Li Nianfan looked at the barren Flat Peach Garden. Then, he looked at Ziye and Cheng Yi. Suddenly, his expression changed. He blurted out, "That year, the monkey secretly ate the peaches here?"
Cheng Yi was stunned at first, then she smiled and nodded, "Yes."
Li Nianfan continued to ask, "Did he freeze all of you?"
Ziye wrinkled her nose, "Hmph, that monkey is too naughty. If it wasn't for the fact that the Seven Fairies had just transformed, how could he have subdued us so easily?"
Li Nianfan finally asked the question that was on everyone's mind, "After freezing all of you, did he do anything else?"
"Anything else?" Cheng Yi seemed to be thinking. She shook her head and asked curiously, "Is there anything more important than eating peaches?"
Ziye shook her head too, "Nothing else."
Li Nianfan's expression did not change. He nodded in agreement, "You're right. Eating peaches is indeed the most important thing."
"Brother, brother."
At this moment, Long 'er suddenly pulled Li Nianfan's sleeve. She looked up at Li Nianfan and said crisply, "I thought of a way to restore the stone sculpture!"
Ziye and Cheng Yi's expressions changed. They asked excitedly, "What way?"
Long 'er and Nanna raised their hands at the same time and said seriously, "Turn into light!"
Slap!
Li Nianfan was speechless. He raised his hands and slapped Long 'er and Nanna's heads. "Shut up. You little brats don't know what's good for you."
He laughed awkwardly and apologized to Ziye and Cheng Yi, "Miss Cheng 'er, Miss Ziye, I'm sorry. They've gone crazy from watching too much TV. They're talking nonsense."
He decided that he would watch less TV for Nanna and Long 'er. They used to be fine, but now they've gone crazy from watching too much TV.
Nanna and Long'er hugged their little heads and felt wronged. They mumbled, "That's how it is. As long as we believe, we can become light."
Li Nianfan laughed coldly. "Haha, I believe that when you go back, you won't be able to watch TV anymore!"
Cheng Yi, on the other hand, had a serious look on her face. She asked expectantly, "Young Master Li, what does it mean to turn into light?"
How could this be a joke?
Li Nianfan really couldn't explain it. He could only say, "Ahem, it's just a groundless thing. Miss Cheng 'er, you don't have to pay attention to it. That … it's getting late. We should go back."
Cheng Yi and Ziye looked disappointed. However, since the elite had no intention of explaining, they did not force him. They said, "It's getting late. Why don't Qimei and I clean up a palace for you? Young Master Li can stay here."
Li Nianfan shook his head and said, "No, I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
"Young Master Li, take care. Come again next time."
…
Cheng Yi and Ziye watched Li Nianfan leave. They could not calm down for a long time.
Especially Cheng Yi. She tightened her grip on the Mountain River Map. Her voice was trembling. She said excitedly, "Qimei, wait for me here. I'll try to bring the Jade Emperor and the Empress back."
Before she could finish her sentence, her body had already soared into the air and left with the wind.
In a space in the Sky Beyond Heaven.
Following the ripples, Cheng Yi walked out of it quickly.
"Da da da!"
She could no longer maintain her usual elegance. Her breathing was rapid as she walked into the depths of the Sky Beyond Heaven.
Today, the Empress and the Jade Emperor were in a good mood for some reason.
The two of them did not quarrel. They walked together as if they were in love.
The Empress scolded with a smile, "Cheng Er, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I tell you to pay attention to your status and maintain your elegance? What's the use of being anxious? "
"You're right, Empress."
Cheng Yi nodded. She could not wait to ask, "Empress, if the Mountain River Map exists, can it bring you out of this place?"
"The Mountain River Map?"
The Empress was stunned. She then said, "The map is a miniature of the entire Eldritch World. If the map exists, it can help us escape. However … the Sky and Earth are shattered. I'm afraid the map doesn't exist anymore."
The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "That's right. Cheng Er, I know you've always wanted to help us escape. Just like your Qimei, you've always been hopeful. However … it's too difficult. This is the structure of the Sky and Earth. Don't mess around. Let's leave it to fate."
The Jade Emperor and the Empress were much stronger than the Seven Fairies. Hence, they could understand the determination of the Sky and Earth during the previous calamity. They could see further and understand the horror and despair. Sometimes, giving up is a form of release. It feels good to give up all the time.
After a pause, the Jade Emperor added, "Remember to bring more leeks like last time. The Empress and I are trapped here. It's rare for us to find something we like. It's good to eat it occasionally."
Cheng Yi took out the scroll in her hand, "But … the scroll in my hand should be the Mountain River Map."
The Empress and the Jade Emperor laughed and shook their heads, "Impossible. You must have mistaken it for something else."
No wonder this girl was so flustered. She had mistaken the treasure. The Mountain River Map was too far away. Even if it existed, the world was so big. How could it fall into her hands?
However, in the next moment, they looked at the scroll in Cheng Yi's hand and were stunned. Their expressions froze and their eyes froze.
"Let me see. Let me see!"
They rushed forward and grabbed the scroll. They did not dare to touch it with their hands. They looked at it without blinking.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother's hearts raced as they felt the flow of the veins in the painting. Even the Queen Mother's voice trembled. "It's the Mountain River Map of the Gods of Earth and Vale. It's really the Mountain River Map of the Gods of Earth and Vale!"
They were trapped in the same place every day and saw the same scenery. It would be a lie to say that they did not want to go out.
The Mountain River Map's appearance was too valuable to them. It was as valuable as saving their lives!
The Empress looked at Cheng Yi in disbelief. She said in shock, "Cheng Yi, tell me the truth. This map … Where did you get it?"
Cheng Yi smiled, "I got it from the expert."
"No wonder … The expert gave it to you." The Jade Emperor nodded. Then, he said in disbelief, "He's willing to give you such a treasure?"
Cheng Yi pursed her lips and said weakly, "Actually … This map is just a normal scroll in the expert's eyes. It was damaged and had no spiritual energy. The expert used a brush to draw a few strokes on it and it was repaired."
"What?!"
The Empress and the Jade Emperor almost jumped up. They opened their mouths and gasped.
"This is just a normal scroll in the expert's eyes?"
"He used a brush to draw the Mountain River Map?"
They stood there in a daze, dumbfounded.
He only felt that his head was buzzing, and the door to a new world had opened in front of him.
They did not know that such a thing could happen in the world.
"Expert! A peerless expert!" The Jade Emperor's pupils shrunk to the size of a needle. He was shocked, in awe, and nervous. He said in a trembling voice, "That's for sure. To be able to do such an unbelievable thing, he must be someone on the same level as Pan Gu!"
The Empress asked with concern, "Did you give the Peach of Immortality and Yellow Plum seeds to the expert?"
Cheng Yi nodded, "Yes. I heard from Seventh Sister that the expert was very satisfied."
The Empress smiled, "That's right. The expert must have felt our sincerity. That's why he's willing to give us the Mountain River Map to help us get out of here."
"That's right. That's most likely the case."
The Jade Emperor nodded in agreement and sighed, "People like the expert play around in the human world for happiness. Once he's in a good mood, even if it's just a casual charity, it's still a great benefit to us! You should know that I was just a servant under the Ancestral Lord. To put it bluntly, the expert's servant is usually higher in status than me, the Jade Emperor! "
The Jade Emperor and the Empress looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with excitement and anxiety. They knew the benefits of being by the expert's side. That was why they could not calm down.
This was someone who surpassed the Ancestral Lord and was comparable to Pan Gu!
"To be able to befriend such a great person, you and Cheng Yi have done well. That's great!"
The Empress took a deep breath. She then said seriously, "What else did the expert say? Tell us the details of the whole process! So that we can serve the expert better. "
Cheng Yi began to explain, "Today, the expert had a sudden impulse and followed Seventh Sister to the Heavenly Palace …"
The Jade Emperor and the Empress pricked up their ears and listened carefully. They did not dare to miss a single word.
When they heard that the Heavenly Palace had taken the initiative to shine and welcome the expert, they nodded without any surprise. It seemed that the Heavenly Palace was not stupid. They had a good eye.
However, when they heard the expert praise the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor frowned. He sighed, "Cheng Yi, you've done something wrong."
Cheng Yi's heart skipped a beat. "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The Jade Emperor's tone was firm. He said, "Since the expert likes to play around in the three realms, the Heavenly Palace must give him a set. It must be the best place and the most glorious one. You didn't give it to him. Sigh."
Cheng Yi said regretfully, "I wanted to, but the expert rejected it."
"So you didn't understand the expert's words!"
The Jade Emperor shook his head. Then, he said, "How did the expert reject it? He said that it's not official. That means he's not a deity. Isn't that obvious enough? We have to give him the title of the Heavenly Palace! "
The Empress's expression changed. "Your Majesty, you mean to give the expert an official position?"
"Watch your words! Watch your words! What are you thinking? If we give the expert an official position, can I still be the Jade Emperor? You're trying to kill me! "
The Jade Emperor's face turned pale. He quickly said, "We can't give him an official position. Since the expert is the Deluxe Merit Saint, we can call him the First Deluxe Merit Saint. His position is superior, comparable to a saint. He has to be respected by everyone. Then, we can give the Heavenly Palace to him."
