“Shishi, do you think our Dragon Clan is more beautiful or the humans?”
“I won’t tell you.”
“Then who do you think is beautiful?”
“Your beard is beautiful.”
“What beard? This is a dragon whisker!”
“Hehe. It’s still tied up.”
Bixie wagged its dragon tail, “I really want to eat Little White and Little Black.”
“What did you say?” Water Consort turned around and shot a glare at Bixie. Little Red and Little Black were the two small snakes hanging from her earlobes, companions since birth, named Shiwa and Resting Soil.
“Haha, I didn’t say anything. You look really beautiful today.”
“Say I’m beautiful, Demon Lord Ying is beautiful.”
“Hmph.”
Bixie tilted its dragon head to the side, no longer blowing fire.
“Hey, hey, hey, your whisker is still beautiful.”
"Hmph."
"Bixie, why isn't Azure Sky out yet?" As the banquet was about to begin, the Dragon Princess still hadn't emerged from her palace.
"Azure Sky, if you don't come out soon, I'm going to be angry."
"Yeah, if you don't come out, I'm going to be angry too," Water Consort chimed in.
"Bixie, you fool, is Azure Sky even in the palace?"
"Uh! I don't know," Bixie replied with a thoughtful expression, as if he really hadn't pushed open the palace door to take a look. So...
"God, how can you still be so foolish?"
"Hmph."
"Still huffing? I'm going to pull your whiskers."
"Dragon whiskers."
"Why don't you go check on your sister?"
Sure enough, there was no sign of the little dragon in Azure Sky's palace.
When did she leave?
Bixie once again showed a contemplative expression, while Water Consort looked helplessly at the Foolish Dragon in front of her.
"Your Highness, it's bad!!!"
An old turtle moved slowly through the sea. Although his voice was urgent, his speed remained sluggish.
"What is it, Turtle Chancellor?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, this old minister has been observing the stars day and night," the old turtle panted. "The princess is in grave danger. Her emotional tribulation has arrived. In severe cases, her soul will be shattered; in lighter cases, she will be reduced to ashes."
Is it really that terrifying?
"This... you often miscalculate, old turtle."
"You may not believe me, Your Highness, but, uh! You must believe this old minister!!"
"What should we do now?"
"The only chance for survival is to bring the princess back to Dragon Palace before the full moon!" The old turtle added, "However, it's basically unavoidable."
"Chancellor."
"Sigh, this old minister will go prepare for the princess's final arrangements." With that, the old turtle swayed and moved away slowly.
"You old turtle." Bixie was so angry that his long dragon whiskers floated up. He no longer cared about the dinner under the candlelight; Bixie transformed into a dragon-shaped bracelet that wrapped around Water Consort's wrist. With a flash of white light, a dragon and a spirit reappeared by the seaside.
"Where are you going, Bixie?"
"To the Heavenly Xuan Kingdom."
"Shishi, what is that red spot on your wrist?"
"It's Lizard Sand."
"What is Lizard Sand?"
"It's from being sunburned by the big sun in the Western Desert."
"Oh."
Water Consort chuckled to herself; this Foolish Dragon is so silly.
"Foolish Dragon, do you really believe it?"
"I believe everything you say."
But where exactly is our lovely Dragon Princess?
"Underworld Lord, how can one remember their past life?"
"Some people can't even remember their current life."
"Isn't it said that a person's reincarnation is all in the Underworld?"
"Climb the Three Lives Stone to observe past, present, and future."
"Where is the Three Lives Stone?"
"Beyond the Nine Heavens."
"Is there only the Goddess above the Nine Heavens? Isn't she very lonely?"
"The Goddess is desireless and thus unafraid of solitude."
"Alright, Underworld Lord, even though you haven't really helped me, thank you anyway." Azure Sky swayed her little tail and said with a hint of regret, "I heard there's a place called Nine Nether in your Western Abyss, where there's a beautiful Butterfly Fairy."
"How could a celestial being be in a ghostly place?" Azure Sky said with a puzzled expression, resting her hands on the armrest of the Underworld Lord's throne.
"Who knows about her?" Fusang's expression was quite unnatural. Why did he always feel uncomfortable whenever someone mentioned that unfamiliar Butterfly Fairy?
Is she really unfamiliar?
"I forgot how many hundreds of years ago, I heard an old fisherman tell a story from long, long ago. It was about a princess of a kingdom who, to fulfill her lover's wish, bore her family's curse and gave up the chance to become immortal, wishing only to transform into a butterfly to stay by her lover's side. Don't you think that's the Butterfly Fairy? But who was her lover?"
Seeing the Underworld Lord remain silent, she asked, "Underworld Lord, is it that my story is too moving?"
"Sigh, I’ll take my leave now. I’ll come back to chat with you when I have time."
"Goodbye."
It was only after Azure Sky left that the Underworld Lord lifted his contemplative gaze, feeling as if he had lost something, but what exactly was it?
Just as he exited the Western Desert, a light laugh echoed, and a sense of crisis rushed toward him. Azure Sky couldn't help but become alert. "Who is it? What are you sneaking around for?"
A flash of azure light appeared in the clouds, and a radiant man emerged, with sword-like brows and brown eyes that sparkled like stars.
"Who are you?"
"Don't ask who I am," the man chuckled lightly as he floated down on a cloud in front of Azure Sky.
"Oh, you are a celestial being. How dare you descend to the mortal realm without permission? I will tell my father."
The man, bathed in moonlight, raised a finger and made a gesture for silence.
"The demon race has long occupied the mortal realm, and the Dragon Emperor remains silent; why should my Celestial Race not venture into the human world?"
"The Goddess divided the three realms back then; aren't you afraid of punishment for crossing boundaries?"
"Hah. My Celestial Race has already been punished by losing our desires; now that the Celestial Race is dwindling, what punishment do I have to fear?"
"Are you here to take Butterfly Fairy home?"
"Are you referring to Fusu?"
"Her name is Fusu, what a beautiful name."
"You are the Dragon Princess, Azure Sky?"
"How do you know my name? Who are you?"
"Well, don't ask who I am."
"That person? Where are you going?"
"May I ask where Princess is headed?"
"I am going to the Celestial Capital."
"So am I."
While Goddess was napping, the Demon Race and Celestial Race crossed into the human realm, each with their own purposes.
Demon Lord Ying seeks the legacy of the Demon Race, but what is this mysterious immortal after?
Years ago, when the three realms were separated, how could Butterfly Fairy Murong Fusu of the Celestial Race remain in the Western Abyss?
With the Separation Demon emerging and chaos in the three realms, what kind of prophecy is this?
