Chapter Sixteen: Can His Majesty's Words Still Be Taken?
Meanwhile, Gu Yanjing remained in the Heavenly Realm. He had not returned to the Heavenly Realm for several decades. Many gods in the Heavenly Realm had perished, and there were not many immortals he knew.
Even his elder brother, the Heavenly Emperor Gu Yanci, went to conquer the Demon Realm and fight with the Demon Lord Wu Yu. He hasn't returned yet, leaving only the Goddess Ye Anjing under the Heavenly Emperor's throne and the Southern Emperor Zhuo Yang, who succeeded him, to guard the Heavenly Realm.
He had been staying in the Heavenly Realm for over a month without receiving a reply from Gu Yanci. He figured the battlefield was too dangerous for his brother to reply.
Gu Yanjing planned to wait another half month. If he still didn't receive a reply from his brother, he would have no choice but to return to the human realm.
However, on this day, Ye Anjing hosted a banquet for the gods, and Gu Yanjing was among those invited. He originally did not intend to go, but Ye Anjing mentioned someone.
"Your Majesty, Goddess Anyu will also be there."
After a moment's thought, Gu Yanjing finally agreed.
Actually, he couldn't remember much about the girl he was with. He only remembered that she seemed to be less attractive than himself and less attractive than Lu Lingjun.
As for why he proposed to her, it was probably because Lu Lingjun glanced at An Yu a few more times.
No, what is he thinking?
Seeing that he had agreed, Ye Anjing accompanied him to the Shenxu Palace.
Inside the Divine Heat Palace, most of the immortals had already arrived. Upon seeing Ye Anjing enter, they all bowed in greeting.
Ye Anjing is now the Vice-Ruler of the Heavenly Realm. With the Heavenly Emperor absent, she is in charge of ruling the Heavenly Realm.
Few immortals recognized Gu Yanjing, except for the Southern Emperor, who stepped forward, greeted Ye Anjing, and then bowed to Gu Yanjing.
"Your subject, Zha Yang, pays respects to Your Majesty the Vermilion Bird."
Gu Yan glanced at him in surprise, nodded, and told him to get up.
All the immortals' eyes fell on Gu Yanjing, and they all bowed down as well.
Gu Yanjing sat in the spot where the seedlings were, and the seedlings stood behind him.
Zeng Zheyang and Lu Lingjun were his left and right door gods.
In no time at all, the immortals arrived.
Ye Anjing suddenly pointed to a female immortal sitting below and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to say something to Goddess Anyu?"
Gu Yan was surprised: ? ? ?
Is that Anchovy?
Why does it look like this?
"No need." Gu Yanjing withdrew his gaze, pretending that he still knew the other person.
"Indeed, why hasn't Your Majesty brought the Immortal Lingjun back to the Heavenly Realm as well?" Ye Anjing raised a cup of Anyu wine from afar, and then turned around and said something that caught Gu Yan off guard.
A sharp glint appeared in Gu Yan's eyes.
Ye Anjing shut up at the right moment.
The banquet in the Heavenly Realm was also boring, so Gu Yanjing casually found an excuse to go out for some fresh air.
Ye Anjing gave An Yu a wink, and An Yu lowered her head and went out to find Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing hadn't gone far; he was right by the lotus pond outside the Shenxu Palace.
An Yu looked at the bright red figure, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward: "An Yu greets His Majesty the Vermilion Bird."
"Hmm? What is it?" Gu Yan turned around in surprise, his expression unchanged, even somewhat indifferent.
"Your Majesty, does what Your Majesty said still stand?" An Yu looked up at Gu Yanjing's face, momentarily captivated by Zhu Que's beautiful appearance.
This emperor, who ruled over the southern heavens, held a high position and great power. Moreover, his appearance was unparalleled in the celestial realm, attracting the hearts of countless immortals.
An Yu had never been moved by love, but she bit her lip, filled with regret.
"What did I say?" Gu Yanjing curled his lips, but his smile was extremely sarcastic. All the words were stuck in his throat, and he dared not utter another word.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty once said that you wish to marry An Yu." An Yu lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.
