Chapter 221: Sweet Honey Ashes Like Frost 42
Hearing what Ling Xi said, every word made Si Li feel heartbroken.
She hadn't seen her Li'er for thousands of years. She knew that he was not having a good time in the Heavenly Palace over the years, but she couldn't appear in front of him.
If possible, she also wanted her children to call her mother, if she could still survive.
Si Li looked at Ling Xi with tearful eyes, wiped her tears hurriedly, and said: "Thank you for coming here to remind me, I will pass the message to the Rat Fairy."
Ling Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart settled down.
"Then I'll trouble Lord Dongting." Ling Xi nodded. Actually, what Sili did was not useless. It's just that once her whereabouts were discovered by Tu Yao, Tu Yao would definitely not let her go. For Runyu, Sili had to survive.
Ling Xi told Si Li some more things, discussed his next plan with her and what he needed her to do, and then left the mansion.
Ling Xi was led outside again by the little boy named Li'er.
In fact, when Ling Xi thought about what Si Li had done to Runyu, cutting off the dragon's horns, pulling out the dragon's scales, and damaging Runyu's foundation at a young age, she didn't want to save Si Li anymore.
But when she thought of all the tragic things Sili had experienced, she felt pity for this woman.
She fell in love with someone she shouldn't have, but at that time, Sili was just a girl who was just beginning to fall in love. The real culprits were the Emperor Taiwei and the Queen Tu Yao. The Queen wanted to use her son to consolidate her power, and the Emperor wanted to disintegrate the relationship between the various races of the water tribe. Sili and her dragon fish tribe became victims.
In essence, it's all about fighting for power and profit.
Moreover, Runyu should not blame his mother. If he remembered everything, he would probably look forward to seeing his mother again.
After returning to the Heavenly Palace, Ling Xi became busy again.
Now Jin Mi's meteorite pill has been destroyed, and although the seal on her body has not yet been lifted, Jin Mi already knows that she has to make progress.
Therefore, Ling Xi taught her to practice magic every day to improve her skills so that she would have the ability to protect herself.
Time flies, and a month has passed. It was the Queen Mother's birthday, and a banquet was held in Jiuxiaoyun Palace. After talking to Runyu, Ling Xi took Jin Mi to the banquet.
Speaking of which, this was Ling Xi's first time to attend the so-called banquet in heaven. After all, the banquets held in heaven were quite varied. There were the birthdays of the Emperor of Heaven, the Queen of Heaven, and the God of Fire, celebration banquets for the God of Fire every time he returned from a battle, and banquets for whenever he got some treasure. Ling Xi was fed up with so many banquets.
Plus, she was committed to being an invisible person in heaven, so naturally she wouldn't attend those stupid banquets.
But this birthday party is different. There is a good show to watch, and Ling Xi will definitely not miss it.
When they arrived at the gate of Jiuxiaoyun Palace, Ling Xi and Jin Mi happened to meet Yan You.
Jin Mi was very happy to see Yan You and greeted him cheerfully: "Puchi-kun, long time no see."
Yanyou was not in tune, and the first thing he said was a teasing remark: "My beauty, long time no see."
Ling Xi pulled Ling Xi aside, then glanced at Yan You, implicitly warning him to behave himself.
When Ling Xi glared at him, Yan You immediately put away his unruly smile and became well-behaved, just like a little kid meeting his parents, it was a natural suppression.
Ling Xi looked at Jin Mi and warned her meaningfully: "Jin Mi, let's go in. Remember, be careful when you go in."
Jin Mi said "hmm" and looked quite well-behaved.
After entering the Jiuxiaoyun Palace, Ling Xi and Jin Mi found a place that was not so noticeable but had a good view to sit down, and Yan You sat next to them the next moment.
Inadvertently, Ling Xi's eyes met with Jin Mi and Yan You's, and Ling Xi nodded slightly to both of them.
This was the first time Jin Mi had attended such a banquet in thousands of years, so everything she saw was new to her.
As for Yanyou, he had attended too many such banquets and was tired of them. However, today, with Jinmi, who was lively and asked questions, Yanyou also got a job, which was to introduce people to the conference for Jinmi.
Ling Xi sat next to the two of them, listening to them discussing the female fairies in heaven.
Ling Xi was not very interested in this. She was familiar with the Heavenly Palace and knew many female fairies, but they were not close friends.
After a while, two people walked in from outside. The man was cool and handsome, with a slight smile on his face, and had his own temperament. The woman was gentle and graceful, dignified and generous. At first glance, they looked like a perfect match, very well matched.
Seeing them, Ling Xi finally perked up. After all, these two people were one of the protagonists today.
"Mr. Puchi, who are those two gods?"
As soon as Jin Mi saw the two people, especially the man, she couldn't help but feel a desire to get closer to them from the bottom of her heart.
Yanyou looked at the two people Jinmi pointed at, with mixed emotions in his heart, but he still told Jinmi excitedly: "That one is the God of Water, and that one is the God of Wind."
As he spoke, Yanyou sighed and shook his head: "Ah, what a resentful couple. They have been married for so many years and have always respected each other, but they still have no children."
When Jin Mi heard Yanyou point out that it was the Water God, her smile faded.
She looked at the man in blue a few more times, but still couldn't suppress the urge to get close to him.
It turned out that he was her father, the father who didn't know she existed, her father, and he was so handsome.
Jin Mi felt sad in her heart and her eyes were filled with tears. This was the bond between father and daughter, the natural feeling of closeness that made them want to get closer even if they didn't know each other.
No wonder, when Sister Ling Xi told her today that the Water God was also there, she didn’t tell her what the Water God looked like. She could recognize him at a glance without a portrait.
Ling Xi glanced at Jin Mi, and noticing that she wanted to cry, he took out a small bag of candy from his pocket and handed it to her.
Jin Mi looked at the candy stuffed into her hands, the candy wrappers were colorful, and she couldn't help but laugh.
She is not a child anymore, so why use candy to coax her?
However, Jin Mi still took a piece of candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it in her mouth.
The taste of grape juice burst in her mouth, and in a blink of an eye her mouth was filled with a sweet taste. Jin Mi smiled and her round grape-like eyes narrowed into crescents.
Seeing that Jin Mi was in a better mood, Ling Xi smiled back, very gently.
"Jin Mi, what's wrong with you?" Yan You shook the dazed Jin Mi and brought her back from her daydreaming state.
Jin Mi came back to her senses, covered up her gaffe, and replied: "It's okay, Mr. Puchi, I just think that the water fairy is very calming and kind."
"Kind?" Yan You exclaimed in disbelief. "The water god is a secluded being, so he is the most aloof. If you want to say he can calm down people, then that's a little, but he is a million miles away from being kind."
Jin Mi smiled slightly, perhaps this was the nature of father and daughter.
"In addition to the Flower Realm, not a single female fairy was present at this birthday banquet. Could it be that they want to arrange a marriage for the God of Fire?"
Just then, Ling Xi heard someone behind him say this. Jin Mi covered her chest and felt a little uncomfortable.
Yan You shook his head solemnly and said casually, "Hey, the Fire God is in a high position and may seem glorious, but in fact, he cannot make the decision on his marriage leave. It is nothing more than a game. Moreover, the Queen has already chosen a candidate for the Fire God. The Second Prince's wife must be Princess Suihe."
When Jin Mi heard this, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.
"The Emperor of Heaven, the Queen of Heaven, the God of Night, and the God of Fire have arrived." With this announcement, the banquet officially began.
