Holding the script, I want to give up.

"We...have known each other for ten thousand years!"

"We first met during a great battle between gods and demons at Buzhou Mountain! At that time, I was the God of War in the divine realm, and you were the spirit beast mount chosen for me by the Emperor!"

Su Li recounted the awkwardness of their initial meeting, then approached Shangguan Zitong and sat down in the passenger seat next to her.

"...That's truly my great honor!"

Shangguan Zitong gave a forced smile. You could already hear her back teeth grinding together so loudly, she was practically gritting them to pieces.

Damn it, why?! Just because it was born earlier than me and is more powerful?! Why am I a mount?! If she could go back in time, she would definitely supervise that Azure Phoenix to cultivate diligently, otherwise it would become someone else's mount!

"That Demon Lord absorbs the demonic power of other demons to enhance his own power, so he can fight me."

"Later, evil spirits caused trouble. We should have been evenly matched, but... after the evil energy entered my body, I lost my mind. The demon lord took advantage of my unpreparedness and tried to kill me."

"You took the opportunity to pull me into a void; that must be a secret technique unique to your Azure Phoenix clan."

Su Li spoke very seriously, and his words seemed to unlock his long-sealed memories.

"Was the battle heavily damaged?"

"And then what? Why did I...?"

Shangguan Zitong wanted to ask why she fell in love with him, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

"Well... due to the presence of evil spirits, both the gods and demons suffered heavy losses, and later they ceased hostilities to investigate the origin of the evil spirits."

"Within that space, I attacked you like a madman, forcing you to take on a human form."

"After you transformed, you hypnotized me, kicked me a few times, and then hopped and skipped back to the God Realm and delivered me to the Emperor."

Su Li looked at her and smiled gently.

"Well, it really is a case of 'no fight, no friendship'!"

So, has your gray hair always been like this since birth?

Shangguan Zitong grabbed a strand of his hair and examined it closely. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the strand of hair was white and shiny, as if it were coated with a layer of light silver light, making it look exceptionally soft.

"Holy crap, in my world, we don't have the technology to dye it like that! I'm a little envious."

Shangguan Zitong wished she could take his white hair and put it on her own head!

"Yes, you have it too, you just haven't noticed it yet."

"Later, when I saw that you had gained sentience, I took you back to my temple to cultivate, which is the temple you are in now."

Shangguan Zitong couldn't help but interject, "Then why don't you find another mount?"

"Don't those Azure Dragon and White Tiger symbols look incredibly powerful?"

She had already started fantasizing about what it would be like to have a mount; she would be incredibly cool and instantly become a heartthrob!

"Having you is enough!"

“I prefer quiet, so for ten thousand years, this temple has only housed you, me, and a dozen or so attendants.”

"My friends all died in the last great war between gods and demons. That war was so brutal that it led to the peaceful situation we have today."

Su Li got up and walked towards the outside of the hall, sighing. Shangguan Zitong also got up and followed him.

"If that's the case, then my combat strength is so weak, so why didn't I die?"

Shangguan Zitong jumped in front of her to block him and asked.

"Don't ask anymore, it's good that you're back!"

Su Li's eyes darted around, unsure how to answer her question.

"Alright then, I'll explore this world on my own! Don't come with me!"

Relying on her body's instincts, Shangguan Zitong leaped into the air and flew towards the direction of the Palace of Fate.

Su Li did not stop her, but returned to the cave.

"Wuhu~ I never thought I would have wings and be able to fly!"

Shangguan Zitong flew freely in the sky, passing through the forest and gliding across the lake, feeling completely at ease!

"Is this... still me?"

She gazed at her reflection in the lake as if she were looking at a stranger.

A pair of blue-green wings, beautiful though they seem to be missing their best feathers! Her hair is a black-blue gradient of wavy curls, and I must say, it's quite fashionable! There's a white and red nine-tailed mark on her forehead, and faint blue phoenix feathers under her eyes!

"I admit, although it looks great, it doesn't seem like me!"

"Help! Who am I?!"

Shangguan Zitong scratched her head and simply got up and walked on the lake. The slight chill under her feet made her take off again.

......

In the Hall of Fate, Shangguan Zitong flew to the front of the hall, conjured a pair of shoes, casually put them on, and walked into the hall.

Is the God of Destiny here?

Seeing no one respond, she relied on her vague memory of the star system she was in. Before she even stepped into the hall, a figure attacked her!

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on this forbidden area!"

The man, dressed in a striking red robe, was incredibly alluring! His androgynous appearance left Shangguan Zitong stunned, causing her to forget to fight back and fall to the ground!

"Ahem...excuse me, I saw that no one was here, so I just followed my instincts and entered this palace."

"If this disturbs you, I'll leave immediately!"

As Shangguan Zitong spoke, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and shakily got up to leave, casually wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Since I was the one who offended them first, and I couldn't really defend myself after being hit, I could only leave.

"Xiao Zitong! You're back!"

"I'm sorry, my old eyes are failing me!"

After recognizing the person who had come from her, the man ran over to check on her injuries, treated her wounds, and gave her an awkward smile, looking as if he wanted to slap himself twice.

"you know me?"

Are you the God of Destiny?

Shangguan Zitong wasn't sure if the person in front of her was Si Ming; he didn't seem to match her vague impression of him.

His face was more beautiful than a woman's, yet he possessed a masculine charm! Even the slightest gesture exuded a natural allure, more captivating than a vixen. Shangguan Zitong could only describe him as utterly audacious.

"Yes, of course I know you! We're good friends!"

"I am Si Yuan, the Star Lord of Destiny! Don't you remember me? Then this old man is truly heartbroken."

Si Yuan feigned sadness, wiping away non-existent tears from his face.

"I'm sorry, I've forgotten a lot of things, but I'll remember them."

"This must contain my memories, may I take a look?"

Among the myriad galaxies, Shangguan Zitong saw a star drifting towards her. It felt warm and familiar, and she felt a strange sense of déjà vu. It seemed she often came here to drown her sorrows in alcohol when she was feeling down. But why was she unhappy?

"Sure, but you'll need something from your very origin to unlock this memory viewing star."

"You seem to have lost it! It's probably left over at Silver Mountain!"

"I don't know the specifics either. Why don't you ask the Divine Venerable Qingli?"

Seeing that she seemed to have genuinely lost her memory, Si Yuan stopped teasing her and patiently explained the situation to her.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

"I have another question: why is this star so dim?"

Shangguan Zitong looked at the bright stars all around, but her own star seemed to have lost its luster.

"Maybe it's because of you that I came back."

Si Yuan stammered, as he wasn't very good at lying! He still felt a little guilty about deceiving Shangguan Zitong.

"is it?"

"I'll be going now. I'll come back to check it out when I find it! I'll treat you to some good drinks then!"

Shangguan Zitong pressed closer to him, and seeing his reaction, she understood immediately that they were definitely hiding something from her. She didn't intend to press him, nor did she know why she had said she would bring him wine. She flew out of the palace and headed towards the temple where Feng Xi resided.

"Feng Xi, come out!"

Shangguan Zitong flew to the front of the hall, lashing out her magical whip at the immortals who were blocking her way. She didn't use any real force, merely knocking them to the ground so they couldn't get up and could no longer stop her.

"How dare you! Who dares to cause such a disturbance here?"

A beautiful woman dressed in a vermilion red, wide-sleeved, flowing fairy dress stepped forward in response.

"Give me back the Azure Phoenix Feather that belongs to me!"

Shangguan Zitong lashed out with his whip without any hesitation, each strike vicious! It was as if the person opposite her was her enemy; she didn't know what was wrong with her. Seeing someone familiar stirred up a mix of emotions within her!

"You're not dead!"

Feng Xi covered her mouth in surprise!

"Then take it by your own merit!"

She yawned and stretched, conjured up Shangguan Zitong's original essence, threw it at Shangguan Zitong, and then quickly retrieved it.

"My life and death are none of your business."

"You! You steal people's things and you still think you're right?"

Shangguan Zitong got no response and angrily bared her teeth at Feng Xi.

"Wow, that's really unprecedented! That person isn't following behind you!"

Seeing that there was no trace of that person behind her, Feng Xi conjured wings and flew upwards. Her phoenix bloodline also gave Shangguan Zi a certain degree of suppression!
