The Fire of Love the Great Goddess

Eps.27: Think, Tian Jun!

And even though Ming Ye was already calm and doctrinated himself from worrying, he still went to the Sky Palace to ascertain Bai Feng Xian's condition himself. His auspicious cloud disappeared shortly after his feet stepped on the floor of the gate of the Sky Palace guarded by different Heavenly Generals.

Perhaps out of fear of the same thing happening to him, the Heavenly General let Ming Ye pass by without examination or plate designation. Ming Ye dumbfoundedly walked into the courtyard of Tianwu Palace, and he was shocked when he saw Bai Feng Xian sitting in the garden as if he was waiting for something.

“Why did you come here?” bai Feng Xian asked.

“I came to pick you up. Are you okay?”

“What could happen to me? I'm not going to fight, I'm here to return the favor.”

“What did Tian Jun do to you?”

“Is your brain damaged by age?”

Ming Ye closed his mouth. Views circulate. Then, he saw the figure of Dongfang Yue clad in a light blue god robe coming out from the crystal building of Tianwu Palace.

His majesty radiated every time his feet stepped onto the gray jade floor of various carvings. Seeing Ming Ye coming, he bowed in salute to her.

“Small girl, wait outside. I have something to talk about with the Celestial Emperor.”

Bai Feng Xian sneered. He said he came to pick her up, but still had other intentions when he saw Dongfang Yue. He thought Ming Ye was lying about it.

He came precisely because he wanted to talk to Dongfang Yue, not purely to pick her up. He chose to go from there instead of eavesdropping on their conversation. It was best not to interfere in the affairs of these two Great Gods.

“Tian Jun, what's your next plan?”

Ming Ye as an elder god always spoke frankly. Without explaining, he could make his interlocutor understand the meaning of his words.

Dongfang Yue was silent for a moment, thinking about the situation she had just taken control of. This great surprise had made him lose his ability to think well.

“I can understand why you and Ji Meng hid it from me. But, I really want to correct all my mistakes in the past,” said Dongfang Yue.

“You think he'll forgive you if you tell him now?” Ming Ye stared fully at Dongfang Yue, he saw all the changes in expression and feelings hidden behind it. “As you know, she is not a generous and airy Great Goddess.”

“After you forced him to jump into the God Killer Well, it took me and Ji Meng five hundred years to keep it a secret and make him recover. You know what I was thinking when I saw him coming home in such a miserable state? I was thinking if that crazy bastard who had done it might not want to live anymore.”

“People say if the Great God Ming Ye ignores the world and is aloof in the Mirror Lake. But, you have a pretty big concern for him,” Dongfang Yue said.

Ming Ye chuckled. “That little girl grew up in Mirror Lake.”

Thas right. One might know that the Great God Ming Ye lived aloof for hundreds of thousands of years in the Mirror Lake, but one also knew that he had a very good relationship with the Qingqiu Kingdom. The descendants of the Qingqiu royal family were all in Ming Ye's care and guard, not least Bai Feng Xian.

“I'm guilty of him. I owe him a lot, Ming Ye.”

“Tian Jun, have you thought from his point of view? Why do you think he decided to forget it all until you meet again as two strangers?”

Dongfang Yue was immersed in his thoughts. Eternity enveloped his heart. Did Bai Feng Xian hate him so much that he chose to forget about him and not want to see him again all his life? Was there really no chance for Dongfang Yue to make up for all her mistakes?

“Think, Tian Jun. Everything done in a hurry will not end well.”

He had no other words to convey to Dongfang Yue. Ming Ye turned his body around, then dumbstruck away leaving Tianwu Palace, ignoring Dongfang Yue who was standing rigidly in place. With a sad and confused look, Dongfang Yue escorted him without a word.

That Celestial Concubine was already so brash. Because he came from the Snow Phoenix Clan in the south and was accompanied by the frills of Emperor Xuan Yi's grace, his behavior had crossed the line.

Over two thousand years he held back his growing hatred ever since Yingzhao framed him. Since he had confirmed Bai Feng Xian's identity, he thought it was time to impose punishment on Yingzhao.

“Song Zi!”

Song Zi appeared from outside the palace, ran up to him and gave him his usual respect. “Tian Jun, what command should I carry out?”

“Send Yingzhao to Qingqiu and have her kneel down to beg Bai Feng Xian for mercy!”

“Good, Tian Jun.”

***

Ming Ye and Bai Feng Xian had returned to the Mirror Lake after a long journey. That day, the spring sun was warm, and the flowers that Ming Ye had planted along the shores of the lake were blooming, scattering scents in all directions. The peach trees that were the playground of Bai Feng Xian and his predecessors were also bearing fruit.

“You haven't answered my question,” said Ming Ye as they sat under the peach tree for thousands of years.

Bai Feng Xian plucked the peach, cleaned it with his clothes cloth and bit it. “About what?”

“Reply like what did you do to the Celestial Emperor?”

“He only asked for a drop of my blood to repair the Fire Mirror. He was indeed Emperor Xuan Yi's disciple. Even the broken Ancestral God heirloom could be repaired. But, why didn't he choose to repair the Ancestral God's lantern and let Sang Hui go redeem it in the Mortal Realm?”

“You have no other thoughts? It's possible that Tian Jun had a special intention of asking for your blood. Different treatment will apply when someone wants something.”

“Can you speak human language? I don't understand what you mean.”

Ming Ye chuckled again. Bai Feng Xian was indeed a Great Goddess, but she was still at such a young age and her feelings were so innocent. The implied things that he said he would never understand in a short time unless Ming Ye alone explained them.

“In addition to asking for your blood, what else does he do?”

“He told me to stand on the lotus pagoda. After the pure energy of Mount Yanqi entered into my body, she hugged me tightly and seemed to have many things to explain to me.”

“You don't remember anything at all?”

Bai Feng Xian shook his head. Apparently, the Meng Po wine he drank five hundred years ago still had an effect. His memory is still missing and that could be a good thing. Bai Feng Xian had to become an adult first before he regained the memories he had intentionally forgotten.

Ming Ye spread her body over the expanse of pink peach blossoms, closing her eyes and enjoying the serenity. Even so, his mind churned, guessing what else would happen after this.

He thought Bai Feng Xian's life would change again and the fabric of fate would tie him back to that figure from his past.

Suddenly a demon messenger came to them. His clothes look shabby. He might have just run from Qingqiu to the Mirror Lake without any spiritual power.

“Did my brother send you here?” bai Feng Xian asked. The demon messenger nodded quickly.

“There are guests who come looking for you, Dewi. You must return to Qingyun Palace to cope with the situation.”
