The aroma of tea filled the air. Jiuxi stared at Si De Xianjun and sighed softly, "Father, so you dedicated yourself to the Queen Mother of Heaven because of my illness?"
Hearing Jiuxi's words, Si De Xianjun felt embarrassed and hurriedly drank another sip of tea. After feeling the dryness in his throat subside, he said, "Anyway, you just need to know that your father didn't mean to leave you.
The condition of my exchange with the Queen of Heaven is to come to the fairyland to serve as an official.
She is simply afraid that the underworld is becoming increasingly powerful and threatening the immortal world!"
"But father, the underworld has always been under the jurisdiction of the immortal world!"
The room was eerily quiet. Apart from the almost inaudible breathing of the two people, the only sound seemed to be the gentle sound of the wind outside the window.
The sound of the wind...
Si De Xianjun's face darkened as he saw the dark shadow moving outside the window and said jokingly, "Xi'er, he's old and his health isn't very good.
The underworld is full of affairs, it's time for you to go back!"
"But Father...!"
Before Jiuxi could finish his words, Si Dexianjun made a gesture to silence him, then pointed at the dark shadow outside the window and wrote four large characters on the rice paper, "Walls have ears."
Jiuxi frowned, having never imagined that this seemingly peaceful fairyland was also shrouded in shadows. However, he already knew what he wanted to ask, and he also knew that Mingye had not lied to him...
But where did these complicated emotions in my heart come from?
When she returned to the underworld, she found that the entire road from Fengdu to Guimenguan was covered with red gauze, and bright red albizzia flowers were neatly placed on both sides of the road. She felt strange. Could it be that there was a happy event in the underworld?
But the doubts in her heart were answered when she arrived at the gates of hell. There were dense crowds of immortal soldiers standing in front of her, but they were not holding weapons, but various musical instruments. Everyone had a rosy face and looked at her happily.
But there was a pair of eyes in the crowd that was burning hot, glued to her, refusing to move away for a long time. Jiuxi raised her eyes and saw Cang Ling's smile that was as intoxicating as the spring breeze. Cang Ling slowly walked out of the crowd, his eyes full of affection, and said, "People used to say that a ten-mile red makeup and a country as a betrothal gift are the bestowal. Now, I have done it. Will you marry me?"
Disgust appeared in Jiuxi's eyes. Sure enough, Cangwu was still unwilling to let her go. She frowned at Cangling and said, "Your Highness, Jiuxi has made it very clear. I will not marry!"
Although such a blatant refusal in front of so many immortal soldiers was indeed a slap in Cang Ling's face, it was still a good strategy on Cang Ling's part. He actually wanted to force him into submission. This brainless Crown Prince would never have thought of this method. It must have been taught by Cang Wu...
Cang Ling lowered his eyebrows, a flash of embarrassment in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a look of joy. He insisted, "Xi'er, I won't force you, but if you don't agree to me, I will always be here waiting for you."
It was true, he was quite happy to be used as a knife. Jiuxi bowed and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please do as you please."
Although Cang Ling still looked at Jiu Xi with a smile on his face, without any intention of complaining, the immortal general beside Cang Ling was unhappy. He said to Jiu Xi's back, "Your Highness, there are so many beauties in this world, why do you need to..."
Cang Ling interrupted, "What do you know! I just like her! Why don't you go and decorate Ghost Gate as well!"
The immortal general who received the order had no choice but to accept it and said, "I will obey your highness's order!"
As soon as Jiuxi entered the ghost gate, the gatekeepers Xiaojia and Xiaoyi quickly closed the door, isolating him from all the noise from the outside world.
Jiuxi raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you two afraid of offending the immortal world?"
Xiao Yi said happily, "As someone who receives a salary from His Highness, I naturally have to help His Highness with his worries!"
