A sound of pleasure
Yuanli said, "I haven't forgotten, but when the Star Lord called me out, he told me not to disturb Axun. I thought it was something more important."
"I haven't even started talking about the more important things yet."
Before leaving Yuemang Mountain, Tianshu felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Yuanli in front of him. Now, Yuanli's words and actions made him even more suspicious.
After using his divine power to check the soul in her body, Tianshu concealed his emotions and his anger was unclear.
Yuanli took two steps back, wary and cautious. Perhaps he had already noticed something strange in her body, but his expression remained calm, and he didn't look like he had been discovered.
"Fortunately, your body hasn't been eroded by the resentful miasma yet. If the miasma remains in the body for a long time, it can be fatal to a fragile mortal. I'll come regularly to check on you, just like I did today, and you should be careful too."
"Okay, thank you, Lord Tianshu. By the way, what is the more important thing you want to talk about?"
"When Xie Yuan escaped, Emperor Heng Jin had gone to Wanhua Immortal Mountain and had not yet returned. The Emperor quickly rushed back to pursue him and engage in battle. Unexpectedly, Xie Yuan used a treacherous trick to severely injure Emperor Heng Jin. In less than an hour, Xie Yuan had recovered most of his power. If word of the Emperor's injury were to spread, it would affect military morale and might also arouse suspicions among the immortals and gods in the heavens, so the matter was kept secret."
"It's good that he's not dead. If it's forbidden to be spread outside, why did Tianshu Xingjun come to tell me specifically?"
Tianshu looked at her in disbelief and replied, "Xie Yuan is also seriously injured and won't be causing any trouble for a while. So, the Emperor wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and insisted on coming to Yuemang Mountain to investigate the miasma. I can see that the Emperor is worried about you. He has you in his heart. Only you can persuade him. The Emperor is injured now, and it is really not suitable for him to stay in Yuemang Mountain for long. The Heavenly Realm also needs him."
"He has me in his heart? Oh, Tianshu Xingjun, you and I both know that he only has Liwan Demon Lord in his heart, and there is no extra space for me. He spared my life and treated me well because my transformed appearance looks so much like Liwan Demon Lord. And the reason why my transformed appearance is like a sister to Liwan Demon Lord is probably related to him, right? You are the role model of the gods, the most clever and intelligent. You should understand this better than I think. I enjoy the treatment of a god, receive the rewards of the Heavenly Lord, eat the salary, and be loyal to the Lord. If you want me to flatter him and persuade him, I will do it. Just be frank from now on, don't create superficial illusions to deceive me."
Yuanli's blunt and unvarnished words were sober yet distant and indifferent, making people feel unfamiliar. For a moment, Tianshu didn't know how to explain it and was at a loss for words.
"Ari, why do you think so? Did you hear some rumors again?"
"Rumors spread because they're based on unfounded facts. He loves Li Wan, and only has her in his heart. That's not wrong, but if he insists on treating me as a substitute and forcing me to stay by his side, that's wrong. Before I receive the reward, I'm willing to flatter him, but I also want to make it clear that I won't be able to do so after the fact. Tianshu Xingjun, I'm fortunate to have you as a friend, so I'll be frank with you to save us the trouble of communicating."
Tianshu was speechless and remained silent.
"Don't worry, I will persuade him based on the rewards I want for the tribulation. I will also take care of the second tribulation. When will he come?"
"I don't know. The Emperor is currently recuperating in the Heavenly Lake. I guess he'll descend to the mortal realm as soon as he's done."
"Okay. Does Tianshu Xingjun have anything else to discuss with me? If not, I will go back first, so that Axun won't be unable to find me when he wakes up later."
Tianshu hesitated for a long time before finally asking what was on his mind, "A-Li really likes Cha Suxun? Is it the kind of love between men and women? Is your love for him due to the fate we experienced in this life?"
"Yes, I like Axun very much. I value Axun more than my own life. Our love started ten thousand years ago. This marriage is the icing on the cake, but it is not the origin. What's wrong, Tianshu?"
"Oh, no, it's okay...it's okay."
"Okay, I'll go back first." Yuanli said goodbye and left. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and said to Tianshu, "Tianshu, the evil abyss has appeared in the world, and there are many dangers. You should take good care of yourself."
When she returned to the house, Cha Suxun had already washed and dressed, and was sitting at the table, where a lot of food was placed. Seeing her come back, Cha Suxun didn't ask anything, but just pulled her to sit at the table and put the chopsticks in her hand.
"When did you wake up?"
"A while."
The two of them didn't say anything else until they finished their meal. There was so much food on the table, and he was dressed neatly, so it was obvious that he was already awake when she left.
She knew Cha Suxun's moods too well, so she took the initiative to explain: "I went out to see Tianshu. Why didn't you ask me where I went? Why didn't you tell you?"
"My lady will tell me when she wants to."
Having made the decision, Yuanli simply let go of her concerns and boldly treated him as her husband, enjoying the happiness she had sought all her life.
She teased him, then said sadly, "You're still trying to teach me. You said I wanted to tell you that you're my husband, and every inch of your skin belongs to me. Now it's your turn, why is it different? I'm your wife, and I sneaked out to meet other men alone, but you didn't react at all. I started to suspect that I had some place in your husband's heart after all."
"No, my lady, you have completely taken over my heart. I care about you. I'm so jealous that I want to pull you back and tell you not to secretly see him again. But I also have to give you the basic trust of a couple, right? You are marrying me, but I also have to give you some freedom. Marriage should not be a bondage."
Yuanli moved her own stool closer to him and sat next to him, pouting and shaking her head, "Hmm... I wasn't telling the truth."
"Okay, it's true that I trust you, but I'm selfish, petty, and mean, and I just want to restrain you. I know what he's thinking, so I was very angry when you went to see him without telling me."
"This does sound somewhat true, but there's still something missing..."
Cha Suxun smiled dotingly and helplessly. In fact, he was no longer angry when she teased him.
"Why did you secretly meet another man without telling me? What did he say to you and what did he do?"
"That's it! When you do this, I won't worry that my husband won't love me anymore."
Yuan Li's eyebrows lit up with joy. She threw herself into his arms, hugged him, and explained, "I know I was wrong, my husband. I will tell you in the future and we can discuss it. Tianshu came to tell me that something happened in the heavens. Xie Yuan broke through the formation and escaped. We must be more careful. In addition, whether the mission in the second life is successful or not, there is a solution. When I return, the third life will soon begin. After the three life trials are completed, I can ask for the reward to abolish my godhood and return to the underworld with you. We will never be separated again."
"Well, we will never be apart. My lady, let's go back to Jiwang Valley. The mess here was never meant for us to clean up. If Xie Yuan escapes, the six realms will inevitably be in turmoil. This place is too dangerous. Neither you nor I can afford the risk of failure."
"But we've planned so much, wouldn't it be a waste to just leave like this? Everything we're going through is nothing more than destiny. We should just let it happen naturally and not try to hide. Besides, I still have unfinished business. How about you go back to Jiwang Valley first? Anyway, the heavens still need me and won't sit idly by and watch me die here in vain. Don't worry."
"How can I be at ease? You know that I won't leave if you don't leave. I remember everything you told me. My wife is loyal and righteous, so let's finish it before we leave. I will accompany you in whatever you want to do."
"Alright. Husband, from now on, I will inevitably meet with Tianshu and the others alone due to matters concerning the celestial realm, and I will also hide some things from you due to the mission, but I promise you that I will tell you everything when I can. The me before you will never betray you."
As she spoke the last words, Yuanli met his gaze, her sparkling eyes filled with love and sincerity. It was as if she were making a sincere vow, but also as if she were stating a simple fact.
"Okay. When you see that Heng Jin, the only person you can think of is me."
"Yeah, I swear."
Outside, He Qi knocked on the door and said in an unhappy tone, "Sister, brother-in-law, that annoying guy is here and refuses to leave. He said he has something important to discuss with you."
Hearing that he was coming, Cha Suxun's expression was full of disgust and annoyance. But after Yuanli kissed him gently and said that she loved him the most, his mood turned from gloomy to sunny.
Once you become a mortal, your emotions, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all magnified several times, making it impossible to control yourself, but it is also enjoyable.
Before leaving, Yuanli instructed, "Tianshu is here to deliver intelligence secretly. Hengjin must not know about this. Tianshu just came to see me."
"Well, I didn't have anything to say to him anyway."
As soon as they opened the door, they saw Heng Jin standing outside, staring at their interlocked hands without any hesitation, her face ashen.
"What are you doing here? Performing a trick? It will only arouse Yue Niang and the others' suspicion and cause more trouble."
Heng Jin retorted, "Let's go inside and talk first. Standing here and discussing openly will only arouse suspicion and cause trouble."
Cha Suxun turned around and closed the door of his and Yuanli's room tightly. "It's inconvenient for outsiders to enter my wife and I's room. Let's talk in Heqi's room."
He Qi immediately agreed, "Brother-in-law is right. Let's talk in my room. You can't just go into someone else's room. If you dirty their bed, how are they going to sleep at night? Right?"
As he spoke, He Qi gestured towards his room in a sign of invitation.
After entering the house, Heqi and Cha Suxun directly sandwiched Yuanli to sit between them, not giving Hengjin the chance to sit next to her. They were so stingy that they had a tacit understanding.
Knowing he wasn't welcome, Heng Jin sat down and said directly, "The stone formation has been broken, and Xie Yuan has escaped. The miasma and resentment in Yuemang Mountain are extremely dense, and he's been seriously injured. He'll definitely find a way to absorb the miasma to heal his wounds. Finding Yuemang Mountain would be too easy. So, you'd better evacuate immediately."
