Back on his immortal mountain, the Mirror Immortal Venerable was impeccably dressed, having shed the dust and grime of his thousand years of wandering in the cultivation world, and he was even more radiant than before.
In the words of the Azure Phoenix, "It's going to charm another group of fox spirits and monsters."
"After watching him stay at the Immortal Mountain of Bonds for these past few days, Hongjian should forgive him, right?"
Birds can't think of too many things.
The Bodhi Tree saw through the Azure Phoenix's desire to attend the banquet, but couldn't bear to expose her secret.
His intuition told him that the divine thread binding Yu Jing's hand had broken, and Hong Jian would never want him again.
On the contrary, it was Long Mofei...
To trip up that bastard Yujing, they even resorted to ancient forbidden techniques.
The dragon elders of the Endless Sea wept bitterly, while several dragons, reeking of the sea's stench, stood forlornly guarding the Immortal Mountain of Destiny.
The Bodhi Tree deity believed that Yu Jing was truly out of luck this time.
He was Hongjian's childhood sweetheart, yet he was also the one who betrayed Hongjian's thousand-year wait.
Outside the Immortal Mountain, the Mirror Immortal Venerable ignored the several dragon clan elders before him. This was the third time in the Red Paper series that he and a group of old dragons had been turned away.
He had changed into an indigo scholar's round-necked long gown, and from a distance, he really did look no different from an ordinary scholar.
In my memory, Hongjian liked him wearing this color the most, but he was stubborn at that time and wore white all the time.
In retrospect, while white robes may look dashing, they are useless if they don't win the heart of a beautiful woman.
As soon as the mountain gate barrier opened, a little boy in red walked out. He was a junior disciple of the Goddess Hongjian.
The pretty little girl wasn't intimidated at all; on the contrary, she seemed a little disgusted. "Immortal Mirror, please go back. My master said that once the divine thread is broken, the marriage is over, and you and she will have no future together."
"I want to see her." Yu Jing was unwilling to give up; he really wanted to see her.
People in the spirit world have long lifespans; in the years to come, if there is no red paper...
He dared not think about it.
The boy said, "Flowers bloom and wither, fate arises and fades. The Immortal Venerable is someone who has experienced countless trials and tribulations. He should know that in the Goddess's heart, no matter how many ships compete, she has experienced and seen them, and she can let go of what she has missed."
The implication is clear: once missed, it's missed.
For the Goddess of Red Paper, the thousand years of waiting and protection were simply her way of bringing this relationship to a complete close.
She didn't regret all the effort she had put in on her own.
Now, she simply believes that one shouldn't force things that aren't meant to be.
She was the goddess who brought people together, but the only connection she had made for herself in thousands of years was broken, which can only mean that the bond between them was not strong enough.
If Yu Jing truly feels that she is very important to him, no amount of divine intervention can sever the bond between them.
Inside the barrier, the Goddess of Red Paper looked exhausted. She clearly sensed that she no longer had this person she had longed for for so many years in her heart.
Is she bothered by that alluring little fox?
I finally realized that I wasn't that important to the other person.
Otherwise, how could he allow his red thread to break?
If you think about it carefully, what really hurt the Goddess Hongjian was that their divine bond was broken before Yujing went to the Canglan Continent to undergo tribulation.
She was unwilling to accept it at the time, so she forcibly used her divine power to repair their bond.
Now, the broken red thread, carrying immense backlash, torments her every moment. It protects the ascending Imperial Mirror, while she also endures excruciating pain.
"It will probably take a long time to repair my losses. I'll leave this interesting thing of helping others to cultivate relationships to Little Buddha and Little Buddha Lotus for now."
Her voice was ethereal, and it was unclear who she was speaking to.
Outside the barrier, the little girl remained neither humble nor arrogant, which earned her the admiration of a group of old dragons.
“What the little fairy says is true. Although we are immortals from the spirit realm, we are not immune to having mortal thoughts at times. The Mirror Immortal Venerable must have just ascended from the cultivation world, and some of his mortal habits have not yet changed…”
Old Dragon's words were undoubtedly a knife piercing Yu Jing's heart.
In Zhu Yi's words, the Imperial Mirror Master is like a gentlemanly uncle, who knows how to behave appropriately and is always polite and courteous.
Behind his refined and seemingly friendly exterior lies a forbidden zone in his heart that he doesn't want others to see.
After being turned away by the Goddess of Red Paper three times in a row, he actually returned to his immortal mountain and secluded himself there.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yi couldn't help but sigh, "So, this is why beautiful women's husbands are often not as handsome as you think, and some are even a bit roguish."
"What do you mean?" Su Linyuan asked.
"Exactly, you see, Master is a gentleman, so after the Goddess Hongjian rejected him three times, he really stopped looking for her. But if it were a man with a bit of a roguishness, a bandit-like temperament, being rejected would only fuel his competitive spirit, and he would continue to pursue her, making him more likely to win her heart in the end."
She spoke with absolute certainty, as if it were the truth.
Su Linyuan found it amusing, but also felt that there was some truth to it.
He and Zhu Yi hid secretly in a corner and didn't show themselves.
It's best to avoid these awkward situations between elders.
The little fairy respectfully invited the dragon clan elders into the Immortal Mountain of Bonds, and then, looking left and right, she appeared in a flash in front of Zhu Yi and Su Linyuan.
Feeling a little awkward, Zhu Yi didn't know how to put on her expression.
The little fairy still had a bit of a proud, childlike temper, with her hair tied in two buns and a small red flower on her forehead—she looked incredibly pretty.
"Little Buddhist Cultivator and Little Buddhist Lotus?"
"Mhm." Zhu Yi and Su Linyuan nodded.
"These are for you." The little fairy in red held a pair of meticulously woven red thread rope ornaments in the shape of butterflies. "The Divine Bond that has been lost in the cultivation world is a gift from the Goddess to those destined for the Canglan Continent. And this is a magical artifact personally woven by the Goddess. As for its use..."
The little fairy paused, not saying that this was the Red Paper Goddess's thousand-year-long longing, repeatedly woven into her own wedding gift.
Originally, it was an item used by the Goddess of Red Paper and the Immortal Venerable of Imperial Mirror to preserve their marital vows upon their marriage. Now, it is being given to this perfect couple as a magical artifact for others to use in their union.
"This is so beautiful, how do I use it?" Zhu Yi's eyes lit up as she discovered the treasure.
The little fairy didn't put on airs and said seriously, "A thousand-mile marriage is tied by a single thread. Love and separation, resentment and hatred in the human world are all predestined. It all depends on how Buddha Lotus will connect the human world."
After saying that, she placed the binding thread of the butterfly rope into the hands of Zhu Yi and Su Linyuan respectively, "As for how to use it, it's up to you."
"Oh, by the way, remember to make some hot and sour noodles for our Fairy Mountain. We all love them. Little Lotus shouldn't mind, right?"
The little fairy's eyes shone brightly with an expression of entitlement, as if to say, "You've taken all our good stuff, it wouldn't be right if you didn't cook something delicious for us, would it?"
But I heard that Little Lotus made lots of delicious vegetarian meals for the young monks at White Horse Temple, and they all got fat from eating so much!
Well, how should I put it?
Anyway, Su Linyuan couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm beholden to those who give me gifts! Here you go! And I'll also make extra spicy and extra stinky snail rice noodles, something you've definitely never tried in the spirit world before!"
Goodness, what's it like to be regarded as a super chef by the entire spirit world?
