Chapter 46 Donghua Saves Fengjiu, the Final Act
"I've watched 'Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms' through three lifetimes. It's been several years since I last saw it. I wonder if the world has changed. Let's ask how long it's been. I hope it's not too long and I haven't missed Donghua's good show." With that, Mo Mo's lips curled up slightly as he stepped into the spatial passage in the room.
In the Heavenly Chen Palace's sleeping quarters, a young man with an extraordinary aura appeared out of nowhere. This young man was none other than our protagonist, Mo Mo. After going outside the palace and asking the palace maids, he learned that more than 70,000 years had passed since the last great war. Although Qing Cang was gone, Mo Yuan and Yao Guang were still alive. Several interesting things had happened in these tens of thousands of years. When Mo Mo heard this, he almost spat out the tea in his mouth.
Mo Mo originally thought that Bai Qian's fate had already changed since she married him, so she wouldn't be the same as before. And that was indeed the case. After marrying Mo Mo, Bai Qian followed Liu Xueqing around all day and completely revealed her true nature. The group was always looking for trouble and they were always nowhere to be seen. Naturally, they wouldn't have encountered that little snake in Kunlun Mountain. Mo Mo was also preparing to give her some opportunities so that she could attain enlightenment as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, he heard that the second prince of the Heavenly Clan had officially married a snake. After asking around, he found out that it was the same little snake from before.
After listening, Mo Mo learned what had happened. It turned out that this little snake was also a snake with great fortune. It was said that the Second Prince went to Kunlun Mountain to ask Mo Mo for directions, but returned disappointed and full of frustration. Just then, he happened to see the little snake being bullied by its clansmen. So, filled with anger, he went up and beat those little demons until they cried for their parents. Strangely enough, perhaps it was fate, the two fell in love at first sight. Moreover, a dragon and a snake were quite a good match. So, their love was like a bolt from the blue, and they became husband and wife.
Just then, the dragon energy of Kunlun Void was activated by the two of them. At that moment, a pill flew down from the sky and entered the little snake's body. Stimulated by the dragon energy, the pill immediately took effect, and thunderclouds began to gather in the sky. After a heavenly tribulation, the little snake actually transformed into a dragon and ascended to become an immortal. Then, naturally, the second prince of the Celestial Clan proposed to Mo Yuan of Kunlun Void, taking the little snake, Shao Xin, as his queen. This became a beautiful story in the Celestial Clan. However, no matter how much Mo Mo thought about it, something felt off. How could such a coincidence happen? He guessed that it was his precious wife's doing again. Even if it wasn't her, she must have been involved. After all, how could the dragon energy of Kunlun Void be activated so easily?
Another thing is that even if Ye Hua, the eldest grandson of the Heavenly Clan, ascends to the rank of High Immortal at the age of 20,000, the reason it's faster than in the original story is because he has his older brother Mo Yuan protecting him; it's hard for him not to ascend quickly. Moreover, under Cheng Yu's instigation, Ye Hua would occasionally visit Mo Mo's Heavenly Chen Palace to beg for snacks. Of course, a 50/50 split afterward was inevitable, but even with a 50/50 split, the remaining elixir snacks would be enough for him.
After getting a general understanding of what had happened over the years, Mo Mo began to prepare. "In the original story, Donghua saved Fengjiu by noticing something amiss with the Donghuang Bell and coming down to investigate. He rescued Bai Fengjiu, who had been intercepted by the Golden Lion Beast on her way back to Qingqiu. But now, I've killed Qingcang, taken the Donghuang Bell, Bai Qian has left, and the Golden Lion Beast was killed during its battle with Qingcang. In other words, besides the two main characters, I've eliminated everything else that triggered the Bai Fengjiu and Donghua storyline. What a headache!"
"I've got it. Feng Jiu likes to run around everywhere just like her aunt Bai Qian, but we can still figure out a way to trick her back. As for the Golden Lion Beast, we can always use the Silver Lion Beast or something, that's easy. The difficult one is Donghua. This guy is so oblivious to the world that he's practically turning into a rotten house. It won't be easy to lure him out. I guess I'll have to think of a good way to get him out." Mo Mo rubbed his head in distress.
"What Donghua cares about most is the peace of the four seas and eight wastelands. Since that's the case, let's start from there. Speaking of which, I've lived through several worlds but haven't played a villain yet. Donghua, Donghua, for the sake of the two of you, I'm even prepared to play the villain. It wouldn't be too much to make you drink two bottles of Thousand-Day Intoxication, would it? I can't beat you at chess, but drinking... hehehehe, I hope you can find your room when you get married." A chilling laugh came from inside Tianchen Palace, making the fairy maids outside feel uneasy.
Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye. During this century, two forces have gradually risen in the world. The former is still acceptable, after all, it is normal for the Emperor Wangchen and the Goddess Xueqing to rise after tens of thousands of years, since they left behind the mortal lineage. However, the rise of the other force is unacceptable, because this force seems to have appeared suddenly overnight and grown rapidly. Before the Celestial Clan could react, it had already become a behemoth.
At the summit of Snow Emperor Mountain in the mortal realm, an old man with white hair and a youthful face stood tall, holding a celestial sword. Behind him, a dignified middle-aged man stood respectfully, also holding a celestial sword. The two stood on the mountaintop, their hair and beards flying in the wind, standing there quietly as if they would stand there forever.
The two stood there when the sun was high in the sky, and now the red sun was about to set. Just as the golden crows on the horizon were about to return to their nests, a figure flew from the mountainside to the summit. At first glance, the person was still on the mountainside, but in the blink of an eye, he had already stopped at the summit.
Upon reaching the mountain peak, the man bowed to the two men with great excitement and said, “Greetings, Supreme Elder, Greetings, Sect Leader. The Celestial Clan has sent word that the Ancestor has returned to the palace. We are permitted to send someone to pay our respects to the Ancestor. However, the Ancestor’s whereabouts are uncertain, and they cannot be certain where he is.”
The white-haired, youthful-looking old man blushed with excitement upon hearing the news: "Over seventy thousand years! Master, your disciple hasn't seen you for over seventy thousand years! Those stubborn old fogies of the Celestial Clan are truly despicable! But now we are no longer dough to be kneaded by you. After seventy thousand years of dedicated cultivation, our sect has finally produced nearly ten High Gods. We finally have the strength to face the Celestial Clan directly. We can finally acknowledge our ancestors and return to our roots. Let's go to the Nine Heavens and pay our respects to your ancestor, Emperor Wangchen."
On Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness, a young man dressed in a magnificent robe suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and muttered to himself, "Strange, I've been an emperor for many years, why would I sneeze for no reason? It must be that person talking about me behind my back. Never mind, I'll trick Donghua into coming down first."
Just then, Bai Fengjiu of Qingqiu, who was wandering around, received a letter. The letter said that someone in Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness was spreading rumors about Bai Qian and making her sound terrible. Bai Fengjiu was provoked by the letter and rushed to Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness without any regard for the consequences. At this time, a legend also began to circulate in Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness.
Legend has it that the Nine-Tailed Fox clan of Qingqiu is favored by heaven and earth, born as immortals and becoming gods upon adulthood. A single whiff of their scent can increase one's magical power by ten years, and a bite can increase it by a hundred years. If one can cultivate with them, one can ascend to godhood within a few years. The current lord of Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness became a god after a chance encounter and cultivation with a Nine-Tailed Fox. The story is so well-documented that it's being spread throughout Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness. Meanwhile, Xiao Fengjiu, completely unaware that she has been sold by her uncle, is still desperately rushing towards Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness.
In the Ninth Heaven, Donghua Zifu Shaoyangjun, who was playing chess with himself in Taichen Palace, suddenly paused, then threw down the chess piece in his hand and began to calculate with his fingers. Siming, who was standing next to him, changed his expression upon seeing this, and had a premonition that something big might happen.
Sure enough, a moment later, Emperor Donghua stopped with a frown, flicked his sleeve and said only, "Pay attention to the Winged Clan's movements. Report any unusual situations to me immediately," before hurriedly leaving. This made Siming even more worried, because even when he was with Qingcang, he had never seen the Emperor in such a state.
Watching Donghua Dijun's hurried departure, Si Ming sighed, "It seems that the Four Seas and Eight Deserts are about to be stirred up again."
Meanwhile, outside Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness, a small red fox quietly peeked out and crept into the forest, completely unaware that it had been spotted. It continued to venture deeper into the forest as planned.
Looking down at the red nine-tailed fox Mo Mo, who thought she had hidden herself perfectly but was actually surrounded by a large group of demons, she covered her face with her hands. "How embarrassing! The dignified Qingqiu princess was surrounded by a bunch of little demons without even realizing it. Although it was partly her own fault, she was too careless. It seems that this little girl needs to suffer a bit."
So Mo Mo didn't intervene, but instead took a bag of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open.
"Yo yo yo, you've made your move. Not bad, though your alertness is a bit lacking, your reaction time is pretty good."
Just as Mo Mo spoke, the demons below, who had not yet seen Mo Mo appear, finally began to attack. Although Xiao Fengjiu was not very vigilant, she reacted very quickly. The moment the demons attacked, she activated the protective talisman that Bai Qian had left for her and protected herself.
However, although the talisman was activated, the danger was not over, because Bai Qian and the others were no longer in this world. The talisman's main function was not protection, but teleportation. When the talisman's owner activated it, they could instantly teleport to the side of the person who created it. Unfortunately, now that Bai Qian had left, the talisman could not perform its intended function and could only be used as an ordinary protective shield.
Only ten minutes after activating the protective talisman, the shield was already teetering on the brink of collapse under the onslaught of a group of demons, on the verge of shattering at any moment. Watching the shield about to disappear, Mo Mo was speechless at Donghua Dijun's speed. Mo Mo had calculated the timing perfectly; the moment the shield broke would be Donghua Dijun's arrival. Unexpectedly, Donghua Dijun hadn't even appeared before the shield was about to break. Left with no other choice, Mo Mo had to intervene to maintain the shield's duration. Then, a very strange scene unfolded: "A girl in red looked on in terror at the teetering shield that seemed poised to shatter at any second, while a group of demons attacked the dim, cracked shield with frenzied fury. Yet, the shattering shield simply wouldn't break."
Twenty minutes later, the once fearful Xiao Fengjiu was now squatting on the ground drawing circles out of boredom, while the once high-spirited demons were now weakly and listlessly attacking the crumbling protective barrier. Meanwhile, Mo Mo, hidden in the air, looked down with a black line on his face. Just when Mo Mo was doubting that Donghua had not come at all, a figure finally appeared in the distance. Purple robes and white hair, it was none other than Emperor Donghua.
The moment Donghua Dijun appeared, the protective shield vanished. Bai Fengjiu and the group of lesser demons were stunned. Then, the demons, their faces contorted with fanaticism, pressed towards Bai Fengjiu. Bai Fengjiu cried out and fell to the ground, retreating step by step towards the demons. She tried to intimidate them by invoking the name of Qingqiu, but the demons, blinded by rumors and blinded by rage, paid her no heed.
Just as Xiao Fengjiu was in despair, a flash of light appeared, and a purple figure blocked her way. With a casual wave of his hand, the previously aggressive demons suffered heavy losses. Donghua Dijun looked at Bai Fengjiu sitting on the ground, shook his head, looked around, and walked towards the cabin in the forest. Bai Fengjiu followed him blankly.

Chapter 47 The Little Fox Who Repays a Kindness
On Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness, a girl dressed in red with a phoenix tail flower between her eyebrows followed closely behind a man in purple robes and white hair. The man strolled leisurely, looking around, and would occasionally stop to use his magic to probe his surroundings. Whenever the man in purple robes and white hair stopped, the girl behind him would always bump into him because she was following too closely and had her head down and couldn't react in time.
After being bumped into countless times, the Stone Immortal Donghua Dijun finally couldn't help but speak up: "Little Princess of Qingqiu, please stop following me, okay? I don't need your gratitude. Now that the matter has been investigated, I should go back. It's quite far from here to Qingqiu. Let me see you off one more time. Please stop following me."
He personally escorted Bai Fengjiu back to Qingqiu. Only after Bai Fengjiu entered the fox den did Emperor Donghua shake his head and leave Qingqiu to return to Taichen Palace in the Nine Heavens.
Mo Mo followed Donghua and the others all the way to the fox den. It wasn't until half a day after Donghua Emperor left that Mo Mo swaggered into the fox den. He stayed in the fox den for half a day before leaving, and when he left, he stated that he would be staying in the Nine Heavens for the foreseeable future.
After returning to her fox den, Bai Fengjiu thought for a long time and, influenced by her aunt Bai Qian, was determined to repay Donghua Dijun's kindness. Even if Donghua Dijun didn't need her, she still had to repay his kindness, otherwise she would never have peace of mind. Unfortunately, even though Bai Fengjiu was the princess of Qingqiu, she couldn't think of any way to repay Donghua Dijun's life-saving grace.
"I have no shortage of magical treasures, elixirs and spiritual medicines. My cheap uncle's palace is right across the street, and we're old acquaintances. I have plenty of elixirs. What does the Emperor need? Ahhhhh! I can't figure it out!" An hour later, Bai Fengjiu walked out of her fox den with messy hair.
After touring Qingqiu and leaving behind some pills and wine, Mo Mo returned to the Nine Heavens. Although Liu Xueqing and the others had looked after the gardens while he was away, Liu Xueqing was a restless person, so the gardens were generally tended by his elders or fairy maidens and had fallen into disrepair. Upon his return, Mo Mo began to carefully repair the gardens. Looking at the wine cellar, Mo Mo was speechless; it was completely empty. Even rats would cry and run out if they went in. The other cellars were in the same state. Fortunately, the peach and pear orchards were in full bloom and yielded abundant fruit, so Mo Mo began his own grand manufacturing project.
Just as Mo Mo finished cleaning the garden and was selecting fruits to make some fruit wine, Bai Fengjiu barged in. When Mo Mo saw Bai Fengjiu's current appearance, he slipped and almost fell off the tree. After regaining his balance, Mo Mo looked at Bai Fengjiu and, although he tried his best to hold back, he couldn't help but laugh. This was not Mo Mo's fault; Bai Fengjiu's current appearance was just too touching.
At this moment, Bai Fengjiu had a messy, tangled hairstyle. Her once smooth, long hair was now sticking up and covering half of her face. The hair on the top of her head was so tangled that it was no different from a chicken coop. She was completely unlike the Qingqiu princess she used to be. If Mo Mo hadn't been very familiar with Bai Fengjiu, he really wouldn't have recognized her. He really couldn't understand how the heavenly general guarding the gate recognized her.
"Hey Feng Jiu, what's wrong with you? Did you sneak out to play and get caught by your dad and hung up to beat you? And upside down, no less?"
"Hey, stop laughing at me! Quickly help me think of a solution, I'm so worried!" With that, she plopped down on the stone bench next to her, picked up a peach, and took a big bite.
Seeing this, Mo Mo shook his head helplessly, waved his hand to restore Feng Jiu's messy hair to its original state, and sat down opposite Bai Feng Jiu, who was sullenly eating peaches. He asked, "What is it that has troubled our fearless little princess of Qingqiu so much that she became like that just now? I'm just passing by and I might be able to help." As he spoke, he gestured towards Bai Feng Jiu's head.
Bai Fengjiu came to the Nine Heavens seeking Mo Mo's help, so she ignored Mo Mo's teasing and spilled the beans, while Mo Mo pretended not to know anything and listened attentively. Privately, however, he was plotting how to mess with Donghua. After all, in the original story, with Cheng Yu's divine assistance, Bai Fengjiu had managed to subdue the stone immortal Donghua. All Mo Mo needed to do now was give him a gentle push from behind.
"You mean you want to repay Donghua for saving your life? That's a difficult situation. After all, Donghua lacks almost nothing. If there's anything he lacks, it's that Taichen Palace is missing a mistress. But you are the Princess of Qingqiu, how can you offer yourself in marriage? Although he is the Emperor of the Celestial Clan, you are also the Princess of Qingqiu, and your status is no less than his. It's a difficult situation! A difficult situation indeed. Let me think about it, and I'll tell you when I figure it out." After listening, Mo Mo pretended to be deep in thought and then walked step by step into the forest, gradually disappearing into the distance.
Upon hearing Mo Mo's words, Bai Fengjiu's eyes lit up, and she jumped up immediately: "That's right, I can offer myself to him! I am the princess of Qingqiu, with an extraordinary status, so I can naturally marry into Taichen Palace. The Emperor has never been heard of having a Daoist partner, so he must be very lonely. Fengjiu, you are so smart."
However, after the initial excitement subsided, Bai Fengjiu discovered a new problem. Although she was the Princess of Qingqiu, she couldn't freely enter and leave Taichen Palace. Just as Bai Fengjiu was troubled, Mo Mo called out from the forest, "Little Fengjiu, your aunt and the others have run away, and I'm short-handed now. Could you stay and help me with something? It's very simple. Just help me deliver the brewed wine or refined pills and collect the payment. I can give you a Gathering Immortal Pill every day, how about it?"
Bai Fengjiu initially wanted to refuse Mo Mo's words. Although the Gathering Immortal Pill could help people quickly gather the surrounding immortal energy and make their cultivation speed faster, if she really wanted it, would he refuse her? However, when Bai Fengjiu heard the last sentence, she swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue. "It's like a pillow being delivered when I'm sleepy. No wonder my aunt has her eye on you." So Bai Fengjiu readily agreed.
From then on, a little palace maid would wander around Taichen Palace every day. She did nothing else but come to Taichen Palace every morning and follow Emperor Donghua to serve him tea and water. She would return to Tianchen Palace to rest at night and often hung out with a female immortal named Chengyu. Day after day, three months passed in the blink of an eye.
In the morning, Bai Fengjiu ate breakfast and prepared to head to Taichen Palace, but was stopped and pulled back by a woman. After seeing that Mo Mo had already left, the woman secretly took out a plate of fruit that looked somewhat like plums but was larger and gave it to Bai Fengjiu. After Bai Fengjiu ate two pieces of the fruit, the woman pulled her into Taichen Palace. Upon seeing this, Mo Mo decisively closed Tianchen Palace and refused to see any guests. Half an hour after Mo Mo closed the palace, Donghua Dijun carried Bai Fengjiu out of Taichen Palace and arrived at Mo Mo's Tianchen Palace. Finding that Mo Mo had already closed the palace, he carried Bai Fengjiu back to Taichen Palace.
Watching everything unfold at the doorway, Mo Mo leisurely blew on the tea in his hand, then took a deep breath and sighed, "Good tea!"
Three days later, Mo Mo's Tianchen Palace lost a fairy maid who delivered pills, while the Donghua Emperor of the opposite Taichen Palace gained a red fox fairy pet. On the same day, the Three Lives Stone shone brightly but was obscured by a mysterious force. When the light dissipated, a name appeared on the Three Lives Stone: "Donghua Zifu Shaoyang Jun". Next to this name, there was another name: "Qingqiu Bai Fengjiu".
All of this happened quietly. The Three Lives Stone was already a little-known object, and this all happened so quietly that no one knew about it for more than half a year. During this half year, the gods and immortals in heaven talked most about the little fox in Taichen Palace who was repaying a debt of gratitude and Princess Zhiyue in Tianchen Palace who was relentlessly pursuing her.
That's right. Originally, Zhi Yue, who was in love with Donghua Dijun along with Bai Fengjiu, has now fallen in love with Mo Mo for some reason. For the past six months, she has been coming to pester Mo Mo every day. If it weren't for the rules of the Heavenly Clan and Mo Mo's status, she probably would have already forced herself on him. Of course, it wasn't Mo Mo forcing himself on her, but Mo Mo being forced on.
Normally, being liked should make someone happy, but for Mo Mo right now, it's pure torture. It's not that Zhi Yue isn't pretty or good, but Mo Mo just isn't attracted to her. Besides, this girl is too persistent; just read the original novel, she's a real little firecracker. He wanted to just leave, but the story of Feng Jiu was about to reach its most exciting moment, so Mo Mo endured it all. This endurance lasted for more than half a year. Fortunately, it's finally almost over, because Dong Hua has finally been completely moved by Feng Jiu and is preparing to give her a lifetime of love. And this little fox, who originally only came to repay a debt of gratitude, has finally fallen completely in love.
Is the female lead really that annoying? I think she's pretty good.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 48 Feng Jiu Loses Her Memory?
When Mo Mo heard that Donghua was going to descend to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, he laughed happily, like a fox who had stolen a chicken. "Donghua, you are finally going to fall into my hands. Although I have never beaten you at chess, you'd better obediently accept your death this time."
Ultimately, driven by the power of the plot and the behind-the-scenes manipulator Mo Mo, Donghua and Fengjiu experienced a love tribulation in the mortal realm. Although Bai Qian and Yuan Zhen from the original story were absent, Mo Mo, the troublemaker, was added, so the plot still unfolded smoothly. Donghua's love tribulation in the mortal realm ended prematurely, just like in the original drama, resulting in Donghua losing all his magical powers.
Upon returning to the Nine Heavens, Si Ming couldn't bear it and finally told the heartbroken Feng Jiu the truth. Only then did Feng Jiu understand why Donghua Dijun, despite his deep love for her, had always refused to accept her: "For the sake of peace in the Four Seas and Eight Deserts, Donghua Dijun personally erased his own name from the Three Lives Stone, so he was destined to never have another love affair."
This was like a bolt from the blue for Bai Fengjiu. What could be more cruel than two people who are deeply in love but can only look at each other from afar? In despair, Fengjiu remembered the characteristics of her race and resolutely revealed her nine tails. She swung her hand and cut off one of them. Mo Mo could have stopped Fengjiu when she cut off her tail, but thinking of the plan ahead, Mo Mo clenched his fist and endured it.
Holding the dagger transformed from her fox tail, Feng Jiu stumbled and staggered to the Three Lives Stone. Ignoring Si Ming's advice, she began to carve her and Dong Hua's names on the stone with the fox tail dagger. Unfortunately, the names disappeared after they were carved. However, Feng Jiu did not give up and continued to carve them again and again, but the names disappeared again and again. Finally, Feng Jiu collapsed to the ground in despair. At this moment, Dong Hua could not help but come to the Three Lives Stone.
When Feng Jiu saw Donghua Dijun, it was as if she had seen a lifeline, and her eyes instantly lit up. She struggled to get in front of Donghua Dijun, grabbed his robe, and said, "Why, why is this happening? There must be a way, right? Dijun, you can erase your name from the Three Lives Stone, so you can definitely re-engrave it, right?"
A pang of sorrow flashed in Donghua Dijun's eyes. His lips moved, but he ultimately shook his head. Seeing Donghua shake his head, the light in Feng Jiu's eyes quickly dimmed. Mo Mo could no longer hide his emotions and, suppressing the pain in his heart, slowly approached the three of them.
"Sigh, Feng Jiu, why were you so impulsive? You could have come to me if something was wrong. I've heard a little about what happened between you two. Now that things have turned out like this, how am I supposed to explain this to your aunt? You stupid girl." Mo Mo's words were full of disappointment and pity, but thinking of the ending of Donghua and Feng Jiu in the original drama, Mo Mo held back.
Although he really wanted to give Donghua Dijun a good scolding right now, since there weren't many opportunities to get him to be so tolerant and uncomplaining, seeing Feng Jiu's tear-streaked face, Mo Mo knew that only in this way could Donghua Dijun truly accept Feng Jiu. However, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. He quickly waved his hand, and two shining names appeared on the Three Lives Stone: "Donghua Zifu Shaoyang Jun, Qingqiu Bai Feng Jiu." These two names were noticeably larger and brighter than the ones next to them. After seeing these names, Feng Jiu finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground, fainting.
Donghua and Siming stared wide-eyed. Although they really wanted to ask Mo Mo what was going on, the most important thing now was to heal Feng Jiu as soon as possible. So, they suppressed their questions and followed Mo Mo, who was carrying Feng Jiu, to his Tianchen Palace.
After Mo Mo helped Feng Jiu cover herself with a blanket in Feng Jiu's room at Tianchen Palace, the three of them went to the main hall.
"Feng Jiu's condition has stabilized for the time being, and her severed tail has been reattached. However, I don't know what will happen next. After all, the tail of a nine-tailed fox is too important to them. Losing a tail is like tearing out one's heart; one wrong move and one could be completely destroyed."
"Is it that serious? Will the young prince suffer any long-term effects?" Si Ming asked hurriedly, while Dong Hua stared intently at Mo Mo, his hand gripping the armrest visibly turning white.
"We don't know yet. Although the situation has stabilized, it looks like it will take at least two or three days for Xiao Fengjiu to wake up. We'll have to wait until she wakes up to know the specifics. You should all go back and rest. Si Ming, take good care of the Emperor. His magic is sealed now, unlike before. And now..." As he spoke, Mo Mo glanced in the direction of Fengjiu's room.
"Yes, Emperor Wangchen, I will take good care of our Emperor."
Donghua glanced at Siming, said nothing, and turned to leave. After Donghua Dijun stood up, Siming also stood up, bowed to Mo Mo, and followed behind Donghua Dijun. After the two left, Mo Mo slowly finished his tea, then revealed a meaningful smile and walked towards Feng Jiu's room. "Little Feng Jiu, I'm here. Be a good girl and accept your brother's training. I guarantee you'll never forget it."
In the main hall of Taichen Palace, Emperor Donghua sat calmly in the main seat, sipping his immortal tea, while Siming paced anxiously around the hall.
"Your Majesty, how can you still be leisurely drinking tea here? Princess Feng Jiu's condition is still unclear. Why don't I go and call the Medicine King to take a look first, and then go to find the High God Zheyan? After all, High God Zheyan has a close relationship with the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, and his medical skills are superb. He should be able to keep the princess safe." With that, Si Ming walked out.
"Come back. What are you trying to do? Since Emperor Wangchen has said so, there must be no problem. I have known him for countless millennia. When I was still the ruler of heaven and earth, his strength was already unfathomable. Now, hundreds of thousands of years have passed. Do you think he would be inferior to Zheyan? Moreover, as for medical skills, I am sure that even Zheyan wouldn't dare to say that he is worse than him now." After stopping Siming, Emperor Donghua blew on the tea in his hand and said slowly.
"Then I'm relieved."
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and finally news came from Tianchen Palace that Feng Jiu had woken up.
The two, Donghua Dijun and Xian'e, who were anxiously waiting for news, were slightly taken aback by Xian'e's words. Then, Siming threw down the teacup in her hand and ran towards Tianchen Palace across the street. Donghua Dijun shook his head helplessly as he watched the anxious Siming and also walked towards Mo Mo's Tianchen Palace. Before he even reached Feng Jiu's room, he heard Siming's excited voice.
"Your Majesty, Princess Feng Jiu has woken up."
"Donghua, you're here. Have a good talk with Fengjiu. We're leaving now." With that, he grabbed Siming and pulled him out of the room, closing the door behind him. However, Mo Mo didn't go far, because he was afraid that Fengjiu's love for Donghua would give her away.
Fortunately, Feng Jiu held back, and what Mo Mo feared didn't happen. But less than half a cup of tea's time after Mo Mo and the others left, Donghua Dijun suddenly pushed open the door and rushed out. He grabbed Mo Mo's shoulders tightly, shaking him violently and roaring, "Wang Chen, what's going on? Why doesn't Feng Jiu remember me? And she even told me her lover has always been you! Tell me, what's going on?"
Mo Mo was surprised by Donghua's strong reaction, but the strong reaction proved that he truly loved Feng Jiu.
"Donghua, calm down first. Things aren't as you think. Let me go first, and I'll check Fengjiu again to see what's going on." Perhaps Mo Mo's words had an effect, as Donghua gradually calmed down, released Mo Mo, and then went back to Fengjiu's room with Mo Mo.
Using his magic, Mo Mo re-examined Feng Jiu, and with some doubt, asked her, "Feng Jiu, why did you say I was your lover?"
“You’ve always been my lover, haven’t you? I remember everything. I was just half asleep and felt very tired, with no strength at all. Then I felt a familiar magical power begin to nourish my body, and gradually I regained my strength. Then I couldn’t wait to open my eyes and saw you. That familiar magical power was you, there’s no mistake.”
Upon seeing Feng Jiu's answer, Mo Mo quickly asked, "Feng Jiu, do you remember who saved you? And who did you overcome your love tribulation with in the mortal realm?"
"I remember, it's you, Your Majesty. You're the one who saved me at Junji Mountain in the Eastern Wilderness, and you're the one who went through tribulations with me. It's all you. My memories are filled with you," Feng Jiu said happily.
After instructing Feng Jiu to rest well, Mo Mo led the two back to the living room.
"This is troublesome. Feng Jiu's situation is quite complicated. Although her severed tail has been reattached, it has caused aftereffects. Due to the severity of her injuries, Feng Jiu has experienced temporary amnesia. Moreover, she went through extreme highs and lows during her recovery, which damaged her primordial spirit. If I had left when she was about to wake up after restoring her body, or if you were the first person she saw when she woke up, this matter would have been over. However, the problem is that I did not leave after restoring her body, and the first person she saw when she woke up was me. This caused her to mistake me for you in her mental turmoil, which led to me taking your place in her memory." Mo Mo said with a frown after the three of them sat down.
"Is there any way to cure it?" Donghua asked.
