The Fire of Love the Great Goddess

Eps. 55: The Universe's Jokes

Night in Mirror Lake is so quiet. There was only the sound of the wind rustling through the peach leaves, like the rhythm of late spring music that left a mysterious but opiate impression. The ripples of water above the surface of Mirror Lake were like small waves, then stopped at the edge of the lake as the waters collided with the ground and the tip of the grass.

This atmosphere, gives the impression of deja vu which feels increasingly clear.

Ming Ye had just returned from the Undercurrent World when he found dozens of jugs of wine strewn over the grass. He looked up, then his clear eyes caught the figure of Bai Feng Xian lying lazily on top of the biggest thousand-year-old peach tree branch. His trunk was able to support his body until he was barely visible if only Ming Ye's eyes were not so sharp.

"You came just to steal my wine in the middle of the night like this and drink it alone?" ming Ye asked, her tone clearly showing that she was pretending.

Bai Feng Xian, who had regained consciousness a few hours ago and had directly left the Sky Palace, only laughed discordantly. Even Ming Ye, the person he respected the most and valued the most in these Four Seas and Three Lands, seemed to be happy to make it a joke.

"He killed me. Isn't that so funny?" bai Feng Xian said. He downed the wine again, then dropped his pitcher on the ground. "Five hundred years, he hid it five hundred years and I held it for five hundred years!"

Right now, Bai Feng Xian felt himself to be the most terrifying joke in the universe. Five hundred years ago a little elf managed to make the Celestial Emperor fall in love and ignited the jealousy of the Celestial Concubine, who pushed her into the God Killing Well. Five hundred years ago, everyone knew the Celestial Emperor had lost his beloved and regretful person until now.

Bai Feng Xian, was precisely living weightlessly as if nothing had happened, as if his title and rank of Great Goddess were achieved in a dream and so easily. She appears as the Great Goddess Qingqiu, who again captivates the Celestial Emperor and triggers a disaster.

"I don't care about the world. But you guys, at least have to tell me!" racau Bai Feng Xian's.

He never felt this sad. When he finally knew that the memories that came to him like nightmares were his own, he felt like the laughingstock of the world. The pain he had suffered back then, now re-infected him and brought back the nightmare.

It felt like his heart was torn apart and doused in vinegar water. Ming Ye, Ji Meng, Sang Hui, Dongfang Yue, Yingzhao, they lied to him. He felt so sad and disgusting. Bai Feng Xian was currently in great pain and anxiety.

How did this happen? In the past, he had chosen to forget everything and forcibly end his pain without a second thought, simply because he knew the person involved with him was the Celestial Emperor. He did not even think about the fate of the baby who had just been born at that time. In fact, he himself chose to present it to the world.

Was he so childish and too young to accept everything that happened to him? He knew it was his test of the heavens. But, the pain was truly unforgettable and comparable. The pain of the physical torment he received from Dongfang Yue, as well as the heartache of the man ignoring him and choosing to punish him without thinking, all came back.

Why should it be now? Why did his memory return when he had just met her? Huh, fate is so funny! Bai Feng Xian felt this game would not end in a draw! It had to be ended by one of them, because the one entangled was not just the three of them, but the world.

"I once offered my last Meng Po wine. Do you want to drink it again? My offer was still valid at the time" Ming Ye said. He knew, Bai Feng Xian suffered another heavy blow after the incident at Mount Yanqi. His memory had returned, and it made him fall into a sadness and anger that could not be defined with words. This woman even ignored her injuries and fled to her place.

"Don't talk about that shit!"

"You want revenge? Tian Jun wouldn't fight you if you came to kill him," said Ming Ye, who was still joking and playing tricks on Bai Feng Xian.

"What use? The trust and heart that have been broken will not return!" bai Feng Xian said in a high tone. "It won't change the fact that he, the Celestial Emperor, my own teacher, once forced me to kill myself."

Right now, Bai Feng Xian's emotions could not be controlled. Angry, hateful, sad, disappointed, and guilty mixed into a sea of feelings that stirred his heart and tore his soul. Bai Feng Xian felt himself so stupid that he fell into the same hole for the second time.

Supposedly, having already decided to forget, he remained steadfast in principle as an indifferent person, ignoring the complicated things around him. Otherwise, today would not have arrived and everything might still be fine as before.

But, in reality, he was not even able to understand his own heart.

Ming Ye looked pityfully at Bai Feng Xian. Her appearance was indeed not as bad as it was five hundred years ago when this girl lay pitifully on the edge of the Mirror Lake, yet her heart might hurt even more than back then. He sighed, feeling that fate was really good at playing people. Unexpectedly, that moment had finally arrived as well today.

"Although it hurts, but it's your sky test. It's kind of outrageous indeed, but the universe always has its own plans. If you put yourself in the position of Tian Jun back then, who did not know your identity and was in the trap of the universe, would you be as strong as he is right now?" ming Ye said. Bai Feng Xian was silent.

"He never knew if he was your test of the heavens. Tell me, how many immortals in these Three Realms can an Emperor of Heaven be the object of the test of the heavens?"

Bai Feng Xian was silent. Ming Ye's words almost touched his heart, yet he was a stubborn and selfish person. Bai Feng Xian dismissed the fact that Dongfang Yue back then did not know who she was and Bai Feng Xian also lost her memory.

His stubbornness and selfishness made Ming Ye have to sigh deeply again and again. He was actually lazy to advise Bai Feng Xian because he did not want to interfere anymore, but because Bai Feng Xian was acting like this, he inevitably had to force himself.

"You yourself chose this path, forgot everything and lived as Bai Feng Xian as before you experienced the test of the heavens. Your wish, of course, must be paid dearly."

Yes, Bai Feng Xian had indeed chosen this path, choosing to forget everything. The payment he had to receive was also great, he had to endure his pain again when all that was forgotten came back again. Meng Po's wine was just magic sealing his memories for a while, no one could guarantee it would last forever.

"If you want to completely forget about it once more, you can go to the Wangchuan River and ask for Meng Po's soup. But, you might have to die and reincarnate as a human," joked Ming Ye. Seeing Bai Feng Xian speechless, he then left her alone in the Mirror Lake, in the middle of this long silent night.

Bai Feng Xian then smiled blandly. What choice will he make this time? Forgetting back, or breaking this bond forever and not connecting anymore?

"Do I have to die first, then the universe will be satisfied and stop playing tricks on me?"
