Qingyun respectfully saluted: "Met the divine ruler."
"What's the commotion?"
He asked Qingyun, but his gaze was on the side of Xiya.
The woman wore a delicate feather gown, as beautiful as a peony, with her fair skin contrasting charmingly with the spotless white petals.
Elegant and graceful, like willow petals swirling in the air, her face fresh and untouched by worldly desires, just like a lotus that rises from muddy waters unstained.
If Yuemei Ji is a monster that sucks the souls of people, then this girl represents purity.
"Report to the divine ruler, the sixth princess of the East Sea said that she has something to discuss with the divine ruler and requested me to send her in."
Qingyun responded respectfully.
Xi Yao saw Mo Jien and her beautiful eyes lit up. She quickly adjusted her demeanor, showing the smile she thought was the most charming.
"Met the divine ruler."
Xi Yao curtsied gracefully, her small face quickly flushing with a rosy blush, highlighting her bright eyes and likening them to twin stars.
"What is it?"
Mo Jien has an excellent memory, and he remembers that the woman followed the three armies to the battlefield of immortals and demons a few months ago.
"I heard that the divine ruler was secretly attacked by a villain, resulting in injuries on the battlefield between immortals and demons. This glassy immortal fruit can cure all poisons and is also a rare elixir for healing injuries. I have specially sent it to you for the divine ruler, hoping the divine ruler will not take offense!"
Xi Yao's voice is gentle and refined, as she takes out the glassy immortal fruit from the redwood blue. The divine light revolves, and its fragrance fills the air.
She handed the glassy immortal fruit to Mo Jien, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
Mo Jien hesitated slightly, his gaze shifting towards the glassy immortal fruit.
The thing is good, but there is no intention to accept it.
"My divine body has recovered well, Princess Xi Yao does not need to trouble herself, you take it back."
He turned his gaze away from the glassy immortal fruit, speaking in a cold tone.
Xi Yao saw that Mo Jisen was not willing to accept it, and she became anxious.
He turned his gaze away from the glassy immortal fruit, speaking in a cold tone.
Without giving it much thought, she knelt down before Mo Jien, wiping away a few tears to make herself appear more pitifully charming.
"The divine ruler saved Xi Yao's life on the battlefield between immortals and demons that day. Xi Yao is deeply grateful, and the glassy immortal fruit also has the intention of thanking the divine ruler. If the divine ruler does not accept it, Xi Yao cannot rest in peace."
Her eyes filled with tears, she was both charming and pitiful.
Mo Jien's expression furrowed slightly. How could he not remember saving this woman on the battlefield between immortals and demons?
He was initially poisoned by the Empress of Eternal Night, and nothing happened at first. However, once he was on the battlefield, the poison began to act, and he had no thought of saving others.
"I did not save you, take it back."
He looked down at the woman kneeling before him, her eyes brimming with tears, and spoke in a cold voice.
Xi Yao's face showed embarrassment. While Mo Jisen did not intentionally save her, he did help her unknowingly.
"The divine ruler may not be aware that during your battle with the demon king, it was earth-shattering, and the ripples spread everywhere. When the divine ruler struck the demon king, the ripples he produced happened to save Xi Yao."
With that, Xi Yao looked at Mo Jien with tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with determination, "If the divine ruler will not accept it, Xi Yao will kneel at the gates of thePurple Rainbow Palace until I am unable to rise."
Mo Jisen's expression hesitated slightly. He was truly unaware of that incident and did not know if Xi Yao was speaking the truth or not.
But whether it was true or not, he didn't care.
Seeing her now, she seemed determined to kneel there forever unless he accepted, and he furrowed his brows, feeling quite headache-inducing.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with this troublesome issue, he saw a group of celestial attendants kneeling in front of the Purple Rainbow Palace.
Then they all shouted in unison: "Greetings to the emperor."
Even Qingyun the Immortal behind Mo Jien did the same.
As Mo Jisen turned around, he saw the Emperor laughing as he walked from the nearby celestial palace.
"Haha... Mo Jisen, it's just a plate of glassy immortal fruit. Although I didn't intend to save anyone, it did save someone. Accepting it is fine, why refuse the princess's intention so vehemently?"
The Emperor wore a golden dragon robe, surrounded by auspicious light, exuding an aura of majesty without the need for anger.
His hair was high bound, his eyebrow was above his cheek, and he had a pair of cold and profound eyes. His nose was high and his body was tall and slim. He was indeed a handsome man with a fine appearance.
Xi Yao, seeing the Emperor approach and speak on her behalf, a look of gratitude flickered in her eyes.
Then, she quickly kowed.
"Xi Yao greets the emperor."
Her voice was light and elegant as she bowed gracefully.
The Emperor's steps stopped, and his gaze fell on Xi Yao's face, filled with inspection.
After a moment.
He nodded slightly with a faint smile, "The East Sea is good, and so are you. Get up."
As a female immortal, she was willing to step forward and accompany the heavenly army to the battlefield between immortals and demons.
Even if it did not make a significant difference, this act was highly commended by the Emperor.
"Thank you, Emperor."
Receiving praise from the Emperor, Xi Yao naturally felt happy and stood up quite naturally.
Mo Jisen, although unwilling to accept Xi Yao's glassy immortal fruit, saw that the Emperor was also speaking on her behalf, so he could not refuse.
He hesitated for a moment and then instructed Qingyun to take the fruit basket from Xi Yao's hand.
"Xi Yao Princess, let it be taken care of by me."
Qingyun walked up to Princess Xi Yao, looking at the redwood fruit basket in her hand.
"Thank you, Immortal."
Xi Yao let out a sigh of relief and seemed to be extremely happy. She happily handed the redwood fruit basket to Qingyun Immortal.
At this time, the Emperor had already entered the Purple Rainbow Palace with Mo Jisen.
Xi Yao would have liked to follow them inside, but she also knew that now was not the appropriate time.
Regardless, the divine ruler has already accepted the glassy immortal fruit, and the two have thus established some sort of connection.
With this in mind, Xi Yao raised her lips in delight. She glanced at the direction of the Purple Rainbow Palace, and soon she also left.
......
The pavilions and buildings within the Purple Rainbow Palace are layered and arranged in an aesthetically pleasing manner, exuding a classical and mysterious aura.
The Emperor and Mo Jisen sat down on a water pavilion.
Soon, a Taoist apprentice from the Purple Rainbow Palace served tea, fruits, and pastries, along with an extremely delicate chessboard.
The Taoist apprentice naturally set up the chessboard and bowed respectfully before retreating.
"Have you heard that the demon world has recently been vigorously searching for the former celestial maiden?
The Emperor picked up a black piece and placed it in the center of the chessboard, his gaze fixed on Mo Jisen across from him as he spoke softly.
Mo Jisen also picked up a white piece and placed it on the board, then shook his head, "I haven't heard of it either. Do you know the reason?"
As he finished speaking, his eyes were locked onto the Emperor across from him, showing a clear interest in the matter.
The demon king sending people to look for her suggests that he must have discovered she was missing.
He couldn't understand, as Yuemei Ji is no longer the demon world's celestial maiden, why they would go to such great lengths to find her.
The news has also reached the ears of the Emperor.
The Emperor doesn't know what thoughts are in Mo Jisen's mind, but he says: "I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that the news has been spreading everywhere. Not only in the demon world, but also in the celestial world, demon world, and even the demon world and ghost world are all looking for her."
He finished speaking and placed a black piece on the board.
After placing the piece, he continued, "It's probably that the former celestial maiden did something wrong and fears punishment from the demon world, so she ran away in secret. That's why the demon world is taking such actions."
Mo Jisen looked at the Emperor across from him without speaking.
Yuemei Ji is actually in his spiritual realm, forcibly left there by him, so he of course knows that it's not what the Emperor says.
But he had no intention of speaking it out.
He picked up a white piece and placed it on the board, speaking indifferently, "No matter what the cause is, it has nothing to do with our celestial realm."
"It's indeed irrelevant, I was just letting you know."
The Emperor smiled faintly and then began to play the game with concentration.
Mo Jisen's mind was preoccupied with other matters, and he had no interest in playing the game. He didn't even know what he was doing.
He placed the pieces randomly on the board, making a mess of the game.
The Emperor watched the chaotic state of the chessboard, furrowing his brow slightly.
He looked at the opposite side, Mo Jisen's face with a concerned expression, and hesitated slightly.
What is he thinking about?
"Never mind, if you have no interest in playing chess, we can do it another day."
After speaking, the Emperor put the pieces of his chessboard into the box and stood up to leave.
Mo Jisen, who did not care when the Emperor left, rose from his original position and entered his spiritual realm with a slight flash of white light.
He intended to ask that woman what she had done to make the demon king so concerned and to have people searching throughout the six realms.
