Like a narrow sheep trail, the bluestone steps, winding in nine turns and eighteen bends, carried a slight dampness.

The village was abundantly wet with rain, and the stone staircase was coated with a dense layer of moss.

Under the embellishment of the Spiritual Rain, these ordinary mosses became crystal clear, full of texture, like crystalline agates.

Besides being ornamental, the moss could be used for hemostasis and was the main ingredient in the village’s Ironclad Injury Healing Powder.

Shifting his gaze from the moss at his feet, Jiang Hui slowly looked up from the bottom to the graceful, slender silhouette about ten meters away.

Clad in a cyan robe, like the tender willow leaves of early spring, it was both refreshing and carried an indescribable elegance, wrapping her exquisite figure.

The robe sleeves fluttered gently with the wind, as if they contained the mountain’s vivacity and its remote tranquility.

The breeze fluttered, stirring the willow branches, like a brush of spring mist stumbling into the mortal world.

After hearing the question asked by the other party, Jiang Hui’s expression involuntarily turned puzzled.

He couldn’t understand why the first thing she said was this.

Because it was not at all what he had expected.

After all, he had watched it from beginning to end.

He had seen and heard the entire conversation between Willow God and the Quasi-Immortal Emperor from the Emperor Fallen era.

Of course, he knew that the former was coming to look for him and also understood the purpose of her visit,

But for this very reason, he was surprised.

The sentence just uttered seemed totally unrelated to the reason she came to find him; not just tangentially related, but completely unconnected, even with eight hundred poles.

It was completely an aside.

And looking at her expression,

It seemed to be an impromptu thought.

Does an impromptu question need an answer?

“Your Excellency has come looking for me, surely not to inquire about such trivial matters, right?” Jiang Hui spoke.

It wasn’t that the question was particularly difficult to answer; in his view, it was somewhat awkward regardless of how one might address it. After all, it seemed to be his own business.

Certainly, the relationship between them was not inconsequential.

But he had already severed the karmic ties between them, and because of the Primordial Spirit Qi, his incarnation had already obtained a true body and an independent Primordial Spirit, no longer an incarnation but a new life.

Moreover,

when he had first gone to The Boundary Sea, he had incidentally clarified things for that unfortunate “Fire Emperor,” otherwise, how could the latter have possibly entered the Quasi Emperor Realm so quickly.

It was like casting oneself into the embrace of a pear, giving Willow God a substantial gift by proxy to make amends to the rightful owner.

“Indeed, there are other matters, but right now, I am most eager to know the answer to this question!”

Willow God’s face was unchanged; she shook her head slightly.

“Why?”

Jiang Hui took a deep breath, sensing something amiss.

The other party was the Ancestor of the Sacrificial Spirits, holding sway over the Three Thousand God Nations; she should not be taking such a question so seriously.

Beside him,

a woman like the watery regions of southern Jiangnan stared intently at her once-master.

“No matter what, she was once an incarnation of me, originating from me, and now she has become Fellow Daoist’s woman… I would like to understand some details; surely that is not too much to ask…”

Willow God’s gaze was unwavering, fixed on Jiang Hui.

Is this question excessive?

As she said, indeed it was not too much.

But to say it wasn’t excessive at all seems a bit too far; it lay between the two.

However, looking at her expression, Jiang Hui always felt something was off.

Why did she look at him as if he were a heartbreaker?

He hadn’t let her down!

No, he was definitely not a scoundrel.

“Myself was once a part of Your Excellency, but now, having been recognized by heaven and earth, I am an independent existence.”

Before Jiang Hui could respond, the woman beside him spoke clearly and emphatically, word by word.

Jiang Hui nodded; this was exactly what he had been thinking. After pondering for a moment, he followed up with, “I know this might be a bit improper, but I have already made compensation…”

Before Jiang Hui could finish, Willow God smiled faintly and shook her head.

She naturally knew what Jiang Hui’s idea of ‘compensation’ was…

But in her eyes, it was far from being enough.

She didn’t know why, at this moment, she cared much more about a single incarnation than becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t care about a billion incarnations, let alone one.

It might be because she had been rejected initially, yet he had shamelessly chosen one of her incarnations, giving her a sense of being toyed with.

It could also be because Jiang Hui’s own body was also a Divine Willow.

Through the long ages, time like countless grains of sand.

This was the second Divine Willow of some standing besides her.

“Hmm?” Jiang Hui frowned slightly. “How is it not enough?”

“Because there is some resentment in my heart, am I even inferior to my own incarnation?”

When saying this, Willow God’s tone unconsciously rose several degrees.

“When I was still in the Lower Realm, I once said that if Fellow Daoist were willing to stand up for all beings, I was ready to become Fellow Daoist’s Taoist companion…”

“But Fellow Daoist didn’t even consider it at the time and rejected my proposal outright. Why now do you occupy my incarnation willingly and become a devoted couple, what, do you reject the master and take up with the shadow?”

Before Jiang Hui could react,

Their gazes met in an instant,

like Mars crashing into Earth.

Neither was willing to show weakness,

just as translucent, like the white orchids in the depths of a quiet valley, but with a fierce fire burning within.
