Picking Flowers at Huijiao
After a day of burning, Yuanli was awakened by voices from her deep sleep. As she was half asleep, she heard Tianshu's voice from outside the alchemy furnace, saying, "I heard that Taibai Xingjun needs the rare Dream-eating Grass for his elixir. I happened to pick some when I passed by the border of Jizhou. Please accept it, Taibai Xingjun."
"What medicine do you want?"
"Huayu Pill."
The sound of Taibai Jinxing fiddling with bottles and jars suddenly stopped. He muttered in a playful and questioning tone, "Without Li Wan, the devil of chaos, the divine beasts of heaven are useless? Why are they all coming to me for my Huayu Pills..."
"Xingjun, what did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing, just talking to myself. The Huayu Pills were all eaten up by Erlang Shen's Sky-Howling Dog a few days ago..."
Before Taibai Jinxing finished speaking, Yuanli's tiredness disappeared and her eyes widened, and the fire also grew stronger unconsciously.
"Don't worry, little Fireball. You have enough."
Hearing this, Yuanli finally felt relieved.
At this moment, Tianshu outside the furnace was looking at Taibai Jinxing with a worried look. Without the furnace boy, Taibai Jinxing was a little anxious and angry. Could it be that he had gone astray? Now he was speaking kindly to the Samadhi True Fire in the alchemy furnace.
After refining the elixir, Yuanli stopped the fire and scared Tianshu when she came out of the furnace.
The alchemy furnace was filled with a pot of black pills. Taibai Jinxing casually took out a dustpan, filled it with a bunch of pills, and handed it to her, saying, "If it's not enough, find something else to put it in. The whole pot is yours. Remember to give the remaining pills to Tianshu Xingjun."
Yuanli handed the dustpan to Tianshu and said, "We'll each have half." As she spoke, Yuanli tilted her head to look behind Tianshu and asked, "What kind of mount does the Star Lord have?"
"Hun."
"Ash?"
"Exactly. Do you want to take a look, Ari?"
From the herbal medicine loft, Taibai Jinxing's delighted voice rang out, "Ever since the previous Demon Lord's death and the closure of the Guixu Realm, there's only one divine beast like Hun in the heavens. Little Fireball, just feast your eyes. After all, Tianshu Star Lord's Hun hasn't appeared in the heavens in tens of thousands of years."
At this moment, Yuanli had automatically imagined the appearance of the divine beast Hui in her mind. It was like a coal spirit, with a thin body and a pitch-black body, except for its wise eyes that flashed.
All things possess spirits. Consider Chisha, who, in the past, was formed from tiny grains of sand, eventually developing intelligence. She couldn't look down on him just because his true form was dust. She could simply feed him more Nurturing Pills.
When they arrived outside the alchemy room, Taibai Jinxing specially brought all the fairy children and fairy messengers in the fairy palace to show the world. Everyone sat in a circle on the clouds and looked at Tianshu expectantly.
Tianshu cast a spell to summon Hui. As Tianshu's hands moved, the wind whistled, and pale peach-pink petals quickly flew towards him, their fragrance invigorating. Behind Tianshu, shadows rose rapidly, resembling deer. Hui shook his head, and the sound of bells rang out. Hui slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the crowd.
Unlike Yuanli's fantasy of being ugly, Hui looks like a deer, with antlers that bloom, a long tail, the front of the tail like a spirit goat's hoof, and the back like an icy fox's paw.
Its body is covered in silver-white hair mixed with ice-blue hair, and its antlers are like ice crystals condensed from thousands of years ago, like branches growing wildly in spring, with peach-pink flowers blooming on the branches.
A red ribbon was casually wrapped around the antlers, with a golden bell tied to the end of the ribbon. The wind blew it, making it jingle. The red bell looked very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.
Everyone's eyes were riveted on it, unconsciously scrutinizing every inch of its hair. Taibai Jinxing, meanwhile, was already squatting on the ground with a bamboo basket, happily gathering petals. She'd seen that look before, on the day of her wedding with Wen Yici, when the people frantically grabbed the silver.
Yuanli looked up, realizing that a faint barrier had suddenly appeared above her. Looking at Taibai Jinxing, who was distracted by the beast and absorbed in picking up flower petals, Yuanli instantly understood who the barrier's master was.
Hui shrank his figure and became as big as an ordinary tiger. He walked straight towards her with a determined look as if he was locking onto his prey. Seeing this, the fairy boy beside him quietly walked away and sat in the distance.
Hun didn't stop until he was completely in front of her. He blew hard and puffed at the deer's ears, and the bells rang rhythmically with his movements.
She stretched out her hand and stopped in front of it as if to stroke it. Hun shifted her gaze to the palm of her hand. Yuanli felt inexplicably nervous and excited.
From afar, Taibai Jinxing urged, "Good Fireball, stay a little longer so I can pick more flowers."
Yuanli had no time to look back at Taibai Jinxing. Na Hun actually leaned over and lowered its head to gently touch the palm of her hand. The soft touch of its fur made Yuanli so excited that she didn't even dare to breathe deeply for fear of scaring it away.
Seeing it stretch its head out, Yuanli stroked it tentatively twice and then stopped. Hui lowered his head and looked at her. His eyes, as clear as the pure sea, were extremely beautiful. Yuanli was mesmerized by it, and for a moment, she seemed to be sucked into his eyes.
When she came to her senses, only Hun and she were around. Ripples were forming under their feet, and all she could see was the boundless water. Hun was wagging his tail and circling around her, constantly looking at her.
The ripples spread as its hooves touched the ground, and new ripples appeared. It turned three times, its long tail brushing against her body, making her feel itchy. Just as she was completely bewildered, a man's voice came: "You look like her, but you are not her."
The ethereal voice echoed in the virtual world. Just as Yuanli was about to ask, the surrounding scene quickly faded away. In the blink of an eye, she returned to the cloud top of Taibai Jinxing Immortal Mansion.
Hun's head left her palm and shook its head, and a flower from its antler fell down intact. As Hun's eyes moved, the flower floated down freely and landed steadily on the fingertips of her hand.
Then, Hun returned to Tianshu's back and bent his front half towards him. The two looked at each other in silence for a moment. When Tianshu nodded, Hun disappeared into nothingness like smoke.
Taibai Jinxing's eyes sparkled as he surveyed the flower from all angles. He exclaimed, "I'll give you half my storehouse of elixirs in exchange for this flower. How about that?"
Hearing this, Yuanli retracted her hand and carefully protected it in her arms. Taibai Jinxing was willing to spend half of his warehouse's panacea to exchange it for this flower, so it must be a rare thing. He was going to make a fortune, he was going to make a fortune.
Tianshu came over, grabbed the silver bell tied around her waist, put the flower in it, and stood in front of Yuanli.
"Taibai Xingjun, are you being too stingy? Even petals can tell the truth, not to mention that a single intact flower on Hunjiao can regenerate bones and separate souls. You have plenty of old elixirs in your storehouse, and you just picked up half a basket of petals, and now you're only willing to give me half."
Upon hearing this, Yuanli quickly grasped the spiritual silver bell in her hand and shook her head at Taibai Jinxing.
He didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "Youngsters nowadays are hard to deceive. If you don't want to change, then don't change. Thanks to the little fireball, I have lit the furnace and collected the petals. I am so lucky."
"It's getting late today. If the Star Lord has no more elixirs to refine, then I will return home. A gentleman's word is as good as gold. I will come again tomorrow."
"become."
After leaving Taibai Jinxing Immortal Mansion, Yuanli immediately rushed back to the immortal mansion. She called out Xiaobai, who was practicing day and night, from the magic silver bell.
After not seeing it for a few years, Xiaobai's body has become several times thicker, and the two horns on its head have become much more obvious. It can be recognized that it is a white dragon and not an ordinary snake.
Xiaobai wrapped himself around her arm and spit out tongue. Under her dependence, Xiaobai stood up and looked at her with eyes that seemed to be blaming her.
"I asked for something good for you that can help you cultivate, so don't be angry that I haven't seen you for a few years."
Yuanli took out a large porcelain basin from the kitchen, scooped a full basin of Huayu Dan and placed it on the table, saying, "Eat, there's more after you finish." After that, Yuanli touched Xiaobai's horn and went to wash up and rest.
Lying on the couch, Yuanli closed her eyes and saw Hun's appearance and the words it had spoken. Who was she referring to? Worried, Yuanli covered herself with the quilt, all sorts of strange and bizarre thoughts flooding into her mind. She didn't know when she finally fell asleep.
In her light sleep, Yuanli dreamed of someone crawling into her bed and curling up beside her. A cold feeling invaded her, and his fingers rested on her forehead, gently stroking her hair. His cool breath sprayed against her ears, and the feeling was so real.
The next day, Yuanli got up early and rushed to Taibai Jinxing Mansion. As soon as she entered the mansion, she saw two fairy children sitting on a bench and talking excitedly. They didn't even notice that she had walked behind them.
"You've only been in the heavens for 20,000 years, so you're naturally unaware of all the old gossip. I've been in the heavens for 40,000 years. I bet you a hundred years of cultivation that the Emperor will definitely love her."
"Impossible! How could Emperor Heng Jin leave the beautiful Flower Goddess of Heaven and fall in love with her?"
"It's only after she's dead that the Flower Goddess has a chance to get involved. When has the Emperor ever spoken to the Flower Goddess? I've heard from those experienced and experienced immortals that the Emperor has a deep affection for her. When he had a big fight with the Emperor of Heaven, there were even rumors that he was willing to give up his divine status for a Fallen Angel, even if it went against the will of Heaven to stay with her without hesitation, until the end of life and death."
Yuanli stood there in a daze, her strength seemingly drained from her body. Her head felt numb, and she kept mumbling under her breath, "Even if... I become a Fallen Angel and go against the laws of Heaven, will I still be with her until we part, even if we die?"
From afar, Taibai Jinxing roared, "Where are you all piled up for?"
Hearing the sound, the fairy children who had been gossiping scattered and fled, returning to their posts and pretending nothing had happened. The door to the alchemy room was pushed open, and Taibai Xingjun stood at the door and waved to her, saying in a gentle and cheerful tone: "Little Fireball~ It's time to get to work~"
Yuanli agreed and was a little absent-minded while lighting the stove all day. Fortunately, she kept an eye on the temperature at all times and nothing went wrong.
As the night fell and the stars became bright, Yuanli walked out of Taibai Jinxing Mansion with her head lowered, and walked aimlessly forward. In her mind, she could see Wen Yici being tender and affectionate towards another woman.
Suddenly, a large blue bird fell from the sky and landed in front of her. The blue bird looked a little strange, with one eye and one foot, only one wing, and many long feathers on its tail, which was extremely beautiful.
The bluebird climbed up from the ground shakily with the support of one wing, took off from the branch again unsteadily and fell down. Its soft and bright blue feathers were a little gray, as if it had fallen many times.
