After receiving Bai Feng Xian's last greeting, Dongfang Yue did not delay herself from staying any longer in Qingqiu. The man immediately darted, returning to the Sky Palace with a feeling of sadness and regret.
He regretted having received the greeting earlier, regretting having given Bai Feng Xian permission to salute him. Regardless of the status of Gods and Great Goddess, regardless of their position in these Four Seas and Three Lands, the only thing Dongfang Yue could not let go of was her disciple.
Now, he fell back in grief. Although he had expected this to happen, but still his heart could not accept. If possible, she would choose to be selfish, erase Bai Feng Xian's memories and marry him and make him a Celestial Empress. But, no, he can't do that. It would be very unfair to Bai Feng Xian.
The Qian Meitian Pavilion was like he was feeling his sadness. The thin white mist that had always enveloped the place, now turned into a wisp of black clouds that were ready to drop rain at any moment. The flowers seemed to wither, forgetting the way to grow and choosing the buds.
On the wooden swing of that pavilion courtyard, Dongfang Yue sat alone. His hand held an urn of wine that he took from the Sky Palace wine storage rack. Dongfang Yue usually did not like to drink, but the sadness of her heart encouraged her to vent all her feelings through wine.
Only three gulps, he was already drunk. The appearance of a Dongfang Yue who was now completely did not reflect his identity as the Celestial Emperor, the great lord of heaven. He's just a guy who's breaking up.
Xiao Huan was disturbed and came out from the petals he was left with. He sighed when he saw the Celestial Emperor sitting there feeling sad and chaotic. This state of affairs, was exactly like five hundred years ago when his master jumped into the God Killing Well.
"Tian Jun, did that woman leave you?" ask Xiao Huan. Dongfang Yue simply fell silent, gulped down her wine again and dropped her urn onto the ground.
Xiao Huan guessed that right now, the woman who looked like her master who had come here had left Dongfang Yue and made her sad. Otherwise, that Celestial Emperor would not have come here and tarnished his own image for the second time.
"Xiao Huan, how old are you this year?" asked Dongfang Yue suddenly.
"Six hundred years. Why would Tian Jun ask this?"
"Six hundred years...."
Dongfang Yue suddenly took out a pearl from within her robe, then put it into Xiao Huan's body. The pearl contained the pure spiritual power of the Four Seas, which could add as much power as four thousand years of spiritual forging.
Xiao Huan felt that his body was uneasy due to the sudden increase in energy. After a while, his body finally began to feel comfortable again.
"That's enough to protect your employer. Go away, don't stay in this place anymore. You can already have your human form as a whole" Dongfang Yue said after Xiao Huan calmed down.
Xiao Huan was surprised.
"Tian Jun?"
"As you said, the woman left me. Again and again. I can't protect her all the time."
There were mixed feelings in Xiao Huan's heart. He finally understood the situation. Pleased, but he could not deny that he was also sad to see the condition of his Celestial Emperor. His employer.... The employer is still alive!
"Just go. He won't throw you out because he's remembered everything."
Xiao Huan was speechless, only able to stare and plead himself to farewell. His master was in Qingqiu, and he wanted to see him immediately.
Dongfang Yue got up from her seat, then stood unsteadily in the garden. The moon in the sky was already shining, piercing through the sometimes very annoying darkness. Part of her heart also became dark losing the light of love.
"I was with you for eight hundred years. But I screwed it up and made you suffer the next five hundred years. A-Xian, why is it so hard to have a whole and happy love?" Dongfang Yue muttered.
"Am I not sincere enough to love you? Does destiny like to play tricks on people, even to play us?" He muttered again.
After enough talking and asking himself, Dongfang Yue regained her senses. Then, he directly left the Qian Meitian Pavilion. When his feet stepped on the back of Tianwu Palace, an extremely thick and dark cloud immediately covered Pavilion Qian Meitian, engulfing him in the darkness of night and would never be found again.
"Xiao Huan?"
Bai Feng Xian stood under the peach tree on the edge of the Mirror Lake, looking with disbelief at the figure of the girl standing ten meters away from him. Xiao Huan also looked at him, his eyes glazed over.
"Sirter! That's right you!"
Xiao Huan, the flower spirit who already possessed his human form, immediately scattered his arms around Bai Feng Xian. He was crying so happy. Finally after five hundred years, the whereabouts of his master were known and his master was truly still alive!
"Sir, I was so stupid that I didn't recognize you when you came back to Qian Meitian Pavilion that day. I didn't know it was really you, master!"
Yes, Bai Feng Xian also did not expect that the infuriating flower spirit he had encountered in the pavilion was Xiao Huan, either, the flower spirit from five hundred years ago who had also been a witness of his life in the Sky Kingdom. He did not think that the girl even came here.
That is, Dongfang Yue had already informed about the conditions between them and told him to come here. Bai Feng Xian sighed, breaking his embrace and keeping him a few centimeters away.
"You've got your human form?" bai Feng Xian asked.
Xiao Huan nodded. "Tian Jun gave me the pure spiritual pearl of the Four Seas. He said it was enough to define my human form and protect you."
"Sir, did you decide to no longer connect with him after you remembered your past?"
Other than Ming Ye, in this world only Xiao Huan always knew what Bai Feng Xian was thinking without the woman telling him. Five hundred years ago when Bai Feng Xian felt he would be framed by Yingzhao and forced to die, Xiao Huan also knew it first. It was just that he could not leave the Sky Kingdom because his body was not yet perfect, waiting with heartache until today.
"The life of the immortal is very long. Meetings and partings always happen. Over time, the pain and love will go away on their own. Perhaps, this is all I can do to forgive him and forgive myself," Bai Feng Xian said.
"Complicated and protracted. Boss, has your love story of the gods always been like this?"
"Xiao Huan, is he okay?"
Xiao Huan felt that his master still loved the Celestial Emperor, but due to his past heartache he was forced to break his feelings and part ways. Xiao Huan could understand the cause, if he were to become Bai Feng Xian, he would not necessarily be able to accept with this kind of attitude.
Xiao Huan shook his head. "Since returning to the Sky Palace, Tian Jun continued to sit in the garden of Qian Meitian Pavilion all day and got drunk. I don't know if he's conscious now or not."
"Maybe it was his last time in that place" Bai Feng Xian said.
"What's? You mean, Tian Jun...."
"He kept it for five hundred years. Since it was already useless, there was no reason for him to defend the place."
"So that's why he told me to meet you and help me get my human form?"
"If you don't believe it, you can go back to the Sky Palace and see if the Qian Meitian Pavilion can still be seen or not."
Xiao Huan instantly turned his gaze upwards, staring at the sky that had suddenly rumbled. The moonlight was covered in a thick, wavy cloud of black clouds in the north. The location of the intersection leads to Tianwu Palace, to the back where the Qian Meitian Pavilion was built.
"Tian Jun completely destroyed the place."
