She didn't seem to reject him. Even though she thought he couldn't see her, she didn't hate him or turn away. Instead, she went up to him and talked to him, even telling him that she was willing to bring him something back from every place she went.
Her meaning was clear: she wanted to see him frequently.
So, she also has feelings for me, right?
…
Wan Ge didn't expect to fall asleep. When she woke up, she found herself in a room. The room was nicely decorated, and it seemed that aromatherapy had been lit, filling the room with a faint scent of pear blossoms.
After stepping out of the room, I saw Cang Ci in the courtyard. Cang Ci was sitting in front of a small tea table, brewing tea with extremely skillful technique.
Seemingly sensing that she was awake, he picked up another cup and poured her a cup of tea.
"You're awake. I saw you were asleep, so I brought you back."
Wan Ge sat down opposite him, picked up her teacup, and softly apologized, "I'm sorry, your piano playing is so soothing and comforting that I fell asleep while listening to it."
Wan Ge wasn't lying; that was truly how she felt. It was so comfortable that she fell asleep while listening to it.
"It's alright, you don't need to apologize. Just be comfortable with me. You seem to have no defenses against me." Cang Ci played a piece on purpose, a piece that gave people a sense of peace.
But the fact that the other person fell asleep can only mean one thing: they were not on guard against him, which is why they fell asleep while listening, regardless of where they were or what kind of strangers they were facing.
Wan Ge didn't explicitly state the matter of the red thread, but simply said, "Because I like you very much!"
Cang Ci was also taken aback by the other party's direct confession.
Seeing his reaction, Wan Ge wondered if she had been too direct and might have scared him. So she quickly changed her words and said, "Don't misunderstand, what I meant was that I think you are a kind god, so I like you."
"I see." Cang Ci heard her explanation, but his tone was tinged with disappointment.
Wan Ge, of course, sensed the disappointment in his tone, and instantly realized she might have been overthinking things. Her straightforward confession might only have pleased him. What was there to worry about with him?
…
After finishing her tea, Wan Ge said, "Thank you for the tea, it was very delicious. I'll head back now and visit you again another day."
"Okay," Cang Ci replied softly in his gentle voice.
Then he stood up to see her off, but Wan Ge said there was no need to see her off. Cang Ci then didn't follow her out.
…
Not long after Wange left the Cangci Temple, she encountered her maid on her way home.
The maid looked anxious, but finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her: "Goddess, I've finally found you. Lord of the Underworld has arrived and is waiting for you in your temple."
Wan Ge was somewhat surprised that the other party would come to find her. She nodded and replied that she understood, then hurried back to her temple with her maid.
Sure enough, the Lord of the Underworld was seen arriving in the main hall.
"It's been a long time. I wonder what business the Lord of the Underworld has with me?"
Upon seeing him, the Lord of the Underworld breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he had finally appeared. Hearing her question, the Lord of the Underworld quickly replied, "You don't know, there's a Ghost King in my area who attracted heavenly fire, and now the entire Underworld Palace is being burned down by it. Enough talk, just come with me."
