The Fire of Love the Great Goddess

Eps. 11: Unsincere Apologies

This time, Bai Feng Xian actually returned to Qingqiu with Ming Ye. The cloud of good luck that he was striking disappeared into a thin mist that was slowly carried away by the wind and perished without a trace.

The vast verdant meadow where he stood right now was the entrance to Qingqiu. At the end of the meadow was a stone cave that became the main entrance to the residence of the Fox Clan.

The spring breeze slapped Bai Feng Xian's face gently. Ming Ye immediately took him in and walked towards Qingyun Palace, where his father and mother were seated. A few palace ladies-in-waiting greeted him by lowering his head as he passed by.

The crystal lights that were installed at each corner one by one started to light up brightly. Although Qingqiu was not as vast and not as big as the Sky Kingdom, but she had the Qingyun Palace whose splendor was not inferior to the other palaces in the Four Seas and Five Lands.

It was just that the splendor could only be seen by those whose hearts were adrift on Qingqiu.

When the door of Qingyun Palace opened, she saw her brother, Bai Chi was sitting on the side of her father's throne anxiously. Everyone immediately turned their heads to the arrival of their goddess after not coming home for a few days.

This has never happened. In the past, before Bai Feng Xian had slept for three hundred years, everyone had never questioned where he had gone and how long he would return.

Her father, Bai Yin, went to the Eastern Grassland to visit their second brother a few hours ago. All the affairs in the Qingyun Palace fell on his first brother, Bai Chi, who had arrived at his fifty thousand year old unmarried as well.

However, the biggest concern that made Bai Chi anxious back then was not the late presence of Bai Feng Xian, but rather what would happen after this. In the middle of the hall, an ivory-white robed woman whose ends were embroidered with golden threads stood facing the throne. His back was upright, his head was looking up snobbishly.

Bai Feng Xian's mood suddenly turned bad. He regretted having followed Ming Ye and coming here this time. The woman – Yingzhao immediately turned his back when all eyes were on the object behind him. Her pretty face was glowing, yet Bai Feng Xian had absolutely no impression of her.

“What are you here for?”

Really, Bai Feng Xian did not want to see this woman again. She may be a Great Goddess, but her nature and humility have not been perfectly formed due to her young age.

Bai Feng Xian had not been able to come to terms with the workings of the world, which required a Great Goddess to be more patient and generous, less likely to mind everything and emotions.

Seeing Celestial Concubine Yingzhao coming, he became displeased. The trouble brought about by the woman's indiscretions as the celestial banquet left a deep enough mark on Bai Feng Xian's heart.

He usually ignored these insignificant little things, but somehow it felt hard to let go of his frustration this time around.

As if, there was a vengeful pull in his past life that attracted him to dislike the figure of the Celestial Concubine. In his eyes, Yingzhao was like a hammer that had been clinging to the host for too long, until he forgot his identity and considered himself important. The feeling suddenly appeared.

Yingzhao with all his forced humility bowed to give him respect. “I've come to resolve misunderstandings between us.”

Ming Ye moved to his side. This old god had never missed a chance to watch a drama unfold before his eyes.

This scene would be a long one recorded in history and become a story that would forever be known in the legend of divinity: when the graceful Celestial Concubine humbled herself apologizing to the Great Goddess Qingqiu.

“Don't you say you want him to come alone? Look, the guy's here. You should be happy,” whispered to Bai Feng Xian's right ear.

Those words were nothing more than a spark to provoke him. Ming Ye lit the fire of the show before his eyes.

“I won't be provoked by you.”

Then, Bai Feng Xian looked at Yingzhao sharply. Yingzhao was still acting calm and haughty, as if this goddess before him was just a little goddess on the rise.

In the Sky Palace, who would dare to oppose and match him? She was a Celestial Concubine, who revered the Four Seas and the Three Lands. On what basis should he bow and humble himself in front of this wild fox goddess from Qingqiu?

If not for the Celestial Emperor scolding him and reprimanding him, he would not have come here. The mistake was not entirely his fault.

The two subordinates of the East Sea King had made him bear the shame of his birthday banquet, even requiring him to come here himself to make an apology. Up to this point, the degree has been sufficiently lowered.

“If the Concubine actually came to apologize, why is your tone like that? Maybe people thought you came to fight with me.”

“Then, please enlighten you, Great Goddess.”

He said it with a clear voice and enough volume. But, Bai Feng Xian could see that the woman's jaw was hardened until her cheekbones seemed to shrink and her teeth were slightly grinding. Moreover, his hands were also clenched, while his eyes were filled with stifled emotions.

“You let your two guest subordinates provoke and slander me. I, Bai Feng Xian, am not a generous person. As a glorified Celestial Concubine, your actions do not reflect the wits and morals of a role model. I don't care what the Celestial Emperor has said until you have actually come, which is clear, your apology has not been able to be received because you haven't been sincere enough.”

Ming Ye chuckled at the words of this bratty girl. Another Bai Feng Xian in another mouth in the heart. He said he would not be consumed by Ming Ye's provocative talk, but in the end took the bait as well.

Ming Ye so wondered could it be that Bai Feng Xian had been at odds with Yingzhao before?

Yingzhao's face that was filled with green makeup.

“Lantas, what sincerity do you want from me, Great Goddess?”

“Let me think about it. Ah, Ming Ye, did Fang Jue escape again?”

Bai Feng Xian saw Ming Ye nod. Fang Jue was the peacock demon of Bai Feng Xian's mount that he got from his second brother eight hundred years ago.

Before he fell asleep and lost his memory for three hundred years, he often rode him to various places in the Four Seas and Three Lands.

It was just that this Fang Jue had not always been obedient. Whenever Bai Feng Xian did not call him in a few days, he would run away until Bai Feng Xian had to look for him. The bird's habits did not change even until Bai Feng Xian became a Great Goddess.

“You heard that? My mount ran away again and I had to find it. I'll tell you what sincerity I want after I come back.”

And Bai Feng Xian, this ever-free Great Goddess Qingqiu no longer paid any heed to Yingzhao's whereabouts and his purpose of coming here.

Qingyun Palace became very gloomy as Bai Feng Xian stroked out through the gate, then climbed up the fortune cloud and left there without saying anything more.
