She became a god

"I know nothing about the past between Your Highness Diqing and Princess Qingluan. I misspoke just now, and I apologize to you."

Ye Qingzhou scratched his head, thinking to himself, "The other party is just a man, and he was once innocently rejected in his engagement. How can you bring fiction into reality and even make jokes in front of the real person?"

So she took out a drop of Everlasting Dew and said, "Please accept my apology, Your Majesty Longyan."

"The Evergreen Dew is the dew on the Evergreen Tree that has existed for ten thousand years. However, with the depletion of spiritual energy, the Evergreen Tree is on the verge of extinction. As far as I know, most of the existing Evergreen Trees have owners. Where did Princess Qingzhou obtain it?"

"I saw it in a deep mountain forest. It was an old tree that was about to die. Only a few drops of dew on the tree were full of spiritual power, so I collected them. Later I learned that this was the Everlasting Dew."

"I see. Then I'll accept your apology."

Long Yan smiled slightly. In fact, he didn't quite believe Ye Qingzhou's words, but since the other party was apologizing and giving him gifts, and wasn't trying to harm him, why bother to expose him?

Perhaps it was the beautiful moonlight, or perhaps it was the harmless little panda in front of him, but Longyan felt a desire to confide in someone.

Are you curious about my relationship with Qingluan?

Ye Qingzhou nodded instinctively, then quickly shook his head. "I'm not curious! You don't need to tell this outsider about your private affairs."

What exactly happened between this golden couple back then? Ugh! If I hadn't been born before Qingluan was crippled, I would know all about this domineering CEO abandoning his fiancé for his beloved innocent girl!

"But I'm curious."

"what?"

[Brother, you're one of the demons involved. What are you curious about? Perhaps you're curious why your fiancée changed her mind? Well, you're not the one who falls from the sky for true love. No matter how outstanding you are, the protagonist will only fall in love with their destined true love.]

"I'm curious about your reaction after hearing the story."

"Curious about me?"

[Waaah, don't be curious about me, I'm just a random NPC, I don't want to get involved in romantic dramas. Following the usual script, Longyan contacted me, so wouldn't I just become a tool for a villainous supporting character?]

[Speaking of which, why didn't I think of this before? Since this world already has two main characters, Lin Jingchuan and Wen Xichun, could there be a third?]

[With Princess Qingluan's background and romantic history, could she also be a protagonist in a novel?]

[Waaah, why didn't I read yuri novels before? If I had, I could have been sure that Princess Qingluan was the main character!]

[Host, please rest assured, Princess Qingluan is not a target for romance.]

The long-absent 011 suddenly went online, finally bringing Ye Qingzhou some good news.

[That Longyan and that... Lanxin... is that their name? Are they the two I'm trying to win over?]

No, I'll let you know if any new romanceable characters appear.

Ye Qingzhou was relieved, but Long Yan had already started to speak.

"We've known each other since we were little, and we've always been childhood sweethearts."

Seeing the message from the Empress Dowager on the jade slip asking her to spend more time with Long Yan, Ye Qingzhou suppressed the urge to interrupt Long Yan.

"Our mother arranged our marriage while we were still in our eggs. As soon as I hatched, I knew that the little girl in green was my wife, the one I would spend my life with. Every demon around me told me that when I grew up, I would marry Qingluan."

[Sigh! Arranged marriages since childhood vs. free love—it seems the romance storylines in novels are just these few recurring themes.]

"When Qingluan and I turned one hundred, we hand-carved a pair of jade pendants together. She personally carved 'Phoenix Crying in Qishan' for me, and I carved 'Dragon Traveling the World' for her. We exchanged tokens of love in front of the patriarchs of the Dragon and Phoenix clans. She said that she would come back to take me after she slayed the ferocious beasts from the foreign land."

[Here it comes! This ferocious beast from another world is sure to be a key turning point in the story.]

"However, after she slew the ferocious beast from the alien realm, she brought back a cultivator from the underworld. She said that she loved that fellow Daoist Lan Xin from the underworld and asked me to grant them her wish."

[Emperor Longyan, stop talking, I think you're about to break.]

“I’m really heartbroken. Ah Luan used to only love me. But after she came back, she wanted me to let her be with another woman. How is that any different from killing me?”

[Vocal! Dude, life is precious, don't let love cloud your judgment and lead you to suicide!]

“I do not agree to annul the engagement, nor do my mother, the Queen and the Demon Lord.”

[In novels, the protagonists always follow this process when breaking off an engagement. In reality, the Dragon and Phoenix clans are well-matched. Long Yan and Qing Luan are a handsome and talented couple with similar cultivation levels. The Dragon clan has a strong reproductive capacity, and their union with Qing Luan, whose bloodline has a high degree of ancestral attunement, will surely produce a young heir for the Phoenix clan. This would further strengthen the relationship between the two clans. If I were the clan leader, I wouldn't agree to break off the engagement either.]

"I've loved Qingluan for so many years, how can I back out? For her sake, I was even willing to let Lanxin be my concubine, but she still wants to break off the engagement with me!"

Longyan, I absolutely love you!

Although there is indeed a rule in the demon realm that a princess can take one principal husband and one concubine, most princesses, unless their relationship with their principal husband is particularly bad, generally will not take a concubine.

A husband as magnanimous as Longyan, who voluntarily offered to become a concubine to his wife, is extremely rare in the entire demon realm.

"Tell me, how can a demon change so much? She was the one who said under the flowers and moon that she would not marry anyone but me and that she would never take another woman in her life, but she was also the one who resolutely broke off the engagement in front of all the demons, making me a laughing stock for a time."

Ugh! Relationships are so unreliable! Luckily, I don't get involved in them.

"Emperor Longyan, why don't you switch to cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness?"

[In novels about supporting characters turning evil, they all achieve great power after severing all emotions and desires. Longyan Diqing's starting point is really suitable for switching to the path of ruthlessness and ascending to immortality.]

"The Way of Heartlessness? But I can't forget her."

[Tsk tsk, a devoted man and a heartless woman.]

[No, Princess Qingluan is quite affectionate towards Lan Xin. For Lan Xin's cousin, she didn't hesitate to expose her whereabouts and single-handedly rescue her sister-in-law.]

"Ye Qingzhou, do you have any way to make me forget her?"

"The potion of forgetfulness".

"I don't want to drink it; the potion of forgetfulness has side effects."

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Completely forgetting a relationship always comes at a price.

"If your idea is good, I'll give you ten thousand high-grade spirit stones."

[The epitome of wealth and prosperity!]

Ye Qingzhou had a sudden inspiration. "There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one? Di Qing, find another demon to fall in love with. If that demon doesn't work out, find the next one. Try a few more, and you'll eventually find the right one."

Longyan was shocked. "Are you teaching me how to be a scumbag?"

"No, I just wanted you to try more things out. I didn't expect you to seamlessly transition between relationships or date several at the same time. Anyway, you're a Dragon Clan Imperial Minister, and you won't stay home all the time. You have plenty of time to date first."

A wealthy and beautiful woman like Longyan would probably have many suitors lining up to pursue her.

"So who do you think I should try contacting first?"

"do not know."

[It's not like I want to be in a relationship, how would I know who to date?]

"Ye Qingzhou, why don't you talk to me first?"
