Sichen Palace.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and bolts of lightning struck with earth-shattering force, so loud that even the celestial beings heard it and came out to watch.
The protective shield set up by the God of Fate was teetering on the baptism of the lightning tribulation, cracking open with countless tiny holes, and looked like it was about to break apart.
However, this was only the first wave of tribulation lightning. Before he could catch his breath, dark clouds gathered outside the palace.
Another bolt of lightning struck, creating a hole in the palace and shattering the protective shield completely.
A ball of true energy condensed around Yun Qing, clearly indicating that she had entered a meditative state. Seeing another thick bolt of lightning heading towards her, Si Ming steeled her heart and stood up to meet it.
"puff--"
A mouthful of blood gushed out; the power of the lightning tribulation was beyond imagination, and Si Ming almost couldn't stand up.
With the system's help, Yun Qing's soul escaped into her sea of consciousness. Seeing Si Ming's miserable state, she clutched her chest in fear.
[System, thank goodness for your idea, otherwise I would be the one coughing up blood.]
"Of course, you're my precious host, so of course I have to ensure your safety."
As he spoke, the second wave of lightning gradually subsided, and by then, Siming was in a terrible state.
His clothes were torn in many places, and tattered strips of cloth hung on his body, revealing his strong muscles.
Yun Qing and the system stared wide-eyed.
"I never expected that Si Ming, who looks so scholarly, would have such a great figure."
The system chuckled: "Have you forgotten? Ling Hua and Xu Qingyun also have such ethereal and otherworldly appearances, yet they still served you very well."
Yun Qing blushed at the teasing and changed the subject, saying, "The tribulation should be completely over by now, right? Can I go back into my body now?"
"Wait a little longer. There should be a third wave. Go out when there are only a few dishes left, otherwise you'll just be giving away food for nothing."
"oh oh."
As soon as he finished speaking, an even more violent lightning tribulation swept in. Siming felt a chill in his heart and took out his life-saving magic weapon—the Kunlun Robe.
This magical artifact is impervious to fire and lightning, and can protect against most types of damage.
Si Ming quickly draped it over his body, then turned and shielded Yun Qing in his arms.
Seeing this, Yun Qing was so moved that she almost cried: "I used to think this person was a busybody and annoying, but I never expected him to be so kind, willing to risk his life to save a little fairy he had never met before."
The system blushed: "Wake up, how do you know he wasn't just lustful? Besides, he had this treasure, yet he didn't take it out sooner. He almost got killed before he remembered. That shows he's not very smart."
Yun Qing nodded upon hearing this: "What you said makes sense. However, I am a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Now that he has saved me, he will be my only friend in the Heavenly Court from now on."
System: The only one? Heh, it'll see what happens when Linghua and Qingyun return.
After the tribulation was completely over, Yun Qing pretended to come back to her senses from her meditation.
"My Lord, how did you get so badly injured? Are you alright?"
Si Ming swallowed the blood in his throat: "Cough cough, I, I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
"That's good." Yun Qing patted her chest. "I thought you were about to die."
Si Ming: Whose daughter is this? Her words are so hurtful.
"Little girl, what is your true form?"
"My true form? You're asking about that? I'm a lotus flower from the Jade Pool. How about that? Can't you tell at a glance?"
"Indeed, there is a bit of that."
"I knew it! But Lord God, I see your injuries are quite serious. Why don't I go find the Medicine Immortal to treat you?"
As she spoke, Yun Qing helped Si Ming into the inner room and laid him down on the bed to rest.
"No need," Si Ming waved his hand. "I'll use my natal magic weapon to go into seclusion for a while; I should be able to recover."
Yun Qing nodded: "Okay, then I'll stay here to prevent anyone from disturbing you."
When Si Ming heard this suggestion, he felt relieved. It was worth risking his life to shield her from the lightning tribulation; this little girl was still very grateful.
the next day.
Si Ming set up a protective barrier in the backyard and then focused on seclusion inside.
Yun Qing took this opportunity to tour the entire Heavenly Court.
With her stunning beauty and the talent to ascend to godhood in just a few hundred years, she became the most sought-after figure in the celestial realm in less than a day.
Yun Qing, carrying a full load of gifts, bid farewell to her new friends: "In a couple of days, I will be hosting a banquet at the Sichen Palace to celebrate my ascension to godhood. You all must come!"
"Don't worry, we're such good friends, I'll definitely be there to support you."
"That's right, we're all on the same side, just don't think we're being noisy."
"I will definitely go to offer my congratulations, but Fairy Yunqing, is that old man Siming not here?"
"Oh right, I forgot about him, and what about that other person? They're not here either, are they?"
Yun Qing didn't quite understand what they were saying, and asked in confusion, "Si Ming Shen Jun is in seclusion, so who is that other person?"
"Medicine Immortal, speak."
"I won't tell you, you tell me."
"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you either."
"If none of you are going to say anything, then I won't either."
Yun Qing was completely bewildered and looked to the other fairy for help, blinking her beautiful big eyes.
Xiao Xian blushed as she was stared at, and immediately abandoned all her worries.
“We’re talking about the Heavenly Emperor and the Azure Cloud Divine Lord. Where the Heavenly Emperor is, Princess Xin Hui will be there, and where Princess Xin Hui is, the Azure Cloud Divine Lord will be there. They’re chasing each other every day, and everyone’s tired of seeing it.”
"So that's how it is!" Yun Qing clapped her hands: "Don't worry, I heard from Siming that they have some business to attend to in the mortal realm and won't be back for a while."
"That's good, Matchmaker. Remember to bring your good wine. We won't leave until we're drunk."
"Do you even need to tell me? What kind of relationship do I have with Fairy Yunqing? I'll definitely use the best wine."
After making arrangements with everyone, Yun Qing skipped back to Sichen Palace. Today had been a very fruitful day.
However, once inside, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten something.
"It's about decorating," the system reminded her in her mind. "Don't you need to decorate your house before inviting guests over?"
"Oh, you're right." Yun Qing suddenly realized.
Although the God of Food will bring dishes, the God of Marriage will bring wine, and the female immortals will bring fruit, she still has to do the decorations herself; it wouldn't be right to set up the venue only after everyone arrives.
