It's him!
The God Chongming!
In her previous life, when she was still a little green caterpillar, during a Hundred - Flower Banquet, she clung to a peach tree.
Just like today, Chongming, exuding an otherworldly aura, suddenly stepped into her line of sight. His unparalleled beauty was like an arrow from Cupid, piercing straight into her heart.
So engrossed was she that she lost her footing and fell straight from the branch.
With a plop, she landed in Chongming's wine cup.
When he fished her out with a peach twig, she had already gulped down several mouthfuls of the celestial nectar. Her head was spinning, and everything before her eyes was blurry. She vaguely saw Chongming smiling at her.
"How can you be so good - looking?"
She lay on the peach twig, looking at Chongming, and babbled a lot to him.
But at that time, she hadn't transformed into a human form. She was just an ordinary little green caterpillar, so Chongming couldn't hear a single word she said.
Even to this day, the little green caterpillar still remembered that day when Chongming had smiled and asked her, "Are you drunk on the spring scenery?"
By then, she was already dead drunk. Instead of getting angry, Chongming gently placed her back on the tree.
The little green caterpillar rested her chin on her hand, pulling herself out of the happy memories of the past. Looking at Chongming in front of her, she was once again dazed by his good looks.
In the blink of an eye, Chongming had already sensed that the little baby on the bed had a phoenix beast form. But a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The phoenix clan was known for their domineering nature. The innocent and infatuated look on her face would never appear on a phoenix, not even a young one.
The little green caterpillar was dirty. While staring blankly at Chongming, her fingers kept twirling the belt around her waist. Before long, she had tied a knot that couldn't be undone.
"Oops!"
She tugged too hard and rolled off the couch. With a thud, she landed on the ground.
Ouch! It hurt so much!
The little baby wrinkled her features and reached for the back of her head.
The accompanying celestial servants were charmed by her adorable look and covered their lips with their long sleeves, chuckling softly.
"Two of you go and help her wash up and change into clean clothes," Chongming ordered.
"Yes, Your Honor," the celestial servants bowed and picked up the little baby, then left.
Not long after, a little baby with twin buns came skipping back, holding a pure - white dress.
"Fairy! Slow down!"
The celestial servants rushed after her, arms outstretched, afraid that she might stumble and fall.
The little green caterpillar just wanted to be with the handsome god. Seeing his figure, she couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms.
The cold and fragrant aura enveloped her. The little green caterpillar closed her eyes blissfully and rubbed against Chongming's clothes.
Chongming was sitting in front of the low table, reading a book. Seeing her flail her short legs and scramble up his sleeve, he simply picked her up and placed her on his lap.
"Little one, what do you want?"
The little baby looked like a soft steamed bun. Unable to resist, Chongming reached out his finger and poked her chubby cheek.
The little green caterpillar let out a yelp and grabbed Chongming's hand.
Woohoo! The handsome guy had just poked her face!
"Daddy!"
The sticky baby voice fell, and both the little green caterpillar and Chongming were stunned.
Even as composed as Chongming, he almost lost his cool for a moment.
Soon, he figured it out. It must be the imprinting effect. The little phoenix had been captured right after hatching, and the first person she saw was him. No wonder she mistook him for her daddy.
The little green caterpillar was roaring inside. She was in a complete mess.
What the hell! What she wanted to call was "Handsome God"! Why did it come out as "Daddy"!
It seemed that since her body was that of a baby, the words she said were forced to match.
The little green caterpillar was extremely depressed. She slumped her head and slumped against Chongming.
"From now on, your name will be Yaohua," Chongming calculated with his fingers and gave the little phoenix a name according to the celestial genealogy.
"Yao... Hua." The little green caterpillar pronounced the name slowly, beaming with joy. "I have a name! My name is Yaohua!"
Yaohua danced with glee. Even Chongming seemed to be touched by her liveliness. A few chuckles echoed in the once - cold Cangling Hall.
It wasn't appropriate to keep the young phoenix here forever. Chongming summoned the celestial servants. "Send Yaohua to the territory of the phoenix clan."
Yaohua was taken aback. She wrinkled her nose and hugged Chongming's arm tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. "Daddy! I don't want to leave you!"
Chongming was helpless. "Little one, I'm not your daddy. Go with this sister. She'll take you to find your daddy."
"No!" Yaohua's milk - like voice was tinged with grievance. "Do you hate me and want to get rid of me? Woohoo!"
The little baby clung to Chongming, and the celestial servants didn't know what to do. They could only look at Chongming for help.
"Your Honor..."
As soon as the celestial servant opened her mouth, Yaohua raised her voice and nuzzled against Chongming's ear, whining.
"Fine," Chongming waved his hand.
The celestial servants bowed and retreated. Chongming poked Yaohua's hair whorl, his voice tinged with a hint of a smile. "Stop crying."
Not good at comforting others, he could only lower his voice as much as possible.
Yaohua sobbed with her head down. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the celestial servants had moved far away. Then she suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were as red as a little rabbit's. She tentatively asked, "You... you're not sending me away anymore?"
Chongming looked down. Yaohua's little chubby hand was tightly clutching his robe. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He couldn't get rid of her. He was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, this little one would start shedding tears again.
He nodded slightly. Yaohua stopped crying and smiled. She stood on tiptoe, hugged Chongming's face, and gave him a smooch.
"Thank you, Daddy!" Yaohua stared at Chongming, giggling foolishly.
Daddy it is. As long as she could stay by the handsome god's side, it was okay. Hehe.
From that moment on, a little shadow followed Chongming everywhere.
Wherever he went, Yaohua would trot after him.
Helpless, Chongming had no choice but to take her with him when handling official business.
So in the God's Hall, there was such a scene: the aloof God Chongming was closely followed by a little chick, no, a skinny little phoenix.
Yaohua could transform freely between human and beast forms. She disliked her baby form and didn't want Chongming to treat her like a child. So most of the time in public, she appeared in her beast form.
Maybe she had exhausted her divine power from transforming into a human. Yaohua yawned. Before long, she felt tired and sleepy.
Chongming was concentrating on reading books at the table. Yaohua crawled over, climbed up his clothes to his nape, fluffed up her sparse feathers, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep warmly.
Chongming made a magic gesture and sent a message to the phoenix clan.
"The newly - born little phoenix is in the Cangling Hall. Come quickly. - Chongming."
The phoenix clan was overjoyed. Their little one hadn't been eaten by the prison bird and was still alive!
"It must be the God Chongming who saved our youngest brother!"
"Maybe it's our youngest sister!"
Upon receiving Chongming's message, the phoenix clan immediately rushed to the God's Hall in the Heavenly Palace.
On the way, Feng Jing was the first to notice something strange.
"Look over there!"
In the west, the celestial phenomenon was extremely abnormal. The nine stars were slowly gathering together!
