Chapter 96: Peach Mountain, Yunying, and the Three Holy Mothers

Looking at the woman beside the little immortal before her, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond's face was filled with black lines.

Heavenly Emperor!

She coldly called out the name of the Heavenly Emperor, and in the next moment, she saw the stars condense, and once again the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation appeared.

"Jade Pond, why have you summoned me?"

The Heavenly Emperor's incarnation spoke, asking.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond's expression grew even uglier; she pointed at the woman holding the baby beside the little immortal and said, "Come look, who is this person?"

The Heavenly Emperor's incarnation looked puzzled at the woman holding the baby.

In the next moment, a rare look of astonishment appeared on the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation's face.

"Yunying, how can it be you? Weren't you cultivating on Mount Taihang? And what is this?"

To be honest, the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation hadn't expected to see the woman before him here.

The woman's name was Yunying, she was his cousin, the sister of his sister Fairy Yunhua.

Originally, when the Heavenly Emperor returned after his tribulation, Fairy Yunhua, as his younger sister, naturally followed him in ascension.

As for this cousin Yunying, although she had not ascended to become an immortal, she had also received many immortal pills and techniques, and had been cultivating on Mount Taihang all along.

Moreover, judging by the situation, Fairy Yunying had already attained the Dao and become an immortal.

However, what made the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation frown was the baby girl in Fairy Yunying's arms.

"Her bloodline is half-divine, half-human!"

After a slight sense, the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation immediately understood: this cousin of his had, after becoming an immortal, joined with a mortal and borne a child!

"Yunying, look at the fine mess you've made!"

Originally already annoyed because of his daughter Princess Longji's affair, the Heavenly Emperor now learned that his cousin had also fallen for the mortal world, bearing a child with a mortal, and he flew into a rage immediately.

"Cousin brother—no, I should address you as Heavenly Emperor—I was living happily with my husband; why did you send immortals to disturb us, and even kill my husband and Jiao'er?"

Fairy Yunying said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation couldn't help but frown, looking at the little immortal beside Fairy Yunying.

Noticing the Heavenly Emperor's gaze, the little immortal hurriedly knelt and said, "Reporting to Heavenly Emperor, I discovered that half-divine half-human Yang Jiao, and thus followed him, which led me to find Fairy Yunying's family. I did not wish to clash with them, but unfortunately, Fairy Yunying resisted fiercely, and I accidentally killed Yang Tianyou and Yang Jiao in the melee."

"En"

After giving the little immortal a deep look, the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation immediately said, "Since that's the case, you have merit and no fault; the Hall of Soaring Heavens still lacks a Curtain-Rolling General, so you shall take the post."

Upon hearing this, the little immortal immediately knelt down, excited.

"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor; the little immortal will devote himself utterly until death!"

Without giving the little immortal on the ground another glance, the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation looked with a complex expression at Fairy Yunying, her face full of sorrow.

"Yunying, you have already become an immortal; why must you willingly degenerate?"

The Heavenly Emperor's incarnation sighed.

He never imagined that his scheme with the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond, which was originally to secretly bring back Princess Longji, would backfire; the loose immortal they sent out actually found the equally worldly Fairy Yunying.

"Could it be that someone is scheming against me? First Longji, now Yunying—why do these incidents keep happening?"

The Heavenly Emperor's incarnation thought to himself.

However, after experiencing the Goddess Nüwa's wrath that shook the three realms, and with the impending calamity brewing and heavenly secrets obscured, even he could not figure out what had actually happened.

"My husband and child were living happily; why must you come and destroy our happiness?"

Fairy Yunying spoke with a face of bitter sorrow.

"You, you still show no remorse!"

A flash of anger crossed the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation's face; he truly hadn't expected that Fairy Yunying, even at this point, would still be obstinate and unenlightened.

"I love my husband; what wrong is there in that?"

Fairy Yunying shouted angrily: "On the contrary, it's you who sent people to kill my husband and child; I will never forgive you!"

"Impudent!"

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation flew into a rage; only see his right hand grasp the air, and the flat peach in the hand of the little immortal who had just been appointed Curtain-Rolling General flew up.

"My peach!"

The little immortal was greatly startled in his heart.

After all, this nine-thousand-year flat peach was a gift from the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond; he hadn't even had time to warm it up when it was snatched away—how could he not be anxious?

But seeing the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation angry, the little immortal dared not speak; he could only watch helplessly as the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation lightly tossed the floating flat peach.

In the next moment, the flat peach transformed into a Peach Mountain, pressing down Fairy Yunying to the lower realm.

"Yunying, I now press you beneath the Peach Mountain; reflect well on your faults, and when you awaken, I will release you myself."

Having said that, the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation frowned and glanced at the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond.

She understood and nodded, indicating that she would continue investigating the matter of Princess Longji.

Afterward, the Heavenly Emperor's incarnation left, taking with him the little immortal who had just lost the flat peach.

"What on earth is going on?"

The Golden Mother of the Jade Pond also felt somewhat gloomy.

After all, she and the Heavenly Emperor had schemed merely to secretly bring back Princess Longji.

But she never expected that their plan would backfire, finding the Heavenly Emperor's cousin Fairy Yunying instead.

What's more absurd, Fairy Yunying had actually fallen for the mortal world and married a person from the lower realm.

"This must be a problem on the Heavenly Emperor's side; since his return from tribulation, he hasn't even touched me. Now it's fine—his daughter and cousin have both gone mortal, marrying people from the lower realm; moreover, I haven't heard from his sister Fairy Yunhua in ages—she ought to be all right, shouldn't she?"

Thinking this, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond prepared to try, using her soul to question Princess Longji's side.

She wanted to use her soul to contact her own daughter, but that was no easy task.

After all, this required Princess Longji's side to cooperate; otherwise, she could not accomplish it unilaterally.

「No wonder that girl; she had refused my contact several times before, yet she actually went and did such a mistake! 」

Feeling slightly angry in her heart, the Golden Mother of Jade Pool began to mobilize her soul power, attempting to make contact with Princess Longji.

But in the next moment, the Golden Mother of Jade Pool froze.

Because just now, she suddenly discovered that her daughter's soul, which had been tightly shut, had actually loosened.

Naturally, the Golden Mother of Jade Pool would not let this opportunity pass; she mobilized her soul power and began to connect with Princess Longji's soul.

However, what the Golden Mother of Jade Pool did not expect was that, at the instant her soul linked with Princess Longji's, a pink aura suddenly enveloped her soul.

At the same time, an indescribable terrifying sensation, following Princess Longji's soul, was transmitted to the Golden Mother's soul.

「That Longji girl, she actually ……」

The Golden Mother of Jade Pool was greatly startled in her heart; she never imagined she would encounter such an embarrassing scene.

The terrifying sensation transmitted from her soul almost caused her to lose her resolve.

「No, I must cut off the connection! 」

Thinking this, the Golden Mother of Jade Pool hastily prepared to sever the soul connection with Princess Longji.

But what desperate the Golden Mother of Jade Pool found was that the pink aura tightly clung to her and Princess Longji's souls, preventing her from breaking free.

Thus, every sensation of Princess Longji was accurately transmitted to the Golden Mother of Jade Pool.

「Stepmother, what is this? 」

Looking at the Golden Mother of Jade Pool on the phoenix bed, the seven fairy maidens attending nearby couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.
