When an immortal maiden got angry, the consequences were severe. How severe? She started telling the truth.
"Chu Fei, do you know why I wanted to become Dao companions with you?"
Chu Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone somewhat subdued. "Before I saw your true form, I thought the Ascending Dragon Hall's technology had attracted you. But now, I don't know."
Chu Fei looked at Qingxuan True Monarch, his mind racing.
By now, it was basically certain that Qingxuan True Monarch was at least a Golden Immortal—and an unparalleled immortal maiden at that.
To put it bluntly, Chu Fei was a little unworthy of becoming Qingxuan True Monarch's Dao companion.
So there had to be something else going on.
What could make a female Golden Immortal "marry beneath herself"?
Qingxuan True Monarch spoke. "Because you carry a Yuanhui's worth of fortune! Do you remember the first line of the Dao companion oath? 'Share blessings together'!"
It was like a bolt of lightning had struck Chu Fei's soul.
Damn it, I reviewed the entire text and found nothing wrong, but the very first sentence was the problem! That was really unexpected.
The root of the issue was that Chu Fei did not understand the deeper logic behind Dao companions. Nor had he ever seriously considered fortune.
Chu Fei had done little research into fortune and paid it little attention. Scientific development was destined not to believe in such illusory things as fate and fortune—it believed only in humanity itself! This was confidence, absolute confidence!
Although the God of War Hall had once stirred Chu Fei's "fortune," he still did not care much about things like fortune or destiny. It was not that he was stubborn. It was simply that there was no way to study such things for the time
