A palace in pure white.
Inside, the dim, yellowish light of ancient candles created an ambiguous atmosphere, while outside, a cold and mysterious blue-purple glow illuminated the space.
Jiang Fei's hand remained on Rong Li's chest as she looked at Lian Jia at the door.
However, after only a hundred days apart, the young man seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
He wore a jade-white hooded robe, the wide hood covering his eyebrows and eyes, revealing only his slightly tired face and a few strands of hair on his forehead.
"Let go!" Rong Li finally broke the silence with a resentful word squeezed out through gritted teeth.
Jiang Fei snapped out of her daze, glanced at Rong Li's barely visible honey-colored skin, then at the jade-like young man at the door, and was caught in a dilemma.
Finally, she came up with a compromise and said to Lianjia, "Why don't you go outside and wait for a moment?" She paused and added, "It will be done in a little while."
These words made Rong Li's eyes blaze with anger, and even the divine light emanating from Lian Jia trembled.
Jiang Fei felt that his idea was excellent, and with a flick of his sleeve, he was about to close the palace gate.
Lian Jia stepped forward almost immediately: "Jiang Fei."
His voice was deep and resonant.
This was the first time in the hundreds of years they had spent together on the sacred mountain that he had called her by her full name.
Jiang Fei felt a sense of novelty and turned to look at him.
But she paused when she met his gaze.
It was just like the look in his eyes when she first asked him to take a medicinal bath, and he mistakenly thought she was harming him: like a deer, helpless, deep and accusing.
The innocent little deer of yesteryear has now lost its purity and acquired a touch of budding magnificence.
It's still very tempting.
Jiang Fei hesitated for a moment.
Lianjia remained silent for a while before reaching out to remove the robe and hat from her head.
Only then did Jiang Fei notice that Lian Jia's hair had grown considerably in just a hundred days, and it was tied into a high ponytail on top of her head, adorned with a jade-white hair ribbon, just like the first flower bud sprouting from the tip of a peach branch.
Jiang Fei glanced at Rong Li again, and had to admit, she wavered.
“I will grow my hair out,” Lian Jia said calmly.
Jiang Fei began to think seriously.
Lianjia was the one she had chosen, the best candidate to continue her bloodline.
Lianjia's talent and aptitude are both top-notch.
Once Lianjia's hair grew back and the joint cultivation was completed, she would have been able to put her mind at ease.
Most importantly... Lianjia is truly beautiful.
In the end, Jiang Fei broke Rong Li's immobilization spell, watching him angrily and hatefully put on his clothes, and then transform into a beam of golden phoenix light and disappear into the palace.
Then she turned around and walked up to Lian Jia, tugging at his ponytail: "Little monk, not shaving your head?"
Lianjia's lips moved, but she only asked, "Why seal off your divine sense?"
Jiang Fei frowned, then understood after a moment: "They went to look for me?"
Lianjia remained silent.
Jiang Fei didn't ask any more questions. She ran her fingers along his eyebrows and then down to his cheek: "You looked so good, but you've made you so tired."
"Take a nice medicinal bath and wait for me in the room."
After saying that, she turned and left without stopping.
After the medicinal bath, Lian Jia's complexion returned to normal, and Jiang Fei's emotions also returned to normal.
That night marked the first time in a hundred days that the two had shared a bed.
Jiang Fei didn't care. Seeing Lian Jia's stunningly beautiful features as always, he forgot his previous displeasure and lazily leaned against his chest: "You've ruined my plans, so you'd better make amends..."
She was just teasing him, but she didn't expect that the moment her hand touched Lian Jia's chest, his lower body would uncontrollably transform into a dragon tail.
soon.
Jiang Fei paused for a moment, then looked at Lian Jia.
Lian Jia looked flustered and quickly tried to retract the dragon's tail, but before he could move, Jiang Fei had already grabbed the dragon's tail and looked at him lazily: "Little monk, it's only been a hundred days, what's wrong with you...? Have you been holding back for too long?"
The dragon's tail swayed a few times in her hand, as if trying to break free from her control, causing the candlelight in the hall to flicker and the divine energy to surge. The dark blue divine light was actually quite beautiful.
Jiang Fei smiled and glanced at the white jade pillow she had slept on for thousands of years, preparing to change to a softer "pillow".
That night, Jiang Fei slept with Lian Jia's dragon tail as his pillow.
Lianjia, however, remained stiff and sleepless all night.
For the next period of time, Jiang Fei and Lian Jia got along quite well.
Lianjia will continue to cultivate his magic, even though he is now powerful enough to be the ruler of all gods and demons in the six realms.
When Jiang Fei had nothing to do, he would drink wine while resting his head on the dragon's tail.
After all, the dragon's tail is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is also very soft. The scales of the ancient dragon also have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.
Apart from "Big Dragon" looking at her resentfully, everything else was fine.
When drunk, the wine leaves a lingering fragrance on your teeth; when you wake up, you see a stunningly beautiful woman.
Jiang Fei was very happy.
Rong Li, the young prince of the Phoenix Clan, appeared once, claiming that in addition to seeking justice for his junior sister, he also wanted to avenge the "humiliation" but to no avail. The ancient sacred mountain remained peaceful throughout.
Lianjia's hair had grown quite a bit, and her ponytail was a hand's length long.
However, one day, when Lian Jia returned from his cultivation, Jiang Fei, as usual, was about to rest his head on his dragon tail and drink wine when he smelled a strong stench of blood on him.
The smell of blood was the same as the one she had smelled when she first visited the Dragon Clan.
—The taste of the blood of the dragon, unique to the dragon race.
Jiang Fei didn't say much, only telling Lian Jia to wash up and come back with a look of disdain.
Lianjia was unusually obedient that night.
As night fell and the surrounding trees shimmered with a bluish-purple glow, Jiang Fei asked him only one question: "How long are you going to be gone?"
Lianjia did not respond, but said before dawn, "I will return and keep my promise."
The next day, Lianjia left.
Jiang Fei knew very well that he was going to seek revenge.
Ultimately, he will have to avenge himself.
But Jiang Fei's life suddenly became rather boring.
Just when she was at her most bored, Rong Li came to "take revenge" again.
Hearing that his junior sister, the girl on the other end of Lianjia's marriage line, was going to undergo a tribulation and was still thinking about "Brother Lianjia" before the tribulation, Rong Li felt sorry for her and went to her mountain gate again.
Jiang Fei didn't care why he came to see her; as long as it helped her pass the time, she was happy to accept it.
Rong Li's assassination attempt was perfectly aboveboard. He thrust his long sword straight at her, saying as he did so, "You have defied the laws of Heaven, severing the bonds of marriage ordained by Heaven, which has already displeased the Six Realms. Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Fei snatched the longsword away, deftly twirled it, and placed it against Rong Li's neck.
Rong Li's features remained sexy... and reckless, staring intently at her: "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"
Jiang Fei raised an eyebrow, lightly lifted his chin with the tip of his sword, and said slowly, "You want to kill the young prince? I'm actually a little reluctant."
Rong Li glared at her with a look of "humiliation": "Do you really think you're invincible in the Six Realms? Do you think everyone in the Six Realms respects and reveres you? A frivolous and dissolute person like you will one day..."
Jiang Fei interrupted him with a smile, and then picked up where he left off: "One day, you will drink my blood, eat my flesh, gnaw on my bones, and let me vanish into the six realms?"
Rong Li was stunned, seemingly not expecting her to say that, and stared at her before finally falling silent.
Jiang Fei simply tossed the longsword aside and clapped his hands: "Little Crown Prince, if you don't cultivate your magic properly, I'm afraid the Phoenix Clan will be destroyed in your hands."
His magic was considered quite good even in the divine realm, but unfortunately, the person he wanted to kill was her, so his magic was really nothing special.
Rong Li left with a grim expression.
Jiang Fei glanced at the lingering golden light as he left and smiled lazily.
She knew, of course, that while the Six Realms outwardly showed her respect and reverence, the underlying reason was fear.
She single-handedly fought against the six realms; it would be a miracle if they weren't afraid of her.
But faced with absolute power, she didn't need to take their fear seriously.
However, the righteous young prince of the Phoenix Clan did not think so, and since that day, assassination attempts have occurred repeatedly.
Or perhaps, as Jiang Fei leaned against a tree branch, someone pierced through the peach branch she was leaning against with a sword.
Or perhaps she noticed that the wine jar had been poisoned while she was drinking it.
Or perhaps some enormous monster was placed on her sacred mountain.
...
Jiang Fei solved it very easily.
However, Rong Li repeatedly attacked and failed, but he attacked again and again, and this stalemate lasted for more than ten years. He was truly persistent.
Jiang Fei's boring life was greatly amused.
—A handsome and sexy man would go to great lengths to get close to her every now and then, which was incredibly touching.
Therefore, moved by his actions, Jiang Fei would also take the initiative to teach Rong Li some spells so that he could better assassinate him.
For example, she grabbed his hand that was stabbing her and tenderly told him that her Achilles' heel was her heart.
Unfortunately, the protective divine light prevented him from even getting close to his own heart, let alone piercing it.
For example, she stroked his face and admonished him that he was too impetuous. He should calm his mind and spirit in order to release the power of the Dharma and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Rong Li, however, always appeared indignant, as if he had been "humiliated," and shook off her hand.
For example, she told him that poisoning her was incredibly stupid, since her divine body could refine the most potent poisons of the six realms.
But Rong Li still poisoned her favorite wine every time, and he enjoyed doing it.
In fact... he came more and more frequently.
In the past, it would come once every few months, then once a month, and recently it has come three or four times a month.
Only once, after drinking a cup of obviously poisoned wine that wouldn't harm her, Jiang Fei, seeing Rong Li suddenly appear to kill her, helplessly slipped behind him, grabbed his hand, and taught him how to assassinate her, move by move.
With a beautiful woman in his arms, Jiang Fei couldn't help but feel a little distracted. After teaching for a while, he took the initiative to suggest, "How about next time I stand there and let you stab me?" She wouldn't get hurt anyway.
Rong Li's already stiff body stiffened even more upon hearing this. Just as he was about to retort, he turned his head and saw the woman whispering beside his cheek. Her eyebrows were high and mighty, her charming eyes were full of affection and laughter, and he could even feel her soft, ambiguous breathing near his ear.
Rong Li froze for a moment, then quickly pushed Jiang Fei away, stared at her for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence: "Dissolute and unrestrained!" He turned around and disappeared quickly outside the Holy Mountain.
Jiang Fei smiled slightly, seemingly unconcerned.
This time, Rong Li disappeared for a full six months.
Jiang Fei regretted countless times that she should have been more reserved that day, lest she scare the woman away. Now, the beauty is gone, and on this vast sacred mountain, apart from the silent dragon, she is the only one who is bored.
However, Jiang Fei did not expect that they would meet again so soon.
A crack appeared in the divine veins of the divine realm, causing quite a commotion.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fei, who had nothing better to do, made a special trip, only to discover that the place where the divine vein had cracked was the Phoenix Clan.
The young prince of the Phoenix Clan used his body as a halberd to suppress the severed divine vein. However, the divine vein was powerful, and after only a few days, it trembled again. It was clear that the power of the divine vein was about to tear the young prince of the Phoenix Clan in two.
At the critical moment, Jiang Fei stepped forward to block the devastating power of the divine vein, and it took him nearly half a day to reconnect the severed divine vein.
However, the power of the divine vein was too great, and it ultimately injured many minor gods with low magical abilities in the surrounding area.
When Jiang Fei flew out of the divine vein, he was met with the gazes of all the gods.
There was gratitude, astonishment, but mostly fear.
They stared in fear at the woman who, single-handedly, held the fate of the divine realm in her hands.
They even made way for each other, their figures showing a cautious retreat.
Jiang Fei was already used to this kind of gaze. She simply lowered her eyes slightly and immediately saw a handsome man in the clouds.
Jiang Fei smiled at him, and the handsome man blushed.
Jiang Fei's eyes brightened slightly. Realizing she had been too plain for too long, she was about to fly forward and ask the man's name when Rong Li, dressed in golden armor, appeared and coldly waved the handsome man away.
Jiang Fei glanced longingly at the handsome man before turning to Rong Li: "Young Crown Prince, it's been a long time."
Rong Li pursed her lips, her face somewhat cold, and after a long while, she said, "You saved me."
Jiang Fei corrected him: "It's not about saving you, it's about saving the divine veins."
Rong Li remained silent for a long time before saying, "I am not an ungrateful person; I will repay you."
Jiang Fei quickly changed her tune: "That's right, I saved you."
Rong Li looked at her without speaking, but her lips curved into a quick smile.
Jiang Feizai pondered carefully for a long time, then his eyes lit up: "If you want to repay me, then become a divine guard until I am satisfied."
Those who wanted to kill her are now protecting her.
Just thinking about it is exciting.
After a long silence, Rong Li finally agreed.
Jiang Fei leaned closer to him, half-jokingly, and said, "Young Crown Prince, you agreed so easily. Are you perhaps planning to kill me while I'm off guard?"
Rong Li frowned.
Jiang Fei continued, "Or... does the young prince want to go to my sect?"
Rong Li stared straight at her for a while, then quickly pushed her away.
After that, Jiang Fei heard that Rong Li had drunk a lot of wine and, after being cooped up in the Phoenix Clan for a full hundred days, went to her sacred mountain.
Having a sexy divine guard is quite convenient. Whenever something happens in the Six Realms, Jiang Fei will have him handle it. Even when there's nothing to do, he can just sit aside and be admired.
Rong Li never killed her again, but whenever he faced her deliberate teasing, he would put on an indignant and chaste appearance, wishing he could get rid of her as soon as possible but unable to do so, which made her want to do something to him even more.
The boring days passed by quickly.
More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Fei noticed that Rong Li had been somewhat absent-minded lately, often staring at her silently while listening to her speak.
Sometimes they'll suddenly ask, "Who is Lianjia to you?"
Jiang Fei thought about it carefully, and the most accurate relationship between her and Lian Jia was: "...the biological father of my future daughter".
It has nothing to do with her; it's just a matter of continuing her bloodline.
Rong Li pursed her lips and remained silent.
Over the years, Jiang Fei would occasionally venture out of the sacred mountain to fetch some fine wine.
On this day, as she was preparing to go to the intersection of the divine realm and the immortal realm to retrieve a jar of peach blossom wine, she heard a rumor.
—The new Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Dragon Clan met with misfortune, and many of the Divine Guards also mysteriously disappeared overnight.
Jiang Fei returned to the sacred mountain, looked at the silent Rong Li, and asked him, "Did you already know about this?"
Rong Li nodded.
Jiang Fei scoffed, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Rong Li lowered his head and remained silent.
Jiang Fei didn't pay any attention, but he became visibly excited.
Rumor has it that Lianjia has already taken his revenge.
By now, his hair should have grown back quite a bit.
The innocent boy from back then must be even more handsome now.
The timing was perfect.
The day news of Lenjah arrived was exactly fifty years after Lenjah left.
Jiang Fei got up to leave the Holy Mountain, but when she opened the palace gate, she saw Rong Li standing expressionlessly at the door. He was looking at her for a while before inexplicably saying, "Junior Sister has returned from her tribulation."
Jiang Fei, puzzled, said in a rare display of good temper, "Then you don't need to protect me today. You're allowed to rest for a day."
Rong Li stared at her for a moment with a gloomy expression, then asked, "Where are you going?"
Jiang Fei finally lowered her eyes and looked at him directly: "Young Prince, you have asked quite a few questions today."
Rong Li paused for a moment, then left in a somber mood.
But Jiang Fei quickly understood what Rong Li meant by those words.
In the realm of gods, she saw Lian Jia, and also saw Yun Yan, who had just returned from her tribulation, beside Lian Jia.
This was the "golden couple" whose marriage had been severed by her.
Lian Jia had indeed become even more beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes as magnificent as the most enchanting bright moon in ten thousand years, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, and her white robes fluttering in the divine light.
Although he still retains some youthful energy, the cool and aloof demeanor in his eyes cannot be ignored.
Although he appeared indifferent when facing Yun Yan, Jiang Fei's brow still twitched involuntarily after hearing Yun Yan say "Thank you, Brother Lianjia."
She randomly grabbed one of the onlookers and asked, "What happened between those two?"
The little god said, "When Goddess Yunyan descended to the mortal realm to undergo five tribulations, she was struck by lightning upon her return. That young man helped Goddess Yunyan bear the calamity."
Oh, I see.
Jiang Fei smiled slightly.
Back then, the old man told her that the way of Heaven cannot be defied.
She was arrogant about her innate magical powers and divine body, and didn't take it seriously.
Looking back now, I realize that the old man's words made some sense.
All beings in the six realms face their own tribulations, some great, some small, some minor, some severe.
Even she was not immune.
Now, the little monk she raised has helped another goddess overcome her tribulation.
"God... Goddess?" The minor god recognized her and his surprised voice rang out, startling the surrounding gods.
Jiang Fei snapped out of her daze and immediately noticed Lian Jia looking at her in a flustered manner not far away.
Jiang Fei paused, suddenly wanting to figure out whether she liked the face or the bloodline.
She smiled and flew to Lianjia's side.
Lianjia was also looking at her.
Jiang Fei asked, "You're back?" "Yes."
Jiang Fei looked at Yun Yan beside him and smiled, "I heard that you even helped her overcome a tribulation?"
Lian Jia hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
Jiang Fei leaned closer to him and said ambiguously, "Little monk, when you return to the Holy Mountain, do me a favor too."
Help her find a handsome young lover.
