"In the destiny I saw, Chang'e had also been controlled."
After leaving Gonggong's Water World, Fuxi turned and headed for the Moon Palace, seeking out Hou Yi and Chang'e.
Hou Yi loved Chang'e deeply, so he naturally could not have harmed her. Thus, the couple were equally trustworthy.
"There was no black aura? The Heart-Cleansing Incantation didn't cleanse any black aura from your divine soul?"
After Fuxi gave the Heart-Cleansing Incantation to Chang'e and had her use it to cleanse her divine soul, he discovered in horror that no black aura had been cleansed from within it.
"This... this..."
Fuxi was utterly aghast, staring wide-eyed in disbelief.
In the destiny he had seen, Chang'e had clearly been controlled by the hidden mastermind, and Hou Yi had been heartbroken beyond measure. Why, then... had Chang'e used the Heart-Cleansing Incantation without cleansing any black aura from her divine soul?
"What His Majesty Fuxi said about someone controlling her must be true."
Hou Yi and Chang'e exchanged a glance, fear lingering in their hearts. Being controlled and reduced to another's puppet—the consequences were simply unimaginable.
Hou Yi and Chang'e had not the slightest doubt about Fuxi's character. This Human Saint Emperor of boundless merit was not merely a man of exceptional integrity.
"I am ashamed! Perhaps I really was mistaken. I have only just begun to comprehend the Dao of Primal Supreme Ease. It is possible that I saw it wrong."
Fuxi shook his head repeatedly, feeling that such a possibility was not entirely impossible.
"No, Your Majesty did not see it wrong."
Hou Yi smiled and glanced at Chang'e. "Do you remember the Osmanthus Wine that was borrowed? Do you remember the line of writing left on the ground? I fear... we encountered an expert."
"That must be it!"
Chang'e laughed happily.
