Chapter 838: Love Above All Chapter 197

Love Above All, Chapter 197

It was the tenth day since Lan Xi drank the Forgetfulness Water. Every day, she would go to the ancestral hall and recite sutras for two shichen in front of Lan Yan’s memorial tablet.

On the eleventh day, Bu Qiao hurriedly ran in to tell her that Mi Xi had returned.

Lan Xi was puzzled, “He’s back, why is he in your Underworld? Did something go wrong?”

“It’s not that something went wrong, it’s just that Lan Xi, you forgot… Back when you were fighting the Demon God, His Highness Mi Xi’s body was destroyed by the Demon Lord. He reincarnated into a mortal body and cannot return to the Immortal Realm. So, he returned only as a Spiritual Body.”

Lan Xi put down the prayer beads in her hands and walked out of the ancestral hall.

Mi Xi was indeed in a bit of trouble.

Seeing Lan Xi remained silent, Bu Qiao continued, “His Highness Mi Xi wants to return, so he is searching for information in the Underworld library. If His Highness feels now is not the time to return, I can have him reincarnate again.”

Lan Xi raised her hand to stop his words; since their senior had returned, he definitely wouldn’t want to leave again.

He reincarnated with them, simply to protect her.

Now that he’s back, even if he were kidnapped and sent to reincarnate again, he would find a way to return.

Furthermore, losing his body is a very serious problem.

“Bu Qiao, do you have a way to find something to craft a body for our senior?” Lan Xi did have a way, but she feared it might be too insincere.

Back then, Lan Yan had used a Golden Lotus Root to create a fake Lan Xi.

She could also create a body for Mi Xi using a Golden Lotus Root.

But that body would ultimately be too weak, restricting Mi Xi’s future growth.

Therefore, she had to consider this matter seriously.

“I have no way. The books in the Underworld King Palace are mostly dominated by ghosts. To save His Highness Mi Xi, the Goddess must personally visit the Scripture Pavilion to see if the Heavenly Book provides any guidance.”

Lan Xi felt Bu Qiao’s words were not without reason.

So she went alone to see the Heavenly Emperor and requested the privilege to enter the Scripture Pavilion.

This time, the Heavenly Emperor was very amiable and did not make things difficult for Lan Xi, allowing Crown Prince Ya to accompany her.

On the way to the Scripture Pavilion.

Lan Xi and Ya were both silent.

Since she remembered the past, she always felt she owed the people around her a galaxy’s debt.

“Father wants me to succeed him and insists on granting Li Huo to me.” Ya finally spoke, breaking the awkward silence between them.

“Although Li Huo has quite a temper, she has Lord Bai and the White Cloud Hall backing her. Even though her status as Imperial Mother is a bit lower, she is the only one in this world who can match you,” Lan Xi analyzed truthfully.

Although there are many people in the Immortal Realm, only a few truly have status and power.

Therefore, many marriages often happen against one’s will.

Ya sneered, not knowing whether he was mocking himself or the narrow-mindedness of the Heavens.

“And you? Are you prepared to live your life like this?” Ya naturally knew about her situation with the Forgetfulness Water.

As long as she was willing, he would give up succeeding the Heavenly Emperor to become a guardian at the Goddess Palace, not hoping to live and die with her, only to be by her side.

“Ya, should I have Bu Qiao send you some Forgetfulness Water too?” Lan Xi’s tone was also straightforward.

“If you cannot let go, then forget. Without worries, without emotions, you won’t think about romance all day.”

Ya was choked for a moment, speechlessly darkened the sky.

This was indeed Lan Xi’s character, openly and unabashedly stabbing where it hurt.

“Cough!” Ya feigned a cough, “Forget it, I’d rather hold onto my emotions.”

Loving someone, though painful, is also joyous.

If the heart were empty, it would be like a walking corpse. What meaning is there in living?

They say immortals envy mortals, and it’s true.

Because, although their lives are short, they can reincarnate.

Emotions they couldn’t gain in this life, perhaps fate will bring them in the next.

One life ends, the next begins.

But immortals, with one heart for a lifetime, once given, have no recourse.

No reincarnation, no myriad changes in fate; they can only guard this splendid land, licking their wounds until their lives end in ashes.

Dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil.

While speaking, the two entered the Scripture Pavilion.

In front of the Heavenly Book, Lan Xi wrote her question.

How to find a powerful body for the Spiritual Body?

The Heavenly Book took half a day to operate before giving an answer.

“Go to the Abyss of Ultimate Evil to obtain the Seven-Colored Stone. Use it to build a body capable of withstanding the impact of the divine soul.”

Lan Xi and Ya exchanged a glance.

Ya exclaimed, “The Abyss of Ultimate Evil is below the Eighteen Levels of Hell…”

Lan Xi also furrowed her brows, knowing this place was the most dangerous in the heavens.

Even the gods dare not easily descend, for it is unpredictable and can devour everything.

If one carelessly enters, there might be no way out.

“Lan Xi, you must think this through. I heard in the Purple Bamboo Garden of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, there is a million-year-old Iron Bamboo, which can also forge a true body for immortals, why not…”

Lan Xi shook her head, “No. Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara has but one Iron Bamboo. Even if she were willing to part with it, its Spiritual Energy is not strong enough. Besides its hardness, it offers no other benefits. If it’s used to build a body for our senior, it will affect his future growth.”

“But the Abyss of Ultimate Evil is so terrifying. If something happens to you, what then?” Ya was still worried.

After all, Lan Xi’s safety was paramount.

Recently, Father indeed considered that if Lan Xi continued to be obsessed with Quan Shaoqing.

The only way was to eliminate her.

But later, this notion was dismissed.

Lan Xi is the Child of God, destined with her fate. If she were truly to destroy the heavens and earth, it could only mean that the era of the heavens had come to an end.

Now she has made a righteous choice, and naturally, no one would trouble her, not even having time to fawn over her.

After all, even a small favor from her was a matter of yearning for others.

“Unless you try, how can you know it won’t work.” As Lan Xi finished speaking, she no longer hesitated and walked towards the Scripture Pavilion.

Ya thought for a while, then eventually caught up with her.

“Let’s go together! Like last time going to the Demon Realm, two people can look out for each other.”

Lan Xi remembered when she was twenty thousand years old, she took him to the Demon Realm…

Young and ignorant, not powerful, yet so brave.

In fact, she still quite respected Ya.

If none of that chaotic business had happened, perhaps they could have been very good friends.

“No need, I’ll go on my own.” Lan Xi didn’t want any more entanglements with him.

But Ya was relentless, “Anyway, I’ve read more books, know more things, it’s safer with me.”

Lan Xi frowned, displeased.

She turned back to glare at Ya and asked angrily, “Are you implying I haven’t read enough?”

“Uh…” Ya wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, can’t you not twist my meaning?

“What I mean is, two people encountering a problem together, there’s one more person to think of solutions. If you go alone, if you face a problem you can’t solve, it’s just unsolvable. As it’s about saving a life, I’m sure you don’t want anything to go wrong. If alone, the odds of success are fifty percent; two people increase it to at least seventy-five percent.”
