Past and Present Lives (V)
When Xuan Qi rushed to the appointed place.
He didn't see the tearful Meng Jiujiu.
"She has been reincarnated."
"She said she was tired of being a lonely ghost."
"In this life, she will be reborn into a wonderful family, with the love of her parents, the care of her elder brother, and the spoiling of her elder sister. This is what she has always yearned for."
Xuan Qi stopped in his tracks.
He said, "Jiujiu is not such a person."
"That's just how things are."
He didn't believe it.
He searched the Underworld like a madman.
But just as the Spirit Maid had said, after scouring the Underworld, he couldn't find a trace of that little crybaby.
He slumped down on the ground dejectedly.
"Forty - nine Heavenly Thunderbolts. You're too over - confident. You won't be able to withstand them," said the God Huang Yan.
Xuan Qi retorted, "What makes you think I can't?"
Huang Yan didn't say a word.
He made a gesture in front of his chest.
The forty - nine Heavenly Thunderbolts transformed into countless fierce dragons.
"What's this?"
"They mean to harm you, and you won't be able to defend against them."
Indeed.
Since Xuan Qi left Meng Jiujiu, he had been rising through the ranks rapidly, skipping several levels. Such a speed made him the first in the Immortal Realm.
Among his fellow cultivators.
They had long harbored hatred towards him.
"You all knew you could stop this."
"I was severely injured and couldn't stop it. As for the Heavenly Emperor, he won't intervene. The interests involved are far too extensive."
Yes.
Xuan Qi had heard of it.
Previously, when Ksitigarbha Thirteen of the Underworld was ascending and attaining nirvana, he would have vanished into thin air. It was God Huang Yan who used half of his cultivation to help him ascend.
"You should go back. If you forget this woman now, you can avoid this punishment in the Celestial Realm."
Xuan Qi stood up.
Staggering.
Punishment meant nothing to him now.
He didn't believe it.
He didn't believe that Meng Jiujiu had truly left like this.
Back in the Celestial Realm.
He admitted all his crimes.
Later, he received a severe punishment. He lost his position as the God of War and became the Matchmaker, in charge of the love affairs in the mortal world every day.
As for Meng Jiujiu.
On the Naihe Bridge covered with mandala flowers, she brewed potions all day long, hoping to help the mortals forget the painful entanglements of their past and present lives.
But whether they had forgotten each other in their hearts.
Only they knew.
Later on.
Some people said.
On a certain night.
Meteors were flying everywhere.
Immortal Xuan Qi of the Celestial Realm passed away. How could someone who had already ascended to become a god still experience birth, old age, sickness, and death?
Most likely.
His heart had died.
Not long after.
The eighty - year - old granny on the Naihe Bridge disappeared.
Several years later.
A delicate and extremely tearful young girl appeared on the Naihe Bridge.
It was said.
She was the nineteenth child born in the Underworld and grew up under the protection of A Cha. Her name was Shi Jiu. She took over the position of the previous Granny Meng. However, the soup she brewed always lacked one ingredient and was unbearably bitter and unpalatable.
After that.
Shi Jiu ran out of the Underworld.
It seemed that she had fallen in love with a mortal man.
Strangely enough.
That man.
Was from the Feng family, and his bloodline was immortal.
Some people also said.
They had seen the mortal man that Shi Jiu had fallen in love with.
His appearance.
Was exactly the same as that of Immortal Xuan Qi back then.
Watching them being so affectionate, resolving their past grievances, and snuggling up to each other.
The woman in crimson clothes and the man in white clothes smiled at each other.
Their fateful encounter.
From this life on.
Was truly just beginning.
As a member of the Feng family, with the Underworld as their backing, Meng Jiujiu.
Between them.
No one could ever separate them again.
Because the Feng family.
And the Underworld.
Were their most powerful backers.
All their painstaking efforts.
Finally received the due response.
"A Zhan, you stole my food again."
"What? You're pregnant. You can't eat this blood - activating hawthorn. Confiscated!"
"Second elder sister! Look at A Zhan."
Harmony reigned, and laughter filled the air.
