Chapter 25 The Love-Brained God 25: Slaying the Gods
"Lord Dragon God, this is absolutely true; the news came from the Flower Realm..."
Upon hearing the fairy servant's words, the Dragon God suddenly stood up and appeared outside the cave in a flash.
"Lord Dragon God, do you have official business to attend to..."
During the three years that the Dragon God was in seclusion, countless official duties piled up in the Dragon God Palace. The celestial servants could handle some of the trivial matters, but most of the affairs required the Dragon God's personal attention.
Previously, when the Dragon God was in seclusion, they dared not disturb him with such trivial matters. Now that the Dragon God has emerged from seclusion, the celestial servants naturally rushed over to respectfully invite the Dragon God to work.
However, the Dragon God ignored these people completely, his body transforming into golden light as he headed towards the Flower Realm.
Yuan Heng and Cang Yu were rushing towards the Flower Realm, while Jin Xia had already left the Flower Realm with Ye Chao.
Her pretty face was filled with deep panic, and her pink lips opened and closed.
"Stop! Stop it now!"
The power of the Flower Goddess was stripped from her body; in order not to become the Flower Goddess, she was willing to give up the power of the Flower Goddess.
Is this what she wanted?
She didn't want to be the goddess of flowers, but not in such a resolute way. She just... she just...
Jinxia's mind was in turmoil. What frightened her even more was that she only thought about it and didn't say it aloud. If the flower masters insisted on making her the flower goddess, she wasn't unwilling to accept it...
But just now, during the enthronement ceremony, she uncontrollably uttered such resolute words, and even took Ye Chao with her as she left...
Jinxia lowered her head with difficulty, looking at Ye Chao she was holding, her heart filled with intense struggle.
She should have just abandoned Ye Chao.
After all, Ye Chao was a huge problem for her. Not to mention his vindictive nature, even the Empress herself was a huge issue.
Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager despises Xiyin and her three illegitimate children, and the person she hates most is this Second Prince Ye Chao.
Ye Chao's abilities and talents far surpassed those of Crown Prince Ye Hao, which made the Empress Dowager regard Ye Chao as a thorn in her side.
If the Heavenly Empress finds out that Ye Chao encountered trouble during his tribulation, she will be overjoyed. However, if she finds out that she saved Ye Chao, she will definitely cause trouble for her.
The thought of the Empress's majestic appearance made Jinxia tremble with fear.
When she was in the Heavenly Palace, she was just a minor female immortal, and she had heard many things about the Heavenly Empress.
The Heavenly Empress was extremely strict in managing her subordinates. Any female immortal who disobeyed her would be thrown off the Execution Platform. If they dared to resist, they would first be thrown onto the Thunder Platform to suffer forty-nine days of lightning punishment before being thrown off the Execution Platform.
When she was in the Heavenly Palace, Cang Yu told her that the Heavenly Empress was someone who couldn't tolerate any injustice; she had a clear sense of right and wrong and wasn't someone who couldn't distinguish between good and evil.
"Don't think that the Empress is harsh when punishing people. As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. There is also a saying in the human world that a kind person cannot command an army and a righteous person cannot manage wealth. The same applies to managing the Heavenly Palace."
"The Heavenly Emperor is merciful. If the Heavenly Empress were like him, what would become of the entire Heavenly Palace?"
"The Empress Dowager does this for the long-term peace of the Heavenly Palace. If everyone behaves honestly and keeps to their place, the Empress Dowager will not punish people arbitrarily."
"Besides, you're one of my people. No matter what the Empress does, she'll give me face and won't do anything to you."
Recalling what Cang Yu had said, Jin Xia's lips curled up, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
But her smile quickly faded.
She and Cang Yu developed feelings for each other over a thousand years, and she once thought that Cang Yu also liked her.
But later, she discovered that Cang Yu valued the world and its people more than she did. He always kept to his duty, worked diligently, and abandoned her countless times for the sake of the people.
This made Jinxia doubt his love. When Cangyu once again abandoned her for the sake of the world, Jinxia was heartbroken and left the Heavenly Realm.
later……
Later, she met the Demon Lord Yuan Heng. At that time, she did not know that Yuan Heng was the Demon Lord and thought he was just an ordinary little fairy.
He would accompany her on her travels across the world, go to great lengths to make her happy, and protect her when she was in danger.
Although the two didn't spend much time together, Jinxia felt that those times were happier than the thousands of years she spent in the Heavenly Palace.
Later, however, his identity was exposed, and Jinxia learned that he was from the Demon Realm, and was even the renowned Demon Lord.
Thinking of the two of them, Jinxia's eyes dimmed.
She recalled how, after learning Yuan Heng's true identity, she was in unbearable pain and wanted to commit suicide, but Yuan Heng stopped her. He made her his Demon Queen, but she was a fairy, how could she become the Demon Lord's Demon Queen?
Fortunately, the Twelve Flower Masters found her and took her back to the Flower Realm, giving her a place to live.
But now, even that place of refuge is gone.
She is no longer the young master of the Flower Realm, nor can she become the Flower Goddess. From now on, where in the heavens and the earth, in the four seas and eight wastelands, is there a place for her to stay?
Qi Wang, who had left his divine sense on Jinxia, was speechless.
Qi Wang: "???"
Why would her thoughts wander to such an extent? Is this the kind of time to be thinking about such things in such a critical moment?
In just a short while, Jinxia had forgotten about the Empress and Ye Chao. Her heart was filled with love and affection. She had no one to rely on and no one to depend on. From now on, she would only be able to wander the world alone.
"They said they would come immediately after receiving my letter, but it turns out they were lying to me."
"Yuan Heng is like that, and so is Cang Yu. They are all liars, big liars..."
Unbeknownst to her, Jinxia had regained control of her body and could now say everything she couldn't say before.
It took her a long time to react. When she realized she could control her body, her first reaction was to throw Ye Chao away.
After all, she is just a minor female immortal now, and Ye Chao is a hot potato. If she stays in his hands, she will be the one who suffers.
She can't let herself get hurt.
However, for some reason, Ye Chao's body was stuck to her hand, and no matter how she shook him, she couldn't get him off her hand.
Jinxia simply fell from mid-air. She shook her hand forcefully, using all the magic she knew how to use, and finally managed to shake Ye Chao off her hand.
However, Ye Chao had been struck by lightning for so long that his body temperature was frighteningly high. Jin Xia had been holding him for so long that her hands were stuck to Ye Chao's flesh.
She did manage to shake off Ye Chao, but a layer of skin was torn off her hand, and blood gushed down her palm.
Jinxia had lived for over four thousand years and had never suffered such a severe injury. She trembled all over in pain, and tears streamed down her face.
"It hurts so much..."
Jinxia raised her hand, looking at the blood on it. She felt extremely wronged, her lips trembled, and then she began to sob.
In the past, she would never cry so badly; even if she shed just a couple of tears, countless people would come to comfort her and try every possible way to make her happy.
Now that her tears have overflowed and she's crying like this, no one is coming forward to comfort her.
Overwhelmed with grief, Jinxia's knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Xia'er..."
Just as Jinxia was crying her heart out, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from over.
Was it a dream? Otherwise, how could she have heard Cang Yu's voice?
Jinxia was at her most vulnerable when she lost everything. When she suddenly heard the familiar voice, she felt like she had grasped a lifeline.
"Cang Yu..."
She called out weakly, just two simple words, yet they contained all her longing, vulnerability, loneliness, and despair.
She called out a name repeatedly, and it was this familiar call that finally allowed Cang Yu to pinpoint her.
Jinxia looked up and saw Cangyu, dressed in flowing white robes, arriving under the moonlight. Everything overlapped with the moment she first met Cangyu.
At that time, she had just taken human form and was still an innocent and ignorant little fairy. Cang Yu, just like today, came under the moon and appeared in front of her.
At that time, there were no conflicts between them, and Cang Yu had never put the well-being of the world before her.
She really missed him.
Cang Yu's gaze fell on the woman in the pink dress, and he instinctively thought that it was his Jin Xia.
When she called his name, she did not maintain the same coldness and aloofness as before.
Everything seemed just like when the two of them had just confessed their feelings for each other and confirmed their relationship.
Has she changed her mind?
Cang Yu increased its speed and soon landed in front of Jin Xia.
"Xia'er..."
Jinxia could no longer control her emotions. She stood up excitedly and rushed towards Cangyu while crying.
"Cang Yu..."
Thank goodness. She thought everyone in the world had abandoned her. Thank goodness, thank goodness, Cang Yu was still there. She still had a place to belong. Thank goodness…
However, before Jinxia could get close to Cangyu, he suddenly realized that the woman in front of him looked different from the one he remembered.
Having lost the power of the Flower Goddess, Jinxia also lost the beauty bestowed by the Flower Goddess's bloodline. She was still beautiful, but she had lost the captivating charm she once possessed.
Previously, Cang Yu hadn't noticed the change in Jin Xia's appearance because he was seeing his long-lost lover. But when she got closer and he saw her face, Cang Yu knew he had mistaken her for someone else.
He is not Jinxia.
His Jinxia was not such a vulgar woman. Although her magical powers were weak, she was pure and refined, as beautiful as the bright moon, untouched by any dust.
Although the woman in front of him resembled Jinxia in some ways, their temperaments were completely different; she was definitely not his Jinxia.
Jinxia was completely unprepared and was sent flying by Cang Yu's palm strike. She crashed heavily to the ground, rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.
Her internal organs felt like they were about to be shattered by that palm strike. Excruciating pain swept through her entire body, and Jinxia coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Her blood fell to the ground, but the flowers and plants there did not react at all.
Seeing this scene, Cang Yu became even more certain that the woman in front of him was not his lover.
Jinxia is special; her blood possesses a strange power that can make flowers and plants flourish. If it is her heart's blood, it can even transform ordinary flowers and plants into spirits.
Despite the woman vomiting so much blood, the flowers and plants on the ground remained completely unchanged.
She is definitely not Jinxia.
As the supreme Dragon God, Cang Yu had never been so easily fooled. The woman in front of him had somehow heard about her affair with Jin Xia and dared to impersonate Jin Xia to deceive him.
Unforgivable.
Cang Yu suddenly raised his hand, and Jin Xia, who was lying on the ground vomiting blood, was lifted up by his magic. Her neck was tightly gripped, and Jin Xia felt as if her throat was about to be crushed.
"Who are you? Who told you to impersonate Jinxia? Where did you hide Jinxia? Tell me now!"
Jinxia was in extreme pain. She looked helplessly at Cangyu, not understanding why her former lover was treating her this way.
She was Jinxia; how could she have ever deceived him?
