Marrying a Former Supreme God
Meet Mye Ai
Inevitably, Xiu Jimei sat not far from the woman. Then the woman put a crown of flowers on her head and smiled with satisfaction. He nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's so pretty. You really are like Yin'er" he said.
Xiu Jimei frowned. The Yin'er that was meant, was the nickname of his mother or someone else?
He did not speak and looked at the woman well. It seems that the woman did not feel awkward or embarrassed at all, actually really enjoyed her time arranging flower crowns.
Then, Xiu Jimei heard the woman speak again.
"Time goes by very quickly. I've been here long enough. Maybe sooner or later he'll be back soon" he said.
"returned? So, where did you come from?" ask Xiu Jimei.
The woman smiled gently. "Wherever I come from, won't all souls return to where they came from?"
He did not say where he came from and where his soul would return to. But Xiu Jimei could confirm if the woman was the remaining piece of soul here. Maybe it's been waiting here for someone.
"Do we know each other?" tanyanya.
The woman shook her head. "No, but I know you. The child that Yin'er was born with, of course I know him. Whynot? This is also the heir to the essence of the eight gods."
This time Xiu Jimei was shocked. "So you're actually—"
Before Xiu Jimei guessed anything, the woman paled her words. "What if we go for a walk? It just so happens that the peaches are ripe. Let's pick it together."
What Xiu Jimei wanted to say was swallowed back. He simply agreed to the woman's request and went with her. When standing, the woman is very slender. The white dress fluttered in the wind of the meadow. The two walked away from the gazebo.
During the trip, the two chatted lightly. The woman did not have many strange words, all of them purely telling her life here and when it was time to leave.
Xiu Jimei did not respond much. It didn't take long, he finally saw that there was a large peach tree in the distance. There was only one tree, which was a bit strange.
The woman took her hand toward the fruitful peach tree. Some fruits are ripe and give off an intoxicating sweet aroma.
"Why are peaches weird?" Xiu Jimei noticed that peaches are not the same as most fruits.
He noticed that the peaches on the tree were not as orange-red as usual, but rather pink, rather pale. Xiu Jimei thought that the peaches might not be ripe at all. But when the woman plucked one and gave it to her, Xiu Jimei tried to eat one bite.
The flesh of the fruit is yellowish orange, feels soft and very sweet. The woman did not eat it, just picked a few more fruits for her. After eating the peach, Xiu Jimei felt the flow of spiritual energy in his dantian become calmer and warmer.
“The essence of the eight gods is sometimes overprotective when faced with danger. So you should be able to control it in the future,” the woman said.
“What is the essence of these eight gods? Why is it so important for the world of cultivators?’ ask Xiu Jimei.
The woman sighed. “Of course for world peace. When one day the world of cultivators was threatened with extinction, the essence of the eight deities could help. One thing you have to do is be strong and stay humble,”.
Only with humility will the essence of the eight gods be safe in the hands of the righteous. But the woman did not say more about the essence of the eight gods. After picking the peaches, the two sat under the peach tree and enjoyed the view of the mountains in front of it.
It seemed like this meadow was far from any other life. It was as if only the woman took care of him.
“Your daughter must love you so much.” Xiu Jimei was not sure if this woman had anything to do with her mother or not. But as a child, she also seemed to understand the difficulties of a mother.
The woman shook her head, her smile a little weak. “Unfortunately, I died when my daughter was born. But I gave birth to a son. I can't give motherly love to my daughter. When he was born, he couldn't even see me. But luckily, luckily my daughter is very strong and she can form her own strength. Just by being strong, he could be respected by many,” he explained instantly red-eyed, full of sadness but also relief.
Xiu Jimei was speechless. The blue sky was slowly filled with dark clouds. Looks like it's gonna rain soon. The woman seemed to be surprised upon seeing the changes in the sky. Inevitably he smiled reluctantly and looked at Xiu Jimei.
“Looks like my time is up. It's time for you to come back,” he said.
“Then what about you?”
“I'll be back where I should be. My punishment here is done.”
“Do you want to reincarnate?”
Somehow Xiu Jimei refused to part with him. The woman shook her head.
“I used to also think of reincarnating and returning to my daughter's side. But ... now it is no longer necessary. My daughter's life has been very good and with the people supporting her, I'm sure she and her children will have a good life.”
To go to a place where the soul returns is to be nothing to the world. Not knowing if it was heaven or something, no one knew. Xiu Jimei did not persuade him anymore. The woman patted both her shoulders gently.
“Well, go to the gazebo. That way you can go back to where you came from.”
“You don't want to come?”
The woman shook her head. “Go,” the answer is soft.
Xiu Jimei finally walked towards the gazebo. He looked over and asked for the last time.
“What's your name?”
“My name ... Mye Ai,” answer again.
Xiu Jimei seemed to have heard that name. It doesn't feel foreign. But after getting an answer, he went to the gazebo without looking back again.
While the woman watched Xiu Jimei who was already close to the gazebo. Slowly his figure that was under the peach tree started to fade and turned into a grain of light that flew into the sky.
“Goodbye, my grandson ..” His voice is like the whisper of the wind blowing for the last time.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
When Xiu Jimei woke up, the first thing he saw was a ceiling made of flowering green tendrils. There were various sounds beginning to be caught by his sense of hearing. Looks like this is the sound of Tuit Tuit and Spirit Flowers?
In fact, outside the flowering green vine house, the Tuit Tuit who was in the form of a cute little girl was fighting with the Flower Spirit. Spirit Flower likes to tease him to make Tuit Tuit angry and want to kick his short-legged hand. Yet the Spirit Flower held the head of the Tuit Tuit so easily that the little girl simply kicked the air.
The moment Xiu Jimei came out, everyone who was there immediately looked at him.
“An Employer, you finally wake up!” The Spirit Flower instantly released the Tuit Tuit and approached Xiu Jimei.
