Chapter 443: The Destitute Goddess VS the Evil and Cruel Evil God 31
The bustle of Biluoyaotai gradually faded away, and Yu Yao and Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the clouds in the sky, thinking about what happened today, and frowned, "Ye Ming, you said that although the Yunlan Immortal Official came here on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven to congratulate him, I always feel that he has other purposes behind it."
Ye Ming stroked her hair gently, his eyes deep: "Humph, the old fox Tiandi has always been suspicious. He must have sent Yunlan to test our attitude. But it doesn't matter. As long as they don't provoke us, I won't take the initiative to cause trouble."
He thought of something and asked again, "By the way, Yao'er, are you really willing to resign from the position of Flower God of the Flower Realm?"
Yu Yao lowered her eyes slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Ye Ming, I am really willing to resign the position of Flower God. Now that we have a child, I just want to be at ease in this Biluo Yaotai, accompany you, and live a peaceful life. The affairs of the flower world are tedious and complicated, and I no longer have the heart to manage them. Besides, there must be someone more suitable to take on the position of Flower God in this world."
Ye Ming nodded slightly, his eyes full of tenderness and understanding: "Yao'er, since you have made up your mind, I will support you."
As for who will be the next Flower God after Yao'er resigns from the position of Flower God? He doesn't care, this is something that the Emperor of Heaven should worry about.
Heaven, Lingxiao Palace.
The immortal official Yunlan stood respectfully before the Emperor of Heaven and reported to him everything he had seen and heard at the Biluo Yaotai.
"Your Majesty, when I went to the Biluo Yaotai this time, the Yeming Evil God and the Goddess Yu Ji had a clear attitude. They only wanted to live in seclusion in the Biluo Yaotai and take care of the baby. After the child is born, the Goddess Yu Ji will resign from the position of Flower God. The Yeming Evil God also made it clear that as long as we don't provoke him, he will not cause trouble to the heaven."
Immortal Officer Yunlan lowered his head slightly and spoke clearly.
The Emperor of Heaven sat on the throne, frowning slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although Ye Ming is an evil god with an arrogant temperament, he is somewhat trustworthy. However, the goddess Yu Ji has resigned from the position of flower god, and the flower world cannot be left without management. Do you have any suitable candidate to recommend?"
Yunlan Fairy Officer thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, I dare not speak rashly about the affairs of the Flower Realm. But you can select someone with both virtue and talent from among the fairies in the Flower Realm, examine him, and then decide on the position of Flower God."
The Emperor nodded slightly: "You go and arrange this matter, and make sure to select the right person. Also, pay close attention to the movements of Biluo Yaotai, and report any abnormalities in a timely manner."
"I obey your order." Yunlan Immortal Official responded.
Afterwards, Immortal Official Yunlan stepped down and began to arrange the selection of the successor to the God of Flowers.
The Emperor of Heaven sat on the throne, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
Then he thought of Chu Yuan who was in seclusion to reflect on his mistakes, and called the immortal servant beside him.
With a thoughtful look on his face, he asked, "Lord Chu Yuan is in seclusion, how is his situation now?"
The immortal servant walked out, bowed respectfully, and responded, "Your Majesty, there has been no news of Lord Chu Yuan since he went into seclusion to reflect on his mistakes. However, there seems to be something unusual in recent days. According to the immortal who sweeps the Yunyuan Palace, the Lord Chu Yuan has not been in seclusion in the secret room all the time. He occasionally comes out to walk around, but he has not left Yunlan Palace. Sometimes he stares at a certain place in a daze, or stands alone in a certain place for most of the day, with a dazed look on his face, as if he is uneasy."
"Looking dazed? Feeling uneasy? Do you know why?"
The Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, probably because of the mortal girl Jiang Wanrou, or because he heard about the goddess Yu Ji and the evil god Ye Ming.
The immortal servant hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Your Majesty, I don't know much about it. I only heard that after a few immortals from Yunlan Palace were discussing the matter of the goddess Yu Ji while sweeping the courtyard that day, the Lord of the Gods never came out again."
The Emperor sighed slightly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you continue to pay attention to the situation of Lord Chu Yuan. If there are any changes, report it quickly."
The immortal servant took the order and withdrew.
In Yunyuan Palace, the heavy stone gate blocked out all the noise from the outside world, but it could not block out the surging thoughts in Lord Chu Yuan’s heart.
In the secret retreat room, a ray of faint light shone through the window lattice and onto his furrowed brows, making him look particularly solemn.
"Yu Ji...Ye Ming..."
Chu Yuan whispered. These two names were like sharp blades, cutting wounds in his heart that were difficult to heal.
The discussions of those little fairies kept echoing in his mind, making it impossible for him to maintain his inner peace.
"Three children..." He muttered to himself, feeling mixed emotions.
Once upon a time, he thought that his indifference and ruthlessness towards Yu Ji was natural and a necessary means to maintain the pure love in his heart.
But now, when she built a love nest with another man and even gave birth to a new life, Chu Yuan suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of loss and emptiness.
He thought of Wanrou again, and remembered how she knelt at the feet of an old man, acting coquettishly and trying hard to serve and please him.
Those scenes made him feel strange and disgusted, and he also felt a deep disgust from the bottom of his heart.
Even though he knew Wanrou had no choice, he still felt disgusted.
Chu Yuan paced slowly in the secret room, the pain and regret in his heart following him like a shadow.
His eyes fell on a painting on the wall. It was painted when he and Wanrou were enjoying the scenery together in the mortal world. Looking at it now, it only seemed ironic.
He waved his white robe lightly, and the scroll hanging on the wall disappeared like the wind.
Not only this painting, but everything about him and Jiang Wanrou was wiped clean by him without leaving a trace.
As these traces were erased, Chu Yuan felt relieved and no longer felt so uncomfortable and depressed.
Only then did he realize that he didn't love Wanrou that much, but he just yearned for and was obsessed with an ordinary life.
Once upon a time, he thought that the days he spent with Wanrou were the happiness he was pursuing.
But now it seems that it was just an illusory dream.
For this so-called "love", he hurt Yu Ji and missed the happiness that truly belonged to him.
The blue sky and the beautiful platform are shrouded in clouds and mist, just like a fairyland.
Yu Yao was half lying on a rocking chair under a peach tree, her belly slightly bulging. In her hand, she was holding a volume of a storybook collected from the Ming Dynasty, reading it with great interest.
At this moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Host, your second mission is completed."
She frowned slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "Mission completed? Isn't the second mission to make Lord Chu Yuan regret it and chase his wife to the crematorium from now on? But I didn't see Chu Yuan do anything. Isn't he still in seclusion in Yunlan Palace?"
The system chuckled and explained, "Host, you don't know that the mission is not determined solely by Chu Yuan's behavior, but also by his inner transformation. According to the system's monitoring, Lord Chu Yuan has completely let go of his obsession with Jiang Wanrou and realized his past mistakes. This deep self-reflection and regret is the key to completing the mission."
Yu Yao sneered, looking extremely disdainful.
"It's probably because that bastard Chu Yuan saw what happened to Jiang Wanrou in the fireworks place, and he felt disgusted and couldn't accept it, so he started to think of my good points."
The system laughed twice, "The host's guess is correct. Lord Chu Yuan did use the Sky-peeping Mirror to check on Jiang Wanrou. Jiang Wanrou has already reincarnated into a second life, and is still in the land of fireworks. What she has learned and done is naturally the means to please men. Lord Chu Yuan happened to see Jiang Wanrou and an old man doing that, and he was so stimulated that he couldn't stand it, so he remembered the goodness of the host."
After hearing what the system said, Yu Yao raised a mocking smile, "Humph, he has come to this day. But what does this have to do with me? I am living a happy life with Ye Ming now, and everything about him has nothing to do with me."
The system agreed with this statement, "Host is right. Since Lord Chu Yuan has made his choice, he must bear the consequences. As for you, host, you have Ye Ming's company and a child who is about to be born. Your future is bright. As for you, scum, get out of here as far as you can."
She nodded slightly, her eyes falling tenderly on her bulging belly.
Now that the second mission has been completed, once the baby in my belly is born, all the missions in this world will be completed.
And her wedding with Ye Ming doesn’t have to wait until a thousand years later. It can be held whenever they want.
However, she still wanted to see with her own eyes the look of regret on Chu Yuan's face.
With this in mind, I won’t rush to hold the wedding. I’ll wait until that bastard is out of jail before I take action. I’ll torture him to death…
