As Yaohua opened her mouth, everyone's gazes turned towards her.
Xunhuan retorted without hesitation, "Yaohua, as the head of a clan, you surely won't keep God Chongming by your side just for your personal feelings, right?"
Yaohua was rendered speechless. She indeed had no position to dissuade them, for Chongming was an ancient god, and it was his duty to protect the mortal world.
The problem was that Chongming's spiritual power was now sealed along with the demonic qi, and he couldn't use a bit of it. In this state, going to fight the demons was simply courting death!
She was extremely worried about Chongming's condition but couldn't tell these people the truth. So she thought for a moment and said, "I just think the time is too tight. How about postponing it for a few days until Chongming recovers from his injuries?"
But Xunhuan said, "The longer we delay, the more suffering hundreds of common people will endure every minute. How can you bear it?"
She looked at Yaohua hiding behind Chongming, and the jealousy in her eyes seemed ready to burst out. It was obvious to anyone that she wasn't really worried about the common people. She just couldn't stand to see Chongming and Yaohua together and wanted to separate them as soon as possible.
Yaohua couldn't help but retort, "The offerings of incense in the world are also divided by regions. Each god has their own exclusive territory. Henan Prefecture and its surrounding areas are the territory of Chongming and my Phoenix Clan. We've protected this place well. How come in your mouth, it seems like we've done nothing?"
It was actually the God - Lord who had failed to do their duty and even let the enemy in!
Xunhuan was at a loss for words but still stubbornly said, "Those with great abilities should do more. Are you just going to focus on your own territory and let the people in other places suffer? How can you still call yourselves gods?"
"If you're so great, why don't you go yourself?" Yaohua sneered when she saw Xunhuan's sophistry.
Xunhuan said matter - of - factly, "I'm just an insignificant person. I won't be of much use. So..."
Yaohua directly interrupted her, "Since you know you're insignificant, talk less!"
Xunhuan's eyes instantly turned red. She looked at Chongming aggrievedly, trying to get him to stand up for her, "Xunhuan knows her abilities are limited, but I don't know where I've offended the fairy that she insults me like this."
Yaohua pointed at herself, "Is this an insult? You probably haven't heard worse. If you're so noble, you can just die on the battlefield. No one will stop you. Instead, we'll even erect a monument for you after your death."
She said with a smile, "At that time, I'll surely send flowers to your tomb every year. How do you like that, Princess Xunhuan?"
Xunhuan was speechless, and tears rolled down her face. Of course, she wouldn't go to the battlefield to seek death. She still had to live to become Chongming's wife!
The two were at odds with each other. Chongming protected Yaohua and remained silent with his head down.
Tu Yang came out to mediate, "Everyone, calm down. Let's first discuss how to deal with the Heavenly Demon."
She looked at Chongming, "What's your opinion, God?"
Chongming nodded, "It's our bounden duty to eliminate demons and defend the way."
Tu Yang nodded in satisfaction and then asked about the two of them, "What were you two just doing? Were you practicing kung fu?"
This was clearly a lie.
What kind of kung fu needed two people to practice affectionately?
Xunhuan said angrily, "They were clearly having an immoral relationship between master and disciple just now. God's character is trustworthy. It must be this shameless little slut who seduced and bewitched the God."
She poured all her hatred on Yaohua. In the end, it wasn't that she hated the immoral relationship between master and disciple, but that she hated that it wasn't herself who could make the God infatuated.
Chongming coughed lightly and said calmly, "Just as you saw."
Tu Yang's heart sank to the bottom in an instant, "It's a heavenly rule that master and disciple cannot fall in love. Do you know that?"
Chongming nodded, "I know."
"If you violate the heavenly rule, it's like incest. Both of you will be reviled by the world. Do you know that?"
"I know!"
"In the eyes of the world in the future, you'll be seen as someone who doesn't know better and seduces your own disciple. This will be a great stain on your originally noble reputation. Do you know that?"
"I know!"
He said his answer firmly, "Even if the world doesn't understand and spurns me, I will never let down the one I love again."
Tu Yang paced back and forth anxiously on the spot. After walking in circles for a while, she said, "Why are all of you only thinking about love?"
Looking at the God - Lord's face every day was already annoying enough for her. She didn't expect that when she came to deliver a message to get some fresh air, she would run into two love - struck people.
Seeing that her master cared so much about her, Yaohua felt sweet yet nervous in her heart. "I think loving the world and loving one person are not contradictory. Moreover, Chongming and I understand each other. Why can't we fall in love?"
"Nothing can be accomplished without rules. The rule in the Celestial Realm is that master and disciple cannot fall in love." Seeing that the two were so determined, Tu Yang had no choice but to use reason to suppress them. "If you forcibly violate the heavenly rule, you will be condemned by the Heavenly Way. You two should turn back before it's too late!"
Chongming listened silently and then nodded, indicating that Tu Yang could leave.
After much thought, Tu Yang still wasn't at ease. She warned, "This matter must never be known to others. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for both of you and the family forces behind you."
Apart from the Heavenly Way, the God - Lord could also enforce the law!
Her reminder was very implicit, but Chongming and the others understood her implication and nodded to show their gratitude.
After seeing Tu Yang off, Yaohua said coldly, "Do you want to leave on your own, or do I have to throw you out?"
Xunhuan was still there. After hearing this, her face turned green and then white, "You have the nerve to tell me to get out? It's you who should get out!"
She asked aggressively, "If it weren't for you, why would God Chongming be warned by Envoy Tu Yang?"
Yaohua scoffed, "What does this have to do with you?"
"Of course it has to do with me. I..." Xunhuan stopped halfway. She looked at Chongming shyly and timidly, "Please look at others more, God. Don't be bewitched by this demon girl."
Chongming replied patiently, "I'm not bewitched."
Xunhuan firmly didn't believe it. She rushed in front of Yaohua and scolded, "Bitch, what method did you use to bewitch the God!"
Yaohua was too lazy to talk to her. She waved her sleeve and sent Xunhuan flying.
Xunhuan was directly thrown out of the barrier. She could only beat on the barrier unwillingly and shout, "Yaohua, you little bitch, let me in, let me in!"
The shouting couldn't penetrate the barrier. The study was empty and silent.
Yaohua slowly walked to Chongming's side. Seeing that he seemed to be deep in thought, she couldn't help but ask, "Being with me means you have to bear a lot of pressure. Will you regret it?"
Chongming opened his mouth but hesitated. He didn't answer for a long time.
Yaohua's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
