The goddess rested her head on her legs while the god had lower back pain.
Qi Tu, the Heavenly Physician, is on his way and has already made contact with the Heavenly Physicians of the Purple Extreme Palace.
As soon as we landed, a group of celestial healers rushed over.
It is said that he received an imperial edict from the Holy Emperor Sheng Sheng, ordering Xie Jinhui to be brought into the secluded Shide Water Pavilion within the Ziji Palace for medical treatment and recuperation.
I followed the large and imposing procession, intending to go in with Xie Jinhui.
A celestial physician and a messenger from the Purple Palace called out to me simultaneously in the corridor.
They actually had the same goal: to tell me the good news that Qi Tu had mentioned.
It turns out that the officials from the Heavenly Division Palace have returned, and their inspection revealed that the Heavenly Emperor had recovered ten days ago.
I was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow in an instant.
The Emperor's recovery is a blessing for me, and indeed for the entire celestial realm.
However, since the Heavenly Emperor had already recovered, why did the travelers take so long to return?
The explanation given was that the travelers repeatedly verified and surveyed various locations to ensure everything was correct before deciding to return.
This is indeed a rigorous and proper approach to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
As a goddess, I certainly understand.
I can overlook the extra days it might take to transport more chalcedony.
But Xie Jinhui...
Considering that he did it voluntarily, and that what happened today was an accident, no one can be blamed.
I suppressed my anger, not knowing who to demand justice from, and wiped away the tears they all thought I was shedding for the Heavenly Emperor.
The messenger led me to the palace and said, "The Heavenly Emperor is currently in the Purple Palace. If the Goddess Yuan'e is too concerned, I will ask the Heavenly Emperor on your behalf to grant you a meeting."
"No need." I took a step forward and said with a smile, "Emperor Shengsheng is well now and has already met many immortals today, so it is not appropriate for me to bother him further."
Could you please ask the official to grant me a decree allowing me free access to the Purple Palace?
I want……"
The messenger smiled knowingly and waved to me.
“Goddess Yuan’e, go to Shide Pavilion. You don’t need to ask for this decree.”
I rushed to the gate of Shide Water Pavilion and found the white-clad healers boarding cooing cranes and flying neatly into the sky...
The red and green carp spirits in the pond splashed and jumped up, all opening their mouths, begging the celestial physician, whom they hadn't seen in thousands of years, for a magical medicine to increase their intelligence and growth.
The scene before us, with birds and beasts scattered, indicates that the kind of momentous event that occurred—where a group of celestial physicians used all their skills to save a dying deity, causing the heavens and earth to change color—did not happen.
I have a pretty good idea of what happened to Xie Jinhui after being disciplined by the Ancestor. His cultivation level must be incredibly high.
In addition, my soul lock also circulated through his body. You should know that thing is more powerful than all the immortal techniques I have ever cultivated.
Sometimes I think that the reason why the Heavenly Emperor and my master spoil me so much and let me run wild might be related to this.
I knocked on the slightly ajar door, and one of the Heavenly Physicians who was staying inside came out to open it for me.
Then he smiled at me, said it was nothing serious, and left.
The celestial physician, with his long beard and the appearance of a moonlit pine tree, said he was in the next room and could be called anytime.
I walked around the windproof screen of mountains and water, past the swirling incense burner and the thin layer of smoke that obscured the view.
Xie Jinhui had removed his outer robe and was sitting on the couch.
The curtain obscured his figure, but his gaze pierced through it.
As he saw me slowly approaching him, he quietly moved toward the edge of the couch.
Look at Xie Jinhui's expression, it's fair and rosy, his breathing is smooth and even, and he even has that smug look he had before he angered me.
I wanted to glare at him and tell him to stop moving, but he smiled obediently, and I didn't want to interrupt him.
Unexpectedly, just as I got a step away from the bed, this guy suddenly opened his arms and said in a sweet voice, "Yuan'e, hug me."
I'll hug your big head...
oops……
Is he really injured? I won't let him hold me, but I can gently stroke his arms back to his side, one by one, and pat them to sleep.
Then, I sat on the bed with a smile and used my divine power to look him up and down.
"Xie Jinhui, is there anything else that's wrong? Is there anything that hurts?"
He was sitting quite steadily before I asked him, but after I asked him, I felt like his entire body had been transformed into bamboo sinews, so flexible yet strong and unbreakable.
“Yuan’e, I’m fine in every way, but my whole body feels flattened, even more so than when I only had one hand.”
What kind of discomfort was that? When Xie Jinhui transformed into human form, he did indeed hide in an extremely narrow crevice.
He said it was even flatter than that. I think it might be because the power of the chalcedony still lingered in his body and continued to compress him.
"Yuan'e, it hurts." Xie Jinhui carefully took my arm with both hands and leaned her head on my shoulder.
"It hurts, it hurts so much."
What could I do? I could only act as a support for him, letting him lean on me, lie down, and groan...
Oh my god...
I reached out and, through his clothes, poured my divine power into him from behind.
Xie Jinhui suddenly cried out and hugged my arm tightly.
"The celestial healers are not as good as Yuan'e. Will you stay and keep me company?"
I almost pushed him away, and almost fell for his trick of sticking to my skin.
"Heavenly Doctor, Heavenly Doctor, Xie Jinhui is in great pain right now. Please come and see if he is better."
I sent a series of telepathic messages to the next room.
Just then, Tianyi came out of the room. He was about to push the door open and come in, but after he had already stuck one foot in, he stepped back.
He peeked through the crack in the door and coughed a few times.
"Cough cough cough, shake hands for a little longer, and you'll be jumping around like a little kid again!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't even go back to the next room. He just left out the shadow of a crane and watched it run away.
It was only then that I realized that Xie Jinhui had already taken my hand without me noticing.
This time, after receiving official confirmation from the Heavenly Physician, I shook him off.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! Yuanhe, what if I fall apart if you don't hold me?"
I'm really scared of Xie Jinhui. He not only makes my heart race, but also makes my skin feel hot and uncomfortable.
This is terrifying! I used my magical powers to gently break free from him and jumped off the bed as if my life depended on it.
I stammered, "Um, Xie Jinhui, you're too busy right now. Good, I won't bother you anymore."
I'm leaving now.
As I spoke, I stumbled and wandered around, eventually getting out of the house.
He then closed the door behind him.
“The kite…”
Xie Jinhui called out to me as if he had lost his soul.
I leaned against the door, not wanting to summon the clouds, nor knowing which way to go.
They're stuck there like door gods, staring at the fish with pleading eyes and mouths that seem to be suffocating as they blow bubbles...
Finally, I sighed.
She turned around and opened the door. "Xie Jinhui, hurry up and get ready."
Xie Jinhui paused for a moment, then gave a firm reply: "Yes."
I saw him sitting upright in the shadow of the screen, and I immediately changed my mind and walked towards him.
"Xie Jinhui, I will stay by your side tonight and I will not let you fall apart."
.……
They spoke grandly, but that was before nightfall.
While it was still light, I sat at the table drinking tea. I must say, the water was really delicious. I'll fill two gourds and take them with me tomorrow.
He also served Xie Jinhui tea and water, and fed him the medicine brought by the Heavenly Physician.
The stars are out, but I can still drink my tea for a while longer.
When it gets even darker, can I go outside and collect some dew to drink?
Drinking water is important!
Of course not.
I had to keep my promise and keep a close eye on Xie Jinhui.
Since I re-entered the door, Xie Jinhui has grown up and become sensible. He obediently took a nap to nourish his immortal essence.
Now, he stares wide-eyed at me, his gaze unfocused and fixed on me, unable to see him.
“鸢姀”.
"Yes, I'm here!"
I focused my eyes and winked at him.
Xie Jinhui pointed to where I was sitting.
"Yuanhe, you go to sleep here, I'll go to your place."
That won't do," I shook my head repeatedly.
Xie Jinhui smiled slightly, got up and leaned against the cushion, leaving a large space on the bed.
"Then come and lean against me."
I really need a bed right now, even though I didn't get a chalcedony treatment today, the lingering problem of feeling sleepy at night is still there.
Moreover, I also used Soul Lock.
Seeing such a large space on the tatami mat, I felt it would be impolite to refuse, so I climbed up rather unceremoniously.
She even haphazardly took off her cloud boots.
I straightened up and realized what was happening. I quickly composed myself and gave Xie Jinhui an awkward smile.
For my two bare feet.
Xie Jinhui knew what it meant to share hardships, so he wiggled his feet to indicate that he wasn't wearing shoes either.
Since we're evenly matched, I'll just accept it calmly.
"Thank you, Jinhui."
“鸢姀”.
We said the same thing.
After waiting for a moment, they said at the same time, "Go to sleep."
How could I possibly sleep? I have plenty of reasons.
"No, you need to cultivate your immortal body, you should go to sleep."
I can't close my eyes; I have to watch over you to prevent your immortal power from becoming unstable and turning into tiny dust.
Xie Jinhui said "oh" and then moved closer to me, looking as if he had come up with something.
“Yuan’e, you can actually sleep. Didn’t you notice that as long as you hold my left hand, the immortal power in my body will naturally condense?”
So, you can just hold my hand while you sleep, okay?
That's one solution.
"But what if I sleep with you?" I almost blurted out a question that would cause trouble.
Xie Jinhui, however, did not try to scare me as usual.
“There are better ways to cultivate one’s immortal body than sleep.”
I won't sleep; I'll simply meditate and enter a state of deep concentration to cultivate myself in subtle and profound ways.
Xie Jinhui's attitude is really good. I've also come to share a heart of mutual appreciation, to share a bed, no, to share a bed and cultivate together.
I moved closer to him, crossed my legs, and then took Xie Jinhui's left hand, calming my mind and closing my eyes.
"Come on, Xie Jinhui, I'll keep you company and meditate until dawn."
Before my eyes, the flickering light of the fairy candles and the faint glow of the spirit stone lamps gradually dimmed.
Before entering the primordial light, I heard the sound of Xie Jinhui's clothes folding and rolling.
Yes, he was also sitting cross-legged, following along.
The world within is filled with fragrance; unknowingly, within the bounded boundaries of those ancient and mysterious sites, the only fragrance is the same.
*
The next morning, I was just feeling relieved that I hadn't had to carry a potty today...
But I immediately realized, what was I resting my head on?
Xie Jinhui's legs were still crossed!
I moved gently and looked up. Xie Jinhui had already closed his eyes and was still in a meditative state.
Wow!
In that instant, the morning light shone in a thousand different forms, breaking through the clouds.
I feel that Xie Jinhui is as dazzling as a thousand rays of light shining down, sacred yet ethereal, beyond compare, pure and immaculate...
As if lost in a fog.
I didn't jump up in fear, nor did I shout or call his name.
He rested his head on the god's lap, held the god's hand, and admired the god's natural talent and majesty as if he were watching the stars in the sky and the rotation of the sun and moon.
Just outside, the cheerful whispers of the little fairy maids who were cleaning in the morning drifted over.
"The goddess Yuan'e hasn't come out all night."
"You mean, the goddess Yuan'e and Lord Xie spent the night together in one room?"
"Yes, yes, keep it down, keep it down."
...
I've forgotten how I managed to keep my body stiff and try not to disturb Xie Jinhui.
Silently and without looking to the side, he slipped on his cloud-patterned boots and climbed off the bed.
Then, push open the door...
The goddess Yuan'e, with a clear conscience, appeared upright and honest in broad daylight, before countless eyes.
I took long strides, but why are these shoes a little loose?
Never mind, I must keep my eyes straight ahead and show the kind of kindness and grace befitting a goddess to the little fairy who comes to greet me.
I did nothing wrong, I have a clear conscience, yes, I have a clear conscience.
However, I hadn't walked far when I heard Xie Jinhui shout from inside the room: "Yuanhe, where are my cloud boots?"
Ouch, my back hurts.
The surrounding fairies didn't have time to cover their mouths before they burst into laughter.
Ah, Xie Jinhui said his back hurts; he was carrying a mountain on his back.
You little fairies don't know, but I do.
In short, think what you want, I'm completely open and honest.
But when I looked down...
Hehehe, how come Xie Jinhui's cloud boots are on my feet?
What should I do? Should I run back to put on my own shoes, or walk on these?
After thinking about it, I chose between the two.
With a flick of his foot, he sent two cloud boots flying one after the other into Xie Jinhui's room using the power of immortality.
"I'm returning the shoes to you."
As I spoke, I didn't care where my cloud boots had landed, and flew barefoot up into the clouds.
They fled in panic.
But they vaguely heard a fairy speaking.
"The goddess Yuan'e will surely become the future empress."
Empress and Emperor?
What does this mean, Holy Emperor Shengsheng, that you want to marry me as your empress?
No, that won't work!
