A false alarm and a terrible hiccup
On my way from the reflection of the 33rd level of the Non-Empty Mountain, which connects to the lower realm—the Void Realm Mountain—to the Seven Strings of the Immortal Realm, I met several fellow immortals from the Hall of World Divisions who were rushing back to report.
From their brief reply, I learned that an unprecedented catastrophic event had occurred: the Heavenly Emperor had fallen ill.
Since Emperor Shengsheng relinquished his position as the Emperor of the Boundless Heaven and took over the authority of the Heavenly Emperor to rule over all realms, 320,000 years have passed, and his body has remained vigorous and robust.
From the smallest living creature to a god or goddess like myself, physical and mental illnesses are commonplace.
But the Heavenly Emperor is different.
Before officially assuming the throne, every Heavenly Emperor in the Celestial Realm must be recognized by the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone, which sits high in front of the Zi Ji Palace and opposite the Huan Chen Terrace.
Every time I see this stone, I bow down in reverence, for it is the place where all the ancient creator gods converged at the beginning of creation.
The gods transformed into stone, becoming one with heaven and earth and all things, and also establishing rules for the immortal realm:
Only those who have been recognized by the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone are eligible to assume the position of Heavenly Emperor.
At the same time, the body of this Heavenly Emperor will be connected with all creations in the world, including mountains, rivers, streams, forests, and living beings.
In other words, if any living being suffers from illness or misfortune, the Heavenly Emperor can immediately sense it and use his divine power to diminish or erase it.
Conversely, if the Heavenly Emperor falls ill, or if there is a disaster in the mortal realm that even the Heavenly Emperor's power cannot quell, then...
That would be tantamount to the coming of chaos.
To me, the common people are certainly important, but Emperor Shengsheng is one of the most important and cherished elders in the Immortal Realm.
Amidst the raging wind, my heart pounded like a drum, and my anxiety burned like fire.
As they traveled to around the lower three strings, the number of fellow immortals gradually increased.
Some fellow cultivators who had specially caught up with me rode alongside me and gave me repeated instructions.
"Goddess Yuan'e, you should slow down."
Slow down, how can you slow down?
My body is as light as a butterfly, so if you can't catch up, don't hold me back.
Swoosh~
The clouds sped faster and faster. I encountered an old celestial physician on the fifth string of the lower realm who had just returned from the Purple Palace and was on his way to fetch some medicinal herbs for the Heavenly Emperor.
I recognize him. His name is Qitu, and he often travels with my master.
Qi Tu, the Heavenly Physician, collects miraculous herbs, while his master collects scraps.
Because of him, my mood calmed down.
Qi Tu also looked like an old man, with a peaceful and open-minded nature, and he was honest even as an immortal.
He told me that things weren't as serious as I thought; the Heavenly Emperor was indeed sick, and the illness was in his left foot.
The pain suddenly appeared this morning, and the Heavenly Emperor immediately used his divine power to treat it, but the pain was only reduced by half.
Therefore, based on the location where the calamity occurred, the Heavenly Emperor immediately dispatched officials from the Heavenly Division Palace to descend to the mortal realm to handle the situation.
By the time the Heavenly Physician Qi Tu left the Purple Extreme Palace, the Heavenly Emperor's left foot had recovered considerably.
So he told me not to worry, that everything would be alright.
I believed in him, so I waited outside the Heavenly Hospital and personally rode the cloud for him on the return journey.
The old celestial healer stood atop a cloud, facing the wind, carefully examining me from all angles, and nodded with a smile.
"It's good that nothing happened."
Although today's events may well be a false alarm, this is the first time in 320,000 years that the Heavenly Emperor has encountered such a problem, which is truly a heart-stopping event.
Therefore, at this time, the bells in all directions were rung to warn and summon the immortals.
Even if it's just for visiting someone in the hospital, it's the most urgent thing to do.
After escorting Physician Qitu to the entrance of the Ziji Palace, he bid me a temporary farewell, and then I went to pay my respects to the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone.
These are ancestors whose lineage is too numerous to count, spanning countless generations.
It is said that when the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone is activated and bound, it will be as translucent as the purest water, without a speck of dust.
But now... it's like a silent, unspeakable abyss, a sword that awes all living beings.
The sheer number of people was too intimidating, so I decided not to look.
Next, I began to deal with the overly enthusiastic greetings from my fellow immortals who were already lined up in front of the hall.
My fellow cultivators were all asking me how I was feeling, whether I was sleeping well, and urging me to rest more and avoid overworking...
I think I'm sleepwalking again?
Did he sleepwalk to the place of Lady Yu, and even spend three thousand years of immortal power to change his skin to an old one? And then he got an old skeleton?
Otherwise, why do they keep telling me to take care of my health?
Since I was among the first in the order to pay homage to the Heavenly Emperor, I had the advantage of being close by and looked at my reflection in the two blue lotus ponds in front of the palace.
Amidst the rippling blue waves, I couldn't help but boast to myself: Yuan'e, you are so beautiful, but aren't I still me?
At that moment, I heard some faint, restless sounds from some of the female immortals in the group of immortals.
Even though the female immortal tried to restrain herself in such a solemn setting, she was still enough to attract the attention of all the immortals.
Who wouldn't watch something exciting? I'll watch it too.
When I turned around, I found that it was Qingting, who was wearing a light blue dress.
He was ordered to carry the ancient medical book jade slips that were emitting a bluish light and was summoned to the Purple Extreme Palace.
I smiled warmly at him, and as he passed by, he whispered to me, "Don't worry, it's nothing."
Now, the spiderweb of worry in my heart has loosened even more.
but……
I saw a young immortal boy in a crane-feather cloak emerge from the side gate of the Purple Extreme Palace, announcing his immortal title.
Announcing one's immortal name is considered a ritual in the celestial realm.
Every deity who appears before the assembled immortals for the first time receives this treatment.
I foolishly recalled my past...
Actually, I didn't do what I did back then, because I fell asleep when they told me my immortal name.
The little fairy straightened his clothes and waited expectantly.
My belatedly clear-headed mind finally made sense after he organized it.
Looking across the entire celestial realm, there is currently only one deity who has not yet appeared before the public.
I rubbed my temples, thinking: What I have to face, I have to face; there's no escaping it.
As soon as the little fairy boy lifted his foot, my throat tightened. I knew exactly what he was going to say, and I started reciting it in my head.
"Mo Xu Chen Yuan, Divine Lord, Xie Jin Hui, here... Awooooo."
I clenched my fists, unable to help but recall the moment he leaped into the air, and then kicked me…
I couldn't help but turn around, thank you! Grasshopper!
Swish! I turned my head, but I didn't see anything.
Who was it? They opened a barrier gate in the sky, momentarily blinding all the immortals.
A blink of an eye, and you're only blinded for a moment; it's nothing.
I haven't seen Xie Shenjun, the newcomer yet, but I want to grin mischievously.
I suddenly really want to see if his back is okay, and if he still has his crutches.
Hahaha.
I don't know why, but I'm filled with evil at this moment.
However, I stared wide-eyed, furious.
How can he be more evil than me!
Xie Jinhui!
Wear green!
How dare he wear green?
Ugh! Ugh!
My long-dormant nausea and vomiting, triggered by just one glance at him, surged up in waves of dry heaving.
My eyes are brimming with tears; I can neither hold them back nor endure them any longer.
I soared into the air like a raging torrent, roaring, "Xie Jinhui, if you dare wear green, I'll kill you!"
While flying in mid-air, I felt so nauseous that I lost my balance.
The immortals below first exclaimed a wonderful "Yo!"
Then, fearing that reaching out recklessly would cause trouble, he moved like a running lizard, quickly dodging to the side, while saying worriedly, "Ouch!"
In short, before I could adjust myself to avoid falling, only Xie Jinhui reached out and grabbed my arms to help me land steadily.
I saw the color on his clothes and grabbed his arm.
I can't do it anymore.
Hmph!
I don't know what possessed him, but he grabbed me tightly.
So, before the assembled immortals, we became each other's crutches and poured out our hearts to each other.
Amidst the nauseating, chaotic symphony, this time I heard a highly unified echo.
"Whoa!"
I could almost hear the fellow cultivators praising it.
"I told you so, I told you so, I told you it was true!" One of the cultivators was so excited he seemed about to flip the table and reveal his treasure.
Then, another group spoke in unison without hesitation:
"Um……"
I glanced up at them and found that most of my fellow cultivators were staring at my stomach.
However, quite a few of them ended up in Xie Jinhui's stomach.
I'm satisfied with this, after all, it's not all of them targeting me.
Xie Jinhui and I wrapped our arms around each other like tentacles, gradually closing the distance between us.
If you look closely at the color of his clothes, something seems off; it's not really green.
Xie Jinhui also whispered a confused explanation in my ear.
“Yuanhe, me too, I’m not wearing green.”
Yes, something's not right. Why is that green color on him floating around?
I gritted my teeth, grabbed Xie Jinhui's shoulders, and stared upwards.
!!
The master was squatting on a large green lotus leaf, staring down slowly with his toad eyes.
It turns out that it was he who opened the barrier gate, creating a reflection that shone a large patch of green onto Xie Jinhui!
I used a magical lock to trap my master's leg and pulled hard.
I'm so angry! That little toad croaked down, and it even brought a little green frog with it, croaking all over the place.
“Master, you’ve really made something of yourself! You’ve picked up a little green frog as your apprentice this time! I’ll whip you two silly idiots back into tadpoles.”
The little green frog tumbled and rolled into the ranks of the immortals, and a wisp of red smoke transformed into a matchmaking fairy.
Hey, it's still you three old bastards.
My master hopped and hopped, until he became a solemn tung tree, with green lotus leaves swaying along the edge, and then he turned back to the God of Muheng.
They all returned to their places, chatting and laughing as usual.
It's like they're completely abandoning me—blind, deaf, and ignoring me...
I am a stone that was born naturally, so if you don't respond when I call you, then you don't respond.
If you agree, I'm afraid you'll unleash a whole host of evil spirits and disturb the peace of the celestial realm.
I watched as the most timid and hesitant of the Red Shadow Marriage Immortals shrank back into the group of immortals, but he was too eye-catching.
But he's back too?
Yes!
I suddenly became excited. Wasn't the God of Marriage supposed to descend to the mortal realm to protect and guide us?
So, the Monk Zangli of Hunyuan Cloud Valley has also returned?
I quickly looked around.
Huh? Where's my crush?
Calling him a male god doesn't mean I'm being disrespectful; I admire his extraordinary demeanor as the god of war.
The Emperor Zangli, clad in black armor, his brows furrowed in deep clouds, brandished his magical weapon—the Guiwangyuan Spear—and it was truly...
Xie Jinhui patted my arm, indicating that I had been using him as a lookout for a while.
I forgot, I quickly took two steps back.
Now that we're all calm, we can finally take a good look at what color his clothes are.
He shook his sleeves and spun around again.
“Yuan’e, look, I’m not wearing green, am I?”
I nodded.
"I've wronged you, but why are you vomiting too?"
Xie Jinhui looked into my eyes and said with difficulty, "I don't know either. Seeing you throw up makes me feel nauseous too."
You may not know, but I do. The green blood that spurted out when you bit me that day...
That scene was truly too cruel.
“Yuan’e, my clothes are so interesting! They’re woven from rainbow silk from my house.” He said with great enthusiasm.
I picked up the conversation.
"Can it change color however it wants?"
Xie Jinhui's eyes brightened.
"Yes, Yuanhe, what's your favorite color?"
"Hmm... blue."
After saying that, Xie Jinhui's clothes turned a different shade of blue.
I frowned.
"No, no, make it shallower."
"Oh, how about this?" The immortal aura on Xie Jinhui's immortal robes flowed and changed colors.
"A little deeper, yes, yes."
Xie Jinhui and I walked forward together, and I noticed that the other immortals had their mouths open and their chins hanging down.
I'm studying colors, I have no time for anything else.
"What color is Yuanhe changing to?" he asked me.
I looked up at him, and he stopped and looked at me too.
"Xie Jinhui, could you please stop wearing green forever?"
Xie Jinhui exhaled, his words conveying a resolute warmth.
"able."
"I want to see something pink and delicate, like peach blossoms, the kind of thing that looks like peach blossoms."
"Great, look!"
"The sky has turned blue and the snow has turned green." I chuckled to myself.
What color is that?
"I made it up." Hahaha.
"Oh, then it has to change."
...
I asked him before entering the Purple Palace.
"Xie Jinhui, could you get me an outfit like this sometime?"
We entered side by side.
"No need to wait for another day, I can take it off and give it to you right now."
