Chapter 222 The child I raised myself, how could...
"Does Aunt Ryukyou know?" Asagiri asked.
Immortal Lord Chenyi remained silent.
"Didn't you ever think about telling her?"
Immortal Lord Chenyi looked away and gazed into the distance. "Even if I don't say it, Liujing knows what I mean."
He was the one who caused the evil spirit, and he should have been the one to deal with it, but he ended up implicating Senior Brother Chongshi and Senior Sister Lingshuang.
Even Qingyue suffered an undeserved misfortune, and Shuyue almost...
"My sins are so great that I could not atone for them even with ten thousand deaths."
He couldn't let Liu Jing be harmed too. Back then, Liu Jing had already lost half of his cultivation. Everyone in the God Realm knew that the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Empress were at odds, and in recent years he had been dealing with that evil spirit. Liu Jing had already done enough for him.
"Then what can I do?" Asagiri asked.
Immortal Lord Chenyi looked at her and said, "Chaowu, perhaps I should call you Shuyue."
"Just call me Asagiri."
Immortal Lord Chenyi sighed, “Chaowu, you are the true Goddess of the Moon. Although things went wrong back then, your soul has now returned to its rightful place. The glimmer of hope that the Mother Goddess spoke of lies within you. Chaowu, I hope you can help me destroy the evil spirit.”
After being reincarnated, Sugetsu, who should have been in Penglai, returned to the divine realm as Asagiri.
This forced Immortal Lord Chenyi to believe the glimmer of hope that the Mother Goddess had spoken of.
Moreover, Asagiri is the only person to date who has been able to hear the sword's cry of the Wujiu Sword.
Asagiri didn't speak; according to Aunt Ryukyou and Uncle Chenyi's original plan, that was indeed how it should be.
But no one expected that she would ultimately not escape the cruel tricks of fate. In order to prevent the evil spirits from knowing about her existence, they never told anyone about her, nor did they ever visit her.
And coincidentally, the deity of Penglai was away from Penglai at that time.
"Perhaps my fate was predetermined from the very beginning."
When Asagiri said those words, Xiang Bei fell silent. She and the system exchanged a glance and remained silent in tacit agreement.
In a sense, Asagiri's fate was indeed predetermined, but now she has embarked on a completely different path.
She is not the little fairy Asagi who was framed at will, suffered greatly, and was pushed off the God-Slaying Platform.
Her goddess, Asagiri.
Asagiri sighed, feeling a strange sense of relief. According to Xuanwu's plan, her soul would also be reincarnated in the mortal realm, undergoing tribulations with Xuanwu. Finally, when Xuanwu returned to his rightful place, she would return to the divine realm with him.
Fortunately, she didn't end up as Xuanwu had imagined, and fortunately, she found her own divine soul that hadn't yet been reincarnated.
As for Xuanwu mistaking the Lingxi sisters, who have her appearance, for her, Chaowu didn't want to say anything.
They had a disagreement on the day Xuanwu returned to his position, and ever since then, Xuanwu seemed to have held a grudge against her. Asagiri couldn't help but laugh; Xuanwu didn't seem to have anything particularly special about him.
Even the deep affection he displays is very likely an act.
His mouth was more loving than his heart.
It's also possible that he only loves your face; he loves whoever has that face.
Xiang Bei couldn't help but say.
This is the same trope of exchanging tokens of love; whoever has the token, the male lead will love. Something that could be easily exposed with just a few more questions is deliberately left unnoticed until the female lead is completely disheartened.
Let's drag this out until the last chapter, then have a dramatic "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scene, and everyone can make dumplings together.
Looking at the words floating before her eyes, Asagiri wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.
She simply couldn't accept the idea that the dignified Xuanwu God Lord would choose love based on looks.
Asagiri looked at Immortal Lord Chenyi, "Was the person who bound me and threw me into the seal back then also an evil spirit?"
“It was him. My evil spirit was also born from my evil thoughts. He knows everything about everyone I know. In the end, it was I who harmed them.”
Immortal Lord Chenyi's body became transparent in front of the morning mist.
"uncle."
Immortal Lord Chenyi shook his head. "It's alright, I can still hold on. Chaowu, that evil spirit absorbed the demonic energy of the ancient demon race from the Demon-Subduing Seal, and its cultivation is even stronger than we thought. Its goal is to release the ancient demon race and destroy the Three Realms. The Sword of No Blame is a divine sword left behind by the Mother Goddess, and it contains the Mother Goddess's supreme divine power. Chaowu, only you can draw the Sword of No Blame."
"What will you do after the evil spirit is destroyed, Uncle?"
"My time is running out. If I can really see the evil spirits destroyed with my own eyes, I can atone for some of my sins."
"What about Aunt Liujing? Her health has never been very good. I originally thought it was because she used some forbidden technique, and her health has never improved."
“I will tell her, I will…tell her in person.”
Immortal Lord Chenyi looked at Chaowu and a smile appeared on his lips. "Chaowu, I'm counting on you."
Watching Chen Yi Immortal Lord disappear, Chao Wu instantly felt the weight of the burden on her shoulders.
She was a rather special person to Wujiu Sword, but Asagiri herself knew that her current abilities were not enough to draw Wujiu Sword.
"Is it because I haven't undergone the tribulation to become a god-king yet?"
But she had clearly drawn the Wujiu Sword earlier, which shows that she doesn't need to become a god.
What exactly is the reason that the sword can be drawn?
Xiang Bei felt that whether or not the sword could be drawn had little to do with the seal on Chao Wu's body; it could still be drawn when the time was right.
He also turned his head to look at Zi Linglu, who was sitting cross-legged there. It was radiating golden light all over its body and looked dazzling.
Turning her head to look at Asagiri again, her brows furrowed as she pieced together everything she knew, trying to find a breakthrough.
As he walked and pondered, he looked up and saw Xuanwu and "Shuyue" not far away.
Looking at her former face, Asagiri was momentarily dazed.
Many times, she has forgotten what she used to look like.
Even after regaining her memories, she often overlooks the fact that she is the real Shuyue if she doesn't consciously think about it.
Even though the two were acting intimately, Asagiri was completely oblivious.
After severing the love curse, even recalling her past infatuation with Xuanwu didn't stir any emotion in her heart. She simply felt foolish for her past self; she still couldn't understand how she could have fallen so deeply in love with him after just one glance.
During the time she was just a misty veil, even though she had lost her memory, she still fell in love with Xuanwu God when she saw his portrait.
"After thinking it over carefully, I still don't know how I fell in love with Xuanwu. When I was Shuyue, my feelings for him were unclear and inexplicable. It was the same when I was the fairy Chaowu. I only glanced at his portrait and felt very satisfied."
Love makes people blind. Even gods have emotions and desires. Perhaps there was something about Xuanwu that attracted you back then.
Xiang Bei sighed. It wasn't appropriate to tell Chao Wu that back then, the author had arranged for you to fall in love with Xuan Wu at first sight, so you did many things that seem unbelievable now when you look back.
Asagiri smiled and shook her head. "Maybe so. The past me was me, and those were my choices. In the end, I can't deny it. It's just that when I think back on it now, I have a feeling I can't quite describe."
Accept yourself, even your imperfections; you are the best you can be right now.
"Thank you, Xiang Beisanxian. I just feel that love can sometimes be quite terrifying."
When she was Asagiri, everyone said that Lord Xuanwu was deeply in love with Goddess Shuyue. Now, Asagiri feels that he never gave her any response when he was alive, and only showed his deep affection after he died, which seems very strange.
[Late-blooming affection is cheaper than grass. Oh, no, you can't say that. We don't even know if his affection is genuine. After all, if it's true love, how could he not even recognize his own lover?]
Therefore, when Asagiri saw Gengo's tenderness towards "Shuyue", she never felt that Gengo truly loved her, nor was she saddened that Gengo did not recognize her; she only felt somewhat offended.
Xuanwu probably loves anyone who has the appearance of Shuyue.
Asagiri was somewhat relieved that she had evacuated in time, and even more grateful to Xiang Beisanxian for suddenly appearing and enlightening her.
If it weren't for Xiang Bei Sanxian urging her to cultivate, as a little fairy of the Xuanwu Divine Palace, if she were to be involved in their affair, Chaowu intuitively felt that she wouldn't have a good ending.
Staying away from Xuanwu was one of the best things she ever did.
Especially after witnessing firsthand the irrational things Xuanwu did to favor "Shuyue," he lost all sense of right and wrong, causing a huge uproar in the God Realm.
Being able to avoid Xuanwu back then was also a way of severing their past entanglements.
As Asagiri was about to go back, she met Gengo's gaze. She turned and walked in a different direction.
Unexpectedly, Xuanwu walked directly towards her and reached out to stop her.
"Asagiri, what exactly did you do to me?" Gengo asked Asagiri in an unfriendly tone.
He was probably referring to the transpose operator.
Shuyue followed Xuanwu over, standing to the side without getting close, seemingly indifferent.
Asagiri thought that this person should be her younger sister, Lingjin.
A short while later, Lingxi came out. She smiled apologetically at Chaowu, then reached out to take Xuanwu's arm. "Awu, there must be some misunderstanding. Let's go back first."
Xuanwu remained silent, even his gaze towards Chaowu was filled with disgust. Even the woman he loved had been repeatedly hurt by this woman before him.
If he hadn't failed to find out how she had used those despicable methods on him, he would have killed her long ago.
Asagiri looked at Xuanwu, who was always ready to kill her, and thought of those ridiculous rumors. She looked up and met his gaze, asking, "Xuanwu, do you really not recognize me?"
Seeing Asagiri's gaze, Xuanwu paused for a moment, then frowned in disgust and sneered at Asagiri, "What? Does Goddess Asagiri have some thoughts about me too?"
"Oh? It seems the Divine Lord does have some charm over himself. But the Divine Lord should not forget that those female immortals prefer the aloof and detached Xuanwu Divine Lord, not a volatile and unreasonable one!"
"Asagiri, what do you mean by this?"
"So, even the Xuanwu Divine Lord can't understand what's being said? To put it simply, nobody likes an idiot!"
Xuanwu looked at Chaowu and suddenly laughed. He shook off Shuyue's hand and walked towards Chaowu.
He stopped a step away from Asagiri, reaching out to grab Asagiri's chin, but Asagiri grabbed his hand back. "Does the God Lord intend to hit someone in front of everyone?"
"What do you think I want to do? Put away your filthy thoughts. I just want to tell you that in my heart, you are not even worth a finger of Jian Shuyue."
Xuanwu withdrew his hand in disgust.
Asagiri took out a handkerchief and wiped the hand that had been holding Xuanwu down. After wiping it, she threw the handkerchief away as if she had touched something dirty.
Xuanwu was both angry and annoyed, but remembering his purpose, he forced himself to suppress it.
"Tell me, how exactly can I break the curse on me?"
Asagiri shook her head. "It can't be solved."
That was placed there by Xiang Beisanxian. She only knew it was called a conversion talisman, but had no idea how to undo it.
Of course, if Xuanwu doesn't attack her, the transformation talisman will be useless to him.
"lie!"
Xuanwu's tone suddenly changed, and he said with his hands behind his back and a helpless expression, "Chaowu, I know your feelings, but unfortunately, my heart belongs to someone else, and I cannot grant your wish. So, if you are willing to break that curse, I can grant you three conditions, how about it?"
The woman next to Xuanwu rolled her eyes at him, then frowned and her eyes filled with tears.
If you didn't know they were sisters, such a rapid change of expression would truly be considered absolutely brilliant.
Asagiri sighed, then smiled and waved to Gengo, "Alright, since you've said so, come closer, and I'll tell you."
Xuanwu, with an expression that said "I knew it," took a step toward Chaowu.
While he was listening intently to Asagiri speak, Asagiri suddenly swung her arm and slapped Gengo across the face.
"you……"
Asagiri slapped him again with her backhand.
Seeing Xuanwu's angry glare, Chaowu looked at him, pointed to her cheek, and said, "Are you angry? Then hit me back! I promise I won't dodge."
Xuanwu raised his hand, but then, realizing that even if he slapped Chaowu in the face, he would be the one who would suffer in the end, he reluctantly lowered his hand.
Upon seeing this, Asagiri immediately sneered, "Xuanwu, you'd better get rid of your narcissistic habit. Does every woman have to admire you? Your face is bigger than the East Sea. You'd be better off changing your narcissistic stinking habit."
Asagari paused for a moment, then continued, "The thing you mentioned is actually quite easy to untangle. As long as you don't provoke me, everything will be fine. If you insist on provoking me, then you're just asking for trouble."
"Morning mist!"
"Lord Xuanwu, you'd better watch yourself. Go and get your head checked out when you have nothing else to do, and don't come looking for trouble."
"Asagiri, you just wait. Once I break this curse, I will surely grind you to dust."
Asagiri scoffed, "If you're so capable, then grind me to dust right now."
Xuanwu stared at her, remaining silent for a long time.
"My Lord, please make way. You must understand the principle that a good dog doesn't block the way, right?"
Xuanwu God Lord's angry eyes were fixed on Chaowu, but he had no choice but to give her a way out.
But that gaze kept following her; if it weren't for the fear of hurting himself, he would have attacked Asagiri long ago.
Asagiri went straight back to the temple of Lord Ryukyou. She looked at Lord Ryukyou sitting there and walked over.
Thinking of Xuanwu's shameless appearance, Chaowu felt extremely annoyed.
She walked up to Lord Liujing and called out, "Aunt."
Lord Liujing turned to look at her and immediately laughed, "Why are you so angry? Who offended you?"
"It's that Xuanwu again, he's simply insane."
"What did he do to you?"
Asagiri didn't think anything of it at first, but when she saw Ryukyou, she suddenly felt very wronged.
She told Lord Liujing everything that had just happened, “I don’t know what I liked about him before. Now, all I see about him is his bad habits. I wouldn’t even flinch if I slapped him or chopped him twice. I just find him annoying.”
Liujing God-King didn't speak, but simply let Asagiri lean on her knees and listened attentively to Asagiri finish speaking.
Asagi was just venting her feelings, and after saying that, she didn't want to mention Xuanwu anymore. She said in a muffled voice, "Aunt, I remember everything."
"Really? That's a good thing."
"Aunt, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
"Don't say that. If anything, we are the ones who should apologize."
"Aunt, thank you." Asagiri looked at Ryukyou God.
"Silly child, in my heart you are just like my daughter. What mother wouldn't want to protect her child?"
Asagiri reached out and hugged Liujing, unsure of how to bring up Chenyi Immortal Lord's matter.
Since Immortal Lord Chenyi wanted her to talk to her aunt herself, she didn't bring it up.
"Aunt, could you tell me about the past? About my parents, what kind of people they were? I really want to know," Chaowu said, hugging Liujing Shenjun.
She leaned on Liujing's shoulder, as if she had returned to her childhood. Whenever she threw a tantrum, Aunt Liujing would hold her and coax her.
Liujing God-King reached out and stroked Chaowu's hair. "If you want to know, then I'll tell you."
She talked about some things from the past, all of which were very beautiful memories.
"Aunt, if I really burned the spirit yutan and killed Brother Qingyue back then, you would definitely be very disappointed in me, right?"
"No, because I know that Shuyue is a good girl, and she would never do such a thing!" Lord Liujing said firmly.
Asagiri looked up at her, and Liujing also looked at Asagiri. "How could I not understand the nature of the child I raised myself? You and Qingyue have always had a good relationship, and you have always treated Qingyue as your own brother. You would not have been so ruthless to him. Moreover, you didn't have much magic power at the time. Even if Qingyue had been lenient with you, you couldn't have killed him. With so many flaws, how could I not see them?"
Liu Jing Shenjun stroked Chaowu's hair, "Every year I go to see Qingyue, trying to use my magic to find out what that evil spirit said to him before he died, but every time I can't see clearly."
Asagiri remembered some things, but Qingyue didn't say much, only pulling her away from the prison.
"Is your body weak because of the Soul Searching Technique?" Only then did Asagiri understand why Liujing Shenjun was always so weak after visiting Qingyue.
Liujing Shenjun patted Chaowu's hand, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
She and Chen Yi both knew why, but others didn't.
