Chapter 300 Xuannv 165
The sea of clouds in the Thirty-Third Heaven surged with dark golden waves, the once gentle celestial light now shrouded in a faint aura of malevolence, even the wind sweeping across the jade steps carried a hint of chilling menace. Jiaojiao leaned against Donghua's chest, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, making her serene face appear even more beautiful. A wisp of shimmering white celestial power clung to her fingertips as she meticulously carved a piece of Kunlun jade in her palm. The intricate array patterns on the jade's surface were beginning to take shape, each stroke precise and clean. Even nestled in her lover's arms, her carving hand never paused, and as her celestial power flowed, the edges of the array shimmered with subtle light.
"But how come Miaoluo arrived at the Ninth Heaven so quickly this time?" She looked up at Donghua, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible surprise. "I didn't see the Fox Clan or Mo Yuan either." Logically speaking, at such a turbulent time in the Three Realms, the God Mo Yuan has always taken it upon himself to protect the Three Realms, so there's no reason for him to be absent. Although the Fox Clan is based in Qingqiu, they also have a long-standing connection with the Ninth Heaven, yet they are nowhere to be seen this time.
Donghua lowered his gaze to the focused profile of the person in his arms, his fingertips unconsciously brushing against the jade hairpin in her hair, his eyes as deep as an ancient pool. He wore a long, black robe with wide sleeves, the hem embroidered with dark gold cloud patterns, rising and falling gently with his breath. Hearing Jiaojiao's words, a faint sneer appeared on his lips, the smile not reaching his eyes, but rather carrying a hint of coldness: "I told Moyuan not to come."
As he finished speaking, he reached out and tightened his grip on Jiao Jiao's waist, his gaze fixed on the increasingly intense malevolent aura at the edge of the sea of clouds. His voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority: "What happens to Qing Cang later is Mo Yuan's tribulation. Every action is preordained, and I cannot interfere." The cycle of Heaven's will continues, and everyone has their own tribulations to overcome. The entanglement between Mo Yuan and Qing Cang has accumulated over the years, and it is no longer something that outsiders can easily interfere with. Even if he were the Eastern Emperor, he would not wish to defy the will of Heaven.
Jiaojiao paused slightly as the array on the Kunlun Jade was updated. She turned to look at Donghua, her eyes showing understanding yet still some doubt: "What about the Fox Clan? Emperor Bai Zhi of Qingqiu has always been mindful of the bigger picture, how could he stand idly by?"
"That old fox Bai Zhi just said that their fox clan is not good at fighting, so they won't participate." Donghua sneered, his tone even more sarcastic. "The foxes of Qingqiu are always good at finding high-sounding reasons. Not good at fighting? Back when Bai Zhi was conquering the four seas and eight wastelands, he didn't say that." He knew Bai Zhi's thoughts all too well. He simply didn't want the people of Qingqiu to be involved in this conflict, fearing that it would damage the foundation of the fox clan. But such a straightforward excuse was just too hypocritical.
Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao sighed softly, the immortal power at her fingertips becoming increasingly solid, and the light on the array growing ever brighter. She knew that Donghua had always disliked such convoluted schemes, and Bai Zhi's old fox excuse was naturally exposed in front of him. "So that's how it is," she murmured, her gaze returning to the Kunlun Jade in her palm, "But Miaoluo, are you really sure you want to subdue her instead of letting her dissipate into the world?"
Donghua lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, his tone soothing yet brimming with absolute confidence: "It's alright." He raised his hand, a wisp of dark immortal power condensing in his palm, touching the luminous white immortal power in Jiaojiao's palm. The two forces intertwined and instantly flowed into the Kunlun Jade's array, causing the array's patterns to light up with dazzling light. "With this array and your Pure World White Lotus, there won't be any problems. Besides, the Heavenly Dao hasn't stopped us, has it?"
Inside the Pure White Lotus, Miaoluo's malevolent aura had been purified by thirty percent. Faintly, one could hear Miaoluo cursing. Jiaojiao leaned against Donghua's chest, feeling his calm aura, and felt much more at ease. She quickened her pace, and the array on the Kunlun Jade finally took full shape, radiating a powerful protective force, building an invisible barrier around the two of them.
Looking at the composed demeanor of the person in his arms, Donghua's eyes flashed with warmth. The mockery from before had vanished, leaving only tenderness. He tightened his arms, protecting her even more closely: "Once the magic array is complete, we'll go to the Azure Sea and the Spirit Realm. Miaoluo will be entrusted to Chonglin, who will take her to the Heavenly Pool every day to soak in the turbid air and listen to those old immortals preach."
Jiaojiao looked up at him and smiled, her eyes crinkling like pear blossoms under the moon: "Okay."
