Early in the morning, birdsong could be heard. In the mountains behind Fairy's Capital, there was a garden that occupied a part of the landscape. Autumn was coming, and the maple leaves were red. The weather was cool in the morning. In a spacious room on the east side of the garden, a young lady in a red and white dress sat on the window sill. She looked at the birds flying in the forest in the distance and sighed.
"Who am I exactly?"
Tang Xiaoxi stared blankly at the dew dripping down the window sill and murmured, "Who is that person? Lin Muyu … Who is he to me? Why … why do I have such a strong feeling for him? Why … why can't I do anything to him? I … I'd rather die than hurt him. Why … "
At this moment, knocking sounds could be heard. Someone was knocking on the door.
Tang Xiaoxi looked over and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Feng Ning 'er." Feng Ning' er's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in." Tang Xiaoxi raised her palm and opened the door with her divine power.
Feng Ning 'er was dressed in a white dress and looked like a beautiful angel. Behind her were two maids who were holding plates of fruits, food, and soup. She walked in with a smile and said, "Princess Xi, it's time for breakfast."
"I don't feel like eating. Thank you, Ning 'er."
"You're welcome."
Feng Ning 'er walked closer to the window sill and looked at Tang Xiaoxi's lonely expression. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her and said, "Are … are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Tang Xiaoxi looked at Feng Ning 'er. For more than a month, Feng Ning' er would visit her almost every day. He was also the only person she could talk to. She said, "Your Highness Ning 'er, are … are you my friend?"
"Of course we're friends. Have you forgotten, Princess Xi? When we were in Lanyan City, you often came to visit me too. "
"Then … can I ask you something?" Tang Xiaoxi murmured.
"Sure …"
Feng Ning 'er glanced behind her and said, "Put down your things and leave. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
"Yes, Your Highnesses." The maids bowed respectfully and left.
"Now, ask away," Feng Ning 'er smiled and jumped onto the window sill, sitting there foolishly like Tang Xiaoxi.
"Who … who am I?" Tang Xiaoxi asked.
"Who … who am I?" Tang Xiaoxi asked.
"I mean, my other identity …" Tang Xiaoxi looked at her deeply and said, "The other identity that I have forgotten. Who exactly am I?"
"You're Tang Xiaoxi … Great Qin Empire's Auxiliary Princess."
"Then … who is of Lin Muyu?"
"His Royal Highness, Prince Qin …" Feng Ning 'er hesitated.
"What, is it inconvenient to say?"
"No …" Feng Ning 'er bit her red lips and said, "He is a person who would risk his life for you, but … but five years ago, you personally killed his lover."
"Then … what's my relationship with him?"
"You have to ask yourself," Feng Ning 'er said softly.
Tang Xiaoxi suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. She couldn't help but hug her knees, burying her face in her skirt. "I can't remember who I am, why is it like this … Sacred Teacher ordered me to kill Lin Muyu, why … why is it like this …"
Feng Ning 'er gently held her shoulders but did not know how to comfort her. In the past few years, Tang Xiaoxi, Lin Muyu, and Qin Yin had experienced too much and tasted the joys and sorrows of the world. But what could they do? This was the world. Everyone was like a chess piece, controlled by the changes in the world.
Feng Ning'er had long given up hoping that Lin Muyu would love him. His only wish was that the heavens would not torture him anymore. Even for Lin Muyu defeating the demon race, Feng Ning'er could not hate her at all.
At this moment, a gentle and penetrating voice came from outside the door. "Excuse me, is Highness Xi here? I am Pei Xun, and I seek an audience with Highness Xi. "
"Again?" Feng Ning'er frowned. These days, Pei Xun had been running to the palace in the back mountain more and more frequently. Anyone could see that Pei Xun had fallen in love with Tang Xiaoxi the first time he saw her, but … Feng Ning'er actually felt inexplicably resistant to Pei Xun's pursuit of Tang Xiaoxi. Perhaps, in the depths of her heart, Tang Xiaoxi only belonged to Lin Muyu. No one else was qualified to touch Tang Xiaoxi.
However, Pei Xun was one of the seven Empyrean Gods in the mortal world after all. Even if they didn't give him face, they still had to give face to the powerful Deity King Yang Li. Even the Demon Emperor and the Sacred Saint were very respectful to these seven Empyrean Gods, let alone others.
"Come in, Lord Pei Xun."
"Yes."
After pushing the door open, Pei Xun carried a bamboo basket filled with freshly picked fruits. In addition, there was a bouquet of unknown flowers on top of the basket. Immediately, a strange fragrance filled the room.
"So Highness Ning'er is here too." Pei Xun smiled. Then, as if ignoring Feng Ning'er, he walked forward and bowed elegantly to Tang Xiaoxi. "Pei Xun greets Highness Xi. I have brought fresh wild fruits from the mountains and a bouquet of flowers that have just bloomed. I hope that Highness Xi will be in a good mood today."
"Thank you, Lord Pei Xun."
Tang Xiaoxi was still hugging her knees as she sat there silently. She looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers outside the window and said, "If there is nothing else, please return, Lord Pei Xun. I would like some peace and quiet. Moreover, Lord Pei Xun is from the Heaven Realm and is busy with official business. I will not stay any longer."
Pei Xun was slightly embarrassed and said, "Highness Xi, if you are not in a good mood, Pei Xun has a good suggestion. There is a waterfall at the back of the mountain. The sound of water is murmuring. Why not Highness Xi ride a horse under the waterfall? I am willing to accompany you."
"No need. Thank you." Tang Xiaoxi said indifferently.
"Then …"
Pei Xun cupped his fists helplessly and said, "Then … then I will take my leave. I will come again tomorrow."
"I will not send you off. Take care, Lord."
"Yes."
After leaving the door, Pei Xun's handsome face was filled with embarrassment. Huang, who was guarding outside, couldn't help but laugh. "It seems that the door has been shut in my face again. Hahaha … Pei Xun, you are a God from the Upper Realm, but you can't do anything to a woman from the Lower Realm. When you return to the Northern Heaven Realm, you will definitely become a laughing stock. Hahahaha …"
"Shut up!"
Pei Xun looked at him coldly. His entire body was enshrouded in light. He looked at Huang with the power of the Law of Light.
Huang was speechless. Although he was well-versed in the Law of Chaos, Pei Xun's light sword and light shield were very powerful. It was better not to provoke him. Huang rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, you don't need to waste your energy. If you really like Tang Xiaoxi, you can just go to Feng Yuan and ask for her hand in marriage. Tang Xiaoxi is his third daughter. As long as you ask for her hand in marriage, would Feng Yuan dare to refuse?"
"A melon that is forcefully picked won't be sweet."
Pei Xun loosened his clenched fists and said, "But I will not give up. I will wait until the day Tang Xiaoxi is willing to accept me."
Huang also frowned. "You genteel people are really troublesome. Things between men and women are so simple. Isn't it just taking off your pants and riding on top of each other? Yet you romantic people make it sound so poetic. Hmph … you're simply unreasonable."
Pei Xun looked at him coldly. "Why? Do you want to have a taste of the Holy Sword of Light again?"
"Hmph!"
Huang couldn't help but tremble and said, "Let's go. Sir Divine King Yang Li is summoning us. You can't delay important matters for a woman, can you?"
"Let's go!"
The two leaped up and disappeared at the same time.
… …
"Crackle … crackle …"
Lightning spread in the air. In the blink of an eye, Pei Xun and Huang appeared in the main hall. They saw Demon Emperor Feng Yuan sitting high on the throne. Sagemaster and QianFeng stood on his left and right. Yang Li stood below the steps with an extraordinary aura. Although he was a Divine King, his strength and status were far above Feng Yuan's, Yang Li didn't overpower him. After all, he knew that he was in the lower realm. No matter what he did, he had to rely on Feng Yuan's strength.
Pei Xun said respectfully, "Divine King Yang Li, what matter do you have for summoning us?"
Yang Li looked at him deeply and said, "Did Lord Pei Xun go to visit Tang Xiaoxi again?"
"Yes …"
"It seems … Lord Pei Xun has forgotten why His Majesty Divine King sent us here?"
"I don't dare to forget!" Pei Xun was so frightened that he trembled all over.
"It's good that you haven't forgotten." Yang Li raised his brows and said, "Alright, it's time for us to get down to business. Lin Muyu is in Heaven Connect City. We should take action."
"But … the God Sealing Stone has not been completely cast. It will take half a month." Pei Xun had a respectful expression and continued, "If we take action now, even if we kill Lin Muyu and obtain her Supreme Godhead, I'm afraid that half of the godhead's divine power and potential will dissipate because of the master's death. We must use the God Sealing Stone to seal the godhead. This is His Majesty Divine King's order."
"I know."
Yang Li was a little impatient and said, "But we still don't know Lin Muyu's ability. This lowgod with a Supreme Godhead can't be underestimated. I plan to test Lin Muyu's strength first. How about the two of you support me?"
"Yes, Lord!"
Yang Li turned around and looked at the Demon Emperor, Saint Master, and the others. He asked, "Feng Yuan, Lan Hun, and QianFeng, do you have any good suggestions? When is the best time for me to test Lin Muyu's strength?"
The Demon Emperor looked at QianFeng. QianFeng knew Lin Muyu's habits the best. However, at this time, QianFeng's face was solemn and his brows were tightly knitted. He did not say a word. It seemed that he had always been against the idea of Yang Li and the other Upper Universe Gods assassinating Lin Muyu. After all, it was an unfair duel. Was it fair for a Divine King who had cultivated for millions of years to assassinate a young Ultimate God in his thirties?
"Ahem …" The Demon Emperor coughed.
At this time, Saint Master cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to Lord Yang Li. Although Lin Muyu has been living in the Longdan Army Camp in Heaven Connecting City, he would go to the mountain stream ten miles north of Heaven Connecting City every evening to drink his horse. It's his habit. There are only a few dozen guards accompanying him. Lord can take this opportunity to meet him."
"Alright, please lead the way for me, Lord Lan Hun."
"I'll be delighted!"
