"Why are you giving me this red string?"
She had so many red strings, each one prettier and more delicate than Chunyu's. Sisi took two steps back, not wanting them.
Chunyu was a little disappointed. "I gave it to my senior sister. I thought she liked me. Did I misunderstand?"
He stood there, his gaze lowered. Suddenly, Sisi imagined an apricot tree standing alone in the wind, its petals scattered by the wind, while he was powerless to do anything about it.
Sisi touched her nose. "Never mind, I'll take it. It's just a red string."
Chunyu's eyes lit up instantly. He stepped forward, his face flushed, and reached out his hand. "Senior sister, let me tie it on your wrist. It will look really nice."
Sisi reached out her hand without thinking much.
The red string was tied around her fair and slender wrist. Chunyu suppressed her excitement and said very politely, "Senior sister, I will go back and tell Master to prepare things for the betrothal. Please wait for me."
For some reason, once the red string was tied, she suddenly felt that the spring rain was like a dazzling star, and everything else paled in comparison.
She couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
Sisi didn't think much of it and nodded. Chunyu left happily. She wrinkled her little nose, not understanding why he was happy, but she couldn't help feeling happy herself.
Chunyu was very happy. He thought that with Xiaosi ahead of him, his senior sister would not accept him.
To my surprise, my senior sister accepted.
Unable to suppress the smile on her lips, Chunyu rubbed the same red string on her wrist. At that moment, in the corridor not far away, several dignified-looking immortals were discussing something.
He slowed his pace.
"The goddess is truly beautiful. In all my years in the Heavenly Palace, this is the first time I have ever seen such a beautiful female immortal."
"Yes, she's beautiful and cute. I'm so happy with her. I've already prepared the betrothal gifts and plan to propose marriage."
"I'm ready too. Your betrothal gifts are definitely not as precious as mine, and I'm more handsome than you. The goddess will surely choose me!"
"Stop being so narcissistic. You're an old man who's tens of thousands of years old, and you still have the nerve to compete with me? I'm only a few thousand years old, and I'm young and beautiful in my prime."
As they were talking, they started arguing.
"A bunch of idiots who can't recognize a great man."
A mocking voice came from behind Chunyu. He turned around, saw the person, and his expression turned indifferent. "Long'er."
Long'er raised her head proudly, "You shouldn't call me Long'er now, you should call me Yuanjun!"
Spring Rain remained silent.
Long'er retorted, "I was personally appointed by the Jade Emperor."
"You know how you got this, don't you?"
Chunyu looked at her, and Long'er clenched her fist and snorted coldly, "This is what I earned through my own hard work, don't talk nonsense."
His laughter became increasingly sarcastic.
Long'er said coldly, "You're still listening with great interest. These blind fools actually have their eyes on that little brat Long Sisi and even want to propose marriage to her. It's unbelievable."
Her voice, neither too loud nor too soft, reached the ears of the immortals, and Chunyu watched with amusement, arms crossed.
"Star Goddess? A little girl who controls the stars, shouldn't you take a good look at yourself? Your mouth is full of sour words, you're just jealous of the goddess!"
"Exactly! Look at her, she's not even as good-looking as a goddess's toe, yet she has the nerve to yell at us for being stupid. I think she's the one who's too stupid to recognize her own limitations!"
"Tsk, with her looks, she's bound to be lonely."
"No one has offered her a betrothal gift. People in our immortal realm have high standards; how could they possibly be interested in her?"
Long'er's face turned pale with anger. She retorted, "How dare you! I am the Star Lord! How dare you humiliate me like this?"
They scoffed dismissively, "He's just a star-counter, what's so great about that?"
Long'er was so angry that her face turned green. What did they mean by calling her a mere star-counter? She was Yuanjun! These brainless idiots!
"My master is the Celestial Venerable Lingbao!"
"So what? The Celestial Venerable wouldn't be as unreasonable as you, casually insulting others!"
"I really don't know how Lingbao Tianzun chose her. With such poor aptitude, what qualifications does she have to be Lingbao Tianzun's disciple?"
Long'er roared angrily, "Shut up!"
The immortals sneered, "What? You want to fight us? Don't you know your own strength? I could crush you with a single finger."
"..."
Long'er's anger was suddenly jolted awake by a bucket of cold water. Her fingertips dug deep into her palms, and she realized that she was no match for these people.
Finally, under pressure from several immortals, Long'er reluctantly apologized. The immortals naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against a mere girl like her, and then they started talking about what kind of extraordinary treasure to choose for the goddess's betrothal.
"Gentlemen, just give up." Chunyu chuckled and raised her wrist. "The goddess has already pledged her life to me. Even if you go to propose, it will be a waste of your time."
Seeing the red rope, the immortals looked regretful. "You sly fellow, you beat us to it. Oh well, since it's settled, we won't force you."
They left, grumbling and complaining.
Spring Rain stroked the red string in her hand, her face beaming with happiness.
Long'er's eyes flickered. "Long Sisi and you secretly pledged your lives to each other? Why would she do that?"
"She likes me."
"Does Xiaosi know?"
Chunyu's face was somewhat cold. "He doesn't need to know that Sisi is already mine."
Long'er scoffed, "You're probably lying to me."
Seemingly having her thoughts exposed, Chunyu left in annoyance.
Long'er turned around and told Xiao Si about it, saying sarcastically, "Oh dear, you're so hung up on her, but little do you know she already has someone else in her heart."
"roll!"
Long'er was taken aback, and unable to control her emotions, she said, "Fine, you dare to insult me? I'm your senior sister!"
Xiao Si gave her a cold look and then disappeared.
As soon as the spring rain entered the Flower Goddess's territory, someone grabbed her by the neck and then began to pummel her with a barrage of fists.
"Xiao Si?!"
Xiao Si coldly watched him, not only tearing the red rope off his wrist, but also slashing at him with her sword. Her fierce aura made Chun Yu tremble with fear.
The commotion from their fight attracted the Flower Goddess, forcing Xiao Si to calm down. He didn't say a word, and after finishing his fight, he turned and left, infuriating the Flower Goddess who threatened to complain to Taiqing.
Xiao Si couldn't contain his anger. He wanted to ask why. Why did she accept his red string?
He arrived at Wanbaoshan, and Zhuque gave him a cold look, asking, "What are you doing here?"
"And her?"
Zhuque retorted irritably, "None of your business."
"My patience has its limits."
"I've been patient enough..."
Zhuque's voice stopped abruptly as Xiaosi's sword pressed against her neck, his eyes icy cold.
"I'll ask one last time, where is she?"
Zhuque swallowed hard. "She's gone into the Phenomenology Book; she might not be back for two hours..."
Xiao Si sheathed his sword and said, "You can get lost now."
