At the end of the stream was a white jade platform floating in mid-air. Yao Xing stood on the platform with a smile, holding a flower-shaped wine cup in his hand. As he drank, he said loudly, "Xiao Zhenren, didn't you find one or two female immortals to chat about the night?"
"Hehe …" Xiao Hua replied with a smile, "Of course I don't need crystals!"
"Cough cough …" Yao Xing almost choked on the immortal wine. He coughed a few times and said, "I'm afraid there aren't any female immortals here who don't want crystals!"
Xiao Hua flew up and landed on the platform. Looking at the dazzling array of immortal fruits on the jade table, he said without stopping, "You can give me crystals too!"
"Haha, female immortals may be willing, but I'm afraid the owner of the Xuan Pavilion won't agree!" Yao Xing laughed and raised his hand. "Xiao Zhenren, please sit!"
Xiao Hua sat down cross-legged. Yao Xing lightly tapped the jade table, and several flame-shaped immortal fruits flew up and landed in front of Xiao Hua. Yao Xing said, "Xiao Zhenren, this is the Yang Yu Fire Spirit Fruit, an immortal fruit unique to the Xuan Kingdom. It shouldn't be found anywhere else. Please try it …"
Xiao Hua took one. The Fire Spirit Fruit was scalding hot to the touch, as if it was real fire. Xiao Hua smiled and put the Fire Spirit Fruit into his mouth. As soon as the fruit entered his mouth, a juice full of the taste of alcohol flowed down his throat. Then, a drunken dizziness rushed into his mind. Hsiao Hua-mei frowned and exclaimed, "Ah?" Then, two streams of tears flowed from his eyes …
"Ah??" Seeing Xiao Hua's face covered in tears, Yao Xing couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm sorry, Fellow Immortal. This … this Fire Spirit Fruit …"
Xiao Hua didn't answer Yao Xing. Instead, he raised his right hand and waved it at him. Then, he closed his eyes and let the tears fall and dry. As the tears fell, Xiao Hua gently chewed on the Fire Spirit Fruit.
The moment the Fire Spirit Fruit entered his mouth, he felt as dizzy as if he was drunk. However, after a short while, the dizziness suddenly disappeared, and an unprecedented comfort came from his head. That comfort flowed down from the top of his head like a tide and quickly spread throughout his body, turning into a sweet taste. The intense stimulation was enjoyable for Immortals. However, what Xiao Hua closed his eyes to savor was not the sweetness, but the memories that were deeply imprinted in his mind. Long ago, in the distant Dawn Rain Continent, in Yanyuan City, Xue Xue's crafty gaze shone like the morning stars in the night sky of memories, summoning the tears hidden in Xiao Hua's heart.
Yao Xing looked at Xiao Hua and didn't dare to say anything. He awkwardly put down the wine glass in his hand.
Xiao Hua took a deep breath and opened his eyes. The trace of reluctance in his eyes disappeared. He looked at Yao Xing and forced a smile. "Immortal friend Yao, I've tasted this immortal fruit before, but it's called the Heart Intoxication Fruit. It's been a long time since I've tasted something like this. When I first tasted it, it made me … it made me think of my former Immortal Companion … "
"I'm sorry …" Yao Xing hurriedly smiled apologetically. "I didn't think that this immortal fruit would make you sad, this …"
"Hehe …" Xiao Hua didn't like wine, but he took the initiative to pour a glass of wine. He smiled and said, "It's been a long time, there's no need to mention it. Come, Immortal friend Yao, Xiao offers you a toast."
"Yes, yes …" Yao Xing hurriedly raised his glass and said, "To our distant past."
Xiao Hua downed three glasses in a row. The longing in his heart gradually surged. Yao Xing enthusiastically invited Xiao Hua to try some immortal fruits. The two immortals talked more and more.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Hua looked around and asked curiously, "Immortal friend Yao, this should be a place of romance. Why did Concubine Ling ask you to wait here?"
"Hehe, Xiao Zhenren probably doesn't know, right?" Yao Xing said mysteriously. "Before Concubine Ling entered the royal family, she was already a Celestial Immortal here …"
"Celestial Immortal?" Xiao Huayu was a little dumbfounded.
"What?" Yao Xing heard Xiao Hua's surprise and laughed. "Immortal friend, do you find it unbelievable?"
"Well …" Xiao Hua hesitated for a moment, then shrugged and raised his glass. "There's nothing unbelievable about it. I just thought of a poem."
"What poem? Immortal friend, can you enlighten me? "Yao Xing raised his glass and asked.
"A pair of jade-like arms pillowed by a thousand people, a tiny bit of red lips tasted by ten thousand people!"
"A pair of jade-like arms pillowed by a thousand people …" Yao Xing pondered over each word and nodded. "Xiao Zhenren is very talented. What you said is very true. When Concubine Ying met Prince Zhao Yan, she said something similar. She even rejected him on the spot! "
"What did she reject?" Xiao Hua asked curiously.
"Prince Zhao Yan is the second son of the current king, Prince Qian Xuan. He has a prominent background …" Yao Xing explained. "He rarely comes to places like this Xuan Pavilion. However, it's said that when he first came here more than twenty lifetimes ago and saw Concubine Ying, he was stunned and fell in love with her at first sight. He expressed his feelings to Concubine Ying on the spot and invited her to become his concubine. Concubine Ying rejected him without hesitation, saying that she was of humble birth and didn't deserve him … "
"And then?" Xiao Hua couldn't help but ask when he saw Yao Xing stop and slowly taste a pearl-like immortal fruit.
"Prince Zhao Yan is also a romantic …" Yao Xing ate the immortal fruit and drank a cup of immortal wine before saying, "After that, he came to this Xuan Pavilion every Lantern Festival. Every time he came, he would personally go to Yuling Peak outside the capital city to pick Moonstar Flowers for Concubine Ying. Ahem, Xiao Zhenren, do you know why Prince Zhao Yan wanted to give Concubine Moonstar Flowers? "
Xiao Hua rolled his eyes and smiled. "I guess Concubine Ying's name has the word 'Moonstar Flower' in it?"
"Immortal friend, you're very talented!" Yao Xing couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up.
"Hey, I'm not that talented!" Xiao Hua smiled. "Immortal friend, you didn't mention Concubine Ying's name. If Concubine Ying only liked Moonstar Flowers, you wouldn't have to ask me this!"
"Yes!" Yao Xing nodded in admiration. "That's true! It's said that Prince Zhao Yan gave Concubine Ying hundreds of Moon Empresses in a row. Even King Qian Xuan and the Queen were alarmed. Every time Prince Zhao Yan came, there would be immortals waiting at the entrance of Xuan Pavilion. They wanted to see when Concubine Ying would agree! "
"Unfortunately, Concubine Ying wasn't moved even after Prince Zhao Yan gave her a whole generation of flowers! However, Prince Zhao Yan was relieved that Concubine Ying didn't agree. After he took Moonstar Flowers, Concubine Ying didn't appear at Xuan Pavilion's banquets! "
"Sigh …" Xiao Hua sighed and said, "Prince Zhao Yan really fell in love with Concubine Ying. Concubine Ying didn't want to make things difficult for Prince Zhao Yan. She was thinking for Prince Zhao Yan! Zhaoyan Prince should have reported this to his mother first … "
"Hiss …" Yao Xing sucked in a breath of cold air and said in surprise, "How did Xiao Zhenren know?"
Xiao Hua looked at Yao Xing. He knew that although Yao Xing was a Fallen Immortal, he was just an ordinary immortal. He hadn't been influenced by power, so he didn't understand the pros and cons. So he explained with a smile, "Concubine Ying was born as an immortal. How could she be Prince Zhao Yan's legal wife? Prince Zhao Yan must have lost his mind. He wanted to marry her immediately. Even if Concubine Ying was willing, she wouldn't dare to agree casually. This was giving the royal family a hard time … "
"That's right, that's right …" Yao Xing nodded desperately. "That's right, that's right!"
However, at this time, Xiao Hua came to a realization again. He shook his head and said, "This Xiao was wrong, you were also wrong. We were all deceived by Prince Zhaoyan. Prince Zhao Yan is smart. He knew that the royal family wouldn't agree, so he wanted to marry Concubine Ying as his legal wife. When the royal family compromised, he could take a step back and marry Concubine Ying as his concubine. That would make both of them look good. "
"Ah? That's … that's possible? " Yao Xing was dumbfounded. However, after thinking for a moment, he said dejectedly, "Xiao Zhenren is right. I understand now. Later, when the Queen saw that Prince Zhao Yan was causing a commotion, she finally issued an imperial edict for Concubine Ying to accept. The imperial edict was sent here when Prince Zhao Yan went to Yuling Peak to pick Moonstar Flowers. Prince Zhao Yan didn't know about it. When he came here, the phoenix carriage had already stopped at the door. Prince Zhao Yan was naturally ecstatic. However, Xiao Zhenren, do you know what happened next? "
Seeing Yao Xing's agitated expression, Xiao Hua shook his head in bewilderment. "How would I know?"
"Hehe …" Yao Xing laughed. "I thought you knew everything!"
Xiao Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "My previous guesses were all based on evidence. I could have guessed it with a little effort. This time, the imperial edict was issued, the phoenix carriage arrived, and I knew that Concubine Ying had already entered the prince's residence. How could I have guessed what happened? "
"Phew!" Yao Xing took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Zhenren couldn't have imagined that when he brought the Moonstar Flowers to Concubine Ying, Concubine Ying held the imperial edict in her hand and looked at Prince Zhao Yan affectionately. She said, 'My lord treats me with love as deep as the sea. I'll give you my honor in the future. I hate that I can't return your innocence when we meet again!' After saying that, Concubine Ying slapped herself on the head … "
"Ah!!" Xiao Hua cried out involuntarily, "She … she …"
Then, Xiao Hua suddenly realized that this was the Celestial Realm, not the mortal world. Concubine Ying didn't commit suicide. She gave up her immortal body!
As expected, Yao Xing's eyes shone with respect. "That's right. Concubine Ying resolutely gave up her immortal body and married Prince Zhao Yan with her pure immortal infant body!"
"Impressive, impressive!" Xiao Hua stood up and raised his cup. "Concubine Ying is indeed an extraordinary woman. To her determination, to Prince Zhao Yan and her love!"
"Cheers!" Yao Xing also raised his cup excitedly.
After the two immortals drank their cups, Yao Xing continued, "Prince Zhao Yan's pursuit of Concubine Ying not only caused a commotion in the city, there were also many rumors in the royal family. Concubine Ying's actions not only helped Prince Zhao Yan, but also won the respect of the royal family. Prince Qian Xuan personally conferred her the title of Concubine Ying! "
"The word 'Ying' doesn't just mean heroic, it also means immortal infant. Once this title was announced, families related to the royal family and immortals who wanted to curry favor with the royal family immediately moved to Wen Feng. Not only did they offer the immortal infant cultivation technique to Prince Zhao Yan, they also offered him the immortal infant's pills … "
"Immortal infant? Pills? Cultivation technique? " Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat. He thought of Zhao Fei and the other immortals he had met in Helan Que. Calculating the time, it was just right. "Could it be that they bid for the Immortal Infant cultivation method to give it to Prince Zhao Yan?"
