The Fire of Love the Great Goddess

Eps. 37: A Soulful Play

From generation to generation, the most rare thing to encounter with Celestial Emperors was to show their weakness. They tend to cover their wounds when they are injured, and always behave like a leader who is not afraid of anything. They could always stand firm with a stern and dazzling face, deceiving everyone, making the others think he was fine.

Dongfang Yue did not enter in the exception. Seeing Bai Feng Xian before him, he immediately controlled his emotions and heart, acting as if nothing had happened. Behind him, Ming Ye who was helping him normalize the flow of energy turnover immediately looked at Bai Feng Xian in full probing.

No, it looks like a mockery.

“Yo, little girl, it's quick for you to come.”

Slowly but surely, Bai Feng Xian began to understand one thing. These few days, Ming Ye often left the Mirror Lake and disappeared without any news.

As it turned out, this annoying old dragon went to the Sky Palace, helping with Dongfang Yue's closed cultivation. It was only fitting that Bai Feng Xian could not find it anywhere!

But, what bothered him was Dongfang Yue's current condition. The majestic man, who usually smiled at him and was so radiant, looked like a sick person. His handsome face was a little pale, he seemed to be powerless. Dongfang Yue seemed to have been tormented by something.

“Tian Jun, answer my question!” his tone slightly raised, and Dongfang Yue only responded with a smile.

“I'm fine. It's just that my energy is a little problematic. Ming Ye has already helped me fix it.”

“Really?”

Dongfang Yue nodded. Bai Feng Xian's gaze softened and he ran at her, touching her forehead with the palm of her hand to confirm something.

His body temperature was indeed hotter by several degrees compared to Bai Feng Xian's body temperature. Abnormal energy turnover in the body often makes the immortals experience pain, but it will disappear after a few days.

So, during these fifteen days, he endured his pain on the grounds of closed cultivation? It was only fitting that Song Zi refused Bai Feng Xian to enter and told him to wait. Dongfang Yue probably did not want Bai Feng Xian to see her like this, looking sick and powerless.

“I will make soup for you,” said Bai Feng Xian.

He could not bear to see Dongfang Yue who was sick like this. He was used to seeing her smile meaningfully, looking at her fully as if they had known each other for a long time.

“Song Zi, help him.”

Seeing their interaction, Ming Ye shook his head. His worries were raised again because Dongfang Yue and Bai Feng Xian did not yet have an open attitude towards each other. He thought their relationship was speeding up, but it turned out to be nothing more than a road in place.

“Why didn't you tell him?”

“I don't want to make him worry more. Bai Feng Xian has already suffered a lot while with me in the past.”

“The Lotus Buddha you gave him for A-Rou is not a legacy, is it? It comes from your Nirwan, and it is the bulk of your spiritual awareness. You think he'll take it if he finds out?” ask Ming Ye.

“That's why I hid it. Let A-Xian think the Lotus Petals Buddha is a legacy of Emperor Xuan Yi.”

“If Xuan Yi knew his son as well as his disciple were to uproot his own spiritual awareness, he would be enraged.”

“It's no use, Emperor Xuan Yi is long dead. Besides, I did it to save his grandson.”

“You guys... are really stubborn,” complained Ming Ye.

Dongfang Yue only bitterly laughed at the sentence spoken from the mouth of a Prehistoric Great God. Ming Ye might have tasted the acid and salt in the world in his long life, but he did not necessarily feel that he was in the position of Dongfang Yue. Ming Ye would not understand what Dongfang Yue felt like to Bai Feng Xian, because Ming Ye had never been in love.

Yes, they are stubborn. Dongfang Yue insisted on playing the charade that he was fine. Bai Feng Xian insisted on being a woman who seemed oblivious to her own feelings.

“At least, I can keep him here a few days. Play this charade with all your soul, don't let A-Xian know.”

Not knowing how to respond to it, Ming Ye shook his head. He got off the bed, flicked his robe and pummeled out of Dongfang Yue's bedroom. Ming Ye brewed his tea in the garden of Tianwu Palace, while waiting for a while.

He saw Bai Feng Xian walking into the hall of Tianwu Palace with a tray containing a soup bowl an hour later. All his life, Ming Ye had never seen Bai Feng Xian care so much about someone.

His life was used to being free and pampered, he only cared about himself. Today, Ming Ye could see the girl he grew up with acting caring towards others.

“Two hearts are connected, but an enormous abyss drowns them. The little girl, has already started to mature.”

After confirming it, he immediately returned to Mirror Lake.

Bai Feng Xian did not know when Ming Ye left, because when he entered Dongfang Yue's bedroom, there was only that man alone. Her irritated smile expanded, waking Dongfang Yue up from her short sleep. Hot soup billows from the bowl, the aroma is fragrant.

“Spend the soup,” said Bai Feng Xian. Dongfang Yue used the opportunity that came at her as best as possible. He pretended to be weak, telling Bai Feng Xian to bribe him.

“Did you lose all your energy until you couldn't raise your hand to take a tablespoon and drink soup?” bai Feng Xian's.

“If anyone is willing to do it for me, it will be very good,” Dongfang Yue said.

There's no other choice. After all, this was the first time Dongfang Yue had told him to do something trivial. Bribing would not be catastrophic, so he did it slowly until the soup was exhausted. While being fed, Dongfang Yue's gaze never escaped him.

“Is there something on my face?” bai Feng Xian asked. Dongfang Yue shook his head.

“I have only seen that in the Four Seas and the Three Lands, the Great Goddess Qingqiu is the prettiest immortal I have ever met.”

Bai Feng Xian's face instantly heated up like there was a fire being exhaled from within, giving a red hue that radiated to his ears. Jeez, is Dongfang Yue so good at words?

After all, Bai Feng Xian was a woman. The praise inevitably made him misbehave, and he turned his face to the side to avoid Dongfang Yue's gaze. Unfortunately, the star's eyes kept on catching him the entire time.

“Then is A-Xian, your student, prettier than me?” bai Feng Xian asked. The smile on Dongfang Yue's face remained fluffy, like he was not bothered by the question.

“Do I have to answer it?”

“Of course! Since you love her and the one in front of you right now is me, you should distinguish who is prettier!”

“If I said he was you and you were him, would you believe it?”

“Omong empty! Where did your petty thoughts come from?”

“True too. A-Xian was not as great as Bai Feng Xian from Qingqiu.”

The joke just ended. The atmosphere inside Dongfang Yue's bedroom was silent for a while. Throughout history, perhaps only Bai Feng Xian from Qingqiu could go inside the bedroom of Heavenly Emperor Dongfang Yue at will. It wasn't without reason.

Bai Feng Xian was A-Xian, the disciple and woman whom Dongfang Yue loved. No matter what identity he entered, the result would still be the same.

Dongfang Yue looked at Bai Feng Xian earnestly. This time, she also held her soft hand tightly. “Stay here for a few days. I will have Song Zi watch over A-Rou.”

Bai Feng Xian could not resist, he nodded his head just like that.
