Once my buttocks heal, I should heed my father's advice and go to Mo Han's house. He needs someone to take care of him right now, and as his betrothed, I should be the one serving him tea and water.
It's decided then and there. I'll go find Mo Han after I recover.
So, I stayed at Feiyu Pavilion for about ten days before preparing to escape.
My older brother and father just returned from elsewhere these past few days, and they've been so busy with all sorts of trivial matters that they haven't had time for me. So they let me enjoy a few carefree days.
During that time, only my second brother visited me a few times.
Father, when my eldest brother was away, he was the busiest, but now he's the one with the most free time. Whenever he has a spare moment, he comes to visit me, giving me no chance to escape.
With that cunning fox around, I, the Ice Phoenix, can only be a little sparrow whose wings haven't fully grown.
If I were in my prime, it wouldn't be difficult to sneak away as long as I didn't confront them head-on. But now, if no one lends me a little spiritual power, I'm afraid I can't even ride a cloud. Is there no god in the world more pathetic than me?
"Master"
I was leaning against the roof of Feiyu Pavilion, lost in thought, when I suddenly heard this sentence above my head, which startled me. I quickly got up and looked up.
"Who's there? Come out... Gu Changzhou, I know it's you, come out now... or else..."
Before I could finish speaking, I felt my foot slip and my body fall uncontrollably downwards.
"Help!" I yelled.
Lu Wei came to see me after helping my second brother with some business. She heard my voice and caught me safely in one leap. What a close call!
"Where did you send Yinzheng and Huazheng? Your Highness has lost her spiritual power and is no different from an ordinary person. It would be better to listen to Young Master and stay in the Spirit Book Pavilion to read books."
"After a few days, I will go to the source of the Floating Pool to seek some opportunities with you; perhaps there will be a way to restore your spiritual power."
Once she grabbed my hand, she started chattering on and on, without asking me why I climbed to the roof or why I suddenly fell from there.
They naturally assumed that I had made an excuse to send Yinzheng and Huazheng away, and that I was just fooling around on the roof by myself. I'm really not cute.
"I'm waiting for Mo Han. I sent him a message, and he said he'll come to pick me up today, really."
I tried to explain, but she just nodded helplessly, showing no intention of believing me at all.
"Heaven and earth bear witness, everything I said is true."
She still didn't believe me, and pretended to be serious.
"Please, Your Highness, move to the Ling Shu Pavilion."
Helpless, I had no choice but to obediently walk towards the Spirit Book Pavilion.
I spent half a day immersed in books, and I was so sleepy that I was practically falling asleep. If Lu Wei hadn't been watching so closely, I would have been asleep long ago.
These books explaining the Great Way are simply a cruel twist of fate, designed to torment me.
They're the same kind of books, but I can read those storybooks for days and nights without blinking. The more I read, the more I want to read, and the more energized I become.
Sometimes I'm incredibly excited, sometimes my blood is boiling, sometimes my heart is breaking, and sometimes I'm weeping uncontrollably.
As the plot unfolds with its twists and turns, my emotions are filled with a myriad of feelings. Unlike these books, no matter how long I read them, I only have one feeling: I'm so sleepy that I just want to find a long, soft bed and get a good night's sleep.
Every time I finish watching it, I feel like I haven't slept in centuries.
I've already ascended to immortality, and gods don't need to sleep.
I'm afraid I'm not a fake deity.
