The judge glanced at him, his expression mocking, "Now you know fear?"
"Who's scared?" Feng Ziyi awkwardly touched his nose. "I am, sigh, I just don't want to get lectured by Shu Yun again. She's not that much older than me, but she always acts like an older sister."
"Being older by a day is still a big deal, not to mention that Shu Yun is hundreds of years older than you. You only dare to act so arrogantly in the Four Seas and Eight Deserts because you rely on your childhood friendship with Shu Yun."
Speaking of showing off, Feng Ziyi really is showing off. Although Shu Yun often beats him up, she also protects him. The trouble he caused when he was young that his father couldn't handle, was always resolved by Shu Yun.
"Anyway, whatever you do, don't tell Shu Yun."
The judge waved his hand to shoo him away. This troublesome thing was impossible to work in peace here. "Fine, go back to your Nine Heavens. Don't come to the Underworld to bother us unless it's absolutely necessary."
Feng Ziyi smiled and gave the two a simple bow, then made a magic spell and left the Underworld.
Penglai is a place of outstanding natural beauty, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers together. There are many flowers, plants, and spirits, and the immortals who live here are mostly transformed from flowers, plants, and trees. In fact, if you calculate the area, Penglai is comparable to the Ninth Heaven.
The largest island is naturally the one where Shu Yunju is located, named Penglai. The rest of the territory can only be considered as Penglai's vassal land.
At this moment, Shu Yun was lying sprawled out of bed under the towering double cherry blossom tree outside the palace. Countless pink petals fluttered and danced in the air, layer upon layer of petals covering Shu Yun's red dress, hiding her in the dense petals.
When Pei Ju and the others arrived, there was no one in the hall. Si Ming and Bei Xing Su were familiar with the place. After greeting Zi E, they went to the other islands to find familiar friends.
Pei Ju had no friends in the immortal realm; he only had a handful of people he could talk to. Since Shu Yun wasn't there, he just waited quietly in the hall.
Guests are welcome, but this Pei Ju… Zi'e couldn’t decide whether to send him away.
His relationship with the god can hardly be described as peaceful. What if the god sees that he is in a bad mood later? Should he gently tell him to leave on his own?
She remembered that the goddess had refused to see him when he last came to Penglai, but her dislike for him had lessened considerably compared to when she had just returned from her tribulation ten thousand years ago.
Zi'e's gaze kept lingering on the person who was quietly waiting in the hall.
Compared to all the gods she had ever seen, Pei Ju's appearance and temperament were superior. The love tribulation she experienced with him wasn't too bad. She had also seen some female immortals whose love tribulations were simply unbearable to look at.
Perhaps it is because the people of Penglai are mostly transformed from flowers and plants, and their appearances are mostly those of beautiful women. Even the men are exceptionally good-looking, and their tastes have become discerning.
The thought of the god's tribulation partner being someone with less than good looks made her and Fengxian very uncomfortable. They secretly plotted that if the man's appearance was not up to par, they would endure the lightning tribulation to take care of him and send his soul to the animal realm. They refused to believe that the heavens would arrange for a god to be with a mortal animal.
"Purple Calyx Fairy".
A gentle voice pulled Zi'e out of her own world.
Zi'e blinked. "What?"
Pei Ju stood up and said softly, "Could I take a look around the island?"
Zi'e looked somewhat bewildered. In her opinion, Penglai Island was the same every year, nothing to see. "Look? What's there to see?"
Pei Ju had a bitter smile on his lips, but it vanished in an instant. "I... I've never been to Penglai before."
He was favored by the heavens because of Shu Yun's divine heart, and ascended to immortality with a mortal body. Everyone envied his opportunity and the speed of his ascension. Only he knew that it was this heart that caused a rift between him and Shu Yun.
If he had a choice back in the mortal realm, he would have chosen to die without hesitation. Even if that mortal Pei Ju had died, he would still hold a place in Shu Yun's heart, unlike now.
