Void space.
Qi An was in seclusion, her eyes closed, with spiritual and soul power swirling around her.
Having traveled through so many worlds, she had accumulated a considerable amount of soul power, and recently, she had a vague feeling that she was about to break through.
After returning from Korea, no one came to her door to make a wish, so she instructed Fugui and Ata to keep an eye on things while she went into seclusion to break through her cultivation barrier.
Therefore, when Ata sensed Yan Xi's overwhelming resentment and brought her soul to the void, it was Fugui who received her.
“I just checked, and Sister An’an is at a critical juncture in her seclusion. Let’s do this mission together.”
Ata nodded: "Yeah, don't embarrass the boss, don't ruin our reputation."
"Don't worry, I'm not someone to be trifled with either."
The two were shocked when they saw Yan Xi. How much hatred must she have felt? Her soul was already showing signs of demonic possession.
No wonder he didn't enter the cycle of reincarnation, but instead remained in the world, summoned by Ata.
Fu Gui, mimicking Qi An, asked, "What is your wish? Please tell me."
Yan Xi spoke expressionlessly: "I want to slay immortals and gods."
"Cough cough." Fugui and Ata coughed violently.
That's incredible! They landed a huge order on their very first day working at the store.
Fu Gui straightened his expression and said, "Alright, tell me in detail, why do you want to kill immortals and gods?"
Yan Xi's eyes were filled with boundless hatred: "They are not worthy of being gods. As immortals, they should be protecting the world, but because of some boring and ridiculous love, they treat mortals as ants and trample on them at will."
"They are high and mighty, all-powerful, yet utterly devoid of compassion; vile, boring, and despicable. Tell me, do they not deserve to die?"
Atalala tugged at Fugui and whispered, "It seems like a love affair between immortals is a disaster for mortals."
Fu Gui asked Yan Xi, "What did they do?"
Yan Xi exhaled and told the two a ridiculous story about an immortal undergoing tribulation.
"I am Princess Yan Xi of the Li Kingdom. Because I unintentionally disrupted the tribulation of the god Li Ye, he and a female immortal caused my country to be destroyed and my family to perish."
"A few years ago, the Chen Kingdom became a vassal state of the Li Kingdom and sent Qi Yu, a hostage who was the mortal incarnation of Li Ye."
“He didn’t have a good time in the royal palace of the Li Kingdom. He was always bullied. The worst time was when he was pushed into the water in the dead of winter. I saved him.”
Yan Xi was filled with remorse: "Later I learned that the suffering and hardship he endured were all part of his tribulations, and he brought it upon himself."
"Qi Yu was abandoned by the Chen Kingdom. In this life, he should have tasted all kinds of suffering, severed all love and affection, and finally possessed a vast country and enjoyed boundless loneliness. Only then could he be considered to have successfully overcome his tribulation."
"He schemed against me, originally just wanting to treat me better, but later he fell in love with me, and so did I. My father and mother loved me, so they made him my son-in-law."
A discarded pawn married the most noble princess of the Li Kingdom. He was satisfied, but also felt inferior.
He grew increasingly eager for power, and the Chen Kingdom began to value this prince consort. The Chen Emperor then tempted him with the throne.
"As long as you can help me conquer the Li Kingdom, you will be the next ruler of the world, and no one will ever again bully you, look down on you, or call you a good-for-nothing hiding under a woman's skirt."
After much deliberation, Qi Yu agreed, on the condition that Yan Xi not be harmed.
Then, taking advantage of Yan Xi's trust, he stole many secrets of the Li Kingdom, and finally defected back to the Chen Kingdom.
"Before he left, he put on a show to make me think he had been kidnapped by thieves, until he led the Chen Kingdom soldiers to attack the Li Kingdom's border."
Yan Xi said self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I didn't hate him that much at the time. I just thought I was blind. At worst, I would find a group of assassins to kill him, and then we would be even."
Ata and Fugui exchanged a glance, their eyes saying: Thank goodness, he's not a hopeless romantic.
"When two countries go to war, victory or defeat depends on their own abilities. The Li Kingdom is not afraid of war, and the Chen Kingdom is no match for us at all, but that is on the premise that no gods interfere."
Yan Xi said resentfully, "Li Ye has a lover in the Immortal Realm. She was angry that Li Ye fell in love with me during his tribulation, so she interfered in the war between the two countries."
Wealth and status are clear; when immortals intervene, mortals have no chance to fight back.
"The Li Kingdom is plagued by natural disasters, while the Chen Kingdom is blessed by the gods. Qi Yu has also been endowed with supernatural powers and is victorious in every battle. My homeland and my people have become the tools for his tribulations."
"In the end, the Li Kingdom was utterly defeated, and the royal family was slaughtered. I committed suicide to atone for my sins, and only after my death did I learn this absurd truth."
Tears welled up in Yan Xi's eyes: "Why? Why is it that when he undergoes tribulation, it is my country and my people who suffer? What does it have to do with us?"
"I am a mortal, I don't understand those pointless tribulations of the gods. She took so many innocent lives to vent her anger just because of a ridiculous jealousy. Is this what it means for gods to love the world?"
"What are we in the eyes of those high and mighty immortals? Can they just kill a few of us for fun whenever they're unhappy?"
Fu Gui honestly said, "Immortals have long lifespans, often tens of thousands of years. The few decades that mortals live are just a short time for them, like drinking a cup of tea. Calling them ants is a stretch."
Ata kicked Fugui hard, saying something completely untrue.
Yan Xi said, "I want Li Ye and that bitch to pay for their crimes in blood. I want my country and my people to be safe and sound. I'm willing to pay any price. Can you promise me that?"
Ata said, "Wait a moment, let's discuss this."
Ata pulled Fugui aside: "Should we accept it or not? The boss hasn't come out of seclusion yet."
"Answer it, why don't you answer it?" Fugui asked, puzzled.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it, and you might even be discovered by the Heavenly Dao."
"Tch, don't underestimate me, and don't be afraid, I'll protect you." Fugui pinched Ata's cheek.
"Besides, Sister An'an will be out of seclusion soon. Let's go first, and she will naturally come to meet us after she comes out of seclusion."
"Okay, I'll take it."
Fu Gui coughed lightly: "Princess Yan Xi, we accept your prayer."
Fu Gui left a message for Qi An, and then took Ata away from the void space.
The time rewind begins, and after the feeling of weightlessness, Fugui becomes Princess Yan Xi of the Li Kingdom.
"Princess, I heard that the red plum blossoms by Taiye Lake are in bloom. They look beautiful against the white snow. Let's go take a look."
Fu Gui turned to look at the palace maid who had spoken, staring at her until she was sweating before finally saying, "Alright."
The palace maid breathed a long sigh of relief.
The princess was so scary just now; she almost thought she'd been caught taking money.
Ata also realized: "This palace maid deliberately led Yan Xi to the lakeside; she must have conspired with Qi Yu."
Fu Gui was completely unconcerned: "It doesn't matter."
Before even reaching the lake, Fugui saw people splashing around in the water.
"Help!"
The palace maid was horrified: "Princess, someone has fallen into the lake!"
Fu Gui glanced at it and said to Ata, "There's still ice in that lake. It looks cold. This bastard really went all out."
Ata shuddered: "If we don't do this, how can we make Yan Xi feel sorry for him?"
Fu Gui walked to the lakeside. Qi Yu's lips were blue from the cold. When he saw the person coming, his eyes lit up and he struggled even more violently, choking on several mouthfuls of water.
