal was smashed into two lumps of mud, their clothes disheveled and mixed together, and coincidentally, the guardian stone outside the Reincarnation Well saw it.
I saw my own face flush red with anger and embarrassment as I looked into Xie Jinhui's ambiguous eyes, which were pressed so close to mine.
I lay on the ground and pushed him.
"Find the judge."
He climbed over and hung the cloud lock on himself, then provocatively grabbed my sleeve and spoke to me almost simultaneously.
"Come here for a tryst."
My vision went black; I hope all living beings within a hundred miles of me suffer from this ailment...
Uh, my apologies.
I shook him off as if I were running for my life and stood up.
Then I realized something was wrong; I still had to take him to the Reincarnation Platform to settle our karmic ties.
Reluctantly, she leaned closer to him, who seemed unsatisfied, with a hint of anger, as he lazily straightened his clothes.
Don't let him get away!
I noticed that the Boundary Stone was standing still, brandishing its guide gun, for quite some time.
Is he really sick?
See, I noticed it, and the stonemason finally moved.
It first petrified the eyes (see no evil, or not?), then sealed the ears (hear no evil, or not?).
In the end, not only were his facial features ground down to an unrecognizable stone, but he also shrank his body and hopped a few times towards the roadside to make way for a wide avenue.
Once it was erected, they began carving out three large characters from the inside out, like fireworks.
Xie Jinhui and I walked over and bent down to take a look.
Wow!
As the sparks flew and the pen flew across the paper, three large characters appeared:
"The Stone of Marriage"!
Emergency job transfer?
Immediately afterwards, the once eerie and strange forbidden land, with its withered leaves and scorched earth, was transformed—peach trees, red ropes, soft grass, fine soil…
Xie Jinhui and I looked at each other, and suddenly realized that our affair had probably become known everywhere within half a day.
With a pained expression, I fiddled with the red threads that kept falling onto my body, pinning all my hopes on the rumors of the judge's uprightness and incorruptibility.
The red thread fell to the ground, intertwined, split into two ends, and twisted as it tried to climb onto my and Xie Jinhui's feet.
scare!
This is the work of a matchmaker...
I hurriedly erected the celestial barrier, and watched as the red thread raised its end, knocked on the barrier, and we both kowtowed three times.
My lips twitched.
Suddenly, several willow trees swayed and turned around, immediately taking root when they saw Xie Jinhui and me.
Their willow branches swayed, mimicking the swaying posture of playing musical instruments, and they began to play music.
I grabbed Xie Jinhui and ran.
In this place where the dead wander and paper money is scattered, the sky is filled with the characters for "double happiness" and paper money, and so many more float by to offer their congratulations...
Friends and family.
Is this... appropriate?
I casually complained to Xie Jin.
"If the underworld doesn't know how to hold weddings, then it shouldn't."
Xie Jinhui handed me the cloud lock that I had abandoned when I ran away.
"Yes, let's do it in the sky."
...
Before the Reincarnation Platform, the black-faced judge swung his vajra, forcefully stopping my cloud rope that was pulling Xie Jinhui.
I looked at the judge's face, which was exactly the same as the surrounding scenery.
His dark complexion was just right.
I thought to myself, the rumors are true, the Reincarnation Platform should have such enlightened officials who dare to be conscientious in their duties and do not encourage evil practices.
Yun Suo tightened her grip on Xie Jinhui, and I explained my purpose with anticipation.
"Goddess Yuan'e, thank you, Divine Lord." The judge didn't even lift his eyelids, and tapped the Book of Life and Death with the tip of his pen.
"Since the two of you are of such high celestial rank, the formation or cancellation of your marriage is subject to the fate of Heaven."
If one insists on entering the Reincarnation Platform, a document renouncing karmic ties, personally approved by the Heavenly Emperor or the Presiding Emperor, is required.
"What document?"
I almost ripped Xie Jinhui's sleeve off. "Do I need to write an application just to be reincarnated as a mosquito?"
The judge said with a blank face: "Mosquitoes are also sentient beings in the six realms, and the principles of morality cannot be disregarded."
If there is no written document...
He blocked the entrance to the deep well of reincarnation with his vajra, saying, "This path is blocked."
I froze.
What a righteous and incorruptible person who loves all living beings and believes that rules must not be abandoned...
Yes...
Hey! Don't be angry, don't be angry.
Xie Jinhui seized the opportunity to fling my cloud rope aside and straighten his disheveled clothes.
A smug, almost irritating smile played on his lips: "Yuanhe, it's fate. Accept it."
Resign yourself to fate?
These two words don't exist in my dictionary, the dictionary of the careless goddess!
"The approval document, right?"
I grabbed Xie Jinhui by the back of the collar as he tried to slip away, and with my other hand I unfurled the Thousand-Mile Communication Jade Talisman, channeling my immortal power into it, my voice booming so loudly it made the Reincarnation Platform resonate—
"Master! Lord Tongtang! Help me!!!"
"Your dearest little Iris has been bullied!"
Immediately! Give me a note!
I want to descend to the mortal realm with Xie Jinhui and become a mosquito! Immediately! Right now!
Ideally, I'd be reborn into a place of exceptional feng shui, like a slop bucket in the imperial kitchen!
There was a deathly silence on the other end of the jade talisman.
They're ignoring me!!!
I knew it. Master not only loves me, but now he loves Xie Jinhui even more.
But I just don't want to, I just don't want to.
Not willing...
I maintained a facade of complete confidence, putting on an act for the judge.
She had already mentally prepared herself for the group of immortals who had jumped out early in the morning to force her into marriage, and she cursed and swore at them one by one.
However, Xie Jinhui's face was now as green as the moss that never fades in the thirty-three realms of Feikong Mountain.
It was so delicious that I felt secretly pleased.
...
The judge's vajra was as steady as Mount Tai. He lifted his eyelids and made his official suggestion.
"If you two are eager to end your relationship, you might consider the way of herbs, trees, metals and stones."
According to the law, when a high-ranking immortal sacrifices this type of creature, the necessary paperwork may be simplified as appropriate.
"Oh?" Heaven have mercy!
I released my grip on Xie Jinhui's collar, intrigued. "Tell me about it?"
“For example,” the judge said, pointing his pen, “light and shadow appeared on the Book of Life and Death.”
"They can be paired as twin flowers, sharing the same roots and origins, facing each other day and night, their bond easily broken."
"Flowers?" My brows furrowed into a knot.
"Do the stamens and pistils have to wait for bees and butterflies to come together? What if the rainy season is long and the pollen is too wet? If the pollination season is not successful, will we have to squat in the mud and wait for a hundred or eighty years?"
No, no! Too slow! Too slow!
The judge remained silent for a moment, then the light and shadow shifted again.
"Perhaps these are two adjacent stones from the Lingshan jade mine, which, over the years, nourished by the earth's veins, will eventually be able to connect in spirit..."
"That won't do either!"
I almost jumped up.
"Wait for him to be squeezed into jade-like form? That would take tens of thousands of years."
If the miners come early, they might carve him into a toilet and me into a foot-rubbing stone.
Now that we're parting ways, can this lingering affection still be severed?
I can't wait.
That's outrageous!
The judge remained silent: "..."
His perpetually unchanging face seemed to have cracked open with a thin fissure.
I'm so angry I could start a wildfire, but I have no way to ignite it.
Xie Jinhui took the opportunity to straighten his clothes and stood aside.
The cold smile that had barely escaped death on his lips now inexplicably carried a hint of... relief?
They even have the leisure to offer comments.
"The goddess Yuan'e is indeed thoughtful and deliberate."
I glared at him fiercely.
Then, I lost my nerve.
I said to the judge with a sullen expression, "Forget it, forget it, I might as well not jump off this Reincarnation Platform."
I grabbed Xie Jinhui's cloud rope and gave it a shake, then turned around, rode the cloud, and angrily rushed back to the heavens.
"Hmph. The rules of heaven are rigid. Grass, trees, and rocks are all useless."
...
Above the clouds, the wind howled.
Xie Jinhui followed me quietly, as if he was still shaken from the near-turning into a mosquito or a pebble.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and I suddenly turned around and glared at him.
"Thank you, Jinhui!"
He raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
"Being a mosquito won't work, being a flower or a stone is too slow..."
I ground my back teeth, a desperate glint in my eyes, "Then there's only one way left!"
“Go back to my master, your master, and recruit a few more immortals.”
It's just a lifetime of fate, how deep can it be?
Let those old men just sever this ill-fated relationship.
That solves everything.
Fast! Ruthless! Decisive!
...
The clouds are about to descend into the celestial abode.
Xie Jinhui landed at the entrance of Qingning Pavilion first, turned around and stretched out his left hand.
“Yuan’e, come here, I’ll give you courage.”
courage?
I stared at his hand, and the feeling in my heart instantly turned into deep regret.
He's being cheeky!
I cursed my hands with my head down and then shook them violently.
The gates of Qingning Pavilion were tightly shut, clearly indicating that my master, Lord Tongtang, was extremely guilty.
I raised my fist, as if I were about to smash the door.
Ignoring Xie Jinhui, she slipped past him.
Behind me, a faint sigh seemed to swirl up a few fallen leaves.
The leaf passed by me, flew forward, and rushed towards the gate.
As the golden leaves swayed and trembled, a creak was heard, and the palace doors opened.
Xie Jinhui walked past me again and uttered a resolute refusal to my suggestion that I find someone to sever our relationship.
“Unless you kill me with a single blow,” he said.
I clenched my fist and pressed it hard against a stone in the courtyard of Qingning Pavilion, suppressing my gloomy and miserable thoughts inside.
"How could I have fallen for such a trick that day?"
I almost didn't hold back and nearly punched him.
Looking out over the garden full of plants, objects, and artifacts...
My heart softened.
Master, how come you've become addicted to picking up junk?
