After the welcome banquet for Bai Jue, he often came to find Hou Chi in the four-season palace but she always avoided him; reasons unbeknown to her, yet whenever she met with him there was this feeling in her chest that seemed unsettled.
"Bai Jue." Yuan Feng called out to him one day as he was visiting the Four-Season palace
"Yuan Feng, what are you doing here?" Bai Jue asked him and he smiles
"Did you forget, I would soon wed one of the four-season goddesses? I'm here to visit my bride-to-be of course. What about you, what are you doing here instead of your palace?" Yuan Feng asked him and Bai Jue smiled at him
"You came at the right time, I would like to talk to you for a bit." Bai Jue said to him and Yuan Feng smile at him
"Let's head to the spring palace." Yuan Feng said to him and led Bai Jue to the spring palace since he had not been allowed to go into the winter palace.
Once the two of them were in the spring palace, the two of them were greeted by Zhu Zi
"Welcome back Master Yuan Feng." Zhu Zi said to him and he nodded
"Let Shang Gu know I'm meeting with Bai Jue in the study room if she needs me." Yuan Feng said to her and she bows
"I'll let the master know." Zhu Zi said to her and moved to the side to let the two true gods pass.
The two true gods walked over to the study that Shang Gu had prepared for him.
"Was this all prepared for you by goddess Shang Gu?" Bai Jue asked him and Yuan Feng smile
"Yes, she tried to make it similar to my study at my palace. I also have a study for her at my palace as well." Yuan Feng said to him and Bai Jue smiled, he had also done something like this for his wife as well when he was in the mortal realm.
"Let's take a seat." Yuan Feng said to Bai Jue as he took a seat, Bai Jue took the seat across from him
"You want to talk about goddess Hou Chi, don't you?" Yuan Feng asked him and he nodded
"She looks exactly like my love while I was in the mortal realm." Bai Jue said to him, Yuan Feng nodded
"I thought so, you've never acted so strange before." Yuan Feng said to him and he nodded
"What do you know about her?" Bai Jue asked him and he shook his head
"Nothing much about her past if that is what you're asking." Yuan Feng said to him and he shook his head
"That's not possible, all the gods at least know about their past." Bai Jue said to him and Yuan Feng nodded
"That's what we thought, too. But the thing is that she showed up at the Heaven and Earth platform, you know that since the creation of time, there has not been a single god or goddess that came into being from that platform." Yuan Feng said to Bai Jue but he shook his head
"Well have you tried asking her or-" Bai Jue asked him but Yuan Feng shook his head
"There is nothing. We've asked her when she first came to the nine-heaven realm but she has no clue as to what or how she came to be a being on the Heaven and Earth platform. Hou Chi only remembered that she gained consciousness in a time and space out of this realm or any other, it was most likely the time that she was conscious as a higher being. She did mention that the forefather taught her but nothing before all of that." Yuan Feng said to him and Bai Jue nodded
"She looks like her but I need to know if it is her. I need to know." Bai Jue said to Yuan Feng, he sighed as he looked at Bai Jue but as he was just about to say something a knock came at the study door, it was Shang Gu.
"Am I interrupting?" Shang Gu asked them but Yuan Feng shook his head and smiled at her with love in his eyes as he extended his hands towards her which she took.
"I'll head out and leave you two love birds alone." Bai Jue said to them but as he was about to head out Yuan Feng stopped him
"If you want to find out more, you could search for the phoenix dream pearl." Yuan Feng said to Bai Jue
"Phoenix dream pearl?" Bai Jue asked Yuan Feng
"Go to Qing Mu's library and you might find some information on it." Yuan Feng said to him and Bai Jue nodded as he bid the two farewell.
As soon as he left the Four Seasons palace he went to meet Qing Mu to ask if he could go through the library at Qing Mu's palace. Permission was granted and Bai Jue stayed in that library for over a week; searching for information on the Phoenix Dream Pearl but nothing was found in the library.
After trying so hard, it dawned on him that there was a phoenix living in the nine-heaven that he could ask about the phoenix dream pearl. Er'Xi, the wife of his brother Tian Qi, once he thought of this he went to find them right away at Tian Qi's palace but the two were not there.
"Where did the two go?" Bai Jue asked the maid of Tian Qi's palace
"True god Tian Qi went to the four-season palace with the little god." the maid said to him and he was on his way to the four-season palace. Bai Jue soon arrived at the four-season palace and headed towards the summer palace. Bai Jue headed into the summer palace, he saw the three of them sitting in the summer garden, smiling and having a great tea time together; he had once seen this kind of life with his wife in the mortal realm but unfortunately, the two of them were never able to have a child together. Bai Jue watched the three of them for a while, lost in thoughts, but he was brought back to reality by Tain Qi.
"Bai Jue." Tian Qi called out to him and Bai Jue nodded toward the three of them, he headed toward the three of them
"Uncle Bai Jue! Uncle Bai Jue!" the little child called out to him as he ran towards Bai Jue.
"Hello A'Qi." Bai Jue said to him and the little child smiled at him
"What brought you here?" Tian Qi asked him and he smiled at his brother
"I actually came to see your wife, goddess Er'Xi." Bai Jue said to him and the goddess looked up at him
"Me? What could I help you with?" Er'Xi asked him and he smiled as he brought her son back to his mother and sat down with the three of them.
"I want to ask you about the phoenix dream pearl, what do you know about it?" Bai Jue asked her and she stared at him for a long time.
"What do you want with the dream pearl?" Er'Xi asked him and he smiled
"I want to use it to see the past of the winter goddess." Bai Jue confessed to her and Er'Xi smiled kindly at him
"What about Hou Chi? Does she want to know?" Er'Xi asked him and he shook his head
"I do not know if she wants to, but I want to know because of my own reasons." Bai Jue said to her and she sighs
Er'Xi closed her eyes, she looked as if she was sleeping but Bai Jue was about to say something to her. Er'Xi's spiritual form woke up
{"The phoenix dream could only be visible once the phoenix is sleeping."} Er'Xi said as she lightly taped her physical form forehead and a bright orb was pulled out from her forehead.
