The Fire of Love the Great Goddess

Eps. 24: Cannot be Fixed

Yao Yan's mouth was gaping. His long lifetime, Yao Yan felt like he was the luckiest demon in the world. Today, he had not only met the First War God of the world, but met the young Great Goddess Qingqiu.

Yao Yan used to only know if the only immortal who reached the grand level at such a young age was Dongfang Yue. Apparently, the world had another side that he didn't know about.

“Gosh! Not in vain I fell here!”

His sparkling eyes made Bai Feng Xian uneasy. As a Great Goddess who did not get along very much, Yao Yan's existence was a nuisance. Just like Sang Hui who pestered him and betrothed him to Dongfang Yue. After Sang Hui went to the Mortal Realm, came a Yao Yan who seemed to be worse than that Tianqi Young God.

“Can you go? Your body is fine now,” Bai Feng Xian said.

Feeling expelled, Yao Yan scowled. It was very funny, but no longer in Bai Feng Xian's eyes. Yao Yan was like a annoying little boy.

“I told you, I'll go after resting for a few hours.”

Ming Ye had no more reaction to Yao Yan's childish attitude. Her smile and her calm face made her look even more elegant.

Bai Feng Xian took a glance at him and thought that it was a pity that this old god did not have a partner. If tens of thousands of years ago Ming Ye was married, he might already have grandchildren and would not need to have Bai Feng Xian treated like a child.

Suddenly there was a sound like an object breaking from inside the cave accompanied by a bright light that flashed for a few seconds. Bai Feng Xian had not even had time to react and deduce that light, as Ming Ye immediately rushed into the fox cave with an expression that started to panic.

Inside Bai Feng Xian's treasure storage room, Dongfang Yue crouched down in front of a maple-shaped object that was already split into pieces.

That thing was the Fire Mirror, which had accidentally fallen as Dongfang Yue took it. A-Rou hits him and makes his body balance disappear. That's why the Fire Mirror immediately fell and that light was the light from the spiritual power inside the mirror that was scattered.

“The mirror broke,” said Ming Ye. His face calmed down. He was so good at hiding his emotions that everyone could not guess whether he was sad or happy about the shards.

Dongfang Yue picked up one by one the broken parts with his hand. “Ming Ye, can you fix it?”

There was a slow breath blowing from that figure.

“Entahlah. The Fire Mirror is an heirloom of the Ancestral God, and even though I am his disciple, I am not sure it can return to its original state.”

The starlight in Dongfang Yue's eyes that had shone back dimmed as the dim hope he kept in his heart. The goal was to ensure that Bai Feng Xian's identity through this mirror would no longer be achieved. His desire was even instantly dispelled by the fact that the Fire Mirror he was looking for had instead been broken and shattered by his own hands.

It was like the tangle of fate that he embroidered with A-Xian eight hundred years ago. When he raised her to be his disciple, he loved her so much and even intended to make her his wife.

But before that came true, he instead fell into Yingzhao's trap and made A-Xian commit suicide in the God Killer Well. The innocence of A-Xian made all of Dongfang Yue's feelings into a dream that lasted hundreds of years.

Dongfang Yue again broke that fate, making it re-woven with an intricate rope. He wondered if the heavens would not allow him to rediscover A-Xian? Is this a sign that he has no right to see A-Xian back?

Even if it was true that Bai Feng Xian was A-Xian, Dongfang Yue did not seem to be allowed to know him back.

“Something is not good if forced,” always Ming Ye as if he knew the heart of Dongfang Yue.

“No matter how much spiritual forging is needed, I want you to fix this mirror,” Dongfang Yue said.

“Even if you have to transfer more than half your spiritual energy forging?”

“Ya.”

Bai Feng Xian who heard the words immediately screeched. “Crazy basics. You're just like looking to die.”

As the Celestial Emperor, Dongfang Yue was seen as a fool who was obsessed with his disciple in Bai Feng Xian's eyes. The one who should be focused on guarding and leading the Four Seas and Three Lands instead dissolves into memories that are impossible to repeat.

Had the Celestial Emperor continued to obsess over this endless regret, the Four Seas and Three Lands could have been destroyed in his hands.

After all, channeling thousands of years of spiritual energy and magic forged within the body took time and had quite fatal consequences. Dongfang Yue had just channeled her energy into A-Rou's body, she lost quite a lot. If he did it again, he would probably fall into a long sleep and need to recuperate.

“You're crazy too. I will never be a demon.”

“Oh, is my statement not sincere enough?”

“Be quiet before I kick you out of here.”

In the end, Ming Ye obeyed Dongfang Yue's request. They used the treasure storage room in the fox cave to repair the Fire Mirror.

Although the spiritual power in Mount Xi was good, it did not mean that his pure air could be directly united with the spiritual energy of Dongfang Yue and Ming Ye. They had to repair the cracks first before casting any magic that could restore the Fire Mirror's function.

“Small girl, come out. This mirror might blind your eyes,” said Ming Ye.

Bai Feng Xian brought A-Rou out of the fox cave. Yao Yan followed him from behind and the three of them sat under the blooming thousand-year-old peach tree.

While waiting for the results of Ming Ye and Dongfang Yue's work, Yao Yan chose to settle his curiosity by asking Bai Feng Xian a few things.

“I saw Tian Jun's countenance turn dark when I mentioned his disciple. Beautiful Fox Goddess, do you know anything about that?”

“His disciples committed suicide by jumping from the God Killer Well five hundred years ago. Aren't you the ruler of the Demon Clan? Does living in a far away place make you stupid and know nothing?”

“Hey, watch your talk! These five hundred years I have been cultivating closed-door in the Dark Valley. Of course not all news reaches my ears.”

Yao Yan scowled again. His pride as the Third Master of the Demon Clan fell before Bai Feng Xian, whose incident was only the White Fox Clan from Qingqiu.

“But why did his student do that? Didn't Tian Jun love him so much?”

“He tricked Concubine Sky.”

“Gosh! Even a Celestial Emperor could not escape the trickery. Women are dangerous.”

It had never been in his shadow if the great Celestial Emperor, had ever been framed and tricked by his own concubine. In Yao Yan's life, he had already seen many kings fall in the arms of women and crumble. But if it was the Celestial Emperor, it felt a little ridiculous.

How could he make his loved ones plunge into the God Killing Well without hearing any explanation?

“It's worth it that he looks so depressed. I just first saw the starlight in his eyes dim since I knew him,” Yao Yan said.

“Devil like you is quite understanding too.”

“No. Although I am not in favor of the Sky Kingdom, but he has freed the Demon Clan from the cruelty of the Demon King thousands of years ago. Thanks to that, the Demon Clan could live despite having to get out of the world. I just feel if Tian Jun might really feel sad and sorry.”

“What are you sorry is useful now? His disciple was dead and his soul was already destroyed. Tian Jun won't find it back.”

“Auntie, don't say that. Every life has a side unknown to man. Tian Jun searched for the Fire Mirror probably because he had found a clue regarding his disciple,” interrupted A-Rou. Ever since, he had been engrossed in listening to Bai Feng Xian and Yao Yan talk.

Bai Feng Xian always felt an aversion in his heart that attracted him to be pessimistic about what Dongfang Yue was doing. A feeling of reluctance is like a grudge from the past that is not over. It made him always feel angry and cynical whenever someone offended about Dongfang Yue fighting for his disciple back.

He couldn't possibly have anything to do with that A-Xian, right?

Right at that moment, Ming Ye and Dongfang Yue came out from within the fox cave. Although the look on their faces was ordinary, Bai Feng Xian could catch on if they did not get good results. As he expected, Dongfang Yue then said that the Fire Mirror could not be repaired.

“I'll go back to the Sky Palace and try it again. Bai Feng Xian, I will meet you in a few days,” said Dongfang Yue, then she shot through the clouds and disappeared as fast as lightning. Dongfang Yue did not even use her lucky clouds to return to the Sky Palace.

“What did he meet me for?”

Ming Ye, Yao Yan, and A-Rou had no answer to that question.
