The divine words fell.
The divination bamboo slips changed at once. The slip bearing "Bai Xiuxiu" began to merge with the one bearing "Long Tianyang."
Then...
A new divination slip took shape.
[Bai Xiuxiu/Long Tianyang.]
At the sight of this result, the Mother of Deep Crimson nearly dropped to the floor in a thunderstruck heap.
She could hardly believe it.
"Damn it!"
"Lan Xuanyu!"
"You cheating bastard!"
"Two women at once!"
She turned her curses on Long Tianyang, too.
"Who would've thought?"
"The mighty ruler of a Demi-God Realm, falling in love overnight."
"Then again..."
"You were imprisoned by the beings of your own plane, trapped in a Sealing Grand Formation where no light of day could reach you. How pitiful. I suppose it's only natural someone would find a way into your heart then."
She sounded understanding, but disgust was written all over her face.
The Mother of Deep Crimson had always considered Long Tianyang a rival. Now that rival had fallen in love—and worse, she was competing with another woman. No, with another fish.
She was ashamed to be counted among Long Tianyang's kind.
Naturally, Long Tianyang saw the look of disgust on the Mother of Deep Crimson's face.
Her lucid consciousness, tucked away in a corner of the Sea of Consciousness, nearly toppled over in shock as well.
The Mother of Deep Crimson had finished her verification.
And then...
For the first time, she had looked down on Long Tianyang.
Add the curses she had blurted out, and there was only one possible truth.
Di Tian had been right.
By the logic of Lan Xuanyu's undercover story in the Longma Demi-God Realm, the future revealed by the divination meant that she was the one who would fall in love!
And compete with a fish for a man.
