Furthermore, Xunmi recalled that Erlang Shen was the one guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate.
If the princess wanted to go to the mortal world, she could only go through the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Here came the problem. To be able to sneak into the mortal world under the eyes of Erlang Shen, the number one war god of the Heavenly Court, she was lucky the first time, but what about the second time?
She did not believe that Erlang Shen was not there during both times, and that there was no one guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Not long later, the arrival of the eight princesses interrupted Xunmi's train of thought.
It was time for her to make an appearance. Luckily, she was smart enough to dig out another useful identity from the plot.
"Father, mother, may you be blessed." The eight princesses with different looks said in unison.
The eldest princess Sisi stepped forward and bowed. "Mother's golden birthday is the same as the heavens. May mother be blessed with good health."
They were on their way here when they encountered the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Their hearts sank. Father probably found out.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother saw clearly that five out of the thirteen princesses were missing.
"Sisi, where are your other sisters?" The Jade Emperor already knew, and the anger in his eyes was faintly discernible.
Facing her father's question, Sisi was a bit scared, but she resisted the pressure and smiled.
"They heard that there was a very beautiful flower in the South Sea, so they wanted to pick it for mother's birthday."
"They should be on their way back now. Father, you know that they are a bit playful, so they might be late."
One day in the heavens was one year on the earth. Thirteen went down for five to six years, and Second Sister and the rest went for four to five years. What happened? Why aren't they back yet?
"Eldest princess, you are lying. They clearly went to the mortal world, and even injured the guards of the Southern Heavenly Gate."
How could Erlang Shen let them get away with it like this? He immediately pointed it out.
Sisi was shocked and could not help but take two steps back. Fortunately, Bingbing quickly went forward and hugged her, preventing her from falling.
They all felt sorry for their eldest sister. During this period, she did not sleep at all. Adding that she was extremely nervous, she almost could not hold on after being yelled at by Erlang Shen.
She smiled and shook her head at Bingbing, indicating that she was fine. She stood firm, and her aura as the eldest princess spread from inside to outside.
She was a thorny rose for the sake of her younger sister, not a weak lily.
"Erlang Shen, don't wrongly accuse me. This princess knows that you still hold a grudge against Thirteen for deceiving you back then."
"I didn't expect you to be such a petty immortal. You told Thirteen that you liked him, and Thirteen agreed when he was still young. He didn't admit it the next day, and you've been holding a grudge ever since."
"Why don't you take a look at how many years have passed since then? Erlang Shen, don't bring your personal grudges into irrelevant matters."
This was a very secretive matter in the Heavenly Court. When the First Princess suddenly revealed it, everyone was dumbfounded.
Then, he excitedly prepared to read the gossip. He really didn't expect that Erlang Shen actually liked the thirteenth princess.
Xunmi also understood. So that was the case.
Erlang Shen's handsome and robust face was flushed red with anger. He did not deny it, but the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
"First Princess, don't try to change the topic. No matter how you find excuses, you can't deny the fact that the other princesses are in the mortal world."
With a wave of his hand, a huge water mirror was condensed from the Jade Pool.
Gradually, clear figures appeared. The princesses who had yet to arrive were all present.
That was not all. There was a man beside them who seemed to be saying something, making them laugh so hard that they were trembling with laughter.
The First Princess's body became unstable and she almost fainted. How could Second Sister and the others be charmed by those mortal men?
The truth was right in front of him. No matter what anyone said or explained, the Jade Emperor would not believe it.
He was so angry that he smashed the armrest of his chair. His beard also curled up in anger, looking rather comical.
"Erlang Shen, I order you to capture those wicked girls." Of all places, they went to the mortal world. It was fine if they went to the mortal world, but they were actually together with men from the mortal world.
Don't they know the difference between immortals and mortals? This was a heavenly rule, a law. It could not be broken.
"Yes, this little immortal guarantees that I will definitely bring the princesses back to the Heavenly Court." Erlang Shen replied firmly. He finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Alright, go." The Jade Emperor trusted Erlang Shen a lot.
Seeing that it was about time, Xunmi stood up and said with a cold expression, "Wait."
Everyone was confused by this Moon Goddess's sudden appearance. What was she going to do?
The princesses who originally thought that they could not be saved instantly looked at the Moon Goddess gratefully.
Xunmi nodded towards them and smiled faintly. She signaled them to be at ease.
She walked to the center and bowed towards the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother. Then, she waved her hand.
A dark gold compass appeared in the air. There was something that looked like a spoon on top of it. However, no one dared to underestimate it.
"The Life Compass."
Someone called out the name of the artifact. His tone was filled with shock.
Xunmi did not pretend to be mysterious. She directly explained, "Jade Emperor, this little immortal is here today because the princesses came to find this little immortal yesterday."
"When this little immortal found out about this, I was very shocked. Because this was the scene that I had seen before."
"Life Arbiter, life Arbiter. Only Heaven's Fate, not your own. From the moment you made that agreement with Elder Moon, Elder Moon's two disciples descended into the mortal world. The princesses' fates were already destined to change from that moment onwards."
She was not bluffing or lying. This was the truth. This was what the Life Compass told her.
In order to obtain this Life Compass, she had lost a lot of treasures in exchange for it from the world's consciousness. There were too many things to complain about. She really did not know where to start.
The Jade Emperor calmed down. His expression was complicated.
The Heavenly Court had not produced a Life Arbiter for ten thousand years. Everyone thought that the Heavenly Court's fate was very rich. Who would have thought …
"Moon Goddess, what did you see?" The Jade Emperor felt that there were too many things that were forced into his mind today.
Xunmi kept the Life Compass. Her red lips moved slightly, but her words were terrifying.
"Mountain River Change, Heaven Change, Immortal Change, Human Change."
"This … This … How is this possible?" Not only the Jade Emperor, everyone was shocked. They had never doubted the Life Arbiter's Life Arbiter.
This was because every time the Life Arbiter was used, her lifespan would be depleted.
Jun Jing looked deeply at the incomparably beautiful woman in the center of the field. That was his Demon Empress. She was powerful, beautiful, intelligent, and kind.
It was publicly acknowledged that the first thing to be able to become a Life Arbiter was to have a pure and kind heart.
What was pure and kind? It was not blindly kind, nor was it passively kind when one's mind was not firm.
There were very few people who could do this.
"Your Majesty, fate cannot be changed, but it can be changed. This time, let me descend to the mortal world to meet the princesses."
XunMi opened her mouth again, pushing the task onto herself. Actually, she didn't want to do such a strenuous and unrewarding task. If it wasn't for the task, she definitely would have given up on this task. _ (: з? ∠) _
