The Fire of Love the Great Goddess

Eps. 20: Guest Ming Ye

“Go home tonight. Your mom and dad just got back. They said that you should go see them.”

That sentence sounded like an order that just popped out. Bai Feng Xian had never expected that this elegant old god could just drive him away. Though, he had never been forced back to Qingqiu, at least since the past five hundred years.

Bai Feng Xian was now suspicious that Ming Ye was about to do something bad.

“You kicked me out?” tanyakanya.

“No. It's just, you'll feel uncomfortable if tonight you force it to stay.”

Ming Ye handed the decision to Bai Feng Xian. If he insisted on staying at Mirror Lake that night, then everything that could cause him to return angrily was not his responsibility.

He saw Bai Feng Xian's lips curl up and threw out a few words of ridicule for him in a soft tone. In this world, only a Bai Feng Xian was able and dared to mock this prehistoric Great God.

Bai Feng Xian was lazily arguing. He carried the small body of A-Rou and boarded his lucky clouds, rushing towards Qingyun Palace in Qingqiu.

His mouth muttered a few lines of ridicule that kept coming out even until he landed on the fertile land of Qingqiu. In the evening, Ming Ye waited under his peach tree. She was wearing a pink robe, as red as a peach blossom. His color reflected under the moonlight, coupled with his high deity, he looked so graceful, elegant, and also majestic.

A short while later, the air currents in Mirror Lake changed slowly. An immortal, with his distinctive white clothes and unrivalled majesty in the Four Seas and Three Lands slowly landed. His feet stepped on the dark green grass on the shores of Mirror Lake, splashing a hint of a holy spiritual aura.

Ming Ye saw him and he immediately greeted him.

“Tian Jun,” his voice breaks the silence of Mirror Lake.

Dongfang Yue bowed. In this world, he could only bow to two people: Emperor Xuan Yi and Great God Ming Ye. After Emperor Xuan Yi had evolved and returned to nothingness, there was only one person left who could make him bow down whenever he met. Ming Ye was the Prehistoric Great God, the world's first surviving God of War, and the feat was well worth making a Celestial Emperor submit respectfully to him.

“Can I find out why you came to see me? Song Zi came to me and said that you wanted to meet me in secret,” asked Ming Ye.

“Not secret. It's just, don't want to involve others.”

Ming Ye invited Dongfang Yue to sit in front of him. The Celestial Emperor looked so mysterious. Ming Ye had actually guessed the purpose of coming here, but he had returned pretending to be innocent. Under the moonlight, he poured his peach wine into two small cups.

“In fact, there is something I want to ask,” Dongfang Yue said after sipping a cup of Ming Ye-made wine. It was sweet and his throat was warm.

“I will answer if indeed I intend to give an answer, Tian Jun,” reply Ming Ye.

“You are the person closest to Bai Feng Xian after Ji Meng and his family. I recently felt that he might be related to my student,” Dongfang Yue said.

Ming Ye stopped pouring his wine, he took a breath and controlled himself to appear as calm as possible. “Oh? Why do you feel that way?” tanyakanya.

“I saw it in Mount Yanqi. He pierced through the protective field I created and made the pure energy I used to gather the souls of my disciples revolve around him. If she is not related to him, that is unlikely to happen,” explains Dongfang Yue.

Dongfang Yue was not a person who was easily fooled. He would not pretend to believe in Ming Ye like last time. “Is it true that Bai Feng Xian fell asleep for three hundred years in his sky test?”

“Ya.”

Dongfang Yue's icy-cold expression implied that he was unhappy at Ming Ye's reply. Ming Ye knew the Celestial Emperor doubted him, but wouldn't that be better?

Bai Feng Xian had already given up her heart and soul by drinking Meng Po's wine and forgetting about it and all those painful memories. Bai Feng Xian would only do so desperately and take that extreme decision only if his heart was already extremely sick and disappointed.

Realizing that Ming Ye had no intention of giving the answer he wanted, Dongfang Yue sighed. He looks tired. Heart's tired. Souls tired. Five hundred full years he searched for A-Xian and the rest of his soul. Hope and hope sparkle, but never become reality. Now when he wants to make sure, he has trouble accepting it.

“Why? Is Tian Jun dissatisfied with my answer?” ask Ming Ye.

Dongfang Yue was simply speechless. Ming Ye gulped down another cup of wine, then looked at Dongfang Yue in silence. Moonlight reflected silver light, looming above the water surface of Mirror Lake. Spring is at the top, and tonight is the quietest night.

“If you are looking for your disciple out of guilt, you should look for the right way and behave to face your celestial concubine,” she advised Dongfang Yue.

Yingzhao, was a thorn in Dongfang Yue's heart. Ever since she accepted him as a concubine, dislike ran through her heart all the time. The past eight hundred years, that dislike turned into a deepening hatred, especially after he had deceived her and made her punish A-Xian without blinking. After A-Xian was wiped out, Dongfang Yue only realized that she had made a mistake. He punished Yingzhao with a hundred strikes of celestial lightning, rendering him paralyzed for ten years.

Dongfang Yue wanted to punish him more severely and banish him from heaven, but when he remembered that Yingzhao was a gift of Emperor Xuan Yi, he put it off for a while.

Ming Ye's words were indeed true. Dongfang Yue had to take a stance and act wisely to deal with it. He wouldn't have the words he deserved to say if A-Xian had really come back sometime, if he hadn't punished Yingzhao for his actions.

“Tian Jun, I have no interest in interfering in your affairs and the Sky Kingdom. There are some things that will not end well if forced. If you ask me about her again, then I don't have the answer you want.”

Ming Ye looked calm, yet in his heart he thought of many things. The answer Dongfang Yue wanted would not be given.

The affair between Bai Feng Xian and Dongfang Yue was probably more complicated and strange than he had expected. Dongfang Yue had a huge debt to pay to Bai Feng Xian when the girl did not remember him at all.

As the night grew late, Dongfang Yue moved away from her seat. There was no point in continuing to be here because Ming Ye would not give the answer he wanted.

Dongfang Yue could not force it. This might be the beginning for him, as at least now he could restart his search and prove that Bai Feng Xian was A-Xian.

"In that case, I won't interfere with your time anymore. Great God, I hope you don't reject me if I ever need your help" Dongfang Yue said. Ming Ye nodded and replied, "Of course."

Dongfang Yue climbed up his lucky clouds, and in an instant, he had left the silvery shining Mirror Lake. Ming Ye looked at him calmly.

A wine glass went back inside Ming Ye's mouth. The remaining wine was poured over the ground and grass.

“Aih, just follow the flow of destiny. Why force yourself to know it early? The current generation of time immortals is indeed very impatient."
