The Fire of Love the Great Goddess

Eps. 32: Searching for Remains of Memory

The night after Bai Feng Xian went to Mount Xi with A-Rou, Dongfang Yue returned to the Mirror Lake. This time, he did not frown as much as the last time.

He looks calmer and has good self-control. Just by taking a quick look at it, Ming Ye already knew that Dongfang Yue was capable of controlling him.

Ming Ye only looked at him calmly as Dongfang Yue sat in front of him. Her long black hair was left dancing in the gently blowing wind, making her glow under the silver glow of the spring moon. The jewel-encrusted crown of the Four Seas reflects the same moonlight.

“You made me chase Bai Feng Xian away twice. If I do it again, the little girl will be suspicious and will not want to leave, Tian Jun,” Ming Ye said.

“Then let him go,” reply Dongfang Yue.

It would be nice if Bai Feng Xian knew, that Dongfang Yue was always thinking about him endlessly. Tonight, he came to confirm something back. It was not about what kind of suffering and tribulation Bai Feng Xian had when he came back to life after jumping from the God Killing Well, but it was far beyond the time to three hundred years before.

“This time what else, Tian Jun?”

“I want to know something. Eight hundred years ago when I found her in the form of an elf in Yanqi Mountain, she did not remember anything. Do you know anything about that?” ask Dongfang Yue.

Ming Ye took his breath in calmly, exhaling it slowly. Before replying, he first threw his gaze over the sky.

“I am not the God of Destiny, Tian Jun,” he replied lightly. “If I know, then there is no need for Si Ming in this world.”

Also true. Si Ming was the God of Fate, but he did not necessarily know every destiny of each immortal. Moreover, what he took care of the most was the fate of mortal man's life, and some fate of gods who were undergoing trials. If eight hundred years ago Ming Ye did not know about it, then it was more impossible for Si Ming to know about it as well.

Dongfang Yue was silent for a moment. If he could figure out what happened eight hundred years ago, he might be able to look for the origin of the cruel complicated fate that had happened to him and Bai Feng Xian, who had also tied Yingzhao up. The abyss of suffering that spanned five hundred years could also get an explanation.

Dongfang Yue suddenly remembered something. He missed it because he thought it was a small thing. Five hundred years ago, Bai Feng Xian leveled up to become a Great Goddess, but no one had ever told him how he leveled up. Does that mean…

“I am his sky test, his love test that makes him rise to the level of a Great Goddess,” Dongfang Yue said unknowingly.

Ming Ye was aghast, he looked at her for a moment. He did not expect Dongfang Yue to be able to understand past events in just a few minutes.

“Yes, I just witnessed someone making the Celestial Emperor as a test of his love to level up to become a Great Goddess. My long life will not be in vain.”

But, why? Why does destiny like to play tricks on people?

Dongfang Yue had never expected that eight hundred years ago when he found Bai Feng Xian at Yanqi Mountain, that woman had already begun her celestial exam. Dongfang Yue was a test that the heavens had sent for her, which was why the obstacles she passed through could be so painful.

The relationship starts from the helper and the helper, from students and teachers until it is no longer that limited. The sweet taste of three hundred years of happiness led to such a terrible and profoundly hurt, it was nothing more than a test.

To Bai Feng Xian, it was probably nothing. But to Dongfang Yue, it was a shock that gave an undefined sensation of disappointment.

Was that why Bai Feng Xian had so easily forgotten about him?

Everything that happens in the test of the heavens, is nothing more than a stopover. When the sky test was completed, then everything was also finished. The feeling of love, hate, happiness, everything goes back to being pseudo, becoming memories that might be considered worthless and wear off over time.

Dongfang Yue felt her heart being squeezed firmly.

Dongfang Yue paused his words for a moment. “I will search for the remaining memories lost before she undergoes the test of the heavens to become the Great Goddess.”

“I know. So, try to regrow the same feeling in her heart if you really want to be with her, Tian Jun.”

The look on Dongfang Yue's face turned bright. “Is that possible?”

“The Lotus Buddha Petals you gave today are enough to make him touched.”

The flame of hope was burning in his heart. Dongfang Yue vowed to protect him as much as she could and would not let anyone hurt her.

He might have a hard time breaking Bai Feng Xian's heart, but nothing was impossible in this world. Bai Feng Xian alone could make himself the object of the sky test, why couldn't Dongfang Yue make that dream come true?

After all, Bai Feng Xian was the woman who had already made him fall in love. Before meeting him, all that was in Dongfang Yue's heart was the world and his obligation to keep the peace of the Four Seas and the Three Lands.

Emperor Xuan Yi, his father and teacher gave him a task and a heavy burden to bear on his shoulders. He downplayed the relationships and personal feelings between men and women.

Emperor Xuan Yi gave him the escort of Celestial Concubine Yingzhao, solely to balance his personal life. Without Emperor Xuan Yi knowing, Dongfang Yue had cultivated a deep hatred towards the reward from him. Even to this day, that hatred is still growing.

Until he met Bai Feng Xian in the form of A-Xian, the personal feelings between the neglected man and woman slowly made him aware. Life is always side by side, good and bad, man and woman, yin and yang, day and night. No one can sense when fate sets someone up to fall in love. Not even a Celestial Emperor would escape from it.

“Where is he now?”

“Mount Xi.”

“Why did you send him there?”

“I taught his indirect disciple to mix wine and let him drink. Hm, should the bundle of green moss is awake now.”

Dongfang Yue wanted to get angry, but this person in front of her was a Prehistoric Great God whose age was far above her despite her appearance being so young. Scolding parents is not a good thing. He was preparing to leave, but Ming Ye's question blocked him for a while.

“You want to see him?”

Dongfang Yue nodded.

“This solvent?”

“I don't want anything bad to happen to my son.”

After which, Dongfang Yue instantly disappeared. The atmosphere in Mirror Lake became calm as usual. Ming Ye's gaze shifted. He was still calm as usual. Dongfang Yue had already come twice, she hoped that person would not come bothering her anymore.

“I've opened a way for you. Tian Jun, lest you let me down,” Ming Ye said before he turned into his dragon form and fell asleep at the bottom of Mirror Lake.
