Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Looking at the figure in front of him, Siming could only catch up quickly.

On the thirteenth floor of the heavenly palace.

A common woman in coarse clothes was running wildly on the palace road. Her inky black hair swayed like seaweed with her quick steps. Her full forehead was covered with sweat. Her eyes showed panic and fear. Her face was pale, and the hands holding up the hem of her skirt were trembling.

"Girl." Siming, who possessed magical powers, ran beside her without even taking a breath.

Seeing Fan Nu's panic, he sighed and advised, "Why don't we just wait for the Emperor to come back? Look... running around aimlessly isn't a good idea, don't you think?"

The fairies following behind the two of them were also running all the way.

Jiang Ruan had only one thought in his mind at this moment: "...Mr. Cen..."

"Miss." Siming ran in front of Jiang Ruan, running backwards, with an expression of pity, saying: "Don't mention this name in the future. It will do you no good."

But Jiang Ruan couldn't listen.

As they were running, a fairy loudly reminded them, "Si Ming Xingjun... ahead!"

Siming stopped, not daring to offend Jiang Ruan, and was allowed to run past him with his hands and feet tied.

"Girl! Don't go any further!" Seeing the scene behind him, Siming's heart was about to jump out!

Jiang Ruan stopped and gasped for breath. The wind from the cliff that stretched as far as the eye could see made her hair flutter in all directions. Her beautiful eyes, filled with tears, were filled with sorrow.

She is not stupid.

From what Siming just said, I could guess her current situation.

The place where Jiang Ruan was standing was a natural chasm, a cliff-like crack in the thirteenth heaven that had existed since the beginning of the world.

On the other side of the natural barrier is the boundless Ruoshui River, which flows down rapidly and drives the water resources of the entire Heavenly Palace.

"girl!"

Siming stretched out his hand, really panicking: "Let's talk it out..."

"I want to go back to the mortal world." Jiang Ruan took a step back and was about to reach the edge of the chasm.

A woman, shrouded in moist vapor, with her hair disheveled by the wind and her clothes fluttering in the wind, stood on the edge of a huge chasm. She looked incredibly small, but her beautiful face showed deep stubbornness and persistence.

At the edge of the Weak Water, her immortal power was imprisoned. Fearing that she would fall in, Siming shouted, "Return!"

"Go back! I'll take you back to the human world!"

As he spoke, he took a tentative step forward and extended his hand to Jiang Ruan: "Come here first, we have to survive before we can return to the human world, right?"

Jiang Ruan remained unmoved: "But are you lying to me again?"

"No," Siming's kind face was full of seriousness: "I can swear."

As he said this he raised three fingers to swear.

The situation has changed. If he doesn't send this girl back to the human world now, she might really jump off the chasm, and then he will definitely be kicked down by the Emperor!

Before he could swear, the mortal woman brought back by the emperor relaxed her expression and fainted from weakness.

……

"An elixir that can cleanse one's mortal bones and allow one to embark on the path to immortality?"

In the rich spiritual energy of the Ten-Mile Peach Forest, Zhe Yan, the first phoenix in the world, sat at a stone table. He looked across at his old friend whom he hadn't seen in thousands of years, and a casual smile crossed his elegant face. "If you really want to make a mortal immortal, why bother coming to me for medicine? Wouldn't it be better to just give me some divine power?"

The man with white hair and purple robes, who looked like an immortal in a painting of snow on a mountaintop, said coldly, "My divine power is too overbearing. It is safer to use the elixir first and work it out slowly."

Zheyan was stunned.

He looked at Donghua in front of him and asked, "Are you really not kidding me?"

Today, he has a visitor in the Ten-Mile Peach Forest. The former ruler of heaven and earth, Emperor Donghua, comes to ask him for a pill that can extend the life of mortals, make their appearance permanent, and transform them into immortals.

At first Zheyan thought he was joking, but now, from his tone, he knew it was not a joke.

Donghua's expression remained unchanged: "When have I ever laughed with you?"

Zheyan frowned, as if sensing something. The peach blossoms in the peach forest began to fall. He advised, "Donghua, don't forget that you wiped your name off the Three Lives Stone with your own hands."

"Besides, she is just a mortal woman."

"A fraction of your age is enough to be someone's ancestor."

"I know. It's not as good as your Three Lives Stone, which has a name but no fate." Donghua did not comment. Just looking at his expression, it was clear that he didn't listen.

Zhe Yan: “…”

It's really heartbreaking.

Knowing that persuasion was useless, Zheyan returned to the cabin, took out a bottle of elixir and placed it in front of Donghua, saying in a deep voice, "This is the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Taking it will cleanse away your mortal bones. With enough practice, you will be able to ascend to immortality."

Taking the porcelain bottle in his hand and examining it, Donghua asked, "Does it hurt when you take it?"

"...No." Zhe Yan asked leisurely, "But are you sure that mortal woman wants to become an immortal? Forcing her to do something like that would be beneath her dignity."

Donghua didn't answer, but stood up. "I'll take it from you this time. I'm leaving."

Looking at a streak of light flying towards the sky, Zheyan, standing in the peach blossom forest, showed a worried look on his face: Donghua is infatuated with a mortal girl, and the Heavenly Palace is likely to be in chaos.

But he was also curious. Donghua was born out of a stone and had been cold-hearted since childhood, never moved by any immortals or demons. How could he be so in love with a mortal woman that he would even bow his head and ask him for elixirs for her?

You should know that Shaoyang Jun of Donghua Zifu is the one who cares the most about face.

……

"Woke up once?" Donghua, who had returned to the Taichen Palace on the 13th floor of heaven, listened to Siming's report, and the look in his eyes changed slightly.

"Yes." Siming answered cautiously, "Miss Jiang was quite emotional and ran all the way to the edge of the chasm. In order to comfort her, Xiaoxian had no choice but to agree to send her back to the mortal world. Unexpectedly, Miss Jiang fainted again as soon as she relaxed."

"Can you summon the Medicine King to come and treat me?"

"I've checked. The Medicine King said the girl fainted because she hadn't had a single drop of water since waking up, and because of the emotional agitation, she became physically exhausted."

As the two were talking, Donghua pushed open the door of Jiang Ruan's bedroom, walked through the curtains adorned with pearls and jade to the bedside, and gently lifted the curtain with his bony hands. He sat down on the edge of the bed and looked down at the woman, whose brows were still furrowed in her sleep.

She was indeed frightened.

The ice in Donghua's eyes melted slightly, and a hint of warmth appeared between his brows. He reached out to test the temperature of her forehead.

When the back of his hand was about to touch her forehead, he realized that this action was inappropriate, paused, and finally withdrew his hand.

This scene made Sima Ming, who was standing outside the palace gate, marvel. Not only did the expression on the emperor's face no longer look like stone, but even his domineering and self-willed temperament had changed?

You must know that Emperor Donghua has a domineering temperament.

The god who once unified the world by killing to stop killing is definitely not someone who would consider others.

Being able to do this for this girl is unprecedented.

Most gods are arrogant. Even if they don't look down on mortals, they won't take them seriously.

In their eyes, the life of mortals is like a mayfly that is born in the morning and dies in the evening, a drop in the ocean that is fleeting.

This girl named Jiang Ruan is the first mortal to be brought to the Heavenly Palace since the creation of the Heavenly Realm, not to mention that the one who brought her here is the Emperor.

only……

Sima Ming remembered the fate of this girl he had checked. According to the fate book, she already had someone she loved. The Emperor was... forcibly breaking them up.

Thinking of this, Siming sighed again.

He found that he sighed as many times today as he sighed in a year.

While Siming was lost in thought, a fairy came to report: "Lord Siming, the Third Prince wishes to see the Emperor."

Siming waved his hand and said, "Welcome the Third Prince into the main hall and entertain him. I will report to the Emperor."

The Third Prince Lian Song has a good relationship with the Emperor, and this visit is probably on the orders of the Emperor.

Realizing Lian Song's intention, Siming bowed and saluted towards the hall: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince is here to visit you."

Donghua stood up and instantly appeared in front of Siming. He handed the porcelain bottle to the fairy maid waiting outside the bedroom and said, "When she wakes up, help her take this medicine."

"Yes." The fairy took it respectfully.
