A.N: The Jade Emperor uses the royal "we" when he's making a point about what kind of asshole he is.
-----
A goddess kowtows on a white jade floor. The entire room is made of jade, including the imposing throne in front of her where a a god with piercing gold eyes looks down at her with an expression of utter disgust. He looks as smooth and cold as the jade that surrounds him.
"Xie Xiu, we have given you an opportunity to redeem your sins, and this is the news you bring us?" The Jade Emperor closes his eyes, and rest his face on his closed fist.
"Your Heavenly Majesty, please forgive this humble one, but during the trials I prepared, neither of them seemed to recall their previous existences as Gods." Xie Xiu fears the fury coming off in cold waves from the god sitting on the throne.
She knows her very existence is hanging by a thread, but there is someone whose life matters far more than her own. For him, she will survive the Emperor's rage.
