Chapter 1082 (Aunt)
"Silly, as long as I like you, what does it matter what others think?" Ye Juetian gently rubbed Yi Yi's hair, feeling extremely distressed.
"Ye Ye, about you and that girl..." Yi Yi hesitated, originally not wanting to ask, but the curiosity got the better of her, and her heart felt a bit sour.
"Yi Yi, don't worry. There's nothing between me and that girl. We've already made a deal. She's willing to help me. I can meet you tonight because she helped me keep it a secret. She's a good person," Ye Juetian tightly held Yi Yi's delicate hand, hoping to give her a sense of security.
"Really?" Yi Yi exclaimed in delight, her heart suddenly lifted, dispelling the unpleasantness of the day.
"Yes."
"Then... then I have to thank her properly. Ask her what she likes, and I'll buy it for her."
Ye Juetian lightly touched Yi Yi's cheek, saying softly, "I'll take care of those things. From now on, whatever I say is for the ears of my big brother and mother."
"Okay, I understand. I won't be sad; I won't be upset."
Ye Juetian embraced Yi Yi, feeling truly heartbroken for this naive girl who had suffered so much.
"Ye Ye, your arms are so warm. I wish I could lie in your arms forever; then I wouldn't feel cold," Yi Yi gently nuzzled against Ye Juetian's chest, talking about the cold but meaning her inner feelings.
"It's comfortable; just lean on me a little more," Ye Juetian softly stroked Yi Yi's back.
"Ye Ye, promise me, don't lie to me, okay?" Yi Yi raised her head slowly, earnestly asking.
"Okay, I promise you. I won't lie to you in this lifetime," Ye Juetian pinched Yi Yi's cheek, showing a gentle smile.
"Good, Ye Ye, I believe you." Yi Yi also revealed a joyful smile, looking so natural.
The two stared deeply at each other. Yi Yi seemed a bit shy, unable to meet Ye Juetian's fiery gaze directly.
As Ye Juetian slowly lowered his head, his heart pounding like a drum, a sweet kiss landed on Yi Yi's lips, marking the end of their first kiss.
Yi Yi's eyes widened at this sudden act; her first kiss was taken away by Ye Ye. Although a bit surprised, it was something she willingly accepted.
Gradually, Yi Yi relaxed and closed her eyes.
However, in the darkness, Gong Yue watched the two hidden in the corner, her eyes slightly squinted.
'Ye Juetian! As the younger brother of a Supreme Overlord, you actually like a palace maid! If this issue spreads, where would your big brother's face be!'
'But rest assured, I won't let him lose any face. A mere palace maid is no match for me, Gong Yue! What qualifications does she have to snatch a man from me!'
'Ye Juetian, you'll be mine in the future!'
Letting them have their secret affair, Gong Yue gradually disappeared into the darkness.
In a misty place, surrounded by immortal clouds and vibrant rainbow hues weaving through the mountains, there was a unique courtyard within the peaks.
At this moment, Donghuang Ying landed in the courtyard, letting out a sigh of relief. This time, he came to deliver a congratulatory gift.
Donghuang Ying was also curious about Meng Yao, a powerful woman in this world who was currently undergoing tribulation. If the tribulation was successful, she would become the first female Supreme God, a position of great prestige, equal to many prominent figures.
Even the Donghuang family had sent congratulatory gifts, indicating the high regard they held for her.
"I am Donghuang Ying, here to present a congratulatory gift!" Donghuang Ying stood at the door and softly announced, his voice a bit sharp since the lamp wick had gone out.
As he finished speaking, a cloud of fairy mist emerged in front of Donghuang Ying, revealing a young girl in a white dress who inclined slightly, "So it's a visitor from the Donghuang family, how polite. Please come in."
"Thank you." Donghuang Ying smiled faintly and followed the young girl into the courtyard.
From the outside, the courtyard seemed small, but upon entering, it revealed a hidden paradise. It felt like a small city with bustling activity and a joyous atmosphere. Everyone's expressions were filled with happiness, and there wasn't a single face marked by worry.
Donghuang Ying couldn't help but be curious, whispering, "Miss, why do these people seem so happy?"
"Naturally, that's because Aunt is about to become the first female Supreme God of the Nine Provinces and Five Seas. So, everyone is happy for Aunt." The girl's face also showed excitement and admiration.
"I see." Donghuang Ying nodded. A Supreme God was truly an invincible existence.
"Miss, may I ask when your aunt will come out of seclusion?" Donghuang Ying inquired curiously.
"Not clear. It could be a few days, a few months, or even a few thousand years; it's hard to say."
Donghuang Ying nodded in understanding. The tribulation was indeed a terrifying ordeal, requiring one to experience all aspects of life before becoming a Supreme God.
Donghuang Ying had heard rumours that usually, only men could successfully overcome all the tribulations because of their stable and resolute mentality, especially in the aspect of emotional tribulation, where most women found it challenging to pass.
He wondered what tribulation Meng Yao was undergoing this time.
Soon, the young girl led him into a common mansion. However, everyone knew that a Supreme God would soon emerge from this mansion.
"Young Master Donghuang, please take a rest in the hall."
"Okay, thank you, Miss." Donghuang Ying nodded.
In the hall, besides Donghuang Ying, there were a few others who had come to deliver congratulatory gifts. Those who could bring congratulatory gifts were highly respected families, similar to the Donghuang family.
However, Donghuang Ying didn't recognize these people. This was his first time out after being here for months.
"Donghuang has arrived as well," a man spoke softly at this moment.
Donghuang Ying glanced at the man's attire. Clad in a green robe, he seemed to be from the Jiang family, a force not to be underestimated after the imperial era.
"Brother Jiang!" Donghuang Ying arched his hand and shouted, maintaining a low profile. To survive in the Nine Provinces and Five Seas, one needed resources. Finally being out for a chance, he certainly wanted to make some connections, ensuring he had allies when seeking revenge.
Jiang Min also arched his hand and replied, "Brother Donghuang, you're too polite."
Several others nearby showed no intention of getting involved, silently sitting and sipping tea with an air of arrogance.
Delivering congratulatory gifts didn't necessarily mean they were crucial figures in their respective families, much like Donghuang Ying.
"Brother Jiang, please have a seat."
"Brother Donghuang, please sit."
The two engaged in a bit of mutual flattery, prompting disapproving shakes of the head from those sitting nearby. It truly was embarrassing.
"I wonder when this aunt will come out of seclusion. It would be good to witness her grace," Donghuang Ying also chimed in, curious as to why everyone referred to her as "aunt." The people here were indeed peculiar. What if someone started calling someone "daddy" in the future?
Jiang Min spoke softly, "Brother Donghuang, I'm afraid this aunt won't come out of seclusion so soon."
"Why is that?"
"I've heard from our family head that this woman usually places the emotional tribulation at the end. Emotional tribulation is usually the most deadly for women, but this aunt possesses exceptional talent, perhaps different from other women."
