The Goddess's Deepest Favor and Pampering of All Living Beings
"They haven't even finished kissing yet, and my tadpoles have already hatched."
"Haven't you heard? These two deities are deeply in love, not just lustful..."
"Shut up!"
...
Amazing! Could it be that Xie Jinhui and I have been kissing for so long that our immortal powers have become intertwined?
This allowed me to hear the voices of many immortals conversing within the Abyss of the Mortal Realm.
The croak that was hatching tadpoles sneezed, said it was sleepy, and then plopped back into the pond.
The word "Shut up" came from the pool, which allowed the frog to pass.
But the turtle that made the crude joke didn't seem so lucky; the pond seemed to punish it.
Then I heard a continuous, crisp popping sound as the turtle shell hit a hard object, and it slid for quite a while before finally stopping.
Perhaps it even spun around, producing circles of silver threads.
The turtle stretched its neck and groaned in a muffled, guttural voice.
"Chi Zi, what are you doing? You turned into an ice block and won't let me go home."
Chi Zi chuckled, shaking off the ice shards all over his body, making a tinkling sound.
Inspired by the clear, crisp sound of tapping ice, I gently pecked Xie Jinhui's lips a few times.
He frowned, unwilling to wake from the long and lingering kiss, and gently caressed my lips.
I then followed him into a dreamlike state, as if surrounded by water, as if surrounded by swaying mountains, as if I had forgotten myself and lost all sense of time and space.
Xie Jinhui was probably corrupted by the immortal spirits in the Moxu Chenyuan. In the world, he was originally the best and most pure sweetness.
My love for him has nothing to do with some kind of fateful "deep-rooted love" that fell upon me. It was I, Yuan'e, who fell in love with Xie Jinhui.
It was me who fell in love with him.
"Xie Jinhui." I pulled him into my sea of consciousness and took him to see the jade stone guarded by the soul lock.
When the Soul Lock saw Xie Jinhui arrive, it seemed to miss him, yearn for him, and feel pity for him, surrounding and protecting him.
The jade stone was completely exposed.
I pointed to the patterns on the jade, patterns that were far deeper than love itself.
Each grain, difficult to erode, has become clearly visible under the sculpting of time, revealing Xie Jinhui's image.
I spoke with certainty.
"It was my own decision to fall in love with you, not for any other reason than that you are Xie Jinhui."
The air fell silent for a moment.
Immediately, Xie Jinhui's eyes lit up like stars, bright and passionate, his emotions churning.
I couldn't bear to look at it, so I closed my eyes. It turned out that the emotion was deeper and more intense than any kiss I had just experienced.
“Yuan’e, I love you. It has been etched into my heart since before I was born.”
...
If it weren't for the Ancestral Lord's light cough, which awakened all the living beings in the Moxu Dust Abyss...
If it weren't for the fact that he never uttered a sigh from his mouth, which he had never spoken to outsiders for millennia.
"My son, you have been indulging in this for too long. You must not neglect your path to immortality."
"Yuan'e, return to Qunshan Garden and wait. My son will be ready soon and will surely come to visit."
What should we do? The hands that Xie Jinhui and I were holding tightly were severed in an instant, leaving only our eyes locked together.
Zu Jun broke up the couple, but the two lovers didn't seem too sad.
At this moment, her feelings were clear, and she knew that this kiss, which sealed their love, had been a little too long, just a little bit.
Separating is a good solution; otherwise, what else can we do?
I drifted along, gradually escaping the abyss of nothingness.
With her long hair flowing in the wind and her red lips painted crimson, Xie Jinhui gazed at me with a smile.
Before I left, I heard the whispers of the fairies again.
"Why did you send the young mistress away?"
"You don't understand. They've been intimate for so long, but they haven't had any children."
The patriarch was anxious; he quickly sent the young mistress away, prepared the betrothal gifts, and prepared for the wedding.
I, the goddess Yuan'e, was so shy that I used my divine power to escape quickly.
No need to see me off, Mo Xuchenyuan is just too frivolous.
*
The goddess Yuan'e reappears in the celestial realm with fourteen strings!
I never expected that after going to Moxu Chenyuan, although it hasn't been a year, three whole months have passed.
When I appeared in the Mountain Garden, all the eyes of the immortals were focused on me.
They and their fellow immortals no longer treated me with the same teasing attitude as before, but became increasingly respectful.
This immortal realm feels a bit unfamiliar to me; I only kissed Xie Jinhui...
I feel like three months is just a fleeting moment, not a hundred thousand years.
Thankfully, Mu Zhu is still as sharp-tongued yet tender-hearted as ever towards me.
She made me spin around in front of her several times, and only nodded in relief when she saw that I hadn't gained or lost weight.
“The Purple Palace sent someone to inquire about your wedding dress size last month. Well, you haven’t gained much weight, so the original size is just right.”
Mu Zhu doesn't know how much I want to tell her, Stone, that I have found a fairy partner, Stone, and that I am so happy.
However, Mu Zhu is similar to Xian Bei'er; he is a proper and good immortal who only cares about the immortal ranks and immortal path. He likes to speculate and play around with love and romance, but he disdains them.
I could tell she didn't want to listen to me, and she was too lazy to make sarcastic remarks about my rosy lips and peach-blossom face.
"Where's Chen Yi?" I noticed that one of the little ants was missing from the yard, and I couldn't sense her presence, so I asked.
Mu Zhu shook his head and sighed.
"That little girl is too useless. She let a wisp of grass go and climb over the wall of Hunyuan Cloud Stream."
...
Back in my bedroom, I saw Xie Jinhui's portrait in the basin on the table, and my heart started pounding and my whole body trembled.
Oh no! This goddess has him completely infatuated with her, and she's fallen under the spell of love.
Now, whenever I see or think about anything related to him, my heart immediately surges with emotion and I feel restless and agitated.
Why did Zu Jun separate us? If we had stayed together, we would never have experienced this kind of torment.
Perhaps, this is what Zu Jun was planning, like pulling malt sugar in the human world, pulling and pulling repeatedly, so that I can never leave Xie Jinhui again?
It's strange. Why did we break up after falling in love? We're not fickle, entangled in karma, or helpless mortals caught in the sea of desire.
Once you fall in love, you're in love forever, and that will never change.
I am a stone. The sea cried, I rotted, but I remain unchanged.
At night, I think of Xie Jinhui; during the day, I think of Xie Jinhui.
When my master learned that I had returned, he started sending me various bones used to make mountain buns again.
I still want to thank Jinhui.
It's not that I don't want to build hills, I just prefer to lie on a tatami mat, lean against the window, squat by the door, or sit on a swing set...
I want to thank Jinhui.
The skeletons in the house were piled up and piled up, truly turning into a demon's lair. I, the demon king nestled on my bed, was too lazy to grind them into powder or build mountains.
I've become rotten, decadent, and unmotivated...
I tied the cloud-like gauze that Xie Jinhui had worn to my face, my breath coming in and out, the breeze blowing, the silky smooth gauze felt like his lips.
Love is more domineering than any of the immortal arts I have ever practiced.
I don't want to bite my hands anymore; I want to be with my family.
Thinking of the intimacy between Mo Xuchenyuan, I also thought of even earlier times.
Thinking back to the day I kicked Xie Jinhui off the table, his body, his contours, his curves, his skin, and...
...I was overthinking it, I slapped myself repeatedly.
“Yuanhe, stop! She’s still an innocent baby.”
But then I thought, "Who isn't a baby at heart?"
A jumble of emotions overwhelmed me; love, desire, and longing made me lose my grip, curling up on the bed, twisting and turning.
Then there was a loud bang at the door.
Mu Zhu, who was already reluctant to clean, was so frightened that he dropped the broom and complained bitterly.
“I told you long ago, if you keep these things in the house, they’ll get infested with maggots sooner or later.”
*
The night before the invitation from Ziji Palace arrived, Master returned.
Mu Zhu said I was lovesick and slept with a skeleton every day.
I said no, and Master looked at the new thing I had made and agreed.
“This is not a skeleton,” I said. “This is a protective armor made from the toughest bones I selected, mixed with fairy power.”
The master and the others spoke in unison.
"Who is it for?"
Here we go again, asking questions you already know the answer to. Shouldn't I put your minds at ease and stop testing me?
Holding the armor, I smiled foolishly: "Give it to my husband."
"Shameless, shameless, Yuanhe, you really have no shame."
Mu Zhu is ashamed for me, but I am ashamed of what?
Undeterred by my defiant gaze, she continued, "You're even calling him 'husband' now? He's just an unmarried man at best. You're too impatient, Yuan'e."
My master was very satisfied with my attitude. He stroked his beard and chuckled, "No rush, there's no rush."
Yuan'e's romantic feelings developed too slowly, but once they did, no one could compare.
"My dear disciple, don't be impatient. Tomorrow, tomorrow, your master will marry you off."
At midnight, the lamp spirit inexplicably ignited and exploded. I got up and saw the lake water in the basin bubbling, as if it were boiling, or as if fish had jumped in and escaped.
The water quickly calmed, reflecting my face. The rouge on my lips was the imagined wedding makeup I had secretly applied before bed.
What's wrong? A few pieces are missing, like fish in the water have stolen a few bites.
I bent down and kissed the water's surface, and sure enough, the cunning fish was lurking there, quickly taking the bait.
It was him, my Xie Jinhui.
*
The next morning, Mu Zhu delivered a bright red invitation, saying that news had come from the Ziji Palace that the Ancestor had entrusted the Divine Lord Mu Heng to arrange a betrothal for Xie Jinhui to marry me.
The Holy Emperor Sheng Sheng wants to personally set a wedding date for me and Xie Jinhui. Mu Zhu told me to hurry up and get dressed up so I can go to the Purple Extreme Palace with my master in a little while.
No wonder Master came back; those old men love to conspire together.
Mu Zhu rubbed his eyes, as if he hadn't seen me clearly. He took a few steps closer to me, looked at me, then at the basin, and then gasped.
"Silly Stone, what were you and him doing in the basin last night? Was it your first time? Did you have some spiritual practice?"
"No way!" I covered my face with my hands in embarrassment, noticing that my palms were red. I then glanced at the basin and saw that the water was also bright red, just like his face from last night.
I woke up with a start.
Xie Jinhui and I didn't do anything bad last night, but we did something else.
"We, we, we just kissed...that's all."
Mu Zhu, with an indifferent, forced smile, suddenly conjured a bronze mirror in front of my eyes.
"Yes, yes, it was just a kiss."
The face I saw in the mirror was a bright red, lively cat-faced design with lip prints!
Oh dear, I forgot about the lip balm made from the leaves of the "Azure Blood Lotus," which, with just a drop of water, can turn a lake or sea ten miles wide red...
I pulled my clothes and blanket over myself and crawled inside; I was too ashamed to show my face.
Mu Zhu reached out and pulled me off the bed, yelling, "Hurry up, wash up and get ready. You'll be meeting your fiancé soon, so give him a good kiss."
I complied with all of Mu Zhu's tidying up and listened attentively to her rambling, which was as swift as her movements.
“Yuanhe, look at the two of you. If it weren’t for that time when Fei Kong Mountain almost destroyed the Immortal Realm, you and he saved the world without hesitation.”
Even if it were the Holy Emperor Sheng Sheng, insisting on entrusting the future of the Immortal Realm to you and Xie Jinhui, I would be the first to jump out and object. Do either of you seem reliable?
I responded to her words with a flattering "hehe".
"Oh, right, Yuanhe, there's something else I forgot to tell you."
The Holy Emperor has issued a decree ordering Xie Jinhui to succeed to the throne five hundred years from now.
"Five hundred years? Not bad."
Without thinking, I blurted out a sentence.
Actually, I already knew from Xie Jinhui that he would succeed as the Heavenly Emperor.
On the day that the Holy Emperor chose him, he and the Ancestor Lord agreed on the time for his succession.
Xie Jinhui didn't know which day it would be, but until that day came, he had to cultivate diligently day and night.
Thinking about it this way, the three months that he and I spent so engrossed in our studies, neglecting our studies, are enough to make the common people tremble with fear.
I believe that even the Heavenly Emperor cannot become a mere ritual object or a stubborn rock that serves the Heavenly Way entirely.
My Xie Jinhui must have a vibrant passion, and also an emperor and empress he can never tire of looking at, and a lover who will never leave his side.
After he becomes the Heavenly Emperor, I will not contend with any living being for him.
But in the five hundred years before he takes on this responsibility, I will definitely experience with him the most beautiful love in the world.
I'll give him whatever he wants.
May his five hundred years of joy never fade, may his pure and fiery spirit remain forever, and may he, the divine ruler, find peace and tranquility.
"Five hundred years, that's plenty of time to have fun."
I said, twisting a strand of my hair that was hanging down.
As Mu Zhu combed my hair, he stared at my cynical reflection in the bronze mirror and said with concern, "Yuan'e, you two should strive to improve your skills. In the future, you will have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people; that is of utmost importance."
Do you even understand what "of utmost importance" means?
I raised my eyes, absolutely certain.
“Of course,” I said, “it is of utmost importance in the eyes of this goddess…”
I deliberately glanced at Mu Zhu's expression; she was clearly stunned by my current demeanor as a benevolent goddess.
This is exactly the resolute expression on my face when I faced the collapse and fall of Fei Kong Mountain and unleashed the Soul Lock.
She seemed to believe me, and smiled with satisfaction in the mirror.
Mu Zhu, don't trust me too much. Do you know what my answer is?
I instantly put on a grin and said playfully, "In these five hundred years, my top priority has been to give him love."
What a tiger! He's got my hair and braids all in his hands.
She pulled hard, and all that was left was me crying out in pain, begging for mercy with tears in my eyes.
Five hundred years, that leaves 499 years and 364 days.
I burst into laughter through my tears: There's still time; let's spoil both the common people and him.
