Chapter Seventeen: A Grand gesture
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, looking at the goddess who had lowered her head as if in a sullen state: "Heh, so what if I said it? Didn't you say you didn't like me?"
Is he being taken back by an ex?
“Your Majesty, it is because An Yu Dang is young and ignorant that An Yu Dang is just shy.” Goddess An Yu looked up again, full of expectation, at the red-robed God Emperor.
But the God Emperor took a step back with an indifferent expression: "This Emperor..."
Gu Yanjing opened his mouth in surprise, about to refuse, when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. A wave of coldness surged through him, and Gu Yanjing froze. Suddenly, he had a thought in his mind. He turned around and saw someone standing on the opposite side of the pool.
When the man saw him looking over, he smiled gently at him and said, "Your Majesty."
Gu Yanjing suddenly remembered the madness of that day, and all the words he was about to say vanished.
Suddenly, I feel a little guilty. Why is that?
"Has Your Majesty found the Goddess Anyu and intends to rekindle your past romance?" In an instant, Lu Lingjun leaped over the pool and stood beside Gu Yanjing.
The chill emanating from him was so intense that it froze the carp swimming around in the pond.
An Yu was born ordinary, just a carp spirit, and was no match for the power of the Ice Phoenix, forced to the point of tears.
Even after being bullied like this, An Yu still stared longingly at Lu Lingjun, refusing to leave: "Lord Lingjun."
There was an obvious hint of surprise in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanjing sneered and took another step back.
He had forgotten that the reason the goddess An Yu rejected him was because of Lu Lingjun.
That Phoenix is trash; it feels like an ice cube when you hug it. What's so good about it?
Thinking of this, Gu Yanjing turned and left.
Lu Lingjun looked somewhat embarrassed. He had originally come to catch his wife cheating, but it seemed he had ended up getting himself into a lot of trouble instead.
Lu Lingjun lifted his foot to follow Gu Yanjing.
But then An Yu stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve tightly: "Immortal, Immortal, An Yu has something to say to you."
Gu Yanjing, who was walking very fast ahead, suddenly stopped and quietly pricked up her ears.
"Let go, I have nothing to say to the goddess." In his haste, Lu Lingjun swept An Yu away with a flick of his sleeve, his spiritual energy surging, forcing An Yu to stumble and fall to the ground.
"Immortal, does the Immortal truly not understand An Yu's feelings? When An Yu rejected His Majesty the Vermilion Bird, it was because she admired the Immortal." Goddess An Yu sat on the ground, her delicate hands were scratched, but she seemed lost in thought.
Lu Lingjun took two steps back again, as if afraid of being scammed.
"You say you admire me, but do you know who I admire?" Lu Lingjun turned around, but the fiery red figure had already disappeared.
An Yu was taken aback by the question, then suddenly remembered something, and her face turned pale instantly.
The news of Lu Lingjun's death caused quite a stir. Even with the Heavenly Emperor's suppression, many immortals still received the news. Otherwise, Gu Yanjing, as the Southern Emperor, wouldn't have been forcibly imprisoned in the Linglong Tower for several days.
Rumors circulated that Lu Lingjun had used the Bewitching Heart Gu refined by the Vermilion Bird Emperor to bewitch His Majesty, making His Majesty completely obedient to him, even to the point of sleeping neck to neck with him.
Finally, His Majesty awoke and, in a fit of rage, executed Lu Lingjun.
"It seems you know. Since you do know, I don't need to say anything more. If you ever appear before His Majesty again, don't blame me for being ruthless." After Lu Lingjun finished speaking, he followed Gu Yanjing's aura.
However, after searching around, he discovered that Gu Yanjing had returned to the human realm.
Lu Lingjun's expression changed as he tried to contact the boundary between the human and other realms, only to discover that Gu Yanjing had actually sealed the entire plane.
He can't get in?
Your Majesty is truly generous.
