Nearly three months have passed since Hua and Chu Yu returned from the Hunyuan Secret Realm. During these three months, Qingfeng Shangshen and the others forced Hua to take tonics every day. It wasn't until two days ago, when she had taken too many tonics and even as a god, she couldn't take it and had a nosebleed, that Qingfeng Shangshen and the others finally stopped.
Hua sat listlessly in the empty hall, looking at the treasures she had plundered from God Qingfeng and God Xubing over the past few days. Sigh, Chu Yu isn't here, how boring!
As soon as Chu Yu returned, he went into seclusion. Hua, resting her chin on her hand, wondered when he would emerge. The longest period of seclusion Chu Yu had ever held was a full five hundred years! Of course, Hua wasn't even born then. In Hua's memory, Chu Yu's only two seclusions were both around a hundred years each.
Will it take this long too...?
As Hua was pondering this, a voice urgently came from outside the hall: "Little Hua, I just came out of seclusion and heard Qingfeng and the others say that you were injured?" The owner of the voice was a woman of unparalleled beauty, whose every step she took was full of charm. This was the only female goddess of the God Clan - Goddess Xiyue!
After the war between gods and demons ended and the divine realm closed, the divine realm was jointly ruled by three supreme gods: Qingfeng, Xubing, and Xiyue, until the birth of Chuyu.
The three gods watched Chu Yu and Hua grow up, especially Hua. They truly cared for Hua as their own child, from when she was just a seed until now. They cherished her like the apple of their eye.
So when the goddess Xiyue emerged from seclusion and heard this news, she was extremely anxious. Hua ran forward and, in a coquettish manner, took the goddess Xiyue's arm, "Goddess Xiyue, Liaoliao is alright now."
Xi Yue worriedly used her divine sense to thoroughly examine Hua, and only after confirming that she was alright did she say, "I just came out of seclusion and heard that you were injured. I didn't even have time to ask what happened and who dared to hurt you. Tell me, and I will definitely teach him a lesson for our little Hua!"
The goddess Xiyue looked stern. They'd actually dared to bully Xiaohua! Looks like they've got a death wish!
Hua Hua quickly said, "Who could bully me?! Don't worry!" After Hua Hua finished speaking, she pulled Xi Yue Shangshen down to sit and explained the situation in detail, including the part about Qi Lian.
After listening, the goddess Xiyue said coldly, "She got off too easily. This kind of person doesn't deserve to live!" How could she come up with such a vicious method!
She racked her brains and chimed in, "Who says otherwise? Sigh, it's just that she brought this upon herself!"
Now that the matter was resolved, Goddess Xiyue felt a little relieved. However, she grabbed Hua's hand and said, "Little Hua, are you really alright? Don't hide anything from me if something's wrong!"
Hua smiled helplessly, "I'm really! Really! I'm fine! Didn't you check me out yourself just now? And I've been drinking tonics for three months!" They were all famous rare and precious herbs from the Six Realms, tonics of all kinds. Hua had never known before that tonics could be so varied and bizarre!
"Speaking of taking medicine, you still have the nerve to say that! I heard those little divine servants talking about it on the way here. They said you're the most dishonest when it comes to taking medicine! When Qingfeng Shangshen and the others aren't paying attention, you secretly pour the medicine under that paulownia tree outside the palace. That paulownia tree is supposed to take a thousand years to develop sentience, but you forced it to develop sentience ahead of time!"
After saying that, Goddess Xiyue pointed her finger at Hua's plump forehead. She knew without even thinking that Hua wouldn't obediently take her medicine!
Huahua wasn't embarrassed at all when her little secret was exposed. Instead, she snuggled into the arms of the goddess Xiyue, looking aggrieved. "It's not Liaoliao's fault. It's all because the medicine was so hard to drink. And I was taking my medicine properly the whole time." Huahua nodded her little head.
She wasn't lying; she had been diligently taking her medicine for the past month. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Qingfeng Shangshen and the others were keeping a close eye on her during that time.
Seeing that Hua was now lively and energetic again, Xi Yue didn't bother to dwell on those trivial matters. As long as Hua was alright, that was good. Xi Yue thought for a moment and said, "Hua, Chu Yu is still in seclusion and we don't know when he will come out. Do you want to take this opportunity to learn the Broken Illusion Zither from me?"
Hua thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I will definitely study hard this time and never be lazy again!"
Almost all the gods in the divine realm taught Hua. Hua learned swordsmanship from the god Qingfeng before switching to the zither and learning from the god Xiyue. But she also learned many other things.
In the past, when Hua was cultivating, she always needed Chu Yu and the gods to coax her to learn more. But after this experience, Hua realized that her strength was still too weak. She couldn't even deal with Qing Yi. It was only by working together with Chu Yu that she gained a slight advantage.
Even if Goddess Xiyue doesn't speak this time, Hua plans to go find her after she comes out of seclusion. She wants to learn well this time so that she can protect herself and Chu Yu in the future!
Looking at the little flower, Xi Yue felt both gratified and wistful. She used to hope that the little flower could grow up a bit more, but now that it had grown up, she couldn't bear to part with it!
After that day, she went to the Xiyue Palace of the goddess Xiyue and diligently practiced the Powangqin under her guidance.
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed...
