Lotus Black Heart Bureau
I swallowed my anger and looked at the hazy ball of light that Xie Jinhui was holding in his palm.
Lady Jieyu's eyes also fixed on it, gradually revealing a series of expressions that widened the curve of her lips, including doubt, joy, and disbelief.
What is that?
"A thousand-fold lotus blossoms!"
Empress Jieyu could not hide her excitement and blurted it out.
It seems that the lotus flower she failed to obtain has now fallen into Xie Jinhui's hands.
She wanted to preemptively strike through some kind of unvarnished shamelessness.
He actually reached out his hand to hold the lotus flower.
"Thank you, Lord Xie. Thank you, Lord Xie."
Xie Jinhui glanced sideways and moved the lotus flower to my side.
"Lady Jieyu, this was specially picked for you by this deity. The purpose, of course, is..."
He deliberately kept her in suspense, and Lady Jieyu stretched out her neck and wrist.
Then Xie Jinhui said ruthlessly, "Ten thousand years of immortal power, I'll sell it to you."
Good heavens, they just raised the price on the spot, doubling it directly. No wonder they're from the same lineage as me, Little Dust.
Xie Jinhui, I consider you my bro, go ahead and be ruthless.
I felt so good and relieved.
Can you feed me a mouthful of the extra 50,000 years of immortal power you obtained through deception?
I stared back and forth between him and Lady Jieyu, as if I were looking at two magic pills, waiting to see which one would drop out so I could catch it.
Lady Jieyu's lips twitched, turning her face a dark red.
Xie Jinhui's heart turned even darker, and he seized the opportunity to deliver a decisive blow.
"Out of respect for the goddess Yuan'e, I'll give you a discount... only 50,000 years."
So, is it good value for money?
Lady Jieyu gave me and Xie Jinhui a dry, embarrassed smile; she was actually trying to find a way to benefit herself.
"Hehe, Little Lord Xie, Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. It's just about our two families..."
She suddenly pointed at me, "Nobody needs to use their immortal power anymore, right?"
However, I did break the bottle and lose the water, and Yuanhe is a righteous, outspoken, and helpful goddess.
Well, could you bring Little Xie Shenjun along next time you ask her to draw the spirit of the painting? Let the two of you do it together so I can draw it in the blank.
Hehehe..."
My hand, which was pinned under Xie Jinhui's thumb, clenched angrily again.
Xie Jinhui grabbed me and flung me across to the opposite side, where a cold glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"sure.
"No divine power will be used, and the lotus flower will not be given; these are my conditions."
Lady Jieyu fell silent instantly. She probably really thought Xie Jinhui was the carefree, frivolous immortal playboy she had heard about.
He is not.
But she still wanted to try.
"Little Lord Xie, Yuan'e caused trouble in the mortal realm and created such a huge mess. I promise you I'll keep this a secret for now."
But you can't treat me like this. At least, at least, give me the lotus flower.
Xie Jinhui gave a cold snort, but his tone was indeed persuasive.
"It is true that Yuan'e descended to the mortal realm, but who made her do something she was not good at, and who was so presumptuous as to climb Fei Kong Mountain, which was more suitable for Yuan'e to climb?"
It's all because of you, Lady Jieyu.
If you were less selfish, you could let the helpful kite climb the mountain to pick lotus flowers, while you guard your position in the lower realm.
How could the calamity of those twelve drops of divine water possibly occur?
Therefore, tracing back to the source, the only culprit behind the current situation is you.
And Yuanhe only got involved because she was willing to help you.
Lady Jieyu, you think I, the Divine Lord, am here to clean up the mess for Yuanhe?
Actually, it was because of Yuan'e that I saved you.
Lady Jieyu and I stared in disbelief at the same time, both looking at Xie Jinhui.
The darkness refreshed me, and I suddenly realized that all the divine punishment, thunder, and celestial prison torture were just daydreams I had made up out of thin air.
I felt relieved by his few words, and now I like him so much!
Looking at Consort Jieyu again, her body went limp, and her smile became natural.
Perhaps it's because there were too many weights on my body, and when I finally threw them all away, it felt effortless and real.
Her eyes softened, and she glanced at me and Xie Jinhui with scattered eyes.
"What are you two doing with your hands hidden under the table? Bring them up, Your Majesty, I want to see."
I was stunned. What kind of thought process is this?
Xie Jinhui, as if on cue, gently took my hand and placed it directly on the table.
Oh dear, it's so cold.
But I feel really at ease.
At this point, it would seem too contrived to just drop everything and flee.
Stay where you are, do whatever you want.
Hehe, now, the goddess Yuan'e is no longer just a fox borrowing the tiger's power, is she?
Hehehe. I have an older brother now!
But, those fifty thousand years of immortal power were simply canceled out.
It seems so.
Lady Jieyu has achieved her wish and has picked up the lotus flower.
"Your Majesty, I didn't actually want Yuanhe to compensate me just now. It's just that I wanted to use Yuanhe to pressure Lord Xie to help me pick lotus flowers."
Who knew that Little Xie was so kind-hearted, having already taken it! Now I, Your Majesty, am in a bind...
Please don't take offense, please don't take offense.
She lovingly stroked the flowers and leaves, her tenderness as gentle as water.
I asked Xie Jinhui in a low voice what the Thousand-Bend Lotus was used for.
Xie Jinhui answered softly.
"That's the Flower of Good Fortune, capable of making even a slightly powerful immortal fall in love with her."
Wow, I accidentally helped with a forced love affair. It's hard to say whether this is good or bad.
Seeing that I was confused and unsure of right from wrong, Xie Jinhui whispered something in my ear.
"When Lady Jieyu took a liking to someone, she also asked another immortal to pick a flower for her."
Don't worry, it's a two-way street. I won't act recklessly when it comes to matters of the heart.
Phew, that's good.
Lady Jieyu was touching, rubbing, and grinding there.
She's shrewd and calculating, but her sense of crisis is terrible.
The twelve beautiful water droplets in the lower realm are getting older and older as time goes on.
Doesn't she offer any effective advice on how to slow down the effects of the elixir and control the development of her beauty?
"Your Highness, regarding those twelve drops..."
I kindly reminded her that this was the most important thing to address.
That game just now has already wasted the time it takes to drink several cups of tea.
Lady Jieyu calmly said, "Little Xie said he has a solution."
Your Majesty, I have neither the ability to control the divine water nor the mental capacity to handle such matters.
I'll just wait patiently.
Xie Jinhui put down his teacup with a clear, crisp voice, his expression composed.
"Lady Jieyu, you'd better use your brain now. Be careful, the first person I tell you about will be you."
Upon hearing this, Lady Jieyu first examined the lotus flower in her hand, and after confirming that it was genuine, she immediately put it away.
She looked at Xie Jinhui with wariness and confusion.
"What do you mean by the scheming that Lord Xie mentioned?"
What do you mean? Xie Jinhui, abandoning his usual slow and deliberate manner, quickly explained his intention.
In summary, he wants the title of "True Beauty Fairy" to fall on me.
But in reality, the one in charge of handling affairs and management was Lady Jieyu.
In this way, I can share a portion of the offerings that the True Face Fairy Temple receives in the human world, after they are converted into divine power.
Not many, only three floors.
Heh, three floors? Just because Lady Jieyu is stingy?
When Lady Jieyu heard this, she naturally refused, and even considered jumping into her beautiful pond to escape into the water.
But Xie Jinhui asked her.
"Over the years, more than ten thousand temples dedicated to the True Face Fairy have sprung up in the human world. Isn't the actual beneficiary of these temples the Lady Jieyu herself?"
So, with the divine presence of the goddess Yuan'e overseeing things, Your Majesty, haven't the offerings you've received from mortals these days increased by more than a hundred times compared to before?
"Taking three layers of your total immortal power is much better than having you give up your position to Yuan'e and continue being your Lady Jieyu."
Lady Jieyu was shocked. She had thought that she could take this opportunity to become a true fairy without any effort and at the same time advance her celestial rank.
Xie Jinhui now wants to turn her back to her original form, and of course she won't allow it.
But she also knew that she could neither apologize to Jin Hui for forging the divine position, nor could she abandon her post on the spot and even overturn the Jieyu Niangniang Temple, which had been unknowingly forgotten by the world.
She could only offer conditions as much as possible.
"The offerings have indeed increased considerably, but Your Majesty is also extremely busy. If you could let Yuanhe help me share the burden, giving her three layers wouldn't be out of the question."
But, Your Majesty, I must take full responsibility.
If you, Lady Jieyu, don't take full responsibility, then who will?
I wouldn't go to the mortal realm to work, but I still need the third level of immortal power.
Why am I being so unreasonable? Because the conditions Xie Jinhui offered her were practically tailor-made for me.
He said he would petition the Holy Emperor to grant Lady Jieyu a genuine title of True Beauty Fairy.
They will also create a special floating island within the Fourteen Strings for her, as the Palace of the True Beauty Fairy.
In name, it is my immortal abode, but in reality, even the floating islands in the immortal realm's regulations are recorded as belonging to her, Lady Jieyu.
In the Palace of the True Beauty Fairy, Lady Jieyu not only holds great power, but also has the support of the Goddess Yuan'e and Xie Jinhui of Moxu Chenyuan.
The main attraction is the additional part; it's incredibly appealing.
As Lady Jieyu listened, she nodded more and more, just as she was about to burst forth with a burning desire to possess everything.
Xie Jinhui lost a son to the general.
"Lady Jieyu, I cannot bear to see you suffer, so I intend to personally descend to the mortal realm to guide you back to the twelve fairies who are destined to be with you."
I'll obey your orders and share your burdens.
What do you think? Do you want to cooperate with us?
The way they emphasized "cooperation" wasn't a question at all; it was a desperate, fanged attack, a determination to drag Lady Jieyu down with them.
If I don't go down, I'll scare you to death first!
As for enlightening the twelve fairies?
Xie Jinhui's intention was to transform the misfortune of the twelve drops of water into the great joy of sending twelve fairies to the celestial realm all at once, wasn't it?
It would be incredibly difficult for mortals to ascend to the immortal realm in one fell swoop, let alone twelve of them.
Xie Jinhui is capable, but can he really manage to enlighten twelve stunningly beautiful women of almost the same age from different regions at the same time?
Even if you create a bunch of clones, how can you guarantee that each girl's path to ascension will be unique, easy, and free from criticism from the immortals?
After a moment's thought: since he has done the absurd thing of painting beauties from all walks of life, I'll just open my eyes and believe him for now.
Lady Jieyu is a wise deity who enlightens fairies, but she has to bear the karmic consequences of those fairies' actions.
She didn't want to get involved, but she had no choice but to.
Xie Jinhui glanced at the resigned Lady Jieyu, then turned his gaze to me. He smiled and said, "Yuanhe, let's all three of us come together."
I opened my eyes wide and pricked up my ears to watch him ring the Butterfly Dream Bell.
Why am I here? Yes, I am indeed here.
It was me who smashed the bottle, throwing out twelve huge drops of water—a great beauty's calamity.
“Yuan’e!” Xie Jinhui said to me, “I will ask the Heavenly Emperor for permission later. In the meantime, please guard the Butterfly Dream Bell for me.”
besides……"
He channeled his immortal power into his palm, and a basin identical to the one in Moxu Chenyuan's hand appeared in his palm.
With a clatter, the basin landed on the jade table, instantly filling a pool of clear water.
Several small sticks surrounded by magical energy were placed next to the pot.
Lady Jieyu and I stared at each other, completely bewildered as to what he was up to.
Xie Jinhui's eyes were unpredictable.
"Also, this basin, wait a moment, I'll bring those twelve girls in one by one."
"You and I will enlighten each other together."
Huh? I'm totally confused, how do I do this?
Is catching people like catching fish?
