Goddess Palace The noise gradually dissipated, and the night was like water, washing away the glitz and fanaticism of the day.
Qin Feng took Long Ji through the corridor with fairy lanterns and all the way to the Yaohua Hall where Yao Ji lived.
The hall is quiet and elegant, with a furnace of sandalwood and smoke curling up, blocking out all the disturbances.
"You two, aunt and nephew, have a nice chat."
Qin Feng's eyes stayed for a moment on Long Ji's pretty face, which still looked a little uneasy and uneasy. Then he smiled gently, turned around and left the space to them.
He knows very well that some knots in his heart need Blood Connection's relatives to be better solved.
The palace door slowly closed, cutting off everything from the outside world.
Yao Ji took Long Ji's hand and asked her to sit down next to him. He looked at his niece, whom he had loved since childhood, with eyes full of love and distress.
"Are you still afraid?" Yao Ji's voice was soft and had the power to soothe people.
Long Ji Looking at the aunt in front of me who had just escaped from the sea of suffering, but whose brows were already blooming with new glory, her chaotic and restless heart miraculously calmed down.
She shook her head vigorously, then nodded slightly, her eyes slightly red.
"Aunt, I... I've thought about it."
Long Ji took a deep breath, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and finally expressed the thought that had been lingering in his heart for a long time but never dared to touch.
"I don't want to go back Heavenly Court, and I don't want to do anything Princess Longji anymore."
"I want to stay, be with my aunt, and be with... everyone."
These words seemed to have drained all her energy and energy. After she finished speaking, her shoulders slumped slightly, but it seemed as if a huge burden had been lifted, and her whole body felt relaxed as never before.
Yao Ji listened quietly without any surprise.
She stretched out her hand, gently stroked Long Ji's silky long hair, and said softly, "Silly girl, this is your home. If you want to stay, who can drive you away?"
"But where Imperial Father and the Queen Mother..." Long Ji bit her lower lip, a trace of struggle and pain flashed across her face, "If I leave without saying goodbye, it would be unfilial. But if I go back, I will never... come out again."
When he thought of the cold and majestic Grand Pure Palace, and when he thought of Imperial Father's unbearable eyes, Long Ji's body shivered uncontrollably.
Yao Ji looked at her like this, feeling more and more pity in his heart.
Was she not like this once upon a time?
Between family love and freedom, I struggle so hard that I feel miserable.
"Now that you've decided, let's make an end of it."
Yao Ji's eyes became firm. She held Long Ji's hand tightly and said word by word, "We are not betraying anyone, we just want to choose the path we want to take. Tell them your decision, not with a gesture of prayer, but with an attitude of declaration."
"Your destiny, from now on, should only be in your own hands."
Yao Ji's words were like thunder, exploding in Long Ji's mind!
Announcement?
Not a prayer?
Long Ji's eyes gradually lit up with an unprecedented look.
Yes, she is not begging for Imperial Father's permission, she is declaring her new life!
The courage that was ignited by Qin Feng on top of Yaochi was completely detonated by Yao Ji at this moment!
"I understand, aunt!"
Long Ji stood up abruptly. There was no longer any confusion or hesitation in his eyes. Instead, there was a determination to break the boat!
She closed her eyes, and the Magic Power in her body began to flow slowly.
Wisps, wisps, of Magic Power, which is not very powerful, overflowed from her fingertips and condensed in front of her.
That Magic Power is so pure, with a hint of nobility belonging to the blood of a true dragon, and even more of a girl's infinite longing for the future.
Soon, a homing pigeon whose entire body was made of light slowly took shape in front of her.
The homing pigeon was lifelike, with a faint golden light flowing on its wings.
Long Ji opened his eyes, looked at the carrier pigeon, and transformed the last words he wanted to say to his parents into a Spiritual Sense, integrating them all into it.
"Imperial Father, mother, please forgive my daughter for being unfilial."
"Although the canary in the cage is luxurious, it has no freedom. What my daughter longs for is an eagle that can fight with the sky."
"From now on, my daughter is going to pursue her own happiness. I hope Queen Imperial Father will take care of her..."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand.
"Go ahead."
The homing pigeon made of light emits a clear cry, flutters its wings, penetrates the roof of the Yaohua Hall, turns into a stream of light, and gallops away towards the distant and cold sky!
Heavenly Court, Grand Pure Palace.
Dead silence.
A bone-chilling silence.
The broken jade case had been removed long ago, but the aura of humiliation still lingered in the empty hall for a long time.
Jade Emperor was alone, sitting on Dragon Throne, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice could be condensed out of it.
He closed his eyes, his chest heaved violently, and his mind kept replaying the domineering figure of Qin Feng above Yaochi, as well as the vague mockery of the beings in the three realms.
Luck was taken away, majesty was wiped out!
This will cause him more pain than anyone stabbing him with a knife!
At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light pierced the void and instantly appeared in the center of the hall.
That is a homing pigeon condensed by Magic Power.
Jade Emperor's brows frowned suddenly.
This smell of Magic Power... is it Long Ji?
Did she want to beg for mercy when she sent the carrier pigeon back? Did she finally realize that she was afraid and wanted to beg herself, Imperial Father, to forgive her?
A trace of morbid joy just rose from the bottom of Jade Emperor's heart.
The next second, the Spiritual Sense contained in the carrier pigeon unfolded directly in his mind.
When the comparison between the two sentences "canary in the cage" and "fighting eagle" came into my mind, Jade Emperor's face instantly started to turn red!
When the last sentence, which was light but full of determination, "Wish Queen Imperial Father cherish it..." sounded, the joy that just arose was gone!
Instead, there was a volcanic eruption of endless rage!
"Insolent!!!"
An extremely suppressed roar burst out from the depths of Jade Emperor's throat!
This is not asking for mercy!
This is a declaration! It is a demonstration! It is a declaration to sever ties!
How dare his most beloved daughter betray him in this way!
That phrase "treasure" was like the loudest slap in the face, hitting him, the Supreme Being of the Three Realms, in the face!
It seems to be saying: I'm leaving, you can take care of yourselves!
"Evil!!"
Jade Emperor suddenly stretched out his hand, his face twisted with anger, full of ferocity!
He grabbed the light carrier pigeon that was still hovering in the air and squeezed it hard with his five fingers!
"Crack!"
A crisp cracking sound resounded through the dead silence of the Grand Pure Palace.
The homing pigeon that carried Long Ji's final farewell instantly turned into spots of light in the sky and disappeared.
At the same time, Goddess Palace, Yaohua Hall.
Long Ji, who had been looking up at the sky, suddenly trembled!
At that moment, she felt that an invisible and extremely heavy thread that had been binding her soul was broken!
That silk thread connects her to Heavenly Court, representing the cause and effect of father and daughter, and the fate of king and minister!
Broken!
Completely broken!
"Boom--!"
An unprecedented sense of relief, like a flood bursting from a dam, instantly swept through her limbs and body, washing away her every thought!
It feels like a traveler who has been walking for countless years carrying hundreds of millions of sacred mountains on his back, and in an instant, all the burdens are lifted!
Have fun!
Transparent!
A kind of joy called "freedom" that came from the depths of her soul made her want to look up to the sky and scream!
Her state of mind, at this moment, was sublimated like never before!
All the grievances, unwillingness, confusion, and fear in the past, at this moment of cutting off the cause and effect, have all turned into materials for mental cultivation!
The cultivation bottleneck that had troubled her for countless years and had never been able to break through actually made a "click-click" sound driven by this sublimation of her mood, and there were faint signs of loosening!
Long Ji slowly closed her eyes, feeling the new power in her body, feeling the freedom from the shackles deep in her soul, a line of clear tears slowly slid down the corners of her eyes.
These are not tears of sadness, but tears of new life.
She slowly turned around and looked through the palace door, as if she saw the figure standing outside the palace, waiting for her quietly.
That face that was always calm and breezy, could always hold up the sky for her at the most critical moment.
At this moment, Long Ji's eyes no longer held any humility or anxiety.
Instead, there is a new light as bright as a star, and a love as strong as wine that can no longer be concealed.
Imperial Father, you are right, my daughter is indeed unfilial.
Because my daughter has found something more important than filial piety.
That is... happiness.
