"So your status must be quite high?" Dugu Qianye had not expected Zi Xiao to have such an identity, "And how did you beco the Saint Heir of the Divine Temple initially?"
"Yong Xing is called Heavenly Venerable, I was sealed as a Venerable, and Mang Qianjun, they call him Dream King. The three of us were the first group of people created by the Creator God. As for why I appeared on the Xuanyue Continent," Zi Xiao smiled, kissed Dugu Qianye on the face and said, "That was entirely because of a ga..."
A ga?
Dugu Qianye looked at Zi Xiao, curiously asking, "You played a ga?"
"Yes," Zi Xiao nodded and said, "Originally, Qie Yue, Hei Zi, and I were too bored, feeling that life was the sa every day, being in high positions for too long had dulled so sensations. One day, Qie Yue suggested that we re-experience the process of slowly cultivating from scratch and undergoing training again, and then the three of us had a competition to see who would admit defeat first. So we all agreed, and Nian Hua arranged a sealing formation for us, that sealed our powers. Because of that formation, we all reverted back to being a few years old. Little Douzi and the others randomly opened a portal and threw us through it, and when we ca out, we were on the Xuanyue Continent. Not long after arriving, we encountered Shen Xingzong. Since Qie Yue and I were both natural spirit beasts, we naturally carried an aura of auspiciousness, and Shen Xingzong took us to the Divine Temple. Hei Zi, not liking the sanctimonious feel of Shen Xingzong, refused to join. Later, I beca the Saint Heir of the Divine Temple, Qie Yue beca the junior Hall Master, and Hei Zi founded the Secret Pavilion on his own. He insisted that I beco the Pavilion Master. Because we had agreed before the sealing that we could only rely on our own strength to solve any difficulties we encountered, and at that ti we also found that there was sothing wrong with the Divine Temple, I agreed. So I beca the Pavilion Master of the Secret Pavilion, Hei Zi was the second in command, and Qie Yue was the third boss. You more or less know the rest of the story."
"The three of you really are extraordinarily idle!" after hearing their story, Dugu Qianye asked, "With you gone, who deals with the affairs here?"
"Little Douzi and Nian Hua handle it. Actually, there’s not much to deal with, and normally I don’t care how they handle things," said Zi Xiao.
"That Nian Hua is Nian Hua’s brother, right?" Dugu Qianye recalled when Zi Xiao ntioned Nian Hua, thinking of Nian Hua herself.
"Actually, they’re not blood siblings. Nian Hua is a foster son to Nian Hua’s father, and is many decades older than Nian Hua, practically watched her grow up," Zi Xiao said, "Didn’t you ask why Nian Hua’s face looks unpleasant whenever marriage is ntioned? It’s because Nian Hua is in love with Nian Hua, but he feels they are siblings and hasn’t accepted her love. He also made himself age rapidly. This has deeply saddened Nian Hua, and it even caused so trouble back in the day. So, you see, Nian Hua looks young and beautiful, but Nian Hua has beco an old man with white hair."
"Doesn’t Nian Hua like Nian Hua? I heard that Nian Hua is very protective of her. There was soone who flirted with Nian Hua, and he was chased around the entire Nine Heavens Xuanyue realm, eventually having to leave and go to another realm," Dugu Qianye considered what she had heard from Little Douzi and the others.
In the days before when injuries kept her immobile and Zi Xiao was away for several days, Dugu Qianye lay bored in bed and asked Little Douzi to tell her about the things happening in the Nine Heavens Xuanyue realm. Despite the high cultivation levels in the Nine Heavens Xuanyue realm and the palace being full of n, their love for gossip could match that of won. Dugu Qianye asked Little Douzi to talk about the happenings there, and he casually provided vivid and detailed accounts.
And Nian Hua, being the one Dugu Qianye had the most contact with, was always a hot topic in the Nine Heavens Xuanyue realm. Little Douzi took two days to tell her about the notable events concerning Nian Hua, leaving Dugu Qianye deeply impressed.
"Nian Hua, he likes Nian Hua, right? Only, this liking, I’m not sure if it’s sibling affection or romantic love. In any case, neither of them has married," Zi Xiao replied.
Dugu Qianye nodded slightly, no longer talking about Nian Hua and the others. She felt the Chaos Qi in the air and, cradled in his embrace, looked down at the city below and asked, "How did you beco the king here?"
"This realm was originally mine." Zi Xiao gazed into the distance with eyes full of reminiscence, "When I decided to leave, the Creator God created this realm for , a place for to settle. At that ti, it was just alone in the entire realm. So, I went to find so people to join , and gradually it developed into what it is now."
"You, you and the Creator God..." Dugu Qianye suddenly felt sowhat uneasy, but she couldn’t pinpoint what the feeling was, nor did she know where to go with it.
"What’s wrong?" Zi Xiao, seeing Dugu Qianye’s expression, asked.
"Were you all created by the Creator God?" Dugu Qianye inquired.
Zi Xiao nodded and said, "Another woman and I were created first, followed by Mang Qianjun, Yong Xing, and Rong Xiu. I still rember the mont I opened my eyes and saw her gentle smile towards ; then I heard the cries of a small infant beside us. Later, when she and I could walk, we would often follow the Creator God everywhere. When I grew up and prepared to leave the place where we lived, the Creator God created this world for ."
As Zi Xiao described, Dugu Qianye seed to faintly see an image of a dignified and majestic woman followed by a boy and a girl. The girl acted spoiled towards her, and the woman picked her up to comfort her, while the boy folded his arms in front of his chest, watching the two.
Soon after, the image showed more children appearing behind the two, forming a noisy and lively crowd!
Then the scene shifted, the boy had grown into a man, telling the woman he wanted to leave. She nodded in agreent, promising him a gift. As Dugu Qianye tried to see the images more clearly, they disappeared.
"Little Yeye, what’s the matter? Staring into the sky and daydreaming?" Zi Xiao watched Dugu Qianye staring blankly into the sky, her eyes unblinking, and asked.
With the visions gone, Dugu Qianye ca back to her senses. Hearing Zi Xiao’s words, she said, "I know all of you, but why haven’t I heard about the girl who was created with you?"
"Hen Xi, you an? She’s no longer here. After the Creator God passed away, everyone was distressed, but Hen Xi took it the hardest. She was always the closest to the Creator God, so one day when she said she was going to search for the reincarnation of the Creator God, no one was surprised. Until the end of her life, she never found it. Perhaps disillusioned, she chose not to reconstruct her physical body and died a natural death. Before she passed away, she said, ’I’ve searched for so many years and haven’t found her; perhaps after I die, I’ll et her.’" Zi Xiao explained.
"Hen Xi?" Dugu Qianye repeated the na in a murmur, searching her mind for a long ti without any recollection. Suddenly, she had a thought: Could Ruyan be Hen Xi?!
