The moon was bright, the wind was gentle, and green smoke was curling. Yu Ji was sitting in the courtyard in a lotus dress, staring intently at the blooming Epiphyllum in front of her.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew into the courtyard. Yu Ji's watery eyes flashed, and she suddenly smelled a familiar scent.
She stood up suddenly and turned to look behind her.
The wind died down and a tall figure gradually appeared in front of Yu Ji.
Yu Ji was shocked when she saw the person coming. She covered her mouth lightly and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty?"
The complexion of King Chongshou was extremely bad. After losing his head, his strength was greatly reduced.
"Why are you here? You look... I'll go get you an elixir." Yu Ji said hurriedly.
The King of Chongshou waved his hand and said, "Wuxiang is dead, his body and soul are annihilated."
Yu Ji's body trembled upon hearing this, and she looked at King Chongshou in astonishment. After a brief silence, Yu Ji asked in a trembling voice, "How...did he die?"
"She died at the hands of Jiang Siyin. That woman is extremely powerful now. With the Tianyaoqin in her hand, I'm afraid she has reached the peak of the true fairyland." King Chongshou said this with an extremely melancholy tone.
Yu Ji also sighed deeply, and then asked King Chongshou: "Then your Majesty, please come here now..."
The King of Chongshou said, "I am here to see you off."
"Send me away?" Yu Ji was a little confused: "Where to?"
Chongshou said, "Go north or west. We can't stay in Xihuazhou anymore. Wuxiang once tried to assassinate the God of Duanjie Mountain. I don't know if Fangjian knows about this, but if he does, even if Wuxiang is dead, Mingyue Cave will be destroyed. I originally wanted to take you back to Chaohe Cave, but with Jiang Siyin here, Chaohe Cave is not safe either. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful one day, I'll die at Jiang Siyin's hands. So I want to send you away before that happens."
Upon hearing this, Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, then she said softly, "I deeply appreciate your love and care, Your Majesty. However... I will not leave the Mingyue Cave Demon Residence."
"You..." King Chongshou looked at Yu Ji in astonishment, feeling a little angry. "Could it be that you really have fallen in love with Wuxiang? In just a few days?"
Yu Ji shook her head and said, "That's not the case, my king. Do you know how the people in Mingyue Cave treat me? They all call me Grandmother."
"Your Majesty, it is not my destiny to become an immortal in this life. I just want to preserve my reputation." Yu Ji said with a sad face.
When King Chongshou heard this, he could not help but sigh and shook his head. In the end, he said nothing, but just said lightly: "Okay, then I won't force it."
After saying this, King Chongshou turned into a breeze and left silently.
After King Chongshou left, Yu Ji stood there in a daze for a long time. Finally, she turned around and found that the night-blooming cereus had withered.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out from outside the yard: "Is Grandmother here?"
Yu Ji immediately recognized Lan Shaojun's voice. She adjusted her mood and then replied softly, "Yes."
Lan Shaojun said in a low voice, "Grandmother, I have something to report."
Yu Ji had a pretty good impression of Lan Shaojun. The eldest prince chosen by Wu Xiang was indeed someone who could lead the tribe. No matter how dissatisfied he was with Yu Ji marrying into Mingyue Cave, since she was the wife that the ancestor had married by destiny, he still had to give her the respect she deserved.
"Come in and talk." Yu Ji said.
Then, Lan Shaojun, dressed in feathered robes, walked in. However, he had a sad face and walked forward with tears in his eyes. When Yu Ji saw him like this, she realized that he also knew the news of Master Wuxiang's death.
Sure enough, Lan Shaojun suddenly fell to the ground and said with great sorrow, "Grandmother, our ancestor... has passed away."
...
Empress Wenlin brought Fang Jian not only news about the birth register, but also matters concerning the various demon palaces in Xihua Prefecture.
"The Grand Envoy has advised Your Majesty that only the main culprit should be punished in this matter and that too many people should not be implicated. Master Lingxu, Lord Kusheng, and Lord Cuihua should be executed. The other nine cave demon lords who should be punished have already died. As for the rest, as long as they don't cause trouble again, we will not pursue them." Empress Wenlin said.
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Great Lord, please have mercy."
Empress Wenlin smiled upon hearing this, then added, "But there was also a strange thing. Originally, the plan was to exterminate the entire Lingji Demon Tribe as a warning to others, but someone managed to save them."
Fang Jian couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Who?"
"Master Lingxu's senior disciple, Ding Xinglan." Empress Wenlin said, "At that time, she spoke to the Sun Traveling God, saying that she wanted to meet His Majesty."
"The Sun God said to her, 'Who are you? What qualifications do you have to speak before His Majesty?'"
"Then Ding Xinglan said, 'I have one million good deeds, so I can ask for an audience.'"
At this point, Fang Jian and the Generals of Capture and Kill, Destroy the Altar, the Five Young Lords, and the Ten Directions Commander beside him were all greatly shocked: "A million good deeds?"
Empress Wenlin nodded and said, "Yes, one million good deeds. When the Sun God heard this, he was also surprised, so Ding Xinglan took out the 'Golden Seal of the Immortal Scroll' for verification. After the Sun God verified it, he immediately reported it to His Majesty. His Majesty immediately ordered Ding Xinglan to meet him outside Lingxiao Palace."
The audience was held outside the Lingxiao Palace. Although he could not enter the palace to meet the emperor, this was already the limit that a demon fairy with the level of a true immortal could achieve.
"It turns out that Ding Xinglan has been cultivating virtue and doing good deeds throughout the past few hundred years, accumulating merit. He now has a total of 1.3 million merits." Empress Wenlin sighed as she spoke, "I've never seen a demon cultivator below the Golden Immortal level accumulating so much merit."
Fang Jian asked, "What happened next?"
