Relying on his childhood friendship with the deity Shu Yun, the usually unruly Feng Ziyi unexpectedly angered Shu Yun and was severely scolded, resulting in a double beating from Shu Yun and Nanpu.
That troublemaker was forbidden from going to Penglai by the High God Shu Yun. Shu Yun also declared that if Feng Ziyi caused trouble in the future, she would not be held responsible and would be punished accordingly.
Those who had been harmed by Feng Ziyi were overjoyed. They had long disliked Feng Ziyi, but since his father was a celestial being from the Ninth Heaven, the chief alchemist, and had good relations with the Underworld and Penglai, and he also had a goddess who was like an older sister to support him, they could only let things slide each time.
Now that their most feared backer has openly spoken out, how could they not be happy?
After Feng Ziyi caused trouble, his red coral, which he had intended to use to make jewelry for his daughter, was stolen. The Dragon King promptly taught Feng Ziyi a lesson and took back his red coral.
After the initial impulse subsided, he was still somewhat nervous, waiting for Penglai's reaction. However, the deity not only wasn't angry, but also specially sent someone to deliver a message of "Well done!" and presented the Dragon King's daughter with many treasures from Penglai as a reward.
Feng Ziyi's father immediately chimed in. He had long wanted to teach this kid a lesson, but the kid was like an eel. Every time he pretended to be stupid and let him go, he would never find him again. Now it would be good to let him suffer a little.
Since then, the gods who had been oppressed by Feng Ziyi under the guise of a fox no longer cared. Whenever a kid dared to misbehave, they not only taught him a lesson but also filed a complaint with the Jade Emperor. Without exception, they all received "praise" from the God of Shuyun.
Feng Ziyi, who had been swaggering around and causing trouble because of his divine status, finally realized that Shu Yun was truly angry with him this time.
He started to restrain himself, running to Penglai every few days, only to be either stopped at the door and not allowed to enter, or told by Zi'e that Shuyun was not there. Who knows if she was not there or just didn't want to talk to him.
Feng Ziyi had been running around for a year without even seeing Shu Yun, and he was feeling frustrated, so he simply returned to the Nine Heavens and locked himself up, no longer going to Penglai.
After staying for a while, he, being the restless person he always was, started wandering around shamelessly again, but without his backer, he became much more restrained in his actions.
Subconsciously, he didn't think of this matter as too serious. He knew that Shu Yun would forgive him sooner or later. With their friendship spanning thousands of years, how could she possibly hold a grudge against him for a mere mortal she had only spent a few years with?
Indeed, that was the case. Even if Shu Yun was angry, she wouldn't really sever all ties with him. However, it was true that Zi E told Feng Ziyi that she wasn't there, and there was no reason for her not wanting to see him.
Shu Yun was furious when she heard from Nanpu that Jiang Yan had lost his memory but had not entered reincarnation, and was later taken away by a demonic cultivator.
No matter how clever Jiang Yan is, it's all empty talk and useless in the face of absolute power. A ghost with no cultivation foundation followed the demonic cultivator, and who knows what it will encounter.
She immediately went to the Underworld to inquire, but the people there knew nothing, only saying that the demonic cultivator's cultivation was low and he was just saying irrelevant things.
Shu Yun simply used illusion magic to conceal her face, withdrew her divine power, and rushed to the Demon Realm to search for people.
The Demon Realm is teeming with demonic cultivators and monsters, and even the immortals never imagined that Shu Yun would care so much about this mortal, to the point that she would search for him for a hundred years in this vast region.
Where is Shu Yun?
Feng Ziyi, holding a wild rabbit by the ear, descended from the auspicious cloud.
Zi'e frowned deeply when she saw him bring those pheasants and rabbits to Penglai again. "The High God has gone to the Demon Realm."
Feng Ziyi tightened her grip on the rabbit's ears. "Why did she go again?"
"Isn't this the trouble you caused?" Zi'e said mercilessly. "If the gods had followed their plan and reincarnated that mortal into a good family early on, this relationship would have been over. But you had to interfere, and now look what's happened, you've caused the gods so much trouble."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Feng Ziyi lacked confidence and muttered in defense, "How was I supposed to know he'd be stupid enough to go with a demonic cultivator?"
Zi'e stepped forward, snatched the rabbit from his hand, put it on the ground, and watched the wild rabbit run away. She said in an unfriendly tone, "You're only a few hundred years younger than our High God, yet you're more troublesome than a newly born spirit from Penglai. When will you stop making the High God clean up your messes?"
Over the years, Zi'e and Feng Ziyi have grown up together. People from Penglai are always protective of their own and will not care about reason. This is the first time Feng Ziyi has been scolded so mercilessly by Zi'e.
"Being a few hundred years younger is still young..."
"What?!" Zi'e's voice suddenly rose, looking at Feng Ziyi who was stubbornly turning his head away, and said helplessly, "Forget it, you've been like this for more than a year or two."
She just hoped that the gods could find that mortal soon, alive or dead, so that Shu Yun could finally stop. There were only empty rumors all along, and she wondered when it would ever end.
For a century, the Demon Realm and the Nine Heavens coexisted peacefully, at least on the surface.
The Jade Emperor looked at the messages sent back by the spies planted in the Demon Realm by the Nine Heavens. They were fragmented and miscellaneous. Normally, he would just glance at them and move on, but today he pondered over a few of the messages for a long time.
Firstly, there are frequent rumors about magical beasts in the main city of the Demon Realm. It is said that the demon cultivators or demons living in the main city have heard similar beast cries.
Actually, this is not worth noting in the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm is inhabited by many demons, whose true forms can be ever-changing beasts, so beast cries are not unusual.
But the Jade Emperor recalled the changes that began in the Demon Realm's main city several years ago. For example, the main city gradually closed off, making it increasingly difficult for his spies to gather information from inside. Even the spies who had been deeply rooted in the main city were purged.
He couldn't help but wonder what was happening in the main city. It was probably a change of power. The demon realm followed the law of the jungle, so changes in power were not surprising. What was strange was that this was the first time the main city had been thoroughly investigated and the cleanup was so complete that not a single one of his men had managed to infiltrate.
The Demon Realm and the Nine Heavens have a long-standing feud. From the rulers to ordinary immortals and demons, they can't stand each other. Fights and deaths at the border are commonplace.
However, two years ago, the demon realm took the initiative to retreat a mile. It seems that those demons have reached some kind of consensus that unless the Nine Heavens take the initiative to provoke trouble, they will no longer take action. Such a situation is naturally unusual when it comes to irritable demons.
But with his spies wiped out, he was blind and couldn't make any assumptions out of thin air.
The storm is brewing, and I wonder what those demons are up to. The two realms have been at peace for so long; I just hope this isn't the calm before the storm.
Things often don't go as people expect; what you fear most often comes to pass.
