Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 397 Fragrant Honey 42

The old man couldn't help but laugh after hearing Jin Mi's words: "What a beautiful fairy! Her appearance alone makes her one of the most precious fairies I have ever met in my life!"

Princess Liuying felt that the old man had no ill intentions, so she followed his words and asked, "If Jin Mi is the second most outstanding fairy you have ever met, then who is the other one?"

After hearing Princess Liuying's question, the old man's smile faded a lot, and he said with a little regret: "That fairy came here to forget her love, but there is only the Wangchuan River here, and the water of the Wangchuan River is full of obsession. It's a pity for that smart god..."

Princess Liuying didn't think of it for a moment, but Xufeng had already guessed that the stunning goddess who came to Wangchuan to forget her love that the old man mentioned was most likely Jin Mi's biological mother, the Flower Goddess Zifen.

Jin Mi was still racking her brains to identify the ingredients in the soup, but she could only identify two of them and could not guess the others.

The old man smiled as he watched Jin Mi frown and think deeply, as if he had forgotten everything around him. He had no intention of disturbing her, but after a while a group of confused ghosts came to the bridge, and were about to cross the Naihe Bridge to be reincarnated.

Xu Feng quickly pulled Jin Mi and Princess Liu Ying to the side, and saw the old man skillfully scooping up bowls of soup and handing them to the ghosts lining up, muttering to himself: "The joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness in life are all illusions. Drink this soup and you will be safe and sound in the afterlife."

Jin Mi was very keenly aware that after these ghosts drank the soup, even their souls became a little more stable, and their bodies seemed to be washed and brighter. Just looking at their expressions, after drinking the soup, it was as if they had forgotten something, and they went from being muddle-headed and confused to looking clear but a little dazed.

Jin Mi was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "They became... sober... after drinking the soup?"

Only after seeing off the seven or eight people in the group before him did the old man have time to talk to Jin Mi: "Yes, human souls are different from the souls of gods, demons, or elves. After they have not experienced a lifetime, their souls will be damaged. Previously, a venerable told me that I should cook a pot of soup here to comfort those souls."

Princess Liuying and Xufeng exchanged a glance, and Xufeng immediately asked, "Excuse me, who is that venerable..."

The old man smiled and said, "A venerable is a venerable. She should become the third god on par with the Heavenly Emperor and the Blue Emperor, but she refused."

Xu Feng and Princess Liu Ying knew that it was impossible to get any news about the so-called Venerable who caused the changes in the ghost world from the old man today, but the content of the changes was fine, so Princess Liu Ying asked: "Did the golden light that rushed straight into the sky come from the Naihe Bridge?"

The smile on the old man's face deepened immediately, and he looked at Princess Liuying with some fondness, "Yes, yes, in the past I only had a small bottomless broken boat, ferrying people back and forth between the Wangchuan River. Now, I am guarding this Naihe Bridge, and I don't have to work hard from now on."

Jin Mi spent a lot of effort but still couldn't taste what was added to the soup, so she couldn't help but ask directly: "Old man, what else did you add to this soup?"

The old man couldn't help but twist his beard and hold back for a moment, knowing that Jin Mi was getting impatient and ready to continue urging him, so he opened his mouth to reveal the answer: "In addition to the Yellow Spring Water, there is also the Forgetful River Water, and the Seven Emotions and Six Desires are added to it, which makes this pot of Forgetful Soul Soup."

Xu Feng was about to go back in time to the Heavenly Palace to report, and Princess Liu Ying was also about to go back to the Demon Realm to report, so Jin Mi said goodbye to them, saying that she was going back to Luoxiang Mansion and to see the God of Wind.

Seeing that Jin Mi insisted, Xu Feng had no choice but to let her do what she wanted. However, the two of them agreed to meet at Luoxiang Mansion in a few days. Jin Mi agreed nonchalantly, but this made Princess Liuying, who was watching from the side, a little worried.

Somehow, Princess Liuying looked at Jin Mi who had tasted the Soul-Forgetting Soup and always felt that she was a little cold towards Xu Feng. But now was not the time to talk about these things. Princess Liuying could only keep this matter in her heart and wait for the next time they met to find a chance to talk to Xu Feng and Jin Mi.

After hearing Xufeng's reply, Taiwei had some guesses about the so-called "Venerable" mentioned by the ferryman of Wangchuan River. He felt that whether it was the Naihe Bridge or the Forgetful Soul Soup, they were all related to the Qing Emperor of Taihao Palace.

Taiwei felt that he could no longer ignore Qingdi, so he turned around and went to Shangqingtian to talk to Doumu Yuanjun.

Even though Taiwei only had some tacit understanding with Dou Mu Yuanjun in the past, if he really wanted to cooperate with such a Daluo Jinxian, it would definitely be like courting disaster. But at this moment, no matter what means Taiwei used against Taihao Palace, it had no effect. Even the Qiongqi he sent out was directly detained, so he couldn't care about much at this moment.

After some greetings, Dou Mu Yuanjun had already guessed Taiwei's purpose. It just so happened that she also needed someone to take the lead in dealing with the Taihao Palace. Taiwei, the Emperor whose luck had been lost too much, was undoubtedly the best tool.

However, when Taiwei opened his mouth, he actually asked Dou Mu Yuanjun about Jiang Xinxin's origins.

Dou Mu Yuanjun was slightly surprised, but then calmed down and said truthfully: "Regarding the Green Emperor, I don't have her past, nor can I see her future. I don't even know where she is now."

Taiwei's surprise was genuine. "Is there a being in this world that you, Yuanjun, cannot see through?"

Dou Mu Yuanjun smiled and said, "Throughout the ages, those who have become emperors have all been chosen by heaven and destined to be emperors. However, our Qing Emperor is not one of them. She emerged out of nowhere and strongly divided the East, but heaven does not allow anyone to predict everything about her."

Taiwei understood. No wonder Taishang Laojun closed the Tushita Palace and claimed to be refining elixirs since the appearance of the Green Emperor. So many years have passed, and the Tushita Palace has not been opened again. Obviously, he also knew that the Green Emperor was a person protected by the Heavenly Dao.

Taiwei has always been jealous of this kind of favored child of heaven. Now he can't even figure out his origins, so he really doesn't know where to target him. Especially since Jiang Xinxin is nominally on an equal footing with the Emperor of Heaven, ordinary conspiracies and tricks will have no effect at all.

Moreover, it seems that Taihao Palace is indeed full of talented people. There are not many gods in the Heavenly Palace who can tame Qiongqi, but the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the gate of Taihao Palace can trap Qiongqi. This shows the gap between them.

Although Taiwei Bai was a little disappointed after the trip, it was actually nothing like that. What he really couldn't accept was that Runyu returned from the calamity and directly survived the wild fire and thunder calamity on Chengtian Terrace, and upgraded his dragon body to Yinglong body. Now he was only one wind calamity away from the Emperor of Heaven!
