Qiao Qiu glanced at the flowers in her hand, then looked a little embarrassed at the tree from which she had picked them. "Does it hurt?"
The tree leaves brushed against her hand, swayed left and right, and shook off a few gardenias. Then the flowers floated up, flew to Qiao Qiu's face, and landed in her hand.
Xuanlan picked up a flower, smelled it, and laughed, "It doesn't hurt."
"It's good that it doesn't hurt." Qiao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. Then she felt strange. It was just a flower, yet she felt guilty.
Xuanlan looked at her, a warm light appearing in his dark eyes, and smiled, "You feel guilty for picking a flower? I really don't know how you cultivated to the Tribulation Transcending stage and ascended to this level."
Qiao Qiu laughed and said, "You've made a mistake, haven't you?"
Xuanlan hugged her, "It's one thing for you to be confused about this matter, but you're not allowed to be confused about other things, understand?"
"Hmm, you mean when I was in the cultivation world?" Qiao Qiu asked with a smile in her eyes.
"You, you wouldn't really..." Xuan Lan took two steps back, a little nervous, pointing at her and stammering.
Qiao Qiu grasped his slender fingers, rubbed his fingertips, raised an eyebrow, and looked at him, "Do you think I look like him?"
Xuanlan frowned, as if a scene flashed through her mind.
Qiao Qiu's eyes lit up. "Did you remember something?"
When Xuanlan tried to recall the image, it had already vanished. Hearing her words again, he withdrew his finger, his face darkening. "Have you really made a mistake?"
Qiao Qiu looked at her empty fingers and sighed, "I thought you had improved in matters of the heart, but you've already reverted to your old ways after just a few words."
With that, he turned and left.
Xuanlan pulled her back, frowning as she said, "No, something flashed through my mind. I don't know what it was, but it was related to you. You seemed to be a... man, and then there seemed to be another man."
Qiao Qiu stopped and turned to look at him. "Have you remembered something?"
Xuanlan shook his head slightly and looked at her, saying, "I can't remember. Can you tell me what happened?"
Qiao Qiu opened her mouth, but finally decided to tell him, "Okay, I'll tell you. In my previous life, my name was Shen Junbai, and I was a man..."
Qiao Qiu recounted this past event concisely, but Xuan Lan seemed to sense his past self. He could imagine that in his previous life, he must have deeply regretted doubting her and hurting her.
"I never imagined that this period would be so unforgettable for you. What do you remember?" Qiao Qiu asked.
Xuanlan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "There's also a pair of blood-soaked hands."
Qiao Qiu was shocked. So he only remembered it so deeply because he felt guilty?
"Did I... hurt you before?" Xuan Lan didn't know how to ask. It turned out that he had done a lot of terrible things in the past.
"No, it's all in the past," Qiao Qiu denied. "By the way, how do you remember these things? Is your memory returning? What exactly happened?"
“This may have a lot to do with my becoming a god.” Xuanlan suddenly calmed down a lot.
Qiao Qiu looked at his gentle and refined face and said, "Tell me about the general situation of the Upper Immortal Realm, so that I can have some understanding of it."
"good."
Xuanlan then began to explain to Qiao Qiu, bit by bit.
The ranks in the celestial realm are divided into eight stages: Spirit Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Saint Immortal, Immortal Emperor, Immortal Venerable, God King, God Emperor, and God Venerable.
Among them, the Godhood is the most difficult stage to reach. There are only nine Godhoods in the entire Upper Immortal Realm, and he himself is one of them.
Immortals in the Upper Immortal Realm can travel to any cultivation world, but if they do, they are subject to the suppression of their rank and cannot tell anyone where they come from. Otherwise, they will be punished by heavenly lightning upon returning to the Upper Immortal Realm.
All the immortals in the Upper Realm are infertile. Most of them are spirits who cultivated themselves into immortals or ascended from the lower realms. In short, their numbers are not many.
The Upper Immortal Realm is usually lonely because there are very few people, only a few thousand in total. The Immortal Realm is very large, and immortals would be very far apart if they did not live in groups. This is why there are various sects and factions in the Upper Immortal Realm, some of which were originally created by immortals who ascended from the cultivation world.
Qiao Qiu nodded. "No wonder they were so enthusiastic." Maybe Ye Yu's ancestors were among them.
Xuanlan continued, "The Upper Immortal Realm is relatively peaceful because there are too few people. In the lower realms, not a single person can ascend to the upper realm for thousands of years. Therefore, everyone agreed that when they spar with each other, they can only stop when they have just touched the target. They cannot injure the other person's bones or muscles. Otherwise, the injured person will be held responsible for the injured person to the end. And the nine of us, the Divine Venerables, are responsible for supervising the implementation of this agreement."
"So that's how it is. That's wonderful. There's no killing. The Upper Immortal Realm has become a true paradise, where people live like immortals," Qiao Qiu said with a smile.
"We don't need to eat, drink, or relieve ourselves. We could go tens of thousands of years without food or water without any problem, but we still have our appetites. Qiu'er, would you like something to eat?"
Suddenly the topic shifted so far, Qiao Qiu blinked and nodded, "I want to eat barbecue."
"good."
After saying that, Qiao Qiu was taken away by Xuan Lan.
There are also people in the celestial realm who enjoy doing business, and in exchange, they offer celestial stones, which, like spirit stones, are helpful for cultivation.
Qiao Qiu was taken by Xuan Lan to a small shop that sold all kinds of barbecue.
Upon seeing Xuanlan, the owner greeted her warmly, "So it's Xuanlan! Welcome, welcome! Oh, is this the little fairy you've taken a fancy to? Hahaha, this meal is on the house, on the house! Little fairy, what would you like to eat?"
"Besides offal and intestines, what other good food do you have? I'd like to order some." Qiao Qiu was a little confused. What was going on?
Xuanlan introduced, "His name is Wei Ya, one of the Nine Divine Venerables. He usually likes to sell barbecue here."
"Is he a god?" Qiao Qiu looked left and right, but seemed unable to tell.
“He has concealed his cultivation level, and his appearance is not his true form, so it’s normal that you can’t tell,” Xuanlan explained.
Wei Ya laughed and said, "I've never seen you so patient before. You must let me know when you get married."
"You're indispensable." Xuan Lan led Qiao Qiu inside.
There aren't many immortals that I usually like to eat, and there aren't many people in the barbecue restaurant.
Qiao Qiu looked around and found that the barbecue restaurant was quite luxurious. The first floor was for ordering food, and there were several private rooms on the second floor. Outside the private rooms, there were many beautiful views.
Once inside the private room, Qiao Qiu leaned against the window, gazing at the scenery outside.
There are many small courtyards around, clouds are rising and falling in the distance, and there are green trees, beaches, and exotic flowers and plants below. It looks quite beautiful.
She's only finding it novel now; Xuanlan has lived here for tens of thousands of years, and he's probably long since grown tired of it. (For the latest chapters, please visit Tangkexing on your mobile phone.)
