Princess Longji's mood is very complicated.
Half of it is because as a daughter, she reluctantly obeys the orders of Imperial Father.
Half of it is the confusion and anxiety about one's own destiny as a chess piece.
Carrying the cold will of Jade Emperor called "persuasion" but actually "testing", she set foot on the cloud road to Skeleton Mountain alone.
In her imagination, that Skeleton Mountain must be filled with demonic energy and filled with resentful souls. It was a more terrifying and evil place than Jiuyou Blood Sea.
And the madman Qin Feng who dared to openly challenge Heavenly Court, deposed King Li, and detained Yao Ji's aunt, should be a peerless devil with three heads and six arms, a green face and fangs.
However, when her Auspicious Cloud actually reached the sky above Skeleton Mountain, Princess Longji was completely stunned.
No magic.
No resentful soul.
There is no trace of filth or evil as imagined.
What comes into view is a towering Immortal Palace suspended above the sea of clouds.
The entire Immortal Palace was shrouded in the purple spirit of the fairy spirit that was so rich that it almost turned into substance, with thousands of auspicious colors and thousands of rays of light.
White jade is the steps, spiritual springs are the pools, and countless fairy flowers and treasures that can only be seen in the Heavenly Court Imperial Garden. Here, like weeds on the roadside, they grow wantonly and bloom with the purest vitality of life.
Several snow-white cranes were combing their feathers gracefully. Not far away, several jade unicorns were chasing and playing on the grass. When they saw someone coming, they not only were not surprised, but also cast curious and friendly glances.
The atmosphere here is free, peaceful, and powerful, but it also carries a kind of warmth and tranquility that comes from the origin of the great road.
It formed the most stark and cruel contrast with the majestic, solemn, hierarchical Grand Pure Palace who even breathed carefully.
Princess Longji even produced a ridiculous illusion.
Here, even breathing is much smoother than at Heavenly Court.
Just when she was in a trance, a gentle female voice came from below.
"Is this person Princess Longji?"
Long Ji came back to his senses and saw a peerless fairy in a moon palace dress standing at the door of the Immortal Palace, smiling lightly at her.
It's Chang'e!
Princess Longji was shocked, and quickly lowered his head and saluted Chang'e: "Long Ji has seen Sister Chang'e."
Long Ji has always had some respect and sympathy in his heart for this Moon Palace Fairy, who is known as the most beautiful in the three realms.
"Princess, there is no need to be polite. Alliance Leader has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me." Chang'e's smile was gentle, not at all hostile. Instead, it seemed like she was welcoming a long-lost family member.
This friendly attitude made Long Ji's hanging heart relax a little.
Following in the footsteps of Chang'e, walking through the long corridor paved with white jade, and walking through the garden with jingling spiritual springs, Long Ji's mind was shocked again and again by the heritage of this Goddess Palace.
Every scenery here seems to be completely natural, with no trace of artificial axe, but it perfectly conforms to some mysterious truth. Just one look at it makes people feel relaxed and happy, Primordial Spirit Qingming.
Finally, the two came to a magnificent main hall.
Before entering the door, a faint sound of relaxed laughter could be heard.
"... Sister Yao Ji, your tea-making skills are much better than Fairy Chang'e." This was a female voice with a hint of coldness but no malice. I guess it was Niangniang Shi Ji.
"Sister is joking. How can I compare with my sisters with my little skills?" This was the voice of Aunt Yao Ji! It didn't sound like there was any fear of being coerced, but instead contained a trace of peace and tranquility from the heart.
Princess Longji's footsteps paused subconsciously.
She couldn't believe her ears.
This... this is completely different from the miserable scene of being in dire straits and being coerced by demons as described by Imperial Father!
Chang'e noticed her hesitation and opened the palace door with a smile.
"Alliance Leader, Princess Longji are here."
The hall suddenly became bright.
Princess Longji raised his eyes and looked cautiously into the hall.
Then, her eyes completely froze.
I saw a white figure on the main seat of the main hall, leaning there casually.
Next to him, Niangniang Shi Ji, Fairy Chang'e, and his aunt Yao Ji were sitting on both sides, looking calm and smiling. There was Spiritual Fruit fragrant tea on the table. The atmosphere was so harmonious that it was less like a monarch and his ministers, and more like a chat between family members.
And the man sitting in the main seat...
Princess Longji's breathing suddenly stopped.
What a handsome and extraordinary face that is.
The eyebrows are straight into the temples, the phoenix eyes are sinking, the bridge of the nose is as high as the ridge of the sacred mountain, and the thin lips are holding a faint smile at the moment.
His beauty is not the delicacy and majesty of those golden boys of Heavenly Court, but a kind of calmness and freedom that is detached from the world and seems not to be stained by any mundane worldly things.
Especially those eyes, which were as deep as the vast starry sky. Just by being glanced at by that gaze, Long Ji felt as if his own Primordial Spirit was about to be sucked in. There were violent ripples in the lake of his heart that had never been seen before.
This man is Qin Feng?
That peerless madman who is rumored to be extremely domineering and who treats Heavenly Court like nothing?
Long Ji's heart was beating wildly uncontrollably. She took a deep breath, forced down the panic in her heart, and bowed to Qin Feng according to the etiquette she had practiced countless times before coming.
"Heavenly Court Long Ji, seen Qin Feng Alliance Leader."
She originally thought that she would see a ferocious maniac and hear some sarcastic threats.
However, nothing happened as expected.
"Hmm."
Qin Feng just responded lightly, his voice was calm and gentle, and no emotion could be heard.
Immediately, under Princess Longji's extremely astonished eyes, the legendary devil stood up in person, picked up the jade pot on the table, walked up to her, and filled the empty teacup in front of her with a cup of fragrant Spirit Tea.
"Princess, it's hard work coming from afar, so moisturize your throat first."
Qin Feng's voice was very light, but it was like a warm current that instantly penetrated all Princess Longji's psychological defenses.
She stared blankly at the man in front of her.
Look at his clear-jointed, clean and slender hands.
Look at the plain, but not perfunctory smile on the corner of his mouth.
Then I think back to my Imperial Father who was sitting high above Nine Dragon Throne, who even looked at me with scrutiny and calculation.
An indescribable grievance and throbbing, like a flood bursting from a dam, exploded in her heart with a bang!
What a huge contrast between this image and the domineering and decisive image in the rumors!
The purest tenderness and respect that this top powerhouse inadvertently reveals is more lethal than any domineering declaration or any gorgeous rhetoric.
In an instant, it hit Princess Longji's girl's heart with great precision, which had never been moved by any man.
