The Demon prince visited the winter palace frequently during his stay, and at the end of his stay the demon prince once again asked for the winter goddess.
"As I've mentioned before, I would like the winter goddess to head to the demon realm with us." Da Qi reminded the gods and goddesses since Bai Jue wasn't present.
Qing Mu and the others looked at Hou Chi
"Would you like to go?" Qing Mu asked her and she nodded
"I've talked about this with the prince and I would like to follow them to the demon realm and stay there for a while." Hou Chi said
"And exactly how long would that stay be?" They all had to turn to face Bai Jue making his way to them with a stren face and as he walked by the demon prince, Bai Jue glared at the demon prince and got a smile in return.
"It would be up to Hou Chi, how long she wants to stay is fine with me." Da Qi said to him and he glared at the prince but as he turn around to face Hou Chi there was not a single trace of that glare on his face.
"I think you shouldn't leave the nine heaven realm, you are a goddess of the nine heaven realm after all." Bai Jue said to her in a soft and gentle voice, Hou Chi smiled at him.
"I will still be the winter goddess even if I live in the demon realm all my life." Hou Chi said to him
"true as that may be but shouldn't you stay in the heaven realm to perform your duties?" Bai Jue asked her with a sweet voice and it made her recalled the times when they were humans. She knew too well what he wanted when he uses this voice with her, she has always been weak to this voice of his when she was human. Hou Chi smiled at Bai Jue and nodded
"But I can also still perform my duties while staying in the demon realm." Hou Chi said to him, even though his face was gentle and smiling, Hou Chi knew better.
The two of them continue this while the other looked on, not knowing what to do and who to side with. After a few more minutes, Hou Chi smiled and annouceses that she was going to leave.
"That is that and no one has another say in it." Hou Chi said as she walked off with the demon prince. The demon prince walked over to a well decorated palanquin and offered her a seat with him, but as Hou Chi was about to sit down she was yanked back by Bai Jue.
"Hou Chi, please don't do this to me." Bai Jue bgged her and she smile as she looked at him, knowing that she had won this fight.
"True god Bai Jue, please refrain from acting like a child." Hou Chi said to him and freed her hand from his.
"Then I shall come along as well." Bai Jue said and Hou Chi chuckled, he has always been like this even when they were in the human realm. Just like that time she insisted on going with her to visit her parents.
*Hou Chi remembering the past*
The two of them had spent the entire morning debating about why he should stay in the palace and about why she should let him go with.
"You have your duties to attende to, while I on the other hand has nothing to do." Mei said to him and Chi Wu would smile at her and use a soft voice on her.
"But I will be finsihing soon, so if you just stay with me until I'm done. We could both go visit your parents." Chi Wu said to her and she would tell him to not be like a child but he wouldn't listen and he would sit in the carriage, demanding that if she does not wait for him to finsihed his papers then he shall just go with her and work on it on the way.
Of course in the end Mei had no other way to go around this but to go back inside and let him finished his paperwork before the two of them head off to her parent's house.
*Hou Chi snapped back to the present*
"-Chi is going to the demon palace, so I will go along as well." Bai Jue was finshing his sentence with the demon prince when Hou Chi snapped back to the present
"But I did not ask you to come with us to the demon realm." Da Qi said to him
"FROM THIS DAY ONWARD, WHEREVER THE WINTER GODDESS GOES. I SHALL FOLLOW." Bai Jue stated in a loud and proud voice.
"Please do not delay this any longer than it's needed to be." Hou Chi said to him and he looked at her with that soft and gentle look in his eyes that she was so custom to, she smiled warmly at him.
Hou Chi knew that she would have to come back and face him but she also knew that the love inside her was as real as when she was human. She walked over to him, she fixed his collar like she has always done and she looked up at him with a soft smile.
"Be good and wait for me, can you do that. Hm?" Hou Chi asked him and with a red face, Bai Jue quitely nodded, before departing Hou Chi cupped his face in her hand before she turned around and walked away.
Hou Chi sat down on the palaquin with the demon prince, the demons carried their palaquin towards the gate and slowly, one by one they left the nine heavens.
Bai Jue knew the moment that she was and is his wife, the woman that he has spent his days with in the human world. He watched her leave the nine heaven realm but there was no worries in his head, all he knew was that she was his wife and that she was going to come back to him.
He knew in his head that no matter how long she take, he would wait. Even if she never comes back, he would wait here for her until she does come back. He also thought that she wouldn't be gone for too long since she was just attending the demon prince's wedding.
A day passed, a week then a month and soon a year went by but there was no news from the winter goddess about when she was going to come back to the nine heaven realm.
Bai Jue grew worried that something might've happened to her and that was why she wasn't coming back but each time he got worried, the others would remind him to remain calm. Bai Jue remained as calm as he could until another year passed, he waited and waited but she never came back so he decided keep himself busy until she come back.
