"Eldest Princess, you are a criminal. Why are you still so stubborn?"
The Sky Inspector Immortal suddenly rebuked. He had to bring Ye Yaoyue back to the Celestial Court today. Otherwise, how would he and Venus Taibai answer to Ziwei Tian Di?
"No matter what you say, I will not go back with you." Ye Yaoyue said resolutely.
"Venus, stand aside. Wait for me to capture the eldest princess."
The Sky Inspector Immortal was at the First Heavenly Layer of Grand Heavenly Realm. Although his position in the Celestial Court was not as high as Venus Taibai's, his cultivation was solid and not something Venus Taibai could compare to.
"No!"
Venus Taibai hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late. The Sky Inspector Immortal burst out with Grand Heavenly Golden Light and suppressed Ye Yaoyue with a great art.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Naturally, Ye Yaoyue wouldn't just sit there and wait for her death. She didn't seem to have done anything, but with a flip of her hand, a golden rope shot out. It turned into a long streak of light that whizzed towards the Heaven-Inspecting Immortal.
"Not good, the Immortal Binding Rope!"
Taibai Jinxing exclaimed. What followed next was a tragedy for the Heaven-Inspecting Immortal Official. The Immortal Binding Rope was an Immortal Supreme Treasure. Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal would have to surrender. The Heaven-Inspecting Immortal Official was unable to resist at all and was suppressed by the Immortal Binding Rope on the spot.
"Hmph, not to mention a mere Sky Inspector Immortal, even a peak Grand Heavenly Realm cannot break free from the Immortal Binding Rope." Ye Yaoyue said coldly.
"Sigh."
Venus Taibai let out a long sigh. He knew that he would not be able to bring Ye Yaoyue back to the Celestial Court today. He bowed and said, "Eldest Princess, please release him. We will leave now."
Ye Yaoyue had no intention of harming them, so she naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them. She recited a spell to retract the Immortal Binding Rope, freeing the Sky Patrol Immortal Official.
"Jinxing, I'm sorry," Ye Yaoyue said apologetically.
"Eldest Princess, even though you possess the Immortal Binding Rope bestowed upon you by Ye Tiandi, and even a peak Golden Immortal can't do anything to you, you must know that you've already violated the rules of the heavens. Take care of yourself." Venus Taibai let out a long sigh, and then he called out to the Sky Patrol Immortal Official before returning to the Celestial Court.
Ye Yaoyue didn't show any joy on her face as she watched Venus Taibai leave. Her brows were tightly knitted together because she knew that this matter wasn't over yet. However, there was nothing she could do. She could only take one step at a time.
…
Thirty-three layers of the Celestial Court.
The North Pole Celestial Emperor sat on his throne with a heavy expression on his face. Below him, Taibai Jinxing and the Heaven-Inspecting Immortal Official were reporting to him about Ye Yaoyue.
"She's not coming back?" Ziwei Tian Di asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty is wise. Your subject originally wanted to capture the Eldest Princess and bring her back to the Celestial Court. However, the Eldest Princess's Immortal Binding Rope is extremely powerful. Your subject is no match for the Eldest Princess." The Sky Patrol Immortal Official kowtowed in shame.
"The rules of the Celestial Court cannot be broken for the Eldest Princess alone. Which subject is willing to bring the Eldest Princess back to the Celestial Court?" Ziwei Tian Di asked as he looked around at the Immortal Demon Kings.
"This … this …?"
For a moment, the Celestial Court was silent. No one stepped forward to accept the order. Clearly, Ye Yaoyue's identity was too sensitive. If they really went to capture her, they would offend her.
Although Ye Yaoyue was the Daluo Jinxian and possessed an immortal treasure like the Immortal Binding Rope, the Celestial Court was filled with talents. There were even dozens of Quasi-Saints. Capturing Ye Yaoyue wasn't a problem at all.
Unfortunately, everyone knew that Ye Yaoyue was Ye Xuan's adopted sister. Although Ye Xuan had passed the throne to Ziwei, the Celestial Court still respected Ye Xuan. No one knew what Ye Xuan's intentions were. Naturally, no one would recklessly step into these muddy waters.
"Where are the Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Heavenly Cycle?" Ziwei Tian Di began to call out.
"Your subjects are here."
The Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Heavenly Cycle quickly stepped forward and bowed to Ziwei Tian Di.
"Quickly go to the lower worlds and capture the Eldest Princess and bring her back to the Celestial Court. Remember, this must be done in secret. Do not let the outside world know," Ziwei Tian Di said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Heavenly Cycle obeyed and left. They even selected ten thousand celestial soldiers and generals and went to the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
Seven days later.
The Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Heavenly Cycle knelt in the Celestial Emperor Palace with bruises all over their faces. Ziwei Tian Di smiled bitterly, her eyes filled with helplessness.
"It's not that our cultivations are inferior to the Eldest Princess. It's just that the Eldest Princess's treasures are too powerful. We are no match for the Eldest Princess. Please punish us, Your Majesty." The Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Heavenly Cycle knelt and begged for forgiveness, their faces filled with shame.
One had to know that Ye Yaoyue's cultivation was not only at the Daluo Jinxian level, but she also had many treasures. These treasures were all bestowed by Ye Xuan many years ago so that Ye Yaoyue would have the means to protect herself.
Now, Ye Yaoyue did not use these treasures against outsiders. However, the generals of the Celestial Court had suffered greatly because of her treasures.
"Does anyone have a good plan?" Celestial Emperor Zi Wei heaved a long sigh.
"Let me go and bring Yaoyue back."
Suddenly, a figure entered the Celestial Emperor Palace. It was Mahamayuri Kong Xuan. With his arrival, the immortal and monster kings of the Celestial Court hurriedly bowed to him. Even Ziwei, the Celestial Emperor, rose to greet him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mahamayuri."
Ziwei Tian Di nodded discreetly at Kong Xuan. His lips moved slightly, clearly communicating with Kong Xuan.
In truth, Ziwei Tian Di really did not want to make things difficult for Ye Yaoyue. However, as the Celestial Emperor, he had to enforce the law impartially. If he ignored Ye Yaoyue's relationship with a mortal in the lower realm, how would the Thirty-Three Layers of the Celestial Court manage the affairs of the Celestial Court?
Although no one would say anything on the surface, if someone else violated the heavenly laws and used Ye Yaoyue as an example, wouldn't the laws of the Celestial Court be thrown into disarray?
Therefore, Ziwei had to summon Ye Yaoyue back and give her some symbolic punishment. This was also a strategy to deceive everyone.
Kong Xuan naturally understood Ziwei's intentions. He nodded lightly and left the Celestial Emperor Palace, heading straight for the Dong Sheng Divine Continent.
......
Lotus Village, in the thatched hut.
Li Youyun was reading at the table. Ye Yaoyue was looking at her husband with her chin in her hands. However, her face was a little haggard. She seemed to be lost in thought.
Li Youyun put down his book and rubbed Ye Yaoyue's shoulders tenderly. "My wife, have you not rested well? Why do you look so haggard these days?"
"My husband, if... if one day I leave you and our children... will you blame me?" Ye Yaoyue bit her lip, a touch of sadness on her face.
"My wife, why are you speaking nonsense? No matter what happens, I, Li Youyun, will always be here. I will never let you leave my side."
Although Li Youyun was a scholar, he was not pedantic. How could he not see that his wife had a lot on her mind? This made him pat his chest and promise Ye Yaoyue.
"Mother, don't leave us."
Her children pulled Ye Yaoyue's hand and shook it. This made Ye Yaoyue's gaze become extremely resolute. No matter what, she would never return to the Celestial Court, let alone abandon her husband and her children.
"Be good, mother will definitely not leave you and father." Ye Yaoyue stroked her children's hair and comforted them.
"Yaoyue, you are too muddle-headed."
Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the thatched hut. When Ye Yaoyue heard this familiar voice, her face turned pale. She immediately stood up and walked outside. Her voice trembled as she reminded Li Youyun, "My husband, no matter what happens, you must not come out."
