Mo Wenjie and Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuoba Ying Ying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling and Jin Can Fairy continued their exploration forward.
When the Queen Mother heard the news of Black Demonic King's failure, her originally dignified and splendid face instantly turned extremely gloomy, as if a violent storm was about to break. She was so angry that she trembled all over, and the wine cup she was holding could no longer bear this anger. With a loud "bang," it was thrown violently to the ground.
As the wine cup was shattered, the precious liquid inside it splattered everywhere, forming numerous irregular spots on the ground, just like the Queen Mother's angry heart at this moment, which was full of holes and vulnerabilities.
"Useless! You are such a useless thing!" The Queen Mother roared furiously, her voice echoing throughout the palace and causing the beads of the curtain inside to sway slightly. She couldn't believe how such an easy task, when given to Black Demon King, could be messed up. This made her feel humiliated and fueled her anger even more.
Well, Mo Wenjie, I don't believe I can't deal with you. Don't think you're invincible just because you defeated the Black Demon King. Golden Boy, go confront Mo Wenjie as the Queen Mother commands!
Golden Boy's identity is complicated. His true body is a gold-eating insect, and his real name is Qu Li. In his previous life, he was the leader of the insect tribe and the source of all things. He was one of the gold-eating insects raised by Han Li in the spiritual world, and later accompanied Han Li to ascend to the celestial world. In the celestial world, Golden Boy gradually found back his memories from his previous life.
In the celestial realm, after Golden Boy separated from Han Li, she temporarily followed Qu Ling and practiced, meeting Han Li again in the Minghan Sacred Mansion. In the Barbarian Realm, she was pursued by phoenixes and gold-eating spirits of her own race, which advanced to the Taiyi realm after swallowing one of them with Han Li's help. She awakened memories of her mission as a phoenix and gold-eating spirit united and left with Pegasus to find other phoenixes and gold-eating spirits. After swallowing a phoenix spirit from Jiuyuan Observatory in the Da Jin Yuan Sacred Realm, she advanced to the Grand Dao realm. However, she was captured by Gu Lingshi, one of the four holy envoys of Jiuyuan Observatory, and imprisoned there. She was later rescued by Han Li and swallowed a Grand Dao phoenix-spirit from Jinling, awakening memories from her previous life in the Six Paths of Rebirth Disc in Yinmeng Realm. Afterward, she was taken under wing as a disciple by Queen Mother with Han Li's help!
Hearing this, Golden Boy hurriedly bent down in respect, his hands clasped together in a salute, deeply bowing. Then he straightened up, his expression serious and resolute as he said, "Disciple Mo Wenjie solemnly swears to follow the instructions of the Queen Mother. Regardless of the hardships ahead, I will give my all, fulfill my mission without shame, and absolutely not let you, the Queen Mother, have the slightest disappointment in me!"
The bright eyes of Golden Boy, as brilliant as the stars in the sky at night, were shining with an indispensable and resolute light. This light was so strong and stable that it seemed to be able to penetrate all darkness and obstacles, straight towards the distance.
From Golden Boy's eyes, a clear sense of firm conviction and determination can be felt. It seems as though he had already foreseen the supreme honor and pride that awaited him upon completing his task. That honor would perhaps shine like a brilliant sunrise, illuminating the path ahead; that pride, much like the surging waves of the ocean, would continually batter the most tender corners of his heart.
After receiving the order, Golden Boy set off immediately. She transformed into a ray of golden light, piercing through layers of mist, and raced towards the direction of Mo Wenjie and the others. Mo Wenjie and the rest were resting in a valley when they suddenly felt a powerful presence approaching. The group became vigilant, with Mo Wenjie standing in the forefront, preparing for battle.
In a flash, Golden Boy appeared in front of them. "Mo Wenjie, I have been ordered by the Queen Mother to take your life today," Golden Boy coldly said. However, Mo Wenjie showed no fear and smiled, "Then let's see if you have the ability to do so." After saying that, Mo Wenjie attacked first, using his spiritual power to freeze the air around him into ice blades aimed at Golden Boy. Golden Boy dodged easily and spat out a ball of golden fire that coiled like a snake towards Mo Wenjie. Seeing this, Huang Ling'er waved her magic staff and transformed it into a barrier to block the fire. The battle between them was intense and fierce.
However, as the battle intensified between them, an unusual feeling began to surge up in Golden Boy's heart unconsciously. With each move and countermove, Golden Boy felt that the Mo Wenjie before her, who was locked in fierce combat with her, was not as vile and despicable as she had been told. On the contrary, Golden Boy could vaguely sense a hint of kindness and helplessness from his eyes and combat style.
This discovery piqued Golden Boy's curiosity: Could it be that all the evil deeds attributed to Mo Wenjie were mere rumors? Or was there some hidden secret and suffering behind them? The battle that seemed straightforward and clear-cut between good and evil was now shrouded in a veil of mystery, making it difficult to discern the true reasons behind it.
Golden Boy decided to retreat for the time being, jumping out of the battlefield. Mo Wenjie and the others also stopped fighting and looked at him with guarded expressions.
"Mo Wenjie, rumors say you have committed countless evils, but it seems not to be the case now. Can you explain this?" Golden Boy asked.
Mo Wenjie sighed and said, "Those so-called evil deeds were just an excuse fabricated by the Queen Mother to get rid of me. The punishment she imposed on the Cowboy and the Spinner was something I couldn't bear to see, so we helped them. But who knew she would turn against us and accuse us of wrongdoing?"
Golden Boy's heart skipped a beat. If it were true, then she had just helped the Queen Mother. At that moment, a rebuke from Queen Mother echoed in her mind, "Golden Boy, do not believe his nonsense. Kill him quickly!"
Golden Boy bit her teeth and shouted into the void, "Queen Mother, there are many doubts about this matter. Please, Queen Mother, recall your order. Let me investigate the truth before making a decision." The Queen Mother was extremely angry and cut off the connection.
Golden Boy looked at Mo Wenjie with a fierce gaze, his eyes revealing a glimmer of trust, but more caution and skepticism. He slightly frowned and spoke slowly, "I do believe what you say to some extent. However, words alone cannot prove anything. If I am to fully trust you, I will need solid evidence to back it up. Given the urgency of the situation, I will temporarily use my abilities to hold off the Queen Mother and give you some time to search for key evidence that can prove your innocence. Remember, be quick!"
Hearing these words, Mo Wenjie felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his eyes were filled with gratitude. He nodded firmly, indicating that he understood Golden Boy's intentions and was determined to find the truth and clear his innocence at any cost.
Seeing this situation, Golden Boy knew that time was of the essence. Without another word, he emitted a brilliant light and transformed into a dazzling beam of golden light. This golden beam streaked through the sky at an incredible speed, directly towards the location of Queen Mother. Its velocity was so high that it seemed to transcend spatial limitations; in an instant, it vanished from the sight of everyone present.
On the other side, Mo Wenjie was also extremely anxious. He knew that time was running out and there was no room for delay. Without hesitation, he waved his hand to signal his companions to act quickly. The group responded and scattered rapidly, searching for any possible clues or evidence that might exist.
At this moment, all the characters, including Mo Wenjie, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, and the enigmatic Golden Beetle Immortal, all shook their heads helplessly and were filled with disbelief. They could not believe that the mighty Queen Mother would choose to keep the truth about the love story of Niulang and Zhuoyu completely hidden because she was concerned that it would tarnish her image! As a result, the entire celestial realm was completely unaware of this!
To be precise, this is a love story that deeply touches people's hearts! Niulang and Zhuoyu, defying the strict edicts of the Celestial Court, boldly loved and cherished each other. It was meant to become an immortal tale of romance that would echo through the ages.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Queen Mother disregarded the feelings and wishes of others entirely, acting without mercy and with a cruel heart merely because of her own trivial personal desires. She had buried that originally beautiful and dreamlike love story alive in the boundless abyss of darkness!
After learning about this, all the people were filled with indignation and burning with anger. They found it hard to understand why the mighty Queen Mother, with her high position and power in the celestial court, would be so narrow-minded and self-interested. Could it be that power and status had blinded her eyes, causing her to lose the most basic human nature and kindness?
Meanwhile, people felt deep sympathy and pity for the unfortunate couple of Niulang and Zhuoyu. They were supposed to live happily together, sharing the sweetness and warmth of love, but now they were cruelly separated by Queen Mother. They had to endure the pain of separation and longing. Such an unfair fate, how could one not feel heartbroken?
Mo Wenjie furrowed his brow, pondering over how to handle the matter. After much contemplation and weighing of options, he bit his teeth and made a silent resolve to tell Golden Boy everything that Niulang and Zhuoyu had experienced in the mortal world.
Mo Wenjie knew that this decision might lead to a series of unforeseeable consequences, but his conscience wouldn't let him keep it hidden any longer. If Golden Boy genuinely wanted to know the truth, he had every right to investigate deeply into the events in the mortal world. Perhaps then, Golden Boy could have a comprehensive and clear understanding of the entire situation.
However, if Golden Boy had no interest in the truth or refused to believe it, Mo Wenjie was well aware that he had only one option left—to engage in a battle to the death with Golden Boy, not stopping until one was dead. Because once the news spread, it would bring about serious consequences beyond imagination. He couldn't just sit by and watch. The thought brought a heavy pressure upon him, but no matter how difficult the challenges ahead were, he was ready to face everything.
