"Master, this is the new Cloud Mist Tea of the Small Thousand Worlds." Xu Yin handed over the tea. Cloud Mist Tea is made from the first wisp of mist at the birth of each Small Thousand World. It has a very refreshing taste and offers a chance of realizing the true meaning of the Great Dao. Therefore, even within the Xuantian Sect, the world's foremost sect, this Cloud Mist Tea is a treasure that might not be obtained for a thousand years.
Xu Yin naturally used such a good thing to honor his master.
Shi Miao raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Put it here, Jingyao and I can make tea together later and eat it with the Jade Phoenix Pastry."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xu Yin showing an expression of sadness that was difficult to suppress.
Shi Miao was stunned for a moment, and his smile disappeared like mist. His voice was filled with a hint of melancholy, "Sorry, I forgot. Jing Yao is no longer here."
Ji Jingyao fell under the heavenly tribulation twenty years ago. No one expected that he would be plotted against by the true meaning of the devil when he was overcoming the nine-fold heavenly tribulation.
Although Shi Miao wanted to snatch his soul and send it to reincarnation, she was still too late. Before she could make a move, Ji Jingyao's soul exploded.
She knew in her heart that Ji Jingyao had realized that he was tainted by the demonic path and would inevitably be possessed by another body after reincarnation, becoming a world-destroying demon. He didn't want to make things difficult for her, so he chose to self-destruct. He had clearly said before that if he died, he would die at her hands, so that she would remember him forever. But now, he couldn't bear to let her feel guilty.
After his death, Shi Miao remained calm and composed in public, appearing to be the most reliable leader in the cultivation world, and she never even expressed much grief. Many cultivators believed that she didn't actually love Ji Jingyao, and only gave him the opportunity to stay by her side to influence him. Only those who were very close to Shi Miao knew that she was actually unable to accept the reality of his departure.
Xu Yin's eyes reddened, "Master, the laws of that small world are somewhat incomplete. How about you complete the laws of that world?"
Even in a small world, it's not easy to tinker with the laws. But for Shi Miao, a True Immortal who had survived the Nine Heavenly Tribulations, it was merely a bit tedious, not a difficult task. Xu Yin also wanted to distract his master from dwelling on Ji Jingyao.
He was gone, completely gone. The dead could not be brought back. If she continued to dwell on it, she was worried that her master would develop inner demons.
Shi Miao also knew Xu Yin's good intentions and did not refuse. She curved her eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "Okay."
After Xu Yin left, Shi Miao made himself a cup of cloud tea and drank it slowly.
In fact, she was not as stuck as Xu Yin and the others imagined. She just needed some time to adapt. In the past, Ji Jingyao was like air, quietly and silently occupying every corner of her life.
She would think of him when she drank tea, and when she admired flowers, she would recall the scene of him picking flowers for her...
He is everywhere.
Yes, if she were given time, she would get used to it. She just wasn't used to it yet, not used to the feeling of a hollow hole in her chest. As long as there was something new to fill it, she would soon abandon this belated sadness.
The mist rising from the cloud tea blurred Shi Miao's face, making it impossible to see her expression. The sweet cloud tea turned bitter at this moment.
No, it was her heart that was bitter.
There are so many people around her, why does she feel so lonely?
Shi Miao quickly went to that small world to perfect the laws. Now that she had something to do, she thought less and less about Ji Jingyao.
After perfecting it, she stood alone on the cliff and watched the sunset.
Even though she had seen the sunset countless times, she still thought it was beautiful, with such brilliant colors deeply imprinted in her retina.
She couldn't help but record it.
If Ji Jingyao were still alive, he would definitely like it. He actually likes to do ritualistic things with Shi Miao, such as watching the sunset and admiring the snow.
He is very cute like this, and Shi Miao actually likes him very much, so she cooperates with him as if nothing happened.
When Ji Jingyao's name appeared again, Shi Miao suddenly lost the mood to appreciate the sunset.
It turns out that some seemingly ordinary things become meaningless without that person.
After that, Shi Miao spent a lot of time going down to the cave and explaining Taoism to the younger generation of his disciples.
It seemed that as long as she filled her life with many trivial things, she would be able to forget the memories he once left behind.
Time flew by like a white horse, and gradually, the traces of Ji Jingyao's past disappeared bit by bit. People gradually forgot about the former Demon Lord who almost became Shi Miao's Taoist partner.
Shi Miao is still the gentle and powerful leader of the righteous path, and the white moonlight in the hearts of many cultivators.
After becoming the Taoist Monarch, her spiritual journey did not stop, and she continued to move forward step by step towards the Tao.
Finally, Shi Miao overcame many tribulations and became a Dao Lord without decline or tribulation. Ten thousand years later, she became a Dao Fruit capable of creating a universe.
Shi Miao opened up a new universe, reversed the flow of time, and retrieved many fallen true spirits from the long river of time.
Her disciples, her grand disciples, her mother, her uncles and aunts... all of them had accompanied her for a while. But in the end, none of them stayed with her until the end.
Even though they had left her for many years, Shi Miao could still recognize them at a glance.
Finally, she salvaged Ji Jingyao's fallen soul and sent it to be reincarnated.
She thought that in the new world, she was just a stranger to the reincarnated Ji Jingyao. She also arranged a new path for him that had nothing to do with the devil. He would not, and could not, become the devil again.
